Chapter 189 The situation is reversed
Everyone was optimistic and did not take Liu Chengjun seriously. Only Guo Hao had no expression on his face.
"What if the reinforcements from the court don't come?"
Everyone was stunned when they heard this, and Wang Zhengzhong said, "Then let's fight out. Anyway, we have eight thousand people now, which is almost the same as the other party, so it may not be impossible to defeat him!"
This is a forced solution, because they have just entered the city and their rule over Jinyang is entirely dependent on high pressure. If the army leaves the city, it will be difficult to protect any changes in the city.
Although the city is quiet now, it is because the army is all in the city. Once the Zhou army chooses to leave the city, they are likely to lose their way out and have to fight with the Han army to the end.
"Report - A large number of troops suddenly found in the northeast direction. The flag should be the Khitan army, and they are currently rushing towards Jinyang!"
Khitan Army!
One Liu Chengjun is not enough, and the Khitans are also here to join in the fun. Now everyone is not calm. Ten thousand Han troops can fight or defend, but if the Khitans come, they will be attacked from both sides.
"Deputy envoy..."
Guo Hao looked at the Han army in the distance and felt very unwilling to accept it. The cooked duck was about to fly, but he had no choice.
If the Khitan does not come, he will think of a way or maybe he can still hold on.
However, if the Khitan sent a large army, Guo Hao would be unable to deal with it at all. It had nothing to do with his ability. It was because he had too few soldiers.
"They really respect me!"
...
In the Luzhou Jiedushi's Office, two Jiedushi sat together.
"What, Guo Hao took Jinyang? What about Liu Chong, have you caught it?"
Li Yun shook his head: "No, I went to the Khitan with Li Yun. It's hard to say whether he will come back or not. Liu Chengjun is now leading 10,000 troops to head from Lanzhou to Taiyuan. Guo Hao still has to deal with him."
"If there were only 10,000 troops, Guo Hao should be fine. Liu Chong really calmed him down. This is a great luck."
"Luck? Why don't you try it? See how many cities you can win!"
"Haha, I was wrong. I don't have the ability of Guo Hao. I heard that he knows magic."
Li Yun shook his head when he heard this. He didn't believe in any magic, but he also heard about the explosives pack. Although he didn't know what was going on, he didn't believe in any magic.
"If he really knows magic, there is no need to dig out Fen and Jin Erhe. Now he is in Jinyang, and it will be very troublesome to deal with it in the future, but he cannot retreat."
Qin Fen nodded after hearing this: "Then you said we should send troops or not. It's time for us to do so. If we don't help, we can't argue."
"Well, Guo Hao is willing to give us the credit, so let's help him, but you and I can not provide much force. It's better to gather 5,000 people per person and get 10,000 people to meet Liu Chengjun."
"Okay, that's it!"
The two hit it off and immediately dispatched 10,000 people to Jinyang. They said before that there was no one, but they actually didn't want to work hard.
During the Tang Dynasty, a military governor had an army of more than 100,000. There were so many people at this time, but they also had tens of thousands of people, otherwise they would not be able to conquer such a large territory.
The imperial army was all central imperial guards. Guo Wei had 100,000 imperial guards, but now there are 50,000 left in Bianliang. This cannot be moved. After all, he, the emperor, also needs protection.
The rest were all divided and they went to fight against Khitan, Southern Tang, and Li Shouzhen, so he said there was no one.
Guo Hao had fought for so long before, and the two had been watching, and now there was only one last battle left. If they didn't exert some force, they would be embarrassed to take this credit.
The news of the two men sending troops soon reached Jinyang. Guo Hao was overjoyed after hearing this. Now he has confirmed that the army in the northeast is the Khitan army, with a total of 10,000 people, which are reinforcements invited by Liu Chong.
Liu Chong's emperor was enthroned by the Liao Kingdom, and he called himself the son emperor. If his son was bullied, I naturally couldn't ignore it.
Therefore, the 20,000 troops put a lot of pressure on Guo Hao, especially the Khitan Army, whose combat effectiveness is far superior to that of the Han army and is a difficult opponent.
...
The enemy troops on both sides came to Jinyang almost at the same time. Guo Hao asked Zhao Kuangyin to guard the Han army at the west gate, while he himself came to the east gate to guard the Khitan.
There are two gates in the east and west, each of which has four thousand people, Yang Guangyi, Wang Shenqi followed Zhao Kuangyin, and Wang Zhengzhong followed Guo Hao.
Both sides seemed to know each other, but they did not mean to join forces. Instead, they surrounded Jinyang with tacit understanding, leaving only the gap in the north.
It is impossible to run north. To run south, you have to run south. To the north is the territory of the Khitan. Guo Hao dared not bring so many people deep into the Khitan.
In order to delay time, Guo Hao never agreed to the quarrels. If you want to attack the city, I will defend the city. Anyway, he must drag it and wait for Li Yun's army to arrive.
On the way, Li Yun also heard the news about the Khitan army and was shocked and quickly accelerated the marching, fearing that it would be too late for Guo Hao to defend Jinyang.
...
Bianliang City, the imperial palace.
"Your Majesty, good news, good news, your Majesty!"
Liu Songfeng came in from outside the palace in a blink of an eye. He walked along the way, but his slightly fat body didn't shake at all. Not everyone had this skill.
"Oh? What good news?"
"Your Majesty, Murong Yanchao is defeated and fled back to Yanzhou!"
When Guo Wei heard this, his expression immediately became cold. In his opinion, Murong Yanchao could not make any big waves at all. It was normal to be defeated. Even with the help of Southern Tang, he was not a match for the Great Zhou.
"Your Majesty, there is another good news. Deputy Envoy Guo defeated Liu Chengjun and attacked Jinyang. Liu Chongbei fled!"
"Um?"
Guo Wei stood up suddenly and said, "You say it again, what's wrong with Guo Hao?"
"Guo Hao led his troops into Jinyang and drove away Liu Chong!"
"Hahahahahahahaha, so, Liu Chong has pacified?"
Seeing that Guo Wei was happy, Liu Song felt a little reluctant to speak, but Guo Wei noticed his expression, calmed down, and asked, "Liu Chong was not dead and fled north, where is the Khitan?"
"This... Liu Chengjun led a 10,000 army to besiege Jinyang, and the Khitan also sent 10,000 troops to surround Jinyang..."
"What?"
Guo Wei was shocked and then furious: "This is the good news you said? Guo Hao was surrounded by a heavy siege, how could he tell me!"
Seeing Guo Wei angry, Liu Song wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and explained: "Your Majesty, don't panic. Although Guo Hao was surrounded, Li Yun, the governor of Zhaoyi, and Qin Fen, the governor of Anguo, have sent 10,000 troops to support Guo Hao.
There are also 8,000 troops in Guo Hao's city. Although Liu Chong and Khitan have 20,000 troops, they cannot conquer Jinyang for a while. The reinforcements should have arrived at this time."
When Guo Wei heard this, his expression on his face eased. To be honest, Guo Hao gave him too much surprise. It was normal for Guo Hao to not be able to take Jinyang, but he actually took it.
But the matter of taking down Jinyang is not over. Liu Chong and his son are still alive. They still have troops in their hands, and everything is unknown.
"No, tell Guo Rong that he should send 5,000 troops to go north immediately to help Guo Hao defend Jinyang, and at the same time, he would also select several military governors to take over Liu Chong's twelve prefectures."
"yes."
After making a series of arrangements, Liu Song left, Guo Wei still felt uneasy, but Guo Hao now understood what it means to shoot himself in the foot.
After the soaked city wall, it lost its previous toughness. The most serious thing is sinking. After the river water is soaked, the foundation sinking, causing terrible cracks to appear in the city wall.
Liu Chong and his son joined forces at the south gate. Looking at the traces on the city wall, he felt like he was a different life.
There was a moment when the two felt that the situation was hopeless, but now the form was reversed and their identity was called.
"Guo Hao, give up, no one will come to save you. We have sent someone to intercept Li Yun's army. We should have encountered it now!"
Liu Chong stood in the military camp and shouted at the top of the city. Guo Hao was still dressed up. Seeing that Liu Chong was so angry, he took a bow and arrow and pointed it at Liu Chong.
Whoosh!
The sound of breaking through the air sounded, and the feather arrow pressed against Liu Chong's arm. Guo Hao shook his head: "The distance is too far. The wind is a bit strong today. This bow is still soft. If there is a strong bow, there may be a chance."
After Guo Hao finished speaking, Zhao Kuangyin came over quickly. Guo Hao handed the bow and arrow to his personal soldiers, regardless of Liu Chong's angry gaze.
"How is it, have you found something?"
Zhao Kuangyin shook his head and said, "I went to the pharmacies all over the city, and there was only a little bit of it, which was not enough for you to want."
Guo Hao shook his head, and he knew that it was not easy to find saltpeter, otherwise he would not only bring more than twenty explosive packs. It seems that he would have to pay attention to the mine when he goes back this time.
"If there is no, there is no. If not, let's join forces and fight out, and then burn Jinyang with fire, and don't give them a chance!"
