Chapter 372 The Three Requirements of Li Lung

At the entrance of Huichang City, not only was the brave Liu Rengong worried, but his subordinates were even more shocked. The veterans who followed him from Guizhou were better, some of them were Uighur Hu, and they have always been more bold. But the newly recruited recruits have been scared. Last time, the six cities in Huichang were broken, and 100,000 young and strong were plundered. The rest were not strong at all. The new moves were just short and tall.

Now when I saw the soldiers and horses outside the city that looked like the ocean, I was already dissatisfied and fought with each other. Even Liu Rengong suddenly smelled a smell. Damn, someone was so scared that he had peed his pants.

"General, what should I do?" Liu Dali, the head of the servant team of Liu Rengong, asked. This servant team is the only force that Liu Rengong can rely on. There are fifty people, and the food and salary are twice as high as other soldiers. Even the food in normal times is much better than that of other soldiers, and at least one meal a day is served. But now even the servant head is pale and asked, indicating that his Huichang camp has completely lost its combat effectiveness.

Liu Rengong pondered for a while, holding the battlements tightly with his hands, and the soldiers and horses below were getting closer and closer. Based on his years of experience in staying in the army, he could see at a glance that there were at least 30,000 people in the army. Moreover, when he saw the opponent's array, the advance was full of rules, the military flags did not fall, and the smoke and dust did not disperse. Not to mention the neat formation, there were cavalry on the left and right, escorting the two wings, and a cavalry in front of him took the lead in searching the way. It was very rare for the other party to be so cautious.

So many soldiers and horses could drown him with one spit. What's more, if such a powerful army came to an end, it would be possible that hundreds of new recruits from his Huichang camp would have been drowned by the urine they frightened.

With a slight squinting eyes, Liu Rengong looked at the other party's banner carefully. As he approached, he finally saw clearly. In addition to the Zhendong Army flag, he also used the Li-character flag. He had also heard of some generals of the Zhendong Army. There were many generals named Li. There may be no generals who commanded tens of thousands of troops. Could it be that Li Guan, the military envoy of the Zhendong Army, arrived?

Thinking of this, I no longer have any thoughts of luck in my heart.

However, the more critical it was, Liu Rengong became calmer. He was not foolish when he was able to get from a tomb robber to the ten generals stationed in a county today, but he was able to keep calm when he was at the critical moment. When his mind started, he quickly analyzed the situation in front of him.

Given the situation in front of him, the opponent has 30,000 troops and a large number of cavalry, and his Huichang army only has 100 cavalry. Even if he loses the 400 new recruits, he will not be able to escape. Since he cannot escape, it is even more impossible to defend the city. Even if Huichang is not far from Youzhou City, such a large army, as long as the opponent rushes forward, a rain of arrows can suppress them so hard that they can't raise their heads, and then they can instantly break through Huichang City.

"Go, open the city gate, I will personally welcome the arrival of Li Jun Envoy!" Liu Rengong quickly made a resolution.

Liu Dali, the head of the servant team, was Liu Rengong's brother from his family. When he heard this decision, he stammered: "General. You, are you going to surrender to the Zhendong Army?"

Liu Rengong looked at the nervous faces around him and laughed at the sky, "Hahaha, how are you here? What are you afraid of? Do you know who is coming down there?"

"Zhendong Army! Last time they robbed the six cities of Huichang and plundered 100,000 young and strong men and women." Liu Dali replied in confusion.

"What are you talking nonsense?" Liu Rengong kicked his brother and said, "How can you hear Hu Fang's rhetoric? Don't you know that the Li Jun Envoy of Zhendong Army and our Dashui Li are actually brothers?"

Liu Dali ignored the footprints on his body and quickly retorted: "It's impossible. Our general is an Uighur, but Li Guan from the Zhendong Army heard that he was a Han Chinese. How could they be brothers?"

Liu Rengong is now very dissatisfied with his stupid brother who is like a cow. He thought in his heart that after passing this level, he must replace this stupid guy. He said with a smile: "In addition to his biological brothers, there is also a kind of brother who is an alliance brother. Don't you know that last time our general drove Zhang Gongsu away, we had strong support from General Li Jiyu? The weapons and war horses in our hands were all bought from Zhendong Army. And last time, Zhendong Army did not come to rob Youzhou, but the rest were to create momentum and help us share Zhang Gongsu's troops. Otherwise, there would be no such easy success. So, to be honest, this Li Jungong and our general were a family. Although Jinlan had not yet been sworn, they were also brothers in the alliance."

"You guys say that our handsome brothers are here, can we invite them into the city without opening the door?"

The officers of Xiuchang Camp seemed to understand it, and they felt that things were like this, but they also felt that it was not the case, but they couldn't tell what was wrong.

Liu Rengong took five hundred troops to the East City Gate and ordered the soldiers guarding the city to open the door.

The east gate of Huichang City was wide open, and Liu Rengong led his troops out of the city to welcome him, and asked the people in the city to go out of the city to welcome him.

The vanguard of the camp, Li Wei, led a thousand soldiers from his headquarters to the city of Huichang. He saw a large group of people coming out from afar. He thought that some Youzhou general in the city had a problem with his head and dared to block the car. However, when he saw closer, the east gate of Huichang City was wide open, hundreds of soldiers and many people stood respectfully at the city gate, and they were actually opening the door to greet him.

Li Wei quickly returned the situation to Li Guan, the Central Army. After Li Guan heard about it, he couldn't help but chuckled. He ordered Li Wei to stay in place and wait for the vanguard You Yi to send Guo Zhenhai and the vanguard guerrilla envoy Qin Zong to take over the city after the troops arrived. However, he reminded him to act carefully and prevent fraud.

Three thousand soldiers gathered together, and after careful inspection, they found that there were indeed no other soldiers in the city, only five hundred soldiers outside the city. They quickly took over Huichang City. Then Li Guan's central army, left and right sides and back sides arrived one after another, and entered the city one after another.

As for Liu Rengong's five hundred men, Li Guan did not meet them as Liu Rengong expected, but he was not hostile to them. Li Guan ordered the five hundred men to reward each, one thousand coins and two kilograms of wine and meat. However, just in case, Li Guan still let the five hundred men station outside the city. Huichang City was temporarily requisitioned by Li Guan as a temporary base in Youzhou.

After receiving a reward, the soldiers of Huichang Camp were all surprised to survive the disaster. Although they were driven out of the comfortable city camp, they finally saved their lives.

On the same day, an officer from Zhendong Army found Liu Rengong and asked him to bring the letter back to Youzhou.

After Li Maoxun drove away the former general Zhang Gongsu, he had already appointed himself as the subordinate of Youzhou. Although he had not officially called him the general, everyone below had called him the general, and he had already moved into the Longlu Army General's Mansion.

As early as two days ago, Li Maoxun had already received the news that the East Army of Dengzhou Town came again. He knew very well why Li Guan came. He had already heard the news that Li Guan was appointed by the emperor as the commander-in-chief of the eastern camp of Li Keyong, a native of Shatuo, Datong. Li Guan must have come here by the way to Datong.

But things are certainly not that simple.

When he drove Zhang Gongsu away, Li Guan was a big help. He not only sold his weapons, but also helped him keep the secret, and even sent troops to Youzhou to help him disperse some of the troops in Youzhou.

According to the agreement, after the matter is completed, he should give Li Guan a million stag or 300,000 stag of grain.

However, after the matter was completed, he kept dragging the money and grain. Li Guan sent three envoys to come, but he didn't give it. It was not that he couldn't bear to leave the money, but that after he became the position of General Lu Long, he realized that this position was not such a good seat. Although he used Chen Gongyan's signature to cheat and half a dozen to win this position, he was just Li Maoxun. It was not Zhang Gongyan, especially he was still an Uighur.

He had no foundation in Youzhou, and there were many military leaders below, and each of them coveted his position as the commander. Last time, Li Yan snatched six counties and took away 100,000 young men. This was originally the case, at that time, Li Maoxun was not Lu Long, so Li Yan actually helped him. But the bad thing was that Li Yan had too much appetite and broke the six counties in a row. This made those military leaders use this as an excuse to attack him.

If he hadn't had ten thousand soldiers in Youzhou, he would have probably driven Zhang Gongsu away to make wedding dresses for others. However, if he wanted to take out money and grain to give Li Guan, it would obviously be angering for the public. Li Maoxun had to temporarily compromise with the military leaders.

Those military leaders were temporarily relieved. But now, Li Yan is here again.

"Master General, Liu Kutou is back!"

"Isn't he in Huichang?" Li Maoxun still had an impression of his son's subordinates.

"Huichang has fallen into Li Yan's hands, and Li Yan asked Liu Kutou to bring the letter back."

"Let him come in." Hearing that Li Yan had taken Huichang down, Li Maoxun felt a burst of headaches.

As soon as Liu Rengong entered the hall, he immediately knelt down to Li Maoxun, "I am humble to pay homage to the commander-in-chief."

"Get up, let's talk about Huichang?"

Liu Rengong explained the matter in detail, only saying that Li Yan was powerful and because he had not received a reply from the commander, he did not dare to start a war with Li Yan rashly, so he temporarily withdrew from Huichang City to preserve his power and waited for the commander of the commander. Finally, he took out a letter from his arms and submitted it to Li Maoxun with his hands.

Li Maoxun opened the letter to read it. After reading it, he felt his chest felt stuffy and he couldn't breathe.

Liu Rengong observed his face and hurriedly stepped forward to help tactile his back. It took Li Maoxun a little while to get better. But his face was still very bad. Liu Rengong took the opportunity to glance at the letter paper on the table. He saw that there was not much talk, and Xin was written by Li Guan himself and wrote three things. The first thing was that Li Guan asked for the one million guan owed by Li Maoxun. However, now, the one million guan has become two million guan, which has doubled directly. The second thing was that Li Guan said that he was going to quell the rebellion this time, and that logistics and grain transportation was inconvenient, so he asked Li Maoxun to prepare 100,000 guan for the East Army of the Town in Youzhou. In addition, Li Guan also said that he would temporarily borrow Huichang from Youzhou Town, Guiyi, Zunxian and Yi County, and said that he would return it after the rebellion was quelled."

Could it be that Li Maoxun's face is so ugly? Li Guan's move is a general. Let's talk about the debt first. It was originally one million, but now it is two million. Although Li Maoxun has already taken the position of commander, after he came to power, Li Maoxun took out a lot of money and grain to reward Lu Long's army and generals, and the inventory was almost exhausted. Now Li Maoxun can't even get one million, so where does it get two million?

Li Guan proposed to borrow four counties, which was a bit of a direct response. These four counties happened to be along the Giant Horse Water and Yishui from the beach of Youzhou to the four counties along the Giant Horse Water and Yishui from the sea of ​​Taihang Mountain. How could Li Maoxun increase his answer? If he agreed, what prestige will he have in the future and how can he command the Youzhou army?

What's more, when Li Yan sent troops, he actually asked Li Maoxun to prepare 100,000 stones of grain for him, and completely regarded Li Maoxun, the commander, as his subordinate.

Although Li Yan was a county duke, he was just an army envoy. Even if Li Maoxun was obviously the descendant of Lu Long's army, he was still a commander of the town, even higher than Li Yan.

Li Guan, this is a blatant provocation!

But I don’t know how Li Maoxun plans to respond, whether it is tough or compromise? Liu Rengong was also a little stunned for a moment.
Chapter completed!
