The New Biography of Han Lingdi

Chapter 125 Counterattack
Yanzhou has entered a stalemate stage. The Han army defended the city, and the White Lotus Sect attacked the city. The two sides started a tug-of-war, but unexpectedly, the Han army was led by General Lian Po.Tenaciously defend the city.Even the White Lotus Sect planned and planned many times to attack the Han army, but it has been solved by Lian Po, and the White Lotus Sect lost its soldiers and generals.

"General, the imperial court ordered [-] new troops to arrive in Yanzhou today." Zhang Yang came in excitedly at this time and said.

Why are they on the defensive all the time.The most important reason is that there are not enough soldiers. If there are [-] new troops, at least the number of troops is almost the same.

"Then who will lead the new army?" Lian Po also knew that this army was coming, which relieved his urgent need.It's just who the leader is!Is the command of Yanzhou and the new army different? If not, who has the command of the battlefield.

One of the most important reasons why the Yanzhou soldiers and horses persisted for three months in the last three months, not only were they not wiped out, but even their combat effectiveness became stronger and stronger. One of the most important reasons was that only Lian Po was in command.

All troops must agree to his orders and complete them without compromise. In this case, only by enforcing orders and prohibitions can all forces be united to the greatest extent.They were able to hold on for so many days despite being at a disadvantage.

But after the arrival of the new army, who will be in command of the new army?If the new army still has a commander, then the situation they face is even more complicated. Who do they listen to?Lian Po was commanded by Yanzhou, and it stands to reason that Yanzhou's army to suppress the White Lotus Sect must obey Lian Po's orders.

But the new army had some problems, they followed Liu Hong's orders directly, if Lian Po commanded this time, would they be suspected of overstepping.

So Lian Po is more curious now.Who is in command of this unit?

"Your Majesty's order is that the commanders of these three troops will obey your orders and be controlled by you." Zhang Yang said.He had to admit that although he had never met this emperor, it could be seen from these things that he was a person who did not doubt others but did not trust others.

The [-] new army was directly handed over to Lian Po for control. "My lord, thank you Your Majesty." Lian Po said.Lian Po knew that Liu Hong wanted him to end, so he was giving him a credit. Lian Po had to accept this affection, and if he didn't accept it, it would be fine.

"Okay, now it's time for us to counterattack." Lian Po said happily, this battle was too suffocating, although he originally had a lot of troops, but he still had to garrison the city, he couldn't go all at once Let all the troops concentrate, and in the end he can mobilize more than 1000 people.

This kind of soldiers and horses can take the initiative to attack, so defense can only be the best choice.As long as [-] new troops arrive, this situation can be changed.

"Tuo Basi, Yu Wentai, and Liu Qi who led the army this time, I don't know the three very well, but this time, His Majesty asked Murong Han and Li Ke to use these two experienced generals as the rear army. It seems that Your Majesty, we need to train Tuo Basi, Yu Wentai, and Liu Qi." Lian Po said.

This time, Lian Po originally thought that Murong Han and Li Keyong should be leading the army this time.After all, these two people also participated in the first counter-insurgency and had some experience.

As for Tuo Basi and others, they were newcomers who had never been on the battlefield. They wanted to be like Murong Han and Li Keyong. Liu Hong also fully supported Tuo Basi and others.So this time he didn't use Murong Han, who already had some experience, but a newcomer.

"I think so. Your Majesty's intention now is to train more outstanding generals to balance the influence in the army. Murong Han is like this, Tuoba Si is like this, and all of us are like this." Zhang Yang also knew that Liu Hong the meaning of.

If there is only one general in a dynasty that can take action, then this dynasty is a deformed dynasty.All people rely on one person, and the emperor will not live in peace in this case. The most obvious example is Yue Fei in the Southern Song Dynasty.

Is Yue Fei good?Yue Fei is of course powerful, he was the banner general of the Southern Song Dynasty after the fall of the Northern Song Dynasty.It can be said that he basically guaranteed the safety of the Southern Song Dynasty in the early days of the Southern Song Dynasty, but in the end, Zhao Gou killed him on an unwarranted charge.

Is this mistake Zhao Gou's?Should an emperor consider the stability of the imperial power? Then the question arises. Yue Fei’s slogan was to welcome back the Two Saints. So the question arises: who will the throne be given to these two emperors if they come back?Yue Fei alone basically controls all the troops of the Southern Song Dynasty. Under such circumstances, can he be at ease as an emperor?
Therefore, a large part of Yue Fei's death was actually due to his own reasons.In order to avoid this situation, Liu Hong has been training new generals.As long as there are multiple existences of the famous general at the same time, this situation will not happen.Yue Fei's situation would not have happened. Everyone checks and balances each other, so that he is safe enough!

"Okay, all the [-] troops of the new army have entered Yanzhou now. I think it's almost here. Should we plan an attack?" Lian Po said, looking at the map of Yanzhou, his eyes are full of the current offensive and defensive. Measures, now that the White Lotus Sect is weak in the later stage, there is no final strength to launch another attack.

Their peak period has also passed, and it is not bad for them to be able to keep their current form at this time.It's a pity that the big man is not ready to let these people go.While you are sick, I will kill you.

"It's better to wait until all the troops are in place, and then we can discuss on our own. We don't know their combat effectiveness, their training mode, or even their cooperation level. We need to master these before we can conduct a battle. Planning." Lian Po said.

The White Lotus Sect knew nothing about this new army. In fact, Lian Po basically knew nothing about this new army. Neither he nor the White Lotus Sect had contact with this new army. The only difference now is that it is this army It's from Lian Po's side, but from the opponent of the White Lotus Sect.

In these three months, Lian Po has demonstrated the consciousness and talents that a famous general and a veteran on the battlefield should have.

In these three months, he also had 1 troops to fight against the enemy's 7 troops.Not a single city was lost, and this period was also his best period as a general.

He also understands that Liu Hong is a very good leader, and he will set up the best platform for his subordinates.It will also give your subordinates the best space to display their talents.The blood in Lian Po's heart was ignited again because of this time, he seemed to be the boy in his twenties again.

"Then listen to the general. After all the troops are assembled, we will discuss how to destroy the White Lotus Sect." Zhang Yang said.
