Hold His Hand

Lu Yanzhou's soldiers had enough food and rest, and with sufficient supplies, they walked faster than Sun Chongshao.

At a place still a day away from the capital, Lu Yanzhou set up camp and began to wait for Sun Chongshao's arrival.

Suddenly, there was a smell of salted fish in the barracks.

Wang Tingyun and Wang Pinghou, father and son who used to use expensive incense for their clothes, are now marinated with salted fish!A fishy smell.

"General Yan, it is said that Sun Chongshao has brought an army of 30. Can General Yan be sure to deal with him?" Wang Tingyun asked Lu Yanzhou.

When Lu Yanzhou went to the capital this time, he only brought 5 people with him. For the 2 miles, there are still [-] people who will not go to the battlefield because of logistics.

30 vs. [-]... Wang Tingyun was worried that Lu Yanzhou would not be able to beat Sun Chongshao.

Lu Yanzhou scratched the beard on his face: "It's okay, we will definitely win."

In fact, the population in this era is very small. In the past years, there were famines, plagues, and frequent wars, and many people died.

So now the entire Great Yan is estimated to have more than 2000 million people.

Materials such as food are even scarcer.

Sun Chongshao claims to have an army of 30, but actually 15 is not bad.

Otherwise... where did Sun Chongshao get so much food to feed them?

This time it happened suddenly, and he couldn't afford to pull such a huge team in a short time.

Moreover, Lu Yanzhou had dealt with Sun Chongshao before, and his logistics personnel were stronger than Sun Chongshao's soldiers. As for his soldiers...he recently upgraded their equipment.

Lu Yanzhou is very confident, and what is needed in war is this confidence!

Seeing Lu Yanzhou like this, his subordinates are full of confidence and fighting spirit!

When Sun Chongshao came with his "30 troops", he met Lu Yanzhou's rested and strong fighters.

In fact, Sun Chongshao had already received the news that Yan Hang was going to the capital too.

But he still came, after all, he and Yan Hang will have a fight sooner or later!

Now that there are many people, it is not certain who will win the fight between the two sides, but if Yan Hang is allowed to go to the capital first, get the resources of the capital and then ascend the throne as emperor... At that time, he will have no chance of turning around.

Without further ado, the two sides fought together.

Lu Yanzhou's soldiers wore uniform armor and had sharp weapons, but Sun Chongshao's soldiers did not have such conditions...

But this is not the key point, the most important thing is that Lu Yanzhou used gunpowder.

Very primitive bomb, not very lethal, but can be used to scare people.

The shouts of "surrender, don't kill" accompanied by the explosion broke down the morale of Sun Chongshao's soldiers, and Lu Yanzhou specially dispatched a specially trained special force to enter the siege and capture Sun Chongshao.

Wang Tingyun: "..." The progress of this battle was a bit beyond his expectation.

He was even more surprised when he saw that Lu Yanzhou's logistics personnel and uninjured soldiers went to rescue the wounded prisoners together, even cooking for the prisoners.

Generally, after they fight and capture the enemy, they will not give them food or treatment for a day or two, because food and medicinal materials are very precious after all.

And starving for two days can also make the captives weak to resist.

As for the wounded who will die... isn't it just right for the weak to die?

"General Yan, you are really good to the prisoners!" Wang Tingyun admired Yan Hang more and more!

When he was young, he also had a dream of changing the world, but later on, he gradually forgot about it.

Now, he feels he might be able to watch someone else change the world.

Lu Yanzhou said: "They have already surrendered, so they are not prisoners, they are my soldiers."

Wang Tingyun asked: "General, do you have enough food?"

Lu Yanzhou said: "Not enough, but it can last for a few days."

The entire population of Dayan is not as large as the population of a super-big city in the later generations, but the agriculture at this time is not developed enough, and there have been wars in the past few years. Even if Lu Yanzhou finds another way to fish to feed his soldiers, food is still a bit tight.

Wang Tingyun said: "If the general can conquer the capital quickly, he should be able to get a lot of grain. Many aristocratic families have countless grain reserves, and there are several granaries near the capital."

"Tomorrow, we will go to the capital." Lu Yanzhou said.

Wang Tingyun said again at this time: "General, although Xie Chengze is an eunuch, he is very talented. If the general matches up with him, it will not be easy to take down the capital. In my opinion, the general can recruit him."

Wang Tingyun actually admired Xie Chengze very much.

Before, he felt that Xie Chengze had done too much, and he was afraid that it would be difficult to survive, but after getting to know Yan Hang deeply, he felt that Yan Hang might let Xie Chengze go.

"Oh?" Lu Yanzhou looked at Wang Tingyun in surprise.

"I have some friendship with Xie Chengze, and I can help the general lobby Xie Chengze." Wang Tingyun said again.

Lu Yanzhou laughed: "No, my friendship with Xie Chengze is much deeper than your friendship with Xie Chengze!"

Wang Tingyun: "..." No matter what Xie Chengze is, he is also his nephew. How could the friendship between Yan Hang and Xie Chengze be deeper than him and Xie Chengze!

Lu Yanzhou felt a little guilty towards Wang Tingyun because of his relationship with Miss Wang's family.

But he was sure that Wang Tingyun didn't know his existence.

As for the young lady of the Wang family, he had inquired secretly, and the girl was married long ago and had a child, so she would definitely pretend not to know him when she saw him again.

He had previously concealed his appearance in front of Wang Tingyun, fearing that Wang Tingyun would find out that he was Xie Chengze's bedside person. After all, if this matter got out, it would be bad for Xie Chengze, and the emperor would suspect Xie Chengze.

But now he doesn't have to worry about this anymore, after all, Xie Chengze has already killed the emperor.

Lu Yanzhou has treated Wang Tingyun with a normal heart.

In the early morning of the next day, Lu Yanzhou left most of the people behind and asked them to collect prisoners, but he himself took 1 horses and went straight to the capital.

After more than five years apart, he wanted to thank Chengze!

He could finally see Xie Chengze!

Xie Chengze naturally knew about the battle between Lu Yanzhou and Sun Chongshao near the capital.

He sealed off the capital, but his own people kept coming in and out, and he even sent people to check for news.

He originally thought that Lu Yanzhou would let Sun Chongshao open the way, and he would reap the benefits of being a fisherman in the rear, but he didn't expect that Lu Yanzhou would defeat Sun Chongshao's army first.

But it's normal to do this... Lu Yanzhou's army is very powerful, and Sun Chongshao is not strong enough to fight against him. Lu Yanzhou can deal with Sun Chongshao first, and then come to the capital.

This morning, Xie Chengze sat on the dragon chair again, looking at the officials standing below with a smile.

These officials have insisted on going to court every day for half a month, and the number of people has decreased by half.

Each of them lost at least ten catties.

What a pity!

Xie Chengze laughed out loud.

The officials below him were trembling all over, and they didn't dare to lift their heads, for fear that in the next second, Xie Chengze suddenly felt that their heads were ugly and wanted to chop them off.

Xie Chengze said at this time: "Everyone, our family has just received good news. Sun Chongshao's 30 troops have arrived near the capital."

The breathing of these officials almost stopped, the 30 army!Xie Chengze will never be able to deal with it!

Are they saved?

No, not necessarily!

Seeing that he was about to die, Xie Chengze might drag the whole capital to be buried with him!

Xie Chengze said again: "It's a pity, he met Yan Hang and was captured by Yan Hang!"

Officials: "..." Their minds went blank, and now they don't know how to react.

"Yan Hang is coming soon, do you think...would he like the current capital?" Xie Chengze asked.

Before all the officials could speak, Xie Chengze said: "Everyone is silent, it's useless if you have a long mouth... Let's get a few people to chop it up!"

Tian Qi immediately pulled down a few people.

The officials trembled even more.

But Xie Chengze stood up: "He came too fast, I haven't finished my work, so I can only work harder today and get things done first..."

Not all the people who were going to be killed were officials. Some of the gentry who had fled to the capital were not officials.

Now... let's kill them together!
