"Please come in." Wu Nian raised his hand and said.
"Yes." Hojo Umasa left the tent in response, and a moment later brought in a heroic man of about thirty years old.
"Guan Ke, the son of Guan Gong, the magistrate of Liangzhou, pays homage to the Emperor." Guan Ke bowed and saluted with a respectful expression.
Wu Nian put aside his last doubt, nodded and said, "No courtesy."
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Guan Ke thanked him, straightened his waist and abdomen, but lowered his head slightly, not daring to look directly at Wu Nian. He was about to express his intention.
Wu Nian asked first: "I heard that I made Han Lao the king of Xiliang. Your father refused to accept it and raised an army against Han Laocheng in the name of Chu State. Is your father loyal to Chu State or only against Han Laocheng? ?”
Guan Ke immediately clasped his fists and bent down and said, "Return to your majesty. My father only opposed Han Laocheng. How dare he, the governor of Gansu, steal territory and call himself the King of Xiliang?"
"My father is willing to surrender Liangzhou Mansion to Your Majesty. I am here this time. I am both an envoy and a hostage."
"It's quite straightforward." Wu Nian laughed and said, "Okay. I will use you as a bachelor to follow me."
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Guan Ke expressed his joy and thanked him.
In fact, the housekeeper is not loyal to anyone, he just follows the crowd and follows whoever is stronger.
But Han Laocheng, the governor of Gansu, also dared to steal the destiny. Guan Chaoqiang was dissatisfied, so he raised troops to fight against Han Laocheng.
Later, Guan Chaoqiang heard that the Han army had bypassed the street pavilion and was invincible. So he sent him here, hoping to join the Han Dynasty.
I just don’t know if the Emperor of Han is willing to accept it.
Now that the title of king and minister has been decided, Guan Ke is completely relieved.
"Your Majesty. In that case, please send me to Liangzhou Mansion. I can recruit talents in Liangzhou Mansion and build up the officials of the Governor's Mansion. This will also facilitate the communication between Liangzhou Mansion and Your Majesty in the future." Chen Ding stood up. Full of energy.
"Chen Qing. You are really a carrot and a trap. Just now you were shirking the post of governor, but now you can't wait to work hard." Wu Nian laughed and said without stopping, "Okay. I will arrange ten for you. Officials, you take them to take office."
"Yes." Chen Ding responded loudly.
Wu Nian turned his head and introduced to Guan Ke: "This is Chen Ding, the governor of Gansu whom I just appointed. Governor Chen."
"Master Chen." Guan Ke quickly bowed to Chen Ding and said.
Chen Dingyi held his hand in return, and then left the tent with his head held high.
Wu Nian said a few words to Guan Ke and then sent him away.
Five days later.
morning.
Jieting City.
Feng Chong's cavalry was divided into two. Half of them were stationed in the city to protect the emperor. Half of them were led by Feng Chong, who set up camp outside the city to guard the surrendered troops from Gansu.
These were all good soldiers, and Wu Nian could neither leave them alone nor allow them to disarm and return to their fields.
The temporary palace was heavily guarded.
Wu Nian was wearing a dragon robe and walking in the yard. After five days of recuperation, his injuries have stabilized and all he needs to do is wait for the scabs to fall off.
"Your Majesty, General Xiao is here." Hojo Ushimasa walked in from outside, caught up with Wu Nian, bent down and saluted.
"Please." Wu Nian stood still and turned around to say.
"Yes." Hojo Umasa turned around and left. Soon after, he led Xiao Yu and four others in from the outside.
Including Xiao Yu, they are all generals of ten thousand households, and they are also the confidants of King Wu Min of Qi.
The future general of Qi Emperor.
Everyone has a strong waist and a strong back, looking very majestic.
"Greetings to Your Majesty." Xiao Yu and others immediately bowed and saluted after seeing Wu Nian.
"No courtesy. You have worked hard all the way." Wu Nian asked them to get up first, and then said to General Wang Anding: "Wang Qing, you will lead ten thousand households to guard the street pavilions and guard the prisoners."
"The rest of us, together with the others, will send troops to Lanzhou City tomorrow. Han Laocheng will be completely eliminated."
"Yes." Everyone bowed and saluted together.
Wu Nian nodded and was about to wave for them to go down and rest. An imperial guard ran over and saluted: "Your Majesty. Qin An has sent back the news. Yuan Xiao still refuses to surrender."
"Yuan Xiao?" Xiao Yu and others also knew about this matter, and they looked at each other. Xiao Yu took a step forward and saluted: "Your Majesty, Yuan Xiao is so ignorant of current affairs. Please let me attack Qin'an first and kill Yuan Xiao."
"He is very ignorant of current affairs, but I appreciate him even more. He is a loyal minister." Wu Nian showed appreciation, shook his head and said, "No need. Let him guard the isolated city and fulfill his loyalty."
"Kill Han Laocheng later. Can he still defend the isolated city?"
"Yes." Xiao Yu did not dare to disobey and retreated.
same day. The Han army set up camp. Early the next morning. Wu Nian led Feng Chong's cavalry of 10,000 households, Xiao Yu and other 30,000 households of infantry to attack Lanzhou City in a mighty manner.
At the same time, Wang Gui and Zhang Sheng, two household guards with thousands of households scattered in various places, also gathered in Lanzhou.
After Han Lin's death, the street pavilion changed hands.
In addition, Wang Gui and Zhang Sheng were operating in Longxi during this period. Even if the Han army did not leave any soldiers in the cities.
There won't be any trouble.
As the Han army gathered, it was really a dark cloud that was about to destroy the city.
The Xiliang Kingdom, which had just been established for a few days, was already on the verge of subjugation.
............
Lanzhou City.
This prosperous city was completely shut down.
Many businessmen and wealthy households fled.
Han Laocheng allowed them to escape, but he did not allow them to escape with food.
Not even a grain of food can be taken out of the city.
Now the entire city has completely turned into a military fortress, filled with a murderous atmosphere.
The city was full of soldiers and militiamen.
From the outside, this is an impenetrable city. But from a human perspective, it is already very fragile.
Both the soldiers and the militiamen were more or less frightened.
There is no other reason.
General Han Lin was killed and the street pavilion was breached.
The situation has completely turned towards the Han army.
In the palace, in the side hall.
Han Laocheng sat with general Panda and confidant Dou Rong.
Although it had been several days since the news of Han Lin's death came. But Han Laocheng's face still couldn't hide his sadness.
Instead of wearing royal robes, he wore plain clothes to mourn his nephew.
only. The dead are already dead.
People who are alive must find ways to continue living.
Han Laocheng composed himself and said: "The news from the Turks in the Western Regions has not yet come. But the Turks will definitely come to save the lonely king."
"The lonely king also sent people to Chu and Slav for help."
"As long as we hold on to Lanzhou City, we will definitely see a turn for the better."
"Yes." Panda and Dou Rong bowed in response, but their expressions were extremely complicated.
Can Lanzhou City still hold on to the current situation?
Soon after, Panda and Dou Rong got up and left. Han Laocheng stood up, walked to the door, looked in the direction of the street pavilion, and sighed: "Lin'er. It was me who hurt you."
Now that things have happened, Han Laocheng finally regrets it.
If he had known this earlier, he would not have had the troops to fight against the Han army.
Respectfully welcoming the Han army into Gansu, he was treated like a prince of the country, with glory and wealth, and was hereditary.
If Han Lin leads troops for Hanchen, his future will be bright.
only.
Unfortunately, there is no regret medicine in the world.
Han Laocheng's heart was bleeding.
