    ¡°The road for five or six miles seemed to have been splashed with blood, and the thick smell of blood made people unable to help but vomit.  Shattered corpses with broken limbs, large groups of crows pecking at them, and foxes and wolves that were biting like gluttons.  Even the little mice came to share a piece of the pie.

    Qu Tutong saw that it was such a scene.  A heart-stopping and heart-wrenching scene.

    "Less than 10% of the 6,000 people survived. The surviving soldiers said that it was Huyalang who attacked them." Song Laosheng, the general of Huyalang, looked at the corpses on the ground and reported to the coach beside him, Qu Tutong.

    "Beards? Where did so many beards come from outside Chang'an? How many people are there?" Qu Tutong has been fighting in the south and north in recent years. When Yang Guang decided to patrol the south of the Yangtze River last year, he was transferred to Chang'an to guard the situation.  Not as familiar as Song Laosheng.

    "Chang'an has always been the gateway for trade between the Western Regions and the Central Plains, so it is natural that there will be no shortage of beards. There should be 100,000 people, both old and young, but there are not that many who can fight. It is estimated that there are only 20,000 people." Song Laosheng  He is from Chang'an, and he knows the situation in Chang'an very well.

    "More than 20,000 people?" Qu Tutong took a breath of cold air. Chai Shao and Li Xiuning led two to three hundred people, which could be considered a guerrilla group at most.  But the sudden appearance of more than 20,000 beards is a serious problem.  According to Chang'an's existing military strength, it is necessary to guard against Huoyi in the north and Tongguan in the east. There is really no way to eat more than 20,000 beards at once.

    "Things are getting difficult to handle, what are you going to do, Marshal?" Looking at the corpses on the ground, Song Laosheng was also speechless.  There is no way, there are only so many soldiers on hand.  If you want to fight, you must have the courage to withdraw from Chang'an after losing.  But whoever dares to give up in Chang'an, even if he is not hacked to death, cannot escape the sword of Yang Guang who is far away in Jiangdu.

    "What else can we do? Let's stick to Chang'an! Fortunately, it's winter soon. We urgently recruit the remaining government soldiers and peasants to join the army. They will be trained to facilitate another fight!" Qu Tutong said helplessly.  After many recruitments, there are not many soldiers left in Guanzhong.  If we recruit again, I'm afraid farmers will be the main ones.  Compared with the combat power of the peasant soldiers and the soldiers of the government, it is simply a comparison in the sky and on the earth.  Without proper training, they may automatically collapse as soon as they enter the battlefield.

    Song Laosheng also sighed, there was nothing we could do about it.  The court far away in the south of the Yangtze River was not reliable. There were some small grievances between the brothers Yang You, the acting king who stayed in Chang'an, and Yang Tong, the Yue king who stayed in Luoyang.  Chang'an City now can be said to be isolated and helpless and can only rely on itself.

    Yunhao stood in the lobby of Hu County, smiling amiably at the visiting Pan Ren.  Anyone who sees a general who has won a battle will smile brighter than flowers!

    "Mr. Pan, oh, no, you should be called General Pan now. My young master has officially named you General Ying Yang. In the future, you will be a fifth-grade imperial military attache when we conquer Chang'an." The young master in Yunhao's mouth was not Li Yuanba but a female  Li Xiuning dressed as a man.

    Chai Shao and his men completed the task of luring the enemy, and then took a detour back to Shanxi with Li Yuanba.  This was the result of Li Xiuning's insistence. Hu County was too dangerous, and Li Xiuning didn't want both of them to die here.

    "Haha! Mr. Yun is ridiculous. 20,000 people beat him with 6,000 people. This is not a big deal. To be very powerful, Mr. Yun is the one who has the best strategy. Otherwise, how could Pan win such a big victory? Pan this time  Come, firstly to pay a visit to the young master, and secondly, I want to ask about this reward!" For merchants, it was obviously difficult to impress Pan Ren with the title of general.  What he wants is real benefits, who cares about a vain general title.

    "Rewards! The young master has already issued a decree to reward the entire army with one hundred sheep, five hundred dans of polished rice, and ten carts of wine. In addition, fifty carts of various poultry. To reward the soldiers for their bravery!"

    "That's all?" Pan Ren stared at Yunhao with wide eyes. After making sure that this guy was not trying to coax him, his eyes immediately became sharp.

    "Oh, now the young master is recruiting soldiers, so money is naturally a little tight. Once the money is loose, the young master will not forget the achievements of the soldiers." Yunhao held the table with his hand, still smiling.

    "Mr. Yun, you promised, the thirty-five thousand guan!"

    "I promised you that after you capture Chang'an Aocang, I will give you thirty-five thousand guan, but have you captured it now?" Yunhao was still smiling, like a fox that had eaten a fat chicken.

    "Uh!" Pan Ren was speechless. Yunhao did say he would give him 35,000 guan.  But that was to conquer Chang'an Aocang, but now they have only killed 6,000 Sui soldiers, and they didn't even touch the edge of Chang'an Aocang.  According to the agreement, Yunhao naturally does not have to pay.

    "Old Pan, don't be so worried about gains and losses. After you win a battle, the young master will also give you a general. In addition, there are rewards for the soldiers. You must be content!" Seeing Pan Ren speechless, Yunhao smiled even more.??If you go too far, you will be wiped out in minutes.

    "You!" The bearded man pulled out the knife halfway, but was stopped abruptly by Li Xiuning.

    "It turned out to be General Pan. The battle of Xiliu was a complete victory. It was all thanks to General Pan's brave fighting. I know it well. Let me introduce to you. This is my uncle Li Shentong. Father, I am afraid that I will be punished here.  I feel aggrieved, so I specially sent my uncle to lead fifteen thousand elites to protect me." After speaking, Li Xiuning bowed deeply to Li Shentong!

    "Uh!" This time it was Pan Ren's turn to be at a loss. What he relied on just now was the absolute numerical advantage.  But now, this advantage has almost disappeared.  In an instant, the offense and defense were different.

    Yun Hao smiled even more mischievously. Just now he was talking about him in order to delay the arrival of Li Xiuning and Li Shentong.  Although he knew that Li Shentong was not sent by Li Yuan.  Instead, they have been operating around Chang'an for many years, and this time they just took advantage of the opportunity to cause trouble.

    But Yunhao would not say this to Pan Ren even if he was beaten to death. Whoever talks is the stick.  What we have to do now is to continue to lie. Just using crutches is not enough. A wheelchair is waving to poor Pan Ren.

    "In a few days, my father will lead the army west to Chang'an. At that time, General Pan will be rewarded based on his merit. I hope that during this period, General Pan will always train his subordinates and be ready to respond to my father at any time." Li Xiuning looked at his face.  Pan Ren, who was hesitant, said with a smile.

    The news that Li Yuan was going west to Chang'an was a bolt from the blue for Pan Ren.  That means Li Yuan will become the master of Guanzhong.  So was the bet right or wrong this time?  Thinking about his arrogant attitude just now, Pan Ren wanted to slap himself twice.

    "General Pan, you haven't thanked me for the reward! Don't you think you don't want to be my lord's minister?" Yunhao said calmly next to him.

    Yunhao saw every subtle change in Pan Ren's expression.  Now he knew that this guy's psychological defense had begun to collapse.  If we don't give him a solid start now, he will be even more difficult to control in the future.

    "Pan Ren thanks you for your great kindness. From now on, you will repay your kindness on the battlefield with bloody battles!" The expression on Pan Ren's face changed drastically, and finally he knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Li Xiuning respectfully.

    "Get up, General Pan is a man of merit, why do you need to do this great gift." Li Xiuning pretended to support him, and there was only one word in his words and actions - hypocrisy.

    Yunhao doesn¡¯t care about hypocrisy or not, as long as it¡¯s easy to use.  Now that Pan Ren is a coward, many things will be much easier to handle.  At least, the thirty-five thousand guan can be saved steadily.

    "General Pan will stay for a while to have a meal, first to wash off my uncle's dust, and secondly to celebrate General Pan." Li Xiuning said with a smile when Pan Ren stood up.

    "Master Qi, the soldiers brought by my subordinates usually lack control. Moreover, they don't understand the language. I'm afraid they will cause trouble in Hu County. It would be bad if there is a conflict with General Li's men. I still bring them with them.  Follow them back to Huzhuang. It won¡¯t be too late to drink the young master¡¯s wine when the lord enters Chang¡¯an.¡±

    Pan Ren doesn¡¯t want to stay for even a second now. His intuition tells him that Hu County is in danger now.  With Li Shentong bringing more than ten thousand people, his status has been greatly reduced, and the confidence he had just now is gone.

    "In that case, it's up to the general. Just remember this wine for the time being and wait for the day in Chang'an City. We must drink three liters!" Li Xiuning looked at Pan Ren, his words full of heroism.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
