Chapter 414

As Li Yunzhao expected, Wei Ran was criticized by a series of dissatisfied ministers of the emperor at the court meeting.

Only a few staff members who were pushed into the middle of the court to expose the black materials of these ministers who dared to criticize themselves.

He has long had a group of troops similar to secret service agencies to collect intelligence from all aspects inside and outside the power. Therefore, as long as the ministers in the central court are not clean, there is no shortage of black materials in Wei Ran, which can be used as an excuse to get rid of these hidden dangers at any time.

At the court meeting, the other party was overwhelmed by Wei Ran's move, and then was immediately taken down and locked up in Dali temple for trial. Waiting for them, there was basically no good outcome, just to see if it would affect the family.

An understatement will blow the new emperor's power away. Wei Ran took advantage of the situation to accuse the emperor of making friends with sycophant ministers. He should shut his door and think about his mistakes. He ordered him to study quietly in his bedroom for a year and take part in state affairs only after he had a good breath.

The eunuchs around the emperor are Wei Ran's people. All his actions are clear. Wei Ran can abolish this suckling puppet at any time if he can give him today's status.

The result of such criticism at the court meeting naturally frightened the emperor and finally realized that the strength of his opponent was as different as that of himself.

After Wei Ran killed all the people he trusted around him, he finally started to shrink his head and make fun of himself in his bedroom all day. He was drunk and dreamed of death. He no longer dared to interfere with the government.

When the National Treasury has a surplus and the people live and work in peace and contentment. Huang Chao led the anti thief coalition, known as 650000 troops and horses, to attack several roads in three ways, and wulaoguan was surrounded.

Although the 10000 troops assigned by Wei Ran to defend the city are stable, they have also fallen into a bitter battle. At this time, even Wei Ran can't sit back and watch,

First, in the name of the son of heaven, he called on all localities to attack the army of Huangchao. At the same time, he ordered all troops and horses, and recruited Tubo Dangxiang soldiers and horses from Tuyuhun to enter Beijing to prepare for the battle.

In fact, his orders can be ignored by local dignitaries and local giants. However, there are five surnames and seven hopes to mediate, and the anti thief coalition is strong, and all the places they pass through are seriously damaged.

Therefore, local forces could not sit idly by. Led by Hedong Jiedu envoy and Huainan Jiedu envoy, they formed Qinwang troops and horses to attack Huangchao troops and horses from the north and south sides respectively.

After seven wars, they all lost! Soldiers and horses were forced to return to the division, so they had to sit and see how Wei Ran, who is privately known as the king of Guanzhong, responded.

Fortunately, although they failed in the battle, they succeeded in delaying the pace of the Yellow nest army, enabling Wei Yan to prepare his troops smoothly.

He left only 3000 elite soldiers in the Daming Palace in Chang'an and another 2000 cavalry outside the city, which was enough to suppress all the unrest in Gyeonggi. Then he led all his troops and horses to fight with 20000 Hu cavalry from the king Qin of Longyou. The number of soldiers was as high as 100000. If the garrison of Tongguan and wulaoguan were added, the force could reach more than 120000.

Many of the people of Gyeonggi and dujidao are refugees from Huainan, Shandong Province. They know that the anti thief damage is great, and they have shared land in Wei Ran's good governance, so that their children and old can be stable.

Therefore, even if there was no imperial edict, they all came from their families as civilian men to prepare logistics, repair bridges and pave roads for Fenglin army.

The big gentry are even more afraid of the destruction of the Yellow nest. Although Wei Ran is not liked by them, he can be more or less reasonable in his hands. In the hands of the anti thieves in the Yellow nest, there is only the class struggle in which you die and I die, and there is no mercy to say.

Therefore, they all took the initiative to contribute money to help Fenglin army fight. After all, the combat effectiveness of Fenglin army is famous all over the world. It has not failed at home and abroad. It has been tested many times. It is basically a replica of the Zuo Shence army in the past. Moreover, the left Shence army has long been annexed by the Fenglin army, which is naturally even more powerful.

The commander Wei Ran, the son of the late God of war Li Chengye, has done his best to pass it on personally. Some people evaluate that he is better than the blue.

Therefore, both the people and the gentry have great confidence in Wei Ran and Fenglin army.

At this time, Xingyang has been broken, and the martial prison cannot be held. Adhering to the strategic thinking of losing land and saving people, Wei Ran made the garrison retreat to Luoyang, the God capital with strong urban defense, and he has led the army out of the pass.

He built a camp in a dangerous place on the ancient Han Road, and then repeatedly delayed and harassed the Yellow nest army with Hu Qi, so that Li Guangsi led 30000 elite horseback infantry into Luoyang City.

Since then, Wei Ran's military stronghold and Luoyang have become horns with each other. He wants to fight a decisive battle with 600000 troops in Huangchao on this basin plain.

Although Huang Chao has a large number of troops, it lacks cavalry, and the soldiers are mostly refugees. They are withered, yellow and thin. They are soldiers with farm tools.

Only the core less than 100000 people are the elite of hundred battles who have been following Huang Chao.

Huang Chao's tactics are very simple. He intends to besiege the company camp in Luoyang and Wei Shao's dangerous place with a large number of people.

The number of hungry people at the bottom consumed Wei Ran's elite physical strength and morale, and finally attacked and destroyed by the elite of the headquarters.

Wei Ran's coping strategy was simpler. He stuck to the back with 30000 infantry, and then 50000 cavalry swam away. Relying on mobility and the guidance of hot-air balloons in the sky, we will not fall into the siege and ambush of a large number of enemy troops.

Then it was divided into dozens of thousands of cavalry troops and attacked in turns from morning to night. The anti thief army's morale, discipline and training, including physical equipment, are far inferior to Fenglin army's fine horseback.

This attack from morning to night directly disrupted the morale of a large number of cannon fodder troops in the periphery of the anti thief, especially at night, which successively triggered the camp roar of the enemy with night blindness.

If the number of enemy troops were not too large, Wei Ran worried that the attack at night would fall into chaos and lose mobility, so he only disturbed the periphery and did not really attack the camp.

Even so, in a few days, the thief army has been disturbed by it, with a large number of casualties and fleeing. The Fenglin army is attacked in batches, and the horses and soldiers can get a full rest. Therefore, the strength comparison between the two armies has been tilted.

After knowing the enemy's situation through the prisoners, Wei Ran ordered Luoyang and all the troops in the barracks to go out of the city and attack with both wings.

The thief army intended to surround, but under the attack for many days, the soldiers lost a lot of physical strength and energy, and their tactical execution ability was much worse, so they could not complete the tactical intention of Huang Chao at all.

When Huang Chao gathered elite to defeat the Luoyang garrison, Wei Ran's cavalry lurking around suddenly appeared and began to attack the enemy's cannon fodder troops from all parts of the battlefield.

In the face of the impact of these fierce cavalry from Longyou and the western regions, the peripheral cannon fodder collapsed and lost their organization one after another. On the battlefield, they were cut into more than a dozen pieces by Wei Ran's cavalry.

The 100000 elite of Huang Chao were threatened by the impact of the chaotic army and couldn't give full play to their own strength.

Huang Chao was almost angry to spit out a mouthful of blood when he saw his own troops pursued by Wei Ran.

There were only less than 5000 cavalry in his headquarters. He didn't dare to fight with such a large number of cavalry in front of Wei Ran. He had to give an order and sneak into the defeated army to escape.

However, most of the troops around him were infantry. They were chased by tens of thousands of cavalry in the wilderness, and there were few survivors.

Once a hundred thousand elite fell into defeat, they were driven and slaughtered like cannon fodder,

Less than 20000 soldiers and horses can escape with Huang Chao. However, he was a master of escape. He was chased all the way to Huainan by Wei Yan. Unexpectedly, he could escape by taking advantage of the complex Huaihe River system and hide and detour everywhere.

Wei Ran's headquarters are full of northerners. He is not good at water warfare, and there are no warships. He can only postpone the pursuit.

However, with Huang Chao's current military strength, the evils he has created in various places, and the local vassal towns that have gradually grown up in recent years, Wei Ran must have been unlucky, so he led the army back.

At this time, the news of Fenglin army's victory over Huangchao anti army has spread to the east of Chang'an River and other places. All armies all over the world know this victory and admire it.

Wei Ran has suddenly become famous in China, with high prestige, and Fenglin army has become the first army in the world. Vaguely, many people have regarded the Li family in Weizhou as the Guanlong gate valve of the next palm artifact.
