Chapter 179： Imperial mediation

After two days of rest, the weather had cleared up, and Wu Jun gathered under the city of Guangde.

The attack on Guangde didn't waste any effort, because Fang Guoan had already withdrawn to Huzhou with his main force. The remaining miscellaneous cards surrendered after a while symbolically resisted.

Fang Guoan was not stupid enough to fight with Wu Jun in such a small county and run away if he couldn't fight. He couldn't afford it.

Even if you want to fight, you have to go to Huzhou, where the city walls are taller and stronger, and there are some elite defenders in Huzhou, so there will be no shortage of troops in the defense of Huzhou.

Fang Guoan's escape without a fight made Liu Hansan very helpless. He wanted to gradually consume Fang Guoan's troops here, but Fang Guoan didn't give him a chance.

In this way, the difficulty for him to attack Huzhou will increase by a few points, because the enemy has gathered nearly 20,000 veterans in Huzhou, plus some temporary conscripts, and the number of people defending the city may be as high as 30,000.

And Liu Hansan's current total offensive force is only 18,000, and there are not as many soldiers defending the city. This is a big problem.

However, even if his troops are at a disadvantage, he is still preparing to march towards Huzhou.

Playing more with less is already Wu Jun's tradition. Everyone doesn't think this is a big disadvantage. It's just such self-confidence.

Compared with the lack of troops, logistics is their big problem.

They don’t have much food left, and they need to wait for the delivery from Xuancheng and purchase them from the surrounding areas.

Thanks to this is a grain-producing area in the south of the Yangtze River, the grain is relatively abundant, and it is relatively easy to purchase. If it is in the north or other mountainous areas, money can't buy it.

In many wars, the outcome of a war is often determined by logistics. In places with underdeveloped transportation, there are often more people in charge of transporting food than soldiers in combat.

Just like Zhuge Liang came out of Qishan, almost every failure was due to food problems. He had already hit Changan Luoyang with food.

Soldiers have no food to eat, no matter how strong their combat effectiveness is, they are all in vain.

In order to raise grain and grass, Liu Hansan stayed in Guangde for several days, only to collect enough grain for the army for half a month and wait for a batch of gunpowder.

Afterwards, Wu Jun set off for Huzhou, this section of the road still has no official roads, only various small roads.

This road was another difficult march, because they had been attacked before, this time they marched more cautiously and couldn't get up fast.

In just one hundred miles, they just walked for five days before arriving in Huzhou.

Before the siege could begin, a messenger from the imperial court came to Wu Jun's camp.

After the Lu court learned that Wu Jun and Fang Guoan were fighting, it was a shock.

This is simply ignoring the court and intending to rebel.

If this were to be placed in the peaceful and prosperous world of great unification, it would be a crime of treason, which would punish the nine races.

But now, the Lu court can only swallow its anger.

They wanted to convict Liu Hansan and Wu Changqing. However, without the strength to crush Wu Jun, convicting Wu Jun was a joke, and Wu Jun would definitely not talk to them.

At that time, the conviction will not be able to execute, but will allow more people to see their imperial court's weakness and incompetence, and at the same time it is tantamount to tearing Wu Changqing.

Therefore, even if they hated Wu Changqing and Liu Hansan half-deadly in their hearts, they couldn't get rid of their skins. Instead, they wanted to promote Liu Hansan and reward Liu Hansan in order to appease Liu Hansan and let him stop.

This is basically the basic operation when the imperial court is weak. Just like Zuo Liangyu led the army eastward and threatened to clear the side of the emperor, the Hongguang imperial court wanted to thwart Zuo Liangyu's bones and burn ashes, but on the surface it still had to give Zuo Liangyu a plus Guan Jinjue, then used the imperial decree to tell Zuo Liangyu that our side is very good, no problem, there is no need to clear the side, you should go back wherever you go.

The tone used is almost like begging each other.

Today, the Lu dynasty did the same.

An imperial decree was issued to Liu Hansan, and he was named the captain of the light car, and then let him die and stop attacking Huzhou. As for Guangde Xuancheng and other places, the imperial court acquiesced in his occupation.

Such a humble court was only in this period.

"General Liu, the court is aware of the misunderstanding between you and Fang Guogong, and your majesty has reprimanded Fang Guogong. Now that all of Li Chengdong's subordinates have been subordinated to you, this matter will stop here."

The messenger Wang Lifu used a persuasive tone, but did not say that the court ordered him to withdraw his troops. It's useless to come hard with these big-headed soldiers, so I can only persuade them.

Liu Hansan didn't look good when he heard this, and he was a bit difficult to handle the imperial decree of the court.

After all, Wu Changqing has not formally rebelled yet, and he cannot ignore this imperial decree.

He had originally wanted to take Huzhou before the court did not react. When the time came, he could rely on it and not leave.

Who knew that there would be so many twists and turns on the road and too much time wasted.

The Lu dynasty's response was also very quick, and the imperial decree was promptly mediated.

"Huh, misunderstanding? His Fang Guoan was ambushing us on the road a few days ago, trying to put us to death. Unless the court cuts his Duke, we will destroy him."

Liu Hansan's subordinates yelled that they were lucky enough to have arrived in Huzhou. If they withdrew because of an imperial decree, wouldn't it be a trip for nothing.

"This is not because of a misunderstanding between the two sides. Now that Mr. Fang has asked me to speak, he has no intention of starting a war with you, and is even willing to compensate you for some of the losses."

Wang Lifu said helplessly, in the face of such a group of rascals, he still couldn't break it.

Obviously it was Wu Jun's first move, but now they look like they have suffered a loss. This kind of face made Wang Lifu feel sick, but he couldn't show it.

"What's the compensation?"

Liu Han asked three times.

Originally, he had planned to retreat, but now that he heard that there was still a benefit, he naturally refused to come.

"Grass, silver, and beauties, this is all easy to discuss. At present, when everyone is an official in the same dynasty, it is still important to resist the Qing. Don't hurt your peace."

Seeing Liu Hansan's mouth relieved, Wang Lifu felt relieved a lot.

Although he didn't know what to do with the relationship between the two parties in the future, as long as he couldn't fight it right now. I'll talk about the future.

Now the two courts of Nanming have a bit of a passing mind. They want to regain their glory, but they have more than enough energy and can only watch the situation continue to deteriorate.

"In that case, we will first draw up a batch of lists, and then the envoy of the king will forward it on their behalf."

Liu Hansan said that anyway, Wu Changqing explained to them that they acted by chance, even if they didn't win Huzhou, it didn't matter. Being able to take the opportunity to blackmail Fang Guoan severely is also a good deal.

If Fang Guoan doesn’t agree, it’s better to use it as an excuse to throw the blame on Fang Guo’an for refusing to negotiate, and then go to war.
