In the capital, Long Zhaohuan's court discussed affairs in front of the court, Sun Chengzhong, the confidant adviser, Zhan Han, the crown prince, and Su Xinghai, the left-behind prime minister.

Long Zhaohuan said: "This time, the decree of Your Descendation, let the Yuzhou Governor go to Jiangnan to serve as the Grand Governor of the Southern Prefecture Army. The Yuzhou Army has no leader, and the capital is empty and urgently needs to be dispatched to defend. What do you think about the Yuzhou Army's adjustment and defense? "

Sun Chengzhong said: "Your Highness, there is no doubt about this matter. The Yuzhou army must obey the prince's orders. Fortunately, the governor of Yuzhou, Su Zhi, is the nephew of Su Prime Minister, only needs the prime minister to compile a letter, and this matter will definitely be safe!

In the Danwan Land of Yuzhou, 60,000 troops stationed in such a small area is too crowded. The gates of the capital are open to them. What a great thing is this for the Yuzhou army to enter Beijing?"

Su Xinghai smiled and said, "Mr. Sun, if you said this two days ago, your Majesty's order cannot be delayed for a moment! Military orders are like mountains. After receiving the imperial edict, Su Zhi immediately rushed straight to Jiangnan without taking off her armor. When the Su family received the news, he was already halfway!

At this moment, you asked me to contact Su Zhi and let the Yuzhou army enter Beijing, which was more than half a beat slower!"

Sun Chengzhong frowned, and Long Zhaohuan suddenly stood up and said, "Come on, we'll reorganize the army! This palace is going to inspect Yuzhou in person!"

Zhan Han said: "Your Highness, you have prepared as you ordered! Ten thousand cavalrymen arrive directly to Yuzhou. Your Highness, you are personally leading him. Are you afraid that the Yuzhou army will not open the door to greet you when you arrive outside the Yuzhou city?"

Long Zhaohuan laughed and said, "Okay, Su Xiang and Chengzhong are responsible for guarding the capital. You accompany me to Yuzhou. Without further ado, we will immediately launch troops!"

Long Zhaohuan did not neglect at all and quickly led a 10,000 army straight to Yuzhou. At this moment, the 60,000 troops in Yuzhou were really important to him. If he could capture these tens of thousands of troops, not only could the capital be defended, but he could also take advantage of the situation to completely capture the two rivers.

In this era, the strong are respected, and whoever has the strength is the king! Long Zhaohuan has no soldiers in his hands, so his influence can only be around the capital. After leaving the capital, no one else will listen to his orders. The tax he can collect is very small, so small that he has no way to expand his army, and it is only enough for the existing troops to fill his stomach.

Therefore, whether the Yuzhou army can be captured is related to his life and death. If the Yuzhou army can be brought back, he will annex the two rivers and the territory in his hand will be wider. With territory and army in his hand, Long Zhaohuan can attack Longyou to the west, threaten Shandong to the east, and contact Liaodong to the north. He monopolizes the strategic location of the capital, which can be said to have taken the initiative.

Long Zhaohuan sent troops, and the strategists and generals around him supported him almost one-sidedly, and he was also full of confidence. He firmly believed that the Yuzhou Army had no commander and that he would run to Yuzhou as the prince, and that he would definitely win over other Yuzhou Army generals. As long as they returned, Long Zhaohuan would give them a heavy reward.

The army set out from the capital and three days later resisted the city of Yuzhou. When he arrived at the city of Yuzhou, Long Zhaohuan ordered Zhan Han to call the door. Zhan Han stood at the city and shouted:

"The prince is also visiting Yuzhou to inspect the disaster in the two rivers. Why don't the Yuzhou army quickly shutter the door to greet the prince?"

The soldiers on the city looked silly, and one of the captains replied: "I'm sorry, we blocked the Yuzhou city gate in the name of the imperial envoy. No one can enter. You are going to rescue the disaster. The entire two rivers are full of hunger. There are no disaster victims in Yuzhou, so there are no need for you to visit!"

When Zhan Han heard this, he immediately reported to Long Zhaohuan. Long Zhaohuan was furious and said, "It's really outrageous. When did there be another imperial envoy? Why did the imperial envoy come?"

Zhan Han said: "It must be Su Zhi who went to Jiangnan. The court sent an imperial envoy to Yuzhou to appease and direct disaster relief. Let's ask again, and we will definitely be able to find out the whole story."

"The court, where did the imperial court come from?" Long Zhaohuan was furious and said, "This palace is the imperial court. This palace guards the capital instead of the emperor's supervision. This palace has not sent an imperial envoy, so where did the imperial envoy come from? I think it is a fake imperial envoy!"

When Long Zhaohuan scolded, his general Zuo Qianlong stepped forward and shouted: "Your Highness, it seems that this imperial envoy is also a newcomer, and may not necessarily have control over the situation. At this moment, we should not hesitate and act immediately!"

"What we see in the end, Yuzhou's city defense is nothing but Er'er. If we attack suddenly, we will definitely be able to open a hole. As long as we rush in, the Yuzhou army will inevitably be in chaos. At that time, we will capture the imperial envoy and let it win the hearts of the people, and Yuzhou will be in the hands of Your Highness." Zuo Qianlong said loudly.

Long Zhaohuan's face changed, and Zhan Han said, "Your Highness, it's absolutely inappropriate at this time. There are 60,000 troops and horses in Yuzhou, and we only have 10,000 troops. This kind of confrontation is not the same level at all. If you fail, you may be doomed!"

Zuo Qianlong sneered: "Mr. Zhan, we were surprised and intentionally opposed to unintentional. We hit the attack and caught the opponent off guard. In the small land of Yuzhou, 60,000 troops could not be used at all. We waited for ten thousand elite soldiers to enter, and we should be as sharp as a sharp sword. How can the enemy stop it?"

Zuo Qianlong was passionate, and finally, he straightened his chest and said, "Your Highness, General Mo is willing to lead three thousand troops to attack the East Gate. If he fails, General Mo is willing to engage in military law!"

Zuo Qianlong paused and said, "Your Highness, the chaos has arisen in the world today. At this moment, it should be a place for heroes to use their skills! If Your Highness makes a quick decision, we will attack immediately. If you win, the two rivers will be determined! How can you miss this opportunity?"

Long Zhaohuan was so excited by Zuo Qianlong's words that he immediately pulled out the sword on his waist and shouted: "Okay, General Zuo is so confident, I will order you as the vanguard and lead 5,000 troops to attack the East Gate. It's getting late today. So I'd just send troops tomorrow morning and unexpectedly take down the East Gate in an instant, and then we will do our best to take down Yuzhou!"

Long Zhaohuan made a quick decision to launch troops, but the surrounding strategists could not stop them. Zhan Han also tried hard to persuade Wuxu, but just sighed from the side.

There was nothing to say all night. The next morning, Zuo Qianlong sent troops to beat drums to attack the city before dawn. This time, Zuo Qianlong came from the capital and had made sufficient preparations. The siege cars, ladders, rolling stones, etc. were all prepared.

With his order, five thousand people all dispatched to attack the east gate of Yuzhou. Because it was not dawn, the defenders at the city gate had not yet come to their senses, and the soldiers who were sieging the city boarded the city gate. After a good fight, the east gate was actually broken!

When Zuo Qianlongyan saw the east gate breaking, he was overjoyed and immediately sent a message to Long Zhaohuan.

Long Zhaohuan stood opposite and saw the fire raising on the city wall. He was overjoyed and shouted: "It's broken, the city is broken!" Long Zhaohuan immediately pulled out his sword and said angrily: "Listen to my general, the whole army attacks, rush to Yuzhou, kill..."

The sound of killing shook the sky. Long Zhaohuan led his army to the city. Suddenly, he heard the sound of a trumpet behind him. He immediately turned around and saw a team of cavalry holding battle flags in the sky behind him, sweeping over like wind and storming clouds. The sound of horse hooves stirred up dust in the sky.

Long Zhaohuan was shocked and knew that something was wrong. At this time, an arrow suddenly shot down like rain on the city wall. The capital army that had just attacked the city was actually killed. Then the east gate opened wide, and a group of people rushed out of the city gate. The leader described it as a majestic and imposing. Who is this person not Cao Xuanhua, the left general of the Yuzhou Army?

Cao Xuanhua went to fight without saying a word, and he rushed towards Long Zhaohuan with the cavalry behind him. Long Zhaohuan saw this scene, and he was so brave that he could fight. He immediately roared desperately and said, "Retreat, retreat, retreat, retreat! Retreat!"

After Long Zhaohuan said that, he drove away and left. As soon as the commander left, he was defeated and fell down. Where did the rest of the general have the intention to fight again? For a moment, the capital army with tens of thousands of people was like ducks being raised, everywhere. The Yuzhou army came from behind and chased after hundreds of miles.

Long Zhaohuan escaped from the escorts of the left and right guards for a hundred miles before he could barely hold back the reins. At this time, he looked around and found that there were only more than a hundred cavalry left on the left and right.

Seeing this, Long Zhaohuan was so angry that his eyes turned black and almost fell off his horse. He pulled out his sword and was about to wipe his neck and commit suicide. The prince Zhan Han shouted loudly: "Your Highness, you must not be unwilling to think about it. The so-called "staying green mountains is not to worry about no firewood. This wave is temporarily defeated. We will retreat to the capital first and slowly plan it, and we will eventually make a comeback!"

Long Zhaohuan cried bitterly and said, "Ten thousand elite soldiers, this is almost the most elite army that the capital can call. These ten thousand people are ruined for nothing. How can the capital defend it? Is it really necessary to let the people climb to the top of the city to defend the city?"

"Let's check, who is the sacred person from Jiangnan? He is so sinister and cunning, and deliberately leads him into a trap. Such an imperial person is simply a traitor, a traitor!" Long Zhaohuan said loudly.

"Your Highness, let me discuss it later. Now your Highness will be more important to return to the capital first! I will leave behind the remaining soldiers here, and this situation should be able to be even more than a hundred. Even if it can be one or two hundred, it will be a great blessing for my capital!" Zhan Han said.

Long Zhaohuan jumped off his horse, walked to Zhan Han, grabbed his hand and said, "Long Zhaohuan was ashamed to not listen to your words. He still had such a defeat. I really regret it at this moment!"

Zhan Han said: "Your Highness, your highness will be gone quickly. We and Your Highness will be prosperous and we will be both prosperous and we will be both rich and we will be in danger of losing our hearts. This is not the time to be polite..."

Long Zhaohuan got on his horse and ran away again, fled straight back to the capital. Zhan Han gathered the remaining soldiers behind him, and eventually got more than 2,000 remaining soldiers. This time, Long Zhaohuan lost 8,000 sharp soldiers. It can be said that he suffered heavy losses and was terrible!

After returning to the capital, Long Zhaohuan received the news that according to the news that Jiangnan had returned, the Jiangnan court sent Cao Weihua as the imperial envoy of the two rivers to inspect the two rivers and be responsible for disaster relief. After Cao Weihua arrived in the two rivers, the first thing he did was to return to the Yuzhou army and seize the Yuzhou army.
