Joy of Life: I am a Han Dynasty succubus, and I rebel from the beginning

Fatty Lu originally thought that there was no need for the emperor to lead the army in person, and he could just let Han Xin take over.

Seeing Liu Hong in a daze, he suddenly understood.

Li Chengru has always been the person closest to Liu Hong in the entire Qing Kingdom. Unfortunately, people with different ideals cannot work together, and Li Chengru is destined not to follow Liu Hong.

"For this battle, bring all the old brothers from Danzhou's water bandits that you can bring. Gather Xiao Zhan, Fan Dadan, Shang Shanhu, Yan Xiaoyi and others."

"Han Xin is in charge of the overall planning. He must trap Li Chengru to death in Suzhou City, otherwise he will not be able to maintain his title as the King of Zhao."

Liu Hong collected his thoughts and spoke in a cold voice.

This is the configuration for attacking Emperor Qing.

Out of respect for Li Chengru, Liu Hong will do his best.

In Suzhou City, the temporary imperial palace of Qing Kingdom, many generals looked at Li Chengru in a trance and disbelief.

They actually broke through the defense lines of the defenders in the major cities and recaptured the temporary capital of Qing State.

All this depends on the eldest prince Li Chengru.

Li Chengru gently stroked the dragon throne with his calloused hands.

This is his father's throne. No matter how well Li Chengru performs, the throne will never be given to him.

It is impossible to say that there is no resentment in my heart!
Because both Emperor Qing and Li Chengru knew that as long as the eldest prince became the crown prince, Li Chengqian and Li Chengze would support him without any objection.

The ministers in the court would also raise their hands to express their approval of this wise prince.

But Emperor Qing would never give the throne to Li Chengru because half of Li Chengru has the blood of Dongyi City flowing in his body.

To Emperor Qing, he was an outlier and was not worthy of becoming the next emperor of Qing.

Li Chengru was silent for a long time and then sighed.

"Let's go! Distribute the Han army's logistics and food to the people of Suzhou City as usual, and bring enough food for three days."

Cavalry will always be fast and free, without any restraint. This is the law that ensures cavalry's victory.

Several generals nodded and glanced at the throne with some reluctance.

"Your Highness, are you sure you don't want to sit on the throne, ascend the throne and let the Qing Kingdom continue?"

When Li Chengru heard these words, he smiled freely.

"Qing Kingdom has perished, and the Han Dynasty has also unified China! All I did was just because I was unwilling to accept the fate of the country. There is no need to raise the flag of Qing Kingdom again."

Since Emperor Qing never intended to hand over the throne to him, Li Chengru would not go against Emperor Qing's opinion and rashly ascend the throne.

The scout cavalry came running in panic.

"Your Highness, something terrible has happened! The Emperor has personally led a hundred thousand men to attack Suzhou City."

"The important places in Suzhou City have also been sealed off. We can't escape."

Jiangnan is a land of fish and rice, with a dense network of rivers, and there are very few roads that can accommodate cavalry.

Under Han Xin's command, they guarded several plains and basically locked Li Chengru in Suzhou City.

As for abandoning the war horses, that would be courting death. Without their war horses, the cavalry's combat capability would not be able to defeat an equal infantry corps.

Li Chengru frowned and took a deep breath.

"In that case, everyone, prepare to die!"

"I still say the same thing. Whoever wants to leave can go directly. There is no need to accompany me in this battle that will lead to certain death."

This group of generals immediately became dissatisfied.

"Your Highness, there is indeed nothing in Qing Country that is worth our nostalgia, but you are our lord. How can it be reasonable for the lord to die in battle while the subjects live in shame?"

Li Chengru's eyes became moist and he nodded heavily.

The harmonious atmosphere between the monarch and his subjects did not last long. The heavy and orderly footsteps struck everyone's heart.

Liu Honggao sat on his warhorse, gazing at the city of Suzhou with a dim gaze.

Fatty Lu looked at the cavalry on the city wall with gnashing teeth. He was living well in Suzhou City, sleeping with several beautiful ladies in Emperor Qing's harem every day and was very happy.

As a result, he was driven out of Suzhou City by Li Chengru like a stray dog.

"Let's issue a challenge."

Liu Hong raised his finger slightly, and the messenger rushed to the foot of Suzhou City. The sharp sound of arrows rang out, and the declaration of war was brought down to the top of Suzhou City.

Uesugi Tora led his 10,000 cavalrymen, and Yan Xiaoyi led 10,000 archers, all sharpening their swords, eager to try, ready to atone for their sins.

They easily sent Li Chengru to Jiangnan.

Emperor Gao not only did not blame them, but allowed them to lead the troops again to wash away the shame.

Even with their personalities, they couldn't help but feel the urge to die for their friend.

Li Chengru took the letter of war handed over by the soldiers.

"Li Chengru wrote to me personally. The Qing Kingdom has been destroyed. Why bother to fight anymore? If you raise your army and surrender, you can choose any official position below the second rank in the Han Dynasty. You can also be granted the title of a king."

"If you insist on being stubborn, then we can only fight!"

The handwriting on the declaration of war seemed to be written by Liu Hong himself.

As an emperor who unified the world, being able to do this is already a great act of loving talent.

Li Chengru just smiled faintly and burned the letter without hesitation.

"Then let's fight!"

"Your Highness, do you want to defend the city?"

The generals under him asked, and were frightened to see Liu Hong personally leading an army of 100,000 men. A famous general in the world leading an army alone.

Even the Grand Master Emperor Qing, Fan Xian couldn't stop Emperor Gao.

Can this group of people stop them?
Besides, Liu Hong is now the undisputed, strongest and only grandmaster in the world.

If Liu Hong is really pissed off and takes direct action, I'm afraid this group of people will die in Suzhou City.

These generals were not afraid of death, but they felt aggrieved just thinking about being slapped to death so easily.

"There is only three days' worth of food in the city. What's the point of defending the city? If we kill the war horses to defend the city, I'm afraid there will be no room for resistance."

Li Chengru sighed softly.

Some people thought it would be better to collect the food distributed to the people, so that they could survive for a few more months.
But this person still didn't dare to say it out loud.

Given Li Chengru's temperament, knowing that this was a losing war, he was unwilling to even force the civilians to defend the city, so how could he be willing to take away the rations distributed to the people?

Li Chengru looked at Liu Hong below with a firm gaze and spoke in a decisive tone.

"Let the soldiers have enough food and water, and add a few more eggs to the horses' fodder. This is our last battle, there is no need to save any more."

"Yes, Your Highness!"

The generals obeyed the order and were eager to fight.

As the food was distributed, many soldiers in Li Chengru's army laughed out loud.

It seems that he is not intimidated by the mighty force of 100,000 troops outside the city.

Fatty Lu's heart skipped a beat.

"Your Majesty, I feel like something is not right. How about we draw out our elite Han troops?"

According to common sense, when faced with a war that is bound to be lost, almost everyone, from officers to soldiers, will lose morale and want to escape.

And now, there are some signs of death warriors in Li Chengru's army.

With 20,000 cavalry soldiers charging, Fatty Lu felt that it was a bit unsafe to have 200,000, let alone 100,000 or even 200,000.

Liu Hong also frowned slightly.

"late!"

Although Liu Hong led the army in person this time, he still planned to deplete the national strength of Northern Qi.

The elite Han army only brought 5,000 imperial guards, who could barely protect the center of the army. As for the flanks, it all depends on fate!

As for attacking the city now, if Li Chengru sends a cavalry force on the flank to launch a surprise attack, the entire army of 100,000 will be destroyed.

Liu Hong pondered for a long time and signaled the messenger to wave the command flag.

Let Shangshan Hu lead his 10,000 cavalry to stop Li Chengru, Yan Xiaoyi's 10,000 archers to establish a commanding height to aim, and Xiao Zhan to stabilize the central army. (End of this chapter)
