Chapter 425: The Enemy at the Gate
The icy rain in early spring stopped, and the Han army set out. When they arrived in Guizhou, it was the Lantern Festival. After everyone ate "Floating Yuanzi" made of glutinous rice, the New Year's Festival was over.
Guizhou City was surrounded by mountains and forests on all sides. So Zhu Gaoxu ordered that part of his troops be hidden in the mountains and forests to make it unclear to the enemy how many troops he had besieging the city. Then he mobilized the left and right armies to march eastward in a big way to get closer to Liu Ying's troops.
After the deployment was completed, only the generals of the King of Han’s central army knew that Liu Ying’s troops would have a strength of more than 40,000 people, while the number of troops around Guizhou City would be as high as more than 80,000.
...It was only the third day after the army arrived at Guizhou City, but the siege works on all sides had already taken shape.

"Why don't men take Wu Gou and conquer fifty states in Guanshan? Please go to Lingyan Pavilion for a while, how about a scholar who is a marquis?"A burst of poetry reciting filled with some kind of strong emotion came from the hillside, just like reciting with gnashing teeth. Wu Gao, Marquis of Jiangyin, climbed up the hillside following the sound, and indeed saw Geng Hao, the grandson of Geng Bingwen, Marquis of Changxing.Now Geng Hao is Wu Gao's son-in-law and married to Wu Gao's daughter, who is nearly thirty years old but has the same mind as a three-year-old child.

A large hillside at the entrance of the valley had been chopped down with trees. Standing here, Liu Ying had a wide view. In the vast white fog, many black figures in the enemy's formation were moving eastward.Liu Ying watched for a while, looked back, and sighed with some disappointment, "Marquis Jiangyin is indeed very calm. If he comes into the valley, there will be good fruits for him to eat!"As soon as these words came out, several guard commanders immediately looked at Liu Ying with strange eyes. But those generals did not say anything more and just kept silent.The generals in the army knew the inside story. Liu Ying did not have many ambushes in the mountains and forests on both sides.

In the late first month of the first year of Hongxi, several batches of grain transported from the Guangxi Provincial Administration and the Jiaozhi Provincial Administration finally arrived at the warehouse on the north bank of Yuanjiang River.Zhang Fu sent people to clean up the registration and estimated that it would be enough to supply 100,000 people and horses for more than 20 days. Although it still did not meet his previous request for one month's military rations, Zhang Fu believed that it was enough for him to advance to Kunming City.This place is about 600 miles away from Kunming City. If the army does not stop, it will reach the city of Kunming in another half a month!Zhang Fu set out from Thang Long City and was still in Yuanjiang two months later.

In the early morning, the east was already getting light, but the sun had not yet risen. The light was dim, and everything seemed to be still drowsy, so it was not very clear.On the mountain road of Pingyi County (north of Fuyuan County, Qujing City), the sound of horse hooves came from far away. Suddenly, a group of government soldiers appeared from the woods beside the road and blocked the middle of the road. A general shouted at the two horses rushing towards him, "Whose troops are you?"No one answered. In the dim light, the two riders reined in their horses. The horses neighed and continued to rush forward, but gradually slowed down; one of the riders even made a "whoosh" sound.The general who was blocking the road shouted again, "Who is it, superior? Talk to me!" The soldiers around him immediately raised their bows and arrows.The two riders still said nothing and turned their horses around. A moment later, there were several "bang bang bang"

The officers and soldiers failed to put out the fire, causing the fire to become bigger and bigger."Bang, bang, bang..." A burst of big stones fell on the city wall like huge hailstones, breaking bricks and stones and splashing soil and rocks.
