After traveling through time, I became Han Zhang’s grandson?

Speaking of Mo Zang Xiling, as a fierce general from the Mo Zang tribe, he is often compared with another famous general of the same tribe, Mo Zang Siyu.

Although these two people were both talented people in both literature and martial arts within the Dangxiang tribe, they had different tendencies, one was more literary and the other more martial.

As two trusted nephews of Mo Zang Epang, they once assisted the yet-to-be-prospered Mo Zang Epang to gradually gain power and reach the pinnacle of power in the post-Yuanhao era.

Later, under the joint siege of the Xizhou Uighurs and the Qingtang Zuosiluo, these two people fought against the enemy respectively, and since then they have earned the titles of "wise general" and "strong general".

It also allowed Mo Zang Epang to completely seize power in Western Xia after Li Yuanhao's death, and he became a powerful traitor.

Speaking of Mo Zang Epang, the prime minister and brother-in-law who held power in Western Xia for more than ten years, his history of making a fortune was not so clean. He relied on his sister Mo Zang to achieve what he has today.

However, the good days of this dictatorship lasted only more than ten years. With the growth of the young ruler of Western Xia, the relationship between Mo Zang Epang and Li Liangzuo took a sharp turn for the worse and fell into a desperate situation that could never be eased.

For this reason, Mo Zang Epang transferred his two loyal nephews back to guard the area closest to Xingqing Prefecture and the most important area.

One is in charge of Xiping Prefecture and controls the capital area, and the other is in charge of Jingsai Military Command, which is considered to be the most elite military command of Western Xia.

But before they could enjoy this good time for a few days, a very young manager came to the neighboring company, Dasong Shaanxi Road.

At first, no one took this change seriously. After all, there were many officials in the Song Dynasty, and one person today might be replaced by another tomorrow.

As long as the person is not a famous minister who saves the world or a capable general, Xixia will basically not take him seriously.

Until this little bastard didn't know what was good for him and actually started to carry out military reforms.

That’s not all. Even some of the Song Dynasty’s territories that the Western Xia had secretly occupied were taken back without hesitation.

This kind of thing cannot be tolerated. This kid must be beaten in order to establish his prestige and let the restless royalists in the country see whether he is as capable as the Li family in governing the country and military and national affairs!

In addition, he had the assistance of Lao Deng and Zhang Yuan, who were left over from the previous emperor's era. Mei Zang Epang really didn't think that he could lose to that bastard on the opposite side who hadn't even grown all his hair.

However, the reality of the fierce struggle slapped him hard in the face at the beginning of the war. The Song-Xia border forts and prefectures were basically suppressed and attacked by the other side.

Even his nephew Mo Zang Siyu, whom he was proud of, died in the sad place of Tuotuokou.

However, things often rebound when they are most desperate.

Another good nephew of his family, Mo Zang Xiling, joined Lao Deng Zhang Yuan and staged a big reversal of the story of surviving from a desperate situation and rebounding from the bottom.

First, they defeated the Song Dynasty cavalry led by Han Ming in a battle in Lingzhouchuan, and then pursued them for thousands of miles, all the way deep into the Song Dynasty, as if they were in an empty land.

In Mo Zang Epang's place, these two people are like a combination of Han Xin and Zhang Liang, invincible!

This is indeed the case. As the second battle of Haoshuichuan progressed, the combination of Zhang Yuan and Mo Zang Xiling once again faced Han Ming, who seemed to be the only main general in the open.

At the foot of a mountain in Liupan Mountain, this is where the main force of Western Xia led by Zhang Yuan hid. It was also the place where the mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind.

In the central military tent, Zhang Yuan stroked the military map in front of him, constantly wondering whether there would be any changes to his plan.

As a result, the next second, the messenger outside brought bad news.

"Zhong'an Fort encountered reinforcements from the Song court?!"

Zhang Yuan was shocked and looked at the location carefully on the map.

It turned out that this was a message sent by Mo Zang Xiling, who had retreated after fighting with the Yao brothers.

At this moment, Mo Zang Xiling was stationed in a mountain range in the south of Liupan Mountain. This mountain was Jitou Mountain, located in the northeast of Longgan City.

"The Song court's reinforcements arrived so quickly. It seems Mei Zang Xiling is also in trouble, otherwise he wouldn't have written so easily to ask if he could turn around and return to Haoshuichuan."

"I was originally thinking about whether we could seize Longgan City and use it as a nail outside the battlefield to constantly threaten the Song army's logistics and food supply. Now I'm afraid that will be difficult."

Zhang Yuan put his hands behind his back, frowned, and looked a little sad.

"Han Jingyuan...this is indeed your backup plan!"

"Except for you, I can't think of anyone else who can give such a clear and efficient command."

"Compared to your grandfather, you are indeed a worthy opponent."

For the first time, Zhang Yuan felt that his marching and fighting methods were understood so thoroughly by others.

"No! Logically, my identity and situation should be unknown to anyone except the Mo Zang tribe. Han Ming wouldn't know that I was in charge."

Zhang Yuan's frown deepened, and then he smiled suddenly, his brows relaxed.

"Hmph, you were in the open, I was in the dark. We've only figured out the basic rules of marching and fighting. How could we possibly know about Zhang's existence?"

After realizing this, Zhang Yuan immediately became confident. He called his personal soldiers and wrote a letter to be sent back to Mo Zang Xiling.

A few days later, Mo Zang Xiling, who was lying in wait on the Jitou Mountain, received a letter from Zhang Yuan.

The letter emphasized the importance of Longgan City to this battle and hoped that it could be captured.

At the same time, it analyzed the situation that Longgan City should be used as a logistics base for Song court reinforcements at this time, and that the city defenses of Longgan City may not be heavily guarded.

Of course, Zhang Yuan was also well aware of the crisis that the Western Xia army was facing as they advanced deep into the enemy's territory alone, so he did not make any final decisions.

Therefore, it was emphasized that if Longgan City could be captured within three days, it should be captured. If it could not be captured, a bigger noise should be made to create the illusion that the Western Xia was attacking Longgan City by force, thereby attracting and confusing the Song troops in various places.

After reading the letter, Mo Zang Xiling felt for the first time that this battle was a bit restrained and he couldn't let go.

"Longgan City? I'm afraid it has become the forward base for the Song Dynasty's reinforcements heading north. This battle will be difficult to win."

After thinking for a while, he felt that he could not risk his own son's life to complete this task.

Anyway, we don't have the military force to take it down, so we might as well just make a feint attack.

Having made up his mind, Mo Zang Xiling led the remaining troops behind him and rushed straight to Longgan City.

In Longgan City, Chen Han, who was counting the military supplies on the front line, was sitting in the yamen, looking through the incoming and outgoing intelligence.

It was not until the earth-shaking alarm suddenly sounded at the north city gate that Chen Han suddenly raised his head from the numerous documents, and then his eyes lit up.

"As expected of Master Han's grandson, he could even predict this!"

It turned out that before Han Ming left Zhishengguan, he had talked to him about the situation in Longgan City.

I would also like to remind you that Longgan City is the logistics and advance base of the Song army in this battle. If Zhang Laodeng of the Western Xia is not stupid, he will definitely set his sights on this city.

But at the same time, this transport envoy who came from a civil official background was relieved. The other party would definitely not take the initiative with the entire army, but would only use a small force to attack this goal.

Therefore, as long as the local troops escorting and guarding the city make more military flags and put them up on the city walls, the enemy will give up the idea when they see them.

Although Chen Han only had a basic understanding of military affairs, he knew from Han Zhang's advice that professionals should do professional things and that people should be realistic. There was no need to be ignorant of the principles of hard work.

So at Han Ming's reminder, he made preparations for defending the city in advance, and also transferred nearly 30,000 troops from Qinzhou to wave flags and shout slogans.

Just when he was getting a little nervous from waiting, the alarm at the city gate completely put his mind at ease, knowing that after all his busy schedules, his wait had finally come to fruition.

"Come here, raise my banner on the city wall and announce that Chen Han, the transport envoy of the Qinfeng Road of the Great Song Dynasty, has been waiting for you!"

Chen Han couldn't help but think of Han Ming's history of showing off. He had to learn from him and show off.

If we win the battle of Haoshuichuan, my name will be recorded in history.

Civil officials of the Song Dynasty like Chen Han generally have the same name, which is not a big deal. The key is to do good things.

After all, in later generations, there was a traitor named Qin Hui who knelt for a thousand years and couldn't stand up. I guess no normal civil official would want such a fame that spread throughout the world.

In short, Zhang Yuan and Han Ming did not appear in the attack and defense of Longgan City.

However, this phenomenon of fighting from a distance was prevalent throughout the Second Battle of Haoshuichuan.

These two can be said to be a match made in heaven...
