It was a windy and snowy day and I was sweating profusely. This was the feeling of many shogunate officials.
Sima Yue stared intently at the army showing off its might in the heavy snow, and at the man standing on the high platform.
An inattention, a mistake in thought, that’s what happened!
Looking back on the past, he missed too many opportunities.
After the Xuchang Arsenal case, it was time to kill him, but at that time, he had many worries, the imperial army was unreliable, and he might not be willing to be driven, and he was far away in Xuzhou, beyond his reach.
After Chang'an killed Xianbei, there was harmony on the surface, but the conflicts behind the scenes had greatly intensified. At that time, the Forbidden Army seemed to be increasingly unreliable, and he returned to Luoyang for the first time, but his footing was not stable, so he was delayed again.
Then came the late emperor's great march, and he was forced to leave the town of Xuchang. From then on, he completely lost the opportunity to kill this beast.
Now, it is myself who should be worried.
There are 15,000 people in the left guard of the Forbidden Army, and there are many people who are close to Shao Xun.
There are still more than 10,000 people in the right guard, and there are many people who know Shao Xun.
The left army formed again after Cao Wu's defeat. The right army had more than 20,000 people. It was okay. Most of them were sergeants from Yu and Yan. They had no friendship with Shao Xun, but they were not very good at fighting.
It's really hard to say what the situation would be like if Shao Xun's 10,000 men were allowed to enter the city.
Can't let him in!
As he thought about it, Sima Yue felt dizzy.
The wind and snow blowing wildly outside made him feel very uncomfortable. It had not been so cold just now, but now it was bone-chilling, as if it was freezing from the cracks in his bones to the bottom of his heart, making him unable to resist.
The followers who had been paying attention to him quietly stretched out their hands to support him.
They are not servants who don't know anything. They still have basic political literacy. On this occasion, Situ must not do anything strange, let alone fall.
"Situ..." a follower called softly.
"Grandpa!" The general of the army, the eldest son Sima Pi, squeezed over, supported his father, and called softly.
Sima Yue glanced at his son, his eyes condensed, and he miraculously calmed down.
He can't fall down, he still has a son.
He only has one son, who is only fourteen years old this year and has just opened a house.
He is too immature, he knows too little, and his control methods are too crude. He still needs to learn and experience.
"Situ." Shangshu Zuopushe, the governor of Luoyang, Liu Tun, came up from downstairs. As soon as they met, he said: "The Duke of Luyang County has arrived with the army of King Qin. Should we open the city gate and let them in?"
?”
Liu Tun has been feeling depressed these past two days.
On the night of the first day of the Lunar New Year, Jia Yin led his troops to attack the Xiongnu camp at night, beheading three thousand people and killing the puppet conquest general Hu Yanhao, which shocked Luoyang for a while.
During the day on the second day of the Lunar New Year, the Xiongnu attacked Guangmomen. From dawn to night, they fought to the death.
The left guard of the imperial army defended the city with all their might, and Fang managed to keep the city gate intact.
In the evening of the same day, Liu Tun tried to repeat his old trick and selected his elite troops to leave the city for a night attack, but was blocked by Sima Yue. The reason was that the Huns were already prepared and if they went to rob the camp now, they would most likely return without success or even be ambushed.
This matter made Liu Tun very angry. Only you who co-authored it can get the limelight, not others, right?
"Please send some woolen clothes, quilts, tents, laborers, and if you have a lot of wine and meat, send a batch as well." Sima Yue said: "As Shao Xun moves to Zhang Fang's old base, don't underestimate the enemy and rush in."
"No." Someone soon went to deliver the order.
"This..." Liu Tun admonished, "Situ, why don't you take advantage of the high morale of the army to organize your troops and go to battle?"
Sima Yue glanced at him contemptuously and was too lazy to respond.
Shao Xun came to Qinwang?
Perhaps, this is true in the eyes of most people, but he doesn't think it is.
I asked you to go north to attack Shaanxi, why did you come down to Luoyang City? Do you have any intentions?
This thief's ambition has been completely concealed. Why can't everyone see his true face clearly? Do you really think he is Shao Quanzhong?
"The country is in chaos but there are loyal ministers..." Ruan Xiu, who joined the army, sighed with emotion.
Xing means temporary or agency, and the rank is lower than joining the army.
Sima Yue had true love for the Chenliu Ruan family, and he really liked recruiting the children of this family to serve as officials.
Ruan Zhan, who had previously joined the army in the Jishi, has now left the palace and been appointed as the crown prince's successor.
Ruan Xiu will leave the palace soon and become the crown prince.
There is also a staff member named Ruan Fu in the shogunate, whose official name is "cavalry", which actually means cavalry joining the army. He was also present at this meeting.
However, San Ruan didn't have a good impression of Sima Yue, but was more loyal to the court. Sima Yue knew this very well, but the Chenliu Ruan family had a great reputation and complicated relationships, and he had to use them. After all, the source of his power was from a wealthy family. support.
At this time, when Sima Yue heard Ruan Xiu's sigh, he was very angry. He was about to explode when he saw Wang Yan step forward and said with a smile: "Situ is old and prudent, and Pu She is brave and diligent. What he said makes sense. However, the war is fierce and dangerous. It’s so unpredictable, how about we sit down and discuss it before making a decision?”
Pei Kang glanced at Lao Wang and saw that this guy was messing with the mud again. What else could you do besides messing with the mud?
Sima Yue snorted coldly, turned and left.
At this moment, a military academy came to the top of the city and whispered something in He Lun's ear.
He Lun looked troubled, but considering the seriousness of the matter, he did not dare to be expert, so he walked to Sima Yue's side and reported: "Situ, the Luyang County government has sent someone to call the door and wants to enter the city."
The more Sima heard this, the anger he had just suppressed could no longer be contained.
He pushed He Lun away and went straight to the female wall, only to see a large group of sergeants standing dozens of steps away, shouting in unison.
The wind was too strong and I couldn't hear clearly, but it was obvious that the words were not good.
Sima Yue didn't want to hear it clearly, so he just ordered: "The thieves are still watching, so it is not appropriate to open the city gate without permission."
"No." He Lun responded.
Between Shao Xun and Sima Yue, he would undoubtedly choose Sima Yue. Even if Sima Yue seemed to be dying soon, he could not change his preference.
However, just as the two of them finished speaking, there was a burst of cheers in the wilderness.
Sima Yue and He Lun looked subconsciously and saw the soldiers of the Silver Spear Army, led by officers, forming a neat queue and heading towards Ximing Gate.
Huh? The two of them were a little confused. What were they going to do?
Well, the answer was soon revealed.
Another junior high school student ran to the top of the city out of breath and reported: "General, Situ, Lieutenant General Yang Bao of Zuowei Palace has ordered the Ximing Gate to be opened, and soldiers from Luyang County's public tent have swarmed into the city."
Sima Yue felt his head was buzzing, his eyes were in a trance, and his body softened unconsciously.
He Lun quickly hugged him and shouted loudly.
The city was in a state of chaos.
****
On Ximingmen Street, groups of warriors wearing helmets and carrying armor came in one after another.
The people of Luoyang rushed to the streets and watched with great joy the first army to come in for reinforcements after the Huns besieged the city.
How honorable these people are!
There are many scratches and holes in the armor on the body, and some of the armor pieces have even fallen off, exposing the inner lining.
The arms, shoulders, chest and even the equipment were vaguely stained with dark red blood.
The shoes were covered with mud and even cracked.
His appearance was unkempt, his beard was unkempt, his fingers were red, swollen and cracked due to the cold, and there were traces of blood seeping out.
His face was roughened by the cold wind and even more dirty.
There are ice crystals hanging on the eyebrows and beard, which complement the white steam coming out.
Only the energy and spirit are very high!
The steps were neat and silent, and there was a hint of arrogance in the corner of his mouth.
When they saw the people of Luoyang watching, the Silver Spear soldiers puffed up their chests and stepped firmer.
"Look before you move forward," an officer shouted.
"Hit the iron crotch together." The soldiers responded in unison.
"Look ahead and look behind."
"Together with the iron sword."
When the last sentence was shouted, the sound shook the roof tiles and the momentum was overwhelming.
There were a few Forbidden Army soldiers on the side who spontaneously maintained order. They looked at these warriors who had been fighting all the way, and then looked at their own distinctive armor, neat attire, and shoes that were almost untouched by mud and water, and they were slightly stunned.
After hundreds of soldiers passed by the first building, they were greeted by horse-drawn carriages and mule carts.
In addition to various supplies, there were also many heads piled on the car.
The people of Luoyang who were watching subconsciously exclaimed.
Hun head!
I don’t know where they were killed, but they all looked extremely ferocious.
Someone spat on the head several times.
Someone threw tiles.
Some of the brave ones got closer and took a closer look. The expressions on the heads had solidified. Most of them looked like they were filled with fear and despair.
It turns out that you are also afraid and despairing?
After more than a hundred carriages passed by, another large group of soldiers came, closely surrounding one carriage.
A corner of the car curtain was lifted, revealing the majestic face of the golden armored warrior.
"This is a Luyang County bus." Tang Jian, riding a horse, introduced loudly from the side.
More than a hundred soldiers followed the carriage on foot, holding large shields and swords, and glanced around from time to time.
As soon as Tang Jian finished speaking, cheers suddenly started.
"It's Shao Taibai!"
"The man of God came to the world to save the world. The prophecies do not deceive me!"
"It's so pathetic, someone finally came to save us."
"Shao Taibai, come and be the Lieutenant Colonel of the Northern Army. Luoyang City is full of trash!"
"This soldier looks much stronger than the soldiers of the Imperial Guard."
"Although my son is also a forbidden soldier, I don't want to tell lies without conscience. This soldier has murderous intent and is not comparable to the forbidden soldiers."
"The Imperial Guards are all fake!"
The carriage moved forward slowly, and the discussions and cheers gradually faded away.
When we arrived at the square in front of Jinyong City, we stopped.
Shao Xun got off the carriage.
There was no one in the huge square.
There were only a few rows of Imperial Guard soldiers standing on the edge and inside and outside the city gate. At this time, they all prostrated themselves on the ground.
Shao Xun stood in the middle of the square with his hand on the hilt of the sword.
He has firmly taken his destiny into his own hands.
Chapter completed!
