The first army to enter the city was Li Tangbin's old base Tianzhu Army.
They controlled the entire city with swift movements. The government offices, treasuries, granaries, and military camps were the key targets of attention. All personnel were prohibited from entering and exiting, and they would only reopen after everything was checked.
Li Tangbin did not go to the government office. He immediately climbed onto the city wall and overlooked the west.
That was the Xiaohan Valley Road. He spent several years fighting and fighting with the Liang people over and over again. Countless soldiers died in those endless mountains, rivers, and forests. He couldn't sleep at night countless times.
I don’t know how many times I have been angry, and I don’t know how many times I have laughed.
Finally he arrived at Xin'an and was about to enter Luoyang.
But he didn't seem very happy. The final victory was not entirely due to him, the former Heluo military envoy. The most critical factor may be that the breakthrough in the Heyang battlefield further posed a threat to the Luoyang flank. The enemy
The army was overwhelmed in defense and was ultimately defeated.
Gao Renhou's smug tone in the ultimatum made Li Tangbin filled with resentment. The old man was too arrogant!
Hu Zhen was beaming with joy, holding Xu Huaiyu's hand and introducing him to the generals of the Xia army one by one. Xu Huaiyu tried his best to cope with it with a tired and fake smile on his face.
Duan Ning also came over and took the opportunity to get to know various generals.
He has already taken refuge with Feng Wei, the deputy envoy of the Eastern Capital Jiedu, and is now the seventh-rank Si Lu to join the army. He has also recommended one person to join the army, one to record affairs, and one to be a palace historian. They are all from the local Tu ethnic group in Luoyang, which is quite good.
Skills. After Feng Wei passed the exam, he felt that they were all experienced operatives and were skilled in business, and could immediately fix the mess in Luoyang, so he trusted Duan Ning more and more.
The speed of changing the court made Hu Zhen look a little sideways. Although he was not worried that Duan Ning would threaten his status, he always disliked this person and didn't know what was going on.
"Duan joins the army, I heard that you are going to take charge of the army? I'm very happy to congratulate you." Hu Zhen said with a smile when passing by Duan Ning.
"Where." Duan Ning sighed: "I have been practicing martial arts since I was a child, and I am familiar with military books. I have always wanted to command soldiers, but these surrendered soldiers have to be handed over to the capital's military commander's office."
There are actually quite a lot of troops surrendered in Luoyang. There are only 10,000 people in Xin'an County. Ma Sixun's 3,000 troops are fully organized and are currently stationed in the suburbs of Luoyang. I heard that they will be replenished for a while, trained vigorously, and then sent out
battlefield.
Duan Ning has already served as the food officer of this army, which shows that this person still has some skills and has opened up many joints.
"There will be a chance." Hu Zhen complimented and then left.
Duan Ning was flattered. When did Marshal Hu speak so politely? After thinking about it, it was right. Now that everyone is an officer of King Xia, their previous status will naturally be lost, and everything will have to start again.
On the fifth day of March, Duan Ning returned to Luoyang with the prisoners.
Ma Sixun was a little greedy when he saw these people. He only had 3,000 soldiers, and 1,000 native soldiers were about to be released, so there were only 2,000 soldiers. It was really too few. It would be great if we could make up for it with some strong men.
.
Although the war has ended, the tense atmosphere in Luoyang still exists. The reason is also very simple. More and more troops have gathered here.
The Tianxiong army was stationed ten miles south of Luoyang, with deep ditches and high forts to guard against the enemy forces in the direction of Yique Pass.
The previous war to encircle and annihilate various Luoyang soldiers and horses only lasted ten days, and the Ruzhou Liang army had no time to mobilize large forces to move north. A lot of troops came one after another. According to inquiries, there were more than 2,000 troops, plus the original 1,000 troops.
The direct army, a thousand prefecture and county soldiers, and a thousand native Tuan villagers, has a strength of more than 5,000.
After Ding Hui became the envoy of the Youguo Army, he sent Ruzhou to unite it into an army. However, Zhu Quanzhong intervened temporarily and sent Zhang Guiba with hundreds of Bianliang disciples to serve as the envoy of Yique Town.
He commanded this army of 6,000 and conducted rigorous training. Later, he was given 500 additional cavalry, and the war horses were selected from Guangchengze Ranch. This army had a total of 6,500 cavalry, and was named "Wei Rong Army". Well, this is a mockery of Shao Shude.
Where is "Xirong"?
Ding Hui has also been in some trouble recently because there are rumors that Zhao Keyu, the former Heyang Jiedu envoy, sent his trusted servants to sneak into Ruzhou to recruit Ding Hui to surrender.
This is true, Ding Hui has sent the envoy's head and secret message to Bianzhou. Unfortunately, the tree is still but the wind is not stopping, there are still many rumors, but Zhu Quanzhong ordered to praise Ding Hui, and it seems that he still trusts him.
Tianxiong's army is stationed outside the pass, but it is actually a little overkill. Ding Hui is actually under great pressure. He must not only prevent Tangzhou from destroying the clan, but also help prevent Cai and Xu, who went south to plunder Tangzhou last month.
, and were repulsed by Zhe Zongben. His troops and horses were actually nailed here and could not move. If they moved, the Weisheng Army might break into Ruzhou, and Shao Shude's Hanoi, Luoyang, and Nanyang would be connected together.
The second army stationed in Luoyang was the Dingyuan Army.
After the surrender of Xin'an County, the Dingyuan Army immediately withdrew, but was about to leave again, planning to garrison in the Shenyuan Pass area. Currently, the area is guarded by the Yumen Army, and the "Red-haired Army" does not belong to the Luoyang Camp.
The order of battle is about to be restored.
However, according to the plan, the main generals of the Dingyuan Army were stationed in Yanshi County, keeping a low profile and keeping a low profile. Wang Yu's general flags have already appeared in the Luokou area. Let the Liang people guess for themselves.
At this time, within the dozens of miles of valley road from Xin'an to Luoyang, the Shunyi and Jinglue armies were also moving towards Luoyang to further complete the concentration of troops. The Tianzhu army did not belong to the Luoyang camp battle sequence, so it temporarily stayed in the Xin'an area.
Of the eight planned armies, four are already in place, with tens of thousands of soldiers and horses. No matter how stupid the people of Luoyang are, they know that a war is coming, and it is normal to be nervous.
"We have been gathering troops and gathering food all day long. The war is about to begin. We must seize this opportunity." After arranging the surrender of troops, Duan Ning returned home, still in a state of disbelief.
There is no way, I am too eager to make progress.
…
In Mengzhou City, Shao Shude received the envoy from Weizhou.
The envoy's name is Yang Li. He is a close aide of Luo Hongxin, the Jiedu envoy. He is often involved in confidential matters. He can still represent the attitude of Luo Hongxin and his son.
"As Yang Suishi said, the Xia and Wei towns have been in close contact for many years, with constant exchanges of merchants and scholars. Now Shi Renyu has tens of thousands of generals stationed at the prime minister and guarding them. What's the point?" Sitting under Shao Shude's head.
Zhao Guangfeng asked.
Yang Li smiled and said: "Since there is a misunderstanding, how about we call it quits? The five counties in Weizhou are the territory of Weibo. The people live and work in peace and contentment and have not heard of war for many years. If the king of Xia can restrain his troops, he will not let the soldiers cross the border.
, the people of Wei are so happy that they will definitely feel the virtue of King Xia."
"Quan Zhong's ability to leave Bianzhou was a gift from the late Emperor. Now that he is supporting his own troops and not respecting the imperial orders, even his tribute has been cut off. How can such thieves be treated without asking for help?" Zhao Guangfeng said with a righteous look on his face.
: "The people of Wei want to help Zhou to commit cruelty?"
Yang Li was not angry at all, but still smiled and said: "Who can tell clearly what is right or wrong."
"I heard that Wang Rong was promoted to the title of Queen Zhao. There were many criticisms in the court. They all said that Rong was still young, so he should be granted the title of King of Zhao. The Wei Boluo family is respectful, loyal and courageous, has always paid tribute to the virtuous and corporal, so why can't he be granted the title of king?" Chen Cheng seemed to suddenly remember.
Something, he interjected: "I was thinking about it one day and night. In today's world, we still need all the towns to work together and work together. The six states of Wei and Bo have always been respectful, and they fought against Huaixi and rebelled against the vassal. During the reign of Zhaoyi and Liu Zhen, they sent troops many times to quell the rebellion.
, His contribution is extremely great. If the Luo family makes new achievements, he may be promoted to the king of Wei and his ancestors will be honored."
When Yang Li heard this, his expression condensed, this was a condition.
"Well, the Luo family has donated a lot of goods to the imperial court in recent years." As soon as Shao Shude spoke, the crowd fell silent.
He cleared his throat and continued: "I think Luo's management of Weizhou is quite strategic. The people are safe, business travel is prosperous, and everyone praises him. With such achievements, Weizhou may be conquered for the rest of the world. People like Shi Renyu also want to make a festival.
Isn’t it ridiculous to send an envoy?”
Chen Cheng and Zhao Guangfeng laughed together.
Yang Li also smiled and said: "Shi Dutou is a veteran general in the town and is loyal. This must be a rumor."
"It must be a rumor." Shao Shude nodded and said, "I'll just send someone to Weizhou tomorrow to ask."
The smile on Yang Li's face could hardly be maintained.
He knew that although there were internal conflicts and differences in Weizhou, it was still relatively united externally and would not be easily instigated or won over by outsiders. However, this matter involved the sensitive inheritance of power, and he could not be careful no matter how careful he was.
Pass.
Luo Shuai, he is sixty-two years old! To put it bluntly, he is already in his twilight years. If he gets a serious illness, he will probably be gone.
Luo Shuai once had several sons. The eldest son died young, the second son died in the army, and the third son was ineffective and did not join the army. The fourth son was still capable of literary and martial arts, so he planned to succeed him.
But Wei Bo is elected by the military. If I die, my son will not necessarily succeed. If Luo Shuai dies one day, the fourth son Luo Shaowei can only say that he has a greater advantage, but as far as the rules are concerned, there is absolutely nothing that is justified. If
What should we do if the soldiers do not recommend Luo Shaowei but Shi Renyu?
The military selection system has been established for more than a hundred years. Wei Bo's officers and men do not accept the airborne appointment of military envoys. Only those recommended by them are legal, otherwise the army will be in chaos in a minute.
Shi Renyu is a general in the army and has great prestige. Judging from his daily performance, it seems that he is not uninterested in the position of Jiedushi. If he is determined to connect with each other, the possibility of success is very high.
If in the past, with the support of the Buddha Zhu Quanzhong, the Wei Bo soldiers who were afraid of being beaten would not want to do anything, and might have let Luo Shaowei be the governor. But with Zhu Quanzhong like this, how much prestige does he still have? What if?
What if King Xia openly supports Shi Renyu? What will happen?
Yang Li's mind was spinning, but he didn't show any expression on his face. He still smiled and said: "This is a matter in the town, so King Xia doesn't have to worry about it. There are hundreds of thousands of soldiers in Wei Town, and they are all led by Commander Luo."
.If there is a traitor who dares to cause trouble, everyone will find it and kill him."
Shao Shude laughed and said: "Don't worry, I also support Luo Shuai. After the envoy returns, he will explain what happened today, and Luo Shuai will definitely agree with it."
