"I heard that Wanyan Yong has now surrendered Pu San Zhongyi and is working with him to deal with Tu Dan Hexi and Wanyan Liang's crown prince Wanyan Guangying!"
"With the strength of Tu Dan Hexi and Prince Jin, they are absolutely no match for Wanyan Yong and Pu San Zhongyi!"
"And now Emperor Zhao Gou has ordered Wang Qi and Li Xianzhong to withdraw their troops and return to Huainan. Shandong, including Bianjing, which you, the commander, took the initiative to withdraw from, is now an undefended place!"
"Before I came, I heard that Ye Yiwen was sent by Zhao Gou again to go to Yanjing to meet Wanyan Yong!"
"As I expected, Emperor Zhao Gou must have reached a new agreement with Wan Yanyong!"
Xin Qiji analyzed.
"I didn't expect that this servant San Zhongyi would defect to Wanyan Yong!"
"I also wanted to use Pu San Zhongyi to deal with Wan Yanyong, but it seems I made a mistake again!"
"Since the Hunjun Zhao Gou asked Wang Qi and Li Xianzhong to retreat to Lehuainan and voluntarily gave up the Shandong land they had worked so hard to conquer, could it be that the Hunjun wanted to return to the former border with Wanyan Yong?"
"For Hunjun to make such a big concession, it seems that Hunjun and Wanyan Yong must have some conspiracy!"
Xu Xian also felt something was abnormal.
"is not that right?"
"So I am very worried about you, Marshal, so I hurriedly brought Marshal Geng's former followers and some rebels who joined on the road to help you, Marshal!"
Xin Qiji echoed.
"Are you worried about me?"
"Could it be that you are worried that I will attack Luoyang?"
"It seems that Brother Tanfu is indeed my most trustworthy brother, Xu Xian!"
Xu Xian was naturally happy to receive support from Xin Qiji in this difficult time.
"What I'm worried about is of course not that the commander-in-chief can't take Luoyang!"
"But I'm afraid that the Hunjun betrayed the contract you sent Ye Yiwen to reach with Wanyanyong in exchange for Wanyanyong sending troops to deal with you, the commander-in-chief!"
Xin Qiji's expression was very angry at this moment.
"What?"
"According to Brother Tanfu's wishes, could it be that Hunjun wants to take the land south of the Yellow River in exchange for joining the Tatar Wanyan Yong in sending troops to attack me?"
"In order to deal with me, this foolish king actually did what Shi Jingtang did!"
"It's really hopeless, hopeless!"
After Xu Xian heard Xin Qiji's reminder, his fists clenched loudly, and he wished he could go to Lin'an and kill the faint king Zhao Gou now.
Okay, you idiot!
I, Xu Xian, didn’t want to rebel at first!
It was you, the foolish king, who forced me to rebel!
After taking Luoyang this time, I will officially rebel to show you!
At this time, Xu Xian was completely determined to rebel.
"Brother Tanfu!"
"You must also know that we are blocked at Mengjin Pass, right?"
Xu Xian brought the topic back.
"Of course I've heard about it!"
"Otherwise, why would I be so anxious to come here to help you, Marshal?"
Xin Qiji responded.
"good!"
"Then does Brother Tanfu have any good ideas to help us capture Mengjinguan?"
Xu Xian asked.
"Actually, it's not difficult to capture Meng Jinguan. Why don't you, Marshal, take a look at the new things I've brought?"
"Tell someone to bring the firearms over!"
After Xin Qiji responded to Xu Xian, he immediately shouted into the river.
After a while, several ships came over, loaded with round stones.
"What are these stones for?"
Xu Xian became very curious when he saw these piles of stones.
"These stones are firearms!"
"These are good things. General Li Xianzhong dragged me to bring them to you when I came here!"
"It told me that it actually wanted to regain the Central Plains, but due to the emperor's order, it could not come to support Marshal Xu, so it could only secretly give these things to Marshal Xu!"
Xin Qiji explained.
"General Li Xianzhong is loyal and courageous, and he also helps me Xu Xian so wholeheartedly. He is truly worthy of being a famous general in the world!"
Xu Xian was naturally even more grateful to Li Xianzhong.
"Commander, look!"
Following Xin Qiji's reminder, there was suddenly a huge earthquake and tremor on the river bank, and several big trees on the river bank instantly turned into scum.
Xu Xian had naturally seen firearms before, but he didn't expect that the Song Dynasty's firearms were so powerful.
"nice one!"
"awesome!"
"It's really great!"
"It seems that we have a chance of capturing Mengjing Pass!"
After Xu Xian saw the power of this firearm, he couldn't help but clapped his hands and applauded.
So Xu Xian ordered his men to set up trebuchets in the river and throw the firearms densely at Mengjinguan.
The Jin soldiers at Mengjing Pass had never seen such a powerful firearm. They were killed and injured in an instant, and the rest abandoned the pass and fled.
So Xu Xian led his people across Mengjin Ferry and captured Mengjin Pass easily.
Xu Xian then used firearms to clear the way and captured Xiaopingjinguan, the gateway to the north of Luoyang.
When the Jin soldiers surrounding Yuelin learned that Xiaopingjinguan had been lost and that Luoyang had been opened wide, they had no intention of fighting and retreated towards Luoyang.
Seeing this, Yue Lin took the remaining soldiers, took the opportunity to rush down the mountain, and began to pursue the retreating Jin soldiers.
Naturally, these Jin soldiers were killed by Yue Lin and fled in all directions. By the time they retreated to Luoyang, there were not many left.
At this time, the armies of Lu You, Han Yanzhi, and Yang Polu lived up to Xu Xian's high hopes and broke through the passes guarded by the Jin soldiers. Finally, together with Xu Xian's army, they gathered outside Luoyang City.
When he saw Xu Xian ordering people to set up catapults and prepare to use firearms to attack Luoyang City, Hebielie, who had seen powerful firearms, was also frightened at this moment. He led all the Jin soldiers out of the city and surrendered.
So Xu Xian ordered his people to confiscate all the weapons and armor of the golden soldiers, treat them as prisoners, and imprison them all.
After all, these people are still valuable to Xu Xian, so of course Xu Xian cannot kill them.
So Xu Xian took control of Luoyang, and then Xu Xian immediately ordered people to repair the passes, starting from Hulao Pass and ending at Yique Pass, and resumed garrisoning to defend the entire Yiluo Plain, intending to use this as a stronghold to develop his own power.
.
After the situation in Luoyang was stabilized, Xu Xian summoned the generals to discuss how to experience Luoyang.
"Look!"
"Now we have never had a suitable base. Now that we have finally captured Luoyang, we can temporarily settle down. Although Luoyang is not a permanent place, we can still make a transition!"
"Generals, if you have any good suggestions, please feel free to put them forward now!"
Xu Xian began to solicit opinions.
"Now we have been cut off from food, grass and supplies by the foolish king Zhao Gou. I am afraid we will have to face the Tatars and even the crusaders of the foolish king in the future!"
"So what we should do most now is to reclaim the nearby wasteland and store enough food to feed ourselves. After all, there is no shortage of fertile land in the Yiluo Plain, and it is enough to feed people like us!"
Lu You proposed first.
"yes!"
"The most important thing now is to accumulate food and grass!"
"But if we want to develop and grow, we still have to win Guanzhong, which is the most important thing!"
"After all, Guanzhong must be much stronger than our Luoyang!"
Yue Lin also suggested it.
"There are more than 100,000 Tatar soldiers guarding this pass. It will not be easy for us to capture the pass. After all, there is a natural barrier in Tongguan!"
"And in order to capture Luoyang this time, we have run out of firearms. If we want to attack Tongguan, it will be difficult to attack without firearms!"
"So we might as well cross the Yellow River directly, go north to capture Hedong, capture Taiyuan and Datong, and then it will be convenient to attack the Tatar Yanjing!"
