In the east of Luoyang City, there is a canal connecting Yishui and Luoshui, called Yangqu. At this time, the canal is full of boats, and there are many soldiers and civilians driving cars near Jianchun Gate. It is very busy outside the city.
At this time, the sky was already bright, the sun had risen, and was looming in the clouds, dyeing the eastern sky with a bright morning glow. However, the twelve city gates of Luoyang were all closed, and they were opened from time to time, and people came out in groups.
Soldiers.
All the large and small markets in the city have also been closed, and there are far fewer pedestrians on the streets than usual. Such a deserted city does not seem to be a spring scene, but it is depressing as if a storm is about to come.
Almost everyone knows that the rebel army has arrived in Yishui. Some people hope that the rebels will win, while others want the opposite, and everyone has their own ideas.
Jiang Ji, Gao Rou, Xu Yun and other ministers certainly hope that Sima Yi will defeat the rebels in one battle. But those imprisoned in the Tingwei Mansion Prison, as well as the family members of Cao Shuang's gang members everywhere, who have not had time to behead, must be looking forward to it.
The rebels were able to invade Luoyang. The man who was originally destined to die suddenly had a chance to change because he died later!
But most people are just watching the show. As long as there are no people involved, what difference does it make between Sima Yi and Wang Ling?
Some dandy boys even secretly set up a bet, betting on which side would win.
This group of people even asked their slaves to take the message and ask He Jun if he would place a bet! When He Jun found out, he was so angry that he wanted to scold their maid.
He Jun, who had always been interested in sensual dogs and horses, had long since lost all interest in having fun and was in a state of panic all day long.
Not long ago, he seemed to have walked out of the gate of hell. His father had been beheaded. Fortunately, his mother, Cao Jinyu, kowtowed to several people to beg for mercy, and he escaped. But according to his mother's wishes, the Sima family only temporarily let go.
passed him.
The He Mansion, which was usually a prestigious family, had its doors tightly closed at this time. The whole family was wearing sackcloth and mourning, staying behind closed doors and feeling at a loss at home.
"Which side can win?" Lu knelt down in front of Aweng's tablet and finally couldn't help but ask He Jun.
He Jun's expression was very complicated, with a tone of complete disbelief: "There are so many strange things in this world. Qin Liang is actually the leader of the rebel army! Can he defeat Sima Yi?"
Cao Jinyu couldn't help but said: "The Sima family is your father-killing enemy, and they may attack you in the future in order to eliminate the root cause!"
He Jun's face was already pale, but when he heard this, his face turned even more pale. He shrank his neck and couldn't help but swallow his saliva.
Cao Jinyu's mother is Mrs. Du. She was the wife of Qin Yilu, whom Guan Yu and Cao Cao fought for. She was very beautiful. Cao Jinyu didn't look like Cao Cao, but looked like Mrs. Du. But the most important thing is that Qin Lang was the son of Mrs. Du.
, and at the same time, he is the clan brother of Qin Liang, the former commander of King Qin’s army!
So we can have some kind of relationship, even though we have no contact at all.
Cao Jinyu looked back at the door of the mourning hall and said solemnly: "If Qin Liang wins, you may still be alive."
He Jun shook his head and said: "It's hard to say! Qin Liang hates me, even more than the Sima family. Sima Yi may kill me in the future, and Qin Liang will kill me soon!"
Mrs. Lu on the side quickly lowered her head.
Cao Jinyu said in a deep voice: "If Qin Liang wins, ask your wife to go see him and plead for mercy."
Lu's face suddenly turned red.
He Jun didn't react at all. He usually cared about his wife's good reputation, but he had long been tired of Lu. At this critical moment of life and death, he didn't care about Lu as much as his mother. But.
He Jun looked worried again and said: "Not only does it have little to do with my wife, I'm afraid it's not the main reason at all."
When Mrs. Lu heard this, she quickly cleared the air and said, "Auntie, when Qin Zhongming was an official in Luoyang, he had a rift with his husband and slandered each other many times."
He Jun also said: "He just hates me for no reason!"
Cao Jinyu frowned and said, "If you didn't provoke him, he had no power at that time, so how could he hate you?"
He Jun said with a sad face: "Yes, how could the powerless Qin Liang do such a big thing?" He tilted his head slightly, as if reminiscing, then shook his head and said, "It's useless to say anything.
Qin Liang can't be Sima Yi's opponent! Don't I know him well? How many things has he seen?"
Cao Jinyu said: "Xuchang was captured in three days, and Sima Shi was no match for him. Everyone is talking about this person. People who look down on Qin Zhongming, I'm afraid you are the only one in Luoyang."
He Jun looked ugly and said: "It's really unbelievable."
Cao Jinyu still insisted on his opinion: "No matter how much resentment you have with him, it is not a deep hatred, it can be resolved. Sima Yi is different from us. If he kills your father, the Sima family will always remember you."
He Jun sighed, looked at his late father's memorial tablet, and cried, "How could it be like this?"
The family of three fell silent, and one child had already fallen asleep in Lu's arms. At this time, everyone could only wait quietly. The war between the two sides was about to break out, and it would not take long for the outcome to be determined.
... Some of the camps of the two armies south of Yique Pass are less than ten miles apart.
Approximately more than 200,000 people gathered in the north and south of Yique Mountain at this time. People could not be seen all over the mountains and plains, but there were many military camps, and the simple watchtowers of the camps were everywhere among the mountains and rivers, as if in just one or two days,
Within a few days, a primitive town was built on the ground.
Many trenches were dug on both sides, and many fences and antlers were planted. However, the military camps of King Qin's army were not on the banks of Yishui, but at the foot of Yique Mountain near Xiong'er Mountain.
Especially near the gap between the two mountains, there are many camps in the north. The fence of the military camp has been built to the slope of Yique Mountain.
The sunset shines between the mountains and rivers, the dusty air reflects the light, and there is a foggy scenery. The surroundings are very lively, but the war has not started. Only sporadic string sounds can be heard from the sound of horse hooves, which are the riders of both sides.
in activity.
The terrain leading to Yique Pass here is getting narrower and narrower as we go. Toutie's attack in this direction will take a long time. Only by detouring and fighting between the two sides can the situation be unfolded.
Although the Yique Pass Corridor is narrow, the river bed is very wide. It is the dry season now, so there will be no problem for the enemy to mobilize troops. However, King Qin’s army has to go around the entire Yique Mountain, which is a relatively long distance; to the south of Yique Pass there is another
To defend the rear, you must divide your troops. If you divide your troops, you will have each fighter to defeat them. This may be Sima Yi's idea.
This battle is not a battle where one side attacks and the other side defends. It is a decisive battle based on the terrain. Sima Yi will not just defend, he will win by attacking!
Qin Liang has decided to detour the main force to the north for the time being, while relying on the mountain shape to defend the south.
By this time Yinci had already discovered the spy.
"After the servants investigated the situation, they arrested all those who had access to General Linghu's food and drink and took them to the village. They questioned their origins and tortured and interrogated them. Finally, some of them confessed." Yinci said in front of Linghuyu.
He said, "There is a cook who is in charge of arranging the affairs of Yanzhou. He is ordered to mix something into General Linghu's rice every day, but the cook doesn't know what it is."
Linghu Yu said: "It's Yang Kang. He ran away after you arrested him! My dear, I regard him as a confidant. He wants me dead!"
After Linghuyu became angry, he frowned and said, "I have known him for many years, how could he be Sima Yi's man?"
Qin Liang said calmly: "You don't have to send people again, you can use various means to bribe them."
Linghuyu thought about it and seemed to think that it was more likely to be bribery, so he nodded in agreement.
Qin Liang didn't notice any clues beforehand, and only became aware of the conspiracy on the eve of the war. Although this incident did not cause any damage, it seemed to cast a shadow over the war.
Qin Liang thought for a while and then said nicely: "The people have escaped, and no one will poison the general again. The general will leave this matter alone for the time being. After leading his troops to the north, he must concentrate on deploying military affairs."
Linghuyu's expression became serious, he cupped his fists and said, "I won't dare to be careless!"
Qin Liang took a deep breath and said: "The war cannot be delayed for too long. Early tomorrow morning, we will launch the attack according to the pre-deployed position."
Several people present turned their heads to pay attention, bowed and said: "Yes!"
