The Xiaoguo Army suddenly pacified the Marine Corps, which surprised all the princes. For ordinary people, the Xiaoguo Army was expanding its territory, expanding its territory, and expanding its territory.
The territory of the Han people severely dealt with these foreign races who had done all kinds of evil in the territory of Dayan.
However, in the eyes of the princes, this is not so simple. The Liaodong Kingdom and Sumo Marine tribe were taken down, which means that the north of the Xiaoguo Army had been settled. That is to say, from now on,
The Xiaoguo Army did not have to worry about the threat behind Zhao and the threat on the flanks. It could bet all its energy and most of its troops into the Central Plains.
What does this mean? It means that the Xiaoguo Army can no longer focus on the rear wing in military affairs, but turn to the southern region. So, what changes will such a powerful prince suddenly intervene in the disputes in the Central Plains bring to the disputes in the Central Plains? No one
It can be expected, but everyone has to start paying attention to the possibility of the Xiaoguo Army going south.
If you want to say who is most nervous now, it must be the Tang army and the Xuzhou army. Among the princes in the world, the Tang army and the Xuzhou army are the weakest. Of course, there must be one Shanyang army. However, the Shanyang army is not worried now. If Xiao
When the Guo army marched south, the Tang army, Shanyang army and Xuzhou army were naturally the ones who were hit. Therefore, it is impossible not to worry about both.
Outside Hulao Pass, Murong Cheng, who had been attacking fiercely for more than ten days but was unable to stop, was so angry that his face turned pale after learning the news. Naturally, he did not want the Xiaoguo Army to become stronger and stronger, although he also hoped that the Xiaoguo Army could solve the problem.
However, he did not hope that it is now. What he most hoped is after he took down Situ Lei and sat firmly in Luoyang City. Because the Xiaoguo Army has now stabilized the problems behind him, but he still
There is no way to deal with Situ Lei. That means that the Xiaoguo Army will most likely go south directly in the future and participate in the battle for the Central Plains. This is extremely unfavorable for the current Qi army.
"Strengthen the attack, don't stop, take turns to attack, even if you fight all the people, you must break into the city. Drop all the coalition forces and attack the city with our Qi army. Don't pay attention to their whining words, my king's army
They are all fighting to siege the city, why are they not good?" Immediately, Murong Chengdi increased his efforts to siege the city.
It doesn't matter if Murong Cheng increases the siege, but the Tang army, Shanyang army and Xuzhou army are now also incorporated into the army by Murong Cheng, and they are combined together to attack the city. Now, in the eyes of the three princes,
They are all equal. At this moment, Murong Cheng didn't care whether they needed to win over them, and sent them all out and treated them equally.
Now, the generals of the three armies are all over the top. In the past, they could have delayed for various reasons, or they could not work hard. However, now this is obviously not possible. Murong Cheng was stimulated by the Xiaoguo Army and was determined to do so.
We must carry out a strong attack on Hulao Pass. Therefore, the military laws of the three parties are the same and act according to military orders. Therefore, in just five days after obtaining the information of the Xiaoguo army, only half of the soldiers of the three parties were found.
In this way, the three generals also looked bitter and speechless.
No matter how hard they could fight each other, they would not have been able to make their troops like this. But now, Murong Cheng obviously didn't care about anything. He just focused on siege, and the rest were all
Secondary.
The three generals knew about the news about the Xiaoguo Army. They were like Murong Cheng and were very concerned about it. The only difference was that Tang Bin was naturally in his heart and had a serious face. Meng Zhao and Li Yu both looked solemn.
.
"How is it? If this continues, our coalition will be finished sooner or later!" After sunset, the siege ended. The Hulao Pass is indeed the largest gate in eastern Luoyang, easy to defend but difficult to attack. It is still as stable as a mountain for more than half a month.
Meng Zhao couldn't help but finally asked the other two people. The 30,000 troops he brought were only more than 10,000. This is his right army, which means that they are all under his command.
He felt sorry for so much loss.
Tang Bin laughed in his heart and said coldly: "What else can we do? Do we have other choices? Major General, it is said that your Xuzhou army should have a life agreement with the King of Qi, so why would you let you fight to the death here.
?This seems unreasonable. Why not discuss with King Qi to reduce our siege. After all, our troops are not much, and we cannot afford such losses."
Li Yu was secretly angry. Speaking of which, the secret agreement with Murong Cheng was not known why some rumors were diluted, which made the Tang army and the Shanyang army more careful. For this reason, the Tang army in northern Xuzhou also had
The Shanyang Army in Yanzhou City held some talks, and the Xuzhou Army naturally did not know what to discuss. However, the two sides immediately launched a larger-scale trade, leaving some weapons, armor and food and grass in the trade sequence.
After the middle and late, the Xuzhou army knew that the Tang army and the Shanyang army began to regard him as the number one enemy in front of him.
"My Xuzhou army and the King of Qi have a secret agreement? General Tang, you are wrong. You must know that our Xuzhou army and Qi army fought hard in southern Xuzhou and northern Yangzhou for several years, and their hatreds were deep between us.
Hai, there is no secret agreement. However, I heard that the Shanyang Army and the King of Qi were discussing something. This matter should be done by General Tang, which will definitely work."
Tang Bin smiled and said, "My Shanyang Army has a secret agreement with the King of Qi? This is impossible. However, the King of Qi is planning to make a secret agreement with my governor and let my governor join His Highness the King of Qi. Unfortunately, His Highness the King of Qi
Unwilling to return the area occupied by the Wuwei Army first, so it ended up in disagreement. However, General Meng and I were both very surprised. Since the Major General said that your Xuzhou Army and His Highness King Qi had a deep grudge, why did you go alone first
After setting out. After entering the Yuzhou area, he was not only not suppressed by Murong Cheng, but also served by Murong Cheng Haohong. It would be strange if you have nothing to do with him."
Seeing that Li Yu was about to refute, Tang Bin continued, "Okay, no matter what, we don't need to discuss him. After all, the Major General has the ability to make decisions for the Xuzhou Army, but General Meng and I do not have the qualifications. Therefore,
What we say is just a quick talk. Let’s see if the embarrassment is solved. As General Meng said, if we continue like this, our coalition will be finished sooner or later.”
Seeing Tang Bin turn his words in an instant, he couldn't help but feel secretly hatred. Since the other party said this, he naturally could not continue to focus on the relationship with King Qi. However, he would not let the other party go.
Suppress yourself.
"General Tang, your Shanyang Army's losses should be replenished quickly. Not only me, but also the King of Qi also discovered that your 50,000 young and strong are not ordinary young and strong. I saw it,
In the first battle of attack, you will take turns to join your team in actual combat. As long as they are incorporated into your army, not to mention 25,000 people, even 50,000 people will have them."
Tang Bin said in a deep voice: "I know, because we have all the food and grass we carry ourselves, I have let these young and strong men join the army, which can be regarded as a contribution to the siege. However, I saw them attacking.
The city is not very effective, and staying here consumes too much food. Therefore, for the logistics of His Highness Qi, I withdraw them back to Yanzhou."
After a period of actual combat, there were still 40,000 people left. However, these 40,000 people were considered new recruits who had seen blood. They were much better than the recruits who were simply trained. In the meantime, Tang Bin
Some officers were also placed among these young and strong men, and they were made officers, commanders and trained them, and all of them were evacuated from the land of Yanzhou. Of course, as Tang Bin said, it was also to reduce the logistics pressure of the King of Qi, and it was obtained
King Qi's promise.
When Tang Bin said this, Meng Zhao secretly admired him, but Li Yu's face turned dark. In addition to 30,000 soldiers, his Xuzhou army also produced 50,000 young and strong men. Unfortunately, half of them were summoned by the King of Qi, the rest
He also used cannon fodder to send him to the siege team to die. But he didn't expect that the Shanyang Army reserve army, which had been preparing to eliminate the tens of thousands of potential threats, had already run away.
"Okay, let's not mention these for now. General Tang and Major General, do we need to ask the King of Qi now and leave us some time to recover. We can't stand it in this way.
Morale has plummeted. If something goes wrong, it will be difficult for you and I to take responsibility." Seeing that Li Yu and Tang Bin were not dealing with each other, Meng Zhao couldn't help but say.
Did Meng Zhao hope that the two would live in peace? He hoped that the two would fight to the death. But now what he needed is a three-party alliance to put pressure on the King of Qi and suspend the coalition's actions. After all, we are here to help, not
Sent to death.
After the three generals all came to Murong Cheng for advice, Murong Cheng suddenly realized that the attacks were not only unbearable for six consecutive days, but also for his own soldiers. To this day, the coalition forces of the three sides have been working together.
There were 50,000 infantrymen, and the Qi army had less than 70,000. Eighty thousand soldiers were lost one after another. The Grown Guard was not much better. Although he was on the defensive, he also paid 50,000 or 60,000 casualties.
Seeing this, Murong Cheng stopped siege and allowed the soldiers to enter a short period of rest.
"Can't you really be able to pass this Hulao Pass?" Murong Cheng murmured to himself. You know, in the Hulao Pass, he had gathered 200,000 troops and nearly 500,000 young and strong men at the beginning. But now
, the army still has 120,000, and the civil servants still have more than 300,000. The rest are all dead. If it weren't for the fact that many civil servants and young men participated in the war, they would be afraid that the soldiers who attacked the city would be more injured. Of course, this is also with the Situ
Lei can strengthen the Hulao Pass.
"Your Majesty, don't worry, if we attack here, then the defense of Sishui Pass will be much weaker. In addition, we used young and strong soldiers to impersonate soldiers to draw here from outside Sishui Pass, which also reduced the defenders of Sishui Pass a lot.
.At that time, our army can seek a breakthrough from Sishui Pass." Zhong Yan, the general of Murong Cheng, was depressed and persuaded urgently. When will the soldiers and soldiers lose their confidence, but as the chief general, this is not possible
.
Murong Cheng understood Zhong Yan's concern and smiled and said, "It's okay, I'm just sighing a little. This Xiaoguo Army has made people feel much more pressure."
Zhang Tu said: "Prince, according to our spies, the Xiaoguo army did not intend to rush south. Furthermore, his 100,000 army and more than 100,000 people have entered the Turkic grassland in the northern part of Bingzhou.
In the short term, the attack on the Turks will not take any action on the south side."
"Besides, if he acts, the Tang army, Shanyang army and Xuzhou army will also be his first target. After all, as a member of the royal family, no matter what the Xiaoguo army does, they should not directly attack the prince. Of course,
He is also very likely to work with the prince to conquer Situ Lei. However, he cannot obtain much of the final benefit. Therefore, he will not go south easily. Our top priority now is to take Luoyang as quickly as possible, causing the overall situation.
The momentum of determination.”
Murong Cheng said in a deep voice: "As you said, the Xiaoguo Army is now heading south directly, which is not the greatest benefit, because my royal identity is impossible for King Zhao Xun to deal with me before I completely defeated.
The king took action directly, so he would first deal with his rear and the Turks. You know, this is a contribution to expanding territory. If this continues, King Zhao's reputation is much greater than that of me, Murong Cheng. Such a result means
Do you know what you are doing?"
"At that time, because Situ Lei and I fought in the Central Plains, the people were displaced and miserable. Do you think the people in the world support him or support me? Not to mention local officials and scholars. In the mouths of the people, they are
At that time, there would be no role to play. Otherwise, there would be no refugee uprising."
Zhang Tu and Zhong Yan both understood that if Murong Cheng really wanted to be as Murong Cheng said, then it would be impossible for Zhao Xun to replace him, Murong Cheng to become... Of course, the fight among them is not simply a simple explanation.
of.
"Prince, no matter what, as long as we take down Luoyang City first and deal with Situ Lei, no matter how powerful the Xiaoguo Army is, unless he is directly like Situ Lei, otherwise, when the power is evenly matched, the prince and the position of great righteousness, Zhao
Inquiry will not easily attack us. Of course, after the prince takes office, he will also implement a series of measures such as tax reduction and exemption to win over the hearts of the people in the world. The gentry who was dissatisfied with the new policy of the Xiaoguo Army will naturally stand on the
On our side, His Highness, King Qi, will sooner or later defeat the Xiaoguo Army. Prince, you cannot lose confidence because of the temporary victory of the Xiaoguo Army and our temporary obstacles." Zhong Yan said in a stern voice.
Murong Cheng laughed and said, "Lost confidence? How is it possible? When I was just lamenting the advantages of Xiaoguo Army, don't worry, you can break through Luoyang City. Sooner or later. So what about Xiaoguo Army? I will surrender to this king sooner or later.
