In the corridor, Wang Yu ran quickly while confirming the completion of the plan with Xu Huang.
"Is everyone else in place?"
"Marquis Zhou got the token and has already gone to the east city; the remaining people are waiting outside the north city. Everything is going well in the city. Hu Lingjun is in the south city. At least three of the four gates in the south city are in control and can be opened at any time!"
Wang Yu nodded, remained silent for a moment, and sighed: "If there is a chaos, I'm afraid there will still be many innocent people killed and injured."
"The last general just sneaked into the Xiliang army..." Xu Huang shook his head and repeated the words of the Xiliang army generals.
"Even if there is no lord, the people of Xiliang will still plunder the city and then force the people to go westward. If they really succeed, let alone two out of ten, I am afraid that there will be no one out of ten! Lead the people out of the city in advance to avoid it, come up with a strategy
It is said that it is a waste of money and makes the people of Xiliang fall short of their achievements. At the same time, it is also an act of kindness by countless living people. Why should my lord belittle oneself?"
Xu Huang was wearing full armor, but it did not hinder his movement at all. He brought more than a dozen people to support Wang Yu. Except for him, they all went into battle lightly. But at this moment, he was the only one who could follow Wang Yu. The others
Everyone was thrown far away.
Wang Yu originally just casually sighed that his original plan was to completely occupy Luoyang, but Wang Yun's lack of cooperation caused him to fall short. The best countermeasures he can take now are already.
The people have all run away, so the difference between Dong Zhuo and Luoyang is not very big. He retreated obediently, and he has done his best. If he still insists on not retreating, then he can wait until he reaches Nanyang and then raise another army.
Take care of him.
In order to realize this plan, he sent out all the scouts he brought to instigate, and at the same time, they could also play a guiding role when the great escape began; in addition, he also discussed with Hu Muban, Huangfu Song and others to persuade
The other party helped open the city.
The troops of the Xiliang Army were stretched thin, and Luoyang City was so big that it was impossible to control all the city gates. Except for Dong Zhuo's Nangong, which was tightly fortified, only the East City and the North City were heavily guarded, and the West City and Nancheng were both interchanges.
Guarded by the Beijing army.
Of course, the chaos that spreads throughout the city will probably cause a lot of casualties, and even if there is guidance, it will be in vain. This is why Wang Yu's lament came from, but even if Xu Huang didn't say it, he wouldn't be obsessed with it anymore.
If you ask him to do it over again, he will do the same thing.
"What Gongming said is true, but don't you find it strange?"
Xu Huang was slightly startled: "My lord, what you mean is..."
"The morale of the Xiliang army has been shaken, especially when they are worried about the Northern Army facing them..." Wang Yu muttered: "It doesn't matter to others, Li Ru is a man of extraordinary intelligence. How could he make such a move? It's just to buy time.
Huh? But he has no intention of retreating immediately. He seems to be very confident in the Northern Army?"
Wang Yu always likes to be lenient to his enemies. Jia Xu had warned him carefully before he set off from Hulao Pass. How could he despise Li Ru?
"This... I don't know the end." Xu Huang was not stubborn and was well versed in general strategy. He thought about it carefully and discovered the contradiction, but he also couldn't figure it out.
"Anyway, it's very strange. We can't take it lightly." Seeing that he had reached the tunnel exit, Wang Yu shook his head and stopped worrying. His soldiers were still waiting for him to complete the last plan.
The tunnel exit is located in Beicheng, in a small valley on the south bank of the Gushui River.
The valley is not big, and the mountain is not high, but it is enough to accommodate hundreds of people standing side by side, and it perfectly blocks the sight lines in several directions except the north, making it quite secretive.
If a passer-by who doesn't know the truth accidentally sees this valley and wants to explore it, he will definitely be scared to death. At this moment, there are hundreds of armored soldiers standing in the valley, with huge swords in their hands, with a gleaming edge.
People are intimidated!
Coming out of the secret passage, Wang Yu saw the same scene. He nodded with satisfaction. Xu Huang's ability in commanding troops was quite good. In just a few days, he was able to train the Bai Bo soldiers, who were not very disciplined, into such a military appearance.
Even if it is just a sample product, it is enough.
"Everyone knows the situation, so I won't say much more! In order to save the world and save hundreds of thousands of people in Luoyang, brothers, come with me and give the Xiliang people the final blow!"
Although the fire in Situ's Mansion can provide a certain cover, the Xiliang soldiers are not a vegetarian. The tunnels will be discovered at any time. Even with the disturbance of a few forked roads, the pursuit of the soldiers will not arrive for more than half an hour.
.
Time was running out, so Wang Yu used the simplest language to boost the morale of the recruits, then waved his hand and pointed outside the valley.
"Oh!" Although his speech was short, it was on the right track. Saving the country was more effective for people like Xu Huang. Only soldiers with yellow turban backgrounds could empathize most with saving the people.
Five hundred warriors came out of the valley proudly, turned to the west along the valley water, and aimed directly at Jinyong City in the northwest of Luoyang!
It is said to be Jinyong City, but in fact, the famous Luoyang Acropolis was built in the Wei and Jin Dynasties and does not exist yet. This city in the northwest of Luoyang is actually a temporary walled city because it is close to Gushui.
The terrain overlooks Luoyang, so Dong Zhuo regarded it as an important base for retreat and a place to store grain.
What is hoarded here is not only the food, grass and money that the Xiliang army has looted since entering Luo, but also a large number of ships!
There is no doubt about Li Ru's talent. He made quite complete preparations for moving the capital. If Dong Zhuo was not very good at accepting remonstrances and the Xiliang army itself had many problems, his move to move the capital might have achieved its goal.
Wang Yu's final goal is Jinyong City! Destroy this stronghold and burn the food and ships together, and the Xiliang army will be completely at the end of its rope.
Of course, Li Ru would not ignore such an important place.
Even though their troops were stretched thin, the Xiliang Army still deployed 3,000 soldiers and horses in Jinyong City! At the same time, the camp was also built extremely strong. If there was an enemy attack, beacon fire would be raised in the camp as soon as possible, and reinforcements from Luoyang City would arrive in the blink of an eye.
Time will come.
Under normal circumstances, as long as Luoyang does not fall, Jinyong City, located northwest of Luoyang, is as stable as Mount Tai.
The team of five hundred people was a target at first glance. It was already discovered by the defenders of Jinyong City several miles away.
The defenders did not react much. Perhaps they regarded Wang Yu and others as friendly forces, or perhaps they felt that a force of this size, even if it was an enemy soldier, would not pose much of a threat. In short, they had no intention of raising beacon fire.
On the other hand, the atmosphere on Wang Yu's side was a bit tense. The new recruits were very courageous when fighting, but this was their first time fighting behind enemy lines. They were walking carelessly in front of the enemy's camp, feeling a little uneasy. Fortunately, the iron helmet blocked it.
Their faces and expressions could not be seen by the defenders on the wall, otherwise they might have become suspicious.
Wang Yu walked calmly behind Xu Huang. He was too young. Relatively speaking, Xu Huang looked more like an officer.
The defenders were very vigilant. Although they did not raise the beacon, they had no intention of opening the door. They raised their voices from a distance and asked: "Stop! This is the center of the military camp. What are you doing here?"
Xu Huangyao pointed at Luoyang City and raised his voice: "The princes of Guandong sent spies into the city to cause chaos, intending to cooperate with Cao Cao's offensive. The Prime Minister was afraid that Jin Yong City would be lost, so he sent his troops here to reinforce! The military situation is urgent, why don't you open the door quickly?"
There was silence on the wall of the stronghold for a while, and the defenders seemed to be discussing something. After a while, someone asked again: "The Prime Minister has an order to guard the important grain area. No entry is allowed without his order. Where is the general's order?"
"Do you want to look down at the Prime Minister's warrant on the wall?" Xu Huang pretended to be impatient and shouted: "I dare to show it to you, but I'm afraid you won't be able to afford it after reading it! Open the door quickly, otherwise it will delay the Prime Minister's order.
Everything and the blame are yours and have nothing to do with anyone."
"...Please wait a moment, General."
The Xiliang army originally didn't pay much attention to these etiquette and other things, but after entering Luoyang, Dong Zhuo made friends with famous people, and his reputation became bigger and bigger. The guard general was not sure whether there was any etiquette that could not ignore the order, and Xu Huang's
His tone was so loud that it frightened him.
Not long after, the gate of the village opened a crack, and the guard came out with a few soldiers. This man's beard and hair were slightly yellow. Even if he was not a Hu, he should have Hu blood, and he should be a close confidant. You know,
Apart from his relatives, the people Dong Zhuo trusted the most were the Hu people.
"Last General Hu Chi'er, the general looks unfamiliar, is he someone close to the Prime Minister?"
"Xu Huang was just transferred from Hedong," Xu Huang still looked impatient, "Well, there is an emergency in the city, and there are signs of instability in the Bingzhou army. The prime minister is in a hurry to dispatch troops and has no time to write an order.
They said they would use this token instead, please take a look."
"Oh?" With such a name, Hu Chi'er is naturally a ruthless general. He doesn't know a few Chinese characters, and he can't understand the warrant given to him. It makes sense to give him a token.
"Is this... jade?"
"Nonsense, can I entertain you with a stone?" Xu Huang shook the jade pendant in his hand and said with disdain: "With this little knowledge, you still dare to claim to be the prime minister's confidant? You don't even know about this jade? This
But the jade pendant given by the emperor is what the prime minister carries with him every day!"
"Ah? Is this the jade?"
Hu Chi'er was shocked. He lowered his head and looked at it carefully for a moment, and then shouted again, "Sure enough, the Prime Minister showed it to everyone at the banquet before, saying that he snatched it from the little emperor... ahem, the one he took is second only to the Jade Seal.
Something! Yes, it’s this. It’s warm to the touch when it’s cold, and cool to the touch when it’s hot…”
"So awesome?" Several soldiers also came over, their eyes widened as they crowded in front of Xu Huang like a stack of arhats.
"Of course, it belongs to the emperor, can it be any different?"
When he showed off the token, Xu Huang was still a little uneasy. He showed off the jade pendant with one hand and already touched the ax handle with the other hand. When he saw the fuss made by Hu Chi'er and others, he felt relieved and shouted again with an unruly look on his face: "Okay.
Okay, okay, the token has been tested, can you still open the door? There are so many people crowding at the door, what if someone from Bingzhou comes and kills me, what will I do?"
"That's right, what the general said is..." After seeing the jade, Hu Chi'er's expression became much more respectful. Everyone who has seen it knows that this piece of jade is the prime minister's treasure. He carries it with him everywhere. When he is not particularly happy, he will not use it at all
Don’t show it to anyone else!
Even this piece of jade was taken out as a token today. The situation must have been quite urgent. In addition, this unfamiliar general is probably also a very favored one.
I heard that Niu Zhonglang messed up several big things recently. The prime minister intentionally divorced him and hired a new son-in-law. Looking at the general's handsome appearance, maybe...
Thinking of this, Hu Chi'er no longer had any doubts in his mind, turned around and shouted: "Open the door! Welcome the general!" (To be continued.
