Chapter 997 The beacon fire enters Luoyang
The lights on the upstairs are accompanied by Xiaoshuang,
Sleeping alone, people get up with a bed of love.
How much is a one-night stand in love?
The corners of the earth are not long.
"Swallow Tower Sings and Reunions"
Tang: Zhang Zhongsu
——I am the dividing line—
Even after such a step, everything seemed to be still under his control, which immediately made the soldiers and soldiers cheered up a little.
Today's Wuning Army is no longer the birthplace of the Pang Xun Rebellion that disrupted most of the world. With the continuous suppression and weakening of the Jie Zheng sent by the courts in previous dynasties, the local household registration people have already changed several times, and the new generation of people have wiped out the courage and bloodiness of rebelling at all costs, and have become lost in the public.
That is why the Huai Shang towns intercepted Huang Chao's army and mutiny occurred. Then, under the attack of Cai thieves led by Qin Zongquan a few years ago, they could only retreat step by step, and even defended the city and avoided the battle and allowed them to rage within the territory.
It can be said that compared to the Taining Army (Yanhai Town), which was repeatedly drawn by the court to fight against the thieves, and has taken root and sprouted in many places in the world, or the three towns on Huai Shang, which followed the old foundation of the Andong Protectorate, and the Pinglu Army (Ziqing Town), which is known as the most skilled in fighting against the Hebei Front, the Wuning Army (Ziqing Town), which occupies the bottom role of the key to the north and south of the Central Plains.
However, due to the chaos in the world and local separatism, the north and south transportation and business travel are almost cut off. As the Wuning Army, which protects the north and south rivers and rivers and waters and lands, the largest source of income is almost cut off. The hundreds of miles of fertile plains that the land of Xu Si relies on for nourishment and resting, was also decayed because of the rampage of the Cai thieves, and the people's livelihood was withered and deserted everywhere.
In addition, what is expected this year is that it is unknown how large a locust plague will be caused by, and the Huai Shang Alliance, which is in name only. It can be said that this is the weakest and most dangerous moment for the Wuning Army.
(In another time and space, Shang Rang led his troops to rebel and surrender to Shi Pu, and then Huang Chao's nephew Lin Yan also surrendered to Shi Pu after his death. Shi Pu not only obtained a large amount of wealth and treasures from Huang Chao's old subordinates and his accompanying army, but also obtained the heads of Huang Chao and his family and sent them to Emperor Xizong of Tang in Chengdu. He thought it was the first to be the king.)
But what was unexpected was that Shi Pu, the current governor of Xu Si, would collude with his old enemy Qin Zongquan and covet and spy on Zhu Laosan's territory in Dujidao. But why didn't Zhu Laosan have any help in this? Then he called:
"Wang Jinghua, Zhang Tingfan"
"Subordinate is..."
These two local powerful people who came from Yingzhou and Bozhou respectively hurriedly stepped out and responded:
"Zhao Er and others lead their troops to attack outside the south gate. If they encounter obstacles, they will line up under the city and use walls to cover the enemy. Be sure to make a big noise."
Zhu Laosan continued to instruct:
"Get orders!"
Wang Jinghua and Zhang Tingfan, the two local generals, couldn't help but look forward to their faces and quickly took the orders. Then, Zhu Laosan continued to arrange troops and dispatched many military generals to take orders one after another. Soon, there were continuous fighting sounds outside the city.
But when he stood on the top of the city, he saw that the attacking and defense were full of killing sounds and fighting in a row; but after careful observation, he found that the casualties of each other were not significant under the close forces, but more were bluffing in the crossbow shooting, which seemed to have some spare strength.
However, this was as expected by him. After all, although the Wuning Army now has the advantage of military strength, it is in the most difficult period. It is fine to be trapped in the siege of the city. It will never fight with oneself wholeheartedly, resulting in excessive damage and vain and others.
After dark, they all shouted again and stopped the battle. In the bloody, smell of sweat and smell of armor from the evening breeze, as well as the faint whine and moaning sounds, Chen Jingyu, the commander of the right camp of Wuning Army, and the custodial grain station, appeared proudly behind Zhu Laosan who stood with his hands behind his back.
After all, he has not gained nothing in Henan in recent years. For example, as a transit place for northern properties and southern goods, he has developed and won over some vested interests in the three towns of Huai Shang. It is obviously time to fulfill the corresponding resources and arrangements; and the 100-day battle is just an opportunity to deliver messages.
"Why is it hard to stay here?"
Chen Jingyu couldn't help but speak:
"The two armies are facing each other, not more, not less, not less; it would be fine to exchange some news before, but it is absolutely impossible to betray now."
"Chen Youdu misunderstood. I made a special trip to invite you to come but I just wanted to ask something?"
Zhu Laosan then turned around and said slowly:
"What else can I ask? Someone will never reveal military information."
Chen Jingyu snatched without hesitation:
"Chen Youdu still misunderstood. I just want to ask the army to ask. The Cai thief has been slaughtering Xu Si for many years, and I don't know how many wives and children of many families died. Now Shi Pu has changed his course and Zhang Yiyi joins him. Is there no complaints in the army?"
Zhu Laosan said slowly and softly:
"So what, so what, no? Can we still change the current situation of hostility between the two armies in front of each other?"
Chen Jingyu seemed a little impatient and helpless and said:
"Of course it's OK. Doesn't Chen You want to protect the blood and blood of Xu Si's children, so as not to fall into unprovoked war and suffer in vain?"
Zhu Laosan said calmly:
"What's the point?"
Chen Jingyu's eyes moved, but he shook his head and said:
"It is said that the former Jieshuaizhizhi of Guizhen was suddenly expelled by his subordinates when he was working in Huai?"
Zhu Laosan suddenly turned to him and said:
"The left-behind looks down on a certain family too much. Now the army is full of Shi Shuai's pro-school party and confidant. What can I do with the power of a certain family alone? It is impossible to make the change of the coach in front of the formation. Don't mention this matter again!"
Chen Jingyu hesitated and said decisively:
"What if I personally led the army to restrain and respond to it?"
Zhu Laosan became tempted by:
"At present, I have to do everything I can to defend. How can I do this city? When the support from the capital is coming, it will be the time for the real decisive battle between each other. Even if you want to repent, it will be useless."
"Some family is just a guardian of the food table..."
Chen Jingyu said hesitantly:
"It's enough that Chen You is interested. I will lead my troops to restrain Shi Pu's formation; in this way, Chen You can lead like-minded people to return Pengcheng first and think what is the arrangement?"
However, Zhu Laosan interrupted him:
"This...is life and death..."
Chen Jingyu's eyes showed a clear heart-warming struggle.
"But it is even more prosperous and prosperous? It can not only protect the blood of Xu Si's children, but also go further?"
Zhu Laosan interrupted him again, then added another chip and said:
"As sincerity, I can deliver a batch of armored equipment before this camp, thinking what the guarantee is?"
"Thank you for your hard work at staying behind. You still need to go back and make a good summary of this matter in order to get a reply."
Chen Jingyu, who was obviously moved, suddenly calmed down:
"Okay. You have a whole day of hard work to make a living. When the next day comes, it will be the time to meet again!"
Zhu Laosan also said lightly:
At the same time, Zhu Xuan, the former general of the Tianping Army who led troops from the Taining Army to Yanzhou, also captured the city and landed with great fanfare, turning all the villages and towns everywhere into ruins and scorched earth ruins everywhere.
In Weizhou and Bozhou on the north bank of the Yellow River, with the sound of equipment bridges being built day and night; the army led by the Weibo Jiedu governor Le Yanzhen also gathered in two groups to linger in Yangliudu and Linhuangkou, waiting for the bridge crossing to be repaired, it will attack Yun and Pu land in Tianping Town, Nan'an.
In Luoyang City, Hu Zhen, the commander of the Yamen Guard, who led Changjiandu, Bashandu, Feiyun Army and other troops, and the commander of the Yamen Guard, who was responsible for suppressing the rebellion, encountered great trouble.
Although Wang Wu, the commander of the Feihuang Du, who was ambushed and arranged in the palace city, and his troops who had been transformed into firearms, suppressed and pacified the rebels of Li Tangbin who raided Hanjiacang City; he was suddenly attacked by sudden rebellion and internal strife from the city. Wang Yanqiu, led by several battalions, Luodu united troops in the name of reinforcements, and then collapsed with Danei of the Miyagi.
As a result, when Hu Zhen led his troops to the bottom of Luodu City, he was actually turned away by the defenders who rebelled one after another and had unknown enemy situation. He ran around the city wall to the Houzai Gate in the southwest corner of the city, and was able to find a guard who was still familiar and trustworthy and was put into the city.
However, such delays led to further deterioration and uncontrollability in the city. Those increasingly fierce rebels, mainly Luodu's unity, have broken and robbed the east-west armed warehouse and inner armor warehouse located in the north of the city, and armed more rebels who emerged from the city.
Therefore, when Hu Zhen rushed across the south of the city and arrived at the bank of Luoshui, which ran across the city from east to west, he found that the three Tianjin bridges on the water were already piled with firewood, charcoal and grease and blocked with other obstacles, and all the ships and crossing tools were also collected.
At this time, it was already dark, and there were countless rebels who lit up the fire on the other side of the shore, but the city arched along the Luoshui coast was bright. Then, these rebels who occupied the former imperial city Danei and Shangyang Palace City were still continuing to attack the Dongjia City, which was still guarded by someone on the side of the East Palace.
There were the families of most military generals, including Zhu Laosan. Some people shouted slogans such as "The Cai bandits have captured Zheng Bian", "The left-behind has been defeated and killed in Bozhou", and "The eldest son Zhu Youyu is the left-behind", and continued to disturb the hearts of the soldiers and horses who came to quell the rebellion.
