Xuchang, the capital of the emperor.

The sun shines on the city wall, half blowing on the wall, and half gravel.

Liu Nong pulled his horse under the ruined city wall and looked up at Xuchang. But he saw that the city wall as high as ten feet tall was green and black, and sometimes there were still yellow pieces, like splicing of rotten cloth. The green ones were the Han bricks of the past, and the burning of old traces, and the yellow ones were to collapse the soil to make up for the shortcomings.

I looked straight at the city gate, which looked like a rotten board, grayish-white. The vermilion lacquer and copper nails had fallen off, and the inside was covered with pits, which was obviously a heavy object that had hit.

"Clang"

At this moment, a harsh sound of gold and iron twisting each other sounded, and then the embroidered city gate was half twisted by the iron chain, but accidentally scraped the gravel on the ground and got stuck halfway.

“Crunch, crunch!”

Then, bursts of shouts were heard from afar, and the dilapidated city gate was like a 60-year-old man staggering. Its momentum was really worrying, and I was afraid that it would fall apart.

"Hock it, hoof it"

As soon as the city gate opened, a team of knights rushed towards him. The man on the left wore a tall crown, about fifteen or sixteen years old, with a beautiful face and a pretty face, which was quite similar to that of Miss Xun. Another man was covered with a helmet and armor, and the corners of his eyebrows were similar to that of Han Ling. I don’t know if it was Han Li or Han Xu.

When Gao Guanzhe saw Madam Xun, he was happy. He whipped his whip and flew in front of him. When he was about to approach Madam Xun, he waved his hand to speak, but he saw Liu Nong again, and his eyebrows changed, and his eyebrows were condensed into the word "Chuan". He was stunned for a while, and then he bowed: "Yingchuan Xun Rui, have you seen Mr. Liu!"

Liu Nong bowed his hand and was about to speak.

Xun Rui turned his head and looked at Miss Xun, smiling: "Sister, how are you doing recently? How are you doing? My mother often remembers you, why did you go to Runan but don't return to Xiangyang?" As he said that, he glanced at Liu Nong.

After a few hurried times, Liu Nong lifted the horse's reins slightly, his expression a little unnatural.

Madam Xun frowned and glanced at Xun Rui, and said angrily: "Where you being a guest outside the door is not a way to treat guests? Take your lead quickly and don't say more! This is military information, so how can you miss it!"

"Oh, what my sister said is very much."

Xun Rui was afraid of his sister since childhood. When he saw that his sister was still handsome, he immediately laughed and led the army into the city.

Liu Nong and the cavalry generals met each other, and it was Han Li. A month ago, he replaced Zu Daozhong by the order of Zu Yuzhou and led his army to Xuchang.

Xuchang City is extremely large, with two cities inside and outside, which can accommodate hundreds of thousands of people. Nowadays, there are only tens of thousands of residents, and most of them are refugees. After Zu Ti recovered this place, the Yingchuan gentry who lived in Xiangyang and other places sent people to return to the north, and the Xun family was one of them. In the city, Zu Yuzhou held 3,000 troops all year round, and there were still various gentry tribes to protect each other.

There was no one living in the outer city, so it was where the army stationed the food. Han Li rode his horse and jogged, informing Liu Nong of the situation in the north.

Now, it was early October. A few days ago, Shi Le tuned Hulao and the Hanoi defenders to support Chenliu. When Li Ju heard about it, he was overjoyed and had no time to transfer his troops. He raised 3,000 troops in Yanshi to attack Luoyang, and rushed to send an edict to the counties while running, and quickly came to besiege Luoyang. However, he bumped into Liu Yao's vanguard Liu Yue. The two armies met in Luoyang. Li Ju was defeated by Liu Yue and was defeated by him and retreated fifty miles.

When Liu Yue was about to enter Xingyang, Han Qian led a 30,000 army to Linluoyang, and attacked the back and defeated Liu Yue's 5,000 vanguard cavalry.

Luoyang City is strong and there are still five thousand defenders, which is not something that can be taken in a few days. Han Qian did not rush to capture Luoyang, but instead camped in the western border, waiting for Liu Yao. At the hour of Mao, Liu Yao personally led 10,500 cavalry to step into the west of Luoyang.

When Li Ju heard that Han Qian defeated Liu Yue, he hurriedly consolidated his army of 8,000 and entered Luoyang again. He saw Han Qian and Liu Yao face the western border of Luoyang. He made a quick decision to capture the east of Luoyang and restrain the defenders in the city. However, he suddenly suffered a blow on his back. General Hu Yanmo, the general of Dongjiang under Liu Yao's tent, led 5,000 light cavalry to attack. Unpredictable, Li Ju was defeated again and had to collect the remaining soldiers in the East border to wait for the subsequent Xingyang army and the siege equipment.

Hu Yanmo was about to enter Luoyang, but he was afraid that Liu Yao would make a mistake, so he joined forces with Liu Yao and Liu Yue's remnants to join forces with Luoyang West.

The war thus entered a state of anxiety, and Luoyang was only more than a hundred miles west of Xuchang. At this time, Xuchang was so important.

Food and grass are the way of life and death. Han Qian's 30,000 troops seemed to be sent from the State of Chen, but in fact they came from Xuchang. Zu Ti invited Liu Nong to Yingchuan, but he was protecting the granary and the granary road. At first, Liu Yao decided to be confused, and after a long time, he would definitely be aware of it.

Liu Nong stood on the top of a ten-foot wall, pressed his sword, looked at Luoyang from afar, his heart was undulating, and he rolled in his arms to attack the plot. Han Qian's move was the right way. Once Shi Le transferred Hulao and the Hanoi defenders, the conspiracy would turn into an open plot. Liu Yao was fighting with Zhang Qi in the northwest, and it was the ultimate to be able to fight more than 20,000 troops to come. As long as Han Qian defeated Liu Yao, he would be able to seize Luoyang again, and he would have no worries. However, Zu Yuzhou divided 30,000 troops to come, and the place of Chenliu, Yuzhou and Yanzhou troops would have only 50,000 left, which might resist Shi Le's 70,000 iron cavalry?

Time, when time is tight, if Han Qian quickly defeats the enemy in Luoyang and then fights against the weak Hulao Pass, Shi Le will be attacked from both sides!

Not only can you get Luoyang, but you can also get Chenliu!!

"Xuchang, the past is extremely beautiful"

Miss Xun came to the city wall at some point, looked at Liu Nong, looked at Xuchang under the sunset, and smiled. The autumn wind was chaotic with the red silk on her forehead, flying like silk squids, and it was beautiful for a while.

Liu Nong asked with a smile: "When was the year when the little lady left Xuchang?"

Madam Xun faced the setting sun, narrowed her eyes, tampered with a gentle smile: "In the sixth year of Yongjia, Guan Niang and Ah Father, Mother, Ah Brother left Xuchang through this gate. At that time, Ah Brother was naughty and cried and refused to leave. Guan Niang broke the plum on the Tao and gave it to Ah Brother. Ah Brother ate it, and was extremely bitter and cried endlessly." When he said this, he pointed to a place outside the city and shouted: "It's that bitter plum!"

"Sixth Year of Yongjia"

Liu Nong remembered the sixth year of Yongjia, when Liu Yin was fleeing with their mother and son, with a slightly stunned expression.

Shaoqing calmed down and followed the fingers of Madam Xun. It was next to the Great Dao. He smiled and said, "Li Bi is beside the Dao. He didn't expect that Madam was the young one."

"Hmph!", "Puchi"

Madam Xun snorted coldly at first, but then she couldn't hold it in and smiled sweetly. Her smile was different from the quietness of Bridge Travel, and it was not as elegant as Lu Shuyao, nor was it as dignified as Gu Huiwei, but she had her own style, just like March, when the winter snow melted and early spring came back.

The two walked side by side down the city wall, and continued various arrangements as they walked.

Mrs. Xun said: "The food route is very dense. It is not through the Yangcheng Pass, but it goes from the Yangcheng Road to the west of Luoyang. Lei Fence Guard has been sent. Han Li saw that you were leading the army to come, and he was afraid that Xun's brother's troops would not be able to protect the food, so he wanted to lead the army to protect the food. In my opinion, Han Li led the infantry army, and I, Shangcai Bacheng, was a cavalry. If our army entered Yangcheng as a basis, we would definitely protect the food route of a hundred miles." As he said that, he looked at Liu Nong and added: "Yingchuan is a grain silo, and there is no way to make any mistakes. The cavalry is quick and can return to rescue him calmly when encountering problems!" The army would not station the grain in front of the battle, but would definitely station the safe stronghold in the rear and enter the food route.

Liu Nong heard her openly talk about Xun's army and kept talking about our army. He was inexplicably in a good mood. He stepped on his own slanted shadow and smiled: "Since we come to Yingchuan, we should work hard to protect our food, help Han Zhe defeat Liu Hu and seize Luoyang. This strategy is well-known and feasible."

Madam Xun said, "If this is the case, Guan Niang will be the army, you." He paused and tilted his head to look at Liu Nong.

Liu Nong was stunned for a moment, smiled and waved his hand, "I should follow you, obey the order!" Then, he suddenly lowered his head and jumped to the left quickly, looking quite strange.

"Why are you the princess?"

Madam Xun's expression suddenly became stunned, then her eyes stagnated, and she smiled sweetly. Only then did she realize that Liu Nong had been stepping on her shadow. She immediately followed her and the two stepped on her shadow toward the military camp.

The little girl is tall and tall, six and a half feet away, which seems to be different from Liu Nong. One is a red armor and a white robe, and the other is a white robe ink armor. It makes people look at it at first sight and it gives a strong contrast, which is very different but particularly in line.

October 15th, the next Yuan Festival.

As soon as you enter the Xiayuan, the cold and warmth suddenly change, and the north wind blows on your face.

In Luoyang City, both east and west, Li Ju led his army to attack Luoyang East City. He saw a ladder like a forest, arrows were like locusts, and shouting to kill and kill the sky. The dense ants climbed the walls ten feet high, while the city was on the city, the water was like a river, the fallen trees were like a mountain collapse, scalding, and smashing piles after pile.

The Lu Gong, who looked like a giant turtle, collided with a car, as high as eight zhang, three zhang wide and five zhang long, and was pushed forward by hundreds of soldiers.

"put!"

With a command, in an instant, the powerful crossbow and the stone cannon flew together, smashing the city wall into a burst of flowers. From time to time, I heard the city wall screaming like a ghost howl, and the broken limbs and bodies were like birds flying.

"City crossbow, defeat the car crash!"

"Soul!"

After a while, the strong crossbow on the city wall was as tight as the tide, and the collision car was stabbed into a pile of holes and blood flowed into a river.

"Bangbangbang"

The sound of golden drums sounded, and the soldiers attacked the city were like waves rolling back.

Li Ju stayed at the high place of the central army and narrowed his eyes to observe the situation. The weather became colder, but his face was covered in sweat. He couldn't help but wiped his face, and swung his sweat like a pearl, thinking to himself: Luoyang is a city in the world, easy to defend but difficult to attack, and it is not something to be taken overnight. Then he thought again: "If Han Qian wins, this city will be broken just around the corner!" Thinking of this, he couldn't help but ride a horse to a higher place and look to the west of Luoyang.

In the western border of Luoyang, the war has stopped.

Blood flowed slowly on the battlefield of the ten miles, and thick smoke rolled endlessly. Corpse lying all over the grass, swords, guns, swords and halberds were inserted into the ground. The ownerless horses carried their blank eyes, and the gray-eyed ones called, but could not wake up the already broken master.

"Huhanqian!!"

Liu Yao's eyes were like fire, and he whipped the horse wildly, passing through the sea of ​​blood. Then, he raised his head high and pointed the gun at the Han Qian army slowly retreating to the east. His face turned blood red and shouted loudly. In just ten days, the two armies fought five times. He lost four times in five battles, and 23,000 iron cavalry, and now only 80% remain.

"His Majesty!"

Hu Yanmo rushed to the slope, glanced at Liu Yao, and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, the Luoyang defenders are restrained by Li Ju, and it is difficult to go out of the city to attack." He paused and said, "Now, Han Qian's army is extremely strong. According to the opinions of his ministers, the Luoyang power is probably difficult. Your Majesty's best to retreat temporarily and wait for the next day. If there is any abnormal movement, the iron cavalry should be resurrected! What's more, King Zhao was in Luoyang and gathered a large army in Chenliu. Why did Your Majesty defend the city for him?"

"Bang!!"

Liu Yao suddenly waved an empty whip, almost whipped Yanmo, and shouted angrily: "Don't talk nonsense! Once you enter Luoyang, how can you return without success! Although Han Qian won, he would win, but he looked at his army's strength and all of them were narrowly defeated. Han slaves were just things on the plate! At that time, if King Zhao lost Luoyang, how could he beg me for shamelessness!" After saying that, he took the horse and left.

"Oh, now Luoyang is like a Li next to the road." Hu Yanmo shook his head and slapped his horse to catch up.

Before Liu Yao turned around, he followed the horse's hooves and slammed his bloated and fat body and said coldly: "Where is Liu Yue?"

Hu Yanmo didn't dare to persuade him anymore and said in a humming voice: "I guess he has entered Yingchuan!" To be continued.
