For more than a hundred years, the Western Army and Dangxiang have been fighting continuously, and have achieved great success in opening borders and expanding borders. The soldiers are brave and good at fighting, and brave generals have emerged in many ways. This time, Chihu invaded the south, and the court issued an edict to the soldiers and horses of the world to serve the king. The biggest expectation is still on the head of the Western Army.

However, when the northern expedition to Yan, the court transferred Jingsheng and Xuanwu's main forces to Hedong to participate in the war. In order to prevent the Dangxiang people from making any changes, other major troops of the Western Army were mainly filled in border prefectures bordering Dangxiang.

The Chihu people brazenly tore up the peace agreement. After the Tianxiong Army, the Jingsheng and Xuanwu armies were destroyed one after another in Yunshuo. The situation changed so quickly that it was dazzling.

The emperor was awarded the imperial edict to Chang'an Prefecture. Miao Yanxiong, the chief officer of the horse and infantry capital of all the roads in Shaanxi, and Zheng Huaizhong, the chief officer of the Qinfeng Road, was appointed as the chief officer of the military commander of the military commander of the military commander of the military commander of the military commander of the military commander of the military commander of the military commander of the military commander of the Shaanxi Transportation Commander Gao Chunnian served as the military commander of the military commander of the military commander of the military commander of the military commander of the military commander of the military commander of the military commander of the military commander of the military commander of the military commander of the military commander of the military commander of the military commander of the military commander of the military commander of the military commander of the military commander of the military commander of the military commander of the military commander of the military commander of the military commander of the military commander of the military commander of the military commander of the military commander

The front army, mainly cavalrymen, was delayed until January 20th before the assembly was completed in the Chang'an Prefecture where the Shaanxi Transportation Envoy and the Qinfeng Road Strategy and Pacification Envoy were located.

However, in the Great Vietnamese Shaanxi, there are few mountains and rivers; the Western Army has been fighting with the Dangxiang people for more than a hundred years, but it mainly focuses on attacks and captures by the passers-by, and rarely has long-term interspersed into the hinterland controlled by the Dangxiang people. The source of excellent war horses is limited and the number of cavalrymen in the entire Western Army is extremely limited; the combat is mainly to cover the flanks, which is embarrassing.

Therefore, even if the Western Army gathered 10,000 cavalry as the front army, they did not dare to advance east rashly.

It was delayed until early February, and when the 40,000 troops and horses of the left and right troops were assembled, the first batch of Western Army aided troops and 50,000 troops were led by Zheng Huaizhong, deputy chief of the King's Camp, and advanced eastward from Chang'an Prefecture and Tongguan.

In June of February, Zheng Huaizhong personally entered Hangu Pass by the cavalry of the front army; February 6th was also the day when Cao Shi led the Han army in Lanzhou to enter the city of Gong County.

At this time, the soldiers and horses on the west wing of Chihu also arrived in front of Hangu Pass.

If Cao Shili's troops could successfully capture Gongxian, Yanshi and other cities and completely control the passages on the northern foot of Songshan Mountain, the Chihu people would send their main troops to advance westward and penetrate west of Mengjin, and ultimately achieve the intention of blocking the Western Army's troops and horses at Hangu Pass and not advancing eastward.

However, Cao Shili was unable to capture Gong County until the 13th day.

Chihu was in Yanshi, and the West Wing side division west of Mengjin had only 3,000 cavalry. Of course, it was impossible to confront the reinforcements with the Western Army who had already entered Hangu Pass with 50,000 troops.

Before making full preparations, the commander of the Chihu East Army did not dare to rashly transfer 20,000 to 30,000 elite cavalrymen to Luoyang, west of Mengjin, and meet with the West Wing side division when the retreat route might be cut off in Gongxian.

In that case, if you are not careful, the entire western wing soldiers will most likely suffer a catastrophe.

During this period, the Western Army's aid division also used the undefeated city walls west of Mengjin and Luoyang to move the troops eastward step by step.

The Chihu partial division had only 3,000 cavalry on the west wing. Seeing that the space where it was interspersed was compressed step by step, it could only move back step by step.

Cao Shili withdrew from Gongxian City, which was actually forced by the situation west of Mengjin and Yanshi. Especially when he gave up the siege, the vanguards of the Western Army's aid division had already arrived at the west bank of the Yiluo River on the southeast foot of Mangshan, and would cross the Yiluo River to encircle Yanshi at any time.

At this time, the weather had warmed up a lot, and the ice layer on the Yiluo River was thin.

Zheng Huaizhong sent a group of troops to go from the upper reaches of the Yiluo River to the east bank of the Yiluo River. On the 16th, the cavalrymen in the Chihu West Wing had to give up Yanshi and retreat to the Yiluo River mouth camp in the north of Gong County.

The Western Army aid division recovered Yanshi on the 17th; at this point, Gong County went south to Yanshi, and the passage with Luoyang and Mengjin south to the west was completely opened.

"Zheng Huaizhong, deputy chief of the military commander of the Shaanxi Road Army and the military commander of the Shaanxi Road Army and the military commander of the Shaanxi Road Army and the military commander of the Shaanxi Road Army and the military commander of the Beijing Northwest Road Army and the military commander of the Beijing Road Army and the military commander of the Beijing Road Army and the military commander of the Beijing Northwest Road, met Your Highness!"

King Jing Zhao Tuan led his troops to escort him into Gong County. Qiao Jien, Chen Yougui, Gao Huihong and others immediately hoped that King Jing Zhao Tuan could go to Luoyang City, where the city was tall and deep.

Although King Jing Zhao Tuan insisted on not going to Luoyang City where the supervisors of the Northwest Road of Jing, Chihu's side command quickly bypassed Hulao Pass and entered Gongxian and Yanshi, blocking the road from Gongxian to Luoyang, the news that King Jing Zhao Tuan had already reached Luoyang.

In Luoyang Prefecture, the main force of the imperial guards, followed the Northwest Road of Beijing and the Zhengzhou defense envoy, Sun Huacheng, went to Zhengzhou to fight against the enemy. In addition to thousands of soldiers and village warriors, only three thousand imperial guards were left to assist in the defense in Luoyang City.

Wu Wenche, the transshipment commander who stayed in Luoyang, did not dare to send troops to reinforce Gong County at that time.

Although the vanguard camp at this time was stationed at the mouth of the Yiluo River three or four miles north of Gong County, the Western Army aid division had recovered Yanshi and the passage from Luoyang to Gong County was also opened. Wu Wenche did not dare to be negligent. He immediately entered the Gong County city with Zheng Huaizhong, deputy commander of the Western Army aid division, Gao Chunnian, and others, surrounded by the vanguard troops.

"No need to be polite. Zheng Jingluo and all the men will go into the palace to talk!" King Jing Zhao Tuan personally walked to the side hall to welcome Zheng Huaizhong, Gao Chunnian, Wu Wenche and the vanguard of the Western Army's aid division to come and invite them to come into the palace to talk.

It was fine for Zheng Huaizhong, Gao Chunnian and others to follow King Jing Zhao Tuan calmly and walk into the side hall; Wu Wenche looked at the expressions of King Jing and Qian Shangduan and others beside King Jing with nervousness.

Judging from the situation when Gong County was besieged, Wu Wenche did not think that there was anything wrong with him pulling his limited troops tightly in Luoyang City, but it did not mean that King Jing died in Gong County or was captured by the Chihu people as Gong County fell. He did not need to bear the blame for this.

Although Gong County finally defended it, this does not mean that King Jing has no resentment towards him.

Wu Wenche followed Gao Chunnian into the hall, feeling uneasy.

Even in his opinion, King Jing, who was not favored by the government, could not decide his future, but if he was scolded in person, it would be a mess.

"Wu Wenche, why do you seem to be out of your mind? It is because the barbarians have not yet been destroyed and Bianliang is still surrounded. Are you feeling uneasy?" King Jing Zhao Tuan walked into the side hall, but did not rush to invite everyone to take their seats. Instead, he looked at Wu Wenche with interest and asked.

"Bianliang is still trapped in a heavy siege and has not been resolved. The barbarians have ravaged the Hehuai River and Huai River. Wen Che is indeed unable to sleep or eat. He hates his weak body and cannot go on the battlefield to kill the thieves himself," Wu Wenche bowed and said, "Your Highness takes refuge in Gong County and has been harassing the enemy for so many days. Wen Che cannot help. He delayed his presence today and felt even more guilty. He also asked the palace to punish him!"

"The gains and losses of Luoyang are related to the safety of the country. If you don't act rashly and lightly for me, you will do the Great Yue and guard Luoyang for the country. How can you do it?"

King Jing laughed,

"Besides, when I arrived in Gong County, it was not that I had no chance to take refuge in Luoyang. Qiao Ji'en and Gao Huihong both advised me to go to Luoyang, but I did not agree. I asked Qiao Ji'en at that time, Gao Huihong: Dayue is in this national crisis, the mountains and rivers are broken, and the people are slaughtered. As a prince, I did not stand up and summoned the soldiers and civilians to defend the city, but I was reluctant to leave and avoid it. How could I be worthy of my ancestors of Zhao? I did not leave, and I decided to stay in Gong County to preside over the defense. Look, I will still defend Gong County firmly, right?"

Wu Wenche, Zheng Huaizhong, Gao Chunnian and others were both shocked and suspicious and looked at Qiao Jien, Chen Yougui, Gao Huihong and others.

Yes, King Jing was in Gong County, not only Gao Huihong reported before Gong County was besieged, but Caizhou also sent a letter to mention it; even when the enemy troops attacked Gong County, Mengjin's sentry spies stood on the Mang Mountain on the other side of the Yiluo River, and could see generally how fierce the offense and defense were.

However, they did not know the specific process of Gongxian's defense, nor did they know what role King Jing played in it.

They even thought that King Jing simply took refuge and fled to Gong County. The reason why Gong County was able to defend was that Qiao Jien, Chen Yougui, Gao Huihong and others presided over.

At this time, we entered the side hall. Although King Jing had not invited everyone to take a seat, from the order that Qian Shangduan and his men followed King Jing, not only Wu Wenche, Zheng Huaizhong, and Gao Chunnian all saw some problems.

Zheng Huaizhong was the governor of Qin Fenglu. Gao Chunnian was a scholar and was in charge of the wealth and food of the fifth route of Shaanxi, and his actual status was higher.

Although they did not work on Northwest Road in Jing, as chief officials of the imperial court, they went to Chang'an Prefecture to take office or returned to Bianliang to report their duties. Every time they passed through Gong County, they would come to visit the imperial tomb.

Therefore, they knew Qiao Jien, Chen Yougui and Gong County Magistrate Gao Huihong.

If the Gong County garrison was hosted by Qiao, Chen and Gao, they would generally have to follow King Jing into the side hall, and at most let King Jing’s mansion Yishan Qian Shangduan be among them.

As the tomb guard, Qiao Jien's rank was not inferior to Yishan of the royal palace. But now, not only Qian Shangduan walked before Qiao Jien alone, but also seven or eight generals wearing armor and unremoved swords all walked before Qiao Jien and others to enter the side hall; while Qiao Jien, Chen Yougui, Gao Huihong and others looked as if they were taken for granted.

King Jing is the most prominent, so he can certainly disrupt the order of seniority according to the order of Pin Yilun, but so many people enter the hall to sit, there should be an explanation, a structure, right?

Is it ranking by the size of the merits of defending the city?

Qiao Jien, Chen Yougui, and Gao Huihong are not the real people who preside over the city?

"We learned that Your Highness is in Gong County and was worried about His Highness's safety. We came to see you in a hurry, but we still didn't know the details of Gong County's defense. We also asked Your Highness to tell you that when you drive the captives out of the Central Plains, you can also ask for the merits for everyone." Gao Chunnian said with a bow.

Zhengzhou was invaded, and the Northwest Road Management Staff Pacification Envoy, and Zhengzhou Defense Envoy Sun Huacheng was not aware of his life and death, so the Western Army's aid division was not subject to Sun Huacheng's restraint.

Therefore, Miao Yanxiong, the chief manager of the military commander of the various camps in Shaanxi, who were still in Tongguan, and Zheng Huaizhong, the deputy chief manager of the military commander of the military commander of the military commander of the military commander of the military commander of the military commander of the military commander of the military commander of the military commander of the military commander of the military commander of the military commander of the military commander of the military commander of the military commander of the military commander of the military commander of the military commander of the military commander of the military commander of the military commander of the military commander of the military commander of the military commander of the military commander of the military commander of the military commander of the military commander of the military commander of the military commander of the military commander of the military commander of the military commander of the military commander of the military commander of the military commander of the military commander of the military commander of the military commander of the military commander of the military commander of the military commander of the military command

"Ah, I haven't recommended it for you yet..." King Jing Zhao Tuan seemed to think of Zheng Huaizhong, Gao Chunnian, Wu Wenche and others who didn't recognize Xu Huai, Wang Ju, Lu Xiong, Xu Wujiang and others...
