Under Luoyang City, a large tent of the Wuhan Central Army was built.

Liu Xiu put his hands on the brazier, and the fire in the basin was transparent, making his face shine.

Several of his generals sat in a semicircle under the emperor's head. Wei Wei Qi held several letters in his hand, all of which were the war reports ahead.

After reading a war report about the trends of Xin'an, the cavalry commander Zang Gong took the lead in asking for battle and said: "Your Majesty, please give me a group of people. I am willing to take Xin'an for Your Majesty, Yiyang!"

Qingqi was not willing to fall behind, so he put down the silk book in his hand and said, "I am willing to lead the army to capture Gongxian, the Qian family!"

"No!" Liu Xiu simply refused, "Now our army is only Luoyang, Luoyang is the only thing we want to take over, and the rest are naturally looking down!"

He looked up and asked, "Feng Yi, how about Wang Liang? Are there any letters?"

Qingqi picked up the silk book, took out a letter and looked at it, and said, "Premier Feng occupied Yanshi, and the former general was stationed at the city. The two worked together to resist Liu Mao. Liu Mao's army had surrounded Yanshi, but it seemed that he had no intention of entering Luoyang."

"He dared not!" Liu Xiu said: "If Liu Mao advances to Luoyang, Feng Yi and Wang Liang will follow him. When he arrives at the city of Luoyang and fights our army, Feng Yi's troops will attack him and attack them from the front and back, and Liu Mao is in danger of destruction."

Qingqi nodded and said, "Your Majesty is right. I believe Liu Mao thought of this and stayed in Yanshi and stopped moving westward."

Liu Xiu frowned again and said, "But Yanshi is only a hundred miles away from Luoyang. If Luoyang is in danger, Liu Mao can come to reinforce at any time. Liu Mao's troops are very strong and difficult to deal with. If he comes, it will be very unfavorable to our army's attack on Luoyang... But I believe that Feng Yi and Wang Liang will definitely keep Liu Mao in a tight position. It's a pity that I can't eat the food in Yancheng!"

Zang Gong said: "Your Majesty does not have to worry about military rations. The river is frozen so strong. The grain trucks can come straight from the ice. The grain from Hanoi is enough for the army to eat."

"This frozen river is unreliable, and the most reliable one is Mengjindu." Liu Xiu sighed and suddenly asked, "Have the bandits in Mengjindu have not moved yet?"

Seeing that Xiaoqi shook his head, Liu Xiu said, "This is strange. Logically speaking, our army passed by Mengjin and forced Luoyang to chase him to rescue him. Why is it so stable? It seems that there is no emperor in Luoyang City!"

Qingqi said: "Go back to Your Majesty, the Cattle Herding Emperor is in Luoyang. Today, many people saw the Luoyang Emperor's ceremonial guard, and it was on the city wall. I guess the Cattle Herding Emperor came around and went back."

Liu Xiu nodded and said, "If this happens, it will be strange if Mengjindu doesn't send troops... It seems that he can only seize it, so he will leave it to Pi Tong and Geng Chun in Hanoi!"

Liu Xiu mobilized more than 200,000 troops this time, led by Feng Yi and Wang Liang to stare at Liu Mao. He brought 120,000 people straight to Luoyang, and 50,000 troops gathered in Hanoi. On the north bank of the river, Pi Tong and Geng Chun were led by Pi Tong to prevent the Han army from crossing north and could also go south to join the battle at any time.

Liu Xiu originally wanted to have a "surrounding the points to attack the aid", but he didn't expect that except for Liu Mao, there were not many reinforcements chasing the surrounding cities of Luoyang. All the generals said that in order to attack Yingchuan, the troops in Yiluo were very empty, and there were no soldiers in the surrounding cities.

Liu Xiu was a little suspicious. Perhaps it wasn't that there were few soldiers around him, but that there were many soldiers in Luoyang and were enough to defend him, so Liu Yu was confident. No matter what, he wanted to attack the city, and he had to do a real battle to know the truth.

Liu Xiu held the desk with both hands and said, "Using 20,000 cavalry as the periphery to guard against reinforcements from the bandits, all the rest of the people besieged Luoyang with me. The winners and losses will be won and defeated in one fell swoop, and work hard!"

The generals agreed, and they were ready to do a big fight.

After Liu Xiu became emperor, he had fewer people on the battlefield, but every time he fought in person, he would definitely return with a great victory. The generals felt that there would be no surprises this time. The emperor always brought them great confidence, as if with him, nothing was invincible. With the Emperor of War God, Luoyang, which they had not won for several years, could open their arms this time.

In Luoyang City, night fell, and the military and civilians who had been busy all day fell asleep.

However, the prefect of Henan Guo Ji was unable to sleep. Because he couldn't sleep, he simply got up and put on his clothes, went out with a knife, walked slowly, went up to the top of the west city wall, and inspected everywhere.

While walking, Guo Ji suddenly saw the infantry captain Di Lun. He was on the city at this time and said to Guo Ji: "Duke Guo! Luoyang has been stationed in a large army for a long time. The city is solid and the equipment is very complete. I saw that Guo Gong is skilled in the way of defense and everything is arranged properly, and there is only one thing. I have heard that turtle and death are not the way to defend the city. If you want to defend it, you must attack. I am willing to be the one who attacks. Please ask the prefect to recruit three thousand death-death men to be used for attacking."

The fifth reunion was promoted to the captain of the Battle of Yiluo, and was highly valued by Liu Mao. Liu Mao went to Hulao and Chenggao. The fifth reunion accompanied him. A few days ago, he had something to do and returned to Luoyang for business, but was blocked in Luoyang and could not return to the army.

There was no subordinate of him here, he was just a bachelor here. But when the fifth reunion saw the army besieging the city, he was even more concerned than the generals of Luoyang. He went up to the city day and night, looked around and asked, and then discussed with Guo Ji the way to defend the city.

Because he had led the clan to guard the fort and was very proficient in the defense and was very pertinent, Guo Ji attached great importance to him. At this time, he saw that he wanted to recruit sharp soldiers to attack, and he said happily: "I am just looking for generals who dare to die and those who dare to die. When they are in danger, I will never be able to use them. What Bo Yu said is correct, how can I be correct? How can I be correct?"

The two discussed for a while and decided on the matter. The fifth reunion asked: "Why did Mr. Guo put His Majesty's ceremonial guard on the top of the city? Are you afraid that the enemy will not attack?"

"That's true." Guo Ji nodded and said, "Your Majesty is now only two hundred miles away from Luoyang. If the enemy army finds out, the army will attack. How can you resist the small city of the Liu family? Therefore, I thought of this method and wanted to gather the enemy in Luoyang City to buy some time for Your Majesty to return to Guanzhong."

Wu Lun smiled and said, "Mr. Guo is a loyal and brave man. He uses his body as bait to win the opportunity to return to the emperor. But according to his opinion, His Majesty's temperament may not necessarily abandon Luoyang and return to Guanzhong."

"I have sent someone to go to the Cang family quickly and ask Your Majesty to travel west. I wonder if Your Majesty can obey. This is the time of crisis. I hope Your Majesty will not show off his courage, but will focus on his own body and the country and the country. I only hope Your Majesty will return to Guanzhong steadily. If Your Majesty makes any mistakes, the world will inevitably be shaken and the country will be in danger of overthrow. Alas, I dare not even think about this."

The fifth reunion said: "Mr. Guo has been worried too much. Your Majesty has his own opinions. As ministers, we can only persuade them with all our hearts."

Guo Ji thought of the dark and tall young emperor, and heard that Yingchuan was fighting so much that he couldn't sit still and wanted to go to Yingchuan. If the ministers hadn't chased him back quickly, His Majesty would have arrived in Yingchuan long ago.

Now that I heard that Luoyang is gathering, will the emperor return to Luoyang directly? That would be a disaster.
