After everyone left, Song Yanji only said to Zhang Deshou: "For the Tang Dynasty, Luoyang is like taking things out of his bag, and the court must have given up a long time ago. It is the top priority for us to go to Heling."

Immediately, Song Yanji explained softly.

First of all, Emperor Zhaozong was the orthodox of the former Tang Dynasty. If the Tang Dynasty really wanted to restore the country, it would inevitably be necessary to worship Heling, thereby showing his orthodox. If he and others worshiped him, they would definitely be known by the Tang Kingdom.

Secondly, Luoyang City is undercurrent now, but no one has a clear stand in favor of the Tang Kingdom. When he and others are in Heling, they will definitely be considered loyal to the Tang Kingdom, but they are young people. They can shirk their ignorance, and there is no burden for the family.

Zhang Deshou heard that the risks were small and the gains were great, and he couldn't help but feel moved.

Immediately, more than a dozen people were reorganized and secretly went to Heling to worship Emperor Zhaozong of Tang. In this way, Luoyang looked sideways.

Li Jia stayed in Tongguan longer than she thought.

Of course, in addition to rectifying the army, the biggest expense is waiting for the arrival of food.

As I said before, Guanzhong lacks food, so in order to transport food and grass, Jingnan Prefecture even dispatched 200,000 civilians to cross the Nanyang Basin and transport it to Tongguan. In just ten days, Tongguan gathered 100,000 stones of grain, and the loss was almost the same.

One hundred thousand stones of grain were only enough for his nearly 130,000 troops.

In addition to the 20,000 Imperial Cavalry, there are thousands of Guanzhong light cavalry, several times the infantry.

Only one month of food and grass made Li Jia a little uneasy, or made him hesitate.

He felt confident that he had enough food and his troops were victorious.

In other words, at this critical moment of decisive victory, he, a time traveler, was a little worried about gains and losses.

This is very normal, because the battles that unified the south before were almost crushed, but this time there was no 100% chance of winning, which made him particularly uncomfortable, especially when he was facing Zhao Kuangyin, who did not want to have a battle in Guandu.

Sometimes, he felt that instead of taking such a risk, the division between the north and the south was actually quite good.

However, the ambition to unify the world is always struggling in his heart, making him unable to move forward and retreat, and full of entanglement.

Seeing that the emperor was so hesitant, Zhang Weiqing and Pan Chongche directly chose to ask for a meeting.

"What's the matter with the two families?" Li Jia said softly.

"Report to Your Majesty, now tens of thousands of troops gather in Tongguan, spending all day without advancing. I am afraid that my morale will be exhausted and it will be difficult for me to repeat it."

Zhang Weiqing said it was rather obscure and came to advise him because he was worried about morale issues.

"I don't want to do this either!" Li Jia explained casually: "But now there is not enough food and supplies, and it is only for one month. Jingnan's loss has reached its limit. If it is a stalemate, I am afraid the consequences will be unimaginable."

"It's better to stay for a while, store more food and grass, and also see if Xiang Gong really surrendered."

"Your Majesty, it doesn't matter whether Xiang Gong surrenders." Pan Chongche further and said loudly: "The court's tens of thousands of troops, with the forces of Luoyang, will definitely not be able to defend it, and there is only one way to surrender."

"As for the lack of food and grass, we are much better than Kaifeng."

"The Tokyo court is becoming increasingly poor. If we cannot win in one battle and continue to delay, after the summer harvest, we may have more money and food. This is our enemy."

After hearing this advice, Li Jia finally felt a little cheered up, but she was still worried about gains and losses.

He rationally believed that the decisive battle to the north was more beneficial than disadvantages, but in terms of emotions and laziness, he was afraid of the fact that he had been rich for many years, and he did not want to lose his current life.

Seeing that the emperor was calm and decisive, but his mother-in-law and mother were hesitant, Zhang Weiqing immediately knew that His Majesty was a lucky person before the decisive battle.

He has also experienced these things and understood that the emperor has never commanded such a large-scale war, so he is inevitably worried about gains and losses. This is the long-term love of human beings, so he needs to be forced.

The wise and magical martial arts of the Lord are actually not always available.

"The army wandered in Tongguan, the imperial camp, and the local army obeyed military orders, but the Guanzhong vassal states were hesitant. Their patience had been eroded by our stay. They had secretly had close contacts and seemed to be unable to bear to say anything. Even the imperial camp seemed to be circulating in the fear of Song..."

Hearing this, Li Jiateng stood up, his face suddenly changed, and he was slapping himself in the face.

Yes, at the end of the strong crossbow, you can't wear Lu silk. If you stay there, the soldiers' fighting spirit will be completely wiped out. Is this a fart?

If you don’t do it well, you will become a big joke in history. How can you bear it?

"Distribute money and prepare the army, and three days later, march into Luoyang--"

Li Jia said loudly, as if he had vented the hesitation in his heart, leaving only a full face of confidence.

"No!" Zhang Weiqing and Pan Chongche responded in an instant, with a look of joy on their faces.

Guozhou is about five hundred miles away from Luoyang.

This is definitely not a small journey, so Li Jia did not take the previous steps, but went directly from Tongguan to Fenglingdu in Shanzhou.

That’s right, it was Fenglingdu, which saw Yang Guo’s lifelong life. This was the Yellow River Ferry. Countless ships gathered here to transport grain into Chang'an.

The arrival of the army made it crowded here. Du Shenjin, the governor of the Baoyi Army, was captured, so Fenglingdu was successfully obtained and then began to collect ships.

It is obvious that Li Jia just wanted to go down the river and take a boat from the Yellow River to reach Luoyang directly. The walk was too slow.

However, when we arrived at Sanmenxia, ​​which was the former Hangu Pass, due to the large gap and the fact that war horses were not conducive to boarding the boat, the army could only get off the boat and walk.

However, the Luoyang area is already a plain, and it has been easier to walk around. Along the way, many prefectures and counties have been recovered and Mianchi has also been seen.

When the army arrived in Xin'an County, only more than a hundred miles away from Luoyang, they received news of the scouts, and the Song army was ready for 100,000.

"Does Zhao Kuangyin actually want to fight me in Luoyang?"

Li Jia was surprised. Luoyang was not close to Kaifeng, and the food and grass consumption was really not small, which made him a little confused. Why was he soaring to the nearest and far away?

Luoyang, which was originally in his pocket, ran away again.

"Your Majesty, as far as I know, Zhao Kuangyin himself did not want to enter Luoyang, but there was his father's tomb near Luoyang, so for the sake of filial piety, he had to come west."

Wu Qing added softly.

As a result, Li Jia remembered that Zhao Kuangyin was born in Luoyang and his father was a figure among the imperial guards. Therefore, he was afraid that he would dig his ancestral tomb and break the Feng Shui dragon vein, so he had to come west.

"Am I like someone who doesn't know the host?"

Li Jia looked at everyone and said.
