Emperor Zhenguan

Chapter 17 Entering Luoyang
In January of the second year of Yining, the army went out of Tongguan, took a short distance from Taolin, and was stationed in Changpingcang, Shanxian County.

The Majun commander Sheng Yanshi and the infantry commander Shi Danai led [-] troops as the vanguard.The first step is to enter Henan County, attack Mianchi, and take the springboard to capture Luoyang.

In mid-January, at the foot of Mianchi, the army arrived.

When the news of Li Yuanjun's coming back to Luoyang came back to Luoyang, there was an uproar in public opinion.Originally, it was disgusting that the Wagang local dog had crossed the border, but now Li Yuan stepped in, making Wang Shichong furious.

More importantly, Wang Shichong had just suffered a defeat.

Not long ago, Li Mi, who was baring her teeth at Jiangdu Yang Guang, suddenly turned around and bit Wang Shichong's man.This made Wang Shichong extremely confused. He was never attacked when he beat Dou Jiande, Xu Yuenlang, and Du Fuwei.Now he has been bitten by a Wagang native dog, leaving a mouthful of stinky hair.

Can this be tolerated?
No!

So, Wang Shichong took his younger brother and rushed to Li Mi, intending to make a big vote and make Li Mi a shit stick.

But it's a pity that it didn't work, instead, Li Mi beat him fiercely in Luokou.Now that Li Yuanjun came to commit the crime, Wang Shichong's heart was beating wildly.

In order to block Youyou's public, Wang Shichong imprisoned himself.Originally, King Yang Tong of Yue really wanted to take the opportunity to kill Wang Shichong, a powerful general, but Lu Chu and others said that it was not yet possible, and they had to wait for Li Mi to be defeated.

Let's teach Wang Shichong a lesson to the head office for a few days, but it still won't work, because at this time Li Yuanjun came to commit the crime, Yang Tong had to hold his nose and release Wang Shichong, and let him lead the army to deal with Li Yuanjun.

In this case, Wang Shichong led a large army to defend Luoyang.

But in fact, he really wanted to scold his mother.Lu Chu, Duan Da, Yuan Wendu, and Wei Jin are a group of stinky old nine who can't stand on the table. Standing in the temple and scolding Fang Qiu, they are more skilled than each other, and they have all kinds of strategies to defeat Li Yuanjun. Use no.

However, on second thought, Wang Shichong felt that the more useless these stinky old nine, the more suitable for him to fish in troubled waters, and had the last laugh.

So, he ordered to defend Luoyang and never attack!
Wang Shichong was certain that the weather was so cold that Li Yuanjun would retreat if he could not hold on for long.

Luoyang is full of food and grass, and the city wall is tall and strong. It is completely impossible for Li Yuanjun to conquer it in a short time.

Facts proved that his guess was correct. Although Li Yuanjun had [-] horses, he was helpless in the face of Luoyang.

"General, the enemy troops in Nancheng have withdrawn." Wang Shiyun reported.

Bingquan was regarded as the first life by Wang Shichong, and the generals under his command were all the children of the Wang family.

Wang Shiyun is his elder brother and is currently the general in charge of a single army.

"How about Li Yuanjun's fierce oil?"

"It's very powerful, and it burns when you touch it. Thanks to your early warning, otherwise the soldiers who defend the city today will suffer heavy losses."

"Could there be a master craftsman called a supervisor to imitate it?"

"Difficult." Wang Shiyun said truthfully: "The master said that this kind of kerosene is two different things from the kerosene currently used in Luoyang. Although they are the same, the smelting process is very complicated and cannot be produced in a short period of time."

Wang Shichong punched the wall and gritted his teeth, "Li Yuan old thief."

He had reason to be angry. He involved Li Mi in the East Capital, but Li Yuan successfully entered Guanzhong.

"Although strict defense can win, it also needs to teach Li Yuan a lesson."

Wang Shiyun asked, "What is the command of the general?"

"Send an order to order Guo Shiheng and Dong Jun to leave Luoyang and attack the enemy at night. Although there are many enemies, they will be exhausted after attacking the city for several days. Taking this opportunity to attack, they will surely win a great victory."

"As ordered!"

The full moon was hanging high, and the soldiers of Li Yuanjun were eating steamed bread slices and fried noodles soaked in tea in the tent, all smiling happily.Marching and fighting are always hard, and the food is mostly raw rice.Most of the dry foods are cakes as hard as slate.

Like today, a piece of steamed bread is easy to carry and tastes very good, which is no different from an unexpected joy for soldiers.

When the fried noodles are melted in the tea water, the amount is large and the amount is full, how can people not like it.

Due to the realistic conditions, the steamed bread slices and fried noodles produced by Li Zhiyun can only be guaranteed for about a month. Therefore, their logistics troops and horses have to send military rations every half a month.

A piece of steamed bread was put into his mouth, and Sheng Yanshi was too beautiful.

As a hero of the Yuan Cong, Sheng Yanshi was named the Hussar General, the Left Three Commanders, and the Yinqing Guanglu Doctor.On this expedition, he led [-] soldiers from the government.

At present, Li Jiancheng asked him to obey Li Zhiyun, the Duke of Chu, and led his army to block at Hulao Pass to guard against Li Mi, a native dog of Wagang.

"Report!"

"Tell me." Sheng Yanshi stuffed another piece of steamed bun into his mouth. If he could have a little wine, it would be even more beautiful.

"The marshal left Hulao Pass and went to Xingyang to check the enemy's situation."

"Nonsense!" Sheng Yanshi suddenly had a toothache in anger.

They came to beat Wang Shichong, not to find Li Mi. Isn't Li Zhiyun doing nothing when he is idle?

"Quickly send someone to find the marshal!"

I slandered ten thousand times in my heart, but Sheng Yanshi still acted very neatly.

The small boss is unreliable, so the big boss can only reprimand them. These part-time workers can only run behind and break their legs, praying not to take the blame.

Xingyang lived in the forest, and Li Zhiyun led five hundred elite cavalry to repair in the forest.

Du Ruhui, who joined the army in the record room, was extremely speechless. He was very comfortable working in the Chang'an county government office, but Li Zhiyun ordered him to join the army as a record room.

"Chu Gong seems to be very confident in the prince?"

"No, I have full confidence in Wang Shi." Li Zhiyun lay on the ground, Xie Shufang raised his legs and massaged the loose bones.

After riding for a long time, both legs will become numb and stiff.

Du Ruhui pondered for a while and asked, "What does Duke Chu mean, we are destined to return without success this time?"

"Yes, in the winter battle, although the problem of dry food has been solved, it is not yet time to break through the city and outside of Luoyang."

Not to mention that Luoyang is difficult to attack, it is difficult to deal with the hundreds of thousands of troops under Wang Shichong.

He couldn't figure out why Lao Li would steal chickens as soon as he slapped his head.

"Why didn't Duke Chu stop the king?" He was puzzled.

Li Zhiyun looked at him, obsidian-like pupils, which looked exceptionally bright under the moonlight.

"Your Majesty has the thoughts of Your Majesty."

Knowing that he had made a mistake, Du Ruhui stopped talking.

After a while, Li Zhiyun felt his legs recover a little, so he got up and changed positions with Uncle Xie.

"Wang Shichong was well prepared when attacking the city today, but neither the fire attack nor the trebuchet worked. From my point of view, there must be hundreds of large tanks buried around Luoyang to listen to the debate."

"Do you need to dig a tunnel?" Uncle Xie asked.

"It's not right." Li Zhiyun shook his head, "Aye said that when Yu Wenkai built the Eastern Capital, in order to guard against tunnels, the foundations outside Luoyang were extremely deep. If tunnels are to be dug, when will they be dug."

"It doesn't work either left or right." Uncle Xie closed his eyes.

After giving him a massage for a while, Li Zhiyun took Du Ruhui and others to explore the periphery.

Du Ruhui didn't know Li Zhiyun's plan. In his opinion, since there was no hope of attacking Wang Shichong, why did he leave Hulao Pass and enter Xingyang?What's more, they received news from Li Mi not long ago that they knew Wang Shichong's defeat in Luokou.At this time, shouldn't he avoid contact with Li Mi?

He couldn't understand Li Zhiyun a little bit.

Xue Shou served as Li Zhiyun's chief clerk and counselor in military affairs.His nephew, Xue Yuanjing, joined the army as the law officer of the Duke of Chu.

The military system of the mansion in the early Tang Dynasty was an alienation of private songs. As the son of King Tang, Li Zhiyun, even if he did not deliberately raise troops, those mansion soldiers who followed him would recognize him as the military leader.In other words, Li Zhiyun's personal studio will be established naturally as Lao Li takes off.

"Mr. Chu, it's time to go back after you've been out for a long time. This place is Xingyang, so it's better to be careful in case Li Mi Youjun is on your side."

Last time, Xue Shou was frightened by Old Li because of the big hooligan Xue Ju.This time, I also wanted to avoid the limelight and leave Li Yuan's sight.
