Take the warehouse back to the end of the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 614
"Yeah, doesn't King Fu understand these things? Doesn't he know that once the Zhao thief breaks through Luoyang, he, King Fu, won't be able to fall, okay?

I really don't understand why King Fu is unwilling to borrow troops and pay.What we guard is not only Luoyang of the imperial court, but also Luoyang of his King Fu.

Back then, King Jin was taken over by Thief Zhao because he didn't want to pay for others, and it's the same for King Fu now.These princes are really unreasonable, unreasonable. "Liu Zeli kept yelling at King Fu in a low voice in the hall.

Ma Tingyu put down the teacup in his hand, and let out a long breath, "We can't rely on King Fu, and now we can only put it on the gentry in the city. As long as the gentry in the city is willing, there is still hope for defending Luoyang City. If the gentry in the city is not willing ,Then there's no way."

Ma Tingyu stood up from his chair. He looked at the people in the hall and said, "Everyone, let's quickly gather the gentry in the city and finish this matter as soon as possible. If the matter is finished, I'm afraid it will be too late." gone."

Under Ma Tingyu's order, the officials in the hall walked out of the yamen and walked towards the homes of the gentry in the city.

When Ma Tingyu and others gathered the gentry to deal with the matter of defending the city, Zhao Wen also led soldiers and horses to Luoyang City non-stop.

After almost two and a half days, Zhao Wen finally led his troops to the city of Luoyang.

Before Zhao Wen arrived in Luoyang City, Song Hu's people outside Luoyang City discovered Zhao Wen.

When Zhao Wen arrived outside Luoyang City, the leader of Song Hu's remaining guards and a few personal guards hurried to Zhao Wen's army.

Zhao Wen had just arrived outside Luoyang City, and before Zhao Wen could give the order to set up camp, Qianhu, who was left behind by Song Hu, hurried to Zhao Wen under the leadership of Zhao Wen's guards.

Zhao Wen stood in an open space in the center of the army, because the military tents had not been set up yet, so Zhao Wen could only stand here temporarily.

"The last general will be No. 20, nine thousand households, one thousand households. General Song stays behind in Luoyang to lead the troops. Together with the Premier League, I pay my respects to the commander-in-chief."

Tong Yingchao looked at Zhao Wen in front of him, respectfully saluted him, and said loudly.

Zhao Wen nodded, "Get up, how is the situation in Luoyang City?"

Zhao Wen looked at Tong Yingchao and asked slowly.

Tong Yingying stood up from the ground and pointed to Luoyang City, "My lord, since we arrived in Luoyang City, we have been staring at Luoyang City. From the beginning to now, no one in Luoyang City can come out. Now Luoyang City has been occupied by us. I'm trapped, and I'll wait for the commander-in-chief to take it down."

"It's not difficult to take a Luoyang city, and it can be taken within a day." Zhao Wen looked at the Luoyang city in front of him, and said: "Now gather your troops and set up the camp on the east side of Luoyang city. Wall, await my command."

"Obey!" Tong Yingchao clasped his fists at Zhao Wen and saluted, and then left with Zhao Wen's order.

After the Premier League left, Zhao Wen looked at Li Xiaosan, "Let the army spread out and surround Luoyang City one by one. Remember, all four walls surround it."

"Obey!" Li Xiaosan replied, and led a few messengers to the rear.

A few quarters of an hour later, the army led by Zhao Wen started to move and surrounded Luoyang City.

At this time, the soldiers in the army also began to set up camp.

When the moon passed the horizon, the military camp had already set up.

After setting up the big camp, Zhao Wen asked all the thousand households in the messenger general and the counselors at the level of thousand households to gather in his big tent.

Sitting in the big tent, Zhao Wen looked at the generals in the big tent, "Take a rest tonight, and prepare to attack the city at sunrise tomorrow morning.

When attacking the city, directly bomb the gate of the city wall for me.According to the previous news, there are very few defenders in Luoyang City today, so our main purpose this time is not to kill the defenders on the city wall, but to enter the city as soon as possible and take Luoyang City in the shortest possible time. "

In the following time, Zhao Wen made detailed arrangements for the siege tomorrow morning.

It didn't take long for Zhao Wen to arrange the matter.

According to the news that Zhao Wen received before, in order to prevent himself from breaking through the Yellow River defense line, Sun Chuanting transferred Luoyang and the soldiers and horses around Luoyang.

In this way, today's Luoyang City has become a city with not many soldiers and horses stationed there.

It didn't take Zhao Wen long to attack Taiyuan, let alone Luoyang, where there are not many defenders.

Half an hour later, the generals in the big tent came out and returned to their camp.

As the night gradually darkened, Ma Tingyu anxiously walked back and forth in the hall of the yamen.

Officials of all sizes in Luoyang City sat or stood in the hall.

"My lord, what should we do now? Thieves Zhao drove to the outside of Luoyang city this afternoon, and it is estimated that they will start attacking the city tomorrow morning.

But we have only recruited more than 4000 young men in the past few days, and with the previous soldiers and horses, there are only [-].Moreover, these young men recruited have not been trained yet, so how can Luoyang City be defended with such a small number of troops? Tongzhi Liu Zeli stood beside Ma Tingyu, looking at Ma Tingyu who was walking back and forth in front of him, with an anxious expression on his face.

Ma Tingyu frowned tightly, his face was gloomy, he stopped, and looked at Liu Zeli, "Why don't I know what you said? But there are only so few people in the city now, how do I know how to defend the city?
If King Fu can give up money and food, I can recruit at least 2000 more people in the past few days.But Fu Wang is not willing to pay for money and food. It is difficult for a smart woman to cook without rice. Without money and food, how can she recruit young men? "

These people like Ma Tingyu talked to the gentry in the city these days, and they only got more than 4000 taels of silver.

Ma Tingyu used all of the more than 4000 taels of silver to recruit young men.

Because of the lack of money, the number of young adults recruited is also very limited.

"Tie Zhao is outside the city right now, what should we do? What should we do?" Liu Zeli kept clapping his hands, his expression flustered.

Ma Tingyu said in a deep voice: "Send someone to Fu Wang's mansion and tell Fu Wang that there is a hundred thousand troops of Zhao bandits outside the city. I don't think he can pay for it."

"Yes!" Liu Zeli replied, and hurried outside.

Not long after, Fu Wang Zhu Changxun received a message from Ma Tingyu.

King Fu sat in the study room of the palace. He looked at the guards standing at the door, and said incredulously: "The people sent by Ma Tingyu really said that? The Zhao bandits outside the city really have a hundred thousand troops?"

"My lord, it's absolutely true. That's what the people sent by the prefect told the villain, saying that there are one hundred thousand troops outside the city." The guard replied affirmatively.

King Fu waved his hand at the guard, "You go down first, if Ma Tingyu sends any news, report it to the widow immediately."

"Obey!" The guard saluted, and then went outside.

"One hundred thousand troops, Zhao thief's one hundred thousand troops are approaching the city, father, what should we do?" Zhu Yousong stood beside King Fu, his fat face was full of anxiety.

Fu Wang's right hand supported the armrest of the chair under him, beating non-stop.

"One hundred thousand troops, one hundred thousand troops!" Fu Wang muttered, his hands beating the handrail faster and faster.

"How could there be an army of 20? It was rumored that Bandit Zhao led an army of [-] to attack Henan. Zhao Wen was not an ordinary bandit. He had elite soldiers in his hands. He should have sent out his troops to attack other places in Henan.

Logically speaking, it is impossible for Zhao thief to gather all the soldiers and horses in his hands together, and the soldiers and horses in his hands are not the mob in the hands of Liu thief, so there is no need. "

Fu Wang's eyeballs kept rolling, and his brain was running fast.

But the thought in his mind was not how to help Ma Tingyu defend the city, but whether the news Ma Tingyu sent was true or not.

"Impossible, absolutely impossible. It is absolutely impossible for Thief Zhao to have 10 troops outside the city." Fu Wang slapped the armrest of the chair and suddenly shouted.

Zhu Yousong's body trembled suddenly, and he hurriedly looked at his father, "Father, are you saying that Ma Tingyu lied to us?"

"Hehe!" Fu Wang didn't answer directly, but sneered, "This Ma Tingyu is really bad-hearted. Everyone said that the scholar is exquisite. I didn't quite believe it before, but this time I have to believe it."

King Fu looked at his son, "Let me ask you, is Bandit Zhao an ordinary person?"

Zhu Yousong froze for a moment, he didn't know why his father asked himself this way.

Without any thought, Zhu Yousong replied directly: "It's not an ordinary person."

"Let me ask you again, there are no soldiers and horses in Luoyang City, if you have 20 troops in your hands, will you use all the soldiers and horses in your hands to attack Luoyang?

Will you send the soldiers and horses in your hands to attack other places?Do you want a Luoyang City, or a Henan? " King Fu asked again.

"Does it need to be said? It must be the whole of Henan. Everyone rumored that the soldiers and horses in Zhao's hands were powerful, even stronger than the previous Jiannu.

If I had so many soldiers and horses, I would definitely not bring so many soldiers and horses with me, but let them attack other places.

After all, only when the soldiers and horses under him are useless, will these soldiers and horses be gathered together. "Zhu Yousong replied.

King Fu clapped his hands and said: "This is the end, you know how to throw out the soldiers and horses in your hands, don't Zhao thief know? He will gather all the soldiers and horses in his hands together to attack those who don't have a large number of soldiers and horses stationed." Luoyang? You can figure out things, I don’t believe that thief Zhao can’t figure it out!”

"Hehe, Ma Tingyu, Ma Tingyu, you are indeed deceiving me."

After Fu Wang finished speaking, he sneered.

"Father, do you mean that Ma Tingyu is lying to us?" Zhu Yousong's eyes lit up, and he looked at King Fu.

"Isn't this obvious? If you can figure it out, Zhao thief must be able to figure it out too. If Zhao thief is really that stupid, it's impossible for him to become so powerful in such a short period of time.

Therefore, Ma Tingyu must be deceiving us father and son, nothing more than trying to trick us into giving him money.Unexpectedly, unexpectedly, you, Ma Tingyu, dared to deceive the widow. "

"Ha ha!"

Fu Wang sneered again and again.

"Father, what should we do now? Should we send someone to expose them?" Zhu Yousong asked.

King Fu shook his head, "There's no need to expose them, we just need to wait quietly.

Now that the army of Zhao thieves is approaching the city, Ma Tingyu must be more anxious than us, so we don't care at all. "

.........

The land was quiet before dawn, and Luoyang City was shrouded in darkness.

In Luoyang City, except for the barking of dogs, there were almost no other sounds in the silence.

The servants in the magistrate's yamen were patrolling the streets and alleys. They were walking on the streets of Luoyang City, yawning non-stop.

A team of seven or eight yamen servants walked through a street, and the yamen servant who was walking in the front stopped suddenly.

The yamen servant who was following him didn't pay attention, and bumped into his back directly.

"what happened?"

The yamen servant behind him looked at him suspiciously.

The leading yamen servant pointed in the direction of the city gate with a solemn expression, "Did you hear anything? Why do I feel that the Zhao thieves outside the city are attacking the city?"

"How can there be any sound? There is no sound at all. As long as Zhao thief and the others are not crazy, it is impossible to attack the city at this time. You must be too nervous." The yamen servant behind him shook his head and comforted him.

"Really? Maybe I'm really too nervous." The leading yamen servant let out a long breath, soothing his tense nerves.

He has been patrolling the city for several nights, and now that Zhao Wen's soldiers and horses are approaching the city, it is inevitable that he will be nervous.

The leading yamen servant rubbed his temples, then walked forward.

Just after taking a few steps, a burst of trumpets suddenly reached his ears.

"What's that sound?" This time, he was sure that he didn't hear it wrong, but really heard it.

"It seems to be the sound of a horn!" The yamen servant who was following him also heard the sound of a horn.

"In less than an hour, it will be dawn, and the sound of the horn cannot be heard from the city wall.

Therefore, it is very likely that the sound of the horn came from outside the city.In other words, the thieves outside the city are getting ready to get up. "The leading yamen servant's eyes suddenly widened, and his body trembled uncontrollably.

After a while, he started to run, heading in the direction of the magistrate's yamen.

The defenders on the top of the city were still a little drowsy at first, but when they heard the sound of the horn that suddenly sounded, they instantly regained their energy.

"What's going on? What's going on?" A hundred households hurried up from under the city wall.

"My lord, the sound of the horn came from outside the city." A soldier hurried to Baihu.

Baihu's expression became solemn in an instant, "It came from outside the city, which means that the bandits outside the city have already started to wake up. Getting up so early has only one purpose, and that is to attack the city!"

At the same time, Ma Tingyu stood up from the bed, picked up the clothes on the hanger beside the bed, and walked out while getting dressed.

"What's going on?" Ma Tingyu walked out of the room and looked at the butler who woke her up.
