Luoyang didn't know that Qi Lin had led his troops across the Yellow River.

Of course, there is no intelligence organization in Luoyang. The Tongwen Museum was first set up by Li Keyong to control the Jianghu.

Li Siyuan also has the Shang organization under his command, doing black work for him.

But both organizations have a fatal flaw in that they cannot act without those in power.

Li Siyuan has been expanding his power in these two organizations and establishing his supreme authority in the past, and it has been successful.

But the problem is that Qi Lin put Li Siyuan and Li Cunli in prison.

In the absence of a leader, these two organizations were unable to display their abilities at all, and even did not take any action.

And the military leaders in Luoyang City didn't feel anything, they sent their own spies to search for the enemies ahead.

But compared to the vast land of the Central Plains, these spies are nothing at all, at most they are just to be vigilant about the situation around the army.

Such an arrangement would be useful if Qi Lin planned to directly attack the army marching towards Fenglingdu.

But Qi Lin didn't intend to pay attention to this procrastinating army that was pushed out by the people above to die from the very beginning.

He and the empress led 5000 people across the vast plains and swaggered straight to Luoyang City.

This move made the empress even more puzzled. When she was free, she found Qi Lin and asked seriously: "Mr. Qi, are you really going to fight Luoyang? That is Li Siyuan's old lair, and it is impossible to take it down with only 5000 people." .”

"I thought you would wait until Luoyang City and ask me why."

Qi Lin half-joked, but didn't get a response, so he explained directly: "It's really impossible for 5000 people to take down Luoyang, but I didn't want to take down that city."

"I just want to use this method to attack the majesty of the regime that Li Siyuan has just formed."

The empress tried to understand what Qi Lin said, but found that she couldn't react at all, not because she was not smart enough, but because she couldn't understand something she had never seen before.

She didn't care about face, and said directly: "Please advise!"

Qi Lin nodded and explained to her: "For monarchs like you and Li Siyuan, it seems that power comes from the army in their hands, but it actually comes from the landlords under their rule."

"Because these landlords control most of the land and the food produced by the land, if you don't have these people to pay taxes, you will have no money, and if you have money, you will naturally be unable to maintain the army. So from this point of view, you are just a landlord The great landlords whom we have elected to protect ourselves."

The empress nodded, and agreed with the first half of the sentence, but disagreed with the second half: "If it's what you said, then they should use money and food to support me in resisting the invasion of Mobei, instead of delaying my hind legs."

"Yes."

Unexpectedly, Qi Lin agreed with her words, "Objectively speaking, there is indeed a class of landlords, but the landlords themselves do not have such a consciousness. Otherwise, I should save up on the West Bank and fight with the landlords instead of running here Hit Luoyang."

The Empress frowned, and was puzzled by his contradictory words.

Qi Lin had to make it clearer: "The reason I'm telling you this is that I want you to understand that whether it's the Qi Kingdom or the Later Tang Dynasty, it's just a loose alliance built by force, and it can't be regarded as a solid collective at all.

As long as we attack Luoyang, Taiyuan will be in chaos. Where Li Ke used Li Cunxu and his son to start a family, Li Siyuan's capital in Luoyang will damage the interests of local power.

If the news of Luoyang being attacked spreads, the local landlords will instantly panic. At that time, we will turn around and open a channel connecting the two places. "

The empress breathed a sigh of relief, she had almost become a political idiot in front of Qi Lin, and only when it was related to the military could she find some sense of pride.

"Okay, we'll do what you say!"

Military is an extension of politics. Maybe the Empress doesn't know this sentence, but she knows that a war without a purpose is bound to fail.

The power of any person or group is limited, and if it expands without limit, it will be itself who will be destroyed in the end.

Of course, it's too early to think about this.

Qi Lin finally persuaded the empress to let her act with him.

In the early morning of the next day, when the sky was getting dark, Qi Lin rectified his troops and horses and continued to march towards Luoyang.

The closer to Luoyang, the more people will be active.

Qi Lin was finally able to see farmers busy in the fields on both sides of the road. Of course, it was autumn and it was time to harvest wheat, and the busy people in the fields were harvesting wheat again.

The busy farmers in the fields put down their sickles and looked up curiously when they saw a group of strangers riding by.

For these farmers who have never left the few acres of land under their feet, such an army is very novel, and it is not as full of fear as other armies.

Qi Lin combined the modern military system of his previous life and assigned a brand new squad and brigade based on the principle of martial arts.

As long as the fighters who come out of the school work hard, it shouldn't be too easy to release sword energy or sword energy.

Unless the soldiers at the grassroots level are all wearing heavy plate armor, the armor becomes useless in the face of the sword and sword energy released by the army formation.

Although the martial arts practiced by the current army is far from being as efficient as bolt-action rifles or heavy machine guns in later generations, the power of a musket is enough to deal with infantry in the Middle Ages.

Therefore, Qi Lin set up a brand new military uniform for the new army.

The way farmers in the Central Plains distinguish soldiers is by clothing, because this is how the army distinguishes soldiers.

Therefore, when the new army passed by, the common people all approached, trying to watch the excitement.

But when the soldiers of Qi State passed by, saying that these spectators dispersed in an instant, and ran away crying for their parents and mothers, they were afraid that they would be killed by these soldiers if they were too slow.

In the melee in the Central Plains, no matter which side the civilians were on, they were swept three or four times by the soldiers, because looting and massacres were allowed, and the people saw how easy it was to deal with these soldiers.

Therefore, in an instant, the surrounding area became an open space again.

The empress felt a little helpless when she saw this scene. In the past, she didn't think it was a big deal. After all, the purpose of the army was to make the enemy fear her.

But after getting along with Qi Lin for a period of time, she was persuaded that these ordinary farmers were no longer her enemies, and she naturally felt that military discipline should be rectified.

But these are later stories.

Qi Lin and the others soon encountered soldiers stationed in the barracks.

Obviously, the people in these barracks did not expect to see Qi Lin and the others here from top to bottom.

When Qi Lin commanded a large group to rush into the barracks, the gatekeepers even thought they were other troops under Li Siyuan's command.

Then, the first battle to attack Luoyang ended in such a muddle.

Big knives and spears are not like guns, which can kill people by pulling the trigger.

And Li Siyuan was not as magnanimous as Qi Lin, who was able to spread martial arts throughout the army.

There are indeed a few masters in this barracks, but before Qi Lin and the empress could make a move, they fell under the saber and sword aura of the new army.

"It appears that the new tactics we have created are not yet effective."

Qi Lin was satisfied with the officer who fell to the ground, and nodded in satisfaction.

Before that, although he acted confident towards anyone, he was not 100% sure of himself.

But now, the facts have proved everything.
