Great Wei Overlord

Chapter 116 Don't Want to Lose
Chapter 120 Don't Want to Lose

Beiman Mountain is located in the north of Luoyang City, on the south bank of the Yellow River. It is also a natural barrier in the north of Luoyang.

However, this natural barrier and excellent military fortress in the north of Luoyang is as quiet as death, and the wilderness is deserted.

In the middle of the night, suddenly, the dust on the ground of Beiman Mountain began to tremble slightly under the moonlight.

The dust danced wildly, experienced people must be able to see that this is the reaction of large-scale troops stepping on the ground around them!
Not long after, more and more soldiers wearing brown armor and armed with knives and guns appeared on Beiman Mountain!Under the faint moonlight, the big clerical script "Guo" with the word "Da Tao" flutters in the wind.

The Guo family in Yangqu, Taiyuan is also the original sect of Guo Qing, and all of them are capable people.When Shi Le met Guo Jing on his way to escape, he kowtowed with tears and complained of hunger and cold.Guo Jing couldn't help crying, so he sold the goods he brought, bought him something to eat, and gave him some clothes.

Moreover, Guo Jing took his clan brother Guo Yang and nephew Guo Shi to join Shi Le and became one of Shi Le's eighteen cavalry. After Shi Le died, Shi Zhao was destroyed by Ran Min.Guo Jing took his nephew Guo Shi, surrendered to Fu Jian, and became a captain of the Di Qin infantry.

And Guo Qing was also Guo Jing's nephew, and served as Diqin guerrilla general.

After the right forward guerrilla general Guo Qing received Fu Luo's order from Shi Yue, he immediately ordered the infantry of the eight other divisions of the right forward battalion, together with two thousand cavalry, to pull out the camp overnight.Guo Qingbu only carried three days of dry food, a small amount of tents and luggage, and traveled lightly all the way!
Hangu Pass is only [-] miles away from Luoyang. According to the marching speed of this era, even a distance of [-] miles would take a day or even longer.Even Ran Min's most stalwart infantry, fully armed, can only march a hundred miles a day!

However, Guo Qing used to like roundabouts and galloping. His trilogy may not be regarded as the most sturdy army of this era, but if it is to say long-distance marching and fast turning, he is probably also a world-renowned army of good runners!

Most of the soldiers came to Beiman Mountain, which was originally an abandoned camp of the Jin army. In its heyday, there were seven battalions of the Beijun stationed in Beiman, with 5000 troops.

Guo Qing looked at the barracks that had been abandoned for more than forty years, and was speechless for a long time.A Beiman military camp seems to have witnessed the rise and fall of the Sima family in the Jin Dynasty!Especially the landslide of Dianjiangtai on Qingyun Peak, like a person opening his mouth wide, telling his misfortune, laughing at himself being ravaged again!

Guo Qing ordered: "Burn the pot to cook and restore your strength."

After the gang leader received the order, he immediately dug up the stove with a shovel, those who fetched water fetched water, and those who cooked cooked food!
Guo Qing inspected the camp and saw that the soldiers had marched for more than [-] miles. Although their physical strength had declined, their morale was very high.

Guo Qing came to Luoyang Beicheng with his outpost scouts. There were two city gates in Luoyang Beicheng, the one on the east was called Wei'an Gate, and the one on the west was called Ning'an Gate!Guo Qing looked at this city of Luoyang. At this time, Luoyang lost the prosperity and magnificence of the sun, and everything looked dilapidated, and everything looked extremely desolate!

Since Liu Cong broke Luoyang in the fifth year of Yongjia (311), he plundered Emperor Huai of Jin Dynasty Sima Chi, empress Liang Lanbi, and empress Yang Xianrong (the empress of Emperor Hui, because Emperor Hui and Emperor Huai were brothers, they were not honored as queen mothers ) and more than [-] princes and ministers will set fire to burn this thousand-year-old capital to nothingness!
Afterwards, Luoyang changed hands several times. Zuti took back Luoyang in the Northern Expedition, and then was defeated by Shile and withdrew from Luoyang!In just a few decades, Luoyang changed hands four times.

When Shi Le seized Luoyang again, Luoyang City didn't even have the most basic city defense facilities, the moat had been flattened, and the horse face, turrets, sentry towers, and arrow towers also lost their functions!
Later, the famous Taiwei Tao Kan of the Eastern Jin Dynasty sent his son Tao Bin and Nan Zhonglang General Huan Xuan to take advantage of the opportunity of Later Zhao to attack Jiangxi and take the opportunity to recover Xiangyang and Xinye.Huanxuan guarded Xiangyang for more than ten years, and tried his best to manage it, and tried his best to reject Hou Zhao.Later Zhao felt the pressure of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, so he began to repair Luoyang City.

The current appearance of Luoyang City is no longer the prosperity of the capital of a country, especially in the darkness of the city. Guo Qing has a relaxed smile on his face. For this city, let alone only [-] defenders, even [-] Difficult to hold.

Because Luocheng is too big, Luoyang City in the Wei and Jin Dynasties is basically Luoyang City in the Eastern Han Dynasty. It is nine miles and seventy steps long from north to south, and six miles and ten steps wide from east to west. city ​​gate.

In the Han Dynasty, six feet was a step, three hundred steps was a mile, and the Han ruler was 23 centimeters. One mile was about 423 meters, and the circumference of the city wall was 12315 meters. Even if a soldier stood at ten meters, it would take 1 More than 3000 soldiers can stand full, and 40 people, there is only one soldier at a distance of more than [-] meters. These soldiers and horses defend the city, and there are loopholes everywhere.

If you can't take Luoyang down by yourself, it's a waste of time to come here!

Yin time, that is, from five to seven o'clock later, at this time, it is the darkest hour before dawn, and it is also the time when people are most tired and relaxed.Guo Qing ordered the army to go out together, and the soldiers of the Qin army were full of food and drink along the way in high spirits.

Kong Feng, Guo Qing's lieutenant who attacked Wei'anmen.Kong Fengyuan was Sima Xun's assistant general when he organized the first Northern Expedition during the Jin Dynasty Xiaozong period.Later, due to internal discord in the Jin Dynasty, the main force of the Jin Dynasty suddenly diverted to Wuchang after arriving in Xiangyang.

Kong Feng was captured because of his defeat and surrendered to Qin State, which became the part of Fu Hong at that time.For Kong Feng, it is the same whether he is loyal to Jin or Qin.In contrast, although the Qin State was ruled by a foreign race, it treated generals like him better than the Jin Dynasty.Kong Feng is already a middle-aged military general in his forties. He is tall and strong, with a strong physique, and looks like a standard tough guy with iron bones, but his backbone is far from that of a tough guy.

When the army came to Wei'an Gate, suddenly the defenders on the city gate spotted the Qin army below and shouted loudly: "Enemy attack, enemy attack!"

The more than three hundred soldiers on the gate tower of Wei'anmen got up in a panic. They didn't even put on their armor, so they hurriedly got up to resist the enemy.

Seeing that the sneak attack was unsuccessful, Kong Feng shouted: "Come on, brothers. The first warrior to rush up the wall will be rewarded with [-] yuan, and he will be promoted to three ranks!"

Kong Feng was very grateful for Fu Hong's kindness, and he vowed to repay Fu Hong's kindness. After giving the order, Kong Feng immediately took the lead and climbed up the ladder with his bare hands, holding a knife in his mouth!

However, the defenders of Luoyang City on the opposite side surrendered to the Jin Dynasty because of Lu Hu's kidnapping of the Zheng family and Luoyang. As a result, Chen Xun, the chief minister, turned back to the Wei State, and these soldiers couldn't tell who they should be loyal to.

On the one hand, the morale was frustrated and they were fighting at a loss, while on the other hand, they were fighting to the death in order to get promoted and rich.Coupled with the small number of troops defending the city, they soon lost the will to resist, and the Qin army captured Wei'anmen.

As for Guo Qing's attack on Ning'anmen, it was even easier. When Guo Qing's soldiers climbed onto the city wall, the defenders on the city wall did not notice it at all.When the defenders found out, they had already been taken prisoner!

Guo Qing took control of the two city gates of Luoyang North City almost without bloodshed, after paying more than a dozen casualties.

At this time, Chen Xun was named the governor of Luozhou by Ran Min, and Wei Guo was unable to control Luozhou. He was actually the local emperor of Luozhou.Although the Western Qin army was approaching Luoyang, Chen Xun was very relieved at this time. He received a message from Ran Ming, telling the reinforcements to arrive in Luoyang this afternoon.

I'm afraid the reinforcements will arrive before the West Qin army attacks!

Chen Xun became the governor at the beginning, and became the son of the Chen family in Luoyang who currently holds the highest official position in the court. Although he is a collateral lineage, Chen Xun is still very happy to have his own achievements today.

Because he wasn't worried about the war, he had a second love with his concubine last night and slept deeply.It was just dawn, and before Chen Xun got up, he was awakened by the commotion outside, and then the butler shouted anxiously from outside the door, "Master, something is not right!"

Although Chen Xun is a collateral descendant of the Chen family, he is still a son of the gentry, and the gentry children all have a personality, which is calm when you say it nicely, or pretentious if you say it badly.Although Chen Xun was angry in his heart, he showed the self-restraint he should have for a scholar's son, and asked slowly: "Why are you so panicked, tell me slowly!"

"My lord, the Qin army has entered Luoyang City!"

Chen Xun didn't react in his head and said subconsciously: "What a big deal this is!"

"what?"

Chen Xun didn't care about his decency, and he didn't care that his concubine was gone, so he jumped off the bed naked, grabbed the butler and said, "What did you say?"

"Qin's army has entered the city, and it's about to attack the governor's mansion!" The housekeeper said timidly!
Chen Xun exclaimed, "How is that possible? It doesn't make sense. Didn't the scouts report that they arrived at Hangu Pass last night? Even if they don't rest, they should not be able to reach Luoyang until the afternoon. How did they get here?"

The steward said urgently: "Master, run for your life, if you are late, it will be too late!"

"This..." Chen Xun thought while putting on his clothes.

An ant is still alive, but still a person?

Chen Xun was also afraid of death.

However, he is more afraid of losing everything now.Although the Luoyang Chen family is not considered a wealthy family, it is still one of the wealthy families in Yuzhou.Originally, he was just a little-known offshoot of the Chen family in Luoyang, but after becoming the governor of Luozhou in the Wei state, the attitude of the Chen family towards him changed greatly. Even his father, Chen Gu, was valued by his son. Became one of the eighteen elders of the Chen family in Yingchuan, and the family was divided into [-] lands by the family.

Chen Xun also understands that the family values ​​him because he values ​​the benefits he can bring to the family.If he abandons the city and runs away, although he can survive, all the rewards, money and status in the family will be lost along with his loss of office!
In fact, power is like an addictive poison. Chen Xun has realized that he has the power to control the life and death of hundreds of thousands of people in a state, and he doesn't want to lose it again!

If he stayed, he would die, but if he ran away, he would lose everything.
