After Fang Qiao sighed, he immediately said to Wang Kai: "My lord, the Baibo Valley Yellow Turban is in Luoyang, which is the best reason for our army to enter Heluo. ”

"Xuan Ling, I also think so, and the Yellow Turbans in Baibo Valley are not strong, so they are the most suitable for training."

"Lord, it is not advisable to send too many troops to exterminate the Yellow Turban of Baibo Valley, so as not to attract Cao Cao's attention."

"This is natural, I plan to use Luo as the main general, Li Jing as the deputy general, and send 30,000 troops to attack the Yellow Turban in Luoyang."

"Thirty thousand is no more, no less, it will neither arouse Cao Cao's vigilance, nor will it fall into disadvantage when fighting against the Yellow Turban."

Seeing Fang Qiao say this, Wang Kai immediately confirmed.

After that, Wang Kai immediately ordered someone to summon Luo Cheng and Li Jing.

After the two arrived, Luo Cheng and Li Jing saluted Wang Kai at the same time.

At this time, Wang Kai said to them: "Shixin, pharmacist, I have received news earlier that the Yellow Turban of Baibo Valley has taken Luoyang City for myself, and I intend to let the two of you send troops to Luoyang to exterminate the thieves. ”

Hearing Wang Kai say this, Luo Cheng and Li Jing immediately received the order.

Seeing this, Wang Kai continued: "Luo Cheng and Li Jing listen to orders! ”

After hearing this, the two shouted at the same time.

"Luo became the main general, Li Jing was the deputy general, and immediately led 30,000 troops to Luoyang to exterminate the Yellow Turban thieves."

Luo Cheng and Li Jing received the order and left immediately.

Immediately after, Wang Kai said to Li Ru: "Wen You, this extermination of the Yellow Turban Thief will inevitably arouse Cao Mengde's vigilance, you let the Jinyi Wei spy pay close attention to the movements of Xu County, if Cao Mengde sends troops, be sure to send the news back." ”

"Command!"

Immediately, Li Ru also retreated.

At this time, Fang Qiao said to Wang Kaijin: "Lord, the minister has also retired. ”

"Go ahead!"

Besides, after Luo Cheng and Li Jing received the order, the two of them quickly gathered 30,000 soldiers and horses out of Chang'an and began to go straight to Luoyang City.

Because there were 5,000 cavalry among the 30,000 soldiers and horses, Luo Cheng said to Li Jing after leaving Chang'an: "Li Jing, I will lead 5,000 cavalry first, and you will lead the rest of the infantry to follow." ”

Li Jing saw that Luo Cheng planned to divide the troops, so he hurriedly persuaded: "General Luo, didn't the lord say that we should divide the troops?" ”

"Where do you need so many troops in the Yellow Turbans, see me lead five thousand elite horsemen to kill him without leaving a piece of armor."

Seeing that Luo Cheng insisted on dividing the troops, although Li Jing had already guessed Wang Kai's intention to train the troops, he was not the main general after all, so he could only reluctantly agree to Luo Cheng.

After Li Jing agreed, Luo Cheng immediately led 5,000 cavalry to take the lead, while Li Jing led the remaining 25,000 infantry to advance slowly.

Because Luo Cheng led the cavalry, it only took him ten days to go out of Hangu Pass and kill Luoyang City.

At this time, Li Jing's army had just passed through Hangu Pass.

Back to Luo Cheng's side.

As he led his troops to Luoyang City, the Yellow Turban Army in Luoyang City immediately closed the city gates.

Seeing this situation, Luo Cheng immediately rode his horse and shouted: "The Yellow Turban thieves in the city listen, I am the general Luo Cheng Luo Shixin under the account of the general of Zhenxi, my lord heard that you and others have seized the eastern capital Luoyang, and today I am specially sent to exterminate you and others, and if you know each other, you will obediently open the city gate and ask for surrender, if not, the day the city is broken is the time when you die." ”

Hearing Luo Cheng shouting there, a yellow turban soldier immediately went to the palace to report to Mrs. Guo.

When Mrs. Guo learned that there was Luo Cheng calling for battle outside the city, he was also shocked, because Luo Cheng's name had spread all over the country.

Immediately after, Mrs. Guo quickly rushed to the city tower to check.

When Mrs. Guo found out that Luo Cheng only had 5,000 cavalry, he suddenly thought to himself: 'I didn't expect Luo Cheng to bring only 5,000 cavalry, it seems that I only need to hold the city to retreat from the enemy.' ’

Thinking of this, Guo Tai immediately ordered the whole army not to go out of the city to face the battle, because he only had 30,000 regular troops under his command, but the 30,000 regular troops were only relative to the peasants, and if compared with the 5,000 cavalry under Luo Cheng, the soldiers under his command were peasants.

As Mrs. Guo's military order was handed down, the Yellow Turban Army in Luoyang City ignored Luo Cheng.

Luo Cheng scolded for a while and found that the Yellow Turban Army was still closed, he was really powerful and had nowhere to go, after all, he only took away 5,000 cavalry, and the cavalry siege was a fantasy.

In desperation, Luo Cheng had to camp outside the city and wait for Li Jing's army to arrive.

At this time, Li Jing's army was also camped throughout the whole process, so their marching speed was not much slower, but after all, the infantry was not as good as the cavalry, and it still took Li Jing seven days to lead his troops to meet Luo Cheng outside Luoyang City.

As Li Jing and Luo Cheng joined forces, the Yellow Turban soldiers who saw this situation immediately reported the news.

When Mrs. Guo learned that Luo Cheng had reinforcements arriving, he came to the city tower again.

When Mrs. Guo glanced at the smoke of Luo Cheng's barracks, he suddenly said to himself: "How many soldiers and horses did this Luo Cheng bring?" The smoke outside the city is so dense, could it be that I am going to be driven away again? No, Luoyang City is so prosperous, this time I want to stay here desperately. ”

Immediately after, Mrs. Guo ordered: "Pass my military order, let the displaced people recruited in recent days go to the city tower to prepare for battle, and if the enemy army launches an attack, I will fight to block it." ”

After the Yellow Turban sergeants received the order, they conveyed Mrs. Guo's military orders.

At this time, Li Jing also came to Shuai to meet Luo Cheng.

Luo Cheng saw that Li Jing had finally arrived, and he immediately said to him: "Li Jing, you really made me wait." ”

"General Luo, could it be that there is something wrong with the yellow scarves in Luoyang City?"

"Definitely! I am angry, this yellow turban thief does not dare to go out of the city to fight. ”

"General Luo, since the defeat of this Yellow Turban in the White Wave Valley by the Southern Xiongnu Shan Yu Fuluo, its leader Guo Tai must have learned a lesson and dare not let the infantry and cavalry fight anymore, after all, the soldiers of the Yellow Turban Army are negligent in training, they are just peasants who take up arms."

"Having said that, if the Yellow Turban Army does not leave the city, then how can we exterminate them? Is it a storm? ”

When Li Jing saw Luo Cheng say this, he immediately replied: "General Luo, if you want to break the yellow scarf, you can only outwit." ”

"Outwitted? How to outwit? ”

Li Jing immediately replied: "General Luo, the last general has not yet figured out the specific situation of the Yellow Turban thief, and it is difficult to give an answer now. ”

"Forget it, let's rest today!"

With a promise, Li Jing retreated.

After only Luo Cheng was left in the tent, he immediately thought about how to exterminate the Yellow Turban thieves.

Following.

Luo Cheng gathered an army and prepared to test the combat power of the Yellow Turban Army first.

With Luo Cheng's 30,000 troops in formation, Mrs. Guo also arrived at the city tower just in time to start arranging.

After the 25,000-strong infantry was ready, Luo Cheng immediately ordered a tentative attack.

Seeing this, Mrs. Guo on the city tower hurriedly commanded the Yellow Turban soldiers to fight.

Because Luoyang City still had some defensive equipment, Luo Cheng's tentative attack ended in failure.

Luo Cheng, who lost the first battle, was a little annoyed when he returned to the camp, because he didn't expect that these Yellow Turban Army still had some strength.

Li Jing saw that Luo Cheng was angry, and he had no way to dissuade him, after all, he was only a deputy general.
