Chapter 255: Around the City
"But, the lord ....." Hearing what Liu Xie said, Tai Shici hesitated a little.
However, Xu Shu on the side answered Tai Shici's doubts and said: "Ziyi, this person is no longer useful, and it doesn't hurt to let him go back." ”
Hearing Xu Shu's words, Tai Shici had all the doubts in his heart at this time, and said to his sergeant: "Let him go!" ”
"Your Highness! Thank you, Your Highness! ”
Seeing that the sergeants on Liu Xie's side really loosened their ties and let them go, Chun Yuqiong suddenly breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, and she was about to leave with a crawl.
"Leave the horses!" Seeing that after Chun Yuqiong was released, he was still heading towards his war horse, Liu Xie couldn't help but speak.
Although Liu Xie's voice was not loud, the undoubted tone of this voice was the strongest.
Hearing what Liu Xie said, although Chun Yuqiong was distressed, but now that his life is in the hands of others, where do he dare to say a word, and immediately fled in the direction of Luoyang with the rest of the Xiyuan army he brought.
At this time, Chun Yuqiong's black war horse saw his master leaving him, and he was a little uneasy, and the horse's hooves couldn't help but kick a few times.
"Ziyi, although this Chun Yuqiong is a crooked melon and cracked jujube goods, this war horse is extraordinary." At this time, Liu Xie walked closer, glanced at the war horse left by Chun Yuqiong, and couldn't help but sigh.
And when the war horse saw Liu Xie looking at himself, he seemed to be human, looking at Liu Xie's not very strong body, there was a trace of contempt in his eyes.
This made Liu Xie very depressed, damn, he would never have thought that one day he would be despised by a horse.
"A good horse indeed!" Tai Shici came to the black horse at this time, touched the black horse's mane, and showed a hint of love in his eyes.
"This horse is your possession, and it will be yours to ride it." Seeing the look of love in Tai Shi Ci's eyes, Liu Xie immediately said to Tai Shi Ci.
Hearing that Liu Xie was going to give this war horse to himself, Tai Shici was suddenly shocked: "Lord, this is absolutely unacceptable, such a good horse should be ridden by the lord!" ”
Hearing Tai Shici's words, Liu Xie couldn't help muttering in his heart, didn't he see that this beast was actually laughing at Lonely?
However, on the surface, he said to Tai Shici: "The sword is matched with a hero, and a good horse is matched with a good general, and this horse can play the greatest role in Ziyi." ”
Hearing Liu Xie's words, and Tai Shici really liked this horse, he was no longer humble at this time, and thanked Liu Xie: "Thank you, lord!" ”
"My lord, what should we do next?" Seeing Tai Shici's horse leaving with an excited face, Xu Shu asked Liu Xie at this time.
Hearing Xu Shu's words, Liu Xie said with a smile: "Naturally, the soldiers will block the water and cover the earth." ”
Hearing Liu Xie's words, Xu Shu immediately understood Liu Xie's thoughts, and was about to leave, but was stopped by Liu Xie: "Yuan Zhi, how many garrisons are there in Luoyang now?" ”
Hearing Liu Xie's inquiry, Xu Shu did not panic, but replied confidently: "In Luoyang City, the Xiyuan Army and the City Defense Army add up to only more than 5,000 people, and more are guarding the periphery of Luoyang, such as Tiger Prison Pass, Jiguan and other places, and the periphery may add up to tens of thousands of people." ”
"Tens of thousands, tens of thousands?" Hearing Xu Shu's reply, Liu Xie frowned and asked.
Seeing Liu Xie's expression, Xu Shu suddenly said: "My lord, for the sake of ensuring the safety of Luoyang, the garrison sergeants at each pass are often adjusted, but it will not exceed 30,000 people. ”
The periphery is calculated according to 30,000, even if you add the army in Luoyang City, it is only about 35,000 people.
Of these 35,000 people, it is impossible to mobilize them without the necessary reasons.
After all, these armies are guarding all the barriers in Luoyang, and if they are all recalled, then if something happens, the barriers in Luoyang will be lost.
Although Liu Xie only brought 12,000 people this time, Liu Xie had already formulated a plan to take the elite route at the beginning.
There are many advantages to taking the elite route, one is that it can reduce the attention of others to the greatest extent, the second is that the combat effectiveness of the troops created by the elite route is the strongest, and the third is that the number of elite troops is relatively small, and the pressure on logistics support will be reduced to the least for the newly developed Bohai.
You must know that Liu Xie has gone all the way, if it is like an ordinary conscription, I am afraid that there is no problem with having 70,000 or 80,000 people in his hands at this time, and it can be said that under Liu Xie's request, the 70,000 or 80,000 soldiers were forcibly compressed to the scale of 22,000 people, which can be said to be excellence.
So at this time, although he heard that Luoyang had a standing army of more than 30,000 people, even if things were developing at the worst point, Liu Xie was confident that his more than 10,000 people would not fall behind more than 30,000 people, and even be able to defeat the other party.
"Lord, Xingyang City ahead is closed!" At this time, the sharp-eyed sergeant saw the situation in front of him and immediately reported it, and then Chen Zhi said to Liu Xie.
Hearing Chen Dao's words, Liu Xie looked into the distance, and sure enough, the gate of Xingyang City, which was originally open, was firmly closed at this time.
"This He brother and sister are really doing everything!" Liu Xie sneered at this time.
"I thought this would stop us, clowns." Xu Shu on the side also sneered and said.
"Lord, it seems that although we are not far from Luoyang now, there should be a lot of interesting things happening on this part of the road." And Guo Jia also echoed at this time.
Only Xun Yu on the side kept silent, but kept pondering.
Hearing what everyone said, Liu Xie suddenly felt a sense of pride in his heart, and said to everyone: "Lone is just here to worship his father, so he is scared and frightened, and he has exhausted all his dirty methods, not enough to worry, not enough to worry about!" Hahaha......"
Seeing Liu Xie's heroic laughter, the confidence in everyone's hearts was even stronger.
"My lord, what are we going to do now?" At this time, Chen Zhi asked Liu Xie for instructions.
Hearing Chen Dao's inquiry, Liu Xie thought for a while and said, "Go around the city." ”
Originally, Liu Xie wanted to directly capture Xingyang, so he just pushed it all the way, simple, rough and effective.
But when I think of my current identity, if I make the first move, then I will fall into passivity in public opinion.
After all, at least at this time, he still has an advantage in public opinion, and as a son of man, he has traveled thousands of miles to mourn, and under such a general trend, the He brothers and sisters will also be tied.
But if once he starts to attack the city, the other party will immediately identify himself as seeking the throne and rebelling, and he will really be at a loss for words.
"No!"
