In the evening of the same day, Qiu Jingzhong rushed back to Xin'an County, and he immediately gathered an army of 80,000 to give a lecture to the soldiers.

The above generals of Feixiong Weilang are basically Qiu Jingzhong's henchmen, but he also has to mobilize the low-level generals and soldiers, and tens of thousands of torches will illuminate the barracks square like day.

Qiu Jingzhong stood on the wooden platform and shouted: "Brothers! I Qiu Jingzhong has some heartfelt words to tell you today, I have followed the Son of Heaven for twenty-five years, loyal to him, followed him to create the Zhu Han Dynasty, our territory once reached the Yangtze River in the south, and controlled the population of more than 10 million, but now we have been defeated repeatedly, the battle for Wei was defeated and returned, and the battle for Qi was also lost! Why do we always fail? I've learned the hard way, and now I've finally discovered the reason for my failure! ”

Qiu Jingzhong looked at the excited faces, he took a deep breath, and shouted loudly: "It's because it's unfair!" We fought desperately, but we didn't get any benefits, we ate worse than pigs and dogs, and we held meager military salaries, while the court was controlled by a group of wine bags and rice bags, controlled by relatives, who were extremely arrogant, and one meal was much more than a soldier's salary for a year!

Liu Feng is just a butcher, and his sister became a concubine, he didn't know a word, but he became the prime minister.

General Zhang Guangsheng was killed by him, he used his henchmen to guard the pass, but he lost the letter in three days, as well as Xiao Wanding, how can he be virtuous, he actually served as the general of Hu Benwei, or because his daughter pleased the Son of Heaven.

Brothers, if this continues, sooner or later the dynasty will be completely destroyed, I advise the Son of Heaven to appoint people on the basis of merit, not to let his relatives gain power, if the Son of Heaven does not listen, then I can only admonish! ”

Speaking of this, Qiu Jingzhong raised his arms and shouted: "Brothers, we want to clear the king's side, punish the traitors, and we want to be fair!" ”

The 80,000 army was enthusiastic when they heard this, and they raised their arms and shouted with him: "Qing Jun's side, punish the traitor!" ”

Qiu Jingzhong waved his hand, and a big banner was unfurled, and there were six blood-red characters on it: 'Qing Jun's side, punish the traitor!' ’

Half an hour later, Qiu Jingzhong led an army of 80,000 out of the barracks and killed Luoyang, the eastern capital.

Zhu Sui was also in the army, and he also regretted a little in his heart, he should not have escaped from Luoyang with Qiu Jingzhong, he was completely used by Qiu Jingzhong.

Zhu Sui was very remorseful in his heart, he knew that he escaped from Luoyang with his wife and children and went to the countryside to be a rich man, which was much better than not being able to go up or down like now.

But now that he has no way out, it is impossible for him to return to Luoyang, and he doesn't even know what his fate will be? I had to resign myself to fate.

At this time, a soldier galloped over on horseback and said to Zhu Sui: "General, please come over!" ”

Zhu Sui nodded, and followed the soldier to Qiu Jingzhong, "The general is looking for me?" ”

Qiu Jingzhong smirked and said, "It's better for you to be safe with me, I'm afraid that someone will harm you." ”

Hearing that someone would harm him, Zhu Sui was shocked, and then relieved, Qiu Jingzhong was afraid that he would escape.

He nodded silently, Qiu Jingzhong glanced at him and said: "I think it's best to defeat Xiao Wanding, force the Son of Heaven to abdicate as the emperor, support His Royal Highness to succeed to the throne, kill Liu Feng and other relatives, and reverse the corruption and incompetence of the imperial court, this is my greatest wish, and then I will go back to Liaodong to find the old lord, I am worthy of his cultivation." ”

These words were said very sincerely, but how could Zhu Sui believe him, he knew that the loyal were often traitors, so Zhu Sui pretended to believe it and said happily: "If I can ascend the throne, I will definitely make the general a prince, and we will share the world!" ”

Qiu Jingzhong smiled, and then said no more, the two had their own scheming, he invited Zhu Sui to sit in a carriage, and ordered the captain of the army to protect the safety of His Royal Highness the Prince, and no one was allowed to approach, saying that it was to protect safety, but in fact he was under house arrest.

At the fifth watch, Qiu Jingzhong led an army of 80,000 to arrive ten miles west of Luoyang City.

Soon, the spies came to report, "The main force of the army has been found ahead, about 100,000 people!" ”

Qiu Jingzhong is very clear about the current strength of Luoyang, 50,000 leopard Tao troops can not come for the time being, there are a total of 150,000 troops in Luoyang City, and the palace must be heavily guarded, if there are 100,000 troops in front, then there are almost no soldiers to guard the south and east.

Qiu Jingzhong called the general Wang Tang and said to him: "You can lead 10,000 troops to feint and attack the palace, take more flags, and make the momentum bigger, just like the main force is going to attack the palace, after attracting the enemy army to the north, immediately retreat to the south, and the commander is waiting for you in the south camp." ”

"The last general obeys!"

Wang Tang immediately led 10,000 troops and 3,000 banners to the north, while Qiu Jingzhong led 70,000 troops across Gushui and Luoshui and moved south.

The terrain of the outer city of Luoyang is more complicated, from the west city to the south city, it is very troublesome to cross Gushui, Luoshui and Yishui continuously, but if you walk from the city, it is much more convenient and fast.

In fact, Qiu Jingzhong kept saying that he wanted to clear the monarch's side, but he had no idea of competing with Luoyang's 150,000 army at all, not to mention that the equipment and training of the 100,000 tiger army surpassed his Flying Bear Army.

Qiu Jingzhong is not so stupid, this 80,000 army is his capital, his capital is far from enough to replace Zhu Jun, what he is most worried about is that Zhu Jun sent an army to chase and intercept him, how to get rid of the other party's entanglement, is the problem that Qiu Jingzhong has been thinking about with all his might.

Qiu Jingzhong knew very well that the other party must have sent spies, so he pretended to attack Luoyang in a big way, attracting the opponent's army to the west of the city, on the one hand, he sent troops to feint to attack the palace, and on the other hand, he quickly evacuated to the south, he wanted to use the feint to drag the Tiger Ben army and buy time for him to retreat south.

Qiu Jingzhong carried a large number of rafts, which he used to build pontoon bridges, allowing the army to quickly cross the river to the south.

Xiao Wanding was really fooled, he learned that the Flying Bear Army was fierce, and immediately led an army of 100,000 to set up a large array outside the west city of Luoyang, preparing to meet the enemy.

At this time, he suddenly got the news that the opponent's main force was killing the palace, which made Xiao Wanding shocked, and he immediately led 80,000 troops to the north of Luoyang City to intercept the enemy army.

The 10,000 Flying Bear Army beat gongs and drums in the north of the city, waved flags, and shouted to the sky, but they did not attack.

At this time, Xiao Wanding's army mobilized at the city gate had reached 100,000, but they waited for nearly half an hour, and they still didn't see each other, which made Xiao Wanding deeply puzzled.

Several spies galloped over on horseback, rushed to Xiao Wanding, and bowed their hands to the first lieutenant: "General Qiqi, we found that the actual number of enemy troops is not much, only about 10,000 people!" ”

"What?"

Xiao Wanding was stunned for a moment, why is there only 10,000 troops, where are the other 70,000 troops?

A general next to him said: "General, I'm afraid this is Qiu Jingzhong's strategy to attack the west!" ”

"What's the noise?"

Xiao Wanding was really dissatisfied: "Where do they want to hit?" You put it clearly, where else is Luoyang City more important than the Imperial Palace? ”

The general saw that the coach was a little annoyed and angry, he didn't dare to say anything, in fact, Xiao Wanding had realized that he had been fooled, he was shot by Qiu Jingzhong, but he couldn't pull down, he said to the generals: "The whereabouts of the other party are like a mirror, but I want to remind everyone that everything has priorities, for us, protecting the safety of the palace and protecting the safety of the Son of Heaven is the top priority. ”

"It's still handsome and smart, and you can see far!" The generals have slapped their ass.

Although Xiao Wanding got back face, he was still a little annoyed in his heart, Qiu Jingzhong dared to use suspicious soldiers to fool himself.

He immediately ordered: "Order the vanguard army to attack!" ”

"Whew-"

The horn of the sortie sounded, and the forward army of 30,000 Tiger Benwei slaughtered the enemy troops several miles away!

The 10,000 Flying Bear Army had already become frightened birds, and when the 30,000 Tiger Guards had just been launched, they quickly withdrew south

It wasn't until the next morning that Xiao Wanding got the exact news that the 80,000 Flying Bear Army had withdrawn southward, so he breathed a long sigh of relief and rushed to the palace to report the situation to the Son of Heaven.

"Your Majesty, Qiu Jingzhong should have wanted to take a risk last night and launch a mutiny, he let the army confront Hu Benwei in the west, and at the same time sent 30,000 troops to attack the palace, but his trick was discovered by Wei Chen, and Wei Chen targeted the defense of troops, so that Qiu Jingzhong could not find any chance to launch a coup d'état, and he had fled south in a hurry."

Zhu Jun nodded, "The general is right, Qiu Jingzhong is indeed very good at using strange soldiers, I wanted to remind the general yesterday, but I didn't expect the general to see through his tricks, which really made me feel very gratified, but I hope to eliminate Qiu Jingzhong as soon as possible, and I also hope that the general will share my worries!" ”

Xiao Wanding had never fought in his life, so how could he fight against the experienced Qiu Jingzhong, he had to agree hard, and then go to Liu Sigu to discuss countermeasures.
