Suiyang was lost, Qiu Daqian led 70,000 troops to surrender, and Yuan Hao was proclaimed emperor on the bank of the river. When the news reached Luoyang, one by one, one by one, all shocked the Wei government and the public, and the emperor Yuanzi regretted not being at the beginning.

Suiyang was lost, and the city was in an emergency, and Yuanzi was busy calling his henchman Hou Zheng Xianhu of Pingchang County, and awarded the auxiliary general, and ordered him to lead 20,000 people from the Beijing division Yulin Army to rush to the aid of the city in the starry night.

After Zheng Xian escorted away, the troops in Luozhong were empty, and Yuanzi was in a hurry, so he issued an edict: "On the ground of Sizhou, all good families can be exempted from the test to enlist in the army and be used as Yulin Lang." "After the edict was issued, there are really a lot of people who are greedy for false official bodies, and there are many people who respond for a while.

Yang Yu, the eldest son of Yang Chun of the Taibao and the secretary of the Seven Soldiers, is the cousin of Yang Kan, the secretary of the Duzhi Shangshu, who was born in a famous family and has a political reputation. At that time, it was said that Yang Yu was both civil and military, and Hongnong Yang had always been known for his loyalty to the royal family, so Yuan Ziyou took charge of Yang Yu's recruitment and training of Yu Linlang, and also awarded him the southeast road Daxingtai, plus the general of the conquest, as soon as the army was completed, he immediately sent troops to the east to conquer the white-robed army and Yuan Hao against the party.

Although it is said to be an emergency, Yuan Ziyou is so fanfare to expand the Yulin Army, and reuse Yang Yu and other imperial parties, it is inevitable that he will take the opportunity. Erzhu Shilong found Fei Mu privately and complained. Fei Mu persuaded: "At the moment of the great enemy, Luoyang is empty, and the headquarters of the Shangdang King is still in Qidi, and there is no way to do it." ”

Erzhu Shilong took a step closer: "Or... Please Tianzhu send troops from Jinyang? ”

Fei Mu shook his head: "This year, Shanxi is not quiet, and Fen has Ge Rong to rebel, Heng, and the mountains are chaotic, and the creeps in the north are also ready to move, and it is not appropriate to drag the Tianzhu lightly at this time." After a pause, he said: "What's more, every move of Tianzhu is paid attention to by everyone in the world. Your Majesty has not yet spoken, and if Tianzhu comes uninvited, I am afraid that it will damage people's hopes. ”

"That's the truth... Er Zhu Shilong frowned: "But is it up to him to make it bigger?" ”

"It's just a stopgap measure." Fei Mu smiled and said: "Yu Linlang was hastily recruited, how much can the combat power be?" It's just to make it occupy Xiongguan Jiancheng, so as to drag down the white-robed thief and Yuan Hao's rebel party. As soon as the king of the party returns to Luoyang, hehe, he can find a reason to disband it on the spot. "Yuan Tianmu is in Qidi, and it is said that he has won successive battles, and victory is already in sight.

Only then did Er Zhu Shilong put his mind at ease and nodded: "Good." ”

。。。。。。

Soon after Zheng Xianhu entered the city, Yuan Hao took Chen Qingzhi's envoy and awarded the governor of the forward, led the white-robed army to continue westward, and the troops arrived at the foot of the important town of Kaocheng. Yuan Hao sat in Suiyang by himself, and Hou Xuan and other subordinates led the newly attached army to capture the surrounding small counties.

Although Chen Qingzhi has won many battles, he did not trust the big one, and when he approached the city, he first led a group of generals and strategists to the outside of the city, looking for a high place, wanting to have a glimpse.

Under this look, below Chen Qingzhi, including the generals of the white-robed army, they all screamed bitterly.

It turns out that the terrain of this test city is different, built on a raised hill, which is already condescending, easy to defend and difficult to attack. But that's it, the most terrible thing is that the city is surrounded by water on all sides, and the water surface is extremely wide, straight like a wide lake, enough for boats. Chen Qingzhi led the white-robed army to come in a hurry, relying only on those simple ladders and crude crashes in the army, even the water outside the city could not be crossed, let alone attack the city.

Chen Qingzhi was helpless and led the crowd back. For three days in a row, even if I went around the test city, I just couldn't think about it.

In the test city, Zheng Xianhu laughed: "The white-robed thief is deflated?" I want to see, with the natural risk of the city, how can Chen Qingzhi pass the test again? ”

There is a lieutenant general who is eager to make meritorious contributions and admonishes: "The white-robed thief is stagnant, and his morale will inevitably be low." Our army is three times outnumbered, why not take advantage of the situation to kill the city and destroy the thieves in one blow? ”

Zheng Xianhu's face changed suddenly, and he shouted: "Someone! dragged this guy out, punished with thirty rods, and demoted to a pawn. He turned his head to the generals under his command and said, "Qiu Daqian also claimed to be 70,000 male soldiers and hurriedly went to battle, what was the result?" The lesson of the previous car is not far away, who dares to speak out and fight, and those who disturb the hearts of our army will be killed! ”

Zheng Xianhu may not be very good at fighting, but he is definitely not stupid, since he has to test the city's natural dangers, he made up his mind to only do a safe plan and stick to it. If you want to go down like this, once Yuan Tianmu's elite returns to the division, he can encircle and annihilate the white-robed army under the city, and it is easy to get the great work, so why take the risk?

Because of this, when Zheng Xianhu came, he asked Yuan Ziyou for military funds, and Yuan Ziyou also tried his best to agree. Pulling people to load goods, thousands of cars and horses alone were mobilized; In Kaocheng, the grain and grass are piled up as high as a hill, and they can't be eaten up in two years.

If this is the case, will Zheng Xian Hu Yan be anxious? Patience is very good, wandering around the city all day long, gathering and drinking; From time to time, I move to the city, point out the country, talk and laugh...

。。。。。。

Zheng Xianhu is not in a hurry, Chen Qingzhi is really in a hurry.

This northern expedition, although it was the temporary intention of Xiao Yan, the lord of Liang, did not expect the results at all, but Chen Qingzhi's temperament always wanted to make great contributions in order to make a name for himself. That's why he went all the way north, he Chen Qingzhi seemed to be light and light, but in fact, he meditated hard every day, and he didn't know how many calculations and plans were in his heart, and he never slacked off for a moment.

For example, the heavy snow closed the road before, and the white-robed army did not move forward, and even in the spring of the next year, the snow melted and the road opened, and it still did not move, and the big guy thought that Chen Qingzhi was lazy, so that he was negligent, and even Yuan Hao also complained. In fact, Chen Qing had already made a plan in his heart, one was to lead Naqiu Daqian into the world, and the other was more far-sighted, which was actually to paralyze Wei Ting and divert his strategic goals.

Sure enough, Wei Ting's whole body ignored the white-robed army because of this, and Yuan Tianmu led Luozhong's elite to Qidi. In this way, his white-robed army had to let go of its hands and feet and boldly march north. Otherwise, the land of Henan is all wilderness and plains, and his 7,000 white-robed army is the elite, if he fights with Yuan Tianmu tens of thousands of iron horses on the plain, the outcome is really difficult to predict.

According to Chen Qingzhi's thoughts, he was indomitable, hugged Yuan Hao all the way into Luoyang City, and drove Yuan Ziyou away. At that time, it is only necessary for Yuan Hao to ascend to the heights in the name of the emperor of Wei, presumably the followers are like clouds, and the big thing can be decided. Hugh said that Yuan Tianmu, even if Er Zhurong was in person, he might not be afraid of him. Take 10,000 steps back and say, but you have to enter Luoyang, no matter what happens later, no matter how bad it is, it also gives Xiao Yan, the lord of Liang, a big explanation, and he Chen Qingzhi can be said to be famous.

Unexpectedly, he was dragged under the examination city by this little-known Zheng Xianhu, and there was nothing to be done, wouldn't it be frustrating? What's more, when the news came, Yuan Tianmu won several battles in Qidi, and he was afraid that he would return victoriously in the near future... Could it be that this great cause of the Northern Expedition will be destroyed under the city of Kaocheng for a time?

Chen Qing was sleepless all night, got up the next morning, couldn't wash up, shouted a group of civil and military, and ordered him to go around the city again, carefully observe the terrain and situation, and agree on a strategy.

The spring breeze blows on the face of the horse's hooves. Whipping a horse in such a weather should be a beautiful thing in life, but the people on the horse are all worried.

Without him, just because of the eye, the test city is still the test city, with strong walls and deep walls; Outside the ring city, the blue waves are wrinkled by the wind, not the moat, but the moat.
