Obviously, Murong Ke occupied a good situation before, but at this time, he suddenly heard that he had withdrawn his army, and he didn't even have a single defender left, which was really a bit strange. After all, in order to defend Luoyang City before, they had spent a lot of thought. Now, it's a little too unworthy to give up like this. If that's the case, then it's better not to occupy this place in the first place!

"Let's talk about it carefully, Murong Ke would do this, it shouldn't be for nothing, right?" After thinking for a while, Li Xin asked.

"Yes, according to the latest news obtained by the spies, the subordinates think that it should be related to Jiang Zuo's sailors. Since Huan Wen mobilized a naval army to go north along Surabaya at the beginning of last month, it has finally arrived. Just the day before yesterday, Jiang Zuo's navy had already passed Chenliu and was about to enter Yishui! Qian Siye replied.

"In this way, Murong Ke's withdrawal makes sense! Now that the river is swelling, it's a good time to sail. If Jiangzuo's naval army enters Yishui, it will not be far from the big river. If they really entered the river, it would be equivalent to making a detour behind Murong Ke at once, cutting off all his connections with the north bank of the river. In addition, the big river is not an ordinary river, and it is almost all year-round in the east of Luoyang to the mouth of the sea. Basically, it can be said that as long as Huan Wen is willing, Murong Ke can be blocked in Luoyang for a year or even several years! Wang Meng was also on the side, and after hearing the news, he immediately said.

"Yes, when the time comes, even if Huan Wen doesn't fight with Murong Ke, as long as they are blocked on the line of Luoyang, they can be slowly consumed to death. What's more, Huan Wen will never let go of this opportunity, and will definitely take the opportunity to storm the counties! Although Murong Ke was prepared to transport a large amount of grain and grass from the north, he had a large number of soldiers and horses, and if he encountered a big battle again, I am afraid he would not be able to support it for too long! Tian He also said.

"Yes! I think it is precisely because of this that Murong Ke will decisively withdraw his troops. After all, if he really coveted these cities and put himself in danger, then he would not be Murong Ke. For him, the important thing is not these cities, but the tens of thousands of troops under him! As long as these armies are still in his hands, when the time is right, he will be able to fight back again! A strong man breaks his wrist, how can ordinary people have such courage! Li Xin nodded and couldn't help but praise.

"Murong Ke is a person who is cautious and careful in his use of soldiers. Unsurprisingly, it will inevitably become our fierce rival in the future! Wang Meng thought about it and said with some concern.

"You don't have to think so much about it for the time being, if you really fall in love with him, then you can think about how to deal with him! Now the question is whether the battle of Luoyang is really over! Hearing this, Li Xin couldn't help but smile, and then said thoughtfully.

"The general seems to be pointing something, I don't know what it means?" Wang Meng was slightly stunned and immediately asked.

"It's hard to say, I just think that even if Murong Ke really retreats to Hanoi and other places, he shouldn't leave so easily! After all, after fighting for so long before, making such a big battle, and looking like he was going to fight to the end, now he actually turned around and left, which is a bit too child's play. At least, for Murong Jun's side, I'm afraid it can't be explained! Li Xin shook his head and said with some uncertainty.

Although he had never personally fought with Murong Ke, Li Xin always attached an inexplicable importance to this person. Therefore, no matter what kind of behavior the other party has, he feels that there may be some other hidden secrets in it that he has not seen.

Hearing the general say this, the subordinate also felt a little strange! I just can't figure it out for a while. According to the opinion of the lower officials, we still have to be vigilant and pay close attention to the situation over there! Wang Meng pondered for a moment and finally said.

"That's right, no matter how they fight, the impact on us is not particularly big, we just need to do our own thing!" Hearing him say this, Li Xin also felt that he had overthought it, so he said to everyone.

In the county town of Henan, Huan Wen got the news of Murong Ke's withdrawal one day earlier than Li Xin. At that time, he sent 5,000 soldiers and horses to check on it, so that he would not be ambushed by the enemy when he led his army to rush there.

Today, he finally got the exact news that the enemy on the east and west sides of Luoyang had withdrawn cleanly. There is also good news, that is, the navy finally entered Yishui and rushed to Luoyang City.

"Okay, pass the order, and the army will march immediately, occupy Luoyang City first, and then plan for the long term!" Huan Wen, who heard the news, immediately rejoiced.

As soon as the military order was given, the army moved, and in the afternoon of the same day, more than 30,000 troops entered Luoyang City. At this time, Luoyang City was already in tatters.

Although Murong Ke and the others had already repaired some of it before, they almost demolished it when they left, so naturally they couldn't see where to go.

However, none of this can interfere with Huan Wen's good mood.

"General, what should we do next?" The generals and strategists all gathered around Huan Wen and asked him for instructions.

"Luoyang City has been recovered, but there are still several counties where the land is empty, and soldiers and horses are immediately assigned to garrison the counties to prevent the enemy from returning and returning. In addition, Murong Ke ambushed our army before, causing heavy losses to our army. Now that the other party has retreated in a panic, how can he let it go easily? Bengong decided to personally lead an army of 10,000 to cross the river, and he must make him pay the price! Huan Wen thought for a moment before he said.

However, as he said this, he changed his taste a little, and it could be seen that he seemed to feel very ashamed of his previous failure, and what he wanted to do at the moment was to get back on the field.

"General, since the enemy army has retreated, we have already recovered Luoyang and other places, it is better to garrison and recuperate. Although there is a naval army, it is not a problem for us to cross the river, but the north bank is enemy territory, and we may be safe if we set foot easily! Xi Chao heard this on the side, and hurriedly persuaded him.

"What Jingyu said is very true, and please think twice about the general!" The other staff members also persuaded one after another at this time.

They didn't want to follow the fight across the river, after all, it was too dangerous.

"Confused, if we don't take the opportunity to pursue the enemy army at this time, how will the other party know how powerful we are? Although Luoyang City and other places have returned to the hands of the imperial court, it is impossible for the army to stay here for a long time, and what if the enemy army comes back after our division? We must defeat them at this time, so that they do not dare to act rashly again, so that it is a long-term peace and stability policy! Everyone's exhortation made Huan Wen a little impatient, his face sank, and he reprimanded.

I have to say that Huan Wen's idea still has its reason. After all, Luoyang is a little too far away from the hinterland of Jiangzuo. On the contrary, it is relatively close to the hinterland of Yan Kingdom, and the road is much easier to walk.

Under this condition, it was also decided that if the Yan army wanted to fight Luoyang City, they would be able to pull up a large army to kill it in almost a short time.

On the other hand, on the left side of Jiangzuo, whether it is from Jiangling in Huanwen or from Jiankang, where the imperial court is located, it is not so easy to rush to Luoyang.

And it is not so appropriate to station a heavy army group in Luoyang City. Now that Murong Ke has given up the city in his hands so easily, he has withdrawn his troops and gone back, maybe he has the idea of waiting until Huan Wen withdraws his troops to take back Luoyang!

If that's the case, it's likely that Huan Wen just returned to Jiangling with his front foot, and Murong Ke came back with his back foot. At that time, could it be that Huan Wen led the army back again? That's obviously impossible!

Therefore, the best way at this time is to cross the Yellow River and launch a counteroffensive against the Yan army on the north bank. If this counterattack can inflict heavy losses on them, I am afraid that they will not dare to go south easily in the future.

Xi Chao and they are all smart people, so after hearing this, they couldn't refute it for a while.

Seeing that everyone didn't speak again, Huan Wen passed down the military order. Soon, 10,000 troops boarded the warships outside the city in batches, and then sailed towards the Yellow River. This time, Xi Chao did not go with him, but was left behind to guard Luoyang City.

"Lord Xi, what should we do?" Several officials who were responsible for staying behind with Xi Chao came to ask Xi Chao for instructions at this time!

"First restore the fortification of the city, order the sergeants to guard the main roads, repair the city walls, and guard them strictly! In addition, send people to clean up all parts of the city, and then order people to go everywhere to recruit people to return to the city to settle down! Don't disturb the people! Xi Chao looked at the surrounding scene, and after a slight groan, he commanded.

"Yes, my subordinates will go down and arrange it!" A group of officials responded.

"By the way, you can quickly send some ships to come over, large and small. In addition, I ordered someone to put away all the flags in our hands for later use! When those people were about to turn around and leave, Xi Chao suddenly stopped them again and commanded.

"My lord, the ships around here have already been searched by the Yan army before, where can we go to find the ships now?" Hearing this, everyone was stunned for a moment, and then some people showed fear and complained bitterly.

"If you can't find it, you have to look for it, the stakes are high, if there is a delay, can you afford the consequences? Don't say more, go find me at once! When Xi Chao heard this, he immediately said angrily.

"Yes, yes, the lower officials will send more people to find the ship!" Seeing that he was angry, those officials dared to say anything more, and hurriedly responded.

Watching these people leave, Xi Chao turned around and looked at the north, and after a long time, he sighed and said to himself: "I hope I'm too worried!" "Take a hundred plating" The latest chapter of the "Eastern Jin Dynasty Tang Wang's Claw Book House" is free to read for the first time.
