To say that Murong Chui's eyes are indeed very vicious! After all, Yi County, where he was at this time, was not particularly far from the Yellow River in the south. Moreover, just south of Yi County, on the riverside, there is a small ~ Pingjin Pass, where there is a ferry. As long as you cross the river from this ferry, you will enter the territory of Heyin County, Henan County. And this place, in fact, is at the junction with Luoyang County, and it is not far from Luoyang City.

But for Murong Chui, after coming ashore from Heyin County, he marched all the way west, and after passing Xin'an County in Hongnong County, he could reach Nanling Pass, which was more than 300 miles away.

Today's Nanling Pass is guarded by Chen Kang, with 2,000 soldiers and horses! In addition, there are also town troops in Shaanxi County and other places, and this force is actually not small. But the problem is that compared to Murong Chui's army, it is still much worse.

On the face of it, this plan is very feasible, and it can bypass the unfavorable road to enter the army by taking a path that can fully exploit its numerical advantage.

Of course, if you think about it, you will find that there is a problem.

"General! Although this plan is good, have you forgotten that Luoyang City and Xin'an County and other places are now under Jiang Zuo's control! If we cross the river from the north of Luoyang, and then go through Luoyang County and Xin'an County to attack Nanling Pass, how can the other party sit idly by? In case the other party suddenly kills us when we are engaged in the battle with the Huashan Army, won't we be attacked from the back? Soon, one of the generals raised the question.

"That's right! In addition, now on the Qingzhou side, the King of Taiyuan is at war with Duan Niche, and Jiang Zuo has also sent reinforcements to rescue Duan Niche, so how can the Jin army in Luoyang City let us pass? "Others also find it unlikely.

"Listen to me, everybody! There are Jiangzuo's soldiers and horses in Luoyang City, but they add up to only 2,000 people, and there are even fewer people in Xin'an County and other places. Besides, don't you all know what kind of virtue those people in Jiangzuo are? I really saw that our army was killed, and it was too late to defend ourselves, so how dare you go out of the city to intercept us? Besides, if the other party really comes out of the city, let's just have a big fight with them! I think that the credit for winning Luoyang should be no less than the credit for winning Yiguan and other places, right? What do you think? Seeing everyone's suspicious eyes, Murong Chui was not panicked at all, and said lightly.

This credit is not only not small, it should be said that it should be greater. After all, Luoyang has its own special political significance, which cannot be compared with Hongnong and other places.

Of course, if you think about it from a practical point of view, Hongnong is the main road to Guanzhong, and it is naturally of higher value.

"Again, although the relationship between Li Xin of the Huashan Army and Huan Wen is okay, in Jiang Zuo's eyes, what is the difference between the Huashan Army and other separatist forces? Will they send troops for the sake of someone who has not submitted to them? If they see us fighting with the Huashan Army, they will be very happy! Seeing that everyone was excited, Murong Chui said while the iron was hot.

"The general's words are reasonable, anyway, we haven't made much progress here, so it's better to give it a try. If the gap is really opened over there, it will be much easier! When it came to this, the other generals agreed.

After all, the credit is clearly placed there, and whoever doesn't take it will be stupid~.

"However, this matter is very important, should we ask Your Majesty for instructions?" But some generals also had scruples, so they proposed at this time.

"It's a long way to Jidu, and if you send someone back to ask for instructions, I'm afraid it will take several days. In this way, the fighter plane is fleeting, in case Li Xin frees up his hands in other places, it will not be easy for us to find such a good opportunity again! For this idea, after Murong pondered for a while, he still shook his head and refused.

"That being said, we should still play it! In my opinion, it is better for us to act and state this matter directly. Come to think of it, Your Majesty should understand why we are doing this! ”

What he said also makes sense, originally the Nanling Pass was aimed at the small number of soldiers over there and the large defense area! If the Huashan Army reacts and increases its troops first, it will not be easy to fight. However, they were worried that changing the strategy of the army without authorization might lead to serious consequences, so some people retreated to the next best thing.

"Okay, I'll write a piece and send it to Jidu! Hurry up and get ready! I decided to leave behind 6,000 soldiers and horses to continue the attack on Yiguan and Wanzichengguan, and the rest of the army would follow me across the river and march westward. Murong thought about it, this is also a way, in order to avoid Murong Jun from finding trouble for himself afterwards, it is better to be safe! So, he changed his words.

"Yes, let's arrange this!" The generals responded in unison, and then turned to leave.

After Murong Chui's memora was written, he sent an envoy to send it back to Jidu in an expedited manner of eight hundred li. However, Yixian County is nearly 2,000 miles away from Jidu, and even if it is really 800 miles, it will take five days to go back and forth.

It was naturally impossible to wait for Jidu's reply, so it took him a day to gather the soldiers and horses back, and then rearrange them.

And at this time, the generals under him also found all the ships! In the afternoon of the next day, Murong Chui took more than 10,000 people to cross the river from Xiao~Pingjin.

Opposite to Xiao~Pingjin, it was later Mengjin County. This place was the famous ferry port in the past, and because of its proximity to the capital Luoyang during the Eastern Han Dynasty, this area is very convenient for both land and water transportation.

Although it has changed dramatically now, at least the foundation is still there, and it is not difficult to let more than 10,000 troops cross the river.

However, since Hanoi County was occupied by the Yan State, and moreover, Murong Chui led the army to fight against the Huashan Army on the other side of the river! Therefore, Huan Wen left the soldiers and horses stationed in Luoyang City, and specially sent some people to guard the south bank of the Yellow River to monitor.

As soon as these people found out that the Yan army on the other side wanted to cross the river, they immediately sent someone to report to the defenders in Luoyang City.

At the beginning, Huan Wen went north to crusade ~ Yao Xiang, Yao Xiang was defeated and fled, and Huan Wen took the opportunity to take back Luoyang, which was occupied by the rebel Zhou Cheng. However, he did not stay in Luoyang City for long, and waited until he met with Li Xin and got the news that Yao Xiang's army had been defeated and killed, and then led the army back.

When he returned, he specially left Yingchuan Taishou Mao Muzhi, Chen Wu to supervise Chen Wu, and Henan Taishou Dai Shi to garrison Luoyang with 2,000 people to guard the clan garden there! He took a large army and moved Zhou Cheng and thousands of generals to the southern region.

There are only 2,000 guards in the huge Luoyang City, and there are even fewer soldiers and horses in the surrounding counties such as Huangchi and Xin'an. Among these counties, there are only five or six hundred, and the few are only two or three hundred.

And Henan County, where Luoyang is located, is in the land of four wars, and Xingyang County in the east, most of the place is under the control of the Yan army at this time. Not to mention the north, the area north of the Yellow River and east of the Taihang Mountains at this time is the territory of the Yan Kingdom.

To the south is Jiangzuo's own place, but there is no problem, and to the west is the Huashan Army, which is also safe.

To be honest, Li Xin couldn't help but shake his head after knowing about such an arrangement. I don't know what Huan Wen thinks, or rather, he doesn't want to involve his forces in this place!

After all, his base camp is still in the middle and upper reaches of the Yangtze River, and Jiangling is where it is fundamental!

This also led to a problem, when Mao Muzhi, Chen Wu and Dai Shi got the news from the front and knew that Murong Chui's army had begun to cross the river, they were all shocked. The three of them hurriedly sat down together and began to discuss this matter.

"Isn't Murong Chui attacking Yiguan and Wanzi City? Why did you suddenly lead your army south? Mao Muzhi was a little anxious and said.

"Who knows! I heard that he has been fighting there for a month, and he has not advanced a single step. Perhaps, it was because he couldn't attack it, so he changed his mind! Yiguan and Bowl City are not easy to fight, and our Luoyang City may not be! Not to mention Luoyang City, even if it is the surrounding counties such as Heyin and Xin'an, which one is not easier than Yiguan and Wanzi City! Chen Wu shook his head and guessed.

"Yes! Our total strength here is less than 5,000, and if it were me, I would have found it here!" Anyway, it's the same everywhere, and I'm afraid it's a great success to conquer Luoyang and the surrounding counties! Dash apparently thinks the same.

"How's that for good? It is still difficult for us to defend ourselves with troops, let alone support other counties! Why don't we stop them on the south bank while they haven't crossed the river yet? As long as the other party can't get over, there shouldn't be any problem if you think about it! Mao Muzhi thought for a moment and proposed.

"No, our troops are not enough to defend the entire south bank, the other side has a large number of troops, if we really want to cross the river, we are afraid that we will not be able to stop it! The only way to do this is to prepare to defend the city on the one hand, and on the other hand, quickly send someone to report to the general and the court! When Chen Wu heard this, he directly shook his head and denied it.

"Report, enlighten the three adults, Murong Chui sent someone to send a letter, please take a look!" Just as the three of them were grim, someone suddenly ran in from outside the door and presented a letter.

"Oh? Hurry up and get it! Hearing this, the three of them were stunned, and after glancing at each other, Mao Muzhi hurriedly said.

"I'm afraid this isn't a letter of persuasion!" Chen Wu said as he leaned over to look.

The letter was not a few words, just a few words. After reading it, Dai Shi seemed to be relieved, and said: "It's not a letter of persuasion, it turns out to explain its purpose to us." The other party crossed the river in order to fight Nanling Pass and Kip Shi Pass! ”

"If that's the case, it's okay, I'm afraid that the other party is a false plan! Use this letter to paralyze us and others, and then take advantage of our unpreparedness to take the opportunity to kill the generals and take Luoyang City. In this case, wouldn't we have fallen for him? Mao Muzhi said with some concern.
