That night, in order to celebrate his successful repulsion of the menacing Han army, Chen Wang held a celebration banquet in the city to reward the three armies.

For Chen Wang's approach, the following generals were quite worried, and proposed to Chen Wang that the enemy army only retreated, but did not evacuate, and is now stationed outside the city, and it is really inappropriate for them to hold a celebration banquet at this time, in case the enemy army comes to steal the city at night, how can they deal with it?

After listening to the words of his subordinates, Chen Wang was unimpressed, and the old god said on the ground: "The enemy army has come from a long journey, and it is already exhausted, and after an afternoon of siege of the city, it has returned in vain, and the morale is even lower, do you think the enemy army will come to attack tonight?"

It's a joke! ”

The generals below were still very convinced of Chen Wang, and seeing that he was so confident, people couldn't say anything more.

According to Chen Wang's meaning, this night, the defenders improved their food, adding meat and meals, and drinking wine.

After the banquet, the defenders of the military camp in the city were almost drunk, and even the main general Chen Wang was very drunk, and was supported by his subordinates and returned to the barracks to rest.

In the first half of the night, the wind was calm, and in the second half of the night, Long Yuan, Long Zhun, Long Xiao, Xuying, Xuting, and Xufei led hundreds of elites to quietly touch the city of Luoyang.

They hung their claws on the top of the city, and with the help of ropes, they climbed up to the city.

Don't look at the many torches on the head of the city of Luoyang, as far as the eye can see, the fire is bright, as if it is heavily guarded, but in fact, there are not a few soldiers standing guard at the head of the city, and most of the torches are inserted in the arrow stacks.

Long Yuan and the others silently climbed to the top of the city and killed several soldiers who were dozing off with lightning speed.

Then they quickly ran down the wall and came to the vicinity of the gate hole.

There were more than a dozen soldiers in the handle, but without exception, all the soldiers were napping, and even snoring could be heard.

Seeing the situation clearly, Long Yuan and the others raised their legs, landed lightly, and touched them little by little.

When they reached the gate, they held the soldier's mouth with one hand and a dagger in the other, either slashing the soldier's throat or stabbing the other man's heart.

A dozen soldiers, without even the slightest shout, were killed.

Then, everyone worked together to remove the heavy bolt of the city gate and slowly opened the city gate.

Only opened to a gap, Long Yuan flashed out sideways, lit the torch that had been prepared long ago, and shook it back and forth outside.

Seeing Long Yuan's signal, the Han army, which had already been lying a hundred steps away from Luoyang, got up from the ground one after another, grabbed the bell, and quickly ran towards the city gate.

Boom - It wasn't until the Han army had run near the city gate that the napping defenders at the head of the city were awakened by the sound of footsteps.

People opened their sleepy eyes, completely unaware of what was going on.

I don't know who it was, but I was the first to scream: "Enemy! It's the enemy! The enemy army is in the city! ”

This voice successfully sobered up the defenders at the head of the city.

People stood up one after another, and in a panic picked up their crossbow machines, trying to block the Han army's entry into the city, but it was too late, at this time, the city gate had been opened, and a large number of Han troops poured into the city like a tide.

The sporadic defenders at the head of the city shot arrows into the crowd of Han troops, as if they were sinking into the sea, and they could not set off a single wave.

Soon, a Han army rushed up the steps to the city, and when they saw the figure of the defenders, they rushed up with spears.

The 20,000 Han troops have entered the city of more than 10,000 people, and the defenders in the city reacted. ”

"The enemy has entered the city!"

The defenders in the "......" barracks woke up from their sleep one after another, and many of them wore only a pair of white profane pants when they ran out of the camp.

Originally, some soldiers took up arms to defend against the Han army entering the city, but soon, they heard the order from above and all of them retreated.

This order was given by Chen Wang, and after giving the order to retreat, Chen Wang took a group of confidants and generals and fled in a hurry along the west city gate.

The main generals of their own side have all fled, where do the soldiers below still have the fighting spirit to continue fighting?

The defenders, who were close to 10,000, barely put up any resistance, and all fled in the direction of Xicheng.

The scene was chaotic, people shouted and neighed, and there was no need for the Han army to fight over, just people pushed each other when they ran for their lives, and the casualties caused by trampling on each other were nearly 1,000 people.

In the battle of Lüyang, the Han army's side was completely effortless, and they easily defeated the defenders and successfully captured the whole city.

To be more precise, there was no battle between the defenders of Lüyang and the Han army, and as soon as the Han army entered the city, the defenders had already run away.

Don't look at this battle, the Han army fought very easily, but it was of great significance.

Lüyang is close to the center of Hanyang County, which is an extremely important strategic hub, and the occupation of Lüyang is like the Han army planting a nail in the central hinterland of Hanyang.

In addition, there are a large number of grain, grass, and armaments hoarded in the city of Luoyang, and these things were not taken away by the defenders when they fled for their lives, and now they all fell into the hands of the Han army.

The 20,000 Han troops led by Liu Xiu went into battle lightly, with only rations on their bodies, no food reserves in the army, and no logistical supplies.

At the beginning, Liu Xiu brought She to war, but many people still didn't understand, thinking that Lai She was just a civil official and couldn't fight, and it would be a burden to bring him.

After the battle of Lüyang, no one said that it was a burden to come to She, and if there was no Laishe, it would be impossible for the Han army to take Lüeyang so easily.

The Han army suddenly appeared in Lüyang, and took Lüyang in one fell swoop, and the news soon spread to Shangti.

After hearing this, Kui Huan couldn't believe his ears, how did the Han army suddenly appear in Luoyang?

Why didn't you hear any news?

Besides, the Han army only has 20,000 people, and the defenders of Luoyang have 10,000 people, and it is impossible for 20,000 people to attack the 10,000 garrisoned cities! When Chen Wang fled back to Shangqi with the remnants of the defeated army, after seeing Kui Huan, he told Kui Huan about his defeat one by one.

I heard that after Chen Wang repelled the Han army, he held a banquet that night to reward the three armies, causing most of the defenders to get drunk, and the enemy army took advantage of the night to steal the city, and almost fell into anger.

You've only repelled one enemy siege, do you think you've won?

Also reward the three armies?

It's all about war.

Kui Huan was so angry that his face was red and his neck was thick, and he pointed at Chen Wang, who was kneeling below, and he didn't say anything for a long time.

After holding it for a long time, he roared angrily: "Someone! Immediately drag this shaft and behead it for public display! ”

Chen Wang's face was so frightened that his face was bloodless, and he kowtowed forward again and again, crying out: "The king spares his life!" The king spares his life! ”

"Slash!"

Kui was so angry that his eyebrows stood up, his beard and hair were all open, his face was red and his neck was thick.

Seeing this, Wang Zun hurriedly stepped out of the queue and said to Kui Huan: "The king is angry! Now that the enemy army has entered the country, it is the time for our army to employ people, not to mention, the killing of the general at the moment is also a big blow to the morale of our army! I hope the king thinks twice! ”

Wang Yuan knew that Wang Zun and Chen Wang had a deep friendship, he pondered for a while, but still stepped out of the ranks, and arched his hand and said: "King, this time, Chen Wang did make a big mistake, and the blame cannot be escaped, but I still hope that the king will look at Chen Wang's love for many years and give him a chance to make meritorious contributions!" ”

Wang Zun and Wang Yuan, the two generals, both pleaded for Chen Wang, and the rest of the generals also came out one after another, and said: "I hope that the king will give Chen Wang another chance to make up for his merits!" ”

Niu Han also said: "King, victory and defeat are a common thing in soldiers, this time Chen Wang is defeated, the king will kill him, this ...... It will chill the soldiers! ”

Niu Han is a general under Kui Huan and a tiger general.

If you want to talk about force, Niu Han can be called the champion of the three armies, and if you want to say that you can command the soldiers and horses, it is also a handsome talent who strategizes and wins thousands of miles.

Under the command of Kui Huan, Niu Han is one of the few all-rounders in civil and military affairs, and he is also very appreciated and respected by Kui Huan.

Seeing that all the generals under his command interceded for Chen Wang, the anger of Kui Huan finally disappeared a little.

He glared at Chen Wang angrily, gritted his teeth and said, "The death penalty can be avoided, but the living crime is unforgivable!" Drag Chen Wang out and take a hundred military sticks seriously! ”

This time, everyone didn't persuade again, and bowed to Kui Huan and said, "The king is wise! ”

Deliberately selling a flaw, giving the Han army a city, and paving a way for his future, at the cost of a hundred military sticks, this is too good for Chen Wang.

Don't talk about Chen Wang, but talk about Kui Huan.

He looked at the ministers below and asked, "Now that the enemy army has captured Lüyang, how should we respond?" ”

Wang Yuan narrowed his eyes and said, "Great King, the enemy army is only 20,000 people, so there is nothing to worry about, what Weichen is worried about is that the enemy army and follow-up soldiers and horses will enter Hanyang!" ”

Hearing Wang Yuan's words, everyone nodded one after another, thinking that it made sense.

With 300,000 troops in their hands, and only 20,000 enemy troops, it is indeed nothing, the key is that the main force of the Han army is attacking in, how should you deal with it?

Kui Huan is not a person who is good at leading troops to fight, he is a master of governance, but he can only be regarded as a layman when fighting.

He looked at Wang Yuan intently and asked, "General Wang, what do you think?" ”

Wang Yuan Zhengse said: "The enemy army that captured Luoyang is only the vanguard of the enemy, and the main force of the enemy army will definitely follow closely and advance close to Hanyang. ”

Kui Huan frowned and asked, "So, this enemy army that captured Luoyang, we don't care?" ”

Wang Yuan smiled and said: "As long as the main force of the enemy army is blocked outside Hanyang, the enemy army in this Luoyang City will be the turtle in the urn!" ”

"Even if it is a turtle in an urn, we need to divide our forces and surround and annihilate it!"

The one who spoke was the general's patrol.

Among the hustle and bustle of Kui, the patrol is also a general with No. 1.

General Li Guang continued: "Our army has to block the main force of the enemy army again, and we have to divide our troops to annihilate the enemy army in Luoyang City, I am afraid that the strength of our army will be insufficient!" ”

Wang Yuan had already thought of this question, and he happily reminded: "Great King, the Son of Heaven in Shu is no longer fighting in Nanjun. ”

Kui Huan didn't understand what Wang Yuan meant for a while, blinked his eyes, a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and he exclaimed: "What does General Wang mean, we can ask Gongsun Shu for help?" ”

Wang Yuan nodded and said with a smile: "The king respects Gongsun Shu as the Son of Heaven, and now that the king is in trouble, how can Gongsun Shu sit idly by?"

If we fight against Luoyang alone, we will indeed be powerless, but if we join forces with Gongsun Shu to deal with Luoyang together, then it will no longer be us who are powerless. ”

After hearing this, Kui Huan's eyes lit up, he stroked his palms and smiled, and praised: "What Hui Meng (Wang Yuanzi Hui Meng) said won my heart!" ”

After a pause, he said excitedly: "I'll repair the book for Chengdu later, and ask Chengdu to send troops to help!" ”

Wang Yuan bowed his hand and said, "The king is wise! ”

Kui Huan asked, "Where is our army going to defend against the enemy?" ”

Wang Yuan thought for a while and said, "Longdi, Fanxukou, Jitoudao, Wating!" ”

Fanxukou, Jitoudao, and Wating are all at the junction of Hanyang and Anding, and even Longdi, some of them are near the junction of Hanyang and Anding.

Through the defense points mentioned by Wang Yuan, it is not difficult to see that Wang Yuan put the focus of his own defense on the side of Anding County.

Kui Huan thought for a while and asked curiously, "Why is Hui Meng so armed?" ”

Wang Yuan said meaningfully: "Liu Xiu is not terrible, Wu Han, Geng Yi, Cen Peng, and Gai Yan are not terrible, among the enemy army, what really makes Wei Chen deeply jealous is...... Feng Yi! ”

He was really scared by Feng Yi, and as soon as Feng Yi's name was mentioned, Wang Yuan had a headache.

Of course, Wang Yuan is not the only one who is afraid of Feng Yi on Kui Huan's side, there is another one, the general Zhou Zong.

Zhou Zong, like Wang Yuan, was also scared by Feng Yi, these two can be called difficult brothers.

At the beginning, the 100,000 army died in stability, with both Wang Yuan's 'merit' and Zhou Zong's 'merit'.
