Outside the city of Luoyang, the battle shook the sky, there were soldiers charging and climbing everywhere, archers shot at each other, the whole city was like an island, if you looked down from the city, thousands of soldiers, like a group of ants, densely climbed up.

In the next two days, the rebel army attacked frantically, and the royal forest army in the city and the family soldiers of the nobles' mansions were all mobilized to resist to the death, and they knew in their hearts that the emperor had commanded the overall situation in Zhuo County, and several reinforcements sent were about to arrive.

"Kill—"

The siege battle became more and more intense, but it was never possible to take Luoyang City, Yang Xuangan, Li Mi and others were a little anxious, and at dusk on the second day, after Jin Ming collected his troops, Yang Xuangan looked at the afterglow of the setting sun and sighed, Luoyang City was forced to give up the attack.

"General Yang, we will withdraw our troops to the west tonight, otherwise, if our army is delayed for another day, it will fall into the blockade of the four directions, and when the time comes, it will be difficult to leave here." Li Mi tried hard to persuade him, worried that Yang Xuan would be stubborn and refused to retreat.

Yang Xuangan nodded, and asked Wei Fusi, "Wei Sheren, how is the latest military situation?" ”

Wei Fusi is a member of the imperial court, who came out of Luoyang City to fight and was captured, Yang Xuangan had dealings with him, knowing his talent, he stayed in the army and treated him politely, which is understandable, but Yang Xuangan regarded him as a confidant and let him be in charge of the handling of daily official letters.

This Wei Fusi "is in Cao Ying's heart in Han", and he is the first rat to do things in the righteous army, Li Mi knows that he has been watching and watching, and refuses to sincerely belong to him, so he privately persuaded Yang Xuangan to behead him to thank the public, Xuangan did not listen, and still used it, and he had the idea of checking and balancing the inside.

Wei Fusi said: "Back to General Yang, according to the latest battle report, Yang Yichen and Qu Tutong are still crossing the Yellow River, and there is still a day's march to reach Luoyang ten miles away. In addition, the army of the king of Qin from all walks of life has already arrived from all over the country, such as Zhang Xutuo, Wang Shichong, etc., and now our army is in short supply of food and grass, and without rear support, I am afraid that if the fierce battle continues, it will not be able to hold out for ten days, and it must be planned as soon as possible, and the army will be in chaos and will inevitably collapse. ”

Yang Xuan was worried and decided to withdraw from the army, and sent scouts with military orders to inform Yang Xuanting, who was guarding the road to the west, to speed up the attack on the defense of the imperial court defenders, take Michi and Kungu as soon as possible, and conquer Hangu Pass.

It will take some time for them to withdraw their troops from Luoyang and arrive in the Hangu area.

As soon as the military ordered, the rebels retreated overnight and marched westward.

In the night, Li Mi and Wang Bodang rode together and set off with the army, and the latter saw Pu Shangong's gloomy face and couldn't help but say: "Sir, why is your face so bad, are you sick?" ”

Li Mi shook his head and lowered his voice: "I have a hunch that this uprising is going to fail. ”

Wang Bodang was taken aback, and lowered his voice very low, and asked, "Sir, then will we continue to walk?" ”

"Well, continue to move forward, the Yang family has been gentle on me since Yang Gong was alive, and he has the grace of knowing me, rescue me once, General Yang has always been courteous to me, respected as a guest, this kindness, I want to make up for it, and I can't abandon it halfway."

Wang Bodang doubted: "However, once the uprising fails, we will be besieged, and when the time comes, it will be dangerous." ”

Li Mi sighed: "Bodang, you have followed me for several years, and you are like brothers, so it is better for you to leave secretly." ”

Wang Bodang hurriedly said: "Sir, what are you talking about, where do you go, I will naturally go, the sword mountain and the sea of fire, never frown, how can Wang Bodang be a greedy person who is afraid of death?" ”

"Okay, let's go on the road together, where the righteousness is, although tens of millions of people will go to me!" Li Mi sighed, with a bit of heroism.

In Liaodong City, Luo Zhaoyun reorganized the army here, in addition to the 100,000 horses he brought back, there were many wounded, baggage soldiers, reserve troops, strong men and so on, adding up to 200,000 people.

Luo Zhaoyun simply ordered that these wounded, laborers, and reserve troops be stationed here, build Liaodong City, rebuild some houses and military camps, and live in harmony with the local Goguryeo, Khitan, and Han people.

He wanted to make Liaodong City his own base and a place of strong troops in the north, and temporarily support his troops on the grounds of controlling Goguryeo.

The grain and grass left by Luo Zhaoyun privately, plus the hoarding in Liaodong City, is enough for two or three hundred thousand people to use for more than half a year, and the granary in Huaiyuan Town is also under the control of the Luo family.

A few days later, Luo Zhaoyun received a holy decree to go to Zhuo County to meet the saint.

"Your Majesty wants to see me?" Luo Zhaoyun was suspicious in his heart, he didn't understand why Yang Guang was in such a hurry to summon him, did he want him to continue to lead the troops and go south to quell Yang Xuangan's righteous army? Or, the matter of secretly hiding grain, grass and armor, and the East Window incident?

Luo Zhaoyun shook his head, feeling that the matter of grain and grass would not be leaked so quickly, and he would have an excuse to prevaricate if it was basically found out.

Xue Shixiong saw that his expression was different, and asked, "General Luo, what are your plans?" ”

Luo Zhaoyun said: "The holy decree says, let the army under my command stay in Liaodong City for the time being, to prevent Goguryeo counterattack, let me ride quickly, and rush to Zhuojun to see the driver, General Xue, you are in charge of military and political affairs here for the time being!" ”

"Subordinates obey!" Xue Shixiong clenched his fists and led the order.

On the same day, Luo Zhaoyun selected 300 elite guards, plus Yanyun's eighteen horsemen, and Shen Guang's escort, left Liaodong City, rode to Zhuo County, and accompanied him by a general secretary and dozens of internal guards.

After a day of traveling, near dusk, when they passed a mountain road, they suddenly rolled down a huge rock from the hillside and smashed it into the guards at the foot of the mountain.

"Oh no, I'm in ambush." Luo Zhaoyun held the spear, his face sank, who was ambushing here, knowing his route to Zhuojun? Could it be that there are spies in the army?

At this moment, those Ouchi guards suddenly turned their knives and began to slash the elite guards around them, and these people actually had problems.

Whoosh!

Fishing nets kept falling, trapping these guards and Luo Zhaoyun, and putting them to death.

"Boom!"

Shen Guang drew his sword, jumped in the air, the sword light was incomparable, burst out with sword qi, directly cut off the fishing net above his head, and after landing, he said to Luo Zhaoyun: "This road is impassable, rush to the mountains and forests over there." ”

Luo Zhaoyun nodded, with a lot of questions in his heart, but he didn't have time to think about it, and rode his horse towards the steep slope of the mountain road, and the other eighteen cavalry guards also followed.

The slope of the mountain is steep, the war horse is not strong, the speed is fast, it is easy to fall, people turn over on their backs, there are iron guards who fall off the horse, roll aside, and some people are alert in advance, and jump off the horse first, Luo Zhaoyun's mount Lu Ma, who has followed him for many years, Lao Ji Fu Fang, although close to the twilight years, but very humane, knowing that the master is in danger, so he runs like flying, and the steep slope is completely ignored.

"Woohoo!"

In the mountains and forests, nearly a hundred arrows suddenly burst out and shot out, directly attacking Luo Zhaoyun's location, and there was also an ambush here.
