Under Hua Feiyan's persuasion, Liu Xiu's anger calmed down a little, he pondered for a moment, and said, "Liu Buxin, have you ever checked the secret passage explained by the assassin?" ”

Liu Buxin hurriedly responded: "Back to Your Majesty, the villain has already gone to check." ”

Liu Xiu said in a deep voice: "You take me to see it." ”

"This ......" Liu Buxin's face was embarrassed, and he looked at Hua Feiyan for help.

Before Hua Feiyan could speak, Liu Xiu frowned and asked, "What?" I can't see that secret passage? Can't I see it yet? ”

"No, no, no!" Liu Buxin shook his head again and again, and whispered: "There is nothing special about the secret passage, if you want to say that it is special, it is that the entrance and exit are relatively hidden, but the villain thinks that His Majesty may not ...... You may not want to see the ...... in the secret passage Scenario. ”

Hearing him hesitate, Liu Xiu's brows furrowed even tighter, and she said unhappily: "Make the words clear." ”

Liu Buxin took a deep breath and said, "There is a ...... in the secret passage There are many graves. ”

Liu Xiu looked at Liu Buxin in surprise, not understanding what he meant by the corpse pit.

Liu Buxin explained: "According to the villain's inference, the corpses in the corpse pit should be ...... They should all be the people who dug the secret passage in the first place. These people are not the assassins or hidden piles of Gongsun Shu, they are most likely the exiles who have fallen to Luoyang, they control these exiles, help them dig secret passages, and after digging, they are afraid of walking news, so they will ...... And he slew them all. ”

Liu Xiu's heart was shocked, and he asked in a condensed voice, "How many corpses are there in total?" ”

Liu Buxin lowered his head and whispered, "Villain...... There are no statistics, estimates ...... It is estimated that there are ...... There were five or six hundred people. ”

Boom! The small square table beside Liu Xiu was shocked, and Liu Xiu said in a condensed voice: "It's simply unreasonable, lawless!" ”

Liu didn't believe in it and bowed forward, not daring to say more.

When he entered the secret passage and saw the corpse pits, he was also extremely shocked and angry. Liu Xiu paced back and forth in the main hall, and after walking for a while, he suddenly stopped and asked, "Did the assassin give an account of his other comrades?" ”

"Back to Your Majesty, Ruan Xiu's disciples in Luoyang City have almost been wiped out, if there are other assassins, they should be Tian Xi's disciples, but Ruan Xiu's disciples don't know where Tian Xi's disciples are."

Liu Xiu asked, "Liu doesn't believe it, do you think such a statement is credible?" ”

Liu Buxin hurriedly replied, "Your Majesty, the villain feels that the assassin is not lying. ”

Liu Xiu pondered for a moment and turned to look at Luo You. Luo You smiled bitterly and shook his head. Although she and Tian Xi's disciples were from the same school, she didn't know where her brothers and sisters were now.

She didn't come to Luoyang with her brothers, but Luoyang, who came in disguise as Kabuki and sat on a painting boat, since she arrived in Luoyang, she had never been in contact with her brothers and sisters, and she didn't know anything about their current situation.

Liu Xiu looked at Luo You for a while, and muttered: "During this time, Ruan Xiu's disciples have always been active, which is certainly related to Ruan Xiu's presence in Luoyang, but Tian Xi's disciples, are they too quiet?" Are they plotting something in the shadows? ”

Luo You whispered: "Your Majesty, Master is peaceful, he is different from Ruan Xiu, Qi Zhong, and Guan Ying. Luo You didn't help Tian Xi speak, in her mind, Tian Xi was indeed not the same as Ruan Xiu and the other three.

Ruan Xiu's anger is too heavy, he treats the enemy ruthlessly, and he treats his disciples ruthlessly, while Tian Xi is not so aggressive, he is also amiable, and treats his disciples as his own children.

Therefore, among the active Four Ah Assassins, there are very few disciples of Tian Xi.

Liu Xiu narrowed his eyes and said: "If Tian Xi can understand the current affairs and keep to himself, he may be able to have a good death, otherwise, the fate of Ruan Xiu, Qi Zhong, and Guan Ying is a lesson for him!" ”

After the moonset, through the captured assassins, the county government united with the people of Yunxi Pavilion to crack a secret passage of the four assassins. In addition, the county government and Yunxi Pavilion have also stepped up their investigation into other possible secret passages.

Now, Liu Xiu began to prepare for the royal expedition. The battle in the east had dragged on for too long, and Liu Xiu planned to deliver the final blow to Zhang Bu.

Just when Liu Xiu gathered the Beijing division army, prepared to go to Qingzhou, and made the final decisive battle with Zhang Bu, the battle report was sent back from Qingzhou first.

After Geng Yi captured Jinan, he only rested for a while, and then marched eastward, directly attacking Qi County in the east of Jinan County. After the Han army entered Qi County, it was like a bamboo, and it won successive battles, and captured Linzi, the county town of Qi County, in one go.

Qi County is a small county, and Linzi, the county seat, is also a small city, but the geographical location of Qi County and Linzi is very important.

Further east from Qi County, that is Zhang Bu's Lao Cao, Zichuan County, and Linzi City is located at the junction of Qi County and Zichuan, so it can be said that Linzi is the gateway to Zichuan.

Hearing that the Han army invaded Qi County with lightning speed, and also occupied Linzi, Zhang Bu was anxious and angry, personally ordered 200,000 troops, and brought his brothers Zhang Hong, Zhang Lan, Zhang Shou, and the generals under his command, and went straight to Linzi, wanting to fight to the death with the Han army in Linzi.

This magnificent battle of Linzi kicked off.

Zhang Bu appointed his general Chongyi as the vanguard officer, leading 20,000 elite soldiers to take the lead.

The Heavy Alien Department was one step ahead of the main army and approached Linzi. Twenty miles east of Linzi, they collided with an oncoming Han army.

This Han army is the vanguard of the Han army led by Geng Yi himself.

Looking at the campaign led by Geng Yi to conquer the east, there is an obvious characteristic, that is, fast.

Geng Yi's core idea of tactics is actually blitzkrieg. With lightning speed, we will achieve strategic goals by surprise and unpreparedness.

The Han army commanded by Geng Yi, after attacking an enemy county, did not occupy all the county towns of the county, but occupied a few key points first, opened the passage, and let their own army continue to advance proudly.

This is a classic leapfrog blitzkrieg.

After the Han army captured Linzi, Geng Yi did not order to stop and recuperate, and led the elite of 20,000 Han troops to continue to advance eastward, to skip Linzi, directly attack Zichuan, and go to take Zhang Bu's Laochao County.

Geng Yi's troops, who were advancing eastward, and Chongyi tribes, who wanted to recapture Linzi, met in the plain area twenty miles east of Linzi.

The two armies met on a narrow road, and there was nothing to say, so they arranged their own troops, went into battle in different ways, shouted and scolded the Han army, and let the Han generals come out to fight.

Chongyi, who used to be the main general of the Datong Army, did have something outstanding, and the Han army fought three generals in a row, all of which were defeated by Chongyi. In the end, Geng Yi personally went into battle and started a big battle with Chongyi in front of the two armies.

In this battle, Geng Yi wielded his brave and combative side to the fullest, and he and Chongyi fought dozens of rounds, not up or down, and in the end, the strength of the two was almost consumed, and the two ended this heads-up with a draw.

Returning to their respective positions, Geng Yi and Chongyi gave the order almost at the same time to attack.

The soldiers of the two sides advanced in reverse, and soon came into contact.

In this battle, the two sides can be described as evenly matched. The soldiers and horses on both sides are almost identical, they are all 20,000 people, the Han army is an elite soldier on this side, and the Chongyi side is also an elite old department of the Datong army.

The two armies collided with each other, and the fight was inextricable.

And in this kind of evenly matched duel, the casualties were the largest, and the casualties of the soldiers on both sides rose in a straight line. The two sides fought for less than half an hour, and due to excessive consumption, they each retreated to rest.

When the rest is almost over, it pushes back up and continues to fight.

To devour this repeated three times, and the two sides were still evenly matched. It can be said that since Geng Yi was the main general of the Eastern Crusade, it was the first time he had encountered such a strong opponent.

Chongyi is brave and brave, and the soldiers he wields are also good at fighting. If you continue to fight like this, I am afraid that your own soldiers will be exhausted. Geng Yi realized that hard fighting was not a good strategy, and decisively ordered the whole army to retreat.

Seeing that the Han army had retreated, he was overjoyed and ordered his soldiers to pursue the Han army with all his might. The Han army, led by Geng Yi, retreated again and again, and retreated back to Linzi City.

At present, the main force of the Han army is in the Linzi area.

Linzi is a small city, stationed in all the Han army soldiers and horses, so the main force of the Han army, part of the city is stationed in the city, part of the city is stationed in the north of the city, commanded by Liu Xin, and part of it is stationed in the south of the city, commanded by Chen Jun.

When Chongyi led his subordinates, regardless of the pursuit, the Han army in the city did not counterattack, but the Han army outside the city, like a big pincer, attacked the two wings of the Chongyi department.

Seeing that the Han army was overwhelming, he did not dare to fight, and ordered the withdrawal of troops.

This was the first contact between the two sides in the Battle of Linzi, and there was no clear winner or loser between the two sides.

Next, Zhang Bu led the main army and rushed to Linzi. However, the previous Chongyi led the army to successfully repel Geng Yi's troops, which made Zhang Bu feel that the Han army was nothing more than that.

Zhang Bu ordered the whole army to attack, and it was necessary to recapture Linzi in one go. Linzi is a small city, and the strength of the Han army is far less than that of Zhang Bujun, so in Zhang Bu's view, this battle is a victory that can be captured.

However, Zhang Bujun had not advanced to the front of Linzi City, and Liu Xinjun, who was stationed in the north of Linzi City, left the camp and took the initiative to meet Zhang Bujun. The two sides lined up outside Linzi City and launched a fierce battle.

In this battle, Zhang Bujun's strength was far more than Liu Xin's, but the Han army led by Liu Xin showed strong combat effectiveness and stubbornly withstood the attack of 200,000 Zhang Bujun.

When the battle between the two sides reached a fever pitch, Chen Jun led his troops to join the battle.

With the entry of Chen Jun's troops into the battle, Zhang Bu had to divide his troops to fight, with one part of his forces against Liu Xin's army in front and the other part of his forces against Chen Jun's army on the flank.

At this time, looking at the situation on the battlefield, Zhang Bujun still has the advantage. On the Han side, it was mainly on the defensive.

The battle between the two sides lasted from morning to afternoon, and just when the soldiers on both sides were gritting their teeth and holding on, Geng Yi in Linzi City attacked.

Geng Yi personally commanded a cavalry, rushed out of Linzi City, and inserted into Zhang Bu's infantry phalanx with lightning speed. Geng Yi is from Shanggu County in Youzhou, and the most famous Youzhou soldier is the Youzhou Assault Cavalry.

Commanding the infantry is not what Geng Yi is best at, commanding the cavalry is Geng Yi's old job.

Geng Yi, who led the cavalry, entered Zhang Bu's army, it was really like entering a no-man's land, and even the old department of the Datong Army, which was very different, was defeated by the cavalry led by Geng Yi.

This cavalry, like a sharp blade, pierced deep into Zhang Bujun's chest.

Zhang Bujun was in chaos, and Zhang Bu himself was so frightened that he hurriedly ordered the whole army to retreat. Zhang Bujun, who had 200,000 troops, was defeated by Geng Yi in the first decisive battle between the two sides.

The next day, Zhang Bu regrouped and led his troops into battle again, intending to capture Linzi. The Han army with Geng Yi as the leader did not disdain to defend the city at all, and the soldiers of the Han army took the initiative to go out of the city and start a face-to-face duel with Zhang Bujun again.
