Chapter 162 - I don't want to be an emperor
"Big brother, there is Luoyang City in front." In Li Maozhen's army, Yang Shouliang pointed to the towering city wall of Luoyang City and said excitedly.
"I heard that this city is very rich, we can not only make a fortune this time, but also make a good profit." Wang Xingyu waved the horse rope in his hand and said with a wink.
"There are many armies in this city, we have to be cautious, second brother and third brother, don't let your guard down too much, let's go, let's go back first, and then come to steal the city when it gets dark." Li Maozhen nodded, looked at the heavily guarded Luoyang City, and said with a solemn face.
"Yes!"
As soon as the words fell, the three of them took hundreds of cavalry and left Luoyang City.
100,000 troops, Li Maozhen left 5,000 elites to stay in Shaanzhou City, and all the others were brought over, and the soldiers had begun to build camps and fortifications on the spot.
The camp of the 90,000-strong army was lined up, and all the soldiers were doing their own thing, without the slightest clutter, and they were indeed well-trained.
Along with the escort of the army, there were also a large number of siege equipment, most of which were moved from the armory of Shaanzhou City, and there were many ballistae.
Of course, although these things are available, they may not necessarily be used, after all, Li Maozhen does not plan to storm Luoyang City this time.

"Master Du, what do you think of this wine?" On King Ji's mansion, King Ji poured a glass of distilled liquor for Du Rangneng and said with a smile.
"Good wine, good wine, I didn't expect the prince to have such a treasure here, this must be the immortal drunk who just pushed out of the Drunken Immortal Building recently, right?" Du Rangneng picked up the wine glass and took two sips gently, his eyes lit up.
"Master Du really has taste, that's right, this is that immortal drunk." King Ji smiled and said with a smug face.
Du Rang was able to grab the wine jug on the table, fill it for himself again, and dry it down in one sip, then said with a satisfied face, "Good wine, this wine is not cheap, and only people of the status of the prince can drink it often, the old minister has also seen this wine in this drunken fairy building, but unfortunately the price is expensive, not the old minister can afford it." ”
"If Lord Du likes it, you can bring a few more jars back later, just a little wine, this king can still afford it." King Ji waved his hand and said nonchalantly, "Your Majesty is too, such as Du Xiang, a pillar of the country, who gives too little moon, and he can't even afford a few glasses of wine." ”
"Lord Prudence!" As soon as King Ji's words fell, Du Rangneng's face changed, put the wine glass on the table, and said coldly, "Could it be that the prince called the old minister to come just to drink?" Just say what's going on. ”
King Ji paused for a moment, and then knew that he was speechless, after all, Du Rangneng and these old ministers still had great respect for Zhao Fan, and hurriedly changed the topic and said, "Lord Du, who do you think is the most qualified to inherit the Tang Dynasty in this world?" ”
"It's... Now that the adults have already chosen the results, why does Your Highness ask me again? Du Rangneng stared at King Ji twice and said softly.
"The result is there, but now that the court is controlled by that horseman, and the city is even denser, what can we do now?" King Ji sighed, frowned slightly, and said.
"Why did the prince behave like this, since the prince called the old minister, he must have already had a countermeasure, if the prince can't trust the old minister, the old minister will retire first." Du Rangneng put down the wine glass in his hand, saluted King Ji, got up and prepared to leave.
"Master Du, slow down!" Seeing that Du Rangneng was so decisive, King Ji hurriedly got up and grabbed him, and said softly, "Lord Du, don't be impatient, please listen to this king." ”
King Ji pressed Du Rangneng to the chair, and said with some sensationalism, "Now that Your Majesty has passed away, this Tang Dynasty is about to have no successor, falling into the hands of thieves, although my King Ji is not virtuous and incompetent, but he still knows the etiquette of loyalty and filial piety, although he is unwilling in his heart, he also has to stand up and provoke this thousand catties of burden, just for the Tang Dynasty to be able to live and work for generations, and my Tang people can live and work in peace and contentment." ”
King Ji paused, glanced at Du Rangneng, and said in a deep voice, "At this moment, only by leading the army to King Qin can the current situation be completely resolved." ”
King Ji said passionately, but Du Rangneng secretly rolled his eyes, this thing is really not ordinarily thick, he doesn't want to be an emperor yet, he just reluctantly himself, and he doesn't know who sent out those killers who were patrolling around outside Luoyang City and waiting for an opportunity to attack Zhao Fan...
"What does the prince mean is that he wants to recruit the feudal town into Luoyang and expel the Heavenly Mandate Army in the city?" Du Rangneng frowned, and said with some hesitation, "But if you let the feudal town fight the Heavenly Mandate Army in the city, won't the people in the city suffer heavy casualties?" ”
"If you want to achieve great things, it is inevitable that a few people will die, if this thing does not work, I am afraid that the world will be disrupted, and more people will die at that time." King Ji nodded and said with a sad face.
Du Rang can look at King Ji who is pretending to be a posture, but there is a sneer in his heart, just you idiot, the people of Chang'an City have run away, but you don't know anything, just a person like you, and still delusional about being called the emperor, it is simply wishful thinking.
"Who does the prince mean by recruiting into the city?"
Although Du Rangneng was extremely disdainful of King Ji in his heart, he couldn't say this, but instead asked with a curious face.
"This king thinks that Li Maozhen and Master Li are very good." King Ji secretly looked at Du Rangneng as he spoke, and said with some confidence.
Sure enough, as soon as King Ji's words fell, Du Rangneng jumped up and said with some excitement, "Li Maozhen? Never! Lord Wang, this Li Maozhen is the murderer of His Majesty, how can you let him come to King Qin? Wouldn't that be... Isn't it..."
"Master Du, don't be excited, now around us, except for Li Maozhen, who else can break through the siege and come to Luoyang to come to King Qin?" King Ji cleared his throat and said in a deep voice.
"Your Majesty's blood feud, this king does not dare to forget for a moment, but now that the enemy is current, he can't take care of those, for the foundation of the Tang Dynasty, this king can only endure the humiliation and walk with the wolf. When the king comes to his senses, he will definitely break the corpses of the three dog thieves who plotted to kill His Majesty into ten thousand pieces, so as to comfort His Majesty's soul in the sky. ”
"That's... That's all there is to it..."Du Rangneng sighed and said a little tiredly.
"This king has one more thing to ask for, and I hope Lord Du can help." Seeing that Du Rang could let go of his mouth, King Ji couldn't help but sigh and said with a happy face.
"Lord Wang, please speak."
"Lord Du is among the guards of the city gate, what cronies do you have?"
