As soon as the time entered February, the land of the Central Plains was still covered with this vast snowfall, and the Ming army did not declare war.

Wang Yan took Li Dingguo as the vanguard officer, led 30,000 Zhongyi Town, went out of Ruzhou to raid Longmen Pass, broke Yiyang and killed Shang Kexi's brother Shang Kehe, beheaded the general Hani, killed more than 10,000 Qing troops, and Heluo was shocked.

Shang Kexi and Doni saw Wang Yan appear in Henan, and they had already made preparations to guard against the attack of the Ming army, but when it was snowing heavily, they both judged that the Ming army would launch an attack after the ice and snow melted, but they did not want the Ming army to attack suddenly.

With Wang Yan's urine nature, he wants to raise a large army to conquer, and most of them will first write an essay that he thinks is brilliant, spread it to all directions, make the movement big, and then bring the army here.

This is the urine nature of his literati commanding troops, he sent troops to Huguang, Zhangquan in the east, Sichuan and Shu in the west, and Nanjing in the west.

This time, Shang Kexi was waiting to see how Wang Yan was going to scold him in the text, and he didn't want Wang to play cards according to the routine this time, so he actually started to fight directly, and knocked out 10,000 of him when he came up, and beat him stunned with one punch.

Wang Yan appeared in Henan, so that the Qing army estimated that the Ming army would attack Heluo, but Shang Kexi was not sure, because the Qing army had a lot of troops in Heluo, Wang Yan fought Heluo is a hard hit, he felt that the Ming army actually had a better choice, but this time Wang Yan did not play according to the routine, and directly raided, but made him believe that the Ming army was attacking Heluo.

After the Longmen Pass was broken, the Ming army had opened the passage to Luoyang, Shang Kexi realized the crisis of the situation, and thought that Wang Yan wanted to take advantage of the Qing army in Shanxi to suppress the rebellion in Shanxi, and take Luoyang with lightning speed, so he should ask Dolgon for help again.

And in Luoyang City, because the Ming army was approaching Luoyang, the fear in the city spread like a plague.

The Ming army approached Luoyang, the Qing Dynasty was fighting, defending, or abandoning, which needed to have a decision, rumors spread in the city, many people said that King Zhishun had withdrawn his family, and the Qing army would abandon Luoyang, provoking many people to come to the palace to inquire about the news.

"Lord Wang, Lord Wang!" Fan Chengmo, the governor of Henan in the Qing court, hurriedly walked into the palace and kept calling from afar.

Fan Chengmo is the second son of Fan Wencheng, a university scholar, thanks to his father's blessing, he achieved the position of governor of Henan at the age of 30, and as the son of Fan Wencheng, he was as loyal to the Manchus as his father.

This good slave of the Qing Dynasty, the conscientious Futai of Henan, seems to have been running outside for a short time, and on a cold day, beads of sweat actually ran out of his forehead under the bowl hat on his head, and he didn't care to wipe it.

"Alas, Fan Futai, what's the matter?" Shang Kexi looked at Fan Chengmo who came in and was a little upset, he was no better, his face was tired, as if he hadn't slept, his eyes were red, and the whole person looked a little irritable.

Fan Chengmo breathlessly said: "Last night there was a riot in the city, a team of flag soldiers broke into the Chungcheong, beat the shopkeeper to a serious injury, and robbed all the money in the store, and several large households on West Street were also looted. The prince has to take care of it, and before he fights, the city will be in chaos first......"

"Straight lady thief, it's the other way around! At this time, he still caused chaos to this king, did Fan Futai have no soldiers in his hands? Catch it and give Lao Tzu the right law! "Don't ask Lao Tzu!" Shang Kexi threw away the military newspaper in his hand and scolded through gritted teeth.

Fan Chengmo's face was not good, Shang Kexi reacted, and hurriedly said: "Fan Futai, I'm not talking about you, nor am I sincerely taking advantage of you, it's just that there have been a lot of things recently, and I have become more angry, and you can see that my mouth is foaming." Don't mind what you said just now, if there are any more people in the city who take advantage of the chaos to cause trouble, the people who raise the standard can deal with it directly, including the king's bannermen, you don't need to ask the king again! ”

Fan Chengmo said with a sad face: "What about the Eight Banners of Manmeng? ”

Shang Kexi heard this, and the anger in his heart was ignited again, Mom sells batches, you are the governor of a province, don't you have any responsibility?

Shang Kexi let out a heavy breath in his nostrils and endured his anger, "At this time, the king of heaven and Lao Tzu came to make trouble for this king, and this king did the same!" ”

After saying that, he immediately yelled outside: "Go! Let the blue flag patrol the city again to see who dares to turn against the sky! ”

This Fan Chengmo and his father have a virtue, his father and daughter-in-law were robbed by Duoduo and didn't dare to know it, and he was still estimated to be full of Mongolia at this time, his mother's boat was about to capsize, didn't he have any points in his heart? has no responsibility at all, it's not his father, can he be a governor?

Fan Chengmo was furious when he saw Shang Kexi, and he still had something to say, but he swallowed it back into his stomach. However, he didn't have to ask about other things, but there was one thing he had to figure out, he hesitated, and still asked, "Prince, I heard that the prince has sent his family out of Luoyang, did the prince get an order from the court to give up Luoyang?" ”

Shang Kexi is really going to be angry with this guy today, seeing that he is busy and sweating, but he hasn't done a serious job, just making him sad, he can't even catch up with half of his father.

"Who the hell said that this king sent his family away?" Shang Ke was overjoyed, his face turned red, "You are the governor of Henan, the imperial court really wants to give up Luoyang, don't you know?" Who the hell is spreading rumors and shaking Lao Tzu's military heart! ”

Fan Chengmo thought about it, he must have known such a big thing, and at this moment, a young general in military uniform rushed into the hall, clasped his fists and saluted, and said loudly: "Father, the Ming army sentry has arrived in Luoyang, and they are still provoking us, do we give a counterattack, let them know how powerful we are, don't let them be so arrogant!" ”

The young general is none other than Shang Kexi's son Shang Zhixin, when Fan Chengmo saw him, his heart immediately relaxed, but after listening to his words, his heart rose again, and he shouted: "The Ming army came so fast? ”

Shang Kexi bounced up and picked up the helmet directly, "Let's go, go to the city and have a look!" ”

The Qing army had another 100,000 troops in Henan, but before the war started, 10,000 had already been killed by the Ming army.

Now the remaining 90,000 people, 40,000 in Luoyang, 30,000 in Kaifeng, and the other 20,000 people are arranged in the Tiger Prison and other passes, but after the Ming army broke through the Longmen Pass, it is no longer meaningful to garrison several passes in the south, and he is ready to concentrate all of them in the Tiger Prison Pass to ensure his contact with Kaifeng.

As soon as the order for his mobilization was issued, the city's defenses were still chaotic, and he didn't want the Ming army to approach Luoyang so quickly.

Shang Kexi left directly, Shang Zhixin hurriedly followed out, leaving Fan Chengmo hesitated, gritted his teeth, stomped his feet, and hurriedly followed, "Lord, Lord, wait for me." ”

Shang Kexi heard that not only did he not stop, but he was much faster, and he hurried out, rode on the horse brought by the guard, and looked at the southern city.

Luoyang is a big city, Li Zicheng was damaged when he attacked the city, but Shang Kexi and Kong Youde operated in Henan for nearly ten years, and the city has been completely repaired.

On the city wall, such as watchtowers, enemy towers, arrow towers, female walls, and horse faces, there are all there, which makes Shang Kexi feel very down-to-earth.

In addition, Luoyang's moat is also quite wide, and if the Ming army wants to capture the city, the first thing to solve is how to fill the moat.

Shang Kexi came to the city wall, many Qing soldiers in the city were rushing to the wall to look outside the city, they saw Shang Kexi, hurriedly dispersed to return to their original positions, and the Qing generals at all levels were busy saluting him.

A member of the Qing Dynasty came to his side and pointed to a hillside outside the city, "Lord Wang, look, the man in the golden armor is not Wang Yan?" ”

Shang Kexi raised his eyebrows when he heard this, stretched out his hand to come to the clairvoyant mirror, and hurriedly picked it up to see, and saw a general riding a charcoal horse, wearing a golden helmet and golden armor and a red cloak, surrounded by hundreds of horsemen, standing on the top of the mountain.

Look at this outfit, who is Wang Yan?

Shang Kexi put down the clairvoyant mirror and laughed angrily, "Straight lady thief, prodigal goods, aren't you afraid that Lao Tzu will rush out and destroy you?" ”

Outside the city, Wang Yan was neatly draped on the slope of Zhuma Mountain, and he still had two bows hanging from his saddle, making a full posture.

"Your Highness, this Luoyang City is worthy of being the ancient capital of several dynasties, and it is very majestic!" Li Dingguo said with a smile.

Wang Yan pointed at the horsewhip, and said arrogantly, "There are 300,000 Guxing soldiers, and Shang Kexi wants to use Luoyang to block Lone, which is undoubtedly wishful thinking!" Settle the country and see how Lone defeats the North Captives and captures the central capital! ”
