Chapter 158: A wave of unsettled waves rises again

Yang He's face was gloomy, sitting in his big tent of the Chinese army, it was already three watches at night, but he didn't feel sleepy at all.

The situation in Luoyang was completely different from what he imagined, at first the army could conquer Luoyang as soon as it arrived, but now it seems to be just a joke.

In Yang He's heart, he can still capture Luoyang City, but the materials and soldiers needed are too much. The imperial court will not allow a mess to appear in the heart of the Central Plains.

Overseer Hua Qiu walked in with a curtain and asked worriedly, "Lord Yang, you haven't slept yet." ”

Yang He naturally refused to show his timidity in front of him, smiled and said, "This official has always slept less, but why hasn't my father-in-law rested yet?" ”

Hua Qiu sighed and said: "I didn't expect King Xiaofu to be such a difficult bone to gnaw, we are deeply favored by the emperor, if we can't share the worries and solve problems for the Lord of Long Live, our family will not have the face to go back to see Your Majesty." ”

Yang He sneered in his heart, and said secretly, why don't you have a face, it's hard to say whether you have the life to go back.

Hua Qiu rolled his eyes, waved his hand, and drove the soldiers in the tent out. Pinching the orchid fingers, he stepped forward quickly.

"Lord Yang, our family has an idea, maybe we can break through Luoyang."

When Yang He heard that he had an idea, he held the mentality of a dead horse as a live horse doctor, and asked, "What is the good plan for my father-in-law?" ”

"Henan Province has suffered a heavy rain, and the water level has risen sharply, why don't we dig the river embankment and release water to flood the city."

Yang He was furious, no wonder this guy wanted to retreat, it turned out to be whimsical and came up with such a desperate plan.

He also took care of the face of the emperor's chamberlain, and said sharply: "Father-in-law! The people of Henan Mansion are all the people of our Ming Dynasty, digging the river embankment, but they will kill hundreds of people. I, Yang He, don't want to be poked in the backbone and scolded for a thousand years. ”

Hua Qiu's face was full of shame, and he still argued: "At the beginning, Guan Yu, the Marquis of Hanshou Pavilion, also flooded Fancheng, and I didn't see anyone leave a stench for 10,000 years. ”

Yang He laughed angrily, turned around, flicked his sleeves vigorously, and said: "The Tao is not the same, father-in-law, please go back, the official is going to rest." ”

Although Hua Qiu is a prisoner and a person close to Zhu Youzhen, after all, Zhu Youzhen has only succeeded to the throne not long ago. He used to be a little eunuch who was bullied, and he still had a trace of awe for a high-ranking official like Yang He.

Seeing that he was really angry, Hua Qiu didn't dare to say more, walked out of the tent stupidly, walked dozens of steps out of the tent, and then spat fiercely and scolded: "Phew! Hypocritical pedantic nerds! ”

Although Yang He said that he wanted to sleep, in fact, he was just to chase away guests, and he was angry with this eunuch, and he was not sleepy at all at the moment.

"This eunuch, who didn't sleep in the middle of the night, came up with such an idea. If I dig the river, not to mention that the people of Henan want to scold me, even Shilin will not have a place for my Yang family. ”

Hua Qiu returned to the camp indignantly, and the more she thought about it, the more depressed she became. During the day, Yang He lost troops on the front line, which was useless at all, and he made such a good suggestion, he actually had this attitude.

A sinister thought slowly crept into his heart.

The rainy weather seemed to be coming again, with dark clouds obscuring the moon and the night like ink. No one noticed that in the east of Luoyang City, a figure wearing a night suit jumped off the city wall and quickly disappeared into the dense forest in the east of the city.

The next day, Yang He did not immediately order the siege of the city. As the saying goes, the emperor is not short of hungry soldiers, and his soldiers and horses have not eaten for a day.

Fortunately, there is good news from the imperial court, the king of Zhou is willing to send grain, and it is being transported here, according to the return of the scouts, the vanguard grain transport team can arrive today.

Yang He prepares, when the soldiers are full of food and drink, use all their strength to have a decisive battle with King Xiaofu.

Suddenly, there was a violent sound from Dongcheng, and Yang He immediately heard that it was the sound of the cannon that brought them psychological shadows yesterday.

"What's the situation?!"

"My lord, the Dongcheng Luoyang soldiers have broken through!"

Yang He was first overjoyed, King Xiaofu gave up the city, and wanted to break through and fight to the death with himself? Soon he denied the idea, if Xiaofu Wang was really so stupid, he would not be in this situation.

Moreover, he calculated that if King Xiaofu wanted to escape, he could only go west. In the middle of entering the customs, there may be a possibility of a comeback, what is he going to do when he opens the East City Gate?

"Let's go, let's see."

The longitudinal horse came to the top of Dongcheng Mountain, and looked down, the Luoyang City Gate had been closed. This time, it turned out to be a cavalry.

Yang He gasped, King Fu's Mansion had its own cavalry.

This is a cavalry that Zhang Hao raised in the mountain behind Ying'en Temple, secretly trained, and it is also a strange soldier.

After this cavalry came out, it seemed that they had no intention of fighting, relying on the power of war horses to impact the Ming army, which was already hungry and sleepy. After a while, Dongcheng, a weak link that was not the main attack, was torn open by them.

Yang He's eyes suddenly widened, his eyes were bloodshot, and his appearance was terrifying.

"The thief wants to cut off the grain!"

Zhang Hao rode on the horse, his heart was surging, and the horse under his seat seemed to feel the excitement of the master. Yu Yu let out a long roar.

Zhang Hao patted it affectionately, since he was a child, he has been closer to Ma than others, and now he has finally fulfilled his long-cherished wish, the former little horseman, is going to the battlefield.

Four thousand cavalry, after breaking through, did not look back, and ran all the way to the east.

The Ming army was all infantry, and they could only sigh when they broke their legs, not to mention that they were hungry and tired, and they had no desire to chase them out.

Yang He was really panicked, once the grain and grass were robbed, it would be difficult for the imperial court, which was tight in the treasury, to urgently scrape together enough grain, and then transport it to Luoyang in time.

Fuwangfu did a very good job, before retreating to Luoyang, he had already cleared the wilderness and looted all the grain. Now none of the nearby grain merchants can afford to feed the army for a day.

Once the consequences of the mutiny were caused, Yang He didn't dare to think about it.

Swear to the death to keep King Zhou's grain and grass! This was Yang He's thoughts in his heart, his tone was already trembling, and he ordered the heralds around him to gather troops and horses to pursue this cavalry.

However, all he brought were infantry, and Yang He secretly prayed in his heart, hoping that the grain army could hold out until his arrival.

Zhao Hong, who was standing on the city tower, looked at the panicked soldiers and horses outside the city, sneered, and said to the deputy general next to him: "Scholars always take it for granted when they use soldiers, and they tear down the east wall to make up for the west wall, and he should be a child." ”

"Hey, he must have thought that if he didn't attack us, we would have fun. How does he know, we have to tease him and let him know that it hurts. ”

"Pass my orders and prepare to attack!"

Suddenly, there was a loud bang. Just after the flood in Henan Province, most of the Ming army camped on the high ground, and the remaining Ming army at this moment did not know who had immobilized the method, so they stood in place and looked behind them.

Zhao Hong looked at the surging water, stood in place, and muttered:

"I was wrong, Yang He is really the most ruthless person in the world."
