"General Zheng, please take a seat!" Lu Xiangsheng pointed to the chair under the hall and said to Zheng Guangxian.

"I don't know why the general summoned the guilty ministers?" Zheng Guangxian said respectfully.

"Your Majesty is merciful, you have said that anyone who is willing to surrender to the imperial court, everything in the past will not be investigated, I wonder if General Zheng is willing to surrender to the imperial court?" Lu Xiangsheng asked.

"The general of the defeated army does not dare to ask for any luxury, but only asks His Majesty to forgive the death penalty of his ministers." Zheng Guang bowed in the tunnel first.

"Haha, General Zheng, please get up!" Lu Xiangsheng hurriedly helped Zheng Guangxian happily and said, "General Zheng, I need you to do me a favor this time?" ”

"But by the general's orders!" Zheng Guangxian said.

"I would like to ask the general to continue to play the role of Tongguan's reinforcements and accept us into Tongguan. After I take Tongguan, I will definitely ask for credit for the general in front of His Majesty. Lu Xiangsheng said.

"The sinner is commanded!" Zheng Guang bowed down first and said.

……

After receiving Zheng Guangxian's reply, Lu Xiangsheng organized a team of 10,000 people to attack Tongguan and set off early in the morning to go straight to Tongguan. By the time of the third day, Lu Xiangsheng's 10,000 troops had already arrived at Tongguan City.

"Who's under the city?" The defenders of Tongguan City shouted loudly.

"Zheng Guangxian, the chief soldier of Ningxia, came to the rescue of Tongguan on the order of Prince Su." Zheng Guangxian said loudly.

"Lord Zheng, wait a minute, the little one will go and report to you." When the defenders heard this, they hurriedly said.

Hearing this, Zheng Guangxian hurriedly gave Lu Xiangsheng a look, meaning to be calm and don't be impatient, Lu Xiangsheng also nodded. At this time, Lu Xiangsheng followed behind Zheng Guangxian with a big knife in his hand, if Zheng Guangxian dared to make any moves, he would cut off Zheng Guangxian's head with a single sword.

……

"Mr. Zheng, why are you here alone? What about Lord Lian? "Standing on the city wall and talking is Wu Minggao, the guard general of Tongguan. Hearing that reinforcements had arrived, Wu Minggao personally rushed over. After King Qing's defeat at Fenglingdu, he was driven back to Shaanxi by King Su, and now it is still Wu Minggao who is in charge, and Lord Lian in Wu Minggao's mouth is the commander of this reinforcement.

"Lord Lian is behind, we encountered an ambush by the enemy on the road, but we were repelled by Lord Lian, Lord Lian was afraid that Tongguan would be lost, so we waited for a step ahead." Zheng Guangxian explained.

"Tongguan is fine, I'm surprised that the enemy's offensive against Tongguan has been much weaker in the past few days, so it turned out that I went to sneak attack you." Wu Minggao said.

"General Wu, hurry up and open the door, I've been on the road for several days without stopping." Zheng Guangxian urged impatiently.

"Open the door, open the door quickly." Wu Minggao was originally the governor of Ningxia and the capital of the Chinese army, and he had several encounters with Zheng Guangxian, and he finally opened the city gate after carefully confirming that the person who came was indeed Zheng Guangxian.

Seeing the city gate slowly open, Lu Xiangsheng couldn't hide the excitement in his heart, and he followed Zheng Guangxian tightly into Tongguan City. At this time, Wu Minggao came over, hugged his fist at Zheng Guangxian and said, "Zheng ......"

"Thief, die!" Wu Minggao's words had only just been spoken, and Lu Xiangsheng couldn't bear it anymore, so he rushed out on horseback. At the moment of life and death, Wu Minggao's reaction was extremely fast, Lu Xiangsheng's words did not fall, and when his big knife was still in the air, Wu Minggao rolled on the spot and dodged this fatal knife. Wu Minggao's personal soldiers also reacted quickly, and immediately surrounded him and snatched Wu Minggao down.

As soon as Lu Xiangsheng made a move, the others immediately followed suit and slashed the people around the city gate.

"Close the gates, close the gates!" Wu Minggao escaped, got up and shouted loudly as he ran. It's just that it's too late at this time, Lu Xiangsheng is brave, and there is no enemy, and Lu Xiangsheng's army has already taken the lead, killing the rebels and retreating again and again.

"Cut the slings of the gates, cut the slings of the gates." Lu Xiangsheng commanded.

After cutting the sling of the city gate, the rebels could no longer close the city gate, and as the number of Longteng troops rushing in increased, the rebels in Tongguan retreated.

"Xu Sanxing, you take people to seize the Baying Gate and let Fenglingdu's army enter the city." Lu Xiangsheng said. Baying Gate is the great north gate of Tongguan.

"No." Xu Sanxing said respectfully.

……

The Tianxiong army stationed outside Tongguan, after hearing the shouting and killing in Tongguan City, knew what was probably going on in Tongguan, at this time Tianxiong Army didn't care that it was too late, and the whole army forced to Tongguan, preparing to respond to the outside and seize Tongguan in one fell swoop.

The rebels were already in a state of collapse at this time, and Xu Sanxing led a thousand people from his headquarters to capture the Baying Gate without much effort. When the 20,000 Tianxiong army of Fenglingdu outside the city entered Tongguan, the rebels stationed in Tongguan completely collapsed, and Wu Minggao escaped from Tongguan at night and fled to Shaanxi.

On the day of the capture of Tongguan, Zhu Youxiao also broke through Luoyang City. Just capture Tongguan in the middle of the night and break Luoyang City in the daytime.

Under the incessant bombardment of Zhu Youxiao's heavy artillery, the city wall of Luoyang City was finally blasted out by Zhu Youxiao. Luoyang City's carefully arranged defense was torn to shreds by this opening.

The army led by Zhao led by the sect finally rushed into Luoyang City through this opening, and the rebels stationed outside the city wanted to rescue, but were stopped by 20,000 dragoons. The dragoons of the new army were not at all comparable to the cavalry of the rebels, and the cavalry of the rebels was routed by the dragoons in just a few turns. The army stationed outside the city took the lead in retreating when the situation was not good, and the rebels in Luoyang City did not resist for long, and the rebels in Luoyang had been defeated on all fronts.

Ma Shilong led the dragoons to pursue for twenty miles before retreating to Luoyang. In the first battle of Luoyang, Zhu Changxun, the king of Fu, was captured alive, Zhu Zhihong, the king of Su, fled, and the 130,000 rebels in Luoyang City, more than 50,000 rebels were captured, and the rest were either nowhere to be found, or followed Zhu Zhihong, the king of Su, to Tongguan and retreated. Now neither of the warring sides knew that Tongguan had been captured by Lu Xiangsheng.

"Ma Shilong, the rebels have been defeated, there is no need to be afraid, you take 50,000 beggars to continue to pursue Su Wang Zhu Zhihong, I will first bring 50,000 royal forest troops back to Beijing." Zhu Youxiao made an order.

"No. If the anti-Wang Zhu Zhihong returns to Shaanxi, what should be done? Ma Shilong asked.

"We must wipe out all the rebels, and we must not leave any chance for the rebel king to make a comeback." Zhu Youxiao said.

"No."

……

Su Wang Zhu Zhihong learned the news of the loss of Tongguan one step ahead of Zhu Youxiao, and when he fled to Tongguan, he happened to encounter reinforcements fleeing to Luoyang. The two defeated armies met unexpectedly.

Hearing the news of the loss of Tongguan, Su Wang Zhu Zhihong was in a hurry, and after squirting a mouthful of blood, he fainted. And Zhu Youxiao only learned the news that Lu Xiangsheng had captured Tongguan only half a day later than Zhu Zhihong. After learning that Lu Xiangsheng had captured Tongguan, Zhu Youxiao immediately sent an edict to Lu Xiangsheng, ordering him to intercept the defeated army of Zhu Zhihong, the king of Su.
