Nanyang Mansion, Shangguan Yin Feng's mansion

In the lobby, the generals sat on two sides, the first to sit on the left was the Nanyang generals headed by Cao Zhen, the first to sit on the right was the Hebei generals led by Jia Fu, and Huang Wei and Huang Long stood on the left hand side, and Huang Botao stood on the right hand side...

Shangguan Yin Feng and Murong Xue walked into the hall together, and all the generals in the hall got up, bowed to the two of them, and said, "See the lord, madam..."

This time, Shangguan Yin Feng was wearing the court clothes of the Chengjia Dynasty, the purple unicorn suit, which can only be worn by people at the level of a general, and after sitting down on the main seat in the middle of the hall, Shangguan Yin Feng raised his hand and said: "Everyone, sit..."

After the generals sat down, Shangguan Yin Feng looked at Huang Weidao, who was standing closest to his left: "You can start..."

Although Huang Wei, Huang Botao, and Huang Long are standing, their level is Cao Zhen and Jia Fu, and they are also the closest place to Shangguan Yin Feng...

"Generals, five days ago, Prime Minister Zhang Dong rebelled in Luoyang and put the emperor under house arrest, and my people from Beizhen Fusi rescued Emperor Funan from Luoyang, and now Lord Situ is on his way to Nanyang..."

"Everyone..."Shangguan Yin Feng looked around the generals on both sides solemnly, and said in a deep voice: "Since the day of the Nanyang army, my Shangguan Yin Feng is determined to serve the country loyally, He Nai has too many traitors in the court, and the outline is often unclear, so that we are in a corner of Nanyang, and today, the trip of the old thief in Zhangdong has been announced to the world, it is really a great rebellion, I hereby order, the whole army is ready to fight, and soon march to Luoyang, in order to save His Majesty the Emperor..."

When Sai Zun came to Nanyang, there were only three people who knew his true purpose and knew that Shangguan Yin Feng had promised to unite with Liu Xuan, one was Murong Xue, one was Huang Wei, and the other was Shangguan Yin Feng himself, so except for Huang Wei, there was no fourth person present who knew Shangguan Yin Feng's intentions, which was also the reason why Huang Wei was so trusted...

"Lord Qi, is our army dispatched with the whole army this time?" Cao Zhen couldn't help but look at Shangguan Yin Feng, in fact, he really wanted to fight, after all, defending the city is a boring thing, and his military exploits are on the battlefield, compared with others, although he is the prefect of Nanyang, his military merits are not as high as Deng Yu...

Shangguan Yin Feng naturally knew what Cao Zhen meant, and the dispatch of the whole army meant that he could also go to war, and there was no need to defend the city, Shangguan Yin Feng nodded slightly: "Cao Zhen, I can understand what you mean, this expedition, I will order you to be the vanguard, are you willing?" ā€

When Cao Zhen heard this, he was startled at first, then stood up excitedly, knelt down on one knee and hugged his fists towards Shangguan Yin Feng and said, "The last general will definitely take the lead and charge into battle..."

"Get up..."Shangguan Yin Feng also knows Cao Zhen's eagerness to make meritorious service, this is also his own way of commanding, after experiencing this kind of thing as guarding Nanyang, Cao Zhen must be more dedicated to the battlefield, and Shangguan Yin Feng himself is also more comfortable to use...

"On this expedition, all the Shenji battalions are dispatched, I want to take Luoyang when the Wentai army breaks through Mengjin Pass, Huang Botao, you have to go all out..."The reason why Shangguan Yin Feng said this is that he wants to have a bargaining chip in his hand to negotiate with them after Liu Xuan and Wentai's combined army takes Mengjin Pass, after all, he promised to support the Han family, and everyone in the world regards Shangguan Yin Feng as a great hero, how can he come nonsense...

Huang Botao was also very happy that the Shenji Battalion was going to participate in the war, although his Shenji Battalion had been trained for a long time, but he had not experienced a real battle, and he also wanted to see how powerful the Shenwu Cannon was...

As soon as Shangguan Yin Feng said this, all the generals sitting in the hall stood up and bowed their hands to Shangguan Yin Feng: "Han Chu is temporarily guarding my Nanyang camp, and the rest of the generals will all go with me to Luoyang to rescue His Majesty the Emperor..."

"No..."

Because Han Chu blocked the onslaught of 30,000 troops of Cheng Xin, the general under He Ying, during the Battle of Nanyang, he was entrusted with the important task of guarding the Nanyang camp by Shangguan Yin Feng...

And this time Shangguan Yin Feng is only preparing to mobilize 50,000 horses from the Nanyang battalion, and there are 30,000 elite soldiers brought back from Anyang by Qian Menglong in Ruyang City, that is, 80,000 people, which is enough to attack Luoyang, after all, Nanyang is his foundation, and he can't be careless, and he also left 50,000 horses for Han Chu to defend the city, and he also believes that with Han Chu's military command ability, it is completely no problem for 50,000 people to hold on for a period of time...

On the sixth day of the seventh month of the fourth year of heaven, Shangguan Yin Feng sent 50,000 troops from Nanyang to Luoyang, Cao Zhen led 3,000 iron cavalry as the vanguard, Qian Menglong was the vanguard deputy envoy in Ruyang, and all 3,000 people from the Shenji Battalion were dispatched...

Although the Shenji Battalion is 3,000 people, there are a total of 100 operators in charge of the Shenwu cannon, 100 people who use arquebuses, 200 people who transport Shenwu cannons, and the remaining 2,600 people are all soldiers who are responsible for the safety of these people, and their formations are all trained for the safety of the personnel of the Shenji Battalion.

Due to the weight of the Shenwu cannon, ten wagons were used to escort it, and the marching speed had to be slowed down, but the arquebus operator was very relaxed, in addition to carrying the arquebus on his shoulder, the back was full of iron balls and gunpowder in a basket...

Originally, it took less than three days from Nanyang to Ruyang, but due to the Shenwu cannon, Shangguan Yin Feng walked for five days before arriving in Ruyang, but Qian Menglong took the army to wait for Shangguan Yin Feng on the official road early...

When the former sentry detective told Qian Menglong that Shangguan Yin Feng was not far away, Qian Menglong took Yan Xiao and Zhang Xiong to the Chinese army camp to meet Shangguan Yin Feng...

Shangguan Yin Feng in the camp of the Chinese army

"The last general, Qian Menglong, see the lord..."Qian Menglong knelt on one knee and bowed respectfully to Shangguan Yin Feng...

"Menglong, don't need a big gift..."Shangguan Yin Feng raised his hand in the void and motioned for Qian Menglong to get up: "Tell me, is there any movement in Ruzhou?" ā€

Due to Zhang Dong's 'rebellion' in Luoyang, Ruzhou is under the jurisdiction of Luoyang Gyeonggi, so the current situation in Ruzhou City Shangguan Yin Feng is unknown...

"Lord Qi, the new envoy of the three provinces of Ruzhou is the right general Liu Qi, who now has 50,000 soldiers in Ruzhou City, and he has only recently been transferred into the city, according to the report of the last general, he has no movement..."Qian Menglong said...

If the three provinces of Ruzhou are not within the scope of Gyeonggi, its military command structure is still the commander of the guard, and the former imperial envoy of the three provinces of Ruzhou is the henchman of Gongsun Long, because of Zhang Dong's ' Rebellion', he has replaced the original Ruzhou Sandao Imperial Envoy with someone he can trust, that is, the current right general Liu Qi, the Ruzhou Sandao army was originally only about 23,000 people, after Liu Qi arrived, in order to guard against Shangguan Yin Feng, Zhang Dong specially transferred 27,000 people from the forbidden army, and gave Liu Qi 50,000 people, so that he was prepared...

"Lord, Yichuan County is backed by a mountain, and according to the sentinel detectives in the city, it is known that there are 5,000 troops, and Yichuan County is easy to defend and difficult to attack, so Liu Qi gathered all the heavy troops in Ruzhou City..."

After listening to the report, Shangguan Yin Feng smiled: "Right General Liu Qi is almost forty, right?" His military thinking was still stuck in the Art of War of Sun Tzu during the Warring States Period, and an arrogant 'old man' asked me to teach him how to be a man..."

Although Yichuan County is backed by a mountain, it is easy to defend and difficult to attack, but as long as the city is taken, it can go directly to Luoyang City, all the way unimpeded, Liu Qi actually considered it the same, he arranged five thousand forbidden army elites in Yichuan County, enough to resist tens of thousands of troops, as long as he held on for three days, he could send reinforcements from Ruzhou, and attack the enemy army on both sides, so as to achieve victory...

This point was naturally seen through by Shangguan Yin Feng, and the reason why he dared to release these words was naturally that he was sure of victory: "Order Cao Zhen to lead the vanguard army to Yichuan to standby..."

"No..."

After speaking, Shangguan Yin Feng turned his head to look at Qian Menglong, and ordered: "Menglong, you led an army of 20,000 people out of Ruyang thirty miles ago to block Liu Qi in Ruzhou City, your purpose is mainly to intimidate Liu Qi and make him have a kind of preparation for you to attack the city, is it accurate?" ā€

Qian Menglong knew Shangguan Yin Feng's intentions, this kind of feint attack could actually deter Liu Qi, after all, Liu Qi was not willing to fight with Shangguan Yin Feng, the 'god of war', and Shangguan Yin Feng's prestige was naturally not blown, but accumulated little by little by military merits...
