Finally, it can be defended, it seems that the Taishi still knows some military affairs, Zhou Bian smiled and did not answer, but turned his head and shouted, "Tu Qiang, beat the war drums!" If you don't listen to the king's command, you can't stop. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info"

The castle tower was originally equipped with war drums. Hearing that the king shouted to himself, Tu Ping, the centurion who accompanied him, was suddenly overjoyed, hurriedly threw away the weapon in his hand, grabbed the drumstick on the drum stand, and beat it up with all his might, and the dull drum suddenly spread far away, and it was quite rhythmic one by one, which was the marching order in the military order book compiled by Zhou Bian.

The army that had stopped the charge suddenly heard the marching drum coming from afar, and they were all stunned, but the prestige was coming from the Dingding Gate Tower, Pang Xing suddenly understood that it was the king's order, and the king's order was difficult to disobey, so Pang Xing gave an order, and the army immediately marched forward with the sound of the drum.

However, the direction is in the opposite direction to the city tower, and after a while, he has walked dozens of steps away, and the unknown Taishi and others looked at the king suspiciously, although they don't know what medicine the king sells in his stomach, but the Taishi still tiptoes and looks at the army that is gradually moving away.

This was Zhou Bian's temporary idea, because further forward was a small river, and Zhou Bian could see it clearly. Sure enough, the army finally reached the front of the small river after moving forward for more than ten steps, and Tu Ping, who was standing inside, was still beating the marching drum, and the hearts of Taishi and the others suddenly rose, and some small colonels on the side couldn't help but shout, "River, there is a river in front." ”

However, the king still didn't make a sound, Tu Qiang didn't care so much, and still beat the drum hard. At last the soldiers at the forefront stepped to the river, but the drumbeat did not stop, and the onlookers, including those on the castle tower and on the ground, held their breath. But the soldiers did not seem to see the river, the soldiers in the front did not hesitate, under the watchful eyes of tens of thousands of people, one foot into the river, the water splashed, the army went down the river one after another, still stepping on the drum in the river, and walked to the other side of the river with difficulty.

The imaginary chaos did not appear, the audience suddenly fell silent, and the civilian audience who were talking stopped pointing and pointing, and looked at the disciplined Wang Shi with a long mouth. The only sound of drums in the open field was the wind and the sound of the sergeants dripping water.

Fortunately, the small river is not deep, only to the waist, after ten or so steps, the front army went ashore, the drums still did not stop, the army went into the water line by line, and went ashore line by line, the military discipline was strict, no one refused the military order, and even no one made a noise, the army moved forward quietly, although it was far away, but the pressure was still coming.

After all the troops crossed the river, at the signal of Zhou Bian, Tu Qiang stopped the drumming, wiped the sweat on his face, and came forward as if flatteringly, "King, can you still see the small drums?" ”

This is a stocky young man, Zhou Bian couldn't help laughing, "The drummer didn't need you, but this king came up by chance." Don't think about it too much, promise your grandfather, this time you two brothers can only go to one person, if you want to be obedient, blame you for losing to your brother in the competition. ”

After Tu Ping went down, Zhou Bian turned his head to the Taishi and said, "What does the Taishi think?" ”

The stunned Taishi came back to his senses, "King, it's so worthy of a battle!" ”

What you want is this confidence, if you don't even have self-confidence, how to stick to Luoyang? Seeing that the accidental intention had achieved good results, Zhou Bian nodded, turned his head and shouted, "Tu Qiang, Mingjin will withdraw again!" ”

"Order!"

Immediately after a burst of dense sound of gold sounded, Wen Drum forward, Wen Jin retreated, since ancient times, I can't take a break, Pang Xing immediately ordered the whole army to retreat to the Dingding Gate Tower, this golden sound is particularly dense, so the army can't care about crossing the river again, and running back quickly, but it's good to run, it can drive away the cold air soaked in water.

This Ming Jin retreat naturally ran as fast as they could, and the formation could not be maintained so well, as long as it was not chaotic, but when it reached the twenty steps of the city tower, as soon as the sound of Jin stopped, thousands of troops immediately stopped, and under the shouts of the commanders, they quickly rearranged the formation.

Soon a shout sounded from the city tower, and General Pang and several commanders immediately stepped forward to answer.

I only heard the deep voice of the young master from the city tower, "On the orders of the king, Ling'er and other generals Pang Xing, the commanders Liu Yun, Wang Sunjian, and Tu Meng, led the troops to the south to patrol Yiyi, if anyone dares to violate the realm of Wang Ji, there will be no forgiveness." The king has sacrificed to the ancestral temple, and he can get the hexagram of good luck, so you can immediately send troops, and the king will beat the drum to see you off! ”

After hearing the report of the young master that it was an auspicious time, Zhou Bian took the drumstick and symbolically hammered it, and the army suddenly turned south after shouting like a mountain and turning southward, like a forest slowly southward, and no one turned back.

"One, two, three, four!" The slogan suddenly sounded, neatly and loudly, and hit everyone's heart heavily. Today's scene has given too many shocks to the people of Luoyang, and perhaps many people will never forget it.

The army went south, seeing this resolute army, the onlookers of Luoyang civilians applauded, after all, this is the king's division, and then linked to the rumors that began yesterday that the Han army was going to invade the country, so it seems that this royal family is going to take the initiative, and the royal family that has been weak for hundreds of years is rare like this, although I don't know what the result will be, but the confidence of ordinary Luoyang people is still back. At the same time, some international tour merchants also hesitated in their hearts, should they leave at all? What no one noticed was that there were some subordinates of big families and even unknown people hidden in the crowd, who all turned their heads and left in a hurry, bringing the latest news to their masters for reference.

What I want is this effect, what I want is the return of the people's hearts, Zhou Bian waved at everyone with satisfaction, and called for the guards to help him, Zhou Bian walked down the city tower, climbed the royal frame, and returned to the palace. Only the Taishi was accompanied, and the young master was the first to arrange for yesterday's newly recruited soldiers, if the army that left just now could not stop the Han army, the defense of the city had to count on these people. Now the royal family has about 10,000 troops, Gongyi Chengzhou Mengjin 1,000 each, Luoyang 7,000, after sending away 4,000, there are 3,000, for a big city like Luoyang, 3,000 is far from enough, so the training of 4,000 people in this new recruit is particularly important, and the young master does not dare to slack off for a moment.

As the elite of the army, the Imperial Forest Army also walked with the army for five hundred, and under the escort of the remaining five hundred Royal Forest Army, Wang Jia slowly drove to the palace. At this time, the whole city already knew about the opening of the army, and the chaos between the markets was much less, and many Luoyang people who were interested in the royal family shouted to the king along the way to express their admiration in their hearts, and the panic made the royal forest army very nervous, and it took a lot of effort to escort the king to the palace safely.

However, when he entered the palace, the Taishi was stupid when he opened the curtain of the royal carriage, only to see a shivering little fat man sitting in the wide carriage, and a set of royal clothes and coats were neatly stacked in front of the little fat man.

The Taishi recognized at a glance that this was Bai Wuxian, and thought that the old eyes were dizzy, but he looked at it again, but he still did not find the figure of the king in the carriage, and the panicked old Taishi shouted, "Boy, where is the king?" ”

Bai Wuxi hurriedly crawled out, stretched out his hand and handed out a brocade cloth, and replied in a trembling voice, "Taishi, the king forced me to do this, don't kill me." This is what the king left to the prince. ”

After snorting, the Taishi took the brocade cloth, only to see that it was the king's handwriting that was crooked, "Taishi, if there is no king to go, I am afraid that I will not be able to stop the 20,000 Han soldiers, Taishi, please rest assured, this king will never pay attention to his own safety, Luoyang City will ask the Taishi first." ”

Alas, after all, he still left, and after glaring at Bai Wuxi hatefully, "Boy, when did the king leave?" ”

"When you go down to the city tower, when you go down the city tower, while the master is not paying attention, the king orders the small pretending to be the king to go to the king's shelf. It's not a small matter, it's the king's persecution. ”

"Is there anything your father said, come on, send Bai Gongzi back to Baifu." As soon as Taishi's voice fell, an entourage immediately answered and asked Bai Wuxian to leave.

Taishi took a closer look at the team, and sure enough, Fan Yu was gone, it seems that he was still negligent, otherwise he wouldn't have noticed. The king is really good at making trouble, and after the prince snorted again, he turned his head and walked outside the palace, "The army obeyed the order and went out of the city with the old man to recover the king." ”

After just taking two steps, Taishi stopped his steps violently, lowered his head and pondered for a moment, and then greeted, "Zichang, you are the old man of the royal family, or do you take a few people to chase the king in Yiyun, and you must chase him back, just say that if the king does not come back, the old man will not live." You know how powerful, you go to me and I don't worry. ”

"Yes." The son received the order and left in a hurry. Taishi sighed lightly and walked towards **, alas, the king walked cleanly, but there is indeed someone in this Luoyang City, and this person is none other than the old man, the king, you have calculated that the old man will not leave Luoyang and chase you in person, so he dares to go, alas, the old man has to appease the queen mother for you and stabilize the rear.

After walking a few steps, Taishi couldn't help but look back, and the back of Zichang was gone, alas, most of Zichang couldn't be recovered. After a pause, the Taishi continued to walk towards **, and his firm steps sounded on the long palace road.

Taishi's hunch is naturally not wrong, and of course he can't catch up with Zichang.

It is said that after Zhou Bian sneaked away with a few personal guards, he caught up with the army, and the generals in the army were all descendants of his own lineage, so naturally he would not be surprised by the sudden arrival of the king, and senior generals such as Pang Xing had already known about the king's plan. Different from the oath when the army left the army, as soon as the army crossed Luoshui, Zhou Bian gave an order, and thousands of people immediately turned east and marched in the direction of Gongyi along the south bank of Luoshui.

In fact, Zhou Bian received a secret report from Jiang Ping in the morning, it turned out that the Han army came from the east with great fanfare, and it was close to Chenggao, running towards Gongyi, Zhou Bian could not count on the spies sent out yesterday, since he was guarding against the princes, it was natural that there were spies on the key roads at ordinary times. Then since he had already learned the news, why did the army go south to Yiyun, it was naturally to confuse Taishi and others, Zhou Bian had already thought about it.

And the unaware Zichang crossed Luoshui without looking for a pedestrian to ask, so he kept going south, until Yi Yan still saw no trace of the army, and searched deep into the Korean border for a long time, until he saw the new city wall of Korea, and then ran back to find the Taishi in panic to report. At this time, Zhou Bian's army had already crossed the south bank of Chengzhou and was preparing to cross Luoshui to Gongyi.

Zichang, whose face was pale, rushed back at a faster speed than when he went, and when he rushed to the south bank of Luoshui and saw the tall city in the distance, he remembered to find someone to ask, and the whereabouts of thousands of troops naturally would not be hidden from everyone. Looking up to the east, there was naturally no shadow to be seen, but the sky was getting dark, and when I looked back, the sunset was only half outside. After shaking his head, the exhausted Zichang had to go back to the palace first, and the big man decided. As expected, the Queen Mother just sighed after hearing this, she couldn't help it, how could she close it, seeing that the Queen Mother was like this, the Queen Mother had to shake her head and go busily, and now everything in Luoyang has to be worried about by the old man.

When the night came, south of Gongyi City, north of Luoshui, bonfires were piled up, and thousands of troops were camped in an orderly manner on the open space. The breeze of late spring is blowing, on the bank of Luoshui, on the light of the torch, the young general quietly looks at the calm river, as expected, the Han army will force the Luoshui here to approach Gongyi, tomorrow later or the day after tomorrow early, the fateful battle is about to break out here, who is not nervous?

"King, it's cold night, let's go back to camp!" Fan Yu, who was accompanying him, said softly, as if he was afraid of alarming the quiet flow of the river.

Zhou Bian, who was awakened, looked back and smiled, "Let's go, all the soldiers are tired today, it's better to rest early, and tomorrow morning we will prepare the things designated by this king." ”

The last sentence was said to Pang Xing, and General Pang, who knew that he was just a puppet general, hurriedly replied yes, and more than a dozen figures quickly disappeared on the shore.
