When he arrived at the apse, Zhou Bian put down what he was thinking, and immediately called Liu Ruoshui, first of all, he had to write a letter back to Liu Qiu, instructing him to continue to investigate the news in Xinzheng, and then he wanted to summon Jiang Ping and ask him to quickly explore the movements of the Korean army. The www.biquge.info is too busy, and now I have to hurry up every minute, and I have wasted a lot of time in the meeting, so I dare not delay it any longer.

At this time, Luoyang Mancheng also suddenly became nervous. Bai Gui led a group of attendants to start buying grain and grass from house to house, the young master followed Tian Yi and others to start counting the strong men, Sima Tu rushed to Gongyi and Chengzhou, Pang Xing immediately began to gather the army according to the king's order, Sikong also visited the major workshops in the city and wanted to borrow people to repair the city wall, Zhao Biao hurried to the outside of the city, Ning Yue personally led people to the streets, and the city was not noticed, there were many nobles outside the house with more fresh faces, and many men in ordinary clothes hurried out of the city gate, rushed to every intersection where the Korean army might return. The royal family is running at full capacity, and although it is not as large as that of South Korea, its efficiency is only high in comparison.

However, from ancient times to the present, there is never a shortage of shrewd businessmen, and soon there are merchants in Luoyang City who realized that the situation is wrong, and under many inquiries, some businessmen who are related to the sky immediately learned the news of the attack of the Han army, and even some nobles who were already engaged in business, even learned the news early, so they did not wait for Bai Gui to finish half a street of grain stores, and the grain merchants behind them all invariably increased the price of grain, although Bai Gui was annoyed but helpless, the royal family did not dare to use the strong now, even if they wanted to use the strong, they had to wait for the Korean army to force the city, It is only possible to consider it after the situation is tense.

In fact, this is okay, what's more, some businessmen have begun to flee with their families, for fear that the war will burn to their homes, most of which are traveling merchants of the princes and countries in Luoyang, because after all, the locals of Luoyang are still reluctant to leave their homes, and they are more willing to believe that the royal family in their hearts can resist the Korean army and bring stability to everyone.

In the evening, when Zhou Bian returned to the city from the barracks outside the city, he saw such a scene at the city gate, and many big families dragged their families and drove out of the city in a hurry, and even blocked the city gate for a time. But fortunately, the number of people who fled is not much compared to Luoyang City, which has a huge population base. So Zhou Bian stopped Fan Yu and others who wanted to disturb the fugitives, and let them leave on their own, if it was really besieged, it would be better for the city to have a smaller population.

Back in the palace, it was already dark, and the ministers who were sent out today with tasks in hand all sent the latest news, and Zhou Bian sat in the palace and accepted all kinds of returns, which were both joyful and mixed.

The joy is that the young master has received nearly 5,000 slave soldiers from the families of the nobles, and has assembled in the barracks in the city, ready to start distributing middle-level officers for training early tomorrow morning, and Zhao Biao is there, there are more people who want to be soldiers outside the city, Zhao Biao recruited 2,000 people not far from the suburbs, so that there are more than 7,000 more under the power of the royal family, and it seems that the royal family still has a strong appeal.

And what is worth worrying about is that Bai Gui did not confiscate much food, not to mention how much grain was confiscated, the price of grain in Luoyang immediately tripled, and Ning Yue's return was not good news, in addition to some large families fleeing with their families, the discipline in the city was also a lot of chaos, and there was a small riot in a small street market, fortunately Ning Yue led people to arrive early, but he still didn't know why he was making trouble. And some farmers in the suburbs outside the city heard that the Han army was going to attack Luoyang, and they also began to move their families to the city, causing a certain amount of chaos in the city, although it was only a very small number of suburbs, but it can be expected that there will be more tomorrow morning, and Ning Yue also asked for instructions on how to deal with it.

It is understandable that the peasants outside the city want to enter the city to avoid chaos, of course the royal family supports it, Zhou Bian did not think of this at first, so he did not put it forward, at this time, after listening to Ning Yue's instructions, he naturally had to instruct him to properly arrange the empty houses in the city, and set up a general school to select capable people to manage himself, and at the same time, he could also draw strong men to supplement the city defense. These tasks naturally fell to Ning Yue, and those who can work harder.

He also asked people to check how much the royal granary was, how much was hidden in the arsenal, and ordered the supervisor to take care of the important things such as military rations full-time, and after explaining some precautions, Zhou Bian dragged his tired body and sent away several ministers. As soon as he returned from a long journey, he was nervous for a day, Zhou Bian was also physically and mentally exhausted, and just wanted to fall asleep but suddenly heard the shout of Concubine Liu in the outhouse, "The Queen Mother is a thousand years old!" ”

I didn't think that the queen mother would come at this time, Zhou Bian hurriedly jumped up, yes, I went out for two months, and when I just came back, I forgot to say goodbye to my mother, but let her old man come to visit her son, so I couldn't say anything about the courtesy, so Zhou Bian put on his coat and went out to greet him, but he didn't want to bump into the queen mother who hurriedly entered the house.

Forgetting her son, who had not seen her for many days, the Queen Mother couldn't help but shed tears, and remembered that Wang Er actually wanted to personally lead troops to resist the enemy, and the Queen Mother couldn't stop crying. Fortunately, the Queen Mother was not very unreasonable, knowing that Wang Er was very busy today, and at the end she said that she would not personally lead the troops out of the city, so she didn't blame much.

After spending most of the day comforting the Queen Mother, Zhou Bian was really relieved, and it was half an hour after sending the Queen Mother away, and it was really difficult for a woman to deal with. finally fell asleep, and as soon as he lay on the bed, Zhou Bian fell asleep.

In the early morning of the next day, he woke up refreshed, and now that the enemy is present, Zhou Bian has some inexplicable expectations and excitement in his heart, and he is about to face off with the mainstream military level of this era, and the answer will be revealed about the soldiers he trains.

After breakfast, the courtiers who had a task yesterday and were in Luoyang gathered together again to report the situation in the early morning, the grain merchants were still raising prices, and more people were entering and leaving the city today, and even crowded at the city gate before the city gate was opened, and the city craftsmen summoned by Sikong had also gathered, and now they had begun to rush to the east and start repairing the east wall first. It turned out that everyone had done so many things before they woke up, Zhou Bian nodded with satisfaction, and after some encouragement, all the ministers said goodbye and left, now is not the time to ink, everyone knows that the time is urgent, and after leaving the palace, they will devote themselves to the intense preparation work.

Zhou Bian himself was not idle, called Zhou Mi, Fan Yu and others, and led the Son of Heaven guards out of the palace after wearing their whole bodies, and joined the former Imperial Forest Army who had already been guarding the palace gate and rushed to the east gate with great momentum.

Soon arrived at the Dingding Gate, after the Imperial Forest Army divided half of the men and horses out of the city directly, the rest generally guarded the Dingding Gate Tower, and after the Son of Heaven and several close ministers boarded the city gate, no one was allowed to go up to the city tower again. The well-trained army, the fierce soldiers, soon controlled the city gate, the people who were going to enter and leave the city were blocked at the city gate, and the princes and merchants who were in a hurry to go out of the city couldn't help but scold, but more voices still came from the praise of the locals in Luoyang, after all, at this critical moment, it was still inspiring to see Wang Shi like this.

Of course, Zhou Bian's intentions are also like this, the war is imminent, the hearts of the army and the people are extremely important, I believe that after this morning, the royal family in Luoyang City will support the royal family, and the royal family will be more voiced, and the market that has a chaotic trend will also tend to calm down. With the support of the guards on the left and right, Zhou Bian climbed the city tower step by step, otherwise it would be really difficult to climb up by himself with this body covered and pressed.

Now this Dingding Gate city tower has also been renewed, the ground of the city tower is paved with brand new green bricks, and the heavy female wall has also been rebuilt outside, but the wooden two-story watchtower like the main hall has not been moved, but this does not matter, after all, the city defense is still a brick city tower.

Surrounded by everyone, Zhou Bian walked to the side of the female wall, held on to the heavy city bricks, looked down from the battlements, and saw that in the open space in front of the Dingding Gate, there were already thousands of troops forming three large arrays, the flamboyant royal flag, such as the spear of the forest, the neat ranks came into view, the high fighting spirit suddenly rushed to the face with the breeze, Zhou Bian took a deep breath, this is my army, my strength!

At the same time, there were hundreds of armored soldiers trotting out of the city gate cave, which was the five hundred royal forest troops that had been separated, and in Zhou Bian's eyes, they quickly gathered next to the three large formations and stood in a small formation. At this point, the army was assembled, and a horse chariot with the king's flag on its back rushed towards the Dingding Gate.

The originally assembled army of more than 3,000 stood outside the city gate early in the morning, which had already attracted many pedestrians to watch and point, but because of the momentum of the army, they did not dare to enter within the three zhang of the army.

After the chariot stopped under the city gate, the general shouted loudly at the top of the tower, "The king, the last general Pang, has been ordered by the king to gather four thousand elite soldiers here for my king's review, please show my king!" ”

The shout reached the top of the city tower, and in the midst of the banner waving, it was a young man surrounded by many layers of military guards, and on both sides of the young man were two old men in long robes, hearing Pang Xing's request, Zhou Bian nodded, turned his head and said, "Young master, tell them to start." ”

The young master was also quite complacent, after all, he had a lot of worries about the training, so he arched his hand and shouted at the bottom, "The king has an order, you can start the drill later." ”

"Yes, do as the king commands!" As soon as Pang Xing gave up his hand, he urged the coachman to beat his horse and go back to the battle.

After a while, the chariot returned to the front of the army, only to hear Pang Xing shouting a few times, the whole army walked forward dozens of steps in the direction of the city tower with neat steps, frightening the civilians watching outside the city gate desperately hind legs, and even the legs collapsed to the ground in fright, but fortunately, relatives and friends immediately helped them up and retreated. The whole army went straight to the city gate ten zhang away, only to hear someone in the army shout to stop, thousands of people all stopped at once, and the retreat of the people outside the city gate gradually stopped, but the pressure in everyone's hearts did not decrease at all. After hearing the shout of the commander, the thousands of troops all knelt down and shouted, "Long live the king, long live the king!" The shouts soared into the sky, startling the birds inside and outside the city.

On the top of the city tower, Zhou Bian nodded with satisfaction, turned his head to the other side and said, "What does the Taishi think of me, the king?" "The rest of the ministers are busy, and only the two Taishi and Young Master accompany Zhou Bian to watch the troops and Dingding.

The old lady touched her beard and nodded, "You can take a look." ”

It's okay to take a look, Zhou Bian couldn't help pouting, the requirements of the master are really high. Laughing, Zhou Bian waved his hand, and Pang Xing below gave an order, and after shouting a few times, the whole army shouted a few more times, "King Xie!" Then he stood up, then turned back under the command of the officer, and ran in unison in the opposite direction of the castle tower.

This run is more reflective of military discipline, only to see thousands of people neatly and neatly, although the spears swing back and forth when running, but the overall formation is still not chaotic, which is rare. Taishi couldn't help but nodded, "You can take a closer look." ”

However, no one returned to the Taishi, and everyone on the city tower paid attention to the following thousands of people. I saw that after running to a distance of 300 steps from the city gate, he suddenly stopped his steps, and the shouting of the heralds in the army was heard in the distance, and the sound of the drums also sounded, and thousands of people set up various formations. One moment was a phalanx to defend the front, with the shieldmen in front, the spearmen behind, and the soldiers in the back drew their bows and crossbows, and they all got ready. For a while, it was a circle of defense on all sides, still with shields on the outside and crossbowmen in the middle. Then came the attacking cone, with tall spearmen in front and crossbowmen following closely behind, shouting "Kill!" Kill! After killing", he rushed forward suddenly, so frightened that some of the onlookers couldn't help but turn around and run away, and it became a mess.

These formations are all made up by Zhou Bian, and they are still relatively novel in this era, but only the people on the city tower can see it clearly, and they are not afraid that the people among the civilians will learn it, and the formation is simple, if you want to learn it, there is nothing you can't learn, just to see who arranges the formation quickly and finely, so Zhou Bian dares to appear directly in front of the world.

After a few formations, I only heard the Taishi sigh, "It's okay to defend." ”
