Chapter 159: More Important Things

Ge Rong hoped to take advantage of the unstable situation in the Northern Wei Dynasty to directly take Luoyang in one fell swoop, although this is a bit imitating Er Zhurong's meaning, but it is also the most direct and effective way, the greater the risk, the higher the return, Ge Rong has always understood.

Ge Rong was just about to take action, but he was shocked to hear that Chen Yu actually raised troops from the rear to attack him, and at the same time, Er Zhurong also sent troops to attack, and in desperation, Ge Rong had to give up the plan to attack Luoyang directly, and convened the generals to discuss countermeasures.

"That Yuan Ziyou has already issued an edict to prepare for the imperial expedition, he ordered Er Zhurong to be the left army, Yuan Tianmu to be the front army, Yang Chun to be the right army, and Mu Shao to be the rear army, ready to gather all kinds of soldiers and horses to fight a decisive battle with us, but Er Zhurong and Chen Yu have already taken the lead in sending troops, what do you think about this" Ge Rong asked slowly after glancing at the crowd.

"The new emperor has just ascended the throne, Er Zhurong has such a hand in Heyin, the current court is unstable, what combat power can the army have" Luoyang was captured by more than 10,000 people of Er Zhurong, Yuwenlian was even more disdainful of the imperial court, "Xing Gao led more than 100,000 Hebei refugees to claim to be the king of Han, and Liu Ju, a native of Guangzhou, gathered people in Puyang to rebel and proclaimed himself the general of Huangwu, and the Liang Dynasty sent the general Cao Yizong to surround Jingzhou, at this time the internal and external troubles of the Northern Wei Dynasty were extremely serious, where did they come from, I think it is just a swollen face and a fat man"

"What the second brother said is not unreasonable, but the army of the imperial court is not easy to underestimate, Er Zhurong was almost bloodless when he entered Beijing last time, and the soldiers and horses of the imperial court have not been affected, and now that the regime of Empress Hu has been overthrown, the military and people of the imperial court are rejoicing and fighting spirit, and the imperial court may not be long before it will be much more difficult to deal with than before" Yuwen Luosheng opened his mouth and analyzed.

"The soldiers and horses of the imperial court are still far away, let's talk about Er Zhurong and Chen Yu as the enemies in front of me first" Ge Rong said slowly, he actually didn't put Chen Yu and Er Zhurong in his eyes in his heart, "Chen Yu, this kid, I thought he would just get a good time, but I didn't expect him to dare to talk to me, isn't he afraid of the sneak attack of the grassland people behind him?"

"The news just reported, Chen Yu brought 20,000 new troops and 3,000 grassland cavalry this time" Hearing Ge Rong's inquiry, Yuwen Luosheng continued to explain: "Although he brought not many soldiers and horses, he was extremely elite. We have also heard of the combat power of the new army, and with fierce generals such as the Heba brothers and Yu Jin as a think tank, Chen Yu's force must not be underestimated."

"But 20,000 soldiers and horses, we are no less than 400,000 troops, I know that Chen Yu is rampant, but I didn't expect it to be crazy like this" Yu Wenhao seemed to be angry by Chen Yu's arrogance and laughed, "Luo Sheng, you also give me 30,000 soldiers and horses." I'm going to capture him alive."

"Of course, the king of heaven is in charge of sending troops" Yuwen Luosheng was helpless to his brother's unbridled mouth, and he relieved his heart when he saw Ge Rong and showed dissatisfaction. Then he paused and said: "Yu Jin has been fighting with us for many years, this person is very wise, last time it wasn't for the discord to force him to return to Beijing, how could we and Yuan Shen be able to divide the victory and defeat so quickly, and now with a scheming Chen Yu, it can't be underestimated."

"I suggest that the eldest brother and the second brother go with them, and bring the most elite headquarters of 50,000 soldiers and horses, so that they will have the strength to fight," Yuwen Luosheng asked Ge Rong for instructions.

"Yes," Ge Rong said lightly.

"The lord is wise" Yuwen Luosheng symbolically said politely, and immediately reminded: "The two brothers have arrived at Wuyuan to camp in the army. Don't rush in, you don't want a big victory in this mission, just intercept Chen Yu, and when our side divides the victory, Chen Yu will naturally retreat In addition, although there are not many soldiers and horses in Erzhurong, he is also an elite division. However, the Qihu tribe is all cavalry, as long as we hold the city to the death on the one hand, and cut off Erzhurong's return route by dividing our troops on the other, we will be able to completely annihilate them when the time comes."

"Er Zhurong has made the Northern Wei court already frightened, once we defeat Er Zhurong, the imperial army will definitely be afraid. When the time comes, I will raise troops and go straight to Luoyang, and the big thing will be done," Yuwen Luosheng said, then looked at Ge Rong, waiting for the lord to make a statement.

"There is no problem with the plan, but the personnel need to be changed a little" Ge Rong pretended to think for a moment before he said: "The resourcefulness of Yu Jin and Chen Yu cannot be underestimated, and the bravery of the Heba brothers is even more difficult to have an opponent, so I decided to let Luo Sheng and you go with the two Yuwen generals." So that I can have no worries."

"If we go together, your lord, you will be here," Yuwen Luosheng stopped when he wanted to speak.

"Haha, the plan is set, do I still have any problems here" Ge Rong pretended to be arrogant and said: "You take tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, but I still have 300,000 troops, what is there to worry about"

Although Yuwen Luosheng felt that what Ge Rong said was indeed very reasonable, but for some reason, he was still a little worried in his heart, but thinking that the relationship between his brother and Ge Rong had not been very harmonious recently, Yuwen Luosheng was also afraid that saying too much would make Ge Rong unhappy, so he hesitated for a moment and then gave up insisting on his opinion

Er Zhurong turned a deaf ear to the emperor's intention to combine all the troops to defeat Ge Rong, he had already set off with his troops at this time, Er Zhurong did not have many soldiers and horses but was extremely elite, and he selected the strongest 7,000 soldiers on this expedition.

Er Zhurong went out with two horses this time, which allowed them to ensure sufficient mobility, and at the same time, Er Zhurong even prepared a stick for each person, which was a secret weapon that was very useful.

This time, the vanguard general of the Erzhurong faction is neither Er Zhuzhao, who is brave and abnormal, but also Er Zhuzhao, who is loved by him, nor Dou Tai, who has extremely high martial arts and a calm personality, because these two are now under the command of Yuan Tianmu, and they are really far from quenching their thirst.

There are indeed many soldiers and horses in the imperial court, and Er Zhurong is also quite jealous of this, only by letting the huge Taiwanese army in the hands of his sworn brother Yuan Tianmu, Er Zhurong will be completely relieved, but Yuan Tianmu was just a down-and-out clan before after all, and there are not many people under him who can use it, so Er Zhurong let the powerful Er Zhuzhao and Dou Tai stay to assist him, and Gao Huan, who is also in Luoyang, can also assist him.

As for Erzhu Tianguang, who was most valued by Er Zhurong, he was left by Er Zhurong to guard the base camp of Jinyang, so that the vanguard of the army on this expedition fell on the head of a person who no one expected, that is, Hou Jing, the wolf king of the slope foot.

Hou Jing was in a mood before because Chen Yu didn't take him away, but this time he was completely happy, he was also a descendant of Qihu, Hou Jing has always had an attitude of looking up to Er Zhurong, and now he can hold an important position in his idol's army, which is enough to make this madman in troubled times feel very happy, as for the situation that the opponent Ge Rong's strength is more than forty times that of his own, Hou Jing didn't worry about it at all, because his arrangement for Chen Yu was extremely new, and his worship of Er Zhurong was extremely blind

Compared with the rapid march of Er Zhurong's troops, the first official expedition of the Huaishuo New Army seemed very cautious, and the slow march gave people a feeling of sightseeing, the commander of the army this time was He Basheng, Chen Yu's reason was very simple, how could he be the commander and let the master serve under him.

Of course, the main reason is that Chen Yu is not in the army at all, he just showed his face before the army set out, said a few words, and then he left the army, in Chen Yu's heart, there are some things that are much more important than this decisive battle.
