Li Mi looked at the city wall of Luoyang and sighed, the city wall of Luoyang was not the highest in the Sui Dynasty, not as good as Xijing Chang'an, but its solidity was not comparable to Chang'an, they had been attacking for three days in a row, but there was no improvement in the slightest, the casualties of the soldiers were acceptable, but morale became a problem.

"General, we can't continue to spend it like this under Luoyang City, and if we continue to consume it, the imperial army will surround us."

For Li Mi's persuasion, Yang Xuangan couldn't make up his mind for a while, Luoyang City is three zhang eight feet high, more than six zhang thick, although the Sui army is not enough in number, but their own troops are not very many, Luoyang City is too big, they have no way to besiege Luoyang from all directions, plus the army was hasty, and the army was unable to take Linqing Pass before, resulting in Yang Xuangan, who had a large number of grain and grass materials and dragon boats, had to give up these materials and cross the Yellow River from Jijun. In this way, their limited vehicles can only carry as many people and food and grass as possible, and they cannot carry too many siege equipment.

"If only I could bring out Liyang's trebuchet, then Luoyang City wouldn't be a problem for us!"

Yang Xuangan looked at the immovable Luoyang City, and said indignantly, in fact, he knew in his heart that with the solidity of Luoyang City, even if he broke the outer city, he still couldn't help the inner city, this city was built by his father, and no one knew better than him.

On the tower of Shangchun Gate, Yang Tong and Liu Zhi, the king of Yue, were watching the battle on the city tower.

"Sir, I have already sent someone to send a letter to the third brother stationed in Xijing to ask for help, Xijing is only more than 700 miles away from Luoyang, if the cavalry travels day and night, it will arrive in the afternoon of the day after tomorrow at the latest."

Although it was the first time for Yang Tong to see such a big war scene, he was very calm, because he knew that his current situation was very safe, and the rebels could not threaten him.

Liu Zhi shook the feather fan lightly and said: "Your Highness, what you have done is good, but at the moment these alone are not enough to defeat the rebels, if my expectations are good, Yang Xuangan will withdraw tonight, we can't wait for reinforcements all the time, and we must take the initiative to attack, so that Your Highness will get more attention on Your Majesty's side." ”

Yang Tong was a little confused and asked: "Grandfather has always disliked my father, if we make an assertion and lose Luoyang City, grandfather will definitely be even more angry, sir, should we be more steady?" ”

Yang Tong's father is Yang Zhao, the prince of Yuande, Yang Zhao only lived to be twenty-two years old before he died, Yang Tong was only three years old when he died, and he didn't remember anything, but officially because his father died early, so his grandmother Empress Xiao would take special care of their three grandsons, hired the best teacher for them, and cared for them very much and even doted on, but Yang Guang, Emperor Yang of Sui, was very strict with the three of them, which made the three brothers always cautious, always thinking that their grandfather thought that their father's relationship did not like him.

"Your Highness, His Royal Highness King Yan has always followed His Majesty's side, and he will take him wherever he goes, doesn't His Highness understand? Your Majesty doesn't dislike you, it's because he expects a lot from you, so you must not be arrogant, if there will be chaos today, Your Majesty's army is blocked in Youzhou, if we can't stabilize the situation in Luoyang as soon as possible, I'm afraid that the Eastern Expeditionary Army will be in chaos without a fight, and then Your Majesty's situation will be dangerous, as for His Royal Highness's concern about the safety of Luoyang, this can be assured, Henan Lingda Xi goodwill, Zanzhi Pei Hongce has led 15,000 troops to the direction of the eastern capital to help, It is expected that it will arrive tonight, and I have sent a message to them to cooperate with our actions, and the rebels are numerous, but most of them are rabble, and there is nothing to fear, as long as we make a great noise and shake the hearts of their troops, we have a great chance of victory. ”

Yang Tong was relieved after hearing this, in fact, Liu Zhi still had something to tell him, that is, he had given an order to Yujuluo, who was stationed in Hedong, to send five thousand cavalry across the river to help, and this army would be a surprise soldier for them.

Yujuluo is strong in martial arts, a sword alone in the world, his apprentice Yuwen Chengdu is the world's first fierce general, and he himself is also an unstoppable brave general, but his life is a little bad, always suspicious of Emperor Yang, at the beginning of the time when he was in charge of Fengzhou, because of his younger brother, he was recalled by Emperor Yang to relieve the military power, Yujuluo was afraid, thinking that he had angered the emperor, so he took gifts to make friends with the princes and ministers, especially Yang Su, the Duke of Chu, and Yang Su was a veteran of the dynasty, and he had huge strength in the army in the court, This made Emperor Yang uneasy, very suspicious of him, originally as a frontier general, it was not appropriate to contact Situ in private, and it happened that this person was the most feared person of Emperor Yang, which caused him to be angry and dismissed Yujuluo from his post and thrown into prison, although he was soon released, but there was always a mustard in his heart, originally when he went east to Goguryeo, he planned to keep Yujuluo by his side, but it happened to be the unstable situation in the country, Yujuluo was left by him and trained in Hedong, which was equivalent to demotion, Although Yujuluo was demoted, he was still training conscientiously, and soon he had a cavalry of 5,000 people under his hands, and Yujuluo was the best at using cavalry, which had been verified when dealing with the Turks in Fengzhou, so he would use it as Liu Zhi's strange soldier.

The sky darkened, there was silence everywhere, Yang Xuangan's army had fought for a day, and the soldiers were exhausted, but Yang Xuangan did not sleep, he was studying the military situation in front of the map, the lights in the Chinese army's tent flickered, he suddenly felt something, looked up at the outside of the tent, and found that Li Mi had walked into the tent.

"Xuan Di came to visit late at night, there must be something important to tell me, right?"

Yang Xuan felt that Li Mi's expression was serious, and his steps were hurried, as if he had an urgent report.

"General, tonight the moon and stars are scarce, the wind is high and the moon is dark, and Mi is uneasy, so he made a divination and found that this is a travel hexagram."

Yang Xuan couldn't understand divination, so he didn't know whether the travel hexagram was evil or auspicious, so he asked, "Is this reconciliation?" ”

Li Mi sighed and explained: "The nest is built on the flying bird tree, and the villain makes the plan burn!" This hexagram is a different hexagram, which is just the opposite of the Feng hexagram, in which the three yin and three yang are all omen of great evil! The lord should be in danger of burning tonight, and he is tired of fleeing! ”

Yang Xuan was taken aback and asked, "You mean that someone wants to rob the camp and set it on fire?" ”

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a noise in the camp, and only someone shouted loudly: "Fire, fire, come and put out the fire!" ”
