Luoyang City in August and September, the autumn is bright, hot and cold are suitable, it should be a good time to play in the autumn, but at this time, it is a solemn atmosphere, since a few days ago, the Shaanxi Ming army stationed in Yanshi, took the initiative to retreat to Luoyang, more than 100,000 Wu troops with bright armor, has been tightly besieged Luoyang City for a few days, fortunately, Luoyang City is thick with high walls, in addition, here is originally an important area of a number of big cities, has always been an important strategic place, want to capture Luoyang, is not a huge force can do.

In addition, Li Yan has long been prepared to trap Luoyang, food, baggage, and all kinds of things needed for war, Luoyang City has hoarded a lot, and he is not afraid of the siege of the Wu army at all, and more importantly, Luoyang City only relies on the Luo River, and now it is autumn at will, but it has not yet reached the dry season, and the Wu army besieging Luoyang has no way to cut off the water source of the Luo River, so now Li Yan is not in a hurry, and more importantly, they are waiting for an important opportunity.

"His grandmother's, looking at these people below, I was angry, if it wasn't for the last resort, I really wanted to take someone down to kill him, but unfortunately, General Li said, the time is not right, no one is allowed to go out of the city to fight, Shen Ping, you say, can that thing really be realized, you know, for the success of this plan, we have given up a lot, how many opportunities to repel the enemy, let's not talk about it, just say this time, if we fail, I'm afraid we won't even be able to hold this Luoyang City." It was Li Guo who spoke.

Since Li Guo joined the Shaanxi Ming Army for so long, he has gradually become familiar with everything in the Ming Army, and at the same time, he has also identified with them in many places, and has been with Shen Ping and Yang Guoguang, the generals of the younger generation of the Ming Army. also gets along very well, and this is also what Song Xiance and Liu Zongmin and other generals of the Dashun Army are happy to see, after all, as the heir of Li Zicheng, the current leader of the Dashun Army. Li Guoyue is integrated into the Shaanxi court, which means that when the Dashun army integrates into the Shaanxi court in the future, it will be more relaxed.

Since the Battle of Bishui Pass, Li Guo followed Yang Guoguang back to Luoyang, and since then, he has never gone out, which is also Li Yan's strategy, that is, to show the enemy to be weak, so as to retain enough strength. But although this retains enough strength, it makes Li Guo, a person who has some itchy hands without fighting for three days, feel quite uncomfortable, not to mention that since the Wu army surrounded Luoyang City, although there has been no formal attack, more than 100,000 people shouting horses every day still stir up the city of Luoyang, so Li Guo and others will go to the city from time to time to investigate. On the one hand, it is to explore the specific situation of Wu Jun, and on the other hand, it is just an addiction.

Hear Li Guo's words. Shen Ping smiled and said, "Gongzi Li, don't worry, this plan will definitely succeed." ”

Seeing that Shen Ping, who was usually cautious about everything, now actually said such a sure thing, which made Li Guo stunned for a moment, and then asked, "Why are you so sure." Don't you know what the inside story can't be. ”

As soon as Li Guo's words were said, Shen Ping didn't answer, and Yang Guoguang on the side said, "Li Gongzi, you don't know this, and I also know the reason." They don't know what the inside story is, but as long as they know that this matter was planned by Lord Shi himself, then they will definitely be able to succeed, you know, we have followed Lord Shi since he was still a county commander, and we followed him to fight in the north and south, needless to say, the hardships and dangers are needless to say, many times of thrilling, but Lord Shi can come up with a way to turn the danger into a disaster every time at a critical moment, so since this plan is personally commanded by Lord Shi, let alone deal with Wu Sangui, these shrimp soldiers and crab generals, Even the elite of the Eight Banners of the more than 100,000 Manchu Qing Dynasty only had to eat the deflated. ”

Yang Guoguang spoke, and although Shen Ping on the side did not speak, he kept nodding his head, and there were even a few traces of light in his eyes that were rarely seen.

"You, you, are you so confident in Lord Shi?" Looking at the two people who were usually very capable in their eyes, and now they actually respected and even worshiped a person who was not as big as them, how could this not surprise Li Guo?

"Hahahaha, Li Gongzi, you don't know this, in our Shaanxi, or in the entire Shaanxi Ming Army, as long as there is no one who has followed Lord Shi to fight, there is no one who does not respect him, he is a saint in our eyes, as long as he is there, no matter what the environment, any difficulty, we are never afraid, because we know that the final victor must be us." Seeing Li Guo's surprised look, Yang Guoguang said with a smile.

Yang Guoguang's words made Li Guo even more surprised, just when he wanted to ask again, he suddenly heard a rapid long horn sound from the Wu army camp outside the city, hearing the horn sound, the three of them suddenly had a blow on their faces, this kind of horn sound, only one time will be blown, that is, the season army, when it is ready to attack, it will be blown, thinking of this, the three of them looked at each other, although their faces were all serious, but their eyes were full of fiery emotions, they knew that the Wu army was finally going to attack

Outside Luoyang City, in the Wu army camp, Hong Chengchou and Wu Sangui were also discussing the next things.

"Virtuous nephew, look at it, this is a letter from the regent, saying that if we go well here, we can take Luoyang in the shortest possible time and eliminate the soldiers and horses sent to Henan by the Shaanxi court, the court will take advantage of the winter to go south to conquer the land of Jiangnan, you know, if we can't quickly take the land of Jiangnan, wait until next year, I'm afraid it will be very disadvantageous to us, after all, without the support of fish and rice that Jiangnan knows, the court can't afford to consume it at all." Looking at the letterhead in his hand, Hong Chengchou said with a frown.

Hearing Hong Chengchou's words, Wu Sangui took the letter paper in his hand, and after looking at it a few times, he frowned a little, and after thinking about it, he said, "Uncle, although we seem to have the advantage right now, and we have completely trapped Li Yan and others in this Luoyang City, but you also know that this is just a superficial phenomenon, the Ming army has not had a head-to-head duel with our army at all, and there is not much loss in strength at all. In this case, we want to capture Luoyang City in a short time, which is tantamount to a fool's dream.

And Zuo Liangyu, who originally made an appointment with us to attack Li Yan and others together, is now stopped under Nanyang City, and cannot advance an inch, more importantly, we have not solved the food problem now, when the Ming army retreated, all the food that could be taken away was taken away, and what could not be taken away was completely burned clean, and we are not sure how long we can hold out. ”

"Hey, this is also where the old man is embarrassed, I know what you said, but what the regent said is indeed the truth, if we can't go south quickly and take Jiangnan and other places, then there will be a food shortage in the entire court, in this way, if the court wants to maintain its rule, it must have enough food, so if you want to get food, there is only one way, increase taxes, but in this way, the people will definitely not be willing, when the time comes, the situation of the chaos in the world at the end of the Ming Dynasty will happen again, if this is the case, even if the Manchu Eight Banners are in the elite, they can't be suppressed at all, and when the time comes, the imperial court will only have one way to lose.

More importantly, if we can't get those Luoyang quickly, when the time comes, maybe Shaanxi Shilei will send troops to the rescue, if that's really the case, I'm afraid we will only have one way to retreat, if that's the case, our hard work for this period of time, but it will be completely in vain, are you willing to watch the credit in hand, just slip away in vain. Hong Chengchou said in a heavy tone.

Hearing Hong Chengchou's words, Wu Sangui was also a little helpless, to be honest, he didn't care at all about the life and death of the Manchu court, and even he wished that the Manchu court would end soon, but not now, Wu Sangui also knew that at this time, if the Manchu court was really finished, then he was not the opponent of the Shaanxi Ming army at all, if he changed an enemy, whether it was Li Zicheng, or Zhang Xianzhong, or even the Yongli court in Jiangnan, he would not be afraid, for those forces, Wu Sangui has enough self-confidence, can win.

But to the Shaanxi court, or to Shi Lei, when he was a teenager who was about the same age as his son, he had no bottom in his heart, no matter in a short period of time, starting from scratch, or defeating the Manchu army led by Duoduo, which made Wu Sangui feel shocked every time he thought about it, in addition to shock, there was a little fear, especially during this period of time with the Ming army, whether it was the blocking of Bishui Pass, or the defense of Yanshi City, the tenacity and strength of the Ming army, all made Wu Sangui sigh.

Therefore, Wu Sangui knew that he decided that he could not let the Manchu Qing fall before defeating the Shaanxi Ming army, if the Manchu Qing fell, then what awaited him Wu Sangui would be a tragic end, for the Shaanxi Hongguang Imperial Court, especially Shi Lei's disgust with traitors, the world has long been spread.

After weighing the pros and cons in his heart for a long time, Wu Sangui finally decided that this time he would take Luoyang City as soon as possible according to Dolgon's instructions, after all, he would gain more than the loss of Luoyang City.

"Okay, uncle, in that case, then we can only follow the order of the regent and start as soon as possible, and strive to take Luoyang City in the shortest possible time." Wu Sangui, who had thought about it, said to Hong Chengchou.
