Later, Lu Guang confirmed this matter with the innkeeper, which was a major discovery, even if the Luoyang city wall was impregnable and the army was coming, there was no way to prevent the city defense from being insufficient. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info At the same time, Lu Guang thought of a bolder plan, "You can't wait for Cao Qi here, this plan must have Cao Qi's response." Thinking of this, Lu Guang walked out of the inn quickly, went to the market to buy a few changes of clothes, and bought some wine and meat to eat, and asked passers-by about the location of the Luoyang Barracks, and strode over. The city defense barracks are not outside Luoyang City, but around the school field in the west of the city, Lu Guang counted the barracks guards for more than a dozen dollars, and then inquired about Cao Qi's whereabouts, because Cao Qi's appearance and figure are too special, as long as he describes it slightly, someone will know. Cao Qi really became the officer's personal soldier, and the officer was the commander of the city defense team, stationed at the west gate of Luoyang City, and was responsible for checking suspicious people entering and leaving the city. After getting the news, Lu Guang did not delay, and came to the West Gate again, and sure enough, he saw a camp tent set up next to the West Gate, and two Yan soldiers stood outside the tent. {}. After explaining the intention, he took out the wine and meat he brought, saying that it was to reward the brothers who were guarding the city, and the soldiers of the Yan army also showed a smile when they saw the wine and meat, and immediately reported to the commander, and after a while, the commander also walked out of the tent, followed by Cao Qi. Lu Guang hurriedly stepped forward and said: "This military master, let's meet again, just because my guy has just arrived in Luoyang, and he is naturally reckless, I am worried that I will cause trouble for the military master, and I can't rest assured, so I will send him some change of clothes, and second, I will ask him a few words, you see?" Saying that, Lu Guang stuffed a money bag into the officer's hand, and said: "In the future, the black head will have to let the military master take care of it!" ”

The officer flipped the money bag in his hand, and although it was not much, it was also a windfall. So he smiled slightly and said: "It's easy to say, it's easy to say, General Ben is also a person who loves talents, I saw at a glance that this kid with the black head is a good material, you can rest assured, the black head will not treat him badly with me in the future, if you have anything to talk about, you can talk about it now, but it won't be too long." ”

Lu Guang thanked him again, then pulled Cao Qi aside, lowered his voice and quickly explained his plan. Lu Guang asked again: "Do you understand?" ”

Cao Qi touched his head, thought for a while, and then nodded and said, "I'm here for you, don't worry." Then, Lu Guang handed over the clothes to Cao Qi, and after pretending to tell him, he left the West Gate.

Murong Zhu, the assassin and general of the Luozhou Assassin Mansion, was anxiously waiting for the news of Taifu's reinforcements, and since he learned the news that the Qin army was coming, Murong Zhu wrote an emergency document and sent a fast horse to Yecheng for help, but he didn't get any news for a long time. Murong Zhu was in a hurry. It was difficult to sleep and eat for several days, and he knew very well in Luoyang's city defense that the total number of soldiers and horses in the city was not more than 10,000, and he could not compete with the Qin army at all. If there were no reinforcements, it would be impossible to resist the Qin army's hundreds of thousands of iron cavalry with only a strong city wall, and if the Qin army surrounded it without fighting, it would only be possible to die without a fight after a few months when the grain and grass in the city ran out. Murong Zhu was originally a person who had no opinions and swayed from side to side. In order to buy time for the arrival of reinforcements, he adopted the bluff strategy of his subordinate Jiang Huai, the right middle general, to put it simply, to capture Ding extensively in Luoyang City and the surrounding villages and towns. to rapidly expand the force. As soon as this trick came out, Luoyang City was full of complaints, every household was panicked, and the sound of scolding sounded, many families tried their best to flee Luoyang with their families, and in the end Ding did not catch much, but the population of Luoyang decreased by three percent, at this time Murong Zhu did not realize his mistake, and still continued to arrest Ding, but where to catch Ding when everyone ran away, in the end, he could only go up to Gu Xi as long as he could move, down to the ignorant teenagers to catch all the numbers, but even so, he only expanded the army to less than 30,000, which is still far from enough. How good is that? Murong Zhu hurriedly circled on the ground, and suddenly another soldier came to report that it was Jiang Huai, who was the right middle lang, and Murong Zhu waved his hand to signal that Jiang Huai was invited. After a while, I saw a person come in, fat and walked up and swayed from side to side, the person who came was Jiang Huai, seeing Murong Zhu, Jiang Huai hugged his fists with a frightened face and said: "Something happened to Lord Assassin Shi!" ”

Murong Zhu was shocked in his heart, and hurriedly asked, "What's the alarm, could it be that the Qin army has arrived?" ”

Jiang Huai gasped and replied, "My lord, it's not the Qin army who is coming, it's ......"

"Report ...... The adult's main bookkeeper, Sun Liang, has an urgent matter to see. Before Jiang Huai's words were finished, another soldier came to report.

"Urgent, urgent? Ay! Please. Murong Zhu couldn't stand it anymore, supporting his forehead with one hand and rubbing his temples vigorously with his thumb. After a while, Sun Liang, the chief bookkeeper, also walked in quickly, and when Sun Liang saw that Jiang Huai was also there, he first bowed Murong Zhu and bowed his hand to Jiang Huai.

Murong Zhu raised his head, looked at Sun Liang, and asked, "What is the urgency when the master book comes?" ”

Sun Liang was a little more city than Jiang Huai, and he didn't show too much panic, Sun Liang arched his hand and said: "My lord, for some reason, rumors spread all over Luoyang City overnight, saying that His Majesty promised to divide Luoyang from Great Qin earlier, and this time the Qin army came not to fight but to collect the city, so even if the city is raised to resist, it is only the internal affairs of Great Qin, and Emperor Yan will not ask, let alone whether there are any reinforcements." ”

"That's nonsense! His Majesty had promised Emperor Qin that after the Qin army helped Yan repel the Jin army, he would cede the west of the Tiger Pass to Great Qin, but His Majesty was only an emergency plan at that time, and there was no documentary evidence between the two countries, so the empty promise was not enough to support it. Murong Zhu patted the table and said.

"Oh, my lord, the urgent matter that the last general was going to say just now is similar to what Master Sun said, who knows what's going on, since last night, all battalions in the army have been rumored, saying that this time the Qin army came to Luoyang not to fight but to incorporate the defenders, so you can't resist, otherwise it will be a crime of rebellion, and you will be punished by the nine clans." Jiang Huai also said.

Murong Zhu's face twitched a few times after hearing this, and his expression was distorted and said: "This, what the hell is going on, the Qin army has not yet arrived, and we ourselves are in a mess first." If the Qin army really came, wouldn't it turn against each other and be defeated without a fight? ”。

Jiang Huai sighed and said: "It's all because the reinforcements didn't come for a long time, so that we have nothing to do, if it goes on like this, I'm afraid that as soon as the Qin army arrives at the edge of Luoyang City, they can only be captured, and the door will be opened." ”

"Huh! How can the general be so discouraged, isn't it that the Qin army has not yet arrived, don't say such a discouraged thing at this time, if this is spread to the general, the army's heart is in chaos, then what should it be? Sun Liang spoke to stop Jiang Huai, but Murong Zhu didn't say a word when he heard it, so Sun Liang stepped forward and said, "My lord, my subordinates suspect that there are spies of the Qin army in this Luoyang City.
