Liu stayed in Jinan for a month, and then bid farewell to his beloved wife Sun Wan and children who returned to his home in Zhushan, took his wife Mihuan, and followed the fleet of the navy and the Langya Chamber of Commerce to Luoyang.

The reason why Liu Cun left in such a hurry was because the Hedong Taishou Han Xian, appointed by Li Wei's imperial court, suddenly led 60,000 Baibo troops to cross the Henan River to invade, and had a fierce conflict with the former colleague stationed in Hongnong, and now Hongnong Taishou Yang Fengsuo, which then affected the Qingzhou army stationed in the west of Luoyang, seriously threatening the safety of Luoyang.

The White Turban Army is a branch of the Yellow Turban Righteous Army, in February of the fifth year of Zhongping, the remnants of the Yellow Turban Army Guo Tai and others revolted in the Baibo Valley of the Xihe River (now Yonggu Town, Xiangfen County, Shanxi), so it was called the White Wave Army. Since the uprising, the White Wave Army took Hedong as its vertical and horizontal location, and threatened the safety of Luoyang many times, and after Guo Taizhan died, the White Wave Army was divided, one of which was dominated by Yang Feng, and the other was dominated by Han Xian.

During the southward movement, the cavalry led by Li Le, a general under Han Xian, twice invaded the territory of Mianchi, which was guarded by the Fourth Division of the Qingzhou Army, and one of them actually rushed to the outside of Xiguan, which was heavily guarded, trampled and devoured nearly 1,000 acres of crops, ransacked six tunken villages in the west fifteen miles of Mianchi County, robbed the peasants of all their cattle and farm tools, and had a fierce battle with Guan Hai, who led his troops out of the customs to rescue.

The civil and military officials such as Mao Jue and Gongsun Fang, Cui Yan and other civil and military officials who stayed in Luoyang, were furious, and urgently reported to Liu Cun and asked for troops to fight.

On the eighth day of the first month of June, Liu Cun rushed to Luoyang with the fleet, and immediately gathered in the camp in the east of the city with more than ten henchmen such as Gongsun Fang, Mao Jue, and Cui Yan who came to greet him.

After listening to Guan Hai and Mao Jue's reports, Liu Cun immediately became furious: "It seems that it will not work if you don't fight." Han Xian and Li Le's subordinates must be hit hard, and they will not be tolerated even if they pay a big price! Otherwise, how will Luoyang, who is surrounded by heroes, deal with itself in the future? And how can I let my fathers and fellow villagers, the heroes of the world and the Chang'an court see the majesty of my Qingzhou army? ”

All the civil and military forces were extremely excited, and they were all gearing up. was about to move, they were waiting for the words of the lord Liu Cun, and they had been waiting for a long time.

Due to the shogunate governor Shi Gongsun Pei staying in Jinan, the military commander Zhonglang led Zhao Rong to join the army team to assist Tai Shici and monitor Jizhou and Youzhou.

It is estimated that Li Dao has sent people from Chang'an to Hongnong to mediate, and Yang Feng and Han Xian have stopped the confrontation since yesterday. Most of the men and horses of Han Xian's troops retreated to Hedong County on the north bank, and Yang Feng's army monitored each other across the river, and the 8,000 cavalry led by Li Le still occupied Shaanxi County and the ferry port north of the city. My lord, please see ......"

Fu Zhu pointed to Shaanxi County, which is located on the south bank of the Yellow River on the map, and his expression was extremely solemn: "Forty miles to the west of this place is Hangu Pass, which is guarded by Yang Feng, and one hundred and fifty miles away from Mianchi, which is guarded by General Guan Hai, although these hundred and fifty miles are all complex hilly and mountainous terrain. It is necessary to cross two rivers, Qinglong Stream and Canglong Stream. But it was not a problem at all for our well-trained army, and the fact that Li Le's 5,000 cavalry was defeated by the 3,000 cavalry led by General Guan Hai is the best proof of this. ”

"Now, what the subordinates and others feel bottomless in their hearts is not whether they can win this battle, but because they are afraid of the positions of Li Dao, Guo Yan and others and the ministers of the DPRK and China, and the attitude of the surrounding princes."

Liu Cun immediately understood Frustrated Professor's thoughts, turned to Cui Yan and Mao Jue and the others and asked, "I'm afraid that all gentlemen and gentlemen are all worried about the same, right?" ”

Everyone nodded in unison, and Cui Yan, who had a beautiful two-foot-long beard, said with a smile: "Although I have concerns. But as the lord said, a battle must be fought to show the majesty of our army...... But. Even if we win the war, we must withdraw as soon as possible, otherwise it will be difficult to face Yang Feng, who has always lived in harmony with each other, and Li Dao and others in the court may not want to see our army approaching Hangu Pass. ”

Mao Jue echoed: "It's not difficult to attack Li Le's department, our division is famous, and no one can say anything...... It's just that if the lord wants to occupy Shaanxi County, I'm afraid it will take some time, and only after winning Yang Feng over or disintegrating his army, can the lord occupy Shaanxi County and even the entire Hongnong County, and firmly control Hangu Pass in our hands. ”

Gongsun Fang, who was responsible for the implementation of the co-optation and disintegration of the generals of Yang Feng's army, immediately said: "That's true, we must withdraw immediately after we win, otherwise the early efforts are likely to be in vain!" ”

Liu Cun solemnly stated his attitude: "I very much agree with your meaning, the biggest purpose of this battle is not to expand the territory, but to take revenge!" ”

"We must let the princes of the world see our inviolable majesty, and let the nearly 500,000 ordinary people who have just been settled know that they are always under the protection of our officials and troops at all levels."

"Only in this way can we truly win the hearts of the people, and finally restore the people's livelihood in Luoyang City and the surrounding three counties, win a stable and peaceful situation, and then achieve the goal of welcoming back the holy car and revitalizing our Han community!"

All the civil and military forces invariably put down their hanging hearts. Before, everyone was most worried that the lord was eager to recover all the territory of the surrounding three counties, if this was the case, it was very likely to be attacked by the joint attack of the Baibo army and the Xiliang army, and even pushed the friendly Yang Fengsuo troops into the hostile camp.

Liu Cun approached the map and explained the battle plan he had carefully formulated along the way: "My idea is not only to completely defeat Li Lesuo's troops who occupy Shaanxi County, but also to annihilate this stubborn enemy who has done many evils as much as possible!" ”

"The preliminary plan is to send General Guan Hai's headquarters and 15,000 new soldiers newly recruited in Luoyang to attack Shaanxi County steadily, and at the same time mobilize the cavalry brigade of Xu Sheng's 1st Division, the cavalry brigade of Wei Yan's 7th Division, Cheng Ji's guard division, the 5,000 cavalry of Sima Li Zao's other division of the navy, and the 5,000 sailors of Sima Ju, the left governor of the navy, and all the warships, to join the fleet of the chamber of commerce, and secretly land on the north shore under the cover of night."

"This battle was under the unified command of the deputy marshal Xu Sheng, the naval warships and most of the cavalry carried out a fierce attack on Han Xian's troops stationed at the ferry port on the north bank, and the other 5,000 cavalry ignored it and went straight to Anyi (now Xia County, Shanxi), the administrative office of Hedong County, where the army was empty, no matter how much it cost, as long as we can annihilate half of Han Xian's troops, and carry out a merciless large-scale attack on Anyi, which has been rich in the world with the benefits of salt and iron for hundreds of years, our goal will be achieved."

Fu Zhi and the others were extremely shocked, after they had planned to defeat Li Le in Shaanxi County. Taking advantage of the strong fleet transportation capacity, he concentrated 40,000 troops to cross the river and fight a decisive battle with Han Xian's army. And to this end, a complete set of plans has been developed.

However, including Fu Zhu and Cui Yan, who were thoughtful and full of overall vision, they did not expect to combine the strength of the land and water armies to start this big war, and they would also send partial divisions to surprise attack Fufu Anyi, who was empty of troops in the hinterland of Hedong County, and now it seems that this move is the key to this big war. It is really an unpredictable stroke of genius, and if it succeeds, it is bound to cause a sensation in the world.

What is especially admired by Fu Zhu and others. Liu Zheng had already quietly launched an operation on the way to Luoyang, and now he actually said cruel words of "no matter how much it costs", the purpose is obvious, and it is feasible - to use 15,000 soldiers and more than 10,000 new soldiers of the Fourth Division of Guanhai to serve as a frontal attack. to attract the attention of enemy troops. Secretly sent the 20,000 cavalry to the north bank, and used the impact power and speed of the cavalry to launch a fierce attack on the Han Xian army stationed along the ferry port on the north bank and Anyi, which was empty, and the enemy was surprised and taken by surprise!

Guan Hai, Xu Sheng, Cheng Ji, Li Zai and other generals were all so excited that they stood up and began to calculate and deduce around the map, while Liu Cun returned to their seats with Fu Zhu, Mao Ji and others to discuss logistics support matters with the remaining troops of various departments.

Captain Zhai of the personal guard battalion is in a hurry, and the personal guard battalion under his command has been expanded to 8,000 soldiers. Except for the 3,000 soldiers who stayed in Jinan's general's mansion, the remaining 5,000 were in Luoyang.

These 5,000 elite soldiers were drawn from various brigades of the Langya Army. Whether it is foot combat or cavalry combat, they are the elite of the elite of the whole army, and now that the big war is imminent, there is nothing to do with the personal guard battalion, how can it not make Zhai Chao, who is eager to fight, anxious?

If the 5,000 old brothers under his command can't catch up with this big battle, I'm afraid that his boss will be scolded to death.

Seeing Zhai Tend standing pitifully in front of him, Liu Cun pretended not to see it, and only cared about talking to Fu Zhi and others, and finally Cui Yan, who was still upright, couldn't see it, and pleaded with Liu Cun for Zhai Ten:

"Lord, the total strength of the enemy army in this battle is as high as 50,000, and there are still 30,000 elites stationed on the front line of Pingyang (now Linfen, Shaanxi), three hundred miles north of Xia County, to guard against the unpredictable Huns, but if this man and horse hear the news and go south to support, they can rush to Changyi in one day, so the subordinates suggest that if the lord's personal guard battalion has no other arrangements, it is better to send some cavalry to participate in the battle, which is also in line with the original intention of the lord to test the effectiveness of army training!"

"What Mr. Cui said is that our guard battalion trains the hardest, how can we know if it's good or bad if we don't try it on the battlefield!" Zhai Chao hurriedly shouted.

Everyone knows that the guard battalion under the command of the lord has strong combat effectiveness, and the captain of the guard battalion, Zhai Chao, is the longest-educated general under the lord, and it is impossible not to pull out the tiger and wolf division under his command in this battle, so knowing that Liu Cun did it on purpose, he was still amused by Zhai Tse, who was full of eagerness and grievances like a little daughter-in-law.

After smiling, Liu Cun signaled Zhai to come closer, and solemnly admonished with a sinking face: "Since you are so eager to fight, I will hand over the most important task of this battle to you, and you will lead 5,000 soldiers to take on the important task of attacking Anyi, and I will give you the configuration of 5,000 soldiers with one person and two horses, and the navy will fully cooperate with your department to cross the river secretly." ”

"Starting tomorrow, your unit must go to the Mengjin Navy garrison to train for ten days with the upcoming 1,000 soldiers of the Huben Battalion, the Great River Fleet of the Navy, and Li Zai's Infantry Cavalry, and I have only one request: within two days of the launch of the campaign, you must take Anyi for me with the cooperation of the soldiers of the Huben Battalion, plunder all the money of Anyi for me, and then quickly return to the predetermined place and return to the south!"

"Subordinates obey!"

Zhai Chao's right arm slammed into his left chest, making an extremely powerful guarantee.

Cheng Yu, Mao Jue and the others looked at each other, but after thinking about it, they immediately figured it out, which army has captured the city and not plundered it in recent years?

What's more, this time the division is famous, coupled with the overwhelming guidance of public opinion in Qingzhou and Luoyang, the plundering can also be justified, and what the world will see at that time is that justice defeats evil and morality is promoted!
