Wei Chenliang was indeed very puzzled, he thought that he had heard it wrong, although he chuckled in his heart, but then he thought about it, but he shook his head.

Hangu Pass there, it has been confirmed that Qin Shaoyou led the main force Chen Bing under Hangu Pass, since this is the case, then the thief army of Hangu Pass will never appear here, even if they leave now, it will be more than 20 days later, and they are already a few steps away from Luoyang, and when they come back, the daylily will already be yellow.

These are not the main force of the thief army, where did the army come from, most of them, that is, some of the defenders garrisoned near Luoyang, the horses have already returned, and the military horses in the Luoyang area are more than 10,000 when they are full, and that's it...... It is also deployed everywhere, and where did most of the thieves come from?

This may just be a trick to set up a suspicious array, Wei Chenliang thought of this, settled down, and hurriedly ordered someone to probe again.

It's just that the news of re-exploration is even more terrifying, to the west and north of his camp, there are mighty Shence troops and five military camps, the number of people is estimated to be more than 50,000, at this time is outflanking from two roads, with lightning speed, without making any stops.

At this time in the camp, Wei Chenliang is drinking with the governors, and he will enter Luoyang tomorrow, so today is particularly critical, in addition to the deployment of the siege, it is how to divide the spoils, everyone understands, there is almost no city to defend in Luoyang, there is almost no city wall, as soon as the army arrives, people inside and outside Luoyang will be slaughtered, and everywhere in this Luoyang city, there are also poor and rich, such as leaning on the east, is the famous Luoyang horse market, where is the most famous livestock market in Luoyang, and there is also the East Market, Therefore, the most wealthy merchants gathered, and in the west, although there is a west market. However, most of them are retail-oriented, and they are all small transactions, which are far worse than those in Dongcheng.

Of course, the richest place is to the north. Beicheng, which is close to Mengjin, there are many workshops there, and there is no end in sight, producing hundreds of thousands of catties of steel and tens of thousands of horses of silk every day. More than sixty percent of the wealth of the entire Luoyang is gathered there.

Since you want to enter the army, you can't mess up, otherwise it is easy to have infighting, after all, the various departments belong to different parts, just like a group of rats falling into the rice tank, it is inevitable that disputes will arise for wealth, the best way. Of course, each went back to his own home, each looking for his parents, and each department found a place to attack. The winding paths are clear, and the province will cause something.

These governors have their own wishful thinking, everyone knows that Beicheng is the best place to go, if the troops occupy it, overnight. is the most ordinary pawn, I am afraid that they can get rich, not to mention these governors, which are even more gold and silver, and they can't catch up.

So even though he was drinking. He is happy, but there is a lot of wit in his words, for Beicheng, this time Wei Chenliang is bound to win, not to mention anything else, this time he is the pioneer of his own department, is this great benefit, and he has to give it to others? It's just that he knows in his heart that this alone may not be convincing, so he is determined to keep quiet, and let them compete with the mussels first, and then when everyone is in trouble, he will do 'peace and old things' again.

But at this time, when the accurate emergency report came, the wine cup in Wei Chenliang's hand fell to the ground with a clatter, and it was shattered, Wei Chenliang's face pulled down, and he couldn't help but say, "Is the news accurate?" This...... How is it possible, where did the thief army come from, this ...... Where did the more than 50,000 thieves come from, could this be Qin Shaoyou's suspicious strategy, presumably yes, Qin Shaoyou's main force is clearly in Hangu Pass, didn't they have wings? ”

Immediately, Wei Chenliang couldn't help laughing, but this dry laugh seemed a little unconfident.

Although he said so, this was news that had been confirmed again and again, and he knew very well that if more than 50,000 Shence troops or five military camps fell from the sky, his plan to capture Luoyang would be completely ruined.

Let alone......

He had a bad feeling in his heart, he said, while staring at the scout, hoping that the scout would hesitate at this time, and say a few ambiguous words, indicating that there may indeed be doubts, so that he can breathe a sigh of relief, but the scout did not hesitate to say: "Dudu, this is the exact news, the scout camp also feels that something is wrong, so they take the risk to test one or two, there is no mistake, they are all elite thieves, all equipped with crossbows, and even in their rear team, artillery was also found, almost all of them are well-trained, It can't be a suspicious formation. ”

Speaking of which, there is silence in the big tent, and the needles can be heard.

"Where did these people come from?" Someone was surprised.

In fact, in everyone's heart, this thought can't help but come to mind, people...... How it came.

At least in their understanding, the mobilization of the army, obviously, it is impossible to be so fast, if it is just a small team of people, you can go, it is easy, but the mighty army, how can it be so easy, just like the hundreds of thousands of coalition troops, all the way north, plus the people who transport grain, there are 300,000 people, and the team stretches for hundreds of miles, and between the two wings, it may be dozens of miles apart, so often before the troops, in order to ensure the grain and straw, it is necessary to go first, and hundreds of thousands of people cannot set off in one swren. Instead, they are divided into dozens of units, and they go hand in hand, and they may not know where each other has gone, so they often decide on a stronghold in advance and designate a location for assembly.

For example, if you are preparing to attack Luoyang, so you will decide to assemble here, the vanguard will advance first, and then arrive here, set up camp, and then, one after another, the teams will arrive, mixed with a team of people transporting grain and grass, this process, it will take at least five to ten days, and the army can be assembled, and then it is possible to attack.

All in all, marching and fighting, is by no means child's play, even if there is so much time, not all military horses can arrive at the assembly point on time, some military horses may be lost, some may be delayed along the way, some may lose the news, there is always a situation that may occur, and so on, after all, hundreds of thousands of people, by no means hundreds of thousands of pigs, people are different, everyone has their own ideas, their physical qualities are also different, the only thing that restricts them is only military law, but the use of military law, It's just a deterrent. There are still many things to be desired, after all...... The implementation of military law requires the military attache system from top to bottom to abide by the same standard, and this ...... Obviously, it's too difficult, it's too difficult, and military attachés are also human beings, and they also have likes and dislikes. If you meet someone you hate, you may not have violated the military law, you have to give you a few whips, and if you meet someone you like, even if you violate the military law, you can be exempted. It makes people have a sense of reverence for military orders, so that the entire military horse can be forbidden.

Not only that, because the mighty army needs to be supplied, and everyone has to eat and drink, so food and grass are the most important, even if you want to march quickly, if you go too fast, the supply of food and grass will become a big problem. However, the people responsible for supplying grain and grass are all recruited people, the so-called old, weak, sick and disabled. After all, their daily foot strength is limited, and if your military horses go too fast and leave the people far behind, the result can be imagined.

The process of marching and fighting is the most strictly forbidden to plunder, that is. When you win the war, you can dispose of your spoils at will, and even indulge your subordinates to plunder the people, but in the course of the war, looting is a big taboo. On the one hand, if you loot, you must delay time, a village, you always need dozens of soldiers to rob, but back and forth, even if you can grab a few pigs, thousands of catties of grain, it may not be able to supply these dozen soldiers for a long time, and once so, those people who originally adhered to neutrality are different, anyway, you want to rob, the local nature in order to protect themselves, often have fierce resistance, so, it may bring a lot of unnecessary damage.

All in all, local supply is never feasible, before taking Luoyang, the coalition army is still quite concerned about military discipline, they finally gathered for so long, just waiting for a blow to start attacking Luoyang, but never imagined that Qin Shaoyou's thief army, so quickly, in this short time of assembly, actually came here from Hangu Pass.

This...... It's just a heavenly soldier.

Wei Chenliang didn't understand why this situation happened, in fact, he knew very well in his heart, even if he understood, it was meaningless, and the most important thing now should be to face the battle, and time was running out.

He had no choice but to smile coldly: "Even if the other party is in a hurry to come here, you don't have to worry, they come in a hurry, they must be tired, I will wait for the work, they will not be able to eat and walk." ”

When he said this, he didn't have a lot of confidence in his heart, but it was just to boost the morale of others.

The mighty military horses marched hand in hand, and Qin Shaoyou was in the ranks of the Shence Army.

The army of 90,000 was divided into two roads, one was the 15,000 Shence army, which came directly from the west, and the target was directly aimed at the opponent's camp.

On the other hand, there were as many as 70,000 or 80,000 people, and they quickly occupied the high ground in the form of roundabouts. bridges, ferries, and then Chen soldiers on both wings, forming a outflanking trend.

Qin Shaoyou obviously had a very clear purpose this time, he wanted to completely annihilate this coalition army as quickly as possible.

It's not a rout, it's a total annihilation.

Therefore, he divided his troops and ordered the five military camps to take advantage of the other party's lack of reaction to cut off the opponent's retreat first, and the military horse that really served as the main attack was the Shence Army.

The fifteen thousand divine forces were extremely fast, they were not as Wei Chenliang said, they were tired of running for their lives, and they were obviously full of calm and high morale.

After a few days of hard work, marching hundreds of miles, coming from Hangu Pass, this is obviously an unfinishable task, but Qin Shaoyou has completed it, to some extent, he knew early on that he could do it.

Want to complete, in fact, it is very simple, all of this, thanks to the dense canal system in his territory, over the years, Qin Shaoyou almost did the biggest thing, is to continue to open up the canal, one after another, connecting every county, in this era, any means of transportation, obviously far less convenient than the canal, land march, the same distance, may take a month, but through the canal, it only takes a few days, because the land needs to bypass the mountains and swamps ahead, The official road is not straight, once it rains, the road is muddy, the road is more difficult, and most importantly, the land transportation of grain, not only needs to recruit more people, but also delays a lot of precious time.

However, waterways can avoid all problems.

Nature...... Qin Shaoyou is convinced that if he wants to get the canal, Wei Chenliang must also want to get it, but he is not worried that Wei Chenliang will find out in advance, because anyone understands that if you want to carry 90,000 troops by water, as well as 20,000 or 30,000 people, this obviously needs to take long enough time to prepare, first of all, you need to spend a lot of energy to requisition ships, this alone, if it is for other governments, it may take months or even a year, but Wei Chenliang miscalculated, The bureaucratic system that has almost stretched to the lowest level of the Shence Mansion, although this system is bloated and huge, and the cost is huge, but it is better than having a strong organizational ability, once mobilized, all the ships can be checked through their previous registers, and each ship owner often has a special industry business organization, the people of the business house take the lead in gathering with the government, and the Shence Mansion is willing to come up with a sum of money, then there will be no resistance.

What's more, because of the perfection of the canal system, the entire Henan Province is registered with countless ships, all kinds of boats and cargo ships, large and small tens of thousands, under a command, the nearby ships have gathered, and then, the government along the way immediately dredged the river, temporarily banned other passenger ships and merchant ships from entering the water, and tried their best to protect the military ships of the same way, soon, countless military horses and grain and grass were pulled on the boat, and then one by one the ships went down the water, landing at the nearest ferry, The horses, which had rested on the ship for several days, immediately went ashore and were ready to fight at any time.
