Now, it seems that only saving people matters.

Wei Chenliang knows that he is inseparable from the Wei family, and he can't be forgiven no matter how he can't be saved.

It's just that...... He only smiled bitterly. Don't look at the soldiers and horses in Xuzhou, it seems that there are more than 100,000 people, but after all, it is a 'coalition army' composed of seven or eight towns, and now it has just gathered together, and the various departments are not subordinate to each other, and it seems that the momentum is not small, but smart people know that if they want to coordinate in the center, they are afraid that it will not be easy.

Not only that, but there are also some shortages of grain and grass delivered from various places, and once an attack occurs, it is necessary to have enough people to ensure the delivery of money and grain...... Preparation is also insufficient.

In fact, from the very beginning, Wei Chenliang didn't plan to attack so impatiently, at most, it was just painless harassment, but now Wei Xuanzhen is anxious, and any delay may make the situation worsen to the point of no return, how could Wei Chenliang not know that as long as Hangu Pass falls, this means that from now on, Chang'an will be under Qin Shaoyou's iron hooves. What's even more terrifying is that when the time comes, the princes of the towns who see the direction of the wind will definitely choose to take refuge in Qin Shaoyou, and at that time, if the princes of the towns are scrambling, the first to suffer is the princes of Wei, once these people tear off the last hypocrisy, they will definitely not hesitate to eat them alive, after all, ...... To deal with the imperial court, they still have some worries and fears, but the governors who clean up the towns of Wei's can not only take the opportunity to take a stand, but also take this opportunity to encroach on the territory of the governors of Wei's affairs.

So...... It must be saved, no matter how difficult it is, this soldier will also come out.

Wei Chenliang did not hesitate, he quickly gathered the governors of each town, took out Wei Xuanzhen's letter to everyone to read, and immediately said: "The matter is now. It was already ready to be sent, but fortunately, Qin Shaoyou had done his best to try to capture Hangu Pass, and most of his soldiers and horses were on the front line of Hangu Pass. From here, the mountains and rivers are far away, and there are not many soldiers and horses left in the southern states and counties, and most of them are old and weak, and we wait for hundreds of thousands of people to stop us, but there are more than 10,000 old and weak thieves, and they still need to divide troops to guard various states and counties, and they will not enter the army at this time. When? Wei Gong said in his letter that the life and death of our honor and disgrace are all in this battle, which is very good and good...... Now, whether everyone eats and drinks spicy food, or dies without a place to be buried, it really depends on this battle. If this battle is won, our wealth will last for ten lifetimes. Otherwise...... You and I are both in different places, and the generals of the defeated army have nothing to say when they fall into that situation. ”

He waved his fist, obviously not asking for everyone's opinion, but more like a morale boost before the battle: "So I have to do my best like the thief army." Between the various departments, there must be no suspicion, so that the thief army can take advantage of the opportunity, these hundreds of thousands of military horses, of course, are all transferred from various towns. But it must be one, regardless of each other, the soldiers are gone, they can be recruited again, the money and food are consumed, and they can be requisitioned later, but ...... Once defeated, everything is empty. As for who will cover the left and right wings, who will protect the Chinese army, and who will come to the palace, you will each discuss, the old man will not hesitate to this divine army, they are of course the old man's private soldiers, and the old man is closely related, but as long as they can win, they can break through Zhuzhou County, directly threaten or even capture Luoyang, it is all buried for them, the old man will never frown, most of the people here are the relatives of the old man, and now there are difficulties in the clan, please also ask you, to be able to work together. ”

Wei Chenliang's words were quite angry, especially when he was determined to make his Shenwei Army the vanguard, which finally cheered everyone up.

These people of the Wei family, although they came to the rescue, but it does not mean that they are not selfish, they have already been appointed from the so-called governors appointed by the imperial court, and gradually sharpened into a warlord who dominates one side, and for the warlords, the soldiers and money and food are their own private property, since they are private property, this is their foothold, if a warlord has his own soldiers and money and food, then it is equivalent to losing everything.

So...... Although everyone is the Wei family and has come to help, this does not mean that they are willing to do their best.

This is like, if the Wei family is in trouble, they are willing to work hard, but once some people contribute more and some people contribute less, it is inevitable that some people can't help but lose their balance in their hearts.

Wei Chenliang was happy, he first explained the seriousness of the matter, and then, and then set an example by himself, and everyone was convinced.

An hour later, the general strategy was worked out, the time was in a hurry, and there was no time to make any too detailed plans at the moment, it was nothing more than to divide the troops into three ways, go hand in hand, and then meet together in Xingyang.

That Xingyang is the gateway to Henan Province, and once it is breached, Luoyang is also in sight.

Therefore, nearly 4,000 defenders of the Fifth Army Battalion were stationed there, and as long as they captured it, they could take Luoyang directly.

Early the next morning, the mighty army began to set off, Wei Chenliang was dressed in military uniform, but he looked energetic, he rode a high-headed horse, personally led the front army to lead the first, densely packed tens of thousands of troops, winding like a long snake, there is no end in sight.

This battle is indeed a lot hasty, but no matter what, Wei Chenliang is still quite relaxed in his heart, because he knows very well that the current Qin Shaoyou's main force is all in Hangu Pass, which is far away from here, and he is now going north directly with lightning speed, even if Qin Shaoyou hurriedly asks the squad to come back to rescue, most of them are too late, not to mention, the defenders of Hangu Pass will never let the thief army withdraw easily, so ...... What I am facing is just some stragglers, so I don't have to worry about it.

He reined in his horse and released many scouts, although he knew that the main force of the other party was in Hangu Pass, but he was still a little cautious and did not dare to take it lightly.

Countless scouts, the news that came back has been nothing unusual, and then, the good news from the front came, the forward army and horses took Xingze County, the defenders in the city were only more than 500, seeing that the situation was big, and they could not resist, so they had withdrawn, and then, the left and right flanks also came with good news, everything was ...... It seems that everything is going well, and even Wei Chenliang feels unbelievable.

Seemingly...... That Qin Shaoyou is really determined to gamble, he is in a race against time, he is aiming at Hangu Pass, and he is aiming at Luoyang, right now. It depends on whether Qin Shaoyou breaks through the pass first, or he takes Luoyang first, anyone who takes the lead, the situation will be reversed, Wei Chenliang cheered up and urged the army to continue to advance.

…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

The situation at Hangu Pass. It seems a bit unexpected. Zhang Jin was originally most worried about what Qin Shaoyou had to attack the city, so he was 10,000 careful, but when the mighty Qin Shaoyou army arrived at Guanxia, it seemed that he was not in a hurry to attack the city, but he just set up artillery under his head, bombarding every day, with hundreds of artillery, almost day and night.

At first, Zhang Jin was still worried. But gradually, he got used to the rumbling artillery, so he put his mind at ease, relying on the artillery, it is impossible to break the city easily, under the cover of artillery, there are groups of warriors of the five military battalions holding large shields, pushing carts to rush to the pass. The gunpowder was buried, but Zhang Jin found it in time. Never willing to give them a chance, so several times wanted to rush to the city of the five military camps, but had to retreat, the last round of arrow rain in the pass, because of the condescending, is also quite sharp. And the repeater crossbow of the Shence Army is actually in this situation, and it is difficult to gain the upper hand.

Qin Shaoyou seemed to have no effective means other than constantly using artillery.

But artillery, is it really effective? It's fine if it's against an ordinary city. But in the face of Hangu Pass, he couldn't help but make Zhang Jin sneer, after attacking the city for several days, Qin Shaoyou's nirvana didn't seem to be used, which made Zhang Jin gradually start to feel at ease, thinking that Qin Shaoyou didn't have any nirvana with Ben.

He patrolled back and forth around the wall every day, at first the defenders were still a little worried, but gradually, accustomed to artillery, they slowly stopped panicking, which in Zhang Jin's view, is obviously a good sign, at noon, he was going to drink tea at the city tower, but someone came to report: "General, Duke Wei asked the general to go over to talk." ”

As soon as he heard that Mount Tai was invited, of course he didn't dare to slack off, and rushed over in a hurry, and when he saw Wei Xuanzhen, his eyes lit up when he saw him: "What, how is this city guarded, the old man heard that the artillery roared under the gate, and the soldiers in the city were miserable, right?" ”

Zhang Jin hurriedly said: "At first, it was like this, but then I gradually knew how to dodge, the city wall of this pass is very high, and the artillery that can fall into the pass is a small number after all, and the injuries are fatal, so it is even rarer, this Hangu Pass, although it is not the nemesis of any artillery, but at least, it is enough to make the artillery useless." ”

Wei Xuanzhen seemed to be in a good mood today, he stroked his beard and said, "Really? In this way, the old man is relieved, you see, this city has been attacked for some time, but Qin Shaoyou's only effect, that is, this artillery, but the artillery can't help us, but Qin Shaoyou's killing move, but there is still no movement, now that I think about it, that Qin Shaoyou seems to have nothing to fear, the old man will tell you a good news, Wei Chenliang just passed the book, saying that as early as ten days ago, he led his troops to the north, all the way down several cities, and now has surrounded Xingyang, Xingyang City, there are only thousands of soldiers and horses, Although he is still holding on, Wei Chenliang has suffered a little, but this broken city, I am afraid that it is a matter of time, and he will take Xingyang, and then Luoyang, at that time, it should be Qin Shaoyou who should be frightened, haha...... This Qin Shaoyou is these abilities, but the old man thinks highly of him. ”

Wei Xuanzhen's mood is really good, he was worried for so long at the beginning, he was worried every day, he was really anxious, who knows, this Qin Shaoyou's so-called thing at the bottom of the box, but it has not been seen so far, now Wei Chenliang has copied his back road, he is still attacking the city with artillery, it can be seen that where is this Qin Shaoyou's unique skills, if there is really one, it would have been used a long time ago, his back will be copied, and there is no movement, it seems that it is just pulling the tiger skin.

Zhang Jin couldn't help but be overjoyed, Wei Chenliang was going well, and Hangu Pass attracted most of Qin Shaoyou's people, if Wei Chenliang could take Xingyang, then Luoyang would follow, and when the time came, Qin Shaoyou would really want to cry without tears.

Zhang Jin hurriedly said: "This is all thanks to His Majesty and Niangniang's Hongfu, although Qin Shaoyou is undefeated in a hundred battles, but after all, he is arrogant and accustomed, the so-called arrogant soldiers will be defeated, now, I am afraid that he is also in a dilemma, if he returns to the division to rescue, he can't take Hangu Pass, and he is worried that we will pursue, but if he doesn't save it, Luoyang may have to change hands, Wei Chenliang took Luoyang, Qin Shaoyou is a rootless duckweed, don't worry." ”

Wei Xuanzhen nodded, but did not forget: "Although this is the case, it is still not to be careless, to be cautious, and not to be negligent." ”

Zhang Jin said: "The stakes are very high, how dare the son-in-law derelict his duties, and he will never give that Qin Shaoyou a chance to take advantage of." ”

Wei Xuanzhen glanced at him appreciatively: "In the future, if you win Qin Shaoyou, you will be the first merit, and the old man must go to the book and let the court reward you." ”

As he was talking, someone came in a hurry and said, "Report ...... The military horses under the gate suddenly moved, and more than 100,000 people suddenly retreated by half and went in the direction of Luoyang. ”

As soon as they heard this, Wei Xuanzhen and Zhang Jin couldn't help but glance at each other, and a trace of ecstasy passed through their eyes.

Obviously, Qin Shaoyou should have also received the rumors, I heard that Luoyang may not be guaranteed, how can he continue to spend time here, presumably because of this, he hurriedly wanted to go back to rescue Luoyang. From this point of view, this Qin Shaoyou is really in a mess.

Wei Xuanzhen snorted coldly: "Really? This is to raise troops to rescue, it's really ridiculous, doesn't he understand, his military horse, hundreds of miles away from Wei Chenliang, the mighty army, even if rescued, there is no half a month of effort, I am afraid that even the edge of Luoyang will not be touched, with this time, it is enough for Wei Chenliang to do a lot of things. ”
