Chapter 368: I'll Talk to You About Loyalty, You Talk To Me About Money

On the east side of Nanguan, there are martial arts arenas, mountain temples, wind and clouds, thunderstorms, mountains and rivers altars and other buildings, here is the place where Luoyang attaches Guo, there are many houses in all kinds of streets and alleys, but when Li Zicheng's army comes, these buildings are afraid that they will be destroyed in the war.

There are many displaced people gathered in the city, scattered in the streets and alleys, the weather is cold, many of the victims are freezing and starving to death, and there are endless sellers of children and uncles in the streets and alleys. When they saw their own group of people coming, their expressions were numb.

Wang Dou watched silently, listening to Chen Yongfu's angry scolding and complaining in his ears, he suddenly said: "It's okay to reject and fight for profit, Chen Junmen, but we must beware of their wolf ambitions and do such things as surrendering to the enemy and throwing thieves......

Chen Yongfu was taken aback, glanced around, and said softly: "No, they are so mad......"

Wang Doudao: "Chen Junmen has been in Henan for a long time, and he has worked with Wang Shaoyu and Liu Jianyi and their colleagues, so you should know that they are usually in the school. greedy for ink and food, harsh treatment of soldiers, and the early army of his subordinates was unstable" and these people are as timid as rats, and they are afraid of no battle in the face of thieves. There are many officers and soldiers in various provinces in Henan, but the matter of Luoyang must be guarded against. Chen Yongfu inhaled the cold air, looking incredulous, but Wang Dou knew the reason why Li Zicheng fell into Luoyang in history. Liu Jianyi and Luo Tai surrendered Li Zicheng, "the general soldier Wang Shaoyu's subordinates mutinied and opened the city gate." Otherwise, with the original resistance of the Luoyang army and civilians, King Fu also recruited dead soldiers to fight, no matter how Luoyang is, it will be no problem to hold on for a few months.

Looking at Chen Yongfu's expression, Wang Dou knew that this matter was not trivial, and it was normal for Chen Yongfu not to believe it. Wang Dou just gave him a thorough explanation, Liu Jianyi and others, "He will let his subordinates keep a close watch at night, and Xiao Wall has always been the most hateful."

Soon the group came to Dongguan, which was temporarily garrisoned by Liu Jianyi, and he was also guarding the Changchun Gate in the east of Luoyang City. Wang Dou and others had no intention of entering the Guannai and "crossing the Gorilla River through the Dongguan Dashi Bridge" to the area of Ying'en Temple.

This Dongguan big stone bridge is also known as Huanggong Guangji Bridge, across the Gorilla River, the five-hole stone bridge with a length of 100 meters, it is said that Huang Jin, the eunuch of the Jiajing year, funded the construction, is an important passage to the east into Luoyang City. A short distance north from the Dongguan Big Stone Bridge, you will arrive at Ying'en Temple.

This Ying'en Temple, also known as Dongda Temple, was built by King Fu Zhu Changxun for his biological mother Zheng Guifei. In history, after Li Zicheng conquered Luoyang, "King Fu once fled from King Fu's Mansion to Ying'en Temple to hide", and was later searched out by the peasant army and executed in front of the Zhou Gong Temple.

There are many famous temples in this area of Dongguan, such as Longcheng Zhu Ying, Tongsha Twilight Rain, Le Ma Tingfeng, Sanxian Temple, Jia Yici, Luoshen Temple, Yaowang Temple, Taishan Temple, Ancient Tang Temple, Ying'en Temple, Sanjing Cave, Yunxi Temple, etc., countless.

Wang Dou and Chen Yongfu's army were stationed in Jinggou, ten miles north of Ying'en Temple, in the area of Xu Village, which was already a suburb of Luoyang.

The army swept the counties and counties around Luoyang, and the sentinels also continued to move around Luoyang, which caused panic among the local people, except for a few people, "the people of Xucun and other places have fled into Luoyang City, which is convenient for the Shunxiang army and the forward battalion to be stationed, and there is no need to camp in the field in the cold."

After returning to his camp, in the afternoon of the same day, Wang Dou led the generals to circle around the camp, carefully inspected the surrounding terrain, and went to the White Horse Temple 20 miles away to the east, and visited this Buddhist "ancestral ......" place, but unfortunately the temple was dilapidated, and there was not a single visitor in the surrounding area except for gathering displaced people.

On the morning of the 11th, Wang Yinchang, the prefect of Henan Prefecture, and Kang Mengzhuan, the prefect of Henan Prefecture, really came to the military camp of Shunxiang Army, and they brought some wine and meat to work. Unexpectedly, the leader of the team was Lu Weiqi, the former military secretary who lived in Luoyang City.

This Lu Weiqi is a native of Xin'an County, Henan Prefecture, and Chongzhen served as the secretary of the Nanjing Military Department in his early years, and was dismissed because of his ineffective reluctance. After returning to Luoyang, he set up the "Yiluo Society...... to recruit disciples, wrote books and said, and was quite a prestigious person in Luoyang Jinshen.

In history, Li Zicheng attacked Luoyang, and Lu Weiqi also ran everywhere, waving his flag and shouting for the defense of Luoyang. After the city of Luoyang was broken, Lu Weiqi was killed in the Zhougong Temple of Luoyang City, and the world evaluated him as one of the famous scholars of science in Chongzhen.

After introducing Lu Weiqi and others into the lobby, Chen Yongfu's expression was still excited, and only Wang Dou's face was calm. Obviously, Lu Weiqi mainly came for Wang Dou, and after some greetings, "he vigorously affirmed Wang Dou's loyalty to serve the country, knowing that the thieves were powerful, and he came to Luoyang to help without hesitation, which is really commendable."

Wang Dou said calmly: "As early as the time of Kaifeng, the last general promised Governor Li that since I received his money and grain, I would do what I promised.

However, Lord Lu, Lord Wang, the last general has already arrived in Luoyang, this grain and grass supply, please make up for it as soon as possible, and the soldiers can't fight hungry. Luoyang Township promised a reward of 50,000 taels, please also pay ...... as soon as possible",

Wang Dou negotiated with Li Xianfeng, the governor of Henan, Wang Dou stayed in Henan, and he needed to give 100,000 taels of silver and 20,000 stones of grain and rice. Li Xianfeng had already given 30,000 taels of silver and 10,000 stones of grain and rice. The silver can be slowed down, but this grain and rice cannot be cut off for a day.

Wang Dou is actually in Kaifeng, in Ruzhou, there is still a lot of grain and grass, and after the Ruzhou War, he also harvested a lot. However, Wang Dou had no intention of transporting grain and grass from the two places, he had already laid out in Luo, and the merchants on the East Road bought thousands of stone grain and rice for him, but these materials would not be used unless they were at the juncture.

Anyway, Li Xianfeng owes him a lot, and he also made it clear that after the Shunxiang army arrives in Luoyang, the remaining grain and rice can be transported from Luoyang. Therefore, Wang Dou mentioned this matter when he opened his mouth, and he would not let his soldiers go hungry for a few good words from Lu Weiqi and others.

As early as the time of Ruzhou, in order to let Wang Dou come as soon as possible, the officials of Luoyang Township proposed to give a special reward of 50,000 taels of silver, and he also mentioned it.

Lu Weiqi and Wang Yinchang were a little embarrassed, I talked to you about ideals and loyalty, but you talked to me about money and silver, isn't it vulgar? In the current atmosphere, this is not the right time to talk about this.

Chen Yongfu sat without saying a word, he since Kaifeng sent troops, all the way to Wang Dou with the tacit understanding, Wang Dou received grain and rice, which is equivalent to him receiving grain and rice, because he has eaten Wang Dou all the way, grain and grass is a major event in the army, of course he will not object to Wang Dou's words, and Wang Dou has no worries about talking about grain and grass, he also secretly admires.

Wang Yinchang, the soldier, said: "The general can rest assured, although the Luoyang treasury is empty and money and food are scarce, the official will definitely try his best to save the soldiers from hunger and cold." Recently, this official has asked Lord Lu to see King Fu, hoping that His Royal Highness King Fu can support some grain, grass and silver money to solve the urgent need of Luoyang City......"

Wang Dou said lightly: "There are not only blessed kings in Luoyang City, but also many rich officials and huge families. The city is not only for the blessed king, but also for the people of the township. Supply grain and grass, and reward the soldiers" Everyone needs to contribute, and the soldiers can only kill the thieves if they are full of food and drink. Will there be eggs under the nest? The tragedy of Yongning City cannot be repeated in Luoyang City......"

Lu Weiqi and Wang Yinchang coughed, and the two looked at each other, surprised by Wang Dou's sharp teeth, especially Lu Weiqi, who looked at Wang Dou again and again in surprise. At the same time, there is also some sadness in my heart, in the past, Wang Dou talked to them in this tone, and he would have been beaten with a stick or impeached and punished.

But now it's different from the past, now they don't dare to speak a little more seriously not only to Wang Dou, but even Liu Jianyi and others who are guarding the city, for fear of causing a rebellion, and even in a hurry, they go to join the thieves, then everything will be over.

In everyone's experience, Wang Doujun's horse is strong, and if he gets out of any chaos, the destructive power is also amazing. What's more, they can't afford the consequences of Wang Dou's dissatisfaction and leaving, which means that Luoyang City is difficult to protect. Luoyang City is not guaranteed, and it is equally difficult for them to protect these officials.

Perhaps, this time everyone is going to break some money......

Lu Weiqi had already heard of Wang Dou's reputation, the first battle of Ruzhou truly proved his strength, when he entered the barracks, he also carefully watched Wang Dou's military horses, and it was indeed the division of tigers and wolves. With such an army to assist in the defense of Luoyang, Luoyang will definitely be foolproof.

He said: "General Wang doesn't have to worry about the reward of grain and grass, and the old man should also contact the countryside in the city, and everyone will contribute to defending the city......

He changed the topic and said: "In the battle of Ruzhou, General Wang and General Chen defeated the enemy, and the news arrived, and the soldiers and people of Luoyang were excited. According to General Wang's opinion, what are the chances of winning the city of Luoyang this time when the thieves and soldiers invade Luoyang? Wang Dou said: "The rabble of thieves, although there are 100,000 people, under the thunder blow of our Shunxiang army, there is only the result of ashes, you don't have to worry......"

The strong confidence in Wang Dou's tone made Lu Weiqi and Wang Yinchang elated, "It's good, it's good."

Wang Yinchang even said: "Trapping in a lonely city is a taboo in the art of war, the intention of this official, Deputy General Chen and General Wang have outstanding combat power, why don't you take the initiative to attack, send troops to Yongning, and attack the ......arrogance of thieves."

Wang Dou said: "There is a way that thieves do not gather, only thieves scatter, and now thieves are distributed in Yongning, Yiyang, Xin'an, and Lu's places." If the thieves of Yongning are struck, the remnant will be scattered and scattered in all the countryside and wilderness, and the disaster will increase even more. Therefore, the meaning of the last general is "still wait for the thieves to converge and attack the city, and wait for their horses to be tired" My division will come out again with thunder, and it will definitely destroy Li Chuang's thieves in one drum, leaving no troubles......"

Wang Dou had discussed clearly with the generals of the Shunxiang army, and this time he fought against the Liukou, first using Luoyang Jiancheng to consume the sharpness and strength of the breaking army, and after they were demoralized, he used cavalry to cut off their grain routes, violently interspersed with assaults, attacked their Chinese army camp, and defeated Li Zicheng's old camp and horse team with one drum, so that 100,000 Liukou would definitely collapse.

How can it be like Wang Yinchang said, one place after another, when will it be hit? If the army retreats, will he follow all the way? At most, at the end of the first month, Wang Dou will leave Luoyang, and he will not stay in this place for long.

Wang Yinchang stroked his beard and groaned, in fact, he was unhappy in his heart, and planning a strategy was originally a matter for their civil officials, but this Wang Dou denied his plan and didn't give him any face.

There is still an uncomfortable place in his heart, Wang Dou only roughly proposed the strategy, which is much more clever than him, and there are very few martial artists whose brains are as clear as him, which is also another surprise in Wang Yinchang's heart.
