Hearing of the mutiny in the Yanshi camp and the death of his two sons, a wave of anger broke out in the 50,000 Dongdu Army camp under Luokou Cangcheng, and Huangfu Xiren roared and roared: "I want to break the corpses of Huangfu Wuyi and Chen Pojun into ten thousand pieces!" Feed them to the dogs! ”

Li Mi and Wang Xuanying stared dryly in the tent, for Huangfu Wuyi's rebellion again, they were the same as Huangfu Xiren, they were angry, but if they wanted to break Huangfu Wuyi and Chen Kefu into ten thousand pieces, Li Mi and Wang Xuanying couldn't do it.

Not only could they not do Chen Kefu's corpse pieces, but they even attacked Luokou Cangcheng for two days, and Wang Xuanying and Li Mi, who had no effect at all, already felt that a huge crisis was coming. Originally, Li Mi and Wang Xuanying judged that now that Chen Kefu's identity was impossible, he would not personally risk attacking them.

But I didn't expect that the more impossible things were, the more they happened. Not only did Chen Kefu suddenly kill, but even the emperor who had just surrendered to them surrendered to Chen Kefu in the blink of an eye. In this way, the line of defense they arranged in the Yanshi to block the northern soldiers of Luoyang is gone.

The news of Chen Pojun's arrival soon spread to the rebels under Luokou Cangcheng, and the rebels heard that the 40,000 soldiers and horses of the Yanshi had surrendered to Chen Kefu, and all of them were panicked for a while.

For this reason, on the second day of the first month of May, the rebel camp by the Luoshui River released an astonishing news.

Wang Xuanying inspected the Wang family's elite platoon army and armored cavalry on the Blackstone Plain. A mobilization speech was made to the 150,000 rebels under the city of Luokoucang.

He made no secret of the current tensions, bluntly announcing: "We are about to face the most serious difficulties we have ever faced. The Hebei army is about to counterattack, and the traitors with bad intentions have torn our army apart. Still, I'm confident that we'll win, and our goal of dominating the world won't end with a small setback! Our army is still strong. Our warriors remain loyal, and that's enough! Those wall grasses who have an unstable position and sway from side to side, they are better left, and those who are left behind are strong warriors, and we will be stronger! ”

Although he didn't quite understand that the defection of 40,000 soldiers would make them "stronger", since he said so, it must be right.

Facing hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses under his subordinates. Wang Xuanying, under the joint witness of Li Mi and Huangfu Wuyi, held an enthronement ceremony directly by the Luoshui River. Wang Xuanying wore a set of python robes and purple and gold crowns prepared in a hurry, and under the gaze of more than 100,000 people, he ascended the throne as emperor. The founding of the country was Zheng, and the founding of the country opened the dynasty. Dafeng civil and military officials, and reward the soldiers of the whole army.

Wang Xuanying was the son of Zheng Guo, but he ordained the daughter of the allied emperor Xia Emperor Dou Jiande, who was still far away in Hebei, as the empress, and crowned the Xia Emperor Dou Jiande, who now has only one mountain left, as the king of Xia. Taishi, Marshal of the Northern Route Army.

He also crowned Li Mi as the king of Wei, the marshal of the Western Route Army, and the Taifu. He crowned Huangfu Wuyi as the king of Zhou, the marshal of the Eastern Route Army, and the Taibao. The wife of Du Fuwei, who had just arrived, was crowned as the princess of Huaiyang, and Du Fuwei was crowned as the king of Chu, the marshal of the Southern Route Army, and Situ.

He also crowned his younger brother Wang Xuanshu as the king of Qi, the marshal of the Middle Route Army, and Sikong.

In addition to the marshal of the five roads in the southeast, northwest, and northwest, as well as the queen. Wang Xuanying immediately crowned all the uncles and brothers of the Wang family in the Jianghuai Army as county kings, Li Mi, Dou Jiande, Du Fuwei, Huangfu Wuyi, and Wang Xuanshu, all the generals in the Southeast, Northwest and Northwest Route Army, were crowned as national dukes, and all officers above the rank of lieutenant were crowned from county dukes to county men. All of a sudden, knighthoods flew all over the sky, and official positions were conferred everywhere. Any battalion captain is also knighted. Just one officer commanding about a thousand people. They also have the titles of Tiger Benlang General and Xiaocai General.

In addition to desperately issuing official titles, Wang Xuanying also rewarded the soldiers with a large amount of fields. Those princes and princes are the reward of thousands of acres of land at every turn. Even ordinary soldiers were rewarded with 200 acres of land, which was too much, and for a while, the newly established Zheng court did not even have time to issue the title deed of the ownership of the land, so everyone had to make an oral agreement. Except for those ministers such as the prince and the three princes, who have seals. Those generals and ministers didn't even have official seals, and they directly carved a big seal on wood for each person. …,

Although Wang Xuanying and his Zheng Guo founding were like a child's play. But this child's play. But it was a hard boost to the morale of the rebels. Even because of the establishment of Zheng Guoyi, the upper and lower command systems in the rebel army were finally not so chaotic, and they were finally clearer.

And Wang Xuanying is going to seal officials everywhere. Even the unreliable behavior of making Dou Jiande, the emperor of the Xia Kingdom, his marshal of the Northern Route Army, and the marshal of Chen Guo as the marshal of his own Southern Route Army, made the panicked rebel soldiers feel a lot more calm. How do you look at it, they Zheng Guo has a five-way army, and there are more than 500,000 in total.

The simple-minded officers and soldiers of Zheng Guo raised their spears and spears in unison, and a wall of steel seemed to rise on the ground. The cry was earth-shattering: "Hurray! Long live Your Majesty! Long live our emperor! ”

The emperor's slogans were shouted loud and loud, claiming that he would be stronger and victorious. But these are actually shouted at the soldiers below who are about to run out of food. As for the newly built Zheng Guo upper layer, everyone's hearts are still very clear. If Luokou Cangcheng can't take it, he won't be able to grab food. If you can't take the Tiger Pass, you can't go north to join Dou Jiande's army. If Luoyang City can't take it, it won't be able to determine the situation in the Central Plains and Henan. Now that Chen Pojun has personally led his troops and horses to come, if one is not good, they may defeat the Blackstone Plain again. And if they lose again this time, they will have nowhere to escape.

In the imperial tent of Zheng Guo, Wang Xuan should convene the generals to discuss the matter. Present at the meeting were Li Mi, Wang Xuanshu, Huangfu Xiren, Du Ji, Wang Shiyun, Wang Shishi, Fang Xuanzao, Xu Shiji, Shan Xiongxin, Wang Bodang and other backbone figures. In the face of the current predicament, the generals are sad and at a loss.

"From the very beginning, I was not in favor of attacking Luokoukura Castle. If we can take advantage of the initial surprise and attack Luoyang directly, maybe we have already caught Chen Pojun. "Zheng Guo's empress Dou Hongxian had just arrived in Luokou from Jijun, Hebei, and a few strands of long hair hung down to cover her smooth forehead. This is the third time she has become a queen, and in just a few years, she has married three heroes who have established themselves as emperors in troubled times. After the first two made her queen, they all died very quickly. One of them died directly at her hands, and the other indirectly at her hands. At the moment, this queen doesn't know how long she can do it.

Dou Hongxian had no intention of being Wang Xuanying's queen, and Wang Xuanying had no intention of making Dou Hongsi the queen, he originally wanted to make Shen Luoyan the queen. But his ally Li Mi was against it, and Shen Luoyan was in Xiangyang. At present, Nan Chen is going smoothly, attacking the city and breaking the pond all the way, and has occupied most of the Jianghan River Valley. At this time, Shen Luoyan, the daughter of Shen Faxing, the actual controller of Nanchen, is willing to be her queen or not. In the end, under the persuasion of Li Mi and others, Wang Xuanying had just sent out the envoy, and he first announced that Dou Jiande was the king of Xia and Dou Hongxian was the queen.

Things were childish, but the result was just as Li Mi had guessed. Dou Jiande cut the emperor's title, abdicated and accepted Wang Xuanying's reward, and even let his daughter accept the canonization of Empress Zheng Guo. She asked her daughter to rush to Luokou in a hurry, with only one request, hoping that Wang Xuanying and Li Mi could go north as soon as possible and respond to the army that rescued him to break through and go south.

Du Ji Shan Yunying also knew Dou Honghong's intention to come here, contrary to Dou Hongxian, she came this time in the hope that Zheng Jun could go south. She just arrived in Dake yesterday, and today immediately came the news of the Yanshi Emperor Fu Wuyi's mutiny, and she knew that she had just walked away from the ghost gate, and if she really entered the Yanshi Dongdu Army camp last night, maybe her 10,000 soldiers and horses would also become prisoners of Chen Pojun.

She glanced at her uncle Shan Xiongxin, and said loudly: "At present, Luokou Cangcheng is difficult, and the tiger prison is even more dangerous. Chen Kefu killed him from Luoyang again, and just rebelled against the 40,000 soldiers and horses of Huangfu Wuyi. At the moment we are in a very unfavorable situation, and I think it is no longer appropriate for us to continue to stop here. I suggested that we go south immediately, and now my husband still has 80,000 soldiers and horses in Yingchuan. The southwestern counties of Henan have not yet extended the power of the Hebei Army, and if we retreat to the south, we can reorganize our troops and horses and operate a solid base in the south. Even in addition to seizing the southwestern counties of Henan, we also have the opportunity to go south to recapture the Huainan counties, the base camp of our Huainan army. ”

Li Mi coughed dryly: "It's useless to talk about this now, the battle is here, the queen said that she wants to go north, and the princess says she wants to go south, you say, what should we do next?" ”

Dou Hongxian said lightly: "The plan for a quick battle has gone bankrupt, and the Eastern Capital Army of the Yan Division has also stood on Chen Kefu's side, and we will continue to fight Luokou Cangcheng here, and we will have no chance of winning if we continue to fight." How do we retreat to the south now, it can only be Chen Kefu like a dog chasing the bereaved, and sooner or later it will be difficult to escape. At this time, it is better to fight against the water, and we will go north to join my father and fight the Hebei army. Defeat, of course, goes without saying, but if we win or even win or lose, we can immediately change our fate. ”

Wang Xuanying was silent, Li Mi was also silent, and even Huangfu Xiren and the generals were silent. After a while, Wang Xuanying shook his head first, and Li Mi and Huangfu Xiren also sighed and shook their heads.

"There are now 200,000 Hebei troops gathered on both sides of the Yellow River, and they also occupy the fortresses of Hujiao, Xingyang, Jindi, Liyang and other fortifications. We are now facing Chen Kefu's tens of thousands of soldiers and horses who can't take it, and then turn to the north and jump up in the sea of people from Hebei, what chance do we have? Wang Xuanying, who likes to plan and then act, only calculated in his heart, and immediately disagreed with this extremely risky plan.
