Chapter 152: Don't take it for nothing
After making the decision to open the city gate and surrender, Liu Yunzhang's whole person collapsed, he closed the door to thank guests, and did not see anyone, he knew the consequences of doing so, and the security in Luoyang City was entrusted to other officials.
Because Liu Yunzhang made the decision to open the city gate and surrender, most of the people were relieved, they knew very well that their own interests could be preserved for the time being, at least the Huangchao who entered Luoyang City peacefully, and there would be no chaos in a short time, and the ultimate goal of Huangchao was the capital, it was impossible to be in Luoyang City for a long time, once Huangchao occupied the eastern capital Luoyang, the next most important task was to take Tongguan, and taking Tongguan meant that Huangchao could take the capital.
There are also officials who are loyal to the royal family, and they openly curse Liu Yunzhang without any scruples, but such a voice is very weak and cannot become a climate.
The sergeant of the Shence Army who retreated to Luoyang City is honest for the time being, after all, after suffering such a big defeat, if he is arrogant in Luoyang City, he may be taught a hard lesson by everyone, even if he is the general of the Shence Army, he also bows his head and asks all the sergeants not to step out of the temporary residence, otherwise they will be punished by military law.
The entire city of Luoyang is shrouded in a haze.
Those businessmen who can keep their wealth can't be completely assured, if Huang Chao suddenly changes his face, they have no choice but to take out the wealth of their families, begging to be able to save their lives, leaving a small amount of wealth, as for the officials who can keep their lives, they can't be in a good mood, after all, from now on, they will be burdened with stains that can never be erased.
The iron-blooded army sneaked up on the army led by Shang Rang Zhao Zhang late at night, and the city of Luoyang did not know the situation, after all, the camp was still five miles away from Luoyang City, and the soldiers guarding the city gate were already under the command of Shang Rang, and the soldiers in Luoyang City had long been hiding in the city, and they didn't dare to come out, but the huge shouting and killing sound was still a little shocking.
After dawn, the people in Luoyang City talked a lot, and some people faintly heard the shouting of killing, but it was not very exact, and they did not know what the situation was.
Qin Erhei led five hundred soldiers and came to the outside of Luoyang City.
The sergeants guarding the gate of Luoyang City were easily killed by them.
After taking the city gate, Qin Erhei led the sergeants straight into Luoyang.
This is Qin Erhei's first time to Luoyang City, many sergeants rode war horses, galloping in the city, and the people around looked at these officers and soldiers in military uniforms, dumbfounded, and didn't know what the situation was.
Qin Erhei and his entourage, under the leadership of the guide, came directly to the yamen of the left-behind mansion.
An official had already greeted him, and the official was also confused, looking at the sergeant in front of him, not knowing what the situation was.
"A certain was ordered by Li Rupei, the king of Yi and the envoy of Shannan Xidao Jiedu, to see Liu Yunzhang, who stayed in the eastern capital and was stationed outside the city, and the liukou under the command of Huang Chao stationed outside the city has been defeated by the iron-blooded army, and Luoyang City is temporarily safe......"
The pale-faced official looked at Qin Erhei and was speechless for a while, he thought it was a dream.
Qin Erhei was a little impatient, raised his voice and spoke again, at this time the official understood, and hurriedly asked Qin Erhei and others to wait at the gate of the mansion, and he immediately went in to report.
In less than a quarter of an hour, Liu Yunzhang, who stumbled, came out.
After seeing Qin Erhei and the others. Liu Yunzhang's old tears are longitudinal.
"A certain is Liu Yunzhang who stayed in the eastern capital, thank the prince for sending the iron-blooded army to rescue the eastern capital Luoyang, otherwise he would have become a sinner through the ages, thank the prince for ......"
Looking at Liu Yunzhang, who was a little incoherent, Qin Erhei was not good at losing his temper, he waited for nearly a quarter of an hour, he was already a little impatient, after entering Luoyang City, his feeling was not very good, the huge city, he couldn't feel a little angry, and he was dejected when he saw anyone, such an atmosphere, not to mention that resisting Huangchao was more than 100,000 troops, even any slightly stronger army could easily take Luoyang City.
Entering the yamen of the left-behind mansion, I had just sat down in the wing, and before I had time to take a sip of hot tea, someone soon entered the wing.
Coming to the wing room were several generals of the Shence Army.
Qin Erhei didn't even look at them, he knew the combat effectiveness of the Shence Army, and he was defeated by the army under Shang Rang.
Several generals were a little unhappy when they saw Qin Erhei's attitude, after all, their identities were not ordinary.
After everyone sat down, Qin Erhei spoke slowly.
"Last night, the prince led the iron-blooded army, attacked the camp of Shang Rang Zhao Zhang, killed more than 20,000 Liukou, captured more than 10,000 people, killed Zhao Zhang, and escaped less than 10,000 Liukou, but the loss of the iron-blooded army is also quite large, the prince said, the army led by Shang Rang is just the vanguard of Huang Chao, and the more than 100,000 troops under Huang Chao will definitely go out after learning the news, and the Iron Blood Army will encounter greater pressure at that time, so the prince sent a certain to Luoyang City, see you, and put forward some requirements."
After Qin Erhei finished speaking, the room was silent, no one spoke, everyone was shocked, they couldn't imagine how strong the Iron Blood Army was, in just one night, more than 40,000 people were wiped out, and Zhao Zhang was killed, which sounded a little unreal.
Even Liu Yunzhang didn't speak immediately.
Qin Erhei was a little dissatisfied.
"The garrison of the Iron Blood Army, only five miles away from here, if you want to see the situation on the battlefield, please discuss the matter, follow a certain to see, the corpse of the beheaded rogue, has not had time to be buried, the captured rogue, temporarily imprisoned in one place, the meaning of the prince, after negotiating all the matters, please Liu Gong send a sergeant to escort these captives to Luoyang City to watch, there can be no accidents."
Hearing Qin Erhei say this, Liu Yunzhang immediately spoke.
"The prince commanded, and his subordinates must do it, may I ask the prince what he wants."
"The Iron Blood Army lost some grain and grass, war horses, armor and weapons, etc., please Liu Gong to subsidize it, in addition, Liu Gong also asked Liu Gong to send some sergeants to assist the Iron Blood Army to fight against the Huangchao army, the Iron Blood Army came from afar, and it took three days to travel thousands of miles, and it was too late to reconnoiter the surrounding terrain and landforms, and it was necessary to get Liu Gong's assistance."
"It's easy to say, it's easy to say, the prince's request, his subordinates will definitely do it."
"The prince said, within today, these things must be completed, Huangchao's army should be outside Luoyang City tomorrow, if the supplies and personnel cannot be in place, the prince is not fully sure, Luoyang City will still be dangerous at that time."
"Handle it now, handle it now."
Luoyang City instantly became lively, and the news spread as quickly as possible, it turned out that the Iron Blood Army rushed thousands of miles to support Luoyang, and achieved a major victory, and actually killed tens of thousands of Liukou overnight.
The news spread more and more, and later it was said that Li Rupei, the king of Yi, led the iron-blooded army to descend from the sky, and with a wave of his hand, he killed more than 100,000 rogues, and Luoyang City was completely safe.
Countless situations went to the outside of the yamen of the left-behind mansion to watch, and some of the sergeants brought by Qin Erhei did not go in and waited outside the yamen, and these people became the focus of everyone's attention.
As for the generals of the Shence Army, after hearing Qin Erhei say this, they clamped their tails and didn't dare to say a word, the iron-blooded army was so brave, if they offended the envoy of this prince, the envoy would be angry, maybe the hundreds of people they brought would be able to completely wipe out the Shence army in the city.
The material resources in the treasury are constantly being transported.
Even the generals of the Shence Army also sacrificed the horses and carriages in the camp, after all, they still have to rely on the Iron Blood Army to fight against the army of Huangchao, some big businessmen in Luoyang City, also learned the news, many businessmen rushed over, asked to see the messenger sent by the prince, under Liu Yunzhang's introduction, several of the largest businessmen were allowed to follow to the temporary camp of the Iron Blood Army to see.
These businessmen also understood things, and immediately took out a lot of gold and silver, loaded the truck, and waited at the yamen of the left-behind mansion, ready to set off with everyone to meet the Iron Army.
Which people will follow to the camp of the Iron Blood Army, this also needs to be discussed by Qin Erhei and Liu Yunzhang, after all, when you arrive at the camp, you can see the prince, but not all people of three religions and nine streams can go.
Liu Yunzhang put the shelf to the lowest, everything is to consult Qin Erhei's opinion, and Qin Erhei's consent must be obtained, and in this process, Liu Yunzhang took the initiative to suggest that there is an army of about 10,000 people formed in the city, which can follow the iron-blooded army to conquer the army of Huangchao, this team still has a certain combat effectiveness, such a good thing, of course Qin Erhei will not refuse, but Qin Erhei also took into account the needs of Luoyang City, and proposed that 5,000 people follow it, after all, there are more than 10,000 prisoners in the city, It is also necessary to maintain order, and it is important to know that during the great war, the city is the most prone to riots.
Qin Erhei's attitude made Liu Yunzhang grateful.
Two hours later, everything was ready, and the brigade was about to set out, a team of more than 10,000 people, of whom 5,000 were responsible for escorting the prisoners.
It was close to noon, Liu Yunzhang was about to arrange a banquet, but Qin Erhei refused, the time was too tight, and there were still many things to do, after all, Huangchao's army was about to arrive, and a fierce battle was still waiting for the soldiers of the iron-blooded army.
The distance of five miles is not far, and everyone is full of energy, anxious to see the situation on the battlefield, so the speed of everyone is very fast, the mighty carriage dragged grain, grass, gold, silver, jewelry, armor and other materials, thousands of horses also followed the team, towards the outside of Luoyang City.
There were a lot of people along the way, and they also wanted to see what the situation was, Liu Yunzhang was ready to stop these people, but Qin Erhei did not agree, he felt that the people should take a good look, so that the reputation of the prince could be spread through these people.
Qin Erhei, Liu Yunzhang and others walked at the front of the team.
An hour later, Liu Yunzhang and others saw the neat and solemn teams on both sides of the official road.
The crowd immediately fell silent.
