Li Yan never dreamed that there would be such a major change in the situation, and he was originally arranged as an idle man, and in the shortest possible time, he undertook the most important combat mission of the righteous army. n∈，

After receiving the order of Li Zicheng, the king of Chuang, Li Yan devoted himself to preparations, and he began to arrange a large number of righteous soldiers in the direction of Gongxian, these sergeants pretended to be ordinary businessmen, and searched for news everywhere, and some even went to Gongxian County, which was still controlled by the official army, to spy on intelligence.

Li Yan and Niu Jinxing have the same understanding, thinking that King Chuang does not have to give up attacking Xiangyang City, on the contrary, this is a good opportunity, King Chuang can lead the righteous army to attack Xiangyang City, as for Xiong Wencan, the governor of the five provinces, plans to attack Luoyang City, this is not a big deal, Luoyang is less than a thousand miles away from Xiangyang, even if there is danger, the righteous army can quickly rescue, if the righteous army can take Xiangyang Mansion City at the same time, defeat the official army under Xiong Wencan, it will be a huge victory, From then on, the development of the rebel army will enter a new stage.

Li Yan was even ready to give advice to King Chuang, explaining his thoughts and thoughts, but his thoughts were dissuaded by the red lady.

The red lady didn't use any advanced methods, just told Li Yan that King Chuang may not be so at ease with the reader, the reader can give advice and put forward a lot of good suggestions, but the battle may not be good, Luoyang Mansion City is the base camp of the righteous army, if it suffers an accident, it is not something that King Chuang can bear, in King Chuang's view, the status of Luoyang Mansion City is much more important than Xiangyang Mansion City.

The persuasion of the red lady made Li Yan sober up a lot, and after thinking about it, Li Yan focused his main energy on guarding the city of Luoyang, and as for the matter of making suggestions to King Chuang, he put it aside. In his opinion, if he can concentrate on defeating the official army under Xiong Wencan, the righteous army can still attack Xiangyang Mansion City next.

Because of the preparation for the defense of Luoyang City, Li Yan and the Red Lady had more discussions, and after receiving the order of King Chuang, the two spent most of their time discussing together. Li Yan is responsible for planning, the Red Lady is responsible for the specific implementation, and as for Tuoyangkun, the main responsibility is still responsible for the security of Ruzhou and Runing Mansion.

After this long-term contact, Li Yan felt the affection of the Red Lady, and the guilt for the Tang family in his mind slowly weakened, and Li Yan even made a decision in his heart to wait until he defeated the official army and defended the city of Luoyang Mansion this time, and then married the Red Lady.

Li Yan and the Red Lady have an unusually tacit understanding. This makes Luoyang Mansion City orderly, all things can be arranged in an orderly manner, Li Yan is a person from a person's background, and he is very concerned about the affairs of the Yamen of the prefecture and county, and at the same time arranges the deployment of the guard of Luoyang Mansion City, he has not forgotten to go to the Yamen to supervise government affairs, it can be said that these days are the most stable period of Luoyang Mansion City.

Good times don't last long. No one is good for a thousand days, just when Li Yan is like a fish in water. His trouble still came.

The trouble did not come from Luoyang Mansion City, but from King Li Zicheng.

It is said that after Li Zicheng handed over Luoyang Mansion City to Li Yan and the Red Lady, he didn't have to worry about so many things, even if he was preparing to encircle and suppress or defeat the officials and troops under Xiong Wencan, he didn't need to pay attention to the affairs of Luoyang Mansion City, and waited until Xiong Wencan led the officials and troops to attack. It is enough to lead a large army under his command to surround the official army.

It's a pity that Li Zicheng still has strategists such as Niu Jinxing and Song Xiance under his command.

Niu Jinxing's accurate judgment made Li Zicheng impressed, seeing that the official army under Xiong Wencan's command was about to arrive in Kaifeng Fucheng, which also indicated that the battle was coming, if he won this battle. The development path of the rebel army will be expanded again, and for this reason, Li Zicheng also trusts strategists such as Niu Jinxing and Song Xiance more.

Luoyang Mansion City has become the main battlefield, Niu Jinxing, Song Xiance and others must be unhappy, they tried every means to follow King Chuang to fight, just thinking that they could make meritorious contributions and make their status higher in the rebel army, not to mention surpassing Li Yan, at least not worse than Li Yan, but by mistake, Li Yan actually took on the heavy responsibility again and stuck to Luoyang.

In the eyes of Niu Jinxing and Song Xiance, defeating or even encircling and suppressing the official army is still a task that only the 80,000 army under Li Zicheng can complete, as for Li Yan and the Red Lady stationed in Luoyang Mansion City, it would be good to be able to hold the city, so after the two discussed, they made a suggestion to Li Zicheng, the king of Luoyang, that is, Luoyang Mansion City should shrink and defend, attract the attack of the official army, and do not set up too many defensive positions outside the Luoyang Mansion City, so as to attract the official army to attack the city with all their might.

To put it bluntly, what Niu Jinxing and Song Xiance thought of was to let Li Yangui shrink in Luoyang Mansion City, don't go anywhere, and wait for the attack of the official army, as for the task of exterminating the official army, it was a matter of the 80,000 righteous troops under the command of King Chuang.

Niu Jinxing and the others are also very reasonable, if Li Yan and the Red Lady do too much vigilance and defense outside the city of Luoyang, they will definitely alarm Xiong Wencan, you must know that Xiong Wencan is the governor of the five provinces, and his ability is definitely not ordinary, once the abnormality is discovered, it may slow down the pace of the attack, and the battlefield is too large, which is not conducive to the defeat and extermination of the official army by the righteous army.

There is a more urgent matter, that is, the 80,000 righteous troops under the command of King Chuang are gathered near the city of Nanyang Mansion, and it is impossible to keep it secret for a long time.

Li Zicheng thought for a while, thinking that Niu Jinxing and Song Xiance's suggestion was very reasonable, and he immediately gave an order to Li Yan and the Red Lady, asking the two to lead most of the righteous army and garrison it outside the city of Luoyang.

Li Zicheng didn't think to ask for the opinions of Li Yan, the Red Lady and others, his order actually tied Li Yan's hands and feet, so that Li Yan lost the space to perform.

Of course, Li Zicheng couldn't think of so much at this time.

Li Yan soon received the order.

Li Yan, who was trembling with anger, couldn't bear to reply to King Chuang, according to King Chuang's order, he didn't need to do anything, just stick to the city of Luoyang, and when the official army came to attack, stay in the city to attract the official army to attack the city, as for the next matter, it was the matter of the righteous army under the command of King Chuang.

Li Yan has already arranged enough guards in the direction of Gongxian County and the docks and other places, once he finds clues, he will carry out corresponding actions, but the order of the king, all of which must be revoked, the reason is to attract the official army to attack Luoyang Fucheng, not to alarm the official army.

Although he has not experienced any major battles, Li Yan also understands that a large-scale battle is by no means as simple as it says, and it is necessary to grasp all aspects of intelligence and make corresponding arrangements.

Just when Li Yan was angry, the red lady stood up again to persuade her.

This time, the red lady said very thoroughly, in the righteous army, the order of the king can not be violated, if before the king makes a decision, you can make appropriate suggestions, once the order is issued, it must be implemented to the letter, during this period if you raise too many objections, even a set of face to face behind the back, even if the battle is won, the individual can not be affirmed, on the contrary, will suffer punishment, this is a real battle.

Li Yan had to think that the words of the red lady were reasonable.

After more than half a year by King Chuang's side, Li Yan also found some problems, King Chuang is indeed very brave and has unusual talents, but King Chuang is also very conceited, which is probably the common character of most successful people, King Chuang does not want to see his orders being questioned, and he is not willing to see his majesty challenged.

Li Yan, who was in pain, decided to carry out King Chuang's orders, but in his heart, he had more thoughts, and these things gradually became stagnant in his heart, and there was always a time to erupt.

The sergeants of the Righteous Army in the direction of Gongxian County withdrew, and the sergeants in the direction of the dock also withdrew.

In this process, Li Yan originally wanted to make a certain reservation, but was vetoed by the Red Lady, almost all of the rebels are officers and sergeants loyal to King Chuang, any move by Li Yan will be known by King Chuang, if he can't resolutely implement King Chuang's orders, the result can be imagined.

In desperation, Li Yan could only withdraw all the forces distributed outside.

From this moment on, Li Yan was very depressed, he didn't need to do anything, the Luoyang Mansion City garrisoned by 20,000 righteous troops could not be captured by the official army in a short period of time, and there was no need for any planning to defend the city, Li Yan's main task was to attract the official army to attack Luoyang Mansion City, and there was no need to worry about anything else.

Li Yan's emotions were noticed by the Red Lady, the Red Lady spent more time with Li Yan, telling Li Yan about some interesting things he encountered when he used to walk the rivers and lakes, the Red Lady's narration also attracted Li Yan's attention, Li Yan didn't know much about the things on the rivers and lakes, and it was not a bad thing to be able to hear the Red Lady's story, and to learn many things in society from these stories.

Li Yan's many realizations continue to converge to Li Zicheng through dark lines.

Li Zicheng was still very happy that Li Yan could resolutely carry out the order, he originally thought that a scholar like Li Yan would definitely have a lot of arrogance and would not happily carry out the order, but now it seems that it is unnecessary to worry.

Disappointed are Niu Jinxing and Song Xiance, they know Li Yan better, and think that Li Yan will not be willing to accept the mercy, and will definitely make some other moves, I can't imagine that Li Yan strictly implemented King Chuang's order, could it be that Li Yan's personality has changed dramatically.

In the end, Niu Jinxing and Song Xiance focused their attention on the Red Lady, they didn't pay much attention to the Red Lady, how much ability a woman who walked the rivers and lakes could have, but Li Yan's transformation made them realize that the Red Lady was probably not as simple as it seemed.
