PS: That's it for today, and I'll make it up tomorrow!

"That's it?"

Yang Tong looked at the city in disbelief, Wagang and Daxingcheng tacitly retreated, preparing to go back to their respective homes and find their mothers.

"This ......"

The ministers of Luoyang were also extremely surprised, it stands to reason that the two armies are elite divisions, and if they don't turn the world upside down and divide the winner, how can they retreat.

The generals of Luoyang originally planned to take advantage of the battle between the two armies to attack Wagang, but now there is no chance at all!

"In my opinion, Daxing City is only nominally under the banner of rescuing Luoyang, but in fact, it is not willing to lose troops at all." Duan Da was not angry.

Yang Tong's face was ugly, and he could also see that Daxingcheng had no intention of fighting to the death for Luoyang.

The ministers of Luoyang nodded one after another, and began to speak out against Daxing City's inability to work.

But he didn't realize how ridiculous his behavior was, since Wagang occupied Luokoucang and Pei Renji surrendered to Li Mi, Yang Tong and the Luoyang ministers have been asking Yang Guang for help, so much so that the Manchu officials in Jiangdu thought that Luoyang was making a big fuss.

It can be said that Luoyang is a bottomless pit, and the reason why it has been able to support until now is because there has been a steady stream of reinforcements to fill this deep pit.

Luoyang is the imperial capital, and the ministers of Luoyang also have a superior mentality, and now they suddenly find that this batch of reinforcements is constantly commanding, and they are unwilling to die for Luoyang, and their hearts are suddenly unbalanced.

"Perhaps, His Royal Highness the Acting King thinks that the most important task is to rescue Luoyang, so there is no pursuit, and His Royal Highness the King of Yue thinks about the benefits. Wagang retreated, doesn't that mean that the siege of Luoyang has been lifted. Huangfu Wuyi defended slightly.

The ministers of Luoyang thought that the days of the siege of Luoyang were coming to an end, so their faces eased slightly.

"Your Highness, please see, His Royal Highness has sent a messenger!" Duan Da pointed to the city and said.

Yang Tong looked sideways and saw the soldiers of the Daxing Army under the city waving the banner of Daxing City, crossing the trench and coming towards the west city gate.

"Put down the hanging basket! Pull him up! Yang Tong commanded.

Wagang besieged Luoyang for a long time, in order to ensure safety, the four city gates have already been blocked, and it is impossible to open the city gates in a short time. This is the only way to get in and out of Luoyang City.

Immediately, a hanging basket was lowered from the Luoyang city wall. The Daxing soldiers cooperated and sat on the hanging basket and were pulled up the Luoyang city wall.

After a simple verification of his identity and confirmation of accuracy, the soldier was brought to the Luoyang Qunchen.

At this time, Luoyang Qunchen found that the soldier's armor was full of scratches. Apparently just after a battle under the city. The smell of blood on his body has not yet dissipated.

"See His Royal Highness King Yue. Ladies and gentlemen! "The soldiers of Daxing saluted, neither humble nor arrogant.

"This king is the king of Yue, submit the letter of the third brother!" Yang Tong said.

"Uh......" The soldier glanced at Yang Tong cautiously. embarrassed and said: "His Royal Highness King Qiyue, His Royal Highness the Acting King has an order to let the villain hand over the letter to Lord Tian Xiutian." ”

Yang Tong was embarrassed for a while, and then remembered that everything in Daxing City in Luoyang was handed over to Tian Xiu to deal with.

The ministers of Luoyang were also dissatisfied, but because the 100,000 troops of the Daxing Army had just fought for Luoyang, it was not easy to say anything in person.

"Invite Shoda-sama!" Duan Da cleared the siege.

After a while, Tian Xiu arrived.

"This official is Tian Xiu, the head of the household department!" Tian Xiu said with a solemn face.

Although the ministers of Luoyang of the Manchu Dynasty were here, it was impossible for Tian Xiu to fake, but this soldier still meticulously checked Tian Xiu's official seal, and after confirming Tian Xiu's identity, he took out a letter from a secret button in the armor and handed it to Tian Xiu.

Tian Xiu did not shy away from tearing up the letter in front of the ministers in Luoyang and read it carefully.

In fact, Tian Xiu was reading the letter carefully on the surface, but Yu Guang quietly observed the reaction of the ministers in Luoyang.

Seeing that the eyes of all the ministers in Luoyang were all focused on him, Tian Xiu's vanity skyrocketed suddenly, his small head of the Ministry of Industry was only an official position the size of a sesame, but because he was the plenipotentiary representative of Daxing City in Luoyang, he was usually a minister at the level of Shangshu and polite when he saw him.

At this moment, it made him face up in front of His Royal Highness King Yue and the hundred officials of Luoyang, and this experience was probably the most glorious moment of his life.

Of course, Tian Xiu didn't dare to let King Yue wait too long, read the letter quickly, and raised his head.

"What? What did the third brother say in the letter. Yang Tong asked eagerly.

Tian Xiu said: "This time, His Royal Highness the Acting King was so anxious that he personally led an army of 100,000 to rescue Luoyang, and also brought a large number of weapons and armor. ”

"Where are you now?"

"How many?"

"When will it arrive?"

………………

The ministers of Luoyang asked eagerly, the scene was a little chaotic in an instant, now Luoyang has suffered two fiascos, the soldiers have lost their armor, and the grain and grass have been lost.

"Now these materials have been transported to Xin'an County, a total of 10,000 pairs of armor, 30,000 weapons, 3,000 horses, 2,000 bows and crossbows, 200,000 arrows, in addition, His Royal Highness King Yue can also spend 100,000 yuan from the Luoyang branch of the Imperial Bank as a military salary."

Every time Tian Xiu said something, the smiles on the faces of the ministers in Luoyang increased a point, and they were even more happy to hear that they could still spend 100,000 yuan as a military salary.

"Good!" Yang Tong said excitedly.

Although Daxing City had been providing continuous assistance before, it was not as much as this time, so comprehensive, and suddenly hearing that so many materials had arrived, Yang Tong was of course happy in his heart.

"His Royal Highness the Acting King really values love and righteousness, and righteousness is thin and cloudy."

"His Royal Highness the Acting King takes care of the overall situation, and he is really the mainstay of the empire."

………………

All of a sudden, the Luoyang ministers were constantly sycophant,

"I wonder if His Royal Highness the Acting King mentioned when these baggage will be delivered?" Huangfu Wuyi asked eagerly,

Now Luoyang City is short of weapons and materials, and these materials are really urgently needed.

Yang Tong also looked at Tian Xiu expectantly.

Tian Xiu did not disappoint them, and said cheerfully: "Now these aids have been shipped into trucks. It will arrive early tomorrow morning. ”

The faces of everyone in Luoyang were ecstatic.

"But ......," Tian Xiu paused.

The faces of the ministers froze with joy.

"But what?" Yang Tong asked worriedly.

"But it's not just these burdens that need to be transported into Luoyang City, there are also ......."

The ministers of Luoyang had solemn faces, and secretly guessed in their hearts whether the Daxing army still wanted to enter Luoyang City! What should I do?

If the Daxing army is not allowed to enter Luoyang City, I am afraid that these aids will be gone, and if the Daxing army is allowed to enter Luoyang City, then the Daxing army will be able to easily control Luoyang City.

Yang Tong and the ministers of Luoyang glanced at each other, and they were extremely embarrassed.

"There are also some merchants who want to transport a little bit of material into Luoyang." Tian Xiu said with some embarrassment.

"Merchant?"

Luoyang Qunchen exclaimed, his face was wonderful.

"Nowadays, Luoyang City is short of materials and prices are soaring. Let the goods of Daxing City enter Luoyang. Prices are falling, which is also good for stabilizing Luoyang, which is also considered non-governmental assistance. Tian Xiu explained.

"I see!" Yang Tong secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and waved his big hand: "No matter how many merchants there are." The king is all right. ”

Yang Tong's words came out. All the ministers in Luoyang had no objections. After all, Daxingcheng has assisted Luoyang with so many materials, and it is not an exaggeration to put forward such a condition, but they don't know how much material there is in the little bit that Dao Dao Tian Xiu said.

They simply think that control is just an occupation by force. didn't realize that Daxingcheng silently controlled Luoyang City in a new way, and this order completely made Luoyang an economic vassal of Daxingcheng.

Nothing happened overnight.

As soon as the day dawned, Daxingcheng and Luoyang scouts came out in all directions, closely monitoring every move of the Wagang army.

It seems that Wagang has already known that it is impossible to prevent Daxing City from rescuing Luoyang, and has reluctantly given up, retreating to Kim Yong City and never coming out again, closing the city to defend itself.

"Boom!"

Luoyang City, which has been closed for more than two months, finally opened the west gate.

"Drive!"

The four-wheeled carriage galloped on the brick road, and did not stop at all when it reached the foot of Luoyang City, and along the passage filled in by the engineers, it crossed five trenches in a row, and galloped all the way into Luoyang City.

From morning to afternoon, it took nearly a day, 10,000 pairs of armor, 30,000 weapons, 3,000 horses, 2,000 bows and crossbows, and 200,000 arrows to finally be transported safely to Luoyang City.

Stroking the weapons and armor that were well maintained with grease, and the mountains of arrows, as well as the three thousand strong war horses, the generals of Luoyang were very excited,

30,000 weapons can form 30,000 recruits, 3,000 horses can form 3,000 cavalry, and 2,000 crossbows can train archers.

"Someone, send these weapons down." Huangfu Wuyi said.

"Yes!"

Immediately, a soldier rejoiced in the carrying of the weapons, and along with the weapons they were paid the arrears.

The Luoyang army had already been in arrears with the soldiers' salaries for a long time, and after receiving the support of Daxingcheng, they immediately withdrew 100,000 yuan from the branch of the Imperial Bank and collected 50,000 yuan from the government treasury.

The 150,000 yuan of silver was paid, and the military spirit of the Luoyang soldiers settled down.

At dinner, the soldiers sat together in groups, because the siege of Luoyang had been lifted today, Luoyang pulled a large amount of grain from Hanjiacang, and the soldiers could let go of eating for dinner.

"I heard that most of the money this time is from Daxing City?" A skinny soldier put down the third bowl of rice, burped, returned to the crowd, and whispered.

"What's strange about this, Daxing City is much stronger than Luoyang now, the entire Guanzhong belongs to Daxing Chengguan, and we only have one lonely city left in Luoyang, even if we have some foundations, we are also empty." A team was putting down their rice bowls, shaking their heads and sighing.

"Team Zheng, I heard that the soldiers in Daxing City not only have high salaries, but also can eat meat every day?" The soldier looked at the meal that was not oily at all and said enviously.

"This is true, Daxingcheng will make meat into canned meat, which can be stored for two months and will not be bad, Daxingcheng has also brought some before, and the team has been fortunate enough to eat it at the captain's house, that kind of deliciousness! Now that I think about it, we eat pig food. The team looked at the food in their hands with disgust.

"That is, maybe the Daxing army outside the city is eating canned meat, and we are eating this here?" Another Luoyang soldier said.

However, he said it casually, but he didn't know that he was right, the food treatment of the soldiers in Daxingcheng was extremely high during the expedition, and canned meat was indispensable every day.

"Wouldn't it be nice if we also returned to Daxing City?" The skinny soldier sighed.

The team bowed his head and said mysteriously: "Don't think about it, now that the emperor is dead, King Dai and King Yue both want to be emperors." Luoyang and Daxingcheng have a good relationship on the surface, but they are actually guarding against each other. ”

This kind of royal gossip made these ordinary soldiers excited, and they threw their heads over one after another.

"Who do you think can be emperor?"

"Of course, His Royal Highness is acting for the king, with money, food and soldiers."

"I think it's His Royal Highness the King of Yue, Luoyang is the imperial capital, and the King of Yue is staying in Luoyang, so it's logical to ascend the throne and claim the emperor."

………………

The soldiers just speculated, a little louder, and then they were dispersed by the captain, and they also turned a deaf ear to this phenomenon, after all, there are many things, and they can't control it.

After Daxingcheng delivered the weapons and armor to Luoyang, it was Luoyang's turn to fulfill his promise.

"One hundred!"

Huangfu Wuyi's face twitched, and he looked at the quota for entering Luoyang City handed over by Tian Xiu.

According to the agreement between Daxing City and Luoyang City, a merchant can pull the goods of a hundred wagons, and a hundred merchants are not 10,000 wagons of goods.

Once the goods in Daxing City enter Luoyang City, the price will be doubled, Rao is so, this price is already good and cheap compared with the price in Luoyang City, once the highest price of rice in Luoyang reached 3,000 yuan per bucket.

Once these high-quality and low-cost Daxing goods enter Luoyang City, the citizens of Luoyang, who have long been unbearable to Luoyang's high prices, will definitely rush to buy and hoard.

At that time, a lot of wealth had not fallen into the hands of the merchants of Daxing City, this was the rhythm of emptying Luoyang! Huangfu Wuyi lamented.

He finally understood what Tian Xiu said when he entered Luoyang City, and he was embarrassed for something.

Seeing that Huangfu Wuyi was showing signs of madness, Tian Xiu hurriedly said: "General, the more materials in Daxing City enter Luoyang, the more stable prices will be, and Luoyang City will be more stable at this time, which is conducive to the general to defend the city!" ”

Huangfu Wuyi was silent.

Tian Xiu gritted his teeth and said: "Since these merchants have made money, how about this official let these merchants transport more grain and let them give porridge to the poor?" ”

Prices in Luoyang City are skyrocketing, and the poor people cannot afford to buy food, so if these merchants give porridge to help these poor people, it will benefit Luoyang City a lot.

Huangfu Wuyi's face softened slightly, and he nodded helplessly.

Day 2.

Luoyang City is open again,

A large number of four-wheeled carriages entered Luoyang City again, and all the Luoyang soldiers were stunned when they looked at the four-wheeled carriages that were as full as possible.

These merchants spent a lot of money to get a place to enter Luoyang City, but each person could only have a limit of 100 carriages, in order to be able to pull more goods into Luoyang City, these merchants went to great lengths to load the carriages.

Heavy goods are underneath, large and light goods are piled on top, and the weighing of each carriage has reached its limit, and the space has been used to the fullest.

Watching the horse-drawn carriages like small mountains and bags enter Luoyang City, everyone admired these merchants. (To be continued......)
