A group of cavalry walked in the heavenly street of Luoyang City.

But seeing that he is a general, red-faced and extremely burly, it is Shan Xiongxin himself. Shan Xiongxin held a horse lance, straddling a green horse, and stood proudly in front.

From Zhuque Street, the most prosperous heavenly street in Luoyang in the past, it is almost like a ghost domain.

On the eaves decorated with danfen on both sides, it has peeled off and dilapidated, and the elm willows planted all over the road are withered, and the trees are bare, and even the bark is gone.

Li Tang besieged the city for three months, Luoyang was exhausted, and the elm leaves and bark were already eaten by the hungry people.

On both sides of the road, there were ragged and unkempt people, who put straw stickers on the heads of their children, or wives and children, and peddled them along the streets. Shan Xiong confidently knew that among them, there were many ministers and ministers, and the children of Wuling in the past, but now they are selling grass and selling children, and a virgin is only worth a few cakes.

I heard a few days ago that even Shang Shulang Lu Junye and Guo Zigao were starving to death, not to mention others.

Shan Xiongxin sighed silently, and then rode his horse straight across the Tianjin Bridge, looking up at the east of the city, the south of the city, and the city were burning with black smoke, and dozens of Tang troops attacked Luoyang City last night, looting and setting fire on the other. Luoyang guard Wang Deren and general Zhao Jiqing led the hungry soldiers, unable to expel them, so they plundered overnight before retreating, and several squares in the south of the city were reduced to ashes.

After crossing the Tianjin Bridge and arriving at Luoyang Palace, the situation was slightly better.

Half a month ago, the iron arrows and boulders of the Tang army attacking the city were still there, but this was Wang Shichong's base camp, and less than 10,000 remnants of the Zheng army were defending the palace of Luoyang Imperial City.

Passing by the suspension bridge, Sergeant Zheng saw Shan Xiongxin put down the suspension bridge at the moment, and his face showed respect. A few days ago, after hearing that Li Shimin sent troops to rescue the tiger prison, Wang Shichong sent Yang Gongqing and Shan Xiongxin to lead the army to fight, and the two defeated the Tang Army Li Yuanji and Qu Tutong, and Shan Xiongxin personally beheaded Lu Junjun, the head of the Tang Army.

At this time, Li Tang surrounded Zheng. The first big victory, although it was in Li Shimin's absence, also made the morale of the defenders in Luoyang City high for a while.

Entering the palace, Shan Xiongxin entered the palace to meet Wang Shichong.

At this moment, Yang Gongqing, the left auxiliary general, Guo Shancai, the right guerrilla general, the left guerrilla general, and Wang Shichong's three cronies are all there. In addition, there is Situ Duanda. Long Xiang general Zhu Cang, squire Xue Deyin and others.

"Meet Your Majesty!"

Wang Shichong stepped forward to help Shan Xiongxin up and said with a smile: "General Shan, you are here." ”

But seeing that Wang Shichong's face was full of red, he looked very important to Shan Xiongxin. But Shan Xiong's confidence secretly sneered, a few days ago, the Zheng army was in an unfavorable situation, and he led the army to defeat and returned, Wang Shichong almost beheaded himself in anger. I haven't looked good for a few days.

And now that he has won, Wang Shichong turned his face like a book, and immediately became courteous to him.

Wang Shichong put his arm around Shan Xiongxin's shoulders and said, "General Shan, it's just in time, I'm about to tell you good news." Zhao's naval army broke the Tang army's naval division in the Yellow River, and Li Shimin was forced to withdraw from the Tiger Pass. ”

Ha ha.

Wang Shichong looked up to the sky and laughed.

Shan Xiongxin was surprised: "Is this serious? Shan Xiongxin couldn't help but suspect that Wang Shichong wanted to encourage his subordinates to hold Luoyang. repeatedly said that the army of Zhao Jun was already coming, and it was on the way.

In order to strengthen the thoughts of his subordinates, Wang Shichong gambled on curses and oaths, etc., and promised a bunch of benefits, only to be cashed out after the Tang army retreated.

After saying this countless times, Shan Xiongxin was numb when he heard it.

Wang Shichong nodded with a smile, and Yang Gongqing said on the side: "It's true, His Royal Highness the Prince." Du Shangshu's secret letters have been transmitted to Luoyang. His Majesty King Zhao, Guo Shiheng's 100,000-strong army, was marching west along the Chenggao Road, and it would arrive in three days. ”

Yang Gongqing said so, Shan Xiongxin was convinced at the moment, he really didn't expect that before the Tang army quickly captured Luoyang, Li Shimin was willing to give up the tiger prison natural risk. It's unbelievable.

"Now is the time for the inside and outside to fight back against Li Tang," said Guo Shancai, the right guerrilla general, "and turn the tide around in this battle." ”

"Fight back against Li Tang? However, our army now has no rice to eat, and Luoyang City is full of hunger. Xue Deyin said gloomily.

"What's that. Cannibal meat! The most chewy skin paste bones. Ha ha. General Zhu Cang laughed after speaking.

Everyone knows that Zhu Cang is notorious, and his subordinates are famous for cannibalism, and only Wang Shichong didn't even want his own reputation in order to fight against Li Tang, so he pulled him under his command.

Wang Shichong said: "What General Zhu said makes sense, how can a soldier fight if he can't eat enough, as long as he defeats Li Tang, everything is worth it, and the kindness of a woman can't be done." ”

"But there are less than 3,000 households in Luoyang City, less than one-tenth of the most, and how many people can be eaten, so I am afraid that the people's hearts will be lost." Xue Deyin couldn't help but speak.

"The hearts of the people? What is the people's heart? Zhu Cang said, "Wealth can be established, understand, as long as the fucking win, whoever dares to talk about it in the world will kill him!" ”

The tiger prison is closed, and the sky is light.

Guo Shiheng, the general of the Zheng army, was in a hurry to urge the army to come out, Wang Xuanying, Du Yan, the eldest grandson An Shi and others were also in a hurry, Luoyang was in danger, even if Guo Shiheng didn't say anything, they would urge Guo Shiheng to send troops.

Guo Shiheng's army of 8,000 was dispatched on the fifth watch, passing through the burned Tiger Prison Pass, and heading straight for Chenggao Road.

Wang Xuanying rode his horse and said to Du Yan with high spirits: "King Zhao is just like this, he is really timid, Li Shimin is now like a lost dog, if he doesn't chase at this time, when will he stay." ”

Du Yan said: "Li Shimin took the initiative to burn the Tiger Prison Pass, I am afraid that the Tang Army has not lost its combat strength." ”

Guo Shiheng laughed and said: "Du Shangshu, you are a scholar who doesn't know, only the Tiger Prison Pass east of Luoyang is a natural danger, and Li Shimin abandoned the natural danger and did not defend it, which means that he is already exhausted in skills." ”

Speaking of this, the eldest grandson An Shi complimented Wang Xuanying and said: "Your Majesty, it is really clever, use Luoyang as bait to attract the Tang army to attack, and finally annihilate the Tang army under the city with the Zhao army in one fell swoop, this is the central flowering strategy." Li Yuan, Li Shimin's father and son made a mistake, it's really ridiculous. ”

Speaking of which, the eldest grandson An Shi and Guo Shiheng both congratulated Wang Xuanying.

At this time, a general of the Zhao army came on horseback, hugged his fist to Wang Xuanying and said: "Prince Xuanying, Your Majesty has something to bring!" ”

Wang Xuan asked in a loud voice, "What does King Zhao have to tell me?" ”

The general said: "Your Majesty Li Shimin will retreat from the army, and he will be the queen of the palace, and the prince will be eager to go, and he will inevitably be ambushed." Please also ask the prince not to leave the former army too far. ”

Wang Xuanying laughed when he heard this: "King Zhao really has a heart, okay, go back and tell King Zhao His Majesty, just say that Gu knows." At that moment, the generals of the Zhao army bowed to Wang Xuanying and retreated.

"Your Highness, King Zhao ......"

Wang Xuanying said: "Don't pay attention to it, this Cheng Gao Dao, he is more familiar with walking alone than anyone else, and he orders to move forward and don't stop." ”
