Chapter 275: Arriving in Luoyang
Li Mi nodded, pondered for a while, and asked, "How long will it take for Yu Wenhua to return from Jiangdu?" ”
"Yu culture and support for two months at most, if it is longer, it will definitely change!" Mr. Yin affirmed.
Li Mi's heart moved, it was already the middle of February, and Yang Guang died on the eleventh day of the first month, which means that more than a month has passed, and in less than a month, Yu Wenhua will return north.
"However, we can't retreat without sending a single soldier, otherwise all the heroes in the world will think that we are afraid of Daxing City." Mr. Yin continued.
Li Mi nodded, if Wagang retreated as soon as Daxingcheng sent troops, wouldn't it be a fall in Wagang's majesty.
"We can first send troops to test the Daxing army, if the Daxing army has a false name, then take advantage of the Yu culture and the time before it arrives, defeat the Daxing army in one fell swoop, if the Daxing army is as rumored to be able to fight well, our army can only take the initiative to retreat, Luoyang will not let the Daxing army stay under Luoyang City for a long time. Mr. Yin said.
"Well, what the military advisor said is very true! Just do it according to the plan of the military advisor! Li Mi ordered.
"Yes!"
The generals of Wagang answered.
…………
Xin'an.
Yang Yu was dressed in cotton armor and stood quietly outside the county hall.
"Your Highness!"
Qu Tutong was also wearing cotton armor standing behind Yang Yu, and he looked at the young man in front of him in a complicated manner.
He saw with his own eyes how Yang You stepped into today's position step by step, and he didn't know when Qu Tutong never regarded Yang You as a child again, and every time he played something, he was respectful. He knows how wise Yang Yu is, and how ambitious he is.
When Qu Tutong led 50,000 soldiers and horses to Hedong County, he now clearly remembers how shocked he was when he received the news that Yang Yu, the acting king, suddenly seized power in Daxing City, and that shock is still fresh in his memory, and Qu Tutong did not receive any solicitation from beginning to end, as if it was that his Qu Tutong obeyed and rebelled did not matter at all, this unfathomable attitude made Qu Tutong feel bottomless.
It's not that he hasn't thought of establishing himself as a king, just like Li Yuan, but he doesn't have the slightest certainty of success. Because once he decided to stand on his own feet. I am afraid that few of his soldiers and horses are willing to follow, because the Daxing army's generous salary and pension system to ensure that the family has no worries make all the soldiers return to their hearts.
Even if Qu Tutong succeeded in his rebellion and occupied Hedong City, he Qu Tutong would not be able to benefit from being sandwiched between Li Yuan and Daxing City. Since the rebellion is not possible. Qu Tutong had to give in.
This is the first time he has given in to Yang Yun. However, this is definitely not the last time, Yang Yu's foundation in Guanzhong has been solid, and the Imperial Bank has woven countless interest groups around him. And Yang Yu's personal expedition defeated Li Yuan in one fell swoop and completely recovered the hearts of the military soldiers.
What the soldiers need most is someone who pays them and leads them to victory, and Yang Yu, who has money, food and can win battles, is not the best candidate for them.
Now that Daxing City is in full swing, occupying the land of Bashu in Guanzhong, and has the strength to pacify the world, Qu Tutong has already completely extinguished that little bit of caution.
In Qu Tutong's view, since Daxingcheng is strong and prosperous, he is the highest general in Daxingcheng, and it is not bad to calm the world in the future, be a founding hero, and rank first among military attachés! After all, rebellion is not something that everyone can do.
"General Qu, are the soldiers ready?" Yang Yu asked, interrupting Qu Tutong's thoughts.
"Your Royal Highness, the soldiers have rested for two days, their energy has recovered, and they can fight at any time." Qu Tutong said respectfully.
Yang Yu nodded, turned around and returned to the county hall, and Qu Tutong followed him closely.
"His Royal Highness!"
"General Qu!"
In the hall of the county government, Yao Junsu, Pang Yu, Huo Shiju and Fang Xuanling saluted.
"Excuse me!"
Yang Yu waved his hand and walked to the sand table in the lobby,
Nowadays, the sand table has become a must-have thing in the Daxing army, and its intuitive image makes the generals' decision-making more accurate, and all the generals like to formulate tactics and command the battle in front of the sand table.
"General Pang! I've been out on the road, and I've worked hard! Yang Yu didn't discuss the military situation as soon as he came up, but looked at Pang Yu and said with relief.
Pang Yu was an old man in the prince's period, and he was the first to follow Yang Yu, if it weren't for Yang Guang's order to rescue Luoyang, Yang Yu would still be reluctant to let go! But now Pang Yu is back under Yang Yu's account.
"His Royal Highness the Acting King has tormented the last general, this is what the last general should do!" Pang Yu said excitedly.
Although he is in Xin'an, he has been paying attention to the news of Daxing City, of course, until now Daxing City is no longer what it used to be, with Guanzhong Bashu, it has become the most powerful force, and following Daxing City is of course more than following Luoyang.
Yang Yu nodded, and also encouraged Huo Shiju, and then began to discuss the military situation.
"What is the situation in Luoyang now?" Yang Yu asked.
"Your Highness, now Wagang occupies Kim Yong City, using this as a stronghold, wantonly attacking Luoyang, the situation in Luoyang is not good, but after the arrival of our army, the Luoyang army is greatly boosted and has no worries for the time being, and Wagang has temporarily withdrawn its troops, obviously guarding against us." Pang Yu pointed to the small town next to Luoyang and said that he had stayed in Xin'an County and was most familiar with the situation in Luoyang City.
Yang Yu breathed a sigh of relief, since Luoyang was fine, then things would be easy to do.
"Now that the emperor's grandfather has died, only me and my second brother have survived in the world, but the eastern capital Luoyang is the capital, representing the national fortune of the Great Sui, and it must not be broken by Wagang. Yang Yu is colorful.
"His Royal Highness the Acting King understands the righteousness!" Qu Tutong and others saluted.
"This king, I have decided to go on an expedition tomorrow and prepare to rescue Luoyang!" Yang Yu ordered.
"Yes!" Qu Tutong responded.
"Fang Xuanling!"
"The minister is here!" Fang Xuanling responded.
"After the expedition, immediately prepare the materials to support Luoyang City, and bring it to the rescue of Luoyang City immediately when the army forces back to Wagang." Yang Yu said.
"Obey the order!" Fang Xuanling said.
Yang Yu stood and looked around at everyone: "Your most important task in this battle is to rescue Luoyang, in case of sudden war, in order to facilitate the rescue of Luoyang, I don't understand!" ”
"Understood!" The generals shouted in unison.
Soon, the order was delivered.
On the second day, Xin'an County opened violently, and a large number of Daxing troops rushed out and headed for Luoyang City.
The movements of the Daxing army were immediately detected by the Wagang spies, and soon, Wagang immediately made troop adjustments, part of which was to guard against Luoyang, and the other part was to prepare to meet the Daxing army.
At noon on the third day, 100,000 Daxing troops finally arrived near Luoyang and were stationed in the east of Luoyang City.
Soon, Luoyang City learned that the reinforcements from Daxing City had arrived, and the entire Luoyang City was thunderous and could not be calmed down for a long time. (To be continued......)
