In the eleventh year of Chongzhen, on the 17th day of the 11th month of the lunar calendar, outside the city of Luoyang, an army of officers and soldiers came to the city, and Zhu Changxun, the king of Fu, stood on the tower of the city gate, looking at the official army in front of him anxiously.

"Lord Wang, outside Luoyang City is a plain area, which is not conducive to defense, this few thousand people, it is impossible to fight the rebel army head-on, it is better to let the last general enter the city to assist in defense. Otherwise, once Li Zicheng launches an attack, if we are killed in battle, it will be even more difficult for you to defend this Luoyang City. ”

The leader of the city is Wang Shaoyu, the chief soldier of Henan, after shouting, Liu Jianyi, the deputy general on his side, echoed and said: "Yes, Lord Wang, my general is right, the army entering the city can increase the city defense force of Luoyang City, as long as the city is defended, you can delay more time and wait for reinforcements." Lord Wang, you can't hesitate any longer, the chaotic army is gathering more and more, and if it drags on, there will be no chance. ”

Zhu Changxun still didn't say anything, did not let Wang Shaoyu's troops enter the city, seeing this situation, Wang Shaoyu's face was shocked, a little impatient, another deputy general Luo Tai immediately shouted: "Lord, you can rest assured, the last general and General Wang and others have no two hearts, it is not a chaotic army disguised, but a real imperial army, dedicated to coming to help." ”

Hearing this, everyone's reactions were different, Fu Wang Zhu Changxun was even more uneasy, the whole person became more and more restless, and his mind was restless, but the chief soldier Wang Shaoyu showed a hint of abruptness, and his momentum suddenly flourished and became stronger.

"Lord Wang, the last general led the army to run thousands of miles and came to support, his subordinates were already exhausted, sleepy and tired, if they knew that they could not enter the city to repair and replenish food and grass, and they would always face the danger of worrying about their lives, and they would be attacked by the chaotic army, the last general would not dare to guarantee that they would not do anything out of the ordinary and force their way into the city."

As soon as these words came out, it was like an exciting elixir, which was encouraged and hinted, and someone immediately responded loudly.

"Anyway, it's a death on the left and right, it's better to go into the city and rest and make a full ghost, it's worth it."

"That's it, that's it, all the way to the support, it's so unpopular, the food is often in arrears, even if it's such a critical period, it's about to fight with the rebel army, and it is possible to lose a small life at any time, and if we don't have enough to eat and rest well, then we have to go into the city, whoever stops us, we will be in a hurry!"

The left and right wings shouted the same or similar voices, the shouting became louder and louder, and the atmosphere suddenly became tense, but Wang Shaoyu was silent with a smile, looking like a picker, as if he had nothing to do with himself, looking at King Fu, waiting for the other party's response.

At this time, Wang Yinchang, the deputy envoy of the military garrison next to Zhu Changxun, the king of Fu, hurriedly walked up, his face was full of anxiety, and he said in a low voice: "Lord Wang, let's hurry up and let General Wang and them enter the city, right?" The rebel army is less than ten miles away from Luoyang City, and according to the report, the rebel army has hundreds of thousands of people, and with only such a small number of troops in the city, it will not be able to hold it for a few days. ”

The prefect Feng Yijun followed closely and also persuaded: "Yes, Lord Wang, Wang Bingbei is right, Luoyang City is empty of troops and urgently needs to replenish its troops, so it is a wise choice to let General Wang and them enter the city." Moreover, once something similar to a mutiny happens to General Wang and them, and the rebel army has not yet hit, our own people will start to fight. ”

"But...... But ....."

Zhu Changxun swallowed for a long time, and did not say a decent word, which made the surrounding people more anxious, and Zhang Zhengxue, the magistrate of the county, walked up, saw the heart of King Fu, and suggested: "Lord Wang, if you are still not at ease, you can let General Wang's Chinese army come in, and leave his left and right wings stationed in Dongguan." ”

"This is very good, Lord Wang, in this case, even if Wang Zongbing really has any problems, only let the Chinese army enter the city, but only a thousand people, as long as they send people to pay close attention to them, and do not let them guard the key places of the city gate, and guard the corners of the city wall, there will be no problem." Prefect Feng Yijun's eyes lit up and hurriedly added.

At this time, Bai Shangwen, the general judge, even reminded: "And Lord Wang, the people who made noise just now are mostly deployed on the left and right flanks of General Wang's soldiers, and even if there is a problem, it is also the left forward troops and the right forward troops." ”

Fu King Zhu Changxun was shaken, his heart was a little relieved, and he did not respond to everyone, but shouted to Wang Shaoyu below: "General soldier Wang, you can enter the city, but you must agree to one condition to enter the city to this king." Otherwise, nothing is left to say! ”

Wang Shaoyu was overjoyed, quite proud, and his attitude slowed down a little: "Lord, what conditions?" As long as the brothers can go into the city to repair and rest, the last general is willing to agree to any conditions. ”

"The conditions are very simple, leave the left and right wings outside the city, and the Chinese army can enter the city."

Hearing King Fu's straightforward answer, the Chu people on the city wall secretly said that it was not good, and the prefect Feng Yijun immediately reacted, had a countermeasure, and hurriedly answered: "General Wang, don't misunderstand, the space of Luoyang City is really limited, and it can't accommodate so many troops, so I have to grieve your subordinates and take turns to enter the city to repair." ”

"General, they are trying to divide our ......" Liu Jianyi and Luo Tai were interrupted by Wang Shaoyu waving his hand before they finished speaking.

"Okay, Lord Wang, the last general agrees to this condition, and for the time being, let the left and right wings be stationed in Dongguan, and only let the Chinese army enter the city."

After saying this, Wang Shaoyu looked back at the two people who were full of words, his expression was blank, and he ordered: "You two immediately lead the left and right wings to garrison Guandong, if there is no general order, you are not allowed to get close to the gate of Luoyang City!" Otherwise, the military law will deal with it, and it will not be spared. ”

Liu Jianyi and Luo Tai were desperate, and when they thought about Wang Shaoyu's past behavior, they were relieved, knowing that they couldn't change anything, so they had to turn their horses' heads, turn around, and lead their respective deployments to Dongguan.

At this moment, Wang Shaoyu seemed to be strong and light-hearted, but his heart was relieved, and a cold sweat broke out on his back, but he still maintained a calm appearance, and asked loudly with a smile: "Lord Wang, can the last general enter the city now?" ”

"Okay, Mr. Wang, you wait a minute, this official will go down and let the city gate soldiers open the city gate." The prefect Feng Yijun gave King Fu a look and grabbed the words, and the latter immediately understood and acquiesced to Feng Yijun's speech.

Gradually, as time passed minute by minute, Liu Jianyi and Luo Tai's soldiers and horses gradually drifted apart, and there was a distance from Luoyang City, and in a dull crunching sound, the two gates slowly opened.

"Into town!"

Wang Shaoyu waved his horsewhip, his face was overjoyed, and after issuing an order excitedly, he immediately took the lead and rode straight to Luoyang City.

However, Wang Shaoyu no longer cared about all the unhappiness in it, and breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, he finally entered the city, and his life was guaranteed.
