Shi Le was stopped in the area of Hedong County, just north of Luoyang, not far from Shangdang.

After Xun Xiu discovered their traces, he immediately sent someone to send the news back to Luoyang.

The 3,000 soldiers and horses that Wang Mi left successfully bypassed Shile's soldiers and horses and went straight to Bingzhou, intending to take advantage of Shile's lack of news to settle down and merge with the state first.

Therefore, Shi Le didn't know the situation in Luoyang, and he didn't know about the beggar army who stopped Shi Le's army and fought with them.

They just think that Shi Le is a Hu person, and they bring Hu soldiers, seeing that this posture is to be unfavorable to Luoyang, although they themselves have not eaten or drunk, but they still bite Shi Le to the death, and they will not let them go to Luoyang.

Xun Xiu sent the news back, and at the same time, he followed Zhao Hanzhang's order to let people spread the news of Luoyang to the other party's army.

But where is the use of them, before their news is delivered, Shi Le's army received the news from Luoyang, and Ji Yuan is a small step ahead of him.

Therefore, the news that they spread out arrived in the Shile army one step later, but it soon arrived in the beggar army.

The beggar army is a combination of officials and civilians, brave and good at fighting, but ...... He's poor!

Poor enough to eat, they originally followed Sima Teng to escape from Bingzhou, running all the way, and in the end, in order to survive, the officials and scholars of Bingzhou gathered the displaced people and formed an army to beg for food in Jizhou.

It has reached the point of begging, and the officials and scholars can no longer maintain their status and dignity, all in order to live, the wide-sleeved robes on their bodies have been replaced with narrow sleeves, and even because of poverty, they are tired of patches, and they barely cover up one or two with armor.

As more and more places were turned to war and begging, the officials and scholars in the army lived less and less, and in the end, except for a few people, the rest were constantly accepted as homeless people, so they also became the same as homeless people.

Because most of them are homeless, the army drags their families with their mouths, except for a few leaders at the head, the whole army can not find a complete pair of battle armor, the clothes are all patches and tired, and the feet are basically straw sandals rubbed by themselves.

They have only one purpose - to live! That's why it's called the Beggar Army.

No matter who it is, except for the Xiongnu, Xianbei, Qianhu and other foreign forces, anyone who can afford money and food, they will fight whoever they are invited.

So today, the king of the East China Sea paid them to grab some land from Gou Xi, and they went to fight Gou Xi, and tomorrow Gou Xi took out grain and grass and asked them to beat the king of the East China Sea, and they turned their heads to beat the king of the East China Sea.

So their goal is very clear, money and food.

It is also for this reason that many people have hired them, and they all look down on them, and so far no force is willing to fully accept them.

After finishing the work, they would blast people out after settling the money and grain and grass, and the beggar army wandered around, occasionally volunteering to fight Liu Yuanshile and other Hu troops to block their plunder.

Hearing that a Jin army came next door, Chen Wu, the general of the beggar army, immediately called Chen Chuan and Feng Long Li Tou and asked them: "Which of you is willing to inquire about the situation, there is not much grain and grass in the army, and you have to find a food owner for the time being." ”

Feng Long and Li Tou immediately said: "The last general is willing to go." ”

Chen Chuan was reluctant to go and roll around, and also recommended the two of them to go, "Let them go, I'll go ahead and guard." ”

"Okay, you two go."

So Feng Long and Li Tou took off the armor on their bodies, revealing a patched suit and were about to leave, but Chen Wu felt that they were not cold enough, so he called two personal soldiers and asked them to take off their clothes and change them with them.

"There are so many cavalry on the other side, and there seems to be a lot of armor, and you look rich, and you behave miserably, maybe you can get grain and grass."

Feng Long and Li Tou felt that what he said was reasonable, they were a group of military men who didn't take a shower for more than ten days, and no one should dislike anyone.

So, the two generals in rags stood in front of Xun Xiu.

"Beggars?" Xun Xiu frowned, but still squeezed out a smile, and asked gently, "I don't know what happened to the two of you?" ”

"In front is the Shile army, is General Xun here to block Shile?"

When they entered the camp just now, they had already inquired that it was Yuzhou Xun Xiu who led the troops, but Yuzhou was quite far from here, so I don't know why they came here.

Because they are all Jin troops, although Xun Xiu doesn't look down on them very much, he still exchanges some information with them, and they are also wondering about the situation of Shile's army.

So Xun Xiu knew that they had stopped Shi Le here for five days, and Shi Le also pushed out a lot of Jin ministers to kill and play, forcing the beggar army to retreat.

However, the captured Jin Chen could not give money and grain to the begging army, and they were not as important as Luoyang in the hearts of the begging army, so Chen Wu was killed by them, and they just didn't retreat.

Feng Long said: "There is also Wang Yan and Wang Taiwei in there, is General Xun here to save Wang Taiwei and them?" ”

Li Tou hinted on the side: "We have more than 5,000 soldiers, all of whom are brave and good at fighting, and can help the general, but we have been famine for several days, and our strength is a little insufficient." ”

Xun Xiu just didn't hear it, although they brought grain and grass, it was only enough for them for half a month, or the food they bought from the scholars and doctors in the palace, how could it be given to the beggar army?

engulf

There is no grain and grass, but the information is still given.

For example, Wang Mi died, and died at the hands of their envoy Zhao Hanzhang!

For example, Liu Cong was defeated and defeated in the hands of their envoy Zhao Hanzhang!

For another example, the emperor was saved, and they made Jun Zhao Hanzhang the Duke of Runan County!

In the end, now Luoyang is their envoy Zhao Hanzhang in governance!

Xun Xiu concealed the news that the emperor followed Gou Xi to move the capital, and only said that they asked the emperor to let them come to rescue the Jin ministers who were captured by Shi Le.

Feng Da and Li Tou returned to the beggar army, and said to Chen Wu: "I am very stingy, I don't want to give out a bucket of food, saying that I am here to save Jin Chen, but I think he has no intention of saving at all, so he is stationed on the side, general, he doesn't want us to work for day, right?" ”

Chen Wu thought for a while and shook his head, "There is Wang Yan in there, Wang Yan has a great reputation and great talent, if he returns to the emperor and waves his arms, half of the families in the world will listen to his orders, I'm afraid that Zhao Hanzhang doesn't want him to go back alive, maybe the emperor doesn't want to, so ......"

"So they want to force Wang Yan to death?" Feng Da took a sip and said, "These people's hearts are really dirty, then general, are we still staying here?" ”

Chen Wu asked, "Is he really unwilling to give a bucket of rice?" ”

"Li Tou mentioned it three times, but he didn't talk, obviously unwilling to give money."

Chen Wu sighed and said, "Forget it, since they are here, give Shile to them, and we will leave tomorrow." ”

He said: "There is not much grain and grass in the army, and if you want to save something, let's go west for a walk, I heard that Xianbei will occasionally invade Chang'an and other places, see if the king of Nanyang wants to hire us." ”

"Yes."
