Although Xuchang fell into the hands of the Qin army, it did not fall into chaos.

It seems that it was just a change of guard between Qin and Jin.

Wang Shen and Sima Tai led the defeated army to retreat calmly, and after the Qin army entered the city, several Qiang soldiers robbed the people's daughters, and they were immediately taken down by Du Pre's own soldiers and beheaded in front of thousands of people in the market.

Since then, the Qin soldiers have all behaved a lot.

Xuchang, as the old capital of Cao Wei and an important town in the world, has countless money and grain in the treasury.

Du pre-gave money and silk to the soldiers, and distributed the surplus grain to the people.

For a time, the whole city was full of voices praising the Qin State.

However, the scholars in Xuchang City have been closed all the time, not taking the initiative to contact the Qin army, nor resisting, looking submissive.

The morale of the Qin army was basically restored, and almost every soldier made a windfall.

Zhou Zhi reported on the military situation: "Lu Qin and Sima Jun have 70,000 troops and are rushing to Xuchang, and the state and county soldiers of Yan and Henan are also being assembled. ”

Lord Bo Zhang Yan said excitedly: "The people in the city have all returned to their hearts, Xuchang is a strong city in the world, the money and grain are abundant, the population is large, our army with this city, enough to block the 100,000 thieves of the Jin Dynasty!" ”

The two-month experience was like a dream.

The seemingly impossible Jiancheng was like a piece of cake in front of Du Pre.

If you can occupy Xuchang, it is equivalent to asking for half the life of the Sima family.

The entire southern part of the Central Plains will be eroded.

Zhou Zhi also agreed: "Yes, Lu Qin and Sima Jun are general, Sima Yan's main force is in Hedong, with the military strategy of the governor, how can the Central Plains be mediocre!" ”

It's not just the two of them who respect Du Pre like a celestial.

The whole Qin army respected Du Pre like a god.

Therefore, Du was able to prohibit the order, and if he said that he would be beheaded, there was no complaint in the army.

Du Zhen shook his head.

Zhou Zhi said: "Could it be that the governor wants to withdraw from the army?" ”

Zhang Yan was also puzzled.

Du pre-said: "The reason why our army was able to break through Xuchang was that Liu Taishou held Wancheng and attracted the troops of Zhuge Xu and Sima Liang, and secondly, the Yingchuan warriors borrowed our hands to demonstrate to Sima Yan. ”

"Then convince the Yingchuan clan to serve my Great Qin! As long as they are willing to contribute, Luoyang can be defeated! Zhou Zhi's face was full of expectations, this is the work of the world.

"The Yingchuan clan is willing to secretly assist us today, and tomorrow they will help the Sima family again! Moreover, Xuchang is a lonely city, and the people obey us because of profit, not the real heart, once the army besieges the city, the city is full of meticulous work, and the inside and outside should be combined, what can we do about it? Du pre-patiently analyzed.

"This ......" Zhou Zhi was speechless for a while.

Even if the Yingchuan clan does not have the same heart as the Sima family, they will never work together with the Qin army.

They won't be desperate to put all their weight on the Qin State.

"Once Sima Yan promises heavy benefits to the Yingchuan clans, does General Zhou think that they will still help us?" Du pre-mild and said.

"If they don't comply, kill them!" A sharp glint burst out in Zhou Zhi's eyes.

"There are so many powerful clans in the world, how many can we kill?"

"Do you just give up Xuchang?" Zhou Zhi was really unwilling.

Du Yu said indifferently: "This battle can take Xuchang, it is an unexpected move, give up today, and fight back tomorrow, the general trend of the world has never been the gain or loss of one city and one place!" Now our army has won the hearts of the people, he will sweep the Central Plains one day, will be like a soup pouring snow, if today the warriors are driven out of all the strong, he will be bloody in the day, the end of the Han Dynasty chaos for 80 years, the people are almost extinct, the people are tired of war, we will follow the people's hearts, the world will return to Daqin. ”

There is another reason, with the current strength of the Qin State, it is not enough to extend its strength to Xuchang.

I don't have the strength to eat the entire Central Plains in one go.

If you stay here, you will end up surrounded to death.

It's better to accept it when you see it and retain your strength.

took the initiative to retreat, and the face was gone, and the lining was also there.

If it is surrounded, there is nothing.

With the current status of Du Pre and Zhou Zhi, if it is folded here, it will also be a big blow to the Qin State.

"The governor is a little far-reaching, I can't wait." Zhang Yan arched his hand.

Zhou Zhi could only sigh, "The last general is ordered!" ”

Du Zhen smiled and said: "Order, pack up your line today, and return to the army tomorrow!" ”

Mengjindu.

Malone has been storming for seven days, but he has never been able to break through this place.

The main reason is that Wang Hun, the general of the Jin army, has a naval army of 1,000 people at the ferry, and every time he erects a pontoon bridge regardless of casualties, it is broken by Wang Hun.

And reinforcements from all walks of life of the Jin army came one after another.

Sima Heng, the king of Changshan, led 8,000 young people from Jizhou to come.

Sima Quan, the king of Pengcheng who stayed in Yecheng, led 20,000 tribes, domestic slaves, and Minzhuang to come.

There is also a general Yan Xun who rode 10,000 steps from Youzhou.

The most dangerous is the Hanoi County behind it, Sima Xun, the king of the county, is recruiting the villagers, and the heroes from near and far have voted for it, plus the Hanoi county soldiers, they have already mustered up a force of 30,000 horses.

Ma Long didn't break through Mengjin at the first time, and it was basically impossible to step into the Luoyang realm.

There was no progress for many days, and the herdsmen in the army began to complain.

One is to envy the villagers who were plundered in Hebei, others eat and drink spicy food, but they are playing with their lives on the front line, of course they are unwilling, and the herdsmen are already mixed with a large number of rabble on the grassland, such a short time is not enough to train them into elites, it is okay to fight a tailwind battle, it is difficult for them to play with their lives.

Second, the Jin army responded reasonably, and Wang Hun's 5,000 men and horses held Mengjin, which shook the morale and confidence of the herdsmen.

There are only 10,000 Chinese troops available around Ma Long, and more than 13,000 Tuoba Xianbei cavalry.

However, the cavalry had to fight water battles and siege cities, which was obviously too difficult.

"It seems that you don't want to enter Luoyang?" Malone glanced at the generals under his command.

Everyone's faces were sad.

In the past seven days, more than 1,000 people have been buried in the Yellow River.

The steppe people are especially not good at water, once they fall into the water, they will disappear after two splashes......

Even waist-deep water can drown one or two Huns or Xianbei fools......

"Qiyu Dudu, this place of Luoyang is four, and you can't get out if you go in......" The Huns will call Yandang.

Tuoba Lu official said: "There is a big river in front of it, and there are heavy troops in the back, and if you are not careful, you will fall into a heavy siege and it will be difficult to get out of trouble." ”

"And what do you want to do?" There was a hint of banter on the corner of Malone's mouth.

"Hebei is just around the corner, why not plunder, it's not the same as weakening the Sima family?" Tuoba Lu official road.

"Looks like you all want to loot?" Malone glanced at everyone.

The generals nodded their heads again and again, like chickens pecking rice.

Despite being incorporated into the herding horses, these people still can't escape their nature.

"Well, the governor of Pontus is not a person who is unsympathetic, and it is difficult to disobey the will of the people." Malone breathed a sigh of relief.

The generals were overjoyed.

"However, Hebei is surrounded by heavy troops, how about we change the way to loot?"

"As long as it's a plunder, where does it matter?" Hu Yandang grinned.

"What do you want?" Tuoba Luguan still has some brains, after all, he is the son of Tuoba Liwei.

Malone said in a deep voice: "Go to the party!" ”

The generals don't know the meaning yet.

But Malone had already drawn his sword and stood up, a blue light flashed, and the case was almost divided into two, "If you want to plunder, you will be supervised, but if there are those who are not able to fight, this is the case!" ”
