Although it is said that Shile was unifying the northern land, the establishment of Zhao was a matter of twenty-two years.

But looking at the north, except for the Zu Ti who gave Shi Le pressure on the Northern Expedition later, in the face of other forces, Shi Le was still like the autumn wind sweeping away the leaves.

Moreover, Yao Yu believed that if Shile had sufficient logistics, his time to unify the north would only be shorter.

Shi Le was much more difficult to deal with than Liu Yuan.

First, it is Shi Le's heart that is more ruthless and has stronger military capabilities.

Second, he lived much more than Liu Yuan.

If nothing else, Liu Yuan died three years later, after Sima Yue.

As for Shile, he is thirty-five years old this year, and he has a long way to live.

With such a potential hero standing on the stage of the world, it is difficult for you to grasp how much he has achieved.

Moreover, because of his occupation of the Jianghan area of Jingzhou, Shi Le also lost two years of detours in Jingzhou, which will be faster for his rise.

Thinking of this, Yao Yu lowered his head.

The class table and the others asked Yao Yu to have an incorrect expression, so they asked Yao Yu what was wrong.

"No, nothing."

While speaking, Yao Yu took a deep breath: "Shi Le is in Hebei, and we are still far away, so don't worry about him." Nowadays, the most important thing is to deal with Wang Mi. If he breaks Luoyang, then it will be a big problem. Although our attitude towards the imperial court is not very good. But the shame of the fall of the imperial court will still fall on the heads of those of us who are courtiers. I, Yao Yu, can't afford such humiliation. ”

The class table nodded, and then asked, "Then the lord, do you want to lead the troops yourself?" ”

"Well, by the way, let's also meet the Son of Heaven. Pass my order to requisition 20,000 cavalry in the city. In addition, Yao Bao was ordered to lead 5,000 soldiers and horses in Xiangyang, and Gao Kan to lead 5,000 soldiers and horses in Nanyang, and together with Quan Yan and Quan Yao, to recover Xuchang. The armies set out urgently, and I led the large army, which followed behind. ”

When the order was given, everyone answered yes and prepared to go.

As for Yao Yu, he took advantage of this time to return to the backyard and find Ban Rou and Jiang Jiao to explain the situation.

When the two heard this, they were still very surprised: "Wang Mi? Who's that? Isn't it amazing? Why haven't you heard of this person before? ”

Yao Yu took a deep breath: "This person can't be said to be very powerful, it can only be said that he is very bold." He is the grandson of the former Runan Taishou Wangji. He once followed Biqiu Jian to attack Goguryeo as Xuansu Taishou. and as the Taishou of Tianshui, he followed the general of the expedition to the west, and Deng Ai destroyed Ji Han. It can be regarded as a great achievement. ”

Jiang Jiao was surprised: "In that case, Wang Mi's background is not bad." His grandfather Wang Qi was also brilliant. How did he become a traitor? ”

Yao Yu smiled bitterly: "That's why I said that this Wang Mi is a-stirring stick." It is true that he eats and drinks without worry, but Wang Mi was born with a strange temper, and he doesn't do it as a good family, so he has to stir up the world with his own strength. Just like this time to capture Xuchang and besiege Luoyang. ”

Ban Rou couldn't understand the thoughts of these families, so she asked Yao Yudao: "In that case, do you want to lead troops to relieve the siege of Luoyang?" ”

Yao Yu nodded and agreed: "Yes, Luoyang can't fall yet." If Luoyang falls, Sima Yue's back road is cut off. The 100,000 armies of the imperial court in the north will be wiped out in one fell swoop. At present, we do not have enough strength to unify Jiangnan. If we allow the alien race to grow bigger, we have to guard against Liu Yuan on the one hand, and also guard against Sima Rui and their backstabbing. I can't bear it at all. What's more, this is also an opportunity for me to win the hearts and minds of the people. Although the court is ignorant, the people still have a Jin family in their hearts. If I lead my troops north to relieve the siege at this time, I can also leave the impression of a loyal and good general in the hearts of the people. It will be more convenient for us to absorb displaced people in the future. ”

Ban Rou listened with a big head: "Although I don't understand what it means, but since you have already made a decision." Then go for it, Sister Jiang Jiao and I support you! ”

Yao Yu smiled: "Then I'll go." ”

"Well, go ahead."

After saying that, Yao Yu went to say goodbye to Chen Shi again.

An hour later, the 20,000 troops in the city were assembled.

On the one hand, Yao Yu ordered people to pack the instant noodles they had made these days and bring them on his body as supplies, and on the other hand, he sent people out of the city to send a letter to Yao Bao, Gao Kan Quanyan and others, and asked them to set off first.

Here, the benefits of instant noodles are experienced.

You switch to other food supplies, and that could be so fast.

Not to mention anything else, the 20,000-strong army needs at least 60,000 people to be responsible for logistics and supply.

It is easy to assemble an army, but it is not easy to assemble so many people.

That is, instant noodles, which the army can carry on its own march, and even if you don't save your physical strength, you can bring it for two months.

The weight is not much, which is converted into modern instant noodles, which is seven or eight boxes.

Of course, Yao Yu's instant noodles don't have packaging or boxes, you just need to throw the dough cake wrapped in oiled paper into the back basket you carry. Carry it and go.

The army assembled, Yao Yu said goodbye to the class Suohong and others, and when he left, he asked everyone to take care of the house, and Li Xiong and others in the province knew that they were not there, so they took the opportunity to steal the house.

No, after everything was settled, Yao Yu commanded an army of 20,000, with Lian Jun and Ma Bang as the vanguard, led 4,000 cavalry to go first, and commanded 10,000 soldiers and horses himself, leading Lu Bi Hexiong, and Sun Yiwei, who joined the army, followed closely by the Chinese army. Fang Yi led 6,000 people to escort the logistics of 20,000 people, that is, instant noodles to keep up.

A rapid march along the way is naturally not a problem.

By the time Yao Yu arrived in Nanyang, Quan Yan, Quan Yao, Yao Bao, and Gao Kan had already led 20,000 troops into Yingchuan, captured several cities along the way, and surrounded Xuchang.

Wang Mi's subordinate in Xuchang was originally a bandit named Hu Yong, and he was a typical old man.

Under his command, there were 13,000 soldiers and horses under his command, who were also bandits.

It has been 20 days since Quanyan sent their troops, and they captured several cities in Yingchuan along the way, successfully isolating Xuchang.

But during this period of time, Hu Yong, as the main general, did not react at all, and all day long he led his subordinates to rob the people and arrest the people's daughters for his own pleasure.

When Quan Yan and their troops came to the city, they remembered to urgently deploy defenses.

···

Yao Yu's army rushed to Yao Bao's village under Xuchang City, and after a brief understanding of the situation, he learned that Hu Yong in the city was an incompetent person, so he nodded and issued a combat order.

Rescuing Luoyang is a matter of burning eyebrows, so it must not be sloppy.

The sooner Xuchangcheng was taken, the sooner Luoyang was safe.

So, Yao Yu came up and showed all his strength, and he asked Yao Bao to select a total of 5,000 strong men in the army to form a vanguard force, mainly attacking the south of the city to put pressure on Hu Yong.

As for Gao Kan Quanyan and Lian Jun Quanyao and other generals, they made a feint attack on the rest of the city walls.
