It can be expected that the defeat of Shile's 50,000 main forces will make him have no idea of going south for two years.

Even, Shile had to worry about whether he would take the opportunity to go north to conquer his territory.

Of course, Yao Yu is also powerless, this time in order to deal with Shile's southward movement, the regions in the south of the Yangtze River are already operating at a high load. It's almost a battle to deal with with the money and food in the next six months.

Originally, Yao Yu thought that as long as the Chinese army had 30,000 cavalry, it would be enough to deal with Shile, but he never expected that on the battlefield of Qingzhou, 50,000 horses were also dispatched.

With so many people, people eat horses and chew them, and the consumption of money and food is not sky-high.

It's hateful that every time it's not the right opportunity, otherwise, Yao Yu will definitely command the army and take the opportunity to go north to subdue the lost territory in Henan.

Now, at most, give Wang Xuance 5,000 mobile troops, and let him try to recover Luoyang City.

In this way, Yao Yu's army stayed in Yingchuan to repair and restore people's livelihood. Waiting for Wang Xuance's good news.

Ten days later, Wang Xuance's news arrived.

What is surprising is that Wang Xuance was defeated.

The 5,000 people who were in good spirits when they went back came back, although the 5,000 people did not lose much, but they were all frowning and unable to raise their fighting spirit.

Wang Xuance, the leader, had several arrows stuck in his shoulders, like a defeated rooster.

Seeing this situation, Yao Yu couldn't help but be surprised, and when he caught Wang Xuance, he asked, "Xuance, what kind of style are you?" Why, failed to take Luoyang? ”

Wang Xuance's old face turned red, and he dismounted and knelt down suddenly: "I'm sorry, my lord, it's me who is incompetent." Losing troops and generals under Luoyang City is insulting to the military prestige, you, you punish me. ”

Yao Yu frowned: "No, you stand up first and talk about what's going on." ”

Under Yao Yu's repeated questioning, Wang Xuance had no choice but to tell him about his attack on Luoyang.

Originally, he rushed to Luoyang City with the power of a great victory, thinking that this Luoyang City would surrender without a fight.

After all, Shile's 50,000 troops were all thrown in Yingchuan, and when Luoyang learned the news, the army must be shocked.

Not to mention Wang Xuance, even the cavalry who followed him to attack Luoyang felt that going to Luoyang this time was a one-time thing, and Luoyang City could be taken in an instant.

However, he never expected that after Wang Xuance rushed to Luoyang City, he fell for the other party's trick to lure the enemy, and was arranged by a wave of archers to shoot indiscriminately under the urn city.

After the first defeat, Wang Xuance wanted to rein in the soldiers and fight again, but he never thought that at the critical moment, the grain and grass were burned again.

This time, Wang Xuance had no choice but to come back with grievances to find Yao Yu to recover his life.

After learning what happened, Yao Yu became more and more surprised, and asked Wang Xuance: "Who is the one who stayed in Luoyang?" With such a lot of wisdom, isn't it Shiler's conspiracy? ”

Wang Xuance hurriedly shook his head: "No, I asked, and it was Shi Le's conspirator who returned to Yecheng to transport grain and grass long before the decisive battle." In the first battle of Mi County, Zhang Bin was not present at all. ”

"Then who is the defender of Luoyang?"

"I heard that it seems to be a cowherd named Xu Guang."

When the words landed, Yao Yu's face was full of surprise.

Seeing his expression, not only Wang Xuance, Quan Yan, Sun Yi and others were full of curiosity: "Lord Gong (Song Gong), do you know this Xu Guang?" ”

Yao Yu came back to his senses and sighed, and said in his heart that he didn't know it, but he had heard of it.

Historically, Xu Guang was Shi Le's second mastermind after Zhang Bin's death.

Originally, Xu Guang was born in an ordinary farming family, and his father Xu Cong was born as a cattle herder.

When Xu Guang was thirteen years old, Shi Le's general Wang Yang attacked Xu Guang's hometown and captured Xu Guang.

Just seeing that Xu Guang was smart, he took Xu Guang under his command.

It's a pity that Xu Guang has a naughty personality and doesn't respect etiquette, so he lets him herd horses, so he sits in the horse pen every day and writes poems, regardless of the quality of the war horses.

When Wang Yang found out, he arrested Xu Guang and imprisoned him.

However, Xu Guang was not honest in prison, and he was familiar with the jailers, and he asked people to bring books to him every day, criticizing the government and pointing out the shortcomings of Shile's rule of the people.

For this reason, Wang Yang warned many times to no avail.

In the end, it was Shi Le who heard about Xu Guang, released him from prison, and arranged for him to serve as a cronie by his side.

Later, Xu Guang provoked Shi Le because of something, and was demoted to the goal keeper by Shi Le, doing the hardest work.

Later, Zhang Bin died of illness, and Shi Le lost his right arm. Unable to take care of himself for several days.

After all, Zhang Bin is the patriarch of Shile's family, and without Zhang Bin to guide Shile and give advice, he would not be able to unify the north at all.

After Zhang Bin went, Cheng Bin who took over Zhang Bin lacked ability, and he was much worse than Zhang Bin.

Just when Shi Le sighed about Zhang Bin, he suddenly thought of Xu Guang, and promoted him to the mastermind.

Xu Guang did live up to Shi Le's trust, in history, when Liu Yao led 100,000 troops to attack Luoyang City, all the civil and military ministers under Shi Le suggested avoiding the war, only Xu Guang resolutely supported Shi Le's personal crusade.

Later, everything became known.

Shi Le broke Liu Yao's main force in Luoyang City, captured Liu Yao, his nephew Shi Hu, and his nephew Shi Tunnel attacked Guanzhong and collected all the land in Guanzhong.

Of course, now, Shi Le had already taken down Liu Yao and unified the north with the help of Suo Qi and Hu Yanyan.

Zhang Bin is still alive, and Xu Guang is as unknown as in history.

Just like this time in the battle against Yingchuan, because of his always self-righteous character, he was arranged by Shi Le to stay in Luoyang City to defend.

Before leaving, Shi Le gave Xu Guang 2,000 soldiers and horses.

However, no one expected that Xu Guang relied on these two thousand soldiers and horses to ambush Wang Xuance who came to attack, and destroyed Wang Xuance's plan to occupy Luoyang.

No, knowing that it was Xu Guang operating behind the scenes, Yao Yu's eyes gradually narrowed into a line: "What a Xu Guang, he dared to thwart my military might and not clean him up, I really thought that I Yao Yu had no one under him, right?" ”

Hearing Yao Yu's words, Wang Xuance was very happy, and it was naturally good to be able to defeat Xu Guang and get back face.

However, Sun Yi and Fu Yan were so frightened that they stopped again and again: "No, Song Gong, our army is short of food and grass, and it can't support a large-scale conquest." Moreover, Luoyang City is unbreakable, if the enemy comes to reinforce it. It is easy for our army to stalemate with them. At that time, the domestic economy and people's livelihood will collapse. ”

What does Sun Yi and Fu mean, how can Yao Yu not understand? In fact, that's what he said.

He didn't think about dealing with Xu Guang in the past, so that everyone could hear it.

Especially Wang Xuance, the provincial goods felt uncomfortable and shouted for him to send troops.

Xu Guang has the ability, and with the 2,000 people in Luoyang City, he will definitely be able to hold out until the new wave of reinforcements from Shile arrives.
