As the gateway to the west of Luoyang, the Han Pass City is more than twice as large as the Yan Han City in the upper reaches of the valley, and Li Tai's thousands of men and horses entering the city can not completely control the city, and can only concentrate on a few important areas for defense.

After entering the city, Li Tai felt more and more that if it were not for a sudden change, if he only relied on his men and horses to attack head-on, even if the troops increased several times, it would be very difficult to conquer this fortress.

In order to prevent the Western Wei forces from re-entering and controlling the Heluo region, the Eastern Wei side invested a lot, and it was also an important part of the expansion of this Guancheng.

But no matter how steep the pass, the real decision to win or lose the war is still people, due to the spontaneous collapse of the defenders, this majestic pass defense fell into the hands of Li Tai so easily, the Eastern Wei generals who had previously arranged this border defense were afraid that they could not have dreamed of it.

Putting aside the various variables in the war, after taking control of Guancheng, Li Tai immediately passed the news of the results of the battle to the back road, hoping that the back road could send some more men and horses to strengthen his troops.

However, Li Tai also understood that this was not very likely, and he was surprised that he was advancing so smoothly on the front line of Beikun Road, but he was only the forward of the army, and the overall strategic goal of the eastward march of the army would probably not change because of the results he achieved. Even he himself was not very optimistic about Heluo's tactical ideas before, and now it was delusional to hope that Li Bi and the others would turn around and cooperate with him.

So if nothing else, his advance in Heluo should stop here, if he is forced forward and there are not enough reinforcements on the back road, when the Eastern Wei people in this area react, he will have to be surrounded by the Eastern Wei in the Luoyang area like his father-in-law Dugu Xin did back then, waiting for people from all walks of life to come to the rescue.

However, if that happens, it is unknown whether anyone will save him, after all, the current focus of the overlord's actions is still on interfering in the situation in Henan.

In other words, if he could still look at this series of changes as an outsider before, then now there is really enough reason to complain about Wang Sizheng: What do you say you are doing so fast, if you are slow, the overlord can arrange a tactical plan to recover Heluo around my results.

The Hou Jing Rebellion was one of the most important changes in the East-West confrontation and even in the Later Three Kingdoms period, and Wang Sizheng's unauthorized actions caused the Western Wei Dynasty to lose its strategic initiative in the early period.

If this sentence is still more mysterious, then Li Tai's current situation is a vivid example, although he has achieved certain results, but in the case that Wang Sizheng has already entered the game first, it is difficult for the overlord to invest more in Li Tai.

Putting aside these miscellaneous thoughts, Li Tai quickly accepted the results of sorting. Due to the bloodless occupation of this Guancheng, the combat consumption was almost none, and the personnel was still the same situation after the battle of Yan Hancheng ended.

The material savings in Guancheng are not as rich as Yan Hancheng, both grain, grass and ordnance are very limited, according to the legend that since the beginning of this year, Heluo has not replenished the materials in Guancheng, only a batch of materials were transported to Yiyang Jiuqu City along Luoshui through Guandong some time ago.

The lack of material reserves in the city is also one of the reasons for the collapse of the army and civilians defending the city, probably in the opinion of the chief officer of the Heluo side of the Eastern Wei Dynasty, there is Yan Hancheng in front of him, and the rugged area of the Beikun Road itself is difficult to travel, and the Western Wei will not choose this route even if it breaks through, so it will invest limited personnel resources in more needed positions.

Although the seizure of materials was not as abundant and considerable as Yan Hancheng's, one of the gains was very amazing, that is, there were more than 30 Gao Ao Cao lying on his stomach in the warehouse of Guancheng.

When Li Tai looked at the silk silk full of more than a dozen warehouses, he was also very surprised, although this thing is also a kind of war preparation materials, but it is enough to use, is it to make more than a dozen sets of new clothes for each soldier in the military city, or simply to mock the poverty of the Western Wei Dynasty?

After interrogation, he realized that the reason why so many silk silks were stored in Guancheng was actually the soldiers' rations.

Although the main source of the Northern Wei army was the soldiers and the city, the battlefield environment also changed after the capital was moved to Luoyang, mainly fighting with the Southern Qi and Liang between the two Huai and the middle reaches of the Yangtze River. Most of the soldiers of Xianbei City were mainly cavalry, so they began to recruit soldiers from prefectures and counties.

The so-called fan soldiers are soldiers who serve in ordinary households, and the annual service period is one month. However, in fact, most of the time from the time of requisition to the time of departure was wasted, and the time left for the period of war was very small.

Therefore, 12 households were taken as a unit, and each household was given a horse of silk instead of military service, and one ding was drawn from it to replace the twelve families to serve, and the service period was one year, and one horse was rotated every year, and the twelve horses of silk per year were consumed by the food and clothing of the soldiers in the service of that year.

Originally, these twelve silk horses were carried by each soldier in turn, but often lost and destroyed, so it was stipulated that the town where the soldiers were located was centralized for storage management.

The Eastern Wei Dynasty also inherited the Northern Wei Dynasty's military system, but the original 12 Ding was expanded to 15 Ding, and the corresponding silk money carried by each Fan soldier was also 15 horses.

Li Tai had never heard of such a system in Kansai, and the reason why Kansai did not pursue this system was probably because the households were too poor, and the tyrant needed the annual labor force provided by the households.

Han Guancheng was one of the important garrisons between Heluo and Luo, and although some soldiers were transferred elsewhere, their silk money remained in Guancheng. These more than 300,000 horses of silk silk are equivalent to the rations of more than 20,000 soldiers levied in Hebei, Henan and other prefectures this year.

In addition to these more than 300,000 silks, there were nearly 2,000 Zhuzhou soldiers left in the city, and they failed to escape from the city in the first place, and now they can't escape anymore.

Because his hometown origins were too complicated, Li Tai simply mixed them into three battalions, handed them over to Zhao Jingzhi and others, and took the people who had surrendered out of the city before to be responsible for the repair of the city and some miscellaneous servants.

Soon after Li Tai entered Guancheng, Han Xiong, who was one step ahead, also sent someone to report the news: after bypassing Guancheng, Han Xiong and his party successfully entered the Luoxi Plain and disguised themselves as Eastern Wei people, and successfully captured the Golden Grang City, which was located dozens of miles east of Guancheng.

The Golden Gucang City is located between the Qianjinyan and the Jingu River in the lower reaches of the valley water, and the Qianjinyan is a river weir built during the Wei and Jin dynasties, in order to divert the valley water that flows into the Luoyang City moat at that time. Later, during the Northern Wei Dynasty, it was repaired again, because its daily water conservancy can be worth a thousand gold, so this name is also known as a thousand gold.

Jingu River is a tributary of the north bank of the valley water, and the place where it injects the valley water to form an angle is where the Jingu Garden built by Shi Chong of the Western Jin Dynasty is located, and the ancient battlefield where Zhao Liu Yao and Later Zhao Shile fought during the Wuhu Chaos period is also in this realm.

Now the garden is long gone, and even the nearby Luoyang City is dilapidated and withered. The Eastern Wei Dynasty built a city near the weir as an important transit point in Luoxi, relying on rivers such as Luoshui and Gushui to transport materials to various garrison strongholds between Heluo.

Han Xiong and his entourage occupied the Golden Granary City, which was equivalent to cutting off the logistics network of the entire Luoxi region, and the Golden Granary City was connected with the Han Guancheng and happened to be located on the back road of the Guancheng.

In addition to the important geographical location of Golden Barn City, Han Xiong had already seized a lot of materials, and the armor and swords, and the weight of grain and straw were even more abundant than those obtained by Yan Hancheng. After all, this warehouse city itself is a transit place for material collection and transportation, and it is responsible for transporting materials to all parties, and its daily savings are quite considerable.

Li Tai couldn't help but be overjoyed after browsing the list of materials submitted by Han Xiong.

The Eastern Wei Dynasty and the Western Wei Dynasty are the same as the military politics, and the social wealth and resources must first meet the military needs, but the wealth and resources that can be dispatched by the two are not the same, although only a few Eastern Wei strongholds have been captured, but this kind of fun of opening the blind box has made Li Tai quite addicted.

Before the commander of the Chinese army in the rear road gave instructions, Li Tai did not choose to continue to increase troops to the Golden Valley City, but only sent a group of chariots and horses to transport the spoils obtained from the Cangcheng back to Guancheng, and told Han Xiong to be ready to evacuate at any time if the situation was not good.

Although Han Xiong did not directly oppose the reply, but between the lines also revealed the meaning of holding Cangcheng in order to continue to move forward, as a native of Henan, and now living in Yin, Henan, of course, he hopes to be able to build a meritorious career based on the countryside.

Li Tai understood Han Xiong's feelings, but his influence on the overall situation was also limited, at least not enough to influence the overlord to abandon Henan, give up Wang Sizheng and concentrate on cultivating in the Heluo region. Even if Yuwentai had wanted to recover Heluo and even look at Heyang before, the current situation did not allow it.

When the military order of Li Bi, the commander of the Chinese army, came, Li Tai was not surprised, and copied the general order to Han Xiong, hoping that he could remain rational and be clear about advancing and retreating at a critical moment.

However, Han Xiong had not yet made a new decision, but an Eastern Wei cavalry came rapidly in the upper reaches of Luoshui, not only surrounding the Golden Grain Cangcheng Regiment, but also a small group of men and horses continued to advance westward along the valley water, and went straight to the gate of Guancheng to shout and invite battle.
