September 27, Luoyang.

It was really too close to each other, and the news from Nanyang and other places had been reported to Zhao Guangxiao one after another in only one or two days, which surprised him for a while, and at the same time greatly increased his doubts in his heart.

If he heard that Kaifeng Qin Yude waved his army out and attacked the two cities of Yi and Xing, he could still give a reason not to trust the other party - for example, this is just that the other party had already discussed with the Dayue Imperial Court and wanted to deceive himself with bitter tricks - then now, people not only broke the city again and again, but also besieged the important places in Nanyang, so there is really no way to use this strategy to talk about things.

Even Zhao Qianhui, who had been shouting at Qin Yude and them to kill, had become swaying: "Father, this matter does not seem to be as we thought before......

"You mean Qin Yude is credible?" Zhao Guangxiao asked vaguely.

Before Zhao Qianhui could speak, another confidant Zhu Zan took a step forward and said: "General, just looking at Qin Yude's move of putting almost all his troops into the front line of Nanyang this time, it seems that his sincerity can already be seen.

"Judging from the information on the Kaifeng side, except for the ten thousand soldiers and horses guarding Kaifeng City, the other cities are almost empty.

"If they really have the heart to be our enemy, and want to lure me into attacking, then the price is too great. If we directly send troops to attack Kaifeng and other cities, we can almost effortlessly take advantage of their cities! ”

Zhao Guangxiao's eyes flashed again, yes, there are no words that can move people more than actual actions.

Qin Yude poured out of the nest this time, and he really put his sincerity in front of him, and the meaning passed on was: If you don't believe me, you can take my Kaifeng directly.

How can such a posture not move people, and how can it not make people move?

Even Zhao Qianhui immediately said: "Father, this is a great opportunity for our two parties to join forces. Moreover, if we combine the strength of our two armies, it will not be too difficult to take Nanyang, and as long as Nanyang is obtained by us, Liangzhou will also be difficult to defend, maybe it will be ......"

Colonel Zhao Guang immediately became excited, not only him, but also the congratulations, the other generals, all of them had a light in their eyes at this time, although they opened their mouths, the meaning was undoubtedly expressed, they wanted to take the opportunity to send troops!

This is indeed a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, even better than earlier, when the Dayue Imperial Court fought against the Guo clan of Liangzhou.

At that time, because they were on guard, and they didn't feel that with Guo Yan's strength and the prosperity of Liangzhou's soldiers, they would be taken by the Dayue official army in a battle, so they would miss the opportunity.

It can be said that three years ago, when this result appeared, Zhao Guangxiao, whether it was his subordinates, or his subordinates, was really so regretful that his intestines were blue. They have said more than once in private that if they can turn back, they will definitely raise troops to attack Liang, even if they can't really take Liangzhou as their own, they can get some benefits from it.

It's a pity that there is no regret medicine in this world. It's just that now that another better opportunity is in front of us, it naturally makes people's hearts flutter.

And just as everyone was interested and about to go to the army, a voice sounded calmly: "Father, what if this is also in their calculations? ”

Everyone turned their heads to look at it, and saw Zhao Qianshun frowning, looking at them, and continued at this time: "What if they know that we have taken precautions, and they feel that Xingyang is difficult to attack, they want to transfer our main troops and horses from Luoyang Xingyang and other fortified cities, and even want to set up an ambush under Nanyang City to make a copy?" ”

One sentence made everyone's faces change, and the words of asking for war on their lips were forcibly held back.

is still the same sentence, the two sides have seen each other deeply, and it is really not so easy to resolve it, so they believe each other.

Undoubtedly, Qin Yude has shown enough sincerity that he even has to give up his old nest Kaifeng, but who can guarantee that this must not be a bitter plan set by the other party?

After all, as long as Luoyang really sends troops and really falls into the trap, isn't Kaifeng still his?

After being stunned for a long time, Zhao Guangxiao asked astringently: "Then what do you say, what choice should you make?" Just look at it? ”

"Father, don't, if we miss this opportunity, we will be in real danger. If Qin Yude is defeated in the first battle of Nanyang, his lips will be cold, why should we hold Luoyang? Zhao Qianhui said urgently.

"Big brother, I know you're in a hurry to make meritorious contributions, but how can you make sure that this matter is indeed as we see in front of us, and not a trap set by him Qin Yude and Nan Bian?" Zhao Qianshun looked at him and asked.

Zhao Qianhui naturally couldn't answer this question, in fact, he was hesitant in his heart, just thinking about fighting it.

In the end, the only way to reply was to say, "If we miss the opportunity, aren't we just as dangerous?" ”

"At least we still have the strength to keep all this!" Zhao Qianshun said loudly, "And father, I thought we could take another look to confirm that Qin Yude really didn't mean to join forces with the south." ”

"What do you mean by that?"

"Just look at the battle of Nanyang. If he had only besieged and not attacked, the matter would have been debatable. But if the attack continues, or even takes Nanyang within a month, then you can be sure that he is trustworthy.

"After all, Nanyang is an important place in Liangzhou and even the Central Plains, even if it is laid out, it is impossible to use such a city in the south.

"In addition, the current Nanyang garrison is not too much, with Qin Yude's 100,000 people, if you want to break through its city, you should have more than eighty percent certainty!"

These words are reasonable, and the advance and retreat are in his own control, so after Zhao Guangxiao thought about it, he nodded again and again.

Still, he asked for the advice of others: "What do you think? ”

This time, even Zhao Qianhui failed to raise an objection, and the others had no opinion, and they all said that it was the best way, and it was an old method.

Principal Zhao Guang let out a sigh: "Then let's wait and see what the outcome of the battle of Nanyang will be!" ”

The plan was set, and the people on the Luoyang side naturally settled down, planning to wait and see the trend of the war in Nanyang.

And for this reason, they naturally sent fast horse scouts to grasp the specific process of the Nanyang battle faster and in more detail.

Then, only a few days later, in October, the Nanyang war was only about ten days, and a news that shocked everyone came back - on the second day of October, Nanyang City, which should have been defended to the end, suddenly collapsed, and the 20,000 defenders in the city took the road away, but they abandoned the city's grain and grass materials, as well as hundreds of thousands of people. 33

Naturally, these things and populations all fell into the hands of Kaifeng Qin Yude's department!

When he heard this result, Zhao Guangxiao was stunned for a long time, and his reaction was more intense than when he heard that Qin Yude led the army to attack, and his mood at this time he didn't know whether he was happy or worried.

Some people died, but not completely......
