Luoyang's side has been vigorously armed, and several important cities have been properly guarded.

But to their surprise, the movement of the Vietnamese army suddenly slowed down again.

Yes, it seemed that it was menacing, and it seemed that the Vietnamese army, which wanted to take the city as quickly as possible in October and the moon, was like last year's attack on the blockade, but after sending troops, the speed of the march suddenly slowed down.

Especially for the soldiers and horses of the two cities of Xingyang and Luoyang, according to the scouts on the front line, their marching speed was only a pitiful thirty miles.

According to this calculation, after ten days, the Vietnamese army may not be able to reach the two cities and pose any real threat to the city.

What kind of medicine was sold in the gourd of the Vietnamese army made the people of Luoyang and others confused for a while.

Could it be that they had expected what kind of reaction Luoyang would make, so they deliberately delayed the time, thus depleting the food and morale of the Pingtian Army?

Many people made such a conjecture, but soon, this conjecture was dismissed by Zhao Qianhui in public: "Don't forget, in fact, the longer it drags on for us, the more beneficial it will be. After all, we still have reinforcements, if we really wait until half a month later to fight, Chang'an's soldiers and horses will also arrive."

This is indeed true, because earlier, as Zhao Guangxiao lowered his posture and understood the truth of the cold lips and teeth, Li Wannian of Chang'an really promised the two sides to join forces to resist the Vietnamese army this time.

That is to say, now that the Vietnamese army has launched an offensive against Luoyang, and the news has spread to Guanlong, it will not be long before Li Wannian of Chang'an will also send troops and horses. Half a month was enough for them to cut off the rear route of the Vietnamese army with a large army and inflict heavy losses on them.

After understanding this, everyone really relaxed, so it seems that the victory in this battle must belong to our Pingtian Army.

Zhao Qianhui also thought so, so when he returned to his house on the evening of the seventh day of the fourth lunar month, he still behaved quite complacently, and smiled at Guan Chongyue, who was sitting there contemplating: "Mr. Guan is really thoughtful, I said it in public before, and my father and other soldiers are relieved."

After listening to his words of approval, Guan Chongyue only nodded slightly, and did not say anything more.

This made Zhao Qianhui puzzled: "Mr. Guan, what are you thinking?"

"I'm thinking about it below, the Vietnamese army has even opened Liangzhou over the years, and has pocketed Lianghuai, Lianghu and Liangzhou, but there has never been a bit of repetition, from this point it can be seen that Sun Ning and the courtiers below have real skills.

"Whether it is fighting with soldiers or governing the place, they are all outstandingly capable, and even if they say something offensive, they are still above the general."

Although Zhao Qianhui was a little unhappy when he heard this, he couldn't refute it, after all, facts speak louder than words, and the recent situation of the Dayue Imperial Court is indeed as he said.

"So I feel that the current situation is a little strange. Obviously, they are all shrewd people who are good at using soldiers, why are they full of flaws in the use of troops in Luoyang this time?

"There may be an explanation for dividing the troops into the Tiger Prison Pass, but isn't the sudden and slow march now creating more trouble for themselves? If something goes wrong, there must be a demon."

Zhao Qianhui's brows also quickly wrinkled with these words, and the more he thought about it, the more doubts and uneasiness became in his heart. After a while, he looked at the other party fixedly: "Mr. Guan, what do you think they are plotting?"

"It's hard to say, is it to lure out the soldiers and horses of Chang'an? Their real target has always been Guan Long over there?" Guan Chongyue suddenly came up with such a statement, but Zhao Qianhui was at a loss.

But then, he himself shook his head and denied this conjecture: "Impossible, even if Li Wannian really sent troops to rescue, he would not hollow out the entire Guanlong soldiers and horses. And he has been operating there for many years, and it has long been entrenched, not to mention that it is difficult for the Vietnamese army to find an opportunity to attack the pass from the more dangerous Tongguan line, even if they really kill it, they also have the space and means to retreat the enemy.

"So where did their plan fall, and what did I overlook?"

Zhao Qianhui was completely confused after he said it so around.

He even had a thought, could it be

The other side thinks about the enemy too complicated. Could the sudden delay of the Vietnamese army this time be due to problems in his army, such as years of war, which made the soldiers lose their enterprising spirit, or where is there chaos in the south?

Before Zhao Qianhui could say his shallow thoughts, a confidant hurriedly came to the door of the room and said urgently, "Master, the general has sent someone to invite you, saying that you have something important to discuss."

"Huh?" Looking at the dark sky outside, Zhao Qianhui's heart suddenly froze, and he faintly felt that something big had happened, perhaps related to the suddenly strange Vietnamese army.

He didn't dare to slack off at the moment, and immediately went out, but before he took two steps, Guan Chongyue also hurriedly caught up: "Go with Gongzi below, it's better to figure out this situation as soon as possible."

After a while, Zhao Qianhui returned to the General's Mansion.

He was accompanied by other important generals, who, like him, looked puzzled, and did not understand why the general had suddenly summoned everyone.

When they saw Colonel Zhao Guang, everyone found that his expression was extremely solemn, and then without waiting for everyone to ask, he had already opened his mouth automatically: "Just now, there was an urgent report from the Tiger Prison Pass, saying that the Vietnamese army in the east suddenly turned around and went to Ludi a few days ago."

Everyone was stunned on the spot when they heard this, this change really surprised everyone, and people couldn't react for a while.

"At first, Wu Xunhong thought that this was a strategy by the Vietnamese army to lure him out of the customs, so he held it for a few more days, but secretly sent scouts to pay more attention.

"Then it wasn't until early this morning that people from Ludi fled, saying that the Vietnamese army suddenly sent troops to attack the cities in Ludi, and in a short period of time, they had taken more than a dozen cities."

After a long silence, someone finally exclaimed, "This is the real goal of the Vietnamese army. It turns out that they didn't send troops to our Luoyang this time, the soldiers and horses who came to my Luoyang and Xingyang are clearly suspicious soldiers, and the real elite is to take Ludi."

"It's such a good calculation, completely killing everyone by surprise."

"Moreover, once Ludi is annexed by them, it will completely squeeze our cities in Luoyang into this area!"

As everyone exclaimed, the expressions of everyone below Zhao Guangxiao became more and more solemn, because they suddenly found that they had been completely deceived by the Vietnamese army, and it seemed that the situation was even worse than they imagined.
