On the fifth day of the first month, at noon.

From Sichuan and Shu back to the vast mountains of the Central Plains, there is a team of more than 1,000 people who are moving all the way forward on the Shu road that was dug and paved by hundreds of thousands of years.

This huge army was the local official army that returned to the Central Plains from Sichuan and Shu with His Majesty Sun Ning, Emperor Dayue.

Near Chinese New Year's Eve, when Sun Ning had reported that the main force of the Pingtian Army in Luoyang had confronted the imperial army in the Xingyang area, he knew that his plan had finally succeeded.

Why the imperial court, which had already occupied an absolute advantage before, had no way to take Luoyang Zhao Guangxiao, was that the other party always defended the city, and with the high walls of the city, it took advantage of the geographical advantage, so that the Vietnamese army had no way to deal with them.

After all, in Zhao Guangxiao's hands, they are all the most defensible and difficult to attack cities in the Central Plains with a fairly high strategic position. Luoyang, Xingyang and other cities, if there were no hundreds of thousands of troops who spent a year or even years besieging and fighting, it would be impossible to take them at all.

Moreover, Luoyang is the capital of the Great Yue Kingdom, and it is impossible for the imperial court to capture this fortified city at the cost of destroying the entire city. Therefore, the war situation in the Central Plains fell into a dull confrontation, and even Sun Ning, the emperor, had no intention of staying here, but ran to Sichuan and Shu.

But now, with the success of the plan to lure the enemy, Zhao Guangxiao really took the initiative to attack and start a decisive battle with the Vietnamese army, although the result has not yet appeared, Sun Ning can already guess the direction, so he set off to return to the Central Plains.

At this time, he didn't have to worry that the fact that he was safe and sound would be noticed by the enemy spies or something, so as to repay the Pingtian army.

Because their armies have already been opened, and the decisive battle has begun, even if they know that it is a plan, they are afraid that they can only fight to the death. Even, there is a greater possibility that the Pingtian Army will not be able to survive this information delivery at all, and they have already lost in the final decisive battle with the Vietnamese army, so they guessed that all this was a ploy of the imperial court.

It was precisely because he was sure that everything could not be changed that Sun Ning dared to leave Sichuan and Shu with great fanfare.

It's just that this plank road out of the river has still become the biggest obstacle for him to return to the Central Plains as soon as possible - the peaks on both sides are as steep as swords inserting into the sky, and the feet are only one person wide, and in many places there are even stone paths that only allow people to pass sideways, as well as the abyss two steps away, all of which make everyone have to be cautious and dare not speed up.

In this way, Sun Ning could only press the mood of eagerly wanting to return to the Central Plains, slowed down his pace, and kept moving forward, only hoping to get out of this difficult Shu Road as soon as possible.

Just as the whole army slowly moved forward and walked another way, there was a sudden commotion in the front team, and then someone quickly reported: "Your Majesty, there is an urgent report from the scout from the Xingyang battlefield, do you want to see it?"

Sun Ning was stunned at first when he heard this, and then he was overjoyed, this result came earlier than he had judged. In his mind, he had to wait until he left Sichuan and Shu before he could receive the first good news.

It's good now, it will take at least two to three days to enter the Huguang realm, but the battle report has already been delivered.

At that moment, he raised his hand: "Let him send it over, and the whole army will rest for a while."

A moment later, a dusty scout quickly came, and when he came to Sun Ning, he first bowed down and bowed, and then took out the battle report he had with him, held it high above the top, and played loudly: "Your Majesty, Xingyang good news." Outside Xingyang, the heavenly soldiers of our court broke the 150,000 people of the rebel Pingtian Army Zhao Guang's school headquarters, and killed more than 30 people including the rebel generals Zhao Qianhui and Luo Qin on the spot, killed more than 40,000 enemies and captured more than 50,000 prisoners......

When he told the news of the victory in a neutral voice, all the soldiers around him who had just stopped fell into a brief silence.

Even Sun Ning was stunned for a moment. He thought that there would be a big victory this time, but the scale and results of this great victory were too big, and it completely exceeded his expectations.

It should be an exaggeration to say that Luoyang's Pingtian army has 150,000, but even if this number is real, this great victory and the combination of the enemy and the prisoners will reach an astonishing number of 100,000...... This cannot be regarded as a big destruction of the enemy army, but a complete destruction of Zhao Guangxiao's family for many years.

Even if you don't mention Zhao Qianzhe's son, and the death of more than 30 generals, Zhao Guangxiao and the Pingtian Military Institute

The amount of damage inflicted, such a number of casualties alone, was enough to completely collapse the remaining rebels. Even if they flee back to Luoyang, I am afraid that it will be impossible to hold on to resist.

As for Xingyang and other cities, they are no longer in Sun Ning's consideration at this time, under such a big defeat, all the soldiers of the Pingtian Army will only flee back to their hometown, how can anyone defend Xingyang and other cities that are no longer so important and will inevitably be lost?

Therefore, what is waiting for him to go back is Luoyang, the capital of Dayue!

After Sun Ning quickly understood what this good news meant to him, to the court, and to the world, the surrounding team of people who fell into silence finally reacted.

For a while, the cheers spread from near to far, to the front and back, and finally this winding plank road for more than ten miles was occupied by the loud cheers of the soldiers.

In the loud cheers, even some of the gravel and sand in the mountains above were shaken and fell a lot.

Sun Ning had already settled down at this time, took out the battle report that was tightly wrapped in oiled paper and other materials, and had fire paint marks on it, and looked at it carefully.

It was only at this time that he fully understood how Yan Hu achieved great results in this battle, and almost completely annihilated the main force of the Pingtian Army.

"Show the enemy weakness, lure the enemy deeper, and then crush the enemy's fighting spirit with defensive counterattacks, and cut off the enemy's rear with cavalry on both wings, so as to form an encirclement ......" Sun Ning read this battle report without much exaggeration and rhetoric at a glance, the smile on his face was even bigger, and he immediately nodded and praised, "Yanhu now has the style of an ancient famous general!"

Indeed, although Sun Ning created an extremely favorable enemy destroying fighter for him and guided him from the overall strategy, whether he can achieve the goal in the end and how much success he can achieve depends on Yan Hu's on-the-spot command and improvisation.

And the answer sheet he handed over to Sun Ning is obviously quite good.

In addition, as written in the battle report, after breaking the enemy army in a frontal decisive battle, Yanhu had already sent troops to bite its defeated army and take Xingyang directly. Although when the battle report was issued, they had not really taken Xingyang, but judging from the results at that time, it was inevitable to take Xingyang City.

Seeing this, Sun Ning nodded even more, as long as Xingyang is taken, there will be no obstacles to the west of Luoyang, and other small cities are not worth mentioning, and it is only a matter of time before they are obtained by the imperial court.

In other words, next, Luoyang will become a lonely city, just waiting for himself to get it.

This made him feel very good, and he was even more eager to return to the Central Plains and go to Luoyang. I can't wait to grow wings at this time, and I will fly over at once.

"Spread my will, set off immediately, return to the Central Plains as soon as possible, and rush to Luoyang by chariot and horse!"

With Sun Ning's order, the cheering team moved forward again, much faster than before. Under such an inspiring good news, the difficult Shu Road here is no longer a problem.

But just as the team continued to move forward along the Shu Road, suddenly, a rumbling sound came from overhead, and in an instant, a mountain rock fell like thunder, smashing towards many soldiers and horses......
