Chapter 143: Soldiers Coming to the City
Luoyang, the Imperial Palace, Ji Rui is grinding back and forth in the main hall, without the slightest trace of the emperor's majesty. While spinning, his mouth was still muttering: "How can this be? This Yang Wei really dares to rebel?"
Dong Zhuo stood beside him, his face was also unusually ugly, and behind him stood a strategist about thirty years old, with a thin appearance and a hint of shrewdness in his eyes. But now he can't see it, because he is keeping his head down, and he doesn't dare to come out.
Ji Rui suddenly stopped, his eyes were red, he pointed at the strategist behind Dong Zhuo, and said: "Li Ru! This idea is yours, you let me ascend the throne first, and when I have the name of righteousness, Yang Wei will give in! But now? Yang Wei directly killed Luoyang, and the two million army also slowly approached Luoyang! At that time, Luoyang City will be broken, and none of us will want to live!"
Dong Zhuo was dumbfounded and shouted, "That's enough!" This voice scared Ji Rui into a tremble. Ji Rui is still pointing at Dong Zhuo, no matter how arrogant Dong Zhuo is, he must tolerate it, because he only has Dong Zhuo to rely on now, and as for whether he can rely on it, he deliberately ignored it.
Dong Zhuo continued: "Don't blame Wen You for this matter, Yang Wei used to be loyal to Da Yue, who would have thought that he would be pretending, and he would turn his face when he said that he would turn his face, no one could predict this in advance, if you want to blame him, you can only blame him for being too good at acting, and he confused that person, and even said that he was the first loyal minister of Da Yue?" After speaking, he spat on the hall with a mouthful of thick phlegm, but Ji Rui turned a blind eye and let Dong Zhuo be presumptuous.
Li Ru opened his mouth and said: "Things have not reached the worst point, Yang Wei dares to rebel, others may not dare to rebel." The emperor can write a holy decree and ask Lu Zhi to explain the situation, it is possible that they are just over the war and return to Luoyang to report on their work, but they are in the same direction as Yang Wei, if so, they are not only not enemies, but also a super force on our side, with their help, what is Yang Wei?"
When he said this, even he didn't believe it. If this was the case, Lu Zhi should have sent a fast horse back to Luoyang to report the victory, which was definitely not the current state. But he didn't believe it himself, but Ji Rui did, and Ji Rui immediately laughed, clapped his hands, and said: "Yes, it must be so! General Lu will never do anything to rebel against Dayue! It must be so!"
Li Ru had to pour cold water on him, he was afraid that if this was not the case, Ji Rui would go crazy and operate on him, and this possibility would be infinitely close to 100%. It was he who added: "Even if this is not the case, the emperor does not have to worry, as long as the capital is moved to Chang'an, connected with Xiliang, and the entire Liangzhou is backed by, they have nothing to do!"
Ji Rui was even more happy, and laughed: "Youwen You solves problems for me, the more worry-free!"
Dong Zhuo glanced at Xi Rui with disdain, this kid really can't be compared with Emperor Wen, but he doesn't want to think about it, how could Emperor Wen allow him to be so carefree and so presumptuous! Dong Zhuo said with a big grin: "I'm going to inspect the city defense, Yang Wei is already approaching Luoyang, and the city defense must not be relaxed!" After speaking, he strode towards the outside of the hall.
Ji Rui hugged his fists and said: "There is Taishi Lao!" Where does Ji Rui have the slightest dignity of the emperor now, like Dong Zhuo's filial son and grandson. Dong Zhuo ignored him at all and walked out without looking back.
Ji Rui froze there with his fists clenched like this, and when the hall was quiet, Ji Rui smiled, retracted his fist holding posture, and a trace of anger flashed in his eyes. He secretly swore that when the overall situation was certain, he would be the first to get rid of this guy who had no king.
He slowly walked back to the dragon chair, tidied up his clothes, sat upright, and shouted outside the tent: "Someone!" A little eunuch ran in and said respectfully: "Your Majesty!"
Yang Wei stood under Luoyang City, his brows furrowed, he was extremely familiar with Luoyang, and even every grass and tree here, this place can be said to be his second hometown. But now, things are still there, people are no longer there. Thinking of Emperor Wen's love for him before, he felt sad for a while, and when he thought that Zhang Zhi was still in prison, he was angry and wanted to go crazy, but he was helpless.
Because the city of Luoyang is so strong, it is by no means something that his 20,000 people can capture, and his army is good at field warfare, not siege, and the siege of the city is to use the soldier's surname as the price.
He had already tested whether the sleeve bag could hold a living animal, but to his disappointment, he caught a hare with his own hands on the way, and the moment he put it in the sleeve pocket, the hare exploded, and it really exploded, leaving only the skeleton and a pile of minced meat. His opportunistic idea was shattered in an instant, and he could only attack the city honestly, but how could he fight this!
With the help of Taoism's secret passage to enter the city, he thought about it, but he couldn't do this, Taoism and the Dayue court were mortal enemies. He can't expose the big secrets of Taoism because of the affairs of the Dayue court, and his master Ling Xiaozi will definitely not agree. He still didn't know that Ling Xiaozi had hooked up with Ji Chang and had done so many earth-shattering things!
The city is also very tense, although they have 50,000 troops defending the city, and there are 100,000 Xiliang troops in the city, a full 150,000 troops can be used to defend, which is more than seven times that of Yang Wei's army.
But the name of the person, the shadow of the tree, Yang Wei has never been defeated since he abandoned the military and led the army to fight, and he has won more with less, and the combat power of the town [***] has been spread by the outside world like a heavenly soldier, and non-human beings can resist it. Yang Wei's 20,000 people stopped outside Luoyang City, and the defenders on the Luoyang city wall were all as white as earth, and their hearts were worried.
Especially when they saw a young man wearing a white Confucian suit and a white horse standing in front of the army, although they couldn't see their faces, they also knew that this was the Yang Wei Yang Captain who retreated from the barbarians with one arrow, broke Bocai, Pingwan City, and saved Emperor Wen, and now he was coming to Luoyang City with the mighty army of the great victory over the barbarians, how could they not be worried.
If they knew that Yang Wei had almost killed 300,000 people with his own strength, he would definitely be able to scare a few to death on the spot. Those who are not scared to death are considered bold, and they have to turn around and run, they can't take care of any city defense, and nothing is as important as their own lives. If Luoyang is really won like this, it will really make Yang Wei break the historical record, and Luoyang will also become the first Jiancheng to be frightened.
Ji Rui is not panicking now, the messenger has returned, and Lu Zhi's reply has also reached his hands, it really can't be done, he agreed to Lu Zhi's request, in fact, he is now eager for Lu Zhi to come in immediately and kill Dong Zhuo's hateful guy.
Ji Rui ruined Lu Zhi's reply and didn't let Dong Zhuo see it, but Li Ru also guessed the result from Ji Rui's abnormality, so they wouldn't let Ji Rui get his wish, and when the time came, they would also tie up the wolf-hearted emperor to Chang'an. Dong Zhuo knew that it would be difficult to hold Luoyang, and Lu Zhi's army would also participate in the battle against Luoyang, two million against 150,000, and there was no suspense in the result.
