After Luo Xiao and Zhang Jiao had a conversation, Zhang Jiao figured out something, swept away his previous worries, and became energetic again.

Luo Xiao felt a little more weight on his body, and it seemed that something had fallen on him.

If you are an ordinary person, I am afraid that you will start to worry about the reason.

But Luo Xiao is different, in his opinion, Emperor Su will not harm him.

As long as the king of the elements does not make a move, what if it is the sky?

It's just that the soldiers are coming to block it, and the water is coming to cover it.

Ji Zhao's gaze fell on Luo Xiao, and he had a hunch that this new son of the family's destiny would make a career that the family had never seen before, in a way that no one could imagine.

……

Zhang Jiao changed his previous practice of preparing to plunder land everywhere, and instead led the Taiping army to cross the river, enter Hanoi, and attack Luoyang directly, and at the same time besiege Yingchuan and other counties around Luoyang, cutting off Luoyang's connection with the outside world.

For the Taipings, there was no most suitable way to win.

The Taiping Army crisscrossed the prefectures and counties, but in fact, the Taiping Army had the main force of combat effectiveness, and also did not divide troops into the counties and townships.

In this case, Zhang Jiao led 150,000 Taiping troops to attack Luoyang, and the imperial court must have been terrified.

The emperor and the ministers, who were afraid of death, must be afraid, and will recruit a large number of troops to defend Luoyang.

In the panicked scheduling of the imperial court, there will be countless flaws.

It may not be impossible to defeat the main force of the forbidden army of the Han court and knock the Han court into the abyss just like Xiang Yu defeated the main force of the Qin army in Hebei back then.

Of course, the premise of all this is that Zhang Jiao's ability is strong enough.

Does Zhang Jiao have this ability?

Luo Xiao thinks that he doesn't, Zhang Jiao's military ability is not bad, but he is an excellent community leader, and if he wants to fight that kind of immortal battle, he is still far behind.

However, looking at Zhang Jiao's confident look, Luo Xiao did not speak.

The sergeants of the Taiping Army knew that Zhang Jiao was going to attack the surrounding counties of Luoyang, and they were all excited, after all, Shangluo killed the emperor and the princess was their heartfelt wish.

The Taiping army led by Zhang Jiao is known as more than 100,000, and the momentum is high, but in fact, the elite who can fight tough battles is only worth tens of thousands, and the Taiping army is sent between Jizhou and Youzhou, and the cavalry is not particularly lacking.

The slightly chaotic Taiping army gathered under the flags of all sides, the west wind was fierce, the flags were fluttering, and the field was a little chaotic, but the atmosphere was full of solemnity and solemnity.

Zhang Jiao made people put the sacrificial objects one by one, and slowly drew out the sharp sword, in the Han Dynasty, there was no expedition not to sacrifice the soldier Xiang Yu, but also to sacrifice heaven and earth, in order to do justice.

The Taiping army is doing the right thing for heaven, eliminating tyranny, and not doing something magnificent, doesn't it think it is a thief?

Looking at the armies under the high platform, Zhang Jiao said proudly: "Brothers, we were originally diligent and good people, preaching good ways, but now we are holding a sharp blade and want to kill Han Ting!"

The Han court accused us of being thieves, and this disaster caused the world to have to rebel against yin and yang, wasn't it the minister and the emperor who sat in Luoyang?

The sage said, "Repay your grievances with a straight voice!"

Isn't it natural for us to wait for the army to go to Luo now?

Heaven has issued an edict, and we have shouldered a heavy responsibility, and the mandate of the Han court is coming to an end, and it is in our hands.

Cross the river into Luoyang! ”

The wind was fierce, the flag was shaking, and countless shouts came from under the high platform, "Cross the river!" Crossing! ”

The Taiping army under the high platform, the clothes on their bodies are still the sackcloth they wore when they were farming, and there are holes everywhere, but there is infinite hope on their faces.

The momentum is fierce, as if the sky is breaking through the clouds.

Luo Xiao felt that Zhang Jiao glanced at him, with a smile and full of confidence.

……

Zhang Jiao unabashedly sent troops, and Han Ting naturally got the news, which instantly made the magnates of Luoyang City a little panicked, especially many people who were blocked in Luoyang City and could not return to the state and county.

Huangfu Song had just taken the Three Rivers Knight to Nanyang, preparing to pacify the Taiping Army in Jingzhou, but immediately received news that the imperial court was going to transfer him back to Hebei to fight against the thief Shou Zhangjiao, not only Huangfu Song, but also Zhu Jun and other brave commanders and generals who fought bravely were transferred to Hebei.

In the army, Huangfu Song was speechless, and he didn't know what was wrong with the Duke of Luoyang.

But of course he didn't dare to resist the decree, so he could only rush back and write to the emperor at the same time, saying, "Luoyang lives in the passes, as long as you guard the passes, it is impossible for the thief army to break into Luoyang, you can rest assured."

There are quite a lot of athletes in Hebei, You, and the three states, as long as the imperial court makes the state and county heroes recruit troops, it can be delayed, and when the rest of the states are pacified, they will attack from all sides, enter Hebei, and will be able to overcome the success. ”

But after the letter went up, Huangfu Song soon received Luoyang's reply, and the emperor and the secretary of state scolded Huangfu Song, "Luoyang is the heaviest in the world, and Wancheng, Wanjun and Wanzhou are not as good!"

You take Luoyang as bait, but there is a bad pool, the country collapses, it is really stupid, go to Hebei quickly, exterminate the thief army, don't say more! ”

These fierce words made Huangfu Song feel excited, he must have said the wrong thing, but he still didn't understand, how could there be a difference in Luoyang?

Wasn't Luoyang Baguan built in vain?

If Luoyang was so easily breached, no matter how great the resistance was, it would not be possible to be here.

As a commander with low political ability, Huangfu Song did not understand that Luoyang, as the capital, could not consider the problem from a military perspective, but should think about the problem from a political height.

From the commander-in-chief's point of view, no problem.

But from the perspective of the emperor and the minister, this is Huang Fu Song joking with their lives, and he didn't directly cut him down with a holy decree, or because Huang Fu Song is needed to fight now.

The lieutenant colonel asked with some concern: "General, there will be no accidents when this suddenly turns back to Hebei to fight, right?" ”

Huangfu Song frowned and sighed: "Of course, there is a disadvantage.

The general did not take the Taiping army in his eyes, the gap between them and the imperial court was too big, and it was a matter of time before they were defeated, but after this episode, the time to pacify the Taiping army was delayed again.

Now you can only calm Zhang Jiao first, and it is best to be able to capture and kill directly.

If Zhang Jiao died, the Taiping army would be leaderless, and the rest of the troops would fall into chaos, and perhaps the rebellion could also be quelled as soon as possible. ”

When everyone else was quite panicked, Huangfu Song was thinking about how to quickly and steadily quell the Taiping Dao rebellion.

……

The land of Hebei has always been a battle for soldiers, how many battles were fought here, and during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, how many large-scale battles were in Hebei.

The most famous is naturally the battle between the princes' alliance and the Qin army at the end of Qin, and the 300,000 Qin army lost in one battle.

The Qin Dynasty died in World War I!

Xiang Yu inherited the throne of heaven and was officially elected by the princes as the co-lord of the world.

Now when the Han Dynasty is in crisis, it is the land of Hebei again.

Countless armies gathered here, and the Han court recruited tens of thousands of people from the Three Rivers region and expanded them into the Yulin Tiger Ben.

The Qingzhou Taiping Army is also moving closer to Jizhou.

Huang Fu Song marched along the north bank of the river according to the order of the imperial court, he brought thousands of armor soldiers, and on the big river, countless money, food and supplies were following the army, which was Huang Fu Song's greatest confidence in defeating the Taiping army.

Although the Taiping army seems to be powerful, in fact, it is far from being comparable to the imperial court in terms of the number of mobilized people and the requisition of grain and grass.

He also suggested to the imperial court before that the heroes between the states and counties should each clear out the local Taiping army, but unfortunately the imperial court did not listen to his opinion, otherwise in his opinion, the raging Taiping army in the world could be pacified overnight.

As soon as I entered Jizhou, I saw the banner of the Taiping Army, "The world is peaceful!" ”

These four bright and dangling big characters fluttered above the flag, which was obviously a blessing, but it made Huangfu Song feel full of murder, because the Taiping Army was too peaceful, and they couldn't be too peaceful.

What made Huangfu Song's eyelids jump the most was that these Taiping troops had already arrived here, and he was able to see the Taiping army so quickly not because of the day and night march, but because the Taiping army was too close to Luoyang.

As long as you go west along the north bank of the river, and then break through the two ferries on the river, you can break into the Luoyang Basin, no wonder the Luoyang Secretary is in such a hurry to transfer himself back.

This was frightened by the momentum of the Taiping army.

Jizhou is so critical, there is no difference between Yanzhou and Yuzhou, but in the eyes of Huangfu Song, this is just a superficial crisis.

What does Xiongguan Dangerous Pass do?

It is at such a critical time that it comes into play!

For a commander like Huangfu Song, the map is not piece-by-piece, and the 500-mile plain and the 300-mile plain are meaningless, and the cavalry rushes down.

In Huangfu Song's eyes, only reaching a depth of thousands of miles can be regarded as strategic, because the depth of thousands of miles can be used for tactical arrangement, which can attack grain routes and raid camps.

As for the Xiongguan Danger, it is an insurmountable natural danger, a Xiongguan in hand, thousands of troops and horses are in vain.

As long as there are Luoyang Eight Passes, Huangfu Song thinks that Luoyang must be safe.

If guarding these passes can still make Luoyang fall, what level of waste is that!

Treating others with oneself is a problem that almost everyone will have.

Huangfu Song shook his head and stopped thinking about this, since he had seen the Taiping Army, he had to prepare for extermination.

Zhang Jiao began to watch the stars at night, he was going to do a big thing!
