In September of the second year of Yuanwu of the Tang Dynasty, Bianliang City.

Emperor Wei Sinian of Yu and the nobles of the Khitan tribe really realized the seriousness of the matter, and the autumn in Bianliang came late, and it seemed that there was still a warm summer sun in September.

First of all, the Tang army was blocked in Hangu Pass by the commander of the palace commander, the general of the Tang Dynasty, and the Marquis of Suiyang, and the 300,000 Yu army invaded the territory of Hongnong County of the Tang State. At that time, although some ministers were worried about the Tang army's counterattack, on the whole, the Tang army still retreated westward after the attack.

Then the Tang army sent troops from Luhun Pass, crossed the Tang-Henan border, and attacked Yique Pass, the court of Yuguo still thought that the Tang army just wanted to share the pressure of Hangu Pass.

But when the Tang army transferred as many as 200,000 infantry cavalry troops to Yique Pass, the situation began to escalate and became serious.

Now the elite of the Yu army has been exhausted and launched a national war, but it is still impossible to capture Hangu Pass. The Tang army stormed Yique Pass, and at the same time mobilized the Tang army of Bingzhou and Jizhou to go south, which was a sign of a full-scale war, and the Yu State at this time had reached a situation where it could not end up and step down.

After the Emperor Wei Sinian summoned the important ministers of the Yu State, he was silent for a long time, and finally said, "Now the Marquis of Suiyang has been defeated at Yique Pass, and his whereabouts are unknown. Zhu Hai, the commander of Henan County and the left general, and Li Li, the general who stayed behind in Luoyang, were all captured by the Tang army. I thought that the guards Ma Bu and the pro-army were all commanding Zhang Liang to guard Luoyang, which should be more suitable than Pang Xun, the commander of Luoyang Town, so I appointed Zhang Liang as the county guard of Henan on the same day."

Everyone in the hall listened to the emperor's words and remained silent, at this time, Luoyang was a lonely city. What can they say when they stand up? They could not say anything, they just bowed and said, "Your Majesty is wise!"

However, Wei Sinian seemed to feel that it was not enough, and then said: "The guards and infantry are all Yu Marquis Li De, and they are sealed to stay in Luoyang. Pang Xun, the envoy of the town of Luoyang, gave him the title of Marquis."

At the end, Wei Sinian looked at the ministers who looked like clay sculptures and asked, "Now that there are hundreds of thousands of Tang troops under Luoyang City, what is your best strategy to protect Luoyang City?"

After bowing to Wei Sinian, the emperor of Yu State, he said, "Your Majesty, the elite of my Yu Kingdom has been newly mourned, the remnants of the army are defeated, and their morale is low, which is no longer enough to resist the attack of the Tang army. Please ask Your Majesty for help from Jing State, Yi State and Xu State. Explain the interests and disadvantages to the three countries, promise heavy benefits to the three countries, and invite the three countries to send troops."

Wei Sinian had no idea at this time, he felt that Li Huaida's method was a way, and he couldn't wait to say: "What the elder said is extremely true, quasi-play, please ask the elder to send someone who can speak well and think quickly to send an envoy to the Three Kingdoms."

Li Huaida replied, "The minister obeys the order."

The privy envoy Song Xuan went out of the class and said: "Your Majesty, now that our Yu country is short of troops, it is really difficult to draw troops to support Luoyang, so the ministers ask to play and transfer the 50,000 reinforcements sent out to the revolving gate pass to garrison. As long as the revolving door is closed, Bianliang will have no worries."

Li Huaida listened to the words of the privy envoy Song Xuan, and hurriedly objected: "Your Majesty, the privy envoy is wrong in saying this, Luoyang City is the seat of Henan County, and Henan County is the western barrier of Chenliu County. If you lose Luoyang City, Henan County will not be protected. If Henan County is lost, Chenliu County will not be protected. If Chen Liujun is not protected, Bianliang City will be in danger."

The privy envoy Song Xuan couldn't help but say, "Elder Li Ge, the 50,000 Yu army is not worth mentioning to the Tang army at all, as long as there is a big battle, it can be destroyed. Moreover, these 50,000 Yu troops are even two ways to say whether they can get close to Luoyang City. It's better to put it at the revolving gate to deal with the unfavorable situation after the loss of Luoyang City."

Li Huaida immediately said: "It is related to the rise and fall of my Yu country, how can the privy envoy be so timid, 50,000 reinforcements, all of them are palace guards, well-equipped and capable. Your Majesty, the old minister thought that they would definitely be able to break through the encirclement of the Tang army and enter the city of Luoyang."

The privy envoy Song Miao was really speechless, and he didn't know if this Li Ge was really confused or pretending to be confused. Can the palace guards be trusted? If during the founding of the Yu State, the palace guards, as the personal guards of the Emperor of the Yu State, were indeed strong, and they once defeated the cavalry of the Ji State and the Yong State with foot cavalry.

But that was a lot of years ago, and for so many years, the palace guards have become a place for civil and military officials to gild their own unscrupulous children. The combat effectiveness of the palace guards has long been different from the original group of people. Pointing to the 50,000 palace guards

To break through the encirclement of the Tang army, it is better to count on 50,000 pigs.

But Song Miao couldn't say this, he really didn't know how to explain this matter to Wei Sinian. At this time, Yuguo is facing life and death, and at this time, the pit of the palace guards will be opened, and it is very likely that he will die in the end. This kind of thankless thing, Song Miao doesn't do it.

Wei Sinian looked at Song Xuan, who was silent, turned his head to look at Li Huaida, and said, "What the elder said is reasonable, the palace guards, as the top combat power of my Yu country, cannot retreat. For the sake of the Yu Kingdom, they must advance towards the city of Luoyang, and in normal times they are scrambling to serve me and the Yu Kingdom, and now is the time for them to show their loyalty and bravery."

The court of Yu decided the matter, and soon came to the 50,000 reinforcements of the Yu State. The main generals of the reinforcements were Captain Du Ma and Zhang Zhan, Marquis of Pingqiu.

At this time, he looked at the holy decree in front of him, desperately suppressing the urge to tear it apart. The holy decree clearly states that 50,000 reinforcements from the Yu State composed of palace guards must rise up and attack the Tang army besieging Luoyang City with all their might. It is necessary to tear a gap, rush into Luoyang City, and join Zhang Liang, Li De and Pang Xun in the city.

Zhang Zhan couldn't help but scolded after all: "Your Majesty, his old man is dizzy, how could he make such a will?"

When the staff standing on the side heard their master say such a thing, they nervously hurried a few steps to the door of the tent, poked their heads out to observe, and then took a long breath and said to Zhang Zhan, "Master, what are you doing so angry?"

The staff already knew the content of the holy decree, and still said tepidly, "Lord, Your Majesty's holy decree is already a rush to the doctor. Your Majesty is afraid that he has forgotten the ability of the guards in the 50,000 palaces. But you know very well, how many of the 50,000 palace guards are impostors? How could those civil and military *** disciples be sent over and sent to Luoyang City to die?"

Zhang Zhan's face turned red with anger, and he said angrily, "It's human nature to be afraid that your child will lose her life. Let my own slaves take over, and I won't say anything. But what kind of garbage do they send? The skinny, the fat pigs, and the old teeth are gone, do they think Lao Tzu is a garbage recycling station? Send these wastes that are not welcomed and useless in their own house here, how can Lao Tzu win the Tang Army with such a group of garbage?"

The staff member sighed and immediately asked, "Master, you don't really want to run to Luoyang City and fight against the Tang Army, do you?"

Zhang Zhan said angrily, "Of course I don't want to, but the Holy Purpose is here, what can I do?"

The staff said, "Master, Your Majesty is also in a hurry, if he really loses Luoyang, he will not be able to explain it to the people of Yuguo. Your Majesty is probably trying to scapegoat you. If you enter Luoyang City, you will be accused of being stationed in Luoyang and losing your territory. If you don't make it to Luoyang City, you will be accused of ineffective rescue, entrapment of friendly troops, and misleading the country and trouble."

Zhang Zhan nodded and said, "Maybe that's the case. Now I can't take care of it, and Luoyang City must not be lost. The country of Yu now only has a territory of thousands of miles, if the city of Yuyang is lost, the country of Yu will not be far from destruction, and the situation will be depressed at that time, and it will be difficult to reverse."

Although Zhang Zhan said it righteously, the staff saw that his words were insincere, and they also had a judgment in their hearts. This master of his own family is ready to take the second way, procrastination. As long as it is dragged to the fall of Luoyang City, then the responsibility of his master's family is to delay the military aircraft, and the most serious punishment is to cut off his official position and title, and degrade him as a civilian. It's much better than going to Ruoyang City and losing your life.
