Henan County Administration, Luoyang City.

At this time, it was already autumn, and Zhang Liang climbed to the head of Luoyang City, and his heart was full of emotion. Standing high on the top of the city, the flat earth outside the city seemed even more vast, and the sky seemed to be so low that it was within reach.

The clouds were not thick, and the brilliance of the sun behind the clouds brightened the clouds, dazzling in the middle, and the light spread out like ten thousand arrows, but it was even more magnificent. At this time, the golden light is like a judgment in the dark.

Zhang Liang looked at the water surface in the city for a long time and was silent, the water meandered to the east, the wind on the water surface blew sparkling, like the armor of thousands of troops and horses, along this water to the east, there were indeed thousands of troops and horses Tang army built the camp around the water. Zhang Liang imagined that the Tang army could reach Luoyang in one day by advancing along the Luoshui waterway.

According to the report of the spies, the Tang army used an abandoned city to build a new city between Gucheng and Luoyang. This new city is a large military camp and a large granary, and there are basically no people in it except for the people who repair the city; Therefore, there is no need to consider many livelihood problems of ordinary cities, otherwise it will not be able to be built in a few months.

Zhang Liang's palm slapped the green bricks on the wall stack a few times, making some trivial movements. Then he carefully patted the dirt off his hands, turned and walked down the wall.

As soon as I got off the city wall, I heard the dull sound of sawing wood in the city, and the craftsmen were still making catapults day and night. Zhang Liang inspected the city defense everywhere and met Li De.

Li De asked Zhang Liang to look at something in a government office.

Hollowed out with stone, stuffed with gunpowder, lit and thrown, it can explode.

Li De said: "Du Shuai, this is an object that my army got by chance when he fled back from the battlefield, and it is a new thing."

Zhang Liang picked it up and took a closer look, and said, "With such a small hole, I'm afraid it's not easy to hollow out the stone."

Li De nodded and said, "That's true."

As he spoke, he took out another broken bamboo tube and said to Zhang Liang, "Du Shuai, this is also what the Tang Army uses. This thing is what was on the battlefield and disrupted our army. You've seen that this thing is loud and smoky, but its range is far inferior to that of a crossbow, and it is slower."

Zhang Liang pondered for a while and felt that the Tang army's tactics of attacking Luoyang might not have changed much. But without foreign aid, it is only a matter of time before hundreds of thousands of troops are allowed to besiege Luoyang, and it is only a matter of time before it is captured.

After Zhang Liang patrolled, he wrote a note that night, reporting that the Tang army was about to attack Luoyang, and asked Bianliang to send troops to rescue.

He hoped that the Tang army would delay for a few more months, and in winter, when the weather was cold and frozen, the supply of the Tang army would be in trouble, and the pressure on the defense of Luoyang City would not be so great.

In September, early autumn, the plains are still green, and the weather is still very hot.

At this time, no one in the world questioned the news that the Tang army was going to attack Luoyang. The Tang army spent a lot of money, building a city in the west of Luoyang, and the army gathered in Henan County for several months, I am afraid it is not as simple as scaring people.

The capital of Jingguo, Linxiang City

Emperor Chu Anzhou of Jing convened his ministers to discuss the matter of sending troops north.

It was only at the end of the summer of this year that the Jing army withdrew from the Tang-Jing border, and it was to be dispatched again a month later, and the time of the return and forth also allowed the Tang army to occupy a favorable place. However, such a situation is not a blind toss, nor is it a mistake in decision-making.

It's really helpless, if more than 100,000 Jing troops are stranded at the border, the consumption of several months is unknown. The army of Jing is still on the border of Tang and Jing, and the Tang army will not dare to go to the vicinity of Luoyang to build a city recklessly, and the situation of Tang Jingyu is only a stalemate, except for the three parties to waste money and food together, there will be no result.

Chu Anzhou's face was expressionless, his hands were on his knees, he looked at the ministers below, and said nothing, his heart was hoping that the ministers would once again support him to raise troops to the north.

At this moment, the court has been divided into two factions. One faction is headed by Ling Yin Chengjun, and the other faction is headed by Mo Ao Yinxing. The civil and military officials followed the two and divided into two factions, not giving in to each other.

Yin Chengjun objected to Jing's involvement in the Tang-Yu War too deeply, because Jing's treasury could not support a large-scale war and needed time to accumulate strength.

Mo Ao Yinxing advocated helping Yu to resist the Tang State, and could not let the Tang State seize Henan County, once it was formed

If it becomes such a situation, then it will become that the north and west of Jing are the land of Tang State. Moreover, if the Tang State destroys the Yu State, then the Jing State will become the next target of the Tang State to attack.

Seeing Ling Yin Chengjun's side, someone suggested: "Your Majesty, you can follow the story of the Tang Jing border at the beginning of the year, and use light cavalry elite soldiers to go north and attack and threaten the Tang army to besiege the city.

Mo Ao Yin Xing side, and someone immediately objected: "This time, that time. At the beginning of the year, small units of the Tang Army continued to harass China's borders, and we responded with light cavalry and entered the territory of the Tang State to attack and harass, which was a tooth for a tooth.

In the summer, the Tang army marched eastward into the territory of Yu and hung alone outside the Yique Pass, while the army of our Jing State was already gathering, and Keri was heading north, which posed a great threat to the Tang army.

And now, the Tang army's defensive line is only a day's journey away from Luoyang City, and it is not easy to force the Tang army back with a small group of elite soldiers."

Chu Anzhou turned his gaze to Bowanghou and Zhenbei General Ling Huyi.

Linghu overflowed out of the column and bowed to Chu Anzhou, "Please be the vanguard, but Your Majesty can send a large army to the north afterwards before fighting the Tang army."

At this moment, the atmosphere in the palace was not quite right, and it was not the same as before, and everyone shouted angrily and shouted to kill. Most of the people were silent, because they had experienced it from the battlefield in the summer north, and this kind of war did not get any substantial benefits, but they had to lose their old capital, and the Jing Kingdom was not very rich at this time.

Everyone discussed, Yuguo couldn't help but support, and Luoyang couldn't help it. In the end, everyone in the temple reluctantly reached an agreement.

Chu Anzhou decreed: "First go north with light cavalry, and plan for the defenders of Yu to hold on to Luoyang, and then send a large army to the north to delay the war until winter."

Chu Anzhou then ordered: "With Bowanghou and Zhenbei General Ling Huyi as the vanguard, lead 10,000 elite soldiers of the Linxiang Forbidden Army, select 20,000 cavalry from the left and right Yulin Army, and go north as soon as possible to reinforce the Yu army to defend the city."

Linghu Yi bowed down to receive the order.

Chu Anzhou didn't dare to transfer all the Janissaries in Linxiang, the Linxiang Janissaries were the trump card in his hands, and if they were all transferred, Linxiang City would be empty. If there is no strength around him, he is not sure.

Chu Anzhou sat in the chair, looked at the ministers on both sides, and looked at their faces, as if guessing what kind of heart each person was carrying

Ling Hu Yi said hatefully: "Your Majesty is relieved, after the minister leads his troops north, he must teach the Tang army a lesson."

Ling Huyi's words were not only to assure the emperor, but also to the people present, saving some people from looking down on people because of their little defeat at the beginning of the year

Chu Anzhou praised: "Very good, Bowang Hou is really my left and right arm."

Everyone also hurriedly said some auspicious words one after another. At this moment, the civil official of the famous Ling Yin family couldn't help but ask curiously, "What method does Master Hou want to use to defeat the Tang Army?"

The question came out, but no one could answer it.

Mo Ao said quietly: "In the current situation, I'm afraid I can only consume it, or fight hard, there is no other way. Unless ......"

"Unless what?"

Chu Anzhou asked impatiently, and there was an urgent glimmer of hope on his face.

Yin Xing looked at Ling Hu Yi and said, "Unless there is a strange genius who is amazed, there is a peerless good general who has established miraculous feats and unexpectedly won a crucial battle, so that he can get out of this quagmire."

After hearing this, the officials couldn't help but sigh in frustration. It's just nonsense, there are naturally occasional famous wars in history when they are outnumbered, but that thing is hard to find, and you can't just get it if you think about it.

Ling Huyi gritted his teeth at this time, and stood there with round eyes, as if he was drumming out a lot of energy. Many people in the DPRK and China used to compliment him as a hero, but later complained that he provoked the Tang State to cause trouble, and wanted to inexplicably put the blame on themselves. It seems that such things as building miraculous feats are what he should do.

Chu Anzhou looked at Ling Huyi and placed great hopes on him, and encouraged him earnestly: "The state affairs are difficult, and I am deeply worried. If the Marquis of Bowang builds miraculous feats for me, he will definitely become a hero of my Chu country for thousands of years."

The so-called miraculous people, of course, are in the most difficult and critical moments, to do extraordinary things, in order to be gods.
