Now it is Layue, and Xingyang is also in the north, although it is not as cold as Shanxi, but it is definitely much colder than in the south.

If the imperial court sends 150,000 people to the expedition, it is absolutely impossible to gather together, it must be that the soldiers are divided into several routes, each with its own errand, otherwise everyone gathers together, it is not easy to restrain it, and it is not such a marching method.

The Shandong rebels are like this now, they are gathered together, they keep cutting down trees for warmth, the hay on the ground is picked up, and the rebels who do not belong to one faction will be beaten because of a bundle of firewood.

In short, the whole camp is chaotic.

Li Deyi and other thieves also know these problems, but they can't restrain them, after all, compared with officers and soldiers, discipline has always been a headache.

Everyone came out with you because they couldn't eat, and if you can't let us eat, then we'll figure it out ourselves.

Don't talk about you Li Deyi, if you hand over such an army to Gao Gong Yang Su, the two of them will also have a headache.

At first, Li Deyi did have an idea, that is, some people continued to surround Xingyang, and the others went directly to Xingluocang, but the people below were unwilling, they wanted to enter Xingyang City, and they didn't want others to attack the granary first, and they wanted to enter everyone together.

Why are you reluctant to Xingyang? There is food in it, there is shelter, and you can rob women, although you will think about lust when you are full, but where there are many men, women are always the first topic.

The more we talk, the more urgent.

The next day, Guo Pre-Fang's siege was also ineffective, after all, this is the whole of Henan second only to Luoyang's big city, the city defense system is very perfect, and the old Zheng family has been operating, other places may cut corners, but the city defense is very real, on the east city wall, there are twenty-four ballistae alone.

With 3,000 corpses lying on the periphery of the city walls, Guo retreated.

He was only in his early 10,000s, and three out of ten of his deaths had already mutinied, and he had to retreat if he didn't want to.

Then, his deserters were blocked by other factions and killed more than 2,000 more.

Now he has no second way except to follow Li Deyi with an iron heart, so he recognized Li Deyi as his godfather, and his remnants were under Li Deyi's command.

This is your own person, since it is your own person, there is no business for you to attack the city.

Power struggles are inevitable at any time, even when you're hungry.

"When the arrows of the officers and soldiers are always exhausted, let's make some big shields and send people to fill the moat," Xu Yuanlang suggested.

Zuo Xiaoyou said: "The food is not enough for a few days to consume, and if you can't take it, there will be chaos in the army, if you want me to say, the siege can't be stopped, I will fight after you finish fighting, otherwise once you stop, some thorns will stir up trouble." ”

What he means is to find you something to do, because people who have nothing to do will turn their brains.

What I need is to do things, not to use my brain.

What is not eaten is the most urgent at the moment, and when the day comes when the food is exhausted, there will inevitably be chaos inside.

Li Deyi nodded: "Qin Junhong, Huo Xiaohan, Lu Xingxing, Shuai Rentai, you immediately command the troops to attack the city, you must not stop, you are tired, the other departments will go up and tell the soldiers that there are only thousands of officers and soldiers in the city, everyone work hard, we will soon be able to enter the city, what do we want at that time." ”

A leader who can't draw a pie is not a good leader, a soldier who is not fooled, and a soldier who is not a good soldier.

These people can be thieves, and the level of painting cakes is definitely there, otherwise they would not have gathered so many subordinates.

The battle outside Xingyang City is in full swing, and Yang Ming, who is stationed in Luoyang, is holding a military intelligence meeting according to the current situation.

The meeting was held in the main hall of the East Palace in the Imperial City of Luoyang.

No matter what the chaos is outside, Luoyang can hardly see any impact, it is still very prosperous, all industries are stable, and it is very safe to live here, but the price is outrageously high.

"If His Royal Highness wants to send troops to Jijun, he must cross the Yellow River from Xingyang, but now that the danger of Xingyang is imminent, it is better to repel the Shandong rebels first," Yu Juluo saw Yang Ming for the first time, and he had heard a lot about the deeds of the prince from Gao Gong, and he had already longed for it.

When he saw it today, just because he was not surprised and talked and laughed, he knew that this was definitely a perfect commander.

Yang Ming said with a smile: "Gao Tang Gong doesn't need to worry, although Gu is led by Wagang and the thief is fast, but now that the situation has changed, it is natural to solve the matter of Xingyang." ”

Yu Juluo said with a smile: "With the prince presiding, the minister is naturally worry-free." ”

In history, he was executed by Yang Guang, don't look at him as Yang Guang's person, but he died very unjustly.

Why, because in ancient times, the lack of medical knowledge and superstition about the gods and spirits, so that people with double eyes would be considered saints, in fact, it is a congenital disability, a manifestation of early cataracts.

People have diseases, not backbones, but Yang Guang didn't think so, so he asked Liang Jingzhen to find a way to fabricate the charges of Yujuluo, and then killed the other party.

Who is Liang Jingzhen? Liang Bi's son, Liang Shidu's younger brother, the seventh in the family, married Yang Yong's daughter, and is now the chief of Dali.

What is a double pupil? The pupils of normal people are O-shaped, and the double pupils are ∞-shaped.

Anyway, Yang Ming felt a little awkward in his eyes, and when he talked to me, his eyes didn't seem to be looking at me, they were similar to the pair of eyes.

"Qu Tutong came to report that there are more than 100,000 rebels besieging Xingyang, and they are already attacking the city day and night, and the head of the fish does not dare to make a decision, just waiting for His Highness," Dugu Su said with a smile.

Yang Ming raised his hand and said: "When I am not there, the military situation is handled by the Gaotang County Princess, let's talk about it, how many adjustable soldiers are there around Luoyang?" ”

Yu Juluo hurriedly said: "There are 70,000 defenders in the city, and there are three large battalions outside, respectively 12,000 people, 14,000 people, 16,000 people, plus the tun army in Yanshi, Tiger Prison and other places, the number is about 150,000, and only the garrison army in the city can be mobilized, and 20,000 or 30,000 people can be transferred for the time being. ”

Yang Ming nodded: "Then first transfer 10,000, with Yang Xuanzong, the prince of Huainan County, as the main general, Xuan Ting as the deputy general, and Xu Shiji as the record to participate in the military, stationed in Xingluocang, and cooperate with Qu Tutong to exterminate the Shandong rebels." ”

Xuan Zong's title has always been so high, when he was a teenager, he was canonized by Yang Jian early by his father's light, he was the second, the fourth Xuan Award is the Duke of Qinghe County, and Xuan Ting, who is the third oldest, became the son of Yang Yue, and the title is on the pillar country, but there is no title.

Therefore, Xuanzong's administrative level is higher than that of Yujuluo, but the military level is not comparable to the other party.

Yang Yichen, Dou Kang, and Tu Wanxu were stunned at the same time, what's wrong? With such a big battle, we don't need to do it?

These three people, except for Tu Wanxu, have dealt with Yang Ming, Yang Yichen is still Shi Wansui's subordinate, as for Dou Kang, the elder brother of Dou Qing, the tiger sitting on the ground in Hedong, Yang Jian's nephew, and Yang Guang's aunt and cousin.

The change of Renshou Palace, with Yang Zhi to lead the left and right Yulin Army, has the ability to escort, don't look at him as Dou Qing's brother, but when the two stand together, Dou Qing is more like an elder brother, because he is too old, and a fifty-year-old person looks the same as a sixty-year-old.

"Xuan Zong, is Xuan Ting a little younger?" Dou was surprised.

Yang Ming said with a smile: "Layue is cold, the princes are old, you want to go, I can't bear it, from Beijing to Guanzhong, my feet are frostbitten, but you know that the weather is bad, if it is not a major event to counterbalance the rebellion, it cannot be delayed, Layue is definitely not the time to use troops." ”

Dou Kang nodded, don't say anything, his level has reached the top, he is already Chen Guogong, a powerful general like him will not let you take risks, because your task is to defend the imperial power, not to exterminate the traitors.

What about Yang Yichen, he doesn't care, it's really hard to have a bad winter when he's old, he can hold the fire at home, why bother to suffer that sin?

But Tu Wanxu thought, on the expedition to Goguryeo, as the main general, he did not conquer Liaodong City, and he was originally excluded from the core of power, and his desire to make meritorious contributions was extremely urgent.

Historically, together with Yujuluo, he was ordered to attack Liu Yuanjin, Guan Chong, and Zhu Xie, and he fought very well, and he had already disabled these three, but as a result, Yang Guang was not satisfied, and successively recalled him and Yujuluo and sent Wang Shichong.

"I would like to lead the army to Xingyang, please ask Your Highness for permission," Tu Wanxu got up and said.

Dude, you can't see it at all, I can only use my own people now, you are not my people?

Yang Ming said with a smile: "Gucheng County Gong is a little restless, you can ask for battle, I am very relieved, but here in Lone, there are other arrangements for you, stay until the beginning of spring next year, the Wagang thieves, with you as the main general, take advantage of the current situation, you can plan and deploy it." ”

Tu Wanxu is relieved, you just need to use me: "Prince Xie." ”

Does Yang Ming really use it? Yes, it will be like in history, you go and cripple Wagang, and I will let my people finish it up and take the first credit.

I'm sorry man, I know you're a good person, but I can't help it.

"How much grain is left in Xingluocang?" Yang Ming asked.

Wu Hua said: "There are nearly three million stones, and this year's taxes are not easy to collect." ”

"The disaster-free areas still have to be collected, and if there are disaster areas, reduce them as appropriate," It's not that Yang Ming is inconsiderate of the people, the grain in the four major warehouses in the eastern capital will always be eaten one day, and there will be no new grain replenishment, and the army will be cut off, and this battle will be even more difficult to fight.

Wu Hua nodded.

Yang Ming continued to look at the dignitaries and dignitaries present, and said in a deep voice: "Quelling the rebellion is the first thing, if you have surplus food at home, take a little out, don't blame Gu for asking you for food, the rebellion can't be quelled, you won't have a good time next year, this time it's not a loan, it's a donation, Zhao Guogong will take the lead." ”

Dugu Su, who had already seen Yang Ming in private, hurriedly nodded and said: "Your Highness, the danger of Henan, we will unite as one, and whoever is hungry cannot starve the soldiers in front." ”

The heads of other big families also hurriedly chimed in.

Yang Ming said with a smile: "At that time, the list of food donations, I have to see it in person, and my friendship will be remembered in my heart." ”

The corners of Yu Juluo's mouth curled, or you are awesome, I came to Luoyang to find them several times, one by one, it seems that the family will be out of cooking tomorrow, you come, everything is solved.

I said that I won't forget your credits, but in fact, I am warning them that if they donate less, I will also hold a grudge.
