The emperor wanted to conquer the Zhou State, and spread it to the world, and there was no reason to turn back. As soon as the edict was issued, the war machine of the Northern Qi Dynasty had already begun to twist the clockwork, and 200,000 warriors with bows went south to Luoyang from Jinzhou Road!

An eagle hovered from above the heavens, scanning the earth with its piercing eyes, and on the plains it flew over, a river of glowing cold light rolled and flowed on the ground, making a roar of gold and iron!

That's a river of people! The iron cavalry is rolling, the long lance is like a forest, the army going south is endless, day and night, at this moment there is a group of men and horses, there are more than 5,000 people, all cavalry, one by one the armor is bright, the sword and gun are shining, compared with the ordinary team is still three points.

At the end of autumn, Hedong was still a little hot, and the underwear of these soldiers had already been soaked, and the sweat was drawn into the crotch of the pants along the lines of the muscles, but no one took off their armor for the sake of being cool.

Although the number of this force was huge, it seemed that the situation was only the vanguard force, because they had not long passed by a large brigade of men and horses mixed with infantry and horses, and it was not until late at night that the army was always in advance, and it was more than a day before the whole army passed.

At the back are a team of rangers, not wearing armor, but with a strong temperament, and the horses under the crotch are also extremely tall and majestic, only the ring knife is hung at the neck of the horse, and the quiver is full of short spears and crossbow arrows.

Behind them were ox carts, which were full of something, and they were covered with straw curtains, and they did not know what they were. I only heard the dinging of the car as it shook...... The crisp sound is the sound of heavy armor!

Along the way, the people who witnessed the grand appearance of this march, regardless of the people, officials and merchants, were all stunned, and everyone rushed to tell each other that the emperor would come to Luoyang...... In mid-October, Gao Wei's car drove to Luoyang, and Dugu Yongye and Luoyang Wenwu had been waiting outside the city for a long time, and the people were crowded on the road, opening their mouths wide to look at the slowly approaching car.

Dugu Yongye's heart was shocked, although he didn't know how many times he had sorted it out in the past half a day, he still hurriedly tidied up his appearance again, and then hurriedly stepped forward to greet him, bowed his head, and said solemnly: "Minister-Dugu Yongye, welcome the saint!" My emperor has no borders! ”

Behind him, a group of bureaucrats and ordinary people followed suit and fell to the ground. The curtain of the car was opened, and the emperor, dressed in regular clothes, jumped out of the car, helped him up with a smile, and said, "Aiqing doesn't have to be so polite, hurry up." ”

"Minister-Thank you, Your Majesty!" Only then did Dugu Yongye get up and stand solemnly on his side, as if he regarded himself as the emperor's guard.

Gao Wei pressed one hand on his belt, looked up at the tall Luoyang city defense, and then looked at the Luoyang army who came to greet him, and saw that their military appearance was neat and morale, and they were not strong to hold up the show, so he nodded with satisfaction:

"You have governed Luoyang very well,

Only if you are in charge of Luoyang for me, I can feel at ease. ”

Luoyang is the old capital of the Northern Wei Dynasty, after a series of chaos, the people's livelihood is difficult, coupled with the Northern Wei Dynasty ministers fled with Yuan Xiu in large numbers, which led to the decline of Luoyang, but Luoyang's geographical location is extremely important, and half of the lifeblood of the Northern Qi Dynasty is here.

Dugu Yongye and Hu Luguang did not agree and were squeezed here, and over the years they have guarded Luoyang, both their political achievements and achievements are enough to satisfy Cushman & Wakefield. Although the Northern Zhou Dynasty was heavily defended in the east of the river, Dugu Yongye was able to fight back and forth with the Northern Zhou Dynasty when he was far away from the center and could not get timely support, and he did not fall into the prestige of the Northern Qi, which was already very good.

The meaning of appreciation between the emperor's words was very obvious, Dugu Yongye was naturally overjoyed when he heard it, especially when he still had so many subordinates here, he suddenly felt that his face was greatly raised, and he only felt that this majesty was not as strict and domineering as the rumors said, and he was clearly and kind!

These five big and three rough men actually blushed for a while, and said hesitantly: "This ...... This is the duty of the minister, even if he wants to go up the sword mountain and go down to the sea of fire, the minister will never frown, and the minister will not dare to praise His Majesty! ”

Gao Wei smiled kindly, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "I heard that you plan to vacate your mansion for me to live in?" ”

Dugu Yongye thought that the emperor was not satisfied, and hurriedly explained: "Qi ...... Your Majesty, the Luoyang palace has been dilapidated for a long time, and I am afraid that it is uninhabitable, although the minister's home is simple, it is clean and tidy......"

Gao Wei knew that he had misunderstood what he meant, and waved his hand to interrupt: "I didn't mean this, and I am not a person who can't endure hardship...... I mean, you have cleared your mansion, and you have wives and children, and you are going to place them there? ”

Before the emperor cared about Dugu Yongye's family, he also made a small mockery of the first emperor Gao Zhan, the last time in the Battle of Pishan, Gao Changgong relieved the siege of Luoyang, Luoyang was protected, but the losses were heavy, Gao Zhan in order to lift the morale of the army, ran all the way from Jinyang to Luoyang to reward the army, but he couldn't stand the dilapidated Luoyang Palace, and almost went back immediately after the reward was issued.

"The minister can set up a military tent, or buy a house temporarily......" Dugu Yongye suddenly remembered that there were many civil and military officials who came with the emperor, and he could vacate one, what should he do with the rest? Immediately annoyed, secretly hating himself for missing the calculation. Then he cautiously added: "There are still a lot of Luoyang mansions, and the minister can order them to vacate them......"

Gao Wei pondered for a moment and said, "That's it, you don't have to vacate the mansion for me, then Luoyang Palace can pick a few that can live, and you can clean it up...... There were other ministers who ordered people to consult with the rich families in the city to vacate some space for the imperial court, but remember not to disturb the people, and not to take advantage of it. Otherwise, I will not forgive. ”

"It's too simple...... "Dugu Yongye is embarrassed." Gao Wei didn't care: "I came to Luoyang to supervise the army to fight, not to eat, drink and have fun, that's it...... I can see that more than a dozen mansions can be requisitioned.

"Zuo Xiang is in charge of the army, food and accommodation are in the army, the rest is Dazai and a group of civil servants, except for Dazai, everyone else can be squeezed, a few years ago, when the Northern Expedition was carried out, even the tents were set up in the ice and snow, and they couldn't stand it if they were squeezed now, right?"

"Your Majesty is lenient and sympathetic to the people, which really makes the ministers ashamed." The bureaucrats took advantage of the situation, but the emperor turned pale and said: "Don't think that I am putting up a show, not disturbing the people is to fight for the hearts of the people, and to fight for the hearts of the people is to fight for the world!"

"This time the army attacked the Zhou State, so that the whole army remembered, whether it is a general or a soldier, it is not allowed to violate military discipline, do things that disturb the people and harm the people, otherwise I will recognize him, and my sword will not recognize him!"

It is said that the emperor went to Luoyang, and Murong Yan, the left prime minister, according to the established plan, has been standing still, while pressing towards Xiaoguan, while sending an order to Hu Luguang, so that he will fight first, Hu Luguang ordered to build 3,000 warships, transfer Fenzhou soldiers to Fenglingdu, and gather on the river. And the fate of Shirong is stationed in Longmen, and Qilian is stationed in Dingyang, and there is a tendency to take advantage of the situation to smash into the pass. The Zhou army was terrified, and when they arrived in Zhongzhou, the Zhou soldiers had withdrawn to the west, leaving only an empty city, and there was no Zhou pawn.

Hu Luguang was overjoyed, and went straight to Zhongzhou, connected with Heyin, and the goal was achieved, so he calmly returned to the north. Wei Xiaokuan knew that his strength was far inferior since Hu Luguang went to war, so he flinched, retreated day by day, abandoned all the military camps built around Yubi, and went to Chang'an, please send more troops as soon as possible. If not, Hu Luguang will really go straight along the north bank of Weishui, and Chang'an will be in danger!

Chang'an shook, obviously caught off guard by the Qi State's troops, and obviously did not expect the Qi people to send troops to attack so quickly, and panicked for a while. Hu Luguang successively dispatched several military horses to cross the river and march westward, in an attempt to cut off Wei Xiaokuan's retreat. Wei Xiaokuan saw that the troops were coming in a big way, and the reinforcements were still unknown, so he couldn't help but be anxious, so he wanted to send troops to fight.

All the generals thought it was impossible, and said: "The Qi army is strong, and it is not suitable for our army to fight with the Qi people in the field." He also said: "Dingyang, Yao Xiang, Longmen, and Fenglingdu are all in the hands of the enemy, and Yubi can't fight with them, which is the right thing." ”

Wei Xiaokuan was displeased and said: "Today, our army is facing off with the enemy, Sui and Yanshang still have strong troops, if you don't fight, let it be divided, and the soldiers will be scattered!" I mean to take a long detour, to take him by surprise, and to burn his ship first! ”

The Qi army was stationed in Longmen, seeing that the Zhou army thousands of cavalry suddenly chased, hurriedly burned the boat and abandoned the armor and left, the Zhou army saw that there were only hundreds of ships moored again, shouting in the plan, at this time the Qi army suddenly came out, more than 1,000 Zhou cavalry only more than 100 escaped back to the city, Wei Xiaokuan has since become more and more cautious, swore martial law, every soldier and pawn transfer must be asked, will be afraid of the Qi army to the greatest, persuade Wei Xiaokuan to go forward and escape.

Wei Xiaokuan stretched himself out of his composure, scolded loudly, and then said angrily: "The Son of Heaven ordered me to guard the jade, when the city survives, if I run away, I'm sorry for the Son of Heaven, I'm sorry for the soldiers!" What will I do to see Emperor Taizu in the future? Everyone saw that he was resolute, and their hearts were a little settled, waiting for reinforcements to arrive.

Zhou Zhuyu Wenyong ordered Qi Wang Yu Wenxian, and the general Liang Shiyan came to the aid of Yubi. Hu Luguang and the Zhou army in the field one after another, four wins and two defeats, Liang Shiyan's strange soldiers crossed the river and raided, the big break Qi Lian fierce, Yao Xiang almost lost, the Qi army's offensive was blocked, Hu Luguang rested for a while, redeployed, and the two sides confronted each other in Yubi. At this time, Murong Yan brazenly attacked the hinterland of Hedong!
