Chapter 454: The Whole Country Shakes

Just when Luoyang City was full of chickens and dogs, Ma Tan and 5,000 Han soldiers also defeated the last resistance of Guo Huai and others.

After the only remaining Guanzhong veterans scattered and fled, and Guo Huai, Sun Li and others were wounded and left, the road to Luoyang was opened. Ma Tan led the soldiers of the Han army all the way across Heyin and arrived outside Luoyang, the capital of today's Cao Wei.

At this time, the composition of Ma Tan's troops was quite special. Among them, 3,000 soldiers were light cavalry, all dressed in cavalry leather armor. They were followed by 2,000 foot soldiers, but they were also on horseback and followed the troops, and the speed was not slow.

When the soldiers of the Han army appeared under the city of Luoyang, Ma Jian also saw this most luxurious city in the eastern part of the Kanto region with his own eyes.

I have to say that Luoyang is worthy of the reputation of the capital of Cao Wei, whether it is the scale of the city or the thickness of the city wall, it is far beyond Chang'an next door. If Chang'an has the thickness of Luoyang, there is a high probability that there will be no way to return the gun.

"I have heard that Luoyang was burned to ashes by a fire when Dong Zhuo was in turmoil in the past. It has only been a few years since the puppet Wei moved the capital to Luoyang, and once again made it so luxurious. ”

Ma Tan looked at the thick Luoyang city head, and then at the panicked Cao Wei soldiers at the city head, and couldn't help but shake his head gently,

"It can only be said that it is worthy of Kanto, after supporting countless families, it can still support such a big deal of pseudo-Wei. If His Majesty sees this, he will probably cry greedily......"

In the past, when he was in Chengdu, Ma Tan often met Liu Chan. This Emperor Ji Han has complained to him more than once that his life is too poor, but Dong Yun does not let him have a little extravagance and waste.

The most important thing is that Yizhou is too poor, and even the reward has to be given. In this regard, Liu Chan has always envied Cao Wei's wealth, with so many troops and such a large territory, he can still be so rich.

One thing to say, historically, for Liu Chan, it was probably more comfortable when he was an Anle Gong than when he was an emperor......

"Even if it is so big in the world and has millions of people, won't it be beaten to the capital by the general in the end? Such a puppet dynasty composed of mediocrity and waste is in front of the general, but Erer. In this regard, Deng Fan followed behind and immediately opened his mouth to Ma Jian to comfort.

"They are just relying on the afterglow left by the Cao thieves of the past, or these will be owned by the Han in a few years."

"Tsk...... Shizai, your ancestral home should be from Qingzhou. Ma Tan glanced back at Deng Fan, was silent for a while, and couldn't help but sigh.

Look at what Xiao Deng Ai said, it is not leaky and it is comfortable to listen to. At this level of speaking, you really deserve to improve.

Sure enough, it's stuttering that restricts Deng Ai's play, if you don't stutter, this guy can't fly to the sky......

Oh yes, Cao Wei's side is the nine-grade Zhongzheng system, if it weren't for Sima Yi's appreciation in history, Deng Ai would have said that it would be useless.

"All in all, since we have all petitioned outside Luoyang City, how can there be any reason not to go in? Ordered the soldiers to camp on the spot, preparing to build simple siege facilities, and even if they couldn't be defeated, someone had to climb up to the top of the city to take a look. ”

Ma Tan waved his hand and quickly gave the order to prepare for the siege.

"Yui!" Deng Fan nodded, and immediately turned his head and beckoned the tribe to camp on the spot. In this way, 5,000 soldiers and horses swaggered and camped a few miles outside Luoyang City, almost camping under the noses of the Wei army.

In this regard, the Cao Wei forbidden army in the city felt insulted for a while, but more of a panic about the prospects.

Luoyang was the political center of Cao Wei, and countless families, high-ranking officials, and even the families of many feudal officials were here. These upper echelons of the empire, including the emperor, were concerned with the functioning of the entire Cao Wei.

Not to mention letting the Han army enter the city, just Ma Jian set up a camp outside the city, and rumors immediately spread in the city.

Countless officials found that Xishu, which was originally advertised as only "the trouble of the border pass", had suddenly appeared outside the capital. For a time, Luoyang felt endless panic and despair about the future prospects.

Especially many wealthy families, when they saw this scene, they had already made second-hand preparations for the first time. Even some discerning clans have privately begun to make Han army flags, and if the Han army enters the city, they will directly welcome the king.

And in their private name, Ma Jian has changed from the "butcher who eats people in the barbarian land of Western Shu" to "the genius of Wusheng Baiqi after the noble and wealthy family".

Ma Tan has only arrived in Luoyang for a day, and the situation has become so outrageous. If Ma Jian is really allowed to enter Luoyang, there is a high probability that Cao Wei will surrender the whole country.

But it's a pity that so far Ma Tan doesn't know that the Luoyang in front of him is very empty. Because Ji Han rarely collected intelligence about the Kanto region in recent years (after all, it was something that Yang Yi couldn't think of hitting Luoyang before), so Ma Jian didn't know that there were only 6,000 people in Luoyang City at this time.

At this moment, Ma Jian just planned to show off his might outside the city, and then symbolically hit the city to show the prestige of the Han army.

At the same time, Cao Rui finally woke up from his coma. After waking up, the first thing Cao Rui did was to urgently issue an edict, ordering all the soldiers and horses in Guanzhong to come to King Qin as soon as possible.

Even Hefei can be left unguarded, can there be anything more serious than the fall of Luoyang?

At this critical juncture, Cao Rui quickly suppressed all his emotions and behaved extremely calmly. On the one hand, he quickly issued an edict ordering the Kwantung Army to come to the rescue, and on the other hand, he personally stood up to appease the people.

At this time, rumors spread in Luoyang, and people were panicked. Cao Rui personally stood up after this, and on the one hand took the Yulin army to the city to appease the army, and on the other hand, he ordered the militia to be recruited from Luoyang.

At the same time, Cao Rui also forced the various major clans not to hide and tuck, and took out all the slaves and servants to support the defense of the city. If the Han army came in, Ma Jian would not let go of this group of Kwantung clans who were deeply bound to the Cao family.

After doing all this, Cao Rui personally walked to the city, appeasing the hearts of the armies while planning to take a look at Ma Jian with his own eyes.

The last time I went to Yingchuan, I wanted to see Ma Jian with my own eyes, but I was finally beaten away by one of Ma Tan's generals. Originally, Cao Rui had made up his mind not to go to the front line again, and felt that it was unlikely to meet Ma Tan, but he didn't expect Ma Jian to come to him......

After some soothing the army, Cao Rui personally came to the forefront, condescending under the escort of the Yulin Army, looking out of the city from afar.

"Your Majesty! That is the soldiers and horses of the Shu army led by Ma Tan! General Wu Wei, who followed the army, pointed to the Han army camp in the distance, and swore an oath,

"There are only 5,000 of them, and they are all cavalry, even if they put on their wings, they can't fly into Luoyang City, please rest assured, Your Majesty!"

"Reassured? The result of my eight years of reassuring is that the Shu army has almost reached my dormitory! Cao Rui glanced at the Wuwei general and said with a sneer.

In this regard, General Wu Wei retreated a little embarrassed, not knowing what to say.

Just when Cao Rui was peeking into the Han military camp, Ma Jian also noticed that there was something wrong with the city.

"Huh? There seems to be a Son of Heaven on the head of Luoyang City? Could it be that Cao Rui came in person? ”
