Until mid-August, the Luoyang Forbidden Army still did not move, because the Northern Army Hou Wang Rong died.

The army loses its commander, as it is.

He Lun, the general of the left guard, Pei Kuo, the general of the right guard, and Wang Hu, the general of the Xiao cavalry, became the three highest-ranking people in the forbidden army.

Wang Hu's Xiao cavalry army only has more than 1,000 horses, and the strength is too weak, so let's not talk about it for the time being, so if you choose the commander from the forbidden army, He Lun and Pei Kuo are the most suitable.

Of course, it is also possible that the imperial court parachuted a certain general down to lead the army.

But this is actually a very irresponsible behavior.

Hussar generals, chariot generals, Wei generals, and so on, have not led troops for many years, and they are purely additional officers and American officers, and letting them lead the army will inevitably cause all kinds of disharmony and increase unnecessary risks out of thin air.

Fortunately, after Sima Yue's fiasco, he cleared his mind a little, and he sent envoys to Beijing to discuss the choice of coach with Wang Yan and Cao Fu.

On the first day of September, Shao Xun was training outside Kim Yong Cheng when Pan Tao, a waiter from the Yellow Gate, came.

Shao Xun stepped forward to greet him, he hadn't seen him for a while, although he invited himself to the banquet, but he didn't go.

"The last time we said goodbye, I haven't seen each other in months." Shao Xun said with a smile.

"The general is free? Say a few words when you have time. I'll have to go to Cao Junsi's mansion in a while. Pan Tao said with a serious face.

Shao Xun directly invited him to the prison hall inside—it was actually a palace type.

"If the Si Air Force orders down, Xiao Langjun must respect the order and lead his troops to the battle." Pan Tao said bluntly.

Shao Xun was a little surprised, but he still replied: "Once the military order is ordered, I will definitely obey it." ”

Pan Tao took a closer look at Shao Xun and saw that he didn't seem to be telling a lie, so he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Although Sikong is defeated, he is still Sikong in the end." As long as he is willing to promise benefits, he can still recruit soldiers. King Fanyang has arrived in Hebei, heard that Xuchang was empty, hurriedly returned, and sent an envoy to Xuzhou, to meet Sikong, please transfer Youzhou to help the battle. ”

"Xianbei cavalry?"

"It's the Xianbei cavalry. King Fanyang asked for 5,000 horsemen in return for allowing him to plunder Yuzhou. But Sikong was still hesitating, asking left and right, and everyone couldn't decide. He also sent a letter to Cao Junsi, but the military secretary did not reply. Pan Tao said: "However, if he is really asked to come to these 5,000 horses, Liu Qiao's father and son are only 10,000 or 20,000 soldiers, and they may resist?" If you don't send troops, you'll be the target of the public. ”

"Thank you, squire." Shao Xun bowed and said.

Pan Tao said the truth. Sima Yue's battles are sparse, but his ability to shake people is first-class, and he really got him 5,000 Xianbei cavalry, Liu Qiao's father and son are indeed in danger.

In addition, to plunder Yuzhou as a reward? What kind of brute is this?

In the attack on Sima Ying last year, Wang Jun was helped by the Xianbei cavalry and won consecutive battles. After the capture of Yecheng, the Xianbei people plundered, and there were many dead.

When returning to the city, the Xianbei people also looted 8,000 Yecheng women to return to the north, and when they returned to Yishui, Wang Jun stopped them and asked them to release them.

The Xianbei cavalry sank all the 8,000 women to death in Yishui, and left in a rage, Wang Jun didn't dare to say anything.

The demons of the Central Plains are dancing!

It's just that Wang Jun and Sima Yu are still in power, and they are dominant.

It's amazing.

When my silver spear and long sword are trained, I will use Ma Xiping's old wisdom to run rampant in the Central Plains and attack everywhere, see what your Xianbei cavalry can withstand me?

"One more thing." Pan Tao pulled Shao Xun away from the palace gate, and whispered in his ear for a long time.

"You mean......" Shao Xun understood a little.

Pan Tao nodded and said, "Xiao Langjun can decide himself." ”

After speaking, Pan Tao arched his hand and left.

After Pan Tao left, Shao Xun sat alone in the palace, thinking, weighing, and calculating repeatedly.

By the time the soldier brought lunch, he was still thinking silently.

At this time, the left guard general He Lun arrived again.

******

"General Ho." Shao Xun went out to greet him and bowed.

"Well, why do you have to do that." He Lun hugged Shao Xun and said, "Since this year, I feel that everyone has divided a lot. ”

He was referring to Mi Huang, Shao Xun, Wang Bing and other old people in the East China Sea.

Mi Huang served as the general of Nishinaka Lang as the head of Hongnong.

After his arrival, he only recruited athletes, hoarded grain, grass and ordnance, trained soldiers, repaired city checkpoints, and rarely returned to Luoyang.

Relationships need to be maintained all the time, and when you're out of town, they slowly come to life.

Wang Bing and He Lun were separated probably because of low self-esteem.

The two used to be the generals of the Liupin Kingdom, and now one is the general of the left guard, and the other has not been the general of the right guard, the difference in identity, it may not matter if you are an open-minded person, but Wang Bing is not so open-minded.

Shao Xun is simply too busy, and his mind is mostly focused on running a private business.

"Why did the general say that?" Shao Xun said with a smile: "They are all from the East China Sea, and they should work together." ”

"It's the pole, it's the pole." He Lun hesitated again and again, and finally said: "Sikong sent an envoy to come, with me as the governor, and led the left guard and the Xiao cavalry army south to Yuzhou to quell the chaos. Lang Jun bravely crowned the three armies, may be a pioneer? ”

Shao Xun snorted.

He Lun, as his top boss, is so humble that he doesn't dare to say anything serious, which makes people sigh.

Thinking about the Shangguansi Rebellion, he directly proclaimed himself the general of the Chinese army, and He Lun's soldiers were still charity from him.

When guarding Luoyang, he gave orders, and He Lun pinched his nose to comply.

Isn't that going to leave a shadow?

Shao Xun smiled at the corner of his mouth and said: "If I am a pioneer, I want to choose soldiers by myself, and I will have more equipment." If you want food, open up the supply. ”

He Lun was overjoyed: "Just according to what you say." ”

When He Lun said this, Shao Xun was not polite, ordered ten people on the spot, and said: "The left and right guards select the elite of the old soldiers, and then the ten people will be led." It is better to be able to ride a horse. In addition, the cavalry army led by Wang Hu must also be dispatched, at least with one governor of our department (500 horsemen). ”

He Lun nodded again and again, there was no choice. Being able to ride a war and being able to ride a horse are two concepts, and if you look carefully, there are still quite a few.

Shao Xun smiled.

Fame and prestige are useful, if Sikong wants to deal with me, relying on these people alone, I'm afraid it will be fateful to seek fish.

It just so happens that this time there may be soldiers and horses from other places coming over, who will suppress Liu Qiao's father and son, and you can see their skills.

The left guard and Xiao cavalry were dispatched, and more than 16,000 people left behind the right guard, and Hongnong's side was not a public toilet that he used to enter and exit casually, so Luoyang should not be lost, right?

No, I still have to write a letter to Mi Huang, suggesting that he stick to the city and not fight.

There were 1,500 old kingdom troops in Hongnong City, but Mi Huang expanded to three or four thousand people, and it was on the main road and the road that must be passed.

Hongnong has been plagued several times, there is nothing to plunder, and it is a little difficult to even eat people, does Zhang Fang dare to come to Luoyang at the risk of starvation?

Thinking of this, Shao Xun did not hesitate, and after confessing his guilt to He Lun, he returned to Kim Yong Cheng to write a letter on the spot.

After writing to Mi Huang, he wrote letters to Jin San, Chen Yougen, and Wang Qi'er respectively.

More than 100 people from the second building of Wang Qi'er's Silver Spear Army went to Yunzhongwu for training.

There were more than 350 people in the Changjian Army, and Shao Xun ordered Chen Yougen to lead 200 people west to Yunzhongwu.

Jin San and Wang Qi'er obeyed Chen Yougen's order, and selected four teams of silver-spear sergeants to go to Huixiban to cut wood and set up fences.

If the enemy army is attacking, there is no need to fight hard, choose a dangerous place to set up an ambush, delay the attack, and buy time for the evacuation of the people of Danshan and Kinmen Erwu - one to two days is enough.

Anyway, there is basically no investment in these two dock forts, and even if they are lost, it is nothing.

Yunzhongwu is still in the construction stage in full swing, although it has not been completed, but there are already some areas that can be defended.

Of course, it is unlikely that Zhang Fang will come here, Shao Xun is just habitually taking precautions.

The sky is falling, and Mi Huang is in front of him.

After writing the letter, Shao Xun called Tang Jian, the new leader of the pro-soldier team, and asked him to deliver the letter in person.

When sending Tang Jian out, seeing that He Lun hadn't left yet, Shao Xun thought about it and asked again: "General He, I don't know if you can mobilize the right guard to go west to Hongnong and assist the monarch of Mifu to guard the palace?" ”

"Lang Jun, you know what the situation of the forbidden army is." He Lun smiled bitterly: "It's okay to defend the city, but it's not okay to fight in the field." ”

"As long as you can keep it." Shao Xun said: "If the western soldiers advance eastward, they will stick to the city and there is no need for field battles. If the enemy army bypasses the city and does not fight, he will go out of the city to attack his baggage troops and cut off his food routes. If the enemy attacks the city, there is nothing to say, just defend it. ”

He Lun hesitated for a moment, then finally nodded and said, "This matter has to be discussed with Cao Junsi and General Pei, and I will go in a while." ”

"No more." Shao Xun said: "The right guard Tiger Ben Zhonglang General Wang has more than 2,000 heavily armored infantry soldiers, many of whom are Chinese army soldiers, who are transferred to the past and defend the city, and the thief army will have nothing to do. ”

"Take the field heavy armor to defend the city, and it will be gone." He Lun left with a smile and said, "Just wait for the good news." ”

Shao Xun breathed a sigh of relief.

It's almost all arranged.

Next, I'm going to take the chicken feather as an arrow, sit tight!
