Wang Mi is a thief with a very tough mind.

For the first time, he took his servants to join Liu Bogen's religious rebel army, which was considered a small shareholder, and was wiped out by the Xianbei cavalry who went south to Youzhou - Duan Xianbei's mercenary business was really wide, and he took two businesses at the same time, 5,000 horsemen went south to Yuzhou to help Sima Yue, and another thousand rode south to Qingzhou.

The second time I was a major shareholder. It's a pity that he was exterminated by Yanzhou assassin Shi Gouxi.

This is the third time, and it is almost exclusively owned by him.

From the end of the first month, the counties of Qingzhou reported urgently, and Wang Mi's troops became larger and larger, and began to divide troops everywhere to attack the counties. However, there were no soldiers in the county, and many of the guards were killed.

At this time, few people paid attention to it, and it is estimated that Gou Xi, the governor of Qingzhou, was more concerned.

As we entered February, the situation became apparently serious.

Just like the spread of cancer cells, the range of activities of Wang Mi's people has increased significantly, and the number of people has also increased.

Even, the Heavenly Master Dao members who were hiding joined one after another, and used their religious connections to help Wang Mila gain strength and strength.

At the end of February, Shao Xun, who had just returned to Green Willow Garden for a few days, was called to Luoyang by Wang Yan again, which made him cry out for bad luck.

The location is still the royal family annex last time.

Wang Dun, who had learned a lesson, was expressionless, and spread out a map on the desk and briefly introduced the situation.

"The thieves are blazing." Wang Yan said.

"The thieves are monstrous." Shao Xun said.

He was a little hard to believe, because the thieves had already appeared in Yanzhou and Xuzhou, and it was reported that there would be a large number of people in the follow-up, swarming into Yanzhou.

How far is Shandong to Henan? According to Wang Mi's marching speed, Shao Xun could completely judge that they did not encounter many obstacles, and they were completely marching in arms.

The county towns and county seats, which are easy to attack, are swept down in one go.

The hard-to-attack Dock Fort was thrown aside.

The villages, earthen walls, and fortress walls that are easy to take are gnawed off to increase their strength.

"Situ, do you still doubt what I said?" Shao Xun asked.

Even if Gou Xi really can't beat Wang Mi, as long as he seriously encircles and suppresses and blocks it, he won't let Wang Mi make this kind of marching speed - he doesn't have a small motorcycle!

Wang Yan frowned, staring at the map, but he couldn't see why. After a moment, he looked at his younger brother Wang Dun, and then turned his gaze decisively to Shao Xun.

Wang Dun's face flashed with green energy, and he did not speak.

Shao Xun scratched the map with his finger and said, "If Wang Mi sets off from Qingzhou at this moment, if he doesn't fight, he can travel thirty miles a day, and he can reach Xuchang in mid-April and Luoyang in May." ”

How far is Qingzhou to Xuchang? More than a thousand miles.

Thirty miles a day is considered fast, and some armies can only travel twenty miles a day.

More than 1,000 miles, more than 40 days from Qingzhou to Xuchang, is it possible?

Possibly. The premise is not to fight, and to march all the way with arms.

It is possible for Wang Mi to create a miracle of not fighting a battle, passing through Shandong and Henan in 60 days, and arriving in Luoyang.

Hearing Shao Xun's words, Wang Yan was expressionless, because he didn't quite believe it yet.

But if everything comes true, he will be extremely disappointed in Gou Xi and Sima Yue in his heart.

He only cares about his own plans, but he doesn't want the court to be finished.

His cunning rabbit three caves have always only stared at the north, and he has never thought about giving the Central Plains to others and Gou'an Jiangnan.

"Taifu led tens of thousands of soldiers in Yan and Henan Prefectures, how could Wang Mi advance into Xuchang so easily? Don't mislead people. Wang Dun couldn't help it, this person has such a big reputation, how can he talk so nonsense.

Shao Xun was a little impatient.

Wang Dun, how can he be so small-minded? Where have I offended you?

But fortunately, the person in charge of the Wang family is the old wall lamp.

The old wall lamp has the ability, but he is very selfish, and now he has to fool him, let him support the scene in Luoyang, and shelter me from the wind and rain.

"Chu Zhong, I'm really not sure that Taifu will definitely avoid it. But everything that is foreseen is established, and what is not foreseen is wasted. Gou Xi has already let it, Taifu let it again, what's so strange? Shi Le, Shi Chao and others have already marched into Hebei, and Taifu Xing may want to transfer the main force to pacify the chaos in Hebei. Shao Xun said.

Hearing the word "Chu Zhong", Wang Dun was furious, what is your identity, dare to call me a cousin?

However, he was extremely angry, but he smiled and said, "Lu Yanghou is reasonable, but I was negligent. ”

Wang Yan frowned.

Shao Xun no longer paid attention to Wang Dun.

Leaving behind his wife and subordinates, he fled back to Luoyang alone, no matter what the reason, he couldn't escape the word "rat generation", and he didn't know what to be proud of.

This kind of person can only sprinkle in the circle of scholars.

Relying on his family background, he is sure that others will not dare to do anything to him. Even if he is arrested and imprisoned, someone will rescue him, so he will do something bold and out of the ordinary to make a reputation. But when he really encounters the moment of life and death, and others will not show mercy because of his family background, he will completely show his original form.

"Zhang Liangzhou wants to send Beigong Chun and other generals to lead Liangzhou's elite troops into Luojing, which is estimated to be on the road." Wang Yan said suddenly: "But relying on them alone is not enough, you have to rely on the forbidden army." What advice does the prince have? ”

"There are only four o'clock." Shao Xun said.

"First, immediately check the number and equipment of the forbidden army, so that you know it in your heart."

"Second, how much grain is stored in Taicang in Dongyangmen, check it carefully. How many equipment there are in the Luoyang arsenal must also be investigated. ”

"Third, repair the fortresses around Luoyang. It may be too late now, but you can stock up on your armor in case you need it. ”

"Fourth, issue an edict to all the states in the world, and order them to select and send elite soldiers, equipment, and money and grain to Beijing."

"That's all?"

"That's all."

Wang Yan stood up and walked around the courtyard, thinking carefully.

Wang Dun was a little irritated and left quietly.

Shao Xun continued to look at the map.

"How is the prince going to fight? Defensive or offensive? Wang Yan stopped and asked.

"Situ, what is the situation of the forbidden army now?" Shao Xun asked rhetorically.

"Look—it's all right." Wang Yan hesitated.

He originally wanted to say that the forbidden army was combatable, but looking at Shao Xun's gaze, he swallowed it back.

He was not sure about his military talents, and he used to ask his younger brother Wang Dun, but now he was disappointed in him, and secretly sighed that the Wang family might not have military strategy, so he did not dare to express his opinions at will.

"More than a year ago, the forbidden army was only 20,000 people, but it can defeat the current more than 50,000 forbidden army. I say so, Szeto Credible? Shao Xun asked.

"But when the prince talks about how to fight, don't talk about it." Wang Yan waved his hand and said.

"Guarding Luoyang is not in Luoyang itself, but in Luoyang Baguan." Shao Xun said: "For today's plan, we should find out the route of Wang Mi's march and then make a plan. ”

This is to defend the enemy outside Luoyang, that is, to take advantage of the mountains and rivers around the Luoyang Basin to defeat the thief army.

Shao Xun said it very plainly, Wang Yan understood it, and felt that this strategy was not wrong.

Of course, he won't just listen to Shao Xun.

He is trying to win over military talents, and it is impossible to win over Shao Xun alone.

He will listen to many opinions and finally report back to the Son of Heaven.

******

In the afternoon, Wang Yan entered the palace and asked right.

Shao Xun left the courtyard and returned to the Liang County station.

The Wang's courtyard is still quite chic.

When spring is melting, flowers are in full bloom and spring water is tinkling.

The winding corridor is built on top of the river pond, and you can also enjoy the swimming fish, which is not interesting.

The only discord was probably the occasional woman's sneer and man's angry swearing.

When Shao Xun walked through the corridor, he saw a palace beauty sitting in front of him.

The eyebrows are thin and curved, the skin is fair, the facial features are exquisite, the eyes are bright, and although the whole is not beautiful, it can also be called beautiful.

It also has a graceful and elegant bearing, and when looking at people, it even gives people a feeling of not being angry and arrogant.

Uh, she glanced at herself.

Shao Xun arched his hand and left.

The woman turned her head away and continued to stare at the pond.

After leaving the palace, Shao Xun first went to Mifu to visit, but he didn't see Mi Huang, the captain of Si Li, and heard that he had inspected the counties.

I had the heart to go to Cao Fu's house for a turn, and I was a little worried.

His self-control is a little poor now, and he is worried that he will really go on the horse to "rectify" Xiaohong, but it will not be beautiful.

Luoyang Street is bustling and crowded.

Several years of peace in a row have made people forget the painful memories of the beginning.

Shao Xun walked eastward along the inner royal street of Dongyang Gate.

He walked slowly, as if he were measuring step by step.

Five years ago, he was still a small person, following Mi Huang into the city from Jianchun Gate, and then turned onto this royal street.

Five years later, he was Wang Situ's guest.

Time urges people to grow old, but also urges people to forge ahead.

He did it.

"Go back." After leaving the Dongyang Gate, he commanded.

"Junhou, where are you going?" Tang Jian took the horses and asked.

"Yushanwu."

"No."

Shao Xun turned over and galloped away.

Now it's time to start preparing for war.

One game after another, there is no end to it.

If Wang Mi came to Luoyang from the direction of Xuchang, then there were basically two routes, one was the road where Shao Xun had attacked Liu Qiao for hundreds of miles, and the other was through Yangzhai County near Yushanwu, and then crossed the Yuyuan Pass into Luoyang.

The former is less likely and the latter is more likely because it is closer.

In fact, he wanted to send troops to Xuchang and go there to meet Wang Mi.

But he couldn't eat the strength and combat effectiveness of Wang Mi's troops, and he was even more worried that the Sun Tzu in Luoyang would not send reinforcements, would not distribute grain and grass, and would dry themselves in Xuchang - they had done it completely.

It's a society where there's no trust in each other.

After returning to Liang County, Shao Xun began a large-scale military training.

And at this time, the news came one after another.

In March, Wang Mi's movements became more and more obvious, and the main force had entered Yanzhou.

Taifu Sima Yue came to the mysterious operation again.

First, on the grounds that someone wanted to establish Sima Qin, the king of Qinghe, as the crown prince, he was imprisoned in Kim Yong City, and then killed.

Subsequently, Wang Bin, the general of Hebei Province, led 5,000 armor soldiers to Luoyang under the banner of "entering the Beijing Division".

In the end, Taifu left Xuchang and moved to Juancheng.

This posture is completely in response to the appearance of Hebei, because he also urged Wang Jun again and again to go south to attack Shile.

Wang Jun can actually shake the Xianbei cavalry, the group of Xianbei people who suppressed Liu Bogen at the beginning, and even have a lot of armored cavalry, but it's hard to say whether people come or not, after all, they have suffered losses in Chang'an.

On March 20, Lu Zhi hurriedly came to Yushanwu, and his first sentence shocked Shao Xun: "Junhou should evacuate the military and civilians of Yushanwu and retire to Liang County." ”
