Less than half a month after Shao Xun and Wang Yan entered the palace to ask each other, Wang Mi's army rushed to Xuchang.

The defenders only had a ridiculous thousand men, and after a war drum, they were taken directly.

Then came a "gluttonous feast"!

The soldiers of the royal department faded away from their human nature, fully demonstrated their animal nature, burning, killing and looting in Xuchang, a famous city in Yuzhou, and did all kinds of evil.

Wang Mi didn't care.

Don't let the sons and daughters vent well, who will die for you when you go into battle?

You don't give money and food, and you don't have kindness, people come with you all the way, what are you trying to do?

Therefore, he thinks very thoroughly, he should be happy, he should fight, he should fight, there is wine today, he is drunk today, people are dead and birds are facing the sky, he is afraid of a fart!

"The general has raised righteous teachers to level the world, and he has been responsible for restraining his troops, strictly enforcing military discipline, and thinking that the world is an example." A kidnapped scholar advised: "Now in the place where we pass, there are many killings, and the people are scattered, and the voices of grumbling are on the roads. In the long run, it will be criticized by others, and the name of the general's benevolence will be damaged. ”

"What did the old man say?" The forward general Liu Ling laughed and said, "If you have the ability, don't eat the food we robbed." ”

Wang Sang, who had just rushed into the yahall, smiled when he heard this: "This old man is duplicitous, he ate happily yesterday, three full bowls." ”

The old man's face was red, and after a long sigh, he gave up persuasion.

Wang Mi, who was wiping the saber, put down the cloth and said, "Gong Xie, you have read the book, and I have also read it." More on that later. When Han Guangwu was successful, was the military discipline good? When Emperor Wei Wu pacified the world, didn't he kill innocents indiscriminately? After the capture of Luoyang, I will restrain the military discipline, and I will consult Gong Xie at that time. ”

"Luoyang is the pivot of the world, how can it be said that it can be defeated by fighting?" Gong Xie shook his head.

"Isn't Xuchang an important town?" Wang Mi said disdainfully: "I thought it would take some effort, but I just beat a drum, and the first warrior took the city, what did Gong Xie say?" ”

Gong Xie was speechless, and said after a while: "Taifu bears the weight of the world, holds heavy soldiers, but he does not save the charcoal, and sooner or later he will be abandoned by the world." ”

"Haha!" The hall was filled with laughter and a cheerful air.

No one expected that Sima Yue, who was in power and opposition, did not dare to wait for them in Xuchang, so he avoided it in a hurry and easily gave up this important town. Change the leader of the righteous teacher at the low point of vision, Xuchang is enough for him to go to the altar to worship the sky and become the emperor of the country.

Convoluted! Incomprehensible!

"Sima Yue is just a vain name." Wang Mi smiled proudly and said, "When I came out of Qingxu Erzhou, he didn't dare to go to Juancheng and nested in Xuchang. When I went deep into Yuzhou, he abandoned Xuchang and moved to Juancheng. What do you say about Pingzhen Hebei? I think I'm scared and don't dare to fight. ”

"He has never won a war, so what is there to fear?" Wang Sang said with a smile: "When you enter Luoyang, capture his wife and children, and see what face he has in the world." ”

"The skin on people's faces is better than triple armor, what about wives and children being held? I didn't move. ”

"I don't know what he's thinking. Luoyang is gone, he is the most responsible, and the world will be in an uproar, can he still sit firmly in the position of prime minister? ”

"Maybe he's happy to see Luoyang broken."

The middle-level generals in the hall also ridiculed Sima Yue, and they were tricky and vicious, which made people laugh.

Gong Xie shook his head when he heard this, obviously he didn't understand Sima Yue's behavior, but he felt that he had gone crazy.

Wang Mi wiped the saber and threw it on the desk with a "bang".

Some people heard the movement and put away their smiles.

Some people are still giggling and don't care.

What's more, some people asked the sergeant walking by outside the door at the top of their throat what they were eating today.

The corners of Wang Mi's mouth twitched, and he suddenly thought of a question, so he turned his head to look at his younger brother Wang Sang and asked, "How many troops do I have now?" ”

Wang Sang was stunned and said, "Fifty thousand? ”

"You're dizzy? When I left Qingzhou, it was more than 50,000. Wang Mi glared at him.

"Eighty thousand?" Wang Sang said uncertainly.

"I think there are 100,000." Liu Ling said.

"No less than 100,000."

"Twelve or thirty thousand."

"More than that, more than that, there should be 150,000."

"You said less, there are 178,000 people."

Listening to everyone's gossip answers, the corners of Wang Mi's mouth twitched even more.

He didn't know if he was the first commander of an army in the past who didn't know how many soldiers he had.

But he wasn't to blame for that.

Along the way, people keep joining and people leaving, who knows how many soldiers there are?

He sealed out dozens of generals before and after, some of whom they had never seen in person, only on paper, and they didn't even know where they were now or if they were still there.

Never mind! Wang Mi comforted himself silently.

Tens of thousands of troops with a look like a little bit have been organized, which are controlled by the old brothers, and they have been constantly reorganized and trained along the way, and they can also go into battle to fight a dozen.

Other people like to do what they like, and it's always good to be strong.

When attacking the passes and cities, they can also be pulled over and use their lives to find a way.

Just take Luoyang! As long as Luoyang is taken, everything will be fine.

When the time comes, I will not run away, and I will establish a system in Luoyang with peace of mind, rectify the army, appoint officials, and stabilize this foundation.

"Xuchang is an important town, can you confiscate the equipment?" Wang Mi asked again.

He mainly looked at Liu Ling.

This gentleman is a native of Yangping, his family is so poor that he can't eat enough, but his strength is infinite, and he doesn't know how to grow.

Running cows and horses, he easily subdued them with his bare hands.

Just because of this hand, it is quite famous in the countryside. Later, he joined the Heavenly Master Dao and became a master step by step, and when the Gongshi Domain started, he gathered thousands of people and called himself a general, and was later dispersed.

This guy is a hardcore thief.

When the world is peaceful, he often strokes his chest and sighs: "When will the world be in chaos?" ”

After the chaos, he was like a fish in water, and he bravely won the three armies.

It can be said that he is the most capable person in this team, except for him Wang Mi, so he is the vanguard, with 20,000 or 30,000 people.

"General, there are only tens of thousands of soldiers in the arsenal, which is too little." Liu Ling said: "Sima Yue must have been deceived by his gang. Many of the instruments are decayed, and I wonder if they are old goods from the Cao Wei period. ”

"You didn't torture the treasury officer?" Wang Mi asked.

"Hit it, and kill a few, it's useless." Liu Ling sighed: "The treasury official shouted Qu, saying that the Marquis of Luyang led the army to attack and occupy Xuchang, and the treasury was empty. ”

"Really?"

"I can't leave it, a lot of people have seen it."

"What is the position of Lu Yanghou now?"

Liu Ling opened his mouth and stammered, he couldn't be right.

"Gong Xie?" Wang Mi asked again.

"Lu Yanghou is Shao Xun, the general of the material officer, from a humble background and outstanding skills." Xie Gong said: "I went to Hebei in the year, broke Jisang, and captured more than 10,000 people. The year before last in Chang'an, he besieged and killed 5,000 Xianbei cavalry, and he was also a bold man. ”

When Wang Mi heard this, he sighed: "This person cannot be used by me. ”

"The Marquis of Luyang is the general of the Yue Mansion, how can he descend you?" Gong Xie sighed.

Wang Mi snorted coldly and said, "When I break through Luoyang and capture Sima Yue's wife, I will reward it to Shao Xun." He has insulted his master's mother, who else can I descend if he doesn't descend? I don't believe it! ”

"You!" Gong Xie scolded: "Marquis Luyang has repeatedly gone out for the imperial court and the Taifu, and he is loyal, how can he do such an ugly thing?" ”

"I'm afraid he also thinks of his own housewife in his heart." Wang Mi casually hilarated, then ignored this person, turned to look at Liu Ling, and said: "The equipment in the arsenal, you pick and choose, and send it if it is useful, and then there will be a big battle." ”

"No." Hearing the word "big war", Liu Ling was a little excited.

"Brother, where are you going next?" Wang Sang asked.

"I intend to attack the Yuyuan Pass and go straight to Luoyang." Wang Mi said.

"Why don't you go to Yique Pass?"

"The sons and daughters are shouting every day, they can't wait to fly to Luoyang, and they don't want to delay for a day, what can I do?" Wang Mi said with a headache: "Who let Yuyuan Pass nearly a hundred miles? ”

"Is it easy to go?"

Wang Mi recalled for a moment, a little unsure.

When he was young, he used to travel all over the country, went to Luoyang, and even got acquainted with Liu Yuan, the lord of the Han Dynasty. But he couldn't remember whether he had been to Yuyuan Pass, so he could only prevaricate: "Let's go and see it first, maybe it's better to go." ”

"Yes." Wang Sang nodded and said, "In the past two years, we haven't traveled all the way. Whatever, when he met the officers and soldiers, he rushed to kill for a while and then collapsed, all of them were that virtuous. ”

"Luoyang Wentian is martial arts, I heard that the forbidden army is also over, so I shouldn't be able to fight."

Well? Wang Mi glanced at the person who spoke.

The journey went very smoothly, and some people even said that the forbidden army could not fight? If you can't fight anymore, can you be worse than the state and county soldiers? Can it be worse than Sima?

He subconsciously felt that something was wrong, some people were proud of themselves, and they would suffer in the long run.

However, it is not yet possible to make a big rectification.

The morale can be inspired, and when Luoyang is laid down and officially established, this group of rabbit cubs must be cleaned up.

"Second brother." Wang Mi suddenly shouted.

"Brother."

"Forget it for two days. From the day after tomorrow, you lead people to gather the lower troops, don't let people run too loose. Wang Mi advised: "If anyone does not listen, send them to Yique Pass, and don't follow us." ”

"No." Wang Sang happily agreed, and said, "Let's go to Yuyuan Pass, enter Luoyang first, and let those boys follow behind to eat ashes." ”

As soon as this remark came out, everyone laughed.

Gong Xie shook his head helplessly, as if lamenting that such a rabble actually rushed all the way to Xuchang and even the vicinity of Luoyang without hindrance, isn't it a big joke in the world?

After a few days of "resting" in Xuchang, in late April, Wang Mi's army left Xuchang in batches and headed straight for the northwest.

Along the way, there is an endless stream of people and horses.

The Yingchuan families kept their doors behind closed doors, like quails, hiding in the dock fort, not wanting to have any conflict with the thief army.

There are too many thieves!

The mountains are all over the place, endless, densely packed. If you stop and besiege a certain dock fort, no one can withstand it, and there is a great possibility that the family will be ruined and killed.

Everyone secretly begged this group of plague gods to leave quickly and stop harming Yingchuan again.

Of course, there are also brave people with bright eyes, looking around for villages and forts that have been plagued by thieves, and see if they can be swallowed up.

This is the troubled times, there is no strict boundary between the victim and the perpetrator, and the transition is free.
