Chapter Twenty-Nine: Fear of Lateness

After late August, the fighting in Luoyang became more and more intense.

The Xiongnu had completely occupied the three counties of Hu, Hongnong, and Shaanxi on the south bank of the Yellow River, and stationed troops in Xin'andong, taking control of the eastern gate of Hangu.

In all dynasties, the location of Hangu Pass is not the same.

Qinhan Valley Pass is in the southwest of Hongnong County (now in Lingbao), and was called Taolinsai in ancient times.

In the Spring and Autumn Period, the Marquis of Jin made Zhan Jia to guard the fortress of the peach forest.

It's not a path that can be taken all the time.

"Sanqin Ji" recorded: "Taolin is four hundred miles east of Chang'an, if there are military horses passing by, good travel, then Muhua Mountain rests under the forest; If you do evil deeds, the river will be extended, and people and horses will not be allowed to pass. ”

It can be seen that the geographical conditions are different in different periods. After the change of the Yellow River, people opened up new roads, and the road of Hangu Pass Town gradually became barren and untraveled, and Tongguan came into being - Tongguan can not only block the old road of Taolinsai, but also intercept the new road, and replace the status of Hangu Pass.

More than 60 miles east of Xin'an County (now in Xin'an), there is also the old site of Hanhan Valley Pass.

Hanhan Valley Pass is actually useless, because it can only hold Xin'an Road, but can not block Yiyang Road, the Kwantung army enters the pass in the west, you can bypass the Luoshui River Valley, bypass the Hanhan Valley Pass, but can't bypass the Qinhan Valley Pass.

The place where the Huns stationed their troops at this time was Hanhan Valley Pass.

Historically, the Northern Zhou Dynasty built a city here, called "Tongluo City", in order to force Qi.

The Chinese army of Luoyang had just fought a battle with the Huns here, and was defeated, losing 3,000 soldiers, and the rest of the people broke into the mountains to avoid the Hun rangers to hunt and kill. Especially those Ding Zhuang who were recruited from Xin'an County, ran home directly and hid, and no longer wanted to work for the imperial court.

Throughout August, the Xiongnu built a city here, and it seemed that they did not want to leave.

"Hongnong, such a place where birds don't, leave it to me, alas." Wang Mi climbed the Bandao to the east of the stream and looked down condescendingly.

He was accompanied by four people, namely the shogunate governor Shi Zhang Song, the governor of the tent Xu Miao, the governor of the outer capital Gao Liang, and the Yamen general Wang Yan - this person with the same name as the uncle of the country was a member of the Donglai Wang clan.

Hearing the sigh of his own lord, Zhang Song took a step forward and persuaded: "Although Hongnong has been in war for a long time, it is a foundation in the end. The waiter should be here to persuade the farmers to teach the mulberry, drill the soldiers and horses, and wait for the opportunity to go south to the Kunshan Mountain and take the pond. This county is in hand, and when the army goes south, there will be a place to rest, or it can slow down the Yiyang of Tuluochuan. ”

"Although Yiyang is only one county, it has a vast area, which is as big as two or three counties, and Shao thieves have been in business for many years, with many household registrations, and they are relatively wealthy, and they take great profits."

"After getting Yiyang, it is not appropriate for the servant to enter Luoyang lightly, but to trace the Luoshui upstream, take the Jin Shangluo, and think it is the rear."

"After working so hard for several years, we have gained a firm foothold."

Zhang Song talked eloquently, and said that Wang Mi's mood improved, so he smiled and said: "This is Jun Zhilongzhong, right? ”

Zhang Song smiled embarrassedly.

How can he dare to compare himself with Zhuge Kongming? Wang Feibao doesn't have Liu Xuande's ability......

However, Liu Xuande has spent half his life, and most of the time, his capital may not be as much as Wang Feibao.

The number of servants has recovered to more than 30,000 people, many of whom are surrendered from Guanzhong.

In this matter, the Son of Heaven (Liu Cong) is very kind. Perhaps, he also has a mind of checks and balances.

Zhao Ran, Zhao Gu, Shi Chao, Shi Le and other generations are not fuel-efficient lamps.

Oh, by the way, and Cao Wei. He has recently been expanding his territory in Qingzhou and consolidating his rule.

For this person, whether it is him or Wang Mi, they all have mixed feelings.

I heard that when Cao Wei went on the expedition, he encountered the seclusion of the soldiers, and strictly ordered the soldiers not to harass him, and sent people to present gifts to show his goodwill.

After the news got out, it was praised by some people.

Cao Wei is a man with brains, but Wang Shizhong would rather he have no brains, alas.

But then again, now Wang Shizhong is not so jealous of Cao Wei. After all, he was arranged to Hongnong, which is far away from Qingzhou, and it is unlikely that he will return to the east.

In this way, it is better to have a good fate, after all, Cao Wei was once in the old department, and the incense is still there.

"I heard that Shao Xun opened a mansion?" Wang Mi looked at the desolate plain in the distance and asked.

"Open the mansion with General Pingdong."

"Who is in charge of the pond?"

"Henan Yin Liu Mo."

"It's good if it's not under the control of the thief." Wang Mi breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Let's clean up the old pass of Hangu first, otherwise we won't be able to explain it to the imperial court." ”

When he said this, the cavalry of the brigade on the Bandao was heading eastward, heading towards Luoyang.

This is the forbidden army of the imperial court, and the combat effectiveness is not comparable to them, nor is it comparable to the Huns who were temporarily recruited.

Although Wang Mi did not have much loyalty to the Han court, he sometimes had to bow his head.

As for the pond, it is both a place name and a county name.

There is Bear's Ears Mountain in the north of Luoshui, and the two mountains compete to be lifted, which is the same as Bear's Ears (Little Bear's Ears Mountain, not the big Bear's Ears Mountain in the south). There is a pond between the mountains, the pond water flows southeast, there is a pond on the side of the water, and the world is called the pond.

This pond is named because there is a kind of insect called "黾" in the water, and it is roughly located in the mountains north of Kinmen and Danshan Erwu.

In fact, there are not many people in the mountains, and Huangchi County has been governing Licheng in the Luoshui River Valley Plain since the Cao Wei period.

Licheng has been eroded by wind and rain, and it is in decay and dilapidated.

At this time, there are no people and no county orders in Huangchi and Licheng, and there is only one place name left.

If Wang Mi only wanted to occupy the Huangchi County in the mountains, it would not be difficult, because there was no one to defend it.

If you want to go south to occupy the county seat of Huangchi (Licheng) in Yiyang County, you can only take the mountain path.

But he can't help it, the expansion route has been limited, except for Luoyang in the east, there is only Yiyang in the south.

"How's the fight going in Luoyang?" Wang Mi got off the saka road and asked.

"The Jin people suffered a defeat in Xin'an and retreated." Xu Miao said: "I don't know what crazy they are. The last time I came to Luoyang, I retreated into the city and couldn't hold out, but this time I went to Xin'an to fight, and I don't know who is commanding now. ”

"Not to mention Xin'an, they also fought a battle in Mangshan, Henan Yin Liu Mo personally commanded, and was defeated by General Anxi (Liu Ya), losing 4,000 soldiers." Gao Liang said again.

"Liu Anxi has won two wins in Chang'an and Luoyang, and the momentum is good."

"That is, there may be hair growth in the future."

While they were talking, they had returned to the camp.

The captured people of Henan trembled and cut down trees and stones, and repaired the city.

Wang Mi didn't even look at it, and went straight to the camp.

He has to think about the future now, and Yiyang is the biggest obstacle in his way.

******

Sima Chi, the Son of Heaven, came to the Xiamen Tower in the north of the city again.

In the first half of the year, he personally commanded Ximing Tower, commanded Ruoding, took 5,000 Liangzhou troops as the vanguard, and tens of thousands of horses followed, and defeated Hu Yanyan.

It's only been half a year, and without the Liangzhou Army, the forbidden army has lost two battles and two defeats, which made him sober up all of a sudden.

It turns out that the forbidden army is rotten to this extent? Obviously, they marched forward with a loud voice, shouting and fighting, and they were extremely brave.

"Your Majesty, the forbidden army can only fight a good battle, and cannot win a reverse battle." Wang Yan seemed to see through his thoughts, and said: "If you lose one or two more games, Luoyang will not be guaranteed." ”

"Your Majesty, don't waste the battle." Xun Fan originally had some opinions on Wang Yan's always scaring the Son of Heaven, but he felt that he should be frightened, so as not to make the Son of Heaven feel good about himself, so he only heard him say: "The minister heard that some soldiers complained that the acres of land at home could not be harvested, and they had to go out of the city to fight to the death, and there was no reward, so they wanted to disperse the noise." ”

"What?" The Son of Heaven was shocked and asked, "Can it be justified and punished?" ”

"The third governor Xu Lang has suppressed the commotion." Xun Fan said: "But we can't fight any longer, we can only hold on now." The morale of the soldiers is low, and it is a day to be able to hold on for a day. ”

The Son of Heaven was stunned when he heard this, and his face became even more anxious.

"We need to have elite soldiers to help." Wang Yan said expressionlessly: "For example, if a person has three souls and seven spirits, without this, he is a walking corpse." ”

"This ......" I don't know what came to mind, Tianzi's pale face slowly turned red, so red that it was a little abnormal, as if he was embarrassed about something.

After a long time, he propped his hands on the wall, his expression gloomy.

"Send an envoy to Zhuzheng Town and ask it to send troops to help Luoyang." After a long time, the Son of Heaven said: "As far as the other uncles are concerned, Luo Jing is in danger, if it is still saved, it will not be caught in the future." ”

Xun Fan sighed secretly when he heard this.

Although the Son of Heaven is not successful, such a low-lying begging makes him feel very uncomfortable.

Within a year or two, the situation took a turn for the worse, and the prestige of the Heavenly Family was gone.

As dependent on the imperial power, they don't know how long they can sit in the court.

The northern part of the city resounded with the thunderous sound of horses' hooves.

The huge Luoyang Valley has become the racecourse of the Huns, which is a pity.

The fertile farmland has become the grazing land of the Huns, which is sad.

According to the news from the forbidden army, Liu Han's army saw that Luoyang could not be taken by force, so he changed his playing style, encroached on the surroundings of Luoyang, and tightened the noose around Luoyang's neck step by step.

In the past, Wang Mi built a city in Xin'an, and then Liu Ya attacked Wubao in Yanshi, Wushi and other places, which was planned to rely on not leaving.

Actually, it's normal.

After taking Chang'an, Liu Cong's attention turned back to Luoyang. He must be very eager to take this city now, and use this landmark event to announce the transfer of the destiny of heaven to the whole world.

No one knows how long the Xiongnu will remain here.

No one knows how long Luoyang can hold out.

Perhaps, it is inevitable to summon soldiers from other towns to help, and Wang Yifu's suggestion is not wrong.
