Early morning, mist.

A convoy left Xiyangmen and stopped after a few miles.

The sergeant immediately unfolded, climbed up to a high platform with a sigh, and then hung up the crossbow machine, and arranged the sword, shield, and foot archers.

The high platform is very large, can garrison hundreds, more than five zhang high, is built by Liang Ji, the general of the Han Dynasty, and is called "the queen's daughter's platform".

To the north, the Queen's Terrace is a large messy building, which has been burned by fire, and there is no one in ten.

This is one of the markets outside Luoyang City (Big City, South Market, Horse Market), which is very large. At its peak, grain, cloth, skin, salt and oil, sugar tea, fruits and vegetables were all available, and the varieties were very rich.

The largest fruit and vegetable shop in the city, owned by Wang Yan's family, has been closed for a long time, and the shop and warehouse have even burned down, as if it could not be opened.

The north of the big city, then the Xiyang Gate outside the royal road, after the entrance to the Xiyang Gate inside the royal road, directly to the palace city, at this time is constantly passing the army, mighty and mighty, the fish runs out.

Xu Lang, the governor of the third department of the left guard, looked at the princess's platform, pointed with his hand, and said: "The two earth mountains are also occupied, each divided into two hundred people, and another village is set up after the fish pond, and the troops are divided into four hundred." ”

"No." There is a military academy that takes the order to go.

The first gate of Luoyang west from south to north is Ximing Gate, and the second gate is Xiyang Gate.

The big city is a landmark building outside the Xiyang Gate, there is the queen girl platform in the south, and there are two earth mountains in the northwest, which are built artificially - "mining soil to build mountains, ten miles and nine mountains, to like two Kun".

As for what the fish pond at the bottom of the mountain symbolizes, there are different opinions, and it is more likely that it does not symbolize anything at all, but simply takes soil to build a large pit dug out of the mountain.

"Defend the western city, but don't even guard the high places outside the city, this battle is fought, alas." Xu Lang sighed for a while and then shut up without saying more.

At the time of the defeat of Xin'an, the retreating battalions were panicked and incapacitated, and they all wanted to drill into the city, not to stay outside the city as a substitute for the dead. At this time, who will actively arrange the line of defense?

waited until most of the Hun cavalry outside the city dispersed, and it didn't look so scary, so he had the courage to go out of the city and build a peripheral defense line outside the city.

"General, did Shile go to Nancheng?" Sima Huang Biao of the precursor battalion took two steps closer and asked quietly.

"Yes." Xu Lang nodded.

"Then it must be to cut off the return of the army." Huang Biao hurriedly said: "Why don't you send troops to save it quickly?" ”

"Who ordered it?" Xu Lang asked rhetorically.

Huang Biao was stunned.

Xun Song led the army to a great defeat, and was demoted several levels, and now the forbidden army does not even have a commander, and it is theoretically under the control of Wang Yan, the chief lieutenant. But it is impossible for Wang Yan to let their remnants of the defeated army leave the city at this time, isn't that sending them to death?

"Don't worry." Xu Lang said: "Shile only sent cavalry, no baggage troops, starting from Xin'an, carrying a maximum of seven days of water. If you don't have anything to do, you'll have to go back in a few days. ”

Huang Biao was still a little worried.

The North Shore doesn't know what the fight will be, even if it wins, how long will the grain and grass last?

At the beginning of August, 100,000 Hu was sent, in early September more than 100,000 Hu, and Xinzheng allocated 50,000 Hu, which is enough to eat for less than four months.

Even if some people were killed and some horses were damaged, it would have been enough to hold out until the end of September at most.

Once defeated, it is really unimaginable.

Now Shile occupies the south bank of the Yellow River, and sends cavalry to patrol along the river, and the food and resources for boats and ferries will be greatly affected.

The most important thing is not this, but where the follow-up grain and grass will come from!

Thinking of this, he decided to write a letter to Xuchang and ask Cao Gong to find a way as soon as possible. On the side of the imperial court, don't count on it, he suspects that the Son of Heaven will not send food to Chen Gong at all, let alone send it out.

The sergeants who went out of the city had already begun to build a defensive line around the city, Xu Lang looked at it for a while, then got off the royal platform, turned over his horse, and patrolled along the Xiyangmen Imperial Road.

More than half a month has passed since the Battle of Xin'an, and the Luoyang Forbidden Army has successively recovered to 24,500 people, which is about the same as before the war. But it's just that the number of people is about the same, but the quality is too bad.

He looked at the Ximing Gate to the south.

The sergeants also went out of the city, but they only camped outside the city gate, and they didn't even dare to camp four miles out of the city like Xiyangmen.

The frightened bird, a gloomy cloud, what can the husband say!

******

At noon, light rain.

A convoy arrived outside the Futu of Prince Zhuohuai, and the monks had already received the notice and came out to greet and even salute.

According to the system, people outside the square do not need to bow to the heavenly family. But when is it now? The mages also have brains, why don't you hurry up and kneel down and lick some food back? If you continue to do it, let alone hit the bell, you won't even have the strength to chant the scriptures.

Queen Liang Lanbi got out of the car, wore a hat, and after greeting the monks, she entered a Buddhist hall on the northwest side.

Everything has already been prepared in the Buddha hall, and after the incense is finished, it is time to chant and pray for blessings.

The general in the palace, Miao Yuan, led troops to guard outside, and occasionally looked at the temple scenery.

Don't say it, these mages are quite good at enjoying it.

Although it is located in the city of Luoyang, it is quite well organized, with green trees and bamboo forests, pond gardens, and corridors, and the scenery is quiet.

There are 42 Buddhist temples around Luoyang, including White Horse Temple, Bodhisattva Temple, Stone Pagoda Temple, Manshui Temple, Dashi Temple, Fashili Temple, Panhushan Temple, and the Futu of Prince Huai.

To be honest, these Buddhist temples have been affected by a certain degree of war, and life is a bit sad. Located in Luoyang City, the Futu of the Prince of Chuhuai can only barely survive by donations from the royal family and the minister.

Today, the queen came to pray for blessings, and the mages couldn't be happier.

Miao Yuan held the saber and began to make a serious inspection.

In the Buddhist hall, Liang Lanbi has already taken out a piece of Buddhist scriptures.

Buddhist scriptures are made of 榆欓 (dǎng), precious and abnormal, and originally stored in the White Horse Temple - "The beginning is the Yu Sheng Sutra, the white horse negative picture, and the summer in the table, so the white horse is the name of the temple." ”

The words on the wooden slip are dense and elegant, and Liang Lanbi still reads it smoothly, obviously having read it many times.

After reading one, the palace people lightly put the second one away, and then put away the previous one.

Liang Lanbi read and read, her legs were numb, but she held back and insisted on reading the last word.

The palace man put away the last wooden slip.

Liang Lanbi closed her eyes and prayed silently: "The concubine only wishes that the world is peaceful, the monarchs and ministers get along, and the people are healthy." If this wish is fulfilled, I will devote myself to worshiping the Buddha and worship the Buddha without stopping......"

After praying for blessings, his eyes were slightly red, and he silently recited in his heart: "If there is any disaster, come to me, the Son of Heaven is just too worried that he will stop making mistakes." ”

After reading, he calmed down, and slowly walked out of the Buddhist hall with the support of the palace people.

The autumn wind is blowing, and the leaves are all over the ground.

Seeing such a bleak scene, Liang Lanbi felt even more sad in her heart. She tightened the letter in her sleeve and hesitated.

The monks stood at a distance, all bowing their heads and folding.

Liang Lanbi swept them one by one, and sighed lightly when she saw a few thin little novices.

She summoned a maid, whispered a whisper, and handed the letter to her.

The palace maid left quietly.

The rain gradually stopped, and the dark clouds quietly dispersed, revealing a few golden lights.

A look of surprise appeared on Liang Lanbi's face.

So I didn't do anything wrong? Does Heaven approve me like this?

Chen Gong's army is the last barrier in Luoyang, if it is lost on the north bank of the river, even without the Hun army coming, relying on Shi Le and Wang Mi alone can break through Luoyang.

But then there was some panic, because the rumors in the spread were so scary that even she was shaken.

Chen Gong won't stop here, right?

If you annoy him, you will never recover.

Liang Lanbi sighed in a low voice, and his mind was out of the Futu of the prince of Huai, got in the car and left.

******

In the evening, the sun is full of sunset.

Wang Yan sat behind the desk and read a letter slowly.

The letter was written by Shao Xun, written five days ago in the Hun camp of Shamati, and sent to Luoyang.

After reading it, Wang Yan closed his eyes and thought silently.

No one in Beijing has yet known the outcome of the Battle of Shamatti, and most of the ministers only know that there is a war there, and they still know about it from the court meeting.

Wang Yan has not expressed his opinion on this battle.

Under the cold watch, he found that the court had been de facto divided.

If in the past, everyone just had to cooperate with Chen Gong because of their lives, but now it is different.

Some people really want Chen Gong to be in power.

The story of Sima Yue, in charge of the forbidden army, the court, and the governor's war against the Xiongnu.

Before the results of the battle of Shama Causeway were returned, there were many people who supported Chen Gong, and if he won the battle, what would happen?

Wang Yan only felt a little ridiculous, laughing at these people and laughing at himself.

At this time, I don't mention Shao Xun's background, I can tolerate him climbing on his head, and he is condescending, and thinking about it makes people laugh.

"Alas!" Wang Yan put the letter down.

Reality is the most educational.

I can carry it once or twice, and I won't change my opinion since I was young.

What about three or four times? I'm afraid it's a little shaken.

Okay, you can still carry it three or four times, and now five or six times, can you still carry it?

In Luoyang City, even the minister's house does not have much food in stock, let alone the people.

At the end of this battle, whether Chen Gong wins the battle or not, it will be another wave of southward climax.

Those who are unwilling to cross south should think carefully, who can better protect their own interests? Imperial Court or Duke Chen?

After sighing, Wang Yan took a pen and paper, wrote a letter, and ordered the servants to send it to the branch of the Chenjun branch.

Meizi is supervising Cao Yun in Chen County, and there will be almost another batch of Cao boats coming.

With this letter, he will definitely go to Cao Fu to discuss, and with the cooperation of the two, things will be easy to handle.

The Son of Heaven is really fooling around! Don't look at the time either. If you continue to do it, everyone will betray and leave, and no one will be able to save you - in this matter, Wang Yan will not understand the worry of the Son of Heaven, and he is unwilling to understand.

After the letter was delivered, he picked up the other one on the desk and began to read it a second time, carefully smacking the flavor.

The letter was written by Mao Hong (Wang Dao), and it was mostly about Jianye.

After reading it, Wang Yan was very emotional, it was not easy for Mao Hong to be over there.

When they crossed to the south just now, the Wu people didn't buy it, and even looked at each other coldly. However, there are a lot of people who have brought it over, and the expenses are huge, and they can't make ends meet.

At the most difficult time, the officials of the Langya King shogunate had to run to tell each other when they got a dolphin, and they were overjoyed.

A few years later, the situation has changed dramatically.

Maohong went around pulling relationships, making friends, and even regardless of his identity, he participated in the gatherings of the lower scholars and the powerful in Jiangdong, which gradually made the wealthy families of Jiangdong change their opinion of King Langya and slowly support him.

Later, he wooed Wu Di Haoqiang, gave him official positions and real power, and bragged about them, exerting tremendous pressure on the Wu Di clan headed by Gu Lu, Zhu and Zhang.

By now, the Jiangdong clan and Haoqiang have taken refuge in them, and their foundations are becoming more and more stable, and life is much better.

Next, Maohong needs to balance the relationship between the Nandu scholars, the Jiangdong scholars, and the upstart Haoqiang.

This is what Wang Yan is good at, and it is also the Wang family's stunt, so he is not worried at all.

He was more worried about the attitude of the Jianye shogunate towards Shao Xun.

In the letter, Mao Hong asked Shao Xun whether he would risk the disapproval of the world, control the government, and abolish the government.

In this regard, Wang Yan could only smile bitterly.

When is it, there will be infighting!

Could it be that infighting is a characteristic of my Great Jin Dynasty?

He knew very well what Mao Hong meant by asking this sentence, it was nothing more than King Langya and the three forces that were gradually forming behind him (Nandu Shi clan, Jiangdong old money, and Haoqiang upstart) were paying attention to the Luoyang Dynasty situation, testing whether it was necessary to respect this court.

If you feel the need, then pinch your nose and continue to deliver money and food.

If it is not necessary, then let King Langya "undertake the production and supervision of the country" in Jianye.

As for who is the producer and supervisor of the country, it doesn't matter, as long as the Jiangdong forces recognize you.

Since Chen Min's rebellion, the Jiangdong Shi clan has been hovering between self-reliance and non-self-reliance, and their centrifugal tendencies are very serious.

Now that the prestige of the imperial court is far less than that of Chen Min's rebellion, there are more people who support self-reliance.

If one is not careful, the Great Jin Dynasty will disperse.

Wang Yan didn't allow such a thing to happen, he felt that he still had to go into the palace to "talk to the Son of Heaven" to dispel his worries, and not to force people to rebel.

After winning the battle of Shamadi, the three cities of Heyang can be built as scheduled, and then it will be up to Chen Gong to solve Wang Mi, who is entrenched in Hongnong.
