Liu Hong, although he is a faint man.

But in fact, for most people, when he is in this position, there is a high probability that he is also a faint king.

The emperor who can turn the tables in his situation may not exceed the number of five fingers in history.

During this period, the family had too much power and too many resources, Liu Hong could only favor the eunuchs and promote the poor family, the family had no one available, the treasury was still extremely empty, and at the same time, he had no foundation at all.

He wanted to change this status quo, but as a result, a series of means directly blew up those big families, which indirectly led to the Yellow Turban Uprising, and had to disarm the party and decentralize power, which further worsened the situation.

In the face of this situation, although Liu Hong is helpless, it does not mean that he is willing to give up his position.

When he heard that Guangcheng Pass was broken, Liu Hong panicked.

He knew that the world was in chaos, and he also knew that the three major generals he sent out were all killed, but he never dreamed that things would deteriorate to this point, and the thief army would want to capture Luoyang!

How did this happen?

It's too sudden!

In Liu Hong's opinion, even if there is a lot of trouble outside, there are big families to help him clean up the situation, which is what they should do.

But if the thief army invades Luoyang, it won't work!

After inquiring, Liu Hong learned that the leader of the thieves who captured Guangcheng Pass was Nanyang Lu Yu!

"Nanyang Lu Yu?"

Liu Hong felt that this name was somewhat familiar, and hurriedly asked about this person's experience.

Soon, there were eunuchs who told the emperor about many deeds about Lu Yu.

But those things made Liu Hong confused for a while.

He couldn't help but glance at the eunuch and interrupted directly: "Why are you talking about myths?" ”

It's thunder again, it's dragon slaying again, and the sun is soaring, and the three gods are helping, listening to it, I really can't listen to it.

What are they and what are they?

In reality, how can there be any of this?!

Liu Hong said with some annoyance: "I asked you to tell you about Lu Yu, why did you tell me these mythical stories?!" ”

"You don't want to say it, then Lu Yu really knows how to spell?"

"Are you taking me for a fool?!"

The emperor was angry, and the eunuch was so frightened that he quickly knelt down and said, "Your Majesty is angry, but that's what the intelligence says...... It's not like a minion made it up out of thin air. ”

Hearing this, Liu Hong couldn't help frowning, snorted and said, "It must be those thieves who deliberately publicized this, and regarded it as true intelligence, it's really just a bunch of wine bags and rice bags, and they can't even do this thing!" ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone lowered their heads and did not mean to talk back.

"Where's Jian Shuo?"

Liu Hong frowned and asked.

"The minister is here!" Jian Shuo stepped forward.

Although Jian Shuo is a eunuch, he is strong and full of martial arts, and has always been Liu Hong's trusted courtier.

At this moment, Luoyang is in danger, and for Liu Hong, it is natural to send his most trusted person to Yique Pass to defend.

"I have appointed you as the captain of the North Gate, and let you lead the forbidden army of 4,000 to defend the Yique Pass! Can you be confident? Liu Hong asked seriously.

"Confidence in the minister! Refuse thieves outside the gate, and no more inch! Jian Shuo said loudly.

"What if?" Liu Hong glanced at Jian Shuo.

"Locked up in people, locked up in death!" Jian Shuo said loudly.

"Good, good!" Liu Hong nodded with satisfaction.

At the long-lost court meeting, when the civil and military officials heard this appointment, they looked at each other one by one, but no one spoke, obviously acquiescing to His Majesty's choice.

For these officials of the big families, no matter how brave Jian Shuo is, no matter how he has a martial strategy, he is just a gelding!

Can he be awarded the captain of the North Gate, let him lead the forbidden army of 4,000, and defend the Yique Pass?

It's ridiculous!

Think that there are righteous and brave soldiers in the world, willing to listen to the driving advice of eunuchs??

However, this was the current situation of the imperial court, and the emperor trusted the eunuchs far more than the officials of the family.

At this moment, the order has been given, and although everyone is a little unhappy, no one has opened their mouths to refute it, let alone admonish.

The reason is also very simple.

The thief army has a fierce momentum, but it captured Guangcheng Pass in half a day, and I heard that the thief leader is still that Nanyang True Immortal, and Lu Yu, the god of soldiers who wrote the "New Book of Ji Xiao"!

It is said that this thief leader has also developed a new weapon called 'firearms', which can be described as invincible.

Therefore, it is quite appropriate to go to defend Yique Pass here, and it is extremely dangerous, so that the eunuch can come out and take a look at Lu Yu's depth!

Although they were unhappy, they had no reason to speak out.

At this moment, Liu Hong, who was above, glanced at the ministers in some surprise after issuing the order.

In normal times, when they gave such an order, these ministers would definitely jump out to oppose it.

And now, it's so quiet?

What an anomaly!

Although Liu Hong was a little puzzled, he didn't ask.

After all, wouldn't it be better not to object?

……

Jizhou.

When Zhang Jiao heard the latest news, he couldn't help but be stunned.

"He still insisted on going his own way and risked attacking Luoyang?"

"And...... Did he really let him capture a Xiongguan? ”

"But in half a day, Guangcheng Pass was directly breached?"

"This ......"

Zhang Jiao was silent, and his mood was a little complicated for a while.

In his opinion, it was too crazy to rashly attack Luoyang.

Although Lu Yu's analysis is very reliable, it is his analysis after all!

In Zhang Jiao's view, even if he goes through a lot of hardships and captures Luoyang, it does not mean that he will succeed, and he will have to face the crusade of people from all over the world.

He had already told Lu Yu about these thoughts in a secret letter.

It's a pity that Lu Yu didn't listen to it, but insisted on going his own way, continuing to attack Luoyang, and now he has also captured a Xiongguan, which has attracted the attention of the whole world!

In Zhang Jiao's view, this kind of crazy behavior is tantamount to self-destruction.

……

Jingzhou.

When Sun Jian heard the news, he couldn't help but be dumbfounded.

"Going to attack Luoyang?"

"And captured Guangcheng Pass?!"

"This ......"

Since Zhu Jun's death, Sun Jian has gathered a lot of defeated troops and strengthened his power to a certain extent.

He then suppressed the Yellow Turbans elsewhere in Jingzhou.

He can't beat Lu Yu in Nanyang, but the yellow turban thieves in other places can be bullied!

With his personal bravery, Sun Jian quickly became famous and famous!

Nowadays, there are many people under his command, and even Xu Xuan, the assassin, respectfully calls General Sun, and if he encounters something that cannot be decided, he will listen to the opinion of this young man.

Although Sun Jian is young, he has already shown some good features, which made Xu Xuan of the assassin Shi stunned, and he felt that this young man was really unusual.

At this moment, Xu Xuan, the assassin, also heard the news that Luoyang had been broken, and hurriedly looked for it.

Xu Xuan asked worriedly: "Now that Luoyang is in danger, do we want to take the opportunity to attack Nanyang, encircle Wei to save Zhao, and force Lu Yu to come back?" ”

He has been struggling with this matter, and it stands to reason that as a minister, he should do it without hesitation to solve the crisis in Luoyang.

But the question is, once Lu Yu comes back, how to deal with it?

When the time comes, Lu Yu's first target must be him Xu Xuan!

Hearing this, Sun Jian frowned and thought about it.

After a while, he shook his head and said, "Let's wait and see." ”

Watch and see what happens!

This is not only Sun Jian's idea, but also the idea of many families.

When the whole family clan saw that Lu Yu was so crazy and directly attacked Luoyang, they were shocked, but no one rushed to the rescue, but they all chose to wait and see what happened!

Everyone in the world wants to see if Lu Yu can capture Luoyang.

If you can really capture Luoyang, but you can't ...... Don't worry!

If the thieves enter Beijing, then they will have great righteousness and can enter the king of Beijing Qin!!

Under such a tacit understanding.

In the land of Nanyang, staying here, Wei Ergou and Ren Weiliang, who were responsible for presiding over the overall situation of Nanyang, waited anxiously for a long time, but they were still calm.

Obviously, the army is open, Nanyang is empty, this is a good opportunity to pacify Nanyang, but no one has attacked Nanyang at all.

Wei Ergou felt normal: "I'm afraid that I was frightened by the prestige of the eldest brother, and I didn't dare to do it at all!" ”

Ren Weiliang thought more: "Maybe those people also have their own plans." ”

After saying this, Ren Weiliang asked with some concern: "Brother Ergou, do you say that because I was a subordinate of the Great Sage and Good Master, Lu Shuai let me stay?" ”

What a good opportunity to go to Luoyang and make contributions, but he can only stay in Nanyang, it is inevitable that he is a little unwilling, and he naturally thinks more.

When Wei Ergou heard this, he snorted and said, "Do you think the eldest brother's strength is just that?" ”

"Naturally not!" Ren Weiliang hurriedly said.

"Isn't that it?" Wei Ergou said with a big grin: "Even if Luoyang is captured, there will be the whole world, and there will be many opportunities to make contributions at that time!" ”

"What's more, keeping Nanyang is also a credit!"

Hearing this, Ren Weiliang hurriedly said, "Thank you Brother Ergou for solving my doubts!" ”

……

In the eyes of the whole world.

Lu Yu has waved his army to approach Yique Pass.

The so-called "Yique" means the gate on the Yi River.

Yishui flows into the north, the two mountains are opposite each other here, looking like a gate from a distance, Yishui flows through the middle, flows to the north, so it is called Yique.

Iku had a major battle during the Warring States period.

The Qin State defeated the Han and Wei coalition forces here, beheading 240,000.

After the Battle of Yique, the door of Han and Wei was wide open, and there was no longer the strength to form an effective resistance to the Qin state.

And today.

A new conqueror has arrived in Eque.

Lu Yu!

Time has passed, and Lu Yu can't follow Bai Qi's sneak attack, so he can only attack head-on.

Yique Pass, built along the river, the Yihe River valley passage between Song Mountain and Bear's Ear Mountain, with natural danger, to keep the enemy out.

If it was before, with such a small number of people, and there was no big boat to cross the river, it would really be difficult to attack.

However, it is now the Xiaoice Age, the weather is unusually cold, and it is not uncommon to freeze three feet.

These days, it has already entered winter, as the temperature drops, Yishui begins to freeze, Lu Yu has waited for a few more days, and now it is enough to pass people!

On the side of the imperial court, the captain of the North Gate, Jian Shuo, naturally knew that there was a major problem with the freezing of Yishui.

This means that there is no more ferry to strangle at Yique Pass, and the enemy can be unimpeded!

He sent people to break up the ice and keep the river flowing, but many soldiers fell into the water because of this, and they died, and they still couldn't stop the water from freezing!

It's as if Heaven is helping those thieves!

This situation has lowered the morale of Yique Pass a lot.

When Lu Yu's army crossed the river on ice, Jian Shuo did not dare to come out to stop the attack, and only stayed in the city.

However, without the danger of the river, the morale is not high, and how can they resist the power of artillery and gunpowder packs.

But one day, Yique Pass was broken!

After all, Jian Shuo did not keep his promise to be locked up in the people and the dead in the prison, and fled in a hurry with the remnants of the defeated army.

And this time.

Lu Yu did not stop for a few days like he did in Guangchengguan.

That night, he slaughtered cattle and sheep, rewarded the whole army, and after eating and drinking, he rested for another night.

On the second day, he threw down his baggage, marched directly and hurriedly, all the way to Luoyang!

Yique Pass to Luoyi, now it is no longer barrier-free, but it is only more than 20 miles away, and it is killed under Luoyang City in the blink of an eye!

Under the city of Luoyang.

Lu Yu looked at the towering city wall in front of him, and he was in a good mood.

"This is the capital Luoyang?"

"It's magnificent, extraordinary!"

"But today, this empire is going to change masters!"
