Chapter 168: Soldiers Descend on the City
After Liu Xiu became emperor, he continued to attack Luoyang, an important town in the Central Plains, and prepared to set Kyoto in Luoyang, directly threatening the Xuanhan Dynasty trapped in Chang'an in the west.
Luoyang is in the middle of the world, is an important military town to control the east, and is also an important gateway to defend the imperial city of Chang'an. Liu Xiu's strategy of "driving the wolf and driving the tiger" is to let Deng Yushuai's army drive the red eyebrows to attack Chang'an City, and at the same time wait for the opportunity to advance from the direction of Luoyang.
Seeing that the time was ripe, Liu Xiu immediately ordered Fu Qingyun and Feng Yi to cross the Yellow River and advance in the direction of Luoyang, so as to contain the strength of the first army from the flank, so that the Red Mei army could smash the Yellow Dragon and implement the strategy of "driving the wolf and driving the tiger".
Liu Xuan, the first emperor who was far away in Chang'an, saw that the building was about to collapse, and he was even more desperate to seize the last remaining light to entertain in the harem, and he was drunk all day long, and handed over all the affairs of the court to Lin Zhengjun to take care of.
Lin Zhengjun saw that the Red Mei bandit army was violently killing towards Chang'an, and he wanted to personally lead his troops to meet the enemy, but from the direction of Luoyang, there was a rush of 100,000 troops from Liu Xiu's army crossing the Yellow River.
Although the First Dynasty declined, it was not something that the Red Eyebrow bandit army could take in three or two days, but once Liu Xiu captured Luoyang and the eastern gate of Chang'an City was opened, it would be even more critical. Lin Zhengjun weighed the pros and cons and decided to go to Luoyang to supervise the battle.
In the mansion of the national teacher in Chang'an City, Song Wantong was standing alone in front of a peach tree in the courtyard, looking at the peach blossoms in a daze.
"Madam, what are you thinking?" Lin Zhengjun stepped in.
Song Wantong saw Lin Zhengjun come in and lamented: "Zhengjun, when we got married, Senior Sister Xue Yi said that Qingyun and they went to find Senior Brother, but I don't know if they found it?"
Lin Zhengjun said: "I should have found it." Junxin said that Fu Qingyun's little pig smelled Brother Wenjing's breath, and it would definitely be found. ”
"But it's been half a year, why hasn't anyone come to report to us?" Song Wantong said.
Lin Zhengjun sighed and said, "Maybe Chu Ji Villa won't move around with us anymore." ”
Song Wantong said gloomily: "Why, is it too far?"
Lin Zhengjun shook his head and said: "Madam, you know, when we were in Chu Halberd Villa, we Feihe Hall and Chu Wutang did not deal with each other, and later my Master Mingshan betrayed Chu Halberd Villa again, and Luo Zihong also killed the old owner. I was born in Feihetang, and now I am the head of Taihemen, Wenjing and they should regard me as an enemy. ”
"Probably not. Didn't Senior Brother Junxin and Senior Sister Xue Yi bring the villagers over to congratulate us when we got married?" Song Wantong said in surprise.
"This time and that time. Lin Zhengjun said.
Song Wangtong's eyes were slightly red, and he said gloomily: "Isn't Brother Qingyun also going to deal with us?"
"Don't mention him!" Lin Zhengjun suddenly raised his voice and said: "A martial arts scum who was bewitched by the demon girl of the Demon Sect is now mixed with Liu Xiu's rebellion, and he actually led troops to attack my Genshi Dynasty. ”
Song Wantong said with tears in her eyes: "Zhengjun, don't talk about Qingyun and Brother Liu Xiu like that, they are your brothers." ”
"Heaven and earth, this is a great righteousness, how can it give way to brotherly feelings. Lin Zhengjun said with words.
Song Wantong said sadly: "I don't know what righteousness is, but I don't want to see your brothers turn against each other." ”
Lin Zhengjun saw Song Wantong's sad appearance, his heart softened, and he hugged Song Wantong's waist and said softly: "Madam, you are pregnant now, you should worry less about these things." Don't worry, no matter what they do to me, I'll be open to them. ”
Song Wantong nodded and smiled sadly.
Lin Zhengjun sighed: "Now the rebels are surging everywhere, but the first emperor has been entertaining in the harem all day long, ignoring the government. And Wang Feng, Chen Mu, and Zhang Wei, these old ministers, are doing their own things and don't listen to the orders of the court, which is really worrying. ”
Song Wantong stretched out her hand to straighten Lin Zhengjun's collar, and said softly: "Zhengjun, I know it's not easy for you, if you feel tired, let's go back to Taihemen." Or, go back to Chu Ji Villa and live a life without contention. ”
"How is it possible?" Lin Zhengjun laughed: "I finally got to the present step by step, how can I give up easily." I want you, and our children, to be the person that everyone in the world admires. ”
Song Wantong shook her head gloomily and said, "Zhengjun, I don't need this, and our children don't need this." I just need you, Brother Qingyun, Senior Brother Wenjing, and Brother Liu Xiu. ”
Lin Zhengjun's face sank, and he said unhappily: "Madam, don't mention them in front of me in the future." ”
Song Wantong was stunned, lowered her head and turned into the house sadly.
Lin Zhengjun knew that his words were serious, so he also turned around and followed, and said softly: "Madam, rebels and bandits have been rampant recently, and I will rush to Luoyang tomorrow." But Chen Mu and Zhang Wei are enemies of me, and I am worried that they will embarrass you after leaving, so you can go to Luoyang with me. ”
......
Fu Qingyun left the little beast Kang Kang by Yang Junru's side as a companion, and led the troops across the Yellow River with Feng Yi, attacking the city all the way, and the troops were directed at Luoyang.
The army arrived close to Luoyang City, the gate of Luoyang City was closed, the battle exemption card was hung high, and the officers and soldiers on the city tower were waiting for the battle.
Fu Qingyun and Feng Yi set up their main tent on the hill opposite the Luoyang City Tower, and put on a posture of attacking Luoyang City.
But Luoyang has always been heavily guarded, if you want to attack strongly, there must be many casualties, and a strong attack is not Fu Qingyun and Feng Yi's original intention. They just put on a posture to contain the Luoyang troops, and implemented the strategy of "driving the wolf and driving the tiger" to let the Red Mei Army attack Chang'an City.
For several days, the army was only surrounded but not fought, and the officers and soldiers of Luoyang were also closed and stuck to the city.
After a few days of confrontation between the two sides, the gate of Luoyang City suddenly opened widely, the war drums thundered, and a red-robed general led a group of men and horses to kill.
The red-robed general held a sword in his hand, straddled a black horse, and rushed straight into the forward camp of the army.
Fu Qingyun and Feng Yi hurriedly swept out of the main tent and looked from afar, only to see that the red-robed general was full of blood and energy, like a born blood demon, rampaging in the forward battalion, and there was almost no one in charge.
Feng Yi hurriedly issued an order, asking the flag soldiers to wave the flag to adjust the formation and stabilize the Chinese army, while Fu Qingyun had already rushed down the mountain and rushed towards the red-robed general.
The red-robed general saw Fu Qingyun rushing towards him, and he also rushed towards Fu Qingyun with a bloody path, and where he passed, his head was spinning.
Before the two met, the terrifying coercion of the Dao Dao had spread, overwhelming the mountains and seas, forcing the surrounding soldiers to keep retreating, leaving a huge circle in the middle.
The red-robed general jumped off his horse, and the blood gushed towards him, and the blood light around him was faint.
"Fu Qingyun, your dog life is really long!" The red-robed general looked at Fu Qingyun lightly, it was Lin Zhengjun who rushed to Luoyang to oversee the army.
"Lin Zhengjun, you have finally come out of nowhere and raised your eyebrows. It's a pity that Uncle Lin has been loyal all his life, but he gave birth to you, an ungrateful and wolf-hearted animal. Fu Qingyun shouted angrily.
"Shut up!" Lin Zhengjun was furious, the blood on his body skyrocketed, and he swung a sword to stab Fu Qingyun directly, like lightning.
Fu Qingyun strode up and attacked directly with his fist.
A ray of blood wrapped in a long sword, piercing the sky, and a fist of purple lightning flashed, unstoppable.
"Boom, boom!" The fists and swords met, and the whole world seemed to tremble violently at the moment of impact, and the blood and purple mangs collided one after another in the air, and the air shook rapidly, making people's hearts sway, and no one could describe its horror.
The two of them were really angry, and they attacked each other like a storm. Both sides stopped attacking, watching the earth-shattering battle between the two in horror, their eyes glowing with extreme fear.
"Boom, boom!" was another series of hard bumps, and the two fell back at the same time.
The blood qi and purple mangs dissipated, and the two of them puffed on the corners of their mouths, and their eyes confronted each other angrily.
Lin Zhengjun wiped the blood from his mouth, and sneered: "One day, I will trample you under my feet!"
"One day, I will cut off your head and pay tribute to Brother Liu Xuan and Senior Brother Wenjing. Fu Qingyun said.
"You can't wait for that day, we'll see!" Lin Zhengjun laughed, jumped on his horse, and withdrew to Luoyang City with his men and horses.
