At this time, Shi Fan and Ba Fenghan didn't know that Shuanglong had arrived in Luoyang, and they were squeezing into a noisy teahouse, and finally found an empty table in the corner, asked for pastries and snacks, and feasted on them. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Shi Fan asked casually, "Brother Ba seems to have a great appreciation for Luoyang?"

Ba Fenghan nodded and said: "Among the cities in Middle-earth, I have a special impression of Luoyang and Chang'an, because both cities have the spirit of kings, which are not comparable to ordinary cities. ”

Shi Fan asked, "What about Jiangdu?"

Ba Feng said coldly: "I haven't been to Jiangdu yet. However, in contrast, I am more fond of the cities and landscapes in the north, which are steep and majestic, and the beauty and brightness of the south, which are completely different tastes, and more suitable for my spleen and stomach. ”

Shi Fan nodded and said: "Brother Ba is like the big rivers and mountains in the north, which can withstand the test of wind and frost years, and is not afraid to face a difficult and harsh environment. ”

Ba Fenghan said solemnly: "I rarely appreciate a person, but Brother Shi is an exception. Usually you seem to be gentle and elegant, as if you don't care about everything, but when it comes to the critical moment of life and death, you can always show perseverance and perseverance, otherwise we won't be able to eat snacks here in Luoyang this morning. ”

......

Wang Shichong and Kou Zhong stood in the stand of the warship, staring in the direction of Luoyang.

Kou Zhong said: "Does Shang Shu know that Li Mi once wanted to win over Qian Duguan in Xiangyang, saying that he would supply manpower, grain and grass to his troops attacking Luoyang from the south?"

Wang Shichong laughed and said: "I don't know about this matter, but Xiangyang Qian Duguan is the leader of the Chengkou Alliance, which shows that the Dragon Sword Alliance is also a big force." ”

Kou Zhong waved his hand and said: "Shangshu has an overreputation, I can't bear it! That Li Mi has always been known for his wisdom, and he deliberately instigated the four great Kou to cooperate with the Jianghuai army to capture Jingling and coerce the northern cities, which is really a plan to kill two birds with one stone, which can not only make Du Fuwei have no time to take care of the south, but also make several cities south of Luoyang throw themselves at him because they are afraid of the Jianghuai army. Although the tomb has not been broken, and Qian Duguan has not fallen under Li Mi's command, if Shangshu does not break the Wagang army as soon as possible, he will be besieged sooner or later, and it will be too late to regret it. ”

Wang Shichong was surprised: "Why can Brother Kou be so clear about the situation between the north and the south?"

Kou Zhong smiled and said: "Of course, it is to deal with Li Mi, if today, Li Mi is the most powerful, if we can't work together to contain it, I'm afraid there will be nothing for us in this world." "Kou Zhong is telling the truth, now Li Mi is indeed the closest person to the unification of the world, and the Wagang forces must not be underestimated! If he really wins Luoyang, I am afraid that not only he Kou Zhong, but also Dou Jiande in Hebei and Li Yuan in Guanzhong will not be able to sing. Therefore, it is inevitable to join forces with Wang Shichong at this time.

Wang Shichong was silent for a while, and then suddenly said: "If I can't win Li Mi in this battle, should I join Li Yuan in the West?" Kou Zhong wanted to answer, "This battle will be won", but his mind changed and he asked: "Li Yuan or Li Mi, who does Shang Shu think is more terrifying?"

Wang Shichong smiled bitterly: "I never took Li Yuan in my eyes, and even when he raised troops in Taiyuan, crossed the Dragon Gate into the pass, and successively defeated Song Laosheng and Qu Tutong, I thought it was just a temporary trend." However, when Li Yuan's second son, Shimin, defeated Xue Ju, Xue Renguo's father and son's Western Qin army in Fufeng, and pursued it to Longcheng with victory, he had to change his opinion. Because Guanzhong no longer has to worry about the west, it can go all out to the east and pass through the Central Plains, posing the biggest threat to Luoyang except for Li Mi. ”

Kou Zhong said: "Shangshu is already very clear about the situation of Li Valve, and he should also know that Li Shimin is a person with great ambitions to pacify the Central Plains. Therefore, unless Shang Shuken bows his head and is a vassal, if Li Shimin is allowed to gain a few more footholds in Guanzhong, Luoyang will fall into his hands sooner or later. ”

Wang Shichong sighed: "Luoyang is the hub of the world's transportation, but it is also trapped in an environment where enemies are on all sides. This is the place of four battles, even if Li Mi is removed, he still has to deal with attacks from all directions, and he can attack and retreat like Li Valve. ”

Kou Zhong said: "So after going to Li Mi's threat, Shangshu must use troops to pass the pass, and even if it is not good, he will not be able to step out of Tongguan even half a step, and Shangshu can take advantage of Li Mi's Yu Wei to take advantage of the canal to gradually encroach on nearby towns and increase his strength, and there is no other way." ”

Wang Shichong smiled bitterly: "I'm a little tired! Kou Zhong sighed secretly in his heart, Wang Shichong has never been the material for fighting for the world, not as good as Du Fuwei, nor as good as Xiao Milling, of course, it is more difficult to compete with male talents such as Li Shimin and Li Mi. But it is precisely because of this that Kou Zhong dares to join forces with Wang Shichong with confidence, because only Wang Shichong is the least threatening to his family!

......

Jinqiao northeast Douting West, here is poetic;

Meiyue was born in the late goddess Pu, and her face was in the spring and her face was in the middle of the year;

The willow silk curls out in the wind, and the grass wisps are fluffy and the rain is cut evenly;

The report was preceded by less shouting, and the frightened yellow bird did not cry.

When Shi Fan and Ba Feng walked on the Tianjin Bridge across Luoshui, Ba Feng said coldly: "Tianjin Xiaoyue is the first of the eight views of Luoyang, the most charming is the quiet night and people, when the bright moon hangs in the sky, the beauty comes here to swim with his arms, the situation is difficult to describe." ”

Shi Fan couldn't help laughing when he heard this: "I never thought that you would think about such a thing as a beauty captive! Not to mention anything else, as long as you show your face, there will definitely be countless girls in Luoyang who have their spring hearts sprouting, and it is just a trivial matter to visit Tianjin Bridge together!"

Bai Fenghan also laughed, of course he wouldn't do this, just laughed casually.

......

Wang Shichong changed into a military uniform and stood on the bow of the boat. Kou Zhong and the generals separated behind him. Luoyang's outer Guocheng is already in sight, and the weather is solemn. Four ships of the Sailor Division joined the escort, making the flotilla even more spectacular. Wang Shichong was in good spirits, and seemed to be in a good mood, so he summoned Kou Zhong to his side and said proudly: "The Luoshui below us divides the capital into two parts, north and south. The Imperial Palace and the Imperial City are located in the northwest of the city, and the streets, squares and markets are located in the south and east of the city. ”

Kou Zhong said, "Can the fleet sail directly into the city?"

Wang Shichong said triumphantly: "Not only can you drive into the city, but you can also reach any place, if you talk about the convenience of internal and external water and land transportation, there is no city in the world that can reach the eastern capital." In addition to Luoshui running through it, there are also Dongqian River, Xigu Water, Beijin Canal, Nantong Jin Canal, Tongji Canal, Yishui, Cao Canal, Dao Canal, Chongjin Canal, Danshui Canal and the streets and alleys criss-cross, and it is convenient for vehicles and ships to connect with each other. "The sluice has long been raised, and the fleet has driven into the city along the Luoshui Length.

Suddenly, the bustling scene in the city changed in front of him, and Kou Zhong even stopped breathing, and his eyes widened.

Wang Shichong laughed and said loudly: "Brother Kou, please look, there is the famous Tianjin Bridge in front of you, and the beautiful scenery is the best in Luoyang!"

Kou Zhong looked at Wang Shichong's words, and suddenly the tiger's body was shocked, but he saw Shi Fan and Ba Fenghan standing proudly on the bridge, although Ba Fenghan was wearing a mask, but Kou Zhong still guessed that it was Lao Ba by his figure.

At this time, Shi Fan and Ba Fenghan on the bridge also saw everyone on the boat, among which Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling had outstanding temperaments, as if they stood out from the crowd, Shi Fan smiled: "I know that these two living treasures will not stay in Jingling honestly, sure enough!"
