"How can this Luoyang be easy to take" Even if you are lonely and unable to win Luoyang, you may not be able to give it to you!" A fire burned slowly in his heart, and on the surface, Guo Wentong, the king of Qin, was still silent.

As the ruler, no matter whether he likes or disagrees, he can't let his courtiers see it too thoroughly, Guo Wentong is a country that has worked hard step by step, and he understands this truth.

It's one thing to be angry in your heart, and there is only a layer of vague and uncertain expression on your face, so that you can't tell that you are thinking.

At this time, the chamberlain and Wang He did not dare to say a word, and stood with their hands down.

Although Guo Wentong made a decision, it was still difficult to suppress the anger in his heart, so he pressed down, and the thought did not stop, and he turned in one direction again.

If the Hu people in Liangzhou stopped their offensive, not only would they send out a large army, so they would not have to continue to confront the Hu people in Liangzhou, but they would also be able to take the opportunity to repair the city wall and pacify the people.

In fact, the Hu people did not have large-scale siege weapons, but only relied on surprise attacks, as well as driving people to attack cities, and of course, the most important thing was to attack the states and counties that were not unified.

Now just give him half a year...... Suddenly, Guo Wentong's eyes lit up.

Luoyang can never let Wang Hongyi take it, it really can't be done, he will stir up the water even more, he can't get Luoyang, and the Dacheng army and the Hu people will have no way to return.

During this time, Liangzhou could reorganize the army and strengthen control.

As long as it takes half a year, the cool flutter can be more than doubled, and at that time, there is still a glimmer of life.

Thinking like this, Guo Wentong suddenly couldn't sit still.

"The Hu people want to borrow my knife, I also want to get time, Liangzhou has to fight hard, I have a scumbag, even if Wang Hongyi captures Luoyang, he can't help me for a while. ”

"The best thing is, of course, to seize Luoyang, and the second is to muddy the waters, as long as the Hu people and Chengguo are at war, I will raise a large army and destroy the Hu people, which can also complete the foundation of the emperor. ”

"That's it, let's give it a go!" Putting the cup aside, Guo Wentong twisted his eyebrows slightly and walked out of the hall.

Seeing that the waiter followed him in a daze, he stopped slightly, casually recited the name of the mortal, and asked the waiter to pass them to see him.

The chamberlain hurriedly answered the promise, trotted out of the side hall, and went outside.

"And you, go back and tell the relevant yamen, let them send more manpower, to keep an eye on Liangzhou, and to give Liangzhou a will, you must clearly supervise the implementation, and strengthen the spy on the Hu people, you are a lonely faction in the past, and you have always been very relieved about your affairs, you are there, it is Lone's eyes, Lone's ears, don't let Lone disappoint. ”

"Please rest assured, after the minister returns, he will definitely do his best to complete this matter, and he will never live up to the king's trust!" Hearing King Qin's affirmative words, Wang He immediately knelt on the ground and kowtowed upwards and said.

Guo Wentong thought about his next move, but he didn't have too much time to pay attention to him, waved his hand, and ordered him to retreat.

"The king is a thousand years old, a thousand years old!" As soon as he came out of the side hall, the palace people outside suddenly fell to their knees, and Guo Wentong walked quickly between them and walked towards the study.

After waiting in the study for a while, the mortal celestial who the chamberlain had invited had already rushed over and rushed in.

The first three are veterans over fifty years old, but they are not wearing armor, but they are wearing military attache uniforms, and they walk easily.

He was followed by two Wenchen in their fifties, also wearing official uniforms.

can be called by Guo Wentong to discuss major matters, since he is his cronies and important ministers, as for Guo Wentong's most confidant minister, he has been entrusted with another important task, and there is no summons at this moment.

"The minister has seen the king!" As soon as he entered the study, the mortal minister immediately knelt on the ground and saluted.

Guo Wentong waved his hand: "Mortals don't have to be polite, get up and talk back." ”

"Thank you. ”

Guo Wentong gave them another seat, and after the chamberlain served them fragrant tea, only they were mortals left in the study again.

Guo Wentong did not hide it, and told the mortals about the information he had just obtained about Liangzhou.

Among these mortals, except for the two Wenchen, they are all veterans of war, and after listening to Guo Wentong's words, they did not lose their temper, but thought about it properly.

"The king's intentions, but you want to take this opportunity to move to Luoyang?" a person groaned, looking at the king of Qin who was seated.

Guo Wentong did not hide it, and said with a smile: "Lone Zheng has this intention, the news of Liangzhou is true, and Lone wants to move closer to Luoyang." ”

"Your Majesty, Luoyang is the place that everyone wants, and several soldiers and horses have moved, with our current strength, even if the king sends troops to go, I am afraid that he will not be able to take advantage. "Because it is the Fan Dynasty who serves the Guo family, a veteran said very frankly.

These Guo Wentong understood that with his current strength, he was not strong among the existing princes.

Even if he is much stronger than Zheng Guogong of Luoyang, even if Luoyang is an empty city at this time, with the situation that the two forces of the north and the south are competing at the same time, he still ends up with an inferior advantage, and it is difficult to get the best opportunity.

But don't fight, don't plan, sit still?

"If you don't fight, will they let Qin Di go?" said lightly, and Guo Wentong swept through everyone.

When all the old ministers heard this, they fell silent.

"The king's words are reasonable, but the minister thinks that instead of fighting for Luoyang, it is better to let the two sides fight and lose both, so that we can benefit. ”

"The king has an idea, the minister will not object, but this matter still needs to be carefully arranged, Luoyang is a place where soldiers and generals must fight, Zheng Guogong can occupy this place, and he must not be underestimated, and there is Hu Renhe and Fu Cheng Dynasty eyeing each other, this muddy water is not so easy. ”

Guo Wentong said: "Lone also thinks so, even if the mortal adults think the same way, then discuss with Lone, how to deal with Luoyang!"

"The minister obeys the order!" After a pause, the minister raised his head and his eyes were sharp: "Your Majesty, now that life and death are at stake, we must do our best to make use of military and financial resources. ”

Although Guo Wentong occupies a lot of poor land, the human and financial resources accumulated over the years should not be underestimated, and if the national treasury is dumped, a large number of weapons can be obtained in a short period of time.

May 16, Hongwu first year, Hanoi County

In front is an open plain, and a flat official road leads to the county seat along the Dingzhou Bridge.

At this moment, a thick cloud of smoke rose from the horizon, and with the sound of horses' hooves like thunder, a large black and oppressive cavalry rushed towards the county seat.

These cavalrymen wore Han leather armor, bows and arrows, and long knives.

Every cavalryman's face was full of fortitude and arrogance.

This is only a thousand cavalry in the vanguard, but it caused the march of Haotian, so that people can see from a distance that they know that this is a cavalry of the Hu people!

When they reached a village, one of the cavalry stopped, and the middle general, dressed in heavy armor, was Chinese New Year's Eve, and his expectations were full of murderous aura.

Surrounded by elite soldiers, sitting firmly on their horses, they scanned their surroundings.

"Do you want to clear the valley?"

"No need, Your Highness has an order, go straight to the county seat, and the village that occupies the jaw in the future must not resist, nor kill at will. The middle general said, picked up the kettle, took a sip of water, and ordered: "Go on." ”

Billowing smoke and dust passed, and all the villages and towns along the road did not resist unless they were temporarily camped and rested, and the villages and towns they passed through were not slaughtered.

After the Heavenly Army passed, some villagers breathed a sigh of relief and began to open the door, which made the people who had long heard about the cruelty of the Hu people a little surprised and surprised.

What happened, the famous Hu people let them go?

"Could it be that these Hu people have encountered a heavenly thing that burns their eyebrows?

"Phew, this is an ancestral blessing. ”

The people came out of the closed courtyard one after another, looking at the road where the cavalry could not be seen, and their hearts were full of doubts.

But it's more about the happiness of the rest of my life.

Some of the fortresses and county towns in Hanoi County have their own garrisons stationed and will not let people go easily, and it is still the Hu people who are approaching the city, and the defenders have closed the city gates at the first moment of receiving the news, and the drawbridge is hanging high.

When this cavalry approached the city, the defenders were ready to defend, and the atmosphere suddenly became depressed after a moment of confrontation.

Under the city, the Hu cavalry reined in their horses and looked at the border city with high walls in front of them.

After a while, the lord commanded, and immediately a Han official began to shout loudly, persuading the defenders to surrender.

The defender of the city was a hard bone, and when he saw this, he didn't say a word, and immediately ordered a strong crossbowman to shoot arrows at the city, and his intention was already clear.

In the past, the Hu people must have been furious, attacking the city and defending the city, but this Hu cavalry no longer persuaded to surrender, but after turning around the city, they turned around and galloped away in another way.

"What is the idea of this Hu people?" When the people in the city saw this, they immediately looked at each other.

When will the Hu people who are besieging the city take a look and leave?

However, if the Hu people did not come to attack their city, they were relieved, and did not dare to really take it lightly, and ordered people to watch the outside of the city cautiously.

At the same time, the men and horses of the husbands and horses ten miles away from the city stopped.

"Your Highness, the vanguard cavalry has sent someone back. "In this team resting in place, it is very easy to find the position of Khurbo, who is surrounded by elite soldiers.

At this time, Khurbo was eating the dry food he had brought with him, and although he was a prince, he was not too particular about it when he was marching, and when he saw a hundred households with a pair of armor on his upper body and head coming over, he immediately stood up and faced them.

"Which way to go?"

"Your Highness, the city in front of you is very thick and difficult to capture at once, and the vanguard army has made a detour through a small road. Baihu knelt down in front of him and said.

"Well, the siege of the city does not have to be in a hurry, our army is cavalry, no matter what the city, do not dare to go out of the city to fight with us, after the new annexed army of the Han people arrived, they were ordered to capture them one by one. ”

"The port of Whitehorse is very important, and it must be taken. Khurbo considered this and instructed the left and right: "Let them hurry up and rest, and in a moment they will march quickly to the port of White Horse." ”

This time, Hu Erbo personally led the army south, the purpose was to take the White Horse Port in Hanoi County first, and not give the sailors of the Dacheng Dynasty a chance to seal the Yellow River checkpoint here.

As long as the port of Hakuba is captured, there are conditions for going deeper.

"No!" everyone around them responded.

The order spread, and the 10,000 Hu soldiers who were resting here were busy eating, drinking, and resting, and after half an hour, the army rose up.
