Chapter 4: The Fall of Luoyang (I)
"Yue Fei and Luo Tianchu have both done it!" Lei Zhen said as he walked into the hall excitedly, and after saluting the hall masters, he said: "Yue Fei and Luo Tianchu sent troops at the same time the day before yesterday, the former captured Yuncheng without much effort, and the latter's general Zhao Hengshan broke 3,000 Qi soldiers with 500 infantry under Hangu Pass, and also beheaded Ban Su's son.

Xiao Hu said: "I have a relationship with Ban Heming, this person's marksmanship is the true inheritance of his father, I don't know how many tricks Zhao Hengshan killed him?" Lei Zhen said: "Just one move, Ban Heming didn't even parry." Xiao Hu changed color and said: "Zhao Hengshan is so powerful!" Lei Zhen glanced at Zhu Yu and said: "He is not the most powerful one, Luo Tianchu is even above him, and Lu Fei and Brother Zhu are also half a pound and eight taels with him." Zhu Yushi said: "Don't count me, I'm just a small role in the Blood Knife Castle." Lei Zhen smiled: "Brother Zhu is humble, Guibao is full of talents, and I am more confident in my cooperation with you." Zhu Yushi said: "What are the plans of the helper now?" Lei Zhen said with a smile: "Now the two fronts of Qi are exchanging fire, the country is in chaos, Liu Yu is asking for help from the Jin State, and on the other hand, he is dividing troops to support the front line, and the 30,000 troops stationed in Luoyang have opened the Hangu Pass, and the city of Luoyang is empty, which is an excellent opportunity for us to take advantage of the void, but we have to wait." Zhu Yushi said: "What are you waiting for?" Lei Zhen smiled: "Wait for the Qi State to beg me, so that it is justifiable to send troops, I have sent a letter to Lin Lingsu, and he will come with a letter from the King of Qi for help in two days, and then it will be the time for us to send troops." β
Two days later, Lin Lingsu came to the Mabang with a distress letter written by Liu Lin, Lei Zhen read the letter and said: "On the letter, Liu Lin asked us to go directly to Hangu Pass to support, saying that the Qi army had lost three battles and was demoralized, so let us go to meet the Blood Sword Fort." Hei Wu sneered: "A letter wants us to work for him, how can there be such a cheap thing, when we pass through Luoyang, we just won it in one fell swoop." Lei Zhen said: "How many defenders are there in Luoyang City?" Lin Lingsu said: "There are only more than 2,000 people, and three hundred of them are Liu Lin's personal soldiers. Lei Zhen said: "Two thousand people have not even stood on the city wall for less than a week, and Luoyang is already in our pocket." β
Zhu Yushi said: "How is the insider?" Lin Lingsu sneered: "Are you questioning me?" Zhu Yushi said reluctantly: "Don't dare, I don't know what the situation of the insider, please let the Taoist know." Lin Lingsu said: "This is about the same, your lady is very tight, set three thousand favors in one, Liu Lin originally flattered her, renovated two palaces and a garden for her, and spent Luoyang's tax money last year, and the military salary was in arrears for two months, so it is strange to win the battle." Lei Zhen smiled: "Mrs. Zhu also helped us, but Liu Lin was dizzy, and she didn't love the country and the beauty." Zhu Yushi said in a deep voice: "When will we send troops." Lei Zhen said: "I know that you are anxious, I will let the soldiers prepare, tomorrow morning to send troops, we pass by Luoyang do not enter the city, pretend to pass by, the fifth brother with a dozen brothers pretending to be people into the city, to open the city gate at night, we can easily capture Luoyang." Zhu Yushi said: "I'll go with the fifth brother." Lei Zhen smiled: "I need you more here, with Xiao Hu, Gu Chao and the fifth brother are enough." Zhu Yushi knew that he wanted to continue to use Zhu Zhirui to blackmail him, and he was secretly angry in his heart. Hei Wu said: "Brother Zhu, don't worry, if I have the opportunity to rescue my younger siblings, I will definitely hand them over to you completely." Zhu Yushi knew what he meant secretly, so he nodded and said, "Everything is arranged by the helper." Lei Zhen patted him on the shoulder and smiled: "This is a good brother, everyone go down to rest first, and set off tomorrow." β
When Zhu Yushi returned to the small courtyard, he saw that the lights were on in the house, and his heart moved, giving birth to an inexplicable warm feeling, just like Zhu Zhirui had made dinner and was waiting for him to come back to eat together, the long-lost intimacy made him look forward to a miracle, and he really hoped that after pushing the door open, he would find that the person in the house was really Zhu Zhirui. However, although the people in the house also prepared dinner, it was not Zhu Zhirui, but Lin Huihui.
Through this year's contact, Zhu Yushi's attitude towards her has become much more polite, looking at the four dishes and one soup on the table, and said, "I didn't expect you to be able to cook." Lin Huihui smiled: "You don't know that there are many more, it's still hot, sit down and eat." Zhu Yushi also felt hungry, said "thank you", sat down and said while eating: "Why don't you eat." Lin Huihui said: "I'm not hungry. Zhu Yushi said: "Then what are you doing with so many dishes." Lin Huihui said: "I know that you are leaving tomorrow, so I will make a delicious meal for you to see off, and you are about to see Sister Zhu, I can no longer come to you, so I want you to taste my craft one last time." Zhu Yushi heard that there was a sour meaning in her words, and said: "We are still friends, the food you cook is really delicious, especially this bowl of crispy meat, it is absolutely amazing." β
Lin Huihui said: "This is what my mother taught me, my father likes to eat the most, but I don't cook it for him, he owes my mother too much." Zhu Yushi said: "I haven't asked Lingtang how well?" Lin Huihui said: "My mother has passed away, she was a simple peasant girl, after being my father, she felt faceless, so she could only follow my father, hoping that my father could marry her, but my father has not given her a name, still stained with flowers and grass, and the thief nature has not changed, my mother has been persuading for many years to no avail, and died of depression, when I was only eight years old. Zhu Yushi hated: "It is not an exaggeration to kill Lin Lingsu a thousand times for his evil deeds." Lin Huihui sighed: "At that time, the Great Song Dynasty had not yet been invaded by the Jin State, and my father was deeply favored by the official family of Huizong in Bianliang, and the official family of Huizong was obsessed with Taoism, and my father was fooled into thinking that he was a Da Luo Jin Immortal. β
Zhu Yushi said: "I can't help but say that your father does have some means, and even the official family has been played by him." Lin Huihui said: "My father did a lack of virtue after gaining power, in order to combat Buddhism, he changed Buddhism to Taoism, changed clothes, called surnames, monks to keep hair crowns, isn't this nonsense, but the official family of Huizong actually played, but my father intensified his efforts, changed the female crown to the female Tao, and the nun was a female virtue, and many beautiful disciples were secretly secreted by him*** At that time, I was still young, and I was also a monk in the Taoist temple, and I knew everything about his bestiality. Zhu Yushi frowned and said: "He is so domineering in the capital, no one can cure him?" Lin Huihui said: "There are really few people who can cure him, but he should be unlucky, once he met the prince's Luan driver on the street, and dared to argue with him, the two parties argued, and the official family of Huizong was furious when he found out, and drove my father out of the capital." Since then, he took me to wander the rivers and lakes, after Jingkang, he turned into a national teacher of Qi again, and I was also named a county lord with only a name, a few years later my father sent me to Lin Zhongxiu to find out if he had created a new martial arts, I couldn't help myself, I could only obey my fate, this is how everything happened. Zhu Yushi said: "The girl can say these words to show that she knows right and wrong, I promise to take you away, and in the future, you can find a good family to cook for your beloved every day." β
Lin Huihui smiled meaningfully and said, "Actually, Lin Lingsu had already come to me before he went to see Lei Zhen. Zhu Yushi said: "He still has the face to see you? Isn't he all severed the father-daughter relationship?" Lin Huihui said: "His skin is thicker than the city wall, he shush me and ask for warmth, and comfort me, I really found out in his conscience, and there was a little bit of touch, who knew that in the end he knew that he had another purpose, and asked me to ask you about the secret of the 'Moving Jade Divine Skill', and my little bit of emotion also came to naught, and immediately kicked him out." Zhu Yushi was silent for a while and said: "Thank you girl for telling me bluntly, now the girl is my friend, the martial arts cheats are just things outside the body, compared to the fart of friends, if the girl wants, I will give you the back." Lin Huihui smiled: "It's enough to have your words, and I can help the abuse again, it's night, sleep." β
Lin Huihui left quietly before dawn the next day, and Zhu Yushi was also awake, but he didn't call her, and he didn't like to say goodbye either. Zhu Yushi then went out and came to the bottom of the mountain to gather. The leaders and the 40,000 troops gathered one after another, and left Laojun Mountain under the leadership of Lei Zhen.
In the evening, the army came to the outskirts of Luoyang, twenty miles away, and there were several Luoyang officials waiting in the open space in front of them, and there were rice steamed buns, cooked meat and white wine on two hundred long tables. Choosing this **** shows that Qi Guo is not wary of the horse gang. Lin Lingsu and those officials were all familiar with each other, and after a round of introduction, there was a false greeting, and then the army continued to hurry after a big meal on the spot, and after nightfall, they were stationed next to the avenue five miles away from Luoyang as planned.
Just after the ugly hour, Lei Zhen led the army back to Luoyang, and the soldiers of the Mabang were full of wine and food, and they had just slept and were full of physical strength. Tonight, the sky is beautiful, there are no stars and no moon, dark clouds are thick, and the five fingers are not visible, the army is quietly approaching Luoyang, hidden on both sides of the road, led by Lei Zhen Thirty martial arts masters are crawling close to the east gate of Luoyang, ready to meet the black five and others who open the city gate. Zhu Yushi was also among them, looking up and seeing the sparse lights on the towering city wall, this scene seemed familiar, and he couldn't help but think of the past when he and his brothers attacked Chang'an a few years ago.
After another moment, I suddenly heard the sound of noisy and angry shouts from inside the city gate, followed by the chaotic exchange of weapons, and after a while, the heavy city gate opened a gap, and Lei Zhen shouted: "Kill into the city!" After that, he rushed in first, and after pulling open the city gate with force, he began to kill the soldiers defending the city. When Zhu Yu, Lin Lingsu, Feng Yiyuan, Zhuo Xinghai, and Zhuo Chong arrived, and the troops in the rear raised torches one after another, surging over like a sea of fire.
There were only fifty Qi soldiers defending the city, and they were killed in a short time, and there were only a thousand soldiers on the city wall, and they were already frightened when they saw dozens of times the army coming, and they didn't even have the courage to resist and threw down their weapons from the city wall to surrender, Lei Zhen looked around and said: "Why don't you see the fifth brother?" Gu Chao, who was covered in blood, spat a mouthful of blood foam fiercely, and said: "He was still there just now, and he disappeared as soon as he fought, I think it's just a false name, but his courage is smaller than a rabbit." Lei Zhen shook his head, obviously unwilling to believe it, Xiao Hu also said: "What the master of the Gu Hall said is right, as soon as the fifth brother of the black hall entered the city, he separated from us and walked towards the city alone, and he didn't let us follow, I don't know what he wants to do." Lei Zhen said: "In the future, you will come out of the water, you will take the soldiers to take over the city wall, the palace, the armory and the granary, and I will go to the imperial city with Brother Zhu and Lin Daochang to greet the prince of Qi." β
At the moment, they divided their troops, Lei Zhen, Zhu Yushi and Lin Lingsu surrounded the imperial city with 10,000 soldiers, and there were only more than 1,000 Qi soldiers left in the imperial city, this was the last strength of Qi in Luoyang, Liu Lin's ugly face could be seen under the firelight, and behind him stood the Slaughter King, Kong Yanzhou and Cao Cheng. Liu Lin pointed at Lin Lingsu under the city and said angrily: "Why does the national teacher want to help the thieves rebel. Lin Lingsu said on the horse: "Your Highness misunderstood, Poor Dao heard that Luoyang's defense was weak, so he specially invited the Lei Gang Master to come to defend the city, and it was a rebellion." Liu Lin said: "Luoyang has nothing to do, you should retreat as soon as possible, and Hangu Pass is the place to support." Lei Zhenwan said: "The butcher king beside His Highness is actually a spy of the Song Dynasty, as long as this thief dies, we will go to Hangu Pass immediately." Liu Lin was puzzled: "You... What are you talking about?" the Slaughter King laughed loudly and said, "Your Highness Hugh listens to their nonsense, they are jealous of the old man, if the old man dies, they will kill the city without any scruples." Zhu Yushi, who was wearing a Fu Chou mask, shouted: "Slaughter King, do you dare to go out of the city and fight alone with me?" )
