The first month will come, Luoyang.

Da Sima Zhu Tuan's face was livid.

Or it should be said that it was the former chief minister of the Liu Xuan regime, after all Liu Xuan was dead.

Wuyin King Li Yi's complexion is not very good-looking either.

They were sent to garrison Luoyang before to prevent Liuxiu from Hebei from attacking.It's just that Liu Xiu's house was stolen before he left Hebei.

Liu Xuan is dead, they don't need to continue to work for him.

Zhu Yu and Li Yi are not very loyal and courageous people. Now that Liu Xuan is dead, they can naturally become kings and handle things by themselves.It's just that this year has just turned a new leaf, and a new crisis has come to the door.

Hebei Liuxiu's soldiers and horses have already driven straight in, and they are now facing them across the river at Mengjindu.

This is undoubtedly bad news for them, not only because Liu Xiu chose Luoyang, but also because they did not receive any news before Liu Xiu approached Meng Jindu.

"It seems that Liu Xuan's death has caused many people to have other thoughts." Zhu Yu said coldly.

Zhu Yu was originally one of the leaders of the Green Forest Army, that is, he and other leaders supported Liu Xuan's ascension to the throne.Li Yi's complexion was even uglier than his, because he followed Liu Yan in the first incident, all the way from Chongling to the present.

It's just that in the political struggle in Chang'an, he chose Liu Xuan.

It's just that he didn't expect that idiot Liu Xuan would die so quickly.

And Liu Yan's younger brother Liu Xiu suddenly rose up in the army, just like his name, a rising star.

"It seems that he is here for Luoyang." Li Yi shook his head, his fingers twitching.

Zhu Yu snorted and laughed: "His elder brother is currently in Chang'an, and the fight is in full swing. He will not go to Chang'an, but join his elder brother. Instead, he chooses to attack Luoyang first... The relationship between the two brothers is probably just mediocre."

Li Yi said suspiciously: "When we were in Chongling, the brothers of the Liu family always had a good relationship. His family suffered from disasters in the early years. After escaping, the brotherhood of each other is no different than ordinary people, and they are very close."

Zhu Yu shook his head, and said indifferently: "You also said that they used to be fighting for the position of emperor now. Is there any one of them who is willing to give it up?"

Li Yi sighed and shook his head, his thick eyebrows were furrowed like a small hill.

"Forget it, there is no need to talk about other things. Soldiers come to block you, and water comes to cover you. Could it be that you are afraid of them?"

...

It is not difficult to win Meng Jindu.

The morale of the army is the magic needle to stabilize all the troops. Chang'an was broken, Liu Xuan was beheaded, Zhu Yu and Li Yi passively responded to the battle, and they could not shrink back when they were attacked everywhere. This was undoubtedly a huge blow to them.When people's hearts are not in harmony, no matter how many soldiers and horses there are, it is easy to be defeated.

Cai Xuning spat out bloody foam, feeling like he accidentally ate a mouthful of sand just now.

And winning Mengjindu is equivalent to winning Heyang.

This place is across the river from Luoyang. The difficulty is not crossing the river, but how to take down the cities of Luoyang after crossing the river.Although the Luoyang defenders are now behind closed doors, the towns and cities in Luoyang can respond to each other.

After the first surprise attack force took Mengjindu, the large force followed.

"The cavalry is so easy to use." Cai Xuning said with emotion, and patted Geng Yan's shoulder, "Do you feel more comfortable?"

Geng Yan said with a smile: "Don't talk about it, when Wang Liang and the others had a good time in Qinghe County, Wei County, I was going to be suffocated to death." He saw Feng Yi coming out of the tent.

"In two days, the army led by His Majesty will arrive."

Feng Yi had been an official in Henan County, so he was much more familiar with the terrain here than they were.As early as the New Year's Eve, he had been named a general by Liu Xiu, and led his people to station in Wei County and Hanoi County, repeatedly testing the Luoyang defenders.

At that time, the news of Liu Xuan's murder had just come out, and Zhu Yu, Li Yi and others locked up Luoyang and did not come out.

This gave Feng Yi the opportunity to confirm the surrounding situation, lobby the various ministries and cities, and make two-handed preparations.When Liu Xiu was ordered to die, Feng Yi exerted his strength, and many surrendered.They fought like a broken bamboo all the way to Mengjindu.

When Cai Xuning and Geng Yan led the cavalry to help, it felt like it was just icing on the cake.

Feng Yi is quite intelligent.

He came out of the camp with the map between his hands, and he came to talk to Cai Xuning and the others.

The map has been marked, and several important towns have been circled around Luoyang.Feng Yi said in a deep voice: "Luoyang has a total of at least 30 troops, divided into various important towns, but the core must be Luoyang City. If Luoyang is attacked first, the other city guards will be able to take advantage of the opportunity to sneak attack. It is not worth the loss. It is better to break it separately , advance step by step."

Cai Xuning raised his eyebrows: "Cut off their communication channels first, and then cut off their food roads. Since Zhu Yu chooses to stick to Luoyang, we must trap them alive in Luoyang!"

Feng Yi nodded.

Geng Yan clapped his palms and said with a smile: "Why wait? First hurry up and send the idea to His Majesty. When the army gathers, we can attack directly."

Cai Xuning said: "It's better to send out a group of people to attack Luoyang first. It doesn't need to be aggressive, just distract them."

Feng Yi smiled and said, "Wonderful."

On the 23rd of the first lunar month, the army arrived at Mengjindu.

After three days, cross the river.

The Luoyang defenders were quite nervous, and spies kept going back and forth for several days.Unexpectedly, the army only made a false move near Luoyang, and then it was divided into several groups, one group turned to rush to the counties of Xiangyang, and one group headed towards Xuchang, Zhengzhou.

Zhu Tuan was puzzled by their actions at first, but it was not until the news that Xiangyang had been captured half a month later that he slapped his thigh fiercely and screamed repeatedly.

"It's really a good plan. They saw through our intention to stay behind closed doors, and took this opportunity to wipe out the towns near Luoyang first!" Zhu Yu said through gritted teeth, "If they are allowed to continue, Luoyang will really become a city from now on. The lonely city can only be slaughtered by them!"

The strategy of not sending troops back then was decided by Li Yi, and now his face is also full of coldness.

"Since Liu Xiu has such a plan, he can't let them get what they want." Li Yi said sharply, "The remaining few places must not be lost."

Zhu Yu shook his head and paced back and forth with his hands behind his back: "It's too late, even if you lead troops to chase now, the city will either be destroyed or ruined. The purpose of this method is not to attack the city, but to wear down our strength and cannot be replenished." .If we could communicate with other towns and communicate with each other, in this way, they have cut off all the passages."

This is not something that can be changed by saving or not!

If they could detect it in advance, they would not be in such a situation.

Li Yi looked at him with a frown. After several days of cleansing, some stubble appeared. He said in a cold voice, "Should we just let them continue?"

Zhu Yu said: "Of course it can't, but if you lead troops out of the city, can you guarantee that Liu Xiu's remaining troops will not take advantage of this opportunity to attack?"

The Luoyang garrison was indeed numerous, with a total of 30 people, but Liu Xiu's soldiers did not give way, especially the cavalry in You and Ji under his seat, which were invincible weapons.

It can often penetrate deeply into the abdomen of the enemy army, biting them so hard that they cannot break free.

Li Yi looked at him: "Then what are you going to do?"

Zhu Tuan raised his eyebrows and said thoughtfully: "Then do the opposite."

...

"They will abandon the city and flee."

Feng Yi frowned fiercely.

In the big tent, Liu Xiu sat at the head, and most of the eleven generals he brought with him were absent, and they basically led troops to attack various cities and counties, leaving only a few people such as Feng Yi and Cai Xuning.

"Now they don't have a backbone, without the previous order to stay in Luoyang, it's really not a good idea to stay in Luoyang." Cai Xuning frowned.

It is a good thing to get a Luoyang for nothing, but these soldiers and horses are always a hidden danger. No matter which existing forces, no one wants to swallow this help for nothing.

As long as they get away seriously, Zhu Tuan and Li Yi can fly as high as the sky.

"It's not that simple for them to want to leave." Liu Xiu said indifferently, "Right now there are people from us in Hulao, Longmen, Mengjindu, Heyin, Cijian and other places, no matter where they plan to go If you retreat, you will always be blocked first."

Feng Yi frowned: "But once they abandon Luoyang, they will give up their important positions."

Xu Changping said in a low voice: "Luoyang is indeed a battleground for the world's military strategists, but if Zhu Yu and others just want to survive, it is impossible to stick to it."

Liu Xiu looked at their argument with raised eyebrows, and after calming down, he asked, "Where do you think they will try to break through?"

"Chang'an is in chaos right now, so they will definitely not go to that west. Weijun is the gate, and the road from the northeast to Hebei is also blocked. It is possible to flee north to Bingzhou, but the main force of our army is the only way to pass here , Mengjin Ferry is in our hands now." Cai Xuning said unhurriedly, sliding his fingers along the Yellow River on the map to Cijian and Yanshi.

"I think both of these are possible. The distance is relatively short. Although there are enemy troops, that is, our people are attacking, but there are not many of them. And the most important thing is that there is Jianshui near Cijian, Yanshi There is Yishui nearby, and the river is relatively turbulent, so as long as you can walk by water, you can get away from the pursuit far away."

Cai Xuning tapped hard with his fingers.

Feng Yi's eyes were full of splendor, and he laughed and said, "Your Majesty, what Da Sikong said is reasonable. They have been entrenched in the cities of Luoyang for several months, and there were surprisingly many boats at Mengjin Ferry before. On the contrary, it saved us the effort to build ships. Now it seems At the other ferry crossings, it may not be known whether they have been prepared for a long time.”

A faint smile appeared on Liu Xiu's handsome face: "Since that's the case, naturally we can't give them a chance to notice."

...

It is night, February sixteenth.The moon is dark and the wind is high.

The closed gate of Luoyang City suddenly opened.

Zhu Tuan and Li Yi led the elite soldiers to leave at night.

They marched in plain clothes all the way, and rushed to Yanshi day and night.

Originally, the waterway from Cijian to Yiyang was also considered by them, but the river of Jianshui is gentler than that of Yishui, and because of the narrowness of the dragon gate, even though it is going backwards, it is also against the wind. Experienced boatmen can easily Manipulating the sailboat to tilt, borrowing the wind to blow the sails, as long as they can get on the boat, no matter how strong Liu Xiu's troops are, they will not be able to catch up with them.

For some reason, Zhu Tuan was always feeling uneasy.

It is clear that the journey is smooth, the ferry is close in front of the eyes, but there is a big stone in the heart.

Seeing his appearance, Li Yi couldn't help but sneered and said, "You were scared out of your wits by Liu Xiu, right?"

Zhu Yu's face was a bit ugly, looking at the itinerary of less than half a day, he said: "Since Feng Yi captured Meng Jindu, I always have a feeling that our actions seem to have been controlled by Liu Xiu and the others."

Li Yi's expression changed slightly: "What do you mean?"

Zhu Tuan said quietly: "Since someone has defected to Liu Xiu before... who can guarantee that there are no one in our army?"

Li Yi looked back at the long line behind him, and his heart was filled with gloom for a moment.

On February 28, the exhausted Luoyang army rested beside Yishui.

They had already arrived at the ferry and found the boats that had been kept before. Seeing that the possibility of escape was imminent, Zhu Tuna did not dare to slack off in the slightest, urging the soldiers to repair the sailboats and plunder the skilled boatmen for use on board.

Li Yi frowned and said, "There is not enough food in the army."

Zhu Tuan's face turned cold: "Then go grab it! Don't you just want to find the boatman? After the grabbing is over, we just go on the road together."

Li Yi: "Think about it, these are the people you want to protect."

Zhu Yu sneered at him, and said gloomily: "At the beginning you turned your back on Liu Yan and almost put him to death. Now that you are chased by Liu Xiu together with me, isn't it also a good reincarnation? You escaped from Luoyang with me, and it didn't matter. It can be seen how much you care about the people of Luoyang. What nonsense are you talking to me now?"

Li Yi was so angry that he shook his sleeves and left.

After Li Yi left, Zhu Yu put away his ugly face and looked at his back thoughtfully.

In less than three days, the Luoyang army snatched the surrounding villages and towns and boatmen to board the boat. When the preparations were almost complete, the spies reported urgently, saying that they had seen the enemy army!

"This is impossible!"

"How could this be?"

The voices of Zhu Tuan and Li Yi called out almost at the same time.

They snatched out the tents and sternly told the soldiers to board the boat immediately.

"Da Sikong, my lord, but there are still a few teams who have not returned yet!" Someone from below said repeatedly.

Zhu Tuan said faintly: "Then we can only blame them for coming back too late."

He ordered without hesitation!

"Get on board—"

Zhu Tuan took the lead on boarding the deck of the ship, and seeing that the sails of the continuous ships had been raised, the tense feeling in his heart was finally relieved.

With countless ships leaving the shore, Zhu Tuan's mood became more and more cheerful, and even a faint smile appeared on his always gloomy face.

Seeing the shore getting further and further away, everything has settled down.

The boat swayed without a trace.

Standing on the deck, Zhu Tuan didn't take it seriously. Now that the wind is strong, it's normal to behave like this.

He stood in front with his hands behind his back, looking at the endless Yishui, thinking about where he would go after escaping.It's not that he can't surrender to Liu Xiu, but he was also a part of those who forced Liu Yan to fail to ascend the throne and almost killed Liu Yan.

No matter how much he talked about dismissing Liu Xiu and Liu Yang's brotherhood, no matter what, Zhu Yu didn't dare to take this matter to risk.

"I……"

He was about to speak when the boat shook violently again.

The boatman on the boat was also shocked. They gathered together to discuss, and then began to inspect the boat that should have been inspected countless times.Not only here, even the other sailboats that began to cover the water seemed to have problems.

"The bottom of the boat is leaking—"

The boatman ran up from the bottom of the cabin in a hurry, his whole body was wet, and he said tremblingly, "Quickly, quickly roll the boat back—you can't escape when you get into the river—"

Yishui is famous for its turbulent water flow.

People who don't know how to swim will almost certainly die if they fall into the water.

The boatmen who were still driving the boat to the water were scared out of their wits. Turning the bow of the boat on the river was a hassle. In addition, there were so many boats on the river, and the friction and giving in to each other wasted a lot of time. Most of the boats were sinking gradually before they were rowed back to the shore.

Inner ghost!

The word flashed across Zhu Tuan's mind, but he couldn't think much about it.

The boat he was on had taken in too much water and was slowly sinking.Although Zhu Tuna doesn't know how to swim, when he saw the boatman diving into the water with the wooden box in panic, his eyes flashed a sudden look, and he kicked down several boatmen who were snatching the wooden box at the bow. I took one myself.

He looked at the rushing river with a hideous look on his face.

If he can live, he must kill that damn ghost!

Zhu Tuan imitated the boatman and pinched his nose, and jumped into the water with the wooden box in one hand.

The breath of death appeared quietly when the icy water surface passed over his head. The more Zhu Tuo struggled, the more he sank. He held his breath, barely controlled not to flop around, and found that his body gradually floated on the water surface smoothly.

The deeper the boat sinks, the more invisible suction it will have.

Zhu Yu didn't dare to delay, and quickly slapped the bottom of the water with the soles of his feet, trying to get himself closer to the shore.

...

When Li Yi climbed ashore, his whole body was soaked.

Although winter has passed, the water in spring is still icy cold, especially the water falling from the mountain stream, which is bitingly cold at home in the mountains and forests.He shivered and sat down on the rock, picking a shelter from the wind.

Li Yi rubbed his hands while looking at the situation on the shore.

There are not many soldiers who can go ashore, and they are all ships that were originally lagging behind, but they can go ashore faster when something goes wrong.There are also soldiers and boatmen who are water-based... more of them are still ups and downs on the river.

Li Yi showed a desolate face, and shouted loudly for the soldiers who went ashore to clean themselves up.

When he lowered his head, he couldn't help showing a smile.

When Zhu Tuan climbed ashore, he was in a panic, but some soldiers found his trace during the inspection, so they rescued him.His physical strength was almost exhausted in the river, and he sat on the wooden box that he used as a life-saving driftwood in vain, panting heavily.

Li Yi did not expect that he was still alive.

After all, Zhu Tuna was the fastest one when he left, and boarded the first boat to set off.

It should have been the furthest away from the river bank.

Li Yi narrowed his eyes slightly, walked towards him with big strides, and said worried words in his mouth: "Da Sikong, is there a serious health problem? I have already set people on fire, you should hurry up..."

Beep——

A large ball of blood spurted out from Li Yi's chest.

Before Li Yi could finish his sentence, Zhu Tuan, who had been lowering his head, jumped up and pierced his kidney.

Zhu Yu raised his head, under the drenched messy hair, a pair of red eyes stared at him, and said darkly: "It was you who passed the news to Liu Xiu, right?"

...

"It's miserable."

Mr. Geng Yan came from outside the tent, shook his head, and knelt down opposite Cai Xuning.

A few days ago, they had just won a battle.

Geng Yan and Feng Yi led troops to chase after Zhu Tuan and other fugitives, and joined forces with those who had been waiting in ambush for a long time, they wiped out the desolate enemy army who had just been flooded, and Zhu Tuan surrendered.

As for Li Yi, before Feng Yi and the others appeared, he had lost too much blood and died.

The person who persuaded Li Yi to surrender was none other than Feng Yi.

Geng Yan didn't know the details. After cleaning the battlefield and on the way back with the captives and surrendered soldiers, he heard what Feng Yi said, and immediately felt that Li Yi was a bit unlucky.

He was obviously only one step away.

After hearing the ins and outs of what Geng Yan said, Cai Xuning said calmly: "It's good that Li Yi is dead. If he is alive, he has to find a way to kill him without losing his tongue. That would be a big trouble."

Geng Yan groaned, "Why?"

Li Yi's ability is good, otherwise Liu Xuan would not have allowed him to be stationed in Luoyang City with Zhu Yu.

Cai Xuning stopped the brush and looked at Geng Yan: "Li Yi originally followed Liu Yan all the way to Chang'an, and was finally named king by Liu Xuan. Although he has his own ability, he has to rely on Liu Yan. But then he Betrayed Liu Yan, joined Liu Xuan's lineage, and tried to assassinate Liu Yan."

So Liu Xiu can accept Zhu Tuan, who has been on the opposite side of Liu Yan from the very beginning, but absolutely cannot tolerate Li Yi, who betrayed Liu Yan.

Geng Yan suddenly realized.

"Da Sikong, I noticed that you seem to be very concerned about Liu Yan?" Geng Yan said curiously, "You are very familiar with these things, as if you have been paying attention to them all the time."

Cai Xuning said calmly: "He is His Majesty's elder brother, so it is necessary to pay attention to him."

He frowned and looked at Geng Yan, who was stubbornly refusing to leave, and saw that he still had some plans to gossip, and said quietly: "If you are so idle and have nothing to do, come and help me with my work. You guys had a good time fighting." , why do I have to do these aftermath things?"

As soon as Cai Xuning finished speaking, Geng Yan's figure had disappeared into the tent, and he slipped away with a smile on his face.

Cai Xuning: "..."

The topic of the barrage turned to Liu Xiu somehow.

As the barrage said, they didn't really say anything, they just returned to their previous appearance.But the war broke out within two days, and he rushed to the front line overnight, so he didn't have much time to talk about those love affairs.

He wants to suck Axiu to continue his life.

Cai Xuning lay down, covered his face and let out a mournful sigh.

It's all because the barrage was brought up again.

Although they are both in the army now, the military is important. When they met, they didn't say a few words at all, they were all talking about official business.

People just can't understand too many things. Once they see through, greed will follow.When he didn't know why, even though he was close to Liu Xiu, he never felt like this.

Cai Xuning pursed her lips.

want to see him.
