Chapter 603 Take Luoyang 9
"Don't worry, we are on the same road now, and we won't hurt you. Compared with Hu prison, Luyang is more of great credit. Isn't General Zhou interested?" Zhang Xiudao.
A flash of light flashed in Zhou Xing's eyes. Now that he has made a good choice, he can no longer worry about gains and losses. Full cooperation with Xiliang Army is the best choice.
The next day, Zhou Xing just said the proposal, and there was endless opposition.
When the new official took office with three fires, Zhou Xing's first fire encountered such a big obstacle. He must be a little unhappy and said coldly, "I am the main general in the army. Don't I have such power? The death of General Xiahou is bound to have a lot to do with the Xiliang army outside the city. As the saying goes, the mourners will win. If you go out of the city and fight with them, you will definitely be able to achieve the results and regain the prestige of the army.
Xia Houyu immediately retorted, "I don't agree with the general's words. There are 100,000 Xiliang troops outside the customs, which are extremely elite. All the soldiers in the customs are out, and they can't get any advantage yet. If you open the door, you will die."
Zhou Xing said sadly, "General Xiahou treated me very kindly when he was alive. I didn't expect that the generals under his command would say anything against going out of the customs to avenge him. I don't know what he will think. I'm ashamed of General Xiahou."
When the generals in the army heard this, they also solved all their doubts about Zhou Xing and persuaded him one after another, but more people still tend to hold the door firmly.
Zhou Xing could not disobey everyone's intention, and Zhang Xiu also shook his head slightly and had to nod and agree.
"General Zhang, as you can see, most of the generals in the army do not agree to open the door."
Zhang Xiu said, "General Zhou, don't worry. You are the main general in the army. You can choose to secretly accept the army outside the city to enter the city. You don't have to get their consent. At that time, find a name to gather all the generals together, ambush the knife and axes outside, and tell everyone your choice, but if there are those who don't, you can Just kill it."
Zhou Xing nodded and agreed with Zhang Xiu's remarks.
Late the next day, Zhou Xing suddenly ordered that the generals above the lieutenant of the army should go to the big tent to discuss matters. Suddenly, although the generals had a lot of complaints, they still lingered to the big tent of the Chinese army.
Looking at the generals who were talking endlessly below, Zhou Xing frowned slightly and looked at the place where the soldiers and axes guarded outside were hiding. He was much relieved.
Xia Houyu felt that Zhou Xing was very problematic. He gathered all the generals in the middle of the night, saying that there was an important military opportunity.
"General Zhou, what's going on? Could it be that the Xiliang Army attacked the city?
Anyone can hear the dissatisfaction in Xia Houyu's tone.
Zhou Xing did not answer, but took a look at Zhang Xiu around him.
"Calling you all over late at night, but it's an important announcement." The discussion in the account gradually decreased.
"Since I became the general of the army, thank you for your support. The Xiliang army outside the customs is strong, and the king of Liang treats the people generously..."
"General Zhou, what do you mean?" Xia Houyu immediately stood up and shouted.
"Listen to the general." Zhou Xing continued, "I have been thinking about it for a long time. For the sake of the hundreds of thousands of people around Luoyang, I decided to turn to King Liang."
After a short period of silence in the account, they immediately fell into a quarrel. They accused Zhou Xing one after another, and some generals had already approached in the direction of Zhou Xing. If they wanted to kill him, there were still many people who were willing to sit in the position of the military general.
Dozens of soldiers in armor suddenly broke in behind Zhou Xing, staring at the generals in the tent.
"Zhou Xing, if you betrayed your master, you will definitely die." A general pointed to Zhou Xing and cursed.
Zhou Xing snorted coldly, "Come on, take down General Li."
The soldier got the order and rampaged, holding General Li down so that he could not move.
Although there are many generals in the tent, there are also many people with bright eyes. Looking at Zhou Xing's situation, it is clear that they want to turn to the Xiliang Army, and there are many soldiers outside the tent by mistake. If they are not careful, their lives are here. In the face of life and justice, many people choose to be silent.
Among Cao's army, there are still many loyal generals, that is, Zhou Xing prepared in advance, and two generals rushed over. Fortunately, Zhang Xiu decisively killed him.
Looking at the bloody ground and the frightened face of the other generals, Zhang Xiu smiled and said, "Why is that? Isn't your life important? As long as you cooperate obediently, after the Xiliang Army occupies Luoyang, you are still the generals in the army. If you perform well, there may be rewards.
"Who else has any objection to the king of Liang?"
After this change, although the flag fluttering on the tiger prison is still the flag of the Cao army, it actually belongs to the Xiliang army.
No one dares to disobey Zhou Xing's order. The boulder piled up before closing the door has been cleaned up.
Jia Rong secretly ordered Zhao Yun to lead 3,000 cavalry and send troops to Luyang. He should take advantage of Cao Ren's failure to react and take Luyang as his own. The cavalry sent by Zhou Xing before was expected to have rushed to Luyang. It would be best to have reinforcements in the city. On the way, he met the Xiliang Army to destroy the power of the Luyang garrison, and then get out. I don't want to occupy Luoyang.
Three thousand cavalrymen were all dressed in Cao's clothes and held high the banner of Xiahou. The passing merchants and the people were convinced. After all, the Cao army ruled around Luoyang. Everyone knows that there was nothing to doubt. The only thing that shocked me was when Cao's army had so many cavalry.
The scout kept searching for the news in front of them. The group of people came to Luyang non-stop, but found that the gate was closed, and the defenders on the city were waiting, as if they had found something.
Hearing the news of the scout report, Zhao Yun frowned slightly. Normally, the cavalry sent to Luyang were all Cao's cavalry, which would not cause Cao Ren's suspicion. The Xiliang army had 100,000 people outside the Hu prison. It was normal for the tiger prison guard to ask for help from Luyang, and he was sure that the defenders of Luyang did not find it. Self.
The general who commanded the cavalry was Zhou Xing's subordinate. There were more than a dozen guards around him. When he entered Luyang, he was detained by Cao Ren. He fought all year round, which made him feel that things were not so simple. If there was a war in Luyang, he would not send so many soldiers to rescue him. Even if dozens of people came to Luoyang, Cao Ren could know that he More than 100 cavalry must be dispatched.
Cao Ren's suspicion saved Lu Yang from a disaster, but they were all under the command of Cao's army. Cao Ren could not go too much. He just detained the cavalry, still provided food and accommodation, and enjoyed the treatment of the cavalry.
These cavalry did not know the above meaning and thought that what had happened in the army. They were the cavalry in the Cao army, so naturally they did not violate it.
Zhou Xing's subordinates became anxious. He was Zhou Xing's confidant. Naturally, he understood some things about Zhou Xing. Before he didn't wait for the news, he couldn't help but try to escape. As a result, of course, he was caught by Cao Ren and tortured him and forced him to ask about the Tiger Prison Pass. The guards in the city were greatly strengthened.
Cao Ren was secretly happy. Fortunately, Zhou Xing's men could not calm down. Otherwise, at the critical moment, he might be able to influence the situation in Luyang. He was entrusted with heavy responsibility to stay in Luyang. Naturally, he naturally understood that in the city of Luyang, there was no lack of the power of the Xiliang army. On the surface, a regiment of harmony, until the crisis. At that time, they must all jump up.
Jia Rong's plan was very good. Unexpectedly, Zhou Xing's cowardly performance was destroyed. This is also why Zhang Xiu and Zhou Xing's previous plans were not sufficient.
After receiving the news from Luyang City, Zhao Yun knew that the matter had been leaked and was no longer hidden. He openly led 3,000 cavalry and walked twice under Luyang City.
The cavalry of the Xiliang Army appeared outside the city of Luyang, and the city was greatly shaken. In recent years, there have been many merchants who went to Chang'an to do business in Luyang. They have more or less understanding of the Xiliang Army. Businessmen who have the experience of guarding and protecting the caravans know more about the strength of the Xiliang Army. After they come to Luoyang, does it mean that Luo Yang is going to fall into the flames of war.
People in the city are panicked. The gate of Luyang is also closed, and the number of soldiers patrolling the streets has also increased a lot.
After Jia Rong heard the news from the lone wolf soldiers, he couldn't help but be slightly angry. There were too many soldiers sent to Luoyang, which aroused Cao Ren's suspicion. There was no turning back arrow. No matter how strong the Liyang was, the Xiliang army would also gnaw it down.
The 80,000 army surrounded the dragonfly. Jia Rong led the soldiers to look at the city of dragonflies, that is, there were hundreds of thousands of soldiers in the princes, and they were still wandering outside the city of the city, instead of attacking, mainly because the city of Luyang was really difficult for people to attack. The wide moat towered into the clouds. The city wall, as the capital of the Eastern Han Dynasty, is the strongest in the world. If Jia Rong didn't take the water pass and the Hu Prison Pass, there were 100,000 soldiers in his hand, and they still couldn't reach Luyang.
Such as not to mention anything else, the moat is enough for the Xiliang Army to be busy. The suspension bridge outside the city was hoisted long before the arrival of the army.
The help-seeking soldiers sent by Cao Ren have rushed to Yanzhou. The Xiliang army surrounded Luyang, which is of great importance. There are only more than 10,000 defenders in the city, and the grain and grass are only enough for March. If the Xiliang army attacks hard, he does not have strong self-confidence in the face of the Xiliang army.
On the day when the army camped, the persuasion letter of the Xiliang Army circulated in the city, which wrote how the Xiliang Army treated the merchants and the people, and offered a reward for Cao Ren's head. Cao Ren's face was extremely ugly.
The deputy general advised: "General, the Xiliang army is broadcasting rumors in the city. I'm afraid that the army is unstable. Why don't you order all these persuasion letters to be taken back? No one is allowed to discuss it privately.
"No, the people and merchants will know the content of the letter sooner or later. Instead of blocking it, it is better to let nature take its course. The merchants and the people have no troops in their hands, and they have empty hearts, and they can't do it. As long as they are strictly guarded, they don't give the opportunity to the Xiliang army." Cao Rendao, as a famous general in Cao's army, naturally knew what would happen if he sealed the mouths of the people, but the Xiliang army did treat the merchants and the people as the letter said, so that Cao Ren could not find a reason to refute. The people under the Xiliang army had already spread near Luoyang, and the merchants who went to Chang'an came. There are often so many messages that are difficult to stop.
