Chapter 291 Fenghuo

and state.

Wen Chumao never drinks, even if it's the Spring Festival. After having a New Year's Eve dinner with his colleagues in the military camp, he toured the city accompanied by several guards.

When walking through the south city, he couldn't help looking in the direction of Luoyang. His family was all in Luoyang. At this time, the bell of Luoyang Palace should ring, right?

If it hadn't been for those restless neighbors, I could have gone back to reunited with my family. It seems that only when the world is truly unified can I be reunited with my family.

Shaking his head slightly, he walked to the west city. Just a few steps, he saw a soldier running towards him.

"General, general, beacon, beacon fire, direction of Hexi County"

"What?"

Wen Chumao was stunned for a moment, and then was shocked. He pushed away the soldiers in front of him and quickly ran to the West City. Before he reached the main gate of the West City, he saw the beacons igniting fires and quickly spread to the distance.

Years of experience told Wen Chumao that something must have happened in Hexi County, but what can happen at this time? Qin Jun ate too much for New Year's Eve dinner and had a lot of courage?

"Come on, send a scout immediately to Hexi County to see what happened? Blow the trumpet and call all the troops up to the city for alert"

Wen Chumao comes from Zhao Lunwen's command and is best at defense. He analyzes the current situation in an instant. If the enemy attacks Hexi County, he will definitely prepare for the state to send troops. Then at this time, the troops will definitely be ambushed by the enemy, so they must wait until dawn and all the situation is clear.

As early as when Lu Qiang passed through everywhere, he ordered people to build the beacon all the way. Once the beacon fire was ignited at the border gate, it would soon spread to Luoyang, so Wen Chumao was not worried that Lu Qiang would be kept in the dark.

At this time, Hexi County was trapped in a sea of fire, and there were shouts of killing everywhere. At the beacon platform at the head of the city, Captain Yang, who was hit by six arrows, lay on his back beside the beacon. Even though he was seriously injured, he still climbed to the beacon and lit the beacon.

The beacon danced romantically in the night. Captain Yang, who looked up at the beacon fire, finally passed away with a smile. As a low-level officer defending the city, in this defense battle, although he did not kill an enemy, he still used his last strength to call the police to the people of the court in the rear and fulfilled the duty of a soldier. He walked peacefully.

It was not the Qin army that came to attack, but the Wei army, which was the plan set by Yao Shuode.

asked the Wei army to deceive the agents of the Jin Dynasty by looting the border of Qin, secretly transporting the army to the Yellow River at the border between Qin and Jin in batches, and finally chose to launch it on New Year's Eve.

After sneaking on and bloody washing Hexi County, the long-standing 200,000 Wei and Qin allied forces broke into the territory of the Jin Dynasty, and then divided their troops into two routes, besieged Bingzhou all the way north, and went all the way south to Luoyang.

There were millions of troops in the Jin Dynasty, but most of these troops were stationed at the border. There were more than 100,000 troops around Luoyang, but after dispersing to Hulao guan, Hangu Pass and Qiguan, the actual strength of Luoyang was only 50,000.

It was Yao Shuode who saw this point that he broke into the hinterland of the Jin Dynasty in this form.

"Oh, Oh..." The long-awaited New Year's bell finally rang on the wall of Luoyang Palace. Countless people gathered outside the palace. After hearing the bell, they immediately cheered.

"Huge, long live..." The voice sounded one after another in the crowd.

Lu Qiang, Wang Shenai and other family people stood on the palace wall and waved to the people, but if they approached, it would not be difficult to find that Lu Qiang's face did not have a trace of festive joy.

Although the beacon fire had not yet spread to Luoyang, the 800 miles around the border gate was delivered.

Xiliang Li Wei sent 100,000 troops, and now he has entered the land of Qiuchi and is advancing towards Qinzhou.

Qin general Yang Fosuan led 100,000 troops out of Wuguan and killed Jingzhou at night.

Gao Tande sent 100,000 troops to Liaodong County.

The 100,000 troops of Tuobayi came out and went straight to the Yanmen Gate.

The enemy's three-way attack did not show any warning in advance. Obviously, it had been planned for a long time. It not only succeeded in deceiving the agents of the Jin Dynasty, but also played Lu Qiang in the palm of their hands.

No wonder Yao Xing was so servile and Li Xin suddenly disappeared. It turned out that all this was planned.

Although the enemy came fiercely, Lu Qiang did not pay attention to them. After accompanying the people to ring the New Year's bell, he would deploy troops to prepare for a counterattack.

In order to hear the New Year's bells, the people have been waiting for half a night. Now that the bells have rang, the excited people have gradually dispersed and gone home to rest.

It should be said that the beacon was also a great invention of the ancients. Its transmission speed far exceeded that of any means of transportation at that time.

At this time, in the study, the important civil and military ministers in Beijing have arrived, but many people still don't know what happened.

Sending Wang Shenai back to the harem, Lu Qiang quickly came to the upper study. Before he could speak, he saw Wang Tie, the chief bodyguard, quickly walk in.

"Your Majesty, Guan Fenghuo"

"What?"

Lu Qiang's surprise is not small. You should know that there are hundreds of thousands of troops in front of him. Even if the enemy has a million troops, it is impossible to reach the barrier so quickly.

Without having time to say hello to the ministers, he quickly walked to the large combat room next to the study, where there was an extremely large sand table. From here, the situation of the enemy and us in the north was clear at a glance.

Lu Qiang stood next to the sand table and fell on the Yellow River at first sight. He understood that the Yellow River was frozen in winter, and the enemy must have been killed from the frozen Yellow River, but he still didn't understand. Did Yao Xing take the wrong medicine? How dare you take the initiative to attack yourself.

This time, the enemy came fiercely and calculated accurately. They restrained the elite troops at their own border with a large army, and then sent an army to go straight to Huanglong.

It seems that I really underestimated these neighboring countries in the past, and there are many capable people among them! But do you want to defeat me like this? What they think is so beautiful.

At this time, the cabinet and ministers have already stood behind Lu Qiang. Although the specific situation is not known, a beacon has come from the Guanguan, indicating that the enemy has penetrated into the hinterland of the imperial court. This situation has never been seen before. Some people are even thinking about whether the tragedy of Yuan Emperor Nandu will be repeated again?

Lu Qiang simply informed the ministers of what he knew, and then said, "The situation is urgent. I want to hear your opinions."

After a few whispered discussions between Han Yanzhi and Wang Zhen, who had returned to the cabinet, he took the lead in saying: "Although the enemy is fierce, it is now winter. The enemy's logistical supplies can't keep up and must not last for a long time. What I am worried about is the villages and towns between Bingzhou and Qiguan, so I suggest that General Tandaoji of Youzhou should send an army to harass the enemy. Military rear, and seize the time to evacuate the people along the way"

The beacon has come. I don't know if it's too late to do this at this time? But these must also be done to mend.

Lu Qiang nodded and asked the clerk next to him to immediately draft a decree and send it to Tan Daoji after printing.

listened to Han Yanzhi continue to say: "Li Yu and Yang Fo Song are not worried. The two generals He and Zhao are good at commanding their troops, and the two places are stationed at no less than 100,000. I don't care that they can come in, and Tuoba Yi will return with the heroism of the Yanmen Gate. As for Gao Dande, it will be better. Although the sea is cold in winter, it is not impossible to sail. Your Majesty can order Governor Xu to station in Baekje with a small number of people and coerce the brothers to send troops to Goguryeo. Gao Tande will retreat without fighting."

"So the only thing to worry about now is to kill this man and horse in my hinterland"

Han Yanzhi's statement can be said to coincide with Lu Qiang, and nodded: "Go on"

"What I mean is that before the enemy has reached the Pass, immediately evacuate the people from Luoyang to the Pass, and then let the enemy into the Pass. The advantage of this is that the enemy must come from afar and want to kill Luoyang as soon as possible in order to capture Luoyang unexpectedly, and if we let them enter the customs, we can minimize the casualties of people outside the customs and other counties."

Lu Qiang has always said that Han Yanzhi is handsome, but now it seems that he does not disappoint himself. At this time, Zhao Yong came over, whispered something in his ear, and then walked away.

"Tell everyone that the good news is that Li Wei's son has been captured and returned. He sent a letter to Li Wei and asked him if he still wants this son?"

"Dear Excellency, you have heard what Han Qing said just now. Now you immediately return to your government office, gather all the subordinates who are on vacation at home, and return to the government office to start work. I only give you three days. Within three days, you must transfer the people of nearby villages and counties to the city."

"Han Qing, I order you to sit in the gate. No matter how fierce the enemy is, you must hold on to me for three days."

Lu Qiang's gloomy face finally showed a smile and conveyed his will one by one during the conversation and laughter. It was also his calmness before the collapse of Mount Tai that gave the ministers incomparable confidence.

The ministers answered and turned around and left one after another.

After there was no one else in the study, Lu Qiang couldn't help leaning against the chair tiredly. To be honest, he hadn't felt this way for a long time.

The enemy made such a big move unconsciously, which made him feel out of control. He knew that he could not completely blame the detectives everywhere. The enemy was well-intentioned and the detectives were not omnipotent.

"Your Majesty, it's late at night, it's time for you to rest," Zhao Yong reminded.

Lu Qiang suddenly knew why so many eunuchs had gained power and were deeply convinced by the emperors of all dynasties, because the emperor was too lonely.

No matter what happens, the emperor must remain calm, so in the eyes of his subjects, the emperor is superior and omnipotent, but who understands the loneliness in the emperor's heart?

Whenever the emperor sits alone, these eunuchs accompany them alone.

Shake his head and said, "Go to Liu Si's house for a while"

This has almost become Lu Qiang's habit. Every time he is upset, he will go to Liu Sinu's place for a while.

Although there is a beacon fire ahead, the specific situation is not yet known. The capital has also made all kinds of preparations, so what Lu Qiang can do now is wait.

Liu Sinu seems to know that Lu Qiang is going, and the light in the study has been on. In fact, he knows no less than Lu Qiang.

And Lu Qiang has always acquiesced that he has this energy. It can be said that this trust has penetrated into the bone marrow and is unmatched by anyone.

The moonlight was cold, and Liu Sinu accompanied Lu Qiang on the already empty street. From Lu Qiang's expression that had not spoken for a long time, Liu Sinu felt that Lu Qiang must be very irritable.

According to reason, all kinds of troops have been arranged, and Lu Qiang should have nothing to worry about, but his current appearance is obviously full of worries. Is he worried that he can't stop the enemy's attack?
