Early in the morning, the villagers of the villages near Shouyang Mountain, as usual, finished breakfast early, and went to work in the fields one after another, these villagers are extremely ordinary people, and the fields are the guarantee of their survival, so most of their lives are dealing with the fields, and the lifestyle of sunrise and sunset has been deeply rooted in their bone marrow.

These villagers have men and women, old and young, they carry hoes and dry food, carry water, walk in groups of three or five, of course, there are some naughty children, following behind their families, running in the direction of the fields, these children naturally do not go to work, but to play in the fields, in the ditches in the fields, there will always be a large group of fish and shrimp that interest them, and their task is to catch these fish and shrimp, so that at dinner, their home will have an extra delicacy.

After arriving at the fields, the adults began their day's work, while the children began to search for ditches and catch fish and shrimp, and lived a simple and stable life.

However, on this day, their lives are not wrong and destined to be not peaceful, in the depths of Shouyang Mountain not far from the field, more than 1,000 remnants of the Qiang tribe, have been under the leadership of their commander Shi Guofu, quietly walked out of the deep mountains, and the soldiers were divided into ten roads, to the foot of the mountain to kill, they want to massacre the nearby people, create a terrifying atmosphere, so as to lead out the soldiers and horses of Luoyang City, and in the Shouyang Mountain, and the soldiers and horses of the Great Jin Dynasty.

The terrain of Shouyang Mountain is steep, Shi Guofu and his 1,000 soldiers and horses have been entrenched here for several years, and they are very familiar with the terrain here, so even if all the 20,000 soldiers and horses in Luoyang City are killed in Shouyang Mountain, he is not afraid at all, and even feels that he can rely on his familiarity with the terrain to inflict heavy losses on the Jin army in Luoyang City.

And the reason why he responded to He Zhong's plan was naturally because Hua'an's eloquence made him fearful. He knew very well that if Hua'an did not die, his wish to restore the Zhao State would not be realized.

Of course, even if Hua'an suffered misfortune, the strength in his hands would not be enough to restore the Zhao State. However, he had a trace of luck in his heart, he felt that once Hua'an encountered an accident, the Central Plains would be in chaos again, and in this way, even if his strength was not enough to confront the rest of the forces, it was more than enough to snatch a city and establish a small-scale Zhao State.

Since Shi Guofu agreed to cooperate with He Zhong, he would naturally spare no effort to do evil near Shouyang Mountain. In order to attract the soldiers and horses of Luoyang City.

"Kill ......" Shi Guofu shouted, leading one of the soldiers and horses to kill the people who were working at the foot of the mountain.

The people who were working heard the shouts of killing, and they were immediately frightened, and when they looked up, they saw that they were actually a group of Qihu bandits holding bright weapons, which made them even more frightened.

"The Hu people are here. The bandits are coming, everyone run! The people cried out with a loud voice.

Suddenly. Many people threw away their hoes and dry food and ran away for their lives, and of course, some villagers with children were looking for their children. Worried that the child would be killed by the Hu people.

The villagers helped the old and the young and fled into the distance, how could they escape the pursuit of the Hu thief, and soon, with the Ming Huang battle axe falling one after another. A large number of villagers fell in a pool of blood, only 12 out of 10 were able to escape, and this is their goal, if all the villagers are killed, there will be no one to report the news, and what happened here will not be able to quickly spread to Luoyang City.

With the killing of more than 1,000 thieves, dozens of villages near Shouyang Mountain have been wiped out, and a large number of surviving people have fled in the direction of Luoyang City, they know that Luoyang City is the capital of the Great Jin Dynasty, and there are many soldiers and horses in it, as long as they enter Luoyang City, they no longer have to worry about being killed by Luoyang City.

And just when Qianhu was killing the people, a large number of masked bandits also appeared in several villages near Pingxian, and they also took hundreds of people to loot the people's property in various villages, and if they encountered the resistance of the people, they would immediately kill them, and this army of soldiers and horses was naturally the soldiers and horses under the command of Murong Ying and Murong Ba.

Some of the people near Pingxian County fled in the direction of the county seat, while others ran directly in the direction of Luoyang City.

In the North Palace of Luoyang City, Hua An had just finished dealing with a major matter when he saw a henchman hurrying over.

"So panicked, what's going on?" Hua An hurriedly asked.

"King Qiqi, something big happened, a large number of bandits appeared in the area of Shouyang Mountain, and wantonly killed the people, the surviving people have fled into Luoyang City, and a large number of bandits have also appeared near Ping County, and robbed the people's property and killed ordinary people." The henchman reported loudly.

Hua An was not too surprised when he heard this, this was all He Zhong's conspiracy, he had already learned in advance, however, a large number of ordinary people were slaughtered, which still made Hua An's head very uncomfortable, after all, the people were not guilty, and it was really inhumane to sacrifice the lives of the people for political interests.

However, no matter what, the matter has really happened, and what he has to do now is to prepare to send troops to Shouyang Mountain and Heping County according to the plan.

Compared with Hua'an's calmness, He Zhong was more shocked when he learned the news, he just asked Shi Guofu and Murong Ying to make some moves, but he didn't expect Shi Guofu to indulge his subordinates and kill the people on a large scale, and the people killed by Shi Guofu's Qihu soldiers have exceeded 10,000 people, which has caused a great shock to the entire Luoyang City, since the survivors rushed into Luoyang City, the people in the streets and alleys are talking about it.

At this time, He Zhong's heart was both regretful and glad, he regretted that he should not cooperate with a cruel person like Shi Guofu, so that more than 10,000 people died innocently, but at the same time, he was also glad that he did not let Shi Guofu's men and horses be responsible for rushing into the palace, otherwise, the princes and nobles of the entire Great Jin Dynasty should not be killed by him, however, what made He Zhong very worried was whether the people of the other four major forces would get out of control, and they would not completely obey their orders, if there was a cruel person like Shi Guofu again, Wouldn't all the ministers in the palace suffer, and the concubines and maids in the harem were even more dangerous.

Thinking of this, He Zhong's heart even retreated, he had some urge to cancel the action, but this impulse quickly subsided, after all, at this time, he was already ready to send an arrow. If the operation is canceled at this time, everything will fall short, and the more than 10,000 people killed by Shi Guofu will not die in vain?

He Zhongxin strode towards the emperor's dormitory, he wanted to persuade the emperor to summon all his ministers to discuss the matter of dealing with the bandits. As a result, the elite soldiers and horses under the command of Hua'an were transferred out of Luoyang City.

Emperor Sima Dan was a person without ideas, and when he saw that what He Zhong said was very reasonable, he immediately issued an order to summon the important ministers of Luoyang City and go to the palace hall.

"Your Majesty, the emperor summoned all the officials above the fifth rank in Luoyang City to discuss major matters in the palace hall." Soon, the order of Emperor Sima Dan. And it spread to the palace of the North King.

Hearing this, Hua An smiled slightly at the corner of his mouth, and led a team of personal soldiers to run in the direction of the palace hall.

Soon, all the officials above the fifth grade in Luoyang City entered the palace hall and began to discuss the matter of dealing with the thieves.

Emperor Sima Dan looked at everyone and said loudly, "I just got the news. In the vicinity of Shouyang Mountain and Heping County, a large number of thieves have appeared one after another. In particular, the thieves of Shouyang Mountain were extremely cruel and even killed more than 10,000 of my people in the Great Jin Dynasty, and I felt that this matter was very important, so I wanted to listen to the opinions of the audience's family. ”

"Your Majesty, Shouyang Mountain and Heping County. They are all near Luoyang City, at the feet of the Son of Heaven, these thieves dare to make trouble at the feet of the Son of Heaven, they really eat the gall of the bear's heart and the leopard, and they must be given a head-on attack immediately. The arrogance of thieves must not be allowed to continue. One of the ministers exclaimed.

"That's right, the emperor, you must immediately transfer troops to the north and annihilate these thieves in one fell swoop, leaving no one behind." Another minister said loudly.

Obviously, the little thief dared to make trouble at the foot of Luoyang City, it was very bold and rude, if he did not immediately punish him, he could not maintain the face of the Great Jin Dynasty, so the ministers were naturally very angry, and demanded that troops be sent north immediately to exterminate the thieves who were in trouble.

Seeing that all the ministers had a tough attitude and demanded the extermination of the thieves, Emperor Sima Dan nodded approvingly, looked at Hua'an, and said: "The thieves are making trouble and slaughtering the people, what does the emperor think should be done." ”

Obviously, Sima Dan knew very well that the main soldiers and horses in Luoyang City were all soldiers under Hua'an, so even if there were more ministers to support the dispatch of troops, it must be approved by Hua'an.

When Hua An heard this, he hugged his fists and said: "Your Majesty, if the thieves dare to make trouble at the feet of the Son of Heaven, they naturally cannot be forgiven. ”

"Okay, with the soldiers and horses under the command of Uncle Huang attacking, they will definitely be able to destroy the bandits and exterminate this group of hateful bandits in one fell swoop." Sima Dan said happily.

"Your Majesty, the last general is also willing to lead the troops to attack and break the bandits." A captain of the Wuyi battalion hugged his fist.

"Your Majesty, the last general is also willing to send troops."

"Your Majesty, count the last general."

"Your Majesty, the last general and a thousand soldiers under his command are ready to send troops at any time."

Suddenly, except for Yin Jian and Chu Jian, the remaining four camp owners of the Wuyi battalion all took the initiative to ask for help, asking the troops to strangle the bandits.

Of course, they listened to He Zhong's persuasion, so they were so active, after all, they had a good relationship with He Zhong, and they knew very well that the number of thieves in this gang was not large, they felt that they had the ability to deal with it, and the soldiers and horses under Hua'an would also go to suppress the thieves, so they didn't have to worry, and they had very few opportunities to make meritorious contributions as the Wuyi Battalion.

"Okay, the Wuyi battalion is actively participating in the battle, and I am ready, but if you don't have enough combat experience, you will belong to the emperor's uncle!" Sima Dan said happily.

When the four captains of the Wuyi battalion heard this, they were slightly displeased, but since it was an order from Emperor Sima Dan, they could not object, so they could only admit it.

Sima Dan looked at Hua'an and said, "Uncle Huang is fighting in the south and the north, and he is quite familiar with the war, I don't know what Uncle Huang's plan is to suppress thieves?" ”

Hua An smiled confidently, and said with a straight face: "It's just a thief, there's no need to worry about it at all, the minister has enough confidence that he can exterminate these thieves." ”

When Sima Dan heard this, his heart was quite happy, and he said: "Since this is the case, Uncle Huang will directly issue a combat order!" ”

After all, Emperor Sima Dan didn't understand military affairs very much, so he had to hand over the task of suppressing thieves to Hua'an.

When Hua An heard this, he was not polite, looked at Wang San and Zhuge Xiong behind him, and said: "General Zhuge General, you command the six thousand elites of the department, gather the four thousand men and horses of the Wuyi Battalion, and immediately march to the direction of Shouyang Mountain, be sure to destroy all the bandits, and return the people to a stable life." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty." Zhuge Xiong received the order loudly, and immediately turned around and left the main hall and went to the camp to prepare.

Seeing this, the four captains of the Wuyi battalion glanced at each other, followed and left, and returned to their respective camps to prepare.

"General Wang, you command 8,000 soldiers and horses in your department, march in the direction of Pingxian, and be responsible for exterminating the bandits near Pingxian." Hua An then ordered.

"Yes, Your Majesty." Wang San clenched his fists and took the order, and immediately went to prepare.

At this time, Hua'an can say that all the mobile soldiers and horses under his command have been transferred, in addition to the 14,000 soldiers and horses who were transferred to suppress the thieves, the soldiers and horses left in Luoyang City are only more than 8,000, among them, 3,000 soldiers and horses in the three city gates, 3,000 soldiers and horses in the North Palace, and 2,000 soldiers and horses in the palace, there are no mobile troops, of course, the North Palace only needs 1,000 soldiers and horses to guard it well, and the extra 2,000 soldiers and horses can be put into the city at any time to deal with the crisis in the city, in addition, there are 20,000 elite soldiers and horses hidden in the south of Luoshui, which can support the city at any time, Therefore, Hua An does not have to worry about the situation in the city getting out of control at all, on the contrary, the reason why he did this is to let He Zhong eliminate his vigilance, so that he can rest assured that he can boldly implement the plan, so that Hua An can easily get rid of He Zhong and other opposition forces, and at the same time, annihilate all the Hulu people who rushed into the palace.

After arranging the combat mission, Emperor Sima Dan felt very satisfied, and handed over the task of suppressing thieves to Hua'an, and then retreated.

However, after retiring from the dynasty, several henchmen under Hua'an's command all thought that the sudden appearance of thieves around Luoyang City was very abnormal, and felt that this might be a conspiracy and must be dealt with carefully, and they were worried that Hua'an would transfer so many soldiers and horses to exterminate the thieves, which would make Luoyang City look empty, and it was very likely that the thieves would take advantage of it.

These confidants naturally didn't know Hua'an's strategy, but seeing Hua'an's confident look, they didn't say anything.

After returning to the Beiwang Palace, Hua'an immediately issued an order, in the name of training troops, to let the Zhouqiao battalion outside the city immediately build a pontoon bridge over Luoshui to deal with the impending dangerous situation in Luoyang City.

After receiving the order, the Zhouqiao Battalion immediately transferred hundreds of soldiers and horses and began to build a pontoon bridge over Luoshui
