Chapter 614 turned his head into nothing

Misfortune and blessing are relied upon, and blessing and misfortune are lurking.

Wang Shichong was a treacherous man, watching Li Yuan and Yang Jian fight in Hedong. When he saw Chen Pojun's army moving south, drinking the Yellow River, and feeling a heavy sense of crisis, he also smelled a glimmer of opportunity.

He first ran to Hedong and deliberately revealed his news in Hedong, which caused the Li family to be jealous, Li Shimin and Li Xiaogong went all out to attack the north and south, and then he pretended to have returned to Luoyang and feigned defeat at the Li family. Not only did the Li family start a decisive battle with Yang Yin without worries, but also made his whereabouts confusing, so that Li Mi did not dare to move.

As a result, when Li Mi was still hesitating, he had already taken advantage of Yang Mian's defeat of Li Yuan, took advantage of the gap, and took one step ahead of Yang Mian in one fell swoop, snatching the land of the five counties in Hedong into his hands. It can really be described as a praying mantis catching cicadas, and the yellow finch is behind.

After seizing the land of the five counties in Hedong, Wang Shichong sent troops north to attack the Huoyi Pass, and on the other hand, he also sent troops to Chen Bing to the passes of Hedong County to strictly prevent Yang Jun from going north to compete for the fruits of victory. Moreover, in order to prevent him from leaving Luoyang for a long time and the situation changed, Wang Shichong also prepared to return to Luoyang overnight after the victory.

However, as soon as he arrived in Hanoi County, he received news that there was infighting among Li Mi's army. Li Mi set up a Hongmen banquet and killed Zhai, the old leader of the Wagang Army. When the news came, Wang Shichong almost couldn't believe it, he couldn't believe that a character like Li Mi could do such a mentally retarded thing.

Especially when he heard that Li Mi had just killed Zhai Rang and immediately raised another 100,000 troops to cross the Yellow River north, go north to Hebei, and grab Ji County with the Liaodong Army, his heart was even more happy. So much so that when he received this military information, he once laughed and said to his subordinates: "This kid is so stupid that he still wants to be an emperor, it is really ridiculous." I'm just going to chase away a dog! ”

When he got the exact information, he did find that Li Mi had led many generals under his command, and led 100,000 elite soldiers of Wei to pass the Tiger Prison Pass, and after heading east, Wang Shichong was completely relieved.

Although he was picking up cheap on the battlefield in Hedong, Wang Shichong had to calculate Li Yuan and Yang Jun, and after success, he had to face the remnants of the Li family's forces in the counties, and he had to strictly guard against Yang Yong, who was robbed of the fruits of victory by him in the south, and he had to deal with Li Shenyong and other soldiers and horses in the north. Seeing that Wang Shichong was running to Hebei, he simply rested in Hanoi County temporarily, and did not rush to cross the river and return to Luoyang.

Blessings and misfortunes lurk, and misfortunes and blessings rely on.

When Wang Shichong was proud, he was very happy and sad.

In this world, the battle has reached this day, and the leaders of each side can be called one side of the hero. Countless conspiracies and tricks, all the way in the bloody rain, none of them are simple characters. A small contempt can be exchanged for a painful defeat.

Wang Shichong carelessly stayed in Hanoi County to rest, and Duan Da and others who stayed in the eastern capital were even more careless. Hearing that Li Mi's army went to Hebei, everyone applauded and applauded, and the Wagang army fought back and forth, and everyone fought near Luoyang for almost a year, but now, the west of Luoyang is occupied by Wang Shichong's soldiers and horses, and the east of Luoyang is occupied by Li Mi's soldiers and horses. The two sides launched a big battle, and the two sides continued to switch offense and defense, and the junction was staggered, but it was already in a stalemate. You can't help me, and I can't help you.

Therefore, the Luoyang defenders guarding the granary outside Luoyang City immediately felt relieved when they knew that Li Mi had transferred away 100,000 elite troops.

As a result, Li Mi taught them a lesson and told them what it means to be a soldier and not get tired of cheating.

Just when Li Mi crossed the Tiger Prison Pass with 100,000 rabble soldiers of the Alliance Righteous Army, under his own banner, Li Mi took all the 200,000 soldiers and horses near Luoyang, divided into two divisions, and personally led 130,000 soldiers and horses to raid Luokoucang at the mouth of Luoshui and the Yellow River, and ordered Shan Xiongxin, Wang Bodang, Chai Xiaohe and the three generals to lead 70,000 soldiers and horses to raid Liu Hongji's 30,000 soldiers and horses guarding back to Luocang. …,

With the intention of attacking unprepared, Li Mi devoted all his strength, and 200,000 horses raided Luoyang to return to Luocang and Luokou. Until the time of the attack, the soldiers and horses of Luoyang were completely unaware of the movement of Li Mi's army.

There are 50,000 soldiers and horses in Luokoucang, and 30,000 soldiers and horses in Luocang, which adds up to 80,000 soldiers and horses, and they are still in the city. However, under the surprise attack of Li Mi's 200,000 elite soldiers, it didn't last for half a day, and the city gate was broken. According to the news that came back from the inquiry, when Li Mi's two armies arrived, the soldiers and horses defending the city were less than one-tenth, and most of the defending soldiers were actually gathering to gamble and drink to celebrate the rare easy time in the past year.

Shen Luoyan said in shock, "You said that Luokoucang was also captured by the Wagang army?" ”

Luokou warehouse is the largest granary in the world, with 24 million stone of grain stored at the most, and there are 3,000 kiln warehouses for grain storage, and each kiln stores 8,000 stone of grain. Even if a lot of it was consumed because of Li Miwei's siege of Luoyang, the importance of this Luokou warehouse is still needless to say. Wang Shichong, Duan Da and others were besieged for nearly a year, but they were still able to draw with Li Mi, and even had the strength to send troops to Hedong, and the biggest reliance was that they controlled the three granaries near Luoyang.

No army will be gathered without food, and no city will be defended without food.

When the Wagang Army started, it was by laying down Liyangcang that it gathered large soldiers, and it has now.

Luoyang Cang, the center of the world, the place of the four wars, although it has been besieged for recent years, it still sticks to worry-free, and even the prosperity of Luoyang City is still the same, and the biggest reliance is also the three granaries.

I have just heard that Shan Xiongxin has captured the closest Huiluocang from Luoyang, and if Luokou Cang is defeated again, then there will only be one Heyang Cang left in the three major warehouses of Luoyang City. With the current situation of Luoyang being besieged, and Luoyang's large population and soldiers, if you only rely on a Heyang warehouse, then Li Mi only needs to surround Luoyang without attacking, just trapped can trap Wang Shichong's army, and it won't be long before Luoyang will be self-defeating.

The shopkeeper said worriedly, "The little inquiry is exact, Luokou and Huiluo's two warehouses have indeed been taken away by Li Miquan." Not only that, the 80,000 soldiers and horses of Liangcang City stationed in Luokou and Huiluo, except for a few hundred remnants who escaped, have basically all fallen into the hands of the Wagang army. With the loss of two granaries and 80,000 soldiers and horses, Luoyang no longer has the strength to go out of the city to fight. Before Wang Shichong's troops and horses withdrew to Luoyang from Hedong, Luoyang could only defend and could not fight. At present, except for Yanshi and Bishan are still in the hands of Luoyang, all places outside Luoyang City have been owned by Li Mi. Unexpectedly, the balance of power that had been confronted for nearly a year would be broken all at once. ”

Shen Luoyan couldn't help but nodded, the current situation was changing too fast, making her feel a little incomprehensible.

Wang Shichong took the opportunity to send troops to Hedong, grabbed food from the tiger's mouth, and captured five counties in a row, which also broke the dead situation of Luoyang's film and opened up a favorable situation. As long as he continues to confront Li Mi, with the development of Hedong, it will definitely be Wang Shichong who will win in the end.

But Wang Shi is ruthless, and Li Mi is not simple. A feint attack on Hebei, but returned to Luokou and Luo's second warehouse, and directly annihilated the captured 80,000 soldiers and horses in Luoyang. This heavy blow has been directly inserted into the heart of Luoyang, and Luoyang's peripheral positions have basically lost ninety percent, and suddenly from a balanced confrontation to a passive defense. Now although Wang Shichong has successfully opened up a new situation in Hedong, the foundation of Luoyang has suddenly fallen into a real dead end. The two granaries were lost, and the soldiers and horses were badly damaged, and he either gave up the Hedong counties that he had just worked so hard to capture. Either they can only be pressed by Li Mi, or even taken away by Li Mi step by step.

Seeing the current situation, Shen Luoyan already didn't quite understand, was Li Mi killing Zhai Rang a mediocre move? Or did he calculate the situation today, and everything was just a part of his plan this time, and it was his intention? …,

If it's intentional, then this person is already terrible.

"Miss, let's leave the North City, where there is no rebellion. Now that Li Mi has been killed, I am afraid that if we stay any longer, Luoyang will be completely besieged, and then we will not be so easy to leave. ”

Shen Luoyan shook his head, "Li Mi will not come to attack Luoyang for the time being, Luoyang City has high walls, and there is not enough preparation, no matter how much you use human lives to fill it, you can't fill it." Luoyang was built by Yang Guang at the beginning, and at the beginning of the construction, it has been strengthened a lot in defense, and it can be said to be the first city in the world, and there is no one who can do it. Hard attack, as long as there are 100,000 defenders, then even if a million troops come to attack, with the strong city of Luoyang and the advantage of in-depth defense, it will not be able to attack at all. ”

"Is there a city in the world that can't be attacked? Impossible, right? "One humane.

Smiling, Shen Luoyan said, "Of course, there is no city in the world that will not fall, but Luoyang City is indeed not something that can be taken by force." But as long as there are enough soldiers and horses to besiege Luoyang, such a large city and millions of people will not last long. When Luoyang was originally built, there was one of the biggest fatal flaws, that is, when Yang Guang built the eastern capital, it was for the convenience of transportation and storage. The granary of Luoyang was built in the city, not in the city. In the past, when the world was peaceful, it was really convenient to do so, and the three major warehouses of Luokou, Heyang and Huiluo were surrounded on three sides of Luoyang. Even if you use transshipment storage, it will not destroy the layout in Luoyang City. ”

However, perhaps Yang Guang didn't think about it at all, and Luoyang, the center of the world, would also be besieged. Therefore, except for a few small granaries in Luoyang City, all the grain is basically in the three major warehouses outside the city. As long as the city is besieged, several depths on the periphery are lost, and the three granaries fall into the hands of the attacking enemy, then not only will the soldiers and horses besieging the city be supplied with food, but also the food in the city will be completely wiped out. Luoyang is the capital of the world, with millions of soldiers and civilians in the city, and tens of millions of food are spent every day. The daily consumption of the city is a huge number, so the siege plan is more suitable than other cities. ”

Shen Luoyan let out a long sigh, and he didn't know whether he was lamenting the impermanence of the world, or lamenting Wang Shichong's failure and Li Mi's success.

"Li Mi has 500,000 soldiers and horses, if he gets two more granaries, then Li Mi doesn't have to storm the incomparably strong Luoyang City at all. He only had to continue northward, occupy the mountain, and block the Yellow River, separating Wang Shichong's soldiers and horses east of the river from those in Luoyang. Then Luoyang City, which has no food and no soldiers, can't hold on for half a year, and it must only open the city and surrender. If Wang Shichong loses Luoyang, then he can only be the next Li Yuan, trapped and killed in the southeast of the river by various forces, and there is no place to turn over. ”

"Wang Shichong's Jianghuai army is strong and strong, if he gives up the land east of the river and goes south to fight for Luoyang, what will be the result?"

"The result won't change much, if you make a mistake, you lose everything. Wang Shichong's chess pieces in Luoyang are now dead, and if he transfers troops from Hedong to save Luoyang at this time, it will only be more and more dead. In the end, the whole situation will be trapped by this mistake. It is better for the strong man to break his wrist, and when he still has some strength, he retreats from Luoyang to Hedong and goes north to fight for Taiyuan. If Taiyuan can be occupied, there may be a glimmer of life. Blindly entangled in Luoyang is just a dead end. ”

When everyone heard this, they all sighed, and no one thought that Wang Shichong, who seemed to be victorious one moment ago, would have fallen into such a predicament the next moment.

The two granaries of Luokou and Huiluo fell, and 80,000 soldiers and horses were lost. This tragic military situation was sent to Wang Shichong of Hanoi County across the river for the first time, and when the military information was delivered, Wang Shichong was still discussing the next direction with his entourage. …,

When Wang Shichong, who was full of smiles, opened the letter and read it again, his hands and feet were already trembling, dumbfounded, and unable to speak. As if falling into the ice cave all of a sudden, Wang Shichong only felt that his whole body was cold, and he was instantly shocked into a cold sweat.

"This can't be, this can't be, this can't be!" Wang Shichong read it over and over again, and finally roared angrily. He had just tried his best to take the Hedong Prefectures, but before he had time to be happy, his old nest Luoyang was almost killed. Although Luoyang is still in his hands, after losing two granaries and losing 80,000 soldiers and horses, Luoyang has become a piece of chicken ribs.

It's a pity to throw it away, and it's tasteless to eat.

There are less than 100,000 soldiers and horses left in Luoyang City, and all the dangerous depths outside the city have been discarded, and more importantly, there is no grain in the two granaries, how to supply the hundreds of thousands of mouths in the city at this time?

The urgent letter in his hand fell to the ground, and immediately some generals immediately picked it up and watched it, but they didn't look at it twice, and they were all speechless in surprise. Although Wang Shichong's descendants were recruited by Jianghuai, his family was not in Luoyang. But now that Wang Shichong can gain a foothold in the Central Plains, he still relies on the support of those noble families in Luoyang City. Without them, relying on their own 100,000 Jianghuai troops, they can fight again, and where can they fight.

In the Central Plains in February, when the grass grows and the warbler flies, and the willows flutter with the wind, but in Wang Shichong's tent, it is like a cold winter wax moon, and in the ice and frozen ground, everyone is as heavy as water, like an ice cave, and there are bursts of chills in the heart.
