Yuzhou, Luoyang was besieged, the officials who stayed in Yuzhou closed the four gates, and the letters for help were delivered everywhere like snowflakes, including the king of Zhou stationed in Kaifeng.

However, the princes who were divided into seals were basically straw bales, and when they arrived at the place, they only knew the sound of dogs and horses, even if they recruited a group of people, they were also corrupt, and they could do something big, and they showed off their might on weekdays, but when they heard that the Turks had actually killed them, they were almost not scared, so how could they send troops to rescue.

So the king of Zhou not only ordered the defenders of Kaifeng not to have the slightest reckless action, but also all the nearby garrisons were transferred to Kaifeng, so that the villages and counties below completely lost the protection of the army, and the people were panicked, and all ran to Kaifeng.

As for King Zhou? Thinking that so many defenders gathered in Kaifeng, at least it is a difficult bone to gnaw, if he is a Ashina falcon, he will definitely avoid it, because the king of Zhou is consciously safe, and he began to be angry again, and even personally went to the street to rob the people's daughters, making the people complain and become more and more separated from the royal family. All in all, the whole Kaifeng can be described as a miasma, the so-called upper beam is not right and the lower beam is crooked, the king of Zhou is like this, not to mention the people at the bottom, the so-called king of Hades is easy to provoke, and the little ghost is difficult to deal with.

The more suffering, the more people need the comfort of the soul, in such an environment, a woman claims to be the reincarnation of the fire phoenix, is the fire phoenix Niangniang, founded the fire phoenix religion, advocating equal sharing of property for everyone, mutual help is brothers and sisters, the spread speed is fast, there are many believers, and this fire phoenix Niangniang has indeed helped a lot of people from the equal distribution of a lot of food, which makes the name of the fire phoenix Niangniang greater.

If Zhou Shaoyu knew about the existence of such a person, he would definitely be surprised, because it was too much of a coincidence, Chen Shuozhen, wasn't she the Fire Phoenix Society that she founded, but she just claimed to be the Nine Heavens Xuannu and claimed to be the Red Sky Holy Mother.

However, Chen Shuozhen is still staying in Xingwu County, how can he suddenly run away from Kaifeng, it can only be said that there may be another strange woman on the boundary of Daliang.

The Fire Phoenix Sect is connected here in private, and its power is getting bigger and bigger, and with the increase in the number of believers, most of them are poor people, and after a long time, even if there is more food, it is not difficult to imagine how much shock it will cause when there is no food.

However, all this has nothing to do with Zhou Shaoyu, who is far away in the south of Tanzhou, and he doesn't even know about it at all, his intelligence system has not been completely built, and it is probably to listen to the movements of Jingshi Jinling, as for other places, the way to know is limited.

Zhou Shaoyu can not care, but Sun Shouren, who is on the battlefield in Yuzhou, can't not care, according to Sun Shouren's thoughts, even if he didn't count on the combat power of the garrisons in various parts of Yuzhou, as long as the number of people gathered is here, it can play a certain role in restraining it, but unfortunately King Zhou is like a turtle with a shrunken head, and Sun Shouren has no way at all.

As the general of Zhennan, Sun Shouren has a lot of power in his hands, but it is impossible to command a prince. Besides, it is human nature to avoid disasters, and the generals are not stupid, so it is impossible to run to Luoyang to support them knowing that they are not the opponents of the Turks, and it just so happens that the king of Zhou has an order, so he naturally has an excuse not to rescue.

As for the question of where they will go once Luoyang is attacked, what is this, just the character of King Zhou, the ghost will believe that he can defend Kaifeng, and he will definitely slip away, and the big deal is to follow the left and right in the name of protecting the prince.

At this point, Sun Shouren had to completely abandon the plan of the local garrison, and could only rely on the descendants of his own troops in Jingzhou, as well as the border garrison that was later recruited in Bingzhou. Among them, there are many descendants of the army that originally belonged to the Zhenbei General's Mansion, and the combat power is still okay, and the total number is as high as more than 100,000.

However, the problem is that the combat power is okay, and it is still not the opponent of the Turks of the cavalry, not to mention, this time Ashina Falcon invaded the south, but it gathered 300,000 people to control the strings, even if some of them stayed in the state and some plundered everywhere, the number of the army was still far greater than Sun Shouren.

On the other hand, Luoyang City, as a companion capital, has 60,000 soldiers on the surface, but considering the severity of the empty salary, it would be good to have more than 30,000. As for the combat power in it, it is okay not to mention it. It is precisely because of this that King Zhou did not become the King of Yu, and the station is not the reason for Luoyang, so there is no reason to seal the capital into it.

The only thing to be thankful for is that Luoyang City did not choose to surrender in Kaicheng, and perhaps it should not be said that if it weren't for Wei Chengen, the eunuch chief who was stationed in the Luoyang Palace, who was angry, slaughtered more than a dozen civil and military officials who secretly plotted to surrender in Kaicheng, and risked being beheaded, he privately opened the treasury of the palace and took out gold and silver to boost morale and control military power.

Who made the great Confucian Fang Hong get off to a bad start, such a big target was placed there, and later people surrendered, and the burden in his heart was much lower in an instant.

But even so, Sun Shouren still didn't dare to go up directly and hit the hard, this is no different from looking for death, everyone is a cavalry, not to mention, everyone is good at shooting, and Sun Shouren only has 15,000 cavalry, 30,000 archers, and the rest are all foot soldiers, how can they fight.

Everyone knows that dealing with cavalry is to limit the mobility of horses, but there is an open space outside Luoyang City, and there is no way to do it.

On the same day, the siege of the Turkic army was officially opened, accompanied by a large number of bows and arrows suppressed, the Turkic warriors who were known for their bravery rushed to the city wall one after another, but also thanks to the Turks have always lacked the corresponding technology, and the siege equipment created is not very powerful, at least it is useless for the huge fortified city of Luoyang City, and although Fang Hong who rebelled in the past was a great Confucian, he did not understand these things, and the Turks could only attack the city in this primitive way.

Long ladders were erected at the head of the city, so that the almost immobile defenders of the city walls, who were almost suppressed by endless arrows, had to risk the danger of being hit by arrows to counterattack.

Although the Turks suffered heavy casualties, the defenders were not at all uncomfortable because of the rain of arrows.

Wei Chengen, who was not young and had gray hair, was wearing a python robe given by the emperor, his thin body stood straight, and the long sword in his hand was even stained with blood, of course this is not Turkic, in the end, he is old, even if he has the intention to kill the enemy, he has no power to do it, the blood stains on this sword are just a few deserters who tried to escape.

On the left and right, they are all dressed as eunuchs, each holding a long sword and a big sword, forming a different team of overseers.

Wei Chengen knew that even if there was a 1 in 10,000 chance that Luoyang City could be defended, the royal treasury could be opened privately, the military and politics would be interfered with as eunuchs, and even the eunuchs would be condemned by those hypocrites in the court.

Even if Wei Chengen has a reason, even if he has made great contributions to Luoyang.

This is useless, because for officials and scholars, this case cannot be opened, and if it is opened, it will be like a flood bursting its levees, and it must be severely punished and set an example. They wouldn't be happy with the rise of a group of eunuchs around them, even if it was just surveillance.

However, Wei Chengen does not regret it, as a eunuch, as an orphan, the Wei family has long been cut off from the bloodline, from the age of five to the palace, so far seventy-three years, Wei Chengen has seen too many ups and downs of the ebb and flow, and has served one emperor after another, he is trusted by every emperor, and he has already put all his thoughts on loyalty.

The first emperor died, and Wei Chengen volunteered to go to guard the imperial mausoleum on the grounds of old age, but the empress dowager Gao Yuyao recognized his hard work and sent him to Luoyang as the chief administrator to take care of his life.

I thought that this life had passed like this, but looking back on my life, it was not in vain. But I really didn't expect that in the hinterland of the Central Plains, there would be a day when the Turks would come over.

The majestic Luoyang Palace represents the royal family, representing the authority of the royal family, as a diehard loyalist of the royal family, Wei Chengen will never let this place be desecrated by the Turks, and it is best to keep it, if it really can't be kept......

"Someone's ......!" Wei Chengen was hoarse and turned to look at the palace in the city. "Send the order, all men between the ages of fourteen and forty-five in the city will be recruited and obey the arrangement, and if anyone does not obey, they will be killed!"

The battle situation in Luoyang City was fierce, and the head of the city was killed by the Turks several times, and it was easy to suppress it, and the city walls were full of dead corpses.

Sun Shouren led the army towards Luoyang, but after fifty or sixty miles, he set up camp far away, set up fences and ditches to keep away horses, and dug countless horse pits. Dayou has built the camp into an impregnable appearance. It's not that he doesn't want to support, it's that it's useless to rush forward at this time.

Although the ongoing battle of Luoyang was tragic, the Turkic army still had residual strength, and only a small part of the first wave of siege were Turks, and more were the Liang people and even descendants who had been enslaved by the Turks for many years.

If you want to solve the power of Luoyang, you can only find another way.

"So in your opinion, if Sun Shouren wants to save Luoyang, what should he do?" On the main seat, Zhou Shaoyu couldn't help but ask.

received the latest situation in Yuzhou, and Zhou Shaoyu's side, through the special contact ability of Xiao Qiao, secretly met with Li Xiuning and other military generals. It is impossible not to pay attention to this matter, whether it is Sun Shouren's success in saving Luoyang, or Ashina Falcon taking Luoyang, it will cause a series of impacts.

Li Xiuning sat motionless in his position, his eyes closed and his brows locked, obviously still thinking about it. Yang Miaozhen hugged her chest with one hand, supported her chin with the other, and lowered her head to meditate. Most of the girls here are like this, and it is too difficult to relieve the siege of Luoyang.

"No, no, I don't see any odds of winning anyway." After a while, Lu Lingqi was the first to shake her head, more than 100,000 against more than 200,000, the latter is even better at riding horses and fighting and shooting, except for Luoyang, there is no geographical advantage at all.

And Luoyang City is of great significance, as long as Ashina Falcon is not stupid, it is impossible to give up the attack, in other words, the strategy of diverting the tiger from the mountain will be completely ineffective, because nothing will be more important than capturing Luoyang.

In this way, as long as Ashina Falcon does not divide his troops, Sun Shouren has no choice.

As for directly turning the horse's head to attack the current defensive weak state? Ha, completely useless!

Not to mention that the annexed state is basically abolished now, and it is useless to take it back, not to mention, people Ashina Falcon will not care, after all, if you don't recapture a place, are you a garrison or not?

There are fewer garrisons, it's useless. And more, in the case that the original strength is not superior, the division of troops is undoubtedly looking for death, when the time comes, Ashina Falcon takes Luoyang, turns around and fights for a while, what can be the result except for defeat.

is thinking about it, and Lu Lingqi really can't think of any way.

Immediately afterwards, Liang Hongyu also sighed softly and shook her head, which was regarded as giving up and continuing to waste her brain. Then Gao Xiujun and Yang Miaozhen also gave up one after another. In the end, Li Xiuning and Xin Xianying were still thinking hard.

"Bad boy, don't you have a way?" Yang Miaozhen looked at Zhou Shaoyu with a flat face and couldn't help but be curious.

Well? Zhou Shaoyu turned his head, then sighed, and did not speak, but picked up the pen and ink and wrote down four big characters.

Tzu is not in charge of the army.

The women were puzzled and were about to ask questions, but they saw Li Xiuning and Xin Xianying open their eyes at the same time, the positions of the two were opposite, and they couldn't help but glance at each other. After seeing Zhou Shaoyu's four words, he also sighed.

"Zhou Lang's words are true, if you want to solve the danger of Luoyang, it's not impossible, but the price is huge." Li Xiuning took a deep breath, but her eyes were a little bright.

Once upon a time, Zhou Shaoyu was just a rookie on the battlefield, but now, he obviously thinks of the same method, but it is faster than her speed, I have to say that Zhou Shaoyu's growth rate is surprising. But Zhou Shaoyu also has a fatal flaw, that is, if the consequences are too ruthless, he can't harden his heart enough.

"At least if I am handsome, I will definitely be in a dilemma, but the situation is compelling, and I am afraid that in the end, I can only have to force it." Zhou Shaoyu shook his head, without a choice, what he could do was only to act on the premise of minimal losses.

Luoyang is the capital of the city, but also the ancient capital of the past dynasties, the status is important, and it must not be lost, otherwise not only the people of the world are in an uproar into panic, but Sun Shouren alone is concerned, the loss and the state first, if Luoyang is lost again, even if Gao Yuyao is protected, it may not be able to withstand the pressure from the world.

Save to save, but there is no way to fight hard, at this time, the range of options is too small.

"What the hell is the solution?" Gao Xiujun asked anxiously, as an 'indigenous' girl who was born in the general's door, she has learned the art of war, and she has seen experience in leading soldiers, so she is very curious about how to win this kind of war that you can lose no matter how you think about it.

Zhou Shaoyu smiled and nodded at Xin Xianying, who understood, stood up and arched his hand, walked to the simple map hanging high next to him, stretched out his hand, and said, "The key to this battle is in Luoyang." ”
