Chapter 777: Undercover (5,000 Words Chapter)
Sun Shouren was a little confused, where did that Fire Phoenix Niangniang come from to be so bold that she dared to send troops to Luoyang.
Even if she took a step back, the Great Liang Imperial Court would not do anything, but how could she think that he, Sun Shouren, couldn't stand a Luoyang City? The first battle with the Turks was indeed very badly wounded, and the people of Luoyang City also suffered heavy losses, even the surviving soldiers were very war-weary, and it was not so easy to adjust for a while.
But this is not a reason why Luoyang can't stand it, how can there be tens of thousands of soldiers left, and how many rebels can there be, even if it is claimed that all 100,000 come over? A group of rabble, no matter what, it is impossible to break through Luoyang.
Of course, it is undeniable that Sun Shouren does not have much spare strength to go out of the city and take the initiative to attack. It's okay to defend the city, but if you attack, it is estimated that you can put together a team of thousands of people.
Whether you want to understand it or not, people really came over,
"Fire Phoenix Niangniang, boundless mana, Empress Daping, the world is peaceful......"
Sun Shouren, who was standing at the head of the city, was speechless and looked at the lively scene outside the city, and there was always a sense of child's play.
I saw a huge altar built outside the city, and the fire phoenix Niangniang, who was dressed in a bright yellow robe, stood on it, holding a wooden sword god and chattering not knowing what spell to chant about, spouting fire from time to time, and a lot of small braziers were placed around.
These methods are to deceive the ignorant people, what is the reason, although Sun Shouren has forgotten the specifics, but he probably still remembers some, when he was still young in the early years, he encountered the troupe playing these similar methods, and he made a persecution under the curiosity, what kind of trick is it.
Seeing this scene, Sun Shouren felt that this Lao Shizi Huofeng Niangniang couldn't make big waves, and throughout history, there was no rebel army that relied on tricks and the like to establish a new dynasty instead.
Moreover, there is no one who is called the emperor just after the incident, such a big target, not only the court will stare at it, even if the court is not good, other rebels will also star, everyone does not have the courage to call the emperor, you will be the emperor first, who can be comfortable watching it, and even the empress! It's even more uncomfortable.
In short, the defeat of the rebels on this road is a matter of time, and it should not be too far off.
It was already an exaggeration to call the emperor before, but the court happened to be involved in matters of interest, and did not choose to encircle and suppress it at the first time. The traitor Fang Hong's family is now being beaten hard, and the reason why Gao Yuyao is happy is also because most of this department is dominated by the emperor's faction, and has always advocated that the government should be supplemented by civil officials, and the emperor will return to power after he grows up.
Don't look at Gao Yuyao's dishonest slaughter before, but how can this be slaughtered, can't you always find some miscellaneous reasons to slaughter people and raid the house, now it's just taking advantage of the situation to suppress and win over a group of people to promote a group, compared to it, Huofeng Niangniang is called the emperor or something, but it is not so important, anyway, it will be exterminated sooner or later.
In such a situation, Huofeng Niangniang should be very content, otherwise if she changes the period casually, she will definitely be the target of the first time to suppress it, but she never thought that she would dare to take the initiative to send troops to Luoyang.
As a companion capital, Luoyang's geographical location is important, and its political significance is also high, that Huofeng Niangniang has established herself as the emperor, if she occupies Luoyang again, even if it is a big thing, she must first exterminate this rebel army and then talk about anything else. No matter what the final result is, this Fire Phoenix Niangniang will inevitably be destroyed.
Just as Sun Shouren was thinking so, a scout came to report the latest listening information, but Sun Shouren was speechless, and couldn't help but look at the rebels outside the city tower again.
The latest information, the previous batch of rebels raised by the state of Jizhou after being dispersed and transferred to Jizhou, in Jizhou rose rapidly, Jizhou was beaten and broken, and the king of Ji also ran back to Jinling, of course, the consequence was naturally to be stripped of the king, and then put under house arrest for the rest of his life.
At present, the rebel army has won Jizhou, and its ambitions have increased, and the Turks do not dare to provoke it, but they suddenly sent troops to attack Qingzhou, causing the imperial court to transfer the troops stationed in Xuzhou to the north, resulting in a great reduction in the strength of Yuzhou.
Sun Shouren was speechless again, it seems that the second battle of Luoyang still has to rely on himself.
If Sun Shouren's eyes were sharp to a certain extent, he might also find that the Fire Phoenix Niangniang who was still doing the work had a bright yellow cloth belt tied to the position of her eyes, and its thickness was almost the same as that of a blind person, but it did not make her move at all hesitate, and there was never any negligence.
The second battle of Luoyang is imminent, far away in Yunzhou Xiao Jiao is also about to start a war, in a series of separatist layout, the joint forces of resistance have also disintegrated, now most of them have surrendered to protect themselves, except for a very small number of stubborn resistance, it is no longer a climate, just one battle, Xiao Jiao will fully control Yunzhou, then the role of Shuzhou, Yunzhou two places, gradually encroach on Qianzhou, and then with Liangzhou Zhenxi General Mansion to reach a certain alliance, Xiao Jiao's basic power is basically stable.
As for the Empress Dowager Gao Yuyao, who sits firmly in Jinling, there should be no stronger than her, in the end she represents the orthodox court, and the only weakness is that she is not united inside.
However, even if it is the military strength that Gao Yuyao developed later, it cannot be underestimated, God knows where she got so much money to support the army, she can't always copy the minister's house.
However, the number of troops does not mean that it must be strong, if any dynasty has been peaceful for too long, the decline in combat power is inevitable, not only because there has been no war, but also because of the changes in officials at all levels, Gao Yuyao is also a person, in the increasingly declining environment, there is no way to do it for a lot of time, it is not that who promotes whom, who will definitely live up to expectations, and if it is not good, it will raise a waste army out, and eat empty salaries, after all, this has become the mainstream.
If it is in Jinling, it is better to say, even if there is resistance, Gao Yuyao can go and see it in person, but what about the army that is no longer in Jinling?
It remains to be verified how powerful it is, but in terms of quantity, it is enough to make everyone look at it sideways, even before Gao Yuyao expanded his army, there were 200,000 troops in the Beijing Division alone, not to mention that there were other large areas.
Then Gao Yuyao rebuilt the palace four guards, each guard 25,000 people, a total of 100,000, directly obeyed the emperor's orders, in view of the emperor's young age, now under the control of the queen mother Gao Yuyao. In addition, Xuzhou also sent cronies to form an army, in short, just listening to the number is the existence that does not want to provoke.
Think about how many troops Zhou Shaoyu has now? Twenty thousand died.
Zhou Shaoyu occupies the two counties of Chenghui and Tanzhou, raising nearly 20,000 soldiers in total, while Tanwangfu occupies Tanzhou and also raises 20,000 soldiers, which is almost the limit, after all, it is not a big state, a big state, a state can have more than a dozen counties, and the population density is also much larger, and Tanzhou, even if Xingwu County and Wu County are counted, there are only seven counties.
Considering that there will be casualties in the war between the two sides at that time, it is very likely that after Zhou Shaoyu occupies Tanzhou again, the number of troops will grow to 30,000 to 35,000 at most, if there is more, not to mention whether there is spare money to raise, the population alone is already limited, and all the strong men cannot be withdrawn, which is no different from killing chickens and taking eggs.
This shows how terrifying the number of this army on the side of the imperial court is. If you really want to make it up, now you only directly control half of the country's beams, and it is not a problem to make up an army of one million, but it can't be counted like this.
Because he first arrived in Bingzhou, and his territory was rooted in Jincheng, Zhou Shaoyu naturally had not established an intelligence system, and the news that could be heard at present was all heard from Ainur.
Hearing that Luoyang is going to be beaten again, I can't laugh or cry, as for the rebels who are in Jizhou to attack Qingzhou, it is admirable, if there is no Gao Yuyao's appearance, the imperial court is still directly in charge of all parties, under the successive natural and man-made disasters, the imperial court will definitely be dragged down by all kinds, not to mention that there is still strength to form a new army.
At this point, Gao Yuyao does have the courage, willing to directly throw out half of the country, and then shrink up to seek development, although it may not be able to turn the tide and revive the beam, but at least it can continue the luck of the beam for a period of time.
In short, if you don't leave half of the country, the Great Liang Imperial Court, which has been dragged down by all kinds, basically has nothing to watch, but now it is different, after several expansions, its number Zhou Shaoyu looks at it and has a headache, no matter what, it is not something that can be provoked now, and the partial people have this courage.
At best, this move can consume the troops, financial and material resources of the Liang court, but at worst......
What was most lacking in the imperial army? It's nothing more than a lack of experience, whether it's the old army or the new army, basically they haven't fought, they make such a fuss, they can't succeed if they don't want to, and if they fight more, an elite will naturally fight.
According to the experience of occupying Chenghuizhou, whether it is Zhou Shaoyu or Li Xiuning, they don't care about fighting more with less, no matter how much there is a rabble, no matter how much the rabble is, but if they meet the elite, then no one will be willing to fight more with less.
As far as the previous Xingwu Army is concerned, if it weren't for the incompetence of the generals, plus Zhou Shaoyu almost bought out the armaments of the Xingwu Army, how could he swallow it so easily, think about the battle of Zhuzhu County at that time, it was almost defeated.
It's a pity that no matter how turbulent the world is now, it is not something that Zhou Shaoyu can mix, at most, it is to pay more attention, and then pay attention to it, and go back and find a way to solve it.
No matter how you fight in Jizhou Qingzhou, it has nothing to do with Zhou Shaoyu, but in Luoyang, considering the distance, it is difficult not to pay attention.
"I'm going to go to Luoyang to see for myself." Zhou Shaoyu thought about it and said amazingly.
Because of the special environment, Zhou Shaoyu did not copy the set in Chenghuizhou, but directly implemented strict military rule, in the end there are only more than 20,000 people, if the military and government are separated, how many people can be recruited, and even if an agreement is reached with Ainur, it seems to everyone that this place is still dominated by Turks, which will make people feel very insecure.
In this case, the unification of military management, the training of the whole people, and the peasants and soldiers, if you insist on saying it, it is a bit biased towards the military household system of the Ming Dynasty in Chinese history, in short, it is necessary to unite these desperate and numb people as soon as possible.
Now that he has made a start, he has laid out certain systems and goals, and he has a detailed plan, in this case, Zhou Zaixing can cope with it, and Zhou Shaoyu will not leave for too long anyway.
"To Luoyang?" Ainur glanced at Zhou Shaoyu strangely, and said in his heart that there is nothing to see about people fighting, and what news is waiting for the spies to report is not the same.
Zhou Shaoyu smiled, nodded and didn't explain much.
Ainul raised her eyebrows, and her intuition told her that Zhou Shaoyu must be preparing to do something, but she couldn't guess it, so she showed her face and said with a smile: "Why don't I accompany you to take a look?" ”
"What are you going to do?" Zhou Shaoyu waved his hand. "If you're not there, who can restrain those reckless men under your hands, and it's not a good thing to have a conflict with my people at that time."
Perfunctory, Ainul didn't believe that this was the real reason, but he couldn't deny Zhou Shaoyu's statement, not to mention that she was gone, even here, it was not easy to restrain her.
Before Zhou Shaoyu left, the latest issue of the collection of Shanhuai poems was sent over, which used a large piece to describe what Zhou Shaoyu was doing at the moment, to avoid being misunderstood Zhou Shaoyu defected to the Turks at the same time, it can be regarded as to establish Zhou Shaoyu's tall and majestic image, the best result is to attract some bold and righteous people of insight to go to Bingzhou. It's great to be able to gain the loyalty of some people.,Can't it always be all the girls in charge.。
The writing of the article is extremely sophisticated, and it is very sensational, Zhou Shaoyu stands on the paper with an awe-inspiring image of worrying about the country and the people, no one doubts that this is fake, the most obvious reason is that all of Zhou Shaoyu's relatives and dependents are all staying in Tanzhou, and Shanhuai Pavilion is still doing good deeds, with the spread of this issue of Shanhuai Pavilion poetry collection, Zhou Shaoyu has gained great fame and prestige, and many scholars and scholars around the country have threatened to follow Zhou Shaoyu, but the real ones that can be formed are a few after all, but it is better than nothing, isn't it,
Even so, it doesn't mean that you will come here, at least it will take time, so Zhou Shaoyu can go to Luoyang with confidence, if it is later, everyone will rush to run away, but Zhou Shaoyu is not there!
A group of more than ten horsemen, fast horses and whips rushed to Luoyang, and at this time the army of the Empress Daping of Huofeng Niangniang has been besieging Luoyang for more than ten days, and the surrounding villages and counties are all occupied, during which Sun Shouren once led a group of 5,000 men and horses out of the city to attack at night, but he really underestimated the strength of this rebel army, and left half of the men and horses to retreat to the city in a hurry, which was also a rare defeat for Sun Shouren.
This is indeed a rabble all the time, but it can't stand the belief that people have now, well, it's the Fire Phoenix Sect, once on the battlefield, there is such an invulnerability even if you die, you can ascend to the consciousness of the heavenly immortal realm, in short, it is to use the power of religion to fool the people, so that everyone feels invincible!
Just kidding, is it really a joke when people are Huofeng Niangniang's daily practices? That's to ask for divine blessings for everyone and gain invulnerability. What the? No? That's that you're not religious enough!
Well, that's kind of what it means.
The first time Sun Shouren encountered this situation, he was unprepared and thought it was a group of spicy chickens, but the result was naturally miserable.
As for why Zhou Shaoyu knows......
"Your Majesty, at present, the grain and grass of our army can still be eaten by the army for twenty days, and the grain and grass collected from the counties are on the way to be transported, and they can be eaten for about ten days, in addition, the method of camping has been handed down in many ways, and all the trenches and horse fences have been re-established in accordance with the regulations, and the various military camps are also in order, no longer as messy as they were at the beginning, and there are ......"
Zhou Shaoyu was dressed in a white robe, holding a feather fan, and as soon as he arched his hand, the affairs of the army came as soon as he opened his mouth, and he didn't have to worry about it at all.
A few days ago, Zhou Shaoyu claimed to be the descendant of the Zhang family who fell in the previous dynasty, this Zhang family is not only in decline, because of hostility with the beam, the final end is not very good, in short, Zhou Shaoyu said that after the establishment of the Liang, the Zhang family has been living in seclusion, if the storm is surging again, he picks and chooses, and finally decides to come over to assist Huofeng Niangniang.
It's just a fool, why do you fancy her, why are you willing to assist her Yunyun, just make it up, I originally planned to investigate Zhou Shaoyu a little more, but the talent and learning displayed were immediately shocking. No matter where he goes, Zhou Shaoyu opened his mouth to criticize, it's not right here, it's not good there, how it should be, it makes people unreasonable.
I had the attitude of giving it a try and changed it according to Zhou Shaoyu's proposal, and the result was naturally gratifying, I can only say that I am a real talent!
"The ovary is talented, and I am so fortunate to have the help of the ovary." Huofeng Niangniang, that is, the Empress of Daping, was very pleased, and was very satisfied with the admiration, but the cloth belt that had been blindfolded was more eye-catching, I don't know if it was really blind, or it was on purpose, but judging from the behavior of the empress's sword, she was definitely a very insecure woman.
"Your Majesty knows how to make good use of it and adopts suggestions, and such a master should be a blessing to be humble." Zhou Shaoyu immediately slapped a horse back.
That's right, Zhou Shaoyu, a stinky and shameless person, completely changed his name and surname this time, and actually changed his name Zhang Liang to the ovary, and he was drunk when he thought about it.
As for why there was a sudden move to self-recommend into this camp, it is also a bit of a mistake. Don't look at Zhou Shaoyu's appearance that he has gained a lot of trust in a short period of time, but in fact, Zhou Shaoyu has no bottom, and always feels that this empress, who has always blindfolded herself, has a strange ability, as if she can detect whether others are sincere or not, which makes people feel uneasy.
