"Oh?"

Duoduo raised his eyebrows, overjoyed, and exclaimed urgently, "Really? Now Zilharang has arrived in Luoyang? ”

"It's true! Lord, we have got the exact news, now we are afraid that Luoyang City is already in the midst of the war, in just one or two days, Prince Zhuang will be able to take Luoyang and point to Kaifeng Mansion! ”

The scout snapped.

Duoduo turned around suddenly, and thought about the map on the wall, from Luoyang, along the Yellow River to the east, only three hundred miles will arrive at Kaifeng Mansion, three hundred miles, if it is a cavalry, in two days, you can reach Kaifeng, Kaifeng Mansion, that is the center of the entire Central Plains, attached to the Yellow River, as long as Kaifeng Mansion is occupied, Xu Yifan's tens of thousands of Tianwei army will be completely under the siege of himself and Jierharang, Jierharang's 100,000 troops, the Daimyo Mansion also has its own 100,000 troops, and the total strength is three times that of Xu Yifan, Moreover, he and Zilharang alone had assembled six banners of Manchurian cavalry, which was a force strong enough to shake any city!

"Haha, since Zierharang has already arrived in Luoyang, what else are we going to fight in Dongchang Mansion? Even if he can't take Dongchang Mansion, the elite of the two yellow flags sent by the regent to clean up Qin Mufeng's lone army is more than enough, Qin Mufeng is dead, of course, the most important thing is that Xu Yifan and his Tianwei army are also dead! ”

Duoduo laughed.

He Luohui and Tan Tai were also happy, Prince Yu said well, as long as Ji'er Harang took Luoyang City, and then sent troops to besiege Kaifeng Mansion, not even waiting for the siege of Kaifeng Mansion, Xu Yifan will not be able to sit still, must return to Kaifeng, once Kaifeng falls, that day the Wei army will be completely encircled, it is difficult to fly, tens of thousands of days of the elite of the Wei Army, this is the most powerful combat power of the Ming Dynasty, if all of them are destroyed in the Weihui Mansion and Kaifeng area, then the Ming Dynasty is at your fingertips, I have to admire the regent's foresight, More than one step above others in terms of knowledge and strategy!

"Lord Wang, are we going to deal with Xu Yifan first, or Qin Mufeng first?"

He Luo would ask.

Duoduo said in a dark voice: "Hehe, naturally I won't let go of both, Aobai, in addition to carrying five thousand Guanning iron cavalry, you will give you five thousand elites to go to Zhending Mansion, this time you must ensure that Qin Mufeng will be destroyed no matter what, Gao Di, you lead three thousand people to guard the ferry of the Grand Canal to prevent the Ming army in Dongchang Mansion from advancing westward to help, and all the rest of the troops, He Luohui, lead 30,000 troops to Puyang, directly into the flank of the Tianwei army, Tan Tai and Wu Sangui, follow me to lead the main force to break into Zhangde Mansion, and prepare to attack Wei Hui!" The order was sent to the prefect of Shunde, and he was given ten days to send all the grain and grass to Zhangde Mansion, otherwise, the king would also kill him all over the house, and there would be no one left! ”

Duoduo's mind was settled, and Zilharang had indeed come to Luoyang Mansion to prepare to launch an attack on Luoyang.

In the eyes of Jilharang and Duoduo, although Luoyang City is an important town in Shaanxi in the west, it is easy to defend and difficult to attack, but now the elite of the Ming Dynasty has been concentrated in the northern part of Henan, and Luoyang City's defense is empty, and it can't withstand Jierharang's attack at all!

However, Jilharang encountered a strong resistance in Luoyang City, and now Jierharang has suffered a lot.

Today's Luoyang City is no longer a metropolis with a population of more than one million, since the Song Dynasty, the Central Plains has been repeatedly war-torn, as the military town of the Central Plains, Luoyang City has borne the brunt, repeatedly suffered from the devastation of war, dilapidated, even a few years ago, it was also broken by Li Zicheng, the population of Luoyang City from two or three hundred thousand in the Chenghua years, reduced to the current 100,000 people.

However, even if the population is only 100,000, the city defense is far less strong than that of Kaifeng Mansion, and Zierharang still encounters strong resistance, not because of how powerful the current prefect of Henan Mansion or the commander below is, but because there is also this prestigious minister here - Chen Qiyu!

Chen Qiyu is an important minister during the Apocalypse and Chongzhen, and he is also one of the few capable ministers above the court, a cadre, a civil and military all-rounder, although the fame is not as good as Hong Chengchou or Lu Xiangsheng, but it is not far behind, the most prominent time, the official to the Dongge University Scholar, the right squire of the military department, and the former governor of Shaanxi, Henan, Shaanxi, Sichuan, Huguang five provinces of military affairs, the power in his hands, directly chasing Hong Chengchou and Yang Sichang, but unfortunately later because of a good heart, did not kill the peasant army, so that the peasant army revived, raged again, and the traitor party in the DPRK and China was framed, was dismissed by Chongzhen, returned to his hometown, his hometown is Henan Mansion, and he once served as the commander of Luoyang County, Henan's right to participate in politics, according to the inspector, political clarity, outstanding reputation in Henan Mansion, is definitely the local premier family.

When Jierharang gave up entering Shanxi in Shanxi, and instead pushed south to prepare to cross the Yellow River, the actions of the Qing army had been discovered by Chen Qiyu, Chen Qiyu did not dare to slack off, and directly found Song Qing, the prefect of Henan Mansion, and asked Song Qing to prepare for war immediately, in case the Qing army entered Luoyang City, after all, Luoyang City is the west gate of Kaifeng Mansion, once Luoyang City is lost, the whole Henan is not defended at all for Jierharang, and it is useless!

When Song Qing was still a child, he once worshiped Chen Qiyu and introduced Chen Qiyu as a teacher, and he respected this teacher very much, and now he heard the teacher say that the Qing army is very likely to attack Henan Mansion, and the troops will send Luoyang, and his face is scared green!

"Teacher, this, this, all the population of our Luoyang City is now added together, and it is only 100,000 people, I heard that Jierharang's army is full of 100,000 people, and the soldiers are strong, and even Sun Zhixiu's Qin army has been defeated in Shanxi, and the officers and soldiers of our Luoyang City guard are only three or four thousand people together, how can we hold Luoyang City?"

Song Qing shouted urgently.

"If you can't keep it, you have to keep it!"

Chen Qiyu shouted: "Don't forget, you are still a courtier of the Ming Dynasty, and it is not as simple as changing the dynasty, if it is Li Zicheng attacking the city, you are willing to fight and surrender, I Chen Qiyu don't care about you, they are all descendants of Yan and Huang, and we Han people are the masters of the house, but if it is the Qing army attacking the city, you have to see clearly, those are all foreign races, the Qing army has entered the fortress several times, and each time it is more serious than the disaster, the population killed by them and the population looted by them have exceeded two or three million, once they occupy Henan Mansion, The whole of Henan will suffer, these are our fathers and fellow villagers, can you bear to watch them be ravaged? How can you bear it! ”

Song Qing was about to suffer, and said in a low voice: "But, teacher, the student is just a civil official, where do you know how to march and fight?" Even if you want to defend it, you can't do it......"

Chen Qiyu said sharply: "If you can't do it, then I'll come, the old man is out of the way, anyway, he is already in his last years, even if he fights this old bone, he must keep Luoyang City!" ”
