On the third day of June in the first year of Hongwu in Chenliu County, in the early summer of June, the streets were cool at night, but the city was quiet and cold.

At dusk, the streets were silent, and soldiers stood at important street intersections, and anyone passing by was bound to be questioned.

Most of them will be dragged away by soldiers for various reasons.

The oppressive atmosphere, on this night, is particularly intense.

The shops and houses of the street were closed with their doors, and only the faint light flowed from the cracks in the doors, and at this time, it was also strange that the sunset reflected the sky in a single field, and from a distance, one suspected that it was the light of the camp fire.

Chen Liu's sky, I'm afraid it's going to change again, right?

The people thought that a few nights before the city was occupied by the Luoyang army, the atmosphere in the city was also so depressing, and this strange situation reappeared in Chen Liu, is there going to be a war again?

No matter what the people thought in their hearts, when it got dark, few idlers came out of the streets.

Those who did not believe in evil and planned to come out to see the excitement were dragged away by the soldiers on charges of meticulous work, and only God knows whether they lived or died, so that now, the people in the city are panicking.

Soldiers patrolled the streets, and night walks were forbidden.

In many deep mansion compounds, there are still many night banquets and gatherings to discuss things.

Chen Liujun, Liu Fu.

In the backyard study, there were several people talking at this time.

Liu Boyan, the owner of the mansion, has a certain influence in Chenliu County, and after the arrival of the Luoyang Army, he still retains his official position as a local gentry.

Liu Boyan sat in the study, took a cup of tea, the faint fragrance of tea was refreshing, and the girl was serving tea to the people here, and withdrew one after another.

The door is closed, and there is someone guarding the outside, so no one will approach here, so you can safely continue to talk about the topic just now.

In the study, in addition to Liu Boyan, the chief bookkeeper of Chenliu County, there is also a master surnamed Wang, a soldier surnamed He, and several officials in the county.

"Everyone, there were a lot of people just now, I'm afraid it's not the purpose of coming here tonight? Now that you are gathered here, and at this time, let's be open and honest about your own thoughts!" Seeing that as soon as he asked about serious matters, several people in front of him fell silent, Liu Boyan stood up and paced back and forth for a moment.

"Why, if you don't want to, then Liu has no choice but to send off guests. At this point, Liu Boyan's eyebrows raised.

The few people sitting in front of him couldn't be silent at this time.

Lord Wang, who had talked a little about the affairs in the county before, slowly spoke at this time: "Lord Liu, since we have come to you, we have important matters, but this matter is related to our lives......

"Lord Wang, if you have something to say, what you said tonight will not be spread out of the house. Seeing that someone finally spoke, Liu Boyan smiled faintly and promised.

In this way, Wang knows everything, and there is no end to what he says. What Wang wants is also what everyone wants, and he also asks Lord Liu to think about it carefully. ”

Liu Boyan said lightly: "This is nature. ”

Wang Zhuji used a deep voice: "Lord Liu, although Chenliu County has not yet been invaded by the flames of war, the news of the other two counties has already been transmitted. ”

"Among the counties in Gunzhou, there were originally only three counties occupied by the national government, in addition to these three places, the five counties were all surrendered to Dacheng, and now the two counties except for Chen were broken by the Dacheng army. ”

"Although the Dacheng army has not yet been forced to Chen Liucheng, it is not far away. Now that the major events in Gunzhou have gone, Chen Liu is afraid that it will be difficult to hold. Several of us are from local families, and we not only have the duty of loyalty, but also the responsibility of protecting the safety of the clan and the people. Since we can't hold it anymore, why don't we think about how we can protect this place from the flames of war......"

“...... Although the Dacheng army has always had the name of benevolence and righteousness, those who stick to it and do not surrender are often punished by the clan and show no mercy, and they really wait until the city is broken to think more, I am afraid that the Chen Liushi family will go to the ten! Lord Liu, you have always had a few thin faces in front of the county guard, and it is really a great merit to persuade the county guard to make plans as soon as possible!"

Liu Boyan listened to him, he couldn't see any expression on his face, he was neither surprised nor approving, and when the king finished remembering, he looked at the few people in front of him: "How many of you, do you think so too?"

Although I don't know what Liu Boyan thinks in his heart, but thinking of the current situation of Chen Liu, these people still gritted their teeth, snapped and saluted, and said: "My lord, there is only one county of Chenliu in Gunzhou now, when the two counties were broken before, Luoyang did not send troops to support, and now there is only Chen Liu, how can the prince of the country send troops over?"

"Chen Liu has neither reinforcements nor a way back now, and the surroundings are occupied by Dacheng soldiers and horses, even if he has some grain and grass, he will not last long. With the Dacheng army attacking, I am afraid that when the army is approaching, within ten days, the county town will be occupied by the Dacheng army. Rather than suffering countless casualties and then returning to Dacheng, it is better to take precautions early, maybe the result will be different......"

"Lord He is not false, the lower officials also think the same, and please Lord Liu, you can persuade the county guard to make plans as soon as possible!"

When Liu Boyan heard this, he finally smiled bitterly: "Do you think that if you persuade the county guard, you will be able to smoothly return to obedience? Don't forget, although the county guard has made meritorious contributions to surrender and has not been dismissed from his official position by Zheng Guogong, but Chen Liujun has an army sent by Luoyang to garrison the county, and there are two generals to assist the county guard in doing things. ”

"Lord Liu, as long as the county guard can work together with us, this matter is fifty percent certain. Don't forget, even if Luoyang sends people here, there are still many things that can't be taken into account in this Chen Liu's place, and the time for them to arrive is still short, how can they really take Chen Liu in their hands?" Seeing that Uncle Liu's words were loose, Wang Zhuji hurriedly persuaded him.

Liu Boyan thought for a moment, and finally nodded: "Liu go and give it a try." ”

An official road, under the sun, a red gushing out of the horizon, this is a continuous army and flags, after a while, the people are much clearer, only to see a phalanx advancing.

These phalanxes, of course, could not be neat on the march, but they remained largely intact, red, like the ocean.

An army of 100,000 stretches for thirty miles, and naturally no one dares to disobey along the way.

At noon, the horn of the army continued to sound, and slowly the army stopped advancing, gathered into one, and became neat and solemn, this is the strong army in the world.

A royal car, surrounded by flagpoles and elite soldiers.

"Jiyang has been pacified, can Chen Liujun have any news delivered?" Wang Hongyi asked.

At this time, wearing armor and majestic, he was surrounded by solemn generals and elite soldiers, and this general and elite soldiers lined with majesty and solemnity.

Anyone can feel the awe inside.

"Your Majesty, there is no news yet. Someone replied respectfully.

"Isn't it coming yet?" Wang Hongyi muttered: "Presumably, it's almost over." ”

Wang Hongyi led an army of 100,000 and had arrived at Chenliu County, and several counties along the way surrendered one after another, without even a single soldier or general.

This is caused by the majesty of the army, and again, there are many internal ghost connections.

Although with the strength of the Dacheng army and the imperial conquest, there is no reason for the county to resist, and even if there is resistance, it is not difficult to break the city, and it is still a good thing to reduce the damage and speed up the time.

Wang Hongyi still praised this, and with such thoughts, the army led by Wang Hongyi gradually approached the county town of Chenliu.

And when he was close to the county seat, the person sent to contact him came to see Wang Hongyi with Chen Liu's map and information about the city.

The map was sent by some people in the city, and the first of them was the county guard.

It's a pity that this county guard has long been stripped of his power by the military attache sent by Luoyang, and he can only control this city with the power of Dacheng.

"Secret passage?" looked away from the map, and a faint smile appeared on Wang Hongyi's face.

There are some people with roots in the county, even if the county guards and officials are hollowed out of power, they can only do things, but there are some things in the city that the Luoyang army does not know.

Yes, although the county guard could not directly surrender the city, such assistance had directly broken through the city's external defenses.

"It seems that even the Thunderbolt doesn't have to be used. With a smile on the corner of his mouth, Wang Hongyi did not have a large army gathered, and commanded a general: "Since this is the case, lead the capital first, enter from the secret road, and wait for good news." ”

This time, there is no need to attack the city, but when the army is approaching, follow the secret passage, sneak into the city, open the city gate, and let the outside army enter the city.

As long as the city gate is opened and the army pours in, even if there are elite soldiers and horses inside, they can win.

In the face of absolute power, there is no point in resisting.

"Yes!"

Wang Hongyi smiled and ordered the army: "Eat immediately, before tonight, rush to the front of the city." ”

During the march, after a moment of simplicity, according to the rules, the army used a marching cake, which was mixed with dried meat, salt, and dregs skin, and was used with water.

Half an hour later, the army marched forward again.

Before night, Guo rushed to the front of the county, and at this time the moon was shining brightly on the earth, and the night sky above the city in the distance was full of red fire.

Faintly visible under the wall, there is the shadow of a soldier.

Wang Hongyi also did not order the camp, he watched from a distance, he was silent, and the army was silent, watching calmly, not moving at all.

Suddenly, there was a continuous burst of guns and gunfire in the city, and everyone was shocked.

The sound of the fire tore through the night sky, and a moment later, the sound of killing was everywhere.

Wang Hongyi watched, smiled, and according to the plan, they all sneaked into the city quietly, and the people from the county guard responded to it, and as soon as the army arrived, they first controlled several important places, opened the city gates, and led the army into the city.

In this way, although the Luoyang army has recalcitrant resistance, it is meaningless in the face of overwhelming force, and now the plan is very smooth, and sure enough, after a while, the city gate is wide open.

"Kill!" the cavalry immediately rushed forward and poured in through the gates, and the general situation was decided.

This victory came so easily, with almost no loss, that Wang Hongyi was in a happy mood, and ordered: "The county town has been lowered, immediately send troops to cross, take it, and tell Baima Port, drag the Hu people, in order to do their best, in a few days, I will send infantry to replace the water division." ”

As soon as Chen Liu's fall, it will be impossible for Guandu Port to resist, and as soon as the general comes forward, he can be forced to surrender, and if he obtains Guandu Port, he can directly transport ammunition and grain and grass to Baima Port, and he can contain more Hu people.

In this way, it is time to go straight to Luoyang. Wang Hongyi thought secretly. ！。 @
