On July 13 of the first year of Hongwu, Xiaotianpo outside Luoyang City

The camp of the Dacheng Army was densely packed, and it was only on the second day after the attack that the camp was cleared, and Wang Hongyi immediately carried out a military inspection and declared his prestige.

Even if 20,000 troops broke away from the battle ranks, the 50,000 troops were mobilized, and they still lined up one phalanx after another, and the banners could not be seen at a glance.

The battalions, which stretched for fifteen miles, could not come out in a single arrangement, but took the form of patrolling troops.

When the time came, the cannons rang out nine times and the drums played loudly.

Although it is simple in the army, it still leads the way with eight Chinese buildings, and takes the banner and stick festival as the middle, and in the middle is a place to ride the public opinion, and the dragon flag is held high on the left and right.

This is a trolley with a railing, and a person sits on the big seat in the middle.

Wang Hongyi was wearing a regular imperial crown at this time, with six chapters of the sun, moon, stars, mountains, dragons, and Chinese insects painted on the top, and six chapters embroidered on the bottom, including algae, fire, powdered rice, Zongyi, meal, and Zhen, a total of 12 chapters, and 12 crowns on the top.

Wang Hongyi's eyes are like paint, his face is like a full moon, and there are elite guards on the left and right, as well as a majestic and solemn general, followed by a large number of officials.

Chengdian slowly marched forward, the wind blew the sound of dragon flag hunting left and right, and in this moment, the camp passed, all the soldiers knelt down, and shouted like a mountain and a sea collapse: "Long live my emperor, long live, long live!"

This overwhelming "long live" sound was higher than wave, and suddenly, in Wang Hongyi's ding, the white gas was dense, emitting a water light, rippling the void.

This emperor's qi is thin, but he can control the seven colors, and the red and yellow fortune of the world in the distance, when he was ordered, suddenly let out the sound of the waves of Futian, and the whole camp was suppressed with an indescribable majesty, and the Dacheng army who shouted long live trembled unconsciously.

However, this is how the dragon qi is taken from the military and the people, and it is used to control the military and the people.

Chengyu continued to move forward to the next camp, Wang Hongyi smiled and experienced the boiling luck that was affected and shrouded in the sound of long live.

The Dacheng Dynasty has Shu, Jing, Jiao, Yang, Yu, Xu, and Gon, and has mastered most of the world's luck, and he is now the only emperor, Wang Hongyi feels that he has the capital to fight.

Right now, sitting on the throne and looking down at the soldiers and civilians, he got up and saluted with his hands flat.

Seeing the emperor's return salute, Dachengjun suddenly shouted even more: "Long live my emperor, long live long live!"

In the chanting of hooray, some of the demoralization caused by the sneak attack disappeared in an instant.

It wasn't until the army finished the inspection and returned to the middle camp that it was close to dusk, when the body was numb, and he ordered: "Descend to the public and take a few steps to loosen the bones." ”

The guards immediately passed the decree, but at this time it was only a few hundred meters, and the officials who followed the Secret Pavilion, led by Zhao Yuanjing, guarded the camp, and when they saw the imperial opinion falling, they hurriedly came over to give a salute.

Wang Hongyi waved his hand to Zhao Yuanjing and went inside.

When I arrived at the tent, my smile narrowed, revealing a tired color, fifteen miles of inspection, in fact, very tired, but this is the responsibility of being an emperor.

Someone served tea, and then on the sticky spot.

Wang Hongyi was so hungry that he used a few pieces of tea before putting it down and asking, "Are the specific losses in the army coming out now?"

"Your Majesty, our army has killed 6,841 people in battle, and 957 people are seriously injured, and it seems that it is difficult to fully recover, and the remaining 13,000 can be treated, and 10,000 can be recovered and returned to the army. ”

"The head of the Hu people is two thousand eight hundred and seventy-one, and the captives are seven hundred and forty intact horses, four hundred and fifty wounded horses can be treated, and another thousand are seriously wounded or dead, so they have to be killed and used for meat. ”

"There is some loss of grain and grass in the army, but it is not big, and the grain and grass carried alone can be used for half a month in the whole army. ”

"What about the generals Qu Fu, Chu Zhen, and Zhao Zhan,... General He Yi has been treated. ”

Wang Hongyi pondered and paced slowly.

At this time, everyone lowered their hands and said nothing.

After pacing for a long time, Wang Hongyi made up his mind, and with a cold smile, he said slowly: "I don't want the Hu people to be so bold and attack me at night with Luoyang, but this is also the way to die." ”

"Since the main force is in Luoyang and Baima Harbor, they are all driving people to fight, and they are all empty city plans, but they have restrained my two sailors, so that the Hu people can still cross the Yellow River from Liusun!"

"But even so, we've reached our limits. ”

When Wang Hongyi said this, his thinking was already clear, and he asked: "Can we still go out to contact?"

"Your Majesty, the Hu cavalry is sharp, and our army is short of horses, so I am afraid that it will be difficult to go out for help. However, carrier pigeons can be transmitted. Zhao Yuanjing said.

"The decree was passed on, and the sailors immediately dispatched troops to seal the waters around Luoyang and destroy Liusun Port. ”

"Passing the decree, Fan Liuhai immediately arrived at the tiger prison, and I wanted to catch the turtle in the urn. ”

After a pause, Wang Hongyi said dissatisfiedly: "The Thirteenth Division is a big dereliction of duty this time, and the truth has not been ascertained until now. ”

The time was delayed until the early hours of the morning

The moon hung high in the dark dark sky, the moonlight sprinkled down, a thin mist on the water, and the waves crashed against the rocks again and again, so clear in the silent night.

In a remote place on the water to the southwest, a small boat came quickly.

"Come ashore", the man led by Peng went ashore, patrolled left and right, waved at Wang, and suddenly several black shadows rushed up, and as soon as he got ashore, he went towards the stronghold.

"Who?" approached, and someone was drinking.

"The Thirteenth Division was ordered to do the work and asked to see the two Grand Governors. Immediately he shouted, and the token appeared, and the token glittered in the moonlight.

A military barracks

"Governor, your breakfast. The door was pushed open, and a soldier placed a plate of food on the table.

Lu Suhai, who got up, sat in front of the desk and used it slowly.

In the past few days, the Hu people have been restrained in Baima Port, and after a large number of impeachment drugs are ready, I feel that there is not much difficulty in defending the city, of course, this is due to the pacification of Gunzhou, even if the Hu people capture Baima Port, it is meaningless, because as soon as Gunzhou is leveled, Guandu Port has become Dacheng's stronghold.

Lu Suhai pondered the meaning of this battle, and was thinking about it, when suddenly, a knock on the door interrupted his eating.

"What's the matter?"

"The Metropolitan Governor, the thirteen divisions and hundreds of households rushed to ask for a meeting, saying that there was a major report. ”

"Let him in. ”

"No. ”

The door was pushed open, and a person walked in front of Lu Suhai, knelt down on one knee and said, "Governor, I have important information to tell Yiyi that in Baima Port, the camp is empty, and the Hu army does not know where to go. ”

Lu Suhai's smile immediately froze, and he didn't know what he meant for a while, but after a few seconds, he woke up, only to feel that the blood all over his body was rushing upward, and his eardrums suddenly rattled......

Lu Suhai stood up violently, staring at the people in front of him, these thirteen Si Baihu were wet, his face was white, and he looked very haggard and tired, he stared for a moment, and spit out a few words from between his teeth: "Really?"

"Yes, the Metropolitan Governor, we sacrificed a lot of people, only to know that the original camp was empty, only about 5,000 Hu people were there, everything else had been transferred, and the main force did not know where to go. ”

Lu Suhai was stunned for a moment, his face was snow-white, but he had been the governor of Dadu for many years, and he had undergone a big change, and after a while, he came to his senses, strode out, and walked towards a camp.

This is the camp of the Grand Governor Zheng Pingyuan, and when he reached the gate, he hurried forward without waiting for the report.

Zheng Pingyuan was getting up, and when he heard who was coming, he immediately came out to greet him: "Governor Lu, why are you so early?"

But as soon as he saw Lu Suhai's blue face, a sense of foreboding suddenly rose, and before he had time to change his mind, he saw Lu Suhai's face blue and ordered: "You all stand down, I have something to discuss with the Metropolitan Governor." ”

The pro-soldiers couldn't help but look at each other, Zheng Pingyuan waved his hand and let them retreat, and when he saw that the pro-soldiers had just gone down, Lu Suhai said: "The Thirteen Divisions have verified that we have withdrawn one by one in the face of the main force of the Hu Battalion and now we don't know where to go!"

After Zheng Pingyuan heard this, his body trembled.

This is a catastrophe, the emperor's purpose in sending two fleets is to contain the Hu people, but unconsciously, the main force of the Hu people is transferred and missing, and the two are still in the dark!

This matter can be big or small, if this main force of the Hu people does something that plores the sky, both of them will fall on themselves with a catastrophe.

When he looked at Lu Suhai, he found that he had the same expression on his face, and he was all pale.

"You and I need to talk about it in detail!"

That's exactly what I mean. ”

After a while, both of them had something on their minds.

At this time, it was very quiet outside, the rustle of the soldiers patrolling could be heard in the house, the wind blew the paper drum on the window, Zheng Pingyuan's eyes were beating faintly, and he said for a long time: "Governor, I think that we must first find out where the main force of the Hu people is going, and the most likely destination is Sun Liugang and Mengjin Port in Luoyang." ”

Speaking of this, the tone was grim, even chilly.

Lu Suhai muttered: "Luoyang, the emperor has also gone to Luoyang......."

Speaking of which, both of them were shivering, and they didn't dare to think about it anymore, if the emperor met Hu Jun, it would .......

"You and I both know that this matter can be big or small, now that things are like this, there is no return, the emperor is blessed, there will be no problems, but we can't just wait, I think, in addition to the above matter, we must also make some great efforts to make up for it. ”

Under the imperial system, this is the case, even if the emperor is fine, this negligence leads to the emperor in distress, which is a big crime, and the person who hangs can be killed and robbed of his home!

Previous merits, in this kind of thing, it is difficult to have much of an offsetting effect.

"You're right, that's the way it can be. Lu Suhai's face was cold and frosty: "Even the Hu camp opposite Baima Port has only 5,000 Hu people, and although our sailors are not good at land warfare, they also have 50,000, can't they be annihilated." ”

"Yes, what the Metropolitan Governor said is that we must take the initiative to attack and destroy it in one fell swoop, so that we can have some leeway in the face of the imperial court in the future. Zheng Pingyuan said that whenever he needed to make a decision, Zheng Pingyuan would hand over the initiative to Lu Suhai.

This is not to evade responsibility, he is also the governor of the water division, and his slight concession is a kind of self-preservation.

Everything was agreed, and the two went out, and immediately made a deployment, and at the same time there were carrier pigeons, carrying letters, flying up from the water and flying in the direction of Gunzhou
