Even a person like Wei Xuanzhen who doesn’t have much common sense knows that Qin Shaoyou suddenly withdrew some of his troops and planned to rescue Luoyang, which is somewhat unrealistic.

Marines and wars are not a joke. There are so many people mobilized, not to mention that the troops and horses will move forward before they move food and grass, even if tens of thousands of people march quickly, they will not rush to help so quickly. Moreover, if they move in such a hurry, it will definitely be a waste of troops and horses, and the troops will be in chaos among the troops, but the other party is waiting for work. This is obviously a taboo in military strategists.

"How many people have been transferred?" Wei Xuanzhen's eyes moved and she looked at Zhang Jin.

"I'm afraid there are nearly half of them. According to General Liu's speculation, there should be 80,000 or 90,000 people."

Eighty or 90,000 people...this is almost the same.

If there were 80,000 or 90,000 people, then there would be only 40,000 or 50,000 Wei troops under the city. This number was actually not high. If at this time, the 300,000 elite imperial troops in Hangu Pass attacked, would the 40,000 or 50,000 Wei troops be able to live in a low-end place?

Although the Wei army was brave, the Shence Army was only a few after all. The vast majority of the five barracks, although they were diligent in training, they had never experienced any major battles and their strength was at most comparable to the imperial guards. Even if they were higher, the troops in Hangu Pass were full of troops, and Wei Xuanzhen was sure to win.

It is understandable that Qin Shaoyou wants to defeat more than 100,000 Wei Chen Liang's troops in a short period of time and send 80,000 to 90,000 elite troops to block the attack.

Of course, it is not to say how strong Wei Chenliang's troops are. Although Wei Chenliang seems to have many troops, he is far from being the opponent of Shence Army and the Five Military Camps. But the problem is that everyone is racing against time now. If Qin Shaoyou really wants to block Wei Chenliang, he must make a decision at a lightning momentum, and then quickly return to the army to rescue Hangu Pass. If there are only 30,000 to 40,000 troops, he can barely be on par with Wei Chenliang. However, it is impossible to destroy the entire Wei Chenliang coalition in a short period of time. This force is just the past.

So……

Zhang Jin narrowed his eyes and said, "Taishan, should we attack immediately and defeat the remaining thieves outside the city?"

Wei Xuanzhen was silent.

He couldn't help but say, "Can the thief army save Luoyang?"

"Ah..." Zhang Jin was stunned for a moment: "Qin Shaoyou came out in full swing this time. It seemed a bit strange. Since he was determined to attack Hangu Pass, he would definitely expect that Wei Chenliang would send troops north. Obviously, his previous plan was to take Hangu Pass and go again. But now Wei Chenliang went north, he led his troops to block the attack. In this way, wouldn't he lose sight of one thing? He put himself in a dilemma. Qin Shaoyou has always been extremely cunning. How could such a person make such a big mistake?"

Wei Xuanzhen nodded, the problem is here. Qin Shaoyou was attacked from both sides. Since he had been out of nothing. He wanted to seize Hangu Pass, now that Wei Chenliang had a big fight, he was anxious to rescue him. However, the two sides were hundreds of miles apart, and it was not easy to divide troops to rescue him. Moreover, he also put the troops left here in a dangerous situation. This was obviously a very bad deal.

Zhang Jin said: "Besides, in less than a month's time, Qin Shaoyou's reinforcements may not be able to eat Wei Chenliang in one bite. If Wei Chenliang progressed rapidly, he might even take Luoyang in one fell swoop before Qin Shaoyou's reinforcements arrived. In this case, Qin Shaoyou's rescue may not have much effect, so he felt strange. Did he... set up a suspicion array?"

Therefore, the suspicion array is set up...

Wei Xuanzhen was worried about this. Qin Shaoyou pretended to draw troops to rescue. In fact, this elite soldier was ambushed and waited for the official army in Hangu Pass that Qin Shaoyou was far away, so he attacked decisively, echoing Wei Chenliang and advancing in unison, but in fact he had already ambushed and intercepted halfway. On the surface, he was going to save Luoyang, but in fact his real target was Hangu Pass, annihilated the troops and horses of Hangu Pass in one fell swoop and seize Hangu Pass. In this way, even if there was a problem in Luoyang, he took Hangu Pass and Chang'an City was right in front of him, and there was no barrier to say. Using one Luoyang to exchange for one Chang'an is equivalent to using his fiefdom to exchange for the entire world.

"Yes, I'm worried about this. Perhaps, Qin Shaoyou has been waiting nearby for a long time, waiting for us to come out of seclusion, haha... Qin Shaoyou is very planning. He is exhausted in saving Luoyang. After all, this is a strategy to lure the enemy."

"So, will you continue to wait and see within the pass and hold your troops still?"

"Send more scouts, always be careful. We should keep an eye on Hangu Pass, which is the last barrier in Chang'an and we must not take it lightly."

Zhang Jin bowed: "Affect the order."

The progress of the coalition forces was particularly smooth. After a few days of attack, Xingyang was defeated.

After entering Xingyang City, Wei Chenliang was in a good mood and captured the Luoyang gate. Next, he could drive straight into the hinterland of the bandit army. Now the coalition forces are ready to fight. No one knows that the Guandong area is a fertile land. Not to mention the fertile land, these are all empty. The most important thing is that compared with other places, this place is full of gold, and a state of wealth is as rich as a country. Before, everyone refused to act as a pioneer and had little thoughts, but now many people regret it.

Whoever attacks Henan Prefecture first means that whoever can seize the great wealth that day. This is not as simple as millions of chunks of money and grain. Some people even estimate that this number is even a hundred times or a thousand times based on this.

Ordinary people are rich and rich, and they may not be able to eat them in a few lifetimes, but the wealth here is tens of billions, which is enough to make anyone a rich man.

Wei Chenliang followed the situation and issued a military order to seize Luoyang and allow the robbery for three days. The coalition inside and outside the coalition forces were cheering and everyone's eyes were red. Everyone understood that if they really entered Luoyang, they would have no worries from now on.

It does not require too much morale encouragement or any inflammatory words. Three days of robbery are enough to make everyone desperate.

More than 100,000 coalition forces have gathered in Xingyang one after another, and then they began to rush towards Henan Prefecture.

After traveling dozens of miles, I set up a camp here that night.

The only thing that made Wei Chenliang unhappy was that he originally thought that there was a place to rob the way, at least a small town, but there were some small towns and many markets were seen. Unexpectedly, he rushed to kill him, but there was no one in the figure, and there was no trace of people and animals. The wheat in the field was ripe. But after all, his army was not here to harvest wheat, and it was crazy to delay so much effort to harvest the grain.

He was a little unbelievable about this.

In just under ten days, so many people and animals have been transferred. Do these people from the Shence Mansion have three heads and six arms?

This kind of evacuation was obviously not something he could understand. After all, in this relatively loose era, it was difficult for the government to master even below the county level. Almost the local government relied on autonomy entirely. The so-called autonomy seemed quite high-end, but in a certain way, autonomy in this era was almost equivalent to letting everyone eat and live a life of life and wait for death. When encountering anything, the government could hardly achieve anything. The only thing that could be done was to barely build bridges, pave roads, and manage litigation with the support of local gentry. No matter how many, there would be nothing left.

Shence Mansion and the previous government governments are completely different. The responsibilities of the county's institutions have begun to be subdivided continuously, including taxation, education, infrastructure, water conservancy, and commerce. It's all right. Even in the most remote areas, where a farmer planted a lot of acres of land this year, will be counted in detail and appear on the desk of the county envoy.

The reason for this is that on the one hand is the development of productivity. The productivity here is enough to support more officials and enough to give the county more room to do things. On the other hand, it is also because of the prosperity of business that has promoted the prosperity of all industries. The county has to care about many things. Once it is left alone, how dare the merchants come?

This kind of local centralization has led to a surge in efficiency. As early as ten days ago, counties near Luoyang had already begun to strengthen their walls and clear the fields. The counties recruited ships, transferred populations, and transported materials everywhere, and naturally they would never let the enemy troops entering the country take advantage.

Hundreds of officials in the county, together with local defenders and appointed pavilions and village chiefs from all over the country, will have an amazing effect once they move.

Wei Chenliang couldn't understand, and it was understandable, but then, a scout came to the news: "In the northwest direction, a thief army was found."

What……

Wei Chenliang was stunned for a moment.

He was a little treacherous, how could there be a thief army here? It's not a joke. Qin Shaoyou came out in full swing and went to Hangu Pass? There were obviously not many defenders here, and even if there were thousands of people, they were not afraid. But once such an urgent report came, it was obviously not as simple as more than a thousand people. Where did these people come from?

After all, even the Hangu Pass has confirmed the news that Qin Shaoyou led the main force of Chen Jian at Hangu Pass. If Qin Shaoyou really led his army to help, it seems that it is not right. Hangu Pass is far away from here, and it will take at least nearly a month to rescue him. In other words, even if Qin Shaoyou wants to block the coalition forces, it will be twenty days later. Where did these people come from now? (To be continued.)
