150. Start all over again
The news of the Yulin Army entering the city shocked the whole city.
Zhu Yu originally wanted to stabilize the military and people's hearts in Luoyang and let everyone know that reinforcements came to Chang'an, and Luoyang City was as solid as a rock. Unexpectedly, this matter changed its flavor as it spread. For a moment, the streets and alleys were talking, saying that Chang'an City had changed its owner, and the little emperor of cattle sent someone to take over Luoyang.
When this team came, they defeated the Youzhou cavalry and killed the generals under the Tongma Emperor. The Grand Sima had promised to go to Chang'an and handed Luoyang over to the little emperor to guard.
"I heard that the cattle-herding emperor is very good. I can't bear to see the people starving and take military rations to provide disaster relief."
"The little emperor is not only kind, but also very capable. He has destroyed hundreds of thousands of troops in Chang'an City."
"It's great now. Luoyang is saved, and I'm no longer afraid of being besieged by anyone!"
Amid the people's discussion, the Yulin Army Chief Shui Captain's troops entered the city.
Wang Hu's command was selected from the various battalions of the Yulin Army. They were all young men of seventeen or eighteen years old. They were all tall and big, with a fierce and fierce spirit. In addition, they were neatly lined up and their slogans were shocking, which made the lifeless Luoyang City suddenly come alive.
Those generals who were not convinced were a little timid when they saw the appearance of the Yulin Army. Judging from this, they were really not comparable to those of them!
No wonder 30,000 people in Luoyang were defeated by the horses of the Youzhou cavalry, and 5,000 people could beat Jing Dan.
After Wang Hu led his army to the East School Field in Luoyang, Ren Shang changed from going up the city wall every day to going to the East School Field every day to watch the Yulin Army practice. He got up early every morning and arrived at the school field on time, and practiced the queue, battle formation and swords with ordinary soldiers.
Anyway, he has nothing to do.
Because of the defeat and the elite of Luoyang were ruined, Ren Shang completely lost favor in front of Zhu Yu. Although he was still a captain, it was based on his father's face, and he had nothing to do with ordinary military affairs.
Seeing that his son was unsuccessful in Luoyang and was obsessed with the Yulin Army, Ren Yanjun said, "It is better to send you back to Chang'an for your father and be a Yulin Lang by Your Majesty. Although you can't be a captain at once, you can have an official position. After a few years and save some credit, you can become a captain. There will always be more opportunities around Your Majesty."
Ren Shang just shook his head, "I want to be Yulin Lang, I will do it in Luoyang, and I won't go to Chang'an."
Wherever you are embarrassed, you will find your face.
A few days later, Ren Shang found Wang Hu, faced the young lieutenant who was several years younger than him, and said, "I would like to be Yulinlang under the lieutenant's lieutenant, and I beg the lieutenant to take it in!"
Wang Hu said: "There is no extra lieutenant position in Changshui Camp. If you want to be a lieutenant, you must start from scratch and be a leader in our army, can you?"
Wang Hu originally rejected him with this, so that he could retreat. Unexpectedly, Ren Shang became the real one and said, "The lieutenant started with the team leader, broke Chang'an, and killed Jingdan, so that he had a high position now. Ren was willing to follow Wang's lieutenant, start from scratch, and lead the team in Changshui Camp!"
Ren Shang's actions shocked the Luoyang military. A lieutenant actually became the lowest-level officer among the group of children. He was simply a shame to the Luoyang soldiers!
Facing his farewell, Grand Marshal Zhu Yu only said, "Young people go to the army to suffer from the hardships of being a soldier, so it's good to have a training experience."
Ren Shang honestly started the team leader. Although he had a house in Luoyang, he ate and lived with them like ordinary soldiers and hang out in the same tent.
The Yulin Langs were still a little distant from him at first. Seeing that he had no airs and was not spoiled, everything was the same as everyone else, so he gradually became closer.
Ren Shang was originally a senior general. Not only did he have good martial arts skills, he also knew how to write and knew how to fight formations. He was used to being a senior military officer, and his vision was different from that of ordinary soldiers. Gradually, not only did his soldiers subdue him, but even the garrison commander valued him very much.
A few days later, Jian Jun called out outside the east gate of Luoyang City, shouting that he would send troops from the city to fight to the death with him. The enemy did not attack the city, but only cursed under the city. A group of soldiers shouted loudly at the city, and all kinds of unpleasant words came out. The soldiers on the city were so angry that they did not dare to go to war against their orders.
Zhu Yu ignored it as usual. Mao continued to be a turtle in the city. He ordered the city to prepare for a powerful crossbow, but he must not open the door. This is Luoyang City's usual operation in the face of challenges. Anyway, the people in the city are huddled in the high walls, and people outside the city cannot attack.
Unexpectedly, Wang Hu took the initiative to ask for battle and wanted to go out of the city to meet the enemy. He said: "The enemy's army is so rampant. If you don't go out, it will probably increase the morale of the enemy and destroy the prestige of our army. The last general is willing to take his troops out of the city to meet the enemy. We must not let the puppet Han army underestimate our Luoyang soldiers!"
Changshui Camp is a guest army in Luoyang, and the guest is as good as the host, so he has become a gangster. Unexpectedly, Wang Hu is so proactive, but instead makes the Luoyang army look too cowardly.
Before Zhu Yu could speak, a general under his command shouted: "The Yulin Army is only 5,000. How capable can it be, it dares to come to Luoyang to grab the vanguard!"
"That's right, are there no one in Luoyang? I underestimate people too much!"
At this time, a captain named Ma jumped out and shouted: "There are 200,000 troops in Luoyang, and there is no need for Chang'an people to stand up. The last general is willing to leave the city to retreat to the enemy and let the Yulin Army see the military power of Luoyang!"
Zhu Yu said: "No need to fight, you two will lead the troops and go out of the city together!"
The two of them rectified the army and left the city. Zhu Yu and others went to the city to watch the battle. They saw that Jian Yan had many soldiers and horses, which were twice as many as their own. Zhu Yu was immediately worried and wanted to increase his troops. He thought of the destruction of 30,000 elite soldiers a few days ago. He was afraid that there would be another mistake, so he forced himself to hold it back.
Anyway, Wang Hu’s five thousand are not his men, so he doesn’t feel sorry for him if he loses them all, and the captain of the horse only has thousands of men, so he will not suffer much loss if he loses.
Captain Ma wanted to show his might and snatch out of the city first, so he lined up and killed him. Although the momentum was very strong, he was a little helpless when facing several times the enemy. He was slowly surrounded by the Jianjun Army. He was about to be annihilated, and Wang Hu led the Yulin Army to force him over step by step.
They did not rush forward at high speed, but instead stood up with long spears, lined up in neat rows, pushing forward step by step.
This seemingly simple tactic is really sharp. As soon as the two armies joined the battle, the Jianjun army retreated one after another. Although the number of people was superior, it seemed that they could not withstand the Yulin Army's troops and could not maintain a stable front.
With the help of Wang Hu, Captain Ma escaped and led his troops to turn around and kill. The two armies joined forces and made a loud sound of killing. Zhu Yu ordered the drums to help the battle, and the shouts of killing on the city were shocking.
This momentum completely overwhelmed the enemy. Jian Ren saw that the situation was not good, so he had to order the withdrawal of troops. The two armies were entangled. The effect was imagined. The one behind was fine, but the one in front was simply escaping.
The Ma Ziwei was so fierce that he wanted to lead his troops to chase him, but the Yulin Army had already stopped and sorted out the formation. Wang Hu even stopped the Ma Ziwei and advised him to return to the city together.
This is a victory, which has strengthened the spirit of the party and damaged the morale of the other party. If you are greedy for victory, if you fall into the trap of the other party, you will win or lose, and it will be unbeautiful.
When he returned to the city, Ma Ziwei changed his arrogance when he left the city and held Wang Hu's hand affectionately. The two of them entered the city with a chat and laughter.
Zhu Yu was shocked in the city. Seeing the Yulin Army with his own eyes was even more shocking than those rumors. While he secretly hated the weak soldiers of Luoyang, he was worried and worried. The five thousand Yulin Army was so powerful. I heard that there were tens of thousands of Yulin Army under the command of the Cattle Herding Emperor, which was definitely a terrifying force.
This fifteen-year-old emperor cannot be underestimated.
This battle was very heart-warming. Luoyang City hadn't been so proud for a long time. The generals were very excited and never mentioned the main army's visiting army again. When they saw Wang Hu, they were all "our Luoyang Army" and had forced the Changshui Captain's headquarters to be the Luoyang garrison.
There is nothing wrong with this. As long as they stay in Luoyang in the future, wouldn’t they be Luoyang troops?
Ren Shang was very excited. Although he was not a commander, but only a small team leader, he also went to fight with the army and tasted the taste of victory that he had not tasted for a long time. He was also awarded a merit for killing an enemy general. If he made another new merit, he would have the chance to be promoted to the chief of the village.
He found the direction of struggle again. Although the starting point was low, he felt extremely at ease and even his sleep was much better than before. When facing the contempt of his good brother Zhu Zili, "a little official with a little sesame and green bean", Ren Shang just smiled slightly without arguing. Zhu Zili couldn't believe it. Is this still the arrogant Captain Ren who never could stand the sarcasm of a sarcasm?
After this battle, the Wu and Han army could no longer surround Luoyang, so Liu Xiu ordered the entire army to retreat and station heavy troops in Chenggao, Yanshi, Gongxian, Qianshi, Luhun and other places to form a semicircular defensive belt on the east side of Luoyang.
The siege of Luoyang was lifted and the two sides returned to the confrontation.
It turned out that the undercurrent of Luoyang City was slowly stabilized. The soldiers put away their messy thoughts and began to think about their status in the new dynasty. Wang Hu became the object of everyone's efforts to make friends.
Zhu Yu was relieved, but she added new troubles. The influence of the little emperor was increasing, and his authority was inevitably weakened. Although there were only 5,000 troops in the Changshui lieutenant, it seemed to have become the backbone of Luoyang. Wang Hu, who was brave and good at fighting, also became the spokesperson for His Majesty the Emperor in Luoyang.
Zhu Yu also had another worry. Ren Yanjun repeatedly urged him to send his son to Chang'an. He refused on the grounds that his eldest son Zhu Zili was sick. Ren Yanjun met Zhu Zili when he first came to Luoyang. At that time, he was alive, so how could he have any sickness?
But now Zhu Zili no longer shows up, only says he is recuperating at home and never meets outsiders. However, Zhu Zili's good brother Ren Shang said that he saw him at home to relieve his boredom.
It seems that Zhu Yu intentionally refuses.
Ren Yanjun's attitude gradually became tough, urging Zhu Zili to set off. Zhu Yu was very worried, but he was afraid of the little emperor in Chang'an and did not dare to refuse.
Zhu Zili had another idea. He saw the style of the Yulin Army with his own eyes and was already impressed. He was eager to become Yulin Lang. However, the Yulin Army in Luoyang was just a lieutenant, and obviously could not hold his big fish. So his only choice was to go to Chang'an and have a lieutenant in the emperor's guards, but his father never let it go.
The solution to this matter was very dramatic. When Ren Yanjun urged Zhu Yu again, Zhu Zili suddenly ran in from outside and shouted: "Father, my illness is cured! I want to be Yulin Lang, I want to go to Chang'an!"
His fierce look made Zhu Yu unable to pretend anymore, so he had to say, "Zi Li, your illness is cured, then follow Shangshu on the road!"
Xin'an City was included in the territory of the Han Dynasty, the barriers in the western part of Luoyang fell into the hands of the little emperor, and the Yulin Army entered Luoyang City. It was even more difficult for Liu Xiu to get Luoyang.
At this point, Hongnong County was pacified, and except for the easternmost part, it was all under the rule of Hongnong Prefect. However, because half of Hongnong County was in Guandong, it was exposed to the military front of Liu Xiu's army. General Nancheng's military farming could only be carried out in a few counties within the Guanxiu.
