102 Luoyang
In Luoyang City, Shen Zhixing was nervously walking back and forth at home, uneasy.
He was originally a side general in the Han army, and he still had thousands of troops under his command. He originally thought that this time he followed Marshal Su Hedaidu to strive for meritorious contributions. With the relationship between the Liu family, he could be promoted to become a general and command the army independently.
However, before leaving, he was replaced and changed to the city gate guard in Luoyang. Shen Zhixing was very disappointed. He didn't know how long he would have to wait for the next opportunity to make contributions. He decided when he would find an opportunity to go back to Taiyuan to meet his benefactor, Mr. Liu, and he had a good talk.
Unexpectedly, just today, someone from the Liu family suddenly found him and asked him to lead his subordinates to open the southern city gate at midnight to welcome the Long Jie army into the city.
He was shocked at that time. When did the Long Jie Army, the current enemy of Menghu, actually have such a large army hidden near Luoyang? He already felt that something might happen to Marshal Su Hedaidu went south this time.
He couldn't help but feel very grateful and admired the Liu family's great efforts. He knew that if the Liu family had not helped, Long Jiejun would not have been able to do this quietly.
Shen Zhixing was the direct descendant of the Liu family in the army. He would never refuse the Liu family's orders, so he immediately prepared and temporarily replaced all the soldiers guarding the city gate with his own confidants, waiting for the arrival of the Midnight period.
Wu Ling Kaicheng was rebelling in the middle of the night, and Shen Zhixing was still very nervous. However, the thousands of Menghu troops left behind in the city were not vigilant and were still drinking and having fun. He was not worried about not being able to succeed. What he was uneasy about was how he successfully gathered other Han troops in Luoyang after the army entered the city, and then followed the Long Jie army to cut off the Hu army and made great contributions.
Shen Zhixing knew that the Liu family asked him to stay in Luoyang not only to open a city gate, but to gain a foothold in the Longjie army.
With the current power of the Long Jie army, Luoyang will be occupied for a long time. Shen Zhixing is already thinking about what to do after conquering Luoyang.
The army was in action at night. Captain Wan, a Hu man who stayed in Luoyang, had been awakened. He was hurriedly sending people to find Han generals to discuss how to defend the city, but unexpectedly, he could not find anyone, so he could only quickly gather thousands of his tribes to prepare to go to the city.
But before he was ready, Long Jie's army had entered the city and rushed to him.
Seeing that it had fallen into his hands, Luoyang City, the ancient capital of the Six Dynasties, Liu Jiahao's tears came down. What an amazing achievement for so many years of fighting against Hu. This was something Liu Jiahao never dreamed of before.
The city was filled with materials, and without Luoyang City, the source of the baggage was cut off. Even if Su Hedai had the ability to dominate the sky, he could only eat dust in front of the Jieshuai.
Liu Jiahao quickly calmed down. He had to quickly pacify the surrounding areas of Luoyang, stare at Su Hedai's logistics army, and find a way to go south to support Jieshuai. Jieshuai is still besieged by Su Hedai's more than 100,000 troops!
Liu Jiahao admired Lin Jianyue again. Not only did he speak of his own strategy, he dared to take risks and dragged Su Hedai's 100,000 troops to Jia County.
Liu Jiahao immediately summoned Zhang Sichang, Wu Yi and others to discuss matters and called Shen Zhixing from Luoyang as well.
Liu Jiahao already knew that Shen Zhixing was from the Liu family and could be trusted. This time, he attacked Luoyang, which was a great contribution and conquered thousands of Han troops. He was very capable.
"Zhang Sima, immediately let the people from the enemy's situation department send a message to the flying pigeons of each army, especially the Tieqinglin in Ru County. The letter must state that he should not act alone. When I am about to arrive near Yangdi, I will come quickly to meet with me. Otherwise, with Su Hedai's power, he will be taken advantage of."
Zhang Sichang was also very busy and was confused. He suddenly took over such a big city and had to learn many things.
"Yes, Liu Zheng. In addition, there are many wealthy gentry in Luoyang City, so I wonder what to do with the planning?"
"Just monitor first. These things can only be handled after the commander of Jie can come. You and I must not act rashly. Let's just marching and fighting."
At this time, Shen Zhixing stepped forward and said, "After the rule of Luoyang is under, the surrounding counties need to be held one by one. I have been in Luoyang for many years and are very familiar with the garrisons in various places. If I believe in the rule, I will lead the Han army to go anyway, and all of them will be smoothed in a short time."
Liu Jiahao smiled and said, "If you don't believe you, why would you ask you to come? Please ask General Shen for this matter. In addition, do you have any suggestions for Su Hedai's logistics army?"
"As far as I know, there are about 30,000 Hu cavalry guarding the baggage line, and nearly 10,000 Han troops. Now without baggage, there is no mission. In addition, the war horses have no fodder, these 30,000 cavalry should not dare to stay near Luoyang. They will definitely suppress the last batch of food and grass to the main force, and will not care about the life and death of the Han army. The commander can first send scouts to check the alert. After holding on for three days, they can lead the army to attack and advance towards Yangdi and recover the city."
Liu Jiahao nodded, thought for a while and said, "The Han army still cannot let it go, otherwise it will be a hidden danger. General Shen, there should be no major problem for you to come forward. Send reliable people to surrender and collect them near Luoyang. If you lead them, do I understand what I mean?"
Liu Jiahao cannot let so many Han troops enter the city. Once the Han generals who were determined to follow Menghu suddenly attacked Luoyang, wouldn’t all their efforts be wasted? Although Shen Zhixing had little problem, it was better to be careful.
Shen Zhixing was overjoyed. Now he had enough troops in his hands and could even form an independent army in the future.
He nodded and said, "After recruiting surrender, I will take them to the nearby county town to identify and rectify. Those who do not follow will have to kill them. By the way, they can gradually clean up the remaining Hu army around them. The commander can keep some people guarding Luoyang and controlling the baggage."
Liu Jiahao decided to keep Zhang Sichang, and Wu Yi led 5,000 people to guard Luoyang. After three days, he led the main force of the Eighth Army to attack and advance towards Yangdi, and joined the Tieqinglin and attacked Su Hedai.
In fact, Liu Jiahao wanted to set out now, because he was really worried about the safety of the commander of the Jieshou. However, the army must take a thorough action. The risk in the wild is too great and may not be able to withstand the counterattack of 30,000 cavalry. If the generals of the Menghu cavalry leader have this courage.
Tieqinglin was overjoyed when he received the urgent news from Liu Jiahao from the enemy's situation department. The big thing was settled and he immediately wanted to send troops to Jia County. However, thinking of what Liu Jiahao said, he knew that this was the fact and could not repeat his elder brother's mistake. Su Hedai's elite cavalry was absolutely eyeing him, and could only wait for Su Hedai to resist.
Tieqinglin couldn't help but sigh. It was still insufficient troops. No, it should be that the Long Jie army has not yet annihilated Su Hedai's strength, and the most important cavalry is far behind. If he had 40,000 or 50,000 troops in his hands, he could survive in the wild for a few days. If the other Long Jie army surrounded him, most of Su Hedai's main force would have to stay, and his life would be much better in the future.
In Luoyang, Su Hedai could not keep it on the northwest road of Jingxi, so he could only retreat eastward. Even if Hao Tianfeng had 80,000 people to block it, he might not be able to withstand it. Unless Su Hedai wanted to take the risk of turning defeat into victory, he would give Long Jie's army a chance. However, with Su Hedai's skill, he would not have made such a choice. Once the cavalry turned into infantry, the entire army would be destroyed.
