Yuchijiong himself was ready to die, but he couldn't bear to let his soldiers die with him, he always wanted to give everyone a hope of breaking out.
"Brother Bo Juluo, the battle is not going well." Wang Qian's voice was full of worry.
Although he is younger than Yuchi, he is under the influence of his father, the governor of Jingzhou, Wang Xiong, the general of Zhuguo.
Jiong, the Duke of Shu, was actually an equal, and the two of them had a good personal relationship, so he naturally called Yuchi Jiong by his nickname instead of by official title like others.
After the historical captain Chi Jong raised troops, Wang Qian, who was transferred to the governor of Yizhou, also raised troops in Shu to respond. Unfortunately, he was too far away to respond. In the end, Yang Jian sent veteran general Liang Rui to Shu to pacify it.
Now the internal conflicts in the Northern Zhou Dynasty intensified early, Yu Wenxian and Yang Jian also separated early, and Shu fell into the hands of Li Xingchen. Therefore, Wang Qian naturally could not become the governor of Yizhou, but with his status, Yu Wen
Of course, Xian couldn't treat him badly. At this time, he could be regarded as the same pillar as Yuchi Jiong. However, Wang Qian still couldn't compare with Yuchi Jiong in terms of combat experience, so at this time, Wang Qian was more responsible for logistics.
things.
Now even Wang Qian's soldiers and horses have begun to go to the front line, and everyone can feel that the war situation is getting worse and worse.
Yuchi said in a deep voice: "The battle report we just received shows that the enemy has broken through Wangjiagou and is approaching Longmen along Xiaotonggou."
Because the mountains in the southeast of Luoyang are continuous, the Han army wanted to enter Luoyang from Xuanyuan Pass, or go north to attack Yanshi and Gongyi, and then attack Luoyang City along the road connecting Hulao Pass and Luoyang, but this meant that the Han army
Not only does the army have to make a circle to the north, but no matter which one of these two cities is captured, it will have to be attacked from both sides, or it will naturally advance diagonally and directly to the northwest along the remaining veins of Songshan Mountain. Although there is nothing major on this road,
The towns could rest and reorganize the army, but it also meant that the Northern Zhou army could only form formations in the wilderness to stop the Han army.
So Chen Zhishen obviously chose this path.
The Han army marched directly along the mountain towards Yishui. After passing Yishui, directly to the north was Baigu City, and Baigu City and Luoyang City were separated by the Luoshui River.
At the same time, the Han army Xiao Shilian's troops launched from the northwest of Luoyang and launched attacks on Luoyang from Mang Mountain and the north bank of Gushui simultaneously, thus forming an encirclement of Luoyang City with the Han army coming from the southeast.
"That's very close." Wang Qian couldn't help but frown. The situation was even more tense than he imagined. You must know that there should be at least several thousand soldiers and horses on the Wangjiagou side, but they were suddenly killed overnight.
The Han army broke through, which means that the next few lines of defense will probably not have much effect.
These Southern Barbarians are really good at fighting!
Wang Qian did not dare to take the Han army lightly before. After all, Yuchi Jiong was a fierce general that he thought he could not match. He was defeated by the Han army time and time again. But after all, he had never faced the Han army in person before.
Therefore, he was just hearing about the weight of the Han army. Some arrogant people boasted that the Han army was just meager, and quite a bit "I have Liu San Dao, three swords can kill Hua Xiong."
Majestic; some were almost overcome by phobia by the Han army, and their legs trembled when they almost mentioned the Han army. To them, it seemed that the Han army was already invincible.
Under the influence of these people, Wang Qian himself no longer had any opinions.
Looking at it now, the Han army is really difficult to deal with.
Yuchi Jiong also frowned. He originally thought of blocking Li Xinchen as much as possible through layer-by-layer defenses, or asking Li Xinchen to retreat. At least Xuanyuan Pass would be repaired for a few days before he planned to go north. In this case, Yuchi Jiong would still have a chance.
Mobilize troops and horses to see if they can cooperate with Zhao Wang Yuwen to attack Xiao Shilian's troops.
However, Li Xingchen seemed to be determined to join forces with Xiao Shilian at Luoyang City. This desperate attack really disgusted Yuchi Jiong.
In other words, Yuchi Jiong came up with a plan for Li Xinchen, but unfortunately, Li Xinchen saw through it.
Isn’t this uncomfortable?
"Yishui, we can't lose it anymore. After we lose it, all that will be left is Baigu City." Yuchi Jiong said directly, "If the Nanbarbarians advance at the current speed, it should be difficult for the three lines of defense we have deployed to stop them.
If Yishui is not defended for a long time, the enemy may appear under Baigu City in two days. I plan to personally go to the north bank of Yishui to take charge, and Baigu City will be handed over to Brother Chiwan (Wang Qian's cousin)."
Wang Qian gritted his teeth and stretched out his hand to stop Yuchi Jiong: "Let me go this time."
Yuchijiong's hands stiffened slightly and he looked at Wang Qian. His eyes were clearly asking, why?
Could it be that Wang Qian no longer trusts him as much as Yu Wenzhao?
For a moment, Yuchi Jiong felt a sense of sadness in his heart.
Wang Qian reluctantly said: "Brother Yuchi, don't think too much. It's just that Yuchi has fought for the country several times, and even his nephew has suffered a lot, but a certain person has only been waving flags and cheering behind brother Yuchi. He really has a guilty conscience.
, in this case, how can I have the face to go to Yecheng to meet His Majesty?"
Although Wang Qian's words are still far-fetched and can be explained, the meaning behind them is already very obvious. Your sons and nephews of Yu Chijun have now become prisoners of the Han Dynasty, not to mention that your family members are also in the Han Dynasty.
In your hands, who knows whether your Yuchi family really intends to kill the enemy and serve the country, or are you just using this method to constantly give the soldiers and horses in your hands to the enemy? Now that the Yuchi family has been completely captured, it stands to reason that what will happen next
It should be you, Yuchi Jiong.
If you surrender just as you say, wouldn't Luoyang City be doomed?
Why don't you go to the front to support us? Everyone knows that General Yuchi is very proud, so I understand that you will not surrender before the enemy reaches the gates of Luoyang City.
At the same time, Wang Qian also moved Yu Wenxian out. In name, he said that he had no face to see His Majesty, but in fact, what he wanted to express was that His Majesty and the entire court had such thoughts, and everyone has now reached a consensus.
, we are not very sure about your old loyalty, so we should just stay in Luoyang City.
Anyway, Yuchi Jiong's subordinates are all under the command of Yu Wenzhao, and the Northern Zhou troops defending Luoyang City are all Wang Qian's troops. This means that Yuchi Jiong now actually has no soldiers except his own bodyguards.
Therefore, Yuchi Jong stayed in Luoyang City and acted as a mascot to boost morale but could not mobilize a single soldier. This was now recognized by the Northern Zhou Dynasty as the best way.
