Gao Anagong was also regarded as Wang Qian's right-hand man. He was originally a general of the Northern Qi Dynasty, but later surrendered to the Northern Zhou Dynasty. He was flattering but quite capable of commanding troops.
Historically, Wang Qian had the courage to raise troops in Shu because his subordinates, Da Xi Qixin and Gao Anahu, were quite capable. In addition, their identities as Xianbei people originally caused a deep conflict between them and Yang Jian.
, so one must die after a battle breaks out.
Unfortunately, Wang Qian still overestimated the abilities of these two guys. Liang Rui entered Shu, defeated them easily, and drove directly to Chengdu, making Wang Qian's massive rebellion disappear in an instant.
This is not simply a matter of two people's ability. Li Xingchen has seen what Bashu is like with his own eyes. If it weren't for Li Xingchen's active rectification, I am afraid that Bashu would still be the same place where there was even a famine. You know, this was a place in the past.
In the land of abundance, the fact that it is so desolate that there is famine shows that there are not many people in this place and even the government cannot form proper management.
Wang Qian took advantage of such a place to raise troops to resist Yang Jian. What is the difference between Wang Qian and seeking death?
With the help of firearms, Xiao Shilian attacked the Northern Zhou camp in Mang Mountain without much effort. The Northern Zhou army did not have much courage to resist. The dead people caused by the artillery fire may be more than the living people killed by the bombardment. After all, this place is Mang Mountain.
Well, it's simply a paradise for tomb robbers.
After conquering Beimang, Xiao Shilian led his troops to the southeast, surrounded Luoyang from the north and west, and joined the Imperial Guards on the south.
Li Xingchen has also arrived at the south bank of Luoshui when the Han army joins forces, and will cross Luoshui tomorrow morning.
But before that, Xiao Shilian had come to see Li Xingchen.
"The great Han hussar general Xiao Shilian is here to see your majesty!" Xiao Shilian knelt down on one knee and solemnly saluted Li Xinchen.
"Boqing, get up quickly," Li Xingchen said with a smile, stretched out his hand to give Xiao Shilian a hand and looked at him, "Since the last time we said goodbye in Guanzhong, we haven't seen each other for several years, right? The stability of Guanzhong and the war on the Western Front
The brilliance is all the result of Bo Qing!"
Xiao Shilian said sternly: "I will go through fire and water for His Majesty without hesitation. The suffering of running around and defeating the enemy are nothing!"
Li Xingchen was startled for a moment. The Xiao Shilian in front of him was no longer a young man. The beard on his lips was a bit thick, and his face also had many scratches from the weather. He had not seen Xiao Shilian like this and the words that came out of his mouth. Li Xingchen
It feels a little strange, it seems that this is no longer the Xiao Shilian that I am familiar with.
However, when Li Xingchen saw those eyes, he had already put down some of his guard, because the brilliance in those eyes still seemed to be the same as when the two met in the wilderness.
The young knight in silver armor is determined to trample the enemy under the hooves of his horse.
Although time can kill everything, it has never worn away this guy's innocent heart. This is what Li Xingchen envies most. Even if he has been in the position of the Ninth Five-Year Plan for a long time, all he thinks about is
In the art of controlling one's subordinates, one's thoughts will inevitably become much deeper.
It's me who worries too much.
"To show your loyalty?" Li Xingchen asked with a smile, "Do you think I will doubt you?"
Xiao Shilian smiled and said: "Your Majesty, I have to go through the motions to prevent them from impeaching me."
This kind of Xiao Shilian is the Xiao Shilian that Li Xingchen is familiar with.
To this day, even Lechang and the others rarely address Li Xinchen as "husband" to highlight Li Xinchen's status. Only Xiao Shilian and Pei Zilie maintain the title of "junchen" when talking to Li Xinchen, but they still make Li Xinchen feel
So, they regard themselves as brothers, not as emperors.
The emperor can be overthrown, but brothers who share life and death will never abandon them.
"It's a pity that Lian'er is not with me, otherwise you and your wife can meet again." Li Xingchen sighed with emotion. His sister and Xiao Shilian also spent less time together and separated more. However, it was precisely because of this that Li Lian'er did not stop Xiao Shilian from taking concubines.
Otherwise, this guy is far away in the northwest and can't help but mess around with others. It will really damage his reputation.
Last year, his concubine gave birth to a son.
If Li Lian'er hadn't been around, I'm afraid the concubine wouldn't have had this chance.
Thinking of this, Li Xingchen glanced at Xiao Shilian helplessly.
Then the two guys let out a knowing laugh between two men.
"Come on, let's see which unlucky guy should be dealt with first?" Li Xingchen said directly, taking Xiao Shilian around to the back of the screen, where there was a huge sand table.
Walking to the sand table, the situation in Luoyang was clear at a glance.
Chen Zhishen, Yang Su and others had the good sense to stand here early, so as not to hinder His Majesty from reminiscing with Xiao Shilian.
Although Luoyang City is large, it is now surrounded by Han armies.
Wang Qian obviously did not intend to go out of the city to fight with the Han army again, because it was obvious that the number of Han troops at the meeting point now exceeded that of the Luoyang defenders, not to mention that Wang Qian could not pull all the defenders out to fight with the Han army.
decisive battle.
Good brother Yu Chijiong had already suffered a tragic defeat at Hangu Pass, and Wang Qian had no intention of repeating the same mistake.
Compared with the Han army that joined forces, the Northern Zhou army at this time was a little embarrassed. In addition to those in Luoyang City, there were also some in Henan City. From Luoyang to Henan, you need to turn northwest and then cross the Valley River or southward.
After crossing Luoshui, you can reach it by crossing Luoshui to the west. In other words, Luoyang and Henan City have actually been completely separated due to the natural river channel. In addition, the Han army outside the city and the two Northern Zhou armies
In fact, it was completely isolated, and at the same time it was isolated from Hulao Pass, Chenliu and other places as well as the Northern Zhou army in Hebei.
In other words, these are two pieces of meat that are placed in front of the Han army. All Li Xingchen needs to decide is which piece to eat first.
"I think we should take Henan City first, defeat Yuwenzhao, and then go to Luoyang." Chen Zhishen said immediately, "Henan City is located to the west of Luoshui. Although it is not a strategic point, the front can threaten our army's flanks at any time. We must break Henan City first.
This can eliminate our army's worries, and the only thing left is to attack Luoyang with all our strength."
Xiao Shilian retorted: "Your Majesty, I think otherwise. I have defeated Yu Wenzhao in Gushui and burned his ships. Yuwenzhao no longer has the capital to forcefully cross Luoshui or Gushui to communicate with Luoyang, so retreating into the city is the inevitable and only choice. Otherwise,
Even if he goes out of the city, he is just waving flags and cheering for Wang Qian on the other side of the Luoshui River. It is no longer a problem for our army. When the city of Luoyang is broken, Yu Wenzhao will be isolated and helpless, so he can only be captured without any help."
After a pause, Xiao Shilian continued: "In addition, Luoyang has always been the main target of our army's attack. Yu Wenxian on the north side may still go south at any time. Take Luoyang first and then calmly sweep Yu Wenzhao, otherwise we may have long nights and dreams."
