Chapter 292 Baima Port (Part 1)

"Is this Luoyang easy to take? Even if I am unable to seize Luoyang, I may not give it to you!" A fire in my heart slowly burned. On the surface, King Guo Wentong of Qin still did not show any expression.

As the ruler, no matter whether he is happy or angry, he cannot let his subordinates see it too thoroughly. Guo Wentong has worked hard step by step and naturally understands this truth.

It’s one thing to be angry in my heart, and there is only a layer of obscure expression on my face, making people unable to see that they are thinking.

At this time, the eunuch and Wang He were both proud and dared not say anything, and stood with his hands down.

Although Guo Wentong made a decision, he still couldn't suppress his anger and pressed down. Before he could stop his thoughts, he quickly turned in another direction.

If the offensive of the Hu people in Liangzhou stops, they will not only send out large troops, but they will not have to continue confronting the Hu people in Liangzhou, but they can also take the opportunity to repair the city walls and appease the people.

The Hu people actually did not have large-scale siege weapons, they only rely on sudden attacks and driving people to attack cities. Of course, the most important thing is to attack states and counties without unified conditions.

Now he only has to give him half a year... Suddenly, Guo Wentong's eyes lit up.

Luoyang cannot be defeated. If it really doesn't work, he will make the water even more complicated. If he can't get Luoyang, he will also make Dacheng Army and the Hu people return in vain.

During this period, Liangzhou Dake can consolidate its army and strengthen control.

In just half a year, Liangzhou can be more than doubled, and then there is still a glimmer of hope.

Thinking of this, Guo Wentong suddenly couldn't sit still.

"The Hu people want to borrow my knife, and I also want to get time. Liangzhou has to work hard to prepare for martial arts. I have Tongguan. Even if Wang Hongyi conquers Luoyang, he will not be able to do anything to me for the time being."

"Of course it is to seize Luoyang, and the second is to muddle the water. As long as the Hu people fight against Chengguo, I will launch all my troops and destroy the Hu people. This can also complete the foundation of the emperor."

"Forget it, let's try!" Putting the cup beside him, Guo Wentong frowned slightly and walked out of the hall.

Seeing that the eunuch followed him in a daze, he stopped a little, read a few names casually, and asked the eunuch to tell them to see him.

The eunuch quickly responded, ran out of the side hall, and headed outside.

"And you, go back and tell the relevant yamen, ask them to send additional personnel to Gu, stare at Liangzhou, Gu has the will to Liangzhou, you must clearly supervise and implement, and strengthen spy on the Hu people. You are Gu, and Gu has always been very at ease with you. You are Gu's eyes and ears, don't let Gu down."

"Please rest assured, I will do my best to do this after I go back and will never let down the king's trust!" After hearing the words of King Qin with affirmation, Wang He immediately fell to the ground and kowtowed upwards and said.

Guo Wentong was thinking about the next step, but he had no time to pay too much attention to him, waved his hand and ordered him to retreat.

"The king has been thousands of years old and thousands of years old!" As soon as he left the side hall, the palace eunuchs outside suddenly fell to his knees. Guo Wentong quickly walked past them and headed towards the study.

After waiting in the study for a while, the adults who were invited by the eunuch had arrived and entered one after another.

The first three are veterans over 50 years old, but they are not wearing armor, but are just wearing military officer uniforms and walking relaxed.

Followed by two fifty-year-old civil officials, both wearing official uniforms.

If Guo Wentong is called to discuss major events, he is his confidant and an important official. As for Guo Wentong's most confidant adviser, he has assigned another important task and cannot be summoned to come at this moment.

"I have seen the king!" As soon as I entered the study, the ministers immediately knelt down and saluted.

Guo Wentong waved his hand: "You don't have to be too polite, please get up and reply."

"Thank you, King."

Guo Wentong gave them another seat. After the eunuchs gave them each to incense tea, only a few of them were left in the study.

Guo Wentong did not hide it and told the Liangzhou information he had just obtained to listen to it.

Among these people, except for two civil officials, they are veterans who have experienced wars for a long time. After hearing Guo Wentong's words, they did not lose their composure, but instead began to think carefully.

"The king's intention is to take this opportunity to move to Luoyang?" A man pondered and looked at the King of Qin who was sitting at the seat.

Guo Wentong did not hide it and said with a smile: "I am the intention of this. The news in Liangzhou is true. I want to move my army to Luoyang."

"King, Luoyang is the place where everyone wants, and the troops from all directions are moved. With our current strength, even if the king sends troops to come, I am afraid that he will not be able to take advantage of it." Because he served the Guo family for several generations, an old general said frankly.

These Guo Wentong naturally understood that with his current strength, he was not considered powerful among the current princes.

Even if he is much stronger than Duke Zheng of Luoyang, even if Luoyang is an empty city at this time, and the two forces in the north and south compete at the same time, he still ends up being inferior and it is difficult to get the best opportunity.

But don’t fight, don’t plan, sit back and wait for death?

"If I don't go and fight, will they let Qin go?" He spoke lightly, and Guo Wentong swept through everyone.

After hearing this, several old ministers were silent.

"What the king said is reasonable, but I think that instead of fighting for Luoyang, it is better to insist on letting both sides fight to lose both sides, so that we can benefit."

"The king has an idea, and I will not object, but this matter needs to be carefully arranged. Luoyang is a place where soldiers and generals must fight for. If Duke Zheng can occupy this place, he must not underestimate it. With the Hu people and the Dacheng Dynasty eyeing it, it is not so easy to stir up this mixed water."

Guo Wentong said, "Gu also thinks this way, and even the adults think this way. Then discuss with Gu how to deal with Luoyang!"

"I obey the order!" After a pause, the civil servant raised his head and looked sharp: "Master, now in life and death, we must do our best to build military and financial resources."

Although Guo Wentong occupied a lot of landslides, the manpower and financial resources accumulated over the years should not be underestimated. If it is consumed by the national treasury, it can obtain a large amount of armed forces in a short period of time.

On May 16, the first year of Hongwu, Hanoi County

In front is an open plain, and a flat official road leads directly to the county town along Dingzhou Bridge.

At this moment, thick smoke and dust rose from the horizon, and with the sound of horse hooves like thunder, a large number of black cavalry rushed towards the county city.

These cavalry were wearing leather armor made of Han people, hung bows and arrows, and long swords.

Every cavalry has a strong and resentful face.

This is just a thousand cavalry at the vanguard, but it caused a huge marching movement. When people looked at it from a distance, they knew that this was a Hu cavalry!

When they arrived at a village, one of the cavalry stopped, and a general in the middle was wearing heavy armor. On the 30th day of the year, his eyes were filled with countless murderous auras.

The surroundings were full of elite soldiers, sitting firmly on the horse and scanning the surroundings.

"Do you want to clear the valley?"

"No need, Your Highness has an order to attack the county town, and the villages occupied in the future are not allowed to be killed at will without resisting." The middle general said, lifted the kettle, drank a sip of water, and ordered: "Continue to move forward."

When smoke and dust pass by, the villages and towns passed along the road, if anyone who does not resist has not been camped temporarily for rest, he has never slaughtered the villages and towns he passes through.

After the army passed, some villagers breathed a sigh of relief and began to open the door, which surprised and surprised the people who had heard of the cruel Hu people.

What happened? The Hu people, who are known for being evil, let them go?

"Is these Hu people a big deal that has been burning? The wolf has changed to eating grass?"

"Ph, this is the blessing of ancestors."

The people walked out of the closed courtyard one after another, looking at the road where the cavalry could not be seen, and they were confused. But more of the glory of surviving the disaster.

Some of the sub-city cities and counties in Hanoi County have their own defenders stationed, so they will not let anyone go easily. Moreover, the Hu *** army approached the city. The defenders closed the city gate at the first moment of getting the news and hung high on the suspension bridge.

When the cavalry approached the city, the defenders were ready to defend, and the confrontation was arguing, and the atmosphere suddenly became depressed.

Below the city, the Hu cavalry strangled their horses and watched the border city with a high wall in front of them.

After a while, the general ordered that the Han officials immediately began to shout loudly and persuade the defenders to surrender.

The defender on the city was a tough guy. Seeing this, he immediately ordered the powerful crossbowman to shoot arrows under the city, which was already a sign of his intention.

In the past, the Hu people must have been furious, attacking the city and defending the city. However, the Hu cavalry no longer persuaded the surrender, but after walking around the city for a few times, they turned around and rushed towards another road.

"What is the idea of ​​this Hu people?" When the people in the city saw it, they looked at each other in an instant.

When will the Hu people who are sieging the city leave after a meeting?

However, the Hu people did not come to attack their city, so they breathed a sigh of relief. They did not dare to take it lightly and ordered people to stare outside the city with caution.

At the same time, a large group of people dozens of miles away from the city stopped.

"Your Highness, the vanguard cavalry has sent people back." It is easy to find Huerbo's position in the team resting on the spot. There are elite soldiers around Huerbo.

At this time, Huerbo was eating the dry food he carried with him. Although he was a prince, he was not too particular when he was marching. When he saw someone coming with a bare upper body, he immediately stood up and faced them.

“Which road was taken?”

"Your Highness, the city ahead is high and thick, and it is difficult to capture it in a moment. The vanguard army has taken a detour from a small road." Baihu knelt down in front of him and said quickly.

"Well, there is no need to rush to attack the city for a while. Our army is all cavalry. No matter what city it is, they dare not go out to fight with us. After the new Han army arrived, they will be allowed to attack one by one."

"Baima Port is very important, and it must be taken down." Hurbo pondered this way and ordered his left and right: "Let them rest quickly, and march quickly to Baima Port later."

This time, Hurbo personally led his army south to take over Baima Port in Hanoi County first and not give the Dacheng Dynasty navy the chance to reach the Yellow River checkpoint here.

As long as you capture Baima Port, you will have in-depth conditions.

"No!" Everyone around responded.
