After Zhuge Kan entered Jinyong City, he immediately sent people to dig a tunnel leading to Daxia Gate in Luoyang North City according to Xu Zongwen's plan in advance.
At the same time, Shen Chong also acted very positively after expressing his intention to join Xi Jian.
The day after meeting Xi Jian, Shen Chong used his family's savings to directly buy Shiweitian, the store closest to Daxiamen! Later, it was announced that Shiweitian would be renovated, and then the restaurant, which had a prosperous business and a lot of money, was closed, and two hundred people were secretly dispatched day and night to move towards Daxia according to the dimensions and distances in the direction pointed out by Xi Jian. The door began to excavate the tunnel.
In order to further paralyze Fu Hui and reduce the Qin army's vigilance, according to the original plan, after Fu Hui offered Jin Yong City to the advancing army, Xu Zongwen ordered the army to retreat ten miles and return to Beiman Mountain.
Hearing that the Jin army withdrew its siege and retreated ten miles, the tense and restless atmosphere in Luoyang City disappeared instantly. After Luoyang turned the corner, Fu Hui and the civil and military officials in Luoyang were secretly happy. They all thought that Xu Zongwen was a man of his word and his promises. They all felt that their previous decision to donate Jin Yong City was very rational.
"Your Majesty has long said that General Xu Xiao of the Cavalry is the successor of the Xu family in the East China Sea. He has made the most important promise to the noble family. How could he go back on his promise? Who was against it in the first place? Did you see it? The Lord's decision is so timely. How witty and courageous is that?"
"The Lord abandoned Jinyong City and saved hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians in Luoyang City, avoiding the tragedy of Luoyang's fall. The people will be grateful to the Lord if they know this."
"That's right, the Lord sacrificed Jinyong City just for the soldiers and people of Luoyang City. What do you get in exchange for it now? Turn the crisis into safety, and you will no longer have to worry about anything!"
"The Lord has made a clear decision, Luoyang is lucky, and the world is lucky!"
"Congratulations, Your Majesty! Congratulations, Your Majesty!"
…
Fu Hui was immersed in the praise of Luoyang's civil and military forces, and had long forgotten all his previous worries, and started a ridiculous and extravagant life of drunken poetry and poetry with the civil servants.
Xi Jian was invited to banquets by Fu Hui many times in Luoyang City. Because of his outstanding literary talent, Luoyang civil servants admired Xi Shouyue, who was known as the Kongming of Qingzhou. Fu Hui also personally respected Xi Jian's romantic, open-minded nature, and even more He took out the five-stone powder from his collection and shared it with Xi Jian.
"Good brother, you helped me in Luoyang to resolve a crisis. As the saying goes, if you have something, you must share it together. Qingzhou is a remote and poor country. We, Luoyang, are located in the heart of the world. We travel from south to north, east and west blend, trade is complex, and the land is vast and rich. We are in short supply. This is the Five Stone Powder. Brother, let me tell you, once you take this Five Stone Powder, your spirit will be cheerful, your body will be as light as a swallow, otherworldly, you will become an immortal, and you will be like traveling in a fairyland, carefree and leisurely. The taste cannot be described in words, you can only personally describe it. Only by trying can you know the secret..."
Fu Hui was drunk and unconscious, and he also took Wu Shi Powder. Taking Wu Shi Powder after drinking alcohol, or taking Wu Shi Powder first and then drinking alcohol does not make much difference. Once taking Wu Shi Powder, it must be taken away.
The so-called walking dispersion actually means to dissipate heat and purge fire, so you cannot wear thick clothes, eat hot food, and wear single clothes. It is best to run naked and eat some ice cubes. The cooler the better.
Why?
Because Wu Shi Powder has hot and dry properties, it must be neutralized with cold things to achieve the purpose of harmonizing yin and yang, otherwise it may burn the internal organs.
Even if you take Wu Shi Powder on a cold day, you will feel like your insides are burning, let alone in other seasons?
Seeing Fu Hui and Luoyang civil and military officers running wildly with their breasts exposed, Xi Jian shook his head repeatedly.
Such a minister, such a lord, such a ridiculous behavior, if Luoyang is not destroyed and Qin is not destroyed, there is really no way of heaven!
The officials of the Prefectural Mufu Mansion knew the inside story and moved a large water tank with ease. Those who could not bear the effects of the medicine stripped naked and jumped into the water tank to dissipate heat.
While Fu Hui and Luoyang civil and military officials were obsessed with the medicinal properties of Wu Shi Powder, Xi Jian said goodbye and left.
One dose of Wu Shi Powder costs up to 5,000 yuan. How many households earn this salary per year?
I'm afraid Fu Hui and others have behaved this way not once or twice. The people of Luoyang and Sizhou cannot bear the exploitation, and they are going even harder. It's not advisable, it's not advisable!
Xi Jian called his entourage and whispered: "Immediately send someone to inform Shen Chong to speed up the process and try to open the secret passage tonight. Then send someone to contact the pangbai Jinyi guards in the city and pass on the military information in the city to the general. You must not miss this opportunity." Lost!"
"No! Sir."
Fu Hui was drunk and dreaming, and the civil and military forces in Luoyang City had no ambitions and only cared about the joy in front of them. In addition, after the news of the Jin army's withdrawal spread, the defense of Luoyang City was bound to be lax.
Take advantage of his illness and kill him. If you don't take action now, why wait until later?
In fact, it was not just Xi Jian who thought so, Xu Zongwen outside the city also thought so.
After pretending to withdraw, Xu Zongwen hid his troops in Beimang Mountain, creating the illusion that the army was heading north. This was to lower the defenses of the Qin army in Luoyang, so that Fu Hui and the civil and military officials of Luoyang City could feel at ease. Launch a fatal blow!
When Xi Jian's military information was delivered to Xu Zongwen via Jinyiwei, Xu Zongwen was receiving a military report from Zhuge Kan requesting support and had already led his army to set off from Beimang Mountain.
"Okay, a God-given opportunity, Mr. Auxiliary Machine." Xu Zongwen handed the urgent report to Pei Qing with trembling hands.
After reading it carefully, Pei Qing felt that this was the right time to march, "Luoyang City is lax and the defenders have no intention of fighting. Pingyuan Gong Fu Hui and others are greedy for pleasure and indulge in lust. Luoyang City appears to be impregnable, but in fact it is already vulnerable. But after the battle, not to mention that Zhuge Sima has already discovered the tunnel. By then, the general will lead troops to attract the attention of the Qin army in the southern city. Zhuge Sima will lead the vanguard to attack Daxia Gate in the northern city, and Luoyang City will change its owner in just a blink of an eye."
Speaking of digging the tunnel, Xu Zongwen remembered that Xi Jian mentioned in the military report that Shen Chong, the Luoyang captain who voluntarily joined the army, and that Shen Chong and Zhuge Kan were conducting excavation work from two directions at the same time, which meant that it was originally expected to be completed in three days. It only takes a day and a half to complete the tunnel, and today is the day when the tunnel is completed!
It seems that Shen Chong still contributed a lot to the victory of Luoyang.
Xu Zongwen stepped on the stirrups skillfully, grabbed the saddle, stretched his long back, straightened his waist, and got on the horse with a little effort. Xu Zongwen held the whip and said loudly: "Give the order and march quickly. Arrive at the designated position before nightfall, and be ready to attack at any time." Luoyang City launches an attack!"
"No!" Several messengers handed over their hands and left, scattering in all directions.
Xu Zongwen's so-called attack was actually just a feint, that is, he focused on attracting the troops of the Luoyang City defenders so that Zhuge Kan and Shen Chong could meet up and capture Luoyang City as soon as possible.
The long dragon-like army snaked forward, heading toward the south of Luoyang City in a hidden way...
