Yuzhou, Xiang County.
"What, Cheng Tong from Yangxia has rebelled!?"
After receiving the shocking news from Yu Qi, Wang Mi's expression changed drastically.
The ranger continued with a panicked look on his face.
"General, not only Cheng Tong of Yangxia County rebelled, but also Wuping, Qiaoxian and other armies rebelled. They all used the banner of the Jin Army and said they wanted to respect Sima Rui, the Langya King of Jiangdong! "
When Wang Mi heard this, he was furious.
"How dare these thieves come from!"
Wang Mi's army has always made a living by roaming around and looting, and the control of local counties is not very tight. The soldiers and horses in Yangxia, Wuping, and Qiao County are just to facilitate the search for grain and grass supplies from various places. , the number of soldiers and horses allocated to each place is not too many.
The reason for this was to prevent these generals from rebelling against Wang Mi.
Wang Mi really couldn't understand how brave Cheng Tong and others dared to betray him. Could it be that they could stop him with just the thousands of troops in their hands?
"General, I'm afraid this matter is not that simple!" Marching Commander Shi Liutun on the side suddenly said.
"Chang Shi, what do you mean by this?"
"Although Cheng Tong and others are quite brave, they are not reckless. This rebellion must have been reinforced by Jin troops!" Liu Tun said.
"Jin army reinforcements?" Wang Mi immediately thought of this possibility.
"Yes, in my opinion, the reinforcements these rebel generals are counting on should be the Jiangdong soldiers in Shouchun, Huainan!" Liu Tun said confidently.
After Wang Mi heard this, he nodded and said.
"These three rats dared to rebel under my nose. They must think that the Jiangdong soldiers in Shouchun, Huainan, can make me dare not act rashly."
The more Wang Mi thought about it, the more he felt that this was what happened.
These rebellious generals must have felt that they were restrained by the Jin army in Shouchun, Huainan, and Wang Mi did not dare to go north to attack them. Then they could calmly recruit troops and horses for defense.
"What the general said is absolutely true! These thieves must have thought so!"
When Changshi Liu Tun said this, he immediately offered advice.
"General, I think those thieves must have just sent someone to report to the Jin army in Shouchun, Huainan. As long as the general leads a small force to advance quickly, he will definitely kill these thieves while they are unprepared. land!"
Liu Tun's words were very much in line with Wang Mi's wishes.
"Yes! According to what Chang Shi said, I will personally lead the troops to chop off the heads of these traitors!" Wang Mi stood up.
"Brother, then I will gather the troops immediately!" Wang Zhang said immediately next to him.
Wang Mi was about to nod when he heard Liu Tun suddenly stop him.
"Wait a minute! General, to defeat these rebels, we need to move quickly. It is best to lead the elite troops to advance quickly. As long as the general suddenly appears in front of the rebels, the general's power will make the thieves collapse without a fight! Why bother to mobilize the troops? , and in this case, the opportunity may be wasted!" Liu Dun advised very seriously.
When Wang Mi heard this, he also felt that what Liu Tun said made sense.
"In that case, fourth brother, you stay in Xiangcheng. I will lead the elite troops to kill Cheng Tong and these thieves first, and then we will meet up and go north to Luoyang!"
Wang Mi thought for a while and then said.
"Brother, after all, this trip is hundreds of miles away. Don't we really need to bring more troops and horses? What if Cheng Tong and the thieves are already prepared, and if they can't be dealt with in a short while, then the Xiongnu Emperor asked to besiege Luoyang I'm afraid it will waste time."
Wang Zhang was a little worried on the sidelines.
"Tu Gezi is short-sighted. He has refused to listen to me and refused to move the capital to Luoyang. That's why today's changes happened!"
Wang Mi felt resentful again and said angrily.
When the Jin Dynasty conquered the capital of Luoyang last year, Wang Mi persuaded the Huns to move the capital from Pingyang to Luoyang, thereby making the Huns Empire officially settle in Luoyang and creating the momentum of an orthodox dynasty. However, the Huns Liu Cong, Liu Yao and others All the monarchs and ministers felt that Pingyang, where the Huns gathered, was relatively safer and refused to move the capital to Luoyang.
"It's ridiculous that they are so eager to capture Luoyang now. Let them wait!" Wang Mi finally said.
"Brother, the envoy sent by Liu Cong said that after he defeated Zhao Gu this time and recaptured Luoyang, he would let him garrison Luoyang. If he went too late and Liu Cong went back on his word, wouldn't it be wrong? What a pity." Wang Zhang said with great reluctance.
"Haha, the place that the Huns want most now is Guanzhong, which is three thousand miles away from the fertile land. Luoyang did not want to divide its troops to garrison in the first place. Now Liu Ling, Shi Le, and Zhao Gu are no longer available, and Shi Hu occupies both ends of the Xiang Kingdom. , if Luoyang is not handed over to me to garrison, who else can those Tu Gezi be handed over to?"
Wang Mi said very confidently.
"Okay, don't worry, just go and select elite soldiers from each department to stand by. When I leave, just guard the city for me! If the Jiangdong soldiers in Shouchun, Huainan attack, just defend the city and don't go out to fight. Wait for me Just come back!”
Finally, Wang Mi arranged everything very resolutely, and the next day, he personally led 20,000 elite troops to kill towards the north.
In less than a day, the troops led by Wang Mi marched to Chen County.
Chen County, originally the seat of the Yuzhou government of the Jin Dynasty, had been captured and plundered by Shi Le, Wang Mi, Zhao Gu and other Hu and Han soldiers in the past two years, and it was already in a state of dilapidation.
There were not many people visible in the entire city. Several huge holes were exposed in the broken city wall. All kinds of hares and crows could be seen everywhere in the city.
"General, there are not many families left in this city, but there are quite a few houses that can accommodate you."
A general responsible for the investigation reported to Wang Mi.
"It's better if we don't have anyone else. We won't reveal our whereabouts! Let's rest here tonight." Wang Mi said.
"General, there are too many leaks in the walls of Chen County. To ensure safety, it is better for you to select some soldiers and horses for warning purposes." Marching Commander Shi Liutun said.
"Okay, Chang Shi, let's go and do it." Wang Mi said slightly tiredly.
In the past year, Liu Tun has made many suggestions and helped Wang Mi a lot. Now, Wang Mi can safely leave it to him to handle this kind of marching alert, which was originally one of the responsibilities of the marching commander.
At night, after Wang Mi's men settled hastily in the city, they all went to sleep and rested, except for some security sentries.
Wang Mi, who has always been energetic, planned to go to bed early in order to ensure his energy for the next day.
Wang Mi had just taken off his armor and was about to sleep in his clothes when he suddenly heard bursts of noise outside.
Wang Mi was startled when he heard the sound. He immediately held a long sword and shouted to the soldiers outside the door.
"What's the fuss outside!"
"General, there is a fire coming from the north of the city!" the soldier said in surprise.
Wang Mi didn't even have time to pass on his armor and immediately rushed out the door.
Sure enough, the area north of Chen County was ablaze with red fire, and there were faint sounds of killing.
"Enemy attack?!" Wang Mi was shocked.
If this is the case, could it be that the rebel Cheng Tong and others came to attack? Or was Xun Song from Yingchuan County and other Jin troops coming to attack?
Wang Mi had just run out with his own soldiers to summon all the generals, when the voice of Chief Shi Liu Tun came outside the door.
"General, general, there is an enemy attack!"
Liu Tun was dressed in armor and hurried in with a guard.
Wang Mi asked immediately after hearing this.
"Have you ever seen clearly who it is!?"
After hearing Wang Mi's question, Liu Tun said with worry in his tone.
"General, I'm afraid there is someone in the army..."
Liu Tun seemed to be deliberately lowering his voice for fear of being heard, which made Wang Mi even more confused.
"Could it be that there is a traitor's accomplice in the army!?" Wang Mi thought secretly in his heart.
"Chang Shi, please come closer and speak!" Wang Mi immediately urged.
Liu Tun then stepped forward respectfully and got close to Wang Mi's ear.
"General, there is a traitor in the army!"
Wang Mi was not panicked, but asked calmly.
"Who is the accomplice?" Wang Mi thought quickly in his mind. He went through the several generals he brought this time in his mind one by one and found that everyone was suspicious.
"General, the traitor's accomplice is General Wang Zhang!"
The words of Changshi Liu Tun were like a heavy hammer, hitting Wang Mi's heart directly.
"What! Impossible!" Although Wang Mi didn't believe it, he immediately panicked.
At this time, Wang Mi saw a strange look on the face of Chang Shi Liu Tun in front of him.
At some point, the soldier who came with Chang Shi Liu Tun had already circled behind Wang Mi.
Suddenly, Wang Mi heard an incomprehensible word from Chief Shi Liu Tun in front of him.
"General Ran, when will we be waiting for more?!"
When Liu Tun said this, the muscles on his face were already tense and twisted.
As soon as Wang Mi heard these strange words, he immediately became alert. He instinctively twisted his waist and tried to dodge to the side.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he moved, he felt a sharp pain in his back and waist, and all the strength in his body was suddenly relieved.
"Ah!!" Wang Mi was in severe pain and roared like a bull roaring, frightening several soldiers around him.
"General!"
"assassin!"
When several soldiers saw Wang Mi fell to the ground under the sneak attack, they drew their swords and rushed toward Liu Tun and Liu Dun.
However, Liu Tun and Ran Long were well prepared and quickly killed these soldiers thanks to their complete armor.
Afterwards, several sergeants holding swords and crossbows poured in from outside the door.
"General Ran, the city is in chaos, and there's fire everywhere!"
The sergeant looked inside as he spoke, and then asked.
"Where's Wang Mi? Did you succeed?"
Ran Long grinned after hearing this.
"Wait for my last blow!"
After saying that, he walked towards Wang Mi who was still struggling and crawling on the ground.
The severe pain in Wang Mi's waist had blurred his vision. He only heard a burst of powerful footsteps behind him and knew that this was a thief who wanted to kill him.
He touched a long sword on the ground, used up his last bit of strength, turned over and stabbed backward.
Unfortunately, this blow was weak and was easily blocked by the attacker.
Wang Mi immediately let go of the long sword in his hand and fell to the ground with a clang. He gritted his teeth and asked unwillingly.
"Wait a minute! Who are you..."
The last few words in Wang Mi's mouth were cut off by a burst of cold light before he could say them out.
"puff!"
With a soft sound, Wang Mi's head fell to the ground.
Ran Long stepped forward and leaned over to pick it up. He didn't care about the bleeding and put it directly into his robe.
He pulled Liu Tun's sleeve and said hurriedly.
"Liu Shijun, let's take advantage of the chaos and leave quickly!"

Sizhou, Luoyang.
Outside Luoyang City, in the military camp of the Xiongnu and Han Kingdom.
The Xiongnu Emperor Liu Cong was furious with his generals.
"A mere Zhao Gu has ordered me to dedicate five thousand soldiers and horses here. If we capture Luoyang, how many people will die!"
After Liu Cong finished speaking, he still felt resentful and whipped the nearest Hu Han general.
The Hu Han general was protected by armor, so he didn't feel much pain, so he stood upright and endured it.
After Liu Cong let out a breath of anger, he looked at the cavalry general Hu Yanyan next to him with a murderous look on his face.
"General Huyan, what do you think is a strategy to win quickly?"
Hu Yanyan, the cavalry general, heard this and immediately replied.
"Your Majesty, there are only tens of thousands of Zhao Gu's soldiers and horses in Luoyang City now, and they are all a mob. They are just relying on the strong city of Luoyang to resist. Now that our army has just arrived, the thieves in the city still have some strength, so they can attack our army. It’s lethal.”
Hu Yanyan said this in a colder tone.
"The best plan now is to first consume the strength and arrows of these thieves in the city. When they are exhausted, we can then launch a fierce attack with our Huns. We will surely defeat them with one blow!"
After hearing Hu Yanyan's words, Liu Cong's expression changed.
This is not a unique method. Before the arrival of the Xiongnu Emperor Liu Cong, the cavalry general Hu Yanyan used this method.
Hu Yanyan sent Xiongnu cavalry and captured a large number of Jin people in the surrounding areas, intending to use them to attack the city and consume Zhao Gu's troops and horses in the city.
However, when the Xiongnu Emperor Liu Cong arrived, he immediately disliked this method of wasting time and instead ordered the Hu troops to attack Luoyang.
"Is there no other way?"
The Xiongnu Emperor Liu Cong asked unwillingly. Although he wanted a quick victory, if the cost of a quick victory was too high, the Xiongnu Han Kingdom, which was based on only hundreds of thousands of Xiongnu tribesmen, would never be able to afford it.
The cavalry general Hu Yanyan shook his head and said.
"Your Majesty, if we want to save the lives of the Huns in our headquarters, we must use this method. Anyway, Zhao Gu in Luoyang City is already a turtle in the urn. The Jin troops in Xingyang and Yingchuan cannot get close to Luoyang, so they are not afraid of other thieves in the city. ability!"
After hearing this, the Xiongnu Emperor Liu Cong said with some regret.
"What a pity, Wang Mi's troops have not arrived yet!"
"Wang Mi's soldiers and horses are not only brave and good at fighting, but they are all Jin people. Even if they die, I won't feel sorry for them."
