Luoyang.
Connected in all directions, the king's place. When they learned that Xia Jun had arrived on the outskirts of Luoyang City, the soldiers and civilians in Luoyang suddenly realized the danger. Now that Liu Xiu has fallen, the atmosphere in Luoyang City has also changed drastically.
Kou Xun, Fu Jun and others are constantly sorting out the remaining treasures and books of the Eastern Han Dynasty, and various treasures. These are extremely precious resources, and a small amount of them can support the rise of a power.
Even for top dynasties such as Daxia and Western Han Dynasty, there is still some small help.
The carriages carrying various supplies were escorted by Fu Jun personally and sent to Mianchi first. To the west of Mianchi is the old pass of Hangu, and to the east is the new pass of Hangu.
However, the defense of Hangu New Pass is not strong. If you march from the east, you can bypass this place, so Fu Jun chose Mianchi as the node for running treasure resources.
At this time, Deng Yu, Yao Qi, Xu Chu and others also returned to Luoyang.
After learning about Kou Xun's decision, Deng Yu had no objection and immediately took over the military and political power and continued to implement it as usual.
"Prime Minister, the Queen and all the princes and princesses have been sent to Mianchi. His Majesty the Emperor sent a general to lead an army east to Hangu to meet him..."
Kou Xun reported on the situation in the past few days.
Deng Yu was handling military affairs. Now the Eastern Han Dynasty existed in name only, but there were still many passes in the south around Luoyang, as well as a large number of generals and soldiers.
If they retreat, these soldiers will also have to withdraw one by one.
What he dealt with was to draw elites from these soldiers and horses who were willing to follow them to Guanzhong.
Every officer and soldier is not alone. They have parents, wives and children. If Luoyang is captured by the Xia army, they will definitely not want to leave their homes and abandon their wives and children.
If possible, they would definitely want to stay in their hometown.
Deng Yu would not give up on them, so he took advantage of this period to try his best to mobilize the elite among them to evacuate together. If he was unwilling to abandon his family, he would take the family papers with him.
These matters were very complicated, which Deng Yu could easily solve.
Deng Yu was handling official duties while listening to the report. When he heard that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty had sent a general to come to meet him, he couldn't help but raise his head and asked, "Who is the general sent by His Majesty Emperor Wu?"
Kou Xun said: "It's General Cao Shen..."
Deng Yu's expression changed slightly when he heard the name Cao Shen. He had a deep memory of this general who was the founding father of the Western Han Dynasty and was said to have the greatest military exploits. He later served as the prime minister.
On the one hand, the opponent was both civilized and military, and had great military exploits. On the other hand, he was the opponent's descendant, Cao Cao, who was the historical hero who ended their Eastern Han Dynasty.
However, in the world of China, Cao Cao has fallen, and during his lifetime he united with the Han army to fight against powerful enemies. After his death, his two powerful generals also surrendered to the Han army, and all the unpleasantness in history disappeared.
"With the support of Marquis Pingyang, Mianchi can be guaranteed to be safe!"
Deng Yu still recognized his ability.
"By the way, where are the Xia troops from the south?"
Deng Yu asked.
Lu Zhi on the side immediately reported: "Qi Jiguang's troops have captured three passes and are approaching Yin Que Pass... General Yang Hu is still holding on to Yin Que. Without support, General Yang Hu may not be Qi Jiguang's opponent."
Deng Yu was convinced and immediately said: "Then let General Yaoqi and General Xu Chu go to Yinque together. They must hold on for at least ten days to buy time for the rear to evacuate."
"There are also cities east of Luoyang, blocking them layer by layer, trying to delay the Xia army's advance as much as possible!"
No one in the hall had any objections.
After Liu Xiu's absence, even Hanhe Emperor Liu Zhao did not have as much prestige as Deng Yu. Liu Zhao has escorted the royal family to Mianchi, and all power in Luoyang is controlled by Deng Yu.
Such power can be compared with that of the emperor.
But now that the Eastern Han Dynasty is about to fall, no one will be so confused that they jump out to fight for power with Deng Yu at this time.
Even if you want to fight, you have to fight after entering Hangu Pass.
At this moment.
A meteor suddenly appeared in the sky. The meteor shook the sky and roared past. The world of China was
A strong person can see the figure of a general appear and then quickly dissipate.
Deng Yu, Kou Xun and others immediately came to the door quickly and looked at the sky. For a moment, sadness appeared on their faces.
"how come?"
"Didn't I send a message to Xiangyang, asking General Feng Yi to lead a small number of elites to break out and join us in Guanzhong or Hanzhong? How could he die in battle?"
Kou Xun couldn't believe it.
After all, it is difficult to kill a strong person who has reached the heavenly level. Even when facing a god general like Yue Fei, there is still a good chance to escape and save his life.
But the phantom emerging in the void is none other than Feng Yi, the general in charge of the Xiangyang army.
Deng Yu looked at the disappearing meteorite and seemed to realize something, a trace of sadness appeared in his eyes.
"Since ancient times, when a country has been destroyed, how can it be that there are no loyal ministers and good generals who have died? Your Majesty, Long Yu, has passed away. Feng Yi will follow your Majesty and continue to fight in the Netherworld!"
Deng Yu thought to himself, but did not say it out loud to avoid misunderstanding by Kou Xun, Lu Zhi and others.
If he hadn't been responsible for Liu Xiu's care, he would have died a grand death together with Liu Xiu, and then continue to raise troops in the underworld.
Zhou Yafu buried three hundred soldiers in the tomb and was falsely accused of going to the underworld to rebel.
Deng Yu really meant this.
As there are more and more top experts in the world of China, the secrets of this world are inevitably spread. Those top wise kings and ministers all know that after death, people do not return to dust and return to earth.
They will also turn into ghosts and go to the Land of the Netherworld... The Land of the Netherworld has absorbed hundreds of millions of souls who died due to war and famine, and has also attracted countless powerful people who have evolved their life levels.
Those fallen ninth-level experts have all become members of the Netherworld...
Deng Yu didn't know the specific situation in the Netherworld, but there were always fights in any place. If he could die in a vigorous battle in the human world, he could fight with other ghosts in the Netherworld and become a ghost hero.
After learning about the existence of the Netherworld, the generals and famous ministers who originally regarded life and death as a game.
They are not afraid of death, but they are afraid that their reputation and achievements will not be established.
A few hours later.
The remaining spies of the Eastern Han Dynasty in the south conveyed the final news.
The Han army in Xiangyang broke out and was besieged by Xia Jun Yue Fei and other powerful men from the Heaven Realm. In the end, General Feng Yi and General Liu Laozhi died in the battle. General Wang Chang was chased and killed by Yang Zaixing after breaking out...
The only ones who successfully broke through were Jia Fu, Cen Peng, Zhou Yu and other Heaven Realm experts and a small number of elites.
Most of the Han army in Xiangyang were trapped in the city. After Feng Yi died in the battle, Xiangyang City was no longer able to fight back and suddenly opened up.
Now the most important stronghold of the Eastern Han Dynasty in the south has been pulled out, Xiangyang and Nanyang have been connected, and a large area of the territory has been dyed red by the Xia army.
Only the cities in the west of Xiangyang and Nanyang fell into the hands of the Shu Han and the Western Han respectively.
The Shu Han were in confrontation with Wang Jian. The situation that was almost dangerous was immediately reversed with the return of Zhuge Liang, Zhang Fei and others. Zhang Fei led the elite to capture Fangling Xicheng and other places, cutting off the Han River waterway.
The Western Han Dynasty sent General Zhao Chongguo to take over the Shangzhou and Danyang passage, and pushed the Western Han Dynasty's territory into Nanyang according to the dangerous mountains and rivers.
The Great Xia Dynasty got the greatest benefit from the destruction of the Eastern Han Dynasty, and some of it was absorbed by the two Han Dynasties.
"General Wang Chang also died in battle..."
Kou Xun looked a little sad.
Wang Chang's strength is relatively average, and the celestial phenomena after his death are not too obvious. Feng Yi's death can alarm all the powerful people in China, but he is far inferior.
The twenty-eight generals of Yuntai who gathered together at the beginning are now withering away. It's really a bit sad.
"With the fall of Xiangyang, the Xia army's west-route troops will inevitably speed up their march northward, and we must speed up too!"
Deng Yu was not immersed in sadness, because he knew that there was still a land of the netherworld in the Chinese world, and not everything would disappear after death. If there was a chance, he would also enter the netherworld, and he would still have time to see His Majesty, Feng Yi and the others again.
Time passed quickly.
A few days passed in the blink of an eye.
In the past few days, the Xia Army's Eastern Route Army did not mobilize in large numbers. Instead, Fu Youde and Han Qinhu each led a group of elite troops to advance step by step and continuously capture the city passes from Hulao to Luoyang.
The morale of the Han troops in these passes was somewhat low due to the fall of Liu Xiu and the loss of Hulao, but they still maintained a certain degree of strength.
Although it didn't take long for Fu Youde and Han Qinhu to capture the city.
But as long as the city is attacked, a certain amount of time will be wasted.
It would take half a day at the fastest to capture the city, quell the chaos, and clean up the gangsters who took the opportunity to kill, set fire, loot, and insult women. Two cities are one day.
Fortunately, Wang Jing and Han Xin did not require their troops to rush forward.
Progressing step by step will certainly allow Deng Yu and others to take away Luoyang's treasures, books, and various resources. But Wang Jing does not lack these things, nor does he value them too much.
It is more important to rectify the troops and revitalize the morale of the troops.
After a few days of rest, the Xia Army soldiers who were bombarded by meteorites successfully recovered. After all, even if the enemy summoned meteorites, they were no match for them. The army still captured Hulao Pass and won a complete victory.
Under the premise of a complete victory, the helpless and despairing feeling of being bombarded by meteorites quickly dissipated.
"It's time to send troops!"
Wang Jing thought to himself after seeing the situation of the East Route Army.
After he had such an idea, Han Xin came to see him soon.
"Your Majesty, now that the morale of the army has been restored, I would like to ask you to lead the army westward and march directly to Luoyang!"
When Han Xin begged for a fight, there was still a trace of eagerness in his tone.
When Wang Jing saw this, he immediately understood Han Xin's plan. The other party must have seen the military report from the Nanyang camp, so he was a little anxious.
Nanyang Xingying, Qi Jiguang's troops, had been attacking Yinque Pass for several days and had the upper hand.
The military report came that it would be possible to capture Yin Que in just three days, and the troops would be at the gates of Luoyang City.
With the remaining strength of the Eastern Han Dynasty, it was impossible to defend a big city like Luoyang. If Qi Jiguang leads an army to the city, Luoyang is likely to fall without a fight.
Deng Yu, Kou Xun and the others were desperately trying to transfer Luoyang's classics and treasures during this period. Wang Jing had long known this through spies.
After transferring a large amount of resources, Luoyang City is no longer a city that must be defended by them. They will inevitably evacuate immediately before the main force of the Xia army arrives...
Luoyang was the capital of the Eastern Han Dynasty. After Liu Xiu's death, the Eastern Han Dynasty existed in name only, but it was not dead yet.
Only after the capital is captured will the Eastern Han Dynasty be completely declared over.
Han Xin's East Route Army won a great victory at Hulao Pass, but Liu Xiu died at the hands of Wang Jing. For Han Xin, it was impossible for him to take credit for Liu Xiu's death...
Only by seizing Luoyang before the Nanyang camp could Han Xin tell people that he led the army to destroy the Eastern Han Dynasty.
This is the work of destroying the country!
It is the highest honor and supreme merit of a general.
With Han Xin's character, it was impossible to ignore it.
In the original history, before Han Xin attacked Qi, Li Shiqi had already persuaded the King of Qi to surrender. However, in order to take the credit for destroying Qi, Han Xin attacked all the way to Linzi when Qi had opened its borders, causing Li Shiqi to surrender. He was cooked and killed by the King of Qi.
This shows Han Xin’s heart.
After coming to the world of China, Han Xin learned lessons and changed his mind because of his fate in history. His arrogance has been reduced a lot, but his character has not fundamentally changed.
"Okay, I also have this intention!"
"The general will lead the front army and set off. I will personally lead the middle army to hold the battle for the general!"
Wang Jing's eyes moved slightly, as if he didn't notice Han Xin's thoughts, and he smiled and agreed to his request.
After all, the fighter plane has arrived.
"I accept your order!"
The corners of Han Xin's mouth raised slightly, and he didn't care that Wang Jing had quietly seized most of the military power of the Eastern Route Army. He had only one purpose now, which was to personally lead the army to capture Luoyang.
He wanted the news of his destruction of the Eastern Han Dynasty to spread throughout China.
"Liu Ji, I don't know how you will feel when you hear the news that I will conquer the Eastern Han Dynasty..."
Han Xin thought to himself, his eyes so bright and frightening.
Half a day later.
Most of the Xia army on the east route was dispatched, with Hulao Pass as the rear, and began to surge towards various city passes in the east of Luoyang. Fu Youde and Han Qinhu no longer wasted time reorganizing the captured cities.
They handed over the city to the soldiers and horses who took over from behind and sped up.
One day later, the vanguard of the East Route Xia Army entered the east of Luoyang, only three hundred miles away from Luoyang City.
Han Xin personally commanded the front army and led his troops to quickly approach the city.
Half a day later.
The general banner of the Xia army appeared outside Luoyang City. First there were dozens of cavalry, and then with the roar of horse hooves, thousands of cavalry appeared like a tide in the sight of the Han army at the head of the city.
When the general's flag representing Han Xin appeared, the defenders of Luoyang City seemed to have lost their fighting spirit.
Accompanied by a crunching sound.
The gates of Luoyang City are wide open. A Han general led his men to Kaicheng and surrendered. Before Han Xin arrived in Luoyang, just as Wang Jing had guessed, Deng Yu and Kou Xun gave up what they had not taken away and directly abandoned the city with their people.
The family records, money and materials of the Eastern Han Dynasty officials in the city were also left with the royal family and the Han army during the great retreat a few days ago.
There is almost nothing left in Luoyang City except the people at the bottom and all the soldiers who are unwilling to leave.
But anyway.
When the Xia army entered Luoyang, it meant that the Central Plains had completely fallen into the hands of Daxia.
With a smile on his face and a riding whip in hand, Han Xin personally accepted the surrender of the Han generals and led his men directly into the city gate on horseback...
Fu Youde and Han Qinhu in the distance looked at each other and looked at each other...
He entered Luoyang directly without waiting for His Majesty to come in person. Only Han Xin could do such a thing.
