Chapter 1573 : Reappear the enemy

Outside Luoyang City, a team was marching rapidly. The team was not large, but there were more than 50,000 people. The general in the lead was a young soldier of about 30. I don’t know if it was because of the wind and sun. His skin on his face looked a little dry, and he didn’t look very good under the moonlight. Fortunately, his facial features were bright, and he was considered a strong figure and a height of about two meters. He also had a clear and smart face, squinting his eyes and bright eyes, and his whole body looked like a man.

This person is no other person, but the deputy general Geng Bingwen. Following the man on his right side, his body is as big as a brother. His open chest shows his extraordinary strength and is also extremely charming. He is the deputy general Zhao Yong.

Behind the two, there was a carriage sitting upright on the carriage, and there were two horses pulling the carriage. The carriage was slow and slowly heading towards Luoyang City under the night.

After a moment, the curtain of the carriage was pulled open, and a face popped out under the night. The handsome face lit up under the night. The man looked at the front of the carriage with a pair of big black and white eyes. After a while, he asked weakly: "Brother Mao, how long will it take to arrive in Luoyang City?"

After hearing the question, the coachman exerted a little force on his wrist, grabbed the reins, squinted his eyes and looked forward, and said, "Brother Xiao, please be more patient. You are rushing to the outer city of Luoyang. It will take half a day to enter the city?"

The man in the car sighed and said, "How could I be slow? The scout in front sent a message saying that Luoyang City was a prince of the Tartars who was defending the war. This man knew the art of war well. He relied on the Luoshui outside Luoyang City and sent 50,000 troops to guard Luoshui. Is this battle not easy to fight?"

| "Brother, please relax. General Xu and General Chang are my first-class generals in Jinling. The Tartars can compare with them even if they use troops. According to me, it will be a matter of time before they capture Luoyang City?" The handlebar whip was flat on the horse's butt. The two horses were in pain, neighed, and ran away with their hooves.

"After that being said, since ancient times, the food and grass have not moved since ancient times. This time, as the general of the food delivery, if the elder brother cannot deliver the food and grass in time, he will be afraid that the major affairs of His Royal Highness the King of Wu will be delayed? |?" The man in the carriage sighed softly.

The handlebar said: "General Xu, General Chang personally led the army. This time he captured Shandong for only more than two months. And along the way, my elder brother also saw with his own eyes that wherever our Jinling army went, the Tartars fled. Although this Luoyang City is solid, it is not an opponent of Xu and Chang. I am afraid that my elder brother will hurry up along the way. Xu and Chang have already captured Luoyang City to support the war?"

There was peace in the carriage.

The handlebar continued to persuade: "I followed His Highness the King of Wu as a servant, and I knew more. When I decided on the plan for the Northern Expedition, General Chang and General Xu bluntly told me to take Dadu directly. However, the two generals of His Highness the King of Wu found out the deployment of the Tartars in the Central Plains, the deployment of troops in the northwest, the relationship between the various departments, the political tendencies and military strength within the departments, and the military strength of the Northern Expedition. At that time, His Highness the King of Wu said that the Tartars had been established for a hundred years, and the city would be defended. If the troops were suspended in depth, they could not be broken immediately. They would be under the strong city, and the food and wages would not be continued. They would be four reinforcements, and they would not be able to fight, and they would have no basis to retreat, and they would inevitably fall into a passive state. For this reason, he proposed to take steady steps and advance gradually.

The Northern Expedition Strategy: "First take Shandong, remove its shield; turn to Henan, cut off its wings; pull out Tongguan and defend it, follow the threshold of the household, the world situation, and enter my control, then advance to Yuandu, then the power will be defeated without fighting. Once the capital is defeated, the drums will go west, and the clouds will be in the sky, Jiuyuan and Guanlong can sweep down. It is this that your highness asked the two generals to attack Shandong first and then Henan. Your highness has always been cautious in his actions. Since he did this, he naturally knew it. Moreover, your highness also said at that time that if you want to talk about the city, the only imperial city in the world is the most solid. With the ability of the two generals Xu and Chang, I believe that even if you lose food and grass, this Luoyang City can be captured!"

"Nonsense, how can you fight without food and grass?" the man in the carriage said with a slightly reproachful tone.

"Others may not be able to do it, but General Xu and General Chang will definitely do it!" said the handlebar in an unquestionable tone.

The man in the carriage smiled faintly and was not talking.

At this moment, there were sounds of horse hooves coming from the official road in the distance, and the sound was like thunder. Geng Bingwen in front squinted his eyes and looked at it. Under the moonlight, he saw yellow dust rolling, and thousands of soldiers and horses galloping towards him. Everyone was whipping their whip hard. The sound of the horse whip was heard.

"No, if there is an enemy, go and tell the general!" Geng Bingwen's heart moved, and he immediately stopped the reins of the horse and decided immediately.

Under the moonlight, although there were many enemy troops in front, the marching speed was extremely slow, as if something was dragging him down. Everyone was slow, and the leader looked around from time to time.

"General Xiao - General Xiao -?" A sound of horse hooves, and a war horse stood in front of the carriage.

He raised his brows and shouted at the young man: "What happened?"

The young man did not underestimate the handlebars, but went forward to salute and said, "Report to the master, have the enemy found in front of him?"

The young general's voice was very loud, and he could hear it clearly in the carriage. When the curtain of the car was lifted, a person in the carriage said, "How many people have come?"

The young general respectfully clasped his fists and said, "Go back to General Xiao, about two thousand?"

He continued to ask in the carriage: "Do you see clearly the people? Are they General Xu and General Chang's people?"

"No!" the young general said in a deep voice.

Suddenly, a figure came out. He was no one else, but Xiao Yun.

Xiao Yun narrowed his eyes and looked ahead, and said to himself: "It must be the enemy if it is not ours, but at this time, they should defend Luoyang City to the death. How could there be an army out of Luoyang City?"

He pondered for a moment and said, "Let's go ahead and take a look?"

The young general responded and took the lead in the way ahead. Three men and three horses went ahead.

"General Geng, who is coming?" Xiao Yun asked with a pull over the horse's rein.

Geng Bingwen slowly turned his face and frowned and said, "The other party's clothing is very strange. I have never seen it before. It is difficult to tell whether it is an enemy or a friend for a while?"
