Chapter 248: The army is at the city
"The 100,000 troops in Huainan are about to reach the city. That is the elite who have been fighting in Liaodong. It is not comparable to these imperial guards who are doing evil in the imperial city.
"There are 10,000 of the 20,000 imperial guards, but they were temporarily gathered together. Can Luoyang City be defended? Can it be defended?" Xu Xiaode roared hysterically with a thick red neck, and suddenly realized that he had no longer the demeanor and demeanor he should have as a minister of the past.
Damn, this old man felt like a mirror in his heart. Yes, a 100,000-strong army of 20,000 troops was brought to defend the city by 20,000 imperial guards. But this guy is so confused. Are there any soldiers from all over the country?
"I dare not assert whether the 20,000 defenders can defend it," Yang Xiao sneered, "but if I just need to guard him for ten days and half a month, there will be a turning point."
Xu Xiaode sneered at the opposite end: "It's ridiculous, children's opinion, pedantic, I guess you want to guard the soldiers from all over the country to serve the king, haha--You dream, I'll tell you another thing, when Huainan raised troops, Chen Wenjia of Huizhou had long instigated the conquering Haozhou, and Huizhou established the Emperor Wenjia—"
"What did you say?" Yang Xiao suddenly jumped, "Huizhou? Emperor Wenjia? Who is more bold than Meng Yao's family, why don't Daxing Palace know, why don't you say it?"
"What did I say? The soldiers in various places are too busy to take care of themselves. The Sui Dynasty has already become aware of hidden fires. The old emperor claims to be a general all over the world. He only knows how to impeach all officials. He has already made everyone feel in danger. Who has the heart to do political affairs?"
"You old bastard" Yang Xiao suddenly jumped up, pointing at Xu Xiaode's nose and cursing.
"Hehe--You called me an old bastard, I admit that I am ashamed of myself. Since I was a child, I asked you, "I said that Huizhou has launched an army, what should the Great Sui Dynasty be used to resolve it, what is left of the Great Sui Dynasty? Guo Yiren, a soldier in Guanzhong, has been defeated, and the Chang'an Rebellion has now been born, what should the Great Sui Dynasty be used to reconcile?"
The king is weak and the ministers are bullied! This has been the truth since ancient times.
These words made Yang Xiao speechless and stared at the head of the Sui Dynasty, as if he didn't recognize him.
"I am an old bastard, it doesn't matter if I stay in Luoyang to sacrifice my life for the Great Sui Dynasty to repay God's favor, but my daughter, the wife, does not suffer this crime. Isn't it right to send it to Guanzhong?"
"Dad - I won't go." Xu Hui was already crying when she heard it at the stairs. She ran down and threw herself into Xu Xiaode's arms and cried with infinite sadness.
Xu Xiaode suddenly saw Xu Hui coming in tears, and couldn't help but cry. He held his daughter's body and choked, "Dad has done a lot of confusing things in recent years, but this time the Huainan army is about to arrive. You and Uncle Yuan and others go to Guanzhong to hide. If Dad is lucky enough to save his life, he will go to find you."
"Dad, I won't go to my daughter to accompany you, I will stay with you even if I die——"
Faced with the appearance of Meitu Hui, Yang Xiao was embarrassed and scolded Xu Xiaode on the spot. Hui Yao was sure to hear nothing. To be honest, Yang Xiao was not sure that he was a 100,000 army. Hulao Pass had no natural danger to defend Luoyang City, and it suddenly became incomparable to the sunset canyon.
But Mr. Zhu, Chen Jian, Dong Xiangyun, including the old emperor who was hiding in Renshou Palace, had high hopes for him, so that he could not retreat from the women he had to do with him. If his relatives could get rid of this circle, Yang Xiao would never be stingy.
"Girl Hui" Yang Xiao stepped forward and whispered, "You should—or, you should listen to your father—"
"Brother Yang, I won't go. Although I am not a heroine, I am a good reader of the scriptures and understand some great righteousness. Besides, although Uncle Yuan has no major faults, his family has already been marked with the name of infidelity. If I go, wouldn't I be stigmatizing my father again?"
"Oh--" Xu Xiaode was silent for a while before sighing. How could he not know the reputation behind him? Since ancient times, loyalty and filial piety have been difficult to achieve both loyalty and filial piety. The reason is only because of the word "love".
"No matter how long we can stay, we won't leave," Xu Xiaode said with some regrets, "No matter how long we can stay, our family will be together at least."
"Yes, daddy" Xu Hui responded softly, and her pretty face, which was filled with tears, was immediately filled with smiles.
"Since that's the case, Daddy will tell your uncle Yuan, at least we were ministers in the same palace."
"Dad, go first, I'll talk to Brother Yang for a while before going to find you," Xu Hui said excitedly.
Xu Xiaode looked at Yang Xiao deeply, then sighed secretly, turned around and walked out with a little sadness.
When Xu Xiaode disappeared at the door, Yang Xiao looked at Xu Hui awkwardly and said, "When did you come out, have you heard it?"
Xu Hui looked at Yang Xiao with tears in her eyes, full of infinite tenderness: "Brother Yang, there have been so many things happening, why don't you come to me? Do you know that I often think about it in the room alone, thinking about it one day, Brother Yang rode a white horse to find me. Today, it's not me, but sister Dong, sister Qin told me that I am still in the dark."
"Oh--" Yang Xiao sighed, "It's not that I don't want to find you. I always want to wait for a while before I go to find you. But things continue to go on infinity - now a hundred thousand troops are coming again, alas--"
"Brother Yang, I know that you are His Highness Changsun now and have to shoulder such a great responsibility, but your Hui girl is still the Hui girl in your heart will always support you. I will tell my father later that I want to accompany you in this Wangjiang Tower like Sister Dong and Sister Qin."
"You-you-go-you-go better go back first." Yang Xiao was moved and felt very sad.
"I don't." Hui girl responded stubbornly, suddenly rushed into Yang Xiao's arms, and cried again, "I don't know how many days I can have. That time I was at Baima Temple was the happiest time."
Yang Xiao tightly rubbed the beauty in his arms, and recalled the scene of roasting chicken and roasting duck with Hui Yatou when he first came to Da Sui that day, which was full of infinite warmth.
The two were quietly immersed in the tenderness of knowing each other and getting to know each other, and suddenly they didn't know that Dong Xiangyun was coming and going upstairs.
At three o'clock in the afternoon, Xu Xiaode finally returned to the Xu Mansion with his wife and eldest daughter. Element wanted to return to Guanzhong but was still sent by Zhao Heizi to Daxing Palace to imprison him after Yang Xiao learned of the entire Guanzhong situation.
When the sun was about to set, General Chen Jian finally came and rushed to the defense of the outer city with all the 10,000 imperial guards who originally wanted to guard Daxing Palace.
Including the newly-made 10,000 imperial guards, all kinds of copper helmets and iron armor were standing densely on the top of Luoyang City, and the fortifications were carried out in an orderly manner. The guarding of the city was incomparable to the day's guarding the canyon. When the sunset canyon was in a good position, the guarding of the waterway was quite powerful, and the guarding of the waterway was quite powerful. Now, there was no advantage to defending the city except for the people in high positions.
Weapons and weapons are mainly weapons that can have bombs. One can sweep everything. In today's cold weapons era, gunpowder is the supreme killing weapon. What is the sky-shaking crossbow and the earth-shaking crossbow are all floating clouds in front of it.
Yang Xiao came from later generations to clearly understand the effects brought by technology. Unfortunately, he knew very little about the formula of gunpowder. I hope Miss Li will be lucky to possess her again.
After that, Yang Xiao also sent people to gather all the blacksmiths in the city, including Song Daddy from Songjiazhuang, to draw out all the models he could think of in later generations, and to create the gunpowder formula of Miss Li overnight, as soon as it came out, it filled all the powdered formulas of Miss Li.
So, Yang Xiao sent people to Zhujinfang on the south bank of Luoshui to find out the news every two or three hours. Then he waited for the 100,000 troops of Meng Yao.
Finally, when the sun was sinking into the mountains, the deafening sound of horse hooves came from outside the city, and all the iron armored military uniforms were as dazzling as stars in the afterglow of the setting sun.
A sassy and heroic female general in the central army was particularly conspicuous, obviously the Meng Yao family who had not seen each other for many days.
Yang Xiao sat on the city tower, next to him was the generals such as Dong Xiangyun, Chen Jian, Zhao Heizi, and others looking at the approaching Huainan soldiers with a solemn expression.
A hundred thousand army was finally stationed on Erlipu outside the city, which was once the main hall of the Cao Gang. It was natural for Meng Yao to hang on the key points with the thunderous momentum.
Fortunately, His Highness Changsun retreated the imperial guards on duty early, and Erlipu was only two miles away from the city wall. If they were still guarding, these imperial guards would be like falling into the tiger's mouth.
It’s a pity that General Jinwu who had been following him for many days and the woman from Xingzhanmen, Dong Xiangyun thought so.
Meng Yao did not let Yang Xiao and the others wait for a long time, so he personally led five thousand soldiers and horses toward the city gate and stopped outside the area with an arrow from the moat. It seemed as if waiting for something
"What are your highness and the others doing? Are you going to attack the city?" Zhao Heizi, who was standing beside him, couldn't help asking.
"Hehe--" Yang Xiao sneered, "It's not that fast. I guess she's just exploring the truth. I'm afraid the siege will be tomorrow."
"Why?" Dong Xiangyun asked in confusion.
“Because we are still alive”
Outside the city, General Wen Tailai next to Meng Yao also asked Meng Yao, who was like a god next to him in confusion, and said, "Girl, can we only take 5,000 troops to attack the city?"
Meng Yao frowned with her beautiful willow eyebrows and said coldly: "If we don't attack, our army will be exhausted and will break the city tomorrow."
"Why?"
“Because they are still alive”
"They are still alive?" Wen Tailai said in surprise, "They are alive, are they dead?"
"If we know they are alive, we will not only lead a hundred thousand troops but three hundred thousand."
"Where are we here at this time?"
"Explore the truth and reality" Although Meng Yao said this, who knows in his heart, probably wants to hear the little bald head sitting upright on the city tower.
"Meng Yao, I didn't expect that we would meet again under this situation." Yang Xiao suddenly stood up and said loudly to Meng Yao outside.
Meng Yao asked instead, "Who interprets that poem?"
"Poem?" Yang Xiao was stunned. Meng Yao said something without any end.
"The bright moon dives in the clouds, and heavy rainstorms make a disaster; the Luo River has three feet of shores, and the river has ten feet of vortex."...
