Schleswig rode on his horse and slowly followed the people sent by Wang Zhang to the rendezvous point. This place should not be far from Chen Liu. Schleswig looked ahead, and no one knew what he was thinking.
Zhang Bin felt the change in Schleswig. He gently lifted the reins of his mount and moved closer to Schleswig. He asked softly,"My lord, are you worried about the battle in Luoyang?”
Schleswig nodded slightly, then looked at Zhang Bin and said,"Military Advisor, you saw it too. Huyan Yan actually went straight to Luoyang without waiting for us to meet up. Although he went deep alone, as far as I know, Luoyang has been out of food for a long time. Perhaps it can't be defended…"
"My lord, are you worried that if Huyan Yan takes the lead, then all the spearheads will be aimed at Huyan Yan instead of Wang Mi or Liu Yao? In that case, our wish to sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight will be difficult to realize…"
"Yes, Huyan Yan's words carry little weight. Although he's a member of Empress Huyan's mother clan, he doesn't have much of a foundation. The others are different. If Liu Yao enters first, then Liu Cong will definitely be wary of him. If there's a gap between the two of them, although it's beneficial to me, it'll take a long time for it to show. Furthermore, the changes aren't something I can control…"
" That's right. Liu Cong and Liu Yao have always had a close relationship. Even if there is a barrier between them, it won't flare up immediately. Even if it does, I don't know when it will happen. Moreover, they are fighting among the royal family. It's difficult for the lord to benefit from it when he's outside…"
"Yeah, if it's Wang Mi..."
"If Wang Mi enters Luoyang first, then the heavens will give my lord another chance to grow stronger!”
When Schleswig heard this, he was delighted. This Zhang Bin was really a confidant. There was no need to say much, but their opinions were very consistent.
Schleswig's expression did not change. His brows were still tightly furrowed, and he did not show any interest. Instead, he replied worriedly,"Advisor Jun, are you comforting me? If Wang Mi entered Luoyang first, wouldn't it be just as Liu Cong wanted? Wang Mi was a Han, and the person he needed to rely on the most was Liu Cong. He was the Liu family's dog, so how could it be an opportunity for him to grow stronger? Hehe, it seems like it's a pity not to go to Luoyang this time…"
Zhang Bin knew that Schleswig did not mean what he said. For Schleswig to say such words to him, it seemed that his reluctance to kill had caused Schleswig's dissatisfaction. Perhaps Zhang Bin could use all kinds of reasons to comfort himself, but such a huge slaughter was really...
Zhang Bin collected his thoughts and calmly replied,""Will the lord fight with the children for food?”
Schleswig smiled awkwardly. He knew that he should not have said such words. Hearing the displeasure in Zhang Bin's words, he immediately cupped his hands and said sincerely,"Military Advisor, please don't blame me. I was wrong, but I really don't know how to deal with Wang Mi, and I'm not sure if Wang Mi will be the first to arrive. From the information I've received, the most likely person to be the first to attack Luoyang is Huyan Yan, which is why I'm so worried.”
Zhang Bin saw that Schleswig had sincerely apologized to him and explained the reason. It seemed that Schleswig's attitude towards him was not as estranged as he had thought. Perhaps in the future, as long as he did his best, he would slowly eliminate it. How could he bear to lose such a good lord?
Zhang Bin was not in a hurry to answer. Instead, he slowly said,"Wang Mi was valued by the late Emperor Liu Yuan and was not Liu Cong's true confidant. Moreover, Liu Yao and Wang Mi were not on good terms. I heard that Liu Yao was not only headstrong and self-opinionated, but also emotional. Sometimes, he did things based on his feelings. If Liu Yao really entered Luoyang first, Wang Mi's life would be better. If Wang Mi entered first, haha, Wang Mi would lose Liu Cong's trust. As the saying goes, distant relatives cannot be separated. Liu Cong naturally trusted his clansman Liu Yao more.”
"Although that's the case, Huyan Yan…"
" My lord, you don't have to worry. I've been sending people to keep an eye on every move in Luoyang. Since Huyan Yan set off from Ping Yang, he has been ostentatiously passing through. He has won dozens of battles, big and small, and won all of them. Although Huyan Yan is very proud of this, he has ignored the fact that his troops need to rest and reorganize. He continues to advance rapidly in order to be the first to reach Luoyang. As a result, the supply of food and materials has not kept up. Moreover, it has been the cavalry that has advanced, leaving the infantry far behind..."
" Yes, Luoyang is the imperial capital, and the city walls are tall. Without sufficient infantry, it's very difficult to take it down with just cavalry. Moreover, it's a lone army, and there's no way to surround Luoyang. Yes, what if Luoyang's morale is extremely low because of the lack of food..."
"My spy reported that the general guarding the city is still Beigong Chun…"
"Beigong Chun? En, Liu Cong and Wang Mi were defeated by him. He is a valiant and invincible battle general. It seems that Huyan Yan will suffer. Military Advisor, how many days do you think Huyan Yan can last to attack the city?”
"At most five days. The lone army will go deep without supplies and without reinforcements. They will retreat and wait for other reinforcements to arrive before attacking Luoyang. At that time, I thought that Liu Yao and Wang Mi would both be here, so Huyan Yan wouldn't have anything to show for it…"
"Hmm, I still have a question. How can I let Wang Mi enter the city first?”
"My lord, Wang Mi is also thinking about how to enter the city first. Luoyang is more than just a city to the Han people…"
"Hehehe, are you Han or Jie?”
"I am your servant in life and your ghost in death. Meng Sun only knows of you in this life! And the world will sooner or later be in the lord's pocket!”
Schleswig listened to Zhang Bin's words and was very satisfied. Yes, whether he was Han or Jie, he was still his person. This world would also belong to me, Schleswig, in the future. There was no need to care so much!!!
Zhang Bin saw Schleswig's satisfied expression and felt much more at ease. Now, he was only one month away…
Just as Zhang Bin was still planning for his future, the troops suddenly stopped.
Shi Hu rode over from the front.
Schleswig also reined in his horse. He looked at Zhang Bin and then looked at Shi Hu, who was getting closer and closer. He was also a little puzzled.
"Uncle, Wang Zhang's troops have been discovered in front. Wang Zhang has surrounded a group of refugees. There are many troops dressed like Jin soldiers among the refugees!”
Schleswig looked at him with a little dissatisfaction. Didn't he just find Wang Zhang? Why did he have to rush over to report it? Thinking of this, killing intent appeared on Schleswig's face.
Shi Hu was only a little afraid when he saw Shi Lei. Now that he saw Shi Lei's unfriendly expression, he immediately explained,"Uncle, it's not that I'm reckless, but that many of Wang Zhang's generals were killed by a young general, and all of them were killed in less than a round!”
"Oh? Lead the way!" Schleswig's interest was piqued.
Zhang Bin also became very interested and followed Schleswig.
Shi Hu also followed closely behind the two of them, all the way to Wang Zhang's place.
Within the encirclement.
Ran Zhan's body was covered in blood, but it was not his own blood, but the blood of more than a dozen generals under Wang Zhang. Ran Zhan glared at the Xiongnu cavalry surrounding him. These Xiongnu cavalry were mainly made up of Jie people. They were the troops that slaughtered his own compatriots in Ku County. Ran Zhan's anger had turned into fighting spirit!
Behind Ran Zhan were Li Hu and Little Green, as well as all the civilians and 3000 soldiers who had escaped with them from Ku County. However, there were no reinforcements from the Qihuo Army that Ran Zhan had mentioned before.
Ran Zhan seemed a little tired. He went all the way to Chenliu and found Chen Wu at Peng Pass. However, no matter how much he begged or how much he mentioned his father's name, it was useless. Chen Wu refused to send troops to rescue Luoyang. He was even unwilling to accept the refugees that Ran Zhan had mentioned. He said that there was not enough food to eat. His subordinates constantly accused Ran Zhan of his reckless behavior. Ran Zhan heard the evil words of Chen Wu and his subordinates and could tell that Chen Wu only wanted to live in peace in Chenliu. Therefore, Ran Zhan left on his own in a fit of anger.
Ran Zhan didn't expect to meet Li Hu, Little Green, and the others as soon as he reached the border of Chen Liu. However, Liu Biao, Auntie Hong, and Mingyue were nowhere to be seen…
When Ran Zhan learned from Li Hu that Mingyue's condition had worsened, so Liu Biao had taken Mingyue and Aunty Hong to Luoyang first, he was slightly relieved. Liu Biao and the cavalry he brought with him had gone through life and death with him, so their strength was very clear. As long as they did not linger in battle, it should not be a problem for the light cavalry to reach Luoyang quickly. However, when Ran Zhan saw the crying Little Green, his worry for Mingyue became even stronger...
Just when everyone knew that they could not take refuge in Peng Pass, they could only discuss how to go to Luoyang. However, at this moment, Wang Zhang, this follower, had already slowly surrounded them. The consequences of a cavalry versus an infantry were very obvious…
However, because of Ran Zhan's angry roar and request for a one-on-one fight, it aroused the interest of the demon Wang Zhang. He frequently sent people to fight Ran Zhan one-on-one, but he did not expect that they would all be killed in one exchange. One had to know that these people who were killed were all quite powerful. They had actually been beheaded in less than a round, and the one who killed them was actually just a youth...
Just as Wang Zhang was hesitating whether he should personally meet this child, a huge cloud of dust appeared behind him. This made Wang Zhang a little afraid. Could these people be bait?
Just when Wang Zhang seemed uneasy, he found that the people who came were all troops dressed in Xiongnu costumes. Only then did he know that his reinforcements had arrived. After surrounding Ran Zhan's troops, Wang Zhang did not rush to attack, but prepared to wait for the reinforcements to arrive. Then he would perform again and let Schleswig see his bravery.
However, he didn't expect Shi Hu to come first…
As soon as Shi Hu arrived outside the encirclement, he saw a young general riding a horse. His body was covered in blood, and many of his Xiongnu warriors were lying on the ground. This made Shi Hu furious. He looked at Wang Zhang fiercely and did not say anything.
When Wang Zhang saw Shi Hu, he was a little flustered. This little ancestor was really something. If he was a demon, he would be a demon king. He was even more ruthless and vicious. He had seen his methods before. When he was younger, his reputation was notorious. Therefore, Wang Zhang did not dare to say anything about Shi Hu's disdain. His subordinates were disappointing...
When Schleswig and Zhang Bin arrived, Wang Zhang realized that Schleswig was looking at him like he was looking at those two-legged sheep. This made Wang Zhang feel even more uneasy…
Ran Zhan looked at the increasing number of troops surrounding him and his troops, and the expression on his face became more and more solemn…
Suddenly, a gap appeared in the encirclement. It was not that the surrounding Xiongnu soldiers had retreated, but that they had opened up a path for more Xiongnu soldiers to enter…
