Zhou Yafu gave the order, and the army moved!
Rumble ~~
From the camp, rows of orderly troops began to move out.
An army of more than 100,000 soldiers, consisting of infantry, chariots, and cavalry, marched forward.
The sound of soldiers running, the clashing of armor, the neighing of warhorses, and the rolling of chariots shook the entire place!
The army was like a forest of spears, and the horses were like dragons. The red flag of the Han Army fluttered in the wind like a huge dragon.
Under Zhou Yafu's orders, the army moved very quickly and did not stop at all along the way.
After taking a detour, they did not encounter any obstacles along the way, nor did they encounter any danger.
Obviously, the enemy did not expect them to take a detour to Luoyang.
On the second day after the army set off, Zhou Yafu learned about the situation at Hangu Pass from the soldiers who were scouting the pass.
As expected!
The King of Wu, Liu Bi, had arranged a large number of death warriors and wandering soldiers there in advance. They were waiting for Zhou Yafu to lead the army through there and intercept them.
When Zhou Yafu heard this news, he was secretly glad that he had listened to Tian Meng's suggestion and avoided a crisis.
This made him even more curious and surprised about Tian Meng!
As the army marched, the military situation at the front line kept coming.
After the Wu and Chu allied forces marched into the Liang Country, they were met with strong resistance from the King of Liang, the younger brother of Emperor Jing of Han. The Wu and Chu allied forces took down the spine wall in the south of the Liang Country and killed more than 10,000 soldiers of the Liang Country.
The Country of Liang was unable to resist the Wu and Chu allied forces, and the King of Liang was currently leading the remaining troops to defend the capital of the Country of Liang, Sui Yang City.
The allied army of Wu and Chu was charging towards Suiyang, wanting to destroy the Country of Liang in one fell swoop and move away this stumbling block in their march into the Central Plains.
Other than the Wu and Chu allied forces, the armies of the four countries, Jiaodong, Jiaoxi, Zichuan, and Jinan, who had participated in the rebellion, were currently besieging the capital of Qi, Linzi City.
The Qi Kingdom's King of Qi, Liu Jianglu, had also participated in the plot of the rebellion, but he changed his mind at the last minute. The four kings of the same faction were furious and did not attack the Central Plains as planned. Instead, they wanted to destroy the Qi Kingdom.
Therefore, they surrounded Linzi, the capital of Qi State, and attacked fiercely!
There was also the King of Ji Bei, who had been coerced to participate in the rebellion, who defended the city and refused to send troops.
The last country to join the rebellion, the State of Zhao, wanted to collude with the Xiongnu in the north and join forces with the Xiongnu army to attack Chang 'an.
Outside the Great Wall, the Xiongnu army was eyeing them covetously and could come south to help at any time. As a result, the hundreds of thousands of elite soldiers of the imperial court guarding the border did not dare to move lightly, nor did they dare to mobilize any soldiers to participate in suppressing the rebellion.
Therefore, the only countries that mobilized their armies to rebel were the Wu Kingdom, Chu Kingdom, Zichuan Kingdom, Jiaoxi Kingdom, Jiaodong Kingdom, Jinan Kingdom, and Zhao Kingdom. It was known as the Rebellion of the Seven Kingdoms.
The battles in the various regions continued, and Zhou Yafu led his army as they galloped forward.
Finally, a few days later!
The army had arrived at Luoyang!
Luoyang had yet to be occupied by the rebel army, so the army entered smoothly and completely controlled Luoyang.
In less than a day, Dou Ying and the old general Luan Bu led a troop to Luoyang.
Dou Ying was appointed General by Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty. He was responsible for gathering the grain and baggage of the various armies, guarding Xingyang, and monitoring the rebels of Qi and Zhao.
That night!
In the hall of a mansion in Luoyang, many generals who had suppressed the rebellion were gathered.
"General Dou, General Bu, you came at the right time!”
Zhou Yafu looked at the two generals in military uniform in front of him. His attitude was respectful and did not have the arrogance of a Grand Commandant.
Dou Ying was the nephew of Empress Dowager Dou and was a cousin of Emperor Jing of Han. His identity and status were extraordinary.
General Luan Bu was a figure from the era of Gaozu, a veteran with a high reputation. Even Zhou Yafu, who was now a Grand Marshal, did not dare to underestimate him.
"The military situation is urgent. General Luan Bu and I had to hurry over. How is the Grand Commandant now?”
Dou Ying looked at Zhou Yafu and asked.
"Come, the Wu and Chu allied forces have already defeated the Liang army at the thorny wall and are currently besieging the capital of the Liang Country…"
Zhou Yafu led Dou Ying and Luan Bu to a huge map and explained it to Dou Ying and Luan Bu.
Dou Ying and Luan Bu nodded and said,
"The morale of the Wu and Chu rebels is very high. They're attacking the capital of Liang so quickly!”
"Qi is also in a bad situation. Jiaoxi, Jiaodong, Zichuan, and Jinan are attacking Linzi City. I wonder how long that King Qi can hold on?”
"That King Qi is especially unstable. Seeing that the rebel army is powerful, if the Imperial Court's army doesn't arrive, he might not defend to the death!”
"If Linzi City falls, the armies of the four countries will no longer be able to stop us. They will attack Liang or Xingyang directly.”
Zhou
Yafu nodded slightly as he listened to their conversation.
After discussing for a while, Zhou Yafu came to a decision. It was not much different from the plan he had previously formulated.
Zhou Yafu led the main army from Luoyang to Changyi City, north of the Liang Country.
Dou Ying and Luan Bu would lead part of the army to take control of Aocang, the granary of the world, and then send troops to Qi to reinforce Qi and eliminate the rebels of the four countries.
The discussion was decided.
The two armies set off.
Zhou Yafu's army set off from Luoyang and marched.
Three days later, the army arrived at Changyi City in the north of Liang Country and stationed their troops there.
At this moment, in the huge tent of the main camp.
"Haha, the arsenal of Luoyang and the granary of Xingyang are now in the hands of the Han Dynasty. Suiyang of the Liang Kingdom has not been breached.”
"It's laughable that the rebel army's massive rebellion was so slow!”
Zhou Yafu was very happy when he received the news that Dou Ying had been stationed in Xingyang. He immediately ordered the soldier who sent the letter,
"Tell General Dou to make sure that the granary of Xingyang is not lost and that the grain and supplies of the various armies are not exhausted. At the same time, order General Luan Bu to lead the army eastward into Qi and reinforce Linzi City!"”
"Yes, Grand Commandant!"
The soldier immediately left.
When the generals in the tent heard Zhou Yafu's words, they looked at each other and were very happy.
As generals, they naturally understood the importance of Luoyang's arsenal and Xingyang's Aocang, especially Xingyang's Aocang, which was the granary of the world and had a great influence on the war.
"Reporting to the Grand Commandant, the King of Liang has sent a special envoy to see the Grand Commandant!”
While everyone was rejoicing, a soldier hurried into the tent and reported to Zhou Yafu.
"Oh? Let him in!"
Zhou Yafu stared at the soldier as he spoke.
Everyone's eyes widened when they heard this. The people from the Country of Liang were here…
