Great Tang Dynasty

Chapter 466 Attacking Luoyang

At the foot of Fengluo mountain, the Tang Army camp.

Cheng Yaojin walked back and forth in the big tent.

"Any news?"

"General, not yet."

Cheng Yaojin became more and more anxious, and even a little uneasy. If he had known about this situation, he would not have let Qin Tian go up.

Dusk is approaching, and a gust of wind blows, but it can't blow away the sweltering heat in everyone's hearts.

Qin Wu finally couldn't bear it anymore.

"General, let's lead the troops to attack Fengluo Mountain, don't let Houye have any accidents."

Cheng Yaojin frowned, and immediately ordered: "Reorganize the army and go to Fengluo Mountain."

As soon as the order was given, someone immediately went down to deliver the order, and within a short time, three thousand Tang troops were ready.

"Set off……"

Just when Cheng Yaojin was about to leave, suddenly, a spy rushed to report: "Come down, come down, Lord Hou has come down..."

Hearing this news, Cheng Yaojin and others finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"what's the situation?"

The spies said: "Master Hou brought down the bandits from Fengluo Mountain, and also brought down the grain and grass that had robbed us before. Master Hou asked me to report, saying that we should send people to fetch the grain and grass as soon as possible."

"Okay, okay, I knew this kid was sure, come and bring back the food and grass."

Cheng Yaojin ordered, and suddenly called the spies over again: "Did Qin Tian say how to deal with those bandits?"

"This... Lord Hou didn't say anything, but it seems that he is not going to deal with it."

Hearing that Qin Tian didn't plan to deal with those bandits, Cheng Yaojin's brows frowned immediately, feeling a little uneasy. When he came, Li Shimin specifically asked him to exterminate the bandits on Fengluo Mountain and scare Datang The other thieves in the territory, but now Qin Tian doesn't deal with them, how can he explain to Li Shimin?

Things are a little tricky.

At dusk, Qin Tian finally returned to the barracks with the bandits and the previous food and grass. The food and grass were for disaster relief, so they were relatively large. They carried them down from the mountain, but it took a lot of effort.

At this time, everyone was sweating profusely from exhaustion and collapsed.

Cheng Yaojin looked at these people, and the killing intent in his heart suddenly became stronger. Killing these bandits at this time, they have no ability to resist at all.

To kill or not to kill?

Cheng Yaojin walked out.

"Xiao Tian, ​​okay, have you got all the food and grass back?"

Cheng Yaojin needed to find out more, Qin Tian smiled, and then called Luo Huang and Luo Feng over.

"Lu Guogong, thanks to the two of them who understand righteousness and are willing to follow us to suppress the rebellion, I have already promised them to ensure their safety. After returning to Beijing, Lu Guogong will also help."

Qin Tian knew what Cheng Yaojin was thinking, so he explained the situation to Cheng Yaojin first, lest Cheng Yaojin kill someone in a hurry, and after Cheng Yaojin heard this, he glanced at Luo Huang and his brother and sister Luo Feng. At this time, the two of them lost their previous arrogance, and hurriedly saluted: "I greet Lu Guogong, I have offended you so much before, and I still look at Haihan."

Cheng Yaojin's eyebrows moved slightly, and Qin Tian suddenly burst out laughing: "Duke Lu, didn't you say that you are the ancestor of bandits, why are you so nervous that you can't speak now that you have met the younger generation?"

Hearing Qin Tian's words, Cheng Yaojin slapped him across the face: "Who is nervous, you are the one who is nervous."

Saying that, he said to Luo Huang and Luo Feng: "Since you have abandoned the darkness and turned to the light, then do your best, make meritorious deeds, return to the capital, and my country will still ask for credit for you."

What Qin Tian said was just to remind Cheng Yaojin that Cheng Yaojin was also a bandit, so he should understand their hardships, if they had no choice, how could they fall into bandits?
Judging from Cheng Yaojin's reaction, he did hear it.

It's just that because they robbed food and grass, the rebel army broke out. This crime is not light. I don't know how much credit it will take to allow the two of them to get back their lives when they return to the capital.

"Lu Guogong, order people to rest. We will rush to Luoyang City early tomorrow morning."
-
Luoyang has the convenience of water conservancy and is close to Chang'an City, so it is the most prosperous city in the Tang Dynasty so far.

However, everyone in Luoyang City is in danger at this time, and even Luoyang Governor Zhang Danian doesn't know how long this Luoyang City can last.

After the Yellow River burst, many crops in Luoyang were flooded, and the surrounding people were displaced. Although he tried his best to save them, with Luoyang's strength, there was still little effect.

I thought that after the relief food from the imperial court came, it could be remedied. Who would have thought that the relief food would be robbed, and Li Jiancheng's old party Li Yiyu launched a rebellion again.

The situation was much worse than he imagined.

"When will Lu Guogong and Qin Xiaohou be here?" Zhang Danian walked back and forth in the Governor's Mansion, looking very uneasy.

"My lord, I should be able to arrive this afternoon."

Hearing that Cheng Yaojin and Qin Tian would be there this afternoon, Zhang Danian finally breathed a sigh of relief. As long as they come, there may be a solution to the predicament in Luoyang City.

And just when Zhang Danian was hopeful, a yamen servant suddenly ran over in a hurry: "My lord, it's not good, the rebel army came to attack the city again, and this time there seemed to be a lot of people, more than [-]. "

"What, the rebels are coming to attack the city again?" Zhang Danian's face turned pale immediately. Since Li Yiyu's rebellion, the rebels have attacked towns everywhere. Now they have captured several counties, but Li Yiyu is very clear that the defense of the county is still too strong. Weak, if you want to be with Li Shimin, you must capture a big city, such as Luoyang City.

After capturing Luoyang City, he will have the strength to confront Li Shimin.

Therefore, after Li Yiyu's rebellion, he sent people to attack Luoyang City, but Zhang Danian organized more than 1000 government soldiers and servants to defend the city in Luoyang City, and repelled the rebels several times.

However, there were only about 2000 rebels at that time. This time, more than 1 rebels suddenly came to attack, obviously wanting to take Luoyang City directly.

Without hesitation, Zhang Danian immediately led his people to the city gate.

Xia already had a tail left. In the morning, the weather was not particularly hot, but there were still cicadas singing.

Zhang Danian came to the top of the city tower and looked down. He saw a group of rebels standing darkly outside the moat. These rebels served differently. .

They don't look like they can fight at all, and they really don't have much experience in fighting.

However, after being in contact with them a few times, Zhang Danian knew that these people should not be underestimated, because they were fighting for their lives and food.

People like this are often the most terrifying. Throughout the ages, isn't the change of dynasty all because of the weapons that some people took up in order to have enough to eat?
