"Greetings to His Highness the King of Qin!"

"Second brother!"

Qu Tutong, Li Yuanji and his two fists bowed to Li Shimin who had returned from Yanshi's front line. Li Yuanji was very affectionate and changed his previous cold attitude towards Li Shimin. Other ministers such as Yu Wenhua and Feng Deyi all paid homage to Li Shimin on the side.

Li Yuanji smiled and said, "Congratulations to the second brother for becoming Situ, this is the third Duke!"

Li Shimin smiled and said, "I can be promoted to Situ, but the soldiers are fighting hard. If you don't have your efforts, how could I be promoted to the Three Dukes?"

Li Yuanji looked surprised. He thought that Li Shimin would look dejected when he was transferred back from the front line of Hulao Pass, but he didn't expect that Li Shimin was so peaceful, which made him feel uncomfortable.

Qu Tutong: "It's a pity that if the Zhao army had not aided Zheng this time, our army would have captured Luoyang in one battle, captured Wang Shichong alive, and made unparalleled achievements. But now it's a little short of it."

Li Shimin said: "How can we do it perfectly? This time our army has captured more than 70 states of Wang Shichong. Most of the land in Henan has been flat. Why care about a mere ruined Luoyang? If someone wants it, it will be given to it. Anyway, Luoyang is just around the corner and cannot run away. We can come back and take it back at any time in the future. Everything can be accomplished with hope in one go. Wouldn't it seem that we are too lazy?"

When everyone heard Li Shimin say this, they couldn't help laughing. The generals said in their hearts that the King of Qin really had the spirit of a general, and this indifferent demeanor of gains and losses was really heartbreaking.

Li Shimin looked at Li Yuanji and smiled and said, "After returning to the court this time, the next time he attacked Luoyang, my father will rely on you, King Qi."

Seeing Li Shimin telling his thoughts in one sentence, Li Yuanji hurriedly said, "What's the matter with my second brother? I have to rely on you."

Li Shimin smiled and said, "Don't the King of Qi want to make such a life-long contribution? It seems that in the future, I can only recommend others in front of my father."

"This." Li Yuanji was speechless for a moment.

"Report to His Highness the King of Qin that Heyang has been captured by Zhao Army General Xu Shiji and the Navy Chief Cheng Mingzhen, and five hundred defenders have been wiped out!" A cavalry hurriedly came to report.

Li Shimin heard this and suddenly lost his expression and was silent for a long time.

Qu Tu Channel: "Heyang is just a small city, why should the King of Qin worry?"

Li Shimin said: "I am not worried about this. It's because Li Chongjiu's intention is really dead in Luoyang!"

Under Luoyang City, the Zhao army was in a strict and neat manner.

Wang Shichong was worried, and suddenly heard cheers from all sides.

Wang Shichong couldn't help but say angrily: "Who is making noise?"

Yang Gongqing, the general on the side, reported: "Your Majesty, the soldiers were crying with joy when they saw the Tang army withdraw!"

It turned out that the Zheng army soldiers on the top of the city, who did not know Wang Shichong's worries at this moment, all raised their guns and cheered. The Zhao army arrived. The Tang army was forced to retreat, and the siege of Luoyang had been lifted. The Zheng army, who had been defending Luoyang for three months, finally won the victory of the Luoyang defense battle. Many of the Zheng army soldiers who were hungry on the top of the city hugged their heads and cried bitterly.

Seeing this scene, Wang Shichong said, "When you have not yet relaxed, you will send an order down. No noise is allowed on the top of the city. Those who violate the order will be killed!"

At this moment, a group of cavalry rushed to the city.

Wang Shichong shouted, "Prepare the crossbow immediately!" Behind the city wall, the Zheng soldiers all prepared the crossbows and secretly aimed at the Zhao army under the city from the battlements.

"I dare to ask if His Majesty Zheng is on the city?" A general under the city shouted to the top of the city.

Wang Shichong did not show up but gave a wink at Yang Gongqing. Yang Gongqing understood that he was standing in front of the battlements and said to the Zhao cavalry under the city: "Master Zheng is not at the top of the city, how dare you ask if there is anything?"

"I am Li Wenxiang, the general of Zhao army, and I come to deliver food on your order!"

Listening to the other party's words, Wang Shichong and Yang Gongqing on the top of the city were both surprised. Not only did Li Chongjiu not only had no intention of attacking Luoyang, but he also sent people to deliver food to solve the food crisis in Luoyang City. This was simply a timely help. Even Wang Shichong thought to himself that perhaps he was too suspicious and wronged King Zhao.

Li Wen drove his horse to the city and came to the range of Zheng's crossbows. But after seeing the stent, Zheng's crossbows were lying behind him. Li Wen knew it well, but he still pretended not to know and drove the horse forward until the city gate.

Li Wen raised his head and said, "Who are you?"

"I'm Gongqing Yang!"

After hearing this, Li Wenxiang smiled and said, "It turned out to be Brother Yang! When we were under the command of Pushan Gong, our brothers had drunk wine together. Have you forgotten?"

Why didn’t Yang Gongqing know Li Wenxiang? At that time, both of them were rebelling against the king. Yang Gongqing and Zhang Jin said that the uprising was near the canal. Li Wenxiang was close to the Yellow River, and then the two families surrendered Li Mi. After Li Mi’s defeat, Yang Gongqing, Shan Xiongxin and others surrendered Wang Shichong. Li Wen did not cross the Yellow River for a while and stayed on the north bank of the Yellow River, so he surrendered Dou Jiande.

Both of them are now their own masters. Yang Gongqing clasped his fists and said, "It turns out it's Brother Li, I'm just my younger brother, I'm so embarrassed."

Li Wen smiled and said, "What's this? Now the Zheng and Zhao alliance are all one family. Let's open the city gate quickly! Our grain trucks are all outside, so the brothers in the city are looking forward to it so hard!"

Yang Gongqing looked at it but saw Zhao soldiers outside the city pushing chicken buses toward Luoyang city gates in a steady stream. Each chicken bus was full of food and grass. Many Zheng Jun was rumbling when he looked at the food and grass bags.

Yang Gongqing said to Wang Shichong: "Your Majesty, I think this should not be a fraud!"

Wang Shichong licked his tongue. Luoyang had been out of food for half a month. If there were such a batch of food and grass, it would indeed be able to relieve the crisis. Wang Shichong looked at the city, but saw that there were only two or three hundred cavalrymen in the Zhao army, which was not a threat to the city gate at all.

Wang Shichong said at the moment: "Brothers have been hungry for several days. Let's eat your stomach first."

Yang Gongqing nodded and immediately stepped onto the city wall and said to Li Wenxiang under the city: "Then we will be disrespectful. Thank you for your kindness to King Zhao!"

Li Wenxiang said heroically: "It's all my brothers, why are you polite!"

Wang Shichong ordered people to open the city gate, but Wang Shichong was still careful and opened the city gate half. Zhao Jun soldiers pushed the chicken bus straight into the city. Wang Shichong was relieved but went down to the city himself and ordered people to stop a chicken bus. Wang Shichong pulled out the knife and inserted it into the grain bag on the car, and white rice as good as white sand leaked out of the grain bag.

When Wang Shichong saw it, his eyes were slightly wet. After several months of besieging the city, he finally saw the full rice. The Zheng soldiers beside him looked at the rice in a daze, and he couldn't turn around.

At this time, all the people came from the city, but it was the general under Wang Shichong, Shan Xiongxin and his subordinates.

When Wang Shichong saw Shan Xiongxin coming, he suspected: "Aren't you patrolling the north of the city? Why are you here?"

Shan Xiongxin got off the horse and clasped his fists and said, "Your Majesty, I'm relieved when I heard that Zhao's army came to the city, so I'm very worried, so I'll lead my troops to supervise!"

After hearing this, Wang Shichong was puzzled and couldn't help but say happily: "I am really worthy of being my confidant general. It's not bad, it's good to have more thoughtfulness."

As soon as Wang Shichong finished speaking, a sudden thunder came from the city gate.

Wang Shichong pressed his sword and immediately stepped forward quickly, while Shan Xiongxin and Yang Gongqing followed closely behind Wang Shichong.

Several Zhao army soldiers and Zheng army soldiers quarreled at the city gate. Wang Shichong saw a Zhao army rooster bus, which dropped the wheels and blocked it at the city gate. He immediately shouted: "Catch them all!"

Several Zhao army and Zheng army who caused the accident arrested each other, and Wang Shichong shouted: "What's going on?"

The soldiers of Zhao Jun said immediately: "Your Majesty, we don't know what's going on. It's just that your people, when they see the rice in my car, went up to grab it. I don't understand. Why is this rice for you to eat sooner or later...?"

"Nonsense," the soldiers of Zheng's side cursed, "I don't."

Wang Shichong shook his hand gently. He had been in war for many years and had experienced many storms. He suddenly thought about why the rooster bus had not been broken or late, but it was broken at the gate of the city. The soldiers of the Zhao army knew that they were the emperor of Zheng, but they did not feel afraid at all. Instead, they talked freely.

"Not good!" Wang Shichong shouted, and was about to pull out the knife, but he found that his right hand was firmly grasped.

The other party's palm was very strong, and he was unable to draw the knife at all. Wang Shichong looked at him with his eyes on fire. The other party was Shan Xiongxin. Wang Shichong looked at Shan Xiongxin and said angrily: "What are you going to do?"

As soon as Wang Shichong finished speaking, his personal soldiers at the city gate had a bad consciousness and also went to touch the knife. However, at this time, Shan Xiongxin's soldiers on the side and Zhao soldiers who were pushing a cart into the city attacked each other and drew their swords to chop the Zheng soldiers.

"Shan Xiongxin, are you betraying me?" Wang Shichong's eyes widened.

Shan Xiongxin looked at Wang Shichong with a squinted look and said coldly: "You have been angry and resentful. If you don't betray you, you will betray your conscience."

During the conversation between Shan Xiongxin and Wang Shichong, there was already blood in the city gate. Zheng Army General Yang Gongqing took the lead in reacting, drew his sword to defend himself and shouted: "Shan Xiongxin is rebelling!"

After the words came, Yang Gongqing was stabbed in from behind by the Zhao army soldiers behind him, and the tip of the knife came out of his abdomen.

Poor Yang Gongqing died at the hands of the unknown man without performing his martial arts. He showed an unwilling look and immediately bleeded blood and fell down. Shan Xiongxin's three hundred soldiers rushed out to the Zheng army soldiers on the side.

Fighting inside the city gate was a whole, and more than a dozen Zhao troops pushed open the other half of the gate. Li Wen outside the city pushed his mount and led his cavalry straight to the Luoyang city gate.

The Zheng soldiers on the top of the city were already panicked. Although they tried their best to shoot arrows on the top of the city and shot 20 to 30 cavalrymen who were robbing the city gate, Li Wenxiang still led more than 200 cavalry to break into the city gate.

At the same time, inside the Yongtong Gate of Luoyang, the Zhao army should also attack, and opened the city gate and let the Zhao army cavalry outside the city enter the city. Zhao army general Luo Shixin led a thousand cavalry into Luoyang City. Guo Shancai, the garrison general of the Zheng army of Yongtong Gate, was killed by Luo Shixin at the city gate, and his body was stepped into meat paste by war horses.

Wang Shichong was accidentally captured in Shangchun Gate, and Zheng Jun in Luoyang City was immediately in a state of being headless.
