20demayo Chapter 185
Chapter 185
After Yue Zhuoqun took over Xingluo Granary, he immediately opened the granary to release grain to stabilize the people's hearts.
Although Yang Guang had lost the hearts of the people for a long time, he was still the emperor to the common people.
To put it nicely, Wagang was an army that rebelled against the imperial court, and to put it bluntly, it was a traitor.
No matter how strict Yue Zhuoqun's military discipline was, the common people were still afraid of him.
It was not until this time that his reputation was spread among the people, and he gained respect and love, and attracted countless young men to join the army voluntarily.
After Yang Guang's death, many big families also sent their students to serve in Wagang.
At the end of the 14th year of Daye, the Wagang area had been managed to have a harmonious government and people, and the army was expanded to 60,000.
The transaction between Yue Zhuoqun and the Dongming Sect and Pegasus Ranch was initially reached.
Shan Wanjing sent tens of thousands of sets of armor and weapons and one hundred inland warships, and Shang Xiuxun sent 10,000 war horses.
Yue Zhuoqun divided the war horses and equipment into three legions, each of which was further divided into three camps.
The cavalry camp had 5,000 men, the navy camp had 5,000 men, and the infantry camp had 10,000 men.
After a period of training, the soldiers in the army were skilled in boats and horses and had combat capabilities. Yue Zhuoqun sent out troops again to take Luoyang.
This time he only left a small number of soldiers to guard the base camp, and all the others were sent to the front line.
Li Jing advanced along the official road, while Xu Shiji and Pei Renji attacked along the Yellow River and Luo River respectively, and approached Yanshi in front of Luoyang.
Wang Shichong heard the news and immediately sent 60,000 troops to resist.
He now has 100,000 soldiers under his command, but except for the 20,000 Jianghuai elite soldiers he brought with him, the rest of the troops were all reinforcements from various places gathered under Yang Guang's order. Their quality was uneven, and they were no match for the Wagang Army who practiced the Dragon Elephant Prajna.
Even if they had more people than the Wagang Army, they didn't last long.
In just over three months, Yanshi was defeated.
Wang Shichong could only withdraw his troops, abandon the front line, and defend Luoyang with all his strength.
In March of the second year after Yang Guang's death, the three armies of Li Jing, Xu Shiji, and Pei Renji gathered outside Luoyang.
Wang Shichong closed the city gates and refused to fight. He sent his confidants to Chang'an to seek support from Li Yuan.
Li Yuan had stabilized the situation in Chang'an and opened up the line between Chang'an and Taiyuan.
To the north was the territory of Liang Shidu, Guo Zihe, and Liu Wuzhou. Like him, these three people had reached an alliance with the Turks, so it was not easy to tear their faces apart for the time being.
To the west were the two major forces of Xue Ju and Li Gui, and since the area was to the west, he did not look down on it for the time being.
Apart from this, there were only two paths left for development.
First, crossing the Qinling Mountains to attack Hanzhong, and second, crossing Tongguan to attack Henan.
Now that Wang Shichong took the initiative to ask for help, it was an opportunity that was delivered to his doorstep. How could he let it go?
Immediately dispatch Li Shimin to lead a large army to help.
However, his actions could not be hidden from Yue Zhuoqun.
Zhu Yuyan's disciple Bai Qing'er is now beside Li Yuan. Before Li Shimin's army was dispatched, Bai Qing'er had spread the news first.
After Yue Zhuoqun learned the news, he ordered Xu Shiji to lead a large army to bypass Luoyang along the Yellow River and ambush and intercept Li Shimin on his march.
At the same time, he took the lead in entering Luoyang City with Wan Wan.
Luoyang Gang, the largest gang in Luoyang City.
Gang leader Shangguan Long was a cooperative member sent to Yinkui Sect by Xu Kaishan, the Great Ming Sect Master, and was considered half a Yinkui Sect disciple.
Yue Zhuoqun, led by Wan Wan, went straight into the Luoyang Gang headquarters.
"Meet the Saint." Shangguan Long did not dare to be rude to Wan Wan.
Kankan is called a witch and a demon by people in the martial arts world, but she is indeed considered a contemporary saint in the Yinkui Sect and even the Demon Sect.
"This is the Saint Lord!" Kankan introduced Yue Zhuoqun with a cold face.
Shangguan Long's body was shocked, and he dared not be careless anymore. He saluted respectfully: "Meet the Saint Lord."
"No need to be polite!" Yue Zhuoqun nodded and said straight to the point: "This time, I want you to lead the Luoyang gang to create chaos and cooperate with the Wagang army to open the gate of Luoyang."
"This..."
"Why, are you embarrassed?" Yue Zhuoqun narrowed his eyes and asked coldly.
Shangguan Long's expression was stiff, and he explained: "Saint Lord, you don't know that Wang Shichong is the last atom of the Daming Jiaozun sect. Do I need to ask the Jiaozun before dealing with him?"
The Daming Jiaozun is not only the title of the leader of this sect, but also the name of this sect.
The Great Ming Cult is divided into two branches: the Ming and the An. The Ming branch is headed by Shanmu and Wumingzi, who are responsible for promoting religion, while the An branch is headed by Yuanzi and the five types of demons, who are responsible for eliminating dissidents.
The Great Ming Cult Master was selected from Yuanzi.
As the last Yuanzi, Wang Shichong's status in the church is second only to the Cult Master Xu Kaishan.
Shangguan Long naturally did not dare to agree to deal with Wang Shichong rashly.
"Hmph!"
Yue Zhuoqun snorted lightly, waved his arms, and gathered a gust of wind out of thin air, sweepingShangguan Long flew several meters away.
Bang, bang, bang!
Shangguan Long took several steps back before he could stabilize his body. His pupils shrank and he exclaimed in shock: "The Root of All Laws, could it be that the Saint is also the Atom of the Daming Sect?"
The Root of All Laws, the Supreme Martial Arts of the Daming Sect, is the supreme martial arts of the sect of the Daming Sect. Only the Sect Master and the Atom are qualified to practice it.
Once this skill was performed, not to mention Shangguan Long's misunderstanding, even the eyes of Qianqian looked at him with a strange look.
Yue Zhuoqun did not explain, and said coldly: "Do you still need to ask Xu Kaishan for instructions now?"
"I dare not, I will arrange it now!"
Let alone Yue Zhuoqun is the Saint of the Demon Sect, if he is really the Atom of the Daming Sect, the Daming Sect will also be under his command in the future, so how dare he hesitate.
Shangguan Long acted quickly, and the gang members took action in Luoyang City at Yinshi that night.
Several places were set on fire, and the flames in the city illuminated the sky, and Shangguan Long personally led hundreds of gang members to attack the city gate.
Li Jing and Pei Renji, who were waiting outside the city, saw the flames rising to the sky and quickly launched an attack on the city.
Wang Shichong, who was awakened by the panic, dressed in armor and rushed to the city gate to take charge of the situation.
While stopping the soldiers from resisting the attack of the Wagang Army, he also sent some people to put out the fire. Although he was in chaos, he was still dignified and did have the appearance of a hero.
He stood on the city gate, staring coldly at Shangguan Long who was leading the gang members to attack the inner city gate below, and squinted his eyes and shouted:
"Shangguan Long, you are an enemy of me, are you betraying the Daming Sect?"
"You are wrong, I am loyal to the Daming Sect and I want to deal with you." Shangguan Long responded, waving the sword in his hand, and cut several soldiers guarding the city in half.
"Looking for death! Brother Ouyang, Linglong, go kill him."
"Okay!"
A man and a woman jumped down the wall from Wang Shichong's left and right, and approached Shangguan Long with their excellent lightness skills.
The man's name was Ouyang Xiyi, and he was Wang Shichong's best friend.
The woman's name was Linglongjiao, who was petite and beautiful, and had Hu blood.
Each of them used a long sword, and their swordsmanship was advanced and their strength was not bad.
Although Shangguan Long was ordered by Xu Kaishan to join the Yinkui Sect, he obviously did not get the core inheritance of the two sects. He could still deal with ordinary masters, but it was not enough to face the siege of two people.
After fighting for more than ten rounds, he was hit by two swords, and his body was covered by two swords, falling into a critical moment.
Suddenly, a streamer broke through the air.
The long swords of Ouyang Xiyi and Linglongjiao were wrapped up, and a strange force was pervasive. The long swords flew out of their hands uncontrollably, and blood and qi rolled.
"There are still experts!"
The two were shocked and looked along the ribbon.
They saw a handsome and beautiful man and woman standing not far away.
