    Hearing what Xu Ziling said, Xu Maogong, who had been in charge of food and military supplies when he was in Wagang, was a little embarrassed. He wondered in disbelief: "How is it possible? The soldiers guarding Wagang Dazhai are all soldiers of Wagang Dazhai, and their relatives are all from Wagang.  Living in Xingyang and Jintiguan, life and death are closely related to Wagang. How could they betray Wagang? "Kou Zhong knew Xu Maogong's embarrassment, smiled at Xu Maogong and said: "Did the military advisor forget Lang Feng's other one?  Is there any identity? On the surface, he is Wang Shichong's confidant, and at the same time he is the protector of the Ming Dynasty. Once a person is bound by the shackles of religion, he can do any crazy things." Xu Maogong suddenly remembered these two things.  During the meeting, Kou Zhong and I had been talking about Lang Feng¡¯s identity as the Dharma Protector. He reluctantly shook his head and said, ¡°I heard about it when I was traveling in the early years of the Ming Dynasty. This sect came from Persia and was a Manichean religion.  A branch whose teachings are extreme and contrary to our Central Plains culture, but it can completely stimulate the desires hidden deep in people's hearts. Once you join this religion and are confused by the teachings, you will be unable to extricate yourself. It is no wonder that these Wagang  The soldiers of this village will be sentenced to Waggang. However, the Ming Dynasty Zunjiao has always been active outside the customs, and he did not expect to have extended his influence to the Central Plains." Then he looked blank, and the muscles on his face twitched, as if he remembered it.  What shocked him? He looked around at all of us with a look of pain on his face. After a while, he took a deep breath and said to everyone: "At that time, Commander Shen had made repeated attempts to dissuade Li Mi from attacking.  Luoyang's decision. Li Mi had not been in charge of Wagang for a long time, and most of the lower-level generals were Zhai Rang's old troops. At this time, Yu Wenhuaji was defeated by Li Zitong in Yangzhou, so Commander Shen planned to ambush Yu Wenhua.  However, at this time, Wagang's army was not in good shape and the people could not support him, so it was not the best time to capture Luoyang. However, Li Mi became a little carried away after defeating Yu Wenhua.  Six old devils came out of nowhere to join him. Under the instigation of these six people, Li Mi decided to attack Luoyang regardless of the strong opposition of Military Advisor Shen. Now thinking about it, these six devils should be together.  The Ming Dynasty Zunjiao couldn't escape his involvement, so he strongly encouraged Li Mi to attack Luoyang to create an opportunity for Lang Feng to seize Luoyang." When Xu Maogong said this, everyone present was moved. Although they knew that the Ming Dynasty Zunjiao had been plotting for a long time, the plan must be perfect.  But he didn't expect such a huge conspiracy. Just the tip of the iceberg that emerged from the water has already provoked a war between the forces that separate the two places.  If I hadn't accidentally disrupted the plans of the Ming Dynasty Zunjiao for many years, maybe Lang Feng would have firmly controlled the territory of Luoyang and Wagang now.  Xu Ziling comforted: "The Ming Dynasty Zunjiao has been waiting for this opportunity for more than ten years. Maybe he also contributed a lot to the demise of the Sui Dynasty. Only when the people are suffering, the mind is the most vulnerable.  The easiest thing to be deceived is that only by firmly controlling the people's thoughts can we ensure the rapid development and growth of religion, and war is obviously the most ideal condition for this." He paused here and then continued: "  As the saying goes, a wise man will always make mistakes. Lang Feng was sure that we would pursue him, but he never expected that his elder brother could defeat the enemy without fighting. We actually captured Hulao Pass without spending a single soldier. According to Lang Feng's plan.  , we must hope that both of us and Li Mi will lose. Even if we can capture Xia Hulao Pass, we will definitely lose our troops. The remaining troops and horses cannot compete with the Luoyang troops and horses. Therefore, Lang Feng risked his identity.  He took great risks and tried to use the hands of Li Zitong, Xiao Xian, Zhu Can and others to hold us back so that we would not have the chance to develop stably. But he never thought that his eldest brother was the Lord of Tianya Hai Pavilion.  Relying on the help of "Tianya Haige", we were able to form "Langya", which is comparable to the division of dragon and tiger, and the horse thief he carefully planned became the whetstone of "Langya", strengthening Xiao Zhong's  It shows that everything is destined and beyond human control. "I smiled and said, "Lang Feng has no choice but to shoot when the arrow is on the string." Tang Xian and Shan Xiongxin swept through the horse thieves in three days.  This is undoubtedly the worst news for Lang Feng, who is in urgent need of time to arrange everything. Haha, in this case, we will let Tang Dan and the two of them have a good time, eliminate the remaining horse thieves as quickly as possible, and add another oil to Lang Feng's oil pan.  Set fire and prepare your troops to take back Luoyang!" Now that the matter has been agreed upon, Kou Zhong immediately ordered Tang Xian and Shan Xiongxin to exterminate the remaining horse thieves. The two of them lived up to expectations and killed the "Grey Beard" horse thieves with thunderous force without any suspense!  After fleeing, it only took two days to cut off the head of "Grey Beard" and return in triumph. When the army passed through Xingyang, the people came out of the city to welcome them. From then on, the vast area centered on the Hulao line in Xingyang was completely controlled.  In the hands of the young commander's army.  At the same time, I also ordered Dong Fang to actively explore the hiding places of Ming Zunjiao masters and spread the news about Kou Zhong¡¯s defeat.The secret and the news that tens of thousands of horse thieves are about to return triumphantly.  The soldiers and horses in Hulao and Xingyang also actively mobilized and looked like they were preparing to send their troops back to their nests.  This move really forced Lang Feng to a dead end, and he had to take a desperate risk. Three days after the horse thieves were exterminated, news came from "Eagle Eye" that Lang Feng suddenly led a city defense battalion of 60,000 troops to launch an attack on the palace. The city guards who protected the palace  Although the army was far inferior in number to the city defense battalion, they were all the elite of Luoyang soldiers and horses. When the battle began, they were not offered any advantage by the city defense battalion. However, there was a huge disparity in numbers. The city defense battalion did not give the city defense army the slightest rest.  Time continuously launched attacks on the palace. After three days and three nights of bloody battles, the prince was finally defeated. Wang Shichong knew that the situation was over and ordered his men to put down their weapons and surrender. However, he personally killed his wife and children and then committed suicide with a sword. In just three days,  Within a month, the Luoyang Imperial Palace changed owners twice, blood flowed like rivers, and countless lives were lost in this magnificent 'tomb'.  In this battle, 9,127 city guards died. The remaining people also committed suicide after seeing Wang Shichong commit suicide. No one in the entire army of 10,115 survived.  Although the city defense battalion won the final victory, it also paid a heavy price with 15,361 people killed in battle, more than 4,500 people seriously injured and more than 13,000 people slightly injured, and their vitality was severely damaged.  Almost every household in Luoyang wears mourning, and more than a dozen of them were killed by brothers fighting against each other. This once prosperous and bright city is now shrouded in a miserable haze.
