    Under Luoyang City!  Three hundred thousand troops gathered, Li Mi occupied Jinyong City in the east of Luoyang as a stronghold, and besieged Luoyang again.  This time is different from half a year ago. Luoyang suffered two consecutive defeats in just half a month, losing troops and generals. Morale is extremely low. People in Luoyang are panicked. If nothing happens, the fall may be imminent.  "Congratulations to Duke Wei! Now there are only a group of defeated soldiers left in Luoyang. As long as Duke Wei gives the order, we will be able to conquer Luoyang in one fell swoop and achieve the eternal emperor's legacy!" Pei Renji said respectfully.  Seeing that Wagang was in full swing and Luoyang was in danger, Pei Renji couldn't help but feel grateful for his original choice. If he had still followed Luoyang, Wang Bian's fate would have been his today.  "Wei Gong is so wise that he will definitely be able to unify the world and achieve eternal prosperity!" The generals were also excited, thinking that they were about to become the founding heroes of the country, and that glory and wealth were at their fingertips. How could they not be secretly happy?  Hearing the compliments from everyone, Li Mi was secretly proud of himself. The situation has changed. When he came to my house this year, when he was in exile, he never imagined that he would have the status he has today.  "The success of Mi today is all due to the support of all the generals. In the future, the world will be brought to peace, and it is determined that all generals will share the glory and wealth." Li Mi said with a bright face.  "Thank you, Lord!" The generals were delighted.  "My lord, I'm so happy!" Fang Yanzao hurried in with excitement on his face.  "What's so great about it?" Li Mi asked.  "My lord, there is news from Jiangdu that Yang Guang the tyrant is dead!" Fang Yanzao said excitedly.  "Yang Guang is dead?" Li Mi was shocked and asked in disbelief.  The generals were also in an uproar.  "How is it possible that Yang Guang is dead?" Everyone was surprised.  "Is this serious?" Li Mi's sharp eyes were full of hope.  Fang Yanzao nodded heavily, and then told what happened in Jiangducheng.  "God is really helping me!" Li Mi suddenly stood up.  "Okay!" The Wagang generals cheered.  Yang Guang passed away.  The gloom that enveloped everyone was swept away. Although everyone rebelled, there was a shadow deep in everyone's heart for Yang Guang. After all, Yang Guang's famous reputation was not earned by benevolence and righteousness.  "Yu Wenhuaji!" When everyone cheered, Li Mi softly spit out a name.  This little person who was not in his eyes at first has now taken over all Yang Guang¡¯s strength in Jiangdu, and Zhulu Tianxia now has a strong opponent.  "My lord, now that Yang Guang is dead and the world has no master, I would like to ask my lord to ascend the throne as emperor. At that time, all the heroes in the world will surely gather to respond and unify the world." Wang Bodang bowed.  The generals¡¯ eyes lit up, that¡¯s it!  Yang Guang is dead, isn't now the best opportunity?  In the expectant eyes of everyone, Li Mi shook his head: "Luoyang is right in front of us now. Our army has a sure chance of victory. Conquering Luoyang is the top priority right now. Don't mention the throne before Luoyang is conquered!"  Yang Guang died, of course Li Mi was happy.  But he was not carried away by the excitement. Luoyang was right in front of him. If he missed the opportunity to take over Luoyang because he was busy ascending the throne at this time, he would regret it for the rest of his life.  The Wagang generals thought about it and realized that they were reckless.  "My lord is wise!" The generals of Wagang were impressed.  When everyone only saw the immediate interests, Li Mi was able to remain calm, which was indeed an extraordinary person.  Li Mi nodded with satisfaction, encouraged the generals, and exchanged a hidden glance with Mr. Yin, who was standing quietly beside him.  In fact, Li Mi was already moved at that moment, and he opened his mouth to agree, but when he saw Mr. Yin shaking his head calmly, he woke up in his heart.  Fang Yanzao quietly observed this scene and couldn't help but sweat. No wonder Mr. Yin was so reused by Li Mi. In comparison, he was indeed inferior.  Frowning his brows, Fang Yanzao thought carefully and said: "Now that Yang Guang, an independent man, is dead, why don't we spread the news to Luoyang City. I believe people in Luoyang will be panicked, and capturing Luoyang will probably be easy."  Li Mi's eyes lit up and he glanced at Fang Yanzao approvingly.  "It's not enough to spread it to Luoyang. How can we not share such heart-warming news with people all over the world?" Li Mi sneered.  "What do you mean, lord?" Fang Yanzao asked.  The generals also listened attentively.  ¡°Immediately send out fast riders to spread the news throughout the world.¡± A cruel look appeared on Li Mi¡¯s face.  Among all the counties in the world, there are not many that are loyal to Yang Guang.? I believe these stubborn people will make different choices after hearing about Yang Guang¡¯s death!  "My lord is wise!" The generals' minds suddenly changed. They knew Li Mi's plan and were all impressed.  As long as Yang Guang dies, those who claim to be loyal to the emperor will have no excuses, and it will be much easier to persuade him to surrender. By then, Wagang will be able to obtain the territory of several counties out of thin air without spending a single soldier.  ¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­ ¡°Trebuchet! Dodge!¡± On the tall Luoyang city wall, the Luoyang soldiers who were waiting in full formation looked at the huge trebuchet under the city throwing a huge object and shouted loudly.  Luoyang City is high, and ordinary siege methods have little effect. Only such trebuchets can cause huge damage to the Luoyang defenders.  Based on past experience, the Luoyang guards looked for cover to escape.  "Boom!" The giant object suddenly dispersed in the air and turned into sheets of thin paper. The white paper flew all over the sky and flew in the air.  "What is this?" Huangfu Wuyi was confused.  In order to defend Wagang's attack, he had been on the city wall for several days and nights. He happened to see this scene at this moment. What Wagang's trebuchet threw was not a huge boulder, but a sky full of paper. Abnormality must be a monster. Huangfu could not  A strong doubt suddenly arose in Yi's heart.  At this time, a piece of paper leisurely spun several times in the air and floated in front of Huangfu Wuyi. Huangfu Wuyi grabbed the paper and spread it out to take a look. He felt as if he had been struck by lightning.  "The emperor is dead? How is this possible?" Huangfu Wuyi was terrified.  Immediately, Huangfu Wuyi saw the papers all over the sky falling like snow.  There were still a lot of papers floating down the wind into Luoyang City. Wagang had sinister intentions. When he put the paper in, he specifically chose the upwind direction.  Huangfu Wuyi instantly thought of Li Mi's conspiracy. Regardless of whether the news was true or false, if everyone in Luoyang knew about Yang Guang's death, people would definitely be in chaos. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but said anxiously: "Pass my military order, all officers and men must not  Look at the content on the paper. Collect the paper immediately. "Yes!" A large number of soldiers followed the order.  The paper can be scattered in the wind.  The soldiers tried their best to collect it, but there was still a large amount of paper flying to thousands of households in Luoyang City.  After a while, Huangfu Wuyi was piled with papers as high as a hill, and Huangfu Wuyi stretched out the torch in his hand.  The paper burst into flames.  The flames shot out three feet high.  The fire is burning.  There was a slight crackling sound, but other than that, all the soldiers were silent.  Everyone stared at Huangfu Wuyi silently. It was obvious that during the process of collecting the papers, many people had secretly read the contents.  Huangfu Wuyi slowly raised his head, his eyes becoming more and more scarlet under the light of the fire, and said in a deep voice: "General, do you know what you want to ask? To be honest, I don't know whether the content on this paper is true or false, regardless of whether it is true or false.  Whether the news is true or not, Li Mi's purpose is to make you feel confused and take the opportunity to capture Luoyang. Do you want Li Mi's traitorous conspiracy to succeed?" All the soldiers shook their heads slowly.  "From now on, all soldiers will remain in uniform, and the number of patrol soldiers will be doubled. We must defend Luoyang City." Huangfu Wuyi shouted.  "Yes!" All the soldiers shouted and immediately stood firm at their posts.  After Huangfu Wuyi made repeated inspections, he felt a little relieved and hurried to Luoyang Palace. He believed that there must be news of such a big movement in the palace.  At this moment, rumors were flying all over the city of Luoyang, and a large number of soldiers were collecting papers all over the city. How could such a big movement go unnoticed? Even so, there were still many fish that slipped through the net.  At this moment, the news of Yang Guang's death has spread in Luoyang City. Although the citizens of Luoyang are shocked and suspicious, they are not sure whether the news is true or false.  But even if it is true, the citizens of Luoyang don't care, because Luoyang City is besieged again, and the price of rice in the city has increased sharply, reaching as high as 3,000 yuan per dou of rice, and there is still no market price.  The citizens of Luoyang were on the verge of starvation and life and death. Their own life and death were precarious. How could they care about the emperor's life and death?  The papers all over the sky dance with the cold wind, as if they are peerless dancers, like elves in the wind, looking for the most beautiful stage.  Some papers choose broad streets, and some papers choose wealthy families, but there is a special paper that is unwilling to sink. She has to find the most perfect place to end her flight in the limited flight time.  trip.  Suddenly she saw a beautiful palace, which was magnificent and resplendent. Isn't this her ideal place?  This piece of paper danced in the air with all its strength, and finally reached the top of the palace, and rushed towards the most magnificent palace.Here is the stage that truly belongs to her, and she is destined to show her unique dancing skills on this supreme stage.  "Hoo!" A gust of cold wind howled.  The paper quietly floated into the palace on the wind, made a graceful 360-degree turn, and slowly fell, ending its short life.  However, her curtain call set off an endless storm in the imperial city!  Xia Hongye was originally a wealthy businessman in Luoyang. His family had a fortune of tens of millions. Although he had money, his status was low. He was usually most envious of the merchants in Daxing City who had gold orders on behalf of the king.  However, an opportunity to change his destiny was placed in front of him. In order to raise military expenses, Yang Tong actually ordered that as long as he paid the money, he could be awarded an official position.  Although it was a false title with no real power, Xia Hongye did not hesitate at all and immediately took out 100,000 yuan from the Imperial Bank and donated it to a fifth-rank official.  Today is the first time that Xia Hongye goes to court. He is thinking secretly in his heart: "What should I do to make it look like I come to court often? Will other officials laugh at me? What should I do to give full play to my talents and let hundreds of people come to court?"  The official values ??it, but the King of Yue appreciates it?" Thinking of this, Xia Hongye couldn't help but feel ashamed. He lowered his head, glanced out of the corner of his eye and saw the paper at his feet, and his body couldn't help but tremble.  "The emperor has passed away!" Xia Hongye cried out sadly, holding paper in his hand, and rushed in front of the ministers. At this moment, he was attracting everyone's attention. At this moment, Huangfu Wuyi happened to rush to the door of the palace.  "Boom!" It was like a nuclear explosion ignited in Luoyang City. Although the government tried its best to argue that this was Li Mi's trick, the story of the incident was written clearly on Li Mi's leaflet, and every link was perfectly connected.  It's hard to believe.  "This is impossible?" Yang Tong ran away.  He could not accept the news. Yang Guang had always been his biggest support. Even if Luoyang City was defeated twice, Yang Tong was not panicked now.  "This is impossible?" Yang Tong shook his head.  At this moment, all the officials have retired, leaving only the "Seven Nobles" of Luoyang for future generations.  "Your Highness, do you want to be prepared?" Huangfu Wuyi asked worriedly.  In their hearts, they already believe 80% of the news. This news cannot be concealed and will be confirmed soon. It is impossible for Li Mi to lie in this place.  The other six nobles were also silent. In their hearts, they all believed that this matter was mostly true. After all, they all knew the situation in Jiangdu and the possibility of unrest was extremely high.  "Grandpa Huang?" Yang Tong burst into tears.  The seven nobles also shed tears one after another, and the whole hall was filled with sadness.  After a long time, everyone stopped.  "Your Highness, regardless of whether it is true or not at this time, our most urgent task is to defend Luoyang City! We cannot let Li Mi's sinister intentions succeed." Wang Shichong said indignantly.  Wang Shichong had previously stationed in Hanjiacang, but now Luoyang was in danger, so he returned to Luoyang to defend Luoyang.  Qi Gui nodded.  "But now Luoyang City is in danger, and it won't last long?" Yang Tong choked with sobs.  Wang Shichong and Duan Da couldn't help but feel embarrassed. The biggest reason why Luoyang is in today's tragic situation is because of them. Due to the sympathy of each other, the two have recently become very close, and even have a tacit understanding of helping each other.  "For the current plan, the only way is to turn to Daxing City for help?" Duan Da said bravely.  "Asking for help from Daxing City?" Yang Tong's face felt embarrassed. He had already bowed his head to Yang You, but there was no response yet.  "Pang Yu and Huo Shiju deserve to be damned. They didn't listen to orders. My general has sent dozens of orders to Xin'an Company to mobilize troops, but they ignored them. They even said they were waiting for orders from Daxing City. They are all the army of the empire.  Could it be that Luoyang City cannot mobilize the soldiers and horses of Daxing City?" Wang Shichong said angrily.  In order to divert Yang Tong's anger, he and Duan Da have been using Pang Yu and Huo Shiju as shields recently. Compared to Wang Shichong's arrogance, Yang Tong's arrogance and defiance are more irritating to Yang Tong.  Yang Tong and the ministers in Luoyang were also full of anger, but they didn't want to think about how many soldiers and horses these pig teammates in Luoyang had trapped, who would be willing to jump into this bottomless pit.  "Summon Tian Xiu, the head of the Ministry of Civil Affairs!" Yang Tong ordered.  Tian Xiu is the representative of Daxing City stationed in Luoyang and the spokesperson of Daxing City. At the same time, some of the materials that Daxing City assists Luoyang must be distributed through Tian Xiu. It can be said that Tian Xiu's status in Luoyang City is extremely transcendent.  Now that Wei Jin is dead in battle, if Tian Xiu can continue to get materials from Daxing City, even if he asks to be appointed as the Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, the officials in Luoyang will not have the slightest objection.  (To be continued)
