Wu Fan didn't care at all about the fifth and sixth eunuchs of Gao Ming and Gao Liang. The huge gap in status alone meant that they would not be able to get on the stage, and they could only act as executors and obey orders. There is also a gap in identity between Wei Xuan and Fan Zigai and Wu Fan, but they can make up for this gap through decades of accumulation of reputation, thus reaching the level of equal dialogue. This means that Wei Xuan and Fan Zigai may point fingers at Wu Fan at any time, interfere with, restrict, or question any of Wu Fan's actions. However, Wu Fan could not forcefully suppress Wei and Fan. First of all, they held an army of more than 50,000 people in total. They were stronger than him in terms of soldiers and horses, and their physical strength was even greater. Secondly, it is harmful to your reputation. People these days are all talking about "name". It is precisely because they are the leaders in this way. They may give you comments such as "arrogant and domineering", "intolerable", "jealous of talents and talents", etc. How to play in the future? Who dares to defect to you? The most frightening thing is that if the Emperor gets a black record and says that he has evil intentions or something, it will be really painful to think about it. Except for this. How did Wei Xuan and Fan Zigai come here? "You were summoned by Right Prime Minister Cui Shi!" Wu Fan is different from them and cannot urinate into a pot. Wu Fan asked Huang Men'er to get a map of the surrounding areas of Luoyang City. After thinking about it briefly, he told Wei Xuan, Fan Zigai, Gao Ming and Gao Liang about the current situation. "Yang Xuangan's army has increased to about 160,000 people, with more than 20,000 cavalry, and the rest are infantry. There are about 200,000 civilians and others. The specific statistics cannot be determined. In Hebei and Shandong, a steady stream of refugees come to his place every day. "Begging for food." Wu Fan said: "When I rushed back from Yangzhou, the gateway to Ping County in the north of Luoyang was already destroyed. Yang Xuangan plundered millions of tons of grain sent to Liaodong from the Grand Canal and stored it there for protection." After explaining the general strength of the troops, Wu Fan continued: "The important figures in Yang Xuangan's armythe Hongnong Yang family naturally supported him. They helped with their families early and dissipated the wealth accumulated over hundreds of years. Chang'an Li family. Pu Li Mi, the son of the monkey Li Kuan, was Yang Xuangan's mastermind. I have met this man and heard of him. He was indeed a figure. Wang Bodang, Li Mi's student, Han Shi'e, the son of General Han Qinhu, Yang Xuanzang, and Yang Wanshuo. , Huben Lang general Wang Zhongbo, etc. formed Yang Xuangan's general camp, especially Han Shi'e, who had Han Qinhu's private army of five thousand, which was extremely elite and dangerous, as well as Zhao Huaiyi, the former prefect of Jijun, and Yuanwu, the former Wei of Dongguang County. I am a civil servant of Yang Xuangan Generally speaking, most of them are from restless families." Wu Fan sipped the hot tea and did not continue. ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? The old god Wei Wensheng looks so present, I don¡¯t know if he hears it or not, but he doesn¡¯t move at all. Fan Zigai seemed concerned and asked, "I wonder what the situation is like for our army?" Wu Fan took a deep breath. Said: "Your Majesty went on an expedition to Goguryeo and transferred all the Qianniu Guards, part of the Jinwu Guards, Yulin Guards, and Xiaoqi Guards, leaving behind well, more than 33,000 people. Some days ago, Gao Zhizhi, Shen Xuanshi, and Wang Wenjin were there. An old minister of Nanliang was stirring up trouble. I temporarily led 10,000 knights and my own 4,000 private troops to fight. After a round of maneuvers, I came back with more than 2,000 people missing. The reason why Yang Xuangan did not dare to attack for several days was because he lacked siege equipment. Secondly, I ordered my subordinates to sneak out of the city every night and pretend to be reinforcements in the morning under the banner of the patron king, which frightened him. " Fan Zigai nodded. He praised: "The general has a good strategy." Wu Fan rolled his eyes and said with a smile: "It's a last resort!" After a pause, he said: "Before Duke Wei and Duke Fan came, my troops were in a pinch, so I decided to use that' The soldiers and horses who came out of nowhere to defend the city led 20,000 cavalry out of the city to fight Yang Xuangan. Now, the 60,000 soldiers and horses you brought can guarantee that Luoyang will be safe!" Wei Xuan finally spoke and said, "If the general goes out to fight, Yang Xuangan, don¡¯t know where to set up camp?¡± Wu Fan looked down at the map, pointed his finger, and said with a smile, ¡°Of course it¡¯s Yanshi.¡± Wei Xuan asked, ¡°Why?¡± Wu Fan said with a smile, ¡°It¡¯s a very clear choice, Yang Xuangan. Attacking Luoyang was a stupid idea in itself, and even more so after occupying Ping County, he pushed himself into a dead end! Luoyang City is highly defended, and even if he simply attacks and I defend, it will be difficult to defeat him with his hundreds of thousands of troops. Next, I am preparing to attack and use cavalry to contain him. If he cannot defeat Luoyang, Yang Xuangan will have to retreat. Where to go? Xingyang to the east is the best choice, because there is the patron king of Hanoi to the north, and Pei Zhengxi to the west. Xingyang has the world's leading granary and a strategic location that radiates to all directions We have stationed troopsMaster, just cut off his path. " Wei Xuan said with emotion: "I heard the rumors about the 'God-given general' It's true! ", first praised Wu Fan, and then the old guy casually threw him a difficult question: "Now that the bandits are approaching the city, the people are panicking. Only a general with majesty like a mountain can guard Luoyang. If you lead the troops out, wouldn't you lose your backbone? Already? In my opinion, why not let Hua Zong go? " Now that Luoyang is no longer his own, Wu Fan changes his mind and is no longer ready to stick to this one. He wants to leave the city and command the army outside turning the troops that do not belong to him into soldiers that belong to him. Ma! But Wei Xuan didn't know if he was aware of Wu Fan's intentions, so he immediately tried to trip up Ma Suo, and silently cursed the old man. After a while, Wu Fan shook his head and said rather self-deprecatingly: "Gong Wei is making it difficult for me! In terms of fame, you are far better than me. If you are sitting in Luoyang, who can criticize you or cause chaos? Talking about experience Alas! Although I conquered east and west, fought south and north, and won no battles, I really had no experience in defending a city. I had never even used infantry. I had always used cavalry in cavalry battles, raids, raids, etc. Night raids and so on. Besides, Cui Gong fell down unexpectedly. All the government affairs made me feel dizzy, and he was still squeezed there without moving! ", he said half-jokingly: "My lord, my lord, if you please, please take over this stall! " Wu Fan almost begged to pass the blame, and finally added: "How about it? Could you please ask the Queen for her opinion? " Wei Xuan looked deeply at Wu Fan and said, "Okay! " Soon. Queen Ma and the little prince came forward. Wu Fan told Queen Ma exactly what he said. Queen Ma's first reaction was hesitation. Wu Fan was here, and she felt very safe. Instead of the unfamiliar Wei Xuan and Fan Zi That was different. Wu Fan secretly winked and Queen Ma agreed. At this time, Wei Xuan asked, "The general wants to lead 20,000 troops. Where will they come from?" Wu Fan smiled and said, "Among the ten thousand fine cavalry I brought back from Yangzhou, there are ten thousand cavalry dispatched from Pei Zhengxi under the command of Duke Wei!" " Wei Xuan nodded and said: "Okay! " (To be continued.)
