When Li Huai and Guo Chen were sitting across from each other and talking about the affairs of the imperial court, many soldiers and horses on the front line received news one after another that Guan Zhishan was defeated and captured.

At the beginning, everyone was shocked and doubtful. Even those who knew the name of Marquis Dingxiang and had expectations for him did not dare to believe it.

However, more and more news came later, which continuously confirmed the situation from various angles, so that while the major garrisons were frightened, they also understood that this was not a lie, and many disturbances followed.

You must know that except for a small part of the generals on the front line who have been promoted from the military, most of them are from martial arts families. They are either the sons of this prince, that earl, or many generals from poor families.

It is also by clinging to the bloodline of the nobles that they can secure their position. After all, they stay within the circle of nobles, so that no matter what these people think about the Dingxiang Marquis, their interests are naturally the same.

So when the news was confirmed, all the armies sent out their troops and horses, rushing straight to the pass, eager to tell the people behind the news.

Soon, the inns along the way became busy, and a restless and fanatical mood followed the batches of riders carrying news from the front line, gathering towards the imperial capital.

On the other hand, the Yongchang Army's spies and message riders were the ones who got the news faster than the soldiers and horses from all sides, and even delivered it a few minutes faster, so that some spared no effort and no regard for losses to deliver it.

"I have to kill countless fast horses along the way to get this news across!"

In Luoyang City, in the residence temporarily commandeered by Marquis Yongchang, the masked Mr. Mo He looked at the information in his hand, his eyes widened, and he took a deep breath after listening to the report of the person in his ear.

Then, he closed the information, closed his eyes, and did not speak for a while, apparently to calm down the emotions in his chest.

Seeing him like this, the others held their breath and did not dare to speak casually.

After a while, Mo He calmed down again and said in a deep voice: "Our intelligence network is not perfect enough, and the communication system along the way has not been established. After all, we are newly occupying Luoyang. On the surface, we have obtained land and population.

However, many wealthy families did not cooperate. They just did not want to get into trouble, so they remained silent. The land under their names was not dared to be touched by the marquis at will. The inns originally built by the imperial court were also damaged a lot. For various reasons, a

It would be too labor-intensive and time-consuming to even get the news across. If we get the news here, I'm afraid even Guanzhong in the imperial court already knows about it!"

The others nodded repeatedly.

"Back to this information, the situation is very urgent right now! Guan Zhishan's attack is supposed to be foolproof. Even if there are good or bad losses, he should not fall into it. To say the least, with his ability, even if it is the worst

In such a situation, there should be a way out, but not only was he captured, but Cai Bing and others were also captured. I'm afraid the Forbidden Army has set up a very big net!"

Listening to Mo He's words, a subordinate whispered: "I heard that the Forbidden Army general he belongs to is not special. He has suffered a few defeats before, but he is still somewhat capable. He united with the local powerful families and managed to hold on to the situation.

, it was not broken through, and the situation was reversed with the help of a team of envoys sent by the imperial court. Among the envoys was the Marquis of Dingxiang!"

"Marquis Dingxiang..."

Chewing these three words, Mo He's eyes showed a complex look of reminiscence, but he soon regained his clarity and became more determined. He said: "Guan Zhishan heard that Dingxiang Marquis was coming in person, so he ignored the dissuasion and went to the hospital in person.

Heading to the front line, it now seems that his worries were correct. Unfortunately, even he underestimated the ability of the Dingxiang Marquis. In this case, we must not repeat the same mistakes and must be prepared for the worst!

"

One of his subordinates asked what to do and whether to inform the prince first.

"The monarch must report it. After all, Luoyang is one of the foundations. The others, whether it is connecting the north and south, or conquering the east, are just branches and leaves extending out. If this foundation is unstable and shaken,

The branches and leaves that extend out will become a tree without roots, which will not last long! So while informing the princes, we must ensure that Luoyang is not lost!"

When Mo He spoke, his eyes showed color, and his tone became more and more serious. Then he issued an order for many officers to disperse and summon several important generals.

There were not many generals summoned, no more than ten in total.

"You are all your most trusted confidants and the pillars of our army. Except for the few generals who lead the army outside, the entire Luoyang depends on you for support. Now there is news here that I want to inform you..."

Seeing everyone, Mo He did not hesitate and directly spread the news to everyone, and then informed several people of the news he got.

As expected by Mo He, the generals who heard the news didn't believe it at first. After repeated confirmations, all of them had gloomy faces, and some even turned pale, obviously thinking of some terrible consequences.

"Isn't Military Master Guan a match for Marquis Dingxiang?"

"This is really troublesome. Why is it so fast? Even if the military advisor is invincible, it shouldn't be so fast, and why is it so fast?"

"The bigger problem is that the prince is away on an expedition, and it is not easy to report it!"

…

Listening to everyone's words, Mo He remained silent at first. After everyone had spoken once and quieted down, he spoke: "About this, the Lord has already prepared for this, so he left the token and the order.

It's enough for us to act cheaply! The capture of Guan Zhishan not only destroyed the morale of our army, but also exposed our army to danger. Most of the current battle situation was caused by Guan Zhishan. He only needed to reveal a little

, is enough to bring disaster to the entire Luoyang garrison!"

The others immediately understood the key and became nervous.

"The defenses are intertwined, and several armies have stationed troops in various places. With the help of the favorable geographical location and the supplies from Luoyang, they can confront the imperial army and the vassal army, maintain the balance of power, gain time and space, and allow our army to deploy. Now that one army has been defeated, the entire defense circle has collapsed.

If there is a loophole, it is time to use the originally prepared plan to mobilize nearby troops and horses to switch defenses to make up for the loophole, and other troops and horses must also change accordingly. It is a complex set of maneuvers that I cannot do alone. I hope you all can do it.

Help..."
