The eastern capital Luoyang is across from the Yellow River, which is the ancient ferry crossing of Mengjin.&*.

com Fastest update＊＊ According to legend, King Zhou of Shang ruled darkly at the end of the ninth year. In the ninth year of King Wu of Zhou, King Wu led a large army to march eastward and joined forces to join forces to fight against Zhou at the ancient ferry crossing of Mengjin to discuss the great cause of defeating Zhou. Because King Wu of Zhou believed that the time was not ripe at that time, he led troops to retreat temporarily after the alliance. In the eleventh year of King Wu of Zhou, King Zhou of Shang ruled darker. King Wu of Zhou believed that the time had come, so he joined the princes again in Mengjin, officially kicking off the prelude to the attack on Zhou of Shang.

Because King Wu met with the princes at this ferry twice, the ferry was later named Mengjin. In the 11th year of Daye, Li Yuan raised an army to paralyze Li Mi and asked him to help him hold Wang Shichong's troops so that he could go west to Guanzhong. He once showed weakness to Li Mi. That time, Li Mi replied to Li Yuan and invited Li Yuan to go south to join the alliance. However, that time, Li Yuan had no time to turn it off because his affairs were too busy.

But just one year later, in early March of the first year of the Republic, Li Yuan received an invitation from the Mongjin Alliance again. However, the invitation was no longer Li Mi, but Chen Pojun.

In the cave, a flash of light flashed in Li Yuan's eyes.

"General Zhang, do you think King Chen invited me to join the Mongjin League? Take this matter seriously?"

“It’s true.”

Li Xiuning, who was standing by, couldn't help but feel excited, "Did the Pojun arrive in Mengjin? But it's still Wang Shichong's territory now. He is so deep and dangerous, and he has never dissuaded him?"

Zhang Wei shook his head with a smile, "Dissues? No need to do so. Hanoi County is indeed Wang Shichong's territory at the moment, but Wang Shichong's current situation is not very good. In the battle of Luoyang, he was caught off guard by Li Mi and suffered huge losses. If nothing could change, all Wang Shichong's previous operations would be completed and he could only wait for death. However, Wang Shichong is not a fool. After the battle in Luoyang, he immediately sent his eldest son Wang Xuan to Ji County."

Li Shimin said a little unbelievable, "Did Wang Shichong bow his head to Chen Pojun and surrender?"

"That's true. Wang Xuan should discuss with King Chen on behalf of Wang Shichong for a long time, but the final alliance still has to be discussed with Wang Shichong in person. Therefore, there is the current Mongjin Alliance. King Chen has personally led the navy to advance west along the Yellow River and arrived at Mongjin. Wang Shichong has already gone to meet. Now King Chen is waiting for King Tang." Zhang Wei smiled and slowly expressed the recent situation in front of him.

Li Yuan was a little confused and puzzled. He was at the end of his life. It was a helpless move to surrender Chen Kefu on the surface, but although Wang Shichong failed in Luoyang, he still had nearly 200,000 troops. Even if Luoyang could not be saved, he still had several counties in Hedong, and he still had a lot of capital. Why did he suddenly form an alliance with Chen Pojun?

Zhang Wei seemed to see what Li Yuan thought, and said softly, "The world will be united for a long time, and the world will be united for a long time. //.com Novel Network// Since the seven years of Daye, the world has been chaotic for a long time. As for today, the people will be quiet, and the world will be reunified again is the general trend. Looking at it today, although there are many separatists in the world, the one who can pacify the world is King Chen. Wang Shichong was just a Hu person in the Western Regions. He was able to advance one after another by flattering the Emperor of Sui in his early years. Although he seized the opportunity several times, he had more than 100,000 elite soldiers from Jianghuai in his hand, and even took the opportunity to occupy the eastern capital Luoyang. However, in the battle of Luoyang, it was fundamentally lost, and it was just a delusion to fight for the world again. Wang Xingman was a smart man, and he knew how to choose the most right now."

"He still has more than 100,000 troops and several counties in his hand. At this time, he will have a lot of income. At least, King Chen has agreed to Wang Xingman as the position of Zheng, and the Wang family has been rich for hundreds of years. What else can he expect? Otherwise, our Hebei army, Henan Li Mi army, Shannan Yang Han army, and Guanzhong Yuwen army will be able to turn them into powder immediately."

Li Yuan nodded heavily, "But now I am surrounded by the mountain here, Yang Hing sent troops to search everywhere. How can we go down the mountain to Mengjin to meet King Chen?"

"The King of Chen had already made arrangements. The King of Tang only had to lead the people along this mountain to the east, from Hedong County to Jiang County. Jiang County is now a territory controlled by Wang Shichong. We went down the mountain in Jiangxian. Go west into Zhengping, where is the Zhuguanxing Pass, the first eight passes of Taihang. From Zhengping, along the Zhuguanxing Pass all the way to the southeast, you can cross Wangwu, Taihang, reach Jiyuan City, Henei County, and then go south along the Ji River to Mengjin."

Hearing that everything had been arranged, everyone could finally leave the cold mountains. The civil and military officials of Li Tang in the cave couldn't help but show their relaxed faces. Most of the Li Tang ministers who came from noble families fled in the mountains for a long time and were already almost desperate. At present, they could leave this damn jungle, even if they knew that even if they had left the wolf's nest, they would have to enter Chen Pojun's tiger den immediately, but no one could care about them. What they thought about now was just to leave here immediately.

Everyone looked at Li Yuan with hope, hoping that he would answer immediately.

Li Yuan swept over everyone and looked at the expectant gazes of his subordinates. He felt disappointed and relaxed again. Especially when he saw his daughter's extremely expectant and excited gaze, he felt a moment of guilt. However, when his eyes fell on the face of his son Shimin, the far left, he saw Li Shimin's hideous scar face, the frown brows, and a slight shake of his head.

Li Yuan withdrew his gaze, lowered his head and pondered for a moment, raised his head, and said to Zhang Wei with a smile, "Thank you for the good news that General Zhang brought, and thank you for lending a helping hand when we are in danger. I am very grateful. Everything that follows, but according to King Chen's order, these three thousand weak people will be handed over to General Zhang."

Zhang Wei looked at Li Yuan with his face unchanged expression and couldn't help but curse the old fox in his heart, and said loudly, "It's already dawn, everyone has been resting all night. I think it's better to set off immediately. You can get out of the damn jungle earlier."

"Yes, yes, what Special Envoy Zhang said makes sense. Let's go quickly, don't waste time. Now I don't want anything, just want to drink a pot of hot wine and take a hot hot bath." Li Yuan smiled from the side, treating Zhang Wei completely as an envoy.

After orders were passed down, Li Yuan and his son and Li Xiuning's three thousand remaining soldiers took advantage of the heavy fog in the morning and quickly left the camp and headed east.

Yellow River, Mengjin Ferry.

This ancient Yellow River ferry connecting the eastern capital Luoyang and Hedong Henei County has always been very important.

The Dongdu is located in the center of the Central Plains. The Yellow River in the north separates Henan and Hedong. The three mountains of Wangwu, Taihang and Zhongtiao Mountain are connected to each other, forming a natural boundary between Hedong and Henan. Although Hanoi County is Hedong, it actually lives in Wangwu. The plain terrain south of Taihang is a flat mountain, and is geographically closer to Hebei and the Central Plains.

Among the eight Taihang Passes, there are two channels: Zhuguan Xing and Taihang Xing in Henei County. They are important channels from the Central Plains to Jin, and the east of Henei County is connected to Ji County and Wei County in Hebei.

By walking on the Jaiguan Pass, you can go straight to the counties in the east and south of the River. By walking on the Taihang Pass, you can go straight to the Taihang and go straight to Changping County. To the east, you can go along the Taihang Mountains and into the southwest gateway of Hebei Weijun.

Moreover, as the northern barrier of the eastern capital Luoyang, close to Heyang City, close to the Yellow River, Heyang Cang, one of the six major warehouses in the world, was also built. Occupying Heyang County is equivalent to occupying the Mengjin Ferry from the Central Plains to Hedong, the two major channels of Zhuguanxing and Taihangxing, and the Heyang Cang, one of the six major warehouses in the world.

After the Battle of Luoyang, Dongdu was completely surrounded by Li Mi's army. Although he is still defending the city and more than 100,000 soldiers, the entire Luoyang has become a useless rib in Wang Shichong's eyes. It's a pity to abandon it, and it's tasteless to eat it.

If he wants to fight, he will inevitably fall into a hard battle with Li Mi. With the current offensive and defensive situation, he will only suffer. If he gives up and let Li Mi easily get Luoyang, then with his current soldiers and horses in Hedong, it will be difficult for him to resist the attack of Li Mi who is holding the power of a great victory.

He went north to fight for Taiyuan, but after Huo Yi was blocked, Wang Shichong decisively reclaimed the troops from Hedong in Hanoi County. He also sent his three sons to find a way out in three ways.

The eldest son Xuanying went to Hebei to meet Chen Kefu, the second son Xuanshu went to Jiankang, Jiangnan to meet Chen Shen, and Xuanwei went to Hedong to meet Yang Ming three times.

The three sons rushed to various places with his instructions, hoping to find a glimmer of opportunity to solve the current crisis.

It was originally helpless and Wang Shichong did not think of any hope. But the result was beyond his expectations. The three sons went quickly and returned faster.

The eldest son Xuanying was the first to bring back news from Hebei. Chen Pojun not only met Wang Xuanying in person, but after a quick meeting, he immediately took 50,000 troops to advance east along the Yellow River, and returned with his son, and stationed troops at the Mengjin Ferry.

The deputy chief and the third son followed closely behind and returned quickly.

In addition to the news brought back by the three sons and the messengers from the three families, another person also appeared unexpectedly in Hanoi City.

"King Zheng, your real enemy is Chen Pojun from Hebei." Shen Luoyan, who had just arrived suddenly, persuaded, "If you can deal with Chen Pojun with Duke Wei, it is the best way."

"I will never compromise with Li Mi," Wang Shichong replied, his tone without any objection. "Unless he gives up his king, cancels his name as Wei, submits to this king, and leads his troops to retreat from Luoyang."

"Then I won't form an alliance with him," Shen Luoyan immediately gave in. Although she was Li Mi's military advisor, it seemed that she came this time not for Li Mi. She knew that Wang Shichong, who is known as the Smiling Tiger, is actually a tough personality and strong self-esteem. Once she makes up her mind, she will have no room for revelation. "Others can also help you. Yang Ming, who is in Hedong, has a strong army and has just defeated Li Yuan. If he joins with him and deals with Chen Kefu together, it will be the best choice."

"I have once set up Yang Ming in Taiyuan. Not long ago, I took advantage of him and Li Yuan's fisherman in Hedong. He wanted to tear me apart. It would be better if I didn't attack me immediately. How could I count on his army to help me?"
