The Tang army was divided into several columns and marched rapidly to the east.

Yang Xi moved with the front army and made new arrangements at any time according to the situation. Pang Zhong led the forward 20,000 troops, keeping a distance of about one mile from the 20,000 troops led by Yang Xi himself, and was responsible for the vigilance and advance guard of the entire army.

The mission has almost arrived near Luoyang. They may be intercepted by a large group of rebels at any time. Neither Yang Xi nor Pang Zhong dare to be careless or slack.

All members of the special operations team were dispatched. Yang Xi asked them to devote all their energy to the battle and not give the rebels any opportunities to take advantage of. He told the leaders Li Han and Liu Feng that even if

After all the troops and horses were destroyed, we still needed to investigate, detect, and block the rebels' sneak attacks.

According to Yang Xi's opinion, this attack on Luoyang should be the last large-scale military attack on the rebels. After this battle, the rebellion can almost be quelled. The scale of the remaining battles cannot be large, and he does not even have to be involved.

To take charge, other generals may only need to take charge of subsequent nest chaos missions. In the last large-scale battle, everything must be put on the line, trying every means to give the opponent a fatal blow, and at the same time, try to avoid being plotted by the opponent.

, sneak attack to avoid heavy losses.

Yang Xi never felt that there was some unexplainable force protecting him. He could give his opponents a sudden blow, and the rebels were also likely to give him the same counterattack. He could not tolerate such a situation.

Therefore, he was not in a hurry to reach Luoyang City quickly, but tried to be as stable as possible and not give the other party an opportunity to take advantage of it, so as not to waste all his previous efforts.

"Report to Marshal Yang that our vanguard has arrived a hundred miles away from Luoyang, and no large-scale rebels have been found!" A sergeant quickly ran to Yang Xi and reported the latest situation.

"Got it!" Yang Xile stopped his mount, checked the situation ahead, and then issued his new order, "Instruct General Pang to postpone the march and prepare to set up camp."

It was only about a hundred miles away from Luoyang, and it was only about two days' journey. It could also be said that he had to be even more careful when he entered the range of the rebels in Luoyang City.

Where did Yan Zhenqing, Cheng Qianli, Helan Jinming and other troops march to? He hoped that these troops from the north and south would arrive near Luoyang at about the same time as him, so that he could

This leaves the rebels unable to deploy heavy troops to deal with which side. If he and his troops rush into Luoyang quickly, the Luoyang rebels who have already taken adequate precautions will probably concentrate their superior forces and deliver such a severe blow. In this case, they may not be able to cope with it.

Come here, after all, the current rebels are not defenseless, and their combat effectiveness is also good. In a frontal field battle, the men and horses he leads may not be able to withstand it.

If people and horses from several directions are approaching Luoyang, then the rebels will not dare to make all-out attacks and focus on attacking in a certain direction.

What's more, now Yang Xi also has another thought, which is to try not to let himself take risks to avoid accidents.

He knew that the eunuch Li Fuguo who was in charge of the army, although he kept a low profile now, did not dare to compete with him, the leading marshal who was shrouded in countless auras. But Li Fuguo was paying attention to his every move. If any unexpected situation occurred, this person would definitely

He would immediately make a move to the court, and Prince Li Heng of Chang'an would also take the opportunity to advise Li Longji. Li Longji, who was already worried about his growing reputation, might give him another blow, which would be troublesome.

Since the rebels do not want to abandon Luoyang. Even Fan Yang has given up and does not want to abandon Luoyang, then under the current circumstances, they will definitely not escape from Luoyang. In this case, why should they be anxious?

It may be better to move slowly and gradually increase the pressure on the rebels.

After the order was conveyed, Yang Xi also ordered the troops he led to stop advancing and prepare to set up camp.

Yang Xi then also sent an order, ordering Pang Zhong, Gao Shi and other major generals to go to his tent to discuss the military situation after setting up camp.

While Yang Xi was ordering the sergeants to set up camp, several situation reports came to him one after another.

Several were sent by people from Guo Ziyi and Li Guangbi's department, another was urgently sent by people from Yan Zhenqing's department, and another was sent by people from Li Siye. The situation reports sent by Guo Ziyi and Li Guangbi were sent to Yang Xihe.

Li Bin reported their current situation and direction of travel.

According to the bulletin, Guo and Li did not encounter large-scale resistance from the rebels when they quickly moved south after capturing Fanyang. They marched very smoothly and recaptured many counties. The place they arrived now is about 30 kilometers away from Luoyang.

They will also march at the fastest speed for three hundred miles, striving to meet Li Bin and Yang Xi at the foot of Luoyang City.

The time when Guo Ziyi and Li Guangbi sent this situation report was one day ago. Judging from their traveling speed, when they received this information, Guo and Li should be two hundred thirty or forty miles away from Luoyang City. After that,

In two days, we should be able to reach Luoyang City.

Yan Zhenqing's and Li Siye's troops were traveling at about the same speed. When they sent out the information, they reported that they were about three hundred miles away from Luoyang City. After the same day, they should have traveled sixty or seventy miles away, and they would definitely reach Luoyang in two or three days. Others

Although no situation reports came from various ministries, Yang Xi believed that the distances reached by these ministries should be about the same, one to three days away from Luoyang City.

It seems that the battle against Luoyang will begin in two days.

When receiving these reports, the summoned generals arrived at Yang Xi's tent one after another. Because Li Bin was still leading the rear army and carrying a large amount of baggage, he was now nearly a hundred meters away from Yang Xi's front army.

It was not possible for Li Bin to come over or go to Li Bin's tent to discuss the military situation. Yang Xi could only summon these generals to his tent to discuss the military situation as before Li Bin arrived.

Although the eunuch Li Fuguo had objections to this, he did not dare to openly contradict Yang Xi.

After the generals arrived, Yang Xi also reported the situation he had just received to the generals. However, just as he was discussing the follow-up arrangements with the generals, a sergeant hurriedly came in to report that he had received news from Luoyang City.

Yang Xi immediately took the secret message from the pigeon and opened it under the curious gazes of the generals. Upon seeing this, he was very surprised.

"Generals, I have a piece of good news for you," Yang Xi said with unconcealed joy, holding up the secret message: "A secret message came from Luoyang City, saying that An Qingxu might take advantage of the tyranny of Anlu Mountain to force him to abdicate.

, and even plans to seize the throne directly without hesitation!"

"Ah?!" The contents of this secret letter surprised all the generals.
