It was daylight.
The territory under the jurisdiction of the Luoyang Defense Envoy is Ruzhou.
In the army camp, Wang Jian opened his eyes after a whole night of training, and exhaled a long breath of spiritual energy.
For the King of Shu, who once entered the Immortal Realm and is now only in the Realm of Yangshen, practice cannot increase his cultivation by half a point. After the Kunlun Passage is closed, his cultivation is destined to be maintained at the realm of Daoist Yangshen, and he will not be able to move even a single step. No entry.
But even so, Wang Jian still retains the habit of replacing sleep with practice every day. In his opinion, this is something he must not give up on his way to a higher level, just like when he led his troops to conquer the Central Plains.
"It will be useful anyway, someday..."
A set of images emerged in Wang Jian's mind: he stood in front of the Taiji Hall in Chang'an Palace City, receiving congratulations from civil and military officials; he replaced the spiritual seat in the Li family temple with Wang's ancestors; , Thousands of people face north and worship, and the mountain shouts long live.
A smile gradually formed on the corner of Wang Jian's mouth, spreading slowly like water waves.
He thought: "On that day, I will open the Jiuhe Dingding formation again, gather all the power in the world, completely destroy the Kunlun passage, and completely isolate the world. From then on, I will be the real master of the world. The emperor was angry A million corpses, haha... hahahaha... "
His eyes were full of desire, full of madness.
After a while, Wang Jiancai brought his thoughts back from the future to the present.
He thought of King An.
The scenes in Chang'an in the past came to my mind.
There was a sneer on Wang Jian's face, "What is King An, that is, he was born better, with the support of the emperor, and took the lead, so that he could become famous all over the world. But so what? The biggest princes were the first to perish... . .. the last laugher is the winner!"
He thought of Li Maozhen again. Oh, in Chang'an, Li Maozhen was still called Song Wentong.
Wang Jian pouted contemptuously: "A fool with a vague mind!"
These words were a bit of nonsense, and to be fair, Wang Jian felt that he didn't know Li Maozhen well.
When they served in the Shence Army, they were friends. True friends may not be able to entrust life and death, but they can definitely help each other.
At that time, they jointly witnessed the weakness of the court, the faintness of the emperor, and the darkness of the government. After watching for a long time, they realized that such a dynasty was not far from collapse and could not be reversed.
Troubled times are approaching... A man should take advantage of the situation to rise up, make contributions, honor his ancestors, and leave his name in history.
All along, Wang Jian hid his thoughts very well. He knows what it means to keep a low profile, especially when he is not strong enough. So he always looks simple and honest, simple and harmless.
But Li Maozhen is different. He has always shown his sharpness and made no secret of his disappointment in the officialdom and his ambition to stand on the high ground. At the time of the Fengxiang Army, Li Maozhen was the most fearless in battle. When the Fengxiang Jiedu Envoy tried to hold the emperor hostage, he was the one who found Wang Jian and persuaded him to make a dangerous move and break up with the Jiedu Envoy.
It stands to reason that such Li Maozhen should be the craziest. After he conquered Chang'an, it was in line with his temperament to usurp the throne and proclaim himself emperor. How can you feel as happy as the emperor yourself when you hold the emperor to make the princes
But he didn't.
"The worst thing is to use the hand of the emperor to give orders to King An every day to return to Chang'an and hand over his authority. If King An returns to Chang'an, there will be methods to harm him. If King An does not return to Chang'an, he will be a traitor." Wang Jian thought from the standpoint of Li Maozhen, "In this way, the whole of Hebei, including Pinglu, will eventually belong to Li Maozhen?"
But Li Maozhen did not do this.
"A fool, he deserves to be bullied by Gao Pian and me!" Wang Jian concluded.
Thinking of this, Wang Jian couldn't help feeling complacent, "Speaking of which, the land of Shu is narrow, and it is difficult to achieve great things. It was Li Maozhen who gave me this opportunity. If it wasn't for dealing with him, how could Gao Pian take the initiative to join hands with me to bring Xuzhou, Luoyang Give it up?"
"If this is the case, it will be difficult for me to even enter Hanzhong. How can I talk about competing in the Central Plains and have such a good situation now? When I occupy Luoyang, I can advance to plot the entire Central Plains, and retreat to enter Hanzhong on both sides. The great land is at my fingertips! If this is not the case Destiny, what is destiny? Destiny, haha, destiny is to let me, Wang Jiancheng, do things!"
Wang Jian stood up, flung his sleeves behind his hands, his brows were raised high, and he was full of vigor.
He has already occupied all the territory of the Zhongwu Army, and now he is singing all the way, breaking into the territory of the Luoyang Defense Envoy. Next, he only needs to conquer Ruzhou, and Luoyang will open the door to him.
Whether it is Ruzhou or Luoyang, they are just ordinary prefectures and counties, and they do not have the strength to resist him.
The situation is very good, the future is infinitely bright, and the great cause is developing in full swing.
It took a lot of effort for Wang Jian to hold back his laughter.
He is now going to go around the barracks, encourage the soldiers, and prepare for the upcoming siege.
"When the governor of Ruzhou saw that the king was coming, he didn't take the initiative to surrender the city. He really didn't know what to say! And those people in Ruzhou, don't they know that the king's army has arrived? It's fine if the governor refuses to sacrifice the city, but they don't Greeting Master Wang is truly out of character!"
Wang Jian was thinking as he walked, "When the king breaks through the city, the soldiers of the three armies must be plundered for three days to let them know the majesty of the king! Only in this way can we deter Luoyang and make them fear. Maybe they will Take the initiative to surrender!"
Immersed in his sweet dreams, Wang Jian walked up to the curtain and was about to lift the curtain to go out when a figure rushed in front of him, almost pretending to be full of him.
Wang Jian knocked the other party to the ground, angrily said: "I'm tired of work, dare to break into my king's tent?"
The one who came was his personal guard commander, who was in charge of guarding the large tent of the Chinese army. Wang Jian slapped him on the forehead, and he had a nosebleed, but he didn't have time to wipe it off, so he saluted in a dizzy manner, and hurriedly said: "Your Highness, there is an enemy situation!"

"Enemy situation? Why does the enemy situation need to be so panic?" Wang Jian frowned, his anger not only didn't subside, but deepened by two points.
After taking Xuzhou with almost no effort, Wang Jian was proud of himself, but he did not let down his vigilance. Now that the army has arrived in Ruzhou, although he doesn't think there is any force that can threaten him, he still sent many rangers to investigate the four directions, and at the same time sent many monks out to closely monitor everywhere.
In Wang Jian's view, this is the difference between him and ordinary commanders. When fighting abroad, you will not be arrogant in victory or discouraged in defeat. You should remain cautious at all times and maintain the ability to deal with emergencies. It's a quality he's proud of.
Wang Jian is often proud of himself for being so wise.
In order to maintain this pride, let him spur himself to become more wise.
It's a virtuous circle that very few people are able to pull off.
Wang Jian did it, so he thought he was bound to succeed. It's impossible to think about it!
In this case, even if there was an unexpected enemy situation, when he got the scout report from the ranger or the monk, the opponent must be tens of miles away.
The enemy army is dozens of miles away, and the Shu army has plenty of time to prepare for the battle, so why panic
Because of Wang Jian's scolding, the commander of the personal guards calmed down a little, but his anxiety did not disappear. He hurriedly said: "After dawn, the sentry tower soldiers in the camp discovered that a large army suddenly appeared from a distance of ten miles. Tens of thousands of people! And... and more than one place, they are attacking the camp!"
Wang Jian was kicked by the guard, thinking that this guy was talking in his sleep, he must have not woken up yet.
Tens of thousands of enemy troops approached tens of miles away, and the camp only found their traces? Even if the opponent marches in covertly at night, with a mouthful and a horse bound, that's impossible!
Before that, how could the rangers and monks he had arranged outside the camp not call the police
Could it be that the hundreds of rangers and monks he sent out were all quietly cleared away by the other party
This is even more absurd.
There are many high-level qi training, even monks in the real world!
In the whole world, there is no monk group of vassal kings with such power.
Even if the former King An attacked in the dark, even if Wang Jian's rangers and monks were careless because of the victory just now, this situation would never happen!
This is not to say that his rangers and monks cannot be solved by concealment, but that to do this, the strength of a high-ranking monk is too great, and he must have the ability to completely crush him with careful arrangements and stealthy actions. Overwhelm the strength of his monks!
Simply put, this requires at least two feudal lords to join forces and send out the best monks under their command!
In this way, hundreds of rangers and monks under Wang Jian's command disappeared into the night without even sounding the alarm.
Wang Jian has a very clear understanding of this, so he feels that the commander of the personal guards is not awake.
uh, wait...
etc!
Wang Jian suddenly thought of something, couldn't help being startled, and the cold air shot up behind him.
The two feudal lords teamed up and dispatched all the elite monks under their command... Could it be that Li Maozhen and Gao Pian joined forces? They join forces against me? !
In the whole world, there are only three vassal kings, besides Wang Jian himself, there are only Li Maozhen and Gao Pian!
It is false that Gao Pian is joining hands with me, but it is true that he is joining hands with Li Maozhen. They plotted against me from the very beginning? !
Wang Jian could no longer remain indifferent, and immediately rose from the ground, ascended to a high altitude, and looked around.
Because his cultivation base is strong enough, he stands tall enough and can see farther.
The mountains, rivers, fields, and villages within dozens of miles spread out like a chessboard scroll in his eyes.
Seeing this, Wang Jian couldn't help feeling chills in his limbs, as if falling into an ice cave.
When Wang Jian entered the Central Plains this time, he had 500,000 soldiers under his command - he had been recruiting troops in the middle of Sichuan to expand his strength for a long time, and he had a total of more than 700,000 soldiers.
But with so many soldiers and horses, it is definitely impossible to bring them all out, and some of them must be left to stick to the town. After all, he was on an expedition to the Central Plains this time, and if something happened in the Central Plains, it was difficult to return in time, so he had to leave one-third of his troops to deal with accidents—for example, Li Maozhen did not want to fight for the Central Plains, so he went to attack his lair.
An army of 500,000 troops would naturally not march on a single route. Right now, he was surrounded by the main force, with more than 200,000 soldiers.
But now, Wang Jian found himself surrounded, surrounded by troops coming like a tide!
