The armor rate of Qin Hu's main army is not high, even lower than that of Li Mi's army. This is because his army was recruited temporarily, and he has not received any support from the court since he was released from prison.

All the funds were paid out of his own pocket or donated by aristocratic families. Many of the people who came to join him were rebels. At the beginning, some of them did not even have weapons and went to the battlefield with wooden sticks and rakes.

Now being able to achieve an armor coverage rate of 40% is already very good.

Su Dingfang still had 400,000 pairs of armors smuggled out from Jinyang Palace, but due to road blocks and numerous forces, they had not been able to be transported, so he had no choice.

To change this situation, unless Qin Hu opened up the Luoyang Line and occupied the upper reaches of Yongji Canal and Tongji Canal, his power would always be stuck here and there, and it would not be able to achieve anything.

So he must venture into Luoyang.

But the one thousand men he led this time were also selected from hundreds of thousands of troops, and there were elite warriors whom he personally trained. They were skilled in bow and horse, strong in strength, not afraid of death, and very loyal.

.Most of them are from Shandong, Hebei, and regard him as a benefactor.

"Brothers, when we enter Luoyang this time, we only have a thousand cavalry. You must remember that you only obey my orders, and they are orders given by me personally. Anyone who conveys my orders will be treated as farts. Unless

He has this token, which is a ring given by the late emperor, and I can see it clearly."

Qin Hu showed everyone the ring given to him by Yang Shou, and then announced his departure.

He mobilized 10,000 civilians to help escort the 200,000 shi of grain, but the civilians were not allowed to enter the city after they arrived at Fanghua Gate. Fortunately, the journey was not far, and everyone did not suffer much, so they went back after escorting them.

.

Tian Liu'an saw Qin Hu escorting the grain and grass from the top of the city, and hurriedly ordered the city gate to be opened. Like Li Junxian, this man was also a fierce general who followed Wang Shichong from Jiangdu. At the same time, he was also not ashamed of Wang Shichong's character like Li Junxian.

.

This was what he meant when he mocked Wang Shichong on the top of the city some time ago, but it was not certain that he had any affection for Qin Hu, because they did not know each other at all.

"The emperor has a decree to let His Royal Highness the King of Yan enter the city."

Tian Liuan ran to the city and personally commanded the people to open the city gate. He stood at the door and cupped his hands towards Qin Hu. He couldn't help but curl his lips in his heart. He was afraid that this kid would not be able to come and go.

"His Royal Highness the King of Yan personally escorted the military rations into Luoyang to rescue you, but no one came to greet you. The officials in Luoyang City were so ignorant that they sent a little shrimp out." Xi Wuben curled his lips and said unhappily.

"This general doesn't know. The general is just following orders. Please come to the city." Tian Liu'an was too lazy to talk nonsense to them. This kind of chaos in the world has ruined the etiquette. Everyone is the king. Who knows how many days he can be.

If there are too many kings, the value will depreciate.

Wang Yuying followed Qin Hu on horseback and said with a smile: "This is my first time to come to Luoyang. I heard that this place is rich in humanities, rich in resources, and extremely luxurious. I really want to see it as soon as possible."

Qin Hu glanced at Tian Liu'an and said, "Does the emperor have any other orders?" Tian Liu'an said, "I am only responsible for guiding grain and grass to the Ministry of Household Treasury for storage. I don't know anything else."

Qin Hu nodded and let Tian Liuan lead him towards the Hubu Treasury.

In the past, the emperor lived in the Xiyuan Palace, but now Xiyuan is not safe. Li Mi has attacked the outer city several times and reached Xiyuan, so Yang Tong has long moved to the palace.

More than an hour later, Qin Hu's grain and grass crossed the Tianjin Bridge and arrived at Hanjiamen. Li Junxian led a troop of soldiers and horses to arrive and said to Qin Hu: "Your Highness, King Yan, the emperor has a decree. Please come to Qianyang Palace to see you." , sergeants, please leave it to me, I will arrange to unload the provisions and reward the soldiers, please."

"My people have not yet entered the inner city, and my deployment is about to be divided. Jun Xian, do you want to kill me?" Qin Hu had long expected that Wang Shichong had this move, so he didn't care at all.

Li Junxian's face changed with fear: "Why did your Majesty say this? Jun Xian never meant that!"

"In this case, if you report back to the emperor, Qin Hu's grain and grass will continue to be shipped in, but it cannot be used as military ration. I want to open a porridge restaurant. It is not convenient to see the driver. Please help yourself, general."

Li Junxian didn't know what Wang Shichong wanted to do, but he had no intention of harming Qin Hu, and he had nothing to do here, so he quickly dismounted and kowtowed: "Your Majesty, I will retire."

"Wait a minute." Qin Hu pointed at Wang Yuying and said, "This is my wife and the daughter of General Wang Shichong. You can take her to see Duke Zheng."

"As commanded."
