Reply to mdch20005 book friend: In the past, it was said that Luo Sanqian was enough to guard Luo's mouth, but now it is said that Yang Sanqian's soldiers can only be cannon fodder. Moreover, Yang's actions are irrelevant.

First of all, I did write that Luo Shixin's 3,000 people defended Luokou. In history, Li Mi led 7,000 elite troops to attack Xingluo Cang (i.e. Luokou). The Luokou defenders were less than 2,000, and there were no reinforcements outside. Luoyang still held on for more than 20 days before Xingluo Cang was captured by Li Mi. Therefore, Luo Shixin's 3,000 people defended Luokou was enough, and there was absolutely no exaggeration.

This book also describes that Yang Gongqing's three thousand soldiers can only be cannon fodder. Please read it clearly. I mean that when he takes the initiative to help Xingluo Cang, how can field battles be compared with the defense of a strong city? In addition, Luo Shixin's 3,000 people were dealing with Li Mi's siege troops. Although they were elite, the number was not too large. Because the main forces of Wagang were all preparing to block the defenders in Luoyang (including Yanshi). There were not 7,000 people there, at least 20,000 people, how could Yang Gongqing's 3,000 people not be cannon fodder?

Once Xingluo Cang is captured, the Wagang Army can expand rapidly. Yanshi's defense cannot be compared with Xingluo Cang. Therefore, Yang Gongqing also has 3,000 people, and it is not surprising that he cannot defend himself.

Yang Gongqing's troops were naturally different from those of the rebel army when he started out, and were naturally somewhat different from ordinary government troops. As for whether Yang Gongqing's actions were logical, I can only say that my personal views were different!
