Traveling through the troubled times of Sui and Tang Dynasties

Liu Wuzhou is not easy to fight.Not to mention that he himself has the talent of a leader and has rich experience in battles. Let’s say that he is attached to the Turks and has received the full support of the Turks. He not only gave the Turks the best horses, but also quoted some Turkic soldiers. What about the Tang army?Bingzhou was already an empty city, and it was Pei Ji and other literati who came to fight. After several battles and repeated defeats, the Tang army's morale was slackened, and the defeat was understandable.

At this moment, in the camp of the Tang army stationed outside Bingzhou City, Luo Cheng looked intently at the sand table and said: "Liu Wuzhou is stationed in Bingzhou, right in front of us, and the Turkic army is stationed in Fenzhou, which is to the west of us. If the two of them unite together If we fight, not only will we not be able to attack Bingzhou, but we may have to take ourselves in."

"Hey, General Luo's words are wrong. With General Luo and other generals around, Liu Wuzhou doesn't care about mere Turks." Pei Ji said loudly with a proud face, as if he was talking about himself.

Luo Cheng rubbed his nose and said with embarrassment: "Your Excellency, you're overwhelmed. The Turkic army can't be underestimated. They live in a harsh environment and their folk customs are extremely tough. Each of them can fight ten with one. Ordinary soldiers are no match for them at all. When I was still guarding Youzhou in Beiping Mansion, I accompanied my father and king to fight countless battles with him. Although we won many battles, the Turkic people had tenacious willpower. Even if they lost, they would come back again. Besides, Liu Wuzhou's army is at our side this time, so we must not underestimate the enemy."

Pei Ji was about to speak again, but was robbed by Li Yuanji: "That's all right, all right, don't flatter your horse, save yourself, enter Chang'an City and show yourself in front of my father, he will take your place."

Pei Ji choked, his eyes widened and his eyes narrowed. He wanted to refute but didn't dare, so he could only bear it. Luo Cheng couldn't help laughing at the look.Luo Cheng believed in Pei Ji's loyalty to Emperor Tang, but his ability was not good enough.

At this time, someone outside the account reported that it was Wang Xingben, Tongshou of Hedong County, who asked to see him.Hedong County is one of the few cities that has not been conquered by Liu Wuzhou. When they heard that King Qin's Tang army reinforcements had arrived, everyone wept with joy and immediately opened the city gate to welcome the Tang army.

Luo Cheng pondered for a moment, then said to Li Yuanji, "Do you know this person?"

Li Yuanji thought for a while and said: "The previous guard of Hedong County was Yao Junsu. After my father launched an uprising and declared against the Sui Dynasty, this old boy stood firm in Hedong County and vowed to resist my Li family to the end. In the end, he was defeated by him." His subordinates were killed, and Hedong County belonged to me, Li Tang. Afterwards, Emperor Father worried that there were still Yao Junsu's loyal subordinates in Hedong County, so he sent his eldest brother to guard Hedong County, and everything was fine. , until his father came to the throne in Chang'an City, and the eldest brother was named the prince, so it was not suitable for him to stay in Hedong County for a long time, so he left Hedong County and returned to Chang'an. I have never heard of this Wang Xingben, and it was probably appointed when the elder brother left. Since it is the person appointed by the eldest brother, it must be no problem."

Luo Cheng also believed in Li Jiancheng's vision. Hearing what Li Yuanji said, he nodded and said to the soldier who informed him, "Let him in."

As soon as Wang Xingben entered the camp, he gave a big gift, met everyone one by one, and was slightly taken aback when he saw Li Yuanji, thinking that it was His Highness King Qin, why is it His Highness King Qi?

After meeting each other, Li Yuanji also recognized the person in front of him. This person was indeed the subordinate of the eldest brother when he was stationed in Hedong County.Li Yuanji lived in Hedong County for a while, and rescued Luo Cheng by accident. At that time, this person seemed to be working under the elder brother's errand, but he was just a small official. He never thought that he was actually the general guard of Hedong County.

Luo Cheng patiently asked him about the number of Turkic troops in Fenzhou, and about the distribution of Liu Wuzhou's troops. After hearing this, Luo Cheng frowned. It seemed that this time the Turks were determined to get involved.

It turned out that after Liu Wuzhou captured Bingzhou, he dedicated most of the maids in Jinyang Palace to the Turkic Shibi Khan. The Turkic Khan didn't want Li Tang's family to dominate. , not only can cultivate a force to fight against Li Tang, but also get benefits, why not do it.Only then did the horses be given away, and some soldiers will be called by them for friendship.

As soon as the Turkic army entered Fenzhou, no matter the climate or prosperity of the Central Plains, it was much better than those outside the pass, and Liu Wuzhou was offering him like a master, and he suddenly felt that he was living a life like a fairy, and his heart became more firm. Now, if you want to advance and retreat with Liu Wuzhou, you can share the benefits, and maybe you can even settle in the Central Plains.

Therefore, it is really not easy to separate the Turks and Liu Wuzhou at this moment.

Wang Xingben also said: "King Qi, I think it will be impossible to separate Turkic and Liu Wuzhou. A few days ago, my subordinates also heard that the Turkic Khan commended Liu Wuzhou and gave him a "Dingyang Khan". Give him a "wolf head flag" to show his importance."

Luo Cheng knew that at this time and at that time, Turkic had tasted the sweetness, and he was afraid that he would not compromise as easily as when he was asked to give up supporting Xue Ju and his son.

"Since we can't divorce, let's fight." Li Yuanji said.

Luo Cheng said to himself: "We can only fight hard."

Wang Xingben said at the right time: "His Royal Highness King Qi, General Luo, there are more than [-] elite soldiers in Hedong County under his command, and there are enough grain and grass reserves in the city. We are waiting for King Qi's orders."

Li Yuanji nodded at him, looked at Luo Chengdao: "Aren't you worried that you will have no way to deal with the Turks and Liu Wuzhou forces? Look, the troops of Hedong County can be transferred to use."

"That's the only way to go. I'll think about the details of the layout later. Don't waste any time. Let's make a quick decision and start fighting at the same time, so that they can't connect and can't take care of themselves."

"Well, okay, I'll listen to you." Li Yuanji said with a smile.

After thinking about it, Luo Chengsi realized that the Turkic soldiers were not very easy to deal with. If soldiers from Hedong County or ordinary Tang troops were to block them, they would not only be unable to stop them, but would also easily affect morale if they lost the battle. So he ordered Luo Jiayan to bring him Yun Jingqi went to stop the Turkic soldiers.

For one thing, the Yanyun Jingqi are all good soldiers trained by him, and he knows in his heart the intensity of the training, and their abilities are obvious to all.Next, the Yanyun Jingqi and the Turkic soldiers have not fought once or twice, and they are familiar with each other's ways; finally, I hope that the name of Yanyun Jingqi can deter the Turkic soldiers. After all, when I was in Youzhou, I fought several times. , Most of them ended with the defeat of the Turkic soldiers and their escape.It would be great to be able to defeat others without fighting.

After Luo Cheng made up his mind, he gave the order down, which immediately aroused Li Yuanji's dissatisfaction.Li Yuanji was dissatisfied because Yanyun Jingqi usually stayed close to Luo Cheng, and if something happened, he could protect his safety as soon as possible. A mistake, what to do.

But he couldn't stand Luo Cheng's insistence on going his own way. Luo Cheng's move was based on comprehensive consideration, and it was also the safest tactic.Li Yuanji couldn't argue with him, so he asked him to take him with him no matter what, otherwise he would refuse to agree with him to do so, and the latter had no choice but to agree.

The next day, Luo Cheng and Li Yuanji led Tang Jun and Wang Xingben's Hedong soldiers to gather under the city of Bingzhou, and Luo Cheng called the battle.

After a while, the city gate of Bingzhou opened, and two teams flashed out in two directions. Liu Wuzhou was among them. Liu Wuzhou was so happy that Luo Cheng was a little surprised. Didn't he have to wait for his Turkic brothers to come to support?He probably didn't know that Yanyun Jingqi had already gone to stop the Turkic soldiers.

When Luo Cheng was suspicious, he only heard Liu Wuzhou laugh loudly, holding a big knife, pointing at Luo Cheng and saying, "Luo Cheng, I know you are powerful, but others are afraid of you. I, Liu Wuzhou, am not afraid of you. I will kill you this time." , kill you, I can still make a name for myself—say that Luo Cheng, the number one warrior in the world, was killed by me, hahaha..."

Li Yuanji glanced at Liu Wuzhou with a ghostly look on his face, then turned to look at Luo Chengdao: "Is he bewitched? Just his martial arts? You don't need to go out at all, just wait, I will meet him."

Luo Cheng said no, but Li Yuanji had already reined in and ran out.

Liu Wuzhou's martial arts skills are actually very average. In terms of age, he is not as good as Li Yuanji. He was out of breath when he was fighting. The generals behind Liu Wuzhou saw this posture and came to help one after another. The generals of the Tang army here also Not to be outdone, the two sides fought together.

For a moment, the two armies fought together.

A silver spear, let Luo Cheng wield it freely, like a dragon going out to sea, everywhere he went, there was blood spattering, and the shadow of the spear was heavy, but everyone who got close to him fell to the ground, no matter if it was Luo's spear or not Whether it's Jiang's gun, the essence has already made him understand clearly, and it's hard to meet an opponent.

Just as he was fighting off a hundred enemies with one enemy, he suddenly heard Li Yuanji shout: "Luo Cheng, be careful!"

Luo Cheng watched Li Yuanji look behind him with wide eyes, he quickly turned around, only in time to support the soldier who blocked him from the knife, but still stood firm in front of him.

"How are you?" Luo Cheng anxiously lowered his head and asked the soldier standing in front of his horse. The soldier lowered his head and shook his head.

"Wang Xingben, you dare to rebel!" Luo Cheng angrily scolded the man who raised his knife at him. If it wasn't for this soldier standing in front of him, he might have been plotted against him. He had calculated thousands of times, but Wang Xingben suddenly turned against him.

Wang Xingben, who had been loyal before, also showed his true colors at this moment, and glared angrily: "I was originally a general of the Sui Dynasty, but you, Luo Cheng, didn't know how to repay the emperor's kindness, and became a traitor, and even supported Li's ascension to the throne."

"Are you from Yao Junsu?"

"Huh... Lord Yao is a loyal person, and he swore to be loyal to my Sui Dynasty. I never thought that I would be betrayed by a traitor and have my head chopped off. I can only endure the humiliation and pretend to belong to your Li family for the time being. Unexpectedly, Liu Wu Zhou's army came to besiege Chang'an City, And that idiot Li Yuanji led his army to leave Bingzhou for some reason, so I knew that this was my chance to flex my muscles! I took this opportunity to kill Li Jiancheng's newly appointed Tong Shou, replaced him myself, and called on the people and soldiers in the city to fight against the Tang Dynasty together. See When you came, I suddenly changed my mind. On the one hand, I surrendered my sincerity to you, and on the other hand, I joined forces with Liu Wuzhou to attack Tang Jun from both inside and outside." Wang Xingben snorted coldly, "Luo Cheng, your fate is good, let you hide After a calamity, otherwise, the body will be completely cold at this moment."

After Wang Xingben finished speaking, he raised his knife and slashed at Luo Cheng. Luo Cheng had to put aside the soldier who was protecting him from the knife in a panic, and fought with Wang Xingben without any leisure.

If Wang Xingben succeeded in the sneak attack just now, forget it, but if the sneak attack fails, he will be a bit overconfident if he wants to attack Luo Cheng again. Could it be that your martial arts are better than Yuwen Chengdu and Li Yuanba?What's more, Wang Xingben's behavior really pissed Luo Cheng off.

Luo Cheng drove Wang Xingben to a dead end without any ability to resist, and was finally captured alive by the Tang army who swarmed up. Liu Wu saw that Wang Xingben had been exposed on Monday, and the Turkic army could not come. His own plan failed, so hurry up Order to withdraw troops.

Li Yuanji quickly got off his horse, ran to Luo Cheng, checked up and down before asking, "Are you all right? Are you hurt anywhere? Let me see."

Luo Cheng stretched out his hand to pull his hand down, and comforted him: "I'm fine. In fact, even if he wanted to hurt me, he might not be able to hurt me. Have you forgotten? My senses are already more sensitive than ordinary people. It's just that I'm pitiful." A brother, block the knife for me."

Luo Cheng suddenly remembered, looked around and said: "By the way, where is the brother who blocked the knife for me just now? I saw blood on his chest. I'm afraid he was injured, so I quickly ordered someone to bandage him."

But when the battlefield was cleared, the person who blocked the sword for him was not found.

In the camp, a soldier hurried into the tent, knelt down and announced: "Report to the general, there is no one with a chest injury among our soldiers."

Luo Cheng frowned and said, "Have you found everyone?"

"I've looked for it all, and there really isn't one."

Li Yuanji frowned: "It's not from our army, it can't be from the enemy army, right?"

"Although it was very chaotic and hasty at the time, I remember that he was wearing the military uniform of the Tang army." Luo Chengdao, "His chest was injured. If the medicine is not given in time, his life may be in danger."

"Do you remember what he looked like?"

Luo Cheng tried his best to recall: "He lowered his head at that time, and I didn't see clearly."

"What about the body shape, there is always an impression of the body shape."

Luo Cheng suddenly paused, his expression in a trance.

"Luo Cheng? Luo Cheng?"

"Ah..." Luo Cheng raised his head blankly, forced a smile, "I'm a little tired, Li Yuanji, why don't you go out first, I want to rest for a while."

Li Yuanji nodded, patted him on the shoulder and said, "Then I'll go out first, call me if you need anything."

"Okay." When there was no one in the big tent, Luo Cheng sat on the chair in weightlessness with a plop, and murmured in a low voice: "Are you protecting me? Actually, you are always by my side, why don't you want to see me?" .”

The more Luo Cheng thought about it, the more he couldn't sit still, and the yearning for Yu Wencheng became more and more intense in his heart. He didn't know what to do, where to find him, and walked out of the camp without a clue.

I don't know how long I walked, but I heard someone around me exclaimed: "Kowtow to see General Luo."

Luo Chengcai came to his senses, looked around, and at the person in front of him. He seemed to have known him before, but he couldn't remember who he was: "Get up, where is this?"

"This is the stable. General Luo, don't you remember the young one? The young one is the steward of the stable. It was the young one who brought the Sailong five-spotted horse to you before."

Luo Cheng nodded dully, he didn't expect to come here subconsciously.That's right, now, the only thing he has to do with Yu Wencheng is this war horse.

Now that you're here, let's take a look, Luo Cheng said, "Where's the five-spotted horse? Take me to have a look."

"Okay, I'll take you there."
