Chapter 1135 What a fool!
Just after breakfast the next day, Guan Chiying, his brothers, and a group of people sent by Xiao Yuansui left the camp, crossed the Yellow River and took a detour towards Luoyang.
Although there will definitely be hardships and dangers along the way, at the thought of being able to return to Luoyang and at least save their families, everyone's faces still showed some relief, except for the grumpy young man. A look of impatience.
Not only was he impatient, he also had several bruises on his face and his eyes were angry.
Early in the morning, he had a big quarrel with others because the hot water left for them by the gang leader had been used by others and was already cold. This time, Guan Chiying was not in the middle. He tried to mediate and comfort him, and even gently grabbed Boss Xu who was about to come forward to make peace when others were not paying attention. As a result, the quarrel between the two parties became more and more intense, and finally the young man started fighting with the other party.
Soon, the chaos here alarmed Xiao Yuansui.
He brought Hua Ziying and others with a calm expression. He was about to punish the person who caused the conflict. Suddenly he turned around and saw the tent on the other side. Shang Ruyi stretched his neck and looked over. She still had a thoughtful expression on her face, and when she found out that Xiao Yuanshui had seen her, she immediately turned around and got back into the tent.
Xiao Yuansui's eyes flickered imperceptibly.
Then, he punished the soldiers who fought with them, dragged them down and beat each of them with twenty military sticks. After asking Boss Xu and others again, he returned to the Chinese army’s tent and let them go. When someone came to spread the word, he sent someone back to Luoyang with Guan Chiying and others. Yang, set off immediately. The most important thing is to ask them to go back and remind Liang Shide that although there is a shortage of food in Luoyang City, he must survive this period no matter what. As soon as Hulao Pass is broken, he can immediately send troops to Luoyang. , defeated Yuwen Cheng who besieged the city.
So, Guan Chiying and others set off immediately after breakfast.
And now, while riding on horseback and listening to the howling wind, Shang Ruyi's calm and solemn voice seems to be echoing in his ears -
"Xiao Yuansui is a suspicious person by nature. I asked him yesterday. After seeing you twice, he will definitely be wary; therefore, the best way to let him send you away is to let you There is a little conflict between our people and his people, and then, as long as he finds out that I am using my brains on you people, he must solve the problem, and the most thorough way is to send you away.”
He originally thought that this method was too mysterious and might not work, but currently there was no other way and he could only give it a try.
Who knew it would happen.
He couldn't help but sigh softly, and he admired Princess Qin even more in his heart - she dared to make such a plan, which showed that she was bold and careful, and it also showed that she had a deep understanding of human nature and was full of strategies. When he was in a trance, Boss Xu on the side whipped his horse twice and ran to his side, saying softly: "Brother Guan."
Guan Chiying immediately came back to his senses, and looked at Boss Xu with a more cautious expression: "What's the matter?"
Shang Ruyi's plan worked, and now they could embark on the road back to Luoyang, among which A very crucial part is He wanted people to fight Xiao Yuansui's people. Not only did he change his good attitude, but he also kept pulling Boss Xu, who was usually in charge of everyone, until the young man had rolled to the ground with him, and someone went to report Xiao. He didn't let go until he was shocked. Others might not notice this, but Boss Xu, who had been held by him, could not have noticed it. After he let go, Boss Xu even looked at him strangely, and then didn't speak again.
Until now.
When he saw Guan Chiying's cautious look, Boss Xu also had some doubts in his eyes, but he remained calm and asked in a low voice: "Can we really save our family when we go back this time? ?”
Guan Chiying forced a smile and said, “Brother Xu, why are you suddenly worried about this?”
Boss Xu sighed and said: "We have lost the battle after all. General Chen was killed again, and the food was not retrieved. If there is any questioning -"
Guan Chiying glanced forward , walking in front of this team is Xiao Yuansui's team. He lowered his voice and said: "We are not doing well, and there is nothing we can do about it. But this time we have General Xiao's people as guarantees - life or death depends on fate."
Hearing what he said, Xu The boss sighed, and Guan Chiying looked at him carefully again. For the rest of the journey, the two of them had nothing to say.
They galloped almost non-stop all day and night. It was not until dawn the next day that they finally saw the tall and majestic tower in front of them in the first ray of sunlight that dispersed the night. Luoyang City.
However, their speed immediately slowed down.
This time they took a detour to the north and wanted to enter Luoyang through the North City Gate, because Yuwen Cheng's camp was in the south, close to Luoshui, and the main force of the attack was also in the south - of course, this was General Chen Cai had taken advantage of this when he led them to break out of the city a few days ago. I wonder if Yu Wencheng, who suffered this loss, would change his previous tactics and instead encircle Luoyang City comprehensively.
If this is the case, then they may have to go through a fierce battle before they can enter Luoyang this time.
But after slowing down and listening carefully to the surrounding movements, they discovered that there seemed to be no military camps set up within a few miles, and there were no soldiers or horses ambushing them.
Could it be that Yuwen Cheng has not learned the lesson from last time and still did not besiege Luoyang City?
If this is the case, then God help me!
Everyone was thinking this, but they were also worried that it was just a trick by the other party to lure the enemy. Guan Chiying and Boss Xu led the people behind them to hold the reins as tightly as possible, and let the horses under them step lightly on the already a little bit. Withered and yellow, On the grass that was as soft as a thick quilt, I walked forward bit by bit tentatively. The first morning light gradually outlined the surrounding mountains, rivers and vegetation. If there were really soldiers and horses hiding among them, it would be more or less visible at this time. Some are coming.
But still, there is a wide avenue at your feet, leading straight to Luoyang City ahead!
Everyone was overjoyed, especially Boss Xu. He lowered his voice ecstatically and said: "It seems that this place has not been occupied by Yu Wencheng's troops yet. Let's go back quickly!"
Other people around also echoed: "This is great!"
Some people breathed a long sigh of relief, released their hands from the handle of the knife that was already wet with cold sweat, and said softly: "I thought I had to fight again no matter what, but I didn't expect that it turned out to be an empty goal."
“Haha, it’s not just Buddhism, I see that Yuwen Chengnao The bag is empty!”
“Yes, it’s just a idiot!”
Listening to the ridicule, Guan Chiying felt relieved in his heart, but his eyes couldn’t help but be confused. There was a look of worry - Yu Wencheng, what a fool!
I suffered a loss before and asked Chen Cai to lead everyone out of the city to return to Luocang to collect grain. Unexpectedly, he did not learn his lesson at all and still did not completely cut off Luoyang's grain route. If he really let He came to attack Luoyang, but he was afraid that when everyone else would die of old age, the solid city of Luoyang would not be able to be broken!
Thinking of this, he sighed deeply.
Suddenly, Boss Xu next to him turned to look at him: "Brother Guan, what's wrong?"
