Chapter 10227
Bozhou Yilong City.
"Gu still can't figure out why the Steel Thorn Army was completely wiped out?"
"Yes, Gu did send a supervisory army, but Yang Weiqi, a veteran general for many years, when it comes to war, Will he listen to the supervisor? He really wants to obey him in everything. It’s not Yang Weiqi.”
Yang Yuanhua thought of the conflict between the supervisor and the general, but this kind of conflict was unavoidable in all dynasties and had existed in the Steel Thorn Army for many years. He actually knew Yang Weiqi very well. After all, he knew Yang Weiqi. Many years ago, he was a member of the Yang clan again.
Yang Weiqi is a general who cherishes his soldiers very much. For the sake of the lives of his soldiers, he will not rush into anything greedy for merit.
Even if they were defeated in a face-to-face decisive battle, with Yang Weiqi's careful thinking, he would definitely have prepared a way out in advance. The Steel Thorn Army could at least retreat part of it, and it was impossible for the entire army to be annihilated.
"My guest!"
Gu Chaoling spit out two words, his brows furrowed slightly, and wrinkles appeared on his forehead.
At this moment, his heart was filled with sorrow.
But Yang Yuanhua's eyes were filled with disbelief.
"The guest guests have betrayed me? This... how is this possible? I have never treated them lightly in these years."
Yang Yuanhua thinks that he has done an excellent job in treating guest guests. , not only did not deduct, but also often gave more rewards.
“Nothing is impossible, as long as the chips given are high enough.”
“Grandmaster warriors have their own circles, and their thoughts are inherently uncontrollable.”
"Jiao Feilong is the chief guest. As long as he betrays the king, no one else will be his enemy."
Gu Chaoling said lightly.
"What should we do..."
Yang Yuanhua finally lost his sense of proportion.
He thought a lot, and also vaguely thought about the guest, but he provided the little innate golden elixir of the guest, so why did he betray him like this? This is too heartless.
Of course, he selectively ignored the various contributions that guests and ministers had made for the Yang family over the years.
It is an extremely wrong idea to rely on these favors to bind the master warriors.
"Now that the matter has come to this, we can only prepare for the worst. I have concluded that those guest ministers will not continue to help Da Qi deal with us." Gu Chaoling said.
"What do you say?" Yang Yuanhua's eyes lit up, as if he had been walking in the dark for a long time and suddenly found a beam of light.
“This time helping Da Qi deal with the Steel Thorn Army must be a transaction. After the transaction is completed, asking them to help again is not something that can be done with ordinary chips.”
"In addition, the ancestors of the Yang family live in seclusion in the mountains. Your Majesty, you can ask the ancestors to come out of the mountains to offset the power of the Grandmaster of Qi."
Gu Chaoling began to make suggestions one by one.
“Therefore, the key point is still at Loushanguan.”
Gu Chaoling said.
"Three days later, the Huya Army arrived. This is still not stable. According to my opinion, it is best for the king to go to Loushanguan in person."
Gu Chaoling gritted his teeth and put forward his own suggestion.
If it were Yang Yuanhua in the past, he would have set off immediately without saying a word.
But in recent years, Yang Yuanhua has long been exhausted by drinking and sex, and he has long lost the bravery he once had.
Sure enough, as soon as Gu Chaoling finished speaking, he saw the hesitation in Yang Yuanhua's eyes.
Although, the hesitation was fleeting.
Gu Chaoling said nothing, waiting for Yang Yuanhua to make a decision.
"It's not that I don't want to go, I still have to go to the mountains to invite my ancestors back first, and then I can consider the expedition myself after everything is done." Yang Yuanhua finally gave the answer.
Gu Chaoling was disappointed. Looking at Yang Yuanhua’s dark circles, slightly bulging belly, and loose arms, they all showed that this outstanding leader of the Yang family was no longer the The heroic man who had the ambition to conquer mountains and rivers.
Next, Yang will have to overcome many difficulties. It is uncertain whether he can maintain his independence.
...
Before the Qingyi River defense line.
In the former Qingyi River defense line, the court needed to deploy heavy troops to prevent the Yang family of Bozhou from sending troops northward.
But now the offensive and defensive momentum is different.
The Yang clan of Bozhou, which originally had an offensive attitude, had already huddled within Loushanguan with its limited troops.
"Do you want to attack Loushanguan?"
Commander Li Ruili is now convinced of Luo Xingchen. This battle was fought heartily. He has made great contributions through this. With the current attitude of the court towards meritorious service, He will definitely get a reward.
To be honest, at first, he was a little nervous when he met Luo Xingchen for the first time.
Because, Luo Xingchen looks too young.
As the saying goes, if your mouth is hairless, your work will be weak.
At such a young age, can he really fight this battle?
And it is not very in line with the rules to lead the army as an imperial envoy.
Even though Luo Xingchen was the eldest son of General Luo Fengtang, he did not give up his concerns.
After all, there are endless realities about the heroic father and the bear.
The strategy proposed later looks decent, but whether it can succeed is still unknown.
It wasn't until that night when the Steel Thorn Army rushed into the encirclement like a fool that he realized that he had really underestimated the imperial envoy. From now on, he would never look down on Luo Xingchen because of his youth.
Now, he is standing in front of the sand table, and his fingers have moved to Loushanguan.
"Loushanguan Pass is very dangerous. One man can guard it and ten thousand men cannot open it. This place is really a good place. No wonder Yang Yuanhua had the courage to rebel against the court."
Luo Xingchen did not directly reply to Li Ruili .
He has not yet decided whether to attack Loushanguan.
Mainly, he was thinking about whether the secret passage Shui Ion mentioned really existed. If the secret passage existed, how many people could carry it without being discovered.
"General, this Loushanguan won't work without fighting. We can't give them a chance to breathe."
Seeing that Luo Xingchen did not answer directly, Li Ruili said anxiously.
This is why he came to see Luo Xingchen.
Because the fighter plane is fleeting, if you miss it, it will be difficult to attack in the future.
"Loushanguan is so strong, do we really have a chance to capture it?"
Luo Xingchen saw the appearance of Xiongguan with his own eyes. He was not optimistic about it. The hundred-meter-high wall was bare, and all kinds of defensive equipment were visible. It looks quite neat.
He is not even sure if he is given a hundred thousand soldiers and horses. What's more, he only has 30,000 soldiers and horses at hand now, many of whom are new recruits.
To destroy the Steel Thorn Army, it relied on ingenuity and ingenuity, and it was a surprise. Now the follow-up aftermath is still in progress. The defeated soldiers of the Steel Thorn Army are scattered everywhere. Only less than 10,000 people were actually killed and surrendered. The rest of the Steel Thorn soldiers were all scattered soldiers. Yun Ying led the cavalry to search for the broken soldiers.
So, Luo Xingchen only had more than 20,000 elite soldiers left to fight.
I am not afraid of fighting in the wild, but attacking a strong city is not an easy task.
"If we have a chance, I have contacted some people in the city. As long as we go over to attack, they will open the city gate from the inside and let us in." Li Ruili said.
