Chapter 292: One missed move, tied hands and feet
The room was filled with cold air, but there was also the lingering smell of burning sulfur, the kind of feeling that was hot and cold at times. The feeling is extremely unbearable for most people, but everyone in the room seems to have become accustomed to it.
The bottom of the couch where Kou Zhong was sitting cross-legged was hollowed out, and two black square stones were filled in. They were moved from the fifth underground floor of Heibingtai.
Without the black ice stone to help Kou Zhong suppress the fire poison in his body, he would not have been able to stay in Luoyang for so long.
The black ice that may be brought out must be limited after all. The fire poison in Kou Zhong's body has obviously reared its head during this period of time, so that Kou Zhong's words smell like sulfur.
"Dayin, since the rebels appeared around Luoyang ten days ago, now they have completely cut off the land and water routes!" Zhang Quanyi said: "Rumors are spreading everywhere in Luoyang City. It is not an option to continue like this."
< br>"Yes, Dayin, the price of food in the city has been rising day by day. Today's food price has increased ten times compared with a month ago. Many families can no longer afford to buy food!" Prince Li Tai, who was sitting opposite Zhang Quanyi He also had a sad look on his face: "Chang Pingcang didn't dare to do anything without permission. It was to ensure the needs of the army. I personally came to persuade the big businessmen to lower the price of food, but every one of them refused and agreed to what I was willing to give. Food has no effect on food prices at all!"
"So?" Kou Zhong looked at the two people in front of him and asked expressionlessly.
"Dayin, we must take the initiative!" Zhang Quanyi stood up and said loudly: "Shou, you can't be famous for defending. Luoyang is so big, the only one who has fighting ability and is willing to fight to the death for the court is The 50,000 men under my command are a lot, but if they are scattered in Luoyang City, they are really not that much. To be honest, the prince and the low-ranking soldiers in the city not only cannot believe them, but also find a way to monitor them. They."
Li Tai smiled bitterly and said: "That's right, Dayin, if it weren't for someone's connivance, how could this rebel come so quickly, starting from Wei County in just three days? We arrived at the outskirts of Luoyang. Are all the officers and soldiers along the way dead? "
"Of course they are not dead, they just want to wait and take advantage!" Kou Zhong said coldly: "How do you want to fight?"
"Dayin, why are the soldiers and horses divided into three parts to attack? One Five thousand troops led by Feng Congwen came from the left wing. Although this army was small in number, the officers were basically composed of children of the former Hedong families, and the soldiers were mainly private soldiers of the families. The right wing was from Hedong. The nearly 20,000 men led by Green Forest Yang Lixin seemed to be large in number, but their actual combat effectiveness was worse than Feng Congwen. These Green Forest heroes fought irregularly, rushing up when the wind was blowing, and fleeing when the wind was blowing. , there is a way to rob and cause chaos, and the real war is chaos!"
"So you are going to fight Yang Lixin first?"
"Yes, Dayin!" Zhang Quanyi said: "He Zudao is now preparing. There are 30,000 soldiers, and based on the 5,000 soldiers, they are stronger than Feng Congwen. Therefore, I want to go out of the city and do my best to destroy Yang Lixin's troops. This can boost the morale of our army and boost the prestige of the court. , and also make some people with evil intentions in Luoyang feel more at ease."
Kou Zhong nodded slightly.
"Under the current situation, taking the initiative to attack can surprise the enemy! However, with his character, once he finds out that you are at war with Yang Lixin, he will never care about Yang Lixin's life and death, but will directly send his troops to attack Empty Luoyang!"
"There is Dayin in Luoyang, so what if He Zudao comes?" Yang Quanyi said with a smile: "The general and the prince will lead 30,000 people to annihilate Yang Lixin? , and another 20,000 people defended the city. After the general defeated Yang Lixin's troops, they immediately turned around and attacked He Zudao. At that time, the city would be attacked from both sides, leaving He Zudao unable to survive. "
" Is the prince also preparing to go out of the city to fight in person?" Kou Zhong asked.
"Dayin, I am going out with the army. I think it can boost morale even more. Besides, I am an eighth-grade Xuanyuan cultivation base, so I can still kill the enemy. Don't worry, Dayin. , the army is attacking, I will never dare to overstep my command and interfere with General Zhang’s command. I will only be the general who charges in front of General Zhang’s tent!”
Kou Zhong waved his hand: “Go, Your Highness, Zhang Quanyi, Now we can only win, not lose. If things go wrong, we must make a decision immediately. You are right, being trapped is not the answer. Attacking may still gain something. He is just a knife and can be used by others. Come test us. If you can discount this knife, you can rest for a while.”
"Dayin, then I'll go down and arrange it!" Zhang Quanyi said excitedly. He is a general who advocates using offense to solve all problems. Most people want to use the city of Luoyang as a cover because they are afraid of He Zudao, but he scorns it.
Being passively beaten is not a good idea at all.
What's more, now that people's hearts are floating, there are still many people in the city who want to become He Zudao's internal correspondent?
Although these people are not He Zudao, they all hope that He Zudao can defeat Luoyang City.
"Be careful, I hope we will lose a lot of people! He Zudao is indeed an excellent general!" Kou Zhong warned.
"Don't worry Dayin, I will make everyone think that I went out of the city because of him!" Zhang Quanyi said with a smile: "I am quite good at lying to people in my humble position!"
No matter what Zhang Quanyi is so good at deceiving people. His true purpose of sending troops was brought to He Zudao's camp by a fast horse on the first day after he led his army to leave Luoyang.
After reading this secret letter, He Zudao couldn't help laughing. After reading it, the other generals in the tent also laughed wildly. "Zhang Quanyi has only been leading the army for a few days? How dare you do anything in front of the general? It's really ridiculous!" Chen Jianren laughed so hard, "Little did we know that when we were still in Wei County, the general had already guessed what he was going to do. It's all clear."
He Zudao glanced at Yang Lixin at the edge: "Lixin, you see, in the eyes of others, you are a soft persimmon, and everyone wants to take advantage of it. Here you go!”
Yang Lixin's face was red, but he had nothing to say. His family knew about his family affairs, and the soldiers and horses under his command were indeed inferior to those of the Chinese Army and Feng Congwen.
In the past, everyone was just a wanderer on the road. Where did they receive too much formal training? Moreover, the strict control in the military is also a kind of torture for those people. There were quite a few people who escaped along the way, and they still maintain a strength of nearly 20,000 people, a considerable part of whom are young and strong men who were kidnapped to fill up the numbers.
"Everything is in the plan, so just act according to the plan!" He Zudao smiled and said: "Lixin, have you made up your mind, will you follow me? If you still want to stay in the north , I won’t force you, I can let Feng Congwen go, let alone you? I regard you as a brother! But you will have to stand on your own from now on.”
Yang Lixin said: “General. I have thought about it, although it is hard to leave my homeland, but if you leave, I am afraid that I will not be able to survive here. I have a bad mind and only have a lot of strength. I might as well follow you to the south! The rice is quite delicious too!”
There were bursts of laughter in the room again.
"General Yang, in our south, not only is the rice delicious, but there are also more delicacies, and there are also pretty and charming little girls who can make your bones go soft just by talking to them!" said the man waving a big pipe. Ke Wuji was old and disrespectful, but Chen Wan, who was standing behind him, blushed.
He Zudao has been leading the team for decades, and his experience is indeed beyond the comparison of ordinary people.
At the beginning of the dispatch of troops, he guessed that the Luoyang defenders would definitely take the initiative to attack, and the target must be Yang Lixin's seemingly disorganized Green Forest Army.
So, in this chaotic Green Forest Army, a total of 5,000 people belonging to He Zudao were secretly incorporated into the army. He Zudao even decided to go to Yang Lixin's headquarters in person. Go and sit down.
The soft persimmon that Zhang Quanyi wanted to pinch was only discovered when they actually met. It was an iron caltrop, and it would definitely be stabbed to the head with blood.
"Feng Kuan, you take our main force and continue to advance towards Luoyang with great fanfare. Jianren, you will then urge Feng Congwen to speed up. He has the Dinghai Shenzhen. He has been following me for a year or two. Since we want to get together and break up, , He has to take some practical action."
"He wants to go to the new master to claim credit, and destroying Luoyang City is the best meeting gift!" Chen Jianren said: "General, it looks like the Hong family. The Yang family has chosen Linghuye this time! If this becomes public, Linghuye’s worth will rise dramatically!”
“Then we will let them know what’s going on. It's called a blind move!" Ke Wuji banged the cigarette on the sole of his shoe, "General, we will fully assist you. When the time comes to occupy the eight towns in the south, let's take a look at the expressions of these wealthy families!"< br>
Everyone smiled knowingly.
"Let's all do our own thing. See you in Luoyang!" He Zudao stood up and said.
When he walked out of the tent, the expression on Ke Wuji's face seemed a bit complicated.
He Zudao's military prowess was once again fully demonstrated. He counted his opponents to death and made arrangements in advance. Now Yang Lixin's seemingly disorganized army was a big pit. Only when you fall in will you react, but by then, it's already too late.
If in the past in the Eight Towns in the South, He Zudao's glory was overshadowed by his father He Qiku, then from the beginning of the Battle of Hedong to now, everyone finally understood that at the tactical level, He Zudao Ashido is even more cunning and cunning than his father.
This man is indeed a great man of his generation.
Just thinking of what the mysterious innate master said that night made his heart heavy again.
Is He Zudao really the person he says he is?
Is Li Dachui really the posthumous son of Saint Qingqiu?
What is the situation outside the customs?
I hope the people I send out can quickly bring back the answers I want.
