Chapter 599: Awakening and Self-Realization
Anyang City.
Luo Jing stood on the city wall, holding his clairvoyance and looking at the south bank of the Nanping River.
It's been more than ten days, Prince Wu's army has gone and returned, and he still doesn't move, so the old horseman will probably explode angrily again.
Thinking that the old horseman's plan to lure the enemy failed, Luo Jing felt a little happy in his heart.
At this moment, the more he thought about what Li Qi said, the more he felt that it made sense.
Li Qi said that it is not us who is anxious, but Prince Wu.
Prince Wu was not only anxious to settle the war in Anyang, but he was also anxious to go in all directions to solve other wars.
Thinking of this, Luo Jing sighed lightly in his heart.
Although he kept scolding Prince Wu for being an old horseman, and he had always wanted to kill him quickly, he had to have some respect for Prince Wu in his heart.
If Da Chu is a building, more than half of the foundation of this building has collapsed.
It was Prince Wu who carried it on his shoulders, his back was bent, but he still carried the building without falling.
Luo Jing put down the clairvoyance and looked at the Nanping River, there was not even a boat.
Whether it is a merchant or a fisherman, they all feel that war is about to start here, and no one will hide far away.
What do you want in troubled times?
It's just a matter of survival.
The surface of this river is rare and clean, but it looks depressed.
Just then, he saw a small boat coming from the south bank, with only three or five people on board.
After a short time, the boat reached the north bank of the river, and the people who got off the boat were soon surrounded by the Youzhou army.
After another moment, the soldiers of the Youzhou Army immediately escorted those people towards Anyang City.
Anyang City is actually not very close to the river, ten miles away, but this area has an open terrain and an excellent line of sight.
Standing on the high city wall and observing the south bank of the river with clairvoyance, there is nothing to obstruct.
After waiting for a while, his subordinates came to report the news, saying that Yang Jiju, the prince of Wu, had sent someone to deliver a letter to Luo Jing.
Luo Jingxin said that this old thief didn't know what tricks he was going to play, but he was also curious.
So Luo Jing ordered someone to bring the people sent by Prince Wu to see what was going on.
It was a young man who came, dressed like a school captain.
Luo Jing looked up and down and asked, "Who are you?" ”
The young man replied proudly: "I am Liu Wan, the captain under the account of Prince Wu, and I am on the orders of the prince to send you a letter and a gift from the prince. ”
Luo Jing said: "The letter is handed over. ”
His subordinates then went over and took Prince Wu's letter from Liu Wan's hand.
Luo Jing opened the letter and looked at it, only for a moment, his face changed, obviously angry.
His angry face startled Luo Zhijie.
The approximate meaning of Prince Wu's letter is ......
Luo Jing, you are a junior, you are still young, so you don't know, in fact, I have a good relationship with your father.
Over the years, your father has given me many gifts, and your father has also said that if the king is willing, he is willing to be the king's son.
So, in this case, you are almost the godgrandson of this king.
Although it didn't work out in the end, I still treat you as a godgrandson, and I'll give you some gifts when you come here.
These are the letters that your father wrote to me, and you can see how your father flattered me in the first place.
There's another thing that your father gave me in the first place, and I like it and wear it all the time.
It is a jasper carved amulet, with the word peace engraved on the front and the words of prayer engraved on the back.
Your father said that it was carved by his own hand, and that it was sincere in his heart, and that the words of prayer were prayed for as a junior.
That's probably what it means, how can Luo Jing not be angry after reading this letter?
He squinted his eyes slightly at Liu Wan, but Liu Wan sneered and said, "If you want to kill me, just give the order, if you frown, count me as losing." ”
Luo Jing looked at the man's contemptuous look and suddenly smiled.
"King Wu is indeed an elder, in terms of age, he is more than ten years older than my father, and in terms of generation, it is not wrong."
Luo Jing got up with a smile, looked at Liu Wan and said, "King Wu is really ruthless, he found a young man like you to send him to death." ”
"He must have told you, what's your name? Yes, Liu Bang ......"
"His old man said, Liu Wan, if you go this time, you will probably die and die, are you afraid?"
Luo Jing looked at Liu Wan's eyes and said: "You just say, you are not afraid of lowly duties, the life of lowly duties is the prince's, and you are willing to die for the prince." ”
He walked around Liu Wan, walking in a circle.
Luo Jing said: "King Wu, his old man continued, I sent you this time, in fact, the purpose is to provoke Luo Jing, if he is provoked by me, he will lead the army out of the city to fight with me." ”
"He will also tell you that if he does not go out of the city, we will have no chance of winning this battle."
Luo Jing stopped, looked at Liu Wan and asked, "Am I guessing right?" ”
Liu Wan's face was a little ugly, but he glared at Luo Jing and did not answer.
Luo Jing became happy, thinking that if he encountered anything in the future, he would think more about Li Qi's words, which would be useful.
So he continued to walk around Liu Wan in a circle and continued to speak.
"I can still guess that your prince said, Liu Wan...... If we can't achieve a quick victory, we will not have enough food and grass, and the war in other places will be very tight, and we will not be able to afford to delay it. ”
"He said to you in a serious voice, Liu Wan, I want to borrow something from you, that is, to borrow your life."
"If Naluo Realm, I provoked you to go out of the city to fight, you died as you deserved, if Naluo Realm did not go out of the city, I would also kill you, our army is now disheartened, morale is low, the news of your death is transmitted back to the army, it can arouse the same hatred of the enemy, can boost morale."
Luo Jing stopped again, looked at Liu Wan and smiled, "What do I guess?" ”
Liu Wan's face is already difficult to see the extreme.
He looked at Liu Wan's entourage: "I will follow your prince's wishes, Liu Wan and I will keep it, and you will go back for him." ”
Luo Jing looked at Luo Zhijie and ordered: "Go, pack a box of ginseng and deer antler velvet, fill whatever is a big supplement, fill it, and let him take it back to honor His Royal Highness King Wu." ”
He looked at the entourage again and said, "After going back, tell King Wu that he is an old man, his grandson Luo Jing, and say hello to him, I wish him a long life, and I wish him well." ”
Luo Jing said: "Liu Wan, I will also fulfill you, aren't you not afraid of death?" Then die slowly. ”
He smiled and said, "Prince Wu's vicious strategy, you can't do anything to me, just kill you." ”
"If he wants his soldiers to have the same hatred for the enemy, I will give it to him, but I will kill you directly, and the strength of the reward is not enough."
Luo Jing turned around and shouted, "Guan Feicheng." ”
Guan Feicheng immediately stepped forward: "The subordinates are here." ”
Luo Jing said: "On the riverside, build a wooden frame, which should be high, at least three zhang, strip this righteous man naked and tie it to the wooden frame, so that Prince Wu and his subordinates can see how badly they have harmed others, don't beat him and scold him, just starve, see how many days you can starve to death." ”
After finishing speaking, Luo Jing waved his hand: "Let's go, tell him the old man, I'm afraid of him, I don't dare to fight him, don't come to beat me, I'll hide in the city, and I won't go out." ”
With that, he returned to his seat, sat down, and crossed his legs.
Guan Feicheng shouted, and the soldiers of the Youzhou Army outside the door immediately came in, and tied up Liu Wan with three strikes and five divisions.
Liu Wan's entourage was put back, along with a box of tonic medicine given to them by Luo Zhijie.
Only two hours later, the wooden frame by the river was fought, and it was three feet long.
There was a wooden stake standing on the wooden frame, and the soldiers of the Youzhou Army tied Liu Bang firmly to the stake.
Luo Jing once again stood on the wall of Anyang City, holding up his clairvoyance to look at the wooden frame.
"Old thief, want to be angry with me and force me to fight?"
Luo Jing smiled to himself: "Fortunately, when I left Youzhou, when I left the city gate,
Li Qi said...... Sometimes happiness doesn't have to be a hearty fight on the battlefield. ”
He let out a slow breath.
I realized Li Qi's happiness.
It's really more enjoyable than going to a hearty kill.
As I was looking at it, my mind suddenly lit up again.
Another thing comes to mind.
When Jizhou was supplying grain and grass materials, Tang Pidi also had a word with him.
Tang Pi said to him that if Prince Wu's army arrived in Anyang, he would be in a hurry to fight.
He will do everything he can, either to persecute or to lure, to get you out of the city for a decisive battle.
If you don't go out of the city, he is unwilling, and a confrontation will be formed.
Prince Wu knows your reputation for being good at fighting, and he is afraid that as soon as he leaves, you will wave your army to attack Yuzhou, so he will not leave easily.
If there is a confrontation, you just have to divide your troops and take down all the states and counties around Anyang.
If he is willing to be on the south bank of the river, just let him be there, you ignore him, just go and subdue the surrounding places.
Prince Wu must want to lead you to attack him, then you also lead him to attack you, crossing the river, whoever crosses the river first will be beaten.
After Luo Jing arrived in Anyang, as soon as he got busy, he forgot about Tang Pi's explanation.
I just thought that I couldn't divide the troops and go out, and I had to leave all my strength to deal with the army of Prince Wu.
Thinking about it now, Luo Jing couldn't help but think about it again and again, thinking about Tang Rival's words, can he listen to them?
After hesitating for a while, I finally made up my mind.
He turned around and ordered, "Luo Zhijie, you will take 20,000 people out of the city tomorrow." ”
Luo Zhijie hurriedly asked, "Attack on the south bank?" ”
"Attack the fart."
Luo Jing said with a smile: "Right under the nose of that old horseman, let him watch, I have collected all the dozens of states and counties around Anyang, and I can't see him coming." ”
Luo Zhijie immediately nodded and said, "The young general's clever plan!" ”
Luo Jing wanted to say that this was Tang's strategy, but when the words came to his lips, he swallowed them back.
He smiled and said, "Now don't always say that I'm easy to be impulsive and can't suppress my temperament." ”
Luo Zhijie felt that the young general after arriving in Anyang City had changed as if he had changed his life, and he acted in every way, which was different from before.
Such a young general, if the old general knows what he said, he will be pleased.
How did he know that all the things that Luo Jing came to Anyang were taught by Li Qi and Tang Pi.
Luo Jing is a good-looking person, so naturally he won't say it.
Luo Zhijie took the order to leave, go and pick up the people, and leave Anyang City tomorrow to sweep the surroundings of Anyang.
If Prince Wu saw it, he would definitely be angry.
Luo Jing leaned against the city wall, happy, and suddenly felt a little worried.
He thought that although it seemed that what Li Qi and Tang Pidi said was very reasonable, he would try to listen to it as little as possible in the future.
If over time, I will become dependent on those two people, and in that case, I will gradually lose my opinions.
His hand slapped on the battlements.
He smiled, and said that it was a matter for the future, and he would talk about it in advance now.
In fact, for a person like Luo Jing, at this time, he was happy and a little sad, and he didn't want to admit it, it was a trace of inferiority.
Whether it is Li Qi or Tang Biao, his thoughtfulness and calmness are indeed above him.
He forced himself to stop thinking about it and to think about the war instead.
In the vicinity of Anyang, dozens of prefectures and counties are very rich, and some prefectures and counties can even be said to be rich.
If all of them are in the bag, whether it is the scope of the territory under control or the money and materials obtained, it will exceed that under the rule of Youzhou.
Based on this place, it will be possible to expand the army by 100,000 in less than a year.
In two years, it will be able to raise at least 200,000 troops.
Luo Jing exhaled slowly, and then looked at the south bank of the river.
"Old thief, you wait for me."
