Chapter 471: Out of the city and running north
Youzhou.
General's Palace.
Luo Jing cautiously walked to the side of the bed with a bowl of decoction, and glanced at Luo Geng, who was bedridden, with a distressed face.
The emperor's decree seemed to be just to vent the emperor's dissatisfaction with his father, but it was actually a strategy to punish the heart and kill people.
Luo Jing naturally knew that his father was arrogant and anxious, and what he hated most was to be belittled and looked down upon.
He knew, and so did the emperor.
This will is to rush to kill his father, first exempt Luo Geng from the previous reward, his official position will not move, and he will make meritorious contributions.
Then he said that Luo Geng should obey the dispatch arrangements of Pan Nuo, the envoy of Jizhou Jiedu, but all military affairs must be reported to Pan Nuo, and Pan Nuo's approval can only be implemented.
Luo Geng is such a person, with great military achievements and prestige, who has been in the army for decades, but now he has to ask for instructions from a little-known junior.
How can Luo Geng stand this kind of anger?
When receiving the decree, Luo Geng still held on, pretending to be expressionless and accepted the holy decree, and as soon as the eunuch who delivered the decree left, Luo Geng couldn't hold back.
He sat on his horse and cursed, and the more he scolded, the more angry he became, and he vomited blood so angrily that he fell off his horse.
After returning to Youzhou, Luo Jing hurriedly asked a famous doctor to treat his father, and the doctor said that if he could recuperate well, he could recover slowly, but he must not move again, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable.
How could Luo Jing dare to make his father angry, and only picked up a nice voice and said to his father that he didn't dare to mention a word about the situation.
"Father."
Luo Jing put down the medicine bowl and stepped forward to help Luo Geng up: "It's time to use medicine." ”
Luo Geng shook his head slightly and said, "Let's put it first, I'll eat it when it's cool." ”
He looked sideways at Luo Jing and asked, "What is the military situation over there in Jizhou?" ”
Luo Jing replied: "There is nothing to do, it seems that everything is too peaceful, it is expected that Panno will not dare to move troops easily, his subordinates are all Yuzhou Army has not yet been subdued, and it is not so easy to serve the public, so he will probably always be able to hold on, first clean up the affairs of the Yuzhou Army and then talk about others." ”
Luo Geng said: "Don't underestimate Pan Nuo, the emperor chose him, and Prince Wu recommended him, it must be because this person has extraordinary talents, and he will send more people to Jizhou to find out everything about this person." ”
Luo Jing said: "I made a note of it, and I will arrange for someone to go tomorrow." ”
Luo Geng took a deep breath, was silent for a moment and said: "This little emperor is vicious, with such means, he thinks that he can be involved left and right, and he thinks that he can calm the troubled times, but in fact, he will force people to be anxious. ”
After pondering for a moment, he said: "You can send someone to Yanzhou to send a letter to Zhou Shiren, the envoy of the Yanzhou Festival, I have worked with him, and I vaguely remember that his birthday is next month, and you send someone to send a congratulatory gift." ”
Luo Jing said: "My father defeated this person before, and he also received at least more than 10,000 soldiers and horses from this person, and we are afraid that we will be troubled if we send someone over." ”
"The situation is different, and Zhou Shiren is not stupid."
Luo Geng said: "You send someone to send a congratulatory gift in my name, he naturally knows my intentions, Yanzhou is the most northeastern, if he wants to have a plan, he must pass through my Youzhou, I am here, it will choke his way to send troops, he also wants to reconcile with me, but he can't wipe his face, you go to send him a congratulatory gift, he will be happy." ”
Luo Jing pondered for a moment and said, "Father, I want to unite Yanzhou to control Jizhou?" ”
Luo Geng nodded: "Zhou Shiren was defeated by me easily last time because he underestimated the enemy and advanced again, so he was easily defeated by me, he is afraid that he has an army of 200,000 now, if there is no ambition, how can he expand his military strength like this, the only person Zhou Shiren is afraid of in the north is me, let him know my good intentions, let him understand that I will let him in to fight Jizhou." ”
Luo Jing said: "I'll arrange it right away, and then send him a congratulatory gift in the starry night, father, what congratulatory gift should I prepare?" ”
Luo Geng said: "It doesn't matter what you prepare, the best congratulatory gift is to let him know that if he enters the customs, I will not stop Luo Geng." ”
Jizhou City.
Li Qi and they will always find an opportunity to come out, but the 3,000 elite Jizhou troops under Liu Ge are not easy to come out.
Fortunately, the food stock is sufficient and stable, so I just wait slowly.
Thousands of people come out at a time, even a fool can see that there is a problem, but every time a little bit comes out, every time a little bit comes out, and the number of times is too much, it can slowly stop people from doubting.
Li Qi and Tang Bi took turns to go out to find out the news, and they all knew what was happening outside the underground palace.
Yu Chaozong's condition seems to have improved slightly, but he still can't get out of bed and can only stay in bed to recuperate.
Li Qi and the others discussed, no matter whether they returned to the Yanshan camp or not, they had to find a way to let the people in the Yanshan camp know that the big boss Yu Chaozong was still alive.
Only in this way will the team of the Yanshan battalion not be in civil strife, and now there are still twenty or thirty thousand horses in the cottage, and for those who return to the cottage, whoever catches these two or thirty thousand people will still have a ticket to enter the game in the future.
Yu Chaozong judged that no one would obey anyone in the Golden Armor and the West Fence, but the second brother Zhuang Invincible should have also returned to the cottage, so there should not be so much chaos in the cottage now.
But Zhuang Invincible is the most dangerous.
Moreover, whether it is Zhuang Invincible or Xi Lizi, they actually have no ability to compete for the golden armor.
There were only a few thousand people brought back by Xilianzi, and there was no one around Zhuang Wushu, and the twenty or thirty thousand people who stayed in the cottage were all people with golden armor.
In such a situation, will the Golden Armor give up the power of the army to others?
"I'm worried about Brother Zhuang."
Li Qi said: "So we should still do things separately." ”
He looked at Tang Pidi and said, "You take some people out of the city, go to the grassland to meet Tichana, talk to him, and prepare to come out to fight horses, we can go to buy them at any time in the future." ”
Tang Pidi nodded and said, "Just leave this matter to me." ”
Li Qi said: "I also have to go to the cottage by myself, I don't care who the cottage is, I only care if Brother Zhuang is safe or not." ”
Tang Pidi thought for a while and said: "Now the inventory in and out of the city gate should be extremely strict, you and I can't bring more people when I go out of the city, it's okay to go to see Er Tichina, I can go by myself, if you go back to the Yanshan camp, how can you do it without people around?" ”
Li Qi said: "It's enough for me to bring a few people, the ninth sister and me, plus Zhang Yuxu and Peng Seventeen, we don't need to dress up and look like Jianghu guests, and it's not easy to have problems." ”
Tang Pidi is still not at ease, he wants to let the Taitai Suppression Realm follow, but the way the Tai Tai looks, no one will believe him when he tells people that he is a Jianghu guest.
Besides, there must be someone in the family to sit in charge, so they discussed and discussed, and in the end, Mr. Ye decided to accompany Li Qi on a trip, and Tang was relieved to match them.
Now the defenders in Jizhou City, Jiedu makes Pan Nuo dare not trust too much, it is the Yuzhou army, he has not completely subdued, so he is extremely cautious in employing people.
Early the next morning, Li Qi and they came out of the underground palace, dressed as people who walked the rivers and lakes to go out of the city, and they didn't dare to bring war horses, that thing was too eye-catching, and they would find a way after leaving the city.
The five people were divided into two groups, Li Qi and Zhang Yuxu Peng 17 were in a group, and Mr. Ye and Yu Jiuling were in a group.
Peng Qiqi looked left and right, his face was a little unsightly, he was really a little scared.
Zhang Yuxu immediately sneered: "Before you came out, your cowhide blew so loudly, why did you look like a ghost after you came out." ”
Peng Qizhen said: "A Jianghu guest who doesn't brag is an authentic Jianghu guest?" ”
Zhang Yuxu couldn't refute it.
Unexpectedly, it was not so difficult to get out of the city, Li Qi tried to stuff some silver taels to the guards guarding the door, and those soldiers let them out without even checking.
These soldiers of the Yuzhou Army have left their hometowns here, and the original generals are almost dead, and they are now living a mess and have to live
Besides, if you have money, why do you care about so many things?
After coming out, Peng Seventeen let out a long sigh of relief.
Zhang Yuxu said: "Look at the look that scares you, what are you afraid of?" ”
Peng 17 said: "I'm afraid that they will search me." ”
Zhang Yuxu said: "What forbidden things are you carrying?" We didn't even bring weapons when we went out, what are you afraid of? ”
Peng Qiqi said very seriously: "I'm afraid that if they search me, they will touch me, touch me, they will perceive something, they will feel inferior when they perceive something, and they may beat me if they are inferior." ”
Li Qi listened beside him, sorted out the logic in Li Peng's seventeen words in order, and then looked at Zhang Yuxu as if confused and asked, "Do you understand?" ”
Zhang Yuxu sighed: "What he said his name is the length ......"
Li Qi thought about it again, and then asked, "What's wrong?" ”
Zhang Yuxu looked at Li Qi and said, "Seventeen, don't you owe a beating?" ”
Li Qi said: "Although it's a little smaller, it's normal, right?" ”
Zhang Yuxu paused for a moment, walked low and walked by himself, no one wanted to take care of it.
Peng Qiqi also froze for a moment, walked silently with his head down, and he didn't want to take care of anyone anymore.
Li Qi smiled slightly.
Behind his door, Yu Jiuling and Mr. Ye also came out, not only did they come out, but they also gained a little.
After they caught up with Li Qi, Li Qi was a little surprised when he saw it, when everyone came out, they didn't bring weapons for fear of trouble, but Yu Jiuling and Mr. Ye came out with weapons on their backs, and there were quite a few.
"What is this?"
Li Qi asked curiously.
Yu Jiuling said: "Those soldiers who checked asked us what we were going to do out of the city, and I said that there was no food at home, and there was no food in the city, so I wanted to go out and try our luck, in case we hunted any prey." ”
Yu Jiuling said: "Then the group laughed and said that the two of you went out with your bare hands, what kind of prey can you fight." ”
"I said, we don't have weapons, just like food, we can't buy them if we want, and it's useless to have money."
"The group looked me up and down, and then said that if you have money, you can be useful, as long as you have money, you can buy anything."
Yu Jiuling said: "How smart I am, I understood at that time, so I lowered my voice and asked him, is there a girl?" ”
Li snorted and sprayed all the water he had just drunk.
Yu Jiuling said: "Yes, that's it, when I speak, I also drink water, and I spray it, and you spray water exactly the same." ”
He smiled and said, "That guy, that look at me like a fool." ”
Li Qi said: "There shouldn't be any look in his eyes, right?" ”
Yu Jiuling said: "I'm just tempting, how smart am I, isn't this temptation just a temptation that they also want to sell things, so I spent money to buy all the weapons from them." ”
Li Qi sighed slightly when he heard this letter.
That was the army of Da Chu, and now for a little money, he can even sell his own weapons.
After several life-and-death battles, the soldiers of the Yuzhou Army should have been disheartened.
"If they sell weapons, they are not afraid of being brought to justice?"
"They said they weren't afraid, they said they would just go to the treasury to get it, anyway, no one cares about it now, and the lord of the festival is very indulgent to them now, probably buying people's hearts."
After Li Qi heard this, he suddenly understood, where is what is buying people's hearts, and that Jiedu makes the Lord afraid that he is doing this on purpose, otherwise what reason does he have to kill again?
If he doesn't kill all the generals, how can he rest assured?
Thinking of this, Li Qi sighed with emotion, those soldiers who were good at fighting, now I am afraid that no one wants to fight anymore.
Those who play with people's hearts will also be played with by people's hearts.
