Chapter 22 Later Han Taizu

Luo Shixin raised a thousand catties, this scene shocked everyone in the imperial study, and the eunuchs and guards who were originally standing quietly on the side did not say a word.

"With such divine power, I have been on duty in the palace for half my life, and I am afraid that only General Yuwen Chengdu had it back then."

"Who's to say it isn't? Although General Xue Rengui is strong in martial arts, he is definitely not as powerful as this General Luo. ”

"It's really God bless the Great Sui, there is such a god to help."

。。。。。。。。。。

Yang Gao squinted at these eunuchs and guards who were talking louder and louder, and did not intend to stop them. That's what he wanted.

After all, Luo Shixin had an experience as a thief. Although Qin Qiong also has it, but Qin Qiong surrendered earlier, Yang Gao was still the king of Zhao at that time, before Yang Gao ascended the throne, Qin Qiong was at best a subordinate official of the Zhao Palace, and could not enter the eyes of the courtiers.

But now it's different, Yang Gao has become the king of a country, and his every move will be noticed by the Manchu civil and military, if he rashly promotes an officer who has experience as a thief, it will definitely provoke the displeasure of the Manchu civil and military. Therefore, Yang Gao can let Luo Shixin exert his force, and believes that these eunuch guards will do a good job of propaganda for themselves.

Yang Gao paused and said loudly: "Luo Shixin and Niu Jinda stepped forward to listen to the seal!" ”

Luo Shixin and Niu Jinda both took a step forward, knelt on one knee, and arched their hands and said, "The end will be!" ”

"Luo Shixin is brave and brave, and he will lift a thousand catties, and I will crown you as the general of the chariot cavalry. Niu Jinda, I named you as the Eagle Yang Lang General, in the spring of the next year, I will lead the army to conquer Jiangnan, I hope that Qing and others can shine and live up to my hopes! ”

The two of them were overjoyed when they heard this, and immediately turned over and knelt on the ground, and said excitedly: "Thank you for your kindness, and the last general is willing to smear your majesty's liver and brain, and I will not hesitate to do so!" ”

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, it's a new year. After a winter of preparations, mountains of grain and grass were piled up in the treasury of the major prefectures of Jiangdu, enough to support the 200,000 army for half a year.

Everything is ready, Yang Gao swore in March of the second year of Longxing, in order to prevent Li Mi of the Central Plains from suddenly attacking, Yang Gao left Xue Rengui to sit in Huainan, and transferred Chang Yuchun as the vanguard of the left road, echoing with the Hu'er from the north of the Chuyang Lake, as the front of the army.

Yang Gao personally led Li Siye, Nan Jiyun, Qin Qiong, Luo Shixin, Lai Quan, Qin Yong, Niu Jinda and other generals to command an army of 80,000 troops, left Jiangdu, and slaughtered towards the south of the Yangtze River.

Hailing City, the palace of the king of Chu.

In the battle of Huainan, Li Zitong was captured by the Sui army, and the Chu army left behind in the Jiangnan area fell into a rather embarrassing situation, because Li Zitong was not killed in battle but captured, and he was still alive and well in Jiangdu Prison, plus only Wu Yunzhao, the general under Li Zitong, fought desperately to escape out of the encirclement and fled back to Jiangnan.

And Wu Yun Zhaoyong is brave, but he doesn't have much political brains, there is no way to stabilize the situation in Hailing, the Chu army is unstable, the people are impetuous, many people see that the Chu army is gone, for their own future and life, they have said goodbye.

"Report, report, report!"

A scout rode into the conference hall and said to Wu Yunzhao: "General Wu, the big thing is not good, Emperor Yang Gao of Sui swore in Jiangdu on the seventh day of the first month of last month to go out to conquer Jiangnan, and Chang Yuchun of Huainan has already crossed the Yangtze River with 40,000 troops, and its front vanguard is less than five days away from Hailing!" ”

"Got it!" Wu Yunzhao didn't react much when he heard this, but just waved his hand lightly.

In fact, to be honest, Wu Yunzhao at this time had fallen into despair, otherwise there was a danger of the Yangtze River in hand, even if he was not good at water warfare, even if the military strength of the Chu army was greatly reduced, it would be impossible for Chang Yuchun to cross the Yangtze River without hindrance.

Seeing Wu Yunzhao's appearance, a self-righteous Chu general smiled and said, "General Wu, why didn't you react at all when the Sui army pressed the border, could it be that you are already planning to surrender to the Sui army?" ”

"What did you say?"

Wu Yunzhao suddenly jumped like thunder when he heard this, and shouted loudly: "Where are the left and right, take down this scheming thief for me, drag him out and behead him!" ”

"Yes!"

Several armor soldiers immediately stepped forward, pressed this Chu general to the ground, put his arms on his arms with both hands, ignored his cursing, and dragged him out all the way, and after a miserable scream, everything returned to peace.

Wu Yunzhao looked around the hall fiercely, and said coldly: "If you dare to say that the one who descends, he will be your fate!" ”

"Good, good, good!"

As soon as Wu Yunzhao's voice fell, General Chu, a member of the side clapped his hands and said: "General Wu is really courageous, but why is General Wu only angry at them, but he doesn't care about the Sui army that is about to come to the city?" ”

Wu Yunzhao's face sank, he glanced at this Chu Jiang a few times, and said coldly: "What do you mean by this?" ”

This Chu general is about thirty or so tall, about seven feet tall, with a few short beards under his chin, dressed as a Confucian general, he ignored Wu Yunzhao's fierce murderous aura, and said in a deep voice: "General Wu has a firm stance and does not surrender to the Sui army, but the Sui army is indifferent to the pressure of General Wu, what is the point of asking in such a posture?" ”

Wu Yunzhao smiled bitterly when he heard this, "Liu Zhiyuan, do you think I want to do this?" The king of Chu was captured, the army was discouraged, the general trend of the state of Chu was gone, and there was no power to return to the sky! ”

This Chu general named Liu Zhiyuan is not simple, he is the Liu XX who came in and out of the chaos when Yang Gao summoned Yang Zaixing last time, and Yang Gao has never guessed his identity.

His identity in history is the founding emperor of the Later Han Dynasty in the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, although he also fought against Hu Lu, but he has a loss of personal morality, and he often forgives Du Chongwei and other traitorous generals at will. History books commented that he had the luck to be an emperor, but he did not have the talent to be an emperor. Some of his wisdom and strategies are always aimed at his own future, and nothing else is within the scope of patriotism and love for the people.

Listening to Wu Yunzhao's words, Liu Zhiyuan shook his head disdainfully, "Where there is a will, there is a way, if General Wu does not have the confidence to fight against the Sui army, then it is better to surrender directly to the Sui army, why bother with this little daughter posture?" ”

"Liu Zhiyuan, you are bold, you dare to insult General Wu!"

Several other Chu generals were furious when they heard this, and they accused Liu Zhiyuan of committing the following crimes.

"Shut up!"

Wu Yunzhao slapped the table heavily, turned his head to look at Liu Zhiyuan, and said in a deep voice: "Liu Zhiyuan, since you say so, you can't imagine that you have any strategy to resist the Sui army!" ”

Liu Zhiyuan said proudly: "Of course! ”

Wu Yunzhao's face was overjoyed when he heard this, "What's the plan?" Hurry up! ”

Liu Zhiyuan stretched out three fingers and said lightly: "Three things, first, quickly contact Shen Faxing of Wu County, Shen Faxing will never stand idly by." The second thing is to contact Li Mi in the Central Plains and Li Yuan in Guanzhong, presumably they don't want Yang Gao to dominate Jiangnan. The third thing, which is also the most critical thing, is to destroy the Sui army's forward Chang Yu Chunbu, only in this way will our army have the morale to continue fighting, and it is possible for Li Mi and Li Yuan to attack Yang Gao. ”
