Luo Zhaoyun's caravan walked for a month, all the way west, through Loufu County, crossed the Yellow River, entered Diaoyin County, and then changed course to the south, because further west, was Shuofang County. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Two months ago, Liang Shidu killed Tang Shizong, the Cheng of Shuofang County, occupied Shuofang County to rebel, proclaimed himself the prime minister, and joined forces with the Turks to crisscross the Hetao.

The Sui general Zhang Shilong was sending troops to encircle and suppress, and the two sides were fighting, and due to the addition of the Turkic cavalry, they were gradually defeated, and the situation was critical.

Once the main force of the Sui army in the Shuofang area is defeated, it will soon be able to sweep through the counties of Diaoyin, Honghua, Yan'an and other counties, and the power will become bigger and stronger.

After Luo Zhaoyun learned the news here, he paused, shook his head, and was not moved, and directly ordered to continue on his way, without having to make any extraneous branches.

If you can't bear it, you will make a big plan, and the scene of the confrontation between the Sui army and the rebellious ministers and thieves is being staged everywhere, and he came forward to help, there is no point, or take the lead in rushing to Xihai County where he is going safely, regain control of the northwest military power, and then plan for others.

The caravan of three or four hundred people went south from Diaoyin County, and then entered the northwest of Yan'an County, passed through this county, and entered Honghua County.

On the way, they encountered several attacks by bandits and mountain bandits, but they were all wiped out by this elite guard Thunder.

On this day, everyone entered a small Chengyi, Hongde City, to carry out a certain supply of grain, grass, horses, and medicine.

There were more than ten battles along the way, and there must have been casualties, and some people were infected with the cold, so more than 30 wounded people had to be temporarily put in this city.

Although this is a small town in the northwest, the [Tianluo] organization has set up a contact point here.

That night, Luo Zhaoyun got some news of the chaos in the northwest, and summoned the eldest grandson Wuji, Du Ruhui and others to discuss the next route.

"You see, out of Honghua County, that is, Pingliang County, after passing through this county, to the west is Huining County, southwest is Longxi County, these two counties have been occupied by Xue Ju's rebels. And Jincheng County, which borders Huining and Longxi, is on the road that we must pass through in the southwest, where Xue Ju's power is even greater. ”

"If we pass Huining County, we go northwest to Xiping County and Wuwei County, which are occupied by Li Liang's rebels, so no matter which two roads we take, we will face certain dangers; With the habits of the rebels, when they see a convoy like ours, they will definitely intercept and loot, and fighting is inevitable. ”

After listening to Luo Zhaoyun's description, the eldest grandson Wuji and the others also showed embarrassment, understanding that in the next few days, it was likely to be a constant fight and there would be many dangers.

Du Ruhui said: "My subordinates think that it is better to break into Xiping County from the northwest of Huining County, although it is a plateau area, but the terrain is open, suitable for the team to run, the road is not unique, there are not many checkpoints to block, the chance of escape and breakthrough is greater, if you take the southwest route, Jincheng County, the terrain is complex, and there is a fortress of the Great Wall, it is not easy to break through." ”

"If you are right, your subordinates will second." The eldest grandson Wuji nodded, supporting Du Ruhui's view.

Xue Wancheng, Mai Jicai, and Zhou Zhongyin are all generals, so they will think a little simpler.

Cheng Mingzhen was a demoted general who was captured from Dou Jiande's army, and he always felt inferior, so he rarely spoke.

Luo Zhaoyun stared at him and asked: "Mr. Cheng, you have served in Zhuo County for several months, and your achievements are remarkable, and the people are very supportive of your governance, I see that you are both civil and military, so I deliberately took you with me, what do you think, it doesn't hurt to say it directly, there is no need to have any scruples, I Luo Cheng employs people, is it doubtful, and I don't suspect it?" ”

Cheng Mingzhen was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect this Young Marshal Luo to be so direct, in front of everyone, and say this directly.

Although he was a little embarrassed on his face, he was still a little grateful in his heart, and after saying this, he took care of his face and directly brought him closer to this circle, so that the rest of the people were impressed by him and would not deliberately exclude him.

Cheng Mingzhen arched his hand and said: "Cheng is not talented, and he has not come up with any other way for the time being, so he agrees with Mr. Du's words." ”

Luo Zhaoyun nodded, similar to his initial thinking, it is easy to break through when you go to Xiping County, but the disadvantage is that on the wasteland, there is no cover, and it is easy to find the target, so you have to be fast and get rid of the entanglement.

At this time, Luo Zhaoyun wanted to appease the army, and said: "Here, we will supply more than 100 people, all of them are cavalry teams, open the road in front, bow and arrow crossbow machines, as well as protective inner armor, and excellent war horses are prepared more in case of emergency, in addition, I will send someone to send information, so that the garrison of Xihai County will go to Xiping County to respond, so I have a greater grasp." ”

When everyone heard that reinforcements were coming, they all let go of a lot of worries.

A few days later, the convoy continued on the road, passing through Huining County and entering the area of Xiping County.

The vast plateau, the endless meadows, the green mountains are far away, and a few white clouds flutter in the blue sky.

Everyone's vision suddenly broadened, and it was no longer the mountains and rivers of the Central Plains.

The next day, the convoy really ran into trouble, not the grassland people attacked, but the so-called rebel army under the command of Li Rail, in fact, it was similar to the robbers, seeing the caravan convoy, they came directly to rob, plundered the wealth as military salaries, and the men were either killed or conscripted into the army, and if there were female dependents, they were often either ravaged or handed over to the generals.

"Young marshal, look at the smoke and dust, there are hundreds of cavalry, more than a thousand infantry, diagonally from the northwest to intercept."

Luo Zhaoyun looked calm and said calmly: "Change lanes, break out, and wait for the infantry to pull away for a distance, and then pack up this group of cavalry." ”

"Yes!" Xue Wancheng, Mai Jicai and other military attachés heard that they could still fight back, and they were all ready to fight.

"Change the car road, insert the southwest position, drive-" Zhou Zhongyin rode in front to play the vanguard, taking the lead in changing the route, and the war horses and convoys behind changed the route one after another.

The rebels under Li Liang rode freely, shouted and cursed, and rushed from the diagonal rear.

"Stop!"

"Leave money and horses to spare a dog's life!"

Due to the high speed of the cavalry, the remaining more than 1,000 foot armorers have been thrown far away.

Luo Zhaoyun looked back at the more than five hundred rebel cavalry teams, a sneer overflowed from the corners of his mouth, and his heart was ruthless: I will let you have no return.
