Chapter 495: Change of Life?
The silver glow of the moon gently sprinkled down from the sky and spread over the whole land, so it was very quiet before the night heard the sound of crickets. Occasionally, night birds flutter their wings and fly through the sky, and the sound of their wings flapping is so clear. The cavalrymen were already asleep wrapped in blankets, and no one was talking.
Fang Xie sat under an old tree with a crooked neck, quietly listening to Chen Xiaoru's report.
Chen Xiaoru's voice was hoarse, and it was obvious that these days were really hard.
"My subordinates didn't expect it to be like this......"
Chen Xiaoru secretly glanced at Fang Jie's face by the moonlight, perhaps because of the backlight, he didn't see anything.
"Not long after the imperial army conquered Xiangcheng, Luo Yao's men stationed in Sipan Town began to march eastward. As soon as the soldiers and horses of the left avant-garde moved, the wolf cavalry of Koktai Menglie also moved. His Majesty asked the general Gao Kaitai to lead about 200,000 troops to fortify Qinchuan, and as soon as the left guard got out of the way, Gao Kaitai's men and horses would directly face Meng Yuan's wolf cavalry. It's just that...... No one thought that Koktai Menglie would actually make a move on the left forward. β
Although more than ten days have passed, it is obvious that Chen Xiaoru has not recovered from the shock.
"The left front guard only let go of Sipan Town, and Meng Yuan wolf cavalry launched an attack on the left front guard from behind without warning, and more than 200,000 wolf horses were divided into three ways, and the trident poked into the rear team of the left front guard fiercely. Luo Yao probably never expected that Meng Yuanren would attack him, and even if the left front guard was suddenly attacked, it would be immediately chaotic. Just when Luo Yao mobilized the armies to stabilize the position, Gao Kaitai's army pounced from the other side, and the left avant-garde suffered the enemy on the back of the abdomen, and retreated in defeat, it is said that the left avant-garde lost nearly half of the soldiers and horses in this battle, and Luo Yao suffered a big loss. β
"After the successful sneak attack of Koktai Menglie, he has been chasing after the left guard and sticking to kill, and the left front guard has withdrawn to the south for hundreds of miles, changing the battle and retreating. If it weren't for Luo Yao's heavy cavalry battalion being really strong, such a team that was chased and killed by the wolf cavalry would have been completely defeated. β
"The subordinates don't understand why Kuketai Menglie didn't copy behind His Majesty's army but did it to Luo Yao, and they don't understand the actions of Gao Kaitai's department. Since that day, he and Kuktai Menglie joined forces to defeat the left front guard, Meng Yuan wolf cavalry pursued the left front guard, but Gao Kaitai withdrew with his men and horses, and it is estimated that he has now returned to Hedong Road with the assistance of the water division. β
Fang Xie took a deep breath after hearing these news, and the shock in his heart was no lighter than Chen Xiaoru's.
He also didn't expect that the Meng Yuan people would move troops against Luo Yao, such a turn was too abrupt to be unpredictable.
"Before the subordinates came back, the left avant-garde was about to retreat to Mangdang Mountain."
Chen Xiaoru sorted out his wording and continued: "If it weren't for the sudden attack of Meng Yuan's wolf cavalry, Luo Yao's hundreds of thousands of troops would probably have reached Luoshui. However, it seems that Gao Kaitai seems to have known that Kuketai Menglie would do this before, obviously he was still in Qinchuan, and he marched more than 100 miles in a day and a night and suddenly killed the left front and rear side, which happened to form a front and rear attack with Meng Yuan's wolf cavalry. If it weren't for this without warning, if the elite of the left avant-garde soldiers were to face the enemy head-on, even if Gao Kaitai and Koktai Menglie joined forces, they might not be able to win. β
"The Emperor's ......"
Fang Jie's tense expression slowly relaxed a little, and then he let out a long sigh of relief.
"I now finally know what the emperor's back hand is, and no one would have thought of this move...... It was obviously a helper invited by Li Yuanshan, but it became a steel knife borrowed by His Majesty at the most critical time. β
Fang Xie sorted out the thoughts in his mind for a while, and couldn't help but shake his head: "No matter when the emperor started arranging this move, it was heavy enough for Luo Yao to deal a blow to Li Yuanshan. Li Yuanshan calculated for so long, and Luo Yao calculated for so long, but he didn't expect that the emperor would actually join forces with Meng Yuanren...... This is something that Li Yuanshan and Luo Yao would never think about, that is His Majesty the Emperor of the Great Sui, how can he form an alliance with the Meng Yuan barbarian? β
Zhuo Buyi, who was sitting on the side, had only recovered a little now, and his face was solemn: "It really exceeded everyone's expectations, because no one would think about this aspect at all." Everyone believed that anyone could join forces with the Mengyuan people, but the emperor couldn't ...... But because it was impossible, the emperor suppressed both opponents in an instant. β
He slapped his face a few times, still unable to believe the news was true.
"When did the Great Sui Emperor negotiate with the Mengyuan people? And why did you join forces with the Mengyuan people? β
Wanyan Chongde couldn't understand why the situation suddenly became like this, how could enemies who were obviously enemies suddenly become allies?
"When the impossible becomes possible, there is only one reason for its completion."
Fang Xie sighed: "That is, His Majesty the Emperor and the Meng Yuan people have found common interests, so it is impossible to become a matter of course." Perhaps, the emperor had already arranged all this before he came out of Chang'an City, rather than making a decision after arriving in the northwest. β
Chen Xiaoru suddenly smiled: "The subordinates have been fantasizing about what Luo Yao's expression would be at that time, no one has ever been able to calculate him for so many years, and no one has ever been able to take the victory from the left forward, but this time he is a ......."
Fang Xie sighed: "Judging from the news I have learned now, although it seems that Luo Yao has been in the game, he has never entered the game. He is said to be in the bureau because he is the one who facilitated the decisive battle between the imperial army and the rebels. And he is not in the game because he can get out anytime and anywhere. But suddenly, this outsider who has the greatest initiative has suddenly become the common enemy of everyone in the bureau, even if Luo Yao uses his troops like a god, what can he do? β
He stood up and looked at the east: "Once Li Yuanshan knows the news, I'm afraid that the situation in Xiping City will also change." β
β¦β¦
β¦β¦
Xiping City
With a bang, the food that had just been sent into the house was thrown out, and the porcelain plate was smashed in the yard, and the fried vegetables were spilled on the ground.
"Get out!"
An angry roar came from the room, followed by several men in chamberlain costumes, all of whom turned pale with fright. They didn't even dare to turn their heads back, lest they run too slowly and be swallowed up by the murderous aura of the angry man in the room. The people outside didn't know what was wrong with King Dingxi, although he looked in a bad mood before, he didn't get angry, until the general Shi Lei hurriedly went in just now, and King Dingxi's anger seemed to rise immediately.
"Villain!"
Crash
I don't know if it's a cup or a teapot, and it seems that King Dingxi's anger can only be used to vent his anger with these things.
"The Lord Quits His Wrath"
General Shi Lei cautiously persuaded.
"Anger?!"
Li Yuanshan, who was wearing a black embroidered dragon king robe, kicked the table over: "First Luo Yao, then Kuketai Menglie, they are all despicable villains!" If Luo Yao let go of Sipan Town, if he came to Xiping City to encircle and suppress Yang Yi, how could he let Meng Yuanren stab him in the back, it can only show that he didn't plan to come to Xiping City at all, but planned to march eastward! Kuktai Menglie is even more shameless, in the past three years, he has eaten and held Lonely, but he has become Lone's enemy at a critical time! β
Li Yuanshan's face was hard to see, and anger spread outward from his eyes: "In the past three years, Gu has spent countless money and food to feed the enemy!" β
"Father, don't be angry."
Li Xiaoche hurriedly stepped forward and helped Li Yuanshan to sit down on the chair: "Father, in fact, it's not too late to know the true face of Koketai Menglie now, and it may not be a good thing for us to poke the knife in Luo Yao's back." At the very least, Koktai Menglie did not directly use troops against us. β
Li Yuanshan shook his head: "Che'er...... What you say makes sense, but how can you not be angry when your father's hard work has been wasted for three years? Lonely and painstakingly running the northwest only waited for today, I thought that the great cause would be successful, but I didn't expect it to be such a result. If Luo Yao and Kuoketai Menglie were not treacherous, Gu would already be carrying Yang Yi's head in his hands now! β
He stomped his foot heavily: "In the past three years, Lone has been planning hard, and everything is in Lone's expectations, but I didn't expect Yang Yi to join forces with Meng Yuanren...... Lone knew that Luo Yao was unreliable, so he didn't plan to let Luo Yao enter the game from the beginning, Lone just borrowed Luo Yao's momentum. Even if Luo Yao doesn't betray his trust, Lone will have to get rid of this person sooner or later. Lone just regretted that he had mistakenly believed Meng Yuan's barbarian! β
Shi Lei was silent for a while and said, "Lord, my subordinates just can't figure it out, how could Yang Yi reach an agreement with Koketai Menglie?" When did they communicate with each other? Why did Koktai Menglie choose to stand with Yang Yi? β
"Why?"
Li Yuanshan sneered: "It's not because of ...... interests"
He said with a sad voice: "It's Gu who underestimated Yang Yi and underestimated Koktai Mengge......"
"The subordinates still don't understand"
Shi Lei asked: "When Meng Ge sent Koktai Menglie to lead the army into the customs, was he already preparing for today's events?" If that's the case, then what exactly is MΓΆnggo's purpose?! β
"Make the Central Plains more chaotic!"
Li Yuanshan replied: "I can only understand Koktai Mengge's intentions now, and I also understand Yang Yi's intentions...... Hmph, Yang Yi, as the emperor of the Great Sui, did not hesitate to borrow the hands of the enemy to achieve his own goals, and he was far inferior to the emperors of the Yang family by virtue of this. The Yang family has always claimed that they would rather die in battle than compromise with the enemy, but Yang Yi broke this rule, so even if he wins once, what can he do? The Yang family will be infamous because of him! β
When he said this, he completely forgot that the Meng Yuan wolf ride was brought into the northwest by him.
"Father, child foolish"
Li Xiaoche was puzzled: "The child still doesn't understand, why did Koktai Meng Ge do this, and why Yang Yi did this." β
"Lone just said ......"
A trace of hatred flashed in Li Yuanshan's eyes: "If you think about it carefully, it is not difficult to guess why Meng Ge did this. If nothing else, Yang Yi had already reached an agreement with Meng Ge before leaving Chang'an. Kuketai Menglie didn't have the courage to negotiate with Yang Yi without Meng Ge's consent, so Gu now understood why Yang Yi waited until two years later to launch troops in the northwest...... In the past two years, he must have sent someone to secretly negotiate with Meng Ge. Gu first thought that Yang Yi wanted to mobilize people and prepare properly, but it turned out that he had started planning for today's knife two years ago. β
He let out a long sigh: "The reason why Meng Ge is like this is because he wants to make the Central Plains more chaotic. He didn't want to see an irreversible victory on either side, Lone, Yang Yi, Luo Yao...... Kuoketai Menglie led the army to fight Luo Yao first because he felt that Luo Yao was the strongest. In a decisive battle between Lone and Yang Yi, no matter who wins or loses, his strength will be greatly damaged, and Luo Yao is the only one who will benefit. Meng Ge didn't want a strong opponent in the Central Plains, and he didn't have the ability to conquer this country, so he planned to disrupt this country. β
"Gu doesn't know what Meng Ge and Yang Yi have traded, but Gu is sure that Yang Yi will send someone to contact him precisely because he saw through Meng Ge's thoughts."
"So what do we do?"
Li Xiaoche asked eagerly.
"What should I do?"
Li Yuanshan muttered and repeated, and then stood up suddenly: "Lone suddenly thought of something!" β
"What?"
Yang Yi ...... It's about exchanging lives with Lonely! β
