In mid-February, the weather was already good, and people wanted to die of this spring.

Everywhere there was a gentle wind, everywhere there were blooming flowers, and everywhere, there was also a piece of verdant green.

Qin Tian rushed to Baozhou with his soldiers and horses, and he was a little reluctant to speed up his pace along the way.

However, the matter of destroying Luo Yi was a bit urgent, so even so, they still moved quickly, and after a short time, they came to the outside of Baozhou City.

The reason why Baozhou is called Baozhou is that it means to defend Youzhou.

If you want to capture Youzhou, you must first break through Baozhou, otherwise you have no way to go to Youzhou.

When the Tang army came to the border of Baozhou, it was the afternoon of that day, so they did not rush to attack the city, but set up camp in Wuli outside Baozhou.

The soldiers set up camp, and Qin Tian, Xu Maogong, and Cheng Yanjin were in the army's tent to discuss how to attack the city.

"Ladies and gentlemen, we have come to Baozhou, and there will be a big battle soon, but how to fight this battle, I wonder if you have any ideas?"

Qin Tian asked, Cheng Biting Jin said: "How else can I fight, I will rest for a night today, and tomorrow morning, we will attack the city directly, we have the Tang Dynasty crossbow, there are trebuchets, and we are afraid of a small Baozhou City?" ”

For Baozhou City, Cheng Yanjin is very disdainful, and thinks that as long as they send troops, they can capture it.

It's just that Cheng Yanjin didn't care, but Li Ji smiled: "Baozhou had 5,000 soldiers and horses to defend before, and I heard that Luo Buping, the son of Luo Yi, later brought 20,000 soldiers and horses, 25,000 soldiers and horses, which is not easy to attack, we only have 35,000, and then we will attack Youzhou, and attacking the city is not the best choice for us." ”

Fighting, Li Ji is much more powerful than Cheng Biting Jin, what Cheng Biting Jin said is simply not thinking through the brain, he only knows how to fight.

And after Li Ji finished saying this, the others looked at each other, and naturally they didn't think that it was a good choice to attack directly.

"British duke, since it is not good for us to attack the city, then what do you think we should do, it seems unlikely that they will go out of the city to fight us."

Everyone looked at Li Ji, Qin Tian also cast his gaze, Li Ji thought for a while, and said: "Luo Buping is a somewhat reckless person, and he has been defeated by Qin Tian before, if we can provoke him and let him go out of the city to fight, we don't have to attack the city." ”

Thinking of what Luo Buping did in Chang'an City back then, everyone felt that what Li Ji said made sense, such a person should be easily provoked, right?

Qin Tian thought for a while and said, "Since this is the case, then early tomorrow morning, we will go outside the city to call for a battle and force Luo Buping to go out of the city to fight with us." ”

Everyone didn't discuss it too much, and after saying so, they retreated to rest.

At this time, in Baozhou City, Luo Buping had also learned the news of the arrival of the Tang Army and was making some arrangements.

The night went on like this, and the next morning the weather was fine and the breeze was smoky.

Qin Tian took the soldiers and horses to the city of Baozhou, and Luo Buping at this time had already come to the city tower.

When he saw Qin Tian under the city, Luo Buping's face became very ugly, back then, it was this person who robbed his eldest brother Luo Cheng's ninth princess, and beat him.

Now, it can be said that the enemies are very angry when they see each other.

It's just that although he was very angry in his heart, he was very calm at this time.

"My father, King Yan, did not offend the Holy Lord, why did the Holy Lord send troops to come to crusade?" Luo Buping asked, to fight a war, the division must be famous, if the division is unknown, it is easy to affect morale.

Now, Luo Buping wants to use this to weaken the morale of the Tang army.

Qin Tian here, he smiled: "Didn't offend the saint?" It's really a joke, the disgusting assassin assassin Assassin Shengshang, intending to rebel, isn't this an offense? In the first year of Zhenguan, King Yan let the Turks enter the customs and approached Chang'an City, which is simply a traitor to the enemy, isn't this offended? If King Yan doesn't want to be killed, he will surrender quickly, the saint will be merciful, and he can spare his life, otherwise, when Benhou captures Youzhou City, he must be broken into thousands of pieces. ”

For Luo Buping's careful thinking, Qin Tian is naturally clear, and Qin Tian is clear, so he naturally wants to fight back, the assassination is not true, but the matter of letting the Turks enter the customs is true.

In this way, there are truths and falsehoods in his words, but he can also refute Luo Buping, and the Weishui Alliance is the only hatred in the heart of the Tang Army, and now mentioning it will only make the morale of the Tang Army more vigorous.

After Qin Tian said this, Luo Buping was a little speechless, there was indeed no assassination, but the matter of letting the Turks attack Chang'an was absolutely true, Li Shimin's strength was not good at that time, so he didn't make trouble with them, but not looking for trouble doesn't mean that he forgot about it.

Luo Buping's eyebrows were fixed, but he refused to admit it.

"Slander, it's all slander."

Qin Tian smiled: "Too lazy to talk nonsense with your subordinates, Ben Hou regretted it a little, I knew that your father and son were not such things, and when they were in Chang'an City, they should have abolished you, so that you could no longer jump, but it doesn't matter now, it's not too late to destroy you now." ”

Now, Qin Tian has begun to bring up the old things again, which has angered Luo Buping, and when he said this, Luo Buping on the city tower did show anger, and the things of the year were a heart disease for him.

was beaten by Qin Tian and didn't say anything, and was ridiculed by others.

Angry, angry, but although Luo Buping was angry, he quickly regained his composure, he was no longer the reckless young man he was back then, he naturally knew the purpose of Qin Tian saying these words.

It's nothing more than wanting him to get out of the city to fight.

Qin Tian thought that if he just said a sentence or two, he would be able to succeed?

Qin Tian said below, his mouth was a little dry, and just when Qin Tian stopped, Luo Buping suddenly laughed: "Have you said enough?" Tell you, even if what you say is out of the blue, no matter how unbearable I am, I won't go out of the city to fight with you at all, if you have the ability, come to attack the city, if you don't have the ability, don't beep below. ”

When Luo Buping said this, Qin Tian and the others were stunned for a moment, and they miscalculated.

They didn't expect that the reckless teenager back then would now be mature and rational, and he would not be desperate because of some verbal abuse.

It's something they really didn't expect.

Qin Tian was speechless, what he said just now was in vain.

He glanced back at Li Ji, Li Ji pursed his lips and shrugged helplessly, he didn't expect this situation.

And now that Luo Buping is not affected and refuses to go out of the city to fight, then if they retreat like this, it will definitely have a great impact on their morale, and the situation is starting to get worse.

To fight, or not to fight?
