After Luo Cheng led his troops to relieve the siege and leave, Xincheng took down the flags raised by the trees.

At the head of the city are still Goguryeo flags fluttering.

Since the defeat of the troops in the counterattack on Xuansu City, the guard force in the Xincheng area can be said to be very weak, and Luo Cheng passed by once, which made the Xincheng lose a lot of soldiers. Not to mention, Luo Cheng was ruthless, driving tens of thousands of surrounding people to fill the trenches and force the defenders of Xincheng to shoot them, which greatly reduced their morale.

At this time, there were not many defenders in the new city, only 8,000 soldiers, and about 50,000 people. Although there are many young and strong among them, and there is no shortage of equipment in the new city, after all, most of them were originally just ordinary farmers, herdsmen, and craftsmen, lacking training and not understanding battle formations.

Fortunately, Luo Cheng's living Yama only fought for a while, then accepted the surrender letter, and left with a large amount of gold, silver, grain, livestock and beauties.

Yang Wanchun selected about 10,000 young men from the young people in the city, distributed them with equipment, and coached the battle formation day and night.

In the blink of an eye, almost a month passed, there was no war in the new city, and life was quite stable, and finally gave them a little respite.

Li Yuan and Yu Wenshi came to the city several times to talk, and let Yang Wanchun open the city.

But every time Yang Wanchun said thousands of reasons, in a word, he admitted that he had already descended to the Sui, but he still didn't feel at ease about opening the city, and in the end, he didn't open the city gate, and even said that he would wait for the Son of Heaven to come, and then go out of the city to worship the Son of Heaven in person.

In other words, how old are you Li Yuanyu scribe?

The emperor in the rear sent people to urge day and night, especially when Liaodong City could not be attacked for a long time, the emperor needed good news from the new city even more.

Yu Wenshi squatted in the Sui camp not far from the new city, sighing, and sitting next to Tang Guogong Li Yuan, also frowned.

"Damn Luo Cheng, he took the book, patted his ass and left, but he left this mess for us."

The good-tempered Li Yuan is now a little angry, it is really Luo Cheng who eats meat, but they are wiping their butts in the back. Luo Cheng received a letter of surrender, and a good news was played, but as a result, this bastard was promoted to an official and made a fortune, and was promoted to a tiger general, and he also got a lot of gold and silk slaves, but he asked them to come.

Li Yuan has been pitted twice by Luo Cheng.

Last time, Luo Cheng almost looted the money, grain, and livestock in the Xuansu cities and took them away, leaving him with empty warehouses, but the emperor and the hundred officials still remembered the large amount of money, grain and equipment that Luo Cheng got from the cities, and in the end, he couldn't get anything to deal with, and the emperor didn't blame Luo Cheng, but blamed him for his incompetence.

Pei Yun even participated directly in his performance, he couldn't do anything, and he almost couldn't get off the stage.

This time I came to Xincheng to be surrendered, I thought I could get a little light, but who expected it to be a pit, or a sinkhole.

"Duke Tang, Your Majesty has sent someone to urge again, and an ultimatum has been issued, if we can't take over the new city within three days, we are the only ones who ask."

"Are we the only ones asking? What to ask, Luo Cheng said that the new city has fallen, do you see that the new city has fallen, has it fallen? ”

Yu Wenshi was also very helpless, "Duke Tang, everyone knows that Yang Wanchun has surrendered by fraud, but now the trouble is that the emperor has a good face, and he refuses to admit that Yang Wanchun surrendered by fraud before, and it is impossible to punish Luo Cheng, anyway, he is a slap in the face." Now the emperor doesn't ask Luo Cheng, but asks us, what do you think we can do? ”

Li Yuan knew the emperor's character better than Yu Wenshi, and he was a person with an excellent face.

It is impossible to make the emperor admit his mistake, so now the result, naturally this board will still fall on their ass, unless they can take the new city within three days.

"There is no other way, I can only go to Li Jing and Luo Yi, although the new city is strong, but there are few soldiers, Li Luo's second general has 70,000 soldiers and horses in his hands, if you really want to fight hard, you may not be able to take it in three days."

"But Luo Yi is Luo Cheng's uncle, and Li Jing is Luo Cheng's uncle, these two may not be willing to help us."

"This is not to help us, this is to help Luo Cheng wipe his ass, if Xincheng really can't beat it, we can't escape punishment when we arrive, but he Luo Cheng don't think about staying out of the matter." Li Yuan said angrily.

.......

Luo Yi faced Li Yuan, who was very polite, and just smiled haha.

In the end, Li Yuan really had no choice, so he had to say, "Luo Cheng was promoted to the general of the tiger because of the surrender of Xincheng, but now Xincheng is still in the hands of the Goguryeo people, if this matter cannot be properly handled, I am afraid that it will not be good for Luo Cheng in the end." Luo Youwei is Luo Cheng's father, he is your stepson, you should help him deal with the aftermath. ”

"Didn't Your Majesty hand over the surrender of Xincheng to Duke Tang?"

"Yan Guogong said with a smile, I just came to wipe Luo Cheng's buttocks, but now this ass is difficult to wipe, Your Majesty only left me three days, but I have only a few hundred people in my hands, what can I do? You have to go out of the country! ”

Luo Yi shook his head, "Tang Gong, it's not that I don't help with this, originally it was also the task of my six armies on the left and six on the right to capture the new city, but His Majesty had changed the military order before, and ordered our two armies to go north to capture the cities of Fuyu and Jinshan, and we also have military orders in our bodies, so we can't delay." ”

"Don't delay, don't delay, Xincheng is now only five or six thousand people, or a number of defeated soldiers, morale is low, as long as Yan Guogong goes out, it will definitely be a battle."

"Huh." Luo Yi said, "But Your Majesty didn't let me attack Xincheng." ”

"Do me a favor, I'll remember this favor." Li Yuan pulled down his face and said.

"Tang Gong, if you can help me, I will definitely help, I heard that Tang Gong has a third lady, who is very heroic when he is young, and he is not inferior to a man in both civil and military affairs, and he seems to be twenty-eight years old this year?"

Li Yuan's face changed.

Luo Yi continued, "I seem to have heard that Sanniang is still unmarried? ”

"What does Yan Guogong mean, do you want to be a matchmaker for my Sanniang?"

"That's true, in fact, I used to think that my family Wulang and your family Sanniang are an excellent pair, but unfortunately Wulang has already married. However, my Luo family Sanlang is not married, and now he is the front of the Fifth Army of the Left, and the Eagle Yang Lang General awarded by His Majesty is also a very brave hero, Tang Guogong may wish to think about it, if the two of them can succeed, then our Luo and Li families will be in-laws in the future. ”

Li Yuan said in his heart What is your Luo family, you dare to match with my Li family, think of my Tang Guogong Li family, that is one of the eight pillar countries, although it will inevitably begin to weaken in the Northern Zhou Dynasty, and it is even weaker in the early Sui Dynasty, but the emaciated camel is also bigger than a horse, how can it be compared to an upstart like the Luo family?

Sanniang is his third daughter Li Yuan, although she is the third, she is a concubine, and she is much more noble than the other two older daughters. He Li Yuan married, either rich or noble, either a famous family in Guanlong, or five surnames and seven sects, and the Luo family is also worthy?

"Hehe, it's not too early, I will stay in Tang Guogong soon, send off guests." Luo Yi saw that Li Yuan was silent, and directly shouted to see off the guest.

"Wait a minute." Li Yuan spoke out helplessly.
