Chapter Twenty-Three: Insistence on Entering the Army

"Two big brothers, it's not that I, Shile, refuse to turn back, it's that the court forces people to rebel without reason, especially Sima Teng, who just died, is not dedicated to the country and the people, and only thinks about how to fish and flesh the people, such a prince deserves to die! I, Shile, am happy when I see one killing the other! Schleer shouted.

"Sima Teng deserves to die, and the people of Yecheng deserve to die too? You kill innocents indiscriminately, don't call me big brother, I don't have such a brother! Zu Ti turned back to the rebels and shouted, "Brothers, kill!" ”

Zu Ti and Liu Kun drew their swords, patted their horses and led people to rush towards Shile!

Shi Le came out this time to chase Sima Mei with only 1,000 light horses, and Zu Ti's rebel army was less than 600 people, most of whom were villagers who fled to Luoyang from the north with him.

In terms of strength alone, Zu Ti has the upper hand, and then on the mount, it is not as good as Shi Le's light horse, Shi Le is the foundation of Ji Sang, the horses are all of the best quality, fast as the wind, and the endurance is better, Zu Ti's rebel mount is far worse, both speed and endurance are difficult to compare with the rebel army mount.

In the face of the rushing rebels, the eight horsemen made Shi Le retreat, and fought with Zu Ti's rebels.

Eight horsemen surrounded the two of them, each of them was against four generals, without fear, although the martial arts of Wang Yang Taobao and the eight horsemen were not very high, but there were many people, like a group of wild dogs around the two of them to bite.

Zu Ti's rebel army had just been formed, although it had passed through some battle formations on the way south, but after all, it had not really been trained, and Shile's rebellious army was maturely trained when it was in Jisang, and its combat effectiveness was stronger than that of the rebel army, so the two armies fought, and the rebel army gradually fell into the upper hand, and the casualties were very large.

Zu Ti and Liu Kun saw it in their eyes, they were very anxious, they had to quickly solve the eight horses, otherwise they would suffer a big loss.

Zu Li and Liu Kun each opened their right arms, tore a piece of cloth and wrapped the sword in their hands, Zu Li said to Liu Kun: "Liu Kun! You can't be a sheep in the face of a pack of wolves! Let's have a good time today! ”

"Good!"

Zu Qi shouted: "Two swords together! ”

“…… Zhuang Zhou Mengdie! …… Who is competing ......! A sword shadow swept by, the two of them combined their swords and made thirteen moves one after another, and the eight horsemen were all hung with colors, and the eight horsemen saw that the two of them were brave, and immediately retreated and hugged Shile to retreat.

When the rebel army saw that Shile was defeated and retreated, they also ran back, and the rebel army reversed its inferiority, and there was a burst of chaotic slashing, and the chaotic army was bloody for a while.

But the horses of the chaotic army were fast, Zu Ti and Liu Kun couldn't catch up with Shi Le and others, and the rebels gradually couldn't catch up with the rebel army, and they were about to run away, Zu Ti put away his sword, took out the curved bow from his back, and put on five swords at a time, and did not shoot straight forward, but shot upwards towards the sky, but saw that the arrow drew an arc in the sky and fell in the middle of the chaotic army, and immediately five horses were pierced through the neck, and the front hooves were soft, and they hit the ground, and the people were also broken by a brain, and the chaotic army behind couldn't stop the momentum, and pounced on countless people, and the march slowed down. Zu Ti and Liu Kun led people to kill in the back for a while, Shi Le's light cavalry went to five hundred, Shi Le and the eight horsemen had good foot strength, and after a while, they ran out of Zu Ti's sight.

Shi Le and the Eight Cavalry ran back to Yecheng and immediately gathered men and horses to withdraw from Yecheng.

Zhang Bin asked, "Why is the general so afraid of Zu Ti and Liu Kun?" ”

"The military advisor doesn't know, these two people are desperate, and our eight horsemen together can't fight, no wonder the general wants to leave Yecheng."

Shi Le said: "Military division, we occupy Yecheng, Zu Ti and Liu Kun will come later, they will definitely find a way to recapture the city, although we have 20,000 people, but there are no reinforcements outside, occupying Yecheng is not a long-term plan, besides, if Gou Xi sends people to come again, they will join forces, we will be unable to fly!" ”

Although Zhang Bin was quite scheming and proficient in the art of war, he did not dare to take risks in Yecheng, after all, there was no foreign aid, he asked Shi Le: "Then where does the general plan to go to settle down?" ”

"This ......? Why don't we go back to Taurus Village. ”

"Jinniuzhai is not a place to use soldiers after all, does the general want to be a bandit who occupies the mountain for the rest of his life?"

"What do you mean?"

"General, Liu Yuan is called the king in Bingzhou, and now he is called the emperor, it is when the soldiers are strong and strong, I heard that they have hit the Huguan, as soon as the Huguan is broken, it will go straight to Luoyang, and the Great Jin will not be guaranteed, it is better for us to go to Liu Yuan, help him, it is also a place to live, a place to use, if he occupies Luoyang in the day and wins the world, the general will not lose the title of the king."

Shi Le didn't want to fight alone, so he immediately agreed to Zhang Bin's proposal, gathered people and horses to load the looted goods and withdraw from Yecheng and march towards Bingzhou.

Zu Ti and Liu Kun entered Yecheng with their hind feet, but when they saw the smoke in the city, the corpses on the street were scattered all over the place, the helpless children were lying on their mother's corpse and crying, and there were miserable scenes everywhere, Liu Kun said bitterly: "Big brother, we are still late......"

Zu Ti's eyes were red, and he swore to the sky: "Shi Le, I won't kill you, I swear not to be a person!" ”

"Big brother, what should we do now?"

"Let everyone help the surviving people bury the dead, comfort the people, and wait for the officers and soldiers of the imperial court to come to receive the garrison."

After the rebels were busy for a few days, Sima Yue's general Gou sent people to Yecheng and took over the garrison, and Zu Li Liu Kun brought people back to Luoyang.

Shi Le took more than a dozen carts of property and two horses and horses to Bingzhou to vote for Liu Yuan, Liu Yuan named him a general, according to the old department, first rest for a period of time, and then entrust it to be reused when attacking Luoyang, Shi Le was overjoyed, and stayed under Liu Yuan's account with peace of mind.

Sima Yue of Luoyang City despised the emperor Sima Ye day by day, everything had to be reported to the Prime Minister's Mansion, and he was arbitrary and arbitrary without going through Sima Ye, although Sima Ye wanted to be pro-government, but he was at a loss, but he had the idea of getting rid of Sima Yue in his heart.

Sima Yue was drinking and having fun in the Prime Minister's Mansion that day, when suddenly a battle report from the front was presented, he glanced at it and was surprised: "Ah! The pot pass is lost!? This and this ......! ”

As soon as the Huguan is lost, the Hun iron cavalry will rush straight down, and it will take less than a day to come to Luoyang City, which means that when you wake up from sleep, the Hun cavalry may besiege Luoyang! This was repaid, Sima Yue immediately asked Gou to deploy Luoyang, arranged several lines of defense in the north of Luoyang, and had heavy troops to defend it all the way to the Yellow River.

Liu Cong and Liu Yao broke the Huguan, led 100,000 iron cavalry to rush down, broke several cities one after another, and hit the edge of the Yellow River north of Luoyang, preparing to cross the river and attack Luoyang directly.

Liu Cong first sent a book to Liu Yuan, Liu Yuan did not want to attack Luoyang now, he knew that Luoyang was now heavily guarded, and it was extremely difficult to capture, the best way was to confront each other across the river, wait for it to change, he wrote back to Liu Cong not to let him attack Luoyang, but Liu Cong thought that the Jin court was vulnerable and insisted on crossing the river, Liu Yao persuaded; "Fourth brother, the emperor does not let us attack Luoyang, he has his own reasons, in my opinion, it is better to set up camp first, gain a firm foothold, and then slowly figure it out, it is the best policy, and then my dinosaur corps and zombie corps have not yet formed combat power, or stay for a few days, if you really want to attack Luoyang, there is a heavy defense there, once we lose, our current results will be gone, and I hope that the fourth brother will think twice."

Originally, he should have called Liu Cong the fourth prince, but they had a close relationship and were still called brothers.

Liu Cong laughed and said: "Big brother, in the past, you were ambitious to enter Luoyang, but now that the opportunity comes, why are you afraid, haha......"

"Fourth Brother ,......"

"Big brother, don't say it anymore, pass it on today, and cross the river tomorrow with a drought! After all, his current identity is a prince, and his words are full of domineering.
