The Tang army took Shuofang City with zero casualties, and Luo Tong asked people to take over the defense of Simen City, and led a special combat team with Yaochi, Qin Huaiyu, Fang Yiai, Almaty, and Fang Yiai to Shuofang Palace.

The road was unimpeded, and soon we arrived at the palace with the gate closed.

Luo Tong didn't bother to pay attention to what was mysterious here, so Fang Yiai stepped forward to break the door. At this moment, the heavy red door slowly opened.

"This ......" Luo Tong was a little dumbfounded, and thought: "This Liang Shi won't be brain-opening, and if he wants to come out, I will fight, right?" He really has that guts, Lao Tzu can't split his head. ”

When Luo Tong was about to give an order, he saw a dignified-looking general, leading hundreds of bare-handed men to stride over, among them, several men carried a hu bed, on which lay a man in a dragon robe who did not know whether he was alive or dead!

Could it be that Liang Shidu still can't escape the poisonous hands of his brother Liang Luoren?

Luo Tong had a thought in his heart, but he saw the general step forward quickly, he came to the front step by step, stopped when he was still more than forty meters away from Luo Tong, knelt down on one knee and bowed: "The sinner Liang Luoren pays a visit to General Yunlu of the Tang Dynasty, the champion Hou, and the governor of Gyeongju." We have long been unaccustomed to the Liang division is retrograde, and has long had the heart to leave, but the Liang division is suspicious, and we have to stoop to obey the thief, today coincides with the general to show his might, breaking the only remaining army of Shuofang, so we have the opportunity to get rid of the thief, and the leader of the rebel Liang Shi are captured and killed. I hope the general will be able to fall lightly. ”

"Please take it lightly, General." A group of high-level Shuo Fang knelt on the ground!

"On behalf of the Tang Dynasty, the Governor of Qingzhou accepts your surrender."

Luo Tong thought about it for a while, and dismounted to receive the jade seal of the Great Liang Kingdom and the talisman token held high by Liang Luoren.

"Xie Dudu's grace of innocence!"

Liang Luoren, Xin Fang'er and others were overjoyed when they heard this: "Sins will definitely change their past wrongs, and use this remnant life to atone for their previous sins." ”

Luo Tong asked everyone to get up, and approached the corpse under the escort of several generals, looking at the corpse with blood still hot, unable to determine whether it was Liang Shidu. After all, he hadn't even seen Master Liang.

Luo Yuan looked at it for a while, and said in a low voice: "Childe, it is indeed Liang Shidu." ”

Luo Tong nodded, and then comforted Liang Luoren, Xin Fang'er and others a few words, and asked them to lead them back to the city to observe.

This majestic military ancient city is majestic on the outside, but it is a depression on the inside, and the people who are watching are all people with visible skin and bones, all of them are like zombies in computer games.

Shuofang is located in the Northland, and the people of the Northland are known for their burly and tall ears, but the people in front of them are as thin as skin and bones, and their eyes are blank. For their arrival, they were indifferent, and their spirits were extremely poor, which was really shocking.

Luo Tong couldn't help but feel compassion, and he also realized that "Xing, the people are suffering; died, and the people suffered".

In troubled times, people are not as good as dogs, and it is not an exaggeration.

It is said that the times create heroes, and troubled times produce heroes, which is true, but who cares about the people living at the bottom? No matter when, in the face of the beginning and end of the change of dynasty, it is these innocent people who suffer after all. If Liang Luoren, Xin Fang'er, Zhao Feiyang, Niu Tong, these characters with a certain identity, how can they be a little hungry?

After walking for a while, Luo Tong couldn't stand it anymore and said, "These people are so hungry? ”

Liang Luoren said bitterly: "Master Liang collected all the grain and gave the people a certain amount of food every day to make a living. ”

Luo Tong said unceremoniously: "What is the livelihood, just to ensure that they don't die!" ”

Liang Luoren was speechless, what he said was the truth.

Luo Tong continued: "How much surplus grain does Shuofang have? ”

In the face of Luo Tong's inquiry, Liang Luoren showed embarrassment on his face, and said: "If you count the reserve of rice, you can still maintain the entire Shuofang for two or three months." ”

Luo Daodao: "So there is still food in the city?" Nothing else, but first take out all that can be eaten, and distribute the food to all the people according to the share of the soldiers. Tell them that from today on, they will be my people of Datang, and I Datang will never let my people go hungry. ”

Liang Luoren was stunned: "This is not in accordance with the rules!" Do you want to wait for His Majesty's holy order to make a decision? ”

Luo Tong said resolutely without hesitation: "I can be ruthless to the Turks, but I can't do it when I look at my fellow citizens so hungry and waiting to die!" You just do what I do, if something goes wrong, I'll be alone with Luo Tong. ”

Shuofang is located in Xiazhou, and his position as governor of Gyeongju does not include Xiazhou. And Xiazhou has always been under the rule of Liang Shidu, and Datang has not been idle to set up a history of thorns in this place. According to the regulations of the Tang Dynasty, if there is no governor in the local prefecture or county, or if the official who does not have the governor arrives, the chief Shi Sima is the main matter.

Although Luo Tong recovered the strategic place and took over Shuofang City, he had no right to interfere in Shuofang's government affairs, especially the military supplies such as grain and grass in Shuofang City, which could not be acted upon without authorization.

Luo Tong arbitrarily used the grain and grass in the city without authority, which is a taboo act.

Liang Luoren saw that Luo Tong had made up his mind, and remembered his status in Datang, and he was not willing to disobey him, so he nodded and went to deal with the matter.

Luo Tong has the thoughts of later generations, let him sit back and watch these scrawny people hovering between life and death, he can't do it! I don't care about what taboo is not broken, at most it is just to be punished, as long as I feel that it is worth it, and I am punished, what is it?

He didn't think that Li Shimin would punish him for this trivial matter, even if he was punished, he just happened to chase his wish, and he was tired of the layout that he had forgotten for nearly a year.

"Qin Huaiyu!"

"The last general!" Qin Huaiyu responded.

"Hurry to the front and bring the dried meat or something back to Shuofang, this is our trophy, we have the final say on how to arrange it. At the same time, Liu Boying was ordered to abandon all government affairs, and led Li Yesi's Suizhou Army and Cheng Chuliang's Modao Army to garrison Shuofang. ”

"Report!" At this moment, a member of the Tang army came from afar, hugged his fists and said: "Lord Dudu, Liu Boying, the assassin of Yanzhou, led Qingzhou, Suizhou, Yanzhou, and Modao troops are coming to Shuofang, and General Cheng's Modao army is already twenty miles away. Lord Liu's army of 50,000 is approaching tomorrow morning.

Luo Tong laughed and said, "Tell Lord Liu that Shuofang has been recovered, let him move forward at full speed." ”

"Whoa!" The heralds came in a hurry, hurried away.

Liang Luoren, Xin Fang'er and other Shuofang generals were shocked, and then played a fatal blow to Luo Yuan's internal and external cooperation, only then did they know that Luo Tong's plot to seize Shuofang was not a temporary intention, but a long plan, but just ...... This poured out of the nest, and it was too much to look down on the Shuofang defenders. In addition to being shocked, Fu was glad that he had chosen to surrender again, if the army arrived and surrendered, the result would be different.

Early the next morning, Liu Boying arrived on time, and he didn't have time to rest, so he took over Shuofang's defense according to the order.

It wasn't until the afternoon that Liu Lan and Liu Min, who were in the name of Governor Xia and Si Shi, arrived in Shuofang in a hurry.

According to Luo Tong's vicious plan, Li Shimin appointed Liu Lan and Liu Min as the governor of Xia and the secretary of Xia last year, and the two borrowed Yanzhou to deal with Liang Shidu. They spent nearly a year on the layout of Shuofang, or spread rumors or win over the internal response, it can be said that the organs are exhausted, and they wanted to get the miraculous merit of going to Shuofang, so as to embark on the glorious road of official career, but in the end they got the news that Luo Tong captured Shuo Fang, Liang Luoren captured and killed Liang Shidu, and the city was surrendered to Luo Tong.

In this way, the credit has been given to Luo Tong, and their efforts have come to naught, and the unwillingness in this heart is obvious. When facing Luo Tong, he looked like he was smiling. Luo informed them that what they thought was that he had won the bargain, but he couldn't comfort him.

But when Er Liu learned that Luo Tong used the grain in Shuofang City to help the people, he looked at each other quietly, and did not say anything.

"Liu Changshi, Liu Sima ......"

Luo Daodao: "Shuofang is extremely important, I am worried that after Jieli gets the news of the fall of Shuofang, it is very likely to gather the soldiers and horses of the surrounding tribes and attack while our army has not yet gained a foothold in Shuofang." The combat effectiveness of the Shuofang army is extremely poor, and I am worried that only the soldiers brought by the two and the Shuofang army may not be able to stop it. I will temporarily defend here for a period of time, and let Lord Liu Boying, who has both offense and defense, be responsible for the defense, and record the food consumed in the account first, and then go back to Yanzhou to transport the grain and make up for the amount used, what do you think? ”

Sima Liu Lan said happily: "This is great, with the governor here, Shuo can ensure that there is no worries." ”

Luo Tong's scruples were absolutely correct. Jieli's prestige has now been greatly reduced, and Luo Tong has now wiped out the seventeen tribes loyal to him in one fell swoop, and has taken away the strategic location of Shuofang. If he didn't do something, his position as a Turkic khanate would really be shaken.

However, Luo Tong underestimated Jieli's patience as a Khan king.

After Jieli got the news that Luo Tong was annihilated by the Seventeenth Division, he did not hesitate to lead the 30,000 most elite guards in the clan to Shuofang from the front line non-stop, and also sent someone to Liang Shidu to give an order: Luo Tong must be left in Shuofang no matter what, no matter what method is used, whether it is contained or killed, it does not cost him to keep him. He will compensate for all the losses he has paid.

As the king of the Turkic Khan, Jieli showed great courage at this time of crisis: Luo Tong's activity has become a knife around his neck, threatening his existence at all times. It would be worth it to be able to get rid of him at all costs, even if Shuo Fang didn't want it.

The value threat of Luo Tong's existence has long been better than Shuo Fang's fall into the hands of Datang. But on the way to the march, Jieli got the news that Shuofang had let the Tang army fall, and Luo Tong personally led an army of 70,000 to garrison Shuofang City.

After Jieli heard the news, the whole person was like a fool, and in the hunting north wind, he was silent for a while, and then wisely led the army back to the front line of confrontation with Tiele!

Shuofang is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and the Turks are not good at attacking cities.

Nowadays, Shuofang has 70,000 Tang troops stationed, and if you want to take Shuofang, it is tantamount to a fool's dream, not to mention his 30,000 Jingwei, even if 300,000 lives are not enough.

Before leaving, Jieli did not forget to pass on the various tribes living around Shuofang, so that they could evacuate to a safe place, so as not to let Luo Tong be slaughtered one by one, as for those who did not listen to his orders, he didn't care, anyway, he had done his duty, if the various departments had a fluke heart, it was also their own ...... Now that the Turkic portal has been lost, he now just wants to solve Tiele in the shortest possible time, and then destroy the Turks with lightning speed, and then integrate the Turks, and fight to the death with a new unified Turk and the Tang Dynasty!
