Luo Yi and Luo Tong both understood Mrs. Luo's thoughts, and when they saw that Mrs. Luo agreed, they were overjoyed and promised her that they would definitely come back alive.
As for taking Wang Yan to the battlefield, the two never mentioned it; Both of them knew that Mrs. Luo would never agree to this matter, only to go secretly, the Luo family finally had a future, and they must not be taken to the battlefield for adventure.
The next day, Luo Yi went to the Drunken Immortal Residence to say goodbye, instructed Erfat a lot of things, and asked Wu You for twenty catties of the essence of the Five Elements in advance, and paid the money, and secretly warned Wu You not to reduce the price of Drunken Immortal Wine without authorization, there is no impermeable wall in the world.
Of course, Luo Yi knew that it was useless to do this, and he had to surrender, especially when Luo Yi went to Xiliang, he was even more unscrupulous, but when Luo Yi said this, he just wanted him to be more restrained.
After giving the order, Luo Yi completely threw the matter of the Drunken Immortal Residence out of the clouds, and threw his mind on the expedition.
..........
Two days later.
Chang'an City, West Gate.
The 150,000 troops lined up neatly, and Luo Tong, Luo Yi, Cheng Yanjin, Cheng Liang, Qin Huaiyu, Wei Chi Baolin, Cheng Tiehuan, Zhao Wenyong and others led 50,000 vanguard troops to stand at the front, each with a tall horse, waiting for the order to go out.
At the front of the military array, a blood-red huge banner was erected in the cold wind, blown by the cold wind, hunting sounded, the banner was embroidered with a purple-black bucket big 'Tang' character, the font was majestic and atmospheric, the momentum was majestic, at a glance, it gave people a feeling like being in the mountains.
Luo Tong was dressed in armor, wearing a copper helmet, a long sword hanging from his waist, and a spear in his hand riding on a horse.
"Sonorous!"
Luo Tong's eyes widened, he suddenly pulled out the long sword at his waist, and roared loudly: "The army is open!" ā
With an order, the 50,000 troops outside the city suddenly marched forward and marched towards the first checkpoint of Xiliang.
As for the 100,000 troops led by Zheng Tianyong and Li Daozong behind him, Luo Tong was too lazy to take care of it, although Li Daozong had the right to control him, but his 50,000 troops were personally sealed by the crown prince Li Chengqian, and he had the right to be independent.
As Luo Tong's army of 50,000 marched westward, Li Daozong and Zheng Tianyong's soldiers and horses also followed, as the central army, the rear flank protected the safety of the entire army, escorted grain and grass, etc.
The black-pressed army marched slowly and left Chang'an in the blink of an eye.
At this time, at the head of Chang'an City, a graceful and luxurious woman appeared, standing there with two maid rings, standing for a long time, looking into the distance, looking at the back of the army and secretly crying.
The woman was none other than Mrs. Luo from Luo Province. In fact, she knew that Luo Yi also went to Xiliang with her, and she also knew that Wang Yan changed into the clothes of a soldier this morning and secretly followed along, but for some reason, she didn't stop her.
As early as half a month ago, Luo Yi, Luo Tong, and Wang Yan had already decided on this matter, and it had never changed.
Luo Yi left with Luo Tong, and after walking for three or five miles, he let Wang Yan, who was dressed as a small soldier, restore his daughter's body; The 50,000 men of the vanguard army were all Luo Tong's soldiers and horses, and all of them had no opinions.
Besides, it's not uncommon for women to go on expeditions, look at Cheng Tiehuan, don't you also hold an axe and go to war with Cheng Liang and Cheng Yanjin.
After recovering his daughter, Luo Yi let Wang Yan get into the carriage that had been prepared a long time ago, and Luo Yi drove it himself, moving slowly with the army.
Wang Yan has been pregnant for more than three months, and she slowly began to show her pregnancy, but it is not obvious, at first glance, she is still the same as an ordinary person. But Luo Yi didn't dare to be careless, what he was carrying in his stomach was his own flesh and blood after all.
The army set out from Chang'an and wanted to reach the Jiepai Pass very far away.
Luo Tong led the army, passed through more than a dozen checkpoints on the way, a total of more than 1,000 miles, the distance was far away, but the speed of the march was fast, Luo Tong's vanguard army only took 15 days, arrived at the Jiepai Pass, and as the Chinese army, Zheng Tianyong and Li Daozong, but they were transferred back more than 500 miles, it is really unimaginable, what kind of speed should be; Luo Tong's army could travel 100 miles a day, while Zheng Tianyong and Li Daozong only traveled 50 miles, which was half the slow.
It can be seen from this that Li Daozong didn't want to reach Xiliang as soon as possible, or rather, he didn't want to rush to the front to fight, and all the things to open the way were handed over to Luo Tong.
It's okay like this, everyone does their own thing, no one delays anyone, and Luo Tong doesn't have to obey Li Daozong's dispatch, just manage his 50,000 army.
Arriving at the Jiepai Pass, the 50,000 troops set up camp at a position ten miles outside the Jiepai Pass, set up a rejection horse, and arranged a camp.
After everything was done, it was already night, and everyone gathered in the big tent of the Chinese army to discuss the next battle.
If you want to attack the Jiepai Pass, of course, you can't use force, not to mention that Wang Buchao of the Jiepai Pass is a kinship with the Luo family, in terms of the strength and defense state of the Jiepai Pass, if you want to attack, it will take a lot of time, and the loss of troops is huge.
In the big tent of the Chinese army, everyone sat down, Cheng Yanjin sat above, and on both sides of the big tent sat Luo Yi, Wang Yan, Luo Tong, Zhao Wenyong and others, as well as other important generals in the army.
Cheng Biting Jin said: "Originally, there were only 10,000 defenders in the Jiepai Pass, and after being driven away by the emperor, there were only a few thousand weak left, and now he has recaptured the Jiepai Pass, and the army has expanded to 30,000 in two months. Luo Yi and Luo Tong, you two have come up with any strategy, it is best to persuade Wang Buchao to avoid unnecessary casualties. ā
Luo Daodao: "Actually, I admire Wang Buchao, he is nearly 100 years old, and he has such ambition, the most important thing is his kung fu, not an idle person can be defeated, the last time I came to the boundary card level, I fought with him a big battle, dozens of rounds of battle, and there was no winner or loser." His martial arts should be between me and me. ā
Even if Luo Tong is self-aware, Luo Yi laughed twice, he knows the direction of history, of course he knows Wang Buchao's strength, according to the battle in history, Wang Buchao and Luo Tong, martial arts are really two sides.
"I have an idea."
Luo Yi said: "Wang Buchao... Adversity... My father-in-law, loyalty is the most important thing, and he will never betray easily, unless... Unless it's time to betray. We might as well think of a way to see if there is any way to force him to leave the Jiepai Pass, or turn against Xiliang. ā
"Didn't he recruit 30,000 recruits privately, we might be able to start here..."
Luo Tong is a smart man and has been in the army for many years, as soon as he heard Luo Yi's words, he understood the meaning.
"Good strategy."
Luo Yi smiled: "This is not enough, we can't be idle here, I suggest that the troops will come to the city tomorrow, by me, and Wang Yan, together in front of the pass to persuade him to surrender, with emotion, although there will be no decisive result, but this idea will remain in his heart, and when the time is ripe, he will definitely agree." ā
