Xu Mu took the map and unfolded it on the desk. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Luo Yi looked at it and said, "Around Qingcheng County, in addition to Dashicheng, there are four other counties, all of which are less than two hundred miles apart, do you know the situation in these counties?" ”

Xu Mu said: "Clearly, I have a good relationship with the county commanders of this, this, and these three counties, and I often correspond, if the general wants to recruit troops, I will give them a letter of repair, and it should be no big problem." ”

"However, this last county... The county magistrate of this county is called Dong Cheng, who is a distant relative of Li Dejiang among the four major families in Pingxing, and he is afraid that he is not so easy to speak. ”

"Which county?"

Luo Yi's eyes were stunned and he looked at the map.

Xu Mu pointed to the map and said: "Right here, it's called Wu County, Dong Cheng has been the county commander of Wu County for many years, and when I used the money to repair the city wall to help the victims, he was there, and he almost went to the county guard because of this matter." ”

Luo Yi asked, "Then do you know how many troops there are in Wu County?" Is it a private soldier of the family? Or soldiers recruited through normal procedures? ”

Xu Mu said: "It's a soldier, there were originally five hundred, but later the king ordered the garrisons from all over the country to be transferred, and he privately raised another three thousand. I was about to report the matter to the police, but the county keeper was also transferred. ”

Luo Yi smiled and said, "You don't have to report it, I just know it." What should be the crime of recruiting soldiers without permission? ”

Xu Mu said with a smile: "According to my Tang Dynasty law, I should be convicted of rebellion and decided!" ”

Luo Yi said: "I was still worried about recruitment, but I didn't expect him to send soldiers to me, and I had to grab the 3,000 people." Lord Xu, you can then send a message to the county commanders of these three counties, let them recruit soldiers as much as possible, only give them half a month, and send the soldiers to Qingcheng County in half a month, during this time, I will go to Wu County. ”

"Okay."

Xu Mu didn't think about it, and opened his mouth to answer.

But in a blink of an eye, he wondered: "I don't know how the general is going to accommodate these 3,000 people?" ”

Luo Yi said with a smile: "It's very simple, capture the thief and capture the king first, as long as Dong Cheng is punished, the three thousand people will naturally belong to me." is a soldier of the imperial court, and he is not a private soldier of the family, so the soldier will not have much resistance. ”

"You don't care about this, I have my own way, you can just be responsible for recruiting troops."

Xu Mu arched his hand and said, "Okay, the villain will do his best." ”

..............

After Han Wu arrived in Dashi City, the situation was similar to Luo Yi, there were not many people in the city, and the total number of people was only 50,000.

In the end, Han Wu also thought of a way to expand the scope of recruitment, and asked several nearby counties to help recruit troops together, and the stipulated time was half a month.

Within half a month, it was impossible for Li Dejiang of Pingxing to arrive, even if it was a cavalry, the news reached Pingxing, and then it came quickly, it would be half a month later.

At the same time, Feng Si, who was resting in Yincheng, also received orders from Luo Yi and Han Wu successively, asking him to start recruiting troops immediately!

Yincheng is different from Qingcheng and Dashicheng, which is an important town in Longxi, with a population of hundreds of thousands, and countless nearby villages, people coming and going, etc., once the news of recruitment spreads, it must be scrambling.

Two days later, Luo Yi left Qingcheng with 5,000 people and headed towards Wu County.

The five thousand people are all cavalry, the march is fast, it is not far from Qingcheng to Wu County, a day's journey, and Luo Yi has the intention to hit the other party by surprise, so he specially instructed not to stop halfway.

They set out on the fifth watch in the morning, ran for more than 140 miles in a row, and finally stopped outside the county seat of Wuxian County.

The earth-shattering sound had already alarmed the soldiers guarding the city on the city tower, and they all poked their heads out to look down, and when they saw the overwhelming black and oppressive iron horsemen, everyone gasped and retracted into the wall pier, and some of them went to report to the county commander Dong Cheng in a panic.

The gates of the city had long since been shut, and the people who came and went hid to the side, not daring to stay where they were.

Luo Yi made people beat the war drums, and sent someone to shout: "Listen to the people above, Luo Yi, the general of Zhenxi, will pay a visit to the pass, and Ling'er will open the city as soon as possible!" ”

"Hurry up!"

There were a lot of soldiers looking downstairs, and there were several generals among them, but none of them dared to answer.

"We're opening the door, huh? Still won't open it? ”

In the middle above the tower, there were three generals gathered together, looking at each other and not knowing what to say.

If it was before, a big official like Luo Yi came, of course they would open the door without hesitation, but yesterday Dong Cheng said that now that Longxi is in chaos, no matter who comes, they are not allowed to open the city, otherwise, they will be punished with defeat.

Therefore, seeing Luo Yi leading the army to come, everyone wanted to open the city, but they didn't dare, and no one was sure that it was Luo Yi who was standing below, in case it was a bandit or bandit fake, wouldn't Wu County be in trouble.

As a result, the two sides were at a stalemate, and the balance was not broken for a long time. It wasn't until after half a pillar of incense that a general in a red robe went upstairs, with his waist across the Yangtze River and his back against a spear. He is not too old, but he is not small, he should be around forty years old, with a mustache at the corner of his mouth and a grim face.

"Lord Prefectural Order."

The generals suddenly bowed their hands.

The person who came was Dong Cheng, the county magistrate of Wu County; Don't look at him as a county commander, in fact, he was born as a military general, his kung fu is not bad, and he is a distant relative of Li Dejiang, so he was arranged by Li Dejiang to find a tolerance in Wu County.

Dong Cheng handed the spear in his hand to a personal soldier behind him, put his two hands on the side of the city wall, and looked down.

"The one riding the white horse below is Luo Yi, the general of Zhenxi?"

"Eh... Like, that's what he said. ”

A lieutenant next to him replied.

Dong Cheng said: "No, he is not Luo Yi, I know him, it should be a group of horse thieves hundreds of miles away, and if you pass the order, you are not allowed to open the city gate, whoever dares to open it is a capital crime!" ”

"Yes."

The lieutenant answered and passed the news on.

Luo Yi also saw the red-robed general, immediately guessed the identity of the other party, and took two steps forward and shouted, "Where is Dong Cheng?" Go out of town to answer. ”

"This county is Dong Cheng, who are you who dare to gather people to make trouble."

Dong Cheng also responded with a snort.

The implication of his words is obvious, he does not recognize Luo Yi as Luo Yi's identity at all.

Luo Yi didn't expect that Dong Cheng would come to this move, it was extremely shameless, if he had enough troops in his hands, he would order to rush up now and raze Wu County to the ground.

However, there are not many troops here, and how can 5,000 cavalry contribute to the city, everything has to be outwitted.

After being silent for a while, Luo Yi suddenly laughed out loud and shouted loudly towards the city tower: "Yes, your eyes are really good, I am indeed not Luo Yi." ”

"And who are you?"

Dong Cheng frowned slightly and asked in a deep voice.

"It doesn't matter who it is, what matters is this token, can Dong County Ling dare to take it up and show it to the generals? By the way, also help me appreciate and appreciate, is this fake? ”

As he spoke, Luo Yi took out the almost black sign from his arms.

This brand was given by Zhou Gandang before Luo Yi came to Longxi, saying that it can pass through any checkpoint in Longxi, including accepting various counties, and it can also be used, and county orders and school captains at all levels can recognize it.

Originally, Luo Yi thought that it would not be needed, and who would dare not surrender where the 20,000 iron horsemen passed, but he didn't expect it to be used today.

Seeing Dong Cheng's hesitant expression on the city floor, Luo Yi said, "What's wrong?" Don't you dare to see it? I said it, I'm a fake Luo Yi, this brand is naturally fake, why don't you take it up and appreciate it? ”

It would be nice if it was true or fake, but Dong Cheng clearly knew that it was Luo Yi standing downstairs, and the sign Luo Yi was holding in his hand must also be the order of King Xiliang. To let the lieutenants see the order, Dong Cheng didn't dare to imagine what would happen.

"What? The county magistrate really doesn't dare to look at it? ”

"Who said the county wouldn't dare."

Luo Yi pressed again and again, and Dong Cheng finally responded, and said to the soldiers downstairs: "Come on, go and get the token." ”
