On the second day of encampment, Li Chengqian's order came from Chang'an City, telling Luo Tong to return to the city as soon as possible. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Originally, Luo Tong also thought so, with the strength of his 20,000 cavalry, it was easy to return to the city, Zheng Tianyong couldn't stop it, and he didn't dare to stop it, but Luo Yi's opinion made him hesitate.

What Luo Yi means is that 20,000 cavalry are good at field warfare, and if they are stationed outside, they can still let Zheng Tianyong take care of three points, at least they will not blatantly attack the city.

And this is enough, as long as you hold on to Li Shimin's reinforcements, you can completely eliminate Zheng Tianyong.

But if he returns to Chang'an, then Zheng Tianyong will have no worries, and will still attack the city on a large scale, at that time, the cavalry is not good at defending the city, and it is still unknown whether he can hold on until Li Shimin's army returns.

"Okay, then we'll garrison here."

"Very good."

Luo Yi smiled.

In fact, he wanted to return to the city earlier than anyone else, Wang Yan's health was getting worse and worse, and he needed to recuperate, but in the current situation, it was better to garrison the army outside. In order to wait for Li Shimin, Luo Yi still decided to stay outside the city and hold on until Li Shimin arrived.

"General, the prince's envoy has arrived."

With a soldier's announcement, a Yulin army entered the big tent.

"The prince's envoy? What are you here for? ”

Luo Yi: "Hehe... It's nothing more than one thing, let's go back to Chang'an to defend the city. ”

Yulinjun entered the big tent and arched his hand: "General, the prince has an order, let you return to the city quickly." ”

Really...

Luo Tong hesitated, he was still telling Luo Yi just now, he wanted to garrison troops outside the city, and now he went to the city, isn't it the opposite.

"Third brother, look at this...?"

"The general is outside, the king's order is not affected, the prince is in a hurry, so he wants us to go back to the city, but he doesn't know that at this time, Zheng Tianyong's army is eyeing the tiger, and he can't go back..."

Before Luo Yi finished speaking, Luo Tong understood Luo Yi's thoughts.

Suddenly, Luo Tong also paid attention to it, and said to the Yulin army: "You go back and tell the prince that it is thousands of times better for the army to be stationed outside the city than to be stationed inside the city, so that he can rest assured that with my army here, Zheng Tianyong will not dare to be presumptuous." ”

Yu Linjun: "General Luo, this..." ”

"I've made up my mind, you can go back."

"Yes."

Yu Linjun sighed and turned to leave.

Luo Tong didn't obey the order, he couldn't help it, he was just a little soldier, it was not easy to bring the words, how could he influence Luo Tong's thoughts.

Luo Daodao: "I'm only worried... The prince does not understand our intentions and will be dissatisfied. ”

"It's okay. He will understand. ”

Luo Yi said: "Fang Xuanling has always been resourceful, how can he not see the Tao in between. ”

That night, the crown prince Li Chengqian was furious in the mansion and cursed Luo Tong for not saving him when he saw death.

"How can you dare to disobey orders? With Zheng Tianyong and Li Daozong, they are all the way! ”

Li Chengqian lost his temper in the mansion, and Fang Xuanling and the eldest grandson Wuji all hurried over. Such a big thing happened in Chang'an City, no one could sleep, and both of them had been asleep for several days and nights.

"Your Highness, why are you so angry?"

"It's not Na Luo Tong, His Royal Highness asked him to enter the city, and he dared to disobey."

Li Chengqian angrily sat in his position and slapped the desk hard.

The eldest grandson Wuji said: "Your Highness doesn't have to be resentful, if you want Luo Tong to enter the city, it's actually very simple. ”

"Oh? How easy is it? ”

The eldest grandson Wuji said: "There is still Mrs. Luo in Luofu, as long as we..." ”

Fang Xuanling was shocked, and arched his hand and said: "Your Highness, although General Luo did not agree to enter the city, but he contained the enemy army, and it was also indispensable, and there was no other meaning, if the Luo family was used as a threat, it would definitely offend Luo Tong." ”

"Besides, the minister thinks that Luo Tong is outside, and we are inside, so we can better guard Chang'an; Your Highness, please think about it, yesterday Zheng Tianyong led his troops to attack the city, and saw that Chang'an City was about to be broken, but as soon as Luo Tong came, he hurriedly retreated, which shows that he was afraid of Luo Tong. ”

"Luo Tong is outside, Zheng Tianyong will take care of three points, once he enters the city, Chang'an City will be attacked by Zheng Tianyong again, and at that time, we will have no reinforcements."

The eldest grandson Wuji glanced at Fang Xuanling in surprise, the Luo family and the Fang family are enemies, but now Fang Xuanling is actually speaking for Luo Tong, which is really admirable, at this time of embarrassment, Fang Xuanling can abandon the previous suspicions, but it is not something that ordinary people can do.

The eldest grandson Wuji is not stupid, and after thinking about it carefully, he also agrees with Fang Xuanling's point of view.

Li Chengqian said: "That is to say, he is still right to resist the order?" Is it really better to be outside the city than inside the city? ”

Fang Xuanling said: "Your Highness, presumably, this is also what the emperor meant; Your Highness, please think, if there is no emperor's permission, how dare Luo Tong disobey your orders? ”

"That's right."

Li Chengqian said: "That's it." However, you have to give me an order, all the departments are good to defend the city, Chang'an must not be lost, and Zheng Tianyong cannot be allowed to take advantage of it. ”

"Yes."

Fang Xuanling said: "Your Highness, you can rest assured, with General Luo here, Zheng Tianyong will not dare to be presumptuous." ”

..........

Today's Zheng Tianyong can be said to be embattled, although his brain is not good, he can also understand the current situation.

In front is Chang'an City, but it can't be attacked, and behind is Luo Tong, and he can't fight, there are 20,000 iron cavalry, and the tens of thousands of infantry in his hands are not enough for people to step on if they talk about field battles.

The most important thing is that hundreds of miles away, there is also Li Shimin's army rushing here, and in a few days, maybe Li Shimin will come, and at that time, it will be difficult not to die.

Should it be in? Or retreat?

"I don't know what happened to Master Li, it's really worrying."

In the big tent of the Chinese army, Zheng Tianyong walked back and forth, his brows furrowed deeply.

"Marshal, the commanders are here."

"Let them in."

Zheng Tianyong walked to his seat and sat down.

A short time later, a dozen commanders walked in, lined up on either side.

Zheng Tianyong looked at the generals under his command and asked, "Everyone, what is the matter with me?" ”

Among them, the bearded strong man standing first took the lead in speaking, and said, "Marshal, I don't know what you plan to do next?" ”

"What's next? Of course, it's to conquer Chang'an City! ”

Zheng Tianyong looked at the general and asked, "Your name is Jiang Qing?" Could it be that you have a better way? ”

"Yes."

Jiang Qing was expressionless, and arched his hand: "Marshal, if Luo Tong is in the future, we can still conquer Chang'an, but Luo Tong is here, Chang'an City will not be able to be captured, we can't advance, we can't retreat and retreat, the last general implores the marshal, or surrender." ”

"What did you say?"

Zheng Tianyong was furious, got up and said: "How can this be reasonable, I usually treat you well, you dare to sentence me?" ”

Jiang Qing snorted coldly, waved his hand and looked at the other dozen or so generals in the tent, and said: "Marshal, in fact, we all mean this, we are all old and young, but we don't dare to rebel with you." ”

"Besides, Xiliang has been pacified, the emperor is rushing here, Luo Tong's 20,000 people are just pioneers, how can we be able to defeat them."

Zheng Tianyong exclaimed: "What? Li Shimin has pacified Xiliang? Where did you get the news? ”
