Chapter 233: Absorption
Luo Tong stopped Qin Huaiyu and said, "Forget it, don't chase it." Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info"
"Didn't we come for nothing?"
Luo Daodao: "I understand him, even if we catch up, we can't persuade him, so let him go to Jincheng." ”
Wang Buchao's remarks, although contrary to Luo Tong's purpose, Luo Tong can understand it very well; Compare hearts to hearts, if Datang can't get up now by Xiliang, and King Xiliang throws an olive branch to Luo Tong, will Luo Tong fall? The answer is no, even if the Tang Dynasty is extinct, Luo Tong will not surrender, no matter how sorry Li Shimin is for the Luo family, he will fight for the Tang Dynasty.
Therefore, for Wang Buchao's remarks, Luo Tong deeply agreed.
After chasing for a whole day, but in vain, Luo Tong and Qin Huaiyu did not bring Wang Buchao back, and saw him walking towards Jincheng.
After going back, Luo Yi and Wang Yan complained all the way, complaining that Luo Tong should not come by Wang Buchao's temperament, in case King Xiliang is not as good as he imagined, in case Wang Buchao is punished, then Wang Buchao will not die.
Luo Tong explained the matter well, but Luo Yi and Wang Yan became worried again, Wang Buchao's future is really slim.

"What? The boundary card level has been captured? ”
Li Daozong's big tent of the Chinese army, hearing the report of the spies, Li Daozong almost even fell out of his eyes, although he knew that this would be the result, but he didn't expect it to be so fast, just a few days, the huge boundary card pass fell into the hands of Luo Tong.
After listening to the details of the spies, Li Daozong suddenly realized and said with a smile: "Diverting the tiger from the mountain, this trick is really tried and tested." ”
Zheng Tianyong said: "This attack is too fast, should we also speed up and hurry up to the boundary card level?" ”
"There's no hurry."
Li Daozong said: "I have asked Feng Yu to take people to the Qinglong Pass, and the Luo Tong army has stopped at the Jiepai Pass, and it is even more difficult to think about passing the Qinglong Pass." ”
"When we went to the Jiepai Pass slowly, they also arrived at the Qinglong Pass, just right."
Although Zheng Tianyong knew that something was wrong, he didn't think much about it, he always looked at Li Daozong's horse, and what Li Daozong said was what it was.
I'm a person who doesn't like to think, so why bother with that brain.
"My lord, what do I need to do?"
"You, don't do anything, be your marshal."
Li Daozong stepped forward and patted Zheng Tianyong on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, I won't treat you badly, when the big thing is over, I will make you a real general, and at that time, you will all be the founding heroes." ”
The founding hero, that is equivalent to Qin Qiong, Wei Chigong, Cheng Yanjin like the figures, status, Zheng Tianyong smiled, hehe said: "My lord, then I will wait for that day, I hope it will not be too long." ”
The two looked at each other and smiled...
Boundary card level.
After stabilizing the situation, Rotong began to dispose of the captured 30,000 soldiers.
The 30,000 soldiers of Jiepai Pass were originally Wang Buchao's men, but they were later defrauded by Qin Huaiyu, and if they were all included in the army, there would be many problems; First of all, as the vanguard of Tang generals, he does not have this right, unless there is the crown prince Li Chengqian, or there is Li Shimin's will, it is a crime of rebellion to expand the army without permission.
Secondly, among the 30,000 soldiers, a small half of them are old men under Wang Buchao, who followed Wang Buchao from birth to death, with deep feelings, and many years of Xiliang soldiers, if they are included in the army, will they rebel?
Moreover, the 50,000 vanguard troops from Chang'an are all elites, and most of the 30,000 in Jiepai Pass are new recruits.
There are so many problems that make it difficult for Luo Tong, how should the 30,000 soldiers deal with it?
Cheng Yanjin, Luo Yi, Qin Huaiyu, Cheng Liang, Wei Chi Baolin and others also had different ideas, half of them supported the surrender, while the other half supported the dissolution on the spot.
Others want to escort 30,000 people and report to Chang'an according to normal procedures.
In the lobby, each has its own opinions, noisy and shouting, so lively.
"Outside, the king's order is not affected, and it should be included in the army to expand its strength, otherwise if something happens in the future, our troops will not be enough at all."
Qin Huaiyu insisted on his thoughts and said again.
Luo Yi and Luo Tong both support this statement and must be included in the army!
Luo Yi said: "Not to mention Li Daozong behind us, the more than a dozen checkpoints ahead are not something that our 50,000 troops can break through at will, with these 30,000 people, our chances of victory will be greatly increased." ”
Cheng Yanjin actually agrees with this statement, but he has many concerns, the most important thing is, once he is included in the army, what should he do if those soldiers who have followed Wang Buchao for many years rebel?
"Uncle, what do you think?"
Cheng Yanjin said: "It's better to disband them, there is not much food and grass in the army, and it is already unsustainable, and they are disbanded to make up for the shortfall." Besides, it will be difficult to explain to the court in the future, so it will be done once and for all. ”
Cheng Liang said: "That's a pity, 30,000 surprises, but it's a big force, and it will definitely help us in our westward expedition." ”
None of you or I have a unified idea.
In the end, Luo Yi came up with a way to get Cheng Yanjin to agree.
Luo Yi said: "It's a pity that the 30,000 army is abandoned, it's worrying, you might as well think of a way, think of a way to get the best of both worlds, so that the army can be incorporated without worrying about loyalty, as for the crime of expanding the army privately, we can join together to explain all this to the emperor, after all, it will be outside, the king's order is not affected, in order to win the war, sometimes some illegal means are used, it is not necessary. ”
It sounded good, but as soon as Luo Yi finished speaking, everyone rolled their eyes.
Cheng Yanjin said: "Then how can we not worry about loyalty after being absorbed?" ”
Luo Yi also thought about it, and suggested: "You might as well exclude dissidents, eliminate all the generals above the commander, leave only the soldiers, and select reliable people from our army to serve as the commander, and these 30,000 people are not integrated with our 50,000 army, even if there is any change, it can be suppressed at any time, if you are not at ease, all the generals above the centurion will be eliminated, and without the leader, how can the stragglers succeed?" ”
"Uncle, what do you think?"
Cheng Biting Jin thought about it, huh? Luo Yi's method seems to be really feasible, if all the generals above the centurion are replaced, what kind of storm can those stragglers who stay behind?
"I'll see it."
Luo Tong already supported storage, Luo Yi's method was in his hands, Cheng Yanjin, Luo Tong, Qin Huaiyu and others all immediately expressed their support for what Luo Yi said.
Lian Cheng Yanjin and Luo Tong agreed, and others did not have any objections, so the matter of the 30,000 army was finalized.
"Okay."
Luo Daodao: "Huaiyu, then these 30,000 people will be temporarily under your command, and strive to form a combat force in the shortest possible time, let's rest in the Jiepai Pass for a day, and then start the day after tomorrow and go straight to the Qinglong Pass." ”
"Yes."
.........
Qinglong Pass, located in the west of Jiepai Pass two hundred and fifty miles, although it is not dangerous, but it is also the only way to the hinterland of Xiliang, if you do not pass from here, it is difficult to reach the sleepy Yang City to rescue Li Shimin.
Therefore, it is necessary to overcome this hurdle.
After occupying the Jiepai Pass, Luo Tong's army got a lot of equipment, grain and grass, and most importantly, with siege equipment, they could form a siege city at any time.
This time, everyone didn't think of any other strategies, and they mustered up their momentum, mobilized siege equipment, and prepared for a tough battle.
