Chapter 401: Xiliang Xing (33)
After a while, a small crack opened in the city gate, and a soldier ran out, ran to Luo Yi, and handed the so-called token to the city tower. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Dong Cheng took the token in his hand, first looked at it himself, and then frowned to cover it up.
The three generals next to him were about to lean out and look, but they didn't expect to see anything.
"This county has been identified, it is fake, the person is fake, the token is also fake, I think the one outside the city must be a horse thief."
Dong Cheng looked at the three generals next to him and said.
"Lord Prefectural, can you let me wait and see?"
One of the lieutenants whispered.
Dong Cheng said: "What, you don't believe me? ”
The lieutenant said: "That's not it, it's just that we believe in our own eyes more, if it's really the great general Luo Yi, we will keep it out like this, and he will be held accountable one day.... ”
"What are you afraid of, there is me!" Dong Cheng snorted coldly.
As soon as these words came out, they were immediately exposed, and the three lieutenants pondered carefully, Dong Cheng's sentence 'What are you afraid of, what about me' seems to reveal a meaning, that is, he already knew that the person under the city tower was Luo Yi, and he deliberately went against Luo Yi.
The three lieutenants know very well that Dong Cheng is a distant relative of Li Dejiang, and he has always looked forward to Li Dejiang, and now Li Dejiang is rebelling in Pingxing, and Dong Cheng will echo him.
But the three lieutenants are not very willing to follow the crowd, they are the generals of the imperial court, they are officers and soldiers, if they have a bad idea, they are anti-thieves. Even if the person in front of them is a county magistrate, they are not afraid to survive.
Another lieutenant laughed, "Haha... As soon as the county magistrate's words came out, he didn't admit himself. ”
"If the person under the city is really Luo Yi, then let's let him enter the city quickly, so as not to cause trouble." Luo Yi is easy to provoke, the king is not easy to provoke, the king is angry, we all have to die. ”
"Hehe, Luo Yi is so messy? I think he is more terrible than the king, the king is far away in Jincheng and can't care about the affairs of Longxi, but Luo Yi is the general of Zhenxi who is the king of Feng, he said a word, we all have to die. ”
"That's right..."
.......
The three of them, one sentence from you and one sentence from me, quarreled, and they all decided to open the city gate to welcome Luo Yi into the city, in the spirit of not wanting to offend Luo Yi and not wanting to rebel with Dong Cheng.
Dong Cheng glanced at the three of them and shouted, "Shut up, what are you talking about?" ”
"I'll tell you the truth, this is the king's order, and the one standing under the city is indeed Luo Yi, but today, no one is allowed to open the city gate, otherwise, don't blame me for being unkind! Hum! ”
After speaking, Dong Cheng snorted heavily, waved his sleeves, and walked towards the city.
"Let's go, go back with me, Luo Yi won't attack the city today, so you don't have to be careful to garrison."
The three lieutenants hesitated, looked at each other, and finally didn't dare to fall out with Dong Cheng directly, after all, Dong Cheng is the county commander and the lord of Wu County, if Dong Cheng is offended, and Luo Yi didn't enter the city in the end, then wouldn't they have to bear Dong Cheng's anger.
In everyone's eyes, the three lieutenants followed Dong Cheng back to Wu County and walked towards the inner city.
After Luo Yi gave the token to Dong Cheng, he had already driven the war horse back to the military formation, and when he saw Dong Cheng and the others leaving, he also waved his hand and left with an army of 5,000.
The role of the token is just to let everyone in the city know that he is Luo Yi, the general of Zhenxi, if the group is abused, he must be ready to be punished.
Luo Yi didn't believe that the dignified three thousand imperial court soldiers would be at the mercy of a small family, once one of them didn't want to be in the same stream, then he would have a chance, just like Qingcheng, he would get the next city without much effort.
After running east for five miles, Luo Yi ordered the whole army to be stationed on the spot. It's a wilderness, and it's a good place for cavalry.
It was almost dark, and Luo Yi called the two lieutenants under him.
Since the battle at Surabaya Lake, the soldiers under the captains have been reduced one after another, originally one person had 5,000 in his hands, but now only 2,000 to 4,000, these two lieutenants happen to be the two most serious soldiers attrition.
Luo Yi originally wanted to merge the soldiers of the two so that he could concentrate his forces to facilitate the battle, but after thinking about it, he felt that it was inappropriate, so he had to put it aside first.
Inside the bright tent, two lieutenants rushed over: "General." ”
Luo Yi said: "Do it all." ”
"General Xie."
Luo Yi said: "This time to attack Wu County, it is not to kill many people, but to capture the main, we lack soldiers, we urgently need to replenish, Wu County has 3,000 newly recruited soldiers, just what we need." ”
"I called you here to ask you if there was a war... Can you be sure? ”
"I'm not talking about killing, I'm about captives....
The two captains were full of confidence, and one of them smiled and said: "General, you can rest assured, as long as there is a war, with the strength of our five thousand elite iron cavalry, it is really like digging into a bag to suppress the opponent's three thousand recruits." ”
Another lieutenant also smiled and said, "Yes, I think it won't take half an hour to end the war." ”
"It's just... The enemy cowered in the city, not engaged with us at all, which... It's a bit troublesome, we are cavalry, not good at attacking the city, the enemy always does not come out, we can't help it, we can't change the cavalry to infantry to forcibly attack the city, then the loss is only too big. ”
Luo Yi took two slow steps, waved his hand and said, "Then you can rest assured, I have an idea, you just need to prepare for the big battle." In addition, after Wu County is captured, don't care about food or anything, first go to find the armory, and transport the armor and weapons back to Qingcheng. ”
After giving the order, Luo Yi asked the two to retreat.
............
After waiting for a day, there was still no movement in Wu County.
But Luo Yi received some gossip that in addition to the county commander Dong Cheng in Wu County, there were three school captains, each with a thousand soldiers, and the relationship between the three of them and Dong Cheng was not very good, and they didn't agree with Dong Cheng and Luo Yi going against each other, and they seemed to have the intention of defecting.
The forces of Wu County are basically divided into four waves, one is Dong Cheng's 500 county soldiers, these 500 people have always existed and belong to the inherent arms of Wu County, and the other is the three captains, which can also be said to be three forces, each with 1,000 soldiers.
As for the rest, it is those family forces, but there are only two small families in Wu County, and their strength is negligible.
This situation gave Luo Yi a lot of confidence, if the captain did not join Dong Cheng, then it was very likely to be persuaded to surrender, Luo Yi is now short of an opportunity, an opportunity to meet with the third captain, only by meeting can the matter be completely spread out and explained clearly.
In the early morning of the third day, Luo Yi finally made up his mind and entered Wu County alone, pretending to be a merchant who came and went, and lived in a restaurant.
Although there are not many people in Wu County, compared with Qingcheng, it is a great place, and there are some prosperous scenes on the streets, with people coming and going, shoulder to shoulder.
"Dinner is coming, guest officer."
Luo Yi was thinking about how to contact the third lieutenant when the door was pushed open, and a shopkeeper walked in with two dishes.
Luo Yi asked, "Little brother, let me ask you something." ”
The shopkeeper put the king of the veil on his shoulder, and said honestly: "Please say that the guest officer, I will tell you what I know, and don't talk nonsense if I don't know." ”
Luo Yi nodded and asked, "In addition to the county order, there are also officials with great power in your county?" ”
The shopkeeper said: "Yes, just a few months ago, the government recruited troops and held a competition in that square, and three people were elected as captains, and they all held military power." ”
"Hehe, you know a lot."
"Who doesn't know this."
Luo Yi asked, "Then do you know where they live?" ”
"You... Who is it? ”
The shopkeeper suddenly became vigilant and asked cautiously.
Luo Yi opened his mouth to inquire about the affairs of the official family, of course he had to be careful, if he lost his head because of nonsense, it would be very worthless.
