Chapter 101: Luo Shixin
Li Jiancheng immediately sent a fast horse to Yang Guang to report the victory after Li Mi retreated, and quickly led the troops to Jindi to set up defenses, Yang Guang heard that Li Jiancheng had successfully rescued Rongyang, and was very happy:
"Good! Li Jiancheng is really a pillar of my dynasty! When the civil and military ministers in the palace heard this, they all smiled and congratulated Yang Guang, and Wang Shichong came out of the class and said:
"Your Majesty! In this battle of Rongyang, the minister did not make an inch, and the minister invited himself to lead the troops to pursue Li Thief and reinforce Lord Li. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ο½ο½ο½Uο½Eγ info" Lu Chu and Yuan Wen also persuaded each other from the side, Yang Guang agreed, and ordered Li Jiancheng and Xu Shiji to return to Luoyang to report after arranging the defense of Jindi.

After Li Mi withdrew from the army, Li Jiancheng quickly occupied the Jindi and arranged for the deployment of defenses, took over the treasury of the official government to prevent the rebellious soldiers from looting, and after the matter was arranged, he just returned to the official office to rest, and heard the report of the soldiers:
"My lord, we found a seriously injured man in the back prison, we asked him, and he said that he was a partial general under General Zhang Xutuo, because he was captured and imprisoned there!"
"Oh! Send a military doctor to heal him, find him an upper room to live in, and take care of him! I'll go in a moment. Also, Ma Sanbao has no news. β
"Nope!" Li Jiancheng waved him irritably to let him go down, and then Li Jiancheng came to the room, and the military doctor gave medicine to that person, and when he saw Li Jiancheng arrive, he hurriedly saluted.
"How's his injury?"
"Lord Qiqi, his main thing is that the old injuries have not healed, and the new injuries have been repeated, but his body is strong and has not hurt the heart, I will prescribe a few medicines and recuperate for a while!"
"Luo Shixin has thanked this general for his kindness!" Li Jiancheng was taken aback when he heard Luo Shixin's name, one of the three gods of war under Zhang Xutuo, the other two were Qin Qiong and Cheng Yanjin, he remembered that in history, Luo Shixin surrendered to Li Mi after Zhang Xutuo's death, and later was defeated and captured when fighting with Wang Shichong, when Wang Shichong just got him, he was very serious, eating and sleeping with him, and later Wang Shichong defeated Li Mi and got Bing [bing] Yuanzhen and others, and no longer paid attention to Luo Shixin, Luo Shixin was ashamed of it. Later, Wang Shichong's nephew Wang Dao inquired about Luo Shixin's horse and asked him for it. Luo Shixin didn't give it, and Wang Shichong actually took the horse away and gave it to Wang Daoxun. Luo Shixin was deeply humiliated, when attacking Guzhou, Luo Shixin took the opportunity to lead his troops to surrender to the Tang Dynasty, became a strong general under Li Shimin, and helped Li Shimin pacify Luoyang, and then was defeated and captured in the battle with Liu Heimin, Liu Heimin personally surrendered, and was finally killed, only 23 years old. In the film and television works of later generations - the prototype of Luo Cheng in "Heroes of the Sui and Tang Dynasties", Li Shimin was very sad when he learned about it, ransomed his body with a lot of money, buried him, and gave him the nickname Yong. Li Jiancheng looked at the young man under twenty years old in front of him now. I secretly thought in my heart: 'This person is indeed very similar to Luo Shixin in terms of age, could it be that history has changed because of me, is this person really Luo Shixin?' Luo Shixin didn't care about Li Jiancheng's suspicious gaze, and cried to himself:
"General Zhang died a miserable death! At that time, I joined the army at the age of fourteen, the people in the barracks disliked me for being young and did not want me, I sat in front of the barracks for three days and three nights, General Zhang saw that I was sincere, and personally tried my martial arts, and took me as a personal soldier, and saw me brave on the battlefield, in order to encourage me, he gave me his beloved war horse, and taught me the art of war, and gave me back the experience on the battlefield to share, in my mind, just like my father, in order to save the besieged brothers, was shot like a hedgehog by Wang Bodang's thief. What a miserable death! But Qin Qiong and Cheng Yanjin, the two villains, ignored the general's friendship with them on weekdays, did not think about avenging the general, and insisted on serving the Li thief. In order to win over and appease the people's hearts, Li Thief pretended to be kind to me, and when he saw that I was unwilling to surrender to him, he ordered someone to put me in prison. Li Jiancheng felt in his words that he was an iron-clad man who never forgot his old kindness. After listening to his narration, he was told to recuperate with peace of mind, and after leaving the room, he found a personal soldier to take care of him.
"This person's bottom is quickly investigated, and Zhang Xutuo's troops who went to Luoyang are found, and let them recognize whether it is Luo Shixin or not." The pro-soldier nodded and left.
Three days later, Li Jiancheng came to the backyard where Luo Shixin was healing, and after the identification of the defeated soldiers under Zhang Xutuo, it was determined that this person was the real Luo Shixin, coupled with the treatment and cultivation of the military doctor, Luo Shixin's body began to recover, and when Li Jiancheng came to his side, he was holding a pile of stone locks to exercise his arm strength.
"Brother Shixin, it seems that he is recovering well!" Luo Shixin heard Li Jiancheng's voice and put down the stone lock. Salute Li Jiancheng with a fist:
"Oh! It's Brother Jiancheng! The little brother was able to recover so quickly, this is all the credit of Brother Jiancheng! Thank you Brother Jiancheng for taking care of you. Luo Shixin took the towel handed by the guard and wiped his sweat. Sitting opposite Li Jiancheng at a stone table in the courtyard.
"Brother Shixin, the emperor's decree has been issued, and the civil affairs and defense in the Jindi area have been completed, I will also report to Luoyang, I don't know what Brother Shixin plans in the future?"
"Brother Li, now my little brother is in turmoil, and I just want to take the opportunity to go to Luoyang with Brother Li this time to pay homage to my father and mentor Zhang Xutuo."
"Good! I'll send someone to arrange it right away. Li Jiancheng and Luo Shixin came to Zhang Xutuo's tomb, Luo Shixin jumped directly from the horse and crawled to Zhang Xutuo's tombstone on both knees.
"Father, father, the child is back, father, you died so miserably!" The original Zhang Xutuo's subordinates behind Luo Shixin also wept bitterly.
"General, general, you died so miserably! Checkmate! Luo Shixin pulled out the dagger he was carrying, slashed his palm, and blood flowed to the ground drop by drop.
"I, Luo Shixin, swear to the sky, I will kill Li Mi in my lifetime and avenge you, of course, if one day anyone can help me kill Li Mi, I Luo Shixin will be loyal to him all my life and never rebel!" Looking at Luo Shixin and his soldiers, Li Jiancheng felt that compared with the managers of the army and enterprises in later generations, they shouted that employees are the wealth of the enterprise and soldiers are their siblings, but they really handled the relationship according to their own emotional balance, Zhang Xutuo was more clever, because he really regarded his subordinates as living people, and gained their trust and emotion, only in this way can he achieve higher results, and there are still so many people who worship him after his death. After worshipping Zhang Xutuo, after Li Jiancheng and Luo Shixin returned to Luoyang, they heard that there was a general named Luo Yi under the evil Shixiong, and this time he was able to defeat Dou Jiande, because this Luo Yi was brave and good at fighting, and resourceful, Luo Shixin said to Li Jiancheng:
"Brother Li, I want to meet this Luo Yi, he has the same name as a distant brother in my original family, I want to see if it's him." Li Jiancheng agreed, broke up with Luo Shixin and came to the Inner Service Province, handed over his own token, and the eunuch of the Inner Service Province passed Yang Guang's will and ordered Li Jiancheng to rest in the post house first and wait for Yang Guang's summons. Li Jiancheng returned to the pavilion to rest for a few days, but because Yang Guang was busy, he did not issue an order to summon Li Jiancheng for a few days, according to the imperial court etiquette, courtiers were not allowed to move around at will if they were not summoned by the emperor, so Li Jiancheng had to stay in the pavilion even if he was irritable. On this day, Li Jiancheng was eating breakfast in his room, and suddenly, a person broke in despite the obstruction of the servants, Li Jiancheng was about to scold, and the person immediately knelt on his knees when he saw Li Jiancheng:
"Master Li, go and save General Luo!" Li Jiancheng carefully observed the person who came and knew that he was a rout under the original Zhang Xutuo, and later belonged to Luo Shixin.
"Hurry up, please get up, something happened to General Luo Shixin that makes you so anxious. Take your time. Li Jiancheng asked the servant to leave, handed him a glass of water, and he picked it up and drank it. After drinking, Li Jiancheng knew what had happened.
"After General Luo arrived at the camp of the Hebei Army, he was very happy after successfully recognizing General Luo Yi, and led us to the restaurant to have a banquet, and met a girl who was a wicked young man who was flirtatious and entertaining, the general had a straight personality, and pulled the evil young man away, and the evil young man said that we were defeated and surrendered to the enemy, and General Luo was angry, and injured him and his lackeys. Later, the evil young man's father sued us to the military department, saying that our General Luo was a rebel and a rebel general, maybe he was still a spy of the enemy, and arrested General Luo to the military headquarters. β
"Do you know who you guys are fighting?"
"Listen to his subordinates call him Yuwen Gongzi!"
"Yuwen Chengtoe!" As soon as he heard Yuwen Gongzi, Li Jiancheng thought of this person. His grandfather used to be a squire in the Ministry of War, and he had a lot of relationships in the Ministry of War, and Yu Wenhua and Yuwen Chengdu father and son were both Yang Guang's cronies, so Luo Shixin had to be skinned if he didn't die. Li Jiancheng did not stay, picked up the jade pendant given to him by Yang Guang, and went directly to the palace gate, the guards saw the emperor's jade pendant, and immediately opened the palace door, under the guidance of the eunuch, Li Jiancheng came to Yang Guang's dormitory, and saw Xue Shixiong, the commander of the Hebei reinforcements, and a military general kneeling in front of Yang Guang.
"Your Majesty, Luo Shixin is extremely brave, when General Zhang Xutuo worked with the old ministers, he mentioned his loyalty and courage many times, there must be something strange about the matter of surrendering to the enemy before this battle, please forgive your Majesty for his sins, and send him to serve in the army."
"Yes! Your Majesty, there must be some misunderstanding, and the minister Luo Yi begged the emperor to order a thorough investigation. Before Yang Guang could speak, the eunuch who was waiting for Yang Guang wanted Yang Guang to report:
"Your Majesty, Lord Li Jiancheng is here."
"Oh! He's coming, let him in! After Li Jiancheng came in, he saluted Yang Guang. And Yuwen Chengji teased his sister when he was in Chang'an, and he wanted to pull his younger brother into the house to be a child prostitute. and he was rescued from his cell only when he conquered Jindi Pass. And he was still seriously injured at the time, so there would be no fake. After Li Jiancheng finished speaking, he stared at Luo Yi with slanted eyes, only to think that he looked like a lazy leopard, but his prestige could not be faked, in the later Sui and Tang Romances, it is said that he had a special force under him, known as Yanyun Eighteen Cavalry, repeatedly went out to rob and kill Turkic tribes, never left a living mouth, I don't know if it is true, and the most important thing is that in history, he is still Li Jiancheng's ironcore, after Li Jiancheng's death, he raised troops from Youyun to avenge Li Jiancheng. Is it possible to use him in this life, Li Jiancheng secretly thought in his heart.
"Your Majesty, that Yuwen Chengzhi is a well-known pervert in the aristocratic circle, and General Luo Shixin is a useful general in the army, now is the time to employ people, please Your Majesty not kill the pillars of the country because of a gentleman, please forgive his life." Yang Guang didn't speak, and Yu Wenhua rushed in with tears on his face.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty!"
"Yuwen Aiqing, why is she so sad."
"Your Majesty, the second son of the minister, Yuwen Chengji, was seriously injured and has died, the old minister is so old, and now he is a white-haired person sending a black-haired person! Your Majesty, please be the master of your subordinates! Yu Wenhua deliberately pretended to be extremely sad and fainted directly, and Yuwen Chengdu immediately held Yu Wenhua and supported.
"Your Majesty, my father is over half a hundred years old, and now he is suffering from the loss of his son, I beg Your Majesty to be the master of the minister!" Yuwen Chengdu knocked his head to the sky. Li Jiancheng and Luo Yi also knelt down and kowtowed to Yu Wenhua and the competition in front of Yang Guang.
"Your Majesty, General Luo Shixin is a pillar of the imperial court, and he can't be killed in vain!"
"I beg Your Majesty to forgive the life of the minister's brother and let him make meritorious service to his crimes."
"Your Majesty, since ancient times, killing people to pay for their lives, and repaying debts, this is a truth that the people understand, and it is also the foundation of the law of my court. Also, that Lord Zhang Sutuo still knows that he sacrificed his life for the country and died on the battlefield, and most of his subordinates are greedy for life and afraid of death and ungrateful, such as Qin Qiong, Cheng Biting Jin, etc. It's hard to guarantee that this Luo Shixin has some deal with that Li thief, he came to us to go undercover. When Yang Guang heard this, his face was a little gloomy, and he pondered for a while.
"Today's business, let's stop here, and then make a decision tomorrow morning!" After Yang Guang gave the order, he went directly to the harem, and everyone didn't know what Yang Guang was thinking, so they had to retreat.
In the evening, Yuwen Chengdu accompanied Yu Wenhua and ate:
"Father, do you think the emperor will let Luo Shixin go."
"It's hard to say! Now it is difficult for the emperor to figure out what his father wants, but the old man's beloved son died unjustly, and he can't let him die in vain. Well! You have a hard trip tonight, go to the military department, no matter how much money you spend, you must not let it be better, try to be as secretive as possible, don't let people catch the handle. Also, send someone to hunt down and kill the woman who sang a little song, and let this broom star be buried with your second brother. Yu Wenhua said with a fierce look in his eyes.
"Yes! Where is the emperorγγγγγγ β
"You don't know how to use your brain, you don't have developed limbs, you don't have a simple mind."
"Yes! Father. Yuwen Chengdu took the order and left. Li Jiancheng knew that Yu Wenhua would not give up, so after he came back from the palace, he was not at ease, so he took Luo Yi and led people to find a restaurant at the gate of the prison of the Ministry of War and stared at it. Seeing Yuwen Chengdu inside, he immediately called Luo Yi and went in as well. Stopped by the doorman guarding the door.
"Stop! The military headquarters is important, and idle people are not allowed to enter without permission. β
"In Xia Li Jiancheng, this is Luo Yi, the deputy governor of Hebei Province, and we are here to visit the prison."
"I'm sorry two adults, but now the military department is holding serious criminals, and they are not allowed to enter casually without the emperor's holy decree."
"Then how did that Yuwen Chengdu get in just now?"
"He γγγγγ" The doorman was speechless for a while, and at this time, Yuwen Chengdu walked out of it.
"Hahaha! As the general of the Luoyang Forbidden Army, he is responsible for the defense and security inspection of Luoyang, and he is only passing by here, and he is afraid that someone will rob the repeat offender. So go in and inspect it, and the two adults should please come back! Li Jiancheng stepped forward and saluted.
"Lord Yuwen, the two of us have some friendship with General Luo Shixin, and I want to go in and send him something, please General Yuwen be accommodating."
"Humph! Send something, Luo Shixin is a key criminal of the imperial court, you won't go in to confess, right!? β
"Bastard, you're a bloody squirt, no, I must go in and have a look today." Luo Yi was bent on breaking in.
"Someone! Someone wants to rob the prison and release people, and I will be killed. After speaking, Yuwen Chengdu fought with Li Jiancheng and Luo Yi. Li Jiancheng has often practiced the five bird skills at sunrise recently, and uses the essence of sunrise for his own use, so although the moves are not as sharp as Yuwen Chengdu, but the internal force is strong, Yuwen Chengdu feels that his arms are sore every time he fights with him, not to mention that Luo Yi helps him, he has suffered a little bit from two to one, not to mention that Luo Yi is not a good stubble, the scimitar in his hand is like a meteor, and from time to time Yuwen Chengdu has an extra blood mark on his body, so he deals with it carefully.
"Brother Luo Yi, you hurry up and go in and rescue Shixin, I'm afraid that they have already done a bad job, and I have to deal with it here." Luo Yi saw that Li Jiancheng was more than enough to deal with Yuwen Chengdu, so he immediately left Yuwen Chengdu and ran inside, Yuwen Chengdu shouted in panic,
"Stop him!" was cut off two heads by Luo Yi with a knife, broke in with peace of mind, and directly hijacked a jailer.
"Say, where is Luo Shixin?" The jailer pointed with his hand.
"In the cell number."
"Take me right away." Luo Yi hijacked the jailer all the way to the Tianzi cell, and when he saw the scene, he angrily grabbed the jailer's neck and lifted it up:
"Say it! What the hell is going on? β
"The little one doesn't know anything!"
"Bastard!" Luo Yi angrily threw the jailer to the wall, and the jailer's brain splattered all over the wall, and he died without snorting.
