Chapter 256: Capture Yan Rou and Earn Yan Liang
When Karasuma's whole army raided the Jin army, Luo Cheng had already killed the flank of the Jin army, and when he saw the two warring sides, he did not hesitate any longer, and directly led the army to join the battlefield.
As a result, the battlefield became even more chaotic, and the Karasuma people, Jin people, and Tang people were mixed up.
Within half an hour, the Jin army had no heart to resist at all, and even Yan Rou was captured by Luo Chengsheng.
"Clean up the battlefield quickly!"
After capturing Yan Rou alive, Luo Cheng couldn't see the slightest joy on his face, but fortunately, at this time, Tian Yu had already led people to block the road to the west, ensuring that they would not be encountered by Yan Liang, who was in a hurry, and affected the next plan.
In this battle, Luo Cheng and others annihilated more than 3,000 Jin troops and captured nearly 30,000 Jin soldiers.
After the battlefield was cleaned, Luo Cheng did not delay at all, and asked the guards beside him, "Are you ready?" ”
The guard replied respectfully: "Everything has been prepared, just wait for the general's order." ”
"Alright, get ready to act!"
……
The night was quiet and terrible, and the moon in the sky did not know when it would be covered, and there was not a trace of light that could penetrate the clouds.
Da Da Da ......
Suddenly, the sound of horses' hooves in the distance broke the quiet night sky, there were about 20,000 people in this line, led by a sturdy man, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, a high nose and a wide mouth, and a square Chinese face, who hurried all night, but there was no trace of fatigue on his face, it was Yan Liang and others who rushed to Xu Wucheng to support.
In a hurry, Yan Liang reluctantly glanced at the surrounding environment, but the night was dim and he couldn't see the boundary, so he asked the soldier who acted as a guide next to him, "Where are we now?" ”
The soldier smiled bitterly and said, "General, it's dark at night, and we can't see the road clearly, but with our speed, it will take us at most an hour to reach Xu Wu." ”
"Okay, send an order to the whole army, speed up, get to Xu Wucheng, let's rest again."
"No!"
After about an hour and a half, according to the report of the Tanma, they were already less than thirty miles away from Xu Wucheng, and it only took a moment to arrive.
Yan Liang did not know the current battle situation between the two sides, and did not rush to the city to join Yan Rou's soldiers and horses, but instead ordered the whole army to rest in place, and then sent a large number of scouts to investigate the intelligence of both sides.
Soon after, the scouts reported that they did not see Yan Rou's camp under the city, but Xu Wuchengtou, who was planting the banner of the Jin army, and looked at the clothing of the defenders at the head of the city, which was undoubtedly the Jin army.
Yan Liang's heart was shocked, hesitated for a long time, and said to the guards beside him: "Go, follow me to the next trip to the city." ”
Outside the city, Yan Liang shrugged his nose, years of military life made him clearly smell the smell of blood in the air that had not yet dissipated.
"Looks like it's probably a step too late." Yan Liang looked at the city wall in the distance and muttered to himself.
Squinting, by the light of the light, he could vaguely see the banner of the Jin army fluttering on the head of the city, Yan Liang kept thinking about how to test the defenders in the city.
After a while, Yan Liang said to the more than 100 guards around him: "Let's go, go to the next trip to the city with a certain person." ”
Yan Liang and the others did not deliberately suppress the sound of horses' hooves, and their arrival immediately caused the actions of the defenders at the head of the city.
"What people!"
"General Yan Liang." Yan Liang was dressed in golden armor, at the front of the team, walked to the city gate a few feet, stopped, heard the soldiers on the city wall, an authentic Jizhou accent, most of the doubts in his heart had disappeared, and he ordered without doubt: "Open the city gate, I want to enter the city!" ”
The soldiers on the city wall heard that it was Yan Liang, but he couldn't open the door without the order of his boss, so he could only say: "Wait a minute, the general will go to report." ”
"Go and get back." Yan Liang waved his hand impatiently.
Shao leaned, the city gate opened, and an officer dressed as a lieutenant walked out of the city, gave a military salute to Yan Liang, and said: "I don't know that the general is coming, and I have missed the welcome, so please forgive me." ”
Yan Liang saw that it was only a lieutenant-level officer who came to greet him, and said in his heart, Yan Rou is really a big shelf, and then said with a dissatisfied face: "What about Yan Rou, I ordered him to come to see so-and-so." ”
The lieutenant explained: "General Yan went to the east to hunt down the remnants of the enemy, and he has not yet returned. ”
The captain briefly described Yan Rou's plans one by one, and then waited for Yan Liang's order.
After Yan Liang heard the captain's explanation, his face turned slightly pale, and he said to the captain: "Get out of the way and wait for us to enter the city." ”
"General, please." An undetectable smile flashed across the captain's face, and he moved out of the way and made a gesture of please.
"Let's go, go into town with so-and-so." Yan Liang gave an order to the guards beside him, and then quietly asked the soldier beside him, "Do any of you recognize this person?" ”
"General Hui, I have seen this person next to General Yan Rou, and he is indeed our person." Someone in the guards recognized the captain and bowed to Yan Liang.
Hearing the words of the guard, Yan Liang no longer had any doubts in his heart, and said with a wave of his hand: "Enter the city!" ”
Entering the city, the city gate was closed and locked, Yan Liang frowned when he saw it, didn't think much about it, and continued to follow the soldiers leading the way in front of him into the city.
The more Yan Liang walked, the more he felt that something was wrong, the city was too quiet, and all the way, he didn't see a team of patrolling soldiers.
Just as Yan Liang was puzzled, the soldier who led the way suddenly stopped and stood in place.
"What's going on?" Yan Liang asked in a deep voice.
The soldier who led the way did not answer, Yan Liang accentuated his tone and asked a few more times, but the soldier was still silent.
"Haha, let's answer General Yan's words." Just as Yan Liang wanted to ride his horse and walk towards the soldiers, a large number of torches suddenly appeared around him, and then the soldiers rushed out.
"It's Tang Jun!"
"How is it possible, aren't they exterminated!"
Yan Liang was very familiar with this voice, and gritted his teeth and said, "It's you, Luo Cheng!" ”
"Yes, it's a certain house!" Luo Cheng jumped on his horse and speared and appeared in front of Yan Liang.
"Plotter, you've been tricked!" There was another shout behind him: "The majestic sea is here, Yan Liang Xiao'er, dare to fight!" ”
When Yan Liang saw this situation, he knew that he could not be spared, and the violent anger in his heart rushed to his head, and shouted: "The soldiers should be shrouded in horse leather and returned, today we have no way back, only to fight to the death!" ”
These guards have followed Yan Liang to fight in the south and the north for several years, and they can be described as his diehards, and when they heard Yan Liang's desperate shout, they all shouted: "Fight to the death!" Fight to the death! ”
"Today I go to Huangquan with you! Kill! Yan Liang burst out and went straight towards Luo Cheng.
Although Yan Liang and his guards resisted desperately, in the face of hundreds of Tang troops, they were defeated after all, and they were soon wiped out by the Tang army.
"Yan Liang, all your subordinates have been wiped out, surrender." Looking at Yan Liang, who was still fighting in the trapped beast, Luo Cheng couldn't help but open his mouth to surrender.
"There is only Yan Liang who died in battle tonight, and there is no general who surrendered." After that, Yan Liang continued to swing his knife and slash at Luo Cheng, there was no trace of defense in the knife technique, it was completely a life-for-life style of play.
Luo Cheng naturally would not fight with his life, a spear was like a seal, and he kept defusing Yan Liang's fatal attack.
In the blink of an eye, dozens of rounds have passed, and after several days of running, before he has time to rest, he has already thrown himself into the battlefield, and Yan Liang has been exhausted after dozens of rounds of strong attacks, relying on amazing toughness to support until now, however, his sword skills have gradually dispersed.
Finally, there was a fatal slowness in Yan Liang's knife technique, Luo Cheng's hand was quick, and the tip of the spear stabbed straight into his chest along Yan Liang's blade.
"My lord, I can't fight for you in this life." Before he died, Yan Liang reluctantly glanced at the southwest, as if he saw the capital of the Jin Kingdom, and then closed his eyes forever.
Looking at Yan Liang's corpse, Luo Cheng sighed: "This Yan Liang is also a good man, and he will be ordered to go down and bury him." ”
Without Yan Liang, the 20,000 Jin troops outside the city surrendered to the Tang State without the slightest accident.
……
"Get in!"
At dawn the next day, Yan Rou was escorted by two soldiers into the hall where Luo Cheng and others were discussing in the city.
At this time, everyone in the hall sat on both sides, of course, including Karasuma's Shan Yu Qiu Liju, in order to show his fancy for Qiu Liju, Luo Cheng deliberately set Qiu Liju's seat behind the majestic sea.
"General, the enemy will bring Yan Rou." The soldier bowed, saw Luo Cheng's gesture, and retreated.
"General Yan, it's been a long time." Luo Cheng looked at Yan Rou standing in front of him, and his words were very peaceful, not at all like facing the enemy.
Yan Rou, as a leading general, was captured by Luo Chengsheng, which was originally an extremely embarrassing thing, and he didn't hear any embarrassing words from Luo Cheng's mouth, Yan Rou was also relieved in his heart, but he still couldn't see his thoughts from Yan Rou's expression.
Yan Rou said lightly: "The general of the defeated army, there is General Lao's concern." ”
Yan Rou flicked his sleeves, although he said this, he couldn't see a trace of a captive on his face, and he still looked at everyone with a clear face.
Yan Rou's attitude aroused Xiong Kuohai's anger, and Xiong Kuohai slapped the table in front of him hard, and said sharply: "Give shameless things, believe it or not, I will kill you now!" ”
Hearing Xiong Kuohai's words, Yan Rou smiled coldly, glanced around at everyone in the hall, and saw that their expressions were all like Xiong Kuohai, a self-deprecating smile flashed in her heart, and she completely ignored Xiong Kuohai.
After Yan Rou was captured, he also thought several times about how to face Luo Cheng and other Tang generals, scolded Luo Cheng angrily, and then was directly ordered to be executed by him, or directly begged for death, or did not say a word.
It's just that seeing Tang Jun's attitude, Yan Rou didn't say much, and simply said: "If you want to kill, kill it, and definitely don't frown." ”
"Hmph, I really don't dare to kill you!" Xiong Kuohai got up, walked in front of Yan Rou with an arrow step, stretched out his hand and grabbed his shirt, and was about to fight.
"General Xiong, stop!" Luo Cheng also hurriedly stood up, walked quickly in front of Xiong Kuohai, and stopped Xiong Kuohai's movements.
Xiong Kuohai's punch is not something that ordinary people can follow, even if he really gets such a punch, he will need a breath to relieve it, not to mention Yan Rou, with his body, if he doesn't die, he will be seriously injured.
Seeing Luo Cheng pleading, Xiong Kuohai let go of the hand holding Yan Rou, snorted coldly, and sat down in his seat.
Luo Cheng looked at Xiong Kuohai who was sitting on the side, his eyes flashed with apologies, and then said to Yan Rou: "General Yan is not strange, General Xiong's temper is like this. ”
Yan Rou was a little speechless when she heard Luo Cheng's words, isn't it strange? He is already a prisoner of the Tang Kingdom, how can he blame the generals of the Tang Kingdom.
"I wonder what the general plans to do with a certain family?" Yan Rou didn't continue to talk nonsense anymore and asked directly.
"Cheng naturally hopes that the general will be able to surrender." Luo Cheng looked at Yan Rou with a smile, waiting for his answer.
Yan Rou said unceremoniously: "The general doesn't have to think in vain, the king of Jin will reign for a day, and he will definitely not switch to another country." ”
The entire hall fell silent in an instant because of Yan Rou's words, and everyone looked at Luo Cheng waiting for his order.
"Isn't the General thinking about it anymore?" Luo Cheng was expressionless, staring at Yan Rou, with a faint cold color in his eyes.
Yan Rou glanced at Luo Cheng and was silent.
"Someone is coming, and it will ...... General Yan went down to rest. Seeing that Yan Rou refused to surrender, Luo Cheng originally wanted to execute Yan Rou directly, but after seeing Tian Yu's eyes, he immediately changed his order.
Yan Rou glanced at Luo Cheng in a little surprise, and then left the hall under the escort of the soldiers.
"Why did the state stop so-and-so?" Luo Cheng asked puzzledly, Yan Rou's attitude was already very clear, he would not surrender to the Tang Kingdom, why did he keep him?
But seeing that Tian Yu smiled a little mysteriously, he did not answer Luo Cheng's words.
Luo Cheng was accustomed to Tian Yu and others pretending to be mysterious, and the majestic sea on the side couldn't help but say: "You literati just don't talk happily, and you have to sell some lawsuit." ”
Luo Cheng and the others all glanced at each other, laughing out loud in the state of being confused by the vast sea, the only difference was that Tian Yu's smile was a little crying and laughing.
"What are you laughing at?" Xiong Kuohai looked at the laughing crowd, touched the back of his head, and asked.
In fact, Luo Cheng and the others didn't understand Tian Yu's intentions, and after laughing, they all looked at Tian Yu in the hope that he could solve his doubts.
Tian Yu felt everyone's eyes, smiled calmly and said, "Since everyone wants to know, let's say it clearly." ”
"Yan Rou is not without the possibility of surrendering, what Yan Rou said just now is very clear, as long as Yuan Shao does not die, he will not surrender, but what if Yuan Shao dies?"
"The reason why Yan Rou stayed was only because his status among the aliens was not low, and after taking Youzhou, the northern border might have to be maintained by him."
Tian Yu told the thoughts in his heart: "Besides, Yuan Shao's love general Yan Liang died here, all of this can be used to make a fuss, and when the time comes, are you still afraid that Yan Rou will not surrender to the Tang Kingdom!" ”
In the end, the corners of Tian Yu's mouth hooked up a slight smile, and everyone who watched it shuddered.
Luo Cheng listened to Tian Yu's words and said directly: "This matter depends on the state, and the follow-up arrangements are all up to the state." ”
Now that the northern border has basically been pacified, only Gongsun Du of Liaodong and the Jin army of Zhuojun are left in Youzhou, but Liaodong is bitterly cold, and Tang will not do it in a short time, but the Jin State of Zhuojun is the next arrangement of Tang State.
In the end, everyone discussed, and Luo Cheng immediately led the troops to Zhuo County to reinforce Xue Rengui, and Xiong Kuohai stayed, dealt with the aftermath with Tian Yu, trained the army, and then developed with peace of mind, waiting for the arrival of the next war.
