83, Luo Yi's face
In the night, Zhang Chao invited Zhao Cihao and Yang Qi through Dou Zhi again, and then began to tell them about what happened in Chang'an. And what happened in Chang'an made them feel shocked, because there was actually a coup d'Γ©tat in Chang'an, that is, the Xuanwumen Change, and the actual control of the country has changed, no longer the emperor Li Yuan, but the new crown prince Li Shimin. As for Li Jiancheng, they have also been killed. Maybe now Li Shimin has ascended the throne and become emperor, because the news that Li Jiancheng was killed and the central power of the country changed hands was more than ten days ago, so this is already outdated news. Now that Zhang Chao has said this, he actually wants to tell them that things have changed seriously. What happened before in more than a dozen Tainan, I'm afraid it has caused a chain reaction now.
"You should know that what happened more than ten days ago, then we have been here for more than ten days, and what can happen in these ten days must be very unusual." Zhang Chao said.
More than ten days is already a very huge number for a military strategist, and it can change a lot of things. So more than ten days have passed since hearing about it, which makes Zhao Cihao and Yang Qi already worried about what kind of changes will happen next. At that time, I'm afraid that Luo Yi will also become a different situation here. Luo Yi is the person of the original crown prince Li Jiancheng, he naturally follows Li Jiancheng, once Li Jiancheng is killed, can the new emperor tolerate him? Therefore, the next step is definitely to face a drastic adjustment, and this situation is what Yang Qi and Zhao Cihao are worried about.
"What do you think Luo Yi will do? He is afraid that he will collude with the Turks, and then put the Turks into the Central Plains, and then hope that the Turks will break through Chang'an, so that they will inevitably cause very great harm. At that time, we were going to face a very major crisis, and at that time, once the Tang Dynasty Chang'an fell. The central government of the imperial court lost its prestige in suppressing the localities, and the powerful factions in the localities would rise up in rebellion. At that time, the world was in turmoil again, were you willing to encounter this situation? Zhang Chao asked.
Zhao Cihao immediately said: "Unwilling! However, this does not mean that this is General Li Yi who wants to collude with the Turks to rebel! You have no proof. β
"Look at this!" Zhang Chao said.
Zhang Chao gave the translated coded letter to Zhao Cihao and Yang Qi to look at it, Zhao Cihao and Yang Qi looked at the document, and then Zhao Cihao immediately asked: "Is this true?" But this is not General Luo's note. β
"Of course. This is a document that I translated, and they actually compiled it in ciphers, so we can't crack it. This is the original, but maybe you don't understand it. Zhang Chao said.
Zhang Chao then showed them the original, but they couldn't understand the password of the original, and there were few people in the world who could understand it.
"This is Mr. Fu's handwriting next to General Luo, Mr. Ang Fu is selling his calligraphy, I have seen it when the time comes, the handwriting of this original is Mr. Fu's!" Yang Qi said immediately.
"Well, you should know that the so-called Mr. Fu is Luo Yi's cronies. This shouldn't be a problem, right? Zhang Chao asked.
Zhao Cihao thought for a while, and then said: "But this still can't prove that General Luo collaborated with the enemy and betrayed the country, do you have any evidence?" β
"Well, let me tell you, the Turks will pass through Jingzhou in three or four days, or at least one or two days, and then they will attack Chang'an. At that time, Chang'an was in danger, and Luo Yi would inevitably resolutely refuse to send troops at that time. He wished that Chang'an would fall, and then get the opportunity to dominate the world again. Therefore, when the time comes, Luo Yi will inevitably strictly order you not to send troops against the Turks. Instead, it is necessary to preserve strength. If he doesn't go to the rescue in the face of the danger in the capital, can it show that he has the idea of rebelling against the Tang Dynasty? If you can't believe it, you'll find out in a day or two. Zhang Chao asked.
"Knock knock ......"
Suddenly, a drum beat sounded from the military offices in various places, and then Zhao Cihao and Yang Qi heard this drum sound, and immediately chuckled in their hearts. Because this drum is the drum sound of encountering a large group of enemies. Apparently the enemy has invaded on a large scale. So Zhao Cihao and Yang Qi just heard what Zhang Chao said that the Turks were about to invade, and they immediately thought that the Turks had already invaded. At this time, all soldiers have to help protect the land together, and are responsible for being ready to participate in the battle at any time. So at this time, Zhao Cihao and Yang Qi had to return to their unified army mansion to be responsible for managing the soldiers, ready to participate in the battle at any time.
"Alright. We're going back, and then it's up to you to see what you said, whether General Luo Yi betrayed the Tang Dynasty! Zhao Cihao said.
Zhang Chao continued: "I'll go back with you, I'll take Miss Dou over with me, and then let's go together to see what kind of birdman Luo Yi is." β
Zhang Chao and Dou Zhi, as well as Qian Feng and more than 20 Qianniuwei under him, also inherited the clothes of ordinary soldiers, and then followed Zhao Cihao to the unified army mansion that Zhao Cihao was in charge of. And Zhang Chao and they formed a "team" and stationed them alone, and Zhao Cihao also told other soldiers that these people were transferred to another team. There are 1,200 people in a Zhechong Mansion, and it is not very unusual to have more than 30 people, and Zhang Chao's "team" has also temporarily become Zhao Cihao's personal team, responsible for following Zhao Cihao's side, so that people can hide their eyes.
"Zhao Hussar, General Li Yi asked you to go to the Tianjie Military Academy to meet and discuss the matter of fighting the Turkic invasion." A soldier said.
"Okay, I'll take my own soldiers over right away!" Zhao Cihao said.
Zhao Cihao took Zhang Chao and their "pro-soldier team" to the Tianjie Army's big school field in Jingzhou, and then prepared to meet Luo Yi. Zhang Chao followed Zhao Cihao to the Daxiao field, and then found that there were many people gathered here, they were all generals of the Tianjie Army, and they were all ready to come here to discuss with everyone how to deal with the Turks. And the soldiers they have under them are as few as 800 or as many as 1,200, and there are some middle and senior generals above them, all of whom are generals of the Tianjie Army. And they will meet here to discuss plans to stop the enemy.
After everyone walked in, Luo Yi was finally late, as if he was the most important person.
"King Yanjun has arrived!" Someone immediately said.
"I've seen the prince!" Everyone saluted together.
Zhang Chao then looked at this Luo Yi, who was about forty years old and had some beard on his face. But apparently his eyes were bright. The eyes are like eagles. And all this also shows that he is a veteran, a veteran on the battlefield. However, this guy Luo Yi is definitely not a good-tempered person, he is not only murderous, but also cunning, once he identifies the enemy, he will never show mercy. And now he began to have the idea of becoming an emperor, but the general trend of the world was no longer able to help him. So he wanted to be able to use the power of the Turks. to achieve their own ends. As long as the Turks can break through Chang'an, the Tang Dynasty will also disintegrate again, and there will be a chance to dominate the world at that time. So he is ready now, that is, to buy the military heart of this 80,000 Heavenly Festival Army under his command, and then let them be the most important bargaining chip for his domination of the world. However, these 80,000 Heavenly Festival Army, that must not be lost.
"According to the scouts, the Turks are very close to us, and their goal is if nothing else. That is Chang'an. Tell me, what should we do? Luo Yi said.
And immediately someone said: "King Yanjun, I think we still have to try our best to stop these Turks, and then we can buy time for Chang'an!" β
"Yes! General Li, we should stop the Turks as soon as possible, and then buy time for our Tang Dynasty to deploy troops, and then fight the Turks to the death! β
And Zhao Cihao immediately said; "King Yanjun, the last general will ask for battle. I hope to take people out to stop the Turks, and then defend the land for my Tang Dynasty. β
"King Yanjun. The last general is going to fight! Everyone shouted together.
And the corners of Luo Yi's mouth twitched, obviously not expecting such a result. So many people asked to take the initiative to fight against the Turks. And this method is actually the best. Only if they can let the Tianjie army come out to block the enemy, then Chang'an in the rear can also get the news in time, and then hurry to transfer troops to guard Chang'an, and even support Jingzhou. And the 80,000 Heavenly Festival Army can be used as an important new force to stop the Turks. Relying on a well-established defensive line, it is not a problem at all to block the enemy. In this way, the Turks will also be blocked on the defense line of Jingzhou, and the rear will definitely get a steady stream of mobilized soldiers, so that the Turks can be completely repulsed.
But these generals didn't know that their main general, Luo Yi, had already betrayed the Tang Dynasty. chose to collude with the Turks, so that he could fight for his dream of being emperor. And he regarded this 80,000 Heavenly Festival Army as the foundation for his hegemony in the world, how could he be willing to sacrifice here to protect the Tang Dynasty? Therefore, he must find a reason not to block it.
"There are more than 200,000 Turks, and our number is only 80,000, so we can't be their opponents!" Luo Yi said.
But Luo Yi didn't realize that this reason was too far-fetched, this reason was actually very far-fetched, and it didn't conform to military common sense. Luo Yi only emphasized the advantage of the enemy's numbers, but he did not pay attention to his own advantage, in fact, this is a big loss of level.
Yang Qi immediately asked: "King Yanjun, what if there are 200,000 Turks." We can defend on our defensive line, our defensive line is very strong, as long as we can hold on to it and wait for reinforcements from the rear, we can hold on. The Turks are all cavalry, they are not good at field warfare, as long as we can defend well and do not rashly go out to fight a decisive battle with the Turks, then there is no problem at all in holding Jingzhou. So, King Yanjun, let's go and fight. β
But Luo Yi was suddenly stunned, what he said just now was indeed a bit off-standard, in fact, although the infantry was at a disadvantage to the cavalry in the field, but now it is not in the field, it is just a positional defensive battle, in fact, there is no need to worry about any cavalry. It is true that the Turks are cavalry, but they can rely on a perfect defense line, and it is not a problem to defend against the Turks. As long as the Turks can't break through the defense line, the Turkic spirit will be completely delayed in the defense line of Jingzhou, which can completely delay time. As long as the time is delayed, Chang'an, the capital of the Tang Dynasty in the rear, will also come to deploy troops and support at any time, and then it will not be a problem to repel the Turks. However, Luo Yijing did not regard Datang as his own country, and he immediately wanted the Turks to overthrow Datang, so he naturally ignored this.
"I don't think we should directly stop the Turks, in case the Turks break through our Jingzhou, will they brutally kill the people of Jingzhou? At that time, the people of Jingzhou suffered heavy losses. Since I am the general of the imperial court guarding Jingzhou, then I must also ensure the safety of the people of Jingzhou, and I cannot provoke the Turks casually. The Turks are too ferocious, and it will be the people of Jingzhou who will lose at that time! Luo Yi said.
And Zhao Cihao muttered in a low voice: "This is too far-fetched, right?" β
Zhang Chao immediately whispered: "General Zhao, you should also know what Luo Yi thinks." He then hoped to let the Turks go. β
"So. I decided that everyone should defend the places closely, and if you encounter the Turks, you can't attack casually, and the Turks will let them go wherever they want. As long as the Turks do not take the initiative to attack, then we cannot take the initiative to provoke them. As long as we can keep Jingzhou from the disaster of swords and soldiers, it will be a great merit. Luo Yi said.
And this made everyone's faces look weird, Luo Yi would actually say that? Could it be that in order to protect the people of Jingzhou, the people of Chang'an don't need it? You must know that these soldiers all came from the troubled times in the last years of the Sui Dynasty, and they followed them everywhere. And in the troubled times, he has fought in many places. And a large number of the people have left their homes, and they have all left their hometowns. Therefore, these soldiers are all from all over the world, not from the people of Jingzhou. Therefore, their soldier composition with complex origins causes them to have a weak sense of belonging to Jingzhou City. They are only stationed here temporarily, and although they may settle down in the future, they don't have much affection for Jingzhou at the moment. Therefore, when they heard this kind of words about sacrificing the people of Chang'an for the people of Jingzhou, they were still very disgusted. They come from all over the world, and there are very few clan ideas and regional ideas. So Luo Yi's words made them very speechless.
However, just when everyone hesitated. Immediately, a man came running covered in blood.
"King Yanjun, it's not good, it's not good, the Turks are attacking from us. We were weak points here, and they quickly broke through our weak points, and then the armies began to pour in. β
"King Yanjun. Oh no, the Turks drilled through the holes in our defenses. Two hundred thousand Turks are exploiting our loopholes everywhere, and we can't defend against them at all! β
Hearing this news, the countless generals present were also shocked, because the Turks actually began to infiltrate into the various defense lines of the Tianjie Army. Of course, it is impossible for the Tianjie Army to defend all the defensive lines, and every place is heavily guarded. They only took out a part of it to focus on defense, while the troops in other places were relatively weak. However, these weak points are also a secret, and those weak points on the defense line have been major secrets in the military since ancient times, and they cannot be said. If the enemy knows the weak points in his own defensive line, it is easy to attack from these weak points, and then drive all the way to the end of the entire defensive line. These weak points are also the seven inches of a defensive line, and once the seven inches are held, I am afraid that it will not be far from the collapse of the entire defensive line.
"What's going on here? How is it possible that the Turks have always picked our weak points to attack? "Yes! This can't be! How could it be that the Turks always picked the weak point and then broke it in one attack? "Yes! How come these Turks know our weak points, and they take advantage of them everywhere? The 200,000-strong army has infiltrated our weakness in this way, and it really kills us! "Yes! There's definitely a problem, what the hell is going on here? ββ¦β¦
Luo Yi's face darkened, because he didn't expect the Turks to actually slap him. Originally, Luo Yi agreed with the Turks that the Turks should not attack from any weak points, but pretend to fight with the Tianjie Army, and then avoid others from finding out that Luo Yi had given the defense map to the Turks. The Turks have the defense map of the Tianjie army, and they can break through from the weak points of the Tianjie army every time, and then a large number of troops attack from these weak points, and then step by step, a large number of troops can quickly bypass the defense line of the Tianjie army, and then easily break through the defense line of the Tianjie army without spending many soldiers. Because those were weak points, the losses of the Turks were not large, and even if the soldiers of the Tianjie Army reflected later, it would be impossible to hunt down the Turks. Because the Turks are cavalry, the speed of the cavalry must be much stronger than the infantry, so it is impossible for the Turkic cavalry to be caught up by the infantry, and the Tianjie army will fall into a state of confusion because of this.
However, the Turks did not follow what they had discussed with Luo Yi in advance, and faked a fight to hide people's eyes. So now that they saw that this Turk was so fast that they broke through the defense line directly, everyone felt incredible. If it just encountered a weak point, it can be said that the Turkic blind cat ran into a dead mouse, but now all the weak points have also been used by the Turks, which is enough to show that the Turks have a comprehensive Tianjie army defense map. With this Tianjie Army's defense map, all the defense lines of the Tianjie Army are like a sieve, full of incomparably incomparable loopholes.
"There are moles, there are definitely moles! There are definitely traitors among us, otherwise how could the Turks have gotten a complete map of the defenses? Someone immediately scolded.
Then someone yelled: "Yes, there are definitely moles, if there are no moles among us, then I will cut off my head and kick it as a ball for everyone!" β
"Damn, if I let me know who the traitor is, and he actually betrayed the defense map, then I will definitely not let him go!"
Everyone began to denounce who this traitor was, and he actually sold all the defense maps, which is simply terrible.
"Report! The 200,000 Turks have all penetrated through our defensive line, and they are not directly fighting with us, they are all rushing to Chang'an! "Someone reported it right away.
"King Yanjun, immediately lead the troops to chase after you!" "Yes! If the Turks break through Chang'an, then my Tang Dynasty will be finished! "Yes! King Yanjun, hurry up and lead the troops to chase and support Chang'an! β
It seemed that it was Luo Yi, but he immediately said: "No, don't chase it." Now that the Turks have broken through our defenses, we should not pursue them. We are good at guarding our Jingzhou, and then let the people of Jingzhou not suffer! β
"Also, we must find out that traitor, if we don't find out, even if we go to support, it will be useless!" Luo Yi continued.
"Yes! That traitor must be found, or we will never have peace. I don't know all of this defense map of our Tianjie army, I just know my part of the defense map, but how did the Turks know all of it? "Yes! Each of us only knows part of these defense maps, how do they know all of them, but in less than an hour, 200,000 troops have infiltrated it, which is terrible. They've figured out all our defenses, and we simply can't defend against them. If we don't find out this traitor, then we will definitely be defeated again and again! β
"This traitor must be at the top of the Tianjie Army, he must be at the top level. We, the generals of the United Military Administration, only know some of the deployment maps, but those guys actually have all the deployment maps, so this guy is definitely a person from our top level. β
When Luo Yi heard this, he immediately rolled his eyes and said; "Since this mole is at the top, then we must also find out this mole as soon as possible. I ordered that all the generals who held the rank of lieutenant general and above be temporarily detained by me, and then handed over to me for examination. β
Luo Yi also hopes that those high-level generals will be arrested and reviewed, so that he can take the opportunity to catch this army in his hands. And as soon as these words came out, many people were shocked, because this time Luo Yi was going to purge the army, what did Luo Yi want to do? So, everyone started to panic too.
And at this time, a very shocking sentence came.
"Luo Yi, I don't think you need to look for a traitor, this traitor should be you, right?" (To be continued......)
