Luo Yi originally thought that Yang Yuanqing wanted him to surrender to the Sui Dynasty, but the content of the letter was to invite him to fight Dou Jiande together, you must know that just yesterday, Yang Yuanqing had a fierce battle with his army, and today he is inviting him to fight together in a blink of an eye, this change makes Luo Yi really a little difficult to adapt.

For Luo Yi, there is no difference between Yang Yuanqing and Dou Jiande, one is a fierce tiger and the other is a poisonous snake, both want to seize his inheritance, Luo Yi was silent for a moment and asked: "I don't know when Manager Yang plans to attack?" ”

Shi Rong bowed and said: "Three days later, at the first watch, our two armies launched an attack on Dou Jiande's army at the same time!" ”

"And then?"

Luo Yi glanced at Shi Rong, he was more concerned about what to do after defeating Dou Jiande? It won't be that after defeating Dou Jiande, the two armies will fight again, and he can't stand this ending.

Shi Rong smiled slightly, "After defeating Dou Jiande, General Luo can lead his headquarters to withdraw to Youzhou, and then we will start the war again, just like before." ”

At this time, Luo Cheng next to him finally couldn't help asking: "Do you have to fight to the death, there is no solution acceptable to both parties?" ”

Luo Yi turned around and glared at his son fiercely, and scolded him angrily: "Don't say much!" ”

Shi Rong laughed, "The young general got to the point, this time I was ordered to come, in fact, there are three plans, what I said to General Luo just now is only the first plan, is General Luo willing to listen to the second and third plans of His Royal Highness the King of Chu?" ”

The first plan is written, and Yang Yuanqing wrote it on paper, which should be the positive plan. The so-called two plans in the back are just oral descriptions, obviously just a temptation, Luo Yi said quietly: "Shi joins the army, please continue, Luo is willing to listen." ”

"In fact, General Luo should have guessed that the second plan is to hope that General Luo can return to the Sui Dynasty, General Luo was originally a Sui general, and it is natural to return to the Sui Dynasty. His Royal Highness the King of Chu said that if General Luo returned, he could be crowned the Duke of Xiangyang County. General Wuhou, if General Luo is willing to follow the text, he will be sealed too shou. Govern one side and leave a name for generations. ”

Behind him, Luo Cheng was just about to speak, but the back of Luo Yi's head seemed to have long eyes, and he waved his hand to stop his son's interjection, and he continued to ask quietly: "What about the third plan?" ”

"The third plan is much simpler, General Luo hands over all the troops, and we guarantee that General Luo's family will safely go to Guanzhong through Hedong, and at the same time, General Luo will take two hundred of his own soldiers."

Luo Yi nodded, Yang Yuanqing's conditions were all within his expectations, and he smiled: "Don't talk about the last two conditions in a hurry." I promised the first plan, please tell General Manager Yang, three days later, at the first watch, we will launch an attack on Dou Jiande's army together. ”……

Shi Rong said goodbye and left, and Luo Cheng immediately said to his father anxiously: "Father." Mr. Yang has already set specific conditions, why don't we agree? ”

Luo Yi glanced at his son and said lightly: "What conditions did Yang Yuanqing offer, Xiangyang County Duke, General Wuhou, what is this General Wuhou?" You won't think about it? Now Qin Qiong, Yang Sien, Pei Xingyan and others are just generals. He gave me a big general, probably just to draw a big cake for me, just a false position, when I Luo Yi is a three-year-old child? The Tang Dynasty at least gave me a high-ranking official, but he only gave me a taishou, do you think I will agree? ”

"But didn't my father say that Li Yuan just took a fancy to Youzhou's army and territory, if my father really became the head of the light pole, Li Yuan would turn his face and deny people?"

"I said so, but I forgot one thing at the time, if Li Yuan wants to buy the heart of the world, he must treat me well, do you know the story of buying bones for a thousand dollars? Now I am the pile of useless horse bones, I don't accept the Great Sui Chonglu, and I have traveled thousands of miles to the Tang Dynasty, if Li Yuan does not reuse me, he will lose his trust in the world. ”

Speaking of this, Luo Yi smiled coldly, "I believe Li Yuan won't do this!" ”

Luo Yi took out a book of music from the box he was carrying and handed it to Luo Cheng, "You immediately disguise yourself and go to Chang'an, find a way to give this book to the prince, and then you will wait for me in Chang'an." ”

Luo Cheng almost bit his lip to bleed, he took the song and pleaded again: "Father, think about it again!" The child felt that the Tang Dynasty had no future. ”

Luo Yi patted his son on the shoulder, sighed and said: "My father knows that you were Yang Yuanqing's general, and you are more nostalgic, but you have to look farther, Yang Yuanqing himself was the governor of Youzhou, and I have no use value for him, so he named me the general of Wuhou, which shows that he will only support me, and will never reuse me, on the contrary, Li Yuan also wants to seize Hebei and Youzhou, then he will definitely continue to use me, and the prince has no generals, I go to the prince, I will get a chance....."

Luo Yi pressed his son's shoulder and stared into his eyes, "Opportunity, do you understand my son?" The opportunity to make a comeback for his father can only be obtained in the Tang Dynasty! ”……

Shi Rong returned to the camp of the Sui army, he walked all the way, and soon came to the front of the big tent of the Chinese army, he bowed his hand to a personal soldier and said: "Please report to the commander, just say that Shi Rong is back." ”

"Shi joins the army, please wait!"

The soldiers hurriedly entered, and came out to give a salute after a while: "The chief manager invites Shi to join the army and go in." ”

In the big tent, Yang Yuanqing was sitting on the table to review the recital, which was only sent at noon today, and there were more than 30 copies, all of which had to be signed and approved by him.

Shi Rong hurriedly walked into the big tent, stepped forward and gave a deep salute, "See the chief steward!" ”

Yang Yuanqing was also waiting for his news, so he put down his pen and smiled and asked, "Which plan did he accept?" ”

"Back to the manager, Luo Yi was only willing to accept the first plan, and he didn't express his position on the second and third plans, and he felt that he seemed to think that the conditions offered by the manager were too low."

Yang Yuanqing couldn't help but sneer, if Luo Yi really thought like this, it wouldn't be strange at all, the Tang Dynasty named him the king of Beiping County, and gave him a high position of confession, but he only gave him the position of Xiangyang County Duke and Taishou, of course he didn't do it, but what did he think he was? Surrendering in the current situation, does he still want to continue to be the governor of Youzhou?

Whether he agreed or not was already unbearable, Yang Yuanqing slowly walked to the tent door with his hands behind his back, and looked at the county seat of Zhuoxian County in the distance, the county seat was very quiet, Dou Jiande did not launch an offensive again, there were still three days, and after three days, everything would fall to the dust......

On the official road about twenty miles east of Youzhou City, an army from Yuyang County is marching rapidly, this army is about 3,000 people, it is the Youzhou Army stationed in Yuyang County, the general who led this army is named Dong Xi, about thirty-seven or eighteen years old, tall, with an iron gun, majestic, but there is always an indescribable melancholy in his eyes.

Dong Xi is the confidant of Hou Mo Chenyi, the deputy governor of Youzhou, who has been in the army in Youzhou for thirteen years, and has been promoted from a small brigade commander to the Yuyang overseer step by step, and has a high prestige in the Youzhou army.

Dong Xi received an urgent order from Luo Yi, ordering him to abandon Yuyang County and return to Youzhou City to garrison, and the same people who received the order were Xue Wanjun, the guard general of the military capital, and Wang Pu, the overseer of Anle County.

In this way, the defenders of Youzhou City increased to 25,000 people, which was enough to hold Youzhou City, and Luo Yi was extremely worried that Dou Jiande's army would take advantage of the chaos to seize Youzhou City, and the crisis would be resolved invisibly.

In the distance, Dong Xi saw Youzhou City in the distance, about a dozen miles away, he looked at the sky, it was already afternoon, the soldiers had marched for a night and a morning, and they were still hungry, it was estimated that there would be no problems in Youzhou City, he immediately ordered: "Everyone rest on the spot for an hour!" ”

The soldiers were exhausted, they all found a place to sit down and eat dry food, some people seized the time to sleep for a while, the warm sun shone behind them, and did not feel cold, many soldiers led their horses to a small river not far away to drink, the river surface was only covered with a thin layer of ice, and it broke with a light knock, and the river was soon crowded with people who drank water and washed their faces.

Dong Xi also found a big stone to sit down, and his own soldiers handed him a piece of dough cake sandwiched with dried meat, "General, eat a little!" ”

Dong Xi seemed to be a little worried, he was drinking water and eating dry food, while looking down and thinking about something, the Sui army had already reached Zhuo County, and it should not be long before it was time to kill Youzhou City, Dong Xi sighed lowly, it has been almost thirteen years, and this day has finally arrived.

"General!"

A soldier walked forward quickly, pointed to the distance and said, "Someone is looking for you and saying that there is something urgent!" ”

Dong Xi looked in the direction of the soldier's finger, and saw a man leading a horse standing on the official road a hundred steps away, about thirty years old, dark and thin, but his eyes were very sharp, looking at him from afar.

Dong Xi's heart moved, he immediately stood up, walked towards the man, and when he got closer, he looked at the man and asked, "I am Dong Xi, what are you looking for me?" ”

The man smiled slightly, took out a silver medal of the Sui Internal Guard, and showed it to Dong Xi, "In Xia Luo Shanwen, he is the captain of the Taiyuan Internal Guard, and he has been waiting for the general for a long time on the order of General Manager Yang." ”

Dong Xi was startled, he grabbed the man's arm, walked a few steps west, a little farther away from the army, and asked in a low voice, "Does His Royal Highness the King of Chu have any letter for me?" ”

The man nodded, took out two letters from his arms and handed them to him, Dong Xi took the letters and put them in his arms, and asked him again, "How can I contact you?" ”

"In the northeast of Youzhou City, there is a Hongfeng wine shop, where General Dong can find me."

After speaking, the man arched his hand to him, turned over on the horse, whipped violently, and the horse galloped towards Youzhou City, Dong Xi looked at him and walked away, and there was an unconcealed excitement in his heart, the young master did not forget himself.

The soldiers were still resting on both sides of the official road, but Dong Xi rode to an open field, he turned back to a dozen personal soldiers and said, "You guys are waiting here, I'll go and make it convenient." ”

He turned over and dismounted, walked quickly to a pile of bushes, squatted down, and took out the letters from his arms, there were two of them, one was addressed to him, and the other was addressed to his immediate boss, Hou Mo Chenyi.
