The End of the Sui Dynasty

The day was getting brighter, and the tragic night was finally over. The June sun has risen, and although it is still only the morning sun, it can already make people feel the scorching heat.

However, at this time, the military capital was closed, and what made people feel more hot than this blazing sun was the 100,000 horses under the gate.

Luo Wu had already returned from Guanxia for a while, and there was less than a quarter of an hour left before the Liaodong Army. Everyone in the city understands that when half an hour arrives, the Liaodong Army will definitely not read any friendship in the imperial court, and when the war is going on, there is no need to fight, just the crossbows and catapults that have been lined up below have already made all the defenders in the city dry.

Among the towers on the city, this place has been separated by Luo Wei with dozens of guards, without the order of the major general Luo Cheng, no one can approach, and no one can overhear the discussion between the two generals.

Luo Wu's face was full of worry, and he frowned, "Major General, the last general has been observing for a long time, and the city is indeed led by Liaodong Chen Pojun." There were indeed thousands of Turkic captives in the army, among whom Shibi Khan and other generals had also met them one by one, and they had briefly interrogated a few words, all of which were not wrong. ”

"Uncle Wu means that Chen Pojun is indeed just borrowing?" "I'm afraid not necessarily!" Luo Wu shook his head, although there was indeed no flaw in the words of Chen Pojun conveyed by General Xue Dingguo earlier, but in fact, there was one thing that could not be ignored.

Luo Cheng calmly said "Wu"

"We were attacked by the Liaodong Army first." Luo Wu said firmly, "Yesterday we were outside the north entrance, but there were three hundred men and horses, and the armor on the body was marked.

It is impossible for those scouts of the Liaodong Army not to know our identity, but as soon as they see us, they will take the initiative to attack. We fled back to the pass with our front feet, and Wang Rengong led 20,000 horses to kill. If you don't agree with each other, you will storm my north entrance. Major General, all this is true, it goes without saying. Luo Cheng sipped his chún, 1 his heart was extremely chaotic. Of course, he remembered that as soon as he went to the north, Chen Kefu arrived with tens of thousands of troops. If it is really as Chen Pojun said in the pass, he is just to pass the pass by the way, then directly this identity is clear, take out the emperor's edict, how could they not let them pass.

"Major General, in my guess, it may be true that Chen Pojun is going to Hedong, or it can be true." "They raided Beikou before, they must have wanted to raid and seize Beikou, or even directly seize the military capital pass, and then enter Hebei. In doing so, we must be worried that they will reveal their identities outside the customs and take out the edict, and we will not let him pass the customs by the way. That's why they will attack first, and if they can't attack, they will say that they want to borrow the way, even if they borrow the way, it is just a fake way to destroy the way. That Chen Pojun had already rebelled against the imperial court, embraced the land of Liaodong, and held hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses. How could such a person be willing to accept the court's appeasement, His Majesty appeased them before, but he only saw that Linyu Pass was tight. It is planned to make a delaying tactic and temporarily come up with many conditions to allow the Liaodong Army to postpone the attack on Hebei. ”

"And what a cunning person Chen Kefu is, how can he not see such a simple plan to delay the army? Once the imperial court relieved the siege of Yanmen and pacified the Turks, it would definitely immediately go to quell the rebellion in Liaodong.

Therefore, Chen Pojun is just calculating. There is a large army stationed in Linyu Pass, which is difficult to take, so it will quietly appear here. The plan is just to take advantage of the weakness of the military capital pass at this time, and plan to enter Hebei from here, or even attack Linyu Pass from behind. ”

Luo Wu said the guesses in his heart one by one, and Luo Cheng was deeply impressed by Luo Wu's judgments. But what if you know this, as Chen Pojun said, after half an hour, whether they agree or not, the Liaodong Army will be in the nose. With these 3,000 people, there is no way to stop it.

"Uncle Wu, what do you say we should do now? That Chen Pojun was as cunning as a fox, and it was impossible to deceive him. If we can't delay for a day or two, we won't be able to hold the Jundu Pass at all. After pondering for a while, Luo Wu suddenly said, "We will do what Chen Pojun said, and open the city for them to pass." Luo Cheng was extremely surprised, and his white face was also a little angry, "Uncle Wu, you won't be confused, right?" As soon as Chen Pojun entered the customs, it was Hebei of Yimaping 11. 100,000 Liaodong rebels entered Hebei, not only the army garrisoned by the Luo family could not be safeguarded, but even the Linyu Pass defended by my father and the generals would not be guarded, and dozens of counties in Hebei would fall into the hands of bandits. Even if I die in battle, I won't surrender the rebels. "Major General, this is a bad statement. In the current situation, it is useless to defend the military capital. …,

It's better to drop the thief for the time being, and then make a plan. It is best to inform the head of the family and the other generals of the situation in Linyu Pass immediately, so that they can take precautions as soon as possible. In addition, the counties of Hebei were notified and asked to gather their troops and horses as much as possible and assemble in Zhuo County. In this way, even if the rebels enter Hebei, it will be impossible for them to take Hebei for a while. When the time comes, when the head of the family and the generals come back, they will definitely be able to put down the rebels in one fell swoop. ”

Although Luo Cheng felt that Duowu's words were reasonable, his face was still red, "But that Chen Pojun thief, not only wants us to open and close the door, but also wants the general to go out of the city to reward the rebels, and also kowtow to him to admit his mistakes, toast and apologize, how can you accept such an insult?" ”

"The eldest husband can be bent or promoted, in the past, Han Xin had the humiliation of stepping down first, and then there will be the day of the king. A small setback is nothing. Compared to the situation in Hebei, you should be able to bear this little insult. Listen to Uncle Wu's advice, you must think twice before acting, and you must not come by xìngzi. Remember, the head of the family is still in Linyu, and the housemother is still in Zhuojun? At this time, forcibly confronting that Chen Pojun, how can it be half a benefit? It is best to endure for a while. ”

Luo Cheng stood there for a while, green and red, and couldn't agree for a long time.

Seeing that half an hour was about to arrive, Luo Wei, who had been paying attention to the situation under the city, saw that the rows of catapults under the pass were already loading stones, so he was so shocked that he hurriedly ran over and said loudly, "Major General, the catapults under the city are already loading stone bullets, and they are going to attack!" ”

Facing the eyes that were staring at him, feeling the waiting and anticipation, Luo Cheng sighed in his mouth and stomped hard. In his anger, his voice became a little shrill and said, "Okay, General Ben promised Uncle Wu that it would be." General Chuan Ben ordered, open the city gates! ”

Luo Wu glanced at Luo Cheng with some relief, and said in his heart, this general of light, who had always been a good person, finally agreed. In addition to being happy, he hurriedly pulled Luo Wei and asked him to send dozens of his most reliable personal guards to Linyu and Hebei counties to deliver a message, and tell them the results of the previous discussion with Luo Cheng, so that they could prepare early.

As soon as half an hour arrived, the Liaodong Army under the pass was ready to attack. The catapults were all loaded, the crossbows were wound, and the rows of archers were all lined up, raising their bows one by one.

As long as Chen Kefu waved his hand and gave an order, the 3,000 defenders on the slope would be wiped out.

Everyone looked at the city quietly, and the five uncles and nephews of the Xue family were also nervous.

They have always liked this Luo family kid, and they don't want to see him die here at such a young age today.

Chen Pojun's hands were slowly thrown in a pair of eyes, and the heralds lined up behind him waved the flags in their hands and played the prepared flags. The silent herald sounded in front of the battle: "Ready!" ”

"Ready"

"Ready"

"Ready"

In the midst of these countless preparations, there was a loud noise from the gate of the military capital, and the huge gate of the iron-clad city finally opened slowly. At this time, the suspended bridge was finally slowly lowered in the roll of the noose.

"Bang!"

The wide suspension bridge smashed to the ground, connecting the inside and outside of the gate, which was separated by a deep moike. At this time, the huge iron door finally opened completely with a creaking sound.

Chen Kefu's originally raised hand also smiled and went back.

In the midst of his attention, a team of people and horses came out of the city, and the first one rode in white, white armor and white horses. The general took the lead and quickly came to the front of the formation with a hundred horses behind him.

At the signal of Chen Lei and the marshal's guards, the team of men and horses in the city handed over the weapons in their hands to those shì guards, turned over and dismounted.

When the white-clad young general gradually approached, Xue Dingguo beside him smiled and said, "Dashuai, this is the youngest son of the Luo family, the jade-faced Langjun Luo Cheng." How's that, you're handsome, right? ”

When Chen Kefu knew that the guard of the military capital was Luo Cheng, the son of Luo Yi, he was very yearning for this Luo Cheng who was once very fond of the wild history. Although I don't understand why Luo Cheng, who has a great reputation in the wild history but can't find this person in the official history, appeared in this world, Chen Kefu is still very much looking forward to seeing each other for the first time.

Looking at Luo Cheng, who came closer, Chen Kefu suddenly felt as if he was looking at his young self.

It's just that after a little comparison in my heart, I feel that compared to the young self in my heart, the beautiful young man in front of me is generally handsome. But looking closely, Luo Cheng seems to be more showy, and even exaggerated, this Luo Cheng seems to be more like a woman.

The slender and slender body, the fair face, even the bright eyes, and the heroic eyebrows, all reveal the feeling of a beautiful boy. Especially at this time, Luo Cheng is just eighteen years old, his face is white and beardless, if he changes into a woman's outfit and gets some rouge, Chen Kefu believes that it is absolutely difficult to distinguish between male and female. Looking at it, Chen Kefu was a little caught in it, and when he felt the murderous aura in the bright eyes of the beautiful boy opposite, Chen Kefu suddenly felt a little out of shape. sighed in his heart, although he didn't say that he had countless women, but now he was also a man with several wives and concubines, how could he suddenly lose his temper with a man...
