Chapter Sixty-Nine: Murderous Opportunities

Li Wuji was the king of Qi after all, and although he was furious in his heart, the status of the prince made him restrain his anger and did not show it directly.

"I know about this, you don't have to tell him the real number, try to delay it as much as possible, and if you can't delay it, you can triple it for him, understand?"

"Wechen understands."

"Stand down!"

"Yes!"

Wang Jianxing saluted, and slowly retired, leaving Li Wuji alone in the room, pondering for a moment, he ordered the soldiers outside the door, "Find Mr. Qian!" ”

This so-called 'Mr. Qian' is Li Wuji's staff 'named Qian Rong, a native of Shu County, resourceful, and deeply trusted by Li Wuji, not long after, Qian Rong appeared at the door of the room, bowed down and said, "Is Your Highness looking for me?" ”

"Come in and say!"

Qian Rong was short and withered, and a pair of triangular eyes flashed with a cunning light from time to time, and he walked into the room quickly, standing with his hands down, waiting for Li Wuji's lecture.

Li Wuji groaned and said: "Just now, Cangcao participated in the military Wang Jian came to me and said that Luo Yi called him and asked him to provide a lot of important military information, such as food, armor, etc., I doubt what Luo Yi wants these things to do, is he already surrendered to the Sui army?" You say, if so, what should I do? ”

The reason why Qian Rong won Li Wuji's trust was because he had penetrated Li Wuji's xingzi and knew what to say and what not to say, he knew very well that Li Wuji was stubborn and self-serving, since he said so, it was not a suspicion, but it was determined that Luo Yi surrendered to the Sui army.

"But Your Highness, Luo Yi's eldest son is on duty in the East Palace, if he surrenders to the Sui army, isn't he afraid of endangering his son's life?"

"Humph! He only cares about his own future, his son is not important to him, it is a big deal to marry a wife and have children in the future. ”

Li Wuji didn't think that his son would become an obstacle to Luo Yi's surrender, he sneered and continued: "This person was robbed of military power by me, and he must hold a grudge, but he can't fight me, so as long as the Sui army is wooed, he will inevitably surrender to the Sui army, in fact, my father also doubted his loyalty, so he ordered me to seize the military power in Hanzhong, I am worried that once I am indecisive, I will die in the hands of this person." ”

After Li Wuji finished speaking, his teeth clenched, and the murderous intent burst out in his eyes, Qian Rong was shocked in his heart, he knew that Li Wuji was going to take the opportunity to kill someone, and he didn't dare to object anymore, so he said: "I don't object to His Highness killing Luo Yi, but if it is not handled properly, I am afraid that he will be victimized by it, you must know that not all generals are His Royal Highness's people." ”

Li Wuji nodded, these words reached his heart, he was worried that Luo Yi would harm him, he took two steps behind his back, and said viciously: "I want to immediately send troops to surround his mansion and slaughter him!" ”

"No!"

Qian Rong hurriedly stopped Li Wuji's impulse, "Your Highness, Luo Yi's mansion is very close to the Northern Military Camp, many generals in the Northern Military Camp are still his people, and there are three hundred personal soldiers in his mansion, once he can't kill him in a hurry, summoning the troops of the Northern Military Camp is not good for His Highness, and you can't kill people in his mansion." ”

Li Wuche held back the anxiety in his heart and asked again: "Then you say, how should I kill this thief?" ”

Qian Rong Yinyin smiled, "Your Highness, it is estimated that the Sui army will appear outside the city early tomorrow morning, and His Highness will transfer the soldiers of the northern military camp to defend the city, at this time, His Royal Highness can let Luo Yi come to the military office to discuss the military situation, Luo Yi will not doubt that as long as he enters the military office, then his little life will not be pinched in the hands of His Highness?" ”

Li Wuji was overjoyed, this was a good way, the excuse was sufficient, Luo Yi would not doubt it, he immediately nodded, "That's it!" ”

……

Early the next morning, when the morning sun shone outside Nanzheng City, an army of more than 30,000 people appeared in the wilderness east of Nanzheng City, the armor was neat, the military appearance was mighty, the flags were overwhelming, and the momentum was huge, this was the Sui army to kill, and the defenders at the head of Nanzheng City suddenly panicked, and kept ringing the Jing bell, 'Dang! While! While! The bells rang throughout the city.

Li Wuji, the king of Qi, immediately ordered that the two large battalions in the north and south, totaling 15,000 troops, all went to the city for defense, and the city was in chaos.

Two miles away from the city, Xu Shiji led dozens of generals to immediately on a hill, looking at Nanzheng City not far away, this city is the political and economic center of Hanzhong, the city is tall and strong, and the Han River tributaries are used as moats, surrounding the city, if it is Luo Yi who can fight well to defend this city, it is indeed not easy to capture it, but now the person who holds the military power is not Luo Yi.

Xu Shiji turned around and ordered: "Bring Captain Wang!" ”

Wang Xiaowei is Wang Ji, who entered the city as a messenger, he got Luo Yi's arrangement in the middle of the night last night, and went out of the city to report the news, of course, it was to report Luo Yi's message, but Wang Ji also reported the situation in the city to Xu Shiji, so that Xu Shiji had a bottom in his heart.

In a moment, Wang Ji was led over by the soldiers, and he stood in front of the horse and bowed to give a salute, "See the chief manager!" ”

Xu Shiji smiled gently: "Captain Wang worked hard last night, I just want to ask Brother Ling again." ”

"The chief asks, and he knows everything."

Xu Shiji nodded, "I want to know, after Brother Ling went to find King Qi last night, I heard that King Qi didn't move, and then Brother Ling has any other plans?" ”

Wang Ji bowed down and said: "Listen to my brother's meaning, King Qi was very angry last night, but he restrained himself and didn't have a seizure, he said, maybe it's because King Qi didn't have all the military power, it's still a little taboo, but King Qi originally wanted to kill Luo Yi, but he couldn't find an excuse, and he wouldn't be merciful this time." ”

Xu Shiji pondered for a moment, he must create conditions, since he can't oppress the city too much, but he can't be too loose...... "It must be between being able to collect and release, which is the most delicate situation, which is enough to trigger infighting in the city."

Thinking of this, Xu Shiji ordered: "Retreat to eight miles away and set up a big camp!" ”

The order was given, and the Sui army slowly retreated, until it was eight miles away from the city, and began to set up camp, which was an extremely delicate distance from the city, which was not only in the field of vision of the soldiers defending the city, maintaining sufficient deterrence, but also outside the range of the attack, so that the soldiers defending the city were a little at ease.

Luo Yi is still in his own mansion, although he also heard that the Sui army is coming to the city, but he doesn't want to ask, since the military power has been handed over to Li Wuji, if he asks too much, he will inevitably be tabooed by the king of Qi, causing the king of Qi to kill him, staying in the mansion, and keeping silent is the best plan.

But Lin Yu was quiet and the wind did not stop, and when it was almost noon, Li Wuji, the king of Qi, sent a henchman.

"Report to the governor, His Royal Highness the King of Qi asks the governor to go and discuss the military situation."

Luo Yi nodded, and did not doubt it, he knew that the Sui army was coming to the city, which would inevitably make the King of Qi panic, that number one gentleman in the world, hunting, playing with women, he was an expert, but he could command the army to defend the city, he was a fart!

Luo Yi's heart was full of contempt, which also made him feel complacent, so he said, "I'll clean up a little and go immediately!" ”

"Humble here, go and report to the king of Qi."

The messenger took the first step, Luo Yi changed his armor, turned over his horse, and prepared to leave the house with his three hundred personal soldiers, at this time, his son Luo Xin ran up and said: "The child also goes with his father." ”

Luo Yi thought about it, and now that the situation in the city was chaotic, his son was relieved to follow him, so he nodded and agreed, "Okay!" You will follow as a Father. ”

The group left the mansion and headed towards the county office, the mansion where Luo Yi lived was not far or close to the county office, about four or five miles away, just halfway through, when a person rushed out of an alley, "Chief, please stay!" ”

Luo Yi recognized that it was Cang Cao and participated in the military Wang Jian, and immediately reined in the war horse, could it be that the Sui army had any news for him?

Wang Jian panted and rushed forward, and said in a low voice: "Chief, don't go to see King Qi." ”

"Why?" Luo Yi frowned and asked puzzled.

Wang Jian lowered his voice, "Early this morning, King Qi summoned me to ask about the situation of grain, grass and armor, in the county government, I saw a lot of sword and axe hands gathering, chief, be careful!" ”

Wang Jian's words surprised Luo Yi, and he had doubts in his heart, of course he knew that since Wang Jian was a member of the Sui army, he would not lie to himself at this time, the sword and axe man must be true, but what did the king of Qi do when he summoned the sword and axe man, was it to kill himself?

At this time, Wang Jiantu, one of King Qi's henchmen, rushed to this side, and he hurriedly said: "Chief, that's all you say, please take care!" He turned and hurried away.

After a moment, King Qi's guards rushed forward and said with a smile: "The military situation is urgent, Your Highness asks Chief Manager Luo to go and discuss it quickly." ”

If there was no urging from King Qi's guards, Luo Yi might just be puzzled, but the urging of King Qi's guards was like a snake, so that Luo Yi immediately understood in his heart that King Qi must be using the excuse of discussing the military situation to kill himself, he hated it in his heart, but said with a smile on his face: "I forgot to bring an important item, go back and get it first, please tell His Royal Highness King Qi, I will come immediately." ”

He turned his horse's head and left, and the guards of King Qi were in a hurry, "Chief Luo can let his own soldiers fetch it, His Highness is waiting anxiously!" ”

At this time, Luo Yi's heart was frightened, where was he willing to listen to his words, urged the horse to leave, and said without looking back: "I am very hidden, only I know, please tell His Royal Highness King Qi, I will be there immediately."

He urged the horse to run to the mansion, the guards of the king of Qi were also anxious, turned the horse's head and ran back to report, Luo Yi turned around and saw him galloping away, his heart was sure, and he hurriedly said to his son Luo Xin: "You quickly go to Dongcheng to find General Zhao Rong, and say that the king of Qi wants to kill me, please come to the north gate to help me." ”

Luo Xin turned the horse's head and ran towards Dongcheng, Luo Yi didn't dare to go home, and went directly to Beicheng, Wu Feng, the guard of the North City Gate, was Luo Yi's personal soldier, and Li Wuji, the king of Qi, had no time to replace him, at this time, Luo Yi was already cornered, he didn't want to die, so he could only fight with Li Wuji to break the net.

In the county mansion, Li Wuji, the king of Qi, was fully armored, holding a horse lance, sitting on the lobby and waiting, in the front and back of the lobby, five thousand knives and axes were deployed, as long as Luo Yi walked into the lobby, he would inevitably be cut into meat puree.

Li Wuji waited for Luo Yi not to come for a long time, and he was really a little anxious in his heart, and at this moment, the guards he sent to urge Luo Yi rushed back and reported loudly: "Your Highness! Luo Yi turned around and went back halfway. ”

"What!"

Li Wuji stood up suddenly, and his heart was furious.
