Chapter 128: Luoyang is frightened
In the Luoyang Imperial Palace,
"The guilty minister is ashamed of his trust in His Royal Highness the King of Yue, and the guilty minister deserves to die!"
Liu Changgong was dressed in blood, kneeling there in embarrassment, and couldn't stop pleading guilty.
"You! ......" Yang Tong was furious in his heart.
With 25,000 elite soldiers, countless grains and grasses, they were defeated in a battle, and Liu Changgong, who had high hopes for the entire Luoyang City, was so incompetent.
"According to the plan, you have to wait until the 11th to unite Pei Renji to attack Wagang in the north and south, you are arrogant and careless, and you send troops privately, it is extremely stupid." Yuan Wen was furious and scolded loudly.
Of the 25,000 soldiers, only 15,000 returned, and 10,000 elite soldiers were lost.
Among the 10,000 elite soldiers who did not come back, one of them had Yuan Wendu's nephew, and the entire Luoyang City thought that Li Mi was just a group of hungry rice thieves, competing to grab military merits, and most of the soldiers in this army were children of the family. I thought that Liu Changgong turned out to be a paper tiger, and it was broken when I poked it.
At present, the entire Luoyang City is crying and mourning, and they can't wait to strangle Liu Changgong to death.
"Damn the sinner!" Liu Changgong kept kowtowing and asking for guilt, he knew that he had caused a big deal this time, and it didn't matter if he lost the battle, but who let these Luoyang soldiers have so many children of the family!
"Bumper!"
The sound of the collision between the forehead and the ground sounded in the hall, Liu Changgong was so hard that the blood on his forehead flowed down one or two times, and the blood on his entire face was vertical and horizontal, with the bloody clothes all over his body, it looked particularly hideous.
"I'm sorry for the people of Luoyang, and I'm sorry for the trust of His Royal Highness King Yue." Liu Changgong is a seven-foot man, above this court, crying bitterly, extremely miserable,
"You're damned! ......" Yang Tong said hatefully.
But seeing Liu Changgong's miserable appearance again, the fifteen-year-old boy couldn't help but feel sympathy.
Duan Da, who was good at observing words and feelings, saw Yang Tong's soft-heartedness, and knew that things had taken a turn for the better, so he stepped forward.
"His Royal Highness King Yue, General Liu has always been loyal and dedicated to the country, please His Royal Highness King Yue look at the past and spare General Liu this time."
"His Royal Highness the King of Qiyue! Victory or defeat is a soldier's business, thousands of troops are easy to get, a general is hard to find, if you deal with the generals because of a small defeat, I am afraid that the army will be unstable! Zhao Changwen, the waiter of the Yellow Gate, whispered to Yang Tong.
Liu Changgong looked at the two of them gratefully, since the defeat, he knew that he had planted it this time, scattered his family wealth, and gave it to Yang Tong's cronies, Duan Da and Zhao Changwen, and now he really received a miraculous effect.
After all, Yang Tong was a fifteen-year-old boy, with soft ears, and he also felt some truth when he heard the persuasion of the two ministers he usually relied on.
The royal intuition made him feel that this time was the perfect time to subdue Liu Changgong, so Yang Tong took the opportunity to say: "Victory and defeat are common things in soldiers, thinking that you are only the first defeat, spare you for the time being, I hope you will wear the crime and make meritorious service in the future, if you lose the battle again, the two crimes will be punished together!." ”
"Thank you, His Royal Highness King Yue!" Liu Changgong was overjoyed, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.
"This level is in the dark." Liu Changgong said secretly in his heart.
Seeing that Yang Yu pardoned Liu Changgong, the other ministers couldn't say anything, after all, Liu Changgong was able to climb to the rank of Tiger Ben Lang General, and he was also quite powerful in Luoyang, and no one wanted to offend him easily.
Besides, such a thing as defeating a battle can be big or small, and no one can guarantee that it will always win and be undefeated in life.
Yang Tong waved his hand, and Liu Changgong retreated as if he had been amnestied.
Seeing the blood stains all over the ground, Yang Tong couldn't help frowning, and immediately a eunuch stepped forward to wipe the ground clean.
"General Huangfu." Yang Tong set his eyes on another tall figure in the main hall.
That is the right Wuwei general Huangfu Wuyi, Hu Tianzhu Huangfu Wuyi is Yang Guang's highest military general left in Luoyang,
Huangfu Wuyi was cautious all his life and did not offend officials, when Liu Changgong pleaded guilty just now, he kept silent until Yang Tong stood up by name.
"Now that the situation in Luoyang is critical, please ask General Huangfu to teach Dong!" Yang Tong stepped down from the throne and came to Huangfu Wuyi and said respectfully.
Before, Huangfu Wuyi wanted to go out in person to exterminate Li Mi, but because of the obstruction of Duan Da and others, he was afraid that he would override the ministers after his meritorious service, so he desperately belittled Li Mi and recommended Liu Changgong.
As a result, Yang Tong listened to the words of Duan Da and others, and appointed Liu Changgong to send troops to exterminate Li Mi.
Now that Liu Changgong has been defeated, Yang Tong has no choice but to rely on Huangfu Wuyi.
"Don't dare!" Huangfu Wuyi repeatedly refused, because Yang Tong privately forgave Liu Changgong's grievances, which had dissipated at this moment.
"Please teach me, General!" Yang Tong said again.
Huangfu Wuyi groaned for a while, frowned, and said: "Wagang has just won a big victory, arrogant, many thieves have defected, and now they occupy Xingluo Cang, and there is no shortage of food. Luoyang City is currently in a weak position, His Royal Highness King Yue must make long-term plans, it will be a protracted battle. ”
Yang Tong nodded, and said helplessly: "It seems that this is the only way." ”
"The top priority today is to recruit soldiers, forge weapons, regroup, and eliminate Li Mi in the coming days, and at the same time get in touch with General Pei Renji, so that he can contain Li Mi and gain time for Luoyang." Huangfu Wuyi offered his own strategy.
"Well, what General Huangfu said is very true." Yang Yu nodded in agreement.
"Great goodness!" Everyone nodded in approval.
"Weichen thinks that Luoyang should unite with Daxing now!" Wei Jin stepped forward and proposed.
"Oh! Wei Shangshu, please speak. Yang Tong's expression moved.
"Now Daxing City is prosperous, prices are cheap, and there are a lot of taxes and taxes, but Luoyang City is the barrier to the east of Daxing City, only Luoyang City is foolproof, and they can Daxing City be safe and worry-free, so Weichen believes that Luoyang exterminates Li Mi, and Daxing City must also make a contribution."
As soon as Wei Jin said this, the ministers of Luoyang nodded again and again.
"Now that His Majesty is far away in Jiangdu, it is really a proper meaning to strengthen cooperation between the eastern capital and Xijing, and I believe that Daxingcheng will not refuse." Duan Da continued.
"Wechen agrees!" The ministers of Luoyang responded one after another.
For the sudden rise of Daxing City, it made them feel a little unhappy, but when they thought of the huge wealth in Daxing City, everyone couldn't help but be moved.
Since his younger brother is rich, it is also the right thing to help his brother, Yang Tong thought with peace of mind.
"Now that Luoyang City is full of injuries, it is better to send these wounded soldiers to Daxing City to recuperate." Huangfu Wuyi's eyes lit up.
"Daxingcheng has abundant manpower, and cotton cloth is cheap, so it is better to order clothes for newly recruited soldiers."
…………
All the ministers are wishful thinking, since they are going to ask for things, of course, it is more appropriate for relatives to go.
As a result, the heavy responsibility of going to Daxing City once again fell on Wei Jin's head.
When Wei Jin hurriedly felt Daxing City, another Hongling messenger also rushed into Daxing City.
The two arrived almost at the same time.
"Luoyang defeated!"
"Ying Yanglang rebelled against Liang Shidu?"
The two pieces of news shook the entire Daxing Palace like thunder.
