Chapter 10: Civil Strife
In the Tang Army camp, the atmosphere was strangely depressing.
It's been two days, and the 200,000 army is an army preparing to capture Luoyang, and there is no shortage of large-scale siege equipment, but in the past two days, no matter how Qin Shubao and others tried their best to storm Hangu Pass, it was always difficult to break through, but instead lost their troops and lost their generals.
"Hey, give Lao Tzu a little lighter" Cheng Yanjin suddenly gasped and roared at a military doctor behind him, just now, he risked the arrow and wanted to break a gap, but was shot down by Shan Xiongxin's arrow, if it wasn't for the timely rescue, Li Tang, a general, would probably be in a different place.
"Who is this city? After attacking in such a hurry for three days, he was stunned that nothing had changed" Yu Chi Jingde looked at the wound on Cheng Biting Jin's arm and said a little depressed.
"The Blood Wolf Army is the most elite unit under Lu Bu." Qin Shubao said with a somewhat ugly face, he had heard of the name of the Blood Wolf Army before, but he had never seen it, nor had he thought that the Blood Wolf Army was so violent, and no soldier was enough to be a thousand generals in the Li Tang Army, but in the Blood Wolf Army, he was just the most ordinary soldier, and it made people feel cold when they thought about it.
When everyone heard this, they fell silent again, the elite troops, no matter which princes, had them, such as Li Shimin's Xuanjia cavalry, Dugu Valve's Bai Yuwei, Song Valve's Shendao Army, Kou Zhong's Feiyun Cavalry and even the Golden Wolf Soldiers of the Saiwai Turks, but most of them were thousands, and now on Hangu Pass, there are 30,000 people in this kind of elite, which is not a blow.
The 30,000 blood wolf army guarded Xiongguan, but they were stunned with 200,000 troops, and the people present, who were not the world's famous generals, felt aggrieved when they thought about it.
"Bastard, it's all Li Mi's turtle grandson, who has always refused to fight, if it weren't for that, he would have captured Hangu Pass a long time ago" Cheng Yanjin couldn't help but scold angrily.
"Zhijie, shut up, now is the time of common tribulation, we must not shake the heart of the army, let that Lu Bu see the joke" Fang Xuanling frowned.
Cheng Yanjin snorted a little sullenly, but he didn't say any more, but in everyone's hearts, it was inevitable that a seed was planted.
"Newspaper"
A colonel rushed in in a hurry and said in a panic: "Generals, the big thing is not good, Li Mi's general Wang Bodang led the troops to make trouble, threatening to rob the grain and grass. ”
"What?" Cheng Yanjin roared angrily, stood up, and said angrily: "It's against him, take my tomahawk"
Fang Xuanling and the others also glanced at each other, and they all felt that something was wrong, now the Tang army seems to be strong, with 200,000 people, but they understand that there are many crises among them, and there are two factions, one is the Tang army elders of Qin Shubao, and the other faction is Li Mi and his army, which belongs to the surrender army.
It stands to reason that since Qin Shubao is the main lineage, Li Mi as a general, and a new investment, he should naturally obey, but now the situation is a little wrong, the Tang army led by Qin Shubao, after two days of consumption, there are less than 20,000 left, and Li Mi's hands are firmly grasping the 150,000 army.
"The lord is weak and the minister is strong, it has been a taboo since ancient times, if Li Mi is willing to obediently hand over the military power, it will naturally be fine, but the concubine has followed Li Mi for many years, and he knows this person's human nature, it is absolutely impossible for him to hand over the military power." Hangu closed, and Shen Luoyan lay comfortably in Lu Bu's arms, chuckling.
"Then you say, what will Li Mi do?" Lu Bu asked with a smile.
"With the concubine's understanding of Li Mi, he will put the key to victory and defeat, plugging in this last day, the worry of grain and grass, if used properly, but it can play a role in boosting morale at this most critical moment, although it is only one day, but under the coercion of the danger of grain and grass, it can stimulate huge potential, especially they also know that there is a large amount of grain and grass in Hangu Pass, when the time comes, it will be the real soldier with his life, Li Mi is also a generation of heroes, if you talk about leading troops to fight, it is not much worse than Li Shimin or Wang Ye." Shen Luoyan said with a smile.
The shortage of grain and grass is like a double-edged sword, especially at the last moment, if someone who is good at using soldiers and is good at figuring out the heart of the army can command the army, it can definitely have the effect of breaking the cauldron and sinking the boat, Li Mi, Li Shimin, and Lu Bu are all people who can do this in the world, and it is difficult for other first-class generals such as Luo Cheng and Qin Shubao to do this.
"Then isn't our army dangerous?" Lu Bu said, but there was no trace of nervousness on his face, he had confidence in Shen Luoyan, and he also had confidence in the Blood Wolf Army that he had trained with his own hands, and he had absolute confidence in himself, even Li Mi could not shake his confidence.
"Duplicity." Disgusted, he glanced at Lu Bu, and Shen Luoyan said quietly: "Mi Gong is also a hero, but it's a pity that he is too ambitious and good at being a general, but he doesn't know how to be a minister." ”
Lu Bu nodded, indeed, Li Mi and Li Shimin both belong to the kind of ambition that is unwilling to be ordinary and unwilling to be subordinate.
"If he is a master, he is a good lord, but if he is a minister, he is sharp, I am afraid it is difficult to control, and no one is willing to control such a heroic figure." Shen Luoyan said softly.
"Moreover, he is proud, a master, and can still be courteous to others and communicate with others, but if he is a minister, he disdains to communicate with his peers, so this plan will definitely not tell Li Valve's generals, but choose to break the pass alone and enjoy the success of this breakthrough." Shen Luoyan chuckled: "This is also doomed, he will not succeed." ”
"How?" Lu Bu's hand unconsciously covered Shen Luoyan's increasingly tall chest, and he wondered when he heard this.
"It's very simple, Qin Shubao, Cheng Yanjin and others are already at odds with Li Mi, and according to my observation, in the past two days, the people who attacked Hangu Pass have always been the people of the Tang Army Headquarters, and the people without Li Mi will naturally deepen this contradiction, especially Cheng Yanjin, who is a real man, I can almost imagine what he will do." Shen Luoyan seemed to have thought of something funny, and a touching smile flashed on her beautiful face.
Under the Hangu Pass, in the camp of the Tang Army.
"General Li, what's going on? Please explain clearly" Qin Shubao looked at Li Mi with cold eyes and said coldly.
"Since it belongs to the robe, why do you want to deduct the grain and grass of our army?" Wang Bodang roared angrily: "You are human, aren't my sons and daughters of the three armies human?" What did Li Shimin tell us at the beginning? ”
"Bold, dare to call the name of King Qin" Yu Chi Jingde was stunned and said angrily.
"Joke, Li Shimin himself did not keep his promise, but now he still wants us to be loyal to him, the world, how can there be such a reason? Let me tell you, even Tang Emperor Li Yuan, when he saw my father-in-law, he also had to give three points, and Li Shimin dared to be treacherous? Wang Bodang said angrily.
"Mi Gong, don't be impatient, what's going on?" Fang Xuanling hurriedly grabbed the people who were still scolding, and turned his head to look at Li Mi.
"Since Li Mi agreed to surrender to the Tang Dynasty, he naturally will not regret it, but your army has deducted our army's food and salary for no reason, which is related to the life of our army's sons, but Li Mi can't agree." Li Mi looked at Fang Xuanling, and his voice was a little low.
"What's going on? Biting the gold, you are responsible for putting the grain and grass, can you deduct the salary? Fang Xuanling's heart sank, and he looked back at Cheng Biting Jindao.
"Hmph, now that there is a shortage of food and grass, it has always been our soldiers who are fighting with their lives, since he claims to have surrendered to the Tang Dynasty, why is he reluctant to fight, just watching our soldiers fighting on the front line?" Cheng Yanjin snorted coldly.
"It's a felony for a bastard to withhold food and salary, who let you deduct food and grass indiscriminately" Fang Xuanling's face turned dark and said angrily.
The soldiers on Li Mi's side, looking at Cheng Biting Jin's gaze gradually became unkind, Cheng Biting Jin is a rectum, he doesn't know how to hide it, and Li Mi has a mustard, facing the Wagang surrender army, naturally he will not have a good face to look at, even with him, his soldiers are also full of arrogance in front of the Wagang surrender army in the past two days, and the contradictions between the two sides have been secretly intensified.
"What to see, what to see?" Cheng bit the golden bull's eyes and glared, looked at the soldiers, and said angrily: "Believe it or not, Lao Tzu killed you with an axe?" ”
"How dare you talk more?" Fang Xuanling roared angrily, and he couldn't care about the elegance of any literati at this moment.
"Huh"
Almost the moment Fang Xuanling roared, a sharp arrow passed through the crowd and went straight into the throat of a Wagang army general.
"Uh" The general's eyes widened, his hands on his neck, blood spilling from between his fingers, and with a touch of unwillingness in his eyes, he fell to the ground with a pop, and his feet were still twitching.
"Looking for death" Wang Bodang's face turned cold, and he instantly took off his bow and arrows.
"Bodang, stop" Li Mi hurriedly put it on Wang Bodang's hand, signaling him to be restless.
"Huh"
Another arrow shot out of the Wagang army, pierced the chest of a Li Tang general, and shot directly through the heart and lungs, nailing the Li Tang general to the ground.
"Turtle Son" Cheng Biting Jin roared angrily, and an axe slashed down, splitting a Wagang general into two, Cheng Biting Jin's axe was like a fuse, and the two sides, who already had a strong smell of gunpowder, could no longer restrain themselves, and greeted each other with weapons.
"Kill"
The shouting and killing sound filled the entire military camp, and the soldiers on both sides finally got into a scuffle, rushing towards each other frantically, no matter how Li Mi, Fang Xuanling and others stopped it, it was to no avail.
"Stop, stop" Fang Xuanling roared anxiously, trying to stop the fight between the two sides.
"Puff puff"
At the same time, there were four or five spears, which penetrated Fang Xuanling's chest, and the chaos was so sudden that Qin Shubao and the others were also a little caught off guard, and they didn't have time to take care of Fang Xuanling.
Fang Xuanling's eyes widened, and a familiar face appeared in front of him with a hideous smile, it was a general under Lu Bu who came to surrender yesterday, and he didn't know when he mixed into the army.
In an instant, Fang Xuanling figured out a lot of things, these people didn't come to surrender yesterday at all, their purpose was to provoke a fight between the two sides.
The world swirled, a large amount of blood gushed out of his body, and the excessive bloodlust made him unable to think anymore.
"Ho ho" made a series of unpitched voices in vain, trying to stop the melee between the two sides, but at this time, even if Li Shimin was there in person, I am afraid it would be difficult to stop this scuffle.
Li Tang ...... It's over" When he was dying, a thought flashed through Fang Xuanling's mind.
The roar of anger reached Hangu Pass from afar, smelling the faint smell of blood coming from the air, a smile appeared on the corner of Lu Bu's mouth, Shen Luoyan's plan was really successful at this moment.
"Lord Wang, now is not the time to be happy, the concubine has already notified General Luo Cheng and asked Lord Wang Xun to bring people to calm down the chaos and surrender the Wagang army in one fell swoop." Shen Luoyan said in a deep voice.
"Hmm" Lu Bu nodded vigorously, turned around and said, "Sons, prepare to fight"
"Roar"
