Chapter 344 The Fruit Army
Long Tao slowly glanced at everyone with a solemn face, and said in a deep voice: "I'm not afraid to tell you, taking Chang'an is as easy as finding things for me!" However, this matter involves an extremely important secret of Yan, after you have heard it, you can only give your life to Yan, if someone wants to leave me, in order to keep the secret, Yan will take his life first! You may wish to think about whether or not to listen to this secret. ”
The generals glanced at each other, exchanged glances with each other, and finally all eyes converged on Sima Deji.
Sima Dejiao said angrily: "Brother Yan is definitely not an arrogant person, I believe in you!" ”
After speaking, he came to Long Tao, knelt down on one knee, and said solemnly: "The emperor is above, I, Sima Dejiao, will swear to follow Yankuan to the death in the future, if there are two hearts, the heavens and the earth will be destroyed!" ”
Li Xiaoben and Yin Zhengqing followed and knelt behind Sima Dejiao, and the rest of the generals, including Zhao Xingshu, also followed suit and swore allegiance in front of Long Tao.
"Good! Everyone, please get up! Long Tao laughed and said: "Yan Mou didn't misunderstand you, you are really loyal and brave people who dare to act!" ”
Then he lowered his voice and said solemnly: "Since you can trust me to speak widely, I will naturally not hide anything anymore. Have you ever heard of Yang Gong's treasure house? ”
Yin Zhengqing said: "He's jade, Yang Gong's treasure house, the two get one, and the world can be safe." Who in the world doesn't know this rumor? Could it be that Yan Ye knows the secret of Yang Gong's treasure house? ”
Zhao Xingshu frowned and said: "It is rumored in the rivers and lakes that Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling have the secret of Yang Gong's treasure house, since these two were Yan Ye's subordinates, it would not be surprising if Yan Ye knew the inside story. However, what does this matter have to do with whether we can attack Chang'an? ”
Long Tao didn't answer him immediately, and asked Sima Dejiao, "What does General Sima think of this treasure house?" ”
Sima Dejiao muttered: "I only know that this treasure trove was used by Yang Sujian to rebel back then, and there are not only countless money and treasures in it, but also a large number of weapons and equipment, which is enough for people to arm a powerful army, so there are rumors that those who get the treasure house can win the world." ”
Long Tao shook his head and said: "If you can win the world just by arming an army, then this world is inevitably too easy to get." Yang Su wanted to create Yang Jian's rebellion back then, since this treasure house boasted that it could win the world, it shows that Yang Su only relied on the treasure house back then, and he had the ability to put Yang Jian to death! ”
Everyone was moved, Zhao Xingshu's mind turned very quickly, and he blurted out: "Could it be that the treasure house is in Chang'an, and the treasure house can directly attack the palace?" ”
Long Tao nodded and said with a smile: "I do know the secret of the treasure house, but I didn't get it from Kou Xu and the others. That treasure house is an underground arsenal under Chang'an City, which not only has a tunnel leading directly to the palace, but also a tunnel that leads directly to the outside of the city, which can transport troops into the city without knowing it. ”
Everyone was moved again, if this is the case, the incomparably strong Chang'an City will become an undefended city in front of the treasure house, Long Tao said that he could take them to attack Chang'an, it is not a lie.
Zhao Xingshu asked, "How did Yan Ye know about such detailed treasure house information?" ”
Long Tao said lightly: "I have seen Master Lu Miaozi, the designer of the treasure house, and that's it. ”
Of course, Lu Miaozi never told Long Tao anything about the treasure house, he was just familiar with the original book.
Long Tao continued: "As long as I have the means to open the treasure house, no matter who occupies Chang'an, in the eyes of Yan, it is just for him to stay for a while!" ”
Everyone's eyes lit up, and the secret of Yang Gong's treasure house fed these people the biggest reassurance, so that they no longer had any hesitation about their decision to follow Long Tao.
Sima Dejiao bowed down and said: "Since Brother Yan has decided to compete in the world, he will be our lord from today onwards, how to act next, please ask the lord to command!" ”
The others also stood behind Sima Dejiao and bowed down together to receive the order.
Long Tao asked, "How many percent of the Xiaoguo army can we control now?" ”
Sima Dejiao said proudly: "Although Yu Wenhua and I have taken away the power of the army, many generals in the army are all promoted by me, as long as my subordinates explain the situation to them, I dare to guarantee that 20,000 Xiaoguo will return to my command." ”
"This is very good, tomorrow I will ask General Sima to summon the generals of the Xiaoguo Army at all levels to the tent, and when the Yu Wenshi comes, we will plan again, and take the opportunity to instigate them to throw themselves to us."
The next day, Yu Wenshi and sure enough to take 300 soldiers, pretending to be a safari, came to the Hou Army Sima Dejia's tent, and saw that many generals of all sizes were there, and thought that they could capture all the rebel generals, but they did not know that they had already stepped into the net laid by Long Tao.
More than 300 people, including Yu Wenshi and others, were killed.
When the generals at all levels of the Xiaoguo Army encountered this sudden change and were at a loss, Sima Dejiao took the opportunity to explain to them the benefits and disadvantages, explaining that he was preparing to defect from Yu Wenhua.
The generals have no choice but to have no choice at this point, and they are already dissatisfied with Yu Wenhua and their hearts, and they have expressed their willingness to follow.
At this point, the 20,000 Xiaoguo army quietly returned to Sima Dejiao's hands.
Long Tao immediately arranged for them to retreat immediately and break away from Yu Wenhua's army, because Yu Wenshi's death could not be concealed for too long, once Yu Wenhua and found out that something was wrong, he would definitely lead the army back to check, and then a big war would be inevitable.
The 20,000 Xiaoguo army, plus the 5,000 loyal soldiers selected by Sima Dejiao and Zhao Xingshu from the headquarters, a total of 25,000 people quickly broke away from Yu Wenhua and the army and retreated to the bank of the Tongji Canal.
The warships of the Giant Kun Gang were already waiting there, taking turns to ferry the army to the other side of the canal, and Long Tao personally led 5,000 troops to form a formation against Yu Wenhua's pursuers.
Sure enough, it didn't take long for Yu Wenhua to chase after him with 10,000 light horsemen.
Long Tao led the army to meet the attack, he took the lead, took the lead, where the dragon slayer knife passed, he was invincible, and the chaotic army beheaded Yu Wencheng under the horse!
Zhao Xingshu, Li Xiaoben, Yin Zhengqing and others finally saw his peerless sword skills, and saw that he was well dispatched for the first time, personally trapped, brave and invincible, and had heartfelt respect for him in their hearts, followed him closely, and forgot to kill.
Yu Wenhua and the long war were unfavorable, knowing that the defected army could not be recovered, he collected his troops and retreated, continuing his journey north to his hometown.
On the south bank of the Tongji Canal, Sima Dejiao, Zhao Xingshu and other Xiaoguo generals and the leaders of the Giant Kun Gang Yun Yuzhen and the following were all gathered around Long Tao, and both sides were in high spirits.
The Xiaoguo army was greatly boosted by the grain and grass brought by the Giant Kun Gang, and the people of the Giant Kun Gang were excited that Long Tao had really done what he said and attracted an army of 20,000.
Long Tao waited for everyone's mood to calm down a little, and then said loudly: "Everyone, our plan to withdraw troops has been half successful so far, next, I will personally lead 5,000 soldiers and horses, sneak back to the north bank, and when Yu Wenhua and Li Mi fight, I will rob all the property he got from Yang Guang!" This matter is of great importance to our future development, and there is no room for error, so I will ask General Sima and General Zhao to accompany me. ”
Sima Dejiao and Zhao Xingshu bowed down to receive the order.
Long Tao said: "Most of our grain and grass are still left in the stronghold of Hongze Lake, so I ask General Li and General Yin to lead the remaining Xiaoguo Army to follow the Yun Gang Leader and go to Hongze Lake to settle down temporarily, while Deputy Gang Leader Bu and Chen Gong will lead a flying steamer to go north with me to receive the treasures recovered from Yu Wenhua and that, and after we return to Hongze Lake, we will go south together to find a foothold!" ”
Everyone roared together to accept the promise, and the morale was extremely high.
Long Tao's great cause of hegemony has finally officially begun.
