Chapter 53: The Clouds Rise and the Dragon (II)
The hot blood snaked down the fingers, bright and dazzling. Waving away the hands of the guards, Liu Yuxin pointed to the ethereal figure in white under the firelight and shouted, "Li Yan, you despicable villain who hurts people with dark arrows!" I don't dare to fight with this general, but I will only do such dirty things behind my back, what kind of hero is it! ”
Liu Yuxin's accusation is also reasonable, people at this time act in favor of the word 'Leiluo', and anyone who makes a sneak attack without any surprise. will become the object of criticism and writing by others. It's a pity that he is a Li Yan who never puts the code of ethics in his eyes, he is cold and unruly by nature, and when he was young, he worshiped under the old man Qingxi who was deviant and perverse, so he forged the free and arrogant arrogance that he must not judge according to the common sense of the world in this life.
Throwing the strong bow bent by Shicai back behind him, Li Yan took out Fang Jinpa's palm from his sleeve cage and wiped his palm, his attitude was contemptuous and arrogant, without a trace of guilt at all, "The confrontation between the two armies is the result of your life and death, what kind of heroes are you talking about?" All I know is that by killing you can end the war early, and you won't have to worry a lot more unnecessarily! If you want to die, you will die, and if you don't die, I will make up a few more swords for you, such verbosity is really annoying! ”
It's obviously far-fetched rhetoric, and it's obviously ridiculous, but from Li Yan's mouth, it's righteous and logical, and what's even more annoying is that after thinking about it, he can't find a flaw at all. Liu Yuxin, who was already suffering heavy losses, how could he still withstand such a stab? I only felt that the blood and qi around my body were surging, and a mouthful of blood spurted out of my mouth, causing the officers and soldiers of Dayu to be terrified again.
However, in the end, he was born in the door, he knew how to judge the situation and understand the benefits and losses, covered his chest and pressed the fishy sweet taste in his throat, Liu Yuxin gritted his teeth and shouted left and right, "It will be fine, you will be flustered!" According to the plan, we will fight to the death against the gang of traitors in Rongnan here. Rather for broken jade, not for the tile! If it's a man, fight with me! ”
His words were loud and sonorous, and they immediately boosted the hearts and morale of the people who had been discouraged. The soldiers on the city tower all shouted together: "Swear to fight with Rongnan to the end!" Rather for broken jade, not for the tile! ”
The huge sound wave was wave after wave, and within a short time, the entire Yaping County was echoing with a cry of determination. And the horn of the assembly was also urging all the soldiers in the city to flock to the east gate, Xiao Yue couldn't help but secretly think when she saw this: Liu Yuxin is also a character, not only can he be in danger but also able to regroup when he is at a disadvantage, and lead everyone to unite to resist the enemy, he should have been able to make a name for himself in this troubled era, but it is a pity that he was born at the wrong time, but he met such a demon as his master, which is sad and lamentable......
And just when he was in a trance, the officers and soldiers of Da Yu were rushing to the east gate like a tide with the loud horn, seeing that the bloody battle between Da Yu and Rong Nan Ming's sword and real halberd was imminent, but Li Yan, who was the leader of the party, seemed to be completely ignorant of the so-called 'million elite soldiers' hidden in the thick haze was actually only 8,000 soldiers, and seemed to have completely forgotten that the enemy was an elite with 30,000 horses, and he was just a trick to hide people's eyes......
Because he is so calm, so graceful! The tall figure standing on horseback, Zhilan Yushu, looked noble and pleasant in the flickering firelight, as if this was not a battlefield where the bloody corpses were about to be scattered, but just a place to play unintentionally, and there was no trace of panic and fear in his expression. In the night, there is a man and a horse, the white clothes are as white as snow and dirt, which is obviously picturesque, but it reveals a lingering weird solemnity......
And Liu Yuxin asked his subordinates to treat the wounds, while looking at Li Yan's reaction, the more he looked at it, the more he felt worried, and the more he looked at it, the more he felt oppressive...... He didn't understand, he didn't understand, and he couldn't guess why Li Yan was able to watch him gather all the horses to fight with him, and he could be so calm and calm? Yi Liyan's personality definitely does not have the passivity of sitting still, nor does he have the urge to treat death as the rule, he always likes to mock the stupidity of the world with the indifference of outsiders......
Stupidity!? Suddenly, the pupils that were as deep as the night shone brightly, and Liu Yuxin waved away the servant who was bandaging, and roared in a low voice, "Could it be ...... Don't...... Did he already expect that I would fight him to the death at the east gate, and set up an ambush waiting for us to fall into the trap and destroy the whole army?! ”
Yes, it must be! He must be doing the right thing! It is rumored that when the old man Qingxi was fighting on the battlefield when he was young, he acted unbelievably and unexpectedly, so how could Li Yan, who was his proud disciple, be willing to fight a boring bloody battle with him in a dull way? Extrapolating from the fact that this ruthless son of the world can plot unscrupulously in public, presumably the next thing should be an unguardable poisonous trick!
If a gentleman does not stand under the dangerous wall, he knows that there is danger and does not avoid it, isn't he a fool who is not enlightened? When a husband walks in the world, he should be able to bend and stretch, how can he be brave for a while? Gave his life in vain? Thinking of this, Liu Yuxin didn't hesitate any longer, stood up suddenly, and ordered the guards in a deep voice, "Pass the order, give up the east gate and choose the remaining three gates to break through the city!" Li Yan must have come prepared this time, and must not clash head-on with it, we should save our strength, and wait for him to take the life of that dog in the future, so as to comfort today's humiliation! ”
Fleeing without a fight may be extremely disgraceful, but in the face of the calm and unhurried prince of Jin, and in the face of the Rongnan soldiers who look as many as the stars, the fact is indeed as Liu Yuxin said, it can only be the end of man-made swords and I am fish! The generals couldn't help but sigh in their hearts and then bowed to the ground and said, "Yes! ”
However, just as it confirmed Liu Yuxin's speculation about Li Yan, just as they were about to change their plan and abandon the east gate, a guard officer who straddled a war horse suddenly galloped all the way from the city to the city tower, and without waiting for someone to report, he ran to the generals without permission, and knelt on his knees and said in a trembling voice, "General...... Oh no! There were rebels among the soldiers, and a large number of them were out of control, they had killed Huang, Tao and other three captains, and they kept saying that they wanted to flatter Rong Nan with the head of General Liu! ”
"What did you say!?" A bearded lieutenant pulled the panicked guard officer from the ground, "How can this be!? ”
The poor guard officer was already frightened by the unexpected change, and now he was yelled at by this boss like this, and he was really threatened by the war, but he almost didn't cry, "Yes...... It's because ......"
"It's because the word 'profit' is the first word!" Who knew that before he finished speaking, he was coldly interrupted by Liu Yuxin's voice, "Didn't you hear what the group of dog thieves in Rongnan were shouting?!" ”
As soon as these words came out, all the generals listened silently in their hearts, and really heard someone outside the city shouting in unison in the noisy chaos, "King Jin Shizi hereby swears to the sky, no matter whether he is poor or poor, no matter whether he is an enemy or me, he will not be blamed for returning to Rongnan, but whoever kills Da Yu will be rewarded with a reward of 100 taels, and those who punish Liu Yuxin will be rewarded with a reward of 1,000 taels!" ”
As soon as he heard this, he didn't say that ordinary soldiers would be disgusted by this, and even the generals were also excited. Except for the imperial city of Candu and Rongnan, the land of Dayu is not a rich place. Don't say that one hundred and two thousand taels of gold is one tael, and it is also money that ordinary people may not be able to get in ten years! With such a heavy reward, it is like promising a lifetime of glory and wealth for several lifetimes, and how many people can not be tempted by such a temptation? Moreover, there are only 5,000 people in the forward battalion of the crusade against Rongnan who are Liu Yuxin's personal guards from the Hou Mansion, and the rest are scattered Yong who came from the expedition. Therefore, hearing this astronomical high reward, even if he bears the name of treason and injustice, but the difficulty of the siege of the Rongnan army and the interests sought in the danger of wealth and wealth, these two are one life and the other is wealth, and no one can be beaten, and there are as many as 10,000 people who defected and killed the generals that day. The entire city of Yaping was in chaos, and the Dayu soldiers suffered heavy casualties before they could defend against the enemy.
A palm slapped heavily on the city wall, and Liu Yixin's lips, which were white from blood loss, had oozed blood under his fierce bite, "Li Yan, you kid even used such indiscriminate methods, and you really lost the face of your Li family!" Do you think that everyone in the world is a bloodless and boneless shameless person?! He raised his eyes to look at the generals, and his tone was a little more generous and more indignant, "I dare to say that there will never be such a dareless bandit on this tower!" Even if he didn't know the reputation of the official positions of all the people present, he should have thought that you were your parents and dependents in Yaozhou, and he would never do such a foolish thing that ruined the reputation of the family and the nine clans! ”
At first glance, Liu Yuxin's words sounded like he was denouncing Li Yan's unscrupulous means, but their essence was very meaningful, not only to wake up the position of the generals by knocking on the side, but also to use their relatives in their hometowns to threaten each other, so that they could dispel their bad intentions. It can be said that he has made every effort to ensure that these people will not have two hearts for him, and also to ensure that he will not die at the hands of his own people.
Sure enough, after the generals made an impassioned speech, they all bowed at his feet with a loyal face and said in unison, "We are all about to go to the soup for the general!" ”
"Good!" Nodding with satisfaction, Liu Yuxin's phoenix eyes stared at the fires in the distance, and suddenly stretched out his hand and pointed at the city gate and said, "There is less noise there, and the fire is stable, so you will break through from the west gate with me!" ”
According to historical records: Da Yu and Rongnan fought in Yaping, and Rongnan defeated Yufang's 30,000 army with only 8,000 people. 14,000 Dayu soldiers took the initiative to surrender, 8,000 were captured, 700 were wounded, and 300 were killed, and only 7,000 officers and soldiers broke through with the main general Liu Yuxin. Rongnan officers and soldiers were wounded 500 people and killed 160 people, and its commander Li Yan was wise and wise, and his strategy was wise, and he was feared by the world.
