With the death of the main general, the enemy army in the valley was completely routed, and the generals led their men and horses to continue the pursuit, and Li Tai had time to get together with Li Yunxin and others to exchange information.

"The last general came from the south of Yunyang Valley, blocked outside the Great Wall of Beishan, and only entered when the Eastern Thief recruited a merchant group, about 2,000 disciples, and the rest of Liu Kuzhen and others are still stranded outside the Great Wall......"

Li Yunxin first briefly told the deeds of Beilai, and then hurriedly dragged up Luo Chao, who had been captured before, and continued to say: "The thief killed by Jun Qian, Yan Zixian, and the Luo Chao in front of him are all rebel generals in Kansai. Especially this Luo Chao, he has also made a big deal to disturb our Qinzhou countryside! ”

"What do you say? This person's name is Luo Chao? ”

Li Tai was surprised when he heard this, of course he knew about Lu Lingxuan, who was one of the people in charge of traffic in the later period of the Northern Qi Dynasty, and by the way, he also knew a little about her husband, so he first looked at this guy with a calm expression with great interest.

"Please General Rong self-presentation, a certain swallow sacrifice is not the same stream! This fang is willing to fall and rebel against the lord to seek glory, but he is invincible in battle, and he surrenders to the thief in order to save the lives of the people in the city. In the old days, it was indeed a crime to do evil in the countryside from thieves, just because he was coerced by robbers, and then a certain thief was the head of the thief and lured the disciples to submit to the court......"

Luo Chao was shocked at this moment, seeing that Li Tai was the main commander of this team, he was busy bowing his head and defending himself earnestly.

Li Tai was happy after listening to it, if he didn't know the deeds of this guy and just listened to his self-defense, he might really think that this was a troubled and pure good out of the mud, but this guy is a capricious, inferior character and cruel speculator, and it is difficult to say whether his wife and children have been taught by his words and deeds to make the Northern Qi disaster so miserable.

"General Luo has been famous for a long time, although he is now in the enemy camp, it is not his will, quickly release the tie and apologize!"

Seeing that this guy is by no means a pillar of loyalty, Li Tai also wanted to learn more about the enemy from him, so he put on a gentle and polite attitude, and when he saw Luo Chao's flattered appearance, he said: "I entered here with the mission of Daxingtai to carry out the strategy of encircling Wei and saving Zhao, as long as I can solve this military crisis, it will be a great achievement."

If the general can help me with righteousness, he will return home with honor on the day of triumph, and he will no longer have to sink into the realm of thieves. In previous years, there was no shortage of betrayers, and there were few people who returned to righteousness. ”

Luo Chao was passionate in a few words, he was already depressed all the year round in the Eastern Dynasty, and felt that the current situation could not match the achievements of the old years, and now he was reduced to a prisoner, and he also saw Yan Zixian die tragically, and when he heard Li Tai's enthusiastic solicitation and the moving prospects depicted, his mood was already extremely excited.

"So that you can be entrusted by Prime Minister Yuwen and perform this feat, it can be seen that he must be a young man with a high reputation in the country! Although the teeth are long, but there is still a bit of fierceness, but if you do not give up, you are willing to be the pioneer of the monarch's dogs and horses, and help you win this great achievement! ”

He prostrated in front of Li Tai's feet and said loudly with sincerity on his face.

After Li Tai heard this, he waved his hand again and again: "It's serious, it's serious, the general really tortured me when he said this!" How can the younger generation be able to speak lightly of the general, but it is enough to be able to kill the enemy side by side and create feats together! ”

He is not pretending to be polite, he really doesn't dare to accept this old boy as a junior brother, this guy is too much of a boss, and he is just talking and thinking about it in his heart, but this Luo Chao really does it as a career, it is simply Lu Chengjing!

Luo Chao saw that he was in an absolutely powerful situation but still respected him so much, and his heart was even more moved, and he hurriedly said: "Dare to ask what the queen wants?" A certain will lay down his life and try to follow the helper! ”

The next step is, of course, to take advantage of the victory to pursue and continue to advance towards Jinyang, and Luo Chao couldn't help but gasp after hearing Li Tai's idea, and sighed in his heart that the future was terrifying, just these people dared to attack Jinyang!

But after the exclamation, he also had to admit that the timing was indeed right, at present, the Jinyang army was out on the march, and most of the remaining men and horses between the troops were concentrated on the Beishan Great Wall, and the only considerable garrison on the left was more than 5,000 people in Xiurong City, but now most of them have been defeated here.

This means that, in addition to Jinyang's own defenders, it will take at least a few days to form a sizable reinforcement force in the surrounding realm. And within this period of time, Jinyang City has become a real lonely city, but this lonely city is a bit big.

Although Luo Chao's position in the Eastern Dynasty is not good, but the experience and ability are still there, after a little muttering, he said again: "Let the king lead the troops to advance to this point, the talent and timing are indispensable, the thief city is in front of you, if the master does not enter, it will be a pity......"

"Did the general teach me?"

When Li Tai heard this, his heart suddenly rejoiced. This is also something that he is distressed about, it is really not easy for him to lead his troops to advance to this point, and it is almost impossible to complete a task in ordinary times.

And after this time, the Eastern Wei Dynasty will inevitably strengthen its defense against this realm, and it will be doubly difficult to replicate it in the future, and it would be a pity if it could not take the opportunity to expand the results.

Although he had not been to Jinyang City in person, he also understood that it was unrealistic to fantasize about breaking through the city with these people at the moment. It would not be easy to break through a military and political center that the regime is focused on if it were not for a systematic collapse. Even Huazhou City, which was much weaker than Jinyang's foundation, Gao Huan's army failed to break it.

At this time, hearing Luo Chao's tone, it seemed that he had quite an idea, and Li Tai's heart was full of expectations, and his attitude towards him became more enthusiastic.

When the battle was raging in Chichenling, another group of hundreds of armor soldiers entered the northern city of Jinyang, and then they were arranged somewhere in the city defense.

The guards here personally inspected the city to ensure that all kinds of defenses were foolproof. Of course, it is impossible to really make no mistakes, and he can only try his best to ensure that there are no obvious loopholes within his ability.

The departure of the army has drastically reduced the treasury and the carrying capacity of the population in Jinyang City, and the only way to maintain a larger garrison within this limited range is to dismiss other non-combatants.

At the same time, in order to avoid causing a large-scale personnel panic, Di Gan could only send soldiers into the city from some dock-walled cities near Jinyang City. Although the garrison of these small strongholds is limited, the concentration is also a considerable number, and the garrison of Jinyang Zhucheng has exceeded 10,000 by now.

The increased troops are mainly used to improve the defense of Beicheng and the Prime Minister's Mansion, which is also the most important area in Jinyang City, and there is absolutely no room for loss.

With the addition of more than 4,000 garrisons, it was necessary to dismiss the tens of thousands of non-combatants in the city, mainly the sergeants who belonged to the overlord and needed to be fed by the overlord.

A considerable number of these soldiers were captured in the Battle of Bishan in the old years, and they did not follow King Gao's army south to fight for fear of their homeland.

Although at the end of last year, the overlord had ordered the release of these Pishan prisoners of war and matched them with civilian widows, so that they could settle down and become subordinate people, but for a while, the people could not sort out tens of thousands of widows for unified distribution, so they could only be resettled in batches, which lasted until this year, and thousands of Pishan prisoners of war were still stranded in Jinyang and were still soldiers.

It was this group of soldiers who ordered him to be dismissed to eat in the suburbs, but he did not know it. He didn't even know a word, and he really lacked the ability to accurately handle government affairs, so he could only formulate a framework and hand it over to his subordinates for implementation.

There are tens of thousands of elite Jinyang soldiers guarding the cities, plus a large number of residents in the city, and a large number of powerful people can be recruited to defend the city at a critical moment.

Not to mention that thousands of merchant groups were recruited outside the Great Wall of Beishan before, and together with the defenders of Xiurong City, there were tens of thousands of men and horses, and it was very likely that the danger of the other side would be solved south of Shishan, and it would not spread to Jinyang again.

Although the chances of an accident were slim in every way, there was still some apprehension in his heart. Although he did not know the cause of this uneasiness, he did not dare to let his guard down because of the intuitive sense of danger he had developed over the years.

On this day, Di Gan only felt that the sense of crisis in his heart was getting stronger and stronger, and he even lost it several times when he ate in the evening, which made him feel inexplicably nervous.

It's not that he hasn't experienced a big battle, he is so suspicious that he can't help himself, and the tension for no reason is like this, which often means that something bad may really happen.

So before it got dark, he inspected the city defenses again, and extended the range of scouts to the suburbs a lot, to ensure that any unexpected situation could be detected at the first time, and told the other city guards to be vigilant, and refused to leave after dark.

Just after nightfall, another hour passed, when he went out to check at night, he rode his horse and galloped back, and told him that there were indeed unusual signs outside the city, birds and beasts were frightened away, and there was a hidden sound of war horses galloping, and all kinds of signs indicated that there seemed to be a large group of men and horses coming quickly towards Jinyang City, and it was estimated that they would arrive the night before.

After hearing the scout's reply, he also took a deep breath, and did not feel any fear because of this, but reduced the anxiety in his heart because he was sure that the bad thing would come true. There is no need to be suspicious now, you just need to concentrate on the battle and repel the incoming enemy.

Because the enemy's situation was unknown, he did not order the whole city to be on alert immediately, but only passed the news of the imminent disturbance of the foreign enemy to the guards everywhere, ordered them to prepare for war outside and inside, and gathered some of the soldiers who were camped to supplement the city defense.
