Yang Lin was about to give the order to find someone, and suddenly the central position of the flat ground was dynamic, and he thought that he was dazzled, and when he looked closely, his two hands held up a thick iron plate four feet square, and then two heads appeared, and he looked outside cautiously, and found that it was his own person, and then pushed open the iron plate and stood up.

Yang Lin had already dismounted from the horse, dismounted in front of him, and saw by the light of the fire, it was Yuanyu and Dong Zhi, the two of them had their hair scattered, and the corners of their mouths were still bleeding, seeing Yang Lin, they jumped out of the pit regardless of jumping, kneeling on the ground, Yuanyu stretched out his hand and pointed to the pit and said loudly: "Marshal, quick, quick, save Your Majesty, they are under the tunnel." ”

Yang Lin heard that Yang Guang was below, hurriedly took a torch, jumped down, saw that it was a passage about four feet wide and about five feet high, obliquely downward, he immediately bowed his body and walked to the front of the tunnel, the more he went forward, the more open it became, about thirty steps, he could finally straighten up, walked another twenty or so steps, turned a corner to the left, and saw an underground hall about twenty square meters, there were two torches inserted at the entrance of the hall, and the flames swayed from side to side, it should be dug with a vent.

Yang Guang was like a wounded tiger, curled up on the ground with a yellow cloth, his body was also covered with a yellow cloth, his eyes were blank, and his face was dull, as if his soul had been drained.

There were two worshippers standing on the left and right next to him, dressed in coarse clothes, about sixty years old, with gray beards and hair, this was the master left by Yang Jian to Yang Guang, and his martial arts were very powerful. When the two of them saw that it was Yang Lin, their tense hearts relaxed, and they were no longer so nervous.

Five steps in front of Yang Guang, Yu Wenhua was standing, the clothes on his body were torn, his long beard was burned in half, his face was covered with black ash, his eyes were blank, and he couldn't say funny.

Yang Lin ignored them, came straight to Yang Guang, knelt on one knee, supported Yang Guang's body with both hands, let him sit up against the earthen wall, and said softly: "Your Majesty, let's go home!" Let's go home! ”

Yang Guang replied to his IQ at this time, and also followed Yang Lin and said: "Go home, let's go home!" ”

Lai Hu'er led the 3,000 people who went to burn Dabai Mountain back, he has been setting fire to the most concentrated place in Dabai Mountain, but he can only burn a small area and automatically extinguish, and then he has to find a place to light the fire again, but in addition to the smoke, it just can't burn, until Liaoyang City came from the sound of shouting and killing before collecting troops to rush back, after arriving in Liaocheng, he saw the fire in front of him, and hurriedly asked the remaining sergeant, only to know that it was a new camp, and hurriedly brought the torch and led the troops over.

This battle directly knocked out Yang Guang's confidence, if it weren't for Yu Wenhua's early preparation, he proposed to dig a hiding place under the tent of Shuai, just in case, he would have turned into ashes at this moment and scattered in this world.

I can't stay in this ghost place anymore, I heard Yang Lin say that he wanted to go home, he tried his best to make an order, just two words: go home!

The mountain fire has been extinguished, and the air is filled with a smell that I don't know how to describe, Yang Lin found a carriage and ordered to put on a thick silk quilt, let Yang Guang lie on the carriage to rest, and ask for two offerings for personal protection. After arranging this, my heart was sad: going home is not something that will be back in a while.

The sky is dawning, the morning sun is rising in the east, Yang Lin still has a lot to do, find Yu Wenhua, Laihu'er and a few generals, and said: "No matter what method you use, today is three o'clock, we must gather the soldiers and people who were scattered, at the beginning of the day, our squad will return to the dynasty,"

A few people took the order and left, there are still two hours, how much can be recovered, brothers, I'm sorry. Yang Lin sent three more scouts to the direction of Yingkou to inform Wu Tianxi, asking him to return to the new camp in Liaoyang to escort him.

Looking at Yang Guang, who was trembling from sleep, Yang Lin helped him tuck the corners of the silk quilt, and added a silkworm quilt on it, and infinite sadness surged in his heart: "I think that Yang Lin has experienced dozens of battles in his life, and there have been times when he was powerless, but he has been defeated so miserably from the end, today's shame, I am afraid that it will snow again from time to time, I hope Your Majesty can survive this pass, but can he really regain his strengths?" The class teacher returns to the dynasty? Is it really that easy to go back? ”

Yang Lin knows some domestic situations, if Liaodong can win, maybe he can deter them, but now that he has failed, and he has lost so badly, how many people can still be loyal to the Great Sui? When you return to the army, you have to guard against their dissenting intentions.

In this battle, the people also suffered heavy losses, most of these people were recruited from Shandong and Henan, and they couldn't go to Jizhou when they returned to the army, which was too close to Mongolia and Turkic, and they would be eaten alive if they were not careful, so they could only go to Shandong to Henan and then to Luoyang, and then back to Chang'an, this road was almost 6,000 miles, could this mourning army still hold out to the destination? I also have to think about how to cross Shandong and Henan, I am really afraid that these two places will provoke civil revolt because of the people.

Yang Lin didn't dare to think about it anymore, and waited until he had gathered the scattered soldiers and horses.

Li Xiuning spent the fourth day of the fifth month in a variety of delicacies, she accompanied Luo Yu, watched Luo Yu cook dishes with strange names, listened to Luo Yu tell her all kinds of strange mythological stories, and finally after drinking a large cup of wild boar soup called snowflake stewed fragrant jade, she complained: "I have gained a lot of weight, and my clothes don't fit!" It's all your fault! The master said that the gentleman is far away from cooking, it seems that he has never eaten your cooking! ”

Luo Yu smiled: "It's good to gain weight, fleshy, hold it!" ”

Li Xiuning squinted his eyes and said: "I have no clothes to wear when I get fat, accompany me to buy new clothes tonight, and I can wear them out tomorrow!" ”

Luo Yu happily agreed, and brought a small bowl of brown sugar ginger tea to Li Xiuning and said, "Wait a minute, drink it, isn't your menstrual affair almost coming?" I can't see you pretending to be in pain. ”

Li Xiuning drank a stomach of soup, and saw Luo Yu bring a small bowl of red soup over, originally refused, but after listening to Luo Yu, his heart was warm, and he hurriedly asked: "How do you know when my menstrual affairs are coming?" What is this? Can it cure abdominal pain during menstruation? ”

Luo Yu smiled: "On the fifth day of the first month of last month, I saw that your eyebrows were irritated, and I stroked my abdomen with my hand, so I guessed it, but I was embarrassed to tell you these embarrassing topics, so I asked the maid to boil brown sugar ginger tea for you, but I didn't expect that you have not returned to the general's mansion in those days, and then I asked the maid, and they said that they drank it themselves, and it had an effect, so I boiled it for you to drink today." ”

Li Xiuning drank the brown sugar ginger tea in one gulp, leaned his head on Luo Yu's chest, and sighed leisurely and said, "It's good to have you in this life!" Promise me, don't leave me, stay with me all the time! ”

Luo Yu hugged Li Xiuning tightly and said: "If you don't leave and don't give up, I will live and die!" I'll sing you a song, but this song is cheesy, so don't laugh when you hear it! ”

Li Xiuning sat up straight and said with a smile: "Yo, I really can't see that Luo Dacai can not only recite poems against each other, but also show his singing voice, and the little woman listened to it." ”

Luo Yu cleared his throat and sang: "String your heart, my heart, string a clover plant and string a concentric circle, let all the calls looking forward to the future, take advantage of youth to be a companion, don't let the younger you grow up, the more lonely you are, plant my clover in your dream field, let love follow our concentric circles, never stop, call loudly to the sky and say I love you, say I miss you to the wandering white clouds, let the sky hear, let the white clouds see, no one can erase the promise we made, I want to take you to see the sea together and say I love you, Say I miss you to your brightest star, listen to the vows of the sea Look at the persistent blue sky, let us love each other freely. "This Little Tigers' golden song "Love" is Luo Yu's favorite, I don't know how many times I have sung it, I am very familiar with it, I still have this song saved in my mobile phone, and some phrases have not appeared yet, so I changed one or two places, and the current scene is also suitable for singing.

Luo Yu time and space, Chinese music from the Spring and Autumn Period to the end of the Qing Dynasty still maintained the palace, Shang, horn, sign, feather five tones, there is the so-called five tones incomplete, but also correspond to the five elements of gold, wood, water, fire, earth, but also correspond to the lips, tongue, teeth, nose, throat five parts, so than the Western law of seven tones less many changes, but the Chinese culture of five thousand years has its own merits.

There is a cloud in the military holy book "The Art of War": "All fighters win with the right and the odd", "The sound is not more than five, and the change of the five voices cannot be heard or heard." The color is not five, and the change of five colors is not impressive. The taste is not five, and the change of the five flavors is not to be tasted. The battle situation is not strange, and the change of Qizheng is invincible. Strange and positive are born together, such as the gratuitous cycle, who can be poor? Taking the five tones, five colors, and five flavors as examples, the dialectical way of using troops is more concise and clever than the seven tones that only change for the sake of change in the West.

Li Xiuning is familiar with the rhythm of music, she often stroked the piano and played the flute when she was in Chang'an, and the ancient songs came easily, but she had never heard such a strange tone, and after listening to it, she raised her pretty face and said: "This song is very good, the words are a little vulgar, but it is also appropriate, where did you learn such a strange tune?" ”

Luo Yu smiled: "This song is called "Love", is it more suitable for the song?" ”

Li Xiuning was silent for a moment and then smiled: "That's true, do you know the fingering tutorial of this song?" Luo Yu was embarrassed to ask this, how could he know what fingering, whether it was in his previous life or in this life, he had never touched a musical instrument such as a guzheng, no matter what, teach her the method of seven tones, let her study it herself, maybe she will become a musician.

So he taught her the Arabic numerals 0-9, and corresponded them to the Chinese characters one by one, until she understood them, and then taught her the seven notes of Doremifa Solasi and the corresponding numbers, and when she memorized it, she would not talk about this topic again, and this was not a knowledge that could be figured out at once.

I wanted to pull Li Xiuning to buy clothes, but she refused, she seemed to be obsessed with music, so Luo Yu didn't force it, called the maid, and asked them if there were any good tailor shops in the city, but they didn't expect both of them to say that they would cut, embroider, and sew.

Luo Yu was overjoyed, and hurriedly took out the drawn underwear drawings and said: "Don't think about eating in a bad place, if the things on this picture can be made, the women all over the world have to thank the two of you, and there are still things that have not been shipped, and I will have to trouble you once in a few days." After that, he gave them the drawings.

When the two maids heard Luo Yu say this, they had already been fascinated, what could make all the women in the world thankful? Hurriedly opened the drawings and looked at them, from a confused face to a blushing face, Luo Yu knew that they understood, and asked, "Do you want to explain to you what materials to use?" ”

The two maids hurriedly said no, so they flew to Li Xiuning's room, probably to help her measure the ruler. Luo Yu shook his head, ignored them, turned around and walked straight to the West House where Niu Jinda was.

At the end of the hour, the various departments came to report, in addition to the soldiers and horses brought by Yang Lin and Laihu'er, they had collected more than 86,000 remnants of the army, more than 33,000 war horses, and more than 123,000 people, and most of them were wounded, all of them were burns and poisonous injuries, and the death toll would gradually increase under the intelligence of no medicine, and the five thousand commanders and three army leaders were missing, and there was not much grain and grass left.

Wu Tianxi's 200,000 soldiers and horses did not lose much, Yang Lin ordered Zhao Kuangyin to lead 50,000 cavalry, and more than 200,000 soldiers and civilians lined up, and slowly set off south under the leadership of the cavalry.

This battle, Yang Guang did not dare to mention it again in his life, he escaped death, and when he went to Shandong, he was robbed of the horses and grain and grass by the homeless, and the sergeant in front of the car watched the homeless robbery indifferent, which made him even more disheartened? In this battle, Goguryeo changed its name to Goryeo, cut off the heads of the Sui army who died on the battlefield, and built three huge Jingguan on the bank of the Liaohe River, twenty miles north of Liaoyang City, and engraved a monument to commemorate it. In this battle, the Liao army advanced westward to Jinzhou and Tongliao, expanded the land for 500 miles, and built three new cities of Gucheng, Nanjin and Kaiyuan on this border, all of which were built on the mountain, easy to defend and difficult to attack.

After the founding of the Tang Dynasty, in the second year of Li Shimin's ascension to the throne, that is, in the first year of Zhenguan, Luo Yu led 30,000 elites to break through the three cities, dug Jingguan under the noses of the Goryeo people, and brought the souls of hundreds of thousands of people who were exiled back to the Tang Dynasty.

Gai Suwen was angry, raised troops to invade Pyongyang, Gao Jianwu fled to Japan, Zhenguan two years in April, he united Mongolia to attack Tang, Luo Yu and with 50,000 elites, with thunder means to destroy Gai Suwen, the Mongols fled far to the north of the desert, since then a century in the northeast has nothing to do, the Tang Dynasty expanded thousands of miles.

This is a later story, and I will not go into detail for the time being.

Duanyang Festival was going to go out to play, but Li Xiuning was inconvenient, so she could only stay and discuss with her how to go south to capture Changzhi and Jincheng. Luo Yu had guessed that Yang Guang would fail, although the reason was different from his original time and space, but it was undeniable that Goguryeo could use oil to set fire was also one of the reasons, even if Yang Guang did not retreat from the Central Plains, Changzhi and Jincheng must also be captured, and Linfen formed a triangular terrain to take care of each other. It's just that now I don't know if there will be two or three signs.

Seeing Li Xiuning caressing her abdomen, as if she was enduring the pain, Luo Yu put away the marching map, picked her up and put her on the bed, and told her to leave it alone, rest well, come to the maid to take care of it, and then rolled up the drawings to find Li Xiaogong.

On May 12, I finally received the report of the battle in Liaodong: on the sixth day of the first month, our army was burned more than 4,000 people in the battle of Xiangcheng, and the city was destroyed; On the seventh day of the first month, the two armies fought outside the city of Liaoyang, Jin Chengfei was shot by the eight bull crossbows, our army broke Liaoyang at the end, at the same time, the Chinese army where the saint was located was burned in the dense forest of ten miles west of Liaoyang, countless casualties were killed, fortunately His Majesty was unharmed, and ordered the withdrawal of the army. The marshal decided to withdraw the camp and return to the army at the eighth day of the first month, and did not know the route of the march for the time being.

It's similar to what Luo Yu thought, it seems that it can't be delayed, Changzhi Li Mi's soldiers and horses don't have to worry at all, the information sent back by the special combat team said that Li Mi is suspicious, jealous and jealous, and it is difficult to grow, even his brother Zhai Rang, who raised troops with him, was killed by him, lost the support of the people, and has gradually declined, Qin Qiong led 5,000 troops to be stationed outside the city, and it seems that he does not listen to Li Mi's orders.

For example, Zhu Yuanzhang put 50,000 of his subordinates wearing red cloth on their heads, renamed the Red Turban Army, and took Su Dingfang as the general, training hard day and night to strengthen the city defense. Starting from the four walls of Jinyang, two miles outward, a new wall was built, and four gates were set up.

It seems that the release is to change Jincheng into a military city, this Zhu Chongba is not small, but as far as the current Jincheng defense force is concerned, Luo Yu will only put a few more improved explosives bags if he wants to capture it.

In the past two months, in addition to training, he also desperately collected the raw materials of black gunpowder, and then grinded them all into powder, mixed them into granules with egg whites, and hid them in a newly dug basement rolled with lime, and then drew drawings and asked the blacksmith to build them according to the drawings, making them look like grenades in later generations, using white phosphorus as a guide, tearing off the back cover and throwing it out.

Then according to the shape of the explosives bag designed into the shape of the buckle, after the gunpowder particles are installed, the two sides are closed, one side is equipped with a lead, and the buckle is buckled hard, although it is not as powerful as the one piece, but in this era, there should be no city wall to resist the power of the explosion of this thing.

On May 13, Li Xiuning Songbu military order: leave Li Xiaogong to lead 20,000 soldiers and horses to guard Linfen, and the other 30,000 soldiers and horses led by Xu Shiji to the south to Wenxi to receive Yuncheng, and the remaining 50,000 horses and horses divided into ten teams to go out of the east gate to capture Changzhi and then take Jincheng in the south.

At the same time, an vanguard team was sent to disguise themselves as merchants to choose a suitable place in the north of Zhengzhou to build a bridge so as to cross the Yellow River in the south. This vanguard team was all carefully selected by Luo Yu, and the three thousand people were all skilled craftsmen, of which carpenters accounted for most of them, and they had also specially trained in the skills of building bridges, and I don't know if they could complete the task under Dou Jiande's nose.

No matter what, it is just a guess that Yang Guang will retreat from Kaifeng and Zhengzhou, if they don't take this road, they can also take all the southern part of Shanxi with such an arrangement, and pay a little price without loss.

Linfen is about two hundred miles away from Changzhi, because all the cavalry is bringed, on the day of the expedition, he went a hundred miles to the east, and set up a meal outside the city of Anze, Li Xiuning came to Luo Yu's tent, and saw that Luo Yu was drinking mutton soup without a mouthful, his eyes were staring at the map, and he was gesturing on the map with his hands, as if he was looking for an optimal marching route.

Li Xiuning walked over, gently pressed his hands on Luo Yu's shoulders, and said with a smile: "Don't work so hard, I'll help you press it." ”

Luo Yu put down the mutton soup, pulled Li Xiuning over, let her sit on his lap, hugged her lightly and said, "It's not hard, besides, if I work hard, the lady will be able to relax." ”

Li Xiuning smiled happily, this little man is really rare, but he can't be too tired, otherwise he will always be unhappy. When he was thinking about how to help him, Luo Yu suddenly said: "During this time in Linfen, I wanted to go north to Taiyuan alone to find Tang Gong and solve the matter between us, but I have been worried, with the identity of Bai Ding, who I have nothing now, to go to Tang Gong to ask for marriage, will I be beaten out with a stick?" ”

Li Xiuning blinked his eyes wide and said with a smile: "Maybe, my father loves me the most on weekdays, you want to take away his most beloved daughter, can you give you a good face?" Do you think parents are like this? My father said that he was also beaten by his grandfather at the beginning, saying that she was not worthy of my mother......"

Luo Yu smiled: "It seems that there is still a turmoil in the matter of the two of us!" I will let Tang Gong rest assured to marry you to me!" ”

Li Xiuning jumped up suddenly, and then quickly kissed Luo Yu on the face, and ran out without speaking, making Luo Yu inexplicable, the menstrual affair is over, why are you still so frizzy? Don't care about her, let's think about how to subdue Qin Qiong outside Changzhi City.

In fact, as early as the tenth day of the fifth month, Luo Yu sent to Longyou to find cotton The special combat team has brought the cotton back, there is Xue Ju's territory, you can't bring too much, even the cottonseed is only two or three catties, too little, after removing the cottonseed, there is about a pound left, let the maid make a pair of double-layer unsealed shoes, stuff the cotton in, and then close the mouth, wear it and try it, good, very warm, although it is a bit silly to wear cotton shoes in this weather.

Give the cottonseeds to the maids, let them find a piece of land to sow seeds, and then take care of them, and then come back to accept them when they come back.

As soon as he arrived outside Changzhi City, Qin Qiong sent someone to contact him, saying that he wanted to see Li Xiuning and Luo Yu. So Li Xiuning met this tall and thin famous general in the Chinese military tent, who was also her cousin.

Luo Yu did not prevent them from recognizing their relatives, and after they met, they came out to find Niu Jinda, and when he saw him holding a book and reading it with relish, he asked, "Uncle Niu, what book is so good?" ”

Niu Jinda said with a smile: "The script is about a script where Bai Ding fell in love with a female general after joining the army, and then was obstructed by the female general's father and worked hard. ”

The more Luo Yu listened, the more familiar he became, isn't this just about himself and Li Xiuning? Why did you make it into a script? It's famous. Niu Jinda said: "Familiar, right? The old man arranged dozens of storytellers in Taiyuan City, and said, don't forget the kindness of the old man! ”

Luo Yu was speechless, and just wanted to speak, he was interrupted by Niu Jinda: "Don't worry, I don't use your real name, but it's all true, Tang Guild understands." ”

Luo Yu breathed a sigh of relief, hugged his fists and said: "Boy, thank you Uncle Niu for your great kindness......" Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by a special combat team member outside the tent: "Instructor, the general invites you to come over, Li Mi has surrendered to the city......"

This is a bit unexpected, I thought that no matter how Li Mi would have to resist, but he didn't expect the army to surrender as soon as it arrived, it seems that he has recognized the reality and does not do useless struggles.

Luo Yu and Niu Jinda hurriedly came to the big tent of the Chinese army, and saw that Qin Qiong had changed into the military uniform of the Right Martial Army and was listening to orders under the tent, but they didn't see Li Mi coming.

Li Xiuning saw that the two had arrived, and said: "Uncle Niu, join the army, Li Mi will dedicate the city, our army will have a long rule without a fight, but now it is a little troublesome, it is impossible to let Li Mi guard the long rule, I want him to return to Linfen, I can't believe this person." ”

Niu Jinda said: "In this case, let him go back to Taiyuan with my own soldiers, I am asking them to go to Taiyuan to deliver a letter." As for Changzhi, let General Qin stay! ”

Qin Qiong hurriedly said: "Don't you dare, you will entrust the back road to this rebel general under your subordinates, in case you ......"

Luo Yu continued: "There is no case, we believe in General Qin, this is not a test of you, but the combat method of the Right Martial Army is different from that of other armies, and I am afraid that General Qin will not adapt to it, and it will be good after joint training in the future." ”

Qin Qiong said again: "It's okay for the soldiers and horses to stay under Changzhi, but the subordinates can go to Jincheng with the army, so they can just observe the new combat of the Right Martial Army." Please choose another general who can stay in Changzhi. ”

Li Xiuning nodded and said: "In this case, let Xue Li lead 10,000 infantry to stay in Changzhi, and early tomorrow morning, the whole army will march to Jincheng." ”

The three of them bowed down and listened to the order, turned around and went out of the tent to make arrangements, Niu Jinda wrote a letter to inform Li Yuan of Li Mi's matter, and then sent twenty personal soldiers to set off immediately and take Li Mi to Taiyuan, this person can't stay, but it's not time to kill him, as for how to deal with it, it's up to Li Yuan.

Luo Yu took Qin Qiong back to the tent and arched his hand: "Brother Qin, I said that there will be a period later, I didn't expect to meet so soon, and I recognized the general, congratulations!" ”

Qin Qiong also smiled politely and said: "Joining the army is fast and fast-talking, and my subordinates are a little uncomfortable." ”

Luo Yu interrupted him and said: "What join the army, what subordinates, Brother Qin, don't be polite, although I joined the army, I have no grade or rank, where are my subordinates?" In the future, it will be called Luo Yu, if the eldest brother can afford to be a brother, it is okay to call him Brother Luo, no matter what we do, just talk about brothers! ”

Qin Qiong didn't know, Luo Yu admired him very much, in his time and space, Qin Qiong paid too much for the establishment and stability of the Tang Dynasty, a pair of golden maces played the might of the Tang Dynasty, played the beginning of the prosperous era of Zhenguan, but he was incomplete, suffered more than ten wounds, and finally was burdened by his descendants, went to half a life, and died depressed.

If he comes, he won't let these things happen again, besides, this is Li Xiuning's cousin, his mother has such a good relationship with Li Yuan, isn't it one more ally to be good friends with him? Why not?
