Chapter 18 The light take of Luokoucang is well-known in the world
Listening to Shen Luoyan's words, Zhao Mingyuan smiled awkwardly.
He understands that now that Shen Luoyan has regained his composure, it is no longer difficult for him to take advantage of the void.
As for Su Su Chuchu, these were the two girls that Zhai Rang gave him some time ago.
That's right, it's Su Su and Chu Chu, Zhai Rang's only daughter Zhai Jiao's maid ring.
They were all orphans who barely survived the famine, but because of their good looks, they were selected to serve Zhai Jiao.
Girls like them are often rewarded by Zhai Rang to his generals.
In the original work, Su Su was favored by Wang Bodang and asked Zhai Rang for it.
Although Zhai Rang knew that Wang Bodang was Li Mi's person, he didn't take it to heart as a little girl, so he agreed.
Su Su was also given to Wang Bodang, and after some playing, he was abandoned.
After that, Su Su met someone unladylike, was coaxed by Xiangyushan's rhetoric, and died with hatred after giving birth to a child.
This child later became Xiao Lingzhong, the righteous son of Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling.
And Chu Chu is Su Su's good sister, after Su Su died, she has been taking care of Xiao Lingzhong.
Originally, Zhai Rang rewarded the two to Zhao Mingyuan, but he didn't want to accept it.
However, Zhai Rang had already sent the two of them directly to his house. Zhao Mingyuan learned that they were Su Su and Chu Chu, and then left them behind.
Because Zhao Mingyuan knew that if he refused, then the ending of the two of them would definitely not be much better.
Since Zhai Rang can give them to Zhao Mingyuan today, he may naturally give them to other generals tomorrow. In that case, it would be better for them to stay here.
It's just that this made Wei Zhenzhen angry for a long time. Later, Zhao Mingyuan explained many times, and he reluctantly coaxed Wei Zhenzhen well.
Unexpectedly, now Shen Luoyan actually made fun of this matter. It seems that although this is not a secret, it seems that Li Mi's side has already begun to pay attention to his every move.
I'm afraid that they will take Zhao Mingyuan's actions, interpersonal relationships, speeches, and every move to a magnifying glass and study it carefully, so as to find his weaknesses and come up with a way to deal with Zhao Mingyuan.
However, to Shen Luoyan's question, Zhao Mingyuan replied: "Luoyan, if I tell you that this handkerchief is mine." ”
"Impossible, what incense do you smoke as a big man!" After Shen Luoyan finished speaking, he suddenly realized that he was arguing with Zhao Mingyuan about whether he was fragrant or not, so he hurriedly shut up, turned around and left in a hurry.
However, the sharp-eyed Zhao Mingyuan saw that her face was flushed.
Moreover, she left so quickly that it seemed that she had taken the handkerchief with her.
Zhao Mingyuan shook his head, dispelled the love of children in his heart, and returned to the camp.
At this time, Qin Shubao and the others were already ready, just waiting for Zhao Mingyuan to give the order to set off.
This was indeed before the military order was issued, and they were already preparing to pack up and stop.
Next, the Wagangzhai soldiers were divided into two routes, and Zhao Mingyuan and Li Mi each led their troops to attack Luokoucang.
Such a big movement naturally can't be hidden.
In fact, since Zhang Xutuo's death, the world has been shaken, and he guessed that the next strategy of Wagangzhai must be to attack Luokoucang.
Luokoucang was the largest granary in the Sui Dynasty, so Yang Guang attached great importance to it and sent Liu Wengong, the general of Hu Benlang, to lead 25,000 soldiers and horses from the eastern capital Luoyang to the east, in an attempt to recover the decline.
He also ordered Pei Renji to attack Xingyang City, which was occupied by the Wagang army, from the tiger prison, hoping to use these two armies to contain the Wagang army.
At the same time, Yang Guang sent his powerful subordinate Wang Shichong to Luokou to confront Li Mizuo.
Yes, Yang Guang always valued Li Mi, and he didn't even mention Zhao Mingyuan's name.
However, Zhao Mingyuan naturally didn't care about the attitude of a dying person towards him.
The soldiers are fast, and Luokoucang will receive support from the Sui army at any time.
Therefore, Zhao Mingyuan led his troops to send troops quickly, and on the way he discussed with Qin Shubao, Luo Shixin, and Cheng Yanjin how to deal with this battle.
They had also soon been informed of the movements of the Sui army. Although it is impossible to judge their implementation, the general direction of travel is clear.
Pei Renji attacked Xingyang according to Yang Guang's fate, so naturally he didn't have to think about it first.
However, the two armies of Liu Wengong and Wang Shichong are already imminent, and they will inevitably interfere with their attack on Luokoucang.
Especially Wang Shichong, who is now rushing to Luokoucang, if they take a step slower, maybe they may face Luokoucang, which has tens of thousands of defenders, then it is already doomed.
The upper army is scheming, the second is the enemy, the second is the army, and the next is the siege.
The method of siege is a last resort.
However, if you want to take Luokoucang, I am afraid that this siege is inevitable.
This is not good news.
In particular, many of Zhao Mingyuan's subordinates surrendered from the Sui army.
Although it was led by a familiar general, it temporarily stabilized the morale of the army. However, what if they were allowed to fight with the Sui army again, what if they were surrendered by the other side instead?
This is all possible, especially when you are at a disadvantage.
However, in the end, Zhao Mingyuan thought of a way, and after asking Qin Shubao and the three of them, he made sure that they were very familiar with these Sui army generals, so he quickly made a plan.
Next, Zhao Mingyuan and the others traveled day and night, and also sent good hands to get rid of all the scouts nearby, and concealed their whereabouts.
Although this method can only be concealed for a short period of time, and it will soon be discovered by the Sui army, it can be delayed for a while. They are trying to fight for this period of time.
Sure enough, after Zhao Mingyuan's army disappeared, the Sui army sent people to search for Zhao Mingyuan's army, but on the other hand, they gathered at Li Mi's Pushan public camp and launched an attack.
Moreover, it turned out to be the two armies of Liu Wengong and Wang Shichong who fought together.
Sure enough, they still valued Li Mi more, and they despised Zhao Mingyuan, who had no background.
In their opinion, Zhao Mingyuan was just a puppet that Zhai Rang had barely raised to balance Li Mi, and it was not difficult to deal with, so naturally he didn't pay the slightest attention to it.
However, Li Mi deserved to be Li Mi, and soon discovered that the two troops had a tendency to attack in a flank. So, he divided his way and blocked Wang Shichong's troops, and he personally led the main army to attack Liu Wengong's troops.
Maybe Li Mi is also angry.
At this time, he was already bound to be attacked by Zhao Mingyuan first. He could only secretly pray that the Luokoucang was well guarded and not so easy to be captured.
So, Li Mi vented all his anger on others and attacked Liu Wengong's department.
Liu Wengong's army was defeated in a battle, and Liu Wengong fled with only a few thousand cavalry, and the infantry was either killed or captured.
Seeing Li Mi so powerful, Wang Shichong was also startled, losing the attack of Liu Wengong's troops, he no longer dared to take the initiative to go forward to fight Li Mi, but retreated in the direction of Luokoucang, preparing to hold Luokou.
After all, he was ordered to guard Luokoukura. As long as Luokoucang is not lost, he will be fine.
However, what Wang Shichong didn't expect was that when he came to Luokoucang, he found that the flag on it had been replaced with the logo of the Wagang Army.
There is a huge "Zhao" on the banner, indicating that this place has been captured by Zhao Mingyuan.
How can it be?
How could Zhao Mingyuan attack it so quickly?
This is also too fast, not even a day, how can the defenders of Luokoucang not be able to hold even a day?
Could it be that someone rebelled and joined forces with the outside?
Wang Shichong was puzzled.
This is because Zhao Mingyuan really did not attack the city.
So how did he get in?
Zhao Mingyuan didn't fight in the first place, but came in directly.
Of course, he pretended to be the Sui army, pretending to be the Sui army sent by Wang Shichong to support Luokoucang.
No, it should be said that they were originally the Sui army, but they have become the Wagang army.
Now, they've just changed back to their original armor blades. Whether it is the queue or the momentum, it is the same as the original, and the defenders of Luokoucang naturally can't tell it.
Of course, this is not enough.
So, according to the descriptions of Qin Shubao and the others, Zhao Mingyuan disguised a few of them into the appearance of Wang Shichong's generals.
Because they were extremely familiar with the various tentative cuts of the Sui army, they were able to successfully deceive the defenders of Luokoucang and let them open the city gates.
Even they directly took over the city defense, and in this way they occupied Luokoucang bloodlessly.
By the time the defenders of Luokoucang found out the truth, it was already too late, and they were all captured.
After that, Zhao Mingyuan ordered his subordinates to persuade the original Sui army to surrender to them, and showed up to tell them that there was nothing wrong with surrendering the Wagang army, and it was a real abandonment of darkness and surrender to the light.
In addition, everyone has no loyalty to Yang Guang in the first place, most of the soldiers are just soldiers to eat food, and naturally they will not work hard for a faint monarch Yang Guang.
So, soon everyone became a happy family.
Wang Shichong saw that there was no trace of the recent battle on the city wall, and he already knew that Zhao Mingyuan relied on clever tricks to steal the city, rather than relying on strength to win.
Therefore, Wang Shichong did not take Zhao Mingyuan seriously, so he immediately ordered the army to attack the city.
saw that Zhao Mingyuan actually opened the city gate and led the crowd out of the city to face the battle.
Seeing that Zhao Mingyuan occupied the terrain of the city wall and did not use it, this naturally made Wang Shichong despise Zhao Mingyuan even more and command the army to press it.
However, his soldiers were exhausted all the way here, and naturally they couldn't defeat Zhao Mingyuan's army, which was waiting for work.
What's more, Zhao Mingyuan's subordinates were originally elite soldiers who followed Zhang Xutuo in a hundred battles, and naturally defeated Wang Shichong's troops one after another.
But Wang Shichong is also a leading general, and he can retreat without chaos, and although he is defeated, he will not collapse.
But here Zhao Mingyuan ambushed all his troops, and ordered them to use the banner of Li Mi's Pushan Public Camp.
Wang Shichong thought that Li Mi had also arrived, and he actually attacked him back and forth with Zhao Mingyuan.
How is it possible to win?
Wang Shichong hurriedly retreated, and the army suddenly collapsed, and was followed by Zhao Mingyuan's troops, chasing and killing for more than ten miles, and capturing countless people.
The war was decided, and soon the news of the war flew to the ears of those who followed it.
The name Zhao Mingyuan is finally well-known in the world.
