Great Qi Dynasty 03

As soon as these words came out, everyone was taken aback, and immediately there were boos in the hall, and then all the soldiers began to discuss. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

Xie Tong couldn't hide the horror in his heart, according to him, although Song Wenyuan was arrogant, but he still had self-knowledge, he was by no means Zhu Wen's opponent, the best way was to give up Jinan and join forces with Sima Xiangru to defend Xiangyang, this is the wisest choice, that is, to preserve the strength, and to help Sima Xiangru, and the current defeat will undoubtedly make the Tang army worse, I am afraid that it will be a real victory in the future.

Yuwen Yishuo continued, "Zhu Wen won successive victories in the south of the Yangtze River and the Central Plains, if nothing else, he will meet with Luoyang in Huangchao in the near future, not to ask what the future situation of Luoyang is, we must wake up immediately, Tongguan is the last line of defense of the capital, if Tongguan is broken, Chang'an will directly leak into the enemy's attack range, from now on, Tongguan implements a curfew, only opens and closes the mouth for two hours a day, strictly checks the passers, etc., and finds suspicious people to take it immediately."

"Yes," everyone replied in unison.

Yuwen Yishuo continued, "Twelve scouts are sent every day, and they report to the general once every hour, and there must be no mistakes. ”

After the emergency meeting, Xie Tong was extremely angry in his heart, he didn't know what to say, the situation was even more delicate, he almost dared to assert that Sima Xiangru must not be the opponent of the righteous army, and it was a matter of time before Luoyang City was broken.

Sima Xiangru is not far from Song Wenyuan, Song Wenyuan is still a general with some experience, Sima Xiangru is just a vase at most, compared with Zhu Wenxiang, it is simply a world of difference, not the same, but he can't watch Luoyang City break like this and be indifferent.

Thinking of this, he turned back to the meeting room again.

Yuwen saw Xie Tong go and return, and said with a stern face, "Brother Xie, is there anything wrong?"

Xie Tong said, "The soldiers of Tongguan are full of food, and they don't dare to act rashly against Tongguan before they come to Huangchao to conquer Luoyang!"

Without waiting for him to continue, Yuwen Yishuo said, "Brother Xie doesn't have to persuade me, I have made up my mind, the first thing is to ensure that Tongguan is foolproof, and the rest is not within my full responsibility!"

Xie Tong smiled and said, "Xie knows Brother Yuwen's determination, and he is not here to persuade Brother Yuwen to send troops to rescue, the younger brother has 15,000 men and horses in his hands, but the old department of Xiangyang, I hope that Brother Yuwen can allow the younger brother to lead the army out of the city."

Yuwen Yishuo looked at Xie Tong in disbelief, and said, "Brother Xie, what do you mean by this, are you crazy? There are no less than 300,000 enemy troops under Luoyang City, and even Sima Xiangru is closed without a fight, holding on to help, what can you do with just 10,000 horses!"

Xie Tong said, "Of course the little brother will not be stupid to resist the enemy, it is estimated that it is not enough to even plug the gap between his teeth."

Yuwen Yishuo was puzzled, "Then what are you going to do?"

Xie Tong smiled bitterly and said, "Sneak attack the grain and grass, do something harassing!"

Yuwen Yishuo said, "Okay, I know that Brother Xie cares about the country and is not willing to be lonely, Brother Fool is giving you 5,000 men and horses, all of them will be changed to cavalry, and go to complete your mission!"

Xie Tong was overjoyed, he never thought that Yuwen Yishuo would be so generous, he was a cautious and meticulous person, but he was able to do so, he had already given him enough face, and said busily, "Thank you Brother Yuwen, little brother is grateful!"

Yuwen Yishuo smiled and said, "Brother Fool is a stubborn person, a person like a brother who moves the world should be vigorously supported, but in my bones, I refuse to take risks in a conventional way, I hope Brother Xie will be considerate and go to order soldiers!"

Xie Tong hugged his fists again and thanked him.

Yuwen Yishuo said, "Brother is going, you can't fight hard with the enemy, save your strength first, if you are in adversity, you can retreat to Tongguan at any time, and the foolish brother is looking forward to fighting the enemy side by side with you here!"

Xie Tong didn't have too much hypocrisy, he immediately returned to the post house and discussed with his brothers about sending troops.

The matter was discussed very happily, and Xie Tong, Lao Lai, Huo Zixin and Wu Zhiting led 5,000 men and horses respectively and drove to Luoyang together.

The army set off the next day, 20,000 horsemen and horses, all the cavalry, with enough grain and grass, set off from Tongguan, and went to Luoyang.

Huo Zixin rode on horseback and said with a smile, "Xie boy, the last time we fought side by side, it was when we were in the south to conquer Huangchao! At that time, I was still in high spirits, I didn't expect that in just a few years, Huangchao would make a comeback and become a fierce enemy, hey, it's really thirty years in Hedong and thirty years in Hexi!"

Without waiting for Xie Tong to answer, Lao Lai said, "This time is very different from the last time, last time it was an active attack, this time it was a passive defense, Huang Chao has been in Guangzhou for the past few years, has been colluding with Persia, Dashi and other countries in the Western Regions, secretly accumulating strong forces, and getting the support of these surrounding states, otherwise it will expand so quickly, this battle is not easy to fight!"

Huo Zixin said happily, "It doesn't matter if he fights well or not, as long as we play well, it's done!"

Xie Tong sneered and said, "It's easy to say, there are 300,000 horses on the other side, not counting the captured Tang Army, you take your head to fight, and if the Tang Dynasty perishes, Huang Chao becomes the emperor, where do I see you going?"

Huo Zixin said, "How can the Tang Dynasty perish so easily, if it really perishes, Lao Tzu will go back to Tianshan, practice behind closed doors, and break through to the extreme of martial arts as soon as possible." Knock you all to the ground. ”

The crowd burst into laughter.

At this moment, the scouts came to report that a large number of rebels had appeared in front, under the banner of Zhu Zi.

Xie Tong thought about it, he had already reached the periphery of Luoyang in the past few days, he didn't expect to meet Zhu Wen so soon, he came so quickly, it seemed that he was marching in a hurry, and he didn't give Sima Xiangru any time to prepare.

Xie Tong asked, "How many enemy troops are there?"

The scout said, "If you go back to the general, there are about twenty or thirty thousand people, and they are camping. ”

Xie Tong immediately said, "Pass on my order, and the whole army will immediately stop advancing and bypass the right flank!

Wu Zhiting said disdainfully, "Brother Xie, what are you afraid of, there are only twenty or thirty thousand people, which is equivalent to us, kill them directly, let them see how powerful we are!"

Huo Zixin scolded with a smile: "Boy Wu, are you crazy, didn't you see the scout say that there is a vermilion character written on the banner?

Wu Zhiting was puzzled, "So what, is it still a god?"

Huo Zixin talked about the tiger and said, "That's Zhu Wen, you idiot, the invincible Zhu Wen, with our strength, dare to provoke him, it's really a long life."

Since Zhu Wen was defeated in one move in the north of Healthy City, Huo Zixin has always had a shadow in his heart, Zhu Wen is invincible, at least for him now, it is out of reach.

Zhu Wen is admired both in martial arts and military command.

Xie Tong said, "Zhu Wen's martial arts are strong, he uses soldiers like gods, ordinary people are evenly matched, it is difficult to take advantage of him, not to mention the disadvantage of troops, once he discovers the existence of our strange army, it will be difficult to survive!"

Wu Zhiting said: "Isn't it rumored that you led 2,000 people to enter the south of the Yangtze River alone, and repeatedly created miracles along the way?

Huo Zixin smiled dumbly and said, "Young man, this depends on the opponent, the opponent at that time was Shi Jingtang, so he was played by Xie Xiaozi, if he changed to Zhu Wen and lent him ten guts, he would not dare to make a mistake."

Wu Zhiting smacked his lips and said, "Is Zhu Wen so powerful, I must meet him!"

Xie Tong said, "Let's talk about it another day! Pass on my order, and the whole army will immediately hide their whereabouts and bypass Zhu Wen's camp."

Everyone turned over and dismounted, covered the horses' mouths with white cloths, and tried not to let the horses suddenly make a sound, and the 20,000 troops led the horses for two hours before they barely bypassed Zhu Wen's camp defense line and went late to the south of Luoyang.

According to Xie Tong's plan, the army marched south, staying near Luanchuan County, sneaking up and harassing the enemy, in his impression, the garrison of this generation should be in charge of Datuk Venerable Meng Kai or Lu Li, and it was relatively easy to break through. Unexpectedly, Zhu Wen was very far-sighted and sent troops to be stationed in the west of Luoyang City in advance, and his intention could not be more obvious, that is, to prevent reinforcements from the direction of Chang'an, so as not to be caught off guard.

It was already dark, and 20,000 horses rested on the hillside west of Luanchuan County, Xie Tong chewed dry food, and looked at Luanchuan County looming more than ten miles away.

The scouts have already found out that there are 30,000 garrisons in the county, and there are also 10,000 troops in the eastern part of the county.

What he has to do now is to rest, to find out the news, especially the news about grain and grass, thinking that Huang Chao uses human flesh as food, he suddenly lost his appetite.

The army had eaten, and all but the sentries of the guards lay down on the ground to rest.

Xie Tong couldn't sleep, and suddenly had the idea of patrolling, he tidied up his clothes and began to wander around the entire western slope.

The soldiers slept very sweetly, looking at them lying on the ground and sleeping soundly, Xie Tong was a little unbearable, since they joined the army, there was no day of peace, which was inseparable from the chaos in the world.

The decay of the ruling class, forcing the people to rise up, the Yellow Nest is from this moment and holding high the banner, the master is right, the contradiction does not come from the gap between the rich and the poor, the gap between the rich and the poor is only a superficial phenomenon, in the final analysis, it is the difference in class interests, those high nobles, is the permanent beneficiary of this human society, no matter who dominates the world, their rights and identities are unchanged, are the people at the bottom need to admire, the so-called change, is just the emperor changed.

Even if Huang Chao enters Chang'an, dominates the world, and establishes a dynasty, the interests of those nobles will not change.

Xie Tong couldn't help but sigh, if he wanted to change everything, he had to get rid of this hateful clan alliance, and the first thing he thought of was the Sima family and the Song Shi valve. These two families are almost the representatives of the power of the scholar clan, and they are also the pinnacle, two generations, Sima Xuan and Sima Xiangru, Song Kui and Song Wenyuan, are all powerful and famous figures, he can't help but sigh, what a difficult task this is.

Unconsciously came to the camp of Wu Zhiting, he was surprised to find that the guard force here seemed to be weaker, only a few people were standing guard, and the rest of the people were in whose house, and the position of the guard was also not considered, not only easy to leak his own figure, but also difficult to find some places where the enemy scouts were easy to hide, which made him quite unhappy, thinking that Wu Zhiting had never been a general, and it was good to be able to develop like this, he was suddenly relieved in his heart, it seems that there are some things that still have to be taught to him.

Thinking of this, he walked up to the guards and said, "Where is your commander!"

Everyone in the army knows Xie Tong, after all, he is a hero who is famous all over the world, turning his hands into clouds and covering his hands for rain, the guards are busy and solemn, and said, "If you return to the general, your lord is resting under that big tree!"

Xie Tong smiled and walked towards the big tree, there were a few people lying horizontally under the tree, but there was no Wu Zhiting, why did he disappear.

Xie Tong hurriedly woke up the sleeping soldier and said, "Where is the Martial Pavilion!"

The soldier said sleepily, "Back to the general, the military commander is still here, just sleeping next to the villain, hey, why is it gone, it's time to go to Xiaojie!"

He hurriedly released his spiritual sense and probed around, Xiao Xie would not go too far, but in addition to the guards on duty, there were still people.

A strong premonition surged into Xie Tong's heart, Wu Zhiting was no longer nearby, he must have left here, Xie Tong said, "Pass the order, immediately look for Wu Zhiting."

How could this soldier still have the heart to sleep, the commanders were all missing, and the final soldiers immediately followed Xie Tong's instructions and began to look for Wuzhiting.

After half an hour, the entire army was alarmed, but there was no trace of Wu Zhiting.

Lao Lai said, "Where can this kid go! This is the hinterland of the enemy's army, it is dangerous and abnormal, and if there is any mistake, how can we explain it to Nana!"

Huo Zixin said, "This kid is not stupid, and he is very clever, he should know the danger here", suddenly, as if he had thought of something, he said, "He shouldn't have listened to our evaluation of Zhu Wen and went to find trouble with him!"

Lao Lai said: "It shouldn't be! Although Wu Zhiting is a little reckless, he still knows himself, and he shouldn't do such a stupid thing!"

Xie Tong suddenly said, "Don't ask, this kid must have gone." Now listen to my orders, all of them will return to their positions, and Brother Lai will be in charge of commanding. ”

Lao Lai said: "What are you doing? If you want to save it, I will go, how can I let the commander of the three armies go." ”

Xie Tong said euphemistically, "Big brother, it's not that the younger brother doesn't recognize your martial arts, in the face of someone like Zhu Wen, it's the same for any of us to go, but the younger brother still has some friendship, if the martial boy really falls into his hands, he should give me some thin noodles." ”

"No", Lao Lai said firmly, "Wu boy, this is going to assassinate him, no one will give him face, you go in vain, it is better to stay here and command, let's try our luck! Huo boy, come with me."

Huo Zixin said, "Okay! I'll go crazy with you today! Lai, let's go!"

Xie Tong stiffened his face and said, "Nonsense, if you are caught by Zhu Wen, you will definitely die for life, and there is still a glimmer of hope if I go."

Lao Lai wanted to say something, Xie Tong directly interrupted him, and said, "This is an order, big brother, you must carry it out, if I can't come back before dawn! Big brother, you can take your brother back to Tongguan! Come on, lead me with a horse." (To be continued.) )
