Chapter 184 Familiar Armor
As Zhao Zhongtian regained Taizhou, Tang Xing'an's war on the eastern front had basically ended, and Longtai County had also been recovered.
However, Tang Xing'an, who had clearly won the battle, could not be happy at all. He sat in his large tent of the Chinese army with a sad face and looked at a secret letter in his hand from time to time.
Tang Xing'an's unhappiness came because although he regained the city, the Gyeonggi army also lost nearly 10,000 troops one after another. He had not many troops under his command. Now, including the reinforcements transferred from Liuzhou, the full force was less than two.
Thousands of people.
Secondly, it was because of this secret letter sent privately from the Yuwen family, asking Tang Xing'an to try his best to monitor the actions of Chenyue and the Liangzhou generals, especially whether there was anything wrong with Chenyue's contacts with Zhao Zhongtian and Shangguan Tailei.
.
Although Tang Xing'an took refuge in the Yuwen family, he still believed that he was a pure soldier in his heart and did not want to get involved in political affairs. Relying on the Yuwen family was just a last resort to protect himself.
Moreover, the several Liangzhou generals he came into contact with, whether they were Bu Wenshan or Ye Xiaoxiao, he could see that they were not treacherous villains, but also brave generals fighting for the country. The Liangzhou soldiers were also good men. Tang Xingan really didn't want to stand.
On the opposite side of Liangzhou generals.
But when he thought about the power of the Yuwen family in the court, he couldn't help but refuse to agree. Today he rejected them, and tomorrow he would replace his edict and probably send it to the south. In the blink of an eye, a more obedient general would come to lead the army.
"Alas!" Tang Xing'an, who had been thinking hard for a long time, sighed deeply and said to himself: "Let's take it one step at a time. I will hide if I can. If I can't hide, I will find something insignificant to report.
"
Among the two generals of the east and west armies, one had a sad face after being defeated, and the other still had a sad face after winning. They really can't help themselves in the court.
Within a few days, the military reports from Zhao Zhongtian and Tang Xing'an reached the Liangzhou Camp in the middle. At this moment, Chen Yue had just returned to the camp. Under Chen Yue's strict order, the news of the annihilation of the Fuzhou Cavalry was temporarily suppressed.
, only a group of high-ranking generals in the army knew.
"Look, we seem to have been tricked by King Fu." Chu Yucheng shook the two military reports in his hand and said with a slightly self-deprecating smile: "I didn't expect that under this situation, King Fu would still have the intention to send troops to defeat the Yangzhou Army.
.”
Zhao Zhongtian's military report briefly mentioned the incident of the attack. He only mentioned that he encountered a large number of reinforcements from Fuzhou and suffered heavy casualties in the fighting. However, he wrote about the recovery of Taizhou City, how to fight in bloody battles and how to attack the city. In short, he concealed the truth.
But what he didn't expect was that the astute Chen Yue and Chu Yucheng could see the weirdness in the military report at a glance.
Chenyue took the military report and glanced at it, and said with some surprise: "Prince Fu's reinforcements? It's interesting. Combined with the attack on the grain road in Xiangping Pass, Prince Fu has played a chess game! I'm afraid those 10,000 cavalry
The army was sent out deliberately. They originally wanted to delay us, but they didn't expect to be directly annihilated by us."
King Fu never expected that Ouyang Jing's movement was indeed loud enough to completely attract the attention of the Liangzhou Army, and did not pay any attention to the movement in the direction of Taizhou. Unfortunately, he did not expect that the Liangzhou Cavalry Army would dispatch in large numbers and directly annihilate him.
of ten thousand cavalry.
Speaking of Xiangping Pass, Chen Yue and Chu Yucheng's eyes dimmed for a moment, and they thought of Ling Zhen's death in battle again, feeling quite sad.
"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore." Chu Yucheng suppressed his grief and changed the topic: "Now it seems that our side of Liangzhou is making the slowest progress among the three armies. Luzhou City has not yet been captured.
.Do you think we can attack the city on a large scale in these two days?"
"No need! I have my own way to capture Luzhou City." Chenyue suddenly had a fierce look in his eyes and waved his hand.
Chu Yucheng was stunned and said with doubts on his face: "What can you do to persuade him to surrender? This Xiao Qiu is a general under King Fu. Do you still expect him to surrender? He didn't surrender after the battle in Lingzhou. What's wrong with Luzhou now?
It is also the place where he started, so surrender is even more impossible."
Chenyue waved his hand and shouted outside the tent: "Shangwen, bring the things in!"
Immediately, there was a flash of figures outside the tent, and Xiao Shangwen walked in with a pile of armors in his arms and placed them directly on the wooden table inside the tent.
Chu Yucheng gave a strange look at Chen Yue who was laughing, then strode forward and opened the pile of armors. He saw that both the armor and the cloak were brown, and there was a mask with evil eyes placed next to the armor.
.
Chu Yucheng's eyes suddenly widened, and he turned to look at Chenyue in surprise.
"How's it going? Does it look familiar?" Chen Yue said with a smile.
"Isn't this the uniform of the most elite cavalry under King Fu? Aren't all the thousands of cavalry in the battle at Xiangping Pass annihilated by you? This armor?" Of course Chu Yucheng remembered this kind of armor, which he wore in the river.
The battle between the Blood Devouring Guard and the trapped camp outside Fucheng left a deep impression on Chu Yucheng, Yan Hongyi and other generals.
"Hehe, even though this man is dead, the armor is still useful!" Chen Yue suddenly smiled strangely.
Chu Yucheng reacted instantly and said in shock: "You don't want to pretend to be the Fuzhou Army and enter the city, do you?"
"Why not?" Chen Yue asked, and then said with some regret: "It's a pity that many armors were broken during the war. I barely found more than two thousand usable ones, and I brought them back.
.”
Chu Yucheng suddenly realized: "No wonder you blocked the news of the annihilation of the Fuzhou Cavalry as soon as you came back. Luzhou City was besieged for many days, and Xiao Qiu in the city probably didn't know anything about it."
A triumphant smile appeared on Chen Yue's face.
"This ghost mask is really a good thing. No one can recognize it when it is placed on the face." Chu Yucheng looked at the smiling Chen Yue and couldn't help but rolled his eyes, and then picked up the scarlet mask on the table and looked at it.
Chenyue pointed at the mask: "It is said that these five thousand people killed Yuwen Chenghua's tens of thousands of troops and were completely defeated. Judging from the battle at Xiangping Pass, the fighting power was indeed very strong. I believe that the Luzhou defenders saw
This cavalry army will attack the city without any scruples."
"Who to send?" Chu Yucheng put down the mask in his hand and asked.
"Of course it's Shanzi Camp." Chen Yue spread his hands and said helplessly: "Xue Meng pestered me several times on the way back, saying that I must give him this opportunity to kill the enemy."
Chu Yucheng's mind quickly began to think about specific action plans. Chen Yue naturally knew Chu Yucheng's habits and stayed quietly aside without saying a word.
Ever since Yu Jin sneaked into Lingzhou City and was killed by Nangong Yu, Chu Yucheng had been hit hard, and his future plans became more cautious and tried to be comprehensive.
After a long time, Chu Yucheng finally relaxed his brows and said to Chen Yue who was sitting quietly aside: "Call Xue Meng over quickly. I have to go over the details with him!"
Seeing Chu Yucheng's serious look, Chen Yue made a gesture to Xiao Shangwen who was standing aside, and Xiao Shangwen immediately ran out to find Xue Meng.
