Volume 3 Xiongjiu crosses that river with vigor Chapter 144 Luo Cheng's rise

After dividing the troops from two groups, Li Bing led the 200,000 soldiers of the Second Route Army to a small town in front. The small town in front is called Tashan Mountain City. The Liaodong area is indeed mountainous, and Goguryeo has many mountains and deep valleys. Therefore, the Goguryeo people adapted to local conditions and built castles based on the mountain. These cities are not big in themselves. Many of them were built on the mountain. The cities made of stones form a combination of artificial and naturalness. It is said that they are called mountain cities. This is entirely due to the mountainous terrain of the northern part of Goguryeo and the later mountainous terrain of the Korean Peninsula that went south. It is also because of the cities made of these stones that are easier to defend and difficult to attack. This is also an important reason why Goguryeo survived for a full 700 years. There were similar methods of building cities in southwest China. This city building technology was quite distinctive in ancient my country. It also affected the style of city construction in Korea and Japan.

The army has been moving forward for a day. In the evening, Li Bing found an empty place to camp. Over the past few days, Li Bing has held most of the power of the entire army and began to gradually clear out the hidden dangers left over from the past. As military discipline continues to improve, the appearance of the Second Route Army has changed drastically. The already strong elite troops have become more combat-effective due to the strengthening of discipline. Since the last assassination, Li Bing has been much more cautious. With such a huge team, he cannot remember all the soldiers. For him, 99% of these 200,000 soldiers. He didn't know the people, even if it was his direct army, Dingbei Army, it was impossible for him to know all the soldiers, so it was very easy to get one or two assassins in the current situation. What he could do now can only be careful and careful to make sure that he was wearing armor and weapons at all times, and at the same time increased the defense power around him. The personal soldiers around Li Bing were all stunning soldiers who had followed him for many years. With the lesson from the last time, they were almost always following Li Bing. Even when Li Bing was sleeping, someone would take turns patrolling outside his tent.

After setting up camp, Li Bing and his confidants analyzed and sorted out the latest military situation and prepared a plan to break the city. Although Li Bing seems to have mastered the entire Second Route Army at present, a large part of it was because Li Bing superficially obeyed the disciplined requirements. The Second Route Army was composed of several troops, and the local leadership relationship was complicated. It was not that the emperor's appointment could make these people willingly obey your command and work hard for you. Although they He also abides by Li Bing's discipline, but it is not a conflict with their superiors. In their hearts, the superiors' orders are more valuable. Now Li Bing has to do it, that is, on the premise of coordinating his orders with the meaning of their direct bosses, slowly encroaching these forces into his own team. The most important thing is to slowly subdue the generals. Only by letting them work wholeheartedly for themselves can they control the soldiers under their command.

Just as Li Bing and his think tanks were discussing various situations, they were far away from a large tent on the other side of the coach's tent. There were more than ten people secretly gathering. They were discussing something. The person in charge was wearing a big leaf armor inside. He was wearing a white robe outside and was very handsome, but there was a hint of cruelty in his eyes from time to time. It was Luo Cheng, the deputy commander of the Second Route Army. The more than ten generals around him were all the generals who made great contributions because of the last time Luo Cheng defeated Liaoyang City. Luo Cheng gave them a great contribution. They knew that they were grateful and threw themselves into Luo Cheng's tent. Although they were not many, they were also some of the higher-level generals and controlled many soldiers under their command. Luo Cheng also controlled a lot of power in the Second Route Army with these people. However, he saw that Li Bing was in a strong momentum now and Li Bing was a legitimate supreme leader. He also had a little fear of Li Bing. He did not want to have a head-on conflict with Li Bing, so the power he controlled now was hidden in the dark.

"Ship Luo, Li Shuai has gradually established prestige among the soldiers below these days. The show he made in front of Old Marshal He last time for the soldiers has confused a lot of soldiers. Now some of our soldiers are unstable. Shuai Luo, although Shuai Li is still a young man, his methods are not dared to underestimate them. We have to think of some solutions. Even if we no longer continue to develop our own power, we must at least protect our current forces and not be taken away by others!" A general said to Luo Cheng. Judging from his clothes, he was at least a general-level.

"Yes, Luo Shuai, General Lu is right. The current form is not good for us. The young man's methods are simply too powerful. He didn't see any big moves, so the soldiers below admired him and obeyed him. Even our bosses were very difficult to lead. Fortunately, most of my soldiers were soldiers I had been taking for a long time. If someone else came to lead, maybe those soldiers would have already followed the surname Li!" Another general was deeply touched and in line with the words.

"Hmph, what's that!" Luo Cheng said disdainfully, "Dou's methods are old. First, he uses the power of thunder to suppress you, establish his majesty in front of you, and then show a guardian posture in front of the soldiers, making the soldiers cry. This method of winning people's hearts is all kinds of effort. This is called giving you a sweet date to eat with a stick. Alas, although he knows his method, everyone's identity is different, and the effect is different. His previous deeds have spread among the soldiers. In the hearts of ordinary soldiers, he is like a war god. The god in his mind uses this method, and the effect of this method is naturally extraordinary. This person can use his strengths to create opportunities for him just right. To be honest, I am not as good as him!"

"Ship Luo doesn't have to be discouraged. Although our power is not as strong as him, the power we have in our hands is not something he can underestimate now, and we don't have to start a conflict with him head-on. Just expand quietly in secret. But I suggest that Shuai Luo should show some of his strength openly, so that Li Bing dares not make things too difficult for you, so that he will know that you are not easy to bully, so as not to become a big shot in the army alone!" A person under Luo Cheng, who looked like a think tank, saw Luo Cheng's face frustrated and said, everyone said yes. Luo Cheng also thought about it carefully and felt that it was still very reasonable. It is good to develop power in secret, but if he just kept developing silently, he could not tolerate Li Bing riding on his head, so he would expose a small amount of forces first to make Li Bing take some attention. Thinking of this, he nodded and agreed.

Early the next morning, Li Bing woke up from his sleep. After so long, he had always maintained the habit of getting up early. He went out and practiced boxing as usual, and then returned to the tent. At this time, Yuan Baoer also woke up. His personal soldiers knew Yuan Baoer's identity. When they were young, they had seen Li Bing's absurd things. So they were not surprised by such things as taking women into the military camp, but they all stick to their responsibilities and kept them firmly outside, so as not to let others enter the tent, so as to prevent Yuan Baoer's identity from being exposed.

Li Bing helped Yuan Baoer put on his armor and hide his daughter. Then Yuan Baoer hid among his personal soldiers. Li Bing took his personal soldiers to the camp gate and was about to issue an order to depart. After walking two steps, he met Luo Cheng head-on. When Luo Cheng saw Li Bing, he clasped his fists and greeted Li Bing with a smile: "Marson, it's so early to get up!" Li Bing felt a little strange when he saw Luo Cheng taking the initiative to say hello to him, thinking that Luo Cheng had taken the wrong medicine. You must know that Luo Cheng's mind is not so big. Although he muttered in his heart, he still smiled and returned: "

Yes, Deputy General Luo got up very early? Since we met, let's go together!" Luo Cheng nodded with a smile. Although Li Bing was a little puzzled, since he established his authority, Luo Cheng seemed to have surrendered and had no action. Although Li Bing thought Luo Cheng was forbearing, he gradually lost his heart when he saw that he had no expression. Now that he saw Luo Cheng taking the initiative to say hello to him, he guessed that Luo Cheng might have made a move. He was secretly guarded, with a smile on his face, and greeted Luo Cheng intimately while walking.

When they arrived at the commander's tent, after all the generals arrived, they would do the slogan Mao as usual. After the slogan Mao, Li Bing began to issue today's order: "Cook a fire at the 3 o'clock of Mao, and set off on time at Chen Shi!"

As soon as Li Bing finished speaking, he heard Luo Cheng say slowly below: "Marson, I marched for a day yesterday, and the soldiers were a little tired. I think, let's take a day off today!" After saying that, he smiled slightly at Li Bing, and Li Bing was stunned. Unexpectedly, Luo Cheng would suddenly raise a different opinion from him at this time. When he was about to say something, he heard a few voices coming from below:

"Yes, Marshal, Luo Shuai is right. Now the soldiers are so tired!"

"I have been walking on mountain roads these days, and I can't rest well. I walked very quickly. The soldiers were exhausted. Now I have finally arrived on an open flat ground. Let the soldiers rest for one more day. Only by restoring their strength can we fight better!"

"I will discuss it at the end!"

"I will discuss it at the end!"

Li Bing glanced at the audience coldly. Over the past few days, Li Bing's thundering methods still made the generals afraid, so when Li Bing glanced at him, the generals were silent, but they still plucked up the courage to look at Li Bing. Li Bing silently counted in his heart. These people accounted for nearly one-fifth of the proportion. Li Bing looked at Luo Cheng's slightly proud look next to him, and immediately understood Luo Cheng's intention to do this. He remained silent on his face, turned his mind quickly, thinking: "Now we are about to attack Tashan Mountain City, and at this moment, the military strength will be divided.

If it is scattered, it is very unfavorable for siege. I guess Luo Cheng saw this and showed his cards to himself with fearlessness. I am afraid that the people he exposed are not his full strength!" Li Bing thoughtfully and soon thought of this. Given that he could not break up with Luo Cheng at this time, he said in an expressionless tone, "Since all the generals have said this, I will take a rest here according to your ideas and set off tomorrow at the same time!" He secretly remembered the appearance of those exposed generals in his heart, and temporarily compromised with Luo Cheng.
