Chapter 495: Is life exchanged?

The silver light of the moon gently sprinkled from the sky and covered the entire earth. It was not until the night sound of crickets at night, so it seemed particularly quiet. Occasionally, night birds flapped their wings and flew past the sky, and the sound of shaking their wings was so clear. The cavalrymen were already asleep wrapped in blankets, and no one talked.

Fang Jie sat under an old tree with a crooked neck and listened quietly to Chen Xiaoru's report.

Chen Xiaoru's voice was hoarse, and it was obvious that these days were really hard.

"I didn't expect this to be the case..."

Chen Xiaoru secretly looked at Fang Jie's face in the moonlight. Perhaps because of the backlight, he saw nothing.

"Not long after the imperial army conquered Xiangcheng, Luo Yao's troops stationed in Sipan Town began to drive eastward. As soon as the left vanguard moved, Kuoke Taimenglie's wolf cavalry also moved. His Majesty asked General Gao Kaitai to lead about 200,000 troops to set up defenses in Qinchuan. Once the left vanguard moves, Gao Kaitai's men will face the Mengyuan wolf cavalry directly. But... no one expected that Kuoke Taimenglie would actually attack the left vanguard."

Although more than ten days have passed, it is obvious that Chen Xiaoru has not yet come back to his senses from his shock.

"After the left vanguard's troops moved out of Sipan Town, the Mongyuan Wolf Cavalry launched an attack on the left vanguard without any warning from the back. More than 200,000 wolf cavalry were divided into three routes, and stabbed into the left vanguard's rear team like a trident. Luo Yao should have never expected that the Mongyuan people would attack him. Even if the elite left vanguard suddenly encountered an attack, it would immediately become chaotic. It was just that Luo Yao mobilized the troops to stabilize the position. Gao Kaitai's army rushed over from the other side. The left vanguard was attacked from both sides and retreated. It is said that the left vanguard lost nearly half of his troops in this battle, and Luo Yao suffered a great loss."

"After Quaktémonlie succeeded in a sneak attack, he kept chasing the left vanguard behind and stuck to kill. The left vanguard had retreated hundreds of miles southward and turned to the side to retreat. If Luo Yao's heavy cavalry camp was not really strong, then the wolf cavalry would have been caught behind and chased by the wolf cavalry, which would have been completely defeated."

"What my subordinates are puzzled is not just why Queke Taimonlie did not capture the back of His Majesty's army but attacked Luo Yao, and they still don't understand the actions of Gao Kaitai's troops. Since that day, he and Queke Taimonlie defeated the left vanguard, the Mongyuan Wolf Cavalry chased the left vanguard, but Gao Kaitai retreated with his men. It is estimated that he has returned to Hedong Road with the assistance of the navy."

After hearing these news, Fang Jie took a deep breath, and his shock was no less than Chen Xiaoru.

He did not expect that the Mongols would launch troops against Luo Yao. Such a turning point was too abrupt and unpredictable.

"Before my subordinates come back, the left vanguard has almost retreated to Mangdang Mountain."

Chen Xiaoru sorted out his words and continued: "If it weren't for the sudden attack of the Mongol Wolf Cavalry, Luo Yao's hundreds of thousands of troops would have arrived in Luoshui. However, it seems that Gao Kaitai seemed to have known that Kuoke Tai Menglie would do this before. He was still in Qinchuan, and he marched for more than 100 miles a day and night and suddenly rushed to the left vanguard side, which happened to form a front-end attack with the Mongol Wolf Cavalry. If it weren't for this, if the elite left vanguard soldiers were facing the enemy head-on, even if Gao Kaitai and Kuoke Tai Menglie joined forces, they might not be able to win."

"emperor……"

Fang Jie's tense expression slowly relaxed a little, and then he breathed a long sigh of relief.

"I finally know what the emperor's move is. No one would have thought of this move... It was obviously a helper invited by Li Yuanshan, but at the most critical moment it turned into a steel knife borrowed by His Majesty."

Fang Jie sorted out the thoughts in his mind and couldn't help but shake his head: "No matter when the emperor started to arrange this move, it would be heavy enough for Luo Yao to attack Li Yuanshan. Li Yuanshan had been planning for so long and Luo Yao had planned for so long, but he didn't even calculate that the emperor would join forces with the Mongolian Yuan people... This is something that Li Yuanshan and Luo Yao would never think about. That is the Emperor of the Great Sui Dynasty. How could he form an alliance with the Mongolian Yuan barbarians?"

Zhuo Buyi, who was sitting on the side, only recovered a little, with a solemn face: "It is indeed beyond everyone's expectations, because no one will think about this aspect at all. Everyone thinks that anyone can join forces with the Mongolian Yuan people, but the emperor cannot... But because of this impossible, the emperor suppressed both opponents in an instant."

He patted his face a few times, still unable to believe that the news was true.

"When did the Emperor of the Great Sui Dynasty discuss with the Mongols and Yuan people? Why did he join forces with the Mongols and Yuan people?"

Wanyan Chongde couldn't understand why the situation suddenly turned out like this. Why did he suddenly become an ally of an illusion even though he was an irreconcilable enemy?

"When the impossible becomes possible, there is only one reason to make it complete."

Fang Jie sighed: "That is, His Majesty the Emperor and the Mongols have found common interests, so it cannot be natural. Perhaps, the emperor had already arranged all this before he came out of Chang'an City, rather than a decision that he made after he arrived in the northwest."

Chen Xiaoru suddenly smiled: "Along the way, I was fantasizing about what Luo Yao would look like at that time. No one has ever been able to plot against him for so many years, and no one has ever been able to take the victory from the left vanguard, but this time he was defeated..."

Fang Jie said huh: "From the news we have learned now, although Luo Yao seems to have been in the game, he has not been in the game. He said he is in the game because he is the one who has promoted the decisive battle between the imperial army and the rebels. He said he is not in the game because he can withdraw from it anytime and anywhere. But suddenly, this outsider who has the greatest initiative suddenly became the common enemy of the people in the game. What if Luo Yao uses his troops like a god?"

He stood up and looked at Dongfang: "Once Li Yuanshan knows this news, I am afraid that the situation in Xiping City will also change."

...

...

Xiping City

With a loud bang, the food that had just been sent into the house was thrown out, and the porcelain plate was smashed in the yard, and the fried vegetables were sprinkled all over the floor.

"roll!"

An extremely angry roar came from the room, followed by several people wearing eunuchs costumes stumbled out from the inside, and their faces were pale. They didn't even dare to look back, for fear that they would be swallowed up by the murderous aura of the overflowing of the angry person in the room. People outside didn't know what was wrong with Dingxi King. Although they looked in a bad mood, they didn't get angry. Until General Shi Lei hurried in, Dingxi King's anger seemed to immediately rise.

"Little man!"

Wow

I don’t know if it’s a cup or a teapot, but I can’t escape the anger of Dingxi King, it seems that he can only use these things to vent his anger.

"Don't let go of anger"

General Shi Lei carefully advised him.

"Stop the anger?!"

Li Yuanshan, wearing a black embroidered dragon king robe, kicked the table over: "First it was Luo Yao, then Queke Taimenglie, all of them are despicable villains! After Luo Yao made way out of Sipan Town, if he came to Xiping City to encircle Yang Yi, how could the Mongols stab him from the back? It only means that he did not intend to come to Xiping City at all, but planned to march eastward! Queke Taimenglie was even more shameless. He had been eating the lonely and holding the lonely for the past three years, but at the critical moment he became the lonely enemy!"

Li Yuanshan's face was extremely hard to see, and his anger spread from his eyes: "In the past three years, I have spent countless money and food to support the enemy!"

"Father, don't be angry."

Li Xiaoche hurried forward and helped Li Yuanshan sit down on the chair: "Father, it's not too late to know the true face of Queke Taimenglie now. It may not be a good thing for us to stab the knife on Luo Yao's back. At least, Queke Taimenglie did not directly attack us."

Li Yuanshan shook his head: "Che'er... What you said makes sense, but how could you not be angry if you have been in trouble for three years of hard work? Gu worked hard to manage the northwest for only today. He thought that his great cause would be accomplished, but he didn't expect that such a result would be. If Luo Yao and Kuoke Taimenglie did not betray his faith, Gu would now have Yang Yi's head in his hand!"

He stomped his feet heavily: "For the past three years, Gu has been planning hard and everything is under Gu's expectations. However, he didn't expect Yang Yi to join forces with the Meng Yuan people... Gu knew that Luo Yao was unreliable, so he did not intend to let Luo Yao enter the game from the beginning. Gu just took advantage of Luo Yao's power. Even if Luo Yao did not traitor, Gu would have to get rid of this person sooner or later. Gu just regretted that he had mistakenly believed the Meng Yuan barbarian!"

Shi Lei was silent for a while and said, "Lord, my subordinates just can't figure out how Yang Yi reached an agreement with Queke Taimonlie? When did they contact each other? And why did Queke Taimonlie choose to stand with Yang Yi?"

"Why?"

Li Yuanshan sneered: "It's not because of interests..."

He said sadly: "I underestimated Yang Yi and underestimated Kuoke Taimeng Ge..."

"I still don't understand"

Shi Lei asked: "When Mengge sent Quak Tai Menglie to lead his army into the pass, was he already preparing for what we are today? If so, then what is Mengge's purpose?!"

"Make the Central Plains more chaotic!"

Li Yuanshan replied: "I only understand the intention of Queke Taimeng Ge, and also understand Yang Yi's intention... Humph, as the emperor of the Sui Dynasty, Yang Yi did not hesitate to use the enemy's hands to achieve his goals. With this, he is far inferior to the emperors of the Yang family. The Yang family has always claimed that he would rather die in battle than compromise with the enemy, but Yang Yi broke this rule, so what if he wins once? The Yang family will be infamous for him!"

When he said this, he completely forgot that he brought the Mongyuan Wolf Rider into the northwest.

"Father, the child is ignorant"

Li Xiaoche was puzzled: "The child still doesn't understand why Queke Taimeng did this, and why Yang Yi did this."

"Gou just said..."

A hint of hatred flashed in Li Yuanshan's eyes: "If you think about it carefully, it's not difficult to guess why Mengge did this. If nothing unexpected happens, Yang Yi had reached an agreement with Mengge before leaving Chang'an. Kuoke Tai Menglie did not have the courage to reach a negotiation with Yang Yi without the consent of Mengge, so Gu now understands why Yang Yi had to wait two years before he was deployed to the northwest... In the past two years, he must have sent someone to secretly negotiate with Mengge. Gu began to think that Yang Yi wanted to mobilize his troops to prepare well, and it turned out that he had started planning for today's knife two years ago."

He sighed long and said, "The reason why Mengge is like this is because he wants to make the Central Plains more chaotic. He doesn't want to see any side irreversible victory. Gu, Yang Yi, Luo Yao... Kuoketai Menglie led his army to fight Luo Yao first because he thinks Luo Yao is the strongest. Gu and Yang Yi have the decisive battle. No matter who wins and loses, they will lose their strength. Luo Yao is the only one who gains. Mengge doesn't want a strong opponent in Zhongyuan, and he doesn't have the ability to conquer this country, so he plans to disrupt this country."

"Gu doesn't know what Mengge and Yang Yi have traded, but Gu is sure that Yang Yi sent someone to contact him because he saw through Mengge's thoughts."

"What should we do?"

Li Xiaoche asked anxiously.

"what to do?"

Li Yuanshan murmured and repeated it, then stood up suddenly: "Gu suddenly thought of something!"

"What?"

"Yang Yi... This is to exchange his life with Gu!"
