Chapter 527 It seems that the commander is preparing to besiege the city to help
Chapter 527
Liu Changgong's face turned dark immediately. He couldn't help but pick up the pot.
The problem is that the other party didn't know the truth at all, so he continued to ask.
"Otherwise, this general will hand over the letter asking for help to General Liu, and the general will rush back to the east capital to die."
Liu Changgong's face was no longer just black, but black with green in it.
I went there before and was kicked back. Now I go to Luokou Cangcheng again. What if Yang Qian gets angry and kills me without saying a word?
Back then, when he led 25,000 elite troops to conquer Li Mi, he was able to survive alone when the entire army was wiped out because he escaped as soon as he encountered danger.
"Go ahead, I'm about to rush back to Dongdu and have something important to report to His Majesty." Liu Changgong snorted and went straight back to the carriage.
I really want to live in peace and contentment until my children and grandchildren are all around me, so that I can enjoy my life in peace, so whoever really wants me can go.
That Yang Qian was very difficult to deal with at first glance, and he was so stupid at the time that he agreed to embark on this errand.
Now it seems that it was Duan Da, the old dog, who had no good intentions.
Then, the group of people continued to move toward the Eastern Capital in a mighty manner, leaving behind the few messengers who were looking at each other.
"General Liu seems to be very unhappy. Could it be that he went to Luokou Cangcheng and had a conflict with Yang Liushou before?"
"No matter what we do, we are only responsible for asking Yang Liushou for help. Don't ask about other things. Let's go!"
When he received a letter asking for help from Dongdu, Yang Qian had to gather civil and military forces again.
"Li Mi has mobilized all his troops, and there is a high probability that he will also know the news of His Majesty's death.
Therefore, if he can seize the opportunity to conquer the Eastern Capital and proclaim himself emperor, it is the right time."
"Nowadays, the Wagangzhai Army can be regarded as the strongest force in the world besides our Jiangdu Army."
"If we sit back and watch them take Dongdu and stay behind, it will be really detrimental to our Jiangdu army."
Li Jing, as the most mature military strategist under Yang Qian's command, everyone present had to admit that this analysis made sense.
"What General Li said is true. In addition, there is another aspect: stay behind and raise troops to ask for reinforcements from the Eastern Capital.
At least from an emotional perspective, it is equivalent to giving an explanation to those military and civilian officials who are still loyal to the court."
Seeing that none of the civil and military officials objected, even Pei Xingyan stood up and spoke in a deep voice.
"Although the general doesn't like those people in Dongdu, we still have to save the people of Dongdu after all."
"General Pei's words make sense. That's the truth."
"In this case, I can no longer dig at Sosou. In addition to leaving behind 20,000 soldiers and horses, there are also 30,000 prisoners of war."
"Other soldiers and horses, follow me out of the city. By the way, take the ten Wanjun Thunderbolt Chariots that I prepared earlier with you."
"Commander, we are going to a field battle, why are you bringing those siege weapons?" Luo Shixin couldn't help but asked loudly.
Li Jing reacted immediately, his eyes lit up and he said cheerfully, "It seems that the commander is preparing to lay siege to the city and call for reinforcements."
"That's right, we won't go to Dongdu and will directly return to Luocang City.
I want to see if that city with its small walls and low walls returns to Luocang City and is attacked, whether Li Mi dares to continue to attack the Eastern Capital and ignore it."
#####
Xiyuan, the royal garden of the Eastern Capital of the Sui Dynasty, covers an extremely large area, almost as huge as two Eastern Capitals.
It is dotted with rare ancient and giant trees, exotic flowers and plants, and various animals.
There were also many palace officials and imperial guards stationed and patrolling, keeping ordinary people away.
At this moment, the place is already in a mess, and many precious ancient trees have been cut down, becoming fuel for cooking by the soldiers and horses of Wagang Village who won the victory.
As for rare and exotic animals, they have all become delicacies in the mouths of soldiers and horses in Wagang Village.
Li Mi was staying in one of the luxurious palaces at this moment.
At this moment, he had taken off his armor and blood-soaked clothes, and the accompanying doctors were cleaning his wounds and bandaging the arrow wounds.
Today, the officers and soldiers of the imperial court who are stationed here are very tenacious. Although there are many soldiers, horses and people in Wagang Village, they still have insufficient armor and poor training.
Several times he almost broke through the defense line of the officers and soldiers, but was blocked again. Finally, Li Mi became furious and personally led an elite attack with his followers. Only then did he penetrate the defense line of the officers and soldiers, and finally defeated the 30,000 soldiers guarding Xiyuan.
Court officers and soldiers.
However, it was precisely because of this battle that Li Mi was unlucky enough to be injured several times, including two arrows that happened to pass through a gap in his armor...
Fortunately, one arrow only hurt the shoulder. If it had been tilted three inches to the left, it would have been a fatal place for the throat.
Li Mi secretly cursed his bad luck that he was shot when he just started charging into the battle.
At that time, if he retreated, his army's morale and morale would be greatly depleted, and it might lead to another rout that could last thousands of miles.
But now he can't lose, so he can only grit his teeth and persevere until victory, so that he can have time to heal his wounds.
Previously, in order to twist the Wagangzhai army together into a single rope, he had no choice but to chop Zhai, the other largest hilltop in the Wagangzhai.
In this way, all the troops in Wagang Village can be intimidated and orders can be unified. In this way, all the troops in Wagang Village can finally be brought under their command.
However, the soldiers' hearts changed, and many people were both afraid and resentful of their method of exterminating Zhai Rang's family.
In order to appease people's hearts and boost morale, Li Mi decided to capture Luokou Cangcheng, the largest granary, and buy people's hearts with a large amount of baggage and grain.
He was originally determined to win the city of Luokoucang. When Yang Qian's tens of thousands of troops rushed forward, nearly a hundred thousand men and horses just rolled and crawled away.
It is really a great loss of vitality. What is important is that those leaders who originally feared and hated their own methods are becoming more and more obedient.
But at this time, I didn't dare to use too strong methods to avoid the separation of people's hearts.
But later, the elite division led by Pei Renji and his son, who succeeded Zhang Xutuo, also caused Li Mi and many leaders of Wagang Village to suffer losses one after another.
Fortunately, the guys in Dongdu's Xiaochaoting were jealous of their talents and appointed Xiao Huaijing as the supervisor, causing the more than 30,000 arrogant soldiers to complain.
It also made coach Pei Renji and his son feel very sad, and they were dissatisfied with the gangsters in Dongdu who only knew about intrigues.
Coincidentally, his subordinate Jia Runfu happened to have an old friendship with Pei Renji and his son, so he sent someone from Jia to sneak into Pei Renji's camp to persuade him.
As a result, Pei Renji and his son had already made a move, and may not want to betray the court so easily and leave a bad reputation.
So I decided to move back to Hulao Pass and make further plans.
They originally thought they could win with certainty, but in the end, Yang Qian showed up again and sent his subordinate Changsun Wuji to persuade Pei Renji and his son to give up their original plan.
Li Mi has long been looking forward to the arrival of the father and son, as well as the 30,000 elites. If they come to invest, they will definitely become a great help to his subordinates, and they will also be able to greatly shock the heroes of Wagang Village.
But in the end, only more than 5,000 people came. This result was really unsatisfactory.
