Chapter 649 Since this is the case, then Luo should not take a detour
Chapter 649
Li Xiuning looked at Yuchi Jingde and Luo Shixin in front of her, and her eyes once again fell back on the letter in her hand... which must have been at least ten pages of her husband's handwritten letter.
Fortunately, Li Shimin, the second husband of the Li family, was very understanding and knew that his third sister didn't like to enjoy the private conversations between her husband and herself when someone was interfering.
He quickly assumed the responsibility of a personal soldier and stepped forward to take the two heavy cavalry generals aside to chat, leaving Li Xiuning alone with the time to admire her husband's writing.
The letter was full of deep affection and words of love that made people blush, accounting for two-thirds of it... Even with Li Xiuning's unique cold and arrogant character, she couldn't help but feel happy and sweet in her eyes.
The first thing I like to see is my husband's handsome face. Unfortunately, now that they are leading the army, it is rare to have time to see them.
The second is that I like to read my husband's eloquently written love letters. Every time, there are so many sultry and overflowing emotional words, which always make people's hearts flutter and leave a long aftertaste.
Li Shimin, who was chatting with a bunch of rough guys, accidentally looked back, and sure enough, he saw his frosty-faced, arrogant sister with a sweet smile and infinite gentleness.
Show it to your brother-in-law.
Li Shimin sighed and shook his head. Even his biological brother had never received such treatment. It seems that if you ask your sister what is important in the world, your brother-in-law must be the best in everything.
Hmm... The affection and flavor emanating from your husband's letters are more likely to get you drunk than the alcohol. After a long while, Li Xiuning calmed down the smile and gentleness on her face, and reluctantly calmed down her mood.
.
The important thing is that on the last page of the letter, my lovely and talented young man mentioned that he should try to weaken the army of Luo Yi, the general manager of Youzhou, so that after the decisive battle at Jincheng Palace, he would not
As for dispatching troops and horses to support Shanxi, it was too difficult.
"Haha, young man, are you looking down on me?" Li Xiuning's lips curved slightly in an extremely arrogant manner, and she folded the letter carefully.
Later, I will keep this letter in a safe place and read it again in the dead of night to relieve my worries about lovesickness.
#####
Luo Yi, the general manager of Youzhou, is also a very decisive and heroic person. Once he makes a decision, he will do it immediately without any delay and will never think twice before making a decision.
After confirming that he should share the honor and disgrace with Dou Jiande's Xia Kingdom and fight against the powerful opponent of the Zhenfu Army, he personally led an elite division and began to go south, leaving behind only an old base of 20,000 to 30,000 men to guard the territory.
Thirty thousand elite cavalry and 20,000 elite infantry came out. These were all elite veterans of the Sui Dynasty who had been trained for a long time. Even if they were not as good as Zhang Xutuo's subordinates back then, they were not far behind.
These elites were Luo Yi's capital to establish a foothold in the North, and Luo Yi did not, like Dou Jiande, pull a farmer and put a gun in his arms to claim to have an extra soldier.
After all, Luo Yi was from the regular army of the Sui Dynasty. He knew very well that even ten such peasant soldiers would be difficult to defeat two well-trained elite veterans. Even though he had 70,000 to 80,000 troops under his command, if Dou Jiande dared to lead
With half a million Daxia elites coming, he dared to... well, he dared to rely on the city's defense.
After all, he still has a lot of heavy ordnance left over from the Sui Dynasty, such as the Wanjun Thunder Chariot, and there are still a lot of them in his inventory.
It's a pity that he is now assisting Dou Jiande instead of attacking the city. Such a powerful weapon can only be left to stabilize the city defense of his own territory. He does not want this thing to fall into the hands of Dou Jiande.
After all, we are all grasshoppers on the same rope now, but Dou Jiande, the grasshopper, is stronger than himself. After repelling the Zhenfu army, what if the King of Great Xia suddenly discovers that the land of Youyan is quite dangerous?
It is suitable to serve as the cornerstone of his Daxia Kingdom.
Then he would forcefully accept the next batch of Wanjun Thunderbolt Chariots. By then, wouldn't he be giving Dou Jiande a knife to poke his own ass?
Naturally, Luo Yi would not do a deal that was not cost-effective... He traveled all the way south, and continued south after leaving Youzhou. Five days ago, the army entered Hejian County. Outside Wen'an County in the north of Hejian County, they saw
When the envoys sent by Dou Jiande arrived, they also presented a batch of luggage and gifts.
I also learned from the envoys that Tang Wang Yang Qian's army was advancing towards Jincheng Palace step by step. It was at least 100,000 to 150,000 elite troops. The king of Daxia, Dou Jiande, had to concentrate on confronting him and could not come to greet him in person.
Luo Yi's reinforcements.
"Ten to 150,000 soldiers and horses?" Luo Yi couldn't help but take a deep breath, and it suddenly dawned on him. After all, although he had never had face-to-face contact with the Zhenfu Army, he was at any rate an excellent Sui general.
He was still quite concerned about Yang Qian, who had been crowned king but always regarded himself as a loyal minister of the Sui Dynasty, and his power.
"The fighting power of the Zhenfu Army is extraordinary. If it were not so, it would not be able to win consecutive battles in the Central Plains. No wonder King Xia is so cautious."
After hearing Luo Yi's words that seemed to be talking to himself, but were actually explaining to his subordinates, Wang Cong, the secretary of Daxia Junior High School, secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
After thinking about it, I decided to act according to the plan that King Xia had told me before. "Now that the chief steward has arrived in Wen'an, I would like to ask the chief steward to rest for a day before heading south along the Tuo River..."
"Tuoshui?" Luo Yi raised his eyebrows slightly. "What does Wang Zhongshu mean by this? Now King Xia is confronting the Zhenfu army in Jincheng Palace. If our army goes west and then goes south along the Tuoshui River, the time will be delayed for at least several days.
."
"Could it be that King Xia is confident that he can fight against the enemy? If that's the case, why would Luo bother to make a superfluous request?"
Wang Cong's face suddenly looked a little embarrassed and he said, "The general manager has misunderstood. The main reason is that although the main force of the Suppression and Fu Army is approaching Jincheng Palace, it has also dispatched a cavalry to harass the hinterland of our Hejian Mansion."
"If the General Manager goes directly south, he will most likely be blocked by the enemy, which will actually slow down his journey."
"A cavalryman, why doesn't King Xia order soldiers and horses to attack him and put an end to this kind of disaster?" Luo Yi said in astonishment, then he suddenly hit his head and realized. "It must be that King Xia is currently concentrating on dealing with the main force of the Suppression Army, and it is difficult to distract him.
flat."
Wang Cong looked at the Youzhou manager who liked to make up his own mind. He didn't even explain. The Youzhou manager himself provided sufficient reasons. He was really convinced.
"The Grand Steward is wise, and I ask the Grand Steward to understand my Lord's difficulties..."
"Does Wang Zhongshu know how many soldiers and horses there are?" Luo Yi asked, stroking his thick beard under his chin.
"This..." Wang Cong thought of Xia King Dou Jiande's explanation, which was to try his best to downplay this cavalry harassing the rear. Otherwise, hundreds of thousands of people in Daxia Kingdom would huddle in the city and could only wait helplessly for the Suppression and Fu Army to attack.
Coming to the door, where is the national prestige of Daxia?
Wang Cong could only bite the bullet and continue. "I heard that it was a cavalry of the Zhenfu Army. It should have also recruited some stragglers who were unwilling to be ruled by me, Daxia. Now I, Daxia, are about to conquer Zhenfu in one fell swoop.
The main force of the army gathered under the Jincheng Palace to be annihilated, so you just..."
Hearing this, Luo Yi, as an outstanding former Sui general and now one of the powerful men in the North, smiled casually, stroking his thick beard. "In this case, Luo should not take a detour."
"???"
