5-61 Bet

Liu Ying'er's deeds were well known to everyone in the upper echelons of Dazhou. She ran away from home and wandered around the world despite her easily obtained status as a royal concubine. Such an deviant act was placed in the body of a well-known lady. The contrast was so strong that several

A month ago, there was a lot of commotion in the city.

But Hermione and Li Mingxue lived in a distant frontier and had never heard of Liu Ying'er's deeds. They just heard that this person was Liu Songpo's daughter, so they gave a slight hum, because they both knew the origin of Yuan Feng and Liu Songpo.

, I think this woman and Yuan Feng are old acquaintances.

Thinking about this, I feel a little relieved. The two female generals are not the kind of secular women who care about everything. They know the priorities. Now the enemy's elite troops are ambushing outside the city. Is this the time to be jealous, but for Liu Ying'er's Haikou,

But the two of them didn't care. A little girl of seventeen or eighteen years old, even if she was familiar with military books, it wouldn't matter. She was still not a soldier.

Therefore, Hermione and Li Mingxue did not take Liu Ying'er seriously at all, wishfully viewing her as an extremely weak rich lady who liked to brag.

Hermione didn't even look at Liu Ying'er, and directly said to Yuan Feng: "How on earth are you going to fight? You get a charter. Sister Xue and I will take half of each one, and we will surround these eight hundred enemy troops. These thieves

You are so audacious that you dare to take advantage of my happy day to cause trouble. I will tell them today that they will never come back!"

As he spoke, he patted the neck of the war horse next to him affectionately. It was a pink rouge horse, tall and handsome, with bright eyes. Hearing his master's words, he raised his head and hissed in a very humane way.

Yuan Feng said: "Isn't it already decided? Leader Liu will come up with a plan and take this opportunity to kill Lan Yu. We can just follow her plan."

"Her?" Hermione glanced sideways at Liu Ying'er. Liu Ying'er was neither humble nor overbearing, smiling at her, with no hint of timidity or melancholy in her eyes.

"Since Yuan Feng trusts you so much, I will trust you for the time being. If I can win by surprise and defeat Lan Yu without using any weapons, I will reward you with this." Hermione said, taking one from her waist.

The exquisite Hetian jade pendant is shaking in the hand.

"I have many jade pendants like this at home. If the Queen wants to make a bet, she might as well make a big bet." Liu Ying'er said.

Hermione smiled sarcastically: "I wonder what Miss Liu considers a big bet?"

"For example, the rouge horse next to you seems quite valuable to me. Why don't you just keep it?"

Upon hearing this, Hermione gritted her teeth secretly. The eyes of these little hooves were quite poisonous. The Rouge Horse's parents were both the best breeds of Qiang horses. They were the descendants of the champions of the Bashang Grassland Horse Racing Conference. Hermione personally delivered the baby and raised it from an early age.

Not only is he extremely fast and has extraordinary endurance, but he is also extremely understanding of human nature, making him priceless.

But face was important at this time, and Hermione didn't believe that this little girl could come up with any good strategies, so she said cruelly: "Okay, I'll bet on Hongyun!"

The rouge horse named Hongyun seemed to understand this sentence and barked dissatisfiedly. Its huge horse head rubbed its owner's body, seeming to be in a mood.

Hermione patted Hongyun's neck gently and said, "Then what is Miss Liu's pledge?"

Liu Ying'er raised the stick in her hand: "Put this on."

Hermione sneered: "A dog-beating stick that begs for food is worthless."

"Her Majesty the Queen does not know. This is the token of the leader of the Beggar Clan. The green jade staff has been passed down from generation to generation. It looks like a bamboo stick, but it is actually an uncarved jade. It is worth a lot of money. It doesn't matter who has it.

This thing can command half a million beggar gang members. You are right when you say this thing is worthless. Its value cannot be measured in money."

Liu Ying'er's calm words choked Hermione half to death. After all, Li Mingxue was older and acted calmly. At this time, she was standing aside with her arms folded and smiling, watching the fun without helping or interfering.

Yuan Feng coughed dryly and said: "Okay, now it's a war, not a joke. Do you want me to say goodbye to you?"

Liu Ying'er said: "Your Highness, this is no joke. Since ancient times, military orders for military neutrality have been common. Today, Her Majesty the Queen and I make this bet, which is equivalent to issuing a military order. All I have to do is bother the King of Han to bear witness. When the time comes,

Don’t let anyone cheat on you.”

Yuan Feng looked at Hermione, who looked disapproving, so Yuan Feng said: "Okay, it's settled, I'll be your witness!"

Liu Ying'er added: "There is one more thing. You must abide by my orders and cannot disobey them. Otherwise, no matter how good the strategy is, it will be in vain."

Hermione sneered: "Of course."



Outside Luoyang City, the cold wind howls in the wilderness. In a poplar forest, eight hundred elite Zhou troops are ambushed. These generals are all Lan Yu's personal soldiers. They are all skilled in bow and horse, have big arms and round waists, and fight with cold weapons. The most important decision is

The factor is the elite soldiers. The combat effectiveness of these 800 elite soldiers can be said to be better than that of 10,000 poorly trained civilians. Lan Yu has been a general for many years and knows well that elite soldiers are more valuable than more, so he sent only these 800 elite soldiers.

People come here.

As the saying goes, soldiers never tire of deceit. On the one hand, they agreed to the Han army's request for a truce, and on the other hand, they secretly planned a night attack on Luoyang. It was the wedding of the King of Han, so there would definitely be some oversights in Luoyang City's defense. By then, the strong soldiers who had sneaked into the city would take advantage of the darkness of the night to attack Luoyang.

The fire broke out and the city gates were opened secretly. Eight hundred elite soldiers took advantage of the chaos and entered the city. They attacked the palace of the King of Han and killed the central figures of the Han army. There was no need to worry about the unforeseen consequences.

These 800 elite soldiers dressed up in disguise and penetrated into Luoyang through various channels. The Central Plains were open plains with no natural barriers. The Han army's defense line could only prevent large groups of enemy troops, but was completely powerless against such small groups of disguised enemies. Therefore, they unexpectedly

Got mixed in by them.

A gust of wind blew by, and the leaves rustled, but there was no movement among the eight hundred soldiers and horses. There were only pairs of bright eyes looking at Luoyang City in the night.

Suddenly, the city burst into flames, and noises came from far away. A soldier whose face was painted black with pot ash excitedly turned around and reported: "General, there's a fire."

Continue to monitor." The general was sitting on the bench, with a calm expression and the demeanor of a general.

The soldier continued to look with his telescope, then suddenly turned back and whispered in surprise: "General, the city gate is open!"

Suddenly there was a sound, and the general suddenly stood up, got on his horse, drew his sword from its sheath, and shouted in a low voice: "The whole army is on horseback, attack!"

Eight hundred elite soldiers mounted their horses and galloped towards Luoyang City. Everyone's face was smeared with mud and pot ashes, looking like ghosts. With shining weapons in their hands, the eight hundred war horses galloped together in the Central Plains.

The sound on the ground was like thunder, but it was also shocking.

But when we were still a hundred steps away from Luoyang City, the deserted city wall suddenly became brightly lit, with countless muskets and crossbows sticking out from behind the crenellations.

's closed.

The leading general of the Zhou army tightened the reins, raised the front hooves of the war horse, raised its head to the sky and neighed. The general shouted: "No, we have been tricked!" However, it was difficult for the galloping cavalry to stop, and they still rushed towards Luoyang City, making a surprise attack.

It turned into a forceful attack, and the Zhou army had no advantage at all. As long as the opponent opened fire, it would be a one-sided massacre.

One hundred steps was the right distance for firearms shooting. Sure enough, gunfire began to fire from the city wall. For a moment, the sound of gunfire was deafening, smoke filled the air, and arrows were shot down densely. The sound of whooshing was rapid and dense.

The well-trained Zhou Jun tried hard to turn the horse's head and turned away. Each body was hidden in the stirrup to avoid the attacks of projectiles and arrows. Everyone was too busy taking care of themselves that they had no energy to care about others.

A surprise attack failed like this. The Zhou army rushed three miles away before stopping to gather their troops and count the remaining soldiers. There were actually 750 soldiers left among the 800 soldiers. This unexpected surprise made everyone feel relieved. At least Lan Shuai was not frightened.

The foundation of the house was smashed into it.

But Lan Xiaolong, the general who led the army, was full of doubts. That round of strikes could kill at least 200 people, but only fifty people fell. But at this time, he had no time to think about it, because the Han cavalry was already chasing them.

came out.

Without the suddenness, this Zhou army became a piece of meat on the chopping board, ready to be slaughtered. However, Lan Xiaolong would not let his uncle's personal barracks be damaged outside Luoyang City. He resolutely led and left behind a hundred and fifty soldiers.

Ten people blocked the attack, and the rest quickly retreated to Shangqiu.



That night, there was indeed a chaos in Luoyang City. Fires broke out in several places. According to the government, this was caused by improper setting off of fireworks and firecrackers. However, the people could not help but wonder. Many firecrackers had been set off during the day, so why were they set off in the middle of the night?

The loud noise was clearly not firecrackers, but the sound of muskets and artillery.

When there was a night curfew and people were not allowed to go out, no one saw the truth, but for those who were interested, there was no secret.

At the entrance of the Han Dynasty's palace, there was a three-story teahouse. Two ordinary-looking middle-aged people were sitting on the seats near the window. They were drinking tea and chatting while looking towards the palace intentionally or unintentionally.

There is scaffolding erected at the gate of the palace, and seven or eight craftsmen are painting it. This gate has obviously been freshly painted, so why does it need to be painted again? If you look carefully, you will see that some places are scorched black, which must have been burned by the fire.

After a while, two sedans stopped at the door, and an old doctor carrying a medicine box got out of the sedan. The middle-aged tea guest's eyes lit up and he recognized that these two people were famous surgical doctors in Luoyang City.

The two of them looked at each other, with an imperceptible smile in their eyebrows, and then left after talking.

When the two of them left the teahouse, the beggar sitting at the door slowly stood up and followed quietly with a broken bowl...

On both sides of the road outside the barracks in the city, there are some simple thatched huts selling cheap drinks and bacon. Occasionally, there will be some strong old women accompanying the drinks. Naturally, the new recruits dare not come here to hang out, but some veterans who came from Guanzhong are very happy.

They often come here to hang out. These old fritters have a common characteristic, that is, they like to brag, but two of the ten sentences are true. Anyone with a little analytical ability can judge which sentence is true and which one.

The sentence is false.

"Last night, that old boy Lan Yu sent people to make trouble. As a result, we made dumplings. None of the eight hundred cavalrymen left. They all overturned."

"The soldiers in the imperial court are all melons. Think about it, aren't they here to die? They didn't even touch the edge of the city wall and let us shoot them to death with random arrows. Don't you know? There is a river of blood outside the east gate, and there are corpses."

It’s all over the ground, it’s miserable.”

The wine shop owner smiled and said: "The military master is mighty, I would like to propose a drink to you."

But the boy carrying the plate curled his lips and thought to himself: I just passed by the east gate this morning. The smell of gunpowder was a bit strong, but there was no trace of blood on the ground. How could it be possible to form a river?



In Shangqiu, Lan Yushuai's mansion, a gift from Luoyang made him restless.

There was a brocade box placed on the case, and inside the box was clearly the king of Chu, with his face still lifelike.

The army camp has been defeated, and not a single soldier was injured. Eight hundred people went out, and eight hundred people came back. This has made Lan Yu very puzzled. Now the Han army has sent King Chu's superiors politely, and even more

It left him confused.

Normally, if he attacked Luoyang at night and unilaterally broke the truce agreement, the other party should be furious, throw the King of Chu to wild dogs to eat, and then raise a large number of troops to attack. However, such politeness made Lan Yu extremely uneasy.
