Chapter 3 Fuyao (Part 1) The battle situation in Hejian County was transmitted to the Youzhou Army Commander’s Camp as quickly as possible. In an instant, almost everyone felt as if they were struck by lightning. Everyone has clearly seen Li Xu’s battle flag flying in the past few days.
The city walls of Yi County were riddled with holes from stray arrows. Just when victory was within reach, the news brought by Shi Qinji, the commander of the Zuoying Army, shattered all everyone's dreams.
"What are the casualties of the brothers? Where have they been evacuated now?" Suppressing the panic in his heart, Luo Yi asked in a deep voice. What he wanted to know most now was actually the whereabouts of his son Luo Cheng. With a father's love for young people,
Understood, he knew that his ambitious son would never be willing to accept such a cruel blow. Cheng'er might risk his life to fight against the enemy general, and Li Zhongjian was also an unstoppable brave general in the legend...
If the answer is really like this, what do I do with this picturesque country? I only have one son, and he has never been hurt since he was a child!
"About 6,000 brothers were killed in the battle, and most of the others were captured by the Li thieves." Qin Ji, whose face was covered with gray, secretly looked around and tried to slow down his voice, "Young Marshal, the Young Marshal has not encountered any
What's the danger? Li Thief personally told his subordinates that he saw the young marshal heading south..."
"Where are the others? Where are Fan Zhongmou and Liu Dexin? Are they with the young marshal?" The elder Shi Qinyong wanted to step forward and kick his clan brother in the feet, although the other man was injured in many places and his blood was already soaked through.
The linen that had been wrapped around the wound seeped out of the broken armor.
"Did Qin Changshi be released? Your bow and horse are not as skillful as the young commander's!" Cao Yuanrang interjected before Qin Ji could answer.
The eyes around them were immediately filled with contempt. Although they were concerned about the safety of their sons and sons, the generals of Youzhou looked down upon those who defected to the enemy. Given the choice between dying in battle and surrendering, most of them hoped that their sons and nephews would choose the former option.
"General Fan and General Liu killed Cui in battle, and General Shen was injured and captured. My subordinates are incompetent. Please punish me, Commander-in-Chief!" Qin Ji knelt upright in front of Luo Yi, not daring to look at the others again.
Among all the generals of the East Route Youzhou Army, he was the oldest and had the most rich combat experience. However, he was the only one who escaped in the end. This responsibility was no longer something he could bear alone.
The Huben Iron Cavalry has been entrenched in Youzhou for so many years, and almost every senior general has his own family standing behind him. If it causes everyone to misunderstand, the Qin family may be uprooted.
"Everyone else died in the battle, how can you have the nerve to come back alone!" The elder Shi Qinyong stepped forward quickly and slapped his brothers twice in the face.
Even though he died in battle, he should not have come back to report the news. Although the news he brought back could allow the army to prepare early, for the family, his behavior was undoubtedly a kind of betrayal.
Qin Ji's face immediately swollen, and blood slowly dripped down the corners of his mouth. He wiped his face with a wry smile, and responded in a low voice: "Li asked me to bring the message to Luo Gong alive, otherwise he will not stop
No matter whether the prisoners live or die, Qin is not afraid of death, but he does not dare to let down the commander and other captured brothers!"
As soon as these words came out, the disdainful glances looking around were immediately replaced by anxiety and sadness. Everyone could no longer think about accusing Qin Ji of being greedy for fear of death. If he hadn't endured the humiliation and came back to spread the word to the enemy, God knows what would have happened to the captured Youzhou disciples.
End! Although the man surnamed Li was very kind to his soldiers and civilians, he was notoriously ruthless towards his enemies. During the Second Battle of Liaodong, this man ravaged hundreds of miles of Goguryeo into a scorched earth. The Battle of Yanmen Pass
, it is said that none of the Turkic Wolf Riders who fell into his hands survived.
"What message did the man named Li ask you to bring back?" Luo Yi, the general manager of Youzhou, glanced at Qin Ji's broken armor and asked in a voice as cold as ice.
He could guess why the other party let Qin Ji come back. It was a very obvious demonstration. Li was trying to tell the Youzhou soldiers through this coward's mouth that he had a group of hostages in his hands! And according to what Qin Ji just reported
Estimating the situation, excluding those who have died in battle, there are at least 15,000 or 6,000 Youzhou troops captured by Li Zhongjian. Many of these generals are the nephews of old generals, and many of them carry heavy burdens.
The hope of the whole family!
Qin Ji lowered his head, and beads of blood and sweat fell to the ground at the same time. He didn't dare not answer Luo Yi's words, but he couldn't find a way to say something that wouldn't anger everyone. After thinking for a long time, he finally made up his mind and gritted his teeth to report, "
Return, return to Marshal Li. Li Thief said, he said, he said that the Boling Army will soon cross the Juma River and join the general in hunting in Youzhou. The wheat in Youzhou matures late. Please don’t worry about the shortage of military rations.
!”
Sure enough, as soon as he finished speaking, several generals jumped up at the same time. "The man named Li is bullying people too much! The last general is willing to lead an army to the river to rescue all the brothers!" Ying Yanglang, General Lu Ju, strode forward.
Walked up to Luo Yi and bowed down to ask for orders.
"Yes, let's go straight back to Zhuo County, block the Juma River, and capture Li alive!" Cao Yuanrang waved his arms, fearing that others would not see his loyalty to Youzhou.
"The man named Li almost, almost, didn't suffer any loss!" Anyway, it had reached this point. Qin Ji simply told the truth, "Young Marshal didn't make any mistakes, it's just that the other party was very cunning!"
The noise like boiling oil all around was instantly extinguished by this ladle of cold water. Although Qin Ji's words were infuriating, all the generals had to admit that Lu and Cao's ideas were too overestimating. Even the best among the young generation of Youzhou Army
General Luo Chengdu was easily defeated by Li Xu, and people who were not as powerful as Luo Cheng were sent to his door. Wouldn't it be in vain that the other party could capture more prisoners?
"Alas!" Luo Yi sighed secretly in his heart and looked at his right-hand man. At this moment, the strong general Liu Yifang was silent in the sorrow of losing his son, and his beard was filled with bright tears.
Fan Hengda covered his face with his hands, his body was shaking, and he tried hard not to choke. Only the elder Shi Qinyong was relatively calm. After giving his brother a fierce look, he walked up to Luo Yi and bowed.
Suggestion: "My lord, my subordinates believe that Thief Li will not be able to break through Ji County for a while. The immediate plan is that instead of returning to the army to fight with him, it is better to seize the time to attack Yixian and capture Lu Qin and Liu Hongji alive!"
"Yes, capture Lu Qin and Liu Hongji alive!" The crowd in the big tent was agitated. More than half of the people believed that Qin Yong's suggestion was feasible.
The rolling logs all have white stubble on them, and anyone with a discerning eye can tell at a glance that they were made on the spur of the moment. When the defenders have demolished all the beams in the city, the Youzhou war flag can be easily planted on the top of the city.
The more critical point is that the Youzhou Army currently does not have enough chips to trade with the enemy. They must import and capture a batch of Boling soldiers equal to the number of their own prisoners. Otherwise, no one will want to see their nephew again!
"If the commander-in-chief is not willing to use his blood-stained sword, Qin is willing to rush to the front and be the vanguard of the siege!" Qin Ji, who was kneeling on the ground, also bowed his head heavily to Luo Yi and asked.
"Well!" Luo Yi stroked his beard and murmured in a low voice. As a prince, he understood very well why Qin Yong's suggestion was not the best policy, but in the position of the elder Shi Qin Yong, he could only do this.
There are no family members of Qin Yong among those who chose to die in battle or be captured. If he directly proposed to withdraw and make peace, he would be betraying the other generals.
The most brilliant thing about Li Zhongjian was to deliberately let Luo Cheng go when his own son was safe and the general's son was either killed in battle or captured. No matter whether he chose to fight or not, Luo Yi would have endless troubles.
The "bachelor" surnamed Li has already begun to fulfill his threat that day. Luo Yi can smash Boling to pieces, and he can also smash everyone in Youzhou to pieces. No one will have the last laugh...
"Commander, I think it would be best to return to the army and make peace with Li Thief as soon as possible! He is willing to let Qin Changshi come back to report the news, and he did not pursue the young general. He probably does not want the two sides to have a deep hatred." Just as Luo Yi hesitated
At this moment, Zhuangwu General Liu Yifang wiped the tears from his face and put forward an unusual suggestion.
Like the Luo family, the Liu family is also very thin. Liu Dexin is the only direct descendant, and has been raised as the hope of the entire family since childhood. If there is a chance to defeat the Boling Army, Liu Yifang would like to capture Li Xu with his own hands.
, cut to pieces with a thousand cuts, but now is not the time to let hatred blind your reason. If Jixian is captured, the Youzhou army will be homeless like the eight thousand Xichu athletes back then.
The old-fashioned tactic of being surrounded on all sides must be known to Li, and he would definitely not hesitate to give it a try!
"Commander, you, just listen to General Liu!" Huaihua Zhonglang General Fan Hengda walked up to Liu Yifang and choked with sobs.
"General Fan, General Liu, and Luo know that you are thoughtful, but now, let's figure out the situation first!" Luo Yi bent down with emotion and saluted his two confidants. "If there is no chance of victory, Luo
Never try to be quick. If you can avenge your two nephews in the future, Luo will personally carry the knife..."
When he said this, his voice was choked with tears, but the two generals Liu put their personal grudges behind the interests of Youzhou. This act of righteousness made him disrespectful.
"If there is a chance in the future, Qin will also be willing to avenge his nephews!" Qin Ji seized the opportunity and quickly confessed his love.
"You stand up first and someone comes and brings a basin of water to wash Qin Changshi's face!" Luo Yi sighed again and ordered.
"Thank you, Commander-in-Chief, for not killing me!" Qin Ji knew that his life had been saved, and kowtowed to the ground again. He was forced by Li Xu to come back to deliver a message to Luo Yi. In fact, he would rather be a prisoner than take on this job, but he was evil.
The ghost-like enemy general forced him to mount his war horse with a knife, leaving him with no courage to look back.
Not only that, if there is another war between the Youzhou Army and the Boling Army, Qin Ji would rather hide so far away that he can give up his own future and the inheritance of the family business, rather than facing that villain named Li.
