Chapter 15 of the Gui Scroll: Except for death, there is no disaster, wealth and honor can be found in danger
Having made the decision, Luo Dingbiao felt relaxed.
There is no serious difficulty except death. Instead of being watched by Sun Shaozu all day long, it is better to turn against the enemy and fight.
Since the old boss specially sent the Feng family to contact him, he naturally valued his usefulness as a gatekeeper in Linqing City. However, Luo Dingbiao was very happy. People who are useless will naturally not be spotted. Being useful means that he
If you win this fight, your future will be limitless, and your rapid rise will be just around the corner.
Luo Dingbiao has been in Datong for so many years and is very aware of the influence of the Feng family in Datong Town. This is why Sun Shaozu has extremely strict control over the ministries under his command. If he is not careful, he may be attracted by Feng Tang. This is true on the battlefield.
Fatal.
And he had not had much connection with the Feng family over the years, so he was placed in Linqing City. However, because he was not a direct descendant of Sun Shaozu, Sun Shaozu did not trust him, so the city guard general was placed in the position of Zhu Yunqi.
In his hands, this was what made Luo Dingbiao most dissatisfied. In a sense, this was also the reason why he accepted the olive branch thrown by the court.
Of course, there were other reasons why Luo Dingbiao was willing to take a chance. For example, he discovered that Niu Jizong was unable to recapture Xia Town after it was captured by the Northwest Army. This made him realize the subtlety of the situation in Shandong. The Northwest Army had already given Niu Jizong a palace in Lunan.
The army caused huge pressure and even made it unable to quickly recapture Xia Town.
For example, he found out that Chen Jixian of Huaiyang Town was said to be indifferent to the capture of Xia Town. The Northwest Army even launched a surprise attack through its defense line. It is hard to say what role this guy played in it.
The key is that Nanjing is actually helpless against Huaiyang Town, which is unacceptable, because it means that Chen Jixian may change from an ally to an ambush soldier who attacks from behind at any time. Everyone is now observing the situation.
This also made Luo Dingbiao feel that Niu Jizong and Sun Shaozu's strategy of delaying change may not be as smooth as everyone imagined before the end of the year. Even without him, the court would not tolerate Shandong being controlled by Niu Jizong and Sun Shaozu, even if it was just the canal.
One line.
Wealth and honor are sought in danger. Being a martial artist relies on life to gain wealth and honor. Now that the Feng family has given him a chance, the court's chances are obviously greater. So what are you waiting for?
But having said that, if I take a gamble and drag the incoming imperial army in with every trick, and cover it up in one fell swoop, the imperial court will probably no longer have the energy to attack, right?
I'm afraid that the commander-in-chief of Datong Town should be himself, right?
Linqing suffered a setback and could not take Shandong. Chaos arose in Shanxi and Shaanxi. Maybe the world really belonged to Prince Yi Zhong.
Luo Dingbiao's face was complicated, and it was difficult to make a decision for a moment.
The period during which Luo Dingbiao made his decision was a torment for He Huchen.
Before coming here, Sun Chengzong had told him that there should be an opportunity in Linqing, but what kind of opportunity was unclear and uncertain.
Later, Feng Ziying forwarded Feng Tang's letter and informed the internal staff. This made He Huchen overjoyed. However, Ali later learned that there were also many uncertainties here. It was uncertain whether they would retaliate and whether they were decoys.
, but no matter what, such a possibility and opportunity must be seized, otherwise the price to pay for the forced attack on Linqing City will be even greater.
For He Huchen, this is also a fight.
If the so-called insider in the city is a decoy and one of our troops breaks in, it will be like a sheep stumbling into a tiger's mouth. Not only will our unit be completely destroyed, but the morale of the entire army will also be fatal.
But He Huchen had already made up his mind and decided to give it a try.
Because it was worth a try. He felt that it was worth a chance to convey Feng Ziying's serious story. Although he was not familiar with Feng Tang, since he had sold his life to Feng Ziying, he didn't need to think so much anymore.
Already.
As the sky turned dark, He Huchen remained motionless, sitting on the ridge and staring ahead.
The army was still slowly advancing eastward, but there was no news from his side. No matter how anxious he was inside, He Huchen remained calm and composed on the surface.
Two hours passed, and there should have been news from Lulu, but there was no news.
There was no bad news, but no good news either.
I wonder if this is an ominous omen? He Huchen couldn't help but think wildly.
Regret?
That's a good thing. You have to keep a thin line. You didn't lure one of your own people into the city to kill them. It's moral. Or maybe you're not sure about the future development of the situation and don't want to take things to an end.
Or maybe it wasn’t agreed upon at all?
Or maybe the situation in the city has changed, and it was once possible, but now it’s not possible?
Unable to help but clench his fists, He Huchen was about to get up and move his somewhat stiff body when he heard a whistle from the other side of the forest, and he perked up.
Immediately afterwards, several people rushed over, "Sir, you are back."
"Okay, how's it going?"
Hearing the other party's words with a hint of joy, He Huchen's heart suddenly jumped.
After listening to the introduction from his subordinates, He Huchen slowly calmed down and asked for some details again and again, and finally determined that there should be no big problem. The best response preparations were made. Unexpectedly, it was Luo Dingbiao.
Of course He Huchen knew about the situation of the garrison in the city and the distribution of the garrison. Luo Dingbiao ranked second in terms of military strength. He was stationed in the east. Binyang Gate, Weiwu Gate, Jingdai Gate and Dongshui Gate were all under his control, among which Weiwu Gate was in the inner city.
To the north, it is not suitable. Jingdai Gate is over there, because Linqing City is narrow in the south and wide in the north. If you enter Jingdai Gate and are blocked by the city defenders, it will be difficult to break through. Binyang Gate here should be the most suitable.
Once they break through, they can almost capture half of Linqing City.
But Luo Dingbiao actually wants to go to Dongshuimen by himself?!
Although Dongshuimen is in a moderate location, it is a waterway!
If you enter through the waterway, you will naturally be slow, and the risks are obvious.
This means that there is a section of the waterway, at least a hundred steps away. Even if there are wooden rafts as pontoons, our side has almost no defense ability in this section. If our elites get on the pontoon bridge, they will become living targets and have no ability to fight back.
, once it is a trap, a few barrels of black oil and a few rockets can turn hundreds of your elites into charred corpses everywhere. He Huchen shudders when he thinks of this.
Could it be that Luo Dingbiao really designed a trap to trap him?
He Huchen kept rubbing his cheeks to calm himself down.
It's too dangerous to go through Dongshui Gate. Compared with Binyang Gate and Jingdai Gate, it feels like a trap no matter how you look at it, and it's a trap that you can't resist.
The problem is that the time limit is so tight that there is no room for maneuver. You can either take a gamble and risk your life, or simply give up, or rely on a large army to attack by force to fight this battle.
Risks have always coexisted with benefits. He Huchen had known this for a long time, but it was only at this time that he felt it so deeply.
Bet or not?
At this time, there is no time to find other channels to verify the screening. If you want to take this chance, you have to rush back immediately, mobilize the army to come here at night, and take the risk. If you are not willing to take the risk, then you have to go back.
, fight steadily, because this means that the defenders in Linqing City already know that their own army has arrived at the city.
He Huchen took a deep breath, stood up, and said in a deep voice: "Let's go!"
