Chapter 6 The Quartet's Troops and Horses Are Ready to Move
Faced with the defeat of Li Mi's army tonight, Yang Gongqing stood by me with great excitement, and all the soldiers behind us cheered loudly. There were only more than a hundred casualties in this battle, and Li Mi's army was killed under the iron hoof of our army. The people who were trampled by their own people in the chaos and those who were burned to death by the fire together would have at least a few thousand casualties. The entire battle lasted less than half an hour, and Li Mi's retreat was unexpected. In fact, according to the situation at that time, although Li Mi's tens of thousands were dozens of times that of ours, the remaining troops were more than twice that of ours. As long as Li Mi could stabilize the morale of the army, it was very likely that our entire army would be wiped out if he turned around.
Kou Zhong walked to me and laughed, "Hehe, Li Mi does not have the courage to kill me and Xiaoling before he can make a living, otherwise we will definitely be wiped out. It is said that Li Mi uses troops like a god, but in my opinion, it is just like that."
I nodded and said, "Haha, do you think this is an ordinary revenge killing in the world? It's not a matter of three or two people, but a matter of the lives of more than 100,000 people and his own bargaining chips for the world. Li Mi will of course make careful considerations. If he rashly fights us for a desperate battle when morale is low, few of his tens of thousands of soldiers will be able to return intact. Even if he wins the final victory, Li Mi will definitely be injured in vitality. He knows clearly that they will definitely not be able to keep us. At the same time, he is always alert to the attacks of Luoyang's army. In this case, if I were to choose to retreat. Although Li Mi suffered setbacks in this battle, we cannot say that he has broken his undefeated myth. The battlefield of the decisive battle is in Luoyang!"
After hearing my words, Kou Zhong stuck out his tongue and drove towards Luoyang in a mighty way. At this moment, everyone's face was filled with joy after victory. However, when it was under Luoyang, troublesome things happened. Because it was already dark, we were talking nonsense, but the soldiers guarding the city on the city wall also disagreed with opening the door for us, and even warned us to retreat three hundred steps, otherwise we would greet us with arrows, and even said that this was Song Mengqiu's order. Yang Gongqing and others wanted to look at each other, and they saw some anger and helplessness from each other's eyes, so they had to order the troops to renovate on site, rest on fire, and wait for dawn to enter the city.
After dawn, 20,000 troops quietly drove into Luoyang City. Without the welcome of the people of Luoyang, they didn't even know that we had successfully defeated the spirit of Li Mi's army outside Luoyang City, opening up a good situation for the entire battlefield in Luoyang.
After returning to Luoyang City, Yang Gongqing and Linglongjiao returned directly to the military headquarters to report their lives, while Shuanglong and I returned to the restaurant together. The atmosphere in Luoyang City is completely different now. Now the vendors in the whole alley have long disappeared, and every household is closed with doors and windows. There is almost no one on the street. There is a depressed look everywhere, which is incompatible with the prosperity of Luoyang in the past.
Shuanglong and the other two rode their horses by my side. Seeing the desolate on the street, he smiled helplessly: "Yesterday, Luoyang was singing and dancing everywhere, but looking at it today, it was a depressing look everywhere, and it was a bit desolate atmosphere. I really don't know what Song Mengqiu is doing. Although Li Mi's army is outside Luoyang City, at most it is just a curfew in Luoyang City. Why do you have to mobilize a lot of trouble and make the whole Luoyang City uneasy?"
Xu Ziling looked at the deadly and silent Luoyang City around him and said with great emotion: "Hmph, it is necessary that Song Mengqiu is not the only one who ordered the ban on all activities in Luoyang City. Behind him, Wang Shichong's precious son must be supported by him, otherwise he would not have the courage to issue such an order. In this way, although their original intention was good, and they were intended to prevent Li Mi's spies from getting involved in Luoyang, they could only close the city gates and prohibit commercial exchanges between Luoyang and other regions, and there was no need to make Luoyang the current situation."
I said, "Wang Xuanying's virtue is well-known to people in Luoyang, and it goes without saying that the people will not think freely in their hearts. Song Mengqiu said it bluntly but Wang Shichong's dog. For officials like them who only know how to enjoy themselves, how could they care about the lives and deaths of the people? In such a forbidden city, the people in the city who rely on their income to make a living on that day will be in trouble this time."
Kou Zhong clenched his fists and said angrily: "I really wish I could hit that boy Wang Xuanying twice. Ignoring the lives and death of the people in Luoyang, only he, a bastard, could do it!"
Xu Ziling patted Kou Zhong on the shoulder and said softly: "Forget it, we don't have to be angry about them. Anyway, Wang Shichong and his corrupt officials cannot enjoy themselves in Luoyang City for a few days. It is important for us to concentrate on dealing with Li Mi." Speaking of this, he turned his head and said to me: "By the way, brother, is it necessary to send someone to send someone to Lin Shihong to send troops to attack the rear of Wagang? This will disrupt Li Mi's morale and facilitate us to deal with him."
I thought for a while and said, "No need. Although Li Mi's soldiers are far more numerous than Luoyang's soldiers, as long as we can seize the opportunity, Li Mi can't do anything to us. We cannot move Lin Shihong's soldiers now. His current task is to fully cooperate with the Song family's soldiers to restrain Xiao Xian's soldiers. While Xiao Xian further took this opportunity to expand his power. When we take Luoyang, it will be time for Xiao Xian to be unlucky."
The three of them said that they had already arrived at the Dong Family Restaurant. Due to the Forbidden City Order, the Dong Family Restaurant, which was once very lively, was deserted in front of the door. There were only a few young masters from rich families who appeared in the restaurant, but they had no previous nature. After simply eating some drinks, they hurriedly paid the bill and left.
When the shopkeeper of the Dong family restaurant saw me back, he hurriedly came out and reported: "Congratulations to the sect leader for winning the first battle of Li Mi. The wife was very worried about the sect leader in the mansion yesterday. The eldest lady ordered her subordinates to ask her to return to her room immediately after seeing the sect leader."
I looked at Shuanglong and smiled and said, "Haha, look, as soon as I entered the house, your sister-in-law doesn't know what to do torment me." After that, she said to the shopkeeper, "Master Yang Xiang, please immediately give me some silver from the restaurant's account to help those people who are living in a difficult life in Luoyang City."
When the shopkeeper Yang heard this, he quickly replied respectfully: "Subordinate, please rest assured."
I nodded and smiled, "It will be a blessing for Master Yang Xiang." Then I walked to the backyard of the restaurant, Shuanglong and others returned to their own rooms and were preparing to go to Yang Gongqing's military camp to help.
As soon as I entered the door, I saw Zhu Yuyan and other women sitting in the room talking and laughing. When I saw me pushing the door and entering, I was happy and stood up to surround me. Wei Zhenzhen hurriedly asked, "My husband led the army yesterday to fight with Li Mi's army, wasn't it hurt?"
I smiled and gently pinched her pink jade face and said, "Your husband can be hurt in the world. My people are not born yet. Huh? How did you know that I fought with Li Mi last night? At this time, even that boy Song Mengqiu was just informed."
Song Yu smiled and said, "Honey, have you forgotten the 'Hawk'? With them, even though we are in this restaurant, we can know the big things happening in the world."
"Oh?" I took Zhu Yuyan and Fu Junmao's hands and sat down with the girls and said, "I know all the big things in the world? Haha, I really want to hear what Zhizhi knows about the big things in the world."
Song Yu smiled and replied: "I received a reward from 'Hawkeye' yesterday morning and found that the Li family's troops were being mobilized to Tongguan in full swing. I guess he was also interested in this piece of fat in Luoyang. At the same time, Dou Jiande's troops also had the intention to go south, but the signs of Dou Jiande's troops were not very obvious. Judging from the situation of his troops being mobilized, we cannot guess his intention."
After hearing this news, I was shocked and jumped up from my seat in shock. I stared at Song Yuzhi with a little dumbfounded moment, and then paced back and forth next to them in dismay, thinking in my heart, "Li Yuan finally couldn't hold back and forth, and began to mobilize troops to attack Luoyang. If the Li family's army passed Tongguan and came straight to Luoyang, what should I do? And Dou Jiande's men... It seems that we have to consider the strategy for Li Mi again." At this moment, Yu Guangzhong suddenly found that Zhu Yuyan's expression was a little strange, and she wanted to laugh and didn't dare to laugh. She was strange in her heart. The expressions on the other women were the same. She immediately knew in her heart that the news just now was made up by them, but it scared me.
Seeing my anxious and funny look, Song Yuzhi finally couldn't help laughing, and his expression was particularly heart-warming. Looking at Song Yuzhi with a picturesque smile, I jumped to her side as if I was angry and smiled. I suddenly took advantage of Song Yuzhi's inattention, pulled her from her body, held it in my arms, and then blew in her ear: "Okay, you little girl, you dare to tease your husband, see if I don't punish you well today." After that, she kissed her red lips without saying anything, and her naughty hands even reached into her clothes and gently kneaded her chest. Song Yuzhi's ears were blushing as soon as she said.
Chi, struggling symbolically in my arms, but at this time she was already soft and had no strength, so she had to snuggle in my arms like orchids. Her body was trembling slightly, because Zhu Yuyan and other women were sitting around us at this time, looking at us both with a smile. My daughter's family was naturally shy, so Song Yuzhi kept holding back the itchy and ecstatic feeling in her heart, and she didn't dare to moan passionately, her eyes filled with moving obsession. At this moment, I stopped abruptly, looking at Song Yuzhi, who was bright in her arms with a smile, and said with a smile: "Hmph, Zhizhi, do you dare to tease me in the future?"
Dongfang Yanran smiled and said, "Hehe, my husband is wrong. He said with certainty that Zhizhi will definitely tease his husband in the future, because such punishment is something that all our sisters want."
Zhu Yuyan interrupted at this time, "Okay, okay, my husband may be leaving in a while. Sisters should not joke with you, saying that serious matters."
Zhu Yuyan spoke very well among the girls. After hearing Zhu Yuyan's words, Song Yuzhi left my arms, but still sat quietly beside me. Zhu Yuyan said: "I received a letter from Luo Yan's flying pigeon in the morning, saying that she deliberately concealed the number of troops led by her husband, and said that she had said 20,000 to 10,000, and she was still worried about her husband. The person responsible for exploring the enemy's situation was her confidant and would definitely not be discovered by Li Mi." Speaking of this, Zhu Yuyan paused and said: "Don't worry, husband, Luoyang is smart, wise, and she acts more cautiously and should not be a problem."
After hearing Zhu Yuyan's words, I said, "If you don't be afraid of ten thousand, just be afraid of one. Now is the sensitive period, and it is also the time when Li Mi's defense is the closest time. You must guard against Luo Yan. Yuyan, please inform Luo Yan, and notify her of not sending a letter to Luoyang Feige before she has no choice. When I break Li Mi's army in the future, I will be able to take her to Luoyang and our family will be able to reunite."
At this moment, a disciple came to report that Dong Fang was waiting in the study room at this time.
After hearing this, I gave some instructions to Zhu Yuyan and other women, and then walked to the study. Dong Fang stood up and bowed to me and said, "Congratulations to the sect leader for being able to defeat Li Mi's attack in the first battle."
I waved my hand to him and smiled, "Hehe, I didn't expect that Master Dong's mouth was getting sweeter and sweeter. Let's just talk about the serious matters."
Dong Fang smiled and said, "Thank you for your praise. Haha... The sect leader, yesterday, received a letter from Lin Shihong, saying that Xiao Xian's troops were secretly mobilizing northward. He asked the sect leader if he took advantage of the empty southern towns of Xiao Xian's power to bring more of that part of the territory in one fell swoop."
"Xiao Xian's troops are mobilizing northward?" I said to myself, "What do Xiao Xian want to do? Does he also want to make the idea of Luoyang? But just by looking around with the jackals around him, he should not have the ability to eat Luoyang. Could it be... he reached an agreement with Dou Jiande!"
After hearing what I said, Dong Fang suddenly realized: "Yes, this must be the case. Otherwise, even if Xiao Xiantian had the courage to move his troops north at this time, he would definitely not dare to move his troops north at this time. This would be very unfavorable to us."
"Well" I thought about it and got up from the seat of the emperor. After pondering for a while, I ordered Dong Fang: "Master Dong, please reply to Lin Shihong immediately, ordering him to launch a harassing attack on Xiao Xian's city, mobilizing troops to make a large-scale attack on Xiao Xian, and trying to attract Xiao Xian's attention. At the same time, I inform the Song family of the army and let Song Zhi lead the Song family of the army to move in the southern part of Xiao Xian, but don't attack Xiao Xian's city. I don't want the Song family of the army to be involved too early, and I don't want Xiao Xian to start to suspect that the Song family of the army is standing on my side, so that he is prepared for a long time. Hehe, I don't believe that Xiao Xian dares to give up his territory and rush his army to the north!"
Dong Fang nodded and said, "Okay, my subordinates will do it immediately. At the same time, we should also notify Hawkeye to closely monitor Dou Jiande's every move."
I said, "The Lord Dong said it well. Things are urgent. It won't take long to feel like I'm going to go to the barracks. When it's urgent, the Lord Dong can do things cheaply!"
