Chapter 445: Li Shimin goes west

There was a moment of silence on the noisy battlefield, whether it was the Sui army or the Zheng army, they didn't expect that they were still majestic just now, killing Li Zhengbao to lose his armor and flee in embarrassment, Wei Lu, who didn't even hold up a decent fit in front of Luo Shixin, was cut off the horse!

People who are not facing top generals will never be able to experience the terrifying oppressive power of top generals, in fact, Wei Lu still has the courage to charge against Luo Shixin after his spirit and spirit have declined, which is a rare performance of bravery.

After a moment of silence, the Sui army erupted in earth-shattering cheers, and even Li Zhengbao came out of the crowd, looked at Wei Lu's corpse, spat viciously, and pulled out the war knife at his waist to slash at Wei Lu's head.

"Bang~"

With a crisp sound, a cold spear suddenly poked out of the oblique stab, swinging Li Zhengbao's war knife away.

"General, you ......" Li Zhengbao looked up and looked at Luo Shixin with a serious expression.

"Although this person is an enemy, he is also a good man, and he can be killed but not humiliated!" Luo Shixin glanced at him indifferently: "Let the other side bring back his corpse." ”

"Whoa!"

Without waiting for Li Zhengbao to say anything more, Luo Shixin's personal guards stepped forward and carried Wei Lu's body directly in front of the enemy formation, and silently retreated.

"General, why are you ......" Li Zhengbao wanted to say more, but saw Luo Shixin come to a group of Zheng army soldiers.

Looking at a pair of eyes with hidden anger, Luo Shixin said, "What is the name of this person? ”

An accompanying general said loudly: "My general is Xingyang Taishou Wei Lu!" ”

"Wei Lu?" Luo Shixin's eyes swept over the other party's hand holding the weapon, nodded and said: "He is a good man, I, Luo Shixin, do not respect him for his martial arts, but respect him for his righteous deeds in danger, and he is still willing to fight for your safety." Although he couldn't stop me, in order to make the hero blind, you should return to Luoyang immediately! I can't guarantee if you'll be so lucky next time, I hope you haven't met my Great Sui Iron Army. ”

"General!" Hearing Luo Shixin say this, all the soldiers who came out of the camp with Wei Lu immediately cried bitterly and knelt down in front of Wei Lu's corpse.

After Luo Shixin finished speaking, he turned his horse back to the army and met Li Zhengbao with a puzzled face.

"General, let them go like this, how can you explain in front of the Holy Lord?" Li Zhengbao was very worried about Luo Shixin. The enemy's commander is dead, and now is the best opportunity to break the army, but Luo Shixin has missed it!

"Opportunity?" Luo Shixin laughed, and pointed his spear at Zheng Jun, who was collecting the corpse for Wei Lu: "General Li, look at their eyes!" ”

Li Zhengbao looked back and saw hundreds of soldiers looking towards this side with fierce faces, like a pack of wounded wolves.

"This is ......" Li Zhengbao subconsciously swallowed his saliva, although he didn't take these soldiers in his eyes, but that kind of gaze full of desire for destruction made Li Zhengbao feel an unspeakable coldness.

"Mourning Soldiers!" Luo Shixin took a deep breath and sighed: "Just look at the feat of this person who would rather die than preserve the soldier's feat when he is in danger, you know that this person is very popular on weekdays, if you insult his corpse before, you will inevitably be resisted desperately by the other party, although our army is not afraid, but if there are too many losses here, how to fight that Li Daozong?" Our enemy is the pseudo-Tang Dynasty, the stronger Wang Shichong's strength in Luoyang, the more difficult it is for the Tang army to attack the city, and the greater the benefits to our army. ”

"The last will be taught!" Li Zhengbao said with a wry smile, since Luo Cheng was born, Luo Shixin has not only become more and more martial arts and more calm, but even the art of war and strategy have improved a lot compared to before.

"It's just that our army is confronting him like this?" Li Zhengbao looked at Luo Shixin, they are pioneers! Wouldn't it be ridiculous to have a long confrontation with the remnants of a lost commander? More importantly, their task was also heavy, to stop the Tang army south of Henan County.

"The mourning of the army cannot last, and if the war is fought before, the enemy may fight to the death, but after this stagnation, the morale will be exhausted. It is very easy to be destroyed when the war is renewed. Luo Shixin's gaze was calm, as if nothing in this world could make him feel the slightest emotional fluctuation.

The reason why Wei Lu's body was returned before was to admire him as a person, but he still hoped that he would retreat, so as not to become a dagger to stab.

"The general is wise!" Li Zhengbao said embarrassedly.

"It's not that I'm wise, it's just that you, as a general, don't think about making progress on weekdays, so there is such a gap." Luo Shixin said proudly, he Lao Luo has written marching notes for so many years, and now he can finally train people, and glanced at the enemy camp: "Wait for them for half an hour, if they don't leave in an hour, launch an attack and annihilate them!" ”

"Whoa!" Li Zhengbao responded, they were not tired, even if they rested for half an hour, they did not have to worry about major changes in the south.

Soon, the other party left with Wei Lu's body. Luo Shixin sent scouts to monitor and led the army to continue south.

。。。。。。。。。。。。。

Mianchi County is mottled, many days ago, this military fortress has been dilapidated, the blood on the city wall has dried up, there is a smell of fish, the Zheng army armor on the city wall is worn, there are many scars on the body, there are many tired colors on the face, fighting for a long time, even if it is an elite army, at this time it is a heavy loss.

The Tang army under the city wall suffered more losses, the atmosphere in the camp was dull, and bursts of screams could be heard everywhere, because it was outside the city, although there were soldiers in Langzhong, but the number of Langzhong was still less. A large number of wounded soldiers could only lie on the ground and let out a series of wails.

In the big tent, Liu Hongji sat there quietly and didn't speak, but Qiu Xinggong's eyes were red, and he kept cursing in his mouth.

Three days ago, Hangu Guanshou Wang Tai led 10,000 soldiers to evacuate to the east, Qiu Xing respectfully obeyed Li Shimin's order, led 10,000 soldiers to join Liu Hongji, intending to eat this army, who would have thought that this army was extremely fierce, it was hard to break the encirclement, and arrived in Mianchi County victoriously, although this army was crippled, the number was less than 5,000, but Wang Tai had a strong city to defend, only more than 13,000 people they wanted to conquer this city, it was almost impossible.

Liu Hongji smiled bitterly: "I didn't expect Zheng Jun to be so fierce, Wang Shichong is about to be defeated, and the soldiers under his command are still working so hard, it seems that we all underestimate this Central Plains hero." We lost more than 7,000 people. "Who is to blame for all this! I can only blame myself for not expecting enough enemies.

"No, we have not failed, and we must not fail, within two days, we will definitely be able to capture Michi and capture the prince alive." Compared with Liu Hongji's calmness, Qiu Xinggong was furious, like a mad tiger.

Qiu Xinggong is the son of Qiu He, a general of the Sui Dynasty, with a height of six feet four, a big waist and a round waist, superb martial arts, brave and brilliant, archery skills are hundreds of shots, and he holds a big knife.

Qiu Xinggong is thirty-six years old Chinese New Year's Eve, which is not too old, but compared to the Dasui Dynasty who can serve as a taishou or lead troops to fight in his teens, he is indeed a little old, if he is a civilian official, he still has more than twenty years of career, but for military generals, at the age of fifty, he should become the commander of an army, or turn to the court, or abdicate to give way.

But Qiu Xinggong is still only a hussar general under Li Shimin, Hou Junji is also a hussar general, but he is Li Shimin's most trusted general, Yu Wenshi and is also a hussar general, but he also has the official position of governing the secretary and serving the imperial history, which belongs to the court, and is deeply trusted by Emperor Li Yuan.

Liu Hongji was also a hussar general, but he was a veteran of the army and had the title of Duke of the Kingdom; Duan Zhihong was also a hussar general, but he was not only a national prince, but also a general of Zuo Yiwei.

The hussar general seems to be majestic, but in fact he is a military officer with no real power, as long as he smashes a big stone into the army, I am afraid that he will hit a hussar general, this is after Li Yuan founded the country, in order to attract talents, the special seal led to a flood of officials, and everyone was satisfied when they were sealed, but seeing that everyone was in such an official position, everyone was bored with their official position, and felt that they were not much higher than ordinary soldiers.

More than a dozen hussar generals under Li Shimin's rule are all better than Qiu Xinggong in their peers, and people like Hou Junji and Zhang Gongjin, who are younger than him, have a great future, but he Qiu Xinggong is still a thirty-six-year-old soldier.

If you really gather a group of fierce generals in the world together to compete, it would be good for him to be ranked in the top 100, and he, the world's number one fierce general, is really a bit unreliable.

The only thing he can do now is martial arts, but he knows in his heart that in another year or two, he will go downhill. Therefore, the pressure he is under is not something that young people can understand, and if he can't get ahead again, he will never have a bright day in his life.

There is also a personal reason that Qiu Xinggong was born to his father Qiu He's concubine, and his ability is stronger than his brother Qiu Shili, when his father died in the battle of shallow water, he was extremely disrespectful to his brother, but Qiu Shili was reused by Yang Tong after he descended to Sui, and became the general and earl of the Great Sui Dynasty, these two official ranks are not high in the Great Sui, but it depends on their high gold content, because the generals and counts of the Great Sui Dynasty are less than two hundred, and if these counts are put in Li Tang, in terms of their merits, A county duke can't escape, and some are even more powerful than Li Tang's national duke, so compared to it, being so pressed by the Sui Dynasty, the flood of titles under Li Tang is obviously ridiculous. What made Qiu Xinggong even more unbearable was that his brother-in-law Qiu Shili, who he regarded as a wreck, had 30,000 peacekeepers in the Western Regions, and was still doing a good job in the Western Regions, which made Qiu Xinggong unacceptable.

Because of various reasons, Qiu Xinggong bet all his passion on the battle of Li Tang's Northern Expedition, which finally won a chance to make meritorious contributions, who would have thought that the bastard Wang Tai would actually ruin his plan.

is the so-called cutting off people's careers, such as killing parents.

How could this make him not hate Wang Tai to the core?
