Chapter 53: Second Brother I'm Sorry for You
"With 20,000 elite soldiers under your command and a strong city to defend it, why did you lose Huoyi!" Qu Tutong pointed at the embarrassed Song Laosheng, and he was angry. That is, the old brother for many years can't bear to start, if it is replaced by someone else, he has now been cut into eighteen pieces of exhibition.
"There is a fierce general in the Jinyang army, and he overwhelmed my army formation by riding alone. Later, I learned that it was Li Yuan's third son, named Li Xuanba. If there is undue courage of ten thousand people, it is the enemy of ten thousand. If it weren't for him, I wouldn't have lost this battle. Song Laosheng remembered Li Yuanba's bravery, and he still had palpitations.
"Li Xuanba!" Qu Tutong was silent, he had heard the name of this person. There is indeed the courage of ten thousand people, and it is said that he is a fierce man of the same level as the Tianbao general Yuwencheng. It's just that he is still young and not as famous as Yuwen Chengdu. However, in the circle of the Great Sui Xungui, there are already many rumors about him.
looked at Song Laosheng and sighed helplessly. In any case, whether Li Yuanba is brave or not. I have to pinch my nose to admit it, many years of birth and death, the friendship of two generations. You can't cut off Song Laosheng's head with your own hands! Not to mention that Song Laosheng said that Li Yuanba was an enemy of ten thousand people, even if he said that he was a King Kong Arhat, he planned to admit it. If nothing else, there is a friendship in the noble circle. For several lifetimes, people have supported each other like this and walked through this troubled world.
How many years have the fucking ghost world just stopped, and it's fucking messed up again. If you don't support each other, no one can think about it.
"It's not just a child, what's so hard about it. His subordinates went with their soldiers, and they would surely come back with his head. "Sang Xian is obviously the kind of person who only grows muscles but not brains. Qu Tutong was bent on excusing Song Laosheng, but Sang Xian, the bastard, was going to cut off Li Yuanba's head and come back.
Whether you can cut it back is another matter, if your kid cuts it back, isn't his mother going to cut off Song Laosheng's head?
"Get down, there's no place for you to talk here." Qu Tutong couldn't wait to kick this rammer to death.
Sang Xian saw that the boss was angry and hurriedly retreated. But I'm obviously not convinced, and there are words in my mouth, what a hairy child. You can pinch Yunyun to death with one hand!
"I have heard of Li Xuanba, and he is indeed an enemy of ten thousand people. I heard that you are a teacher of Yujuluo, and the Tianbao general Yuwen Cheng is your senior brother. Now that your senior brother and Yu Juluo are guarding Tongguan, why don't you go to Tongguan. Please ask your senior brother Yuwen Chengdu to lead reinforcements to come here to deal with Li Yuan with me, as long as you invite your senior brother. The old man was confident and defeated Li Yuan and marched into Jinyang. Qu Tutong rolled his eyes and immediately thought of a good idea.
Song Laosheng studied under the great Sui general Yujuluo, and Yujuluo's most proud disciple was the Tianbao general Yuwen Chengdu. Now that the Jinyang army led by Li Yuan has won Huoyi, the morale is like a rainbow, and it is a good time to enter the army. Most of his subordinates are in Chang'an, and it is simply impossible to make these Qiu Ba not worry about their families.
The only thing that can boost morale is the arrival of reinforcements. The name of Tianbao General Yuwen Chengdu is still valid, who doesn't know that it is the first fierce general of the Great Sui. If he can lead the army to come with reinforcements, it will greatly boost morale. If the decisive battle with Li Yuan is won, it doesn't matter if Huo Yi is lost. Because Li Yuan at that time no longer had the ability to occupy Guanzhong.
Song Laosheng is also a person who has been mixed in the court all his life, and his IQ is not much worse than Qu Tutong. After a little thought, I understood what Qu Tutong meant, and I didn't want to be cheeky to ask the teacher and senior brother. Helplessly, the situation is pressing, and he has just lost Huo Yi. A crime of losing a teacher and humiliating the country can make one's head fall to the ground. Now I can only hope to move to Yuwen Chengdu and fight a beautiful battle with Li Yuan in Hedong. As long as this battle is won, Qu Tutong will help himself say two more good words, and no one will be able to say anything under the credit.
gratefully bowed his hand to Qu Tutong, and the old friend was still reliable at the critical moment. "Thank you, General, the last general will go to Tongguan now and ask my senior brother to come to help. As long as my senior brother comes, the time for Li Xuanba's death will come. ”
"Go and come back, we don't have much time. Tell the old general Yujuluo, now the situation of our army is critical, please look at the friendship of several generations, help! Qu Tu informed that the old guy was older than himself in terms of seniority. But his mother's martial arts are good bubbling. It is said that even now Yuwen Chengdu is still not an opponent of Yujuluo.
People who are nearly sixty years old, not to mention anything else, can have this physical strength, which is quite rare!
Song Laosheng was gone for three days, and Li Er led the army to come. Li Er did not join forces with Li Yuan, but formed a village in the upper reaches of Song Laosheng. formed a rivalry with Li Yuan, and the situation was very unfavorable to Qu Tutong.
Qu Tutong secretly rejoiced, fortunately it was winter. Although it was conducive to Li Yuan crossing the river, it also restricted Li Er's dam building. If it is a period of high water, Li Er only needs to build a dam upstream. When enough water is held, the downstream Qututong will be soaked in the water.
Looking at the prosperity of Li Erjun's appearance, the colorful flags fluttering in the crowd, the gongs and drums are noisy, and the swords and guns are bright, it is obvious that Huoyi's victory has greatly boosted the morale of the Jinyang army. Even with it, in the Li Yuan military camp opposite, it seemed that there was also energy. Sent troops to invite soldiers to fight all day long, and Liu Wenjing also selected more than a dozen soldiers with loud voices to humiliate Qu Tutong in the distance. How ugly and ugly the scolding words are, Sang Xian was so angry that he couldn't get the order for Qu Tutong to fight.
Qu Tutong has not been idle these days, and the soldiers have played with their lives. Three trenches were dug in front of the camp, and the trees cut down made into a barrage for horse repellent. The excavated sand was piled up like a hill on the edge of the barracks, forming a natural commanding height. On the top of the mountain, a team of 100 crossbowmen is stationed, and the lethality under the cover of the strong crossbow is absolutely amazing.
Li Er looked at Qu Tutong's camp, and couldn't help but smack his tongue secretly. It is worthy of a generation of famous generals, and the military array is arranged in accordance with rules and regulations. Such an army formation is almost perfect, and if you want to break through those trenches and rejecting red horses, you can't do it without filling in tens of thousands of people. It was not easy to build such a camp in such a short period of time.
"His grandmother's, Qu Tutong, this old dog is stuck here, we can't advance or retreat. Why don't you discuss it with Grandpa Guo, let's go directly to attack Chang'an. As long as you take Chang'an, you are not afraid that this old dog will not come out. Liu Hongji looked at the strict military formation and scolded his mother with hatred. can scold the mother and scold the mother, Qu Tutong can't get out, and they have no way.
"The main force in Hedong can't come, and our strength is not enough to break through these camps. You see, Qu Tutong is still building fortifications and trenches. With each passing day, it became more difficult to defeat him. Yin Kaishan glanced at it and sighed helplessly.
"If you want me to say, go directly to Chang'an." Liu Hongji saw that no one answered his words, and shouted again.
"Fight Chang'an? It's up to you? How many of us know? The casualties under Huoyi City, we don't even have more than 20,000 people. Just rely on these people to fight Chang'an? Can you fly, can you fly into the city? Duan Zhixuan asked questions repeatedly, choking Liu Hongji with a red face and a thick neck, but he had nothing to say. These horses are really not qualified to attack Chang'an City.
"In any case, these strongholds must be breached. If we don't defeat Qu Tutong, even if we enter the pass, we will be attacked on our backs. Li Er stopped the quarrel between his subordinates. What kind of goods these outlaws are, Li Er knows best. Now it's a quarrel, and it's time for a while. It is not unheard of to slash each other with knives.
Li Yuanba was lying on the couch, and Huo Yi's injuries were not serious. The quality of the Yun family armor is guaranteed, although it cannot avoid several skin trauma. But under that kind of high-intensity battle, it is very rare to be able to protect Li Yuanba from being divided by chaotic people. Just look at the shocking scratches on the armor to know how dangerous Li Yuanba was in that battle.
Li Er walked into the military tent and saw Li Yuanba lying like that. A beam of light penetrated through the exhaust vent, piercing the darkness of the tent like a sharp sword. Watching the dust flutter in the sunlight, his eyes didn't miss. Just look straight at it, as if you have to watch the fluttering dust fall to the ground.
The silence in the military tent was terrible, and there was no one who came here to make a noise. Everyone knows that the current third son is a little abnormal. If you go crazy, the sledgehammer will be dead. In fact, even if it is Liu Hongji's kind of outlaw and killing talent, he has to hide when he encounters this military tent.
"Third brother! Third brother? Li Er looked at it for a long time, and he was sure that Li Yuanba saw him, but Li Yuanba didn't say anything. Just lying still, motionless like a dead man.
Li Er began to regret a little that he didn't listen to Chai Shao's words. Listening to Yun Hao, Li Yuanba was very sick. needs to be sent to Sun Simiao for treatment, but Li Er thinks that this is the time to employ people, how can he let a fierce general like Li Yuanba go to treat the disease. And in Li Er's opinion, there is nothing wrong with Li Yuanba at all. Yun Hao's words were nothing more than sensational.
Now that he believes it, Li Yuanba has become stupid and stupid. Even when he saw him, the second brother, he didn't say a word. At this time, Li Yuanba and the crazy god of war on the battlefield are basically two people.
Li Yuanba ignored Li Er's call and still lay there. The eyes were wide open, hollow and deep. Li Er couldn't even understand what he was looking at.
"The third, the third! I'm your second brother, what's wrong with you? ”
Li Yuanba suddenly turned his head and looked at Li Er with no interesting or emotion in his eyes. "Are you going to kill again?"
Li Er was surprised to find that Li Yuanba talked about killing people. The calm eyes immediately began to dye a trace of blood red, although it was only for a moment, the sensitive Li Er had already felt the monstrous killing intent. Even he felt that the reason why Li Yuanba didn't do anything to him was just because he was Li Shimin. However, Li Er is not sure how long he can maintain this clarity. If he really went crazy, would he attack him? Li Yuanba on the battlefield has always been friend and foe. As long as the distance is enough, he will not hesitate to give a hammer.
"I'll get someone to prepare a meal for you." Li Er didn't know what to say, and he felt keenly that he should quit. He couldn't guarantee that Li Yuanba would not attack him.
"Second brother, I don't want to go to the battlefield anymore. Can you send me back to Jinyang? Li Yuanba's eyes suddenly cleared, and his tone of voice was almost pleading.
"Okay, I'll go tell my father. Send you back to Jinyang to recuperate, second brother...... Second brother, I'm sorry for you. Li Er rarely apologized to Li Yuanba. If it weren't for the fact that he didn't listen to Chai Shao's dissuasion, Li Yuanba wouldn't be like this. Chai Shao said that Li Yuanba can't see blood like this. If he goes to war again, he will really go crazy.
Song Laosheng galloped wildly on horseback for three days and finally arrived at Tongguan.
Tongguan north of the Yellow River south on the mountainside, "Water Jing Note" contains: "The river flows south in the pass Tongjiguan Mountain, because it is called Tongguan."
Tongguan is located at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, when the city was built on the loess plateau, the Sui Dynasty moved south for several miles, located at the crossing of the Yellow River, located in the Jin, Shaanxi, Henan three provinces to rush, choke the key of Chang'an to Luoyang post road, is the key to enter and exit the three Qin, so it has become the end of the Han Dynasty since the end of the Han Dynasty into the Central Plains and the west out of the Guanzhong, the Western Regions must pass through the place and the key pass of the pass, has always been the place where the soldiers must fight, known as "the first danger in the Jin", "the throat of the four towns", "one hundred and two passes" reputation.
The terrain of Tongguan is very dangerous, and there are Qinling Mountains in the south. There is a forbidden valley in the southeast, and there are 12 cities in the south of the valley; There are Wei and Luo Erchuan in the north, and the Yellow River hugs down, and the west is near Huayue. The surrounding mountains are even mountains, peaks are even peaks, the valleys are deep and the precipices are exclusive, the mountains are high and the roads are narrow, and there is a narrow sheep intestine path in the middle, and only one car and one horse can be allowed to go back and forth. In the past, people often compared the situation here with "the danger of the road and the ape" and "the danger of the road stopping at Tongguan in the world". Since then, Du Fuyou has also had the verses of "Zhangren sees the important place, narrow and narrow bicycles, struggles to grow halberds, and uses a husband for eternity".
Such an important pass, of course, must be guarded by fierce generals. This fierce general is the famous general Yu Juluo of the Great Sui. However, this Yujuluo veteran is not trusted by Yang Guang, and the reason is a bit ridiculous. The fish has double pupils, also known as double pupils. It is said that he has been the face of the emperor since ancient times, and Yang Guang is careful of his eyes, how can he tolerate Yujuluo. If it weren't for Yu Juluo's bravery, and there was no handle in Yang Guang's hands, he would have been cleaned up a long time ago.
Even so, Yang Guang carefully sent a deputy general to Yujuluo to monitor the reality in the name of assistance. That is Yang Guangqin's Tianbao general Yuwen Chengdu, because it happens that the master-apprentice relationship between the two of them happens. It seems logical to let Yuwen Chengdu be Yujuluo's deputy general.
As a result, a pass like Tongguan became the most heavily defended place in the Great Sui. Whether it was Li Yuan or Li Mi, or some other anti-king, he didn't even have the heart to attack Tongguan. Without him, you can't beat it.
"Master, that Li Yuan's third son, Li Yuanba, is arrogant by nature. Relying on his innate divine power, he has iron armor to protect himself. He rampaged in the military formation, and our army suffered heavy losses when he encountered him, so that he was defeated by Huoyi. Song Laosheng knelt in front of Yu Juluo, crying with tears in his eyes.
"The strong on the battlefield are respected, what so much nonsense. If you can fight, you can fight, and if you can't fight, you can't beat it. Skills are not as good as others, what excuses to make. The old man doesn't believe it, a single horse can mess up your tens of thousands of soldiers and horses.
When the sun sets to teach you martial arts, it means that you are unwilling to work hard. When you encounter a lot of abuse, you are naturally dominant, and now when you encounter stubble, you come to the teacher for help. Why didn't you listen to the hard work you were asked to do the hard work at the beginning? The time spent touching the handle of the knife is far less than the time spent touching a woman's buttocks. Hum! didn't let Li Xuanba smash you to death with a hammer, which was cheap for you. ”
Yu Juluo disliked Song Laosheng and embarrassed himself, and he was even more angry when he saw Song Laosheng kneeling on the ground crying. Crying like a girl, how could she be blind to accept such an apprentice.
