Chapter 484: The Man Behind the Scenes
From the very beginning, Qin Tian never thought about letting Luo Xiaobai go, the only difference was the method of killing him.
Dying here is almost the same as dying in Mengzhou City.
After Cheng Yanjin heard Qin Tian's words, he naturally understood what was going on.
"It's just killing someone, why bother?"
Qin Tian smiled bitterly, but did not continue the topic, but called Qin Wu and them over and asked them to collect all the people who surrendered tonight.
Some time ago, they suffered a lot of casualties in the siege of the city, and the surrender tonight can be regarded as making up for the number of casualties.
Now they have 15,000 soldiers to fight.
When the sky was bright, Tang Jun finally packed everything up, and the specific number of people was also reported.
Seeing that they were already three times the enemy, Cheng Yanjin was overjoyed in his heart, and said: "Okay, rest for a day, tomorrow we will go to attack the city, this time we must take Mengzhou City and end this rebellion." ”
Three times the enemy, it is indeed possible to attack the city, and they need to quell the rebellion as soon as possible, so when Cheng Yanjin said this, Qin Tian did not object.
Although the onslaught will cause them heavy casualties, it is the best way to put down the rebellion as quickly as possible.
As long as the rebels can be destroyed, what is the point of sacrificing some?
Their time is running out, and if they can't put down the rebellion, the other vassal kings will be ready to move.
Fighting all night, during the day, the Don army rested in the barracks.
And when the sky was just dawning, on the side of Mengzhou City, Li Yiyu had already obtained the result of last night's attack on the camp: the whole army was annihilated.
"Annihilation?" After the spies came to report, Li Yiyu suddenly stood up from his chair, in his opinion, the Tang army was completely vulnerable, and Luo Xiaobai and they attacked suddenly, the Tang army was unprepared, how could it be that they were all annihilated?
"General, we were fooled, it turned out that the Tang army had already prepared, so that General Fang died, and Luo Xiaobai also died......"
The spy explained the situation in detail, and when Li Yiyu heard this, his brows became heavier and heavier.
At this time, he finally understood what was going on, and he said that why the Tang Army was so vulnerable, it turned out that it was just to confuse them.
And his arrogant heart caused him to lose 5,000 soldiers and horses.
"Damn, hateful......" At this time, Li Yiyu hated Qin Tian to death.
"Tell me to go down, stick to the city day and night, don't be careless, and definitely can't let bronzing break through Mengzhou City."
After the defeat, Li Yiyu became cautious again, and soon, his remaining 5,000 soldiers and horses were divided into several classes and began to guard the city gates.
At the same time, Li Yiyu asked, "Mr. Lu, is there any news?" ”
Now, with the loss of 5,000 soldiers and horses at once, their grain and grass can naturally support them for a while longer, but even so, there is a time limit, if there is no news from the 3,000 side of the road, they may be broken by the Tang army.
"Mr. Lu, there is no news yet, but it should be soon."
"Go and inquire, and if there is any news, report it immediately."
"Whoa!"
The spy led the order to retreat, Li Yiyu's cheeks turned slightly white, and the feeling of uneasiness became stronger and stronger.
-----------------------
Huaizhou City.
Wing King's Mansion.
On this morning, a small servant hurriedly came to report: "Lord Wang, Lu 3,000 begged to see." ”
Wing King Li Luo, is Tang Yuan's younger brother, Chinese New Year's Eve this year, slightly obese, usually likes to laugh, when laughing, it feels like harmless to humans and animals.
Hearing that Lu Sanqian was back, Li Luo touched his fat cheeks, a little strange: "He didn't support Li Yiyu in Mengzhou, why did he run back?" ”
Li Luo was a little uneasy, and after thinking about it for a while, he immediately ordered someone to lead Lu Sanqian into the study.
In the study, the sunlight shines in through the window lattice, making the whole study look very quiet.
Li Luo sat in front of the window reading a book, and Lu Sanqian stood next to him.
"Lord Wang, the soldiers and horses of the imperial court are like broken bamboos, and they have already hit Mengzhou City, and now there are few soldiers and horses in Mengzhou, and there is little grain and grass, I am afraid that it is not the opponent of the imperial court, and my subordinates think that if you want to restrain the Tang army, I am afraid that the prince will support Li Yiyu again."
Lu Sanqian was Li Luo's advisor, when Li Yiyu fled and came to Huaizhou, Li Luo had the intention to rebel, so he took him in.
In Li Luo's view, such a Li Yiyu is a very good chess piece, looking for an opportunity to use Li Yiyu to rebel, if he succeeds, then he, the person behind the scenes, will naturally be able to ascend to the throne and become the Son of Heaven.
If the rebellion fails, it is also Li Yiyu's business, and it has nothing to do with his wing king Li Luo.
Of course, for him, it doesn't matter whether Li Yiyu's rebellion is successful or not, as long as he can rebel for more than half a year, even if other vassal kings are bound to take action to fight the world.
The imperial court can't even destroy a rebel like Li Yiyu, so they have heavy troops, if they don't rebel, it's too much to say, and now that Li Shimin has put Li Yuan under house arrest, they can raise troops under the banner of rescuing Li Yuan.
It's so rightly true, and it couldn't be better.
Li Luo has been waiting for this result, but what he didn't expect was that the imperial court soldiers and horses attacked Mengzhou City so quickly, and now the situation in Mengzhou City is extremely bad.
If this happens, I'm afraid my plan will be ruined.
Li Luo glanced up at Lu Sanqian and asked, "How long can you hold on?" ”
"If Mengzhou City is not broken by the Tang army, it can hold out for a month, but the imperial court soldiers and horses are very powerful, then Qin Tian is a good siege player, and his subordinates are worried that with Li Yiyu's ability, I am afraid that it will not last long, for the sake of the prince's plan, it is better to find a way as soon as possible."
Hearing that Mengzhou City could only last for a month, Li Luo immediately frowned, from the outbreak of the rebels to the present, less than two months, if it was extinguished by the imperial court in three months, then when the other vassal kings saw that the Tang army was so powerful, who would dare to rebel?
At that time, as Lu Sanqian said, his plan was going to be in vain.
Li Luo was silent, Lu Sanqian stood beside him, and he was not in a hurry to speak, this kind of thing is not easy to solve, and in front of Li Luo, he never showed off his cleverness.
The study room is becoming quieter and quieter, the weather in autumn is not good, the sun is very warm and comfortable.
After a long time, Li Luo finally spoke: "In the hands of this king, there are only 10,000 soldiers and horses now, you take 5,000 and go to Mengzhou to assist Li Yiyu, no matter what, you must hold on to this king for half a year, by the way, all the soldiers and horses, broken into pieces, after arriving in Mengzhou City, and then gather, you can't let the court see the flaws." ”
He must do a good job of protecting himself, even if Li Yiyu is dead, he can't let the court know that Li Yiyu is controlled by him behind his back, and as long as Li Yiyu can hold out for half a year, this world will definitely be a different situation.
After hearing this, Lu Sanqian didn't say much, and immediately took the order to retreat.
