Chapter 486: Soldiers are coming to the city
Li Hao ordered troops on the school field, and gave Li Zhen a lieutenant military position, leading 3,000 troops, but Li Hao had a request, Li Zhen's team must fight under his nose, and he can guide at any time, after all, Li Zhen is inexperienced, and at the same time, Li Hao is also afraid that he will have an accident, and it is not good to explain to Li Yuanzhong when he goes back, Li Yuanzhong is such a precious son.
After the end of the order, the 6,000 army went to the city wall and began to defend, more than 20 scouts went out of the city to investigate, and reported the enemy's whereabouts every half an hour.
In the evening, the barbarian army came to the north of Youzhou City ten miles away and stopped, began to camp, just set up camp, the Wei King Li Tai and Cui's people came, and brought a long ox cart, these ox carts were full of grain, a total of 30,000 stones, of course, there were 3,000 taels of gold, these are all gifts they gave to the generals of the three clans.
The commander of the three armies came out to welcome Li Tai into the camp, seeing such a rich meeting gift, the commanders of the three clans narrowed their eyes with a smile, they didn't have much oil and water to fish outside the pass, they didn't expect that as soon as they led the troops into the Central Plains, the King of Wei gave such a generous gift, full of sincerity, how could they not be happy.
The commander of the three armies welcomed Li Tai into the tent, slaughtered cattle and sheep, and put on a banquet to entertain Li Tai and the three elders of the Cui family.
This time, Xue Yantuo's leading commander is called Murqin, who is the confidant of Zhenzhu Khan, the Hui commander is called Gesa, and the Khitan coach is called Ramulun, the Khitan civilization in this period is weak, and the clansmen have no surnames, only names, and most of their names are related to place names, and the name of Ramulun must be related to the West Ramulun River.
Although the three generals are all commanders, but there are also primary and secondary, Xue Yantuo has the strongest national strength, this time he sent 30,000 troops, Murqin naturally sat in the main position, followed by Hui Hui, Gesa sat on the left hand side of Murqin, as for the Khitan, it is the weakest, the Khitan is still in the nomadic tribe stage, this time only 10,000 troops were dispatched, so Lamurun sat on the right hand side of Murqin.
After everyone sat down, Cui Gongwang called the six dancers brought this time, and presented a dance performance first, everyone drank while watching the beauties dance, this group of barbarians dreamed of sleeping with Tang women, not to mention these carefully selected beautiful dancers, the three bosses all saw their eyes straight, and they almost drooled.
Cui Gongwang saw everything in his eyes, and after the song and dance were over, Cui Gongwang smiled and said: "Three generals, can the dance of my Datang enter the eyes of the three laws?" ”
"Good! Good! Good! The three of them applauded in unison, and Mu Erqin also added, "The stage is beautiful, and the people are more beautiful!" ”
Cui Gongwang smiled and said: "Since the general likes it, it just so happens that there are six beauties here, and the three will choose two each, and the old man will send them to the three generals' tents later." ”
"This ...... How embarrassing is that. Mu Erqin said embarrassed, but his eyes roamed around the six beauties, he was the boss, so he naturally had to choose the best first.
The six dancers all lowered their heads when they heard this, crying silently, from the moment they entered Cui's mansion, they knew that their tragic fate was doomed, but they had no choice, they couldn't even commit suicide, because their beloved relatives were in Cui's hands.
Li Tai smiled at this time and said: "The three generals must not be polite, the three have come from afar, we naturally have to do the friendship of the landlord, and after the capture of Youzhou, this king will send several beauties to each of the three." ”
"Then we're welcome." Hearing this, Mu Erqin wiped his greasy mouth, stretched out his finger and said, "You...... And you, Ben Shuai wanted. ”
Cui Gongwang waved his hand at a guard behind him, and the guard immediately led the two women out of the tent.
Next, Gesa and Ramulun also picked two beauties each, and Cui Gongwang sent people to send them to their tooth tents, but the three generals were very happy, Li Tai in order to please them, but he invested enough money to send money and food to women, if Li Shimin knew, it was estimated that he would be so angry that he vomited blood, this is the good son he gave birth to.
Next, Murqin and the others each invited the soldiers of the three tribes to come in and perform the dance, feeling that their banquet was a cultural exchange meeting, and finally, the cultural exchange was over, and all the idle people and others retreated, and they began to talk about business.
Mu Erqin first asked: "King Wei, I don't know how many troops there are in Youzhou City now?" ”
Li Tai replied: "The current strength in Youzhou City is estimated to be between 10,000 and 15,000. ”
Mu Erqin was overjoyed when he heard this: "With only such a small number of troops, Ben Shuai can take Youzhou in three days!" ”
"General, don't be too happy." Li Tai suddenly said, "Li Hao is also in the city. ”
"What!" The commanders of the three armies exclaimed in unison, as if they had seen a ghost.
Li Tai frowned when he saw this, he didn't expect Li Hao's name to surprise them so much, which made him very unhappy, why could Li Hao, this kid, be so famous, just mentioning his name, the commanders of the three armies were surprised like this.
Mu Erqin frowned and said, "Li Hao is also in Youzhou City, why didn't you say it earlier?" ”
"What if you said it earlier?" Li Tai frowned when he heard this, he was very dissatisfied with Mu Erqin's words.
Mu Erqin was speechless for a moment, did he want to say: I knew that Li Hao was in Youzhou, and Lao Tzu would not come, which is too embarrassing.
Cui Gong saw that the atmosphere was a little stiff, and hurriedly interjected: "Three generals, rest for a while, and listen to the old man's words." ”
Murqin nodded: "You say." ”
Cui Gongwang said: "General Murqin, Li Hao is really good at fighting, you must know this very well, but Li Hao is a human, he is not an immortal, he has no three heads and six arms, and he does not have the ability to fly to the sky......
"You talk nonsense!" Gesa glared when he heard this, and shouted, "I have long heard that Li Hao will have that thunder true trick, I heard that it is your Tang Taoist spell, it is very powerful, it can lead to thunder and lightning in the sky, the power is infinite, and with a swing of the sword, it can kill thousands of people......"
"These are rumors." Li Tai directly interrupted him and said coldly, "Li Hao knows how to spell, this king has sent someone to check, it is completely false, it is very likely to be a trick, even if he really knows spells, the power is not as great as you said, this king also heard that Li Hao's spell cannot be used at will, and if you use it too much, it will lose your life, otherwise, when he was in Anxi and Beiting, why didn't he directly use spells to destroy your army of the Seven Kingdoms, and what kind of battle did he have to lead his troops to?" ”
The three of them also felt quite reasonable when they heard it, originally they thought this thing was a bit absurd and bizarre, but after Li Tai's explanation, it made even more sense.
Cui Gongwang added at the right time: "Three, Li Hao is actually better in Youzhou, you might as well take the opportunity to kill him in Youzhou, as soon as Li Hao dies, Datang is like a pillar stone, and it will be much easier to deal with Datang next." ”
Mu Erqin nodded thoughtfully: "Well, there is some truth, but Ben Shuai wants to know if the conditions you promised will be fulfilled after the matter is completed." ”
"That's nature." Li Tai suddenly straightened his waist and said solemnly, "This king swears in the name of his ancestors, as long as you help this king win the throne, this king is willing to cede 5,000 li of territory, and give you 200,000 taels of gold, 100,000 heads of cattle and sheep, and 500,000 stones of grain. ”
"Good!" Mu Erqin slapped the table suddenly, picked up the wine bottle and said, "King Wei is so generous, we should do our best to serve!" After that, he picked up the wine bottle and raised his head to drink, and the others also raised the bottle to drink.
Mu Erqin drank it first, looked at Li Tai who was drinking with his head up, and showed a sneer, he was very happy, Li Shimin was famous, how could he give birth to such a stupid son, what they were worried about was five thousand miles of territory and a little bit of golden cattle and sheep, they wanted the Tang Dynasty to be destroyed, they wanted the Tang Dynasty's thousands of miles of territory, in fact, it was not Li Tai who was stupid, he was just blinded by the desire for power, blinded by lard, and carried away by hatred.
The banquet lasted for an hour and a half before it ended, although he drank a lot of wine, Mu Erqin was still very sober, and next, he was going back to the camp to be happy with the two beauties, but he still did not forget to explain that he must be strictly defended at night to prevent the enemy from attacking the camp at night, after all, this time it was Li Hao who led the army to guard Youzhou with the title of the god of the Tang Dynasty, and Li Hao's name alone could make him a spirit.
Li Hao stood at the head of the city, looking at the enemy camp with a telescope, but he couldn't see anything, he was very annoyed, the telescope he had before lent Xue Rengui, after all, Xue Rengui was going to lead the troops to fight, he naturally wanted to lend him a good telescope, and the telescope in his hand was later asked by Li Cheng to "mail" over, due to the urgency of time, Li Cheng couldn't get a good telescope, the night vision function of this telescope is really poor, the kind that must be given a bad review, Li Hao can't see the state of the enemy camp at all.
The so-called knowing oneself and knowing the other can survive a hundred battles, the reason why Li Hao can use soldiers like a god, and the night vision telescope is indispensable, it is a plug-in.
Since he couldn't figure out the situation of the enemy's camp, Li Hao naturally didn't dare to easily send troops to attack the camp, in case someone set up a net and waited there, it would be bad, he didn't have many troops, and if he lost three or five thousand people, there would be no need to fight this battle.
Looking at the cheap telescope in his hand, Li Hao said to himself: "If you have time, you must ask my brother to 'mail' me a decent telescope again, no, two, no, three." ”
There was nothing to say all night, the next morning, Li Hao got up early to practice, after practicing, he climbed the city tower to personally inspect the city defense, and at the same time used a telescope to observe the movement of the enemy camp.
As soon as he looked through the binoculars, he found that the enemy camp was moving troops and horses frequently, and it seemed that he was ready to go out, and Li Hao hurriedly ordered the whole city army to prepare to meet the enemy.
Sure enough, it didn't take long for the army of the three clans to advance in three ways, and came to the city of Youzhou, Xue Yantuo's army was due north, the Hui army was in the east, the Khitan army was in the west, and the siege of the Eight Classics was to force Li Hao to abandon the city.
How could Li Hao abandon the city, Youzhou is a military powerhouse in Hebei, and there are nearly 200,000 Tang people in the city, if they escape, what will happen to these people?
The army of the three clans came to the city, Li Hao personally climbed to the head of the city, commanded the defense, everything was ready, the war drums sounded in the position of the army of the three clans, and I saw the barbarian army carrying the ladder and holding the shield towards Youzhou City.
Looking at the dense army under the city, Li Hao suddenly had a sense of tragedy, this feeling has not appeared for a long time, the last time, it was when he was trapped in Tingzhou many years ago.
Li Hao's pride rose sharply in his heart, and he looked up to the sky and shouted: "Sons! What are you fighting for? ”
When the soldiers of the northern city wall heard this, they shouted in unison: "Fight for those who are powerless to fight!" ”
The voice was heard, and the soldiers on the other three walls also shouted: "Fight for those who are powerless to fight!" ”
More than 10,000 people roared in unison, cracking the clouds and roaring out the momentum of the Tang Dynasty soldiers, which made the enemy troops under the city slow down.
