518 Rossin surrenders
Li Mi looked at this person, this Wang Bodang, who had been following him in Yang Xuangan's army until now, was in addition to Chai Xiaohe, he trusted one of his most trusted military advisors, when he was in trouble, he followed Yang Xuangan to rebel and failed to be arrested, if it weren't for this Wang Bodang's strategy, he came up with a drunken escort of officers and soldiers, took the opportunity to escape, and took refuge in Wagang's idea, he Li Mi would have died on the execution ground a few years ago.
If there is one person in this Wagang army who can gain his complete trust, it must be this Wang Bodang, and what Wang Bodang said is also one of the most important references for him to make decisions.
He looked at another person, Cheng Yanjin, who had a relationship with Zhen Mingku, since the last time Zhai Rang did something that intended to commit murder to the Zhang family, and Li Mi gave in to Zhai Rang's order, Cheng Yanjin had rarely spoken during the discussion, obviously dissatisfied.
"Biting gold, what do you think?"
Cheng bit Jin's face with reluctance, and said in a deep voice: "I haven't seen Zhen Mingku for many years, when I and Brother Wei Chi escaped from Luoyang because of the pursuit of the government, he was just a small instrument counselor, what happened for so many years, how could he become a general of the secret guard, I don't know, I only know that he is affectionate and righteous, and he takes care of his wife even more, and treats him as a treasure. I am absolutely convinced. ”
Another person interjected: "According to the information that Luoyang's eyeliner came back, although this Zhen Ming is deeply used by the emperor, it can be absurd, and there are often shocking acts, I heard that the emperor has also persuaded the emperor to call Chang'an, but he was stripped of his reputation by the emperor and imprisoned for a month, and he was almost cut off his head, and then he was appointed as an idle position such as a judge for the selection of concubines, and now it seems that it is not uncommon for him to defect for his wife." ”
When Li Mi heard this, he had a conclusion in his heart and asked: "Do you guess that he can't go back to Luoyang to rescue the troops this time, what tricks will he play next?" ”
Before anyone else could answer, a messenger came from the door: "Report! Four hundred miles expedited! ”
"Hand it over!"
A dusty herald walked into the hall and handed Li Mi a sealed urgent letterhead in his hand.
Li Mi took it apart and looked at it a few times, his face was first surprised, and then he said happily: "God really helps me Wagang!" ”
Everyone asked.
Li Mi said with a smile: "The news just came from the front line, saying that it was Luo Shixin, the forward general in Wang Shichong's army, who fought with the Chai army division a few days ago, and led 3,000 elites to ask for surrender to our Wagang army yesterday. ”
Everyone was stunned.
One person was puzzled: "This Luo Shixin was originally listed as the champion of the new science and technology of the Imperial Thai Dynasty with Zhen Mingku, he was very skilled, and he was deeply trusted by Yang Dong, how could he suddenly ask me to surrender to Wagang, Duke Wei, beware of fraud, it is better to be careful." ”
Wang Bodang said with a smile: "If you can get this one of the fierce generals, my Wagang army will be like a tiger with wings, if he is a false surrender, Wang has a way to try him." ”
Li Mixi said: "Brother Wang, what is the plan, please tell me quickly." ”
Wang Bodang smiled and said slowly, like this, a group of people listened, some people felt risky, and some people thought this plan was very good.
After listening to this, Li Mi couldn't help but ask: "Then according to Brother Wang's opinion, who should be sent to accept the invitation?" ”
Wang Bodang glanced at Liu Heimin, who had not said a word from beginning to end, and said with a smile: "General Liu is brave and brave, and he is the only one who has this trip." ”
The generals nodded one after another, and in Li Mi's camp, there was only one Liu Heimin who could fight alone against Xu Shiji and Shan Xiongxin under Zhai Rang's camp, although they were not very compatible with the generals, but they were undoubtedly the best candidates for this trip.
Li Mi asked, "What does Brother Liu think?" ”
Liu Heimin said in a rough voice: "Once the general is surrendered, what is there to be afraid of, but I don't worry about my goose girl, if I leave, Bing Yuan will really take advantage of my absence to attack her." ”
Li Mi smiled and said: "Brother Liu, you can rest assured, since Brother Zhai has promised not to kill her, he should not use any unruly means to assassinate a weak woman, not to mention that there is Shan Yunying watching her, this crazy woman hates Bing Yuan Zhen the most, how can she let Bing Yuan really succeed, in a few days the Wagang army will be pulled, and then she will go to Cangcheng with the army." ”
Liu Heimin said: "Then I'll go this way." ”
After speaking, he turned around and strode out of the Wei Mansion Chamber.
……
Not far from Cangcheng, by the Luo River, people and horses neighed, banners were scattered on the battlefield, and swords, guns, swords, and halberds were stained with blood.
The one-kilometer radius was littered with severed limbs, the snow had been trampled into a mixture of ice and water, and hot blood was spilled on the snow, the harsh bright red color was particularly vivid in the winter sun, and there were bursts of heat.
The smell of blood permeated the air.
Covered with arrows and covered with knife wounds, the horses neighed, trying to stand up, but repeatedly fell, and the battlefield was cleaned by the medical team of the Imperial Thai Dynasty's vanguard Youling Guard, who were examining the wounded, bringing out some soldiers who could still be treated, regardless of friend or foe, and bandaging them.
Some of the seriously injured and incurable, but still not dead, they all gave them a knife to make up for them, ending their lives is more merciful than leaving them to fend for themselves, what they can do is to make the knife a little faster, so that they will suffer less.
Although the battle was won, the casualties on both sides were equally heavy.
The waters of the Luo River were red, and the boats full of soldiers were now empty, and the corpses were floating all over the river, and no one was interested in knowing the names of these dead people, and there were young and old people in the family, and they were not even treated as horse leather shrouds, and they went down with the water.
A group of thousands of cavalrymen, stepping on the blood of both the enemy and us, slowly walked through the cleared road and headed for Cangcheng, a few kilometers away......
……
The gates of Cangcheng were tightly closed.
Wearing the armor of the right Lingwei general, Luo Shixin rode on a tall horse, as a vanguard general, his task was to fight a victory for the Imperial Thai Army, improve morale, the Imperial Thai Army in the Wagang Army step by step pressure, has not fought a victory for too long, urgently need a victory.
The military order he received from Wang Shichong was that no matter what the price was, he would defeat Chai Xiaohe's army, and take the gate in front of Wagang in Cangcheng before the main force of the Wagang army had time to rush to the aid in the future.
"There are 3,000 Dark Guards in your vanguard camp, why worry about not being able to take Cangcheng, this king is waiting for General Luo's good news, if he can't win, General Luo will be responsible for poor command."
Wang Shichong, as the head of the march this time, said this, the intention of the communiqué and personal vendetta can be seen by fools, he is trying to borrow the hand of the Wagang army to remove the main force of the Dark Guard, so that the two sides will fight to defeat both sides, and then he will reap the benefits of the fisherman.
The binoculars in Luo Shixin's hand surveyed the movement on the walls of Cangcheng.
Beside him, a general in his mid-fifties, dressed in the uniform of the Wagang Army, was riding on a war horse.
He is Chai Xiaohe, the defender of Cangcheng, this battle, against Luo Shixin's right Ling guard, his 5,000 personal soldiers were all wiped out, and he also unfortunately fell into the river when he fled in panic, was rescued by the dark guards, and became Luo Shixin's prisoner.
Luo Shixin turned his head and glanced at the other party, "General Chai, I have you to introduce you." ”
