Chapter 471: Bringing troops in
"Luo Yi, what did you do?"
In the firelight, Xue Shixiong, the thin general of the Left Imperial Guard, arrived with hundreds of soldiers who had been hastily assembled, but he was a step late after all. As soon as he arrived not far from the tent of Li Jing, the general of the Right Military Guard, he happened to see Hu Benlang shoot Li Jing off his horse with three consecutive beads with one hand, and he didn't know whether he was alive or dead.
Xue Shixiong came in a hurry, he didn't even have armor on his body, but he was wearing a long-sleeved robe, with his thin body, but the whole person was more like a secretary, and not like the deputy marshal of the army of more than 200,000 at all. Along the way, I saw that the entire Guancheng was already in chaos, and then I saw that Luo Yi, who was a friend of the world, actually shot down the commander of the generals, and I was very angry for a while.
Luo Yi put away the bow in his hand, still with a little smile on his face, and pointed at the night sky in the east with the bow, "Brother Xue, you can know everything by looking at that side." ”
At this time, in the night sky in the east, there are a few dazzling big characters hanging in the night sky, which is extraordinarily bright. "Liaodong Army" Xue Shixiong gritted his teeth and read out the three big characters in the air, his eyes full of disbelief.
"You, you actually betrayed the imperial court and colluded with the Liaodong rebels?" Xue Shixiong looked at Luo Yi and said coldly.
Luo Yi faced Xue Shixiong's scolding, but he didn't care much. He frowned and looked around, only to find that many generals had gathered around him at this time. The camp outside had already been in chaos, with their own people on all sides, and these generals didn't understand what was going on, so they had to rush to find the commanders in charge.
Luo Yi's eyes rolled, but a plan came to his mind again. Li Jing is dead, and now Xue Shixiong has the highest official position in the army. Originally, he also thought that when he met Xue Shixiong, he would simply kill him together, so that the Hebei army in Linyu Pass would have the highest seniority in him. At that time, he persuaded these people to surrender to Liaodong. At that time, he will be able to set up more functions with Chen Pojun.
But for now. This plan fell through. Now that all the generals and colonels in the army are here, it is impossible for him to blatantly kill Xue Shixiong at this time. And if he can't kill him, then he has to convince him, otherwise the Liaodong army will enter the pass, and he will be able to clean them up for a while.
After turning his heart around, Luo Yi smiled, "What does Xue Shuai mean by this?" Now that things have been done, there is nothing to worry about. This is not our betrayal of the imperial court. It was the imperial court that had already abandoned us. A few days ago, you discussed with me, and I had already promised to be willing to advance and retreat with Xue Shuai. Is Xue Shuai still worried that Li Jing will obstruct it? Don't worry about this anymore, you also saw it just now, Li Jing fell into my triple beads, and it is impossible to come back to life. ”
Xue Shixiong was shocked when he heard this, "Luo Yi, what are you talking about?" When did Ben Shuai discuss something with you? ”
Not only Xue Shixiong, but also the generals on the side, all looked at Luo Yi and Xue Shixiong in surprise at this time. The words that Luo Yi said just now were a little unclear, although everyone still didn't understand what they meant. But I already heard a little doubt. What did Xue Shuai and General Luo discuss before? Why are they worried that Li Dashuai will obstruct it? And why did Luo become so bold that he actually launched a mutiny for this matter and killed the handsome?
Luo Yi said unhurriedly, "Handsome and rest assured." Everything is going according to plan, and in a little while, the Liaodong Army will enter the customs. Liaodong Chen Dashuai had already sent someone to pass the word, and he felt Xue Shuai's help very much. It was with the help of Xue Shuai, with the help of General Xue Dingguo and Xue Wanche and other five generals, that the 100,000 troops of Liaodong were able to make a detour through the grassland without Li Jing's knowledge. And under the arrangement of the marshal, he successfully entered Hebei from the military capital. Now that Zhuo County, Shanggu and other counties in Hebei have been taken, and the four counties of Taihang Mountain and Hebei have also been successfully controlled, our plan has been completely successful. ”
Hearing this, Xue Shixiong finally understood what Luo Yi meant. Luo Yi mutinied tonight, and the inside and outside should join forces to present the Liaodong Army. But at this time, he actually hit a palladium back, after killing Li Jing. actually said that all this was arranged by himself. After listening to Luo Yi's words, Xue Shixiong pointed at Luo Yi and said a few words in a row, but he was in a hurry, spit out a mouthful of blood, and fell off the horse.
At this time, the nearby generals were even more frightened, and they didn't expect that tonight would be such a big event.
All of a sudden, on this night of rebellion, hundreds of officers surrounded the colonel in the center of the camp, but they were silent for a while. Everyone was shocked in their hearts, at this time they no longer had time to think about why Xue Shuai and General Luo would sacrifice the pass to surrender to the enemy, but they were all thinking about what they should do next. …,
After being silent for a long time, a Huyalang general suddenly said, "General Luo, is it true that the Liaodong Army has been imprisoned in Hebei since its own army, and has already occupied many counties in Hebei?" ”
Someone spoke, and many people followed suit, "Didn't Chen Pojun marry the princess and accept His Majesty's appeasement?" Why is it suddenly reversed? ”
"Yes, I saw him in Luhe Town a few days ago, why did he go to Hebei in a blink of an eye. Is this true? I heard that Chen Pojun's Daxu is still hanging in Luhe Town, Liaoxi, will what you said before be wrong? ”
Luo Yi listened to these people's questions, but he was happy in his heart. These generals can ask such a question, which shows that in their hearts, few people care so much about whether to surrender the Liaodong Army. They just want to know if the situation in Hebei is really so unbearable. If it is true, then they will definitely choose to surrender to the Liaodong Army.
Nodding vigorously, Luo Yi said loudly, "Brothers of the Hebei Army, just a few days ago, under the guidance of Xue Dingguo and other five generals of the Xue family, Chen Pojun personally led an army of 100,000 to take advantage of the grassland, detour through the military capital, and my son Luo Cheng personally opened and closed to Hebei. Nowadays, the Liaodong Army has occupied several counties of Zhuo County, Shanggu County, Hengshan County, and Taihang Mountain, and has blocked the passage pass from Hedong to Hebei. The soldiers and horses of the imperial court can no longer enter Hebei, just now, we have opened the gate of Linyu Guandong Pass, and the 150,000 troops of the Liaodong Army have entered the pass. Brothers, the fall of the Sui Dynasty is imminent, and the Liaodong Army has taken advantage of the situation, and now it is time for us to choose again. Good birds choose trees to perch, good generals choose the Lord to serve, everyone, don't stand in the wrong line tonight! ”
Seeing the uncertain faces of some generals and schools, Luo Yi added fuel to the fire.
"Chen Dashuai has already said that if he is willing to stay and join the Liaodong Army, he will retain your official positions, and he will definitely choose talents and reuse them. And if you don't want to, the marshal doesn't force it, as long as you restrain your subordinates to put down their weapons, the marshal lets you stay. ”
"What should I do?"
The generals from all sides gathered together in twos and threes, all hesitating and discussing with each other.
A tiger benlang from Hebei said, "It's better to wait and see what happens for the time being, and then make plans." "He was born in the Hebei Army, and his family members are all in Hebei, although Luo Yi said that he could let him stay, but he didn't dare to really believe it in his heart. If he really leaves, I am afraid that his family in Hebei may not be protected by then.
Zhou Zenghui, the general of the left imperial guard, who is one level higher than Luo Yi, shook his head, he is Xue Shixiong's second officer, as the second in command of the left imperial guard, although he is not as brave as Luo Yi on the battlefield, but the ups and downs of this officialdom are very experienced. In today's situation, you can either pick up a knife and fight these rebels to the death, or join the Liaodong Army happily. Apart from these two, there can never be a third way, either/or.
However, although I understand it in my heart, it is also difficult to make a choice in my heart. He was not born in Hebei, he was born in Guanlong, and his family was in Luoyang City at this time, although reason told him that he should immediately join the Liaodong Army without saying a word. In this way, maybe in the future, Chen Pojun will win the world, and he will also be able to have a dragon and be a founding hero. But when he turned his head, he understood that in this way, his relatives in Luoyang City were afraid that they would never see him again.
After thinking about it, in the end, Zhou Zenghui gritted his teeth, stomped his feet, and walked towards Luo Yi.
"General Luo, since this matter was planned by Xue Shuai and General Luo together, then the general has no opinion, and he is willing to attach Weiji."
"Okay, General Zhou really knows how to do things." Luo Yi was even happier to see that a general of Zhou Zenghui's level was willing to surrender. Busy holding his hand affectionately, with a smile on his face.
As soon as Zhou Zenghui made a statement, most of his subordinates followed him as soon as possible. Gradually, more and more people stood up, except for a few who were still standing there hesitating, and for a while most of the officers standing here surrendered.
Several fast horses rushed straight forward, and the sound of the horses' hooves hitting the ground made many officers sweat.
Immediately, the knight turned over and dismounted in front of Luo Yi, and said loudly, "Father, the Liaodong army has entered the customs, and Marshal Li, General Lu, General Mao, and the Liaodong army are about to enter the East City Gate." ”
Hearing that the Liaodong Army had finally entered the customs, Luo Yi's heart was completely relaxed.
Luo Yi was dressed in armor, carrying a horizontal knife, striding in front of the undecided generals in the camp, his eyes scanning everyone like electricity. Like a silent announcement, everyone knows that this is the last chance, and when the Liaodong Army arrives, they just want to surrender, and it is estimated that people may not be willing to accept it.
"Can you think again, my lords? That will give you a little more time, I hope that after General Ben welcomes the adults of Liaodong into the customs, you have already figured it out. After speaking, Luo Yi gestured to several captains behind him, and several captains had already brought people over and surrounded those generals who had not yet decided.
Luo Yi took a few steps forward and said to those generals who had already decided to surrender to Liao, "Generals, please go to Dongcheng with this general to welcome the Liaodong Army into the customs!" ”
