Chapter 936: Northwest War
Chapter 941
It has been said that the most hated existence of a person is often himself.
Now Li Xingya has deeply realized this. It's really not a pleasure to fight against an opponent with such a similar fighting style.
However, Li Xingya already has a lot of strange opponents, and this time there is no worse one than a more eccentric.
After receiving Nohara's letter, Li Xingya immediately took action and personally wrote a letter back to Nohara Huo.
The letter said that he was kind-hearted and did not want to use swords. Of course, it is a good thing that everyone can put aside their disputes and think about the long term.
Shortly after the letter was sent, I received a reply from Nohara Fire. The meaning expressed in my heart is probably the same. Nohara Huo expressed his willingness to stop the dispute, and the two families turned the war into a jade silk.
Since both sides had the intention of a truce, everyone immediately set about carrying out this matter. Li Xingzai sent a team to negotiate peace and put forward his demands to the Rong people: since everyone wants to negotiate, the Rong people should immediately withdraw their troops to show their sincerity.
The Rong side agreed, but it would take some time to withdraw the troops, and we should be allowed to make some preparations.
The Rong people also put forward their demands, and they planned to withdraw their troops from the waterway, and asked Li Xingzai to open the passage above the river.
When the two sides came and went, and the foaming stars flew sideways, Li Xingzai personally led the army and made a hand for the Rong clan in the dark.
Naturally, Yeyuan Huo was not idle, and sent elite soldiers to cut off the grain transportation channel in Luofeng City. Li Xingzai suffered heavy casualties, lost a large amount of grain and grass, and Hua Mulan was injured and returned.
Li Xingzai was furious at what Yeyuan Huo did, and scolded this matter fiercely in his letter: Don't you want to negotiate, what's the matter with a cold and stuffy stick.
The Rong side lowered its posture, claiming that this incident was just a misunderstanding, an unauthorized action of a small number of people, and in no way represented the meaning of the majority of the Rong people.
In addition, the Rong people also asked Li Xingzai: What do you mean by sneaking up on our army's camp?
Li Xingzai also claimed that this was a misunderstanding, and in no way represented Li Xingzai's meaning.
The Rong people said that someone saw Li Xingzai, who led the troops, with their own eyes.
Li Xingzai replied that it was probably because you were mistaken, and this is absolutely impossible.
The two sides are wasting saliva, and letter after letter comes and goes. Blowing your beard and glaring at the negotiating table often ends up returning to the negotiating table.
But each other's hearts are mirror-like, there is no room for relaxation in this battle, and both sides have the determination to fight to the last man. Either the whole army will be annihilated, or the opponent will be completely defeated.
When arguing at the negotiation table, both sides were not idle, each giving the other side a knife. Both have the same goal, they both want to seal the victory before the official showdown.
Around this time, Cheng Dalei had already launched his own actions in the northwest.
Before the signs of this battle appeared, Cheng Dalei had already sent troops to Sanshui Pass and captured Runan City.
In order to prevent Cheng Dalei's attack, Yeyuan Fire placed a heavy army in the northwest tun. Now the Nohara fire is almost a two-front battle. On the one hand, it is necessary to attack Li Xingzai, and on the other hand, it is necessary to guard against Cheng Dalei.
Of course, the war in Jiangnan is more important in comparison. If Jiangnan is broken, it will be difficult for Cheng Dalei to support the overall situation. Unable to break through Jiangnan, it doesn't make much sense to defend Cheng Dalei.
Therefore, Yeyuan Huo rushed to Jiangnan in person, and the elite of the Rong clan were also in Jiangnan. The army in the northwest to guard against Cheng Dalei was mostly captured by the Rong people when they broke through the princes of all walks of life.
Their commander was Luo Yi Luo Cheng father and son.
Compared with Li Xingzai, Cheng Dalei is much more relaxed. He just made a name for himself in Jingzhou, and there was a big rear in Liangzhou behind him to maneuver. If you can beat it, you can fight it, but if you can't beat it, you can return to Liangzhou. Anyway, their purpose was not to break the Rong defense line, and the army poured into Jingzhou. Rather, it is here to attract the forces of the Rong people.
Cheng Dalei personally led the army, and from time to time gave the Rong clan a stick. When Luo Yi put on a posture of fighting to the death, Cheng Dalei closed the city and held on.
On the two fronts in the northwest and south of the Yangtze River, the most aggrieved are Luo Yi and his son.
Cheng Dalei's men are not without soldiers, the strength of the two sides is almost equal, and they are ready to fight a tough battle with the Rong people. But he didn't show any intention of fighting to the death, he just didn't stop using cold knives, playing tricks, and never fought head-on when there were conspiracy and tricks.
In the big tent, Luo Yi and Luo Cheng's father and son got together to discuss things.
"Cheng Dalei is so cunning, he wants to drag us to death here. Speaking of this, Luo Cheng was inexplicably angry: "I'm ashamed that he is still a figure who has been famous for many years, why doesn't he have any grace." ”
"If you have grace, you are not a bandit. Luo Yi said leisurely: "My son, you don't have to be anxious. Our purpose is to drag Cheng Dalei and prevent him from marching into Jiangnan, Cheng Dalei doesn't want to fight, and I'm happy not to do anything with him. Everyone will consume like this, and see who can consume whom. ”
"Father, that's not the case. Luo Cheng said anxiously: "Cheng Dalei conducts a sneak attack from time to time, causing great casualties to our army. Our army is constantly being attritional, and now the people are panicking. If you continue like this, without Cheng Dalei's action, I'm afraid it won't last long. This may not be Cheng Dalei's trick. ”
Luo Yi is old, and he doesn't have much of the sharpness of a young man, but now he has to get by, and he is a monk who hits the clock for a day. And Luo Cheng is still young and vigorous, and he is still willing to do something in his heart. He couldn't wait to start a war with Cheng Dalei, and he didn't have the intention of being reckless.
Hearing this, Luo Yi frowned and said, "If that's the case, I have to guard against it." ”
Luo Chengdao: "That's the truth, we should now find an opportunity to fight a decisive battle with Cheng Dalei and defeat him in a battle, once and for all." But we can't let Cheng Dalei cut the meat with a blunt knife and slowly consume us. ”
"The decisive battle ......" Luo Yi sighed: "It's not that I haven't thought about being a father. But you also know that Cheng Dalei, a thief, is very cunning, and we launched several attacks, but he avoided fighting but did not fight, and finally took advantage of our army's belligerent heart to lead us into a trap, causing great casualties to our army. ”
Luo Cheng thought so, he had really had enough of Cheng Dalei's suffering recently. Cheng Dalei may not be the most tricky enemy, but he must be the most disgusting enemy.
Constantly fighting against such an opponent can easily cause a psychological shadow for the rest of your life.
Luo Yi held his chin and said slowly: "If you really want to fight, it may not be that there is no way." ”
Luo Cheng's eyes lit up: "Father's clever plan, I know that Cheng Dalei is no longer talking." ”
"You and my father and son have taken refuge in the Rong clan, and Yeyuan Huo can be regarded as reusing us, but they still don't treat us as their own, and now let us be cold benches. Luo Yi said slowly: "It's time to prove our worth to Yeyuan Fire." ”
"What is my father's plan?" Luo Cheng.
"Hit the snake and hit the seven inches, and attack the enemy to attack the vital point. Luo Yi's gaze fell somewhere on the battle map, and three words were clearly written on it: Sanshui Pass.
