Chapter 1 Questioning
When I arrived at the military camp, the sky gradually faded away from the night. A dazzling red glow was floating in the air, as if it was burned by the fire last night. Haha, maybe this is the real "fire cloud", I muttered in my heart.
The busy soldiers on both sides of the military camp saw me coming, straightened their backs and saluted me respectfully. The respect on their faces could be felt even if they were blind. Although the protagonist of last night was Kou Zhongda showing his power, it was precisely because of my actions that the Luoyang defenders easily removed the biggest threats of "Silver Armored Cavalry". Their existence undoubtedly posed a huge threat to the Luoyang defenders both in their hearts and in terms of safety. I smiled at them kindly and friendly, nodded, and said hello. Even so, in the minds of these soldiers who were used to seeing the cold faces of Luoyang's powerful men, I was already so "appropriate" that I continued to work in my hands excitedly.
Go. Actually, this is not the main reason. For these soldiers who lick blood on the edge of the knife in troubled times, the only criterion that allows them to regard the commander as gods, and the only criterion that makes them willingly serve the leader is strength. Blood gave them the clearest revelation that only a strong monarch can make them live longer and walk longer. This undoubtedly gives them a second chance to be born, and everyone will pay attention to this opportunity. It is precisely for this reason that a powerful lion gathered under Li Shimin, because he has the strength to "win every battle": it is precisely for this reason that Du Fuwei's Jianghuai Army has a sudden rise, because he is carrying the "Six Paths of the Universe" skill, and he has the top skills that make the two paths of black and white terrified.
Thinking of this, I couldn't help but feel a little touched. Although I felt a little sympathized with the helplessness of these soldiers, in the troubled times, some people always wanted to become boats, some people wanted to become oars, and some people could only become water.
As soon as he arrived at the gate of the military camp, Yang Gongqing came at the same time. The charming and charming Linglongjiao followed him. When Yang Gongqing saw me, he hurriedly greeted me, and then walked to me. Seeing his powerful posture, I smiled and said, "Looking at Yang Gong's energy today, you will know that there must be some happy event to come to Yang Gong."
Yang Gongqing laughed and walked side by side with me, and said with a hearty smile: "Defeated Li Mi last night and relieved the siege of Luoyang. When I had been angry for many years, it was of course a great joy. What made me happiest is that today I would beat the dog in the water and hit Li Mi's nest. Things that made me excited the most when I was relieved."
Linglongjiao beside him giggled and interrupted, "You will feel uncomfortable if you don't charge for the whole day, and your bones are about to fall apart. Now that you have defeated Li Mi, you can chase him and beat him. For your godfather, this is much more effective than any magic pill, and you will suddenly become more young."
Linglongjiao's words made Yang Gongqing laugh again, and then looked at Linglongjiao lovingly and said, "It's still my baby daughter who understands the godfather's mind."
I looked at Linglongjiao who was following Yang Gongqing, wearing tight red leather armor, with some fine iron armor pieces carved with patterns on it, which made her look even more red under the reflection of the sky with fire and clouds, making her delicate figure look even more tempting. At this moment, she was even more charming and she was even more charming. She looked at her and she lit up and asked her with a smile: "What? Miss Linglong is planning to go on the battle in person today?"
Linglong gave me a blank look, straightened her chest, patted the exquisite dagger on her waist, and said unscrupulously: "What? Young Master, don't forget that the young woman is a veritable general in Luoyang, so of course I have to go into battle. I will never miss this opportunity no matter what, otherwise it will definitely be a regret in the future."
"Haha..." Hearing the conversation between me and Linglongjiao, Kou Zhong led several generals out of the camp, and gave Linglongjiao a thumbs up and smiled: "General Linglong is indeed a man. The general is originally the first to inquire in the front army, so of course there is a general today."
I looked at Kou Zhong and smiled knowingly, knowing that Kou Zhong had deliberately made an excuse and let Linglongjiao follow us just rightly, which would save Yang Gongqing from worrying.
Accompanied by Kou Zhong and others, we walked into the tent together. After sitting down, I asked Kou Zhong: "How is the battlefield clearing?"
Kou Zhong said: "Because there were too many people who died yesterday, and our soldiers were exhausted after a night of fighting, so I only ordered the soldiers of the city defense camp in the north gate to be responsible for the Qingling battlefield, because only they did not participate in the battle last night. I asked them to rest for the others. So the battlefield was cleaned up very slowly, but a path had been cleared." He paused and said in a cold voice: "Just as I guess, although Lang Feng did not obstruct the situation last night, he secretly tampered with his confidant generals and ordered all his trusted generals to give Wang Shichong the
As a reason to visit the disease, we ran to the palace early. We could not control the military talismans in their hands. We could not mobilize their troops at all. Including the 10,000 troops from the Yan Division brought by Yang Gong, the troops we could mobilize were only about 20,000. If we wanted to rely on these forces to attack the Hulao Pass, the leader of the 60,000 army, would be very difficult." Part of the generals sitting in the tent were the old subordinates of Yang Gongqing, and some were the confidants who had been accused of Kou Zhongxin. They were all poor generals who had been attacked by the powerful and powerful people such as Lang Feng, and they were all people who were trusted by Kou Zhong, so Kou Zhong scolded Lang Feng without any scruples.
Yang Gongqing smiled and said, "These are already as expected by us. As long as Li Mi retreats, Lang Feng will definitely disobey us and want to undermine our military power. As for the general of Hulao, there is no need to worry too much. When he designed Hulao Pass, he used it as a barrier for Luoyang, so he was not as good as the inside. Although Li Mi made some changes to Hulao in the past two years, the effect was not very obvious. Moreover, they were newly defeated troops, and the elite troops in Wagang were all gone, and the rest were some remaining soldiers and storm figures. "
How could Kou Zhong not understand these principles? He just pretended to behave just now, in order to arouse everyone's dissatisfaction with Lang Feng and to use the mouth of the veteran Yang Gongqing to increase the morale of everyone. After all, there is still a big gap with the Wagang Army in Hulao in terms of number, and this time it is a siege, everyone will be worried. However, it is inevitable that these things will be said from the mouth of the head coach Kou Zhong, which makes people think that there is a sense of "comfortification", but it tastes very different from the prestigious veteran Yang Gongqing.
Kou Zhong slapped the table without any chance and shouted: "Young Gong Yang is right! How can Li Mi's defeated general resist the iron hoof of my 200,000 elite soldiers? His 300,000 army can't help me, let alone these 600,000 remaining soldiers!"
Seeing that the emotions of the generals present had been mobilized, I smiled and gave Kou Zhong a thumbs up and took the opportunity to add: "Xiao Zhong was wrong. We don't have only 20,000 troops. Did Xiao Zhong forget the 5,000 cavalry led by General Zhang Yu and the 3,000 troops led by Xiao Ling that burned Li Mi's food and grass? In this way, we have 30,000 troops in our hands, and our internal support has long been lurking in the Wagang army. It should be easy to capture the Huzhu."
After hearing my words, Kou Zhong quickly realized his mind, slapped his forehead and said, "Look at my memory. If I didn't say it, I would have forgotten that we still have these two surprise soldiers. Hehe, no wonder my brother suddenly said yesterday that he had changed his plan and asked me to send a letter to General Zhang Yu to station on the spot and not participate in the battle last night. It seems that my brother had already made plans."
I smiled confidently and said, "The devil is one foot taller, and the Tao is one foot taller. Lang Feng has his Zhang Liang plan, so naturally I have my ladder crossing."
Seeing that I was completely calculating, the generals looked like they were planning to win a thousand miles away, and they immediately increased their confidence and asked them to lead the troops as the vanguard and pursue Li Mi first. Of course, Kou Zhong was happy to do so and took the opportunity to distribute the troops in his hands. The generals immediately took the military talisman and mobilized the troops. Only Kou Zhong and I were left in the camp.
After pondering for a while, Kou Zhong asked me, "Brother, I always feel something is wrong. Since Lang Feng is a member of the Ming Dynasty, if you want to seize Luoyang, you should be eager for us to leave Luoyang, so that it will be more convenient for them to act. Last night, Lang Feng insisted on obstructing us from chasing Li Mi?"
I smiled and said, "This is what Lang Feng is so smart. He is nothing more than to see us and the generals under his command. It makes everyone mean that he is absolutely loyal to Wang Shichong. The reason why his subordinates defected to him was mostly because he was Wang Shichong's confidant and was willing to obey his words. Lang Feng was so worldly and he knew better than us. After all, his identity as the guardian of the Daming sect was absolutely unavailable. But he was afraid that we would take away too many troops in Luoyang, so he secretly tampered with us to reduce our military strength. In his opinion, the ideal result was that we would not be able to attack Hulao, but instead be defeated by Li Mi. In this way, even if we could not take our lives, we could take advantage of the situation to seize the military power we hold, and then drive us out of Luoyang City and become the lord of Luoyang."
Kou Zhong said in confusion: "Become the Lord of Luoyang? Even if we lose the military power, how could it be his turn to be the master of the family as long as Wang Shichong is still there?" Kou Zhong suddenly said: "Is it..."
I nodded and said, "Yes, only by killing Wang Shichong can it be his turn, Wang Shichong's confidant, stand up and speak. Oh, by the way, if Lang Feng was cruel enough, he would definitely kill Wang Shichong's two sons at the same time. Of course, he would not do this personally. There must be another master of the Ming Zun Sect who pretended to be Li Mi, and then killed the seriously injured Wang Shichong and his two sons. After all, Wang Shichong's injury was given by Li Mi. Since he could sneak into Luoyang once, he would naturally sneak into the second time. Moreover, his defeat this time was even more reasonable to kill Wang Shichong to vent his hatred."
Kou Zhong nodded and sighed, "Lang Feng is indeed cruel enough. No one would have thought that he, who has always been regarded as a loyal minister by Wang Shichong, was the real murderer of Wang Shichong's family. In addition, the generals he secretly controlled naturally stepped forward and took over the entire Luoyang. But what surprised me was that the forces of the Daming Zun Sect have always been outside the pass and never stretched their feet into the pass. Moreover, if Lang Feng is really a guardian of the Daming Zun Sect, his chess piece has been lurking in the Central Plains for at least ten years, and it was at the peak of the Great Sui Dynasty. Has the Daming Zun Sect begun to conspire on all this since then? If that is true, this Ming Zun's mind is really terrifying."
After carefully thinking about Kou Zhong's words, this has always been a question in my mind. Although Mingzun of the Daming Zun Sect is a character, he is definitely not as powerful as he can spend more than ten years to arrange a piece with uncertain future. He was puzzled and shook his head and said, "I also think that things are not that simple. I have ordered Hawkeye to check the details of Lang Feng and collect his information. From then on, he has recorded it in fact since he was born to Wang Shichong's aides. Even his identity as a guardian of the Daming Zun Sect was found by chance. If the appearance of the Heshi Bi had revealed the flaws of the Daming Zun Sect lurking in Luoyang, we would probably not have thought that Lang Fenghui, who has always followed Wang Shichong's horse, was a member of the Daming Zun Sect. It can be seen how meticulous Lang Feng is. Perhaps there may be other forces behind him."
Kou Zhong stood up and said sullenly: "Forget it, since you can't figure it out, don't think about it anymore. The soldiers and generals come to block the water and soil. The most important thing now is to completely defeat Li Mi, seize Hulao and Xingyang, and then turn the spear head to point at Lang Feng."
At this moment, a soldier outside came in to report that all the troops had gathered, so Kou Zhong and I walked out of the camp, stepped on our respective mounts, and led 20,000 iron cavalry to the south gate.
