Chapter 23 The harvest is huge
After hearing Luo Shixin's training on the border, the Liang army did not sleep well and guarded him strictly, for fear that the army would come to the city that day, which would cut off his fortune for many years.
Luo Shixin has been so famous recently. Liang Shizhong is now in trouble with internal and external affairs, so he does not have the courage to meet Luo Shixin. He can only ask for help from the Turks, then hide in the city and hold on to the death, constantly inquiring about the movements of the Tang army.
It was discovered that the Tang army was really training troops on the border and had no intention of attacking.
Liang Shidu was relieved, but he did not dare to be careless, for fear that Luo Shixin would suddenly attack. Guangsend the scouts to pay attention to the movements of the Tang army and asked Liang Luoren to personally protect the city defense.
Because of Luo Shixin's trick, Liang Shi even gave up the pursuit of Yan Pei and Xi Junmai.
Liang Luoren had to walk around the city tower every day. He was not very loyal to Master Liang, but the Liang family had been passed down for thousands of years, and he didn't want the Liang family to cut off his hand like this.
Recently, he has been thinking about Luo Shixin's intentions. He has inexplicably trained troops and cannot be without intentions.
It was just that there was such a big disturbance but there was no response. I really couldn't figure out why they were aiming.
"You can only passively defend and respond to changes with the same stability." Liang Luoren thought for a long time, but could only draw such a conclusion.
"Hey, what is that?" At this moment, the soldiers in charge of the city defense suddenly exclaimed.
Liang Luoren looked in a voice and a knight ran over from the opposite side from a pegasus, holding up a flag in his hand, as if coming to deliver the message.
"Let him come!" He said in a deep voice. His heart was as clear as a mirror, and Tang Jun's intention was about to be revealed.
Come and ride gradually get closer.
Mo Hu'er came downstairs, raised his horse whip and said with a high finger: "I am the commander-in-chief of the general of the army, the commander-in-chief of the army, the commander-in-chief of the general of the army, Qingzhou. Is there anyone on the city tower who can be in charge? Come out and talk to me..."
Liang Luoren gave the general beside him a wink. The general called Ma Wei, responsible for the defense of the city wall. At this moment, he was instructed and poked his head out and said loudly: "I am the general in charge of the city defense. What's the matter?"
"Ha!" Mo Hu'er shook his horse whip and said loudly: "A guardian is the chief of the Russians. Go cool and find someone who can speak." He looked at Shuo Fangbing who was waiting for the battle, and a contemptuous smile appeared on his lips: Since following Luo Shixin to conquer the world, he admired his superior general of the army, and he became more arrogant than the top. Shuo Fang didn't see it in his eyes.
Ma Wei's face was so angry that his face was pale, and he wanted to shoot a bow and arrow.
Liang Luoren blocked him and stepped forward and said, "I am Liang Luoren, the general of Daliang. If you have anything to do, you can tell me."
Mo Hu'er said, "A worthy person has finally come. My general asked me to tell your emperor that he had just returned from hunting in the Turks. When he was going, he forgot to say hello. Just remember, say to you and borrow from you. That's it. Report quickly..." As he said that, he didn't wait for Liang Luoren to reply, and left with the reins.
Liang Luoren's face was also unhappy.
Borrow the way!
Where can I borrow this?
The author who didn't even let them reply was clearly a message and forced to pass.
However, Liang Luoren had no time to take care of so much. From Mo Hu'er's words, he heard something crucial.
Turks! Hunting!
He would not think that Luo Shixin was really going to the Turks to "hunter". It is not difficult to guess the meaning of "hunting". He regards the Turks as prey... Luo Shixin was arrogant and arrogant, but from the situation, they should have gained a lot, otherwise they would not have been so arrogant.
Without any hesitation, Liang Luoren sent someone to Shuofang to inquire about Luo Shixin, but returned to Shuofang Palace and told Liang Shidu the situation.
Mr. Liang was shocked for a while and said tremblingly: "You mean, the training of troops is full of pretexts. Luo Shixin's purpose is to plunder the Turks?"
"I can't be wrong!" Liang Luoren didn't know how to describe his mood at this moment. He had only heard of the grassland people going south to plunder the people of the Central Plains, and had never heard of the grassland people robbing the grassland people in the Central Plains. The world seemed to be reversed and said with a wry smile: "They deliberately placed their troops on the border and asked us to gather troops to defend the enemy. But they took the opportunity to go lightly, without knowing it. Now they are back full of loads, probably because they are too much plundering and cannot raise their speed. They can't hide it from us, so they simply sent someone to speak out. I have asked someone to inquire about their situation, should they block their way and take them down in one fell swoop?" At this point, a trace of harshness flashed in his eyes.
Luo Shixin's surprise attack must not have many soldiers and horses, and they have a great chance of winning.
Liang Shixin was shocked and hurriedly said, "No, Luo Shixin is so arrogant, he must have a backup plan. We send troops at this moment, and it is difficult to prevent him from falling into his tricks. We only need to keep Shuo convenient, and there is no need to take risks to attack. He wants to pass by and let them pass by. We regard Shuofang's safety as the top priority." Without any hesitation, Liang Shiqian rejected Liang Luoren's proposal.
Because of this, Luo Shixin encountered no resistance and went through Shuofang openly, and returned to Yanzhou with all the spoils, and came to Lu Ziguan's feet.
Stepping into his own territory, Su Dingfang shook his head and smiled, "Mr. Liang is even less courageous than a mouse, but he actually scared the general like this."
Luo Shixin grinned: "Liang Shidu is a man with ambition but no ambition. He is content as long as he guards Shuofang's three-point land. As long as he does not threaten Shuofang, he will not take risks rashly. I was on the border soldiers and threatened Shuofang, and deliberately informed him to know that we did not pay attention to Shuofang. He did not have the courage to risk Shuofang's attack on the border troops to fight this battle with us."
Regarding the mentality and thoughts of Liang Shidu, Li Shimin's Fang Mou Duan and a number of civil officials have long analyzed it thoroughly.
As the governor of Qingzhou, Luo Shixin had already obtained information on this aspect. In his opinion, the only thing that could be considered in Shuofang was Liang Luoren. Liang Luoren was a middle-class talent and had good abilities. If he was the lord of Shuofang, Luo Shixin would not dare to perform this strategy openly.
"Enter the pass, count the spoils!" Luo Shixin waved his hand, and a large number of cattle, sheep and horses drove them into the pass by the herders and soldiers.
Good count!
In this battle, Luo Shixin led 1,000 elite soldiers and generals out of seclusion, but when they came back, they did not decrease but increased. In addition, Yan Pei and his group of strong soldiers and the Han people rescued, the number was close to 1,450. After careful calculation, Luo Shixin's personal guards lost 36 people, Su Dingfang, Mo Hu'er and Xue Yong's guards lost 1,08 people, and a total of 1,42 people were killed. The damage they caused to the Turks was naturally far more than this amount. However, they mainly plundered materials and did not count the population, so there was no detailed data. It was estimated that it would be no less than 4,500 to 5,000. What was crucial was their harvest. In this trip, they plundered a total of 28,563 sheep, 3,807 cows, and 13,021 grassland war horses, and the harvest was abundant.
Looking at the calculated amount, Luo Shixin was lost for a long time.
After learning about this huge gain, others exclaimed in surprise.
"My God! No wonder the Turks come to Central Plains every year for a walk. How long has it been? This is really a good deal that can never be lost." Mo Huer's young mind almost jumped up happily, with a strange brilliance in his eyes.
Even the steady Xue Yong couldn't help but say in response to this: "From the future, we will go to the Turks to walk around from time to time, but we are still worried about not being able to eat or drink? We have to make a deal with Turks? We just want to go to the Turks to rob. We want the Turks to know that we are just upholding benevolence and unwilling to rob. If we really do it, we will not lose to them."
"Don't say it's so ugly! We're called hunting..." Mo Hu'er said seriously.
Xue Yong quickly changed his words: "Yes, yes, yes, hunting, and the Turks are our prey."
Amid the sound of play, Yan Pei and Wang Yun looked at each other, and their eyes were full of shock. They knew that Luo Shixin had gained a lot this time, but they did not expect it to be this huge amount. Suddenly, they all felt that they had lived to dogs in the past ten years. You must know that they had been rampant on the grassland for ten years, and the things they plundered were not as good as those of Luo Shixin's plunder this time. Nearly 30,000 sheep, 4,000 cows, and 13,000 precious war horses. The results were really amazing.
They suddenly felt that the most correct decision they had made for Luo Shixin, and following him would definitely have meat to eat.
"Don't be too happy too early!" Su Dingfang said at this time: "This harvest is hard to come by. Next time we can be satisfied with one or two percent of what we have today."
Luo Shixin looked at Su Dingfang with approval. All his subordinates, who really have great abilities and abilities, belonged to this famous general in the future, nodded and said, "The key to this huge harvest is sudden. As a grassland nation that lives by nomadic life, they live on the grassland where the strong prey on the weak, and their mobility has always been their strength. Since ancient times, they have been plundering us. As a nation that relies on farming to survive, we rarely threaten them in this regard. The same is true, they did not prevent us from plundering them. They only used wooden fences to trap cattle, sheep and horses without any extra defense, which allowed us to obtain such a large amount of spoils at once. Next time they will be wary. It is unlikely that it will be so easy. However, they are guarding the first day of the first day, and the fifteenth day of the year."
Xue Yong, Xue Yong suddenly realized it when he heard this, nodded one after another and said yes.
"But I have a drink today and I am drunk and I have received so many spoils. I should be happy... If it is passed down, all the soldiers participating in this exhibition will receive five sheep, one cow, and one horse as rewards. The money and military pay are calculated separately. I have specially prepared triumphant armor for you and received it and distributed it together." Luo Shixin's eyes showed a smile, as if he had seen the future situation. (To be continued)
