Chapter 457
The sky is getting brighter and the tragic night has finally passed. The scorching sun in June has risen. Although it is still just a rising sun, it can already make people feel the heat unstoppable.
However, at this time, the army was closed, and what made people feel more hot than the scorching sun was the 100,000 troops under the lockdown. [..com]
Luo Wu had been back from the gate for a long time, and there was only less than a quarter of an hour left for the Liaodong Army. Everyone in the city understood that when half an hour arrived, the Liaodong Army would never be able to remember the friendship of the imperial court. At that time, the war would not be necessary. Just the crossbows that were already lined up below, the catapults would have made all the defenders in the city dry.
Among the city towers on Guancheng, there were already distances separated by Luo Wei and dozens of guards. Without the orders of Major General Luo Cheng, no one could approach, and no one could overhear the discussions between the two generals.
Luo Wu looked worried and frowned, "Major General, the general was observing for a long time. Under the city, Chen Pojun from Liaodong personally led the army. There were indeed thousands of Turkic prisoners in the army. Among them, Shibi Khan and others had also seen each other one by one, and they had briefly interrogated a few words, but they were all right."
"Uncle Wu means that Chen Pojun is really just a borrower?" "I'm afraid it may not be!" Luo Wu shook his head. Although the words of Chen Pojun that General Xue Dingguo had conveyed by Chen Pojun before were indeed flawed, in fact, there is one thing that cannot be ignored.
Luo Cheng's calm Taoist "Wu"
"We were attacked by the Liaodong Army first." Luo Wu said firmly, "Yesterday we were outside the north entrance, but there were 300 troops, and the armor on them were all marked.
It is impossible for those scouts of the Liaodong Army to know our identities at all, but they took the initiative to attack us as soon as they saw us. We fled back to the pass, and then Wang Rengong led 20,000 troops to kill him. He had a disagreement and attacked me in the north. Major General, all this is true, and it goes without saying a word." Luo Cheng pursed his chun, and his heart was extremely chaotic. Of course, he remembered that after the north entrance, Chen Kefu arrived with tens of thousands of troops. If it was as Chen Pojun said at the pass, he just wanted to pass by the pass, then he could directly tell his identity and take out the emperor's edict, how could they not let them go?
"Major General, according to my guess, it may be true, or true for Chen Pojun to go to Hedong." "They had previously raided the North Entrance, and they must have wanted to raid the North Entrance, and even directly snatch the Jundu Pass, and then enter Hebei. In doing so, they must have been worried that they would reveal their identities outside the pass and take out the edict, and we would not let him pass the pass. That was why they attacked first and could not capture it, so they said they wanted to borrow the pass. Even if they borrowed the pass, it was just a fake way to destroy Guo. Then Chen Pojun had already rebelled against the court, possessing the land of Liaodong, and holding hundreds of thousands of troops. How could such a person accept the court's pleading? His Majesty's previous recruitment was just because he saw that Linyu Pass was in a tight position. He planned to take a slow-down plan and temporarily put out many conditions to temporarily stop the attack on Hebei."
"And what a cunning person Chen Kefu was? How could such a simple delaying plan be seen? Once the court cleared the siege of Yanmen and quelled the Turks, it would definitely quell the rebellion in Liaodong immediately.
Therefore, Chen Pojun was just using his tricks. There were large troops stationed in Linyu Pass and it was difficult to take down, so he appeared here quietly. The purpose was to take advantage of this time that the army's troops were weak and planned to enter Hebei from here, or even attack Linyu Pass behind his back."
Luo Wu expressed the guesses in his heart one by one, and Luo Cheng felt deeply about Luo Wu's judgments. But so what if he knew this, as Chen Pojun said, half an hour later, regardless of whether they agreed or not, the Liaodong Army would enter the nose. With these three thousand people, they were completely unstoppable.
"Uncle Wu, what should we do now? Chen Pojun is cunning and can't fool him. If he can't delay for a day or two, we can't defend Jundu Pass at all." After pondering for a while, Luo Wu suddenly said, "Let's do what Chen Pojun said and open the city to let them pass." Luo Cheng was extremely surprised, and his face turned a few angry words, "Uncle Wu, you are not confused, right? Once Chen Pojun enters the pass, he will be able to beat Hebei with one horse. One horse will be 11. Tens of thousands of Liaodong rebels entered Hebei. Not only will the army stationed by my Luo family be in a safe way, but the Linyu Pass that my father and all the generals will not defend. The dozens of county generals in Hebei are all under the hands of bandits. Wouldn't we become a criminal minister in the court? Even if I die in the battle, I will not surrender the rebels." "Major General, this is a bad statement. At the moment, it will be useless to defend Jundu Pass.
It is better to surrender the thief for the time being and then make plans. It is best to immediately notify the head of the Linyu Pass and other generals of the situation so that they can prepare for early defense. In addition, inform the Hebei counties to concentrate their troops as much as possible and gather in Zhuojun City. In this way, even if the rebels enter Hebei, they will not be able to seize Hebei for a while. When the head of the family and the generals return, they will definitely be able to suppress the rebels in one fell swoop."
Although Luo Cheng thought Duowu's words made sense, his face still turned red. "But that Chen Pojun thief not only asked us to open and close the door, but also asked us to go out of the city to reward the rebels, and also kowtow to him to admit his mistakes and toast and apologize. How can such an insult be accepted?"
"A real man can be promoted. In the past, Han Xin first suffered humiliation, and then he would be the king. A small setback is nothing. Compared with the situation in Hebei, you should be able to bear this little insult. Following Uncle Wu's advice, you must think twice before doing anything. You must not let your son come. Remember, the head of the family is still in Linyu and the mistress is still in Zhuo County? How can you get any benefit by forcing Chen Pojun at this time? Tolerance is the best way."
Luo Cheng stood there for a while, and was unable to agree.
Seeing that half an hour was coming, Luo Wei, who had been paying attention to the situation under the city, saw that the rows of catapults under the city were already loading stones, so he was so shocked that he hurried over and shouted, "Major General, the catapults under the city were already loading stones, they were about to attack!"
Facing the eyes that were staring at him, feeling the waiting and expectation, Luo Cheng sighed and stomped his feet hard. In his anger, his voice became a little sharp and said, "Okay, I promise Uncle Wu that I will be. Pass this general's order to open the city gate!"
Luo Wu glanced at Luo Cheng with some relief, thinking that General Guang, who had always been reincarnated, finally agreed. In addition, he hurriedly pulled Luo Wei over and asked him to send dozens of the most reliable guards to Linyu and Hebei counties to send a message, tell them the results of the previous discussion with Luo Cheng, and let them prepare early.
As soon as half an hour arrived, the Liaodong army at the gate was ready to attack. All the catapults were loaded, all the crossbows were also chuáng, and the rows of archers were also lined up in front, and bows were raised one by one.
As long as Chen Kefu waved his hand and gave an order, the mere three thousand defenders on the top of the slope would be in a catastrophe.
Everyone looked at Guancheng quietly, and the five uncles and nephews of the Xue family were also very nervous.
The Luo family boys have always liked him very much, and they didn't want to die here when they saw him so young today.
Chen Pojun's hand slowly cast a pair of eyes, and the messengers lined up behind him waved the flags in their hands and raised the flags of preparation. The silent messenger in front of the formation sounded "Preparation!"
"Prepare"
"Prepare"
"Prepare"
Amid these countless preparations, a huge sound came from the highly anticipated military gate, and the huge iron-packed city gate finally opened slowly. At this time, the suspended suspension bridge finally slowly descended in the noose.
"Bang!"
The wide suspension bridge hit the ground, connecting the inner and outer gates of the gates separated by the deep guard pool. At this time, the huge iron door finally opened completely in a squeaking sound.
Chen Kefu's hand that was originally raising it also smiled and took it back.
Just as he was concerned, a team of people came out of the city, one of whom was the first to be a white horse, white armored white horse, and white cloak. The general took the lead and quickly came to the front of the formation with a hundred cavalry behind him.
Under the instructions of Chen Lei and the Marshal Guard, the team of men and horses in the city handed over the weapons in their hands to the guards and turned over and dismounted.
As the white young general gradually approached, Xue Dingguo beside him smiled and said, "Master, this is the youngest son of the Luo family, Luo Cheng, the jade-faced man. How about you, you are handsome, right?"
Since Chen Kefu knew that the guard of this army was Luo Cheng, the son of Luo Yi, he was very yearning for Luo Cheng, who had once loved very much in unofficial history. Although he didn't understand why Luo Cheng, who was famous in unofficial history but had no such person, appeared in this world openly, Chen Kefu was still very much looking forward to meeting him for the first time.
Looking at Luo Cheng who was approaching, Chen Kefu suddenly felt as if he was looking at himself when he was young.
After comparing it briefly in my heart, I felt that compared to the young self in my heart, the graceful and beautiful boy in front of me was as handsome as usual. However, when I looked closely, Luo Cheng seemed to be more handsome, and even said it too much, Luo Cheng seemed to be more like a woman.
