Chapter 176: The Eighteen Horses of Yanyun

After Luo Cheng saw his father Luo Yi, he immediately asked a big doubt in his heart, that is, how could the 50,000 Khitans defeat the 40,000 Great Sui soldiers? The Great Sui soldiers are not made of paper. Even if there is a sneak attack factor, they will not be so embarrassed.

Not only Luo Cheng was confused, but also Yang Shuang, Li Jing and others, and even others were confused.

Facing Luo Cheng's inquiry, Luo Yi sighed: "Hey, the soldiers of the Great Sui Dynasty are so miserable, because Miao Fei alone is here! This person is a sinner for the ages!"

"The Khitan attack was late at night in the second day of the lunar month, and during the day, Miao Fei summoned generals above the lieutenant and gathered in the governor's office to drink. After nightfall, all the generals returned to the camp drunk. Because I had limited alcohol tolerance, I only drank a few drinks. On the night of the incident, the Khitans bribed the traitors and set fire to the armory, and the soldiers' weapons were also of extremely poor quality..."

As Luo Yi slowly said, the situation on the day of the incident was revealed.

After hearing this, Luo Cheng asked quickly: "Father, Miao Fei was really killed in battle? He deliberately created a wine shop to let the generals drink, and spies set fire to the fire. The traitor opened the city gate. These proved that Miao Fei was a traitor!"

"Everyone said he died in battle. As for whether he died really or fake death, there is no way to find out, but judging from what he did, he did surrender to the Khitan." Luo Yi said.

"If you really surrender to the Khitan, how could you die in battle? You must have hidden it." Luo Cheng said angrily, wishing to kill Miao Fei with his hand, and then said: "Father, the court sent Zhenbei Hou to lead 120,000 troops to take back Songmo City and then attack the Khitan. It is not safe here, so my father and mother will follow me back to the military camp."

Luo Yi asked curiously: "Why did you come with the army of Zhenbeihou? It seems that you have made friends with big names after you arrived in Kyoto."

"I will know when my father goes." Luo Cheng smiled.

Without refusal, Luo Yi asked Luo Qinshi to pack up his things and then led the Eighteen Cavalry of Yanyun to leave Santu Mountain.

Just as we were about to meet with Yang Shuang, we encountered a Khitan team of 200 or 300 people halfway.

Zhang Xutuo immediately drew his sword to prepare for the battle, but Luo Yi smiled and said, "Old Zhang, don't be anxious, let's take a look at the Eighteen Cavalry of Yanyun that my father carefully trained!"

Zhang Xutuo nodded and looked at these eighteen people.

They were wearing cold clothes, with a scimitar on their waists, a mask on their faces, a black scarf on their heads, and only their eyes were exposed. They were wearing long black cloaks, horse boots, and daggers. Everyone carried big bows on their backs, each carrying eighteen arrows, and all were equipped with a full moon scimitar.

This made Zhang Xu full of curiosity, because he was a member of the twelve earthly branches, which were similar to Yanyun’s eighteen cavalry, and they were pursuing the elite among the elites. I wonder how strong the team that Luo Yi personally trained for many years would be?

"Cough cough..." Luo Yi coughed lightly.

The Eighteen Cavalry directly killed the group of Khitan soldiers. The other party was obviously full of people, but in terms of momentum, the Eighteen Cavalry actually crushed the other party.

When the two sides were close and there were more than 100 meters, the eighteen cavalry held the big bow at the same time and pulled the bow with arrows. All three-stone strong bows were pulled into a full moon, and then shot out at the same time.

Whoosh...

The arrow feathers flew directly into the group of Khitan soldiers like a cold light. The Khitans in the front were all shot into arrows and fell off their horses.

Immediately afterwards, the eighteen cavalry fired arrows again, and each of them shot eighteen arrow feathers at once. After a few rounds, dozens of Khitan soldiers were settled and suppressed the Khitan soldiers, causing them to be in chaos.

When the Khitan soldiers were preparing to counterattack and shoot arrows, the distance between the two had been closer. The eighteen cavalry suddenly divided into two, with nine people on both sides, like two giant pythons, surrounding them from left to right, and killing the Khitan soldiers.

The full moon scimitar in their hands was like moonlight. The sword light flashed and the heads fell to the ground. In contrast, the Khitan soldiers could not get close to the bodies of the eighteen cavalry and could only be slaughtered.

Zhang Xutuo admired this scene, his eyes widened slightly.

Perhaps the Eighteen Cavalry's alone combat power is not the best, but they are cruel and ruthless, never hold back, and have super strong cooperation ability and battlefield insight. With mutual cooperation, they can win more with less and win many.

"Old Zhang, what about Yan Yun's Eighteen Riders? This is my father's hard work!" Luo Cheng said with a smile.

Zhang Xutuo admired: "The Eighteen Cavalry of Yanyun is simply a nightmare for the enemy. The ghost on the battlefield. If there is such an army, it would be amazing."

"Haha... these eighteen people were carefully selected by me. It is not easy to cultivate such an army." Luo Yi smiled.

Zhang Xutuo nodded, and he and Luo Cheng looked at each other, and both saw ambitions in each other's eyes.

The Eighteen Cavalry of Yanyun are so powerful, what about their twelve Earthly Branches?

It must be even more powerful!

During the conversation, the fight was coming to an end.

There was no casualties in the 18th contest. On the other hand, the Khitan soldiers were killed and their souls were thrown away and their souls returned to heaven and earth.

Then, the group continued to rush and finally saw Zhenbeihou Daying.

The Zhenbei Hou army, who had been resting for a night, did not attack. After the group approached, they were immediately stopped by the inspected soldiers. The group reported their identities before entering the camp safely.

When Yang Shuang saw Luo Yi, she was a little surprised because Luo Yi should be tall in his mind. She didn't expect that she was so unpretentious. It seemed that Luo Yi looked like her mother.

Luo Yi did not expect that the big man he made with his son was the prince, so he hurriedly bowed and bowed.

"Luo Yi, a humble official, meets His Highness the Ming Dynasty!" Luo Yi hurriedly saluted.

At this time, Luo Yi was only a sixth-rank general. Because of his personality, he had not yet made a fortune. He was not the Prince of Yan in his previous life, so he could not be proud of his dignified prince.

Yang Shuang asked him to get up and said with a smile: "I have long admired General Luo's name, and I'm lucky to meet you."

Luo Yi's ability is unquestionable. He is proficient in military tactics and brave and warlike, but he has shortcomings, such as being cunning and stubborn, available but not reusable, and he may still have troops to be respected in the future.

However, Yang Shuang is just a deposed prince now, and she has considered a little too much. When she becomes the emperor in the future, she will consider things that cannot be reused by him.

After everyone sat down, Luo Cheng told Yang Shuang truthfully about the situation in Songmo City and what he got from Luo Yina. Yang Shuang couldn't help asking: "General Luo, the court has been very good at treating Miao Fei. He appointed him as the marching supervisor in Songmo area. Although he was under the Governor's Office, he was also a third-rank official with military and political power. Why did he betray the Great Sui Dynasty? Have you noticed it when you serve under his command? Of course, today's conversation is just a one-man statement, because Miao Fei died in battle for the country on the surface, and we have no evidence that he defected to foreign capital, so the words in the account today cannot be revealed."

Luo Yi nodded and said, "To be honest with Your Highness, I have carefully recalled Miao Fei's behavior during this period. He is also a loyal and kind descendant. He has no reason to surrender to foreign tribes. The only thing worthy of doubt is the death of his father."

"Oh? How did Miao Fei's father die?" Yang Shuang didn't know the trick inside.

Luo Yi explained: "It will take twenty years to calculate the time. Miao Fei's father Miao Renduan was a general under the command of the Marquis of Pingbo. In a battle with Wei, the Marquis of Pingbo used Miao Renduan as bait and led the Wei army to a trap and defeated the Wei army. But Miao Renduan unfortunately died in battle. Afterwards, Your Majesty rewarded the Marquis of Pingbo and also praised Miao Renduan. But in Miao Fei's heart, he always resented the Marquis of Pingbo. This is the only reason I can think of. Could it be because Miao Fei resented the Marquis of Pingbo and even resented the Sui Dynasty?"

Han Qinhu, who was standing aside, nodded and said, "Your Highness, I have heard of this matter. In the battle between the Marquis of Pingbo, the Marquis of Pingbo, severely damaged the 150,000 elite soldiers and horses of Wei with 80,000 troops. His Majesty was very happy and rewarded the Marquis of Pingbo, which was also the Marquis of Pingbo. Miao Renduan was also posthumously named Assistant Minister of War. Unexpectedly, Miao Fei was Miao Renduan's son."

Everything in the world has cause and effect. Miao Fei betrayed the Great Sui Dynasty for a reason. Perhaps his father's death has always made him hate him, and then he is being used by others, and he is now betrayed.

So the main question is, who is hidden behind Miao Fei?

"Who is General Luo and Miao Fei close to? Especially those with high power?" Yang Shuang collected limited information and could not find too many details.

Luo Yi shook his head and said, "Miao Fei does have the help of noble people, otherwise he would not be able to sit firmly at the marching supervisor of the Songmo Governor's Office, but I don't know who this noble person is. But I remembered one thing, which may be helpful."

"What's the matter?" Yang Shuang asked.

Luo Yi continued: "A year ago, Miao Fei deducted military pay. Du Ming, the marching chief of the Governor's Office of Gewuzhou, learned that the two had a gap, so Du Ming directly reported the army to the Ministry of War to impeach Miao Fei, but the matter was suppressed and Miao Fei was safe and sound. But Du Ming only returned the deducted military pay. In contrast, Du Ming lost his position as marching chief in less than three months. So we all said that there was a great nobleman standing behind Miao Fei!"

Yang Shuang frowned slightly.

Deducting military pay is not a trivial matter. Your Majesty repeatedly declares that the military pay of border soldiers must not be deducted. Once verified, they will be imprisoned and exiled. The Ministry of War is also strictly investigating this matter. The place where Du Ming, the general manager of the Governor's Office of Gewuzhou, arrived first must be the Ministry of War. The Minister of War at that time was Wang Jingjiang, but Wang Jingjiang was already dead. Could it be that the Wang family behind Wang Jingjiang, the Qin Wang Yang Jun and Wang Qianhe were Miao Fei's backing?

Soon, Yang Shuang shook her head secretly.

If Miao Feizhen had a relationship with the Wang family and the King of Qin Yang Jun, Zang Kang would not have noticed a little clue. The army reported it to the Ministry of War at that time, first to the Minister of War, and then submitted it to the Minister of War. Shi Wansui was the Minister of War at that time. With his upright character, if Wang Jingjiang really suppressed this matter, Shi Wansui would have said it.

Then, the military newspaper was probably not suppressed in the Ministry of War, but sent to the Secretariat.

The six ministries were under the management of the Shangshu Province. Could it be that the Shangshu Ling Yuexishan stopped Miao Fei for the sake of his?

"Yuexi Mountain, Yuexi Mountain..." An old guy who was serious and honest in Yang Shuang's mind was the Shangshu Ling Yuexi Mountain.

The three high-ranking officials were all important officials of the court, and Yuexishan was in the meeting hall, so he could directly participate in the decision-making of major national affairs.

Now the old ministers in the Council Hall have not publicly supported any prince. As for whether they have taken sides behind their backs, it is hard to say.
