Although Li Shouxi is not a top general in the Tang Dynasty, his ability to defeat the enemy without fighting is even more terrifying than that of a top general.
"Your Highness attaches so much importance to Huang Chao?"
"Ok!"
In the darkness, the man gradually left, while Luo Yi stared at the battle report in his hand with an unusually solemn expression.
The strength of Huang Chao's rebel army was getting stronger and stronger. Just this point alone was not something he could underestimate. Although the armored soldiers were able to fight ten enemies at once compared to the ordinary rebel army,
A branch of the Huai River - Sishui!
The two armies faced each other, and the millions of insurgents formed a black mass, overwhelming everything just in terms of momentum.
Luo Yi smiled lightly, his previous solemnity long forgotten.
Although there are millions of troops, they are basically farmers holding farm tools. The real elite troops are less than 100,000, and they don’t even have armor to protect them.
In this way, although the other side has a large number of people, they are just a complete mob.
What's more, Luo Yi also has weapons such as rockets, divine fire crows, and swarms of bees from Liaodong.
"kill!"
"Kill these beasts who are accomplices to the tiger!"
"Today, either they die or we die. The noble families and the imperial court will not let us go."
The misleading shouts aroused the hatred of the rebels towards the imperial court and the aristocratic families.
After all, who would want to rebel as long as they have a hot meal?
There is nothing worse than officials forcing the people to rebel!
But at this time Luo Yi sneered and did not take this group of rabble seriously at all.
boom! boom! boom
There were loud noises, but it was a swarm of arrows fired at the same time, countless arrows rained down and fell into the crowd of rebels.
Combined with the gunpowder carried by the Divine Fire Crow, once it lands it can clear out the crowd within a radius of several feet.
In a short period of time, the rebels suffered heavy losses and even their morale was broken.
This kind of ruthless massacre did not even leave a trace of resistance. How could a group of inexperienced rebels not be afraid?
It was as if the gods were angry and the world was destroyed!
Huang Chao in the crowd looked at this scene and couldn't help but smile.
This is the effect he wants.
A million rebels are a lot?
Even the regular soldiers of the empire are less than one million.
But for the homeless victims, surrender or resistance would lead to death either way. Once the news of the massacre by government troops spread, it would inevitably arouse real public indignation, which was Huang Chao's purpose.
By then, tens of millions of disaster victims will stand up.
Chapter 237: The Myth Shattered Luo Cheng Asks for a Fight
One hundred thousand soldiers were completely wiped out.
Even Luo Yi, one of the Nine Elders of the Tang Dynasty, died on his horse and was buried in the mountains.
As soon as the battle report came out, the entire Tang Dynasty, and even the Great Kyushu, was in turmoil.
Using millions of disaster victims as bait, Luo Yi slaughtered 300,000 of them without hesitation, which caused public outrage. Therefore, in the second battle, the rebel army came from all directions, numbering more than millions, and annihilated all 100,000 soldiers in Youzhou.
This battle not only shocked the imperial court, but also the Liaodong area.
Only Li Shouxi did not change at all.
The 100,000 soldiers in Youzhou were the result of the loss of the power of Prince Yan's Palace, and the Prince Yan's Palace also suffered the greatest loss.
But at this time Li Shouxi sighed,
Since he sent Luo Yi to suppress the Huang Chao Uprising, he never thought that the suppression would be successful.
But I didn't expect Luo Yi's methods to be so fierce and he would be defeated so quickly.
Facing a million insurgents armed with hoes, Luo Yi mercilessly slaughtered more than 300,000 of them. It can be said that their deaths were well deserved.
Use the same methods used against the grassland tribes to deal with these victims.
Luo Yi was wrong from the beginning.
As for the 06 soldiers in You Province?
Even though they were the main elite troops, in Li Shouxi's eyes, they were not his direct descendants, so he did not feel any pain at all in losing them.
Just like the Central Army and the Sichuan Army back then, one is a biological son and the other is a foreign godson, there is no comparison at all.
Even though Li Shouxi interjected and bribed a large number of generals, their relationship with Luo Yi was closer.
If it were not allowed, Li Shouxi would have wanted to send Li Keyong over as well.
"Your Highness, General Luo Cheng wants to see you!"
"Let him in."
As a figure like a gust of wind stepped into the hall, Li Shouxi also saw the handsome Luo Cheng of that year.
But at this moment, Luo Cheng's eye circles were sunken and his eyes were bloodshot. His face, which was originally whiter than a woman's, was full of sadness and sorrow, adding a touch of sorrow.
"Luo Cheng greets His Majesty!"
"General Xiao Luo wants to go out to avenge her husband?"
The murderous intent lingered on Luo Cheng for a long time, and Li Shouxi naturally understood what Luo Cheng was thinking at the moment.
"Please allow me, Your Majesty!"
It is only natural to avenge one’s father!
But Li Shouxi couldn't let Luo Cheng out of the mountain at this time, so he said solemnly:
"Do you know why Luo Yi failed?"
When Luo Cheng heard that Li Shouxi did not agree immediately, but asked him the reason, Luo Cheng immediately said:
"The enemy is too cunning and too numerous"
Before Luo Cheng finished speaking, Li Shouxi raised his hand to interrupt him. He looked at Luo Cheng, shook his head and chuckled:
"When your father was killed, I repeatedly reminded him in letters not to kill people without restraint but to proceed step by step and with caution.
But unfortunately, when they went to the battlefield, they completely ignored my instructions and caused the death of 100,000 soldiers in a foreign land.
If it weren't for the fact that he has been stationed in Youzhou for many years, my anger would have already affected you all."
Hearing this, Luo Cheng bowed his head in shame, looking embarrassed.
Because he had also read the letter that day, Li Shouxi had indeed carefully instructed Luo Yi,
Don’t seek merit, but seek no faults.
Unexpectedly, Luo Yi made a mistake and his three armies were destroyed.
"Luo Cheng, do you think Luo Yi just made a mistake?"
"The general will not dare!"
Although Luo Cheng thought that his father had made a mistake, he did not dare to express his opinion in front of Li Shouxi.
The heavy and majestic pressure was like a mountain pressing down on his heart, making him dare not even think of refutation.
"Humph, the failure of this battle is all due to your father Luo Yi."
Hearing that Li Shouxi had put all the responsibility on Luo Yi, Luo Cheng wanted to defend himself, but he didn't know where to start.
For a moment, he bowed his head and pleaded for his father.
Li Shouxi naturally knew that Luo Cheng was unwilling, so he explained to him slowly in a very low voice:
"Why do you think I asked him to proceed cautiously and carefully? And why I asked him not to commit more murders?
Because these rebels are not enemies at all!"
"Not an enemy?"
Luo Cheng suddenly looked up and stared at Li Shouxi in disbelief.
But Li Shouxi took a stack of information slowly and placed it in front of Luo Cheng, saying solemnly:
"The officials are forcing the people to revolt. They have no way out. Your father won't give them a way out. Everyone will fight to the death."
Upon hearing this, Luo Cheng took the document from Li Shouxi and began to read it.
The above details the causes and effects of how the aristocratic families and the government colluded with each other to raise grain prices, and this was the case throughout the areas surrounding the Tang Dynasty.
It was originally a year of disaster, yet the aristocratic families and the imperial court were not thinking of disaster relief, but were instead raising the price of grain?
Even Luo Cheng suddenly clenched his hands, his eyes were full of anger again.
No wonder his father failed so miserably.
What Luo Yi faced at the beginning were not the so-called rebels, but tens of millions of disaster victims.
“This is also the reason why I asked him to proceed steadily and cautiously.
But your father went up and used the same tactics he used against the grassland people on his own people. It was because he died on the battlefield, otherwise I would not let him go if he came back. "
At this time, Luo Cheng had completely lost his fighting spirit and ambition for revenge.
I originally thought they were a group of rebels, but I didn't expect that they were all homeless or disaster victims who were dying of misfortune.
And considering the three places under Li Shouxi's control, Luo Cheng has even greater admiration for Li Shouxi.
Imagine the disaster that occurred in Youzhou in the first year when it was unprepared. There were also uprisings at that time, but they were quickly quelled by him. The killing back then and the killing today are completely two different concepts.
At that time, Li Shouxi gave most of them a chance to survive, and if they continued to cause chaos, it would be a real rebellion.
But at this time, there were no rebels in the Huai River area who had no chance of survival. If they did not resist, they would be massacred. He would choose the latter.
The former will surely die, but the latter may still have a chance to survive.
When a common man gets angry, blood can splatter five steps away.
What’s more, there are millions of disaster victims.
Luo Chengcai finally understood how capable and courageous Li Shouxi was in managing the world. No wonder he was called the chief of the wise kings of the Nine Provinces and was comparable to the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors.
"Please punish me, Your Majesty!"
As a son, he took the blame for his father's mistakes, and Luo Cheng did not try to escape at all.
He was well aware of the consequences of this defeat. Not only was there a loss of 100,000 elite troops, but also the myth of Liaodong's undefeated state was shattered by his father.
The Nine Elders of the Tang Dynasty! The Legend of Liaodong!
The disastrous defeat brought about by the two major trademarks completely accelerated the chaos and demise of the Tang Dynasty.
"Wake up, this may be God's will.
Winter is coming and the building is about to collapse.
If the imperial court is a big tree with luxuriant branches and leaves, then the aristocratic families are the rotten roots beneath the tree, and this snow disaster is a sign that the building is about to collapse.
This king may be able to block it for a while, but he cannot block it for a lifetime.
Peasant uprisings are the inevitable result of the decline of the imperial court."
Hearing Li Shouxi's sadness, Luo Cheng couldn't help but sigh.
The young prince before him has the ability to govern the country, but he is held hostage by the aristocratic families. Otherwise, how could the once prosperous Tang Dynasty have come to this point.
But at the same time, when the imperial court collapsed, how many families were torn apart and their families were destroyed.
Chapter 238: Going to War to Avenge the Shame
One hundred thousand soldiers, one hundred thousand souls!
So much combat power was lost at one time. Even though Li Shouxi didn't care at all, he still had to maintain the right attitude.
