feud

Luoyang City.

Liu Bai didn't have time to clean the suit of armor, he put it on in a hurry, he didn't even wear a helmet when he went out, it was his wife who kindly reminded him to turn back, and hurriedly ran while tying knots.

The Hulao Pass was breached, Luoyang City was at stake, and the Sheng Wang who exposed his licentious nature as soon as Chongyan left was still in the palace, he ordered all the daughters of the ministers who were waiting in their boudoirs to be selected and played by him.

All of these sounded the death knell for Chu.

Liu Huaxin came and went freely in the two prefectures of Bingji, and his army grew to nearly 5 people. Among them were the Chu army who surrendered, and there were also thieves. Military rewards.But this also put great pressure on Cen Li's own troops. The supply of food and grass was seriously insufficient, and there were beatings in the barracks from time to time.

Cen Li pinched his brows, looked at the [-] captives in the audience, and ordered them to be killed.

He Zhinian climbed onto the high platform at the same time he opened his mouth, crying and yelling that Wang Virus went mad.

The captives in the audience breathed a sigh of relief, and the person who sentenced them to death had disappeared without a trace.

"You lied to me?"

Cen Li ran back to the carriage, but saw Wang Bingduan sitting in the carriage, holding the stove, and said, "You want to learn from Overlord Xiang to kill prisoners?"

Cen Li got into the carriage, felt his pulse with his wrist, and frowned: "You lied to me?"

Wang Bing stared at him without blinking.

Cen Li wanted to put his hand behind his shoulders and hug him, but he shrank back again, like a child who was scolded by his parents for doing something wrong, and said, "I can't help it, Jiegou has a mortal hatred against us. , I don’t have much military pay to feed them, I’m afraid they’ll rebel if they’re hungry, so I might as well kill a hundred of them.”

Wang Bing said in a serious tone never before: "Don't you want to be a teacher of benevolence and righteousness?"

"I wanted to, but there's no way."

"If you do this, you will be condemned by the historians of later generations. Don't kill them. Listen to me. I have a solution. They are captives. They can't eat, and they can't be sent to kill Jie people. Didn't you say that the military pay is huge and the food is not enough?" ? Then let them go."

Cen Li seemed to become as clear as the clouds and see the moon, and said excitedly: "You mean..."

"There are mountains around Hulao Pass in Luoyang. After passing the heavy pass, Luoyang is to the west, Kaifeng is to the east, and Songshan Mountain is to the south. The battle line is stretched and the army is growing. Although Zhuang Mingchen's grain transportation troops cannot meet the needs, we have already penetrated into the Central Plains It is not impossible to rob food in this land... The sage said, "Those who make good use of soldiers will no longer serve, and the food will not last for three years. They will be used for the country. Because the food is from the enemy, the army will have enough food." .”

"Last year, the granary in Luoyang was bottomed out. I heard that Chongyan issued a death order for grain requisition for cutting Liang, and plundered it from the people. Instead, he made wedding dresses for us." Wang Bing smiled, probably knowing himself. Interested, and brought the topic back, "I lied to you, you punish me."

Cen Li was like a prisoner trapped in the dark who suddenly saw the dawn, hugged him tightly, and said, "Ah Qing, I understand."

Let the captives grab the grain, they must know where the granary is, and if they get it, they will get food and give them a chance to make meritorious deeds. If they can't get it, they will die, and it has nothing to do with Cen Li. This is a way to kill two birds with one stone.

"The captives and soldiers were divided into two battalions, and trusted people were sent to guard them." Wang Bing's idea was indeed fanciful, because there was another point, the food and grass were limited, and their 5 horses did not know whether they could support Luoyang.

Wang Bing coughed a few times, looked up at him, and said, "I promise, as long as we get to Luoyang, there will be food. Hua Xin, don't kill them yet, don't learn from that overlord."

"I see. Don't worry, don't kill them." Cen Li pulled the quilt over him, then closed the quilt and held him in his arms, shaking him gently, like a mother coaxing a baby to sleep.

"You will be recorded in the annals of history in the future. You must not kill captives. If you want to kill... someone else will kill for you. You must not give the order yourself, and you can't... cough cough cough." Wang Bing bowed into a shrimp shape, clutching The mouth coughed violently, and there was a feeling that the internal organs were upside down and dislocated.

"Didn't that brat let you talk? Stop talking, I'll listen to you, I won't kill them, so stop talking." Cen Li saw him coughing and gasping for air, his heart twisted hard , immediately raised the curtain and called He Zhinian who was standing not far away in a daze.

On August [-]th, the night before the Mid-Autumn Festival, Cen Li's army arrived at the city of Luoyang, and revisited the old place, Luoshui Yiyi, the city wall remained the same, the scenery did not change, what changed was the people around and opposite.

Cen Li reined in his horse from the city, and looked at the panicked expressions of Liu Bai and all the soldiers of the Chu army on the city, and suddenly felt a surge of joy.He decided to divide his troops into three groups and attack from the west and east of the city. Sun Li stationed troops at Ximing Gate, Gao Yue stationed troops at Guangyang Gate, and himself, Zhong Yi and He Lianyu stationed troops at Upper East Gate.The front army and the rear army arrived one after another, and the cavalry and infantry were coordinated, and it took half a month to arrive from Pingyang to Luoyang.

The time to avoid the Hulao Pass and cross the Yellow River is shorter, but Wang Bing said that these recruits need experience, the speed of marching can be delayed, and the food and grass are not really at the point of imminent danger. After training, a team of tigers and wolves can be used to rob food and grass. It would be much better if [-] recruits arrived in Luoyang and were beaten to the point of being confused.It can be seen that Wang Bing has a long-term vision and is much more ruthless than ordinary soldiers. After all, there are not many people who dare to gamble with food and the lives of recruits.

Now that the problem of recruits being unable to fight no longer existed, Cen Li used the method of rewarding military merits to turn them into red-eyed machines.If you take the head to receive the reward, you may become a general. People have desires and greed. These untouchables do not have the support of noble blood and famous families. Only by relying on this can they have a chance to become a master. Cut off a few more heads to change your humble fate?

At this point in the chess game, Luoyang City will definitely be bloody again.There is only one way to take down an empty city—quickly.

With 5 horses, there is no more, no more, and no less. What is important in war is quick battles. No one wants to drag tens of thousands of people to squat at other people's gates to ambush.What's more, these [-] mouths are still waiting for food and grass in the city, so there is no delay.Cen Li ordered the soldiers to set up camp as quickly as possible, preparing for a surprise attack tomorrow night.

On the night of Mid-Autumn Festival, the sun sinks into the horizon and night falls.

Liu Bai sent two hundred soldiers to guard Luoyang, went out from Jinyangmen to go around to the rear of Zhao Jun, intending to burn Zhao Jun's food and tents.

At the same time, most of the Zhao army gathered at the Xiyang Gate of Luoyang City. Cen Li planned to take Luoyang in one go, but he didn't know that Liu Bai's Qingqi was approaching the camp.

Cen Li stationed his troops at the east gate, which was the place Wang Bing had agreed with Sima Heng. Liu Bai's general's mansion was far away from here. Sima Heng took advantage of the night to sneak up on the shift guards, put on the armor of the Chu army, and slipped up the tower. Wall-attached spider.

"The thieves are looking around outside the city, we have to think about it."

"The little ones will naturally follow the adults, and will never hesitate to die."

"You, Henan Yin, claim to be a little girl in front of me? Are you old and confused? Ah? The lower officials can't afford it. Oh, yes, I heard that your daughter is blessed. She was chosen by King Sheng as a maid, and the lower officials should give it to you." Congratulations."

"Wow, my lord, I really made fun of the little one. The little girl can no longer serve the lord, so she can only be counted as a poor fortune. She doesn't have that fate. You see, my lord..."

"Forget it, your third daughter is only 11 years old, I'm afraid I'm not that lucky."

"But...but...my lord, if this...little girls are not well taken care of, you can teach them as you like, and you don't have to show mercy at all."

Luoyang Ling laughed loudly, his voice sounded full of sluttyness, and he also had the heroic and proud feeling of a literati after he scribbled his pen and ink.

"The lower official said, your daughter is really not good..."

"No, no, no, my lord, you must not refuse, this... whoever didn't knock on the door, you bastard without eyes!"

The door was opened suddenly, and Sima Wei walked in. Luoyang Ling didn't pay attention to this small soldier at all, and only looked at him with his nostrils.Henan Yin's words were interrupted by someone who came, and just now he flattered Luoyang Ling like a dog licking his boots, but he was slapped like a fly, so he was really angry.

Sima Wei knew that he would be hit by a knife when he came in at this time, so he knelt in a dignified manner, as if he was leading the way.

Henan Yin said angrily: "Where is the bastard, didn't you see that I was talking with the Fujun? Get out!"

Sima Wei was indifferent to such insults, after a while, he smiled and said: "My lord, I have a perfect way to defeat Zhao Jun, and I came here to learn from Mao, so I recommend myself."

Luoyang Ling signaled Henan Yin Xiaoan not to be impatient, looked at the visitor with contempt, and said, "It doesn't hurt to listen."

As soon as he finished speaking, Sima Wei gathered strength with his right foot, got up halfway up, and suddenly jumped on the ground, moving like a rabbit, and pulled out his waist knife in an instant, Henan Yin didn't even have time to let out a scream, and his head was already decapitated.

Henan Yin's head rolled down to Luoyang Ling's feet. His face was blue with fright, and his fat body trembled and moved back a little bit. The two of them had a secret conversation here, and all the accompanying guards were sent away. Let's go, huh... the real loner.

"You, you, you, you... who are you!? Come on, come on!; Come on... ah."

Sima Wei didn't even want to show this beast an expression, the bloody knife rested on his neckless shoulder.

The fat all over Luoyang Ling trembled, and when he spoke, his saliva spewed out, his eyes were fixed on the knife that would cut off his head at any moment, "You...you can't kill me, I am the county magistrate of Luoyang! Look Have you gone to those Zhao Jun who kill without batting an eye outside the city? My brother is the general inside! If you kill me, he will not let you go!"

Sima Wei suddenly realized, no wonder Henan Yinbaba sent his daughter to him. It turned out to be nothing but grass. Before the war was fought, he had already paved the way back, but it was a pity that they could not use this way.

-

On the city wall, Sima Wei wrapped the two heads together, walked out of the tower, avoided a few patrolling soldiers, took out the heads, hung them under the crenel, turned back, and set fire to the room where the murder had just occurred.

The fire grew stronger by the east wind, and soon, the upper east gate became billowing with thick smoke. Even Zhao Jun, who was three miles away from the city gate, could see the fire clearly.

Cen Li raised his head, knowing that Sima Heng's business was done, he said loudly: "Come on! God help me, Da Zhao, the whole army will attack!"

Inside the city gate, the soldiers saw the burning city tower in a mess, and someone shouted, "There are heads on it, it belongs to Luoyang Ling and Henan Yin". This person is naturally Sima Wei. Looking up, fear spread among this group of ignorant people who had lost their leader, even forgetting the Zhao army who was attacking the city.

The people outside the city made concerted efforts to hit the city gate, and the people inside the city stepped on me and scattered like birds and beasts. One can imagine the ending.

The city gate could no longer withstand the impact of the log, and let out a wailing of unwillingness and opened its arms to welcome the messenger. Cen Li successfully captured the upper east gate with zero casualties. Zhao Jun rushed into the city shouting, and the killing began.

-

The Jinyang Gate of Luoyang City opened, two hundred Qingqi rushed in, the gate closed again, and Qingqi rushed to Xiyangmen on a familiar road.

"General! I found Ruan Nong in Camp Zhao!"

Liu Bai stood on the city wall and looked at the "Zhao" flag fluttering not far away. Hearing this, he turned his head and asked the visitor, "Ruan Nong? How does this name sound familiar?"

|"It was the person who claimed to be a student of Wang Fu when we followed His Majesty to the south to Luoyang last year!"

"Wang Fu? Ruan Nong?" Liu Bai thought for a while, then said in surprise, "You mean... Ruan Nong? He is actually Wang Fu's son, that Wang... Wang Bing!"

Before the fall of Luoyang last year, that Ruan Nong threw himself into a trap and came to Zhaoying, kidnapped Chen Jieyuan and escaped. Everyone saw this with their own eyes.After they defeated Luoyang and won the victory, they learned from the captured Liang Jun that he was Wang Bing, the son of Wang Fu. In fact, only a few generals of Zhao Jun at that time knew about it, and others thought he was Ruan Nong.

Wang Bing's father was the culprit in the destruction of the Zhao Kingdom. It is really appalling that the prince who rebelled would allow him to join the Zhao army.

Liu Bai: "Quick! Bring him up quickly! I want to interrogate him myself!"

Wang Bing's hands and feet were tied, and he was pushed around involuntarily.

"Ill?" Liu Bai frowned and looked at him. Although there was a terrifying scar on his face, such a beautiful face is rare in the world. Once you see it, it will leave a deep impression on you.

Liu Bai: "Untie, untie quickly."

Wang Bing's wrist was bruised and purple by the thick rope. He looked at this general who had met several times in the Zhao army camp in Luoyang, and there was a hint of sarcasm in his eyes.

This bereaved dog will soon be beaten to the knees begging for mercy by Cen Li.

It's refreshing.Thinking that the people who once invaded their Liang people's country will be defeated here, he still can't control the pleasure of revenge, even he himself can't believe it, maybe all the causes and effects in the past, although he doesn't care, now it seems that, in fact It was an excuse to deceive himself, and he never let it go.

"Ruan Nong... Maybe I should call you Wang Bing." Liu Bai approached him carefully and said, "I didn't expect you to have the ability to go to heaven and earth. Zhao Jun's barracks probably won't be able to accommodate a talent like you."

Wang Bing stared at him without saying a word.

Suddenly, a group of black shadows slipped in through the window at an astonishing speed. Immediately afterwards, Liu Bai's eyes went dark, and his face felt a burning pain.

Wang Bing: "Gu Yun! Run away!"

Liu Bai was furious, and raised his hand to strike forward, but he hit nothing, and said angrily, "Where did the beast come from!!"

The others pulled out their knives one after another, and wanted to kill the guy who had scratched their general's face with blood. Guyun circled around the roof for a few times. He swooped down, nimbly dodged all the glaring knives, and snatched away a piece of Wang Bing's collar quickly and accurately.
