Wang Shichong had the urge to cry, not only because Sima Dekan temporarily strangled his throat when crossing Luoshui, but also because Yu Wenhua and the main force of the army also responded very quickly. On the Jiushan trail leading directly to Luokou on the south bank of Yanshi section, Xiaoguo army's activities have been found. At the same time, Li Mijun who was stationed in Heishi Fort also took the risk to send news, saying that Brother Hua and his brother had urgently divided thousands of troops and had seized the area. The Luoshui bridge to the northwest of Blackstone Fortress completely cut off the thoughts behind Wang Shichong's flash attack and his brother.
Slowly step by step, the initiative on the battlefield has been far away from Wang Shichong unconsciously, and it takes time and effort to rush across Yanshidu. Any chance of a sudden attack, there is a high possibility to meet Wang Shichong with the main force. The Jiushan trail is narrow and rugged, and it is difficult for the army to spread out on the mountain road. Brother Hua and Brother only need a small amount of troops to stop Wang Shichong, and then the main force can smash Wang Shichong's waist with a right uppercut.
Li Mi, who received the news, also had the urge to cry. In order to cover Wang Shichong, Li Mi sent troops to attack Hua Jixiong at all costs. After making a lot of losses, seeing that Wang Shichong suddenly appeared behind Brother Huaji, the main force of the Yuwen Army would immediately be caught off guard, but Wang Shichong's surprise attack plan had a huge deviation. All went down the drain.
Brother Huaji's life was a little easier, at least Wang Shichong didn't catch him by surprise, he had plenty of time to adjust his tactical deployment, the army could move calmly, and Li Mijun didn't have the opportunity to take advantage of the fire. But that's all. Wang Shichong suddenly appeared behind him, and Hua Jixiong's next battle is still very difficult. If you are not careful, you may capsize in the gutter, and Wang Shichong and Li Mi will join forces to defeat the strong with the weak This possibility is not small.
The treacherous and treacherous Wang Shichong quickly posed another problem for Huaji brother. Unable to get the opportunity to surprise Huaji brother behind him, Wang Shichong simply didn't even go to Yanshidu, and ordered the army to rest on the spot and set up a camp. In order to maintain a long-term foothold behind Brother Huaji, he not only restrained Brother Huaji's main force from a distance, but also obtained the two natural dangers of Luoshui and Jiushan, luring Brother Huaji to take the risk of sending troops to attack him.
Some friends must ask, Wang Shichong's main force is far away from the city, so he is not afraid that Hua Jixiong will take the opportunity to attack his Luoyang lair? The answer is that Wang Shichong is really not afraid. If the main force of Huaji brother wants to go back to fight the Eastern Capital, he must pass through the Yanshi area. As long as there is any trouble, Wang Shichong, who is stationed in the south of Luoshui, can quickly return to the Eastern Capital at any time. Defending the city, brother Huaji likes to let the main force go back and forth, and Wang Shichong will accompany him to the end!
Under such circumstances, of course, Hua Jixiong can only shrink his troops while strengthening the defense of Wang Shichong and the protection of Luoshui Ferry, and then quickly call a group of civil and military subordinates to discuss countermeasures. It is suggested that Hua Jixiong turn around temporarily, first take advantage of the field advantage to deal with Wang Shichong, and then turn around to deal with Li Mi again.
Because the main team has repeatedly taken advantage of the field battles, Brother Huaji was very tempted by this proposal, and almost decided to adopt it on the spot. Stopped Brother Huaji, and pointed out: "If our army turns around and attacks Wang Shichong first, Wang Shichong will definitely confront our army by virtue of the natural danger in Luoshui, or he may retreat back to the Eastern Capital while fighting, and lead our main force to the west. At that time, Li Mipifu will definitely send troops to attack our back, making it difficult for us to continue."
Brother Huaji, who had already suffered enough in the two-front battle, hesitated and began to waver again. At this time, Brother Huaji's confidant Meng Jing suddenly made a genius suggestion, saying: "Prime Minister, Yun Ding Xing Yun The general had a good relationship with your father and took good care of you. Why don’t you ask him to send troops to Luokou Cang and march along the south bank of Luoshui River? We don’t expect him to defeat Wang Shichong, as long as he can temporarily block Wang Shichong for a while, Our main force can pass through Luoshui calmly and completely annihilate Wang Shichong's main force."
"A great plan!" Brother Hua Ji's eyes lit up immediately, and he said in surprise, "We are not afraid of people who are forced to cross Luoshui to death. We are afraid that old man Wang Shichong will run away and not give us a chance to fight. If Uncle Yun sends troops to help us Stop him, and Wang Shichong will die!"
"Brother, don't place too much hope on Old Uncle Yun." Yu Wenzhi quickly warned: "Uncle Yun is good to us brothers, but he has already said something beforehand. We will help a little, but we will definitely not send troops directly to help us! Otherwise, he will have no way to explain to Chen Yingliang!"
"Brother, I think you can give it a try." Yu Wenzhi had a different opinion, and said, "What Chen Yingliang gave to Uncle Yun was nothing more than high-ranking officials, rich salary and beauties, and we can give him these too, and even more. Let's send more gifts, secretly appoint a high-ranking official to Uncle Yun, and ask him for help, maybe we can succeed. Anyway, the distance is not far, and the road on the north bank of Luoshui is under our control. We can go back and forth in more than a day, even if it doesn't work We have time to renegotiate."
The good brother Yu Wenhuaji has always had the deepest relationship with Yuwen Zhiji, and what Yu Wenzhiji said made sense, so Huaji brother didn't even bat an eyelid, and immediately adopted the second brother's suggestion and decided to give it to General Yun A large sum of gold, silver and jewelry, and at the same time, he used Yang Hao's reputation to confer the titles of Xiangguo Gong and Taiwei to General Yun, which directly made General Yun rank among the three princes—in fact, General Yun also made a step forward in history. He was listed among the three lords, and then immediately wrote a book by himself, and sent a eloquent envoy to Xin'an to contact Old General Yun.
Although he knew it was not very sure to do so, but considering that General Yun has always been unscrupulous and ruthless, and that the main force of the Yuwen Army avoided Wang Shichong's surprise attack this time, it was all thanks to General Yun. Yu Wenzhi and Feng Deyi and other rational factions did not strongly oppose it. On the contrary, they still had a little hope. At the same time, Brother Huaji also ordered the main force to stay on the defensive for the time being, waiting for General Yun's reply without mentioning it.
…
If General Yun is serving as Wang Shichong's subordinate now, then with Yu Wenshu's life-threatening friendship with General Yun and Huaji's strong military strength, General Yun might turn against Wang Shichong, but it is a pity, The general is now acting as an accomplice to Chen Sangliang, and Chen Sangliang, who is thriving, has a better prospect than Hua Ji, who is the target of public criticism. Old General Yun, who is unparalleled in holding his thighs, must be stupid to turn his back on Chen Sang at this time Liang defected to Huaji brother—doing so was basically the same as leaving the Communist Party in 1949 and joining the Chiang gang.
Besides, Chen Sangliang is really good to General Yun, he is the only person who has thought about the safety of General Yun's life, no matter how heartless General Yun is, he is somewhat moved, so Hua Ji's brother's bribery is naturally rejected , Old General Yun also told Hua Jixiong's emissary very directly, "Not to mention that I can't be sorry to Ying Liang's nephew, even if I feel sorry for Hua Ji and nephew, I can ignore it, and my subordinates will not follow me. I dare to order an attack today. Wang Shichong, they can cut off the old man's head tonight and send it to Daxing to ask for credit."
Brother Huaji's envoy refused to give up, and begged again: "Old General, can you think again? Now that Wang Shichong's main force has been mobilized, it is easy for us Prime Minister Yuwen to defeat him in the field. The only thing we worry about is him. Run ahead of time, old general, if you can stop Wang Shichong for a while, even if you only buy us a day, Wang Shichong will be dead. At that time, our prime minister will take advantage of the momentum to take down Dongdu, the jeweled beauty in Luoyang city, old general As much as you want."
Old General Yun continued to shake his head, no matter how much the envoy Huaji agitated, he just refused to nod in agreement, and after the envoy Huaji who did not dare to turn against General Yun had no choice but to give up, General Yun first understood something about Huaji. After contemplating the current situation of Brother Ji's army for a while, Old General Yun suddenly said, "Why did nephew Hua Ji have to fight Wang Shichong and Li Mi in Luokou Cang? Why didn't he consider returning to Jinyong City? Pretend to attack Dongdu to lure Li Mi to send troops to rescue Wang Shichong, and then defeat Li Mi in the field?"
"The old general thinks we should go back to Jinyong City?" The envoy Hua Ji was a little stunned, and said in doubt: "But after we turned around and came back, we are still not sure to win the Eastern Capital City? Also, if Li Mipifu refuses to send out the main force to rescue Wang Shichong, what shall we do?"
"Li Mipifu will definitely send troops." General Yun replied very simply, saying: "Wang Shichong went out to rescue him this time, Li Mipifu had to repay this kindness, and I still have a way to lure Li Mipifu to send troops to the Eastern Capital for you. There is also a way for Wang Shichong's main force to leave the protection of the eastern capital city wall and send troops to fight a decisive battle with you in the wild, and the chances are particularly high."
"What trick does the old general have?" Hua Jixiong asked the envoy overjoyed.
"The secret must not be leaked." Old General Yun refused to answer, and said, "Go back and tell Nephew Hua Ji that if he can trust me, he will quickly bring the main force back to Jinyong City. At that time, I will naturally have a way to get Wang Shichong and Li Mi to send troops. If you fight him in the field, if he doesn't trust me, then I really have nothing to do."
After half-believingly agreeing, Huaji's emissary bid farewell and left, but as soon as Huaji's emissary left, Zhang Yongtong, Yao Yi, and Xian Yuzhi's deputies also appeared in front of Old General Yun as a matter of course. Asked: "Old general, why did you persuade Yu Wenhua and return to Jin Yongcheng to fight Wang Shichong and Li Mi in the suburbs of Dongdu?"
"Because the distance is short." Old General Yun replied bluntly: "Xin'an is more than 120 miles from Yanshi, and 160 miles from Luokou Cang. If there is any change in the battle situation there, it is too late for us to intervene. Let Hua and his nephew bring the battlefield back to Jin Yongcheng, and we will have the opportunity to adapt to the situation on the battlefield."
"But the old general, Yu Wenhua and his return to Jin Yongcheng will be very unfavorable to him." Yao Yi warned: "The eastern capital Luoyang is too strong and difficult to attack. It is difficult to do it in the Eastern Capital. As long as Luoyang, the eastern capital, is not in a hurry, Li Mipifu will not send troops to rescue Wang Shichong. Wang Shichong is short of food, and Yu Wenhua and the grain and grass are not much. Li Mipifu’s food and grass can last him for several years. The longer the war lasts, the more beneficial it will be for Li Mi, and it is impossible for Li Mipifu not to see this."
Old General Yun smiled, and he was still very proud of his smile, and said: "Nephew of good intentions, do you think that the old man said that there is a way to lure Li Mi's main force to the Eastern Capital battlefield, and let Wang Shichong go out of the city to fight with Hua and his nephew? And nephew back to the army?"
"Old General, do you really have a way to do this?" Yao Yi asked in surprise.
Seeing Old General Yun stroking his beard and nodding with a smile, Yao Yi, Zhang Yongtong and the others were even more pleasantly surprised. They hurriedly asked Old General Yun what the trick was, and how to do it specifically? As a result, Old General Yun couldn't help laughing loudly, and said with a smug smile: "Nephews, why don't you think about it, do you still need to use your hands to fan the flames and use bait? Our Prime Minister Chen sent troops to attack Xue Ju And Li Gui, no matter how stupid Li Mi and Wang Shichong's meticulous work is, they can detect such a big move. Knowing that our main force can't send troops to the Eastern Capital for the time being, why don't Wang Shichong and Li Mi hurry up and attack their nephew? Do you want to wait for our main force to kill Xue Ju and Li Gui, then turn around and take the opportunity to attack them and take them off?"
Yao Yi, Zhang Yongtong and the others were once again speechless in front of Old General Yun. After a long time, Zhang Yongtong gave Old General Yun a thumbs-up, and sincerely praised: "There is no plan to win, old general, today is the next day!" It really convinced you."
Yao Yi and Xian Yuzhi nodded in agreement, and their impression of Old General Yun completely changed, but our Old General Yun still refused to be satisfied, and he thought to himself with his gray beard, "Hua Ji's nephew must be more demanding when he withdraws to Jinyong City." Old man, of course he has to take part of the gold and silver treasures he robbed from Jiangdu for his father with interest. Old man, I have to think of a way to get some benefits from them. Otherwise, I will be too sorry for the Dongdu treasury occupied by Wang Shichong, and I will be too sorry for those ordinary people who were robbed by Li Mipi. "
…
Not to mention, Old General Yun's flirtatious empty promise still holds a lot of weight in front of Brother Hua, and Brother Hua is very tempted by it. But most of the Xiaoguo army stopped doing civil and military affairs, and they all shouted: "Are you kidding me? After attacking Luoyang City, come to attack Luokou Cang. After defeating Luokou Cang, go back to attack Luoyang City. Our soldiers will travel hundreds of miles away." Running back and forth to play? Go back to Jin Yongcheng to pretend to attack the Eastern Capital, and lead Li Mipifu to dispatch the main force to save the Eastern Capital. It sounds good. If Li Mi does not send troops, we will not be able to defeat the Eastern Capital, which is stronger than Luokou Cangcheng. Soldiers Isn't death in vain and pain in vain?"
"Brother, Uncle Yun is not joking, he is playing us." Yuwen Shiji was also a little angry, and said: "The defense of the Eastern Capital City is far stronger than that of Luokou Cang, and there is still the Palace City and the Imperial City to defend. Going to fight Dongdu, fools will know that we are feigning an attack, Li Mi is so treacherous, how could he fall into such a trick?"
It is rare that brother Hua Ji, who has always been grumpy, did not get angry this time because of General Yun's perfunctory attitude and stupid strategy. On the contrary, he showed some rare expressions of calculation and contemplation. I understand, but Uncle Yun also said that as long as we return to Jinyong City, he will not only guarantee that Li Mi will take the initiative to send troops, but also Wang Shichong will also take the initiative to leave the protection of the Eastern Capital City and send troops to fight us."
"Brother, do you believe such absurd words?" Yuwen Shiji asked in disbelief.
"Of course I don't believe what other people say, but Uncle Yun..." Brother Huaji suddenly turned his gaze to Yuwen Zhiji, and asked, "Second brother, we have known Uncle Yun for seventeen or eighteen years. Have you ever been our brothers?"
"No." Yu Wenzhiji replied very simply, "Since we got to know Uncle Yun, he has never lied to us, and he has never failed to do anything he promised us."
Sometimes credit is really important. After hearing the second brother's answer, Hua Ji immediately turned his attention to the rest of the people and said, "Everyone, do you hear that? Uncle Yun Ding Xing Yun never lied to me, I believe him This time he won't lie to us, so as long as we return to Jin Yongcheng, he will definitely find a way to force Wang Shichong and Li Mi to send troops to fight us in the field!"
"Brother, I also know something about your relationship with Uncle Yun." Yuwen Shiji said painfully: "He never lied to you, and he will do what he promised you, but he only promised you some playthings and beauties before." , now is a war, now is the battlefield of life and death between the two armies!"
"Shiji, shut up! Brother's decision is right!"
The relationship between Yuwen Zhiji and Yuwen Shiji has always been bad, first he stopped the third younger brother, and then turned to the generals of the Xiaoguo army and said: "Everyone, I also know that such a thing is too unimaginable to be trusted, but you have considered this Is there a problem? Why did General Yun Dingxing lie to us? After we returned to Jinyong City, the great thing is that we failed to attack the city, but our food and grass can last for a while, and we can fully bear the temporary unfavorable progress. What benefits do you get? He is not afraid of making you anxious, and leads the army to fight him? Do you think this is his usual behavior?"
Hearing this, Feng Deyi and Zheng Shanguo, the veteran politicians who were present at the scene, nodded immediately, and they both said yes. This kind of thing that hurts others and does not benefit oneself. As a result, after hearing the conclusions of Feng Deyi and Zheng Shanguo, the generals of the Xiaoguo Army felt that they were justified, so they no longer protested angrily, but listened carefully to Yuwen Zhiji's analysis.
"I think this risk is worth taking." Yuwen Zhiji said: "First, Old General Yun doesn't need to lie to us, let alone tease us with red lips and white teeth. He must be sure if he dares to promise. Second, we If you don't return to Jinyong City, the next battle will be difficult to fight. Li Mi has Luokou Cangcheng to defend, Wang Shichong has Luoshui to defend, and the Jiushan path is too narrow and rugged, so there is no way to use troops on a large scale. In the middle, no one is sure to win immediately, and there is a possibility of being attacked from behind at any time."
"Instead of that, it's better to go back to Jin Yongcheng." Yu Wenzhi said with his hands outstretched: "Back to Jin Yongcheng, our biggest loss is wasting time and food, but if the promise of General Yun can be fulfilled, we can usher in a favorable situation. In the current situation, you can rely on the city to fight to the death with the two thieves Wang Shichong and Li Mi, and have General Yun's army to help contain it, which is far better than being in a world of ice and snow, and having to suffer from the wind and snow."
The Xiaoguo guards were finally tempted, they all nodded and said yes, this is the reason, the great thing about returning to Jinyong City is that the hard work is in vain, it is better than being flanked by Wang Shichong and Li Mi in the current ice and snow and unfavorable terrain. Brother Hua Ji believed in his old uncle Yun, and he didn't hesitate after hearing this, and immediately said: "Then let's do this, immediately arrange to return to Jin Yongcheng, Li Mipifu dares to chase him, and take the opportunity to kill him! "
So, relying on General Yun's light promise, the Xiaoguo Army, who had already paid thousands of lives and countless injuries under the Luokou warehouse, made a decisive decision. Returning to Jinyong City, Xue Shiliang and Zhang Kai of the Xiaoguo Army led the army to lead the way, Fan Wenchao took the flank and was in charge of monitoring Wang Shichong on the south bank of Luoshui River, and Chen Zhilue, who had drawn Li Mijun's teeth all over the ground several times in field battles, was in charge of the rear. Brother Ji led the main force to walk in the middle, and the retreat was arranged in a well-organized manner, leaving no opportunity for the opponents Li Mi and Wang Shichong.
No matter how organized the retreat back to the division, it will not be able to appease the resentment of the soldiers of Xiaoguo against Bai's hard work, and the anger of Sima De who is confronting Wang Shichong's main force at the Yanshi Ferry. After some tongue-in-cheek, Sima Dekan, whose slender arms couldn't twist his thick thighs, followed him back to the division.
Repeatedly confirming that Hua Jixiong's retreat was true, Wang Shichong, of course, hurriedly withdrew to Dongdu to continue defending the city, and at the same time asked Li Mi for help, asking Li Mi to send troops to help as soon as possible, so as not to fight alone in the Dongdu battlefield. At the same time, Wang Shichong still had some sneers in his heart, and said to himself: "Yu Wenhua and you, you have water in your head, right? If you dare to go back to the army to fight Dongdu at this time, your elite is either exhausted or frostbitten. Don't say it." It’s the imperial city of Miyagi, I can assure you, you don’t even hope to take the outer city!”
While Wang Shichong sneered, Li Mijun, who finally made it to the victory in the Luokoucang defense battle, was of course cheering continuously. Countless Li Mijun soldiers with blood on their faces and wounds on their bodies held up their broken weapons and jumped on the city wall again. Jumping again, shouting and shouting. Li Mi, who has lost a lot of weight these days, smiled even more happily, and secretly said: "Finally get out, get out, it's better to fight Dongdu, Dongdu is more difficult to fight than Luokoucang, if you pretend to hit me, I will stand still , You really fight, when you have almost exhausted in the city defense battle, I can just send troops to take advantage of it."
The sneer turned into a sneer, and after relaxing, Li Mi still looked farther to the west, thinking to himself: "That traitor is probably waiting for that moment, if there is any way to prevent his main force from entering the Eastern Capital for the time being, then Alright, then I will go all out and risk my life to fight a decisive battle with Yu Huahua and ordinary people!"
That night, it was discovered that Brother Hua Ji had indeed led the main force back to Jinyong City in person. Our old general Yun immediately sent his nephew Yun Fu to send a message to Brother Hua Ji, "Nephew, just rest at ease and let the army Soldiers rest and heal their wounds, restore their combat strength, and make random siege weapons for display and keep them as spares. Fifteen days! Within fifteen days, the old man guarantees that Li Mipifu will bring the main force to Jinyong City to die!"
