Chapter One Hundred and Thirty-One: Fire(1/2)
When Li Xi heard that the thief chief Luo Yongsheng was in Fenning, he was moved.
Not only him, none of the deputy generals around him were unmoved.
In this battle to combat the rebellion, Zhao Heng, the most hated by the pseudo-Chu regime, was Luo Yongsheng. His hatred had reached the point of eating his flesh and sleeping with his skin, otherwise he would not have given a heavy reward for the title of marquis.
Especially if they were arrested alive, they were even more hereditary. Since then, the Duke and Marquis have been working together for generations.
Li Xi calculated his current official position and title without having to be arrested alive. Even if he was just a dead Luo Yongsheng, he would be able to walk straight into the center. He would have his own position as a Duke and Marquis.
It was precisely because he was too excited and too excited that Li Xi became alert and shouted fiercely with a fierce look on his face: "You actually dare to commit a fraudulent surrender plan. OK, you have pulled down from left to right."
If ordinary people were afraid that they would be scared to their souls, but Gu Youzhi was really extraordinary. Although his face was extremely frightened, his words were not confused at all.
"If the general kills the villain, no one dares to offer the city for the general. Although the villain's life is despicable, the king's army's great cause of suppressing the rebellion cannot be delayed."
Seeing Gu Youzhi being tied to the ground and his personal soldiers even raised their torture swords, Li Xi finally spoke.
"slow!"
After walking twice from the edge of death, Gu Youzhi felt that his back was sweating at this moment. The stimulation of the survivor of the disaster made him breathlessly, and his two wands trembled constantly.
"You said that the thief chief Luo Yongsheng is in Fenning, but his younger brother is staying in Hongzhou. How can I believe this?"
"It's true, it's true."
Gu Youzhi kowtowed like pounding garlic, and his tears mixed with ashes were covered with a face: "My general said that before the Luo set out, the mansion of the pseudo-Chu Grand Marshal's Mansion said that the royal army of the court would divide the troops to Ningcheng, and then the heavy army to attack Hongzhou.
Therefore, Luo Yongsheng wanted to secretly lead the army to station in Fenning. At that time, he first attacked him and defeated the partial army that came to Fenning, and then went around Hebei to cut off the King's grain road, and finally blocked the killing back to Hongzhou. Attacked inside and outside, he would definitely break the General and the King's army at the city of Hongzhou."
"The thief chief actually has such wisdom!"
After understanding the whole story, Li Xi was really shocked. If this matter was true, then he and the entire army would be defeated.
Looking at Gu Youzhi kneeling in front of the horse, Li Xi was already convinced that this person was indeed not a fraudulent surrender, and there was no way to tell his own plan to defeat the enemy.
"If you don't have your words, our army will be in danger."
Li Xi turned over and dismounted, personally helped Gu Youzhi up, and even untied the latter, comforting him: "Your loyalty is known to me. If you destroy the rebels on holiday, you will definitely express your achievements to the court and the generals of your family."
"I dare not, both the villain and my general have received the favor of the court for generations, and they are unwilling to be rebels."
"Okay, okay." Li Xi comforted her and patted Gu Youzhi's shoulder with her hands: "You just said you wanted to do the city, how are you going to do it?"
"Report to the General, the general who watches the night in two days will be my general. At that time, the general can bring troops outside the city to wait. At that time, my general will make people shine three times on the top of the city. The general only needs to respond twice, which is the signal.
At that time, our general will open the city gates, and at the same time, with the soldiers willing to surrender to the court, the surrendered soldiers of the royal army who are temporarily committed to the rebels, they will shout that the royal army of the court will enter the city, and those who are willing to surrender to the court will be their own people. In this way, the generals in the city will be in chaos and will take advantage of the chaos to capture Fenning. Then they will lead elite troops to drive straight into the city, and they will surely capture the bandit leader Luo Yongsheng alive."
Li Xi looked at Wen Huiliang, then turned his head and pondered for a while: "Okay, you go back and prepare first, I will lead the army to arrive by then."
"See the order." Gu Youzhi held his fists and agreed. Just as he was about to turn around and leave, he heard the sound of Li Xi behind him: "I will give him ten taels of gold."
Gu Youzhi was immediately ecstatic, turned around and bowed, and called out to the general.
When the gold arrived, his eyes shone brightly and he hurriedly put ten taels of gold into his arms.
Such a greed for money also made Li Xi feel relieved.
Judging from Li Xi's subjective view, he is now more inclined to believe Gu Youzhi's words, but Wen Huiliang had just defeated Yu Jingkou in the previous episode, and Li Xi had to overestimate Luo Yongsheng's three-pointer.
Could this be a conspiracy and a fraudulent surrender strategy used by the enemy?
But after thinking about it, he thought why Luo Yongsheng had to do this. If he didn't send Gu Youzhi to surrender, if he really defeated the partial army sent by Li Xi in Fenning, and then went to the Hebei to cross the retreat of the court army, and finally met with the inside and outside of the city of Hongzhou, Li Xi would do it.
If you don't die, you will have to peel off your skin.
Li Xi, who was really unsure of his mind, had to turn over and ask Wen Huiliang.
"Does Wenshuai think this is credible when Gu Youzhi surrenders this time?"
"This..." Wen Hui said with a good word and slowly shook his head: "I can't say it clearly, the way of military strategists is really hard to judge."
After holding it in for a long time, I said such nonsense.
Li Xi had no choice but to order the entire army to advance, arrive at the Fenning camp first, and then the large scattered cavalry to capture the nearby mountain people.
This was not difficult. That night, the whistle cavalry captured seven or eight mountain people. From these mountain people, they learned that a few days ago, a team of tens of thousands of people did set out from Hongzhou City to enter Fenning, with the Chu-character flag and Luo-character flag in the army.
This answer made Li Xi feel relieved. It seemed that Gu Youzhi did not lie to him. Luo Yongsheng was really in the Fenning City!
After confirming this, Li Xike couldn't calm down. When he thought that he would be able to fight inside and outside and fight into Fenning immediately and capture Luo Yongsheng alive, he felt his face numb and excited. He ordered the three armies to assemble, not to light a torch, hide under the night, and lie dormant outside Fenning City.
"This is a great achievement given to me by Li Xi."
Seeing Li Xi's virtue, Wen Hui's heart suddenly skipped a beat.
Because the Li Xi I saw in front of me was very similar to myself who ordered the army to cross the river by the Jingkou River that day!
Looking up at the sky, Wen Huiliang felt cold sweat whirring from his back.
The wind on early summer nights was a little dry, which made Wen Huiliang's lips dry but his whole body was cold.
Without caring about so much, he hurriedly spoke to Li Xi.
"Li Shuai, in order to prevent fraud, please let Wen bring a front army into the city first. Li Shuai, you are temporarily staying outside the city."
It would be fine if he didn't say this, but when he opened his mouth, Li Xi turned cold.
Want to win the first prize?
Everyone knows that seizing Luo Yongsheng's contribution is more important than breaking Hongzhou and destroying the pseudo-Chu regime.
Zhao Heng only cared about Luo Yongsheng, not about how long the court would fight or how many people would die.
Therefore, Kou Yan's orders have a crucial sentence.
For Luo Yongsheng, he must meet people alive and corpses when he dies!
It is possible to accept that the three armies are defeated, but as long as they win Luo Yongsheng, it is called a big victory and there will be rewards.
"Shishou Wen is nearly 60 years old. Let me come here for the charge." Li Xi snorted: "Shishou Wen is afraid, he can take 20,000 people from the headquarters to guard the city, and wait until our army is trapped in the city before entering the wall. The task of controlling the city gate will be handed over to Shuai Wen."
"Oh, okay."
Wen Huiliang couldn't persuade Li Xi, so he had to reluctantly accept it.
The two were chatting, but seeing the fire on the top of the city, Li Xi was immediately overjoyed and hurriedly ordered his personal soldiers to raise the fire and respond.
"Cry~!~!"
The sour city gate sounded, and a team of 'anti-arms' running out with bare hands and shouted as they ran: "Our own people, our own people."
Good guy, the code has met!
Li Xi had no doubts anymore, drew his sword in his hand and roared: "The whole army attacked the city and captured the bandit leader Luo Yongsheng!"
The army responded with a loud bang, lit a torch, and ran towards Fenning City in front of them.
The journey was unobstructed and he successfully passed the city gate and entered the city. Li Xi ordered the army to shout together.
‘When the royal army of the court entered the city, all those who surrendered to the court were their own people.’
For a moment, it caused a response from the city, and there were "rebels" everywhere who put down their weapons and shouted at their own people.
"Hahahaha!!!" Li Xigao sat down and laughed to the sky: "Our army and the great power of the emperor, and wherever we go, the rebel army surrendered in the wind. It's so good."
"Li Shuai, a bandit army is running towards the west of the city, with the word Luo embroidered on its big banner."
Luo Yongsheng wants to escape?
Li Xi was shocked: "The whole army and I will chase you quickly, and you must not let the rebel Luo Yongsheng escape. The commander ordered the troops to go and pass on the commander Wen to lead the army into the city to take over the whole city."
"promise!"
Wen Huiliang, who received the order, entered the city after Li Xi's army, was stunned on the spot.
These "rebels" who shouted about their own people are really their own people!
He pushed away his former subordinate who was kneeling in front of him in a panic. Wen Huiliang fell and crawled and kicked the streets and houses, but he saw that they were all empty.
The evening breeze blows, and the pungent smell of tinea oil hits the nose.
Looking at both sides of the street, the wooden houses are covered with hay.
"I've fallen into the trap."
Wen Huiliang took a step back, his eyes were completely devoid of consciousness, and he suddenly shook his head and returned to the spiritual platform's clearness and roared.
"Go and tell Li Shuai quickly and withdraw! The three armies flee!"
Unfortunately, he discovered it too late.
The dark night suddenly lit up.
What Wen Huiliang looked up was seeing countless rockets coming over the sky and landing on haystacks, haystacks and houses soaked with tinder oil.
A little spark can become a prairie fire.
What's more, there are thousands or even tens of thousands of rockets.
Fenning City suddenly became ignited on all sides, and countless fire dragons roared out of the wind, and then swept along the streets.
The whole city was covered in an instant!
Li Xi was still chasing her excitedly, but she felt a fever on her back, and she turned her head in confusion, and her soul suddenly appeared.
