Volume 1 Wars and Chaos, Chapter 44: A Series of Strategies
Zhang Yang and Lu Xiao had been waiting for a while. Luo Yu inside seemed to be still being tortured. They didn't want to disturb the good things between him and the general, but they had to report the information in their hands.
Just at this time, the cook brought the supper. Zhang Yang took the opportunity to open the door and saw Luo Yu sitting at the desk helping Li Xiuning grind ink. He looked so dog-legged that he really deserved a beating.
The cook was a wonderful person and didn't say anything. He took a bowl of noodles and a small bowl of mutton from the serving plate and placed them on the tea table. Then he picked up the remaining noodles and walked to the side room.
When he met Zhang Yang when he was going out, he stuck out his tongue and pretended to be a dog, then he laughed again, shook his head and left.
Zhang Yang didn't dare to echo his actions because Luo Yu had already looked over, his eyes seeming to ask: "What are you doing here?"
After Zhang Yang saluted, he put the information on the table, pointed at the piece of paper, turned around and left.
Luo Yu was a little confused, so he put down the ink block and opened the information by candlelight.
After reading it, my face became gloomy. What I was most worried about happened. This information was transferred from the Zhuozhou front line three days ago, which means that the Zhuozhou defense battle had started three days ago.
Putting aside his playful thoughts, he gave the information to Li Xiuning and immediately went to find Li Shimin and Changsun Wuji to see if there was any other better way to solve the siege of Zhuozhou.
After reading the information, Li Xiuning imagined Zhuozhou's attack and defense methods in his mind. With the participation of Goguryeo, their siege skills would increase a lot.
The letters have been written, one to Dou Jiande and one to Zhao Kuangyin. It will take at least three to five days from the time they are sent here to the time they complete the troop transfer. Will Zhuozhou still be in Hou Junji's hands by then?
Forget it, let's treat a dead horse as a living doctor. It's even too late to mobilize troops from Changzhi and Jincheng. I just hope that Zhuozhou garrison Hou Junji can hold on until reinforcements arrive.
Just as he was about to call someone to deliver the letter, Luo Yu, Li Shimin, and Changsun Wuji came over. Seeing Li Xiuning holding the letter in her hand, they all shook their heads and told her not to worry.
Li Shimin stepped forward, took the letter from Li Xiuning's hand, and said softly: "Sister, it may be too late to send the letter to the rescue now. We have to find another way."
Li Xiuning said anxiously: "I know time is tight, but I have to do this, otherwise Zhuozhou will fall..."
Luo Yu walked forward and hugged her gently, saying: "Don't worry, I have already thought of a way, but I need your cooperation to complete this rescue."
Li Xiuning didn't believe it and said, "Really? Do you really have a way? How do you want me to cooperate with you?"
Luo Yu helped her from the stone bench to the patio, and Li Shimin and Changsun Wuji also followed. The four of them sat in a circle, waiting for Luo Yu to tell her the solution.
Luo Yu said softly: "Actually, we don't need to go to Zhuozhou to help Hou Junji relieve the siege. We only need to let the Tu-Mongolian coalition retreat. Without this strong reinforcement in the direction of Zhuozhou, they will not be able to make any waves."
When the three heard this, it made sense. Without the Tunisian-Mongolian coalition, the combat effectiveness of those countries was too weak, and they did not dare to go deep into the Central Plains alone.
Luo Yu added: "Besides, the city wall of Zhuozhou is high and the river is wide. It was originally built on the scale of a military town. The city defense is impregnable. With Hou Junji as the main defender, it is not so easy to be breached."
Li Shimin asked: "What's the plan?"
Luo Yu said: "I'm still thinking about the third plan. You guys have a rest tonight and I will make arrangements."
The three of them stared at him, meaning if you don't tell us your plan, how can we sleep peacefully?
Luo Yu was so stared at that he had no choice but to compromise: "I'm just still thinking about the third step to maximize my interests. Since you want to work together, then help me as a consultant."
Then he told all the plans in his mind. When the three of them heard this, they all felt that Luo Yu was a little crazy. If he did this, he might involve his own people. If he failed, not even his bones would be left.
Luo Yu said again: "If you don't enter the tiger's den, you can't catch the tiger's cubs. Although this plan is dangerous, the harvest will be rich. How about it? Do you have any suggestions to add the last step?"
The three of them each thought of some small steps to fill the loopholes so as not to fall short.
That night, a team of more than 20 people came out from Songta Town, holding torches and heading towards Yangquan.
Luo Yu originally wanted to lead the team, but was stopped by three people, so the leader became Li Shimin. Luo Yu felt a little sorry for letting the great emperor take such a big risk.
But who said that her skills were not as good as his? So she could only accompany Li Xiuning to wait for the news in Songta. Yang Man's time to talk to Li Xiuning was occupied again.
This plan couldn't work so quickly, so Luo Yu picked up Li Xiuning, sat on his legs, and coaxed her to sleep like a child.
How could Li Xiuning sleep? But with Luo Yu's attitude, she had to pretend, closed her eyes, leaned her head in Luo Yu's arms, and fell asleep unconsciously while listening to his rhythmic heartbeat and soothing singing.
passed.
The song Luo Yu sang was like the seven-note tune he taught him, and the words were also beautiful. When she heard the sentence "Dancing to clear the shadows, how can it be like being in the world?", she seemed to dream that she was dancing, and only Luo Yu was dancing.
an audience.
Yang Man came here twice, how she wished it was her that Luo Yu was holding in his arms.
Li Shimin and others all dressed up as Turkic soldiers, but they wore Han clothes when they went down the mountain. They had to go to the Turkic military camp at night and get their clothes and weapons. This was the first step of the plan.
This place is very remote, and Li Shimin is leading all elites. Luo Yu has told him that for this operation, he must listen to the opinions of Zhang Yang and his group of experienced people behind enemy lines, and cannot make their own decisions.
At dawn, when Yang Man came over for the third time, Li Xiuning was still sleeping soundly in Luo Yu's arms.
Then I saw that You Lian's pale face had regained a lot of color, and she felt a little regretful for saving her outside Xiyang City.
But this idea was quickly suppressed. This was her doting sister and the general who gave her a second life. Regardless of whether he was a love rival or not, she could not help but save her.
Luo Yu knew that she came twice last night, but she only looked out the window for a while and then left, so he didn't care. The person in his arms was the one he wanted to protect with all his life.
Yang Man brought two breakfasts this time, and Li Xiuning finally woke up to the sound of Luo Yu's somewhat chaotic heartbeat.
In her memory, she sat on Luo Yu's legs like this last night and fell asleep with her head in his arms. It was still the same after she woke up. This idiot held her like this all night. Are his legs okay?
I feel indescribably happy, but also uncomfortable. If you don’t love such a man, what are you waiting for?
So, under Yang Man's stunned gaze, Li Xiuning wrapped around Luo Yu like a snake and gave him a sweet kiss, although he only lightly tapped Luo Yu's forehead.
This was the first time that Li Xiuning expressed her love for Luo Yu in front of others. Maybe she had just woken up and didn't know that Yang Man was opposite. Maybe she had long sensed that Yang Man also admired Luo Yu and deliberately declared it in front of her.
sovereignty.
Luo Yu smiled fondly, took out a hand, helped Li Xiuning straighten the messy hair in front of his forehead, and said, "Are you awake? Go and wash up quickly, and then come over for breakfast."
Li Xiuning nodded obediently, got up from Luo Yu, saw Yang Man standing aside, and hurriedly pulled her out with a blushing face, leaving Luo Yu sitting on the bench with numb legs.
He wanted to get up but found that he couldn't do it for the time being. Although Li Xiuning was thin, his muscles were tight from years of martial arts training. He weighed more than 120 pounds no matter what. Sitting on his lap all night would not be uncomfortable for anyone.
.
Li Shimin wanted to know how Luo Yu trained Zhang Yang and the others so that they could skillfully operate all the techniques behind enemy lines. Even those people from the disguised lineage who had only gone into the mountains with the special forces team were better than him.
Adapt to the battlefield behind enemy lines.
He has been thinking about cultivating such an army in the future, which can not only collect intelligence, but also go behind enemy lines to disrupt their deployment, and even more likely to directly kill the enemy commander.
Looking at the enemy's forward camp in front, before he could react, Zhang Yang and Lu Xiao had already crawled over from the grass with the enemy's clothes.
After changing their clothes, the twenty-six people bypassed the patrol and walked to the camp. Then they picked up the weapons Zhang Yang and the others had stolen on the roadside and formed another patrol team.
They had to pass through the enemy's vanguard camp stuck between two mountains and pass in the direction of the Mongolian military camp.
It is already the end of Yinshi, and it will be dawn soon. It is the time when people are most sleepy.
There are two patrol teams in the enemy camp, and every one stick of incense will alternately march to a random location and ask each other for passwords.
Zhang Yang and the others already knew the password when they came over to steal, just in case, so they could reply if they encountered him.
They were very lucky, until they passed through the tent and met a soldier who had woken up at night. The soldier was sleepy and saw that he was a patrol, so he turned around and entered the tent and continued to sleep.
If there is no danger, if this little soldier takes a closer look, he will find that this patrol team has twelve more people than their patrol team. As long as he opens his mouth, he will attract a real Turk patrol team.
Not daring to delay any longer, everyone rushed towards the back door of the camp. As soon as they exited the camp gate, there was a vast sea and sky behind them.
The back door of the Turkic camp seemed to be much looser than the front door. There were no obstacles such as horses to prevent the camp from rushing. Maybe they thought that the Allied Mongolian cavalry camp was behind it and there was no need to take precautions.
The terrain here is two mountains sandwiched between a ditch. If you want to bypass this pioneer camp, you must either climb over the mountain or take a detour, which is not an easy task.
The guard at the back door was taking a nap at this time. Zhang Yang and Lu Xiao approached him and knocked each of them unconscious without moving, leaving them to fall on the guard post.
Everyone filed past and rushed towards the mountain road in the dark. After passing this level, the road ahead became much easier.
After Li Xiuning finished washing, he took the somewhat haggard Yang Man to the patio. Luo Yu was still sitting on the stool. He rested his forehead with his left hand and drew on the table with his right index finger, as if he was deduce the changes in the military formation.
Li Xiuning walked forward, picked up the breakfast plate, put it gently in front of him, and said a little distressedly: "Eat something first!"
Luo Yu smiled and said: "I'm not hungry, you eat first."
Li Xiuning said: "Is your leg okay?"
Before Luo Yu could speak, Yang Man said first, "Sister, aren't you asking questions knowingly? Brother Yu held you for three whole hours."
Changsun's little sister's voice came from outside: "Wow, brother-in-law, did I miss any exciting plot? Sister Man, tell me quickly!"
Li Xiuning looked at the eldest grandson who jumped up to her and said angrily: "There is no exciting plot!"
Changsun Xiaomei looked at the three of them in disbelief. Just when she was about to speak, Zhou Ye came quickly from outside the door with information in hand. Judging from his expression, he seemed to have good news. Luo Yu guessed that Li Yuan had reacted.
(I was complained that the doggerel after the festival was a little off-topic. After reflection, I feel that they are right. Poetry, as a representative of Chinese culture, is not good enough. I will not write it if it is not good, so as not to make people laugh. Therefore, there will be no epilogue doggerel in the future.
