Chapter Seven hundred and fortieth one: cold nature
After Li Jing's army withdrew from Huayin, the 150,000 troops led by Luo Yi and the three anti-border kings were stationed north of the Yellow River. There was no intention of continuing southward. Luo Yi personally led the army and stationed in Hanoi. Liang Division They all stationed in Xia County, Liu Wuzhou stationed in Xiuwu, and Guo Zihe stationed in Hedong. The troops were divided into four groups and directly connected to form a blockade. It was possible to go south to Luoyang at any time.
After Luo Yi entered Hanoi, he already received the news that Li Jing had retreated to Luoyang. Luo Yi was not surprised. In other words, this was within Luo Yi's expectation. Luo Yi immediately ordered his 50,000 troops to garrison in Hanoi. .At the same time, scouts were sent to Luoyang to investigate Liang Jun's movements.
What surprised Luo Yi was that he originally thought that Wan He would stick to Luoyang, but he did not expect that Wan He would personally lead Liang Jun to attack. Luo Yi did not expect that Wan He would be so decisive. Although they now gave Li Jing They were forced back to Luoyang. But the strength of Liang Jun should not be underestimated. According to the intelligence obtained during the previous alliance between Luo Yi and Wan He, Liang Jun had at least 200,000 troops. If it were not for the troops of the three rebel kings at the border and Li Shimin Luo Yi would never dare to confront Wan He head-on with the Tang army as his backing. But even so, Luo Yi still had to be cautious when dealing with Wan He's army, because he had received information from Goguryeo assassins. The assassins who assassinated Li Jing, Qin Qiong and other Liang Jun generals all failed. Not even a single Liang Jun general was killed. Luo Yi also knew how powerful Li Jing, Qin Qiong and other Liang Jun generals were. It's not that easy to defeat them. You have to be extra careful.
"What? Are you sure?" In the Hanoi City Prefect's Mansion, Luo Yi looked at the scout who was covered in dust with a look of shock. His eyes were full of doubts. He confirmed with the scout again and again.
And the scout also said with great certainty: "The villain has confirmed it again and again. Wan He led the army from Luoyang. He only had more than 70,000 soldiers and horses. The villain and several brothers followed secretly for several days. .I did not see any other soldiers and horses coming to respond. It is certain that the number of soldiers and horses led by Wan He will not exceed 80,000 at most."
"Eighty thousand." After hearing the scout's words, Luo Yi's brows immediately furrowed and he began to murmur secretly in his heart. At this moment, a counselor beside Luo Yi was Zhao Cihao, the governor of Youzhou appointed by Luo Yi. . Facing Luo Yi, he said: "King Yan, Wan He's Liang army will not be less than 200,000 men. Now he is attacking with less than 80,000 men. There must be a fraud in this. King Yan, please be careful. wonderful."
There is a fraud. Of course I know there is a fraud. Luo Yi glared at Zhao Cihao angrily. Could it be that he really thinks this king is a fool? He can't even see such a simple strategy. But now the question is. What is Wan He doing? What kind of deception? If it is just a trick to lure the enemy, then where are the soldiers and horses used to ambush them? After thinking about it, Luo Yi felt more and more chilled. He didn't even know where the shadow of the opponent's soldiers and horses was. This How can we fight this battle?
"Damn it." Thinking of this, Luo Yi couldn't help but cursed. In the final analysis, those Goguryeo assassins were useless. They boasted better than anything else before, but in the end, it was of no use at all. In the end, Luo Yi could only take a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "Order the entire army to stand still. Continue to dispatch scouts. We must find out the enemy's movements. Especially the whereabouts of Li Jing, Qin Qiong and Pei Renji."
Luo Yi knew very well that among Wan He's generals, these three were the most powerful in marching and fighting. The others, Pei Xingyan, Cheng Yaojin and Luo Shixin, were all strong generals who charged into battle, but were not good at marching and forming formations. Therefore, what Luo Yi needs to be on guard most is these three people. After Luo Yi gave the order, his general He Lanyi also stepped forward and said to Luo Yi: "King Yan, do you want to send someone to inform Master Liang and be careful? one time."
"No need." Regarding He Lanyi's suggestion, Luo Yi rejected it angrily. He waved his hand and shouted: "Master Liang and the others are so brainless and want to die, then let them do it." Go. It just so happens that you can explore the way for us."
Although Luo Yi is now in an alliance with the three anti-border kings, in the final analysis, everyone is using each other. It just so happens that Luo Yi can't figure out what Wan He is up to now, so he asked Liang Shidu and others to explore the way. Luo Yi Yi Na couldn't be more welcoming. He Lanyi's face froze when she hit a soft nail. She smiled and retreated.
This matter can only be handled this way for the time being. Before finding out what Wan He is planning, any more thoughts are redundant. Luo Yi waved his hand casually, signaling everyone to leave. And he was even more concerned. He walked straight out of the meeting hall. These things today also made him very depressed. Luo Yi now wanted to find a place to have a few drinks to relieve the depression in his heart.
And at the moment when Luo Yi stepped out of the meeting hall, a cold feeling suddenly climbed directly from Luo Yi's back spine to the back of his head. Luo Yi could not help but shiver. Luo Yi, who has experienced many battles, immediately realized that this was a reaction to being immobilized by some kind of murderous intention. Luo Yi's subconscious reaction was to pounce forward with his whole body. And at the moment Luo Yi fell down .I heard a scream coming from behind.
After Luo Yi fell to the ground, he immediately rolled on the spot. He rolled directly to the pillar on the left. He twisted his waist and stood up with his whole body leaning against the pillar. He turned his head and looked behind. He saw people discussing something. At the entrance of the hall, General He Lanyi, who had been giving him suggestions before, was half-kneeling there. However, a small dagger appeared on his chest. He Lanyi seemed to have never thought that such a thing would happen until his death. He stared. His eyes were widened. He looked at the small dagger that had been buried in his chest with a face full of disbelief. He opened his mouth wide and wanted to say something. But before he could say anything, he fell directly to the ground and lost his breath.
"There are assassins. There are assassins." After a short period of silence, the generals of the Yan Army also shouted loudly. Seeing this scene, Luo Yi, who was hiding behind the pillar, only had time to hum a "waste" sound. There was no free time anymore, because he immediately felt that the killing intent from before was targeting him again.
Immediately Luo Yi rolled on the spot again, and the strong winds almost brushed his heels. If Luo Yi had been a step later, he would have followed He Lanyi's footsteps. And there were a few more calls. The sound of shouting sounded. As soon as Luo Yica stood up, he saw several men in black rushing towards him quickly. The bright swords they held in their hands were enough to prove their identities.
Assassins. And it was obvious that these assassins were all targeting him, Luo Yi. In this very short period of time, several thoughts popped up in Luo Yi's mind. Luo Yi had countless enemies in his life. But in this At that time, there was no one else who could send assassins to kill him except Wan He. Obviously, the previous assassination by the Goguryeo people had angered Wan He. Now Wan He also sent assassins to kill him.
He had long heard that Wan He had something to do with a mysterious sect in the world. Now it seems that Wan He probably has quite a few masters like him in the world. Now Luo Yi deeply regretted that he had nothing to do to provoke Wan He. What's more, now I'm being targeted by Wanhe's people. I don't know how to deal with it.
In an instant, countless thoughts passed through Luo Yi's mind. However, his men did not stop at all. Facing the attacks of those assassins, Luo Yi stepped back without hesitation. Although Luo Yi's skills were not bad, those martial arts masters Each of his martial arts skills are very weird. In addition, there are at least a dozen of these assassins. Luo Yi alone cannot withstand the attack of so many assassins. At this time, Zhao Cihao also poked his head out from behind the door. . He shouted towards Luo Yi: "King Yan, this way. Come in quickly."
In fact, even without Zhao Cihao, Luo Yi would have rushed towards the room. Hearing Zhao Cihao's shouting, Luo Yi kicked his feet hard on the ground. His whole body was like an arrow leaving the string, heading towards the meeting hall. The gate rushed through. The movement here had already alerted the soldiers guarding the front yard. As long as you hide in the meeting hall for a while, Luo Yi's soldiers will rush over to rescue. When the time comes, those soldiers will help, even if they are assassins. There is no need to be afraid no matter how much.
And those assassins seemed to understand this truth. Just when Luo Yi rushed towards the meeting hall, those assassins also rushed towards Luo Yi at extremely fast speeds. Several of them threw their hands away and threw out a few numbers. Hidden weapons were fired at Luo Yi. The purpose of these hidden weapons was not to kill Luo Yi, but to hinder Luo Yi from entering the meeting hall. With Luo Yi's ability, it was easy to dodge these hidden weapons. .But as long as he hides, he won't have time to rush into the meeting hall.
Seeing that those hidden weapons were about to hit his body, Luo Yi did not dare to stop at his feet. Gritting his teeth, Luo Yi stretched out his hand and reached forward. He happened to catch the door in front of him that was opening for Luo Yi to greet Luo Yi. Luo Yi pulled the collar of Zhao Cihao who entered the meeting hall. Before Zhao Cihao could react, Luo Yi pulled hard and pulled the thin Zhao Cihao out of the room. He threw the hidden weapons directly behind him. It hit Zhao Cihao's chest directly without any hindrance. Zhao Cihao's body trembled for a while. Finally, his eyes widened and blood spurted from his mouth. His head tilted and he fell to the ground. And Luo Yi took advantage of this opportunity. I got through the door with my waist and closed the two doors tightly.
And those assassins obviously didn't expect Luo Yi to be so cruel. Zhao Cihao just made a special effort to defend Luo Yi's retreat. But he didn't expect that he would be used as a shield by Luo Yi in the blink of an eye. He died tragically on the spot. But those assassins were also The expert quickly recovered from the shock. He jumped up and broke the door panel and window of the conference hall. He rushed into the conference hall and continued to assassinate.
