Chapter Seven hundred and forty third: Each has a different heart
Although Luo Yi has obviously become the commander-in-chief of the coalition forces that are going south to attack Wanhe, it is obviously not that simple to convince the rebellious three rebel kings at the border, especially Liu Wuzhou, the rebel who once dominated one side. Wang has always been ambitious. How could he be willing to let Luo Yi climb on his head?
After hearing Luo Yi's words, Gao Manzheng took a step forward and said to Liu Wuzhou: "Your Majesty, Luo Yi is nothing but a green onion. He wants to make your Majesty work for him. Your Majesty, brothers are not afraid of death. , but the problem is that the brothers are not willing to die for Luo Yi. Your Majesty, we cannot listen to Luo Yi’s mercy."
When Gao Manzheng said this, Liu Wuzhou, who was already full of anger, completely exploded. Liu Wuzhou just snorted coldly, rode his horse and walked a few steps in the direction of Luo Yi's army, and then glared fiercely in that direction. , yelled angrily: "Little Luo Yi, you didn't even know you were lying on that bitch's belly when I rebelled against the Sui Dynasty, and now you dare to be rude to me,"
Seeing Liu Wuzhou's anger erupting, Gao Manzheng also looked happy. After hearing what the envoy sent by Luo Yi said before, Gao Manzheng realized that if he really wanted to do this, as a general under Liu Wuzhou, he might suffer a lot of risks. , Gao Manzheng was originally just a gangster in the market. Later, he became a moderate general by bribing Sui officials. Later, he betrayed the Sui Dynasty and became a general under Liu Wuzhou. Therefore, Gao Manzheng This man was not that courageous. He only wanted to be a high-ranking official and enjoy a good life, but he never thought about fighting and fighting to the death. That's why he came up with the idea to prevent Liu Wuzhou from fulfilling Luo Yi's orders. Once this happens, there will be no need for him to fight or kill.
"Your Majesty, think twice." Seeing that Liu Wuzhou was about to fall out with Luo Yi, at this time, another voice sounded, but it was one of the only civil servants under Liu Wuzhou, Yuan Junzhang, Yuan Junzhang himself He was a Yuanwailang and had been educated for several years. Later, Liu Wuzhou rebelled and heard about Yuan Junzhang's reputation. He deliberately invited him out of the mountain, half forcefully and half on the spot, and married his sister to Yuan Junzhang. Junzhang saw that Liu Wuzhou was treating him politely, and finally he pledged his allegiance to Liu Wuzhou. Yuan Junzhang stepped forward and bowed his hands to Liu Wuzhou and said: "Your Majesty joined forces with Luo Yi this time, but he followed the arrangements of the Turks. If In the past, when the king was so powerful that he conquered the state and dominated Taiyuan, there was no need to listen to the Turks. But it is different now. If the king goes against the wishes of the Turks, it will be a big disadvantage to the king's plan to make a comeback. ,"
Yuan Junzhang's words were cryptic, but Liu Wuzhou was not a fool. He understood immediately. Liu Wuzhou also relied on Turkic talents to make his fortune and became the overlord of the party. Now that Li Shimin has brought him back to his original form, Liu Wuzhou once again sets his sights on The Turks wanted to let the Turks help him make a comeback, and it just so happened that the Turks wanted to get Luo Yi and the three anti-kings of the Border Gate to raise troops to deal with Wan He. That's why they took this action. If Liu Wuzhou and Luo Yi fell out , if this happened to the Turks, I am afraid that the Turks would not be so easy to talk to. Maybe Liu Wuzhou would have to bear the attack from the Turks. By then, Liu Wuzhou would really be out of luck.
"Your Majesty," Seeing that he had finally persuaded Liu Wuzhou to be tempted, but was ruined by Yuan Junzhang's few words, Gao Manzheng became anxious and glared at Yuan Junzhang, but the other party was Liu Wuzhou's brother-in-law, and he did not If he dared to offend the other party too much, he could only shout to Liu Wuzhou: "Even if we have to deal with Wan He, in the end, it should be led by King Liang. How can we get Luo Yi in his turn? We were also defeated by Luo Yi in the past." I was deceived. I really thought he had 50,000 elite soldiers, but I didn’t expect that they were just 50,000 new recruits. If he really wanted to die and use them as a shield, he should have let those new soldiers go as a shield. How can we use veterans as a shield?"
Hearing what Gao Manzheng said, Liu Wuzhou hesitated again. It had to be said that Liu Wuzhou's subordinates were really weak. Even Yuan Junzhang was just a white-faced scholar. In the past, Liu Wuzhou was able to build such a large territory. It was not Liu Wuzhou himself, but Liu Wuzhou's former first general, Song Jingang. It can be said that without Song Jingang, there would be no Liu Wuzhou who unified Bingzhou. Now that Song Jingang died, Liu Wuzhou has completely sunk. Now Liu Wuzhou simply has no power. He didn't know who to listen to. Faced with the two different suggestions from Yuan Junzhang and Gao Manzheng, Liu Wuzhou's head got big.
"Your Majesty, look," at this moment, another lieutenant shouted, pointing in the direction of Luo Yi's army, and shouted to Liu Wuzhou: "Luo Yi's army has already started to move, and there is fighting going on over there. The flag signals us to take action,"
"What a waste of action," Gao Manzheng jumped to his feet, then turned his head and cupped his fists at Liu Wuzhou and shouted: "Your Majesty, brothers would rather die under your Majesty's sword than follow Luo Yi and be sent by Luo Yi Go and die. Your Majesty, why not kill the general now? The general is willing to die."
After saying that, Gao Manzheng knelt on the ground, closed his eyes, and stretched his neck towards Liu Wuzhou, as if he was letting Liu Wuzhou take action. In fact, Gao Manzheng was convinced that Liu Wuzhou would not take action. In this way, he could force Liu Wuzhou to do something. Liu Wuzhou made up his mind. Although Gao Man could not succeed in political affairs and military affairs, he was quite capable of intrigues and understanding people's hearts.
Sure enough, seeing Gao Manzheng's appearance, Liu Wuzhou's face once again showed a heart-beating expression, and then Yuan Junzhang also saw that it was impossible to persuade Liu Wuzhou to send troops. He sighed secretly, Yuan Junzhang Then he said to Liu Wuzhou: "Your Majesty, my subordinates have an idea. We might as well pretend to send troops to cross the river, but the speed of crossing the river should be as slow as possible. Let Luo Yi's troops rush in front, and we will follow behind. Wait until Luo Yi We have fought with Wan He's soldiers and horses, and we attack Wan He's army again. In this way, Luo Yi's soldiers and horses will be lost, but the great success will be achieved by the king. Isn't it wonderful?"
Hearing what Yuan Junzhang said, Liu Wuzhou's eyes immediately lit up. This kind of thing that harms others and benefits oneself is Liu Wuzhou's favorite thing to do. Liu Wuzhou immediately nodded repeatedly and said: "Brilliant plan, brilliant plan, it is indeed a brilliant plan, Jun." Zhang, just follow your clever plan,"
Seeing that Liu Wuzhou was willing to agree with his advice, Yuan Junzhang couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief. In any case, at least his goal of attacking Wanhe was not delayed. At least Liu Wuzhou could make sense when he saw the Turks. Then Liu Wuzhou was He waved the riding crop in his hand and shouted: "Go down and cross the river with the order,"
After Liu Wuzhou gave this order, Gao Manzheng had to obey Liu Wuzhou's order even though he was full of grievances. Fortunately, Liu Wuzhou's plan was not bad, at least the risk he had to take was much less. Gao Manzheng immediately also immediately Turning the horse's head, he commanded the soldiers and horses to start preparing to cross the river.
Everything was just as Yuan Junzhang planned. No matter how slow the march of Luo Yi's army was, the soldiers and horses led by Liu Wuzhou followed Luo Yi's army closely, just like a shy child, unable to live or die. Although Luo Yi, who was among Luo Yi's army, could see the opponent's intentions, Liu Wuzhou was so shameless, and Luo Yi had nothing to do with him, so he simply continued to move towards the west bank.
In order to defeat Wanhe this time, Luo Yi and others were naturally very well prepared. There were countless ships docked on the east coast. Luo Yi's army and Liu Wuzhou's army combined had nearly 70,000 people, and they actually boarded the ferry in one go. , began to march towards the west bank, and before that, Liang Shidu's troops retreated to the west as quickly as possible according to Luo Yi's order. For Liang Shidu, this would further reduce his Of course he would be happy to lose money.
Soon, Luo Yi's army and Liu Wuzhou's army had reached the middle of the Jishui River. It wouldn't take long before they could reach the west bank. What surprised Luo Yi was that Liang Jun on the west bank not only did not stop them. When the troops and horses of the two parties approached the shore, they slapped their butts and retreated hundreds of steps. It seemed that they were deliberately creating conditions for Luo Yi and Liu Wuzhou's troops to land.
Seeing Liang Jun's actions, both Luo Yi and Liu Wuzhou were confused. In any case, they decided to wait until they reached the west bank as soon as possible. Immediately, the entire Jishui River was densely covered with various kinds of people. Boats of all kinds almost covered the water.
When they were about to land on the west bank, Liang Jun still had no intention of stepping forward. Instead, he stepped back more than a hundred steps. Luo Yi, who was at the front, squinted at Liang Jun on the bank, but why? He couldn't think of a reason for this, and finally Luo Yi gritted his teeth and shouted: "Ignore him, just get to the shore, set up your formation as soon as you get to the shore, and be ready to fight at all times."
"Oh,,," Hearing Luo Yi's words, the officers and soldiers of the Yan Army on the ship all shouted angrily. For a time, the morale of this army composed of new recruits was greatly boosted. Even if they faced the Liang Army, there was still a The power of war, and at this moment, the general Yang Qi next to Luo Yi suddenly looked suspicious, looked upstream of Jishui, and seemed to be talking to himself: "What kind of strange noise is this? Why?" It's getting louder and louder,"
"What did you say?" Luo Yi heard Yang Qian behind him muttering, and subconsciously turned his head, glanced at Yang Qian, and asked, and Yang Qian was immediately ready to answer, but his mouth just The moment he opened it, he could no longer close it. His eyes widened and he pointed in the upstream direction with a look of horror on his face.
