Great Tang Dynasty

Chapter 486 Seeking Support
Tang army camp.

The siege fell short, and the morale of the Tang army was very low at this time.

In the big tent, Cheng Yaojin's eyebrows were fixed, his eyes were sharp, as if carrying a murderous look.

"His grandma, I'm really pissed off. He was about to succeed in attacking the city, but he failed like this. What's going on? Isn't there only [-] soldiers left in Mengzhou city? Five thousand more?"

It was the spies' fault that the news was wrong, and in war news is always the most important factor.

Cheng Yaojin cursed angrily, but Qin Tian sat in the barracks, looking very calm.

They made a mistake in attacking the city this time, but what he was most worried about was not this, but that now that there were so many rebel soldiers, their plan to quickly capture Mengzhou City would come to naught.

This is the most terrible thing, and they don't have a lot of time these days.

Many vassal kings are watching. If Mengzhou City is not captured quickly, the Tang Dynasty may fall into chaos.

The autumn wind was blowing outside, Qin Tian didn't say a word, when Cheng Yaojin was about to scold, seeing that Qin Tian didn't say a word, he frowned and said: "Xiao Tian, ​​what do you say now? Bar?"

The siege of the city will definitely be impossible, and with the previous events, it may be impossible to lure the rebels out of the city.

Now, the two sides are at an impasse.

Of course, the most terrible thing is that there don't seem to be many refugee rebels in the city, so what they said before about giving the land is not so attractive anymore.

They lost even their most important weapon.

Now Cheng Yaojin can be said to be helpless.

Qin Tian slightly raised his head and glanced at Cheng Yaojin, then stood up and said, "With our current strength, the cost of capturing Mengzhou City is too high, and we may not even be able to capture Mengzhou City. The only way is to ask for help."

"Ask for help?" Cheng Yaojin said: "Who do you ask for help? Now other feudal lords are probably staring at this place. It's no wonder they are willing to help send troops."

Qin Tian smiled slightly: "Li Luo, King of Wings in Huaizhou, maybe you can ask him for troops."

"What?" Cheng Yaojin was stunned for a moment. He didn't have a lot of impressions of this Wing King Li Luo. He has been very low-key all along, making it impossible for people to see what kind of person he is.

Cheng Yaojin doesn't think such a person is easy to persuade.

"What on earth are you thinking?" Cheng Yaojin looked at Qin Tian and asked again, Qin Tian smiled strangely: "Don't worry about it, I will go to Huaizhou City with Hu Shiba soon, here, just trouble Duke Lu is guarding the city, as long as we don't attack the city, the rebels will not dare to go out to fight if they want to come, Duke Lu just needs to confront them and wait for me to come back."

Qin Tian decided to go to Huaizhou, and Cheng Yaojin saw that he had made a decision, so he didn't say anything more, saying: "Be careful when you go, these vassal kings are not a fuel-efficient lamp, if they are not willing to send troops to help, don't follow them They are wasting too much time, just come back immediately."

He didn't want anything to happen to Qin Tian. Here Qin Tian nodded, "Don't worry, I will definitely invite King Huai's soldiers and horses to kill the enemy. As long as King Huai's soldiers and horses come, they will destroy Mengzhou City." , as easy as flipping the palm of your hand."

King Huai had a lot of soldiers and horses, and if he attacked from the two city gates, it would be easy to succeed, Cheng Yaojin suddenly had a glimmer of hope in his heart.

Soon, after making preparations, Qin Tian and Hu 18 rode fast horses towards Huaizhou.

The two hurried on, and it took about four days to travel from Mengzhou to Huaizhou.
-
Autumn is getting deeper, and the weather in Huaizhou is getting colder and colder.

This morning, Qin Tian and Hu 18 came to Huaizhou City. Because they left in secret, they didn't encounter any trouble along the way.

Entering Huaizhou City, it is relatively prosperous here, and although it is very close to the Yellow River, it has not been affected much by the flood.

After the two entered Huaizhou City, they didn't stay much, and went directly to Huaiwang Mansion.

After submitting the name post, the two began to wait.

After receiving the name card, the servants of Prince Huai's Mansion hurried to Li Luo's study without stopping.

"My lord, my lord, Qin Tian asks to see you."

"What?" Li Luo suddenly stood up from the chair. His shock was even more shocking than the destruction of Mengzhou City. He never expected that Qin Tian would come looking for him.

"Qin Tian is asking to see you, and he is waiting in the palace now, lord, do you see it or not?"

The servants asked, Li Luo said: "See, of course I want to see you, Qin Tian sent him to the door himself, I don't know how to do it, lead him to the living room."

The servants took orders to retreat, and not long after, they led Qin Tian and Hu 18 to the living room, and just as the two of them sat down in the living room, Li Luo had already walked in.

"My lord." Qin Tian hurriedly saluted, Li Luo nodded, and said, "Go ahead, I heard that Qin Houye was suppressing traitors in Mengzhou City, how come you have time to come to this king's fief?"

Li Luo asked straightforwardly, and Qin Tian didn't make any detours, and said, "To be honest, the rebel army is too powerful, and the Marquis's troops will not be able to attack Mengzhou City for a while. It is because of Huaizhou that I want to seek help from the prince. A little help."

Hearing this, Li Luo was secretly happy, but on the surface he showed a little worry, and said, "The rebels are so powerful that even the Marquis of Qin can't do anything about them?"

"It's not impossible, it's just that there are too few troops. If the city is forcibly attacked, the damage will be too great. I think that the prince's fief is the closest to Mengzhou City. If the prince is willing to send troops to help, it is naturally excellent. To destroy the rebels, It's much easier."

Qin Tian explained the purpose of this trip, and then slightly raised his head to look at Li Luo. After hearing his request, Li Luo frowned slightly, and reached out to touch his chin.

"I do have some soldiers and horses under my command, but it's just that these soldiers and horses left the fief without the order of the Holy Majesty, isn't it inappropriate?"

The imperial court has always had strict control over soldiers and horses. Although the vassal kings of various places have soldiers and horses in their hands, they cannot leave the fief without an order from the imperial court.

There is nothing wrong with Li Luo saying this now.

However, Qin Tian did not give up, and said: "My lord, that's what I said, but if you can send troops to put down the rebellion, it will be a great achievement. Not only will the sage not blame you, but he will also reward you more. And at this time, As long as the prince agrees, I will send someone to write a memorial and send it to the capital immediately for the approval of the Holy Majesty, how about it?"

Qin Tian was quite reluctant, Li Luo hesitated again when he heard this, but he didn't hesitate for too long, and soon asked again: "Mr. Qin, the rebels are powerful, and it is not easy to destroy them." , I don’t know if you asked me to send troops, but what’s the plan to destroy the enemy?”

Faced with Qin Tian's invitation, Li Luo naturally couldn't easily agree, and he didn't even think about agreeing.
