Great Tang Dynasty

Chapter 490 Li Luo's Choice
It was already dusk when we returned to the barracks.

The dusk of late autumn has brought a little bit of coolness, and even the dew has begun to appear.

After Qin Tian came back, Cheng Yaojin ran over excitedly.

"Your scheme is really powerful. Now the rebels only have [-] soldiers left, so there is nothing to be afraid of."

Four thousand soldiers and horses are not many, but they are not many. They can defend the city for a while, but for Qin Tian and the others, the battle last night gave them some time.

The great victory in that battle will deter many feudal lords who are about to make a move, making them dare not act rashly.

When they have time, they can have fun with Li Yiyu from Mengzhou City.

However, Qin Tian was not prepared to delay for too long for Li Yiyu and the others.

Winter is coming soon, the food problem of the people in the disaster area has not been completely solved, and they will soon face severe cold again, if these problems cannot be solved as soon as possible, then even if Li Yiyu's rebel army is wiped out, there will be more The appearance of the rebel army was not what Qin Tian wanted to see.

"What Lu Guogong said is very true, but the most urgent thing is to send someone to send another letter to Li Luo, urging him to lead the troops to come to support, and attack us back and forth, and take down Mengzhou City."

Cheng Yaojin was excited, but when he heard such a sentence suddenly, he was stunned.

"Aren't you joking? Then Li Luoming is with the rebels. You asked him to attack Mengzhou City. What do you think?"

Regarding Qin Tian's words, Cheng Yaojin was a little skeptical about life.

Qin Tian shrugged his shoulders: "Don't worry, Duke Lu. Even if Li Luo is with the rebels, the rebels can't get up and they are just dying. If he wants to save his life, he will still choose to cooperate with us." .”

Speaking of this, Qin Tian smiled: "Besides, now is not a good time to get rid of Li Luo. In this case, it's better to pretend to be deaf and dumb, and then use him."

Cheng Yaojin looked at Qin Tian, ​​and gradually understood the meaning of Qin Tian's words.

Now that Li Shimin has just ascended the throne, if he takes action against Li Luo, the feudal lord, I'm afraid the other feudal lords will misunderstand and think that Li Shimin wants to cut down the feudal lord.

If the vassal king thought that Li Shimin was going to cut down the vassal, how could they, who were already ready to make a move, just sit and wait for death?

At that time, the entire Tang Dynasty may be in chaos.

Therefore, even if they knew that Li Luo had something to do with the rebels, they had to pretend not to know. Moreover, if Li Luoken sent troops, it would be easier for them to capture Mengzhou City.

Cheng Yaojin suddenly burst out laughing, and then slapped Qin Tian on the shoulder: "You are still smart, okay, I will do as you said, send someone to Li Luo to send a letter, urging him to send troops to help. "

After Cheng Yaojin finished speaking, he quickly sent messengers to Huaizhou City.

Before Li Luo's soldiers arrived, they would not use troops against Mengzhou City for the time being. Anyway, they had deterred other feudal lords. Now they have time to wait to minimize casualties.
-
There was an autumn rain in Huaizhou.

The autumn rain was falling, making the whole Huaizhou surprisingly cold.

Li Luo has been waiting for news in the palace, it is still the study, the rain outside is like a painting, misty and hazy.

At this time, a spy hurried over: "My lord, something is wrong."

Hearing this, Li Luo's expression froze slightly, and he shouted, "What's going on?"

"Being duped by Qin Tian, ​​he never transferred five thousand soldiers from the barracks. He set up an ambush at Fenglin night. When Li Yiyu made a surprise attack that night, those five thousand soldiers drove back and killed Li Yiyu in a big defeat. Now Li Yiyu only has four thousand troops left..."

The spy told the situation, and when Li Luo heard it, he suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood, and then he was about to collapse on the chair.

He thought his plan was flawless, but he didn't expect that they were all plotted by Qin Tian, ​​and what made him feel even more distressed was that Li Yiyu's soldiers and horses were mostly lost.

More than half of the soldiers and horses were all his soldiers, so they disappeared like this, and his loss was too great.

"Damn, hate, Qin Tian, ​​this king is incompatible with you..."

It's useless to hate, because he ordered all of this, so even if he wanted to punish Li Yiyu, he couldn't.

But at this time, Li Luo regretted a little, regretted not leading the troops to Fenglin Wan, originally, he thought this was just a game, and it was useless to go by himself, anyway, once Cheng Yaojin died, the other feudal lords would act immediately, I might as well wait for the news in Huaizhou, and then raise troops.

But if he knew that Tang Jun hadn't gone to Fenglinwan at all, then he would have to take his five thousand soldiers and horses and kill Qin Tian who had gone to Fenglinwan as a bait.

Unfortunately, the opportunity has been lost.

Li Luo walked back and forth in the study room. Now, not only the strength of the rebel army has weakened, but he seems to have been exposed. What should he do next, continue to endure, or keep doing nothing and lead the rebellion?

Li Yiyu still has four thousand soldiers and horses, and he has five thousand soldiers in his hand. Together, he has nine thousand soldiers and horses. Maybe he can fight Qin Tian.

But if he rebels, he has no certainty of victory, and after jumping out, he has no arrows to turn back.

The rain did not know when it stopped, but at dusk that day, a servant rushed to report: "My lord, Qin Tian's messenger has arrived."

Hearing Qin Tian's messenger came, Li Luo was a little surprised. It's already this time, why did Qin Tian send the messenger?
"Lead him in."

Not long after, a messenger came and delivered a letter: "My lord, this is a letter sent by my Lord Hou. Now that most of the rebels have been eliminated, my Lord Hou hopes that the Lord can send troops to support you as soon as possible." , and captured Mengzhou City."

Li Luo read the letter, and there was nothing in the letter about the relationship between the rebels and himself, or about Feng Linwan. Not only that, but he also said that if he could raise an army and break through Mengzhou City, he, Qin Tian, ​​would definitely ask for help for him. achievement.

After reading the letter, Li Luo frowned slightly, not knowing what Qin Tian meant. Since he knew that he had something to do with the rebels, why didn't he do anything, and he tried his best to win him over?
Could it be that he wanted to take action against himself, the feudal lord, after getting rid of the rebels?

Li Luo thought it was unlikely, but he soon realized the problem. He was a feudal lord, and Li Shimin had just ascended the throne not long ago. If they dared to attack the feudal lord, could the other feudal lords sit idly by?

I'm afraid that some feudal lord will jump out and rebel immediately.

Now that Qin Tian chooses to forbear, then he will make a move, or not.

Now that I am safe, I don’t have to worry about the imperial court taking action against me for the time being, but there are only four thousand rebels left, and obviously it won’t be long before I jump around. If I don’t take action, after Qin Tian captures Mengzhou City, I’m afraid Qin Tian will be much more ruthless. .

If he made a move himself, maybe he could keep people like Li Yiyu, and at that time, Li Yiyu could be used by him again.

"Go back and tell Lord Qin Hou that the king will immediately lead the army and go to Mengzhou City to defeat the enemy."
