Great Tang Dynasty

Chapter 742 Hurry up and invite the Turks

The news of Baozhou City's collapse soon spread to Youzhou City.

"My lord, the city of Baozhou was destroyed, the son... the son was killed by Qin Tian."

The spy told the news, and when Luo Yi heard the news, he couldn't help but take a step back.

"What, the crown prince was killed, how...how is this possible?"

Luo Yi was very distressed. Although Luo Buping was not his biological son, he was similar, but Luo Buping was killed just like that.

How is this possible?
As long as you stick to the city gate and don't come out, more than 2 soldiers and horses will definitely be able to resist the Tang army, but it should be no problem to resist for a few months, but how long is it, less than half a month.

In terms of siege, it only took two or three days.

He lost Baozhou City in two or three days, and he didn't believe anything he said.

Luo Yi's expression was very painful, and the spies told him about the situation again.

"The son refused to listen to the persuasion, and was enraged by Qin Tian. He went out of the city to fight the Tang army, and lost half of his soldiers and horses. Later, the Tang army attacked the city again and was captured..."

The spy murmured the details, and Luo Yi became even more heartbroken after hearing this.

"Don't give up on me, don't give up on me..."

Luo Yi shouted a few times, then suddenly became gloomy again, and ordered: "Go and call Mr. Zhuge and the others."

Now that the Tang army has breached Baozhou City, they will definitely come to Youzhou City within a month. They must be prepared.

Not long after, Zhuge Wen, Luo Han and others rushed over, and when they arrived, they had already learned the news that Baozhou City had been broken.

"My lord, my condolences."

Zhuge Wen was the first to speak. He still knew the father-son relationship between Luo Yi and Luo Buping very well, so he knew that Luo Yi was very sad now.

However, Luo Yi is obviously much stronger than he imagined, or in other words, hatred and a sense of crisis make him not care too much about the relationship between father and son.

"Mr. Zhuge, now that Baozhou City is broken, the Tang army will attack soon. What should we do next?"

Zhuge Wendao: "My lord, the top priority is to send them the money, food, and grass that the Turks want, and ask the Turks to send troops to help. After all, we only have more than 4 soldiers and horses left. The other thing is to do a good job in the defense of Youzhou. , as long as they fight to the death with the Tang army, they will not be able to capture Youzhou City, so they will naturally choose to compromise with the prince."

Luo Yi nodded, this is indeed the most important thing they should do now.

"Is there any news from other princes?"

"My lord, the other vassal kings didn't make any movement, so they didn't dare to jump out."

This result was a bit unexpected, but at the same time, it seemed to have been expected. The Tang Dynasty was also famous for being a teacher. How dare other vassal kings cause trouble?

Moreover, there are still 10,000+ soldiers in Chang'an City today, and no one has the confidence to say that they can touch Li Shimin. Now that Li Shimin has not touched their interests, it is too difficult to let them stand out.

Luo Yi sighed secretly, and had no choice but to give up. Fortunately, he had Turk as an ally.

After discussing in detail with Zhuge Wen and others, Luo Yi sent people to send food, grass, money and so on to the Turks.

After that, they just waited for the Turks to send troops to help.
-
On Qin Tian's side, after breaking through Baozhou City, they stayed here for four or five days.

For one thing, after a great battle, their soldiers needed to rest and the injured needed medical treatment, so it was really inappropriate to continue on their way immediately.

Another thing is that the people in Baozhou City need to be appeased.

Luo Yi's achievements in his own fiefdom are actually pretty good, at least there aren't many common people, many people are more loyal to him, although many people don't really care whose subjects they are, but after capturing Baozhou City, they should be appeased, Still need to appease.

It must be ensured that these people feel secure that there will be no rebellion.

In this way, they can continue to attack Youzhou with peace of mind, otherwise Baozhou will be unstable, and they will be cut off.

Of course, the last point is that those Yan soldiers who have been subdued must be trained well, so that they will not suddenly turn to Luo Yi when a war breaks out.

This is not difficult for some generals in the army.

Why did the soldiers charge desperately when they knew they would die when they attacked the city? In fact, the big reason was that they had been brainwashed.

Brainwashed by the idea of ​​country and family.

It doesn't sound good, but that's how it works sometimes.

After staying in Baozhou City for four or five days, Qin Tian and the others finally left and headed towards Youzhou City.

On the way, we will naturally encounter resistance from some small counties, but there are not many troops in these counties at all, so the Tang army came all the way, it can be said that they saw the city and pulled the city.

Even some counties surrendered voluntarily.

However, Xiao was like this, and it took them a month to finally reach the border of Youzhou.

And at this time, it was late spring and early summer.

The weather was getting hotter. After the Tang army arrived, they did not rush to attack the city, but set up camp five miles outside Youzhou City.

At the same time, in Youzhou City, Luo Yi had received news and summoned Zhuge Wen and others again.

"Tang Jun has come, is there any news from Turkic?"

"My lord, I have already sent people to inquire. Najieli Khan said that he is gathering troops, and he should be able to arrive in half a month."

That is to say, as long as they can stop Tang Jun for half a month, the siege of Youzhou City can basically be solved. Luo Yi nodded, and then continued to ask: "Tang Jun is here, we just need to stick to it, but Tang Jun's The siege equipment is also very powerful, we should not be careless, now that the Tang army has just arrived, this king wants to attack the Tang camp at night, what do you think?"

Taking advantage of the arrival of Tang Jun, it is a very good idea to raid Tang Ying.

After Luo Yi finished speaking, Luo Han immediately said: "Father, it's good to attack the Tang camp at night. They must be resting after a long journey. Although the night attack is not enough to repel them, it is also good to let them suffer a little bit." of."

As Luo Yi's number one general, Luo Han couldn't help but want to fight Tang Jun, but after he finished speaking, Zhuge Wen said: "My lord, I'm afraid it's not the right time to attack the camp."

"Mr. Zhuge, the Tang army is not stable, why is it not the right time?" Luo Han didn't care.

"When the Tang army first arrived, they may have been more cautious in their precautions. If so, the effect of our attack on the camp would not be good."

"Not necessarily."

Luo Han couldn't understand Zhuge Wen's cautious attitude. He felt that if Tang Jun didn't take too strict precautions, he would miss this opportunity, and there would be no more in the future.

Tang Jun, he may be exhausted now.

The two people had different views, so they both looked at Luo Yi. Luo Yi thought for a moment, and then said, "Luo Han, tonight you bring a troop to raid the Tang camp, but be careful, if you find something wrong, come back immediately."
