Great Warriors of Sui and Tang Dynasties

Chapter 319 Assassination
Great cause for eight years.

October [-]th, the Lantern Festival.

Daxing City in Xijing and Luoyang, the eastern capital, are still brightly lit this year. Although the emperor is far away in Zhuojun, and a large number of nobles and senior officials from the two capitals accompany him to Hebei, this year's lights are still lively.

It's just on the far east bank of the Liao River, Xuantu City.

The young Xiangyang Marquis Luo Cheng, the vanguard general of the Great Sui Conquest against Liao, was attacked by unknown assassins in Xuantu City.

The assassins were a few Khitans, they were Hu people who had surrendered when the city was broken, and they have been helping to build the fortifications in peace these days.Then on the night of the fifteenth day, they suddenly sneaked into Luo Cheng's general's mansion in the city in a group.

This group of Khitans were agile and armed with knives and crossbows. When Luo Cheng routinely went out of the mansion after dinner to inspect the defense of the city, they suddenly mobilized.

Undaunted by death, they launched a suicide attack. These people didn't even think about getting out.

Luo Cheng's guards responded quickly.

After sacrificing seven of his personal soldiers, only three of the Khitans were dead, and they were also covered in blood. They still refused to retreat, but rushed to Luo Cheng with all their strength.

Then, the three wounded assassins were shot by Luo Cheng himself. He pulled out the Shangfang Zhanma Sword he was wearing, swung the sword continuously, and the three bladed palms of the three wounded assassins were cut off.

The assassin was captured.

Unexpectedly, these captured assassins quickly bit off the poison sac in their mouths and committed suicide.

Facing the seventeen Khitan corpses, Luo Cheng's face was very dark.

After hearing the news, Luo Cunxiao, the fourth brother who rushed over, inspected the Khitan corpses in person, then turned around and went to the Khitan camp. With an order, the soldiers of the brigade drove thousands of Khitan people together.

Some of these Khitan people are Khitan people who have already become Goguryeo people, and some are Khitan Hu merchants who are still Khitan people.

"Throw the body over here!"

The fourth child snorted coldly.

Immediately a group of soldiers dragged the seventeen Khitan corpses over and threw them in front of the thousand Khitans.

"Insert it on the stake and let them recognize it."

The corpses were put on pickets and raised up.

A large group of Khitan people looked at these bald-haired people, all panicked.

"Do you know anyone?" Luo Cunxiao asked.

no answer.

Luo Cunxiao laughed a few times, "I don't believe it, no one knows these seventeen people." After finishing speaking, the fourth child randomly clicked in the crowd, and every time he clicked, some soldiers rushed in and dragged them out.

"Let me ask you one more question, do you know these dead people?"

Still no answer.

Luo Cunxiao waved his hand, and the sword flashed.

The seventeen Khitans who were dragged out just now have all become ghosts under the knife.

"I'm in a bad mood now. Those seventeen dead people wanted to assassinate my brother. Although they failed, I was very angry. I want to kill people now. If you don't answer me, then I will continue to kill. Seventeen at a time, Kill until all of you are gone." He waved his hands again, and the government soldiers rushed into the crowd again, dragged out another seventeen, and then hacked wildly, and seventeen were gone.

He went back and changed his clothes, and Luo Cheng, who had changed the clothes splashed with the blood of the Khitan killer, rushed over after hearing the news.

He glanced at the trembling Khitan people.

"Fourth, stop."

Luo Cunxiao looked at those people coldly, "These damn Khitan people should be killed."

"It's useless to kill them all." Luo Cheng shook his head. "Although those assassins are Khitans, these Khitans may not know them. What's the use of killing them all?"

"They're all Khitan people, how could no one know them." The fourth child didn't want to stop.

But Luo Cheng looked at the appearance of the Khitan people, but he already guessed some of the truth.

"You said that the Khitans were not assassinated on the orders of the Goguryeos, but whose orders were they?"

In the general's mansion, the fourth child was puzzled.

Wei Zheng said with a smile, "Fourth general, do you think no one wants General Luo's life except the Goguryeo people?"

"Besides the Goguryeo people? Who else?"

The youngest Siye raised his eyebrows, "Could it be that those Khitan killers were ordered by people behind us?"

"What is impossible?"

"But these people are Khitans."

"So what, with some people's abilities and character, I wouldn't find it strange even if they bribed a team of Goguryeo people to assassinate General Luo."

"Yu Wenhuaji!" The fourth child roared angrily, "Bastard bastard, stabbed in the back."

Luo Cheng did not deny Wei Zheng's conjecture. In fact, after the fourth brother murdered just now, no Khitan people confessed to knowing these killers. Luo Cheng had already suspected Yu Wenhuaji himself.

He knew how deeply he had offended Yu Wenhuaji. In order to save his own life, this bastard dandy helped him get promoted and let him cross the river and enter Liao alone.

Now he was beyond Yu Wenhuaji's expectation, but won a big victory and captured Xuantu City. I'm afraid that after Yu Wenhuaji knew the news, he would be so bored that he couldn't sleep or eat.

He didn't come here to help him get promoted, he wanted to borrow a knife to kill someone, now that he lost his wife and lost his army, how could he be reconciled.

It's not surprising that he would use Luo Cheng in this kind of method.

"Fifth, let's not guard this ghost Xuantu city anymore, let's go back to the west bank of the Liao River and directly light the sky lanterns on Yu Wenhuaji."

'Is there any proof? "Luo Cheng asked the fourth child, "You can see how difficult it is just by looking at the ruthlessness of those Khitan people.They didn't leave any clues, so we can't blame Yu Huaji at all. "

"Then let's also send someone to assassinate him, and treat him in his own way."

Luo Cheng still shook his head.

"With Yu Wenhua and his petty nature, how can he be unprepared when he uses such shady means to deal with us? Maybe he has already set up his net and waited for us to do this. What if the time comes? If we can catch one or two of our brothers, then our brothers will be defeated by him, and who can protect us then?"

"Then let's leave it at that?"

"Of course it can't be counted. This account is written down. It's not that we didn't report it, but it's just that the time has not come. Let the brothers strengthen their vigilance and be careful. Now we not only have to be careful to guard against the Goguryeo army that appears at any time, but also have to shoot from behind when we are young. It’s a cold shot and a dark arrow.”

"What's the point of being careful?"

The fourth child was still dissatisfied. With his temperament, since he was stabbed with a knife, he must be stabbed back, and he had to be stabbed twice.

"Old man, if you want to overturn the table, you must first have the strength to overturn the table. When you don't have enough strength to overturn the table, you have to suppress your anger first. Let's just know what's in mind now, and keep the city of Xuantu, After this battle is over, we will go back and forth with Yuwenhua and settle this account slowly, believe me, there will always be a chance." Luo Cheng gritted his teeth and said, he has never been a person who is afraid of trouble, but not being afraid of trouble does not mean recklessness.

Wei Zheng looked at Luo Cheng with admiration, and felt that this young general was really calm and terrifying, Yu Wenhuaji really lost his mind to find such an opponent.

"Old man, what are you laughing at?"

"The old Taoist feels that there is no need to wait for revenge. In fact, the general does not need to underestimate himself too much now. Luo Yi, Li Jing, and Song Laosheng are all the general's backup. Why don't the general treat him in the same way? Please Several generals wrote to the emperor, saying that now that the vanguard army has captured Xuantu, in order to defend the position on the east bank of the Liao River, the emperor asked the emperor to send general Yu Wenhuaji of Tongding Town to lead troops across the river to receive reinforcements?"

Luo Cheng couldn't help but smile when he heard that, Yu Wenhuaji might be General Zuo Tunwei, General of Tongding Town, Liaodong County Lieutenant, but no one knows how much water is in it. To pit him, he can't stand the Goguryeo people.

It's good to borrow the hand of the Goguryeo people, and also to borrow a knife to kill people.

"Okay, then Lao Wei Jishi will write a letter to several generals for me, asking them to brag about Mr. Yuwen, so that the emperor can send this General Zuo Tunwei to reinforce us!"

Everyone in the tent burst into laughter, and everyone looked forward to it.

"Old Daoist Wei is still insidious, damn it, you don't need a knife to kill, and you don't see blood when you kill." The fourth child praised.

Wei Zheng rolled his eyes, what words came to the mouth of the fourth child, why are they so unpleasant.
