Great Warriors of Sui and Tang Dynasties

Chapter 445 Eighteen Ways Against the King

The moon is dark and the wind is high.

Lujiaoguan is in the south of Pingyuan County, which is separated from Qi County by a river.

Regardless of the cold and windy, General Liu Zhen dressed neatly and led his team to the ferry to meet him. At some point, a pontoon bridge had already been erected on the Yellow River.

In the darkness, a little bit of fire light meanders, like a fire dragon.

This fire dragon came to the north bank through the pontoon bridge. All of them were tall and powerful, and all of them were armored and sharp. The well-equipped ones made General Liu envy.

"General Liu Zhen, we meet again."

"The last general pays his respects to Luo Shuai." Seeing that the person who greeted him was actually the famous young man, Liu Zhen got off his horse in a hurry to meet him.

"Old Liu, we are old friends now, so we don't need to be so polite."

Liu Zhenjiang looked at Luo Cheng quietly, and since he hadn't seen him for more than two years, Luo Cheng seemed to have become a stranger.People are still so domineering, but they used to think that half of that domineering was arrogance, but now they only feel that this domineering is all self-confidence exuded from the inside out.

"The [-] town soldiers at Lujiao Pass have all assembled and are ready to listen to Hou Luoshuai's orders at any time."

Old Liu didn't know why Luo Cheng, the Henan consolation and arrest ambassador, was crossing the Yellow River, but since Luo Cheng sent someone to say that he was going to lead the army to cross the river, he didn't dare to stop him.

Although according to the regulations, Luo Cheng led troops across the Yellow River, that was crossing the border and arbitrarily using soldiers and horses.But who knows that Luo Cheng is the most popular general in front of the current emperor.

Not to mention stopping Luo Cheng, even if Luo Cheng wanted to transfer his soldiers from Lujiao Pass, he would not say a word.

"It's urgent. If you haven't come here before, I'm in a hurry to tell you in detail. The commander-in-chief has scouted several bandits, and they have recently crossed the river and entered Pingyuan County. According to my people's scouting, they are uniting and preparing to attack In Pingyuan County, the military situation is urgent, and this commander personally chased him across the river."

This explanation made Lao Liu smile a little helplessly, what kind of reason is this.

The thief is in Henan, so Luo Cheng can chase and fight as much as he wants, but the thief has crossed the Yellow River and reached the border of Hebei, so he shouldn't chase beyond the border.However, Luo Cheng has a high status now, and he also said that he was chasing the bandits, and that the bandits were going to attack Pingyuan County, so chasing them could be considered a reason.

"There is still such a thing, these thieves are too bold."

Luo Cheng didn't intend to talk to General Liu Zhen any more.

"There are more thieves this time. As far as I know, there are dozens of thieves united together, claiming to have 10 horses. But in fact, there are at least 3 thieves and thieves, so it should not be underestimated." Ah. The north of Pingyuan County is the canal, and the southeast is the Yellow River. This time, the second expedition has already begun, and the grain to the north will be transported by the canal. Once bandits capture the plain and cut off the canal, it will be quite troublesome, so we must Destroy this bandit."

Then Luo Cheng said to Lao Liu very bluntly, let Lao Liu take his [-] town soldiers as forward guides for his soldiers and horses, and as for the Lujiao Pass, Guo Xiaoke, Luo Cheng's subordinate, will be in charge of guarding it.

"I don't know how many troops the commander brought here?"

"Not much, only eight thousand." Luo Cheng laughed.

In fact, Luo Cheng can be regarded as not fighting. His [-] troops are directly under his command, plus the soldiers of Qi County and Zhangqiu. Luo Cheng brought it.

Old Liu didn't refuse, and he didn't dare to refuse. Although it didn't conform to the rules, his small town couldn't resist Luo Cheng.

Eight thousand soldiers from Henan were continuously crossing the river through the pontoon bridge. Wei Zheng did not know when he would arrive behind Luo Cheng.

"Your step is very risky."

It is indeed a very bold thing to lead [-] soldiers out of Henan and into Hebei without an edict.Before Luo Cheng privately recruited soldiers and horses, they hadn't passed the imperial court yet, and now he leads troops to cross the border. I don't know how many people will impeach Luo Cheng.

"I know, but Pingyuan County is just to the north of our Qi County, separated by a river. This time, various signs revealed that the bandits who wanted to attack Pingyuan were actually Yang Xuangan and Li Mi's people. They gathered in Pingyuan at this time, To capture Pingyuan County is to prepare for Yang Xuangan's rebellion."

There are Wuyang and Qinghe prefectures between Pingyuan and Ji prefectures, but the two prefectures are connected by the Yellow River and canals, so they are very convenient to connect.Once Yang Xuangan rebelled in Jijun, the bandits in Pingyuan County could not only block the canal and intercept the Sui army going south in the direction of Zhuojun in the north, but also quickly join Yang Xuangan.

Another one, guarding the plains, will be able to prevent Qi County soldiers and horses from going north.

"You can't let Yang Xuangan succeed. If you let this guy take advantage of the situation, then Hebei and Henan will be empty, and this guy will turn the world upside down. Originally, the Central Plains is in chaos. No one smokes, we people, at least, have to think about our families, right?"

Yang Xuangan wants to rebel. Although he has been secretly operating for many years and the Hongnong Yang family is also powerful, he rebelled in Liyang after all. No matter how famous and powerful Yang Xuangan is here, there are not many soldiers available here after all, so he still needs Li Mi to help him. The thieves he contacted.

With the rice in Li Yang's granary, plus the rebel soldiers from all walks of life, Yang Xuangan will be able to gather thousands of troops at that time.

Luo Cheng reckoned that Yang Xuangan might make trouble around May, and Luo Cheng would probably be in the Yalu River at that time, so he was worried.Originally, the counties in Henan were in a mess by bandits, if Yang Xuangan were to make another big mess, then the Central Plains would really be in chaos.

With the Central Plains in chaos, how could Qi County and Zhangqiu become that extraterrestrial place?

Douzigang, Pingyuan County.

People came one after another, crowding the salt marshes into an extremely lively place.

Du Yanbing, Wang Run, Li Deyi, Ge Qian, Gao Kaidao, Sun Yaxuan, Shi Zhilan, Hao Xiaode and other rebel leaders led their troops one after another.

King Sun Yaxuan of Qi is a fat, ball-like man from Hebei. His big belly and beard are his trademarks. He has been active in the plains and the Bohai Sea for the past two years. , but there are also seven or eight thousand old thieves who can fight, and they are indeed strong.

After having so many soldiers and horses, Sun Yaxuan couldn't wait to call himself King of Qi.

And with him on the other side, how could the other kings of thieves be willing to live under others.

So Gao Kaidao called himself the King of Yan, but Ge Qian also called himself the King of Yan, so in the green forest, everyone had to call Ge Qian in the north the King of Yan in the north, and Gao Kaidao in the south as the King of Yan in the south.

In addition, Li Deyi inherited Liu Badao's uncle army, who also called himself King Zhao.

Hao Chide, who originated in Henan, claimed to be the king of Lu, while Gao Shida called himself the Duke of Donghai.

For a while, seven or eight anti-kings and a dozen anti-gongs gathered at that time, it was very lively.

"A certain led [-] troops to join the alliance." Qi Wang Sun Ya declared.

"This king also came with 3 troops." King Lu He Xiaode patted his chest and said, and the two kings of Yan over there did not show weakness, each claiming that they had brought [-] horses.

Even Donghai Gong Gao Shida said that he brought 1 horses.

After everyone has finished their reports and simply added, the number of people brought by each family was as high as 20.

"Then let's claim the 50 rebel army, the Eighteenth Route Anti-king Alliance, and attack Pingyuan County together."

"Okay, let's call it 50, and scare those dog officials in Pingyuan City."

Li Mi did not sit with these anti-kings and anti-gongs. He was accompanied by his student Wang Bodang and sat under a thatched hut in the distance, watching the lively scene over there while drinking tea.

Listening to those Kings of Qi, King Lu, King Yan, King Zhao bragging about themselves, Li Mi shook his head disdainfully. Although he wanted to take advantage of these recklessness, he still really looked down on these guys in his heart.
