Great Warriors of Sui and Tang Dynasties

Chapter 647
"The emperor is in some trouble now."

Hearing the dissatisfaction expressed by the generals for a long time, Luo Cheng finally spoke slowly.

A few years ago, he asked Zhang Liang and Wang Junkuo, his former personal guard generals, to be in charge of setting up the intelligence department. Zhang Liang was full-time to inquire about intelligence, and Wang Junkuo was in charge of assassination.In the past few years, Luo Cheng has poured a lot of money into it, and Zhang Liang and Zhang Liang have also devoted themselves to it, so the two organizations he has developed in the dark have developed fairly rapidly.

A large intelligence network has been constructed, with a set of personnel for collection, analysis, and transmission.

Luo Cheng fought in Mayi, and he has been keeping an eye on Liaodong's family, the imperial court and other places in the Central Plains through the two shadow guards.

In the past few months, Liaodong's hometown has been very quiet. After he brought Feng Lun, Li Baiyao, and Duan Da out, Hou Mo Chenyi, Wei Zheng, Du Ruhui, and Fang Xuanling stayed behind, and everything was in order.The Yuan family in the domestic city did not dare to make any changes, and everything was stable.

However, the situation in the Central Plains is not so optimistic.

The emperor was besieged by Yanmen, and soldiers and horses from all over the country worked hard for the king, so the Central Plains was empty, and the already chaotic Central Plains lost their suppression.For a time, a hundred ghosts were walking around at night, adding chaos to chaos.

Among them, Li Mi is the most eye-catching.

This guy came out again after being quiet for several years. He first voted for Mengrang, and then divided his troops to go north. Luo Cang.

Li Mi opened a granary to release grain and called on the bandits from all over the world to Luoyang. In a short period of time, the number of soldiers and horses grew to more than [-], which was very terrifying.

Li Mi quickly broke through the Xingyang Pass, and the soldiers and horses directly arrived at the city of Yanshi on the outskirts of Luoyang.

The emperor was in a hurry to go south from Taiyuan. In fact, a big reason was that Li Mi had already approached Luoyang City.

Although the emperor returned to Dongdu before Li Mi broke through Luoyang, and brought back several generals, it only slightly eased the crisis in Luoyang.

When the emperor entered Luoyang, Li Mi took the initiative to break the siege of Yanshi City, and retreated the soldiers and horses to Hulao Pass in Xingyang.On the surface, of course it was the emperor's might that shocked Li Mi, but Luo Cheng had analyzed the information.

Knowing that Li Mi is only temporarily avoiding the emperor's edge, but he still controls Hulao Pass, an important pass city, which means that Li Mi still holds the initiative.

He can attack again at any time, or retreat.

Facts have proved that Li Mi's retreat is not useless.

As soon as he retreated, Yu Shiji and others frantically flattered the emperor, saying how amazing the emperor was, scared off Li Mi and so on.On the other hand, the urgent rebellion report documents from all over the country were sent to Beijing like a snowflake.

Yu Shiji and others continued to conceal most of the serious reports, and then made excuses to ask the emperor to let generals such as Li Jing, Xue Shixiong, and Yang Yichen return to their residences.

Yu Shiji and others asked Li Jing to pacify Dou Jiande, Xue Shixiong to pacify Wang Xuba, Yang Yichen to pacify Wei Daoer, Zhang Xutuo to pacify Li Mi, and Li Yuan to pacify Mengrang.

At the same time, Pei Yun also invited the emperor to visit Jiangdu.

In fact, several prime ministers also know that the situation in the Central Plains is not optimistic at this time. There are several large rebels, all of which claim to have 20 million people, especially Li Mi, who occupies the tiger prison with 40 people. He also has Xingluo Cang It can be said that there is plenty of food for the soldiers.

In order to avoid another siege of Luoyang like the Siege of Yanmen, Yu they tried to find a reason to persuade the emperor to go south to Jiangdu.On the surface, it is natural to go to Jiangnan to relax, but in fact they are still very afraid of Li Mi's strength.

The Jianghuai rebellion was lighter.

On the other hand, after the Zixing Luocang was captured by Li Mi, it was always threatening the military and civilian food in Luoyang City. Although there was a large granary outside Luoyang City, after Xingyang was captured by the rebels, the food in the southeast was no longer available. Come again.

The latest news that Zhang Liang sent to Luo Cheng was that the emperor had not yet decided whether to tour Jiangdu south, but Li Mi was already plotting to attack again.

Zhang Xutuo, the appeasement envoy of Henan Province, had ordered his troops to attack Li Mi, but he only had [-] soldiers who had just returned from King Qin, and these soldiers and horses were very dissatisfied because they failed to get the emperor's reward. Heart.

"Li Mi shouldn't be successful, right?" Song Laosheng asked doubtfully, when Li Mi followed Yang Xuangan in the rebellion before, he was killed by them.

"At that time, at this time, the situation is different. Two years ago, Yang Xuangan rebelled and shook the world, but he couldn't conquer Hulao Pass. But this time, Li Mi broke through Xingyang County and Hulao Pass in a short time. Even taking down Xingluo warehouse, Li Mi now needs food and soldiers, and there are even rebellions all over the world, and they are all sharing his pressure."

The fourth child disagreed.

"Didn't Zhang Shuai lead his troops to crusade? Li Mi just took advantage of the opportunity that soldiers from all over the country went north to serve as the king. Now there are no tigers in the mountains, and monkeys are the king. Now that Zhang Shuai is back, how many days can he go?"

Luo Cheng just sighed.

After learning about the situation in Henan, Luo Cheng wrote to his teacher Zhang Xutuo as soon as possible, telling him to be careful of Li Mi.Li Mi's ability is still there, he is not as brave as Yang Xuangan, but he has a lot of tricks, last time he was just a general under Yang Xuangan's command, but now he is the commander in chief, with unlimited use of troops.

In addition, there are too few soldiers around Zhang Xutuo, and their morale is not high.

These factors can all affect the outcome of a war.

Yu Shiji and other prime ministers are now busy trying to figure out how to coax the emperor to leave Luoyang and go to Jiangdu, and at the same time keep the emperor from knowing the real situation outside. Therefore, they are also planning painstakingly, and they have no time to pay attention to Luo Cheng and others in the north.

They had a bad relationship with Luo Cheng in the first place, so now that Luo Yi left Beijing, they could wantonly suppress Luo Cheng.

Deliberately pretending to have forgotten about the battle in Daibei, deliberately pretending not to know that Luo Cheng and the others had achieved great success.

They all knew about the battle in Daibei, but they were deliberately hiding it from the emperor, and every time they downplayed the matter, they didn't mention it if they could.

It is even more impossible for them to ask for credit for Luo Cheng.

So now that Luo Cheng has won a big battle, they don't know it.

Luo Cheng should have been summoned to go south to Luoyang to win the prize, but under their interference, the emperor and the court did not react at all.

The boat of Tai Sui, under the control of those rotten crew members, has already flooded and is about to sink.

“What a disappointment!”

Shan Xiongxin said, "It's too disappointing."

Luo Cheng put away his thoughts and smiled.

"In fact, it's not that hard. After all, we won the battle, and we won so beautifully. Our harvest is also very rich. Even if there are no awards and rewards from the imperial court, these spoils of war are enough for us to reward meritorious soldiers. The dead in battle comfort the wounded."

"Anyway, this battle is over, and we have won, so now we leave Daibei, and we return to Liaodong, which is the home of our soldiers of the Zhongwu Army."

"Let's go home!"
