Yang Guang peeked at my diary and lay down like an emperor through the ages

Chapter 292 Zong Luohu ordered to kill Li Gui before arriving at Jincheng
at the same time.

Direction to Zhangye County.

After Li Gui came back with his army, he was in a good mood.

And the confidence has become much more abundant.

He even took the initiative to send troops and horses to search for the whereabouts of the Sui army.

After all, there are Xue Ju's [-] elite soldiers.

Coupled with Zhang Ye's military strength, wouldn't it be easy to fight against [-] Sui troops?
Crucially, they also know the terrain.

Simply, it occupies the right time, place, people and people.

Li Gui even hosted a banquet for Zong Luohu that day.

The group of people got very drunk.

When Cao Zhen and others saw this, they shook their heads helplessly.

"My lord, if this continues, Zhang Ye will probably be destroyed!"

He sighed.

With only [-] more troops, we are confident.

Indeed, he committed the taboo of underestimating the enemy.

But Li Gui's confidence goes beyond that.

The main reason was that he had formed an alliance with Xue Ju.

The two of them worked together to deal with the Sui army, so what were they worried about?

"Okay, don't spoil the fun."

Master Xie patted Cao Zhen on the shoulder and said.

Because of what happened before, Cao Zhen's position in front of Pellet Gui.

It’s not as good as it used to be.

Even worse than Zong Luohu under Xue Ju.

"I'm going to leave!"

Taking a deep breath, Cao Zhen said suddenly.

"What did you say?"

Hearing this, Master Xie was shocked.

The enemy is facing a formidable enemy, but Cao Zhen wants to retreat.

If Li Gui finds out, he will definitely die.

"If you don't leave, it's over!"

Cao Zhen said bluntly.

He had a good relationship with Master Xie, so he was willing to tell him.

If it were anyone else, Cao Zhen would definitely be tight-lipped.

"Do you know what you're talking about?"

Commander Xie looked around and found no one, then asked in a low voice.

"I know exactly what I'm talking about."

Cao Zhen replied.

"Ugh!"

Master Xie slapped his thigh, feeling in a dilemma.

If Cao Zhen really leaves, it will definitely affect the morale of the army.

Who knows if he left to join the Sui army?

If he really went there, wouldn't the Sui army have figured out the situation?
At that time, the Sui army was ready to prepare its army to attack.

With Cao Zhen, the Sui army will understand the terrain.

By then, all of Li Gui's advantages will be gone.

But what if I told Li Gui that Cao Zhen was leaving.

So how can Tongshi Xie live up to Cao Zhen's trust?
For a while, he was a little embarrassed.

"Old Cao!"

After hesitating for a long time, Commander Xie finally spoke.

"If you want to tell the lord, you can go."

Cao Zhen replied.

"You misunderstood me."

Commander Xie shook his head.

Hearing this, Cao Zhen was a little curious.

He also thought about telling Master Xie Tong about this.

Master Xie, how will you choose?

Cao Zhen, I have thought about many possibilities.

Master Xie could either tell Li Gui directly.

Or, pretend not to know.

Master Xie's choice was the most direct and even somewhat simple approach.

"do not go."

he opened his mouth.

Yes, Tongshi Xie wanted to persuade Cao Zhen to stay.

Don't leave during this critical period.

"Ha ha!"

Cao Zhen suddenly laughed twice.

"Since I said it, I naturally made up my mind to leave."

"No one can persuade me to stay!"

He speaks bluntly.

Hearing this, Commander Xie gave a bitter smile.

Even if he arrives, this will be the ending.

Cao Zhen lost Li Gui's trust.

Now, I see Li Gui underestimate the enemy again.

He believed that Li Gui would definitely lose.

So staying would mean death. How could he make such a stupid choice?

"You come with me too!"

Cao Zhen advised.

This was the reason why he told Master Xie.

He wanted to ask Tongshi Xie to follow him and leave Li Gui together.

"Forget it, go on your own."

Taking a deep breath, Commander Xie gave the answer.

How could he possibly follow Cao Zhen?
"it is good."

Cao Zhen didn't say much.

He didn't ask Commander Xie why he didn't want to leave with him.

After saying this, Cao Zhen turned around and left.

Tonight is the best time to leave.

Li Gui and others were already drunk.

And they were in such a good mood that they never expected Cao Zhen to leave.

That night, Cao Zhen left.

As for where it went, no one knows.

After all, Cao Zhen was just an ordinary person in the entire Sui Dynasty.

Early the next morning, Li Gui woke up.

He only felt a splitting headache. It seemed that he drank a lot yesterday.

Zong Luohu and others also got up one after another.

As usual, Li Gui sent people to inspect the city.

At the same time, scouts were sent again to find out the news.

As soon as Li Gui finished doing this, someone came riding a fast horse.

This person was the messenger specially sent when Xue Ju was ambushed in the first place.

Its purpose is to bring news to Li Gui and others.

"See Li Gong, General He Zong!"

The messenger quickly dismounted and saluted.

I saw that he was sweating profusely. It seemed that he had come all the way without much rest.

"who are you?"

Li Gui was stunned for a moment.

Obviously, the person in front of him was not one of his men.

"They are from Duke Xue!"

Zong Luohu said.

"Tell me, what is Mr. Xue's order?"

he asked, looking at the messenger.

"Xue Gong was ambushed, and the Sui army has entered the hinterland of Hexi!"

The messenger speaks bluntly.

As soon as these words came out, the expressions of Li Gui and Zong Luohu changed drastically.

The two of them really didn't expect that the Sui army would actually enter the hinterland of Hexi.

Tongshi Xie, Chang Zhongxing and others on the side were all shocked.

The key is that the Sui army also ambushed Xue Ju.

Moreover, Xue Ju’s troops and horses are not too many.

"Damn it, when did the Sui army arrive this year?"

Li Gui cursed loudly.

"It's a good thing!"

Zong Luohu suddenly spoke.

Hearing this, Li Gui stared at Zong Luohu with extremely strange eyes.

"Mr. Li, think about it."

"The Sui army has entered the hinterland of Hexi. If we send troops, Duke Xue and we will form a pincer attack on the Sui army!"

Zong Luohu explained.

"It really is!"

When Li Gui heard this, his eyes lit up.

Tongshi Xie looked at Chang Zhongxing.

Both of them felt that something was not quite right.

Sui Jun is not a fool.

Since they dared to enter the hinterland of Hexi, they must have some plans.

If they send troops rashly, it will be detrimental to them.

This is where Tongshi Xie and others differ from Li Gui.

Several people were very vigilant and did not dare to look down on the Sui army.

As for Li Gui, he looked down on the Sui army from the beginning.

What's more, he has now formed an alliance with Xue Ju.

Without worries, you will naturally feel more confident.

"If that's the case, what are we waiting for?"

Li Gui was a little excited.

He plans to send troops now.

"Okay, you take a message to Duke Xue, and Duke Li and I will come with our army to support you."

"We directly formed a pincer attack on the Sui army and wiped them out!"

Zong Luohu ordered.

"promise!"

The messenger accepted the order, turned around and left.

Then Li Gui and Zong Luohu began to arrange the march.

Just before sending troops, Xue Rengao's cronies arrived!

This confidant works day and night.

That's why we can rush to Zhangye area after the messenger. "I am here on the orders of the eldest master!"

After the cronies found a way to get close to Zong Luohu, they directly revealed their identity.

"what?"

Zong Luohu was stunned for a moment.

Just after the messenger left, Xue Rengao's cronies arrived. What's going on?

"Master, what are your orders?"

Even so, Zong Luohu still asked.

"The eldest master ordered that there be only one!"

The henchman's voice became deeper.

After saying that, he leaned into Zong Luohu's ear and said something.

Zong Luohu's expression changed drastically, becoming shocked and even incredulous.

"What did you say?"

His voice was sharp, revealing shock.

Xue Rengao's order was very simple, that is, let Zong Luohu find a way to get Li Gui's head.

Before Zong Luohu, he had only received one order from Xue Ju.

That is, after defeating the Sui army, find a way to kill Li Gui and others.

But now the Sui army has not been destroyed, and it even ambushed Xue Ju and others.

Obviously, not the best time.

"who are you?"

Zong Luohu immediately became vigilant.

And Xue Rengao had already expected this.

Therefore, he gave his cronies a token.

Seeing that Zong Luohu didn't believe it, the confidants took out the token directly.

This token is actually just a jade pendant.

But this jade pendant is not simple, it is Xue Rengao's personal belongings.

Xue Rengao always wore it and never took it off.

So when he saw this jade pendant, Zong Luohu immediately believed it.

"How could this happen, and why are you the one bringing the news?"

Zong Luohu felt that his mind was in a mess and he really couldn't figure it out.

"Just do what the eldest son tells you."

"Don't worry about Mr. Xue."

said the confidant.

Hearing this, Zong Luohu raised the jade pendant and looked at it carefully for a long time.

"it is good!"

Finally, he gritted his teeth and agreed.

Seeing Zong Luohu agree, the confidants also breathed a sigh of relief.

"In that case, I'll take my leave first!"

He raised his hands to Zong Luohu and left quietly.

After the confidant left for a while, Zong Luohu called his subordinates.

"General, what are your orders?"

Everyone asked one after another.

"The eldest master has given orders to take Li Gui's head before arriving at Jincheng!"

Zong Luohu said bluntly.

Hearing this, the expressions of everyone present changed and they looked at Zong Luohu in disbelief.

"General, are you serious?"

Deputy General Zong Luohu asked.

"Do you think Ben would joke about something like this?"

Zong Luohu asked rhetorically.

"But why did the eldest son give this order and not Mr. Xue?"

The deputy general asked again.

"I don't know either, but the eldest son's order is also an order."

Zong Luohu replied.

Sometimes, Xue Rengao was responsible for all affairs of the army.

It can be said that he is only second to Xue Ju.

Therefore, his status among the rebels is not small.

Otherwise, Zong Luohu really wouldn't have obeyed this order.

"promise!"

The deputy general and others no longer hesitated and responded with their hands.

"Now is the perfect time, Li Gui has great trust in us!"

Zong Luohu lowered his voice and began to plan how to kill Li Gui.

"Yes!"

The lieutenant returned.

"So on the way to Jincheng, I will find a way to get close to Li Gui."

"Then he took advantage of his unpreparedness and chopped off his head!"

Zong Luohu continued.

"At that time, Li Gui's army will definitely be in chaos. All you need to do is kill the rest!"

He paused and continued.

The so-called remaining people are Xie Tongshi and Chang Zhongxing.

As long as they die, Li Gui's army will be leaderless.

Naturally, there is no way to pose any threat to Xue Ju's army.

"promise!"

The people took orders.

"call"

Zong Luohu let out a long breath.

He chose to do as Xue Rengao ordered, not knowing whether it was right or wrong.

When the Sui army penetrated deep into the hinterland, they rashly attacked Li Gui.

Something is really wrong.

Zong Luohu couldn't understand either.

If Li Gui is destroyed at this time, what will happen to Xue Ju's army?

Once Li Gui died, Li Gui's army was bound to be in chaos.

It's not something that Xue Ju's army can control.

By then, keeping it will be a disaster.

Maybe, they will even defect in the face of battle.

"What's wrong with Mr. Xue? Why do you agree with the eldest son's decision?"

"Also, why is the eldest son so confused?"

Zong Luohu is puzzled.

But now, there is only one way to go.

After all, he had already given the order.

Once the military order is issued, it cannot be changed.

It is estimated that now all officers in the army, large and small, have received orders.

The arrow is on the string, it must be fired!
At this time, the Mayi County area.

Li Yuan took the lead and fled here.

Li Shimin has always been behind.

When he arrived at the county town of Mayi County, Li Yuan fainted and died.

Liu Wenjing and others quickly called for a doctor to check Li Yuan's pulse.

The doctor just said that Li Yuan was so frightened that he fainted.

In addition, I had a hidden disease before, so I can't be stimulated anymore.

Need to rest for a while.

After receiving the reply, Liu Wenjing and others kept smiling bitterly.

"Now, Taiyuan has fallen."

"The Tang army was in a state of life and death."

"How could Mr. Tang not be stimulated under such circumstances?"

A few people just find it more difficult,

What's more, there is still no trace of Li Shimin.

I don’t know what Li Shimin’s situation is.

Li Yuan fell into a coma again, and the entire Tang army was panicked.

"It's strange to say, why did Taiyuan fall?"

After Pei Jiji calmed down, he frowned and said.

"Yes!"

Liu Wenjing also felt something strange.

You know, Taiyuan is under martial law.

When the Sui army arrived, it was impossible for the defenders to be unaware.

Not to mention, the Sui army suddenly broke through the city without any major movement.

There is something strange about everything inside and out.

At this moment, a series of footsteps sounded.

Immediately afterwards, Li Shimin walked in with a tired look.

Everything on his body was clean, and there were blood stains on his armor.

It seems that he came back after fighting all the way.

Duan Zhixuan and Hou Junji were also injured.

"Second son!"

Seeing Li Shimin back, Liu Wenjing and others breathed a sigh of relief.

"Where's my father?"

Li Shimin asked directly.

"Tang Gong fainted."

Liu Wenjing explained.

After hearing this, Li Shimin was going to visit.

But he was stopped by Pei Ji.

"Second Young Master, Mr. Tang is still in a coma and needs to recuperate."

"There is no one in the Tang Army now, and there are many things waiting for you to deal with!"

he said directly.

Hearing this, Li Shimin was silent for a long time, and finally gave up the plan.

"Second Young Master, are the Sui troops coming in pursuit?"

Liu Wenjing asked.

"No."

Li Shimin shook his head.

In fact, he was also curious as to why the Sui army didn't take advantage of the victory to pursue it.

Li Shimin was thinking that he would prepare an ambush on the way and wait for the Sui army to pursue him.

"That's good."

Liu Wenjing breathed a sigh of relief for the time being.

"But it's only a matter of time before the Sui army comes to kill us."

Li Shimin said lightly.

Hearing this, Pei Ji and Liu Wenjing kept smiling bitterly.

They knew that what Li Shimin said was true.
