The Passionate Guns of Sui and Tang Dynasties

Chapter 463 "Two for Three" Agreement Reached

Changsun Wuji took Yang Yong's reply to Tangying and saw Li Shimin. Li Shimin opened Yang Yong's reply and was deeply surprised.Yang Yong's answer to him was very clear and polite. He very much agreed with the "two for three" model proposed by Li Shimin, but this "two for three" is not the same as "two for three". Exchange Princess Pingyang and Luo Cheng for Yang Yuling and Princess Yujing, plus Luo Song's biological mother Jiang Shi.

This was unexpected by Li Shimin. He had guessed that Yang Yong would impose additional conditions, but he did not expect that an old woman would be attached, and only one of the two Shaobao surnamed Luo would be released.Li Shimin hurried to find Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui, after they read the letter, they also remained silent for a long time.

Fang Xuanling said: "His Royal Highness, Yang Yong and Li Jing are borrowing horses to change generals, and at the same time, they have put us in a stumbling block. He only released one of the two young guarantors, and he has to exchange Mrs. Jiang. There is a separation between the Luo family and his son. It means that this is actually tearing us down."

Li Shimin nodded.Du Ruhui added: "In addition, my subordinates felt that Yang Yong still had plans to force Luo Song to surrender. He exchanged Mrs. Jiang back to the camp of the rebel army. This move was exactly the same as Cao Mengde's way of forcing Xu Shu to surrender and dismantle Liu Bei. And We have to agree to him, because Yang Yong must know that we can't give up saving Princess Pingyang, and Yang Yong is romantic and unrestrained, and he has many women. It is not difficult for him to give up two at the critical moment, but we He can’t afford to gamble, so the initiative in this game is in his hands.”

"What Keming said is very true. It's just two gentlemen, do you think Luo Song will surrender to Yang Yong? Will the Luo family and his son have a second heart for my Datang? Can you part with this princess? The husband and wife have gone through hardships, separated for more than [-] years, and it's not long before they reunited." Li Shimin asked, seeing that his confidants were all around him, and there was no Luo Yi's old department.

Fang Xuanling said: "Your Highness, I have heard that Luo Song is loyal, unless his mother forces him, he will definitely not surrender to Yang Yong, because his father and younger brother are in the Tang camp, and he will not do anything of his own accord." The matter of killing each other. As for whether Luo Yi and Luo Cheng will have disagreements with Datang, it is hard to say. His Royal Highness understands the character of Luo Yi and his son. However, the subordinates feel that Luo Yi will definitely agree to this matter now. "

Du Ruhui nodded in agreement: "Xuan Ling is right, Your Highness, he can save one of the two sons, unless he doesn't want to save both, then his second concubine Mrs. Meng will not agree. Luo Yi and Meng Madam has lived together for so many years, only gave birth to a son, Luo Cheng, and he has been separated from Jiang for so many years, how many feelings can stand the test?"

Li Shimin nodded and agreed to Yang Yong's plan of changing generals. In fact, he had predicted this result a few days ago, but he didn't expect it to be so accurate. The next thing to do is to tell his father Li Yuan about this matter. In addition, Out of emotion and reason, he had to communicate with Luo Yi.Therefore, Li Shimin wrote another letter to Yang Yong, agreeing that ten days later, according to Yang Yong's wishes, he would change generals outside Linyi City. down.

Ten days is not a long time. During this period, Li Shimin had to see Luo Yi, and then he had to bring Mrs. Jiang from the capital to the front line in Shandong. It would take time, but I don't know how Luo Yi's men are fighting against Su Dingfang.

Just as Li Shimin was about to send someone to investigate, the little principal who reported the incident ran in from the outside, knelt down and kowtowed with a look of panic: "Report to King Qin for a thousand years, King Luo failed to stop Su Dingfang's troops in the east of Wuyang, and has been defeated back to Pingyuan County, King Luo He was wounded by an arrow, but his life is not in danger."

Li Shimin, Fangmou Duduan and others were shocked when they heard this. Although they knew the prestige of Su Dingfang and Wu Tianxi, Luo Yi was by no means a good person. The Eighteen Horsemen of Yanyun came and went like the wind, and were as brave as fire. Even the fierce and brutal Turkic people were frightened by the news, but they couldn't deal with these two generals. It is said that there are no weak soldiers under the strong generals. The "Four Beams and Five Tigers" really deserve their reputation, and they are not easy to mess with.

Li Shimin was shocked, and temporarily handed over the major affairs in the camp to Changsun Wuji and Li Xiaogong. He personally brought Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui and a group of personal guards to Pingyuan to visit Luo Yi.

Linyi is only tens of miles away from Pingyuan County, so it didn't take half an hour for Li Shimin to see Luo Yi lying on the bed.

When Luo Yi saw that Li Shimin had brought someone to visit in person, he was flattered, and quickly got up to get out of bed to salute, but Li Shimin rushed over to help him, and said with great concern: "Brother Wang, my family should not be polite. Xiao Wang heard that Brother Wang was injured. , My heart is on fire, how is Brother Wang's injury, has the arrow been taken out?"

"Thank you for your concern, Your Highness. The arrow has been taken out. It's not a big deal. It's just a little flesh wound. There is no poison on the arrow, and it has been treated with medicine. Alas, I'm ashamed..." Luo Yi sighed and said with a look of shame on his face. The process of his defeat in this battle.

It turned out that Luo Yi led Yanyun Eighteen Cavalry and led 3 horses to stop Su Dingfang's troops, and the two sides met in the east of Wuyang County.Luo Yi found out that Su Dingfang and Wu Tianxi were not together, the first to encounter Wu Tianxi's [-] cavalry, and Su Dingfang's main force was basically infantry two hundred miles away, so he planned to eat Wu Tianxi's troops first.

Why is Su Dingfang's men divided into two groups, and why is the distance between the two parties so far apart?Luo Yi didn't know the inside story.It turned out that Su Dingfang and Wu Tianxi also had the problem of discord between generals.These two generals were ordered by Yang Yong to lead [-] rebels to Luoyang and take charge of the defense of the Henan area, and a general Zhang Gongjin assisted them.

Among the three generals, Su Dingfang is the main general, Wu Tianxi and Zhang Gongjin are the deputy generals, Zhang Gongjin is fine, he admires and appreciates Su Dingfang, and he obeys.But Wu Tianxi refused to accept Su Dingfang, even though Su Dingfang respected Wu Tianxi and regarded him as a senior, he would discuss with Wu Tianxi before anything happened, never daring to be less polite.

But Wu Tianxi is arrogant and domineering, thinking that he is far above Su Dingfang in terms of qualifications and martial arts, but now he is under the control of Su Dingfang. He is a kid in his early twenties, and he is his father. More than enough, why should this general be inferior to him?

With this emotion, Wu Tianxi always ignored Su Dingfang and went his own way. Su Dingfang also felt Wu Tianxi's contempt for him, but he put the overall situation first, pretended not to know, and still respected Wu Tianxi.This time when he sent troops to capture the king, Su Dingfang originally planned to let Wu Tianxi sit in Luoyang. He and Zhang Gongjin led the troops to capture the king, but after much consideration, he decided to let Zhang Gongjin stay. He and Wu Tianxi led [-] horse infantry soldiers and set off.

As soon as he left Luoyang, Wu Tianxi curled his lips and made a suggestion to Su Dingfang: "Marshal, saving soldiers is like putting out a fire. We are going to Shandong for thousands of mountains and rivers. We are going too slowly like this. When will we get there? How about this, the last general? As the vanguard, a cavalry takes a step ahead, and the commander leads the infantry to the rear."

Su Dingfang agreed, and gave Wu Tianxi five thousand cavalry (except for his personal guards, all the cavalry were given to him), and told Wu Tianxi not to be too far away from his own, so as not to be ambushed by the Tang army.Wu Tianxi promised very well, and in just two days, he threw Su Dingfang's main force hundreds of miles away.

After Su Dingfang learned about it, he mobilized his men and horses to hurry up, and the distance between the two sides was shortened to about [-] miles. However, at this time, they had already entered the border of Wuyang (today's Guanxian County) in Shandong Province, which is far away from Linyi. It was three or four hundred miles away. Su Dingfang was worried that Wu Tianxi would make a mistake in his trade, so he stepped up his march and ordered people to ride fast horses to pass orders to stop Wu Tianxi's troops first, but at this moment, something happened to Wu Tianxi's department... …
