Chapter 465 Luo Luo Invades
Because of Rong Zhao's indifference, at the end of the day, Xiao Junjue's official duties were delayed again. At night, he wanted to stay up late to read all the official documents when he was quiet, but Rong Zhao forced him to turn off the lights and go to sleep.

"Zhao Zhao, let's discuss it, can I wait another hour?" On the bed, Xiao Junjue discussed with Rong Zhao.

Rong Zhao was resolute, and hugged him firmly, "No, you will delay my sleep."

"Then I'll go to the study."

"No, those who don't know will think that I kicked you to the study. I am a good wife and mother. If people know that I kicked you to the study when you were sick, how will others talk about it?" Actually Rong Zhao just didn't want to He is too busy. I haven't heard that people who are sick have to be busy all the time, so can't they take good care of themselves?
It seems that he can't fulfill his wish, but the warm and fragrant nephrite hugged in his arms made Xiao Junjue, who had been abstaining from meat for many days, feel charming in his heart, and the softness on his chest exuded an attractive fragrance.

"If that's the case, I won't be able to fall asleep for a while, so let's play something interesting." After finishing speaking, he tore off Rong Zhao's clothes.

"Oh, you are so annoying, don't make trouble, don't make trouble."

"Don't you just like me and hate you?"

"Who said, don't make trouble, haha, it's so itchy, don't make trouble, please."

The two were having fun, when there was a knock on the door.

"My lord, my lord, something is wrong." Ye Xiao called out urgently.

Xiao Junjue felt bad when he heard this sound, and raised the curtain of the bed and asked anxiously, "What's wrong?"

"Someone just came to report that Luo Luo's heavy troops are suppressing the territory, and they are capturing Bicheng, and Yunzhou is in danger."

Luoluo is a country close to Bashu, and its folk customs are tough and barbaric. In the past, there were several battles with Dazhou, but all ended in failure.It has been more than ten years since the last defeat. I thought I was honest, but I didn't expect to jump up again now.

Bicheng is not under the jurisdiction of Xiao Junjue, but it is very close to Yunzhou under its jurisdiction. If Seoul is captured, it is very likely that Yunzhou will be next.Attacking Yunzhou, the whole Bashu will be endangered.

Xiao Junjue's complexion changed drastically, and he got out of bed with bare feet. He looked annoyed, "Why didn't you report this kind of thing sooner? Could it be that the person guarding the southern border is a fool? Let them invade quietly! "

Rong Zhao hurriedly waited for him to get dressed, and advised: "Don't worry."

This illness is just right, Rong Zhao is afraid that if he gets angry, he will fall ill again.

Although he comforted Xiao Junjue not to worry, Rong Zhao's hands were trembling.

Although Luo Luo's area is small, he has a force of 80 to [-] troops. This time, there must be a lot of people, and how many troops can there be in Bashu.

She roughly calculated in her mind that each state could add up to about 10,000+ soldiers and horses, plus the 30 brought in when they came to the fief, and the tens of thousands recruited over the years, the total was only [-].Even if they were together, they couldn't compare with Luo Luo's army.What's more, in so many states, soldiers and horses naturally cannot be together, and soldiers and horses must be guarded everywhere.

Ye Xiao replied outside: "Luo Luo attacked suddenly, it's too late to resist after the attack comes in."

Luoluo and Dazhou are bounded by the river, and there is a piece of Baisha River in the middle. If you cross the river, the side of Dazhou is Wangtian Pass, and if you break through the pass, you will be Bicheng.

It is close to the city of Bicheng, that is to say, Wangtian Pass has been broken through, but after so many days, there is not even a trace of news.It can be seen that the guard of the pass has neglected his duty.

Bicheng is not under the control of Xiao Junjue's territory. As a vassal king, he is not allowed to send troops to rescue without the emperor's will.For Bicheng, it can be said that he is powerless.But if Bicheng fell, Yunzhou would suffer next. Xiao Junjue called all the officials and staff overnight to discuss countermeasures, and the discussion lasted until dawn the next day.

In the end, it was discussed that [-] soldiers and horses were drawn from each prefecture to station in Bizhou, and [-] soldiers and horses were drawn from Yizhou, led by Gu Jinnian and Gu Jinmu, to be stationed between Bicheng and Yunzhou, and to keep an eye on them day and night. Always pay attention to Luo Luo's movements.

Bicheng is in danger. Yunzhou, Xiangzhou and other places seem to be targeted by Luo Luo. Although they didn't send troops, there are a large number of people pressing down on them. I don't know what Luo Luo wants to do.

Now Luo Luo's ruler is not their king, but the king's uncle, the regent, who is a radical faction. Unlike the old kingdom that used to govern the country with a recuperation policy, it pursues immediate conquest of the world.This time, it was also due to the corruption and incompetence of Da Zhou's court, so he boldly attacked.

He had heard about the King of Chu who is currently in power in Bashu. He is a handsome man who manages the army. Although he is aggressive, he is not without brains.

Xiao Junjue was sitting in the study, discussing with everyone.

"Luo Luo has as many as 50 troops in this attack, but he took 30 from the troops who attacked Bicheng and placed them outside our border. What does this mean? Will he turn around and attack us?" Rong Yao asked.

Rong Yao's worries are not unreasonable, no one knows what Luo Luo's regent is thinking.Wars are sometimes false, and I am afraid that it is false that he attacked Bicheng, but it is true that he wants to attack Bashu.

Bashu's army is too small, and they have to guard inside and outside. If there is a real fight, it will be very disadvantageous.

Xiao Junjue frowned.

Shen Ao said: "It's very difficult to fight on two fronts, and Luo Luo may not get any benefits." He turned his head to look at Gu Jinfeng. Usually he has the most ideas and thinks more than others.

Gu Jinfeng looked at him, lowered his eyes and thought for a moment, then said: "In my opinion, no."

Xiao Jun looked at him, "What do you say?"

Everyone also looked at him, and Gu Jinfeng talked eloquently, "First, as Mr. Shen said, fighting on two fronts is too laborious and they can't afford it. There is no reinforcement from the imperial court yet. Once the reinforcement arrives, the 30 Wan also must go to Bicheng. Secondly, it is the twelfth lunar month, the coldest time of the year. Luo Luo lives in the south and is used to warm weather. When we come here, he can't stand the cold and the longer he stays , it is even more unfavorable to them, and there is also the problem of food and grass. It is not easy to transport it from Luoluo this winter, and they cannot afford it. Third, Luoluo also has internal troubles. As far as I know, many people in Luoluo are against the regent. The king refused to accept it, and when he went out to fight, if there was any turmoil in the country, he would also be worried."

Shen Ao smiled, and said: "It's still your thoughtfulness, that's why they are also anxious about the shortage of food and grass in winter. I think that the army at the border will return to Bicheng in a few days. Pressed outside our borders, I'm afraid it's meant to be a deterrent, warning us not to help."

Hearing what Shen Ao and Gu Jinfeng said, Meng Nianci's frowning eyebrows slightly opened, but soon they rose again, looked at the crowd, and spread his hands, "But when will the imperial reinforcements arrive? Now the 20 troops can still For a while, if 50 people attack Bicheng together, it will fall in less than a month. But now, it has been seven days, and even the nearby soldiers and horses have not been mobilized. Is the court planning to abandon Bicheng? "

If the emperor issued a document at this time and asked him to go to the rescue, he would get on his horse and pick up his knife and rush to Bicheng without saying a word.

Everyone looked at each other and could only sigh.

On the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month, it was the coldest day of the year. Luo Luo launched a fierce attack on Bicheng, and the water in the moat outside the city turned red. I couldn't lift a knife anymore, and at night, the weather became colder, and my hands and feet became hard. I was tired and cold, and whoever had the strength to attack stopped the attack.

On the [-]th, there was another attack, but it was still not captured. Bicheng was defended tightly, and the city gate was closed when it was about to open.Once it is full of energy, it will fail again, and then it will fail to be exhausted. If it cannot be opened at once, it will lose half of its breath, and it will not open if it is hit again.

However, although Bicheng was defended, it suffered heavy losses, and nearly [-] soldiers died.

On the [-]th day of the twelfth lunar month, Luo Luo launched another general attack and was about to win the city, but at that time the [-] reinforcements sent by the imperial court arrived and attacked from behind.

Luo Luo's siege failed, the army quickly withdrew and retreated to a place twenty miles away from Bi City to set up camp.At the same time, the troops stationed on the border of Yunzhou and Xiangzhou have also moved there. It seems that a full-scale attack will soon be launched.

However, only 1 reinforcements were sent, plus there were more than 50 people left in Bicheng, how could they fight against Luo Luo's [-] army.

Xiao Junjue didn't understand what Xiao Yuheng was going to do, whether he was too confident in Da Zhou's army, or whether he didn't care whether Bicheng fell or not.

This day Xiao Junjue came back from the front yard with a look of panic, and everyone who was within three meters of him hid away, fearing that he would be forced by the cold air of the prince.

"What's the matter, who are you so angry with?" Rong Zhao swept the snow off his body with a feather duster, took off his cloak for him, and led him to sit by the fireplace.

Yuan Yu held the tea and offered it to Xiao Jun Jue bravely. The cold air in the prince's body was several percent lower than the outside temperature. She handed it to the prince, her hands trembling unconsciously.Fortunately, the teacup was put down. If it hadn't been put down, it wouldn't have fallen.

Xiao Junjue took a sip of tea, his heart was still oppressed, he put the teacup on the table hard, the tea cover slid along the table and fell to the ground, breaking in two.

Yuan Yu thought that the tea she brewed was not to the prince's liking, or that it was hot or cold, so she knelt down to make amends, "My lord, calm down, my lord, calm down."

Rong Zhao waved her handkerchief to let her go down, "It's okay, just clean up, you can go down."

She saw that this was anger at people, it had nothing to do with tea, and it had nothing to do with Mandarin, so she sent Mandarin to go on.

Poured a cup of tea for him again and brought it to him, Rong Zhao thought for a moment and guessed, "Did something happen in Bicheng?"

Xiao Junjue looked at her, let out a sigh through his nose, touched the rim of the teacup with his fingers, and it was hot and painful to the touch, he slowed down and said seriously: "Bicheng fell and was taken by Luo Luo."
