Chapter 759

The rout of the Luo family army along the coast seems a little easy and simple, but it is based on the strong combat effectiveness of the iron armor soldiers. No one would have thought that the armored army would cross the Yangtze River in such a strange but more domineering way. It was like a demon drilling out of the ground and began to slaughter those scared and stupid Luo family Army soldiers.

If the Luo family army is on guard, it may not lose so badly by assembling a crossbow array for defense.

The scouts reported to luotu a few days ago that the iron armor army on the other side had piled up big stones on the bank, but even so, luotu didn't think that those big stones were used to aggravate. He thought it was for the riprap truck, and specially ordered the scouts to check whether there were a large number of riprap trucks on the other side.

Fifteen thousand armored troops lost hundreds of people when crossing the river, and then there were no casualties. General Luo's defeat spread from the beginning, which was as difficult to stop as a plague. The Luo family soldiers who lost their fighting spirit in an instant did not lose much, because they ran faster than the armored soldiers. Tens of thousands of people stayed on the South Bank of the Yangtze River, but only five or six thousand people died.

The heavy armor limits the speed of the armor army. While ensuring absolute defense, there is no room for speed. The light armor infantry of the Luo family army turned around and ran away after losing their weapons, and the iron armor army could not pursue them.

Yang Jian didn't plan to pursue.

Mosha led the troops to overturn and burn Luo Jiajun's camp on the bank. Yang Chong led the troops to demolish almost half of the water stronghold. Then the armored army gathered on the river bank and pushed south in a neat queue for 15 Li, opening a landing area for the follow-up brigade. Thousands of sails crossed the river. One day and one night, more than 150000 Sui troops crossed the Yangtze River. From this day on, it seems that the situation of the great Sui Dynasty has suddenly changed.

Before this day, it seems that the rebel forces of all parties have been attacking. Even when Tianyou emperor Yang yiyujia personally marched, there was no such destructive attack. This is a signal that the imperial court has changed from passive to active. Of course, this signal does not mean permanent.

No one knows what will happen tomorrow.

As the captain who escorted Xu Xiaogong and Liu enjing said, there are Gao Kaitai, Wang Yiqu and Jin Shixiong in the northwest. When the iron armour army invaded the south of the Yangtze River, the king of gaokaitai took advantage of it. It is reasonable for Jin Shixiong to send troops to Gyeonggi Dao in order to relieve the pressure on the Jin family. Now most of the troops that the imperial court can call are in Yang Jian's hands. The tiger is in the camp on the North Bank of the Yangtze River. Those tens of thousands of soldiers are Yang Jian's reserve team, and it is impossible to be divorced from Yang Jian's men and horses.

Therefore, no one knows how long the horn of the counter offensive can be sounded.

Luo Jiajun camp

After returning from Tonggu academy, Luo TU was in a good mood, but today's rout made him lose all his good mood. Li Qingfeng, who claimed to be the gatekeeper of the Academy, actually inherited the dean's seat, taught him how to swallow heaven. When Zhan Zhetian was unprepared, he absorbed half of Zhan Zhetian's accomplishments and greatly improved his realm.

He can guess why Li Qingfeng arranged this. The first is to win him over and achieve the purpose of cooperation between the academy and Luo Jiajun. Second, Zhan Zhetian must have violated the interests of some people in Tonggu college, so Tonggu college decided to get rid of him. But they wouldn't waste such an overhaul walker, so Li Qingfeng made such a decision from the moment Luo Tu entered the gate of the Academy.

As for why the academy should get rid of exhibition and sky cover, is it still meaningful?

Since witnessing the battle between Luo Yao and the armored general, Luo Tu has understood a truth. Even if he knows how to lead the army, he can't stop the overhaul walker from killing himself. If he wants to succeed, he must grasp both hands at the same time. When he understood this truth, he suddenly thought of the man named Fang Xie. He was surprised to find that the young man seemed to understand this truth a long time ago.

Perhaps it is because Luo Tu has been under Luo Yao's wings for too long, so he is far from seeing through the solution that he fought out from the world of the law of the jungle.

Luo Tu knew that his time was running out. General Tiejia personally led the army south. If he was defeated, Tonggu academy would lose interest in him because he had no use value.

That's why he was angry.

"Little prince, what should I do?"

Duan bianbao asked eagerly.

Duan Bian has changed since he died. He hated the imperial court more than anyone else. He had vowed to tear the armored general to pieces and avenge duanbian bear.

"Don't call me little prince!"

I don't know why, luotu suddenly roared angrily. Duan Bian Bao's face changed and didn't react for a while. Ye Jinnan, who was standing beside him, quietly pulled him, then took a step forward and said, "Lord, now the enemy has camped in the south of the river bank, with that armored army, we have little chance of winning the frontal battle. My subordinates think, do you want to retreat temporarily and give way to the enemy's prosperous edge?"

He removed the small character from his address to luotu, and luotu really didn't continue to be angry.

"Where are you going? Where are you going?"

Luo Tuping asked after replying to his anger. At this time, he was a little confused. He knew that ye Jinnan was the most calm of the top ten Romanians under Luo Yao, so he chose to throw the problem back.

"My subordinates thought..."

Ye Jinnan went to the map, pointed and said, "let's go back here!"

Luo Tu looked at Ye Jinnan's fingers and his eyes immediately changed: "yes, we can only retreat there! We retreat to preserve our strength. As long as I have soldiers in my hand, those people in Jiangnan can't leave me. And retreating there is the bottom line of those people. They won't allow the Xu imperial court to attack that place."

Ye Jinnan's finger points at the position of Tonggu Academy.

Peicheng

Nanyan has a total of 13 big cities, and there are four in the north of Dali. Fengping and Qingyuan are the northernmost. To the south of these two cities is Peicheng. To the south of Peicheng is Jin'an. Dali city is less than 400 miles past Jin'an. Peicheng was a large city gradually expanded after the establishment of the Shang state. Before that, Peicheng was just a small county.

The reason why we want to turn this place into a grand city is that Peicheng is the place of Longxing of the royal family of the Shang state. The ancestral home of Murong family is still intact in Pei city. Whether the current emperor of Nanyan Murong shame is true or false, he must ensure that he pays attention to his ancestral home.

Peicheng has the largest number of troops among the four cities in the north. After the founding of Nanyan, Murong shamed Peicheng as the northern capital, and its political status was second only to Dali city. Since it is the second imperial capital, there are all kinds of Yamen institutions here, but there are not many people left in these yamen when the emperor doesn't come.

Bai Kaishan, the leader of Peicheng, is 60 years old. He is younger than Zhu Butian, but he has the same seniority. The position of the Bai family in Nanyan is almost the same as that of the Zhu family, especially in the south of Dali. When it comes to various forces in Nanyan, the biggest one is the Zhu family, followed by the Zhou family, followed by the Bai family, followed by the Chen family, the Ning family and the Zhao family... The emperor of Nanyan is Murong, but the emperor is very oppressed. The only important surname Murong is Murong yongduo, or grant.

With such complicated forces and such a chaotic situation, the emperor Murong shamed was not practical. In Dali, the emperor's life is the emperor's life. Out of Dali, the value of the imperial order depends on the mood of the city masters.

In particular, Bai Kaishan, as the city master who stayed in Beidu, thought he was higher than other city masters. In addition to being afraid of Feng Ping and Zhu Baotian, he looked down on other city masters. When dealing with Zhengnan, he always called him the last student. He looked down on Ning Hao, the leader of Jin'an city.

The city Lord's residence is located not far from Peicheng palace. In fact, the scale of Peicheng palace is not too large. When it was a big business country, Peicheng had a high status, but as the ancestral land of Murong family, it has greater symbolic significance and less strategic status. After the demise of the great merchant, Murong shamed usurped the throne. In order not to make people doubt the legitimacy of his throne, he made a decree to promote Peicheng to Beidu.

The Imperial Palace was built after Murong shameful ascended the throne. Nan Yan's financial resources are limited, and Murong shameful is just a pretence. Therefore, the scale of the imperial palace built can not be compared with the Imperial Palace in Yongzhou City. Murong shameful never came again except once after the completion of the imperial palace.

However, according to the rules, every day the officials of the six Jiuqing departments still pretend to go to the court and listen to Bai Kaishan's instructions. Beidu stayed behind. In terms of status, it can be regarded as the spokesman of the emperor.

Around such people, there is naturally no lack of a large number of flattering people.

The most influential aide around Bai Kaishan is he Yongzheng. He was originally a professor in a private school. By chance, he joined Bai Kaishan. Because he knows how to please people, his status rose quickly. Although Bai Kaishan didn't give him any prominent official position, people in Peicheng know that he Yongzheng is not his wife who can affect Bai Kaishan most.

When it was getting dark, the back door of he mansion was opened, and several foreigners in royal clothes were welcomed in by the boy. The boy looked out and quickly closed the gate. The one headed by these foreigners is Chen Xiaoru. At this time, he is holding letters written by Zhu Baotian, the leader of Pingcheng city.

Of course, this letter is false.

There are many letters between Fu Zhengnan and Zhu Baotian in Qingyuan City. Fang Xie's men can imitate Fu Zhengnan's handwriting and Zhu Baotian's notes. At this time, Chen Xiaoru's identity is a general under Zhu Baotian.

Before entering the study, Chen Xiaoru stopped to tidy up his clothes, and then went in with the boy. The light in the room was a little dark and he didn't turn on the lamp. Chen Xiaoru knew that the rules of big families were very strict. When to turn on the lamp was dead, and there were restrictions according to the weather of the four seasons.

"I'm a lowly official. Don't send Li Weishan to Pingcheng. I'll see you!"

Chen Xiaoru made a deep bow with a humble attitude.

"Are you a man under Master Zhu?"

The man sitting behind the desk spoke in a very low voice, like holding his voice. Chen Xiaoru smiled and looked up at him. Only then did he find that this man named he Yongzheng would be like this!

It seems that this guy is only in his twenties. He was born like a woman. His skin is white and beautiful, his lips are red and his teeth are white. Although he is a little feminine, he is definitely a beautiful man. It's just that the eyebrows are too thin, the outline of the face is too soft, and the mouth is very small. When talking, I habitually cover my mouth with my cuffs. When he looked at people, he didn't look straight at them, but narrowed his side eyes. However, people didn't feel impolite. On the contrary, he was a little strange... Charming.

"Yes!"

Chen Xiaoru nodded and bowed deeply again: "please save me, sir!"

"Oh?"

He Yongzheng was slightly surprised and asked, "what happened to Feng Ping?"

Chen Xiaoru quickly handed the letter with both hands: "this is the handwritten letter of my city master. Please have a look."

"For me?"

He Yongzheng's tone was obviously incredible, with some joy, some complacency and satisfaction. There is no doubt about Zhu Baotian's position in Nanyan.

"Yes!"

Chen Xiaoru quickly turned back and waved, "bring it up!"

Two men came in carrying a box, put it on the ground, and then respectfully withdrew. Chen Xiaoru walked over and slowly opened the box. There was a layer of treasure in the room. The box is full of treasures. The round and smooth bead on the top emits soft white light. The treasure gas comes from this bead.

"My Lord, Feng Ping is in danger. Please help me!"

Chen Xiaoru said a sincere word and secretly looked at he Yongzheng's face: "the Sui people have surrounded Feng Ping. I Feng Ping's guard can't retreat from the enemy after a bloody battle for many days. It's not easy for me to kill people in my humble position and ask for help, which has damaged most of my hands. I prepared more gifts and lost a lot on the way..."

He Yongzheng was stunned for a moment, then looked at the box of jewelry and sighed slightly: "it's a pity... No, I mean, it's a pity that Feng Ping was surrounded and killed so many soldiers..."
