Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Li Wuji squeezed Ma Shan tightly and gritted his teeth. Damn it, Luo Yi was discovered by him. An unstoppable murderous intention arose in Li Wuji's heart. He shouted loudly: "Pass my order.  Mobilize 3,000 iron guards to besiege Luo Yi's house, kill them regardless of age!"

    "Your Highness!"

    Staff Qian Rong ran over in a panic, "Your Highness, please calm down, the Sui army is outside the city, and now there is internal strife in the Tang army, something big will happen!"

    Li Wuji was furious, and Ma Shan pointed at him, "When Luo Yixian surrenders, will there be no big trouble?"

    Qian Rong was speechless. He sighed deeply in his heart and lowered his head. He did not dare to say any more. He could not tell which was right or wrong, which was more serious. If he did not kill, Luo Yi would surrender.  Even if Luo Yi is killed, he will also surrender.

    What's more important is that King Qi had murderous intentions towards Luo Yi from the beginning, but now that he has found an excuse, he is not willing to let him go. Qian Rong has no choice but to let King Qi go.

    Li Wuji strode out of the Yamen with his arms in hand. Three thousand iron guards were already assembled. This was an escort composed of three thousand strong soldiers he selected from the Hanzhong garrison. Most of them were Guanzhong soldiers. They had just become Huili the day before yesterday. They were all uniformed.  The cavalry consists of three of his bodyguards serving as generals.

    Three thousand cavalry gathered in the street in a dark crowd. Li Wuji got on his horse, raised his spear and shouted loudly: "Luo Yi rebelled against the Tang Dynasty, sons and daughters, follow me to kill the traitor!"

    Three thousand cavalry launched together with great momentum and followed Li Wuji towards Luo Yifu.

    Luo Yi¡¯s residence is located in the north of the city, close to Beidaying, and only a few hundred steps away from the North City Gate. In the north of the city, Luo Yi has gathered thousands of soldiers. While he sent people to report the news to the Sui army, he continued to gather troops.

    Luo Yi no longer had any intention of procrastinating. He knew better than anyone else that Li Wuji wanted to kill him and he could not defend himself. In this critical situation, Li Yuan would only listen to his son's side of the story and would never give himself a chance to defend himself.  At that time, there was no way out except surrendering to the Sui Dynasty.

    The north city gate has been opened wide, and the city is covered with white flags of surrender. The sudden sound of horse hooves in the city is like the beating of war drums. Luo Yi shouted loudly: "The small white formation of bows and crossbows is ready!"

    Two thousand crossbowmen lined up, densely filling the streets, and the city was also covered with a thousand soldiers. As the thunderous sound of horse hooves got closer, Li Wuji led three thousand iron guards to rush to the intersection.  , he already knew that Luo Yi was not in the mansion and went to the north gate. The war horse turned around and rushed toward the north gate like a tsunami rushing into the city.

    Luo Yi looked at the cavalry that was getting closer and closer with cold eyes. He had already entered the shooting range. He shouted, "Shoot!"

    Thousands of arrows were shot out at the same time, and the arrows shot towards the cavalry like a storm. The cavalry who had no way to hide howled, and instantly they fell to the ground. Corpses were everywhere. Li Wuji was in the middle of the team, holding a large shield in his hand.  His eyes were red as he fell down in a large area, and he shouted wildly: "Rush up and cut Luo Yi into pieces with a thousand knives!"

    The cavalry charged again. At this time, another round of dense arrows came. The cavalry team was ready and raised their shields one after another. The number of cavalry hit by arrows was greatly reduced. Luo Yi saw that the bows and arrows could no longer intercept the cavalry, so he ordered again, "  The pikemen come out!"

    Three thousand spearmen rushed forward and collided with the cavalry. The crossbowmen also changed their spears and surrounded and killed more than 2,500 cavalry from all sides.  A bloody fight broke out inside the door

    At this time, the Sui army was outside the Eight Key Points, waiting for changes in Nanzheng City as if watching fire from across the bank. However, the Sui army soldiers did not set up camp or disband to rest. Instead, they were fully armored and lined up in the wilderness waiting for the order to attack.

    Xu Shiji had a strong intuition that the conflict between Luo Yi and Qi Wang Li Wuji had intensified, and the final break between them could not last tonight, and the two would inevitably engage in a life-and-death fight.

    Marching Sima Yao Jindong smiled at the side and said: "General manager, I feel that a fierce battle has begun between them. With King Qi's impatient character, he will not give Luo Yi time to regain military power, and will definitely strike first."

    Xu Shiji sneered, "Soldiers say, you should trust the people you employ, but not the people you doubt. Since Li Yuan didn't trust Luo Yi, he shouldn't have appointed him as the general manager of Hanzhong from the beginning, and only ordered his son to seize power at the most critical moment. This  Can Luo Yi swallow it?"

    "Does the manager mean that Li Wuji seizes power? Is this Li Yuan's intention?"

    Xu Shiji nodded, "If it wasn't Li Yuan's intention, how could Li Wuji get the Emperor's Sword above?"

    Yao Jindong also sighed, "That's why Your Highness said that the defeat of the Tang Dynasty was actually due to Li Yuan's employment. This statement is not true!"

    At this moment, a soldier suddenly pointed at the top of the city and shouted: "General Manager, the white flag has been replaced on the top of the city."

    Xu Shiji also saw it, and everything on the city was replaced by whiteThe flag cheered him up. He turned around and shouted: "Get ready to fight!"

    The soldiers of the Sui Army were in a commotion, cheering up and gearing up one by one, eager to try. At this time, a Tang Army cavalry galloped over and was stopped by the Sui Army patrol. After interrogation, they brought him to Xu Shiji. The Tang Army cavalry knelt down on one knee and tilled the tiller.  Report, "The King of Qi wanted to kill General Luo, and a civil war broke out between the two armies in the city. General Luo was willing to surrender to Sui Ping and asked for the support of the Sui army."

    After saying that, the Tang Army cavalry took out a letter and presented it. It was Xu Shiji's autographed letter to Luo Yi last night. This is the best token. Xu Shiji took the letter and thought for a moment, then turned around and ordered!  "Is General Shengyu here?"

    A general said in response, "The general is here!"

    "You can lead five thousand cavalry to the North City to investigate the situation. If there is indeed an internal strife in the city, you can immediately occupy the North City Gate and report to me in time!"

    ¡°I humble my duty and obey my orders!¡±

    General Lu Li led five thousand cavalry towards the north city. At this time, Xu Shiji's eyes were full of expectations. Sure enough, he was going to attack the enemy. This counter-insurgency strategy was done so beautifully. This Wang Jian has made a great contribution!  Please ask Your Highness to make him the prefect.

    ¡­¡­

    The city was already in chaos. A fierce battle broke out between more than 7,000 troops loyal to Luo Yi and nearly 10,000 troops loyal to Li Wuji. The war was not limited to the North City. The East City and South City were also in fierce fighting. In the melee, the soldiers  They took the opportunity to break into houses, plunder property, and rape women. The situation in the city reached extreme chaos.

    Among them, the melee in the North City was the most brutal. Reinforcements from both sides came from all over the city and joined the battle. Nearly 8,000 people fought in the North City. The shouts of killing were loud. Corpses lay everywhere in the streets and open spaces in the North City, and blood flowed.  Chenghe, thousands of soldiers were killed in the melee, and more than half of the three thousand iron guards were killed or injured.

    Although Li Wuji was extremely brave, he was still hit by two arrows in the melee, one of which hit his left leg, causing him to almost fall off the horse. At this moment, a bloodied general rushed over and shouted:  "Your Highness! The Sui army has entered outside the city."

    This news shocked Li Wuji. He turned back and looked at the North City Gate. He saw that the North City Gate controlled by Luo Yi had been opened wide. Hundreds of Sui Army cavalry had entered the city. They were completely different from the Tang Army.  The speed and fierceness, the strong will to kill the enemy, makes people shudder.

    Li Wuji was desperate. He originally wanted to kill Luo Yi as quickly as possible and reorganize the army, but he didn't expect that the situation was getting more and more serious and the war was getting more and more intense. No!  This is not his responsibility, this is the consequences of Luo Yi's surrender to the Sui Dynasty. He tried his best to save it, but failed.

    "Come with me!"

    Li Wuji roared loudly, turned his horse's head and ran towards the west. More than a thousand cavalrymen left the battlefield and fled along the street towards the west gate. On top of the city, Luo Yi had already drawn an arrow and aimed it at Li Wuji's back.  Song, an arrow shot out like lightning, hitting Li Wuji's back. Li Wuji shouted, threw away his long spear and rolled off his horse. His guards tried their best to rescue him, and rushed out of the west city desperately, running to the north.

    Half an hour later, as 30,000 Sui troops entered Nanzheng City, the internal strife in Nanzheng City finally ended. This internal strife lasted for more than an hour, with more than 10,000 soldiers and civilians dead and injured.  Not to mention countless, the whole city was dyed red with blood, corpses were strewn all over the ground, it was so horrific that Xu Shiji couldn't help but sigh.

    Luo Yi was also covered in blood. He knelt down on one knee and said, "The guilty minister Luo Yi is willing to surrender to the Sui Dynasty and serve the Sui Dynasty."

    Xu Shiji did not dismount and help Luo Yi. This internal strife could be completely avoided. If Luo Yi was willing to surrender last night, then these soldiers and ordinary people would not die on the streets. This Luo Yi did not really want to surrender, but had to do so.  surrender.

    Thinking of this, Xu Shiji snorted loudly, pointed his riding whip at Luo Yi, and ordered around, "Tie him up and kill him!"

    A dozen Sui soldiers seized Luo Yi like wolves and tigers, and tied him up. Luo Yi shouted: "General Xu, I obeyed your words and surrendered the city, why did you kill me?"

    "Hmph! You didn't surrender sincerely, but you were forced to surrender in Kaicheng. If you had surrendered earlier, would so many soldiers and civilians have died?"

    Luo Yi was scolded until he was speechless and lowered his head. At this time, Yao Jindong stepped forward and begged: "Manager, General Luo can't help himself. He is willing to surrender. This is a meritorious service. If the merits are equal to the faults, please spare him."  !¡±

    The generals came forward to plead for mercy, and Xu Shiji said coldly: "For the sake of everyone's pleading, I will spare your death so that you can be loyal to the imperial court. You will naturally have a future. If you dare to have ulterior motives or have different intentions, I will need your head."  !¡±

    After saying that, Xu Shiji waved his hand and said, "Untie him!"

    The soldiers let go of Luo Yi, and Luo Yi felt resentful and regretful. He regretted that he was the dignified general manager of Youzhou, but he was killed by a late man.He learned a lesson and almost lost his life. His regret is that he should have surrendered to the Sui Dynasty if he had known it would happen today. Now he is also the general manager of the party.

    Luo Yi was dissatisfied, but did not dare to show it. He could only lower his head and said: "Thank you General Xu for not killing!"

    Xu Shiji waved his hand and ordered his generals: "To appease the people, we must not disturb them any more. All prisoners of war who rob property or rape civilian women will be beheaded!"

    "Follow your orders!"

    The generals were busy one after another. Outside the city, as Gao Zikai sent troops to occupy various passes, this meant that Hanzhong fell into the hands of the Sui army.

    The fall of Hanzhong completely cut off the connection between Bashu and Guanzhong, and also cut off the Tang Dynasty's retreat. The time for the decisive battle between the Sui and Tang Dynasties gradually matured. As Hanzhong was occupied by the Sui army, the decisive battle between the Sui and Tang Dynasties officially kicked off.
