The Reborn Lao Tzu Is the Emperor

Chapter 1065

Luofu Department of Weichu Prefecture in Dali.

Luofu City.

It was the time when the sun was setting.

But the climate in Dali is quite dry, even at this time, the air still doesn't seem to have much water vapor.

Liu Zhuwen, Miao Cheng, Zhang Hongwei and others led the army to rest in Xinding City for two days, then continued westward, and now they have reached the outside of Luowu City.

As one of the 37 tribes in Dali, the Luofu tribe is much stronger than the Xinding tribe.

Although this Luofu City is not considered a great city, it is not as shabby as Xinding City.The city wall is piled up with green bricks, several meters high, and its thickness is immeasurable.

When Liu Zhuwen and others led the army to stop more than a thousand meters outside Luodun City, they could see that there were many defenders of Luodun's tribe on the top of the city.

Although their military uniforms were far less neat than those of the Dali Forbidden Army, there were no less armored ones.

Many flags with the word "Luo Dong" written on it fluttered on the top of the city.

There are hundreds of catapults on both sides.

This made Zhang Hongwei, who was watching with a telescope, a little surprised, "I didn't expect that such a force could be organized in this mere city of Luoyu."

Liu Zhuwen chuckled beside him, "The strength of the Luowu tribe is not comparable to that of the Xinding tribe, and it is not surprising that there are so many soldiers left to defend the city."

He also raised his binoculars to look at the top of the city, and at the same time continued: "Dang Rufeng Hebi was defeated in Hengshan Village, and the army fled for dozens of miles. Although he suffered countless losses, he still returned with a lot of remnants and defeated generals. He came here in Dali. After we chased him, we didn’t see his army resisting us, presumably even Feng Hebi couldn’t restrain the generals under his command, and they all returned with their own troops.”

However, he noticed that the armor of the defenders on the top of the city was still tattered.

These people should have participated in the previous battle against Song Dynasty.

Back then, Duan Qilin had Wang Ziqian, Feng Hebi, and Chi Fenggu as his commanders.Wang Ziqian surrendered to Song and Chi Fenggu's army alone, but Feng Hebi brought back some troops and horses.

After Liu Zhuwen finished speaking, he seemed to suddenly think of something again, looked at the prince beside him and said, "General Wang Can, it seems that you were leading the Weichu Army at the beginning?"

Wang Ziqian nodded beside him, "Exactly. Back then, Chen Guangbin, the deputy commander of the troops of the Weichu Mansion, brought [-] soldiers and horses of the Weichu Mansion to serve under my command."

"Then do you know the general who was the leader of the Luohu Department at that time?"

A little light flashed across Liu Zhuwen's eyes, and he asked again.

The prince knew the elegant meaning when he heard the strings, and couldn't help chuckling, "The commander wants me to go and persuade the general at the head of the city?"

Liu Zhuwen smiled without saying a word, noncommittal.

He is not the kind of general who likes to fight hard, and he prefers to surrender without fighting.In this regard, both Miao Cheng and Zhang Hongwei are inferior to him.

Miao Cheng is mature, but because of too long time, his thinking will inevitably become rigid, and he is not as wise as Liu Zhuwen.

Zhang Hongwei is calm and good at waiting for opportunities, but he is not used to fighting tough battles.

It was not without reason that Zhao Dongting let Liu Zhuwen be the center of the three.

The prince patted his horse forward.

Sword Fourteen followed closely behind.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone at the top of the city, the two arrived at the bottom of the city.

Wang Ziqian yelled directly at the top of the wall: "I, Wang Ziqian, is King Luo Dong in the city?"

He actually saw King Luo Duck, and he just asked this question on purpose.

King Luo Ding was wearing a Dali official robe, with a hooked nose, and looked quite cold.

He has never seen Wang Zigan, and he has heard the name Wang Zigan.

A general at the top of the city hurried up to him and said in a low voice: "Chief, it is the prince who is here."

This is the general who led the soldiers of Luo Wu and Wang Zigan to conquer the Song Dynasty.

It's just that his status in the army was not too high at that time, and he didn't have much dealings with the coach, Wang Zigan.

King Luo Yu's eyes were gloomy, he nodded slightly, and faced the city, "Prince Qian, you are the commander, but you defected to the enemy Xiang Song! What face do you have to come to the city to call for battle?"

The prince didn't get annoyed, he just said: "I'm not here to fight, but to show you the way, King Luo Duck."

King Luo Yu sneered, "Do you want me to vote for Song like you?"

The prince asked: "King Luo Yu, do you think the soldiers in your city can stop the imperial army of the Song Dynasty?"

King Luoqu said: "My Luoqu tribe is full of warriors who are not afraid of death. If you want to attack the city, you will know if you come and try."

When Wang Zigan heard the words, a little disdain flashed in his eyes.

If King Luo Yu really had such courage as he said in his words, he would not have chosen to surrender to Dali at the beginning, and honestly transferred half of the defenders in the tribe to the Dali Forbidden Army, and he would not have let him in later. The general led the defenders to fight against the Song Dynasty with his prince.

To put it bluntly, he has already become Duan Qilin's minion, how can he say that all of them are warriors who are not afraid of death?
If they were all warriors who are not afraid of death, they should have directly confronted Duan Xingzhi in the first place.

Only these words, Wang Zigan would not say it.

He also knew what King Luo Yu was thinking in his mind when he acted like this.

It's nothing more than trying to save face, and then trying to get Da Song to agree to some conditions.For example, let him continue to be in charge of the Luohu Department.

He had to give this step to King Luo Duck.Otherwise, it might really make it difficult for King Luo Duck to ride a tiger, resulting in a situation of endless death.

Wang Ziqian looked at King Luoqu, and shouted again: "Zigan also heard that King Luoqu is the most capable general in Dali, but doesn't King Luoqu think about the people in this city?"

King Luoqu said: "They are all the people of our Luoqu tribe, so they should fight for our Luoqu tribe! I don't need to say more about such nonsense."

Wang Ziqian smiled, "King Luo Yu is so courageous, Wang admires him! Now that the king of Dali is fleeing north, the general situation is a foregone conclusion, Wang still hopes that Luo Yu Wang will make more decisions, and Wang can promise on behalf of the army commander to break the city." From now on, I will not embarrass the generals in the city, let alone harass the people. Just pass through the city, and then go to the capital."

Many people in the city were slightly moved.

The hook-nosed King Luo Qu narrowed his eyes slightly.

Just as Wang Ziqian expected, in fact, he didn't have the confidence or courage to resist the imperial army of Song Dynasty at all.

He made such an appearance at the top of the city that he swore to defend the city to the death, he really just wanted Song Jun to agree to some conditions for him.

Wang Ziqian said just now that he would not embarrass the generals in the city, which of course moved his heart.

However, this has not met his expectations.

After pondering for a while, King Luo Qu said again: "Is it really just passing through the city?"

Prince Qian nodded and said: "It's really just an excuse to pass through the city. I just hope that it would be better for King Luo Duck to provide us with some food and grass. In the future, Da Song will never forget King Luo Duck's righteous deed."

King Luo Duck remained silent.

The prince waited for tens of seconds, and then patted Jian Shishi back to the army ranks.

He knew that King Luo Yu must be weighing in his heart.

"General Wang."

And he had just returned to the front of the army, Liu Zhuwen said with a smile: "It seems that King Luowu still wants to continue to be the king of his Luowu tribe. Why don't you just promise him directly?"

The prince said dryly: "It's harmless for the last general to turn his back on what he says, but if you promise him before the army, it will ruin Song's reputation in the future."

Of course he knew that after the army captured the capital of Dali, it was impossible for the emperor to let the leaders of the various tribes like King Luofu continue to divide and rule.

After all, even an emperor like Duan Xingzhi took the knife against these tribes in the end.But the current Emperor Song is much more ambitious than Duan Xingzhi.

Liu Zhuwen nodded slightly, "It's not in a hurry. As long as we take down the capital of Dali first, we still have time to make these guys bow their heads."

He didn't take people like King Luo Qu very seriously.

The soldiers of the whole country in Dali were beaten to pieces by the imperial army of the Great Song Dynasty. What kind of waves can these tribes whose strength is far from that of the Dali royal family make waves?

Even Duan Xingzhi was able to suppress these tribal leaders before, Liu Zhuwen didn't think the emperor would have no way to deal with them.

Time passed slowly.

The imperial guards of the Great Song Dynasty stood quietly outside the city. There was no sound in the army, but the killing intent never abated.

This is an army honed through hard training and bloody fighting, and it should be the best in the world.

After more than ten minutes, the gate of Luofu City finally opened slowly.

After all, King Luo Yu was moved by Wang Zigan's ambiguous words.

Although he didn't know whether what the prince said was a promise to continue to be the King of Luo Duck, but in front of so many people, he couldn't ask him clearly.

That would make the soldiers at the head of the city and the people in the city feel that he was too selfish.

And the only ones that King Luofu could rely on from the beginning to the end were the soldiers and common people of the Luoqu tribe.

It is also his choice in desperation to settle for the second best.

Da Song made another victory.
