The third emperor of the Sui Dynasty

Chapter 485 The Strange Man
Luo Shixin and Li Zhengbao originally thought that they would have to fight a bloody battle with corpses strewn all over the field in order to take down the Tang Army's warehouse near Luoyang. Unexpectedly, just as the two called their generals to discuss the battle plan, the scouts came A very absurd news, a moment ago, scouts found a group of soldiers from the Tang Army escorting more than a dozen Taoist priests around Lu's, heading for the warehouse.

The generals looked at each other in blank dismay, everyone thought it was ridiculous and ridiculous!The two armies of the Sui and Tang Dynasties have been confronting each other for nearly a month. The nearby people were afraid that the flames of war would harm them. So, why did Tang Jun ask Taoist priests to go to the barracks?What can priests do?Could it be that they can summon wind and rain and move mountains and seas?This is obviously impossible.

"Could it be that Tang Jun asked Taoist priests to observe the sky to determine whether the weather is cloudy or not?" Li Zhengbao said uncertainly.

Luo Shixin, who was puzzled, suddenly changed his face, as if thinking of some joint, he stood up hurriedly, and asked loudly: "How many people are there in the Tang army? Have you cut them all down?"

"Back to the general!" The scout team who came to report said very proudly: "There are hundreds of Tang troops, but we caught them off guard and shot a few Tang troops who were trying to escape into a hornet's nest with a strong crossbow. The rest were frightened by the force of the crossbow, and they all knelt and surrendered in fright, and none of them could escape."

"Great job!" Luo Shi praised confidently, and said solemnly: "Your contributions have played a key role in this war. You should be the first in this battle. After the war is over, I invite the Holy One I will reward you personally."

This battle has a lot to do with it, but these scouts are like a timely help, bringing an opportunity to defeat the enemy. Luo Shixin thinks that no amount of rewards can be overstated. The mere "reward from the Holy One himself" is nothing at all, and he doesn't think there is anything unusual about the face-to-face saint .

When the scout team heard the words, they were overjoyed and jumped up excitedly. Yang Tong had the ultimate prestige in the army, and he was an unattainable and sacred thing in the eyes of the soldiers at the bottom.His personal award is undoubtedly a great honor to honor his ancestors, and Luo Shixin is Yang Tong's confidant and beloved general, he is a heroic man, and he keeps his promises. His words are completely credible, excited for a long time, and said loudly: "Thank you, General!"

"Okay, now you bring me Tang Jun, the principal."

"Here!" The scout team retreated happily.

With the good news brought by the scouts, Luo Shixin had a new battle plan. He didn't even bother to start the meeting, and after summoning a group of fierce personal soldiers to line up the two sides of the tent, he just sat in the tent and waited. .

All the generals now know what they are going to do this time, and understand the meaning of this battle. They are all excited, but Luo Shixin suddenly stopped talking, and they don't understand what the general Luo has planned. A bunch of people are sitting dry.But after a long time, all the generals are familiar with Luo Shixin's temper. This guy is really good at taking opinions, but there is a premise. Once he has an idea to win, then you have to follow his routine meticulously. If you He chattered endlessly, messing up his thinking. He ran around the barracks for twenty laps before arguing with him. The theory was that it was nothing if he won. If he lost, he would run another twenty laps and copy the military laws and regulations twenty times. .

Naturally, Yang Tong knew Luo Shixin's style of play, but he didn't interfere with it: First, every general has his own fighting style, forcibly interfering will only suppress his personality, which is counterproductive; second, the general must have the authority of general Yinghu, otherwise , unable to convince the generals and many leaders under his command; third, being decisive and decisive is the most basic quality of a general. If you listen to the opinions of your subordinates in every detail, you will become indecisive and have no assertiveness over time.Yang Tong felt that a general should have individuality in commonness, which can be acquired through education and learning, but individuality is innate. If Luo Shixin becomes well-behaved one day and disappears from the crowd, Yang Tong would not dare to let him be alone. Lead troops to fight.

Now none of the generals and schools present were getting electrocuted, and one or two just closed their eyes and meditated, some simulated the battle in their minds, and some thought about how to do it to get the most combat exploits with the least casualties, just sitting like this After nearly half an hour, there was finally movement outside the tent.

A group of scouts opened the curtain and threw five soldiers of the Tang army tied up like zongzi to the ground. The leader of the team cupped his hands and said, "General, the young general has returned. These five are the leaders of the bandit army." , a brigade commander, and four team leaders."

Everyone was surprised when they heard this.The Tang inherited the Sui system, and so did the military system. Earlier, the scout team was saying that the Tang army they intercepted had hundreds of people, which happened to form a brigade, and a brigade commander fit the establishment. If it was divided into two, it would become two 50-man teams. It stands to reason that there are only two team leaders, but there are four team leaders here, which is a bit strange.

Luo Shixin nodded, looking past the soldiers of his own army, and stared at the Tang Jun dressed as a brigade commander. This man's armor was scattered and his hair was in a loose bun, as if he had been bitten by a dog. Seeing Luo Shixin, his eyes showed a look of horror , this person looked much more miserable than those teams. He must have put up a stubborn resistance and caused some trouble to the scouts, and he was dealt with severely afterward. Luo Shixin was still a pawn. He also often did this from time to time, which is normal. Seeing that the other party was really panicked, he didn't even threaten, and asked, "Tell me, what's your name? Where are you taking those Taoist priests?"

The brigade commander was still in shock, and saw many soldiers of the Sui army staring at him coldly, his teeth chattered in fright, and he shook out the whole truth: "The villain's name is Guan De, and he was born in Zhang and Zhang Liang. Under the command of the general, he took the position of brigade commander, and was ordered by the general to bring the Taoist priests into the storage area... I, we are not going to be enemies with the Sui army, we didn't know that the Lu family would only come out because of the Sui army..."

The underlying meaning is undoubtedly: If they know that Lu family has Sui army, they will not come out if they are killed.

Luo Shixin understood that because the Sui army had not moved for so many days, and in order not to startle the enemy, they deliberately removed many light and dark sentries, which made Lu's Tang army relax.

This is really God helping me, Luo Shixin almost looked up to the sky and laughed, but in order to maintain his image, he had to hold back, he asked in a muffled voice: "So, you can freely enter and leave the warehouse?"

"Maybe it can be counted... Yes, but there will be someone to respond. If the person who is connected to the wrong person, or who does not have an access token, will not be allowed to enter... You have to pair up in twos..." Guan De vaguely guessed With Luo Shixin's hard work, his voice gradually weakened.

Luo Shixin asked again: "Where is your pass token?"

"I'm afraid I'll lose it, so I'm hiding in a tree hole outside the Luoshui camp." Guan De mistakenly thought that Luo Shixin was going to kill him, and said with a bit of tears in his voice, "Don't kill me, general, I've been back and forth many times, The defenders of the Luoshui camp and General Li both recognize me, and if the general kills me, even if he gets a suspension, he won’t be able to open the gate of the camp.”

Luo Shixin signaled his soldiers to untie him, and said in a gentle voice, "I never thought of killing you. I see that you have a flexible mind and a heart of love for talents. You can make an exception and promote you as a general."

When the generals heard this, they all almost laughed.

In fact, the official system in the Sui Dynasty was quite strict, especially the promotion in the army. General Lang was the deputy general of Qianrenweili, and his status was second only to General Yingyang Lang. They have the right to recommend, but not the right to appoint. Only those who pass the examination can enter the three-month internship period. If they fail to pass, they will be sent back to the original army.So Luo Shixin is completely deceiving people, but bragging doesn't cost money.After hanging out with that bastard Cheng Yaojin, he discovered that being shameless actually has the benefits of being shameless.

Guan De felt incredible: "Is there such a good thing?"

Luo Shixin said seriously: "You are so smart, do you think I can fool you?"

Guan De foolishly smiled: "That's true!"

Everyone: "..."

"..." Luo Shidao said, "I can make you a general, but the premise is that you bring us into the camp disguised as Tang soldiers."

Luo Shixin didn't want to talk nonsense anymore, if this Guan De didn't know good from bad, don't blame him for turning his face.Unexpectedly, after Guan De heard this, he didn't even think about it, he stood up straight away, wiped away his tears, and looked at Luo Shixin with hopeful eyes: "Then when are we going to leave?"

"..."

There was a sudden silence in the tent. Everyone stared at the Tang army brigade commander, all of them looked like they had seen a ghost. After all, you are also a middle- and lower-level military officer, why are you so unscrupulous?

Luo Shixin didn't know until today that a person can be ashamed to such a level, and even once suspected that this guy was lured by Zhang Liang, the chief general of the Lu family. A relatively powerful character, but seeing Guan De's simple and sincere appearance, he doesn't quite look like him.He felt that he had to keep this person, and then sent him to Cheng Yaojin's command, and let that guy know what it means to be a strong man. A mountain is higher than a mountain. He coughed lightly, and asked again: "Listen Your accent seems to be from the south of the Yangtze River, how did you become a soldier of the Tang Army, tell me about your experience."

Luo Shixin couldn't believe him, and began to question him.

"General, the villain is originally from Wu County. He has a house and a field at home, and his life is boundless. Who knows that Liu Yuanjin responded to Yang Xuangan and rebelled. The villain was forced to be a thief. Liu Yuanjin was later annihilated by Wang Shichong. Wang Ren saw that the villain was very happy. If he was capable, he was included in the Jianghuai Army, and so he came to Luoyang; during the battle with the Wagang bandits, the villain unfortunately fell into the hands of the bandits and became a soldier of General Shan Xiongxin. , the villain fell into the Yuwen army again, and became a prisoner until Yu Wenhuaji, Yuwen Zhiji fought among themselves, and served under the command of General Wang Bodang! But Luokou City fell later..."

"You went back to Wang Shichong's army again. After Wang Shichong died, you became Tang's army...Is that so?"

"That's it!" Guan De nodded, and said: "The villain was originally a citizen of the Great Sui Dynasty, but after going around a lot, he became a member of the Great Sui Dynasty again."

Everyone: "..."

This guy's experience is not without twists and turns, and it is not without richness. Everyone doesn't know whether he is lucky or not... Except for the time he went to Yuhuahua and the prisoner camp, this guy has always played in the main battle Under the general's command... But he has gone around so many times and fought for so many years, and he is still alive. It has to be said that he is a miracle.It's just that most of the doubts about him have been eliminated. A person with such a brilliant experience is undoubtedly a veteran who immediately surrendered when he saw that the situation was not going well. The reason why the scouts made him so miserable is probably not stubborn Instead of resisting, he ran away desperately, and the scouts had to use up all their strength to catch him, so they naturally dealt with him angrily.

There are actually quite a few people in troubled times. They are like rootless weeds. They have no idea of ​​who they are loyal to, and they don’t have much sense of belonging.And the naive look of this guy in front of him is easy to make people feel good and trust him.If he hadn't known about his 'brilliant' past, Luo Shixin would have doubted that he would have been deceived by him once he got along with him for a long time.

"Where did those Taoist priests come from? What did you take them for?"

"They are Taoist priests of Ziyun Temple. The leader is Zongyang Zhenren. They are good at divination. They have an inseparable relationship with General Li Junxian. General Zhang Liang has met this person many times and respects him very much."

"The majestic general, you actually believe the words of the sorcerer..." Luo Shixin couldn't help shaking his head, and after he finished speaking, he asked the prisoners of Pure Land to take him down.

"General, is it possible that there is no other way but to let this guy open the gate of the camp?" Li Zhengbao asked shortly after the captives went down.

Luo Shixin hesitated for a while: "Other than that, we have only one way to attack... We do have 1 more troops than the Tang Army, which has important storage, but don't forget that our enemies are not only the Lu family, so we cannot afford heavy casualties; Secondly, there may be other ways, but the problem is that we can't think of a better way now, and we don't have time to think twice. Since we can't attack by force, can't afford to wait, and have no other way, we can only trust Guan De once , use him to defraud the camp."

Luo Shixin didn’t really care about the Tang army’s chief general Zhang Liang and deputy general Li Junxian who were stationed in warehouses. In his opinion, this person was just a little capable. There is no outstanding performance, and under the military system of the puppet Tang Dynasty, it seems that there is no chance to perform.Luo Shixin has been in the army for many years and is a veteran general with illustrious military exploits. How can he look up to a man like Zhang Liang who has a little fame but no achievements?
