Chapter 920 Fang La: Your Highness King Yan, the country is yours now!

"Get out!"

In the Wu army camp outside Luoyang City, Fang La watched the secret report from the scouts, his pupils dilated rapidly, and then murderous intent appeared in his eyes, and he looked at the scouts who were half kneeling on the ground.

But he didn't do anything in the end, but waved his hands, and after the scouts withdrew, his expression quickly returned to normal, and he said, "Go and call Shi Bao and Zheng Biao."

Among the four marshals, he trusted Shi Bao the most.

But only asking Shi Bao to come alone, and not letting Li Tianrun, Si Xingfang, and Pang Wanchun go with him, would be eye-catching, so among the many generals, Zheng Biao, who is relatively trustworthy, was selected, so that the account entry seemed much more normal.

Shi Bao and Zheng Biao quickly took orders to come forward, their brows were full of exhaustion, it was obvious that the siege during this period had consumed a lot of energy.

Although Luoyang is far less impenetrable than Xiangyang, the defenders have a huge advantage. The Wu army has suffered heavy losses these days and still has not achieved significant results.

Fang La's heart sank when he saw it, and he handed over the secret report: "Take a look."

Shi Bao looked at it first, and immediately widened his eyes, and couldn't help exclaiming: "The Western Army is gone... how is that possible!"

After Zheng Biao already knew what was going on, he took it over and looked at it again, and couldn't help being extremely astonished: "Your Majesty, is this a fake news spread by Yan Ting? Jingdong has turned the world upside down, how could it die and fall?"

Song Ting's [-] elite western troops approached Bianliang, which had already spread throughout Fang La's army and greatly boosted morale.

Many people who were oppressed by the government in the past may not be willing if they are recruited by the imperial court to negotiate a peace alliance with the imperial court, but there is no reason to refuse such a tacit military alliance now.

Because this proves from the side why the enemy's defense along the west of Beijing is so weak. Obviously, more Yan troops are going to defend Bianliang.

The best development is that the battle around Bianliang must last for a long time. After all, no matter how weak the Western Army is, it will still be the Western Army, the strongest elite of the imperial court. Putting up the flag of Great Wu, you can also lay down the defense line, waiting for the Yan army's offensive with ease.

As a result, before the first step was completed, the allied forces were gone...

It's so fast that people wonder if it's a fake military situation!
"It can't be fake. In fact, the news from all parties these days is already very wrong!"

Fang La spoke slowly.

In terms of military ability, he is far inferior to Zhe Keshi and Zhong Shi, but he also has a bit of a strategic vision for the overall situation, and he can detect something bad when he hits it.

Because Yan Ting did not rush to mobilize soldiers at all, all parties were very quiet.If you don't look at Jingxi Road, but only look at the situation in Hebei, East and even Yanyun, you would think that there is no war in Yanjing at all...

Fang La is good at manipulating people's hearts. This time, when the national power is inferior to the opponent's, if he wants to win, it is not only a confrontation on the frontal battlefield, but also spreading news to shake the hearts of the people and make the opponent mess up.

As a result, none of the follow-up measures of these preparations were used, and they died in the city.

This rhythm is very familiar, so familiar that it is just replacing Xiangyang with Luoyang...

The uneasiness in his heart became more and more intense. After seeing the secret report, Fang La gave up his last chance and said bluntly to his two confidants: "I'm afraid we have fallen into the Yan army's trick to lure the enemy in."

Shi Bao was very puzzled: "The supply of food, grass and supplies in the rear is normal, and all the main roads are guarded by elites, and there are even Sichuan and Shu as alliances. How can this lure the enemy to go deep?"

Zheng Biao said: "When the Yan army first captured Bianliang and went south to Xiangyang, tens of thousands of Western troops surrendered. I am afraid they used similar methods this time. Don't worry about it, Your Majesty!"

Fang La first answered Shi Bao's question: "If you want to take it, you must give it to you. We have suffered repeated setbacks in the city of Xiangyang, and we are going northward. Hope is getting higher and higher. Of course, we will not suspect that there is a fake, let alone believe that there is a fake." !"

Then broke Zheng Biao's extravagant hopes: "With the two old generals of Zhezhong, how could the Western Army be recruited by the Yan Army at will? Then Zhao Song died long ago, so there is no need to wait until now!"

Seeing the ugly faces of the two, Fang La sighed and said, "It is useless to analyze the reasons now, the key is what to do next! General Zheng, go south to Xiangyang quickly, find Wang Shangshu, and ensure that our army's retreat is smooth , and then remind the Shu army to be careful..."

Zheng Biao took the order: "Yes!"

"Going right now!"

Fang La waved his hands, watched him walk out, and then turned to Shi Bao: "The news of the defeat of the Western Army must not be spread among the army, but it cannot be concealed blindly. This king will give you [-] elite soldiers." , guarding the main road..."

There is no complete Luoyang Eight Passes in Luoyang now, even the Hulao Pass is useless, and many other passes have been abandoned. This kind of division is obviously a way to survive. It is dangerous to fight for the survival of large troops. , So at the end of Fang La's speech, there was pain in his tone.

Shi Bao did not hesitate: "I will live up to the king's trust!"

Fang La's lips trembled: "How can I be so loyal to me... Sigh, go!"

Shi Bao clasped his fists resolutely, turned and left.

Fang La took a deep breath, did not give up hope, and arranged tasks one by one according to his judgment of the loyalty of the generals.

After several hours, Zheng Biao went back and forth, and brought back Wang Yin.

"Wang Shangshu, why did you come here directly?"

Fang La turned pale with shock. Compared with Shi Bao's military talents, Wang Yin's military skills are the key to the stability of the rear. How could he rush northward?

Wang Yin rode directly to the north on a thousand-mile horse. On the way, he met Zheng Biao, who was also light and easy, but refused to tell him the reason. At this time, seeing Fang La's eyes turned red, he was speechless.

When Fang La saw Zheng Biao, she immediately gave Zheng Biao a look and asked him to go out to guard, and then led Wang Yin into the back tent, and said in a low voice, "What happened?"

Wang Yin took a deep breath, and said succinctly: "The King of Yan went on his own expedition. He defeated the Western Army first, and then destroyed the Shu Army. The troops from Xiangyang came out. The King of Shu was enjoying himself on a boat on the Han River, and he was directly captured alive by him!"

The news was like a thunderbolt from the blue, shaking Fang La's body, but it also made him understand everything: "No wonder the Western Army suffered such a disastrous defeat...So it's so...So it's so..."

After muttering in a low voice, he looked at Wang Yin and said sadly: "The three thousand elites that this king left for you..."

Wang Yin lowered his head.

Fang La knew that the ending was nothing more than death and death, and with a slight sway of his body, doubts flashed in his eyes.

Wang Yin has always been brave. Before guarding Jiangling Mansion, which was easy to attack and difficult to defend, the difficulties did not allow the Song army to go down the city. Now that all the generals have been wiped out, he can go north alone on a fast horse without any damage?

Fang La didn't want to doubt this most loyal subordinate, but no matter what he thought, something was wrong, he moved his feet, and when he reached the side of the guard, he asked in a deep voice, "How did you escape?"

Wang Yin bowed down: "It was the king of Yan who released... let the minister go north to persuade him to surrender..."

Fang La's complexion changed drastically, and she jumped in front of Wang Yin again, roaring: "How can you be so confused? If the King of Yan doesn't kill me, can he still let me serve as an official for him? I must be imprisoned in Yanjing's mansion, After he ascends the throne, he can confer a title at will!"

"I'm originally from the south. How can I stand the bitter cold weather in the north and live in fear all day long? How can I live for a few more years? Rather than dying like a wimp, it's better to die in battle. It's also vigorous!"

Wang Yin hurriedly said: "King of Yan knows that His Majesty does not want to be subordinate to him, nor is he willing to be an idler trapped in Yanjing. He has made it clear that he is willing to let Wang Shangyuan go overseas and make further achievements..."

Fang La was stunned: "Walking overseas... You also believe this kind of words... This is what King Yan told you personally?"

Wang Yindao: "The minister is just begging for mercy, how to arrange the king is what he said himself!"

Fang La fell silent, and said after a while: "You will pass by, tell me the details!"

Wang Yin recounted what he saw in detail, especially emphasizing that Yang Tianwang had a different fate, and finally said in a low voice: "King Yan's golden words should not be deceived. Now that the retreat has been lost, I really want to There is no chance of winning, so I made such a bad move..."

Fang La waved his hand: "This is not a bad idea, and I don't blame you... You have repeatedly committed taboos, and it's all for my consideration. How can I be so loyal to me as you are..."

Thinking of this, Fang La had just spoken to Shi Bao not long ago, heaved a long sigh, went to the table and wrote an imperial edict, stamped with the military seal: "Give it to General Shi quickly, and let him lead the army back, don't go back again." Conflict with the Yan army, let the sons and daughters die in vain!"

Wang Yin's eyes turned red: "Your Majesty!!"

"Let's call me Shenggong. Although it is exaggerated, it sounds more pleasant than the king..."

Fang La smiled bitterly, showing the color of memories: "Do you still remember that before I sent troops to attack Xiangyang for the first time, I once said that the King of Yan occupies the land of the Central Plains and lives in the Palace of Yanjing. Prestige! But this person may have long forgotten that he also fought in various fields back then, and he took the lead to achieve today's glory, so it is up to me to make contributions and rule the south..."

"I was wrong. The King of Yan has not forgotten that this personal expedition involves danger. You don't need to do anything, and you can be a million soldiers!"

"I'm not wronged!"

At the end, Fang La's expression became relieved: "I have had a 'long-time friendship' with King Yan. It was originally Wang Qing's excuse to cover up the rejection of the envoy at that time, but now, I really want to see him. !"

……

Ruzhou city head.

Li Yan stood with his hands behind his back, looking at the distant scenery.

The setting sun casts a layer of brilliance on the mountains and rivers, and under the embellishment of the curling smoke, the villages around seem to be full of vitality, which makes people feel refreshed.

Footsteps came.

Fang La climbed up the steps and came to his side. Looking at this scene as well, she sighed sincerely: "This beautiful mountain and river is really magnificent..."

"His Royal Highness, the country is yours now!"
