Tour the world of martial arts

Chapter 274
After hearing Shen Luoyan's words, Zhao Mingyuan smiled awkwardly.

He understood that now that Shen Luoyan had recovered his composure, it was no longer possible for him to take advantage of it.

As for Susu Chuchu, these are the two girls Zhai Rang gave him some time ago.

That's right, it was Susu and Chuchu, the maidservants of Zhai Rang's only daughter, Zhai Jiao.

They were all orphans who barely survived the famine, but because of their good looks, they were selected into Dalongtou's mansion to serve Zhai Jiao.

Maids like them are often rewarded by Zhai Rang to his generals.

In the original book, Su Su was favored by Wang Bodang and begged Zhai Rang for her.

Although Zhai Rang knew that Uncle Wang was from Li Mi's side, he didn't care about a little maid, so he agreed.

Susu was also given to Wang Bodang, and after some teasing, she was abandoned.

Afterwards, Susu met with unkind people again, and was deceived by Xiangyushan's sweet words. After giving birth to a child, Susu died of hatred.

This child later became Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling's adopted son Xiao Lingzhong.

And Chuchu is Susu's good sister. After Susu's death, she has been taking care of Xiaolingzhong.

Originally, Zhai Rang rewarded Zhao Mingyuan with the two of them, but he didn't want to accept it.

However, Zhai Rang had already sent the two of them directly to his residence.Zhao Mingyuan learned that they were Susu and Chuchu, so he kept them there.

Because Zhao Mingyuan knew that if he refused, then the ending of the two of them would not be much better.

Since Zhai Rang was able to give them to Zhao Mingyuan today, it is naturally possible to give them to other generals tomorrow.That being the case, it would be better for them to stay here.

However, this made Wei Zhenzhen angry for a long time.Later, Zhao Mingyuan explained many times before he managed to coax Wei Zhenzhen well.

Unexpectedly, Shen Luoyan would actually make fun of it now.It seems that although this is not Xinmi, it seems that Li Mi's side has already begun to pay attention to his every move.

I'm afraid they will take Zhao Mingyuan's actions, interpersonal relationships, speeches, and every move into a magnifying glass to study carefully, so as to find his weaknesses and come up with a way to deal with Zhao Mingyuan.

However, Zhao Mingyuan replied to Shen Luoyan's question: "Luoyan, if I tell you, this handkerchief is mine."

"Impossible, what kind of incense do you smoke like a big man!" After Shen Luoyan finished speaking, she suddenly realized that she was arguing with Zhao Mingyuan about whether he smelled good, so she hurriedly shut up, turned around and left in a hurry.

However, the sharp-eyed Zhao Mingyuan saw that her face was blushing.

Moreover, she left so quickly that she seemed to take the handkerchief with her.

Zhao Mingyuan shook his head, dispelled the love for children in his heart, and returned to the camp.

At this time, Qin Shubao and the others were all ready, waiting for Zhao Mingyuan's order to set off.

This is indeed before the military order was issued, they were already ready to pack up.

Next, the Wagangzhai soldiers divided into two groups, Zhao Mingyuan and Li Mi each led their troops to attack Luokou Cang.

Naturally, such a big movement could not be concealed.

In fact, since Zhang Xutuo's death, the world has been shaken, and it is even guessed that Wagang Village's next strategy must be to attack Luokoucang.

Luokou granary was the largest granary in the Sui Dynasty, so Yang Guang attached great importance to it, and sent Liu Wengong, the general of Huben Lang, to lead 5000 soldiers and horses, from the eastern capital Luoyang to the east, in an attempt to restore the decline.

He also ordered Pei Renji to attack Xingyang City, which was occupied by the Wagang Army, from Hulao, hoping to use these two large armies to contain the Wagang Army.

At the same time, Yang Guang sent Wang Shichong, his most capable subordinate, to Luokou to confront Li Mi head-on.

Yes, Yang Guang always valued Li Mi, and he didn't even mention Zhao Mingyuan's name.

However, Zhao Mingyuan naturally wouldn't care about the attitude of a dying person towards him.

Bing is expensive and fast, and Luokou Cang will get support from the Sui army at any time.

Therefore, Zhao Mingyuan led his troops to dispatch troops quickly. On the way, he discussed with Qin Shubao, Luo Shixin, and Cheng Yaojin how to deal with this battle.

They soon also got the movement of the Sui army.While it is impossible to judge their implementation, the general direction of travel is clear.

Pei Renji went to attack Xingyang according to Yang Guang's fate, so naturally he didn't need to think about it.

But the two armies of Liu Wengong and Wang Shichong were imminent, and they would definitely interfere with their attack on Luokoucang.

Especially Wang Shichong, who is now rushing to Luokou Cang. If they take a step slower, they may face Luokou Cang with tens of thousands of defenders. Wouldn't it be doomed to lose?

The upper troops attacked the plot, the second attacked the Jiaotong, the second attacked the soldiers, and the lower attacked the city.

The method of siege is a last resort.

However, if Luokoucang was to be taken down, the siege would be inevitable.

This is not good news.

In particular, many of Zhao Mingyuan's subordinates came from the surrender of the Sui army.

Although it was led by a familiar general, the morale of the army was temporarily stabilized.However, if they were allowed to fight the Sui army again, what if they were recruited by the other side instead?

This is very possible, especially when you are at a disadvantage, it is even more likely.

However, in the end Zhao Mingyuan thought of a way. After asking Qin Shubao and the three of them, he confirmed that they were very familiar with these Sui army generals, so he quickly made a plan.

Next, Zhao Mingyuan and the others moved around day and night, and dispatched experts to eliminate all the nearby scouts, concealing their whereabouts.

Although this method can only be concealed for a short period of time, it will be discovered by the Sui army soon, but it only needs to be delayed for a while.That's exactly what they're fighting for.

Sure enough, after Zhao Mingyuan's army disappeared, the Sui army dispatched men to search for Zhao Mingyuan's army, but at the same time gathered around Li Mi's Pushan public camp and launched an attack.

Moreover, it turned out that the two armies Liu Wengong and Wang Shichong joined forces to attack.

Sure enough, they still valued Li Mi more, and looked down on Zhao Mingyuan who had no background.

In their view, Zhao Mingyuan was just a puppet that Zhai Rang reluctantly supported to check and balance Li Mi, and it was not difficult to deal with, so naturally they didn't take it seriously.

However, Li Mi was worthy of being Li Mi, and soon discovered that the two troops had a tendency to attack.So, he divided his way and blocked Wang Shichong's troops, and he personally led the main force to attack Liu Wengong's troops.

Maybe Li Mi is also angry.

At this time, he was bound to be attacked by Zhao Mingyuan to Luokou Cang first.He could only secretly pray that Luokoucang was well guarded and that it would not be so easy to be captured.

So, Li Mi vented his anger on others, and attacked Liu Wengong's men fiercely.

Unexpectedly, Liu Wengong's army was defeated in one battle. Liu Wengong only led thousands of cavalry to flee, and the infantry were either killed or captured.

Seeing how powerful Li Mi was, Wang Shichong was also taken aback. Without the flanking attack of Liu Wengong's men, he no longer dared to take the initiative to fight Li Mi. Instead, he retreated in the direction of Luokoucang, preparing to defend Luokou.

After all, his order was to guard Luokou Cang.As long as Luokou's warehouse is not lost, he will be fine.

However, what Wang Shichong didn't expect was that when he came to Luokou Cang, he found that the flag on it was replaced with the logo of Wagang Army.

The large character "Zhao" on the flag shows that this place has been captured by Zhao Mingyuan.

How can it be?

How could Zhao Mingyuan attack so quickly?
This is too fast, not even a day, how could the defenders of Luokoucang not be able to defend even a day?
Could it be that someone rebelled and cooperated with the inside and the outside?

Wang Shichong was puzzled.

This is because Zhao Mingyuan did not attack the city.

How did he get in?

Zhao Mingyuan didn't fight at all, but came in directly.

Of course, it was pretending to be the Sui army, pretending to be the Sui army sent by Wang Shichong to support Luokoucang.

No, it should be said that they were originally the Sui Army, but they have become the Wagang Army.

Now, they just changed back to their original armor and blade.No matter the formation or the momentum, they were all the same as before, and the defenders of Luokoucang naturally couldn't tell the difference.

Of course, this is not enough.

Therefore, based on the description of Qin Shubao and the others, Zhao Mingyuan disguised them as Wang Shichong's generals.

Because they were very familiar with the various tentative cuts of the Sui army, they were able to successfully deceive the defenders of Luokoucang and let them open the city gate.

They even took over the city defense directly and occupied Luokou Cang without bloodshed.

By the time the defenders of Luokoucang discovered the truth, it was too late and they were all captured.

Afterwards, Zhao Mingyuan ordered the former Sui army under his command to persuade them to surrender, and told them that there was nothing wrong with surrendering to the Wagang army, and that it was a real abandonment of darkness and surrender.

In addition, the crowd had no loyalty to Yang Guang, and most of the soldiers were just serving as soldiers for food, so naturally they would not work hard for a foolish king, Yang Guang.

So, soon everyone became a happy family.

Wang Shichong saw that there was no trace of the recent fighting on the city wall, so he already knew that Zhao Mingyuan stole the city by clever tricks, not by strength.

Therefore, Wang Shichong didn't take Zhao Mingyuan seriously, so he ordered the army to attack the city.

But Zhao Mingyuan actually opened the city gate and led the crowd out of the city to fight.

Seeing that Zhao Mingyuan occupied the terrain of the city wall and did not use it, this naturally made Wang Shichong despise Zhao Mingyuan even more and commanded the army to press up.

However, his soldiers were exhausted after marching all the way here, and naturally they couldn't defeat Zhao Mingyuan's army who was waiting for work.

What's more, Zhao Mingyuan's subordinates were elite soldiers who had followed Zhang Xutuo's battles, so they naturally defeated Wang Shichong's troops.

But Wang Shichong was also a leading general, and he was able to retreat without chaos, even though he was defeated but not collapsed.

But here, Zhao Mingyuan went out to ambush and ordered them to use the banner of Li Mi's Pushan Public Camp.

Wang Shichong thought that Li Mi had also arrived, so he flanked Zhao Mingyuan back and forth.

How can this still win?
Wang Shichong retreated in a hurry, and the army collapsed immediately. Zhao Mingyuan led his troops to follow him, chased him for more than ten miles, and captured countless people.

The battle was decided, and soon the news of the battle spread to the ears of those who paid close attention to it.

The name Zhao Mingyuan has finally become famous all over the world.
