The Passionate Guns of Sui and Tang Dynasties

Chapter 763 Chasing down Tang Gaozu (3)

This general is Luo Song.It turned out that Luo Song was ordered by Yang Yong to rush to Xianyang with 1 horses and learned that the city was really empty. At this time, when there were only 3000 people in the city, Luo Song decisively ordered to attack the city.

As a result, these 1 horses rushed to the head of Xianyang City in one charge, and then opened the city gate. After Luo Song led his men into the city, when he was about to go down the city again, unexpectedly, another Tang army rushed into the city. It was here The defender of the city, Jiang Gao, brought five thousand soldiers and horses to kill them. They heard that Xianyang was attacked by the rebels, and they came back halfway.

Luo Song had no choice but to start a street fight with them. In a scuffle, the city lord Jiang Gao died under Luo Song's gun. Most of the [-] Tang soldiers died, and the remaining [-] people threw their guns and knelt down and surrendered.

However, he killed three thousand enemies and lost eight hundred of his own. After Luo Song took Xianyang, his 1 horses also lost about a thousand men, and after excluding the wounded, there were still more than 300 soldiers who could fight.

Luo Song left 3000 troops to guard the city, and handed it over to a trusted commander to clean up the battlefield, go out to calm the people, guard the prisoners, treat the wounded, and deal with these post-war affairs. Then Luo Song led 5000 troops to follow Yang Yong's order Going out of the city to Gaoqiao Town to fight, intending to join forces with Yang Yong's soldiers and horses to capture and kill Li Yuan.

Just a few miles away from the city, Luo Song received a report that the battle in Gaoqiao Town was over, Li Yuan came to Xianyang with the remnants of the defeated army, and Yang Yong's men followed closely behind.Luo Song analyzed that after Li Yuan came to Xianyang, there was a fortified city in front of him and pursuers behind him. The Tang army would not dare to attack the city and must flee to the north.

That's why Luo Song brought 5000 troops to this place to set up an ambush, waiting for Li Yuan.

People like Li Yuan know Luo Song very well. At the beginning, Luo Song was a general of the Tang Dynasty. This is the father and son of the Luo family who surrendered when Li Shimin conquered Youyan. Two years ago, the Tang Dynasty sent Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin to conquer Yang Yong. Li Xiuning was unwilling to show weakness. He also had to send troops, but Li Yuan couldn't hold back his daughter, so he agreed to use troops from three directions. Li Yuan loved his daughter, and specially sent the general Luo Song to her. Unexpectedly, Luo Song surrendered to Yang Yong, and his father Luo Yi and his brother Luo Cheng have been fighting since then. Still working under Li Shimin's command.

When Li Yuan heard the news, he became angry and suspicious of Luo Yi and Luo Cheng. After persuasion by Pei Ji and Liu Wenjing, Li Yuan showed a unique generosity and didn't mention anything about Luo Song, as if I don't know the same, but he still has great favor for Luo Yi and his son, but secretly ordered Li Shimin to be vigilant against Luo's father and son, if Luo Yi and Luo Cheng colluded with Luo Song, they should be eliminated immediately, and they can be killed first and then played at critical moments.

But they haven't found anything abnormal for a long time. Luo Yi and Luo Cheng are still loyal to Datang. rest assured.

Of course, Li Yuan has also paid close attention to Luo Song in the past two years. Since Luo Song surrendered to Yang Yong, he has been loyal and loyal. Following Yang Yong, he first defeated Li Xiuning's troops, then repulsed Li Jiancheng and Li Yuan's team, and forced Li Shimin to retreat. He conquered the south of the Yangtze River with Yang Yong, destroyed the five kings of the south of the Yangtze River, and defeated Xiao Mi's personal conquest, and his reputation spread far and wide.

Now that such a general led his troops to block Li Yuan's way, how could people like Li Yuan not be surprised?

Li Yuan saw that he would not be able to get past this defeated general. Who can beat Luo Song?In terms of martial arts, Luo Song is second only to Yang Yong, and in terms of heads-up, not to mention that all the generals under him are free, even if they call in all the generals who can fight in the Tang Dynasty, except for one Li Yuanba, I am afraid that there will be no one else like him Li Yuan and the like knew all about this.

Therefore, Chai Shao, Yin Kaishan, and Duan Zhixuan all looked at Li Yuan, ready to fight to the death, and even the great counselor Pei Ji frowned.

But Li Yuan deserves to be Tang Gaozu. At the critical moment, he turned his eyes and paid attention to it. If it is hard, he will be soft. So he hung up the sword, and immediately came to Luo Song, and put on a sincere smile to Luo Song. : "Who should I be? Isn't this Luo Aiqing who has been away for a long time? Luo Aiqing has always been good, you want to kill me."

Luo Song is a loyal man, and Li Yuan's move really stunned Luo Song. He betrayed the Li family and his son and joined Yang Yong, and fought against Datang. He thought that Li Yuan and his son might hate him more, but when Li Yuan met He greeted them with a smile, greeted them with care as an elder, and was so concerned that Luo Song was a little at a loss.

Come and don't go indecently, Luo Song is a well-educated person.After being dazed for a while, he quickly hung up the big gun and punched with both hands: "Your Majesty, we are now enemies of the two countries. Please excuse Luo for not being able to dismount from the horse and salute. Let's put the public first and then the private. Luo is ordered by my lord Yang Yong , I've been here for a long time, are you going to fight without a fight, or fight to the death? If you capture without a fight, Luo will definitely not make it difficult for His Majesty, and hand over His Majesty and others to the prince. If Your Majesty intends to fight to the death, you can come here , don’t think about the old relationship between the monarch and his ministers!”

Li Yuan still smiled after hearing this, "Luo Aiqing is right. Although we are enemies of the two countries, I am deeply impressed by General Luo's loyalty. After I finish a few words, we will fight to the death."

"Okay, if your Majesty has something to say, please speak face to face, and Luo will listen attentively."

"Before I went out this time, I met General Shao Baocheng, and you were mentioned in the middle. General Luo Cheng cried. He told me frankly that he was young and ignorant. He shouldn't have turned against his brother and forced you away. Now everyone For his master, the whole family turned against each other and brothers killed each other. He was deeply saddened and regretful, and he also said... my old brother Luo Yi..."

When Li Yuan said this, he was so sad that he couldn't continue, pretending to wipe away his tears, and secretly glanced at Luo Song's reaction.

Luo Song really fell in love, after all, it is a family relationship, blood is thicker than water.Not seeing each other for more than two years, he also wanted to know the recent situation of his father and younger brother. Luo Song's face was filled with guilt, and his eyes were red. Seeing that Li Yuan didn't continue, he hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, how is my father?"

Li Yuan rubbed two tears, and calmed down again: "Maybe you have also heard that two years ago, the Turks united Tie Le, Wei Shi, Mohe, Goryeo, Baekje, Silla, and many small states to form They crossed the Great Wall, captured land, and slaughtered people. Brother Luo followed the people of the world to expedition to Youzhou. The war has not yet ended. Two months ago, when they attacked Yuyang, King Luo Brother Luo was unfortunately injured by the loss, but the arrow was not fatal. Because the military doctor rescued it in time, after the arrow was taken out, it was fine after being dosed with medicine, but what was unexpected was that Brother Luo had already been wounded by the arrow. , this arrow was shot by Su Lie and Su Dingfang during the Battle of Yucheng two years ago. Little effect was achieved. Brother Luo sometimes fell into a coma and sometimes woke up. In his dream, he repeatedly said Aiqing's name and woke up crying... Now that I saw Aiqing, I remembered these things. I didn't want to say these things, but I couldn't bear to see Wang Brother died with hatred. If possible, I hope that Aiqing will come to the capital as soon as possible so that your father and son can meet each other and fulfill the old man's wish. If you go late, maybe your father and son will be separated..."

When Li Yuan said this, he couldn't cry anymore. Li Yuan was really crying now, not acting, but it wasn't Luo Yi who was crying in his heart, but he was crying because he thought of his daughter Li Xiuning.

Luo Song didn't know if it was true or not. When he heard this, he was already in tears. He got off his horse and knelt in the direction of Bingzhou. The old man will hate the child... If there is an afterlife, the child will repay your kindness as a cow or a horse..." After speaking, he burst into tears.

Seeing that the time was ripe, Li Yuan glanced at the generals on the left and right, and ordered in a low voice: "Come on!"
