Chapter 363 Li Sanniang
Since Luo Cheng led his troops to rescue the siege, Xincheng took down the flag raised.
The Goguryeo flag is still floating on the top of the city.
Since Dayuan Jiantu led his troops to counterattack Xuantu City, the guards in Xincheng area were very weak. Luo Cheng passed by once, causing Xincheng to lose many soldiers and generals. Not to mention, Luo Cheng was cruel and ruthless, driving tens of thousands of people around him to fill trenches and force the Xincheng defenders to shoot and kill them, which greatly reduced their morale.
At this time, there were not many guards in the new city, only eight thousand soldiers, and about fifty thousand people. Although there were many young and strong people, the new city was not short of equipment, but most of them were just ordinary farmers, herdsmen and craftsmen, lacking training and not understanding the battle formation.
Fortunately, Luo Cheng's living Yama only fought for a while and then accepted the surrender book, and left with a large amount of gold, silver, food, livestock and beauty.
Yang Wanchun selected about 10,000 young and strong people from the city, and sent equipment to coach the battle formation day and night.
A month passed in a blink of an eye, and there was no war in Xincheng, and life was still stable, and finally gave them a little breathing opportunity.
Li Yuan and Yu Wenshi and several times came to the city to talk, allowing Yang Wanchun to open the city.
But every time Yang Wanchun would give out thousands of reasons. In short, he admitted that he had surrendered to Sui, but he was still worried about opening the city. Finally, he just didn't open the city gate, and even said that he would wait until the emperor came, and then go out to worship the emperor of the Sui Dynasty in person.
What is the implication of this? Who are you, Li Yuanyu, and the literati?
The emperor in the rear sent people to urge him day and night, especially when Liaodong City could not be captured for a long time, the emperor needed good news from the new city even more.
Yu Wenshi and the Sui camp squatted not far from the new city, sighing, and sitting next to him was Duke Li Yuan of Tang, both frowning.
"Damn Luo Cheng, he took the book of falling and patted his butt and left, but left this mess for us."
Li Yuan, who was a good-tempered person, was now a little angry. Luo Cheng was really eating meat, but they were wiping their butts behind. Luo Chengshou lowered the book and wrote a good news. As a result, the bastard was promoted to wealth and was promoted to the general of Tiger Ben. He also received many gold and silk slaves, but the latter asked them to come.
Li Yuan has been cheated by Luo Cheng twice.
Last time, Luo Cheng plundered all the money, grain and livestock from Xuantu Zhucheng, and left him with empty warehouses. However, the emperor and all officials still remembered the large amount of money, grain and equipment that Luo Cheng got from capturing Zhucheng. In the end, he could not take out the things to hand over the work. The emperor did not blame Luo Cheng, but blamed him for his ineffective work.
Pei Yun even directly reported that he couldn't do anything, which made him almost unable to get out of Taiwan.
This time I came to Xincheng to receive surrender. I thought I could get some light on it, but I didn’t expect it to be a pit or a sinkhole.
"Duke Tang, Your Majesty sent someone to urge him again. He has issued an ultimatum. If we cannot take over the new city within three days, we will only ask."
"Only we are asking? What are you asking? Luo Cheng said that the new city has been surrendered. Do you think the new city has been surrendered? Have you surrendered?"
Yu Wen Shiji was also helpless, "Duke Tang, everyone knows that Yang Wanchun has surrendered, but now the trouble is that the emperor is very proud of his face and refuses to admit that Yang Wanchun has surrendered before, so it is even more impossible to punish Luo Cheng. Anyway, it is just a slap in the face. Now the emperor doesn't ask Luo Cheng, but asks us, what do you think we can do?"
Li Yuan knew the emperor's character better than Yu Wenshi and was a person with excellent face.
It is impossible to let the emperor admit his mistakes, so now the result is that the board will still fall on their butts unless they can take down the new city within three days.
"There is no other way, so I can only find Li Jing and Luo Yi. Although the new city is strong, there are few soldiers. The second general Li Luo has 70,000 troops in his hands. If you really want to fight hard, you may not be able to get it in three days."
"But Luo Yi is Uncle Luo Cheng and Li Jing is Uncle Luo Cheng. These two people may not be willing to help us."
"This is not helping us, this is helping Luo Cheng wipe his butt. If Xincheng really can't beat us, we will certainly not be able to escape the punishment at that time, but Luo Cheng doesn't think about staying out of the matter." Li Yuan said angrily.
Luo Yi faced the very polite Li Yuan and just smiled and said, haha.
In the end, Li Yuan had no choice but to say, "Luo Cheng was promoted to the general of Hu Ben because of surrendering to Xincheng, but now Xincheng is still in the hands of the Goguryeo people. If this matter cannot be handled properly, I am afraid it will be unfavorable to Luo Cheng in the end. Luo Youwei, you are Luo Cheng's father, he is your stepson, and you should help him with the aftermath."
"Didn't Your Majesty hand over the surrender of Xincheng to Duke Tang?"
"Duke Yan was joking. I just came to wipe Luo Cheng's butt, but now it's hard to wipe his butt. Your Majesty only left me three days, but I only had those hundreds of people in my hand. What can I do? I have to take action from Duke Yan!"
Luo Yi shook his head, "Duke Tang, it's not that I don't help this. It was originally the task of my army six on the left and right six on the right. However, before, Your Majesty had changed the military order and ordered our army to go north to attack Fuyu and Jinshan Zhucheng. We also have military orders, which cannot be delayed."
"No delay, no delay, there are only five or six thousand troops in Xincheng now, and it is still defeated. The morale is low. As long as the Duke of Yan takes action, he will definitely fight in one battle."
"Haha." Luo Yi said, "But Your Majesty didn't let me attack the new city."
"Do you a favor, I must remember this favor." Li Yuan said with a face down.
"Mr. Tang, I will definitely help me if I can help. I heard that Mr. Tang has a third wife. She has been very heroic since she was a child. She is not as good as a man in both civil and military affairs. This year, she seems to be in her 28-year-old age?"
Li Yuan's face changed.
Luo Yi continued, "I seem to have heard that Sanniang is not married yet?"
"What does Duke Yan mean? Do you want to be a matchmaker for my Sanniang?"
"I did have this intention. Actually, I thought my Goro and your Sanniang were an excellent couple before, but unfortunately Goro had already got married. However, my Luo family Sanlang has not yet got married. Now he is the general of the front wing of the Left Five Army. The General Yingyang Lang, who was awarded by His Majesty, is also a very brave hero. Duke Tang might as well consider it. If the two of them can succeed, then our Luo and Li families will be in-laws in the future."
Li Yuan thought to himself that what is your Luo family? You dare to match my Li family. I think that the Li family of the Duke of Tang is one of the eight pillars. Although it began to weaken in the Northern Zhou Dynasty and was even weaker in the early Sui Dynasty, the lean camel is bigger than a horse. How could a nouveau riche like the Luo family compare?
Sanniang is his third daughter of Li Yuan. Although he is the third child, he is the legitimate daughter. He is much more noble than his two older concubines. Li Yuan's marriage is either rich or noble, either a famous family in Guanlong, or a five surnames and seven sects, and the Luo family is worthy of it?
"Haha, it's getting late, so I'll stay at Duke Tang soon to see you off." Luo Yi saw that Li Yuan didn't say anything, so he called to see you off.
