Chapter 23 Letters
On the second day, when the Youzhou army came to Quancheng, the city gate was already wide open.
Several generals trembled and presented a letter of surrender to Huang Xiaoyuan, and the army entered the city. Even if the Quancheng was occupied by the Youzhou army.
Quancheng, Luo Mansion.
Huang Xiaoyuan and others stood in the Luo Mansion, and suddenly a personal guard came to report: "Report to General, we have searched the Luo Mansion completely, but we did not find the whereabouts of Luo Xin's family."
"What! Are you saying that Luo Xin's family escaped?" Huang Xiao frowned. It would be difficult to deal with if he didn't catch Luo Xin's family.
"Go and bring some surrendered generals from Xiancheng today. I have something to ask them." Huang Xiaoyuan ordered his subordinates to say.
...
From time to time, several surrendered generals were taken to Luo Mansion. The veteran general who was led bowed and said, "I wonder what the general is going to recruit us?"
"I'll ask you, where is Luo Xin's family? Could it be that you hid it?" Huang Xiaoyuan asked in a voice.
Several enemy generals dared to bear such a crime, and one of them was a little anxious: "General, how dare we hide, General, Luo Cheng and others fled out of the city yesterday."
"Escaped? Where did you run away?"
The surrendered general consciously said something wrong, so he simply stopped talking. The three of them looked at me and I looked at you, but no one dared to speak.
"Everyone, you will be a colleague of my Youzhou Army in the future. Do you still want to help Luo Xin's family hide their traces? Besides, if you don't think about yourself, you should also think about your family in the future!" Huang Xiaoyuan said secretly and coerced.
At this time, the veteran general who burst into tears in front of Luo Cheng yesterday sighed: "General, Luo Cheng and others came out of the East Gate and fled to Luocheng last evening under the protection of the guard Lei Yun."
The veteran said in his heart: "Young Master, I'm sorry!"
Huang Xiaoyuan received the news and ordered his subordinates: "You go to the East City Gate and ask the guards of yesterday."
After a while, Huang Xiaoyuan got the exact answer, "I just ran away yesterday evening and still took my family with me. I must not be able to escape far away. Chase! Fu Tianyou, immediately arranges his subordinates to chase him."
Fu Tian heard it, "No!"
When Fu Tianyou heard this, he immediately left Luo Mansion and found Luo Lie: "Luo Lie, Luo Xin's family escaped and went to Luo City from the East City Gate. You take people to chase after him."
When Luo Lie heard that there was such a meritorious service, he immediately summoned 200 cavalrymen under his command, each of them, and attacked the east gate!
Of course, Zuo Houde was not among them. Since entering the city, Zuo Houde left Luo Lie's vision. This was not yesterday when Luo Lie wanted to break the city and make contributions. As a result, today the door of Quancheng was opened and surrendered, so Zuo Houde naturally couldn't do what Zuo Houde agreed to, so he took his subordinates to rest in the city to avoid seeing Luo Lie and making Luo Lie sad.
After Zuo Houde restrained his subordinates, he looked at the Quancheng. After all, it was Luo Xin's nest. Zuo Houde was still a little curious, but after looking at it, it was similar to Youzhou City. He couldn't help but lose his mood.
...
In the evening, Luo Lie and his group rushed to Quancheng and found Fu Tianyou to report.
"What, I didn't catch Luo Xin's family." Fu Tianyou was shocked.
Luo Lie was also helpless and clasped his fists and said, "General, General, the general and his subordinates chased after 200 miles to the border of Yongcheng. He did not see Luo Cheng and others, nor did he find the traces left by Luo Cheng and others on the way."
When Fu Tian heard this, he was Luo Lie’s fault: “Okay, go down and have a rest!”
Luo Lie then left. Luo Lie only felt that he was very unlucky in recent days. He agreed with Zuo Houde to help him break the city. As a result, the guard opened the door and surrendered. Today he got another task to pursue Luo Xin's family. He won the credit for free, but he was not able to catch it.
On this side, Fu Tianyoucai came to Huang Xiaoyuan and told him the news.
Huang Xiaoyuan was also shocked and then smiled bitterly: "It seems that Luo Cheng is not a good-looking person. He is making us fool around."
...
Luocheng, Luo Xin received an urgent report from his subordinates. After learning about the loss of Wuchao, he understood that Quancheng would definitely not be able to defend it.
I couldn't help but lower my head and ponder, and remained silent for a long time.
It took me some time to pick up the paper and pen, lower my head to write a letter.
After writing, he attracted a confidant: "Transfer this letter to the King of Yan outside the city."
Outside the city, the King of Yan saw the messenger sent by Luo Xin and took the letter.
"My brother in Zhenbei, Wuchao has been lost. I wonder if my brother knows it? At noon tomorrow, I will play a piano song on the city. I hope you can hear it under the city. - Brother Yu Luo Xin"
After seeing this, the King of Yan sighed and saw the generals in the army: "In the letter, Luo Xin has told me that Wuchao has been captured by our army. He invited me to go to the city at noon tomorrow and listen to him playing a piano."
Hong Dingyuan asked: "Does Luo Xin want to surrender?"
The King of Yan nodded: "It should be so!"
"Prince, be careful of fraud!" said the man dressed in a scholar.
"No obstacle, tomorrow I will only wear heavy armor and bring a group of personal guards to protect me. The feather arrows on the wall cannot hurt me." King Yan said lightly.
At night, the King of Yan didn't know if this was his righteous brother's plan, but it was indeed a good thing to think that it would be a good thing if the war could be resolved. Moreover, the Qingzhou army that could conquer Luo Xin was not far from the north, so the King of Yan was still willing to give it a try.
At this time in the city, after Luo Xin wrote a letter to the King of Yan, he wrote another letter to his son.
After writing two letters, Luo Xin looked up at the moon. The moon was very round on this night!
Luo Xin couldn't help but think of Quancheng - his hometown, and his eldest grandson Luo Cheng. This is the most like him. Unfortunately, I don't know what happened at this time? He believed that Luo Cheng could escape, but what he believed was not reality after all. For example, he believed that Li Fuming could defend Wuchao, but Li Fuming failed to defend.
Luo Xin looked back on his decades, raised an army in Quancheng, recovered Qingzhou, and divided the northern land into three parts. He was granted the title of General of the Northern Expedition and ruled Qingzhou for decades! He asked himself that his life was glorious enough! Unfortunately, this Luocheng seemed to be the burial place of Luo Xin!
Of course, Luo Xin also held the last bit of fantasy, and it was a fantasy after all!
...
Luo Cheng didn't know what happened in Luocheng, nor did he know that his grandfather was thinking about him. He had entered Diancheng - the gateway to Qingzhou.
Luo Cheng saw an excellent opportunity. Hanzhou. He expected that Hanzhou was empty and Qingzhou was difficult to defend. Luo Cheng decided to lead the defenders of Diancheng to attack Hanzhou! He didn't know that he and Luo Xin had thought of it together, and even his father was conquering the city and land in Hanzhou at this time.
Luo Cheng thought that his father and grandfather were still fighting against the King of Yan in Luocheng at this time. Luo Cheng had already thought about it. He was attacking Hanzhou at this time and asked his father and grandfather to withdraw troops from Luocheng. Anyway, Qingzhou has been lost, but if Hanzhou can be occupied, it may not be impossible to make a comeback.
