Chapter 319 Assassination
Eight years of Daye.
October 15th, the Chinese New Year.
The lantern market in Daxing City, Xijing and Luoyang, the eastern capital, are still eye-catching this year. Although the emperor is already far away in Zhuo County, a large number of nobles and senior officials from the two capitals will follow Hebei, the lantern market will still remain lively this year.
It's just on the distant east bank of the Liao River, Xuantu City.
The vanguard general of the Great Sui Dynasty conquered Liao, the young Hou Luocheng of Xiangyang, was attacked by an unidentified assassin in Xuantu City.
The assassin was a few Khitans. They were Hu people who had surrendered when the city was broken before. They have been very content with helping to build fortifications these days. Then on the night of the fifteenth, they suddenly sneaked into Luo Cheng's general's mansion in the city.
This group of Khitans are agile and carry swords and crossbows. When Luo Cheng routinely went out of the mansion to patrol the city's defenses after dinner, they suddenly launched.
They launched a suicide attack without fear of death, and these people did not think about getting out of nothing.
Luo Cheng's guards responded quickly.
After sacrificing seven personal soldiers, only three of the Khitans died. They were covered in blood and still refused to retreat. Instead, they tried their best to break into Luo Cheng.
Then, the three injured assassins were personally taken by Luo Cheng. He pulled out the Shangfang Mass Sword he was wearing and swung his sword in a row. The three injured assassins' palms were cut off.
The assassin was captured.
But unexpectedly, these captured assassins quickly bit the poisonous capsule in their mouths and committed suicide.
Facing the seventeen Khitan corpses, Luo Cheng's face was very dark.
After hearing the news, Luo Cunxiao, the fourth brother who arrived, personally checked the Khitan corpses, turned around and went to the Khitan camp. At the order, a large group of soldiers drove the total number of Khitan people together.
Some of these Khitans were Khitans who had long become Goguryeo, while others were Khitan Hushangs who were still Khitans.
"Top the body!"
The fourth brother snorted coldly.
Suddenly, a team of soldiers dragged the seventeen Khitan bodies over and threw them in front of the thousand Khitans.
"Put it onto the stakes and let them recognize it."
The body was inserted into a picket and then the tree was raised.
The large group of Khitans were frightened when they looked at these bald tribe members.
"Do you know anyone?" Luo Cunxiao asked.
No answer.
Luo Cunxiao laughed a few times, "I don't believe it. No one will recognize these seventeen people." After that, the fourth brother casually pointed it into the crowd. Every time he clicked, a soldier rushed in and dragged the people out.
"I'll ask you one more thing, do you know these dead people?"
Still no one answered.
Luo Cunxiao waved his hand, and then the sword light flashed.
The seventeen Khitans who were dragged out just now all became ghosts under the sword.
"I'm in a bad mood now. Those seventeen dead people want to assassinate my brother. Although I'm not successful, I'm very angry. I want to kill people now. If you don't answer me, I will continue to kill. Seventeen at a time, until you can kill." He waved his hand again, and the soldiers rushed into the crowd again, dragged out seventeen more, and then slashed them randomly, and the seventeen were gone again.
When he went back, he changed his clothes and changed the clothes that were splashed with the blood of the Khitan killer, Luo Cheng rushed over after hearing the news.
He glanced at the trembling Khitans.
"Old Fourth, stop."
Luo Cunxiao looked at the people coldly, "These damn Khitans should be killed."
"It's useless to kill them all." Luo Cheng shook his head. "Although those assassins are Khitans, these Khitans may not know them. What's the use of killing them all?"
"It's all Khitans, how could no one know me?" Lao Si didn't want to stop.
But Luo Cheng saw the appearance of the Khitans, but he had already guessed the truth.
"You said that the Khitans were not assassinated by the orders of the Goguryeo people, who was the order?"
In the general's mansion, the fourth brother was puzzled.
Wei Zheng smiled and said, "Four Generals, do you think no one wants General Luo's life except Goguryeo?"
"Who else besides Goguryeo?"
Lao San Siye raised his eyebrows, "Can they say that those Khitan killers were instructed by the people behind us?"
"What's impossible?"
"But these people are Khitans."
"So what? With the ability of some people and their character, I don't think it's strange if they bribed a team of Goguryeo to assassinate General Luo."
"Yu Wenji!" Lao Si roared angrily, "The bastard bastard is putting a knife behind his back."
Luo Cheng did not deny Wei Zheng's speculation. In fact, after the fourth brother killed someone just now, no one in the Khitans revealed that they knew these killers. Luo Cheng himself had already doubted Qi Yu Culture.
He knew very well how deeply he had offended Yu Culture. In order to kill his life, this thief playboy helped him get promoted and let him cross the river and enter Liao alone.
Now, beyond Yu Wenji's expectations, he won a big victory and captured Xuantu City. I am afraid that Yu Wenji will be so annoyed that he can't sleep or eat after learning the news.
He was not going to help him make meritorious and promoted, he wanted to kill people with a knife. Now that he has lost his wife and his troops, how could he be willing to do so?
He would not be surprised by Luo Cheng at all if he was bad at this method.
"Old Wu, we will not guard this Gui Xuantu City. Let's fight back to the west bank of the Liao River and directly light the Yu Culture and the sky lanterns."
'Is there any evidence?" Luo Cheng asked Lao Si, "You can see how difficult this matter is. They didn't leave any clues, and we couldn't blame Yu Wenji at all."
"Then we will also send someone to assassinate him and treat him with his own way."
Luo Cheng still shook his head.
"With Yu Culture and the villain's nature, how could he be unprepared for dealing with us with such dark means? Maybe he had already set up a net and waited for us to do this. If one or two of our brothers can be captured by him, then our brothers will be rebel against the generals. Who can protect us at that time?"
"Then let's just let it go?"
"Of course, we can't count it. This account is not just that we don't report it, but the time has not come. Let the brothers be more vigilant and add some attention. Now we must not only be careful about the Goguryeo army that appears at any time, but also have to shoot cold guns and hidden arrows from behind when we are young."
"What's the matter with light be careful?"
The fourth brother was still dissatisfied. With his temperament, since he stabbed him with a knife, he would have to stab him back and he would have to stab him twice.
"Lao Wu, if you want to overturn the table, you must first have the ability to overturn the table. When you don't have enough strength to overturn the table, you must suppress your anger first. We can just know what we know now. Keep Xuantu City. After this battle, we will slowly go back to Yu Culture and settle the account. Believe me, there will always be a chance." Luo Cheng gritted his teeth. He has never been a person who is afraid of trouble, but not being afraid of trouble does not mean recklessness.
Wei Zheng looked at Luo Cheng with appreciation and felt that the young general was so calm and terrible. Yu Wenhua and he had really lost his mind when he found such an opponent.
"Old Master, why are you laughing at?"
"The old Taoist thinks it is not necessary to take revenge. In fact, the general doesn't have to be too arrogant now. Luo Yi, Li Jing, and Song Laosheng are all the general's supporters. Why not treat him by his own way? Ask these generals to write a letter to the emperor, saying that now the vanguard army has captured Xuantu. In order to defend this position on the east bank of the Liao River, the emperor will send Tongding Town General Yu Wen and lead troops across the river to support reinforcements?"
Luo Cheng couldn't help but smile. Yu Wenhua and although he was the General of Zuotun Guard, the General of Tongding Town, and the Chief of Liaodong County, who didn't know how much water there was. If he was asked to cross the river, he would probably not have to cheat him, and he would not be able to withstand the Goguryeo people.
It’s great to use the hands of Goguryeo people to kill people by borrowing a knife.
"Okay, then I'll ask the Wei Jishu to send a letter to several generals for me, asking them to help Master Yuwen to praise him, so that the emperor can send this Zuo Tun Guard General to reinforce us!"
There was a lot of laughter in the account, and everyone was looking forward to it.
"It's still the sinister old man Wei, he's so damn, he doesn't need a knife to kill, and he doesn't see blood when he kills." The fourth brother praised.
Chapter completed!
