Chapter 357

Finally, Zhang Zhen still has to return to reality, no matter how much he hates Li Chengye.

When the fish symbol was handed over to Li Chengye, Zhang Zhenju said to Li Chengye, "General Li, in this battle, victory is better than defeat. Our family only gives it here."

"Don't bother the waiter."

Li Chengye had already torn his face with Zhang Zhen, and naturally there was nothing polite to say.

The two passed by, one was handsome on the stage, and the other retreated like a defeated dog.

In the next few days, Zuo Shence Youyong, who was scattered in the wild, neither wanted to surrender the enemy nor work for the imperial court. He only heard that Li Chengye was handsome at Tongguan again, so he went to Tongguan and entered the Shence army again.

Lu Longjun, who was besieging Luoyang, the capital of God, suspended the offensive to guard against Li Chengye's outstanding soldiers. However, after such a slow offensive, the left Shence army that had surrendered to them defected in large numbers.

Naturally, these people also rushed to Tongguan and returned to Li Chengye's command again. This made Li Chengye know more about the truth and falsehood of Lu Long's army.

Relying only on Li Chengye's personal prestige, the left Shence army, which had only a little more than 10000, gathered together and returned to 20000. Although far inferior to the 70000 enemy troops, they have enough strength to fight against them.

However, Li Chengye did not immediately rescue the besieged God capital Luoyang. Instead, he made every effort to reorganize the army and train troops all day. Privately, he collected pack horses and donkeys everywhere, as if he meant to wait and see what happened.

Although Lulong Jiedu envoy was worried, he sent elite soldiers to join him in Hedong and Shuofang towns. When Li Chengye was rectifying the army, they attacked in one fell swoop and broke through the gods of the city, high and deep.

At the time of Lulong's festival, he planned to rely on the city defense of Luoyang, the God capital, and force the court to let Li Chengye send troops to recapture Luoyang. He should have the confidence to fight with Li Chengye.

As a result, the city was just broken and Lu Longjun was plundering the city of Luoyang.

Li Chengye suddenly took five thousand elite riders and killed them from the gate broken by Lu Long's army. Even let 70000 scattered Lu Longjun looted in Luoyang City helpless.

These five thousand elite soldiers just rush left and right in the city, constantly mobilize the main force of the other party with organizational power, and attract them into the city, but can't guard the city wall.

Li Guangsi led the rest of the soldiers, rode on horses and donkeys, and chased them to Luoyang at the speed of the forced army, which completely failed Lu Long's plan to defend the city.

The two sides had a fierce street battle in Luoyang City, which was lit everywhere, and the left Shence army was more familiar with Luoyang geography and more organized.

After a day of fierce battle, Lu Long's army was defeated, and the main force was beaten out of Luoyang City. Li Chengye led the cavalry to pursue and kill more than ten thousand people again. On the first day of the fall of Luoyang City, he recaptured Luoyang City and completely took Lulong Jiedu envoy by surprise.

Looking at Luoyang, the God capital reflected by the fire, a trace of blood flashed in Li Chengye's tired eyes.

"The whole city's big cable thief army, those who know thieves, clan!"

His deputy general Xian Yuyuan was a little surprised. It didn't seem like Li Chengye's style.

Usually, after Li Chengye laid down a city, he would immediately restore order and appease the people. He would never do such a disturbing act. But at this time, once this order is issued, the Zuo Shence army, whose treatment is now halved, may well make a move of house robbery in the name of searching thieves.

If the owner's family dares to resist, as long as they throw a rebel's body in, they can lie that the owner's family is connected with thieves and kill indiscriminately. Who dares to complain?

"Manager, if you do this... It will bring disaster to God again..."

Xianyu yuan's tone became lower and lower until he couldn't go on. Because he saw the more obvious killing intention in Li Chengye's eyes.

Looking at the general promoted by himself, Li Chengye finally explained.

"The main force of the thief army has not been damaged. According to the dangerous pass of Wulao, Henan and Hebei are allowed to gallop. There may be other military towns behind it. This war has just begun, and the treatment of our Zuo Shence army has been halved, and the soldiers have suffered heavy losses. It is reasonable to say that the morale has been damaged again and again, and we can't fight!

Now they are willing to fight hard, attack hundreds of miles, attack the city and pull out the stronghold, and are willing to entrust their lives to fight for me. What I ask is that Li can get back their original treatment and restore their previous status!

But the National Treasury is empty, and there is no surplus money to reward the army? Let alone restore the previous treatment? Li really has no confidence in this aspect, so if we don't let all the sergeants and soldiers get their due hard-working money in this war, even if Li is behind, we can't drive them! "

Xianyu yuanche suddenly realized that the herald had handed down Li Chengye's military order. At that time, the veterans who had endured for a long time and had great pressure shouted happily and rushed to the rich families in the city. They no longer competed with their military companions for the treasures on the enemy's corpses.

Needless to say, if that rich family dares to resist, it will inevitably suffer from military disaster. This is called a thief passing like a comb and a soldier passing like a grate.

Xianyu yuanche couldn't bear it. He still said, "but what if the chaotic army collided with the dignitaries in the city?"

A trace of ridicule flashed across the corners of Li Chengye's mouth. "Shouldn't these people take the lead in relieving wealth when the country is in crisis? If you don't want to be rich, you deserve to be killed by the chaotic army! "

Moreover, Li Chengye knows that the real top door Lords have veterans stationed at their homes, and some scattered soldiers in the army will not touch this bad luck.

However, someone added an order that there were veterans in the city to guard the residence. They were not allowed to invade. The rest of the place was free, only today.

Even if he did so, he would certainly be impeached in the imperial court in the future, although Li Chengye could fool him with an excuse. However, those ministers of civil and military affairs will certainly put this hatred on Li Chengye and retaliate at any time.

But Li Chengye is not afraid, because his eldest son, Li Dingguo, now monopolizes the military power of one side and is a rare famous general in the world.

The family has a way back. I'm single. I'm afraid of him! If I want to win this battle, I just want to be stupid. Who can revenge me?

Luoyang, the capital of God, was first looted by the rebels, and then looted again by the left Shence army in the name of searching for thieves. His vitality was greatly damaged, no less than the harm caused by the fact that the Tang Dynasty invited Huihe reinforcements to attack the rebel vassal towns, directly taking the money and wealth of the children in Luoyang City as a gift of thanks and allowing the Huihe soldiers to loot and ravage.

However, after this looting, as long as the people who are still alive in the Zuo Shence army make a lot of money and boost their morale. It is completely different from the previous mentality of working hard for Li Chengye. There are some other meanings in it.

Li Chengye did not see any of the rich businessmen and bureaucrats in the city who came to complain about him. It was a group of people who petitioned to punish the disorderly army who gathered to avenge their grievances and dispersed them with their horses. It was completely different from the Confucian generals in the past.

The national logistics can afford to play. Naturally, he has the ability to maintain military discipline and morale, but when the national logistics can't afford to support him, he can only plunder and maintain morale.

At all times and in all countries, it is impossible for almost no army to maintain strong combat effectiveness in the case of poor logistics and difficult maintenance of the country. Except for the modern army in the early days of the founding of the people's Republic of China. But this is the only one. There is no semicolon. It can be called a miracle.

Li Chengye gathered troops here and was actively preparing for war.

The Daming Palace also received a memorial of what had happened in Shendu. If it was the former Emperor, he would be furious. Whether it was true or false, he would beat Li Chengye and deprive him of his military achievements.

But now the emperor only cares about himself.
