Chapter 790: Heaven’s Will Has Divine Power
After leaving the Yan army, Luo You returned to the camp. The camp was a little noisy. The rebel army composed of Luo's brave warriors, Zhaocheng young and strong men, and righteous men from various countries in the Central Plains were cooking. When they saw Luo You, they all saluted.
He walked into the military tent and sat in the first seat. There were five other people in the tent. The three on the left were direct descendants, Luo You's brother Luo Xiao, Luo You's son Luo Chengzhi, and Luo You's nephew Luo Weizhi. The two on the right were Luo Xiang, the commander-in-chief of the brave warriors, and Lu Xi, the leader of the Central Plains righteous army. The elite of the Luo family and the righteous men who believed in King Su the most were all here.
After refilling tea for everyone, Luo You raised the steaming teacup and said solemnly: "This meeting with Murong Chengguang has made me very alert. Everyone, please listen to what I have to say.
Murong Chengguang integrated the Han and Hu peoples of Yan State, suppressed the threat from the internal and external enemies of Yan State, repelled the Han State's attack on Yan in the south, advanced westward to seize Taiyuan and other southern counties of Bingzhou. All the essence of Bingzhou fell into his hands. When the Luo family moved north, he first sent his father away and then communicated among the Hu people. He was a man of both civil and military skills and was a genius in diplomacy. He can be called a hero of the world!
Such an outstanding person has never been seen in our Luo family, but Heaven made him born in Xia land. Isn't this a fortune that goes against the fate of the Hu people and prospers?
However, the general trend is unstoppable, and human nature is often limited by knowledge. The way of heaven is omniscient, so how could it commit such a shallow mistake?
Although I have never met Shi Min and Shi Le mentioned by Murong Chengguang, I know that they must be the main characters of the Hu people who were born by heaven and surrounded by destiny.
These people have a tenacity that ordinary people do not have, and have incredible abilities that allow them to accomplish things that others cannot.
Shi Min fought two major battles. He first killed 5,000 Yan troops with a thousand men, and then defeated 20,000 Yan troops with more than a thousand men. He led the army with spears, destroyed the enemy's formation, killed the generals and seized the flags. He did not use any strategy, but fought hard until the big flag was broken into pieces. He broke the armor of a hundred people and returned with one man.
Ask yourself, if I hadn't led brave warriors, who in my Luo clan would have such divine power now?
"Throughout the 1,300 years of our Luo clan, there have only been three people: Duke Wu of Luo, who inherited the Zhou dynasty; Duke Zhaowuwei, who was favored by heaven; and Duke Shenxiao, who had invincible divine power."
The invincible Lord Shenxiao?
Lu Xi was a little curious. Duke Wu of Luo and Duke Wei of Zhaowu were well-known to the world, but Duke Shenxiao had never heard that the Luo family had such a peerless and powerful general.
Luo Xiao, who transformed into the Tianyi Sect and led the attack to destroy the Later Han Dynasty, is the biggest secret of the Luo family in the Han Dynasty. Even most of the Luo family do not know it, let alone outsiders?
Facing Luo You's words, the five men remained silent. Using strategies and using courage are completely different things. Heaven-shaking wisdom and incredible force are both things that can be encountered by chance but not sought after.
Luo You said solemnly: "Although the former Chanyu Yan Hui of Xianbei was an enemy, he was a wise ruler if he spoke the truth. After Yan Hui is gone, there are still capable people. We are all people who can go against the tide. This time we are going out to the grassland again, so we should be cautious."
The five of them clasped their fists and said in unison: "We will obey your orders!"
A stagnant atmosphere permeates the north and south of the Yellow River. As the saying goes, the Yellow River has a hundred harms but one benefit. The north and south of the Yellow River, which is shaped like a Chinese character "J", have always been a place of contention for military strategists.
Several months have passed since the State of Yan left the border, and the weather has gradually turned cooler, with gusts of cold air blowing in from the northwest, just like the mood of the Yan army at this moment. After two consecutive defeats, everything was covered in blood, and corpses and blood filled the hills and rivers. When night fell, there were rumors that the dead souls were sobbing and wailing very loudly, which made the Yan army feel frightened. This was exactly the reason why Murong Chengguang and Luo You discussed to make the Luo family the enemy of Shi Min.
The power of Yan State was strong. Murong Chengguang led another 60,000 troops forward. Luo You also led his army forward. The army was still extremely oppressive. Shi Le led the army and said to the people of Shi tribe with emotion: "The army of Yan and Luo family led a large army forward, three times the number of our Shi tribe. Among them, there are even brave warriors who are famous for thousands of years. But I am not afraid. The men of my Shi tribe are all brave and unparalleled. My great-grandson Shi Min is the reincarnation of the god of war and can defeat thousands of enemies. If we attack, we will definitely defeat the enemy in the mountains and rivers.
However, the sage said that using force is not as good as using wisdom. Although you can win, you will also suffer great losses and bloodshed. I don't want to do that. Of the eight tribes of Daxia, Yan, Murong, Tuoba, and Dugu are in the lead, and my Shi tribe is in the rear. I have already asked Tuoba and Yan for help, and I will avoid the sharp edge of Yan and Luo first, and plan for the future. The cattle, sheep, utensils, weapons, and felt tents are all on the horses and withdraw within three days. "
When Shi Hu and others heard this, they knew that Shi Le was not going to meet the enemy head-on, but wanted to lure the enemy deep into his territory and annihilate them by trickery. As for really escaping, that was impossible because the grasslands were all occupied by the Xianbei tribes and they could not migrate at will.
Luo You and Murong Chengguang led the army deep into the grassland. They saw an empty camp, so they confiscated the small tribes that did not have time to retreat, and led the army in pursuit. They caught up with Shi's group on the south bank of the Yellow River. Shi's group crossed the Yellow River by boat, and when they saw Luo and Murong Chengguang chasing them, Shi Le said loudly: "Shi Min, lead the army to meet the enemy and cover the retreat of the army."
Shi Min, who had been eager to fight with the Yan army and the Luo family, enthusiastically led the cavalry of the Shi tribe to come. Dust rose up under the horses' hooves. Before the yellow sand, there was the grand scene of thousands of horses charging. Behind the yellow sand, there were only camps and flags everywhere. In order to cross the river, the people of the Shi tribe even left their military tents on the south bank of the Yellow River.
Luo You looked at the fierce army on the opposite side and said to everyone in a deep voice: "Shi Min is as brave as a tiger and as violent as a wolf. Murong Chengguang does not want the Yan army to fight him. Luo should do it. He is very brave and good at destroying the enemy. Ten thousand enemies like this are willing to lead the elite to attack first. I should stand in the middle of the army as bait. Ah Xiang, you lead a thousand brave warriors to protect my side. All of them are wearing heavy armor and holding chain hammers to resist the enemy in front. Present it, do it. You two each lead a thousand brave warriors, wearing light armor, surround them on the left and right, cut off the connection between their elite cavalry and infantry, and the army will all advance, and you can kill them under their horses."
Upon hearing this, Luo Xiang, Luo Chengzhi and Luo Weizhi all clasped their fists and accepted the order. Luo You said with a worried look: "Chengzhi, Weizhi, Shi Min is brave and valiant, you two must be careful." The three of them bowed again, and then led their troops to prepare.
Seeing that Luo Shi really followed the agreement and stopped Shi Min, Murong Chengguang drew his sword and shouted to the Yan army: "Cross the river, kill the bandits, avenge our dead comrades, and let the bandits know the bravery of our Yan men."
Shi Min was ordered to come and stop the Yan army and Murong Chengguang, so he naturally couldn't let Murong Chengguang go. Then he saw that the Luo family warriors were divided into three groups, and about a thousand people were roaring to attack the Shi army crossing the river. His breathing suddenly became rapid, and his pupils suddenly lit up. Two thousand warriors left, didn't it mean -
Now, under the banner of the central army, where the head of the Luo family is standing, there are only a thousand people?
His eyes were like eagle torches, looking through the queue of thousands of people, and then he saw the figure with the holy mark. His face was majestic and solemn, and as calm as Mount Tai and the abyss. It was obvious at first glance that he was an extraordinary person. It was him!
The head of the Luo family!
Shi Min's breathing became rapid almost instantly, like a jackal, tiger or leopard that had been hungry for a long time and saw the most delicious meat. Who could resist such temptation?
On the battlefield, capture and kill a patriarch of the Luo family!
Even though Shi Min was such a cruel man, he knew that if he could do it, he would be feared by the world and achieve unprecedented fame, even becoming the bravest warrior on the grassland and the bravest warrior in the world.
All thoughts of intercepting the Yan army were instantly forgotten by him.
If he could capture and kill the head of the Luo family, this would be the greatest achievement of this battle. No matter how many people died, it would be worth it, as they were just some worthless lives.
When people are being stared at, they will have a mysterious feeling. Luo You stood under the big banner and soon felt that he was being stared at. He looked up and knew it was Shi Min. His features were too obvious, just like the ancient evil creature with a human head and a tiger and leopard body in the legend.
Luo You opened his mouth expressionlessly and said to Luo Xiang and Luo Xiao: "The plan of using me as bait seems to have been successful. Shi Min is probably only thinking about capturing and killing me now. You two should be prepared. In order not to arouse Shi Min's suspicion, Cheng Zhi and Wei Zhi's roundabout tactics may be slightly farther and slower.
Lu Xi will lead the Central Plains righteous army to help you hold on. However, there are many brave warriors in the righteous army, but they have a short running-in period and poor discipline. They cannot bear the heavy responsibility of defense. They can only assist from the side. They still have to rely on brave warriors and the men of Winter City. How strong is Shi Min? If he is at the level of Lord Shenxiao, I am afraid we will all die here today. If he is at the level of King Xiang and Lord Wu of Chu Xiongdun, the result is unknown. If he is at the level of Lord Wu of Luo, although I don’t know how many casualties there are today, he will definitely die. Pray to King Su. "
The two men had solemn expressions on their faces. Shi Min brandished his lance, and the Shi cavalry rushed out. Then he saw Luo You holding up his sword and shouting, "May the Su King be with you!"
After three loud shouts, the brave warriors all wore heavy armor, holding horse spears and marched forward in parallel. In front of the brave warriors, there were heavily armored infantrymen holding shields for defense, with long spears standing in the shields, defending like a hedgehog. These heavily armored infantrymen could make people fearful, but they were not completely defenseless, which made Shi Min lose the desire to bite.
The Luo family's army is as heavy as a mountain and as deep as an abyss. They are like reefs in the vast ocean. No matter how strong the waves, wind, and rain are, they just stand there motionless, unchanged for a thousand years or ten thousand years, until the end of time, until the ocean dries up, until the world changes drastically and the vast ocean turns into mulberry fields, then the reefs will wither and rot.
The more Shi Min rushed forward, the more he felt a sense of crisis. He was a natural god of war and had a strong sense of life and death. At this moment, he felt his hair stand on end. Death was approaching him from nowhere. He didn't know where it came from, but he was not stupid. He guessed that it came from Luo in front of him. Could this be a trap to lure the enemy deeper?
This thought flashed through Shi Min's mind, and his figure slowed down a bit. Luo You kept staring at Shi Min and realized the problem almost instantly. Luo Xiang and Luo Xiao protected him too closely, which made Shi Min feel like he was invincible.
Why this battle? To kill Shi Min!
The head of the Luo family has his own supernatural powers. Shi Le and Luo You have never seen them, but he is convinced in his heart that Shi Min is a man of destiny like Yan Hui.
In this case, we must kill him in this battle, and no one can stop us!
He had to use the Qianlidao sword to kill the Xianbei Chanyu, but that was a last resort. But at this moment, Luo You was not going to use the magic weapon to kill Shi Min.
If you ask Luo You which is more important, the divine artifact of destiny or the lives of the Luo family members, he naturally thinks that the lives of his family members are more important.
But if he was asked which was more important, the artifact or his own life, he would choose the artifact without hesitation.
For Luo You, everyone will die one day, it's just a matter of sooner or later. How can it be considered a problem to exchange limited life for an artifact of infinite existence?
All the family heads of previous generations have had this idea. Even in the minds of many members of the Luo family, spiritual soldiers, which are lifeless Taoist puppets, are far superior to themselves.
Human life is short and cannot be compared with such an eternal artifact.
When he thought of this, a trace of determination flashed across Luo You's face. He put on a helmet, held a lance in his hand, and rode forward on his horse. Some white hair leaked out from under the helmet, fluttering in the wind.
Luo Xiao and Luo Xiang didn't expect Luo You to go out in person. Just as they were about to persuade him, they heard Luo You sternly say, "Ah Xiao, I'll give you the magic staff. You return to the banner. I will personally lead the brave warriors to charge. Shi Min senses danger and feels that he can't kill me. He has already thought about retreating. We have to show him some flaws to give him hope."
Luo Xiang and Luo Xiao felt like their heads were about to explode when they heard this. Shi Min was a natural god of war and a top-notch general in terms of military strategy. Wouldn't it be courting death if they showed their flaws in front of him?
Then the two of them saw Luo You's eyes. How should they describe it?
Luo You's eyes were filled with indifference and bloodshot. With the belief of facing death with equanimity, the lance in his hand shook for a moment, and he said proudly: "An old horse in the stable has a thousand-mile ambition. A strong man in his old age has a fierce heart. When I was young, I could eat three catties of meat, wield a lance, and shoot a strong bow. After inheriting the noble position, I have been a little lazy. Now in my old age, with white hair, I also want the world to look at me and see if I can still eat.
Xizhi has inherited the throne, and the Luo family has a eldest son in Zhaocheng. If I live, I will return, and if I die, I will die. The Luo family will not be defeated by one person, at least not by a mediocre leader like me, Luo You. Today, I am lucky to be born under the fate of Shi Min, compared with my ancestors, my father, my uncles, brothers, aunts and sisters.
Besides, Hu Ming will be stained with Luo's blood. This is what the high priest said, and it has been proven. I am the head of the Luo family, so it naturally starts with me. Ah Xiang, I will hold the spear, and you hold the bow, and find an opportunity to kill him."
Luo Xiao was silent, he understood that his brother wanted to go a step further and use himself as bait. His brother thought that he was already in his twilight years with gray hair, and now the family’s priority was his own safety and life, he had completely forgotten about it, and his brother might even want to sacrifice his own life!
Luo You led his men forward after he finished speaking. Luo Xiang hurriedly followed Luo You. The brave warriors all shouted in unison. The effect of the head of the family personally going into battle was completely different.
The history of monarchs personally leading the army to fight in the wars that has been passed down since the Zhou Dynasty, and the glory of Duke Zhaowuwei personally leading the army to attack the Xiongnu royal court, seemed to be reborn at this moment.
Luo Xiao stood under the banner holding the magic staff. A thousand brave warriors began to accelerate and revealed a flaw. As a top fighter, Shi Min seized it almost instantly. The danger was gone and the opportunity came. Then his top war talent made him instinctively spur his horse forward!
