Snake Tale

On the battlefield where the arrows rained down, Luo Yi Lema looked up at the enemy's banner, his blue eyes reflected the rouge-colored blood on the city wall.

Behind him, the soldiers of Luo's Mansion lined up, their clothes and armor were bright, and they were as silent as an abyss.Thousands of pairs of eyes stared at the silent prince in front of the battle, waiting for an order, but his horse head followed.

"Report to you!" The herald knelt in front of Luo Yi's horse, his face covered with blood, and he was in a state of embarrassment, and said, "The commander has urged you three times to order the Luo family to attack the city—"

"*Fucking old man Huan Guo!" The adjutant next to him couldn't hold back, and yelled: "I hid in the back of the formation and pretended to be the leader of the army, and asked us Luo family to charge and die - how can there be such a beautiful thing in the world? Tell him to dream!"

Luo Yi looked deeply, and asked, "Where is Zheng's army?"

The herald's expression became very embarrassed: "Unfortunately, Commander Zheng was injured and was busy summoning medical staff to treat him, so he couldn't arrive in time..."

The adjutant wondered: "Old Zheng Su has been huddled in his precious car inlaid with gold and jade all day long. He has never been in a battle circle at all. Where did he get injured?"

The herald hesitantly said: "I heard that... because of the bumpy march, the accompanying Meiji accidentally touched Master Zheng's hand when she was peeling the fruit..."

"Damn it!" The adjutant cursed and turned to Luo Yi, unable to hide his anxious expression: "Your Majesty! The Zheng family can't be counted on. Huan Guo, relying on the name of the commander, forced Luo Yi time and time again. What should we do if we attack the city?"

"The enemy's arrogance is in full swing right now, it's far from the right time to attack the city." Luo Yi said coldly, "Huan Guo has always been afraid of the Luo family's strong troops, and this is intentionally trying to make us work in vain and increase casualties."

Among the princes of the Jin State, the Huan family, who was of the Chengyin family lineage, was the most powerful and the most extensive in terms of territory.Huan Guo, the patriarch of the Huan family, was arrogant and indulgent, and often took advantage of his status as a public clan to snatch the territories of other officials, and the officials dared not speak out.In the past few years, the Luo family, which was originally located in a remote place, came from behind, and there was a faint tendency to conflict with the Huan family, which made Huan Guo very dissatisfied and made things difficult for the court.Now that there is such an opportunity to bully others on the battlefield, how can he handle it lightly?

"Don't worry," Luo Yi's tone became forceful, "All the soldiers of the Luo family are elites who have been tempered to steel. I will never sacrifice a single soldier of my Luo family for the selfishness of the Huanzhuang clan!"

The head of the family has this responsibility, and the generals naturally feel a little relieved.The only one who couldn't make peace was thinking that the Patriarch of the Huan family had hated the Luo family for a long time, if Luo Yi insisted on not obeying the order, Huan Guo might not be willing to be kind.

Sure enough, after a while, there was a burst of sand and dust, and it was Huan Guo who led his personal guards to rush over.He rushed to the front of the formation, reined in his horse's head, and asked angrily, "Why didn't you obey the order?"

Luo Yi replied calmly: "The way to attack a city is nothing more than the twelve strategies of approaching, hooking, rushing, ladders, mounds, water, holes, bursts, holes, ants, rams, and xuan chariots; There are prisoners of war and slaves who can act as forwards. I don’t know why it was ordered that the soldiers of the Luo family must fight with their bodies? The military order is inexplicable, and I’m afraid there may be some mistakes in the back and forth, so I’d like to ask the commander to give another instruction.”

There is still room for this.However, Huan Guo thought that Luo Yi was questioning his incompetence in military affairs, so he immediately glared and asked, "Are you the commander in chief, or am I the commander in chief? The military order is like a mountain, and you can evade it like this!"

"Naturally, you are the commander." Luo Yi was neither humble nor overbearing, and replied coldly: "The first achievement of breaking into the city, I must ask the commander to accept it first!"

Unable to argue with Luo Yi in terms of rhetoric, Huan Guo became angry with embarrassment, and scolded: "You lowly barbarian! Cowardly and timid! I don't know why Luo Jian made you his heir?" With a flick of the horsewhip, Pointing at Luo Yi's face extremely rudely, he said with a contemptuous and frivolous grin, "Did you ask Luo Jian for this face?"

Luo's generals suddenly changed color, and the aggressive ones even drew their swords out of their sheaths.Luo Yi was also burning with anger, and tightly grasped Huan Guo's whip - Huan Guo felt a strong force running along the whip, almost pulling him over, so he had to let go in a hurry to avoid falling off the horse. What a shame!

And Luo Yi quickly woke up.Raising his hands to stop his subordinates, he got off his horse and returned Huan Guo's whip with both hands.Holding back his anger, he said with a bright smile: "The reason why the late king made me his heir is because I have the word 'forbearance', even though I have nothing else to do with him——thinking about it, this shouldn't be harmful to the Luo family. Let's go!" He hinted unhurriedly, at the moment the enemy army is in front of them, it is too inappropriate to openly mess up their positions!If something goes wrong, Huan Guo, as the coach, will bear the brunt of it and cannot escape the blame.

Huan Guo looked at the Luo family general who was holding his fists and captivating his sleeves and glaring at him, no matter how unwilling he was, he had no choice but to retreat along the steps in a timely manner.Luo Yi stood in front of the horse, watched Huan Guo go away with a smile, but when he turned around, his face was sullen.

"When the time comes, all the generals will follow my orders and lead the troops to attack the city." Luo Yi ordered coldly, "So that the Huan family can see our Luo family's bravery! If you don't have an enemy's head around your waist, don't come back to see me! "

"--Yes!"

Luo's sergeant was encouraged and responded like thunder.Sure enough, when the city was breached by stone cannons, when the marching horn blew, Luo's army rushed out of the gate like tigers, and rushed into the city gate.All the soldiers ignored the commander's troops waving the flag hoarsely, and only listened to Luo Yi's order to advance and retreat, and took advantage of the situation to smash Huan's formation into pieces.By the time Huan Guo had rectified his formation angrily, all the enemy generals had been captured and dismounted by Luo's army.

The great victory in this battle also laid a lead for the further intensification of the conflict between the Luo family and the Huan family.At the celebration banquet three days later, Huan Guo, who had already accumulated a lot of anger, took advantage of his drunkenness and forced Luo Yi to drink as a companion.After being politely rejected by Luo Yiqian, Huan Guo became furious, yelling and cursing, and even threw the wine bottle, hurting Luo Yi's forehead.

All the audience was in an uproar for a while, Luo's sergeant was furious, and drew his sword in his hand. A celebration feast was about to become a blood-splattered Shura field.Luckily, Luo Yi restrained himself and stopped the angry subordinates after the incident in time, leaving the table early and returning to the tent.

"The Huan clan is exhausted!"

Inside the camp, big tallow candles with thick arms reflected the angry faces of Luo's generals.However, Luo Yi, who was surrounded by everyone, seemed particularly deep and calm.He calmly wiped away the blood dripping from his eyebrows, and spoke first, saying this.

Everyone looked at each other in astonishment.Slowly chewing on the deep meaning in Luo Yi's words, it was enlightening.It is so absurd and unheard of for Huan Guo to openly assault a minister of a country in full view.However, just because of this appalling, it can be imagined that Patriarch Huan's stupidity and ferocity have reached the point of no return.The head of the family, who bears the honor and disgrace of the family, pays attention to the prudence and thoroughness of being vigilant day and night, as if walking on thin ice. How can there be any reason why he should not seek his own destruction if he is as violent and reckless as Huan Guo?

Having figured this out, the rage that everyone had fought to the death was finally able to recede a bit.But there was still a sense of resentment and regret welling up in my heart.Someone said in annoyance: "Ah! It's just that the prince was wronged and humiliated. As subordinates, how can we feel at ease?"

"Ten years is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge. What's more, the Huan family's fall is just around the corner." Luo Yi drank the medicinal soup brought by the medical staff, looked around at his loyal generals, and said with a smile: "In the future, I will return to you." I want to ask you all to cut off the head of that fellow for me—"

He smiled grimly, his green eyes bursting out with dangerous and dazzling firelight under the lamp:

"I will make it into a wine vessel and drink with you all."
