After returning to Bright Water City, Luo Shixin slept soundly for two days and two nights.
During the night raid on the Handong Army camp, Luo Shixin did not lose a single soldier. He killed and injured more than three thousand soldiers of the Handong Army, causing them to throw away their armor and lose their souls.
Even though he didn't manage to kill Liu Heita, Luo Shixin was very satisfied with the result.
Even though he didn't kill Liu Heita, he managed to capture Su Dingfang. This could be said to be the perfect ending.
On the night they returned from the Handong Army, Liu Heita gave the order to withdraw the Handong Army back to Mingzhou. The siege of Mingshui City was temporarily resolved.
Two days later, Luo Shixin woke up from his slumber.
The moment he woke up, he saw that the entire Bright Water City was in a state of excitement, especially the remaining soldiers. They were all drinking happily, and they were so drunk that they could not walk steadily. They did not care about General Ji at all.
Regarding this, Luo Shixin did not say anything. Originally, to them, they would definitely die in this battle of attack and defense in Bright Water City.
Now that they had narrowly escaped death and had even repelled the Handong Army, it was normal for them to vent their anger.
Luo Shixin did not celebrate with the soldiers. Instead, he went straight to Mingshui Prison.
At this moment, Su Dingfang was locked up in Mingshui Prison.
Because when he came back, Luo Shixin had instructed him not to treat Su Dingfang badly.
Therefore, although Su Dingfang was locked in the prison cell, he did not receive the same treatment as the food in the prison. On the contrary, he was treated well.
Other than the cell he was in, he was no different from an ordinary person.
Seeing Luo Shixin arrive, Su Dingfang did not speak and just sat there quietly.
Luo Shixin chuckled and ordered someone to open the cell. Then, he picked up the wine jar and poured two bowls of wine.
Luo Shixin handed Su Dingfang a bowl of wine, but Su Dingfang turned his head away and did not take it.
"So Little General Su doesn't drink wine. Wine is a good thing. It can strengthen a person's courage and warm a man's heart. General Su must learn to drink in the future.”
Even though Su Dingfang had disrespected him, Luo Shixin was not angry at all. He drank by himself.
Su Dingfang first turned his head away. After a while, he looked straight at Luo Shixin.
All along, rumors had it that Luo Shixin was a peerless fierce general, but at the same time, he was also a foolish general. He only knew how to charge into battle and did not know anything else. However, from the first time he met him until now, Su Dingfang really could not associate this person in front of him with the Luo Shixin in the rumors.
"General Su, are you dissatisfied with being captured this time?”Luo Shixin said after drinking two bowls of wine.
"General Luo's divine might is peerless. Dingfang is only a prisoner now, how can he not be convinced?”Su Dingfang said coldly.
Luo Shixin laughed and said," You're still young, but everything is written on your face. You still want to convince me? General Su, how about this? Let's make a bet."”
Su Dingfang looked at Luo Shixin in confusion. After a while, he said,""What bet?"
"Within a month, I will kill Liu Heita. If I can't kill him within a month, I will let you out. You can do whatever you want, but if I kill him within a month, you will have to acknowledge me as your big brother.”Luo Shixin said.
Su Dingfang looked at Luo Shixin, his brows slightly furrowed, and his expression clearly became grave.
Although Liu Heita had suffered heavy losses, he still had nearly forty thousand soldiers, and he had allied with Xu Yuanlang and Gao Zhandao, as well as the help of the Turkic Jie Li Khan.
Not to mention Luo Shixin, even the King of Qin, Li Shimin, could not guarantee that he could annihilate Liu Heita within a month.
He did not know where Luo Shixin's confidence came from.
However, looking at Luo Shixin's confident look, Su Dingfang was immediately puzzled.
"Why isn't General Su speaking? Could it be that he didn't dare to gamble? Or do you also think that I will kill Liu Heita within a month?”Luo Shixin laughed.
"Fine, I'll bet. I hope you can fulfill the bet in a month and let me out.”
As he spoke, Su Dingfang picked up a bowl of wine and downed it in one gulp.
Luo Shixin laughed out loud and patted Su Dingfang's shoulder.
"Stay by my side for this month.”
Luo Shixin stood up and left. The cell door was wide open and never closed again. The jailer beside him also walked over respectfully.
"General Su, please move to the City Lord's Mansion."
……
At the same time, east of Mingzhou, on the south bank of Mingshui.
The wind and snow gradually dissipated.
Li Shi Min led a few light cavalry to a hill.
This hill was just enough to see Liu Heita's military camp on the other side.
At this moment, Liu Heita's camp was in a mess, and there were still some people retreating.
"Xuanling, Ruhui, it's been seven days and seven nights. Why do you think Liu Heita is retreating now?”
There were two people standing behind Li Shiming. They were none other than his two most important advisors, Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui.
"It's very simple. He's scared. He's been scared by General Luo's killing. Adding on the soldiers he lost in the previous battle with us, he claimed to have an army of 50,000, but now he only has 30,000 to 40,000 left. If he doesn't retreat now, I'm afraid he won't have the chance to.”Fang Xuanling said.
"Then tell me, what does he want to do the most now?”Li Shi Min said.
"It's very simple. Gather your troops in Ming Zhou and fight to the death with us.”Du Ruhui said.
"He's dreaming." Li Shi Min laughed. " Alright, let's not talk about it anymore. Let's hurry to Ming Shui City. It's time to see our great hero, Luo Shixin. These few days have been hard on him. If it wasn't for him fighting hard for eight days and eight nights, dragging Liu Heita's army here and buying us some time to join up with the Luo Yi alliance army and complete the encirclement of Ming Zhou, we might not have been able to win this battle.”
Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui nodded."General Luo is truly a peerless and fierce general. His bravery is not inferior to the West Chu Overlord.”
