Chapter 41: The Loyal Soul Grass Leaves

Time goes back to the night of the war, outside the woodland of Da Xian Mountain, Bian Lingcheng and the hundred and ten Tang troops lurked in the bushes more than one person high, and suddenly saw the fire in the valley, knowing that Qin Jin and Na Fan would have done it. After waiting for another half an hour, the fire had already soared to the sky, but Qin Jin and the others still had no sign of coming out, not even the slightest news.

Suddenly, a thousand-horse team galloped out of the darkness and headed out of the post road into the valley. The Tang soldiers lurking in the bushes on the side of the mountain changed color.

Bian Lingcheng glanced at the blazing valley, and ordered with compassion: "Go, withdraw from here immediately!" For such a long time, Qin Jin and the others have not heard from them, and they are trapped in the valley and cannot get out, and now that the rebels have reinforcements arriving, he will not rush in to respond. Anyway, the fire is raging, and it is difficult to extinguish it. With this achievement, it is possible to steal it for himself, and the saint is happy, and perhaps he will be pardoned for the loss of the edict, and even more rewards will be given.

After all, after losing grain and grass, all Cui Qianyou's plans in Hongnong County will come to naught, and if he does not withdraw his troops, he will be in danger of starving to death at any time.

"General, Qin Changshi is still in the valley......"

A lieutenant was worried about Qin Jin who was trapped in the valley, Bian Lingcheng glared at him, and said in a strange manner: "Qin Changshi was martyred in battle, and a certain person will ask the sage for merit and compensation for him, and he has written it down?"

When the general of the prison gate said this, the captain was so frightened that he didn't say anything anymore, but he always felt in his heart that he couldn't do it against Qin Changshi, who was in danger of his life, but with the holy grace of the general of the prison gate, who would dare to disobey him?

……

After burning the forage granary, Qin Jin and Wuhu Huaizhong broke out of the camp. The rebels did not dare to pursue, and Wuhu Huaizhong sighed happily, and was anxious to go out of the valley to join Bian Lingcheng who was guarding outside.

Qin Jin pointed to a sheep intestine road leading to the eastern woodland: "Go over Da Xian Mountain and go to Shaanxi County!"

"The general of the prison gate is still outside......

Wuhu Huaizhong was puzzled, but Zheng Xianli high-fived and said, "It's so good, the eunuch is smart but is mistaken by the cleverness, and it is just right for the rebels to clean up!"

It is just a high ridge in the junction of Hongnong County and Shaanxi County. It's not easy to climb over a mountain beam, but it's not impossible.

Seeing that Qin Jin and Zheng Xianli seemed to be not very friendly to the prison general, Wu Hu Huaizhong immediately understood that they and Bian Lingcheng were inseparable, and this kind of trick of killing people with a knife was not uncommon in the Yan army. just pursed his lips disapprenorantly, "If you go over the mountain, you will go over the mountain, and it will be very noisy, and when Li Wanzhong thinks about it and chases it out, it will be a bad thing." ”

Wuhu Huaizhong wanted to burn Cui Qianyou's grain, firstly, in order to avenge Cui Qianyou's fall into the well of Tongluobu, and secondly, he also had the intention of revenge for Tumidu. I didn't expect to meet Li Wanzhong, who directly harmed Tumidu, here, and threw the iron halberd over, and if he didn't die, he would have to lose half his life. This revenge has been avenged, and I am in a good mood!

Zheng Xianli echoed loudly: "Yes, go over Da Xian Mountain, go to Shaanxi County, and vote for Dr. Gao!"

……

For a whole night, Qin Jin led his troops around Da Xian Mountain, with billowing smoke behind him, no one expected that a fire would ignite the woodland of Da Xian Mountain, and the fire spread rapidly under the wind, and it actually swept the entire Dan Xian Mountain Beam.

The forest and grass are dense in Da Xian Mountain, and I don't know when this fire will burn to finish.

"Brother Wuhu, Qin has never been strong, last night's Zhao Anzhi was also because Bian Lingcheng was there, and he had to do it as a last resort, if he didn't have the heart to return to the Tang Dynasty, he could lead his troops to leave now. ”

Qin Jin knew that Wuhu Huaizhong and his Tongluo tribe had suffered a big loss at the hands of the Tang army, and it was impossible to willingly submit to the Tang Dynasty. With at least two experiences of fighting side by side, he doesn't want to turn his face now.

Wu Hu Huaizhong's response did not hesitate.

"What did I do with the warriors of the Luo Division? If I say it, there will be no reason to change it!"

Qin Jin didn't give up, stared at Wuhu Huaizhong's eyes and said word by word: "Brother Wuhu, do you know where Qin was an official before?"

Wuhu Huaizhong wondered: "Where is the official and what do you have to do with me?"

"Xin'an!"

Gently spit out two, and a boulder blocked Qin Jin's chest seemed to disappear as well.

Hearing the word Xin'an, Wuhu Huaizhong was stunned at first, and then laughed again.

"Brother Qin, isn't that the mighty Xin'an County Lieutenant?" and then he patted his head again, "With such wisdom and bravery, who else can there be besides Brother Qin?"

This time, it was Qin Jin's turn to be a little confused, in order to avenge Tu Midu, this Hu man dared to turn his face with Cui Qianyou, how could he die in his hands with the leader of the Luo Department, this person didn't seem to care?

"Brother Qin thought about it, and Brother Tumidu was kind to me, and it was my duty to avenge him. Cui Qianyou took advantage of Li Wanzhong's danger to bully the same Luo Department too much, and harmed the Tumidu brothers, which is a personal vendetta. In the first battle of Xin'an, I and the Qin brothers each had their own masters, and they died in public battles, and they were upright, and personal enmity and public wars must not be mixed up. The warriors of Tongluobu have always respected the strong, and being able to serve under the command of the Qin brothers is exactly what we can't ask for. ”

After that, Wu Hu Huaizhong turned around and asked: "Qin Changshi is the county lieutenant who defeated me and the Luo Department in Xin'an, are you willing to obey the order?"

"Yes! Yes!"

This kind of change made Qin Jin really difficult to understand, the Tang army's methods against the rebel Hu soldiers were not ruthless, but these people did not seem to hold the hatred of Pao Ze's death and injury, and when they heard that they could serve under him, they were as excited as if they had been beaten with chicken blood.

Qin Jin has a habit of refusing to make a decision lightly whenever he has doubts, so he rarely hesitates to make a decision. Zheng Xianli, who was still on the side, gently pulled his sleeve and reminded in a low voice: "Shaofujun doesn't have to doubt, the Hu people are simple, they advocate the strong, and they don't have those crooked insects in the stomachs of the Han people." !”

With Zheng Xianli's reminder, Qin Jin no longer hesitated, and gladly accepted Wuhu Huaizhong's investment.

In fact, the hundreds of people led by Wuhu Huaizhong were only one of the defeated troops of the Tongluo Division, and that night of the vicious battle in Xin'an, more than half of the Hu soldiers of the Tongluo Division scattered and fled, and I don't know how many of them are scattered in the Sankun Mountains from the west of Xin'an to the Tongguan area.

At this time, there were two ways in front of Qin Jin, one was to turn into Chang'an and report the victory to Li Longji, the son of the Tang Dynasty. The second is to go to Shaanxi County and meet with Gao Xianzhi and Feng Changqing.

After thinking about it, Qin Jin really felt that the biggest regret last night was that he couldn't confirm with his own eyes that Bian Lingcheng was killed by the rebels. But judging from the situation last night, that eunuch is not familiar with military affairs, and it is not so easy to retreat calmly.

First of all, from Da Xian Mountain to Yuzhou City, there are rebel rangers everywhere, and the fire of Da Xian Mountain can be seen clearly for more than ten miles, all the rebel troops will inevitably take Da Xian Mountain as the center and flock to it, just imagine how lucky Bian Lingcheng has to be to escape.

Qin Jin and his entourage did not dare to blatantly take the post road, and most of the post roads from Hongnong County to the east of Shaanxi County were controlled by Cui Qianyou, and they could only gallop along the wasteland all the way to the northeast. However, the snow was deep and the grass was dense, and it was only two hours after dawn that he walked out less than thirty miles.

A large open field was revealed in the distance, and seeing that he couldn't get around, Qin Jin's mind immediately became nervous.

"It looks like a big lake ahead!" The sharp-eyed person immediately noticed that it was not an open field in front of him, but a large lake that seemed to be quite large.

After a while, they came to the lake, but they were shocked by the scene in front of them.

The large lake is staggered with broken ice, which is obviously destroyed by man, and then re-frozen after a night of north winds. But if you look closely, the ice is full of corpses that have been frozen into ice mounds, densely packed, and the situation is close to the hell of Ah Bi.

Qin Jin staggered a few steps, and a blue-black and cold "ice lump" was at his feet, his hands and feet were twisted in an extremely exaggerated manner, as if he was still struggling desperately, and his blue-black face was covered with ice, covering his expression that might have been painful, desperate, or hideous...... One two three four...... Qin Jin tried to count how few people there were, but after counting to a few hundred, he couldn't count them anymore......

"Shaofu Jun be careful, the floating ice is not solid!" Zheng Xianli reminded him, stopping Qin Jin from continuing to go to the ice.

Some of the soldiers had never seen such a horrific scene before, and they were lying on the snow and retching. But the gruel I drank yesterday had already been digested, and my stomach was empty, and I couldn't vomit anything if I wanted to.

Zheng Xianli and Wuhu Huaizhong were both characters who were killed from the sea of blood in the corpse mountain, and they were so shocked that they couldn't come back to their senses for a long time when they saw such a terrifying scene.

After identification, the vast majority of these people who were frozen into ice mounds were Tang soldiers, and Zheng Xianli roughly estimated that the corpses of Tang soldiers scattered all over the lake and died on the shore were at least about 30,000 or 20,000. Judging from the freezing level of the lake, this tragedy should have happened last night, before and after their sneak attack on the hay granary in Da Xian.

"It's Cui Qianyou!"

Cui Qianyou's strategy of besieging the city and sending reinforcements was finally implemented, and tens of thousands of Tang troops were killed in the first battle......

With the above judgment, the origins of these Tang soldiers who were ambushed and killed are also about to come out.

"These Tang troops are all from Shaanxi County, and they should be Gao Dafu's men!"

Zheng Xianli punched the snow and straightened up, his voice full of grief and excitement.

"How could Doctor Gao be so careless, and he fell for Cui Qianyou's trick of that dog thief!"

But they didn't dare to delay here for long, for fear that they would encounter rebels nearby and expose their hiding. In such an open field, once discovered by cavalry, it is almost impossible to escape. After a moment, the group continued along the great lake to the northeast, galloping for about half an hour, and stopped at a leeward hillside.

At this time, the joy of the success of the camp has been replaced by an endless haze, and everyone is lifeless, as if they have just experienced a great defeat.

"Why should Qin Changshi worry, he burned the military rations last night, even if Cui Qianyou has the power to return to heaven, he will not be able to turn into food, and he will be like a defeated jackal in the next two days, getting out of the egg with his tail between his legs!" Wu Hu Huaizhong expressed his opinion.

Qin Jin let out a long breath, even if Cui Qianyou was forced to withdraw his troops, the loss of tens of thousands of Tang troops in the first battle would be incalculable, and the blow to the Tang army in Shaanxi County and even the whole country would be immeasurable. He was even worried that this would cause Gao Xianzhi to burn down the Taiyuan warehouse in advance and retreat to Tongguan with his army. No, Hongnong County is still in the hands of Cui Qianyou, and if Gao Xianzhi retreats, he can only go to the east of the river and then detour to Tongguan.

At that time, the lost soldiers will lose their land again and again, and even the gods will be able to save their lives!
