【Yueguo.Huaqing】

The armored soldier trotted up to a middle-aged man and bowed, "Lord Jiang, the news from Yi Yin on the front line." ”

That Master Jiang took the other party's letter, opened it, looked at it, and let go of it and groaned. Behind him came a plump woman with peach blossom eyes, looking a little more beautiful, "What did my brother say in the letter?"

The middle-aged man shook the letter in his hand and pressed his forehead, "Kaifeng's reinforcements did not come as agreed, and Zagu did not take his advice to avoid the rebels temporarily. He looked tired, "The strategy of flanking the front and back was proposed by the old guy from Wang Ge, and it is impossible for them not to act according to the agreement." ”

The woman looked at each other, she sighed, "My lord, this person is brave and unscrupulous, extremely arrogant, and there is no one in his eyes, I would have advised you to find someone else this time." As she spoke, she walked to the middle-aged man's side, took the other party's letter and looked at it, "Kaifeng's assistance can't arrive on time, I'm afraid it's some trouble, my lord can send troops to Jiangyou to rescue at this time, and at the same time repair a book for people to take to Kaifeng to ask." ”

The middle-aged man muttered for a while, and he summoned a soldier to give a few commands. At this time, the woman spoke again, frowning, "My lord, in times of war, you should take all possible measures, and you can order people to repair the fortifications in case the enemy attacks after the defeat of the front line. ”

"Huh. When the middle-aged man heard the woman's words, he stroked his beard and laughed, "Guan'er is too worried, even if Jiangyou recruits more than 10,000 troops, even if they defeat Zagu, how many people are available?"

"Xiang Yiming is very comparable, there are still a few counties in this country that are undecided, the king doesn't want to want this group of undecided people to see hope, we..."

"Don't worry, if the thief army can survive for a month, General Zhao will come in person. The middle-aged man smiled, "Even if Xiang Yiming is a dragon among people, how many waves can he stir up in front of General Zhao?"

After hearing this, the woman looked like she wanted to speak and stopped, the middle-aged man's words were not unreasonable, even if the thief army in Jiangyou recruited more than 10,000 troops, it was okay to defend the city, but it was difficult to attack the city.

...........

One day later.

night

The Huaqing soldiers who temporarily went to support Zagu set up a temporary camp, and the soldiers on the periphery of the camp walked back and forth with torches, yawning for a long time.

"Cheer up, Hu Xiao, Mrs. Yi has warned us to be careful along the way. As soon as he turned around, he saw Hu Xiaoshuang behind him yawning blankly, and couldn't help reminding, "My eyelids are always jumping, and I cheer up." ”

"Alas, with General Zagu at the front, we have nothing to worry about. Hu Xiao, who was taught a lesson, muttered, disapproving of Shi Chang's worries, when he raised his head and continued to speak, he felt a pain in his throat, and a big hand covered his mouth, and then his eyes widened, his throat seemed to be clamped, and he couldn't make a sound, and the blade had cut off his throat.

"But aren't you afraid that something will happen to you?" The chief in front didn't notice anything unusual, he pulled his cuffs, and his ears were full of snoring mountain wind. The wind at night was still a little cold, and he muttered dissatisfiedly, "Damn, let's hurry up and patrol and play, this wind is blowing too fucking cold." ”

There was no reply, he continued to walk a few steps, and finally found something unusual, and called out in a low voice, "Hu Xiao, your grandmother should answer my sentence!"

The black-clothed men who had disposed of Hu Xiao's soldiers behind them stood neatly, and they all raised the torches in their hands, ignoring Shi Chang's words.

"Hu Xiao... Hu Xiao..."Shi Chang panicked and couldn't help twisting his stiff neck and looking back, this sight almost shocked his soul.

The black-clothed man at the head raised his hand, and the cold sword rested on Shi Chang's neck, "Don't move, I don't want to kill another person." When he said this, he turned his head, and the man who was standing behind him understood what he meant, and went out and took out the rope and walked towards the chief.

The young chief's mouth was slightly open, but he didn't make a sound, his face was pale, and he didn't dare to move when he saw the two men in black coming.

A few men tied up the chief and quickly retreated, and on the high slope not far away, three or four thousand people stood there, hiding in the dark.

The man in black gradually approached, and the leader kicked out the bound Shi Chang, looked at a man in silver armor in front of him by the faint moonlight, and knelt down on one knee, "General Xiang, people, we have arrested you." ”

Xiang Yiming bowed his waist and pulled out the rags from the chief's mouth, "You are from Huaqing, right?"

Shi Chang lowered his head, didn't look at Xiang Yiming's eyes, and opened his mouth slightly.

"Capture Huaqing, you can be promoted to centurion!" Xiang Yiming stood up, turned his back to Shi Chang, and changed his words, "You can also retain your loyalty to Huaqing and die with this loyalty." ”

After Xiang Yiming said this, the soldiers around them pulled out their weapons in unison, took a step forward, surrounded Shi Chang in a small circle, and shook the weapons in their hands.

The chief raised his head slightly, shrunk his neck again, his back seemed to be folded, and he was prostrate on the ground, "The small square stone is the former commander of the Huaqing Army." ”

Xiang Yiming carried him on his back, looked at the slight fire at the foot of the mountain, and glanced at Shu Liang beside him, "I really didn't expect to meet them so soon, this firelight is a little interesting." ”

Shu Liang shook his head, they had planned to rush to Huaqing for several days, but the scouts who didn't want to send out saw the fire and discovered the traces of the enemy. He turned his head, looked at the prostrate Shi Chang on the ground, and said, "How many of you are there?" ”

"If you go back to your lordship, we have a total of more than 2,000 people on this trip, and we are indeed going.... Jiangyou supports General Zagu. Shi Chang spoke tremblingly, and his eyes were full of fear.

"How many people are there in Huaqing City?"

"The city was defended by less than two thousand soldiers. Shi Chang replied.

Shu Liang turned his head and looked in the direction of the firelight, "It's a pity, they are going to Jiangyou, otherwise their identities can be used, and Huaqing can be outwitted without a single soldier." ”

"Huh. Xiang Yiming laughed out loud and pointed to the fire below, "Aren't you satisfied with this piece of fat?" After speaking, he rode his horse to the foot of the mountain, and the soldiers behind followed.

Half an hour later, most of the Huaqing soldiers who had gone to support Jiangyou shrank into a clearing and were disarmed. Beside them were the cavalry on surveillance and the infantry with Mo's knives forming a wall, looking at them coldly.
