"Knock, knock, knock" The drumming soldiers in Han Tao's barracks slammed the war drums three times, and the sound resounded throughout the barracks. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Han Tao's 30,000 troops were stationed ten miles southwest of Jiangyuan City, and it has been three days now. In the course of three days, not only was the previous purge restored, but the mood of the soldiers was very stable, and the mutiny that he feared did not break out. For this, Han Tao's heart was very relieved.

And the reason why he is stationed here, Han Tao has also put a lot of effort. First of all, this position was backed by Jiangyuan City, which prevented the Song army from sneaking up from the rear; Secondly, this location also complements the weak defenses of the west gate and south gate of Jiangyuan City. If it were someone else, I am afraid that I would not have thought it through so thoroughly. But even so, the north and east gates of Jiangyuan City were directly exposed to the enemy, which was also a headache for Han Tao.

Qi Yuanzhen informed Han Tao of the military situation of the Song army, and expressed Qingyunzhai's desire to be loyal to the imperial court.

In view of this situation, Han Tao wanted Qi Yuanzhen to lead the local defenders to hold a military meeting in the barracks to discuss defensive measures.

In the beginning, the local defenders will be very resistant. Among them, Dong Yuan was particularly intense. In his opinion, Han Tao should have led a team to the city, instead of letting Lord Qi go in person. Moreover, the vengeance of the rod has not yet been avenged.

In Qi Yuanzhen's opinion, seeing that the big war is imminent, there really shouldn't be any more conflicts. Therefore, he said that he would personally rush to Han Tao's military camp to attend the military meeting. In this way, the other defenders said no more.

In the big tent, the reinforcement generals brought by Han Tao and the local generals of Jiangyuan City, a total of eleven people, walked in from outside the tent and lined up on both sides. Qi Yuanzhen's seat was parallel to the handsome seat, and Han Xiaoyue was standing next to the handsome seat.

Qi Yuanzhen and the generals have all gathered and are waiting for Han Tao.

While waiting, everyone chatted quietly together. And among the local guards of Jiangyuan City, they were also whispering at this time.

Dong Yuan is still young, and most of the stick wounds on his waist and buttocks have healed, but when standing, his body must lean forward slightly to reduce the weight of his hips.

Dong Yuan whispered to the young generals beside him: "This Han Tao really doesn't know the general situation, let Lord Taishou come to this military camp." Lord Taishou is also too weak, in my opinion, he must insist on holding this meeting in Jiangyuan City, let him Han Tao go back and forth! ”

The young general sighed and said, "Since the reinforcements came, not only the people in the city have been oppressed, but even we have felt oppressed. After all, they are officials of the imperial court, and there are many people, so there are few of us! ”

"Isn't it!" Another young player added, "The first day of my arrival was until noon. Now, the military situation is urgent, and we are all here, but he Han Tao has not yet appeared! Speaking of urgency, the young general involuntarily raised his voice.

"Shh Dong Yuan hurriedly motioned to him to make a smaller voice, "Brother, be quieter, this is not our realm!" ”

Dong Yuan was afraid that Han Xiaoyue would hear these words. In fact, Han Xiaoyue had already heard their discussions. It's just that his father Han Tao repeatedly asked him to restrain himself, so he didn't quarrel with them.

"General Han has arrived!" With a notification, Han Tao walked in from outside the tent.

"Generals, Han is only entangled in important matters, come one step late, please forgive me!" As he spoke, Han Tao clenched his fists and gave a deep salute.

Qi Yuanzhen hurriedly stood up and said, "General Han, where is it." Military affairs are busy, a reasonable thing! ”

Han Tao looked at the eleven generals in the tent, nodded, and said, "Lord Qi has obtained important military information from Qingyun Village, and the Song army is expected to reach the boundary of Jiangyuan City in ten days. Our emperor is wise, and has sent my father and son and many elite soldiers to defend against the enemy. We are waiting for work, and the odds are great. I don't know if you have any strategies to defend against the enemy, so you might as well discuss it together. ”

Qi Yuanzhen added: "Three days ago, Qingyunzhai sent someone to meet me and presented a secret letter from the enemy general to Long Jiu. What was written in the letter was to make Long Jiu treason and surrender to the enemy. It is gratifying that although Long Jiu and Qingyunzhai have been the victim in recent years, in the face of major rights and wrongs, Long Jiu is still on the side of the imperial court. This information is very valuable, please speak freely, speak freely! ”

As soon as the words fell, the generals began to discuss.

Qi Yuanzhen glanced at the generals and said, "Generals, don't whisper below. There is no good plan, but it doesn't hurt to say. There's still plenty of time and we have enough energy to set up the defence. As he spoke, his eyes fell on Dong Yuan's body.

Dong Yuan understood Qi Yuanzhen's intentions. This is the first military meeting after Han Tao and his son came to Jiangyuan City, if he can put forward constructive suggestions, he will also play a leading position in the future defensive battle, and will not let his father and son compete for the limelight.

Dong Yuan took a step, clenched his fists and arched his hands: "Lord Qi, the last general wants to say a few words!" ”

Dong Yuan opened his mouth and only called Lord Qi, but left Han Tao aside. Han Xiaoyue couldn't help but feel a burst of displeasure in her heart.

Qi Yuanzhen waved his hand and said with satisfaction: "General Dong, speak slowly!" ”

"Yes!" Dong Yuan said and straightened up, "My lord, Jiangyuan City has a strong defense, abundant grain and grass, and with General Han's 30,000 reinforcements, it can be said that it is both offensive and defensive. At present, General Han stationed his army in the southwest, in the rear of the entire city defense, and placed Jiangyuan City on the front line. Of course, this practice could prevent the Song army from besieging the city. However, once the Song army switched to other tactics, I am afraid that it would have little effect. ”

After hearing this, Han Tao smiled softly and said, "Then according to General Dong, how should Han set up camp?" ”

Dong Yuan glanced at him and said, "General Han has made great achievements, how can he not set up camp?" ”

"Humph!" Han Xiaoyue took a step forward from behind Han Tao and said, "Little general, dare to make a mistake?" ”

Han Tao waved his hand and said, "Xiaoyue, don't be impatient. Let's listen to General Dong's high arguments first! ”

Dong Yuan looked around and felt that it was not suitable to be too disrespectful to Han Tao on this occasion, after all, he was an official of the imperial court. So, he clenched his fists and bowed his hands, bowed deeply, and said: "General Han, Fang Cai's words are so offensive, please forgive me!" As he spoke, he straightened up, "According to the opinion of the last general, General Han should divide the soldiers and horses into two roads. One road in the southwest, one road in the northeast, two sides of the arch to defend the source of the river. When the Song army attacked the north gate or the east gate, the northeast reinforcements could respond; The Song army attacked the south gate, and the southwest reinforcements could respond from it. In this way, it is the best solution. After speaking, Dong Yuan returned to the queue.

Han Tao nodded, thinking in his heart: "Although this Dong Yuan is in agreement with me in his words, he is offended. However, it is indeed a loyal and brave general, and I have a place with me. Thinking of this, Han Tao said: "What General Dong said is very reasonable, but dividing troops is not the first choice. The strength is limited, and if the troops are divided to defend the northeast direction, I am afraid that it will not have any deterrent effect on the Song army at all. If the Holy Lord can send more people to come at this moment, maybe he can consider this method. ”

Speaking of this, a soldier outside the tent announced: "Report! Outside the camp, there are three people who call themselves Qingyunzhai who ask to see them! ”

Han Tao glanced at Qi Yuanzhen, and Qi Yuanzhen immediately responded: "Please!" After speaking, he said to Han Tao, "Don't hide it, Qingyunzhai said three days ago that they would come to me three days later, so I made an appointment with them here." ”

Han Tao nodded and said, "It's so good, I can serve the imperial court, if I have merit, I will ask for a reward." ”

Between the words, three people walked in from outside the big tent. Han Xiaoyue saw at a glance that among the three people, there was the owner of the handkerchief with the scent of flowers and plants-Long Yan. And Long Yan also saw Han Xiaoyue behind Han Tao. The corners of the two people's mouths rose slightly, revealing a smile.

It turned out that after Long Yan returned to Qingyun Village, she took Han Xiaoyue's jade pendant with her day and night. Whenever he saw Yu Pei, he thought of the little general who seemed stupid to him. When his father planned to rush to the barracks today to discuss important matters, Long Yan strongly asked to go with him. Long Jiu had planned to let her come to see the world and increase her experience. didn't know that the purpose of Long Yan's trip was to meet this "stupid" little general.

The three of them clasped their fists and bowed their hands, bowed deeply, and said, "The grass people meet Lord Qi and General Han!" ”

Qi Yuanzhen raised his hand and said, "No courtesy!" The owner of the village came in person, which shows your loyalty to the imperial court. Come, give a seat! As he spoke, he ordered the chairs to come over to the left and right.

"Thank you, sir!" After that, the three of them were not polite and sat down directly.

Standing in the middle of the three is none other than Long Jiu, the owner of Qingyun Village. Long Jiu has wide eyebrows and thick eyes, lush body hair on his body and face, big shoulders and round waist, and fierce eyes, and at first glance he definitely does not look good. But he is a man of temperament, generous to others, and very considerate and caring for his subordinates. Most of the people in Qingyun Village have received his favor and are very loyal to him. His daughters Long Yan and Li Yizheng stood on either side of him.

The generals saw that these three people were sitting in the seats given by Qi Yuanzhen, and they all looked at each other: they were still standing on both sides, but they gave the three bandits seats. In their opinion, no matter how great Long Jiu's merits are, a bandit is a bandit.

Qi Yuanzhen saw that the generals were discussing, so he cleared his throat and said, "All the military information in this military meeting comes from the three friends of Qingyun Village in front of you. Do you have any comments? ”

When the generals saw this, they were silent.

Long Jiu stood up and said, "My lord, general. Just outside the tent, the grass people heard what the little general said, but it was a good policy. If the general and the adult have no soldiers to separate, the grass people will lead Qingyunzhai up and down to defend the northeast direction to ensure that several city gates are foolproof! ”

After hearing this, Dong Yuan stood up and said: "My lord, this Qingyun Village has been harming Jiangyuan City for many years, and this time the enemy is currently in danger, I am afraid that it has ill intentions!" ”

Li Yizheng slowly stood up, took out the secret letter written by Zhao Zhun to Long Jiu on his body, and said: "Zhao Zhun, the general of the Song Army, has a secret letter here, and the letter contains a thousand ways for the owner of my village, but the owner of my village is still loyal to the court, which shows sincerity. Why did this little general say this? Don't believe it, you look slowly! ”

The corners of Dong Yuan's mouth twitched, and he chuckled: "Hmph! What I should have been, it turned out to be just a secret letter. Zhao Zhunqi has never seen anyone else, let alone his handwriting. It's so easy to forge a secret letter that there's no evidence at all. ”

"You!" Li Yizheng was speechless when he said this. Because a secret letter is indeed very easy to forge, especially since no one has ever seen his handwriting.

Long Jiu patted Li Yizheng and motioned for him to step back. He clenched his fists, knelt down on one knee and said, "My lord, General Mingjian." The secret letter was indeed written by Zhao Zhun, and the letter was brought to me by his general Zhang Qi a few days ago, and this matter is absolutely true. If nothing else, there must be a fine work left by Zhang Qi in Jiangyuan City. ”

When Qi Yuanzhen heard Dong Yuan's remarks, he also felt that things were not so simple, so he asked: "So, do you have any evidence for this matter?" ”

"This ......" Long Jiu didn't know what to do, after all, the envoys of the Song army came and went in a hurry, and he couldn't leave any evidence at all.

Dong Yuan saw that he was speechless, so he said: "My lord, I think this Qingyun Village is not credible, and even the authenticity of this Song State army is unknown. Perhaps, this is Qingyunzhai taking the opportunity to take advantage of the chaos to rebel! ”

"Rebellion?" The generals suddenly whispered.

"Humph!" Long Yan, who had been sitting behind her, heard this, stood up and said, "You little general, you really don't know what to do. The survival of Jiangyuan City has nothing to do with us. My father thought of the friendship of his fellow villagers and the safety of the court, so he stepped forward. Don't let go of glory and wealth, but tell you about such an important thing! It's so infuriating! ”

Dong Yuan looked Long Yan up and down, and sneered: "Heh! Who should I be, it turned out to be a woman. Is this barracks also a place where women should appear? ”

Long Yan suddenly became angry and pulled out the pair of galaxy rings from his waist.

Seeing this, Long Jiu hurriedly stopped Long Yan and scolded angrily: "Yan'er, don't be rude!" Don't talk too much about adult things! As he spoke, he slowly stood up and said, "My lord, generals! What Long Jiu said is true. If we don't believe in Long Jiu, we will fight separately. In the future, on the battlefield, you will know who I Long Jiu is! Leave! "After that, pull up Long Yan and leave the big tent.

"Want to go?" Dong Yuan took down his mountain-opening broadsword from the weapon rack behind him, and shouted at the tent door: "The chief Long Jiu is here, if the generals don't capture him at this moment, when will they stay?" ”

Seeing this, Long Jiu and Li Yizheng hurriedly took out their weapons and put on a defensive posture. When the generals heard this, they showed their weapons one after another, and they were about to fight them.

Qi Yuanzhen was furious, slapped the table with a "snap", stood up and shouted: "Stop!" The general of the imperial court, pull out the sword in the tent, what kind of system! ”

Dong Yuan was so anxious that he stomped his feet and shouted, "My lord! We have been suppressing bandits for ten years, and this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity! ”

"Shut up!" Qi Yuanzhen took out his sword and walked down the handsome case, walked to Dong Yuanxiang and said, "General Dong, the enemy is at present, and there must be no casualties first. Wait for Lord Ben to personally listen to the military situation. If what Long Jiu said is true, Lord Ben personally asks His Majesty to correct the name of Qingyunzhai and serve the imperial court. If what Long Jiu said is not true, Lord Ben personally led the team to level Qingyun Village! ”

"Your Excellency!" Dong Yuan couldn't bear it, and said with trembling hands, "Ten years of suppressing bandits, there will be hundreds of dead and wounded soldiers." If you miss this opportunity to capture Long Jiu alive, you will definitely take more lives next time! ”

"Shut up! Pass my order and let Long Jiu and his party out of the camp! Qi Yuan shook the sword, it seems that he is indeed going to escort Long Jiu.

Seeing this, the generals retreated. Although Dong Yuan was reluctant, he also sighed and flashed open the tent door.

Long Jiu and the others put away their weapons, clasped their fists and arched their hands: "Lord Qi, you are really a righteous man and a gentleman. When the Song army was defeated and retreated, I, Long Jiu, personally led the horse and whipped for the adults! There will be a period later! ”

Qi Yuanzhen also saluted: "Master of Longzhai, the matter of leading the horse and holding the whip is still exempt!" If the owner of the village says that the military situation is false, this official will not spare it! After speaking, he turned around and walked towards the handsome case.

Long Yan walked to the door of the tent, glanced back at Han Xiaoyue, and found that he was also looking at him, with a depressed expression. Long Yan understood that Han Xiaoyue might be like herself, and wanted to say a few words at close range again. Helplessly, the trip came and went in a hurry, and there was no time to stay longer.

Then, she glanced at Dong Yuan again, and thought to herself: "Good villain, you bad thing, I will practice with you today!" Thinking of this, he quietly took out a flying knife hidden weapon from his sleeve.

Han Xiaoyue looked at Long Yan with her eyes, but suddenly saw the tip of the flying knife exposed in her cuffs, which was sharp and sharp.

"It's not good, he wants to plot against Dong Yuan!" Thinking of this, Han Xiaoyue didn't have time to think about any grievances before, so she instinctively pulled out the wooden token on the table. And at this moment, Long Yan raised her hand and threw the flying knife out.

With a "snap", the flying knife was inserted into the wooden token and hit Dong Yuan's body hard.

Long Yan's face changed, she glanced at Han Xiaoyue murderously, and thought, "This idiot, dare to harm my business!" ”

Seeing this, Long Jiu hurriedly pulled up Long Yan and Li Yizheng and jumped lightly.

"Lord Qi, General Han! The little girl was reckless for a while, and I Long Jiu will personally make amends for her sins another day! Long Jiu left this sentence, and the three of them disappeared without a trace.
