Hancheng is the closest town to Hanmen Pass, Tao Beyan took a large number of weapons and rushed to Hanmen Pass day and night, but it was because of the king's order that Princess Zhaoran arrived in Hancheng one step ahead. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
The strangeness of Chen Sheng's death in Hancheng's guard shook the hearts of the people very much, and because of the attack of the long-lasting people, he won seven times and won seven times, and finally scared the courage of the people of Hancheng.
Those in the city who can go to their relatives, those who have the money and ability to run away have all run away, only some old people and children whose children have joined the army, or some people whose families are poor and have no money to run, or those who have committed crimes and have been assigned here and cannot go anywhere, but there are only a dozen or so families.
Tao Don't forget that it was in the middle of the night to arrive in the cold city, the sudden death of the guards, the court received the news and then sent people to guard it will take time, so the entire cold city is paralyzed, even the soldiers guarding the city gate are lazy, the city gate in the middle of the night is wide open, the city gate of the black hole is like a beast lurking at night, and the next moment can be sober and devour.
"Yan Zhenqing, spread the scout and explore again."
Tao Beyan stopped at the city gate, sitting firmly on horseback but looking at the black gate with a gloomy face.
Yan Zhenqing rode over and sent a scout team before asking: "Former general, the scouts only returned in the morning, although the people in Hancheng are gone, there is no abnormality, how can you probe again?" ”
Looking at Yan Zhenqing's immature little face, Tao Buyan was in a trance for a while, and it was really difficult to associate him with the terrifying General Yan in his previous life.
"The gates are not closed......
Tao Buyan said in a low voice, thought for a moment and said: "Command the baggage team to camp on the spot, and the forward battalion to camp around, and not enter the city tonight." ”
Yan Zhenqing was stunned for a moment, and then gave the order, but he looked at Tao Buyan in confusion, the city gate was not closed? What do you mean? The guards are dead, and it's normal for the soldiers to be lazy! Besides, the cold gate is still far away, and the long-lasting people can't beat it for a while, and the people who should go in the cold city have also gone seven, seven, eight, eight, or eight, and maybe there are also soldiers who have escaped.
"The Tai Guard is dead, and there is still the master, and the judge, and Cao System, Cao Si, are they all dead? Or did they all run away? In the border city, the curfew is the strictest, and the city gates must be closed after dinner. ”
Tao Beyan pointed to the city gate with his right hand and said: "Although the opening of the gate is in line with a city abandoned by the people, but you see, there are tea stains on the sentry post, and the tea leaves have not dried and obviously been boiled and drunk today, and finally splashed on the snow, the snow has stopped in the evening today, and the snow that was splashed is dented, and it must have been hot water at that time, and it was after the snow stopped, indicating that there were still people guarding it during the day. ”
Yan Zhenqing was stunned for a moment, and then a cold air rose above his head, he didn't even find such a clear loophole? People have a kind of inertia and think, with intuitive thinking and inertia, they will feel that people will be negligent in the management of the empty city, and they should not close the city gate, if there is no insight of the former general, the army may rush into the city at this moment, why did the guards leave their posts in a hurry and did not close the door? Or maybe they simply don't have time to close?
Thinking about the joint, Yan Zhenqing couldn't help but admire Tao Beyan even more, and asked with a fist: "Former general, then next?" ”
"Wait! Regardless of whether we are tired or not, if we are not fooled, the person who laid out the layout before dawn will definitely not be able to wait, as long as he makes a move, we can deal with it, if it is really the soldiers and guards who are lazy, we can also wait for the scout to return, this time we escorted the baggage to the cold gate, the road was smooth, but there are so many people who want to kill me Tao Buyan, Yan Zhenqing, do you think that the people of the Military Construction Bureau are really willing to let me transport this batch of weapons to the border pass? ”
The last voice fell, Yan Zhenqing suddenly chilled, the smooth journey had already made him lose his vigilance a little, coupled with the approaching cold gate, ordinary people would relax their vigilance like him, so what would be waiting for them when they rushed into the city?
"Yan Zhenqing, don't let comfort smooth out your blood, the pro-guard team has been in ambush here for half a month, it's time to move, Zhenqing, remember, what is your own surname, when you chose me, I should let you get what you want, and you don't need to be comfortable like this."
Yan Zhenqing's breathing suddenly became heavy, his hands clenched into fists, and he whispered hoarsely: "Yes." ”
Then the boy flexibly disappeared into the camp and was never seen again.
Tao Beyan knew that this time, Yan Zhenqing, the future fierce general, was truly subdued to himself.
Sighing lightly, Tao Beyan frowned, he didn't brow, but a worry hit his heart, and the scout didn't return for a long time, could it be that he was really said by himself?
In the silent night sky, there was the wailing of the nighthawk, and the people at the border gate raised more eagles, and the eagle cries is not strange, but Tao Buyan is tight, and his right hand is secretly drawn behind him, and then the camp suddenly became lively, and several kitchen soldiers set up the cauldron, and made out half of the frozen pork, and began to cook the meat.
A figure finally ran out of the cold city, stumbled towards the camp, and fell headlong in front of Tao Buyan's feet.
"Report, the former general, the last general and Xiao Liuzi went to explore the post but were caught by a few robbers, the last general escaped under the desperate cover of Xiao Liuzi, please lead the army to arrest quickly, there are about a dozen robbers."
The visitor's face was covered in blood, blurring his face, and the scout's clothing was also torn, and blood was oozing from a dozen openings.
"Oh? Good work, what's your name? ”
"The last general scout team leader, Wang Qiang."
Wang Qiang lowered his head and said in a panic, the blood dripped into his mouth as he spoke, but he didn't pay attention to it at all, but trembled with fear.
"It's Wang Qiang and Xiao Liuzi, it's a pity."
Tao Beyan looked at Wang Qiang, and finally sighed softly, and when Wang Qiang was stunned, he suddenly pulled out the long knife he carried and slashed it down.
"Former general, why are you!"
At the last moment, Wang Qiang pulled out his portable Pu knife to block the attack, and took advantage of the situation to jump out of Tao Buyan's attack circle.
"Why don't you understand? What a cowardly thief, next time you want to disguise myself as a black-feathered cavalry, just be bold, really make a few cuts in yourself, and drench other people's blood Aren't you afraid that he will come to you at night? ”
After Tao Buyan finished speaking, he no longer gave him a chance to speak, the long knife bullied up, and the sound of weapons colliding was annihilated in the lively hustle and bustle of the camp, but more than a dozen big men quietly surrounded him, and finally after Wang Qiang was knocked to the ground by Tao Buyan, he rushed up, covered Wang Qiang's mouth, and unloaded his limbs and carried him away.
