Chapter 26: The Defeat of Suo Jiaping (II)

As soon as the Xixia spy with the pseudonym "Pang Chengqing" came out of the barracks, he rode his horse and galloped wildly, running all the way for more than ten miles, and then he reined in the reins, turned his head to look back at the Song army barracks, and smiled coldly.

Pang Chengqing was originally a spy of Western Xia, and he had been friends with Liu Guiren for many years as a border merchant, and he bought the spoils of the Song army from him, giving Liu Guiren countless benefits, and finally gaining his trust. Liu Guiren was timid and greedy, and when he heard his news, he would inevitably lead the army to escape, and the Yan Yan army of the cultivator would collapse without a fight, and the siege of Lingzhou would be solved. The so-called raising soldiers for a thousand days and using soldiers for a while, Liu Guiren will definitely be beheaded to show the public if he escapes from the battle, but I am afraid that he will not think that the money he has collected over the years is his own life money! Thinking of the defeat of the Song army in the coming day, the Great Xia Guozuo survived, and "Pang Chengqing" was even more comfortable, and he didn't care about the wind and snow, he only laughed loudly.

Halfway through the laughter, a clear male voice suddenly came from the originally empty mountain road. "What are you so happy about, say it and everyone is happy together!"

Pang Chengqing choked when he heard this, and his laughter stopped abruptly. However, his eyes swept around, and he saw that the sky was full of wind and snow, but there was no half of a figure. He knew that he had exposed Xingzang, so he raised his voice and asked, "Who is it?" ”

No one responded.

Pang Chengqing's martial arts skills as a secret agent are not high, but he is deaf and clear-sighted. Tonight, the wind and snow are cold, and the person who speaks appears on this uninhabited mountain road, must have the heart to wait for him. Martial arts are bound to be above him. Thinking of this, Pang Chengqing's heart couldn't help but feel a little anxious, his body tensed unconsciously, and even the horses with straddles snorted a few times.

After a while, the wind and snow gradually decreased, and through the reflection of the snow on the ground, Pang Chengqing vaguely saw two people coming slowly in front of him. When Pang Chengqing saw the two of them, they were about a foot away from each other, but in the blink of an eye, the two were already standing in front of Pang Chengqing's horse.

The first one was a young man who had not yet served Yuanfu, and I saw him unhurriedly clasping his fists to Pang Chengqing, and said with a kind face: "Jun Yanjun Murong Fu has seen Mr. Pang, and my family is waiting for Mr. Pang in the army!" ”

Pang Chengqing's eyebrows twitched, and he quickly pulled out a dagger from his boot and flew towards Murong Fu.

Murong Fu didn't make a move, but took two steps back in a relaxed manner. Such a small role, he has his own Gongye Qian to cook for him.

Sure enough, it was just three moves and two styles, and the spy was slapped by Gongye Qian, and he spat blood and fell to the ground, and he couldn't get up for a long time. Gong Yeqian casually picked up the collar of the secret agent, pressed him down in front of Murong Fu, and handed over the order: "Son! ”

"There is the second brother of Lao Gongye!" Murong Fu nodded slightly to Gongye Qian, and was about to step forward when he suddenly saw the spy take out a porcelain bottle from his arms and slam it on the ground. A puff of white mist burst out of the smashed bottle and dissipated into the cold air in an instant.

"Not good! Second brother, hold your breath! Back off! Murong Fu suddenly changed color, and kicked out a volley with his right foot. Hearing the screams of the secret agent, the whole person was swept out by the fierce leg wind at the same time, along with the broken porcelain, and immediately fainted when he fell out of the way.

However, Murong Fu's voice was a moment too late after all. Although Gongye Qian, who was originally standing beside the secret agent, had not been affected by Murong Fu's legs, he suddenly burst into tears, and fell to the ground with a soft "Ahh

Seeing this, Murong Fu couldn't help frowning slightly, and waved his sleeves twice lightly. But seeing that the wind was blowing, the snowflakes flying on his side were rolled up together with the snow under his feet, like two monstrous waves crashing on the mountain wall beside him.

Gongye Qian, who fell to the ground softly, did not lose his senses, but when he saw this situation, he changed color slightly. It turned out that Gongye Qianyou was good at boxing, boasting that he was the second in Jiangnan, and he only convinced Murong Bo in his life. In terms of the subtlety of the palm technique, Gongye Qian's self-confidence is far better than that of Murong Fu, but he has never had such a deep internal force as Murong Fu at this age. Thinking that Murong Fu's silent martial arts had been so sophisticated, Gongye Qian's heart was faintly frightened.

Murong Fu had no intention of taking care of Gongye Qian's feelings at the moment, and when he was sure that there was no more poisonous smoke in the air, he stepped forward a few steps,

The spy was half-dead after being severely injured, he was originally tall, but now he was carried by Murong Fu in his hands, but he was like a baby and had no ability to resist. Hearing that Murong Fu revealed his origin, he was even more frightened, only to see that his face turned pale and spurted blood.

Murong Fu turned sideways to avoid it with a look of disgust, and said indifferently: "Hand over the antidote and give you a good time." ”

Hearing this, the spy only shook his head with difficulty, and before he could speak, he only heard a crisp sound of "Kala", and the thumb of his right hand had been broken by Murong Fu casually.

The secret agent screamed again, but Murong Fu remained silent and said slowly: "Ten fingers connected to the heart, how many fingers do you think you can survive?" With that, he simply snapped off the spying's index finger.

As the familiar sound of broken bones sounded, Gong Yeqian couldn't help but tremble slightly. He knew that Murong Fu was taking the antidote for himself, and he could see Murong Fu's cold look, but he only shuddered, as if the gentle and smiling son he had seen in the past was all an illusion.

The spy had not survived the torture after all, and when he reached the fourth finger, he cried and explained the antidote. Murong Fu searched out a porcelain vase from under the saddle according to his instructions, and saw that the porcelain vase was engraved with the eight characters of "sad and crisp breeze, smell it and solve it", so he smiled with satisfaction and sent it to Gongye Qian's nose.

After only a moment's effort, Gong Yeqian felt that his hands and feet had regained consciousness, and he stood up. He was frightened by Murong Fu just now, and he didn't dare to talk back, so he only lowered his eyebrows and asked, "Son, how to deal with this person?" "That secret agent's martial arts skills are low, and he can't support it anymore at this time.

Murong Fu replied without hesitation: "Take it back and give it to the planter." ”

"Yes." Gongye replied and stepped forward to drag the spy up.

But Murong Fu was a little uncomfortable when he saw Gongye Qian being so obedient, and couldn't help but explain: "Second brother Gongye, our gambling contract is still valid." It's just that if I make a hindrance from it, I will defeat the army, and I will inevitably win. ”

Gongye Qian was silent for a while, and finally asked, "How did Gongzi know that he was from Xixia Yipintang?" "I think he is old in the rivers and lakes, and he has only vaguely heard the name of Xixia Yipintang, and this sad breeze is even more unheard of. Gongzi is young and has never walked on the rivers and lakes, how can he know more than him?

Murong Fu really couldn't answer this question truthfully, so he only said vaguely perfunctory: "I listened to what Qiao Feng said." ”

"I see." Gongye replied dryly, but in his heart, he said How much bigger is Qiao Feng than you? It's just that at the moment, he really didn't dare to compare with Murong Fu, so he walked silently with him towards the barracks.

In the barracks, the situation is not good. After Murong Fu left, Qiao Feng stared at Liu Guiren alone, and before he could try to inform Chong Ge, Liu Guiren, who was frightened by the false news brought by the Western Xia secret agents, hurriedly summoned the soldiers of his cronies around him and asked them to escort him to escape. How could Qiao Feng allow him to run away and shake the army's heart? However, after all, Liu Guiren was a large number of people, although Qiao Feng did not let him escape, the abnormal movement in Liu Guiren's account attracted the attention of the soldiers.

When Murong Fu came back with the secret agent, Qiao Feng had already tied Liu Guiren into the military tent of the plant, but the outside of the military tent was also crowded with panicked soldiers. Murong Fu has a high prestige in the army for saving the dead and helping the wounded, and when he appeared, all the soldiers made way for him to pass through guò. Just as he was about to step into the military tent, a soldier finally whispered: "Murong Gongzi, is our grain and grass really not enough?" ”

Someone was the first to ask a question, and everyone was bold, so they echoed it. Some complained: "There is only gruel tonight!" ”; Some were frightened: "Liu Dianzhi is in charge of grain and grass!" ”; Some are worried: "If the Xia army takes the opportunity to sneak attack ......"

Seeing the surging emotions of the crowd, Murong Fu hurriedly stretched out his hand and pressed it in mid-air, signaling everyone to be quiet. "I don't know anything about grain and grass in the next place. It's just that now the snow is like goose feathers, and the road is difficult to travel, and the team transporting grain and grass is a day and a half late, so there must be some. "Murong Fu's voice is not high, but it is accurately delivered to everyone's ears because of the internal strength it contains." Our Yan army has won successive battles all the way, relying on the unity of the soldiers. Now that I am in danger, I must not mess with myself. The kind of experience is a little foresighted, if there is really something wrong, it will be planned early, everyone can rest assured. ”

The soldiers are all battle-hardened, how can they not know that what Murong Fu said is right, but it is inevitable that they will be restless when things come to an end. Hearing what Murong Fu said, everyone was silent for a while, and suddenly someone asked loudly: "Liu Dianzhi escaped without permission, is it because our grain supply was cut off for the Xia army?" ”

Murong Fu immediately made a look of surprise when he heard this, and only said, "Where do you start with this?" How can such untrue rumors be credulous? As he spoke, he beckoned to Gongye Qian, motioning for him to bring the spy out to show the public. Liu Dianzhi escaped privately because he fornicated with the Western Xia border merchants to sell war spoils, and he was afraid that the scriptures would punish him. Below, he was ordered by Jinglu to arrest this Xixia border merchant, and now he has obtained the stolen goods, so that Liu Guiren has nothing to say! ”

After Murong Fu finished speaking, Gongye Qian cooperated and pulled the secret agent's hair hard, revealing his very eye-catching alien face. Seeing this, all the soldiers let out an "oh" at the same time, and the atmosphere suddenly loosened a lot.

Murong Fu also smiled slightly when he saw that this tense situation was relieved, he knew that his people were soft-spoken and did not persuade them to retreat, but just took the spy into the military tent.

Inside the military tent, Liu Guiren was crying bitterly and begging for the plant. "After a strategy, our army's food and grass are only enough to support two days, and the villain is in a hurry, so he intends to order troops to pick up the grain convoy...... The villain is confused, but the villain does not have the intention to escape, and the villain is wronged! ”

Liu Guiren's words are undoubtedly black and white, he has been very familiar with the generals in the army for a long time, and there are always a few people who speak well for him, but it makes Qiao Feng, a rootless and bottomless Jianghu guest, very embarrassed. Although Qiao Feng said that he acted prudently, after all, it was the first time he had experienced this officialdom, how could he have seen such a skill of reversing black and white when he said crying, and he was immediately stunned on the spot for a long time and couldn't speak.

Qiao Feng didn't speak, but it didn't mean that Liu Guiren's cronies couldn't speak, I saw them all stalk their necks and say angrily: "Jingluo, this Qiao Feng is so rude!" Dianzhi discussed with us and others to order troops to take over the grain convoy, and he suddenly broke in and beat him with his fist! After a while, he is a small lieutenant who has no respect for his superiors, and we are wronged! ”

He looked at Liu Guiren and then at Qiao Feng, and said in a deep voice, "Deputy Lieutenant Qiao, do you have anything to say?" ”

Qiao Feng smiled comfortingly at the Seed Master Dao who was standing beside him, and stepped forward to ask, "Dare to ask Liu Dianzhi, did you have anything to do with you before tonight?" ”

Qiao Feng's voice fell, and Liu Guiren was immediately dumbfounded. This Qiao Feng was originally rolling in the rivers and lakes and had nothing to do with officialdom, and he came to Yan Yanjun only to serve the country generously. On weekdays, Qiao Feng charged into battle in the front army, and Liu Guiren did some food and grass in the rear army. Qiao Feng and Liu Guiren are innocent and innocent, how could they frame him for no reason? Liu Guiren was suffocated, and suddenly said hatefully: "You said that I colluded with the Xia people, escaped from the battle, and shook the morale of the army, what is the evidence?" ”

"Here's the proof!" As soon as his words fell, Murong Fu had already left the unconscious spy at his feet. Seeing this border merchant who was supposed to fly away appeared here, Liu Guiren's face suddenly turned like ashes. Murong Fu looked at Qiao Feng and smiled, stepped forward and handed a nameplate found from the secret agent to Chong Ge. "Jinglu, this person is a person from the Yipintang of Western Xia."

"What?" Liu Guiren's soul was scattered when he landed, and he shouted loudly like crazy. "After a while, the villain doesn't know! The villain doesn't know! But at this time, no one paid attention to him, and after a while, a kind of pro-soldier stepped forward and gagged him and his cronies together, and dragged him down for the time being to be disposed of.

Liu Guiren's collaborator with the enemy had already heard Qiao Feng's report, and it was not very surprising to see Murong Fu come up with evidence at this time. I saw his finger lightly wipe on the iron nameplate, and said in a condensed voice: "Xia Ren's claws are stretched long enough!" ”

Murong Fu didn't answer, but said: "Jinglu, what matters now is not this product hall, but grain and grass. ”

He sighed and said, "You still want me to retire?" "If it weren't for Qiao Feng and Murong Fu capturing Liu Guiren today, I am afraid that the entire Yan Yan army would have fled with Liu Guiren, a fool who is greedy for life and afraid of death.

Murong Fu nodded and said: "I know that I am tired of hearing it, but now that the snow is heavy for days, our army's grain and grass cannot be supported, and if it continues like this, we will collapse ourselves first if we don't wait for the Xia people to attack." ”

This time, Chong Mo didn't get angry and drove Murong Fu out. In fact, before Qiao Feng brought Liu Guiren here, Chong Ge had already discussed with the generals in the military tent how to deal with this dilemma, and there were not a few people who supported the temporary withdrawal of troops and waiting for help. It's just that the two armies fought against each other and then fell into decline and exhausted, and at this time, the troops retreated, and the Yan Yan army lost half of the battle of the summer along the way. "Those who travel a hundred miles, half ninety." He sighed weakly. On the fifth road of the summer, Li Xian stuck to Lanzhou and stopped, Wang Zhongzheng could only fight a tailwind battle behind him, Gao Zunyu's relatives were not familiar with military affairs, and he understood that retreating at this time was a lack of skills, and he couldn't help but be full of sorrow.

Murong Fu was afraid that he would still be unwilling to retreat, and when Gao Zunyu Lingzhou was defeated and the back road of Yan Yanjun was cut off, the casualties would be even heavier, so he cautiously persuaded: "Jingluo, Lingzhou is the middle of Western Xia, and we will join forces with Gao Zunyu to capture Lingzhou, and this battle may not have turned around." ”

As soon as Murong Fu said this, he immediately glanced up at him, and said for a long time: "How can such a talent be biased and weak and not see blood?" ”

Murong Fu didn't know the deep meaning of his words, but he was still dissatisfied with his unwillingness to fight. He didn't want to collide with Chong Ge because of this, so he simply skipped the topic and asked, "Chong Jingluo, this secret agent doesn't know how to deal with it?" ”

"Kill it!" He frowned.

Murong Fu knew that he would say this, and Song Shi had never paid much attention to intelligence warfare, so that leaking secrets in the political affairs hall had become the norm. It's just that this secret agent is implicated in the Xixia Yipintang is implicated in the original scene, and Murong Fu is naturally very interested in finding out one or two. "It's better to leave it to you, maybe you can find out something."

The life and death of a Western Xia spy was naturally not in his heart, he waved his hand and walked out. When he got out of the military tent, he saw that all the soldiers were looking at him anxiously, and he only held his hands and shouted: "What are you doing here?" If you don't get out, be careful of the military rule of law! There is a kind of saying, and everyone suddenly dispersed, and a turmoil disappeared immediately.

The next evening, the wind and snow stopped. The heavy snow has covered the world with a thick layer of silver makeup, almost making it difficult to distinguish between north and south. Under the pretext that the road is difficult, he decided to lead the troops back to Xiazhou, and Xu Tu planned later.
