74 Taken captive

It's just that three days later, Sima Xuan failed to meet Cui Qun as he wished.

It's not that the team transporting military grain and grass didn't come that day, but Cui Qun didn't come.

It turned out that Cui Qun felt that he had transported military grain and grass so many times in the past, and nothing had happened. And he really doesn't pay much attention to these farmers who occupy the mountains around him. But they are just farmers who can farm, and where can they compare to a team of well-armed and well-trained soldiers? So he didn't follow him personally, but just sent a team of about 200 soldiers to escort him.

However, Sima Xuan had a thousand well-armed and well-trained soldiers in his hands, so this batch of military rations and grass was effortless at all.

So Sima Xuan swelled up a little, forgetting the cautious words that Sima Yuan had explained before leaving.

He approached Cheng Suyi and asked her if she had a way to contact her father's former subordinate in Fufeng County? Then I also mentioned my own thoughts a little.

The city wall of Fufeng County has four gates, south, east and west, and the four gates have different functions. Some are specially used for people to enter and exit, and some are specially used to transport various objects and the like. Naturally, the main gate for people to enter and exit on weekdays is guarded day and night, and the other three city gates will also be guarded day and night, but there will always be one gate that is more laxly guarded than the other gates. Sima Xuan meant that Cheng Suyi contacted the subordinate under her father, and then agreed to let him open the loosely guarded city gate one night, and then he took advantage of the cover of the night to bring this seconded 1,000 soldiers, quietly killed the city from that city gate, directly captured Cui Qun, and changed the owner of Fufeng County, wouldn't it be simple and direct?

Cheng Suyi actually agreed with Sima Xuan's proposal.

On that day, she saw with her own eyes that the 1,000 soldiers on Sima Xuan's side took down the team of soldiers responsible for escorting military food and grass with the force of the wind sweeping the leaves, and her heart was shocked. And when she used to read ancient books, she often saw such things as proposed by Sima Xuan.

Attacking the enemy city at night, and taking the enemy's city before the enemy can react, just thinking about such a thing will make your blood boil.

It's just that the example of winning more with less is a minority after all, so this has been praised and praised for thousands of years, and in most cases, the side with more people will better than the side with fewer people. But Sima Xuan and Cheng Suyi didn't think of this at all, or rather, they thought of it, and they blindly believed that they would definitely be in the minority.

So Cheng Suyi went down and tried her best to contact her father's subordinate. The next day, she came over to inform Sima Xuan, saying that the man said that tomorrow night, there will be no moon in the sky, which is just right for night marching. Then he will find a way to open the west gate and lure away the soldiers who are guarding there.

As soon as Sima Xuan heard the news, he immediately let go and began to prepare.

The next day, when it was dark, Sima Xuan gathered a thousand soldiers and secretly went to Fufeng County.

When he arrived at Fufeng County at the time of the third watch, Atai, who had gone to explore the way, soon came back to report that the west gate had been opened, and there was not a single guard there.

Sima Xuan was overjoyed when he heard this, and then with a wave of his hand, a thousand people took advantage of the cover of the night to move towards the west gate with very light movements.

When I arrived at the west gate, as Atai said, the gate was hidden, and two soldiers were sent forward to push it open, and there were no guards behind them.

Sima Xuan didn't suspect him at the moment, and made a gesture, signaling everyone to enter the city gate lightly.

After entering the city gate, they went straight to the Taishou Mansion.

It's just that when he was about to arrive at the Taishou Mansion, Sima Xuan suddenly stopped in his footsteps.

He had been thinking strange all along. If it is said that the West City Gate was opened by the person Cheng Suyi said, and the surrounding guards were also sent away by that person, but they were not discovered by anyone along the way, or even saw a single figure at all, wouldn't it be too strange?

In a flash of lightning, a thought suddenly turned sharply in his mind.

Then he secretly said no.

They are obviously being calculated, just waiting for them to automatically send them in, and then catch turtles in the urn.

Thinking of this, he hurriedly shouted and stopped, and then commanded sharply: "Everyone turned around on the spot and quickly retreated from the West City Gate according to the same path." Fast! ”

But it was too late. As soon as he finished speaking, he saw countless torches around him light up, shining as bright as day where they were.

One man stepped out from behind, and the soldiers on either side automatically moved out of the way of a wide road.

The man was in his thirties, dressed in a dark green brocade robe. The raw white and bearded, but a pair of eyes look like fox eyes, which is extremely uncomfortable.

This is the Taishou Cui Qun of Fufeng County.

Cui Qun stood still, narrowed his fox eyes, swept his gaze in the team of 1,000 people, and then looked at Sima Xuan.

"This little friend," he laughed nonchalantly, "why rush to leave when he is here?" ”

Cui Qun was born in a side branch of the Cui clan in Boling, and he was not valued by the family. It's just that he is quite scheming, and his methods are very ruthless, once he was inadvertently seen by the former patriarch, Cui Hao's father, Cui Hao's father didn't like Cui Qun at that time, and felt that this person was not very good, and he didn't want to cultivate him. But he couldn't stand Cui Hao, but he felt that Cui Qun was a talent, so he asked Cui Qun from his father to come over and make a companion with him. When Cui Hao's father died, Cui Hao became the patriarch, so he began to install him in the officialdom, and then he rose step by step, until he achieved the position of the Taishou of Fufeng County. And because Cui Hao trusted him very much, he came to a letter, instructing him to secretly recruit troops and horses here in Fufeng County, and practice and practice in the deep mountains and dense forests, so that if there is any change in the capital in the future, he can immediately rush to help him.

Naturally, Cui Hao may have promised him, if the big thing is achieved in the future, Cui Qun's official position will be one of the three princes.

When Cui Qun received this letter, he immediately began to act. He is always cautious and cautious in doing things, and he has never made a mistake in the past six months. I don't want to be robbed of the military food and grass sent out three days ago, how can he bear it? So he immediately sent his henchmen to inquire around, and at the same time paid attention to whether there were people in Fufeng County who should cooperate with each other. After some investigation, he really taught him to find the subordinate of Yuan Cheng Juncheng. And under all kinds of torture, that person didn't bear it after all, and confided in the night attack on the Taishou Mansion agreed today, so there is the current one.

Cui Qun was looking at Sima Xuan at this time.

Although he didn't know Sima Xuan's true identity, he saw that even though this young man was suddenly besieged by this, his face was still calm and calm under the firelight, and he was full of noble air, and he knew at a glance that he was not a fish in the pond. What's more, these people around him, although they are dressed in simple clothes and dressed as farmers, but they are all well-armed and well-trained in their hands, how can they be ordinary farmers?

Although Cui Qun did not move on his face, he was still a little surprised in his heart.

Why did such a couple come from around Fufeng County, and he didn't even know about it? And seeing that Sima Xuan is only seventeen or eighteen years old, he is obviously still a teenager, why did he instruct these thousand people to take away the military food and grass he sent? Or is there actually someone else behind him?

Sima Xuan was actually looking at Cui Qun at this time.

Don't look at his calm and calm face, in fact, he is still a little flustered in his heart. After all, no matter how you look at the current scene, he is a fish and meat, and the other party is a knife warrior, and he only has to be slaughtered and cut.

But as the commander of these thousand people, he couldn't show even the slightest timidity in front of these people.

So he was thinking, with the thousand people around him, could he kill out of the city?

He forced himself to calm down, and his heart was quickly thinking about countermeasures, and he peeked at the surrounding situation carefully, thinking that if the two sides started to make a move, where would it be better for them to break through.

It's just a pity that Cui Qun's people are surrounding them in the middle. The flickering torches shone on them, and it was impossible to escape even if they were wings.

Sima Xuan began to regret this meeting, he shouldn't have been so impulsive.

At this time, I heard Cui Qun asking: "Who is Xiaoyou?" ”

"The one who wants your life." Sima Xuan calmed down, sneered, and said loudly.

Although the situation in front of him is obviously that he is at a disadvantage, he is still unwilling to back down in terms of momentum.

Hearing Cui Qun's snort, he said with a smile: "Xiaoyou wants my life, but I'm afraid it's impossible." But if I want Xiaoyou's life, it's only in the palm of my hand. ”

As soon as he finished speaking, he waved his hand, and immediately a circle of archers came forward behind him, and the long arrows in each of them were already on the bowstring.

Now I'm really going to be caught in the urn. The key is a turtle full of long arrows, isn't it not a turtle, but a hedgehog?

Sima Xuan still had leisure thinking about these at this juncture, but when Atai saw this, he immediately took two steps forward and protected Sima Xuan behind him.

But Cui Qun did not immediately order the archers to release the arrows, but gently raised his hands and slapped them twice.

At this time, although there were thousands of people in the open space on this side, the two sides were tense, and the soldiers were holding their breath and holding their hands tightly.

And the sound of his clapping fell, and someone immediately stepped forward behind him.

The man thought that he was standing in the shadows at first, so Sima Xuan didn't notice it. But when this person came out of the shadows, Sima Xuan's eyes widened immediately.

It's Sima Yue.

But there was a knife across her white neck, a ball of cloth in her mouth, and one shoulder was pressed by the man behind him who held the knife.

"Yue'er." Sima Xuan's eyes were immediately cracked, and he wanted to rush forward, but he was desperately stopped by Atai.

How could Yue'er be in Cui Qun's hands? When he set off in the evening before, he clearly instructed her to stay in Qunyu Mountain and not run around. And what about the warbler? Hasn't the warbler been waiting by her side all the time?

Sima Xuan only felt that his mind was in a mess for a while, that is, he didn't even have the calm look on his face that he had pretended to be.

Heh, after all, he's just a teenager.

Cui Qun sneered in his heart, and then nodded at the person holding Sima Yue hostage with a knife.

The man understood, cut Sima Yue's hands and pushed her to Cui Qun's side.

Cui Qun stretched out his hand, grabbed Sima Yue's neck, and pulled him to his side.

"Tsk," he looked at Sima Yue and said with a smile, "It's a pretty little girl." He stretched out another hand and touched Sima Yue's face.

When Sima Xuan saw it, his eyes almost burst into flames.

"Take away your dirty hands." He looked at Cui Qun and said through gritted teeth.

Cui Qun ignored his words, still stretched out his hand to walk around on Sima Yue's face, and carefully pinned the few strands of hair that had fallen from her behind her ears. Then he turned his head to Sima Xuan and smiled: "Xiaoyou didn't expect it, right? As soon as you left the Jade Mountain with your front foot in the evening, I let the back foot lead the troops to the Jade Mountain. I heard that this little girl is your sister? Also, if she hadn't been her sister, she would have been a dead person by now, lying on the top of the Jade Mountain looking at the stars. ”

Sima Xuan couldn't stop trembling.

What the hell did he do? Why is he so confident? The eldest brother had clearly said before that he would not move and wait for his later arrangements, but he still couldn't hold back, thinking that he could solve all this.

But now, not only is he besieged here, but he also has fallen into the hands of that pervert.

He saw Cui Qun's hands roaming around on Sima Yue's face, but Sima Yue's hands were tied behind his back, and his mouth was stuffed with a cloth ball, unable to move, unable to speak, only a pair of eyes with tears in his eyelashes, full of fear.

Sima Xuan blamed himself for a while, regardless of Atai's pull, he clenched the long sword in his hand, took two steps forward, pointed the tip of the sword directly at Cui Qun, and said calmly: "Let go of her." ”

Cui Qun raised his eyebrows, and there was a very interested look on his face.

"Oh? For many years, no one dared to command me like this, and no one dared to point a sword at me like that. Young man, you are very bold. “

After that, the hand holding Sima Yue's neck was retracted heavily.

Even though his mouth was choked with cloth, Sima Xuan could still hear Sima Yue's muffled snort.

"You!" Sima Xuan's hand holding the sword shook and said angrily, "What do you want?" ”

Cui Qun nodded with satisfaction: "This is what a young man should look like." I felt awkward for you when you looked at your forced calm look before. ”

I have to say that Sima Xuan was ruthlessly beaten against Cui Qun, both in terms of momentum and mentality.

Sima Xuan also noticed this, and didn't want to talk nonsense with him, so he just asked, "What do you want?" Say. ”

After the initial panic, he would have calmed down, so he knew that Cui Qun must have something to do, otherwise, according to the current situation, he could directly order the arrow to be released, and then kill Yue'er, and there would be no need to fight with him for a long time in psychological warfare.

Then in a flash of lightning, he knew why.

Yes. Three days ago, he robbed Cui Qun's batch of military grain and grass.

The amount of military food and grass for two months for tens of thousands of people can be known. Presumably, in order to prepare this batch of military grain and grass, Cui Qun spent a lot of energy.

And it was precisely because of the large amount of grain and grass in this batch of military supplies that Sima Xuan did not transport it back to Qunyu Mountain, but found a nearby place to hide it. Thinking that after Cui Qun asked people to bring Qunyu Mountain, he searched all the places in Qunyu Mountain but failed to find this batch of military grain and grass, so this is the current one.

After thinking about this, Sima Xuan felt some confidence in his heart.

He shook his hand, and the sword in his hand buzzed.

"Let Yue'er go, and I'll give you back your grain and grass." He looked at Cui Qun and said his conditions in a cold voice.

Cui Qun chuckled lightly and exclaimed: "The young man is not stupid, he knows the price with me so quickly." But what if I don't say yes? ”

"Then I'll have people burn your military rations. Choi Taishou doesn't really think that all my people are here, right? ”

"Everyone in the Jade Mountain is already a corpse now, what's the matter, are you still a corpse?" Cui Qun was very unimpressed by this.

Sima Xuan's heart trembled tightly. The people of Qunyu Mountain were all killed by Cui Qun?

Atai's eyes were red at this time. Doesn't that mean that the warbler has also been killed?

Atai's hand shaking as he held his sword trembled. If it weren't for the fact that he would have to protect Sima Xuan and break out later, he really wanted to rush over and kill Cui Qun regardless of it.

Sima Xuan is still too young.

Cui Qun didn't let go of any change in Sima Xuan's facial expression, so he immediately felt a pang in his heart.

Stretching out his hand and pulling out the cloth ball in Sima Yue's mouth, he smiled at Sima Xuan idly: "Come, you two brothers and sisters will exchange a few words." ”

His original intention was that Sima Yue was just a little girl after all, and she would definitely be afraid of being held to her neck with a knife like this and pinched her neck with her hands, so as soon as she tore the cloth in her mouth, she would immediately call for help to Sima Xuan. And Sima Xuan's performance just now has clearly made him know that Sima Xuan cares about his sister very much, so after listening to his sister's call for help, he will definitely obediently tell him where the military needs are hiding the grain and grass.

But I didn't want him to just tear off the cloth in Sima Yue's mouth, and what he heard was not a cry for help, but: "Second brother, you go quickly." ”

Cui Qun was stunned.

Sima Xuan on the opposite side was also a little stunned.

"Yue'er, you ......"

It's just that before he finished speaking, he saw that Sima Yue didn't look at her anymore, but instead faced Atai and said directly: "Atai, I order you to take my second brother away quickly." If he doesn't leave, you knock him out and carry him away. ”

Cui Qun raised an eyebrow. This little girl is very interesting.

Atai looked at her with red eyes, nodded at the end, knelt down on one knee, and bowed to her.

"Artey obeys."

Ignoring Sima Xuan's struggle, he firmly grasped his arm with one hand, turned his head to the thousand soldiers and shouted: "Let's rush out." ”

Ah Tai has been trained since he was a child, and his shots are all killer moves, and he soon cleared a small area around him.

The guard next to him asked Cui Qun: "Taishou, do you want to release arrows?" ”

Cui Qun raised his eyes and glanced at him, and said with a smile: "He's dead, you can find out the batch of military grain and grass for me?" ”

The guard immediately felt a bucket of ice water poured down from the top of his head, and his whole body was cold. Then he immediately bowed and retreated.

He forgot that Cui Qun had always disliked other people's suggestions for beaking.

"Captured alive." Cui Qun watched the fight scene in the venue and gave an order in a deep voice.

"Yes." The guard bowed in agreement, and with a wave of his hand, all the archers put away their longbows and joined the battle.

Sima Yue has always been looking at the battle situation in front of him very nervously.

Although Sima Xuan had those 1,000 soldiers around him, how could the number of people on Cui Qun's side be doubled? Soon, the soldiers around Sima Xuan fell down one after another, and in the end, there was not much left.

But fortunately, there is an Atai who desperately protects him. But even so, Sima Yue still saw that Sima Xuan was shot in the right arm, and the long sword in his hand immediately fell to the ground.

"Second brother."

Originally, she didn't want to distract Sima Xuan, but now she saw that Sima Xuan and Ah Tai were besieged by so many people, and Sima Xuan's arm was injured again, so she couldn't help it for a while, but finally screamed.

Sima Xuan immediately looked back at her.

The bright torch was as bright as day, and it could be seen that there were tears in her eyes, but she always endured it and did not fall, just pursed her lips tightly and looked at him.

"Yue'er." He turned, trying to walk towards her.

But Sima Yue scolded him loudly again: "What are you doing here?" Wait here with me to die? Fuck off. Where did it come from, get out of here. ”

Sima Xuan was stunned.

Sima Yue said in a low voice at this time: "After I went back, I saw him and told him that I miss him very much." ”

Although he didn't say this explicitly, Sima Xuan knew that it was Wang Jun.

But that's not the point. The point is that her words are clearly a posture of explaining her last words.

Sima Xuan's eyes immediately felt sour, and he took two steps forward and said, "Yue'er, we came out together, and if we want to go back, of course we have to go back together." Second brother won't leave you alone. ”

Cui Qun said next to him at this time: "It's really a brother and sister relationship." ”

With another wave of his hand, more soldiers behind him joined the siege of Sima Xuan.

"Atai," Sima Yue shouted at this time, "Take my second brother away." Fast. ”

Atai turned his head and looked at her deeply, then reached out and grabbed Sima Xuan's arm, let out a loud shout, and snatched the spear from the hand of a soldier next to him.

The long spear was danced in his hand and was impenetrable, and the water could not be splashed, and he desperately killed a bloody way out for a while. Fortunately, there were a few soldiers who had not fallen behind them desperately cut off the road, and Atai was able to stumble away with Sima Xuan.

There were soldiers behind him who kept chasing after him. Sima Yue didn't know if Sima Xuan could successfully escape.

She tiptoed and looked in the direction where Sima Xuan and Atai had gone, always hoping to see them escape with her own eyes.

There was a sudden pain in her neck, Cui Qun pinched her neck hard, stretched out another hand to pull her chin, looked at her, and then smiled: "I can't see that you little girl is quite tough." Why don't you ask your second brother for help? ”

Sima Yue was actually terribly scared at this time, and his face was pale, but he also made a calm and serious appearance on his face, and asked: "Even if my second brother really told you the location where the military food and grass were hidden, would you be so kind and really let me and my second brother go?" I'm afraid that my second brother and I will die sooner. ”

Cui Qun sighed in admiration and said, "The little girl is quite smart, I like it." I will definitely not let your second brother go, but if you say that the location of the Tibetan military food and grass will come out, I will really let you go. Or do you think about it? ”

Sima Yue's answer to this was to turn his head and ignore him.

He thinks she's a fool, right? Sima Xuan made him lose such a big face, and after knowing the location of the Tibetan army's grain and grass, Cui Qun would definitely not let go of Sima Xuan and her easily. But if he didn't know, he was afraid that only Sima Xuan and she knew the location of this Tibetan military ration and grass, so he naturally wouldn't kill them easily.

After all, there are so many military supplies and grass, she doesn't believe that Cui Qun doesn't care, she is not in a hurry, otherwise she would not have ordered Sima Xuan to be captured alive just now.

And Cui Qun really thought so in his heart.

At present, the military budget is already tight, and he has been raising tens of thousands of troops for two months to raise military food and grass for a long time, and now he has been taken away by a stinky boy for no reason, how can he not care?

The hand holding Sima Yue's chin tightened again. Sima Yue was in pain, but she was still stubborn and pursed her lips tightly without screaming.

Cui Qun narrowed his fox eyes, and then suddenly let go and pushed Sima Yue to the guard next to him.

"The little girl is very stubborn. Anyway, I, Cui Qun, am also a person who pities the fragrance and cherishes the jade, so I won't punish you for the time being, the flesh and blood are blurry, and the ugly tight. Throw it into the water prison for two days. ”

The guard agreed, pushed Sima Yue and turned around.

At this time, Cui Qun strode in the direction of Sima Xuan and Atai, and the guards behind him followed closely.
