Chapter 612: Rigidity
As soon as the words came out, Liu Changben had already guessed Ling Xian's plan, but when he really heard this answer at this time, he still couldn't help but feel his eyes dark, he only felt that his blood was boiling and surging, and his throat was sweet, he couldn't bear it anymore, coughed twice, sat down on the ground, and couldn't come back to his senses after panting for a long time.

"Your Excellency, Your Majesty......"
His appearance startled the soldier, but Liu Changben grabbed his chest and sighed:
"Providence so, providence so!"
Now if you want to save your life, you have to flee to the northwest and flee into the wilderness, so that it is difficult for the Tang army to chase.
But Ling Xian was ambitious, and when he reached such a situation, he refused to admit defeat easily, and even went to Hangu Pass.
What kind of character Liu Chang is, he can't guess what Ling Xian is planning to do, he is afraid that he is still thinking about leading the troops to attack Luoyang, and it is better to learn from Guo Han and the others who took advantage of their unpreparedness that day to recover Xijing.
No man is content.
The old Zhongxin county king worked hard and carried the infamy to get Xijing, but now all of them are all ruined.
Liu Chang was in pain, and when he remembered that the Ling bloodline was still alive, the soldier who had originally reported to him suddenly whispered:
"My lord, I'm sorry."
As soon as the words fell, before Liu Changben could react, the soldier slipped a dagger out of his cuff and stabbed him in the abdomen with force.
Liu Changben first felt a chill in his abdomen, and then the severe pain conveyed to his limbs.
He kept shaking, reaching out and instinctively touching his belly.
At this moment, he remembered the words of his old friends who had advised him yesterday.
Ling Xian had already been dissatisfied with his rebellious words several times, and some people had come to persuade him in private, but Liu Changben knew that his loyal words were contrary to his ears, and the good medicine was bitter, and there were many villains around Ling Xian, who were obedient Ling Xian had heard a lot, but someone needed to speak out directly.
In fact, he had already vaguely guessed that Ling Xian had the intention of killing him, but he didn't expect this day to come so early.
When Liu Changben thought of this, his face became more and more pale, and he covered his stomach, and the soldier didn't even dare to raise his head.
Not far away, someone exclaimed, as if something unusual had happened.
The soldier hesitated, seeing that he was old, he had been stimulated earlier and was already unstable on his feet, and at this time he was stabbed again, even if he was not out of breath, when the Qin army came, he might not be able to let him go, so the man only paused for a moment, then let go of his hand, let the dagger remain in Liu Changben's abdomen, and he turned around and ran.
Yu Zhaocheng led 20,000 horses to arrive at Dingzhou City overnight, and at this time, Ling Xian's men and horses in the city had already evacuated, and there were not many people left, and there were only about 100 people loyal to the king of Zhongxin County, and the rest were the old, weak, sick and disabled who were temporarily recruited from the city.
Liu Changben, who was ordered by Ling Xian to defend the city, was plotted again, and the dragons in the city were leaderless, and Yu Zhaocheng easily broke the city gate.
At this time, Ling Xian led the people out of the city overnight, running all the way, until the sky was about to darken, and he was close to Hangu Pass, and he was already tired.
The afterglow of the setting sun could not shine into this deep valley road, Ling Xian wiped his face at this time, and his eyelids jumped.
Earlier, he received the news that Dingzhou City was captured by the Tang army, at this time Yu Zhaocheng and others had rushed to Dingzhou, as his advisers said, after these people took Dingzhou, they would definitely divide their troops into two routes, all the way to meet Qi Shao in Youzhou, solve the danger of Youzhou, attack the Khitan leader Qu Thorn, and it is possible to send troops to chase him along the way.
He could not delay any longer, and at this time he was asked for news, and it had been half an hour, and there was no enemy attack in front of him.
While worrying that someone from behind would catch up, Ling Xian was anxious to get the carriage and horses into the valley.
Some of his advisers discouraged:
"Your Majesty, there are eighteen miles from here to Guguan, so it's better for you to wait for a while and wait until it's safe to enter the valley."
Some people are worried that the Tang army is chasing after them, and the men and horses of Ling Xian who are marching all the way are all worried, and the spies in front have been gone for more than half an hour, but there is still no news, so they think it is okay.
It was very quiet here, only the sound of the gravel rolling into the valley could be faintly heard, if he was ambushed, even if he was defeated, he could always hear a shout, but now it was silent, and it was okay to think that it was okay.
It's just that Ling Xian has been frightened into a frightened bird at this time, although he thinks that the person who is eager to enter the valley is right, but he still waits patiently for another half pillar of incense, although he didn't see the spies come back, but he couldn't bear it, and immediately ordered the army to set off.
Before the Hangu Pass, there was no danger, and the generals were relieved to boldly enter the valley first, Ling Xian walked in the middle, and only halfway to the top, only the sound of 'click' was heard above his head.
The people at the bottom of the valley looked up and looked, and there seemed to be a stone rolling down their heads.
This scene frightened all the generals under Ling Xian's command and turned around to run, but the valley was narrow and could only allow one car to pass by, and the army was already panicking.
After a series of screams, many people died under the rolling stones, and others died in the stampede of each other's lives.
Ling Xian finally fled to the outside of the valley under the protection of his henchmen, but he heard someone shouting in front of him:
"You're volt!"
The sound of 'whooshing' arrows breaking through the air was heard, and from time to time someone let out a terrible cry before death.
Everyone was frightened like headless flies, and wanted to flee back, but the back road had been cut off at this time.
The 35,000 elites who went out of Xijing with Ling Xian that day were slaughtered like turtles caught in an urn at this time.
In the mournful screams of the soldiers, Ling Xian was protected on his horse, his face pale.
From time to time, the soldiers under the former Zhongxin County Palace's palace fell, and at this moment, Ling Xian didn't know that he was afraid that he was afraid that he had fallen into the Tang army's plan.
Today, I am afraid that he will die in this Hangu Pass.
Every time a former guard of the Faithful County Palace fell, his cheeks twitched, and the faces of the loyal guards around him were full of hesitation.
The original ambition was wiped out in the wails of pain.
Ling Xian's face turned pale and trembled.
He had worked hard for a long time, but now he has been ruined.
Ren Lingxian was a treacherous man, but at this time, when the soldiers under his command were slaughtered, he couldn't think of a proper way in his mind.
His hands and feet were cold, and his internal organs seemed to be grabbed and pulled hard.
only let his subordinates push and flee in all directions.
At such a critical moment, for some reason, he remembered what Liu Changben said yesterday, asking him to flee to the northwest above Dingzhou.
At that time, Liu Changben was sure that he had to flee in the direction of the Sanggan River, leave the land in the Guannei, and flee to the wilderness, so that it would not be easy for the Tang army to chase.
It's just that at that time, he hated Liu Changben for speaking ugly, opposing himself everywhere, and refusing to praise his great achievements wholeheartedly, so how could he listen to him more? (To be continued.) )
