Chapter 269: Seeing Through
As soon as the group passed Zhangbei Dam, Yan Jinxuan raised his hand and signaled everyone to stop.
Long Qingyun was puzzled.
"This area is difficult and inaccessible, and it is the first choice for the enemy, so we can't continue on this road." Yan Jinxuan explained.
"You mean - we could be assassinated on this trip?" Long Qingyun asked with a look of horror.
The assassination of them in Jinxiong that year instantly came to mind.
"Hmm. But we have to create the illusion that we are on this path. Yan Jinxuan's tone was calm and authentic.
"How do you make that?" Long Qingyun asked hurriedly. They are all people with a task, so they can't delay too long on the road.
"I'll take care of it." Yan Jinxuan said. immediately beckoned the shopkeeper to present pen, ink, paper, and inkstone.
Soon, Yan Jinxuan wrote the letter and handed it to one of his subordinates.
"Send it to General Changda quickly."
"Yes." The subordinate hurriedly said.
"When you come back, don't go the way you are, go this way." Yan Jinxuan pointed to another road on the map and said to him.
"Yes." The subordinate immediately rode his horse first.
"Let's wait a few hours, General Chang's reinforcements will arrive in about the third watch." Yan Jinxuan said to everyone.
So they rested in the inn.
"My lord, who will assassinate us this time?" Long Qingyun walked up to Yan Jinxuan's side and asked softly.
He was a little puzzled.
He didn't know much about the last time.
However, he could conclude that those people were coming for Yan Jinxuan.
Yan Jinxuan told him the reason.
"It turned out to be him." As soon as he heard Yan Shichong's name, Long Qingyun's face could hardly hide his hatred.
"I hurt your men last time, and this time I won't put any of them in danger." Yan Jinxuan said solemnly.
"That's not what you think. Don't blame yourself. Long Qingyun said busily.
Yan Jinxuan smiled, and there was a light in his eyes flickering slightly.
At the third watch, a thousand soldiers sent by General Chang Da quietly arrived at the rendezvous place designated by Yan Jinxuan.
Since Yan Jinxuan asked them all to wear civilian clothes and come in batches in a letter to General Changda, their arrival did not attract anyone's attention.
Yan Jinxuan rendezvoused with them in a bamboo forest on the outskirts.
"Five hundred people will follow me on the road of Liuxi Mountain, and the other five hundred will take the road of the Hexi Corridor." Yan Jinxuan arranged.
Almost all of the cliffs on this side of Liuxi Mountain are cliffs, and ordinary people can't walk at all, so all the people who follow Yan Jinxuan on this road have to be able to work lightly. The Hexi Corridor was the road they were originally going to take, and it was also the road that Yan Shichong laid an ambush, and Yan Jinxuan let another five hundred people pass through there.
Naturally, the 500 people who walked the Hexi Corridor would inevitably have to compete head-on with Yan Shichong's 100 people. However, because they are all people selected by General Changda. Therefore, there will certainly be no problem in dealing with those 100 people.
After the assignment was completed, the two teams set off in the night.
Yan Jinxuan immediately put on a fake beard and wig. Dressed as an old man with gray hair.
In this way, the possibility of being targeted by the enemy can be avoided to the greatest extent.
He had promised Su Shanyun that he would cherish his life no matter what, so he would not easily risk his life.
The people sent by Yan Shichong were surprised when they found the five hundred people walking towards this side on the fifth watch.
It was naturally very difficult to identify which one was Yan Jinxuan from the five hundred people, even if they had already known his appearance by looking at Yan Jinxuan's portrait.
The sky was still very dark on the fifth watch. If you don't look closely, you can't tell who's who. So they decided to carry out a surprise attack.
However, there are only 100 people on his side. There are 500 people, and they are a little lacking in confidence.
But in the end, they decided to let it go.
So a hundred men rushed down from the hillside with weapons and shouts.
These five hundred people had already received orders from General Chang and Yan Jinxuan, so they were not shocked at all when they saw this group of people rushing down. Immediately take up arms and meet them.
The hand-to-hand battle was fought, and the two sides immediately entered a state of desperate duel.
Soon, General Chang's men gained the upper hand, and they immediately took advantage of the victory to pursue, defeating the hundred men sent by Yan Shichong, and in the end no one could stand up.
General Chang's men immediately rushed back to report to General Chang.
"Back to the general, a total of thirty-five people in our army were wounded, of which twenty were seriously wounded, and the remaining fifteen were slightly wounded." The leader of the group reported.
It is worthy of the people brought out by General Chang Sheng, and none of them lost their lives. General Chang nodded with satisfaction.
"Stand back and rest." General Chang said.
But he didn't dare to relax, because the five hundred people Yan Jinxuan had brought with him had not yet returned.
Since the team led by Yan Jinxuan took an extremely difficult road, General Chang estimated that they would not arrive until dawn, so he leaned back in his chair and took a nap.
A quarter of an hour later, someone hurriedly reported: "General, they have arrived at the intersection of Dayu Road. ”
General Chang suddenly perked up and immediately got up and went out.
There was a large forest on the right side of the Dayu intersection, and General Chang had a small red flag hung on the row of trees at the intersection, while he and his twenty men waited in the forest.
As the sound of horses' hooves approached, General Chang rode his horse out of the intersection.
Yan Jinxuan, who was riding towards him, handed him the letter in his hand with lightning speed, and then led his team to gallop away.
"Thankfully, we managed to get away with it." Long Qingyun patted the horse to Yan Jinxuan's side and said.
"Uh-huh." Yan Jinxuan smiled at him.
After General Chang returned to the mansion, he immediately opened the letter handed over by Yan Jinxuan.
This is a handwritten letter written to him by Du Chenghuan, the secretary of the Ministry of War.
"You must secretly prepare 50,000 soldiers first, and I will need them at any time before March 10. As soon as there is a need for you to transfer troops from my side, you will immediately notify Lord Yan Jinxuan, and he will arrange the details of the battle. ”
General Chang immediately threw the letter into the furnace.
"Go and call General Deng and General Liu over." General Chang said to his subordinates.
Together with these two generals, he had to prepare 50,000 soldiers according to Du Chenghuan's orders.
…………………
"What? All of them were ......" Yan Shichong's eyes widened when he heard the news.
So this matter was known to Yan Jinxuan?
If he knew, the three princes would definitely know about it.
So Liu Yigan and talk about singing......
Yan Shichong sat on the Taishi chair dejectedly.
"Quickly kill Liu Yigan and Tan Sing." Yan Shichong said to Zhang Jing.
"Yes."
That night, Zhang Jing quietly set off with thirty of his subordinates to Liu Yigan's house.
But when he arrived at Liu Yigan's house, he found that it was already empty.
He was so shocked that he hurried to the singer and found that it was the same thing.
Not far away, dozens of men and horses were galloping towards here.
Oops, calculated! Zhang Jing immediately turned around and ran.
When he fled to the exit of the alley, he saw Liu Yigan and Tan Sing leading more than 30 people to block there.
He hurriedly jumped towards the wall on the east side, and fled as fast as he could along the path.
However, a glittering sword was flying towards his back, and he fell to the ground before he could recover his senses. (To be continued......)
