Chapter 403: Starry Night Siege
From learning that his subordinates were killed, to the beating of drums and the soldiers under his command preparing to attack, Gu Qing's expression was very calm from beginning to end, he was extremely calm at this moment, and there was no emotion on his face at all.
No matter how big the hatred is, no matter how deep the resentment, the grudge is close at hand, and it is even more necessary to be calm at this time.
Gu Qing knows very well that hatred can make people impulsive and make people lose their minds, and the decisions people make when they lose their minds are often wrong, and this mistake may lead to a change or even failure in the plan of revenge.
Therefore, the more you are in the face of big things, the more you must be calm as iron, which is the basic quality that successful people must have.
Gu Qing had such a quality in his previous life. Because in his previous life, he was also a success.
Six thousand soldiers and horses moved rapidly in the rapid rumbling drums, and in the dark night, by the faint light of the torches, only the shadows of people could be faintly seen, and the war horses neighed.
Chen Shufeng's department only had 1,000 people, and he camped in place when it was almost dark, but he didn't expect Shen Tian's department to move so fast, and he actually chased after them silently, and quickly surrounded them while the night was dark.
Chen Shufeng was not afraid of Shen Tian, he knew that Shen Tian did not dare to do anything to himself, in fact, Shen Tian did not dare, he just ordered the soldiers to surround Chen Shufeng, and then he did not dare to move.
It wasn't until Gu Qing came with another 3,000 soldiers and horses, and without saying a word, cut down the generals who passed the message on the spot, that Chen Shufeng felt a little apprehensive at this time.
The legendary Gu Hou Ye is as fierce as fire, and he will kill people if he doesn't agree with him, it seems that the rumors are true.
Then Gu Qing ordered the surrounding, with the rumbling drum beating, Chen Shufeng noticed the movement of the surrounding soldiers and horses, and surrounded them three layers inside and three layers outside, and the specific traces of the transfer could not be seen clearly in the night, but Chen Shufeng heard the sound of the blade unsheathed, and he could understand the sound of the war drums in the army, and he could understand the rapid rhythm as soon as he heard it, it was the rhythm of the drums preparing to attack, once the drums stopped, it was the moment when thousands of troops and horses charged.
At this time, Chen Shufeng finally panicked, he underestimated Gu Qing's bad temper, he didn't expect that this Hou Ye's temper was worse than rumored, and he didn't even plan to communicate with him at all, and he was ready to attack without saying a word.
Listening to the drumming more and more urgently, Chen Shufeng's cheeks twitched violently, and he hissed and ordered: "Send out another person to meet Gu Qing, just say that I have confidential matters to discuss with him, and I am willing to release the remaining two generals of the Anxi Army immediately." β
A fast horse galloped out of Chen Shufeng's department again, waving a flag while galloping, and said loudly: "Gu Houye, slow down!" Wait! Captain Chen has confidential matters to discuss with Hou Ye......"
A cold voice came from the dark dunes: "Shoot!" β
There was a whooshing sound, and the knight on the horse was even worse than the one just now, and he was shot into a hedgehog without even seeing Gu Qing's face, and he fell on his back before he had time to hum.
Chen Shufeng saw it from afar, and couldn't help but tremble, and cold sweat trickled down his forehead.
Today...... Afraid that it will be a catastrophe, Gu Qing is really completely unruly, and even the basic communication is categorically refused, and at this moment, he has killed two of his subordinates in a row, and it seems that he is not afraid of making things bigger, and he doesn't care about his identity as the law enforcement captain who is equivalent to the emperor's order.
He...... What do you rely on? Where did he get the confidence to attack the law enforcement team sent by the Son of Heaven to spy on him?
Chen Shufeng's mind suddenly appeared at this moment, Liu Luogu's friendly and warm face.
From the first day he came to Anxi, Liu Luogu, a confidant, had firmly remembered the entrustment of his confidant, and Pei Zhounan and his mission to Anxi made him feel fearless.
It is not enough for Anxi to have Bian Lingcheng as a supervising army, the Son of Heaven sent Pei Zhounan as a supervising army, and even a thousand law enforcement teams, what does this mean? It shows that the Son of Heaven does not trust Gu Qing, otherwise how could he send people to spy on him one after another? Since he didn't trust it, it meant that the Son of Heaven intended to transfer Gu Qing from this position in Anxi Jiedu.
Doesn't this fact coincide with the evidence that Liu Luogu requested to get Gu Qing?
The Son of Heaven does not trust Gu Qing, An Lushan and Gu Qing have a grudge, in public and private, it is imperative for Chen Shufeng to push Gu Qing down from the position of the envoy, take down irrelevant people, so as to bite out more important people, this is the usual routine of overthrowing political enemies in officialdom, and Chen Shufeng also did this.
But judging from Gu Qing's reaction at this moment, Chen Shufeng found that he seemed to be wrong.
Chen Shufeng couldn't say what was wrong, he only felt that on the lonely sand dune outside the encirclement, the person who stood on horseback and stared at him quietly was like an unshakable mountain, and what he did did did not pose any threat to him at all.
When the only identity he relied on suddenly found out that it was invalid, Chen Shufeng was a little panicked.
This should not be what he envisioned, and the situation should not have come to this point.
Thinking of this, Chen Shufeng no longer looked arrogant, and shouted loudly: "Gu Houye, the last general was ordered by the emperor to investigate the lawlessness of the Anxi Army, Gu Houye must not mislead his future, please think twice." β
There was finally a response from the opposite dune, but the response was cold and unforgiving.
"Command to release the arrows, kill some of them before attacking."
When the words fell, only the sound of a bowstring trembling was heard, and the rain of arrows poured down towards Chen Shufeng's department, and countless screams and howls were suddenly heard in the darkness, and nearly 100 people around Chen Shufeng fell to the ground.
Chen Shufeng drew his sword and fired a few arrows aimed at him, and shouted in shock and anger: "Gu Houye, I was sent by the Son of Heaven, you dare to kill me, aren't you afraid that the Son of Heaven will condemn you?" β
There was silence on the opposite sand dune for a while, and suddenly a man and a rider galloped down from the sand dune, and ran outside the encirclement, and said loudly: "Spread the words of the Hou Ye, and immediately hand over the Anxi military headquarters that you have captured, and the Hou Ye will only investigate the first evil, and will not punish the accomplices." Otherwise, you will kill them all, and not one will be left! β
Chen Shufeng was still stunned, and all the soldiers surrounding them shouted in unison: "Hand over the robe, hand over the robe!" β
There was a commotion in Chen Shufeng's troops, and Gu Qing's strong reaction was seen in the eyes of everyone, making them finally understand Gu Qing a little more.
This Hou Ye is so murderous, it is simply a terrible star from the sky, but he has killed and injured two or three Anxi military generals, is it necessary to protect the calf to this point?
Lu Shengquan, who was tortured by Chen Shufeng, was lying on the sand, one leg drooping softly, as if it had been broken, and when he heard the tsunami-like shouts of landslides and tsunamis outside the encirclement, Lu Shengquan grinned widely, and laughed out loud with all his might, and the laughter was a little crazy.
"Chen Shufeng, Gu Hou Ye will not give up any of the Anxi military robes, you are already dying! Ha ha! Blood debt and blood repayment, heaven and earth! β
The drumming continued, getting faster and faster, and with the rapid rhythm of the drums, the encirclement imperceptibly shrank smaller and smaller.
Chen Shufeng stood in the defensive formation formed by the cavalry, his expression unpredictable, sometimes struggling, sometimes resentful.
He gritted his teeth stubbornly, his bloodshot eyes stared at the man and one rider on the sand dunes in the distance, the situation was as critical as a black cloud pressing down on the city, but Chen Shufeng still did not let go.
This is a game between the commanders of the two armies, a contest of the will of the two sides, Chen Shufeng is gambling, he bets that Gu Qing will not dare to really order an attack, and he will definitely not dare to ruin his future.
Suddenly, the drums stopped, the low horn sounded, and the whimpering sound echoed in the dark desert, and the murderous aura became more and more solemn, like a tangible knife, silently scraping around Chen Shufeng's neck.
Outside the encirclement, the generals of the Anxi Army rode away and shouted orders.
"Prepare to attackβ"
"The cavalry formationβ"
"Bow and arrow forward!"
The orders were like the urging of the king of Hades, ruthlessly destroying the military hearts of Chen Shufeng's soldiers.
Just a moment before Gu Qing immediately ordered an attack, Chen Shufeng's will finally collapsed.
He knew he had lost his bet.
From the murderous aura around him, which was obviously getting more and more aggressive, he could feel that Gu Qing really dared to kill him, and even dared to kill his thousand cavalry team to nothing.
This is a madman!
"Wait! Wait! I am willing to hand over the Anxi military generals! Chen Shufeng's eyes were red and he shouted.
The officers and men of the Anxi Army, who had already made an offensive posture, immediately put away their swords and returned their halberds, and just now it was an encirclement full of murderous sounds, but at this moment it was as silent as a grave.
Lu Shengquan and another Anxi military commander were escorted to the edge of the encirclement, and the Anxi soldiers quickly helped them out of the encirclement and set up torches to heal their wounds. As for another general who had died, he was also sent out by Chen Shufeng's order, and the soldiers of the Anxi Army carried the body quietly towards the sand dunes.
The generals were handed over, but the encirclement was not removed.
After losing the game just now, Chen Shufeng sat on the sand with a depressed face, and the spirit of the whole person seemed to have collapsed in an instant.
In the darkness of the night, there was a cold sound from the lonely sand dune.
"Chen Shufeng came out with his hands tied, and the rest threw away all their weapons, otherwise they would still be regarded as enemies."
Chen Shufeng's soldiers looked at each other, their faces were like ashes, Chen Shufeng was like a soulless sculpture, sitting on the sand mountain and staring blankly into the distance, not knowing what he was thinking.
Does Liu Luogu, who is far away in Chang'an, know what happened to him at this moment? What kind of ghost made a mistake for him, and bet his life on the gambling table for the sake of a request from his so-called confidant, is it worth it?
Chen Shufeng was in a state of mind at the moment, and his expression was miserable.
There was silence for a long time, and the cold voice from the opposite sand dune came again.
"Chen Shufeng, what are you waiting for? Kill my soldiers, do you think you can get out of the way? β
The surrounding Anxi soldiers shouted: "Tie your hands, and the rest surrender!" β
After a long time, Chen Shufeng looked up to the sky and sighed, and said dejectedly: "I...... I would like to bind my hands. β
β¦β¦β¦β¦
When Gu Qing returned to the Qiuzi camp, it was already dawn.
As more than 6,000 soldiers and horses appeared in the north of the camp, the Qiuzi camp was already boiling, and the soldiers ran out to watch regardless of military discipline and excitedly told each other.
Gu Qing brought back two pieces of news, one was that the Anxi military general who was locked up for no reason was killed and injured twice, both of which were caused by Chen Shufeng's torture.
Second, Gu Houye led the army out of the camp in the starry night and captured Chen Shufeng and his 1,000 cavalry team alive.
The whole camp was boiling and uproaring.
Gu Qing led the soldiers and horses of the Anxi Army and Chen Shusheng, who was sitting on the horse with his hands tied and his head down, had just stepped into the gate of the camp when he suddenly heard a roar like the sky was falling apart.
"Kill Chen Shufeng! Kill Chen Shufeng! β
In the distance outside the camp, Pei Zhounan was disheveled, and he was terrified and crawled towards him.
"Master Hou, Chen Shufeng can't be killed!"
