Yuan Guang and Nan Cheng were one foot high and one foot low, and when they ran out of two or three miles, they heard a shout from the Lu Shuihu camp behind them.

The two looked back and saw that the light of the torches in the camp was lit up one after another, and the night burned red, and they knew that the body of Koji Zhu had been found.

Nan Cheng still hasn't come back to his senses, and muttered in fright: "Brother, what can I do about this?" Yuanguang said viciously: "If you don't want to be killed by your father, run faster!" "Stuffy head to the south. The male adult had to follow.

ran out of more than ten miles, and there were still more than two miles away from Qin Ying.

Bumped into a group of patrolling Qin soldiers head-on.

The soldiers of the Qin army were stunned for a moment, and then without saying a word, they swarmed around and pressed them down.

The officer of the Qin army who led the team was a team leader, and found the short knife in Yuanguang's boots, Xu was because he saw Nancheng's strong size, thinking that he was taking the lead, but he gave up Yuanguang, so he put the blade across Nancheng's neck and said a few words.

What he said was Rong language, and Yuan Guang didn't seem to understand it, for fear of being killed by him and dying here, he hurriedly shouted: "Don't do it!" Don't do it! My name is Qu Yuanguang, and the clan is a noble race of the Huns! My father, Ba Ruo, is the chief of my and the Qu Department, and the righteous brother of the general Xin Er of the Dingxi Expedition! This is my brother and son, me and him, and I are here to surrender! There is a big secret dedicated to the two great generals Jianwei and Guangwu! ”

At present, the Tang and Yi people are mixed, and most of the Tang and Yi people know some foreign languages, those who have language talents, and those who have the conditions to learn, such as koji ball, and even proficient in the five languages of Tang, Rong, Xianbei, Xiongnu, and Sogdian. The leader of this Qin army also knew Tang dialect, so he said in a stiff tone: "Are you here to surrender?" What kind of sincerity do you vote for? ”

Yuan Guang struggled to get up his upper body, knelt on the ground, raised his hands straight above his head, showed a flattering smile, and said, "Yes, yes, I'm here to surrender." My father is now in the Dingxi thief camp in the north, and I know all the soldiers and horses in Dingxi! May Du Yu and Jianwei and Guangwu be two great generals! Brother, I see that you are extraordinary in appearance and have strange bones, you send me to the two generals of Jianwei and Guangwu, and I promise that the two generals will give you a heavy reward! ”

As he spoke, he raised his hands and jerked his chin, motioning for the team to come and touch his chest.

The team couldn't understand what it meant, but couldn't bear Yuanguang's eyes throwing around, frowned, and reached out to touch it, and found a few pieces of gold cakes. The golden light shook his eyes.

Yuan Guang said: "This little meaning is just a gift I offer to the general to meet you." As long as you send me into the camp and see the two generals Jianwei and Guangwu, you will definitely get more rewards than this! ”

The team leader was moved, talked with his subordinates in Rong for a while, and told them to continue patrolling, while he took three or four soldiers and escorted Yuanguang and Nancheng back to the camp. The guards of Yuanmen listened to his report, but refused to give him this credit, forcibly took away Yuan Guang and Nan Cheng from his soldiers, and took them to see Yao Tao and Lu Ming. The team dared to be angry and didn't dare to speak, watching the guards drive Yuanguang and Nancheng away, scolded in their stomachs, went back, and then patrolled,—— but fortunately he got a few gold cakes, which was a bit of a gain.

The name of the guard general of Yuanmen is Gou Dan, who is the younger brother of the Gou family, the queen of Puqin, Gou Xiong is his brother, the clan is a relative, and the weight is in the court, even if he heard that Yuanguang came to surrender to Cheng, he did not put him in his eyes, kicked and kicked, and his attitude was quite bad.

Yuan Guang crawled forward with a roll, and turned his head while taking the time to show a flattering smile to Gou Dan. The male adult had gradually eased up at this time, and he couldn't bear to see Yuanguang's appearance, so he simply quickened his pace, crossed Yuanguang, and walked to the front.

After passing through the main road in the camp, he traveled for two quarters of an hour and arrived outside Lu Ming's tent.

Yao Tao's General Jianwei and Lu Ming's General Guangwu are both four grades, but General Jianwei's ranking is higher than that of General Guangwu, that is, Yao Tao's official is higher than Lu Ming, but Yao Tao is a general, and although Meng Lang's golden knife plan did not achieve the result he wanted, it also caused Yao Jin's defection to Wei, because Pu Qin generals like Gou Dan were closer to Lu Ming, so Gou Shan brought Yuanguang here.

Lu Ming had already slept, and after hearing the news, he got up in his clothes, summoned Yuanguang and Nan Cheng to see him, and sent someone to invite Ji He.

The last time Zhao Yanli rebelled, Lu Ming, Ji and the two cooperated tacitly, and the plan was calculated, so that Zhao Yanli could not rebel, but died, Meng Lang greatly appreciated the cooperation of the two of them, and this time he attacked Longxi County, so they were matched into a pair, and Ren Jihe was the master of Lu Ming.

Yuan Guang and Nan Cheng entered the tent.

Yuanguang didn't wait for Gou Dan's order, his knees weakened, he bowed to the ground, and said in his mouth: "The villain and Qu Yuanguang, the family is a noble race of the Huns, and the villain's father is the chief of Lu Shuihu and the Qu Department, and he is a ......."

Lu Ming interrupted him and said, "Okay, okay, you don't have to say it." These things have already been told to me by General Shicaigou. You said you were here to surrender, right? ”

Yuan Guang replied: "Yes! ”

"Since your father is the righteous brother of Xin Youzhu, your family should be rich and noble in Longzhou, why did you vote for me Daqin?"

Yuan Guang brewed his emotions, supported the ground with his hands, raised his head, and said loudly: "The puppet king of Dingxi is a child, and he doesn't understand!" The military and political power in Dingxi was all controlled by Xin Agua. Xin Agua is cruel and unkind, not to mention the harm to our clan, Zhang Jin, Song Hong, Song Fang, Linghu Jing, Linghu Qu, Pan Kuan, etc., are either the wise men of Longdi, or the clansmen of the Linghu clan, or they were suppressed by him, or killed by him! In today's Longzhou, the morale is scattered, and the people's grievances are boiling.

"The villain hears that 'the one who is helped by heaven is smooth, and the one who is helped by man believes', Xin Agua can be described as unsatisfactory and unbelievable, and the villain feels like a hell every day in Dingxi, and he really can't bear his tyranny, and I heard that the king of Great Qin is benevolent and virtuous, and he walks on the royal road, and the people are attached, and the villain hears that 'the virtuous are prosperous, and the virtuous suffer, and the way of heaven is also', is determined to abandon the darkness and turn to the light, and surrender to the great Qin!"

He had thought of these words a long time ago, and now he said them in an angry tone, which was a bit of a sonorous and righteous word.

Lu Ming saw that he looked like a monkey, his stature was short, his appearance was not good, it could be called ugly, he didn't mean to use words, but it was considerable, put away three points of carelessness, and asked him: "You said that you have a big secret to dedicate to me, what is the secret?" ”

Yuan Guang hesitated and said, "It's a matter of confidentiality, please ask the general to retreat." ”

Lu Ming said with a smile: "General Gou is the foreign family of the queen of my dynasty, his status is noble, and he is the king's confidant, what secrets are there, General Gou can't listen to them?" Say what you have. ”

A person came in from outside the tent, although he was wearing a robe and a pleated hakama, a sash belt, wearing short leather boots, and a Hu person's outfit, but he was tied in a bun and wrapped in a curtain, holding a feather fan, wearing a hanging jade pendant, and wearing the dress of a Tang person.

Lu Ming got up, saluted him, and said, "Fang Ping, Qing came just in time. These two are the Dingxi generals who came to surrender. Pointing to Yuanguang, "This person claims to be the righteous brother of Xin Youshu and the son of the chief of the Qubu to pull out Ruoneng, and says that there is a big secret to offer." ”

Ji He looked at Xia Yuanguang and Nancheng, asked Yuanguang, and said, "Is your name Qu Yuanguang?" ”

Lu Ming didn't introduce Yuanguang's name to Ji He, but Ji He could call out his name.

Yuan Guang was stunned for a moment, then rejoiced, and said, "Does the general also know the villain's name?" ”

Lu Ming was also puzzled and asked, "Fang Ping, how do you know his name?" ”

Ji He and Lu Ming sat down separately, and he said to Lu Ming: "When Linghu Feng was alive, he issued an order to collect Hu Tunmu. And the chieftain of the Qu Department was able to raise an army to resist at that time, but it was not long before Xin Youzhu was defeated, and Lu Shuihu's Hequ and other troops were forced to migrate into Jiankang County. Ba Ruo Neng has three sons, the eldest son Pingluo, the second son Yuanguang, and the youngest son Nancheng. Pingluo is half-brother with Yuanguang and Nancheng. Yuanguang, Nan Chengmu and Lugen were originally Ba Ruoneng's brother and sister-in-law, and after his brother died, Ba Ruoneng accepted him as his wife; Pingluo's mother Che is the original match of Ba Ruoneng. Pingluo is dignified and full of scriptures; Yuan Guang is ugly and has a wise name; Male adult young.

"When I look at this person, he can never be called dignified, but I expect him to be Yuanguang."

Yuan Guang's eyes widened, and he said in his heart: "Who is this person?" How do you know my family so well,...... No, he is not only very clear about the situation of my family, but also about the situation of other chieftains and big families in Longxi. That's amazing! Said admiringly, "The general is in Daqin, but he knows Dingxi so well, and the villain admires it very much!" ”

Ji He smiled and said in his heart: "It's not that I understand, it's Meng Gong who understands." Don't say that you are Dingxi, that is, the ministers of Wei, He Hunxie, the Eastern Tang Dynasty, the right surname, and the mansion of Meng Gong, there are also details of each person and family. said, "I'm not a general, don't mess around." What secrets do you have, and you are not happy to be with General Guangwu? ”

Yuan Guang responded: "Yes." "Dare to ask the two、...... Dare to ask the general and Jun, do you know that around noon today, Cao Fei and my father Ba Ruo can lead their troops to come, and they have already joined the Tianju Department? ”

Lu Mingxin said: "It turns out that the two Long soldiers who came during the day were brought by Cao Fei and Ba Ruoneng," and said, "How can our army not know?" ”

"Then dare to ask the general and the gentleman, do you know how many soldiers and horses Cao Fei and my father led the troops?"

Lu Ming and Ji He only received a military report, saying that there were two large Dingxi troops from the north and joined forces with Tian Ju, but they really don't know who led these two troops and horses, and the specific number of soldiers and horses.

Ji He asked, "How many soldiers and horses?" ”

Yuan Guang perked up and said: "Cao Fei's department has more than 11,000 foot riders, and my father Ba Ruo Neng's department has more than 4,000 light riders, a total of more than 15,000 foot riders!" ”

Ji He asked: "Cao Fei and the troops led by your father, which battalion of soldiers and horses in Dingxi are they?" ”

"What my father led was the cavalry of Lu Shuihu and the cavalry of Pig Nozawa under the command of Lan Bao; Cao Fei led half of the Taima camp, his own cavalry, and Xin Agua and Koji Shuang's parts assigned to him. ”

The reputation of Longzhou Taima was far and wide, and Lu Ming and Ji He looked at each other.

Ji He smiled: "Do you want to report to me that these are the things I am waiting for?" What's the big secret? ”

Yuan Guang was confident and said: "That villain dares to ask the general and Jun again, do you know that Cao Fei, Tian Ju and my father will attack my Qin array tomorrow?" ”

Lu Ming said, "Tomorrow?" That's not a big deal. The soldiers will block, and the water will cover the earth. ”

"Then dare to ask the general and the gentleman, do you know when Cao Fei and the others plan to attack tomorrow and how they plan to attack tomorrow?"

Ji He asked, "When and how to attack the formation?" ”

"Cao Fei and the others plan to leave the camp tomorrow morning and attack my Great Qin Array at the end of the day! When it attacked, if my father Ba could lead Lu Shuihu to ride and first shoot the infantry who harassed my Great Qin, and when he found the weakness of my infantry formation, Cao Fei would personally command the infantry and launch a fierce attack on it. ”

Ji He shook the feather fan and said with a smile: "I am in the middle of the battle, with an external fence and thistles, taking advantage of the time of the confrontation with Tianju in the past two days, and now a deep ditch has been dug behind the fence, and the array is behind the ditch, there are many bows and crossbows in the array, and there are enough arrows. When the battle in the middle of the battle was in full swing, General Guangwu waited for an opportunity to send our army's armored cavalry to assault from the west flank and cover the flank of Cao Fei's department. ”

Yuan Guang said: "Cao Fei and Tian Ju have already expected that the general will send cavalry from the west flank to help my Great Qin's mid-formation defend against the enemy. If the general sends cavalry to battle, Tian Mingbao and other generals will lead peony cavalry and light cavalry, and collect with Lu Shuihu cavalry from my father's department to meet the cavalry sent by the general. ”

Ji He smiled slightly and said: "Even if the western flank is fought, the high ground on the southern slope of Baishi Mountain is in the hands of our army, and there are nearly 1,000 crossbowmen and armor soldiers of our army stationed on the high ground. ”

Yuan Guang said: "I'm afraid that when the time comes, my Great Qin warriors on the southern slope of the high ground will take care of themselves!" Not to mention helping the midfield. ”

"Oh?"

"Lan Baozhang will lead his troops to disrupt and attack my Great Qin soldiers on the high ground on the southern slope when Cao Fei waves his troops to attack my Great Qin formation!"

Ji He laughed and said, "So far, Cao Fei's men don't have many available soldiers and horses, right?" ”

Yuan Guang replied: "There are still 3,000 infantry and cavalry used as reserves, and Tian Ju is in charge of it, and he is behind the formation of the Long soldiers. ”

Ji He said with a smile: "Our army also has 1,000 cavalry, and they are also behind our army's formation, and they have not yet engaged in battle. ”

Yuan Guang asked: "Dare to ask the general and Jun, according to this battle arrangement of Cao Fei and others, can you be sure of victory in tomorrow's battle?" ”

Half a day ago, it was still Yao Tao and Lu Ming's troops, more than Tian Ju's, half a day passed, because of the arrival of Cao Fei and Ba Ruo Neng's troops, Dingxi's troops had far exceeded Yao Tao and Lu Ming's troops, but Lu Ming and Ji He were carefree.

Lu Ming touched his beard and said, "I don't have the certainty of defeating Cao Fei and the others, but I have the certainty of being able to hold it." ”

Yuan Guang said: "Yes, the general and the general Jianwei generals, with fences, ravines, bows and crossbows, etc., although they can't defeat the Long soldiers, but if they only defend and don't attack, in a short period of time, they do seem to be able to defend themselves, but ,......"

"But what?"

"Just tonight, right now, there is a Long soldier who is speeding through the night in the valley of Baishi Mountain."

Ji He was surprised and asked, "What?" ”

Yuanguang said: "The valley in the Baishi Mountain is vertical and horizontal, and several valleys run through the mountain. Although the road in the valley is difficult, it is not as difficult as the road in Shuzhong! Gao Yan Cao, the thief under Cao Fei's account, was ordered by Cao Fei to lead thousands of elite soldiers who had invaded Shu from Xin Agua, and before nightfall today, he had sneaked into a valley in the north of the mountain, calculating the distance, and by tomorrow at the latest, he could pass through Baishi Mountain and go around behind the formation of my Great Qin army!

"The appropriate generals and others were engrossed in the fierce battle with Cao Fei and others, and suddenly there were dead soldiers from behind. The villain dares to ask the general and Jun again, tomorrow's battle, even if he only defends and does not attack, can the general still be sure that he can hold this battle? ”

Yuan Guang observed Lu Ming and Ji He's expressions, and said slightly proudly, "This is the big secret that the villain wants to dedicate to the general and the king!" ”

Lu Ming's calm demeanor disappeared.

Ji He was able to hold on, was silent for a moment, and asked, "Which valley Gao Yancao is walking, do you know?" ”

Yuan Guang scratched his head and said, "This ,...... When Cao Fei and Gao Yan Cao chose to pick the valley, they drove the villain out, but the villain didn't know. ”

Ji He said: "Your big secret, I know, you go down first!" ”

Gou Shan took Yuanguang and Nancheng out of the tent.

Lu Ming stood up, paced back and forth in the tent, rubbed his hands and said, "If Dingxi really sends troops to attack me from behind, my formation will be in danger!" Suddenly thinking of a little doubt, he stopped, stood in front of Ji He's couch, and asked, "...... Fang Ping, you say, is this Yuanguang's words credible? Could he be coaxing us? ”

"What are you trying to do with us?"

"Trick us into adjusting the formation and strengthening the defense behind the formation, so that Cao Fei and the others can break through our formation from the front?"

Lu Ming's imagination is quite rich, and Ji He laughed and laughed, but he dispelled a little worry and said, "No." ”

"Why not?"

"When Yuanguang spoke just now, I kept paying attention to him, and his attitude and tone didn't look like a fake; His younger brother is a man, I look at his demeanor, full of uneasiness, if he really comes to die, Dingxi will not pick such a person, this is one of them. And the Qubu was forcibly migrated into Jiankang County by Xin Youzhu, Yuanguang, as the son of the chief of this department, was dissatisfied with this and resentful, because it is understandable that he came to vote for my Daqin, and this is the second. Yuan Guang and Nan Cheng are the sons of Ba Ruoneng, even if they use tricks to trick me, there is no need to send his two sons, this is the third. ”

"What if these two are not the sons of Baruoneng?"

"In terms of appearance, there is no doubt that he is the second son of Ba Ruoneng."

Lu Ming believed in Ji He's analysis, so he had no doubts, and no longer dwelled on the point of "will Yuanguang be coaxing them", and said: "Then if what Yuanguang said is true, tomorrow's battle, our army will suffer from the enemy!" Fang Ping, will the plan be settled? ”

Ji He said: "If you can know that Gao Yancao is walking in that valley, you can block him at the mouth of the valley!" Only Yuanguang doesn't know. ”

Lu Ming said: "Why don't our troops immediately adjust the formation and strengthen the defense behind the formation?" ”

Ji He shook the feather fan lightly and said, "No." General, according to what Yuanguang said, Cao Fei and Ba Ruo can have more than 15,000 people in the two departments, and when they are combined with the Tianju department, it is 20,000 people! The strength of our army is almost three times that of our army. Cao Fei, the fierce general of Longzhi, if the defense behind the formation is strengthened, the front of our army may not be able to stop Cao Fei's attack. ”

"So what to do!"

Ji He had a countermeasure and said: "There is only one plan for today. ”
