In order to prevent another accident, Nan Jiyun asked all the Datang officials at the post station to follow him to Nanning Prefecture overnight. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Nan Jiyun led the main force of soldiers and horses, escorted hundreds of captured rebels from the land, and walked at the front of the team, the Tang officials from the capital, as well as the guards and miscellaneous servants walked in the middle, and the warriors of the Pingnan Army reconnaissance team walked at the back of the team to press the formation.

The team lined up in a long snake formation, holding torches and walking slowly, because the road was not very good, the officials of the Tang Dynasty did not take a car, but all rode horses, each official was equipped with a group of horses, in addition, there were more than 20 horses to be replaced, in order to prevent horses from getting sick and dying on the way.

The environment of the planing land is relatively difficult, but fortunately, when these Tang officials entered the planing land, it was already the early winter season, and the climate had already become extremely cool, except for the terrain was very bad, other aspects were okay, especially here there are many mountains and trees, and the scenery is still relatively pleasant, giving people a sense of pleasing to the eye.

Marching at night, many officials are more difficult, after all, they are not idle during the day, they have walked for a day, and they have to set off again after only a few hours of rest, and the tough guys who fight iron will be tired, not to mention these literati who have been studying history books since childhood?

The officials of the Tang Dynasty sat on the horses and kept napping, some simply lay on the back of the horse, hugged the neck of the horse and fell asleep, anyway, there were handymen responsible for leading the horse on foot, as long as they did not fall asleep, they would not fall off the horse.

The Datang officials who wanted to take a nap unknowingly fell asleep and fell off their horses, shouting in pain.

After being re-onboarded by the handyman, these injured Datang officials woke up completely and no longer had the slightest sleepiness.

Early the next morning, as soon as Li An got up, he heard a magpie outside the house, and then a soldier of the Pingnan Army who had been waiting for a long time immediately told Li An the news of last night's victory.

Knowing that things were going extremely smoothly and that the Tang officials were about to enter Nanning Prefecture, Li An was naturally quite happy, and immediately gathered his subordinates to prepare to meet these officials, and at the same time, prepared the soldiers and horses in the city to be imprisoned for the captured rebels.

Half an hour later, Li An and his subordinates warmly greeted the officials sent by the imperial court in the direction of the north gate of Nanning Prefecture, and relieved the tension in the hearts of the officials with warm greetings.

After a simple greeting, Li An asked the officials to go to the official residence to rest, after all, these officials have not had a good rest for almost a day and a night, these literati are relatively weak, in case of exhaustion and illness, Li An is not guilty.

"General, none of the rebel soldiers and horses involved in the operation have escaped the net, these are all prisoners, and the rest are buried."

Nan Jiyun's easy report.

Li An praised: "Good job, put these people in prison, and have a good trial to see who they are instructed by." ”

"Yes, General, I'll do it."

Nan Jiyun responded.

After arranging the Tang officials and the captured rebels, Ang Lee returned to his residence.

Nanning Prefecture Shouyu residence.

The mother and son of the planing guard and Duan Jianwei couldn't sit still.

The people under the command of the guards have told the mother and son what happened at the north gate truthfully, and the Tang Pingnan army successfully thwarted their conspiracy and annihilated all their more than 1,000 people, among them, the prisoners accounted for the majority, but the Tang officials were unscathed, and now, all of them have entered Nanning Prefecture and are under the protection of the Pingnan army.

After carefully planning for a long time, they actually suffered such a serious fiasco, which caused the confidence of Shouyu's mother and son and Duan Jianwei to suffer a major blow.

What's even more troublesome is that among these captured rebels, some people know that the three of them are the masterminds behind the scenes, and once these people bite them out, their good days will come to an end.

"Mother, our plan has completely failed, our people have been captured, once they confess, we will be dead, without further ado, evacuate quickly! It's too late. ”

Shogunyu Zhengsei.

Ah Ji nodded and said, "Okay, let's change our clothes immediately and prepare to leave this ghost place." ”

The mother and son had already prepared, and it took a very short time to change into ordinary people's clothes, and Ah Yi was even more exaggerated, directly disguising herself as a man and pretending to be a servant.

"Dudu, ma'am, you can't leave me behind!"

Seeing that the mother and son were ready to run away, but did not inform him, Duan Jianwei was very dissatisfied.

Ah Ji hurriedly said: "Mr. Duan, our goal together is too big, we should divide into two ways, our mother and son go out to the east, Mr. goes west, and after leaving the city, we meet ten miles outside the south gate." ”

"Alright, let's go."

Duan Jianwei had no better way, what else could he do but escape at this time.

The mother and son left the residence alone, and hurriedly walked due east, because they changed into ordinary people's clothes, ordinary people really couldn't recognize them, and Duan Jianwei went out alone, going due west, preparing to escape from Nanning Prefecture from the west gate.

Around the residence of the guard, many Pingnan army eyes had already been ambushed, and when they saw someone leaving in a hurry, they immediately followed, and immediately reported the matter to Li An.

"Big brother, our people reported that there was an abnormality in the mansion of the guard, and it was ...... just now"

Li Feiyu opened his mouth to report.

Li An thought for a while, frowned, and said: "This stranger has finally reappeared, you must follow him closely to see who he is, and the other two people are walking in a hurry, there must be a problem." ”

"Big brother, it's better to just arrest them all and interrogate them all to find out."

Li Feiyu felt that it was too much time to track or something, so it was better to arrest it directly to save trouble.

Li An shook his head and said, "No, you can't arrest people casually for no reason, you want democracy, understand?" ”

"Democracy? What do you mean? ”

"It's just to be reasonable, you can't always be rude, and when you encounter a little thing, you can be rude, I understand."

"Yes, big brother, I understand, if you want democracy, you can't just be rude."

Li Feiyu seems to understand whether he understands or not.

"General, the captured traitor has confessed, and the mother and son of the Shouyu have colluded with Duan Jianwei, a Nanzhao person, intending to put my Tang officials to death, the evidence is conclusive, and now you can arrest people."

Nan Jiyun walked in excitedly and reported on the progress of the interrogation.

Li An stood up and ordered: "Immediately lead troops to arrest people." ”

After speaking, he personally led the soldiers and horses to the residence of the guard.

The residence of the guard was not far from Ang Lee's residence, and it was not long before he rode a horse.

After a large number of soldiers and horses surrounded the house in the corner, Li An led some soldiers and horses to rush in and capture everyone in the house.

"General, the mother and son are not here."

"I've searched for them all, and the mother and son are really not here."

Li An nodded and said: "It seems that they put on makeup and escaped, fortunately, they didn't go for a long time, they immediately pursued, and that stranger should also be captured together, he is very likely to be Duan Jianwei." ”

"Yes, General."

Li An personally led a group of soldiers and horses to chase along the main road to the east of the city, and sent his subordinates to control the city gate to prevent these men from fleeing Nanning Prefecture.

"General, there is a secret passage in the eastern city wall."

Following the eyes of the mother and son of the mother, who had put on makeup, the eyes of the Pingnan Army found a secret passage on the edge of the east city wall, and the mother and son of the mother and son apparently escaped through the secret passage.

"What about the two men?"

Li Feiyu asked.

"When I followed to the city wall, I suddenly disappeared, I searched here for a long time, and found this secret passage, they should have escaped from the secret passage."

Li An is almost certain that the two people who escaped must be the mother and son of the guard, and these two people have committed such a big thing, they must be arrested and punished, otherwise, how can they reflect the majesty of the Tang Dynasty.

"The place where the mother and son can take the corner are only Dong Jiao, and the Wuman chief of Dong Jiao is Ah Yao's father, they will definitely flee there, and to go to Dong Jiao, they must pass through a big road in the east, we should be in time to launch a pursuit now."

Li An decided that the mother and son must have fled to Dongjiao, and immediately decided to lead a group of soldiers and horses to launch a pursuit.

There were more than 100 soldiers in the cavalry team of the Pingnan Army, all of whom followed Li An to launch a pursuit, and in order to expand the search area, the cavalry team divided the soldiers into several routes, respectively, to pursue, outflank and detour, blocking all the escape roads of the mother and son in the corner of the guard.

Ah Ji had long been ready to evacuate Nanning Prefecture, and for this reason, he had already arranged his henchmen outside the secret passage, and prepared more than a dozen horses in the nearby dense forest for escape.

After escaping from the secret passage, the mother and son immediately mounted their horses, and under the protection of several henchmen, they galloped to the east as fast as they could.

In order to prevent encountering the patrols of the Tang army, they chose a remote path to detour, and from this path they entered the only avenue leading to Dongjiao to increase safety.

Of course, it was precisely because of their caution that they missed the best opportunity to escape, and the first part of the Pingnan Army, under the personal leadership of Li An, rushed east along the nearest main road, and arrived at the main road leading to Dongjiao before the mother and son of the guard.

"General, we ran all the way, and we didn't find the mother and son of the guard, compared to them, they should take other paths."

"No matter which way they go, there are our pursuers, and they can't escape."

"General, will they have already entered the avenue and fled?"

Li An said cautiously: "This possibility cannot be ruled out, you immediately lead twenty horsemen and horses to pursue along the main road to the east." ”

"Yes, General."

The general of the department commanded, led twenty cavalry, and chased along the main road to the east.

Li An always had a hunch that he felt that the mother and son had not yet entered the main road, and should be running on a certain path.

"General, someone is running over on the path ahead, could it be them?"

"General, there are six of them, and a few batches of horses to be transferred."

"Aren't there just two of them? How could there be six people. ”

Li An grinned and said, "Maybe the mother and son of the guard had a premonition and made arrangements outside the city in advance, and the soldiers were ready to intercept them. ”

The officers and men of the Pingnan Army immediately dispersed to meet them.

The mother and son who were hurrying quickly saw more than a dozen Tang cavalry running at the fork in the road ahead, and they were so frightened that they quickly reined in their horses, and it was obvious that the Tang army had been waiting in front for a long time.

"Mother, Tang Jun, why is Tang Jun here, do they also know about our escape plan?"

The look on his face was horrified.

When she looked back, she saw more than a dozen cavalry running behind her, with a strong enemy in front and pursuers behind, which made her desperate.

"It looks like we've got no way out."

Ah Ji looked around, and there was no way out.

"Mother, if we are caught, we will definitely not be able to escape death, so it is better to fight and rush over."

Seeing that there were only a dozen cavalry in front of him, he thought about luck.

Ah Ji nodded and said, "That's it!" It's dead both horizontally and vertically, so rush out. ”

A group of six people, with four guards in front and a mother and son in the back, rushed straight ahead, while the changing horses stayed in place to block the pursuers behind.

Looking at the four bright weapons, the officers and soldiers of the Pingnan Army all laughed, isn't this sending them to death, just with these few people, they can also break through their defensive circle.

A burst of crossbows flew by, and all four rebels in front were shot off their horses, and the horses of the mother and son in the back were also shot by the crossbows, and they were thrown off their horses.

The mother and son struggled to get up from the ground and stood up with each other's arms.

"The Tang Dynasty treats you well, why are you anti-Tang?"

Li An asked knowingly and scolded.

"Datang regards me as a puppet, what does it mean to treat me well, I only hate myself for not planning well, and I hate it for life."

Knowing that he had no chance of being forgiven, he hardened his temper.

Ah Ji looked at her son and said helplessly: "We have no way to live, we will inevitably suffer from flesh and skin, so let's cut off ourselves!" ”

After speaking, he took out a dagger and plunged it into his heart.

"Mother."

The guard called out, took out the dagger in his arms, and killed himself.

The movements of these two people were very fast, and the soldiers of the Pingnan Army were riding on their horses, and they had no time to react, so they could only watch them kill themselves.

"General, they're dead."

A soldier jumped off his horse and tried their necks, but found that there was no pulse, and it was clear that the signs of life had disappeared.

"Dig a pit and bury it!"

Li An indifferently ordered and returned to Nanning Prefecture.

The soldiers and horses pursuing east along the main road also returned under the call of Wolf Smoke.

At the same time that Li An personally pursued the mother and son of the guard, another line of soldiers of the Pingnan Army had already captured Duan Jianwei, who was wearing makeup, and sent him to the prison to wait for Li An's disposal.

"Big brother, that stranger has been caught, and it's really Duan Jianwei, haha!"

Li An nodded and said, "The mother and son are also dead, let's go, let's go see Duan Jianwei." ”

As he spoke, he led a group of subordinates to the prison.

"Mr. Duan, it's been a long time, and Mr.'s luck is getting worse and worse."

Li An walked into the prison, just seeing Duan Jianwei's back, he recognized this person. (To be continued.) )
