Yuen Long naturally did not know the true purpose of Xie Gelao's hiding in Longshou County, and this person had always acted in a fair and upright manner, and he did not act out of the ordinary, but he did not attract the attention of the garrison in the city. But today's events are very strange. Xie Ge Lao actually had so many masters around him, could it be that this person had other plans?

Yuen Long didn't dare to think about it, because over the years, Xie Ge Lao had quite a prestige in Longshou County, but these garrisons were latecomers, and they always had a relationship. No matter how the county keeper balances, Longshou County is never a one-person county, but a shelter for everyone.

There are no eggs under the nest, and the lips will be cold if they die, and these simple truths can naturally be understood. It's just that at the moment, if there is a change in the city, there is no need for external forces, and with this toss alone, Longshou County will also collapse. The power accumulated over the years has made Longshou Junshu very popular. Luoyang sent heavy troops to attack, which must be subversive.

The more Yuen Long thought about it, the more frightened he became, and a cold sweat unconsciously broke out in his hands. Fortunately, Elder Xie Ge had already led the crowd away, and there were only Gu Xing, who was dressed as a man and a woman, and Miss Siyan, who was not a person inside and outside. Yuen Long stabilized his mind, without the slightest breath exposed, the decisive color flashed in his eyes, and walked towards Gu Xing and the three of them.

The garrison has surrounded this place, and tonight the movement has been a little big, and it is only a matter of time before the wind leaks, but it is necessary to settle everything before the wind leaks, so as to stabilize the situation and stabilize the morale of the army. Yuen Long felt a big mountain clatter on his shoulders, and at this time there was no one in the city to trust, no one to rely on, and he could only rely on himself.

Yuen Long pondered, his footsteps non-stopping. walked straight to Gu Xing's body, grabbed Gu Xing's clothes, and said viciously: "These three people are suspicious, take them all away." I will be interrogated separately. ”

Siyan originally thought that Yuen Long was familiar with Gu Xing and others, but he didn't expect to come back like this. At the moment, if you take advantage of the chaos to escape, you will be able to confirm the identity of the hidden pile, so it is better to plan and see what tricks this person can play. Gu Xing and Chen Fusheng did not struggle, but showed extremely resentful looks.

Naturally, they knew what Yuen Long was doing, but it was just for others to see, to hide their eyes.

After pushing the three of them into the carriage, Yuen Long let out a long sigh. The storm here hit his heart without exception. The night has sunk, and the lights and shadows in the distance are building, I don't know whose little mother is looking forward to the return of Langjun, or whose old mother and child, waiting for the dream that will never return......

Yuen Long only found out at this time that he was still holding the Pu knife that had been with him for many years, and the mottled spots on the knife had been deeply embedded, and he had tried to wipe it off, but to no avail. For some reason, this matter reached the ears of the ordinary general, and he was ridiculed for a while, and his words "For soldiers and generals, blood stains the body, how can it be based on this subsection." If you look ahead, it will be difficult to achieve great things. Once upon a time, the rivers and lakes were like this, and so were the temples......"

At this time, rubbing the handle of the knife, I couldn't help but think of it. The voice of the ordinary general echoed in his ears, and if he whispered on his side, it was deafening.

A gust of cold wind swept by, and I didn't realize that it was the early winter solstice, different from the warm winter in the south of the Yangtze River, which is close to Longxi and adjacent to Mobei, and often felt the cold and biting meaning faster than other territorial counties. This cold, which is not controlled by the thickness of the clothes, penetrates deep into the bone marrow after every blow, and blows over the body inch by inch, like a boning knife sweeping through the flesh and blood, taking away everything, leaving not an inch.

At this time, who was also feeling this cold, there was also the Luoyang advance army that led the army here. The leading general, Zhou Dewei, was not cold because of his thin clothes and armor, but looked at the closed door in front of him, and his eyes showed a chill.

also felt the cold, as well as Fu Xi, who was named the city by Zhou Dewei before. This person is the younger brother of Fu Roar, the defender of Hezhong Mansion, Zhou Dewei dares to advance like this, on the one hand, it is the way of conceited marching soldiers, and on the other hand, it depends on how capable the person on his side is.

They traveled all the way, and the journey was tiring. But Zhou Dewei maintained a high enough spirit, which seemed to convey young and vigorous energy like his face. Fu Xi naturally didn't know what the other three people thought, but the other three held back, wanting to take a look at the imminent "liveliness".

Zhou Dewei narrowed his eyes, leaned on the horse's back with his arms folded, and asked in a low voice, "Why don't you hold the lamp?" ”

This sentence naturally asked Fu Xi, and he was also a little puzzled at this time. When he came, he secretly delivered the letter, hoping that his brother would be able to open the city gate to greet him, and if he couldn't, he also needed to make a show, so that this person would not see the clue directly. What Fu Xi had in mind were two plans for progress and order.

If the brother did not rebel, then it would naturally be logical to enter the city to rest, and then follow the army to attack Longshou County. If the brother rebels, he will also lure the enemy into the city, and then kill him. But now there is a third situation, and there is no fire at the head of the city, but darkness.

Zhou Dewei raised his hand and motioned for all the soldiers to stop, maintaining a position that could be reached but would not conflict. After looking at it for a long time, he turned his head to look at Fu Xi, "Captain Fu, it's time for you to play." ”

Fu Xi felt uneasy in his heart, but he stepped forward with a stubborn horse, and none of the soldiers behind him came out, and when he walked to the Hezhong Mansion only ten zhang away, he suddenly tightened the reins. The river mansion was still as silent as death, and even the patrolling people did not show up.

This strange situation made Fu Xi feel anxious, not only him, but also the three lieutenants beside Zhou Dewei. They have more or less connections with the people in the city, even if they can't bear it at this time, but when they get to Hezhong Mansion, they will eventually reveal their flaws.

Zhou Dewei in front of him is the first brave general under Li Cunqiao, don't look at the green face, but he is already a veteran of the battlefield who is scheming and calculating.

Finally, the silence of the night was broken by the sound of arrows that broke through the air. In order to hide people's eyes, Zhou Dewei led the crowd to come and did not hold the lamp. And this arrow was also shot from the darkness, straight at Fu Xi, who was advancing to the city under the royal horse. Fu Xi was keenly aware of an arrow shooting in the darkness, and suddenly drew his short blade and slashed it forward, and the arrow was split into two parts.

When he realized that something was wrong and was about to turn his horse's head, the city wall was ablaze, and dozens of soldiers waved their flags and shouted, and the momentum was amazing.

Zhou Dewei, who was behind, suddenly became interested and looked up. I saw that the head of the leader was wrapped in a white belt, and a serrated fast knife and pestle in his hand were in front of him, looking at their group of "uninvited guests" condescendingly. And Fu Xi was startled by this "suddenly" and let out a cold sweat, and at this time, the fierce horse under his crotch couldn't help jumping, and he seemed to be frightened.

Fortunately, Fu Xi has not forgotten the mission when he came, if he hadn't shouted this sentence, I'm afraid that before the people at the head of the city were shot, he would have been stabbed through by the people behind him. Although the current situation is uncertain, it is still time to allow him to speak this voice.

Fu Xi stabilized his figure, sat upright on his horse, and shouted at the top of his voice: "I am Luoyang Captain Fu Xi, I am here with General Zhou Dewei's order, please open the city gate quickly." ”

As soon as these words came out, the people waving the flag in the city suddenly stopped, and the general with a white scarf on his head also got up in confusion and stepped forward and asked, "But Fu Xi of the Luoyang Fu family, your brother is Fu Yao, the general of the defenders here?" ”

Fu Xi was overjoyed when he heard this, and he didn't have time to look back at the people behind him, so he dragged his horse and walked a few steps forward. But unexpectedly, the people in the city raised their hands and shouted, "Who told you to move?" One step further and I'll shoot you on the spot! When the words fell, an arrow had already flown in, and this sudden change in the situation made Fu Xi and the people behind him a little unexpected.

Zhou Dewei seemed to anticipate the scene in front of him, and did not speak, but looked at the people in the city indifferently, waiting for Fu Xi's next move. Fu Xi froze on the spot at this time, but the fierce horse under him was manic and neighing at an inopportune time, constantly stimulating the nerves of both sides of the confrontation.

Fu Xi finally couldn't suppress the fear in his heart, and let out an angry roar, "I am Luoyang Fu Xi, please ask my brother Fu to come out and speak." ”

This sound is like a bell, resounding here. Unexpectedly, there was a burst of contemptuous laughter, "The Fu family has fallen, and Fu Roar has already become a sinner in Hezhong Mansion, do you know?" ”

"Impossible, I still had a correspondence with my brother a few days ago, my brother is fine, let me come here to find him, how can I ......" Fu Xi was shocked, expecting that things had changed, but he still pretended to be calm and wanted to listen to more truth.

The general on the city wall spat and continued to roar: "Fu yells at this person, treacherous. I actually want to communicate with foreign enemies and you and others to be embarrassed, but I don't know that we have already been in the same breath as Longshou County, just waiting for you to come and die! ”

As soon as these words came out, the city was full of roars like thunder, and it exploded. At this time, it was useless to quibble, Fu Xi turned his head to look back at Zhou Dewei, and saw the young general waving at him, and stretched his waist comfortably, so he said casually: "Since this is the case, then there is no need to show mercy." ”

Fu Xi only felt that the torch behind him was raised high, and the momentum was huge, so he hurriedly turned the horse's head and retreated towards the rear. And although the people at the head of the city had guessed that someone was coming, they did not expect that there were tens of thousands, and they couldn't help but gasp. You must know that he mutinied in an uproar before the arrival of the Luoyang army and seized control of Hezhong Mansion, which was to buy time for Longshou County. I thought that there was no need to fight each other, but I didn't expect that there would be another person after Fu Xi, and if this person behaved, there would be a death battle.

The generals of the city immediately made a decision, summoned the crossbowmen who had been prepared for a long time, and aimed at the incoming "enemy army" in Luoyang, and shot at the enemy's head at any time as soon as the bowstring could be loosened.

But the person who came was not an ordinary general, but Zhou Dewei, who was brave and good at fighting and outstanding in cunning. After saying that, Zhou Dewei did not give the order to rush forward to die, but turned the horse's head and suddenly retreated, as if he intended to escape. When the generals on the city wall saw this, they laughed loudly, "It's rumored to be just Er'er, but I didn't expect it to be just a papier-mâché tiger." ”

Not only were the defenders of Hezhong Mansion puzzled, but even the other three lieutenants beside Zhou Dewei were at a loss. But they knew very well the truth that military orders were like mountains, and they didn't dare to ask questions, so they could only go with the army. Zhou Dewei said as he walked: "There is no need to suspect, I have my own magic method to take this city." It's just that it is not appropriate to attack at the moment, and it is the best policy for us to pretend to withdraw and outflank from both sides. ”

At this time, everyone understood that this move was not to retreat, but to hide people's eyes. As for the next march, it depends on Zhou Dewei's means......
