Chapter 31 Trapping the Monolith Mouth 2

Gong waited for a long time for all the heroes in the Kanto region, and when he saw the arrival of the Liuhetang team, his spirits were lifted. Especially see a young man, stepping down the "dark clouds to support the moon", holding a white bright stainless steel heavy iron bamboo, such as entering the realm of no one, the iron bamboo sweeps, people turn over on their backs, incapable of blocking, the bow has been seen for a long time, full of surprise, knowing that the person who can tame the "dark clouds and the moon" must be a hero of the world. Sure enough, Lu Zhufeng jumped sideways, looking for a place where the Jurchens were densely populated to rush and kill, and several Jurchen generals wanted to step forward to block it, but they were cut off by Lu Zhufeng's iron bamboo sweep, and they were stunned by the heroes who waited for the bow for a long time. Liuhetang and the Kwantung people have added up to nearly 10,000 people, and they are all high-spirited, extraordinary, although the 20,000 Jurchen iron horsemen are brave and good at fighting, but they did not expect the strange soldiers to descend from the sky, and they are at a disadvantage.

At this moment, the dust and smoke suddenly rose from the northeast direction, and reinforcements came from the Jurchen Iron Cavalry all the way, with about more than 10,000 people, who immediately joined the battle formation. Liuhetang and the Kanto heroes were all fearless, fighting bravely, and the sound of killing was loud. At this time, Fang Guohuan had already seen the power of Sun Qi's array. The Jurchen Iron Cavalry wanted to break down the most powerful Dragon and Tiger Army several times, but under the drive of Zhao Qingyang's iron shocking mountain stick, the changes were endless, both offensive and defensive, and the Jurchens were defeated and retreated everywhere they went, like a copper wall and iron wall, invulnerable, and Fang Guolian was frightened. The same is true of the other arrays, each forming a powerful kill group.

Bu Yuan held a mountain opening knife, slashed and killed, and used the overlord bow to shoot the Jurchen generals, for a time to hit the people and horses flying wildly, the strong bow king bow for a long time can not help but be overjoyed, but also took off the giant bow, with a long arrow, shot the Jurchen generals, there are no survivors under the arrow, it seems to echo with Bu Yuan's overlord bow. Lian Qiying, who was watching the battle from a high place, and Fang Guolian looked at each other and smiled, knowing that the person who held the giant bow must be a strong bow king for a long time. Gu Sichen and Luo Kun were masters and apprentices, each holding a long sword, dancing as a group, clashes and emergencies in the enemy group, as if entering a no-man's land.

Although the Jurchens had an army of 30,000, they did not take advantage of it at all, and under the brave killing of the heroes, there were signs of defeat and retreat. The rest of the two sides fought fiercely for a while, some of them scattered, and the rest were wiped out. The people and horses of the two rivers and lakes in the inside and outside the customs converged together, killed and repelled the Jurchen chasing soldiers, turned back to Lian Qiying and others, and the team retreated to Qingfeng Mountain. Sun Qi ordered Lu Zhufeng, Han Mengchao, and Zhu Wei to lead five hundred dragon and tiger troops to break off, in case any more Jurchen iron cavalry chased after them.

When they arrived at Qingfeng Mountain, Du Jian and Lei Tianbao stepped forward to greet them, and when they saw that they had repelled the Jurchen pursuers, they were overjoyed, and Sun Qi ordered the two people to take a temporary rest. In this battle, Liuhetang only lost a dozen people, and the Kwantung people and horses were killed and wounded more than 200 people, which can be regarded as a dangerous retreat. Gong led the owners of the Kanto village to greet each other with Lian Qiying, Sun Qi and others, and thanked Liuhetang for receiving the grace in time. Under Du Jian's introduction, Gong Chang thanked Fang Guolian again, and was very grateful to him for his grace in the past, and then praised Lu Zhufeng's bravery. Gong Ying'er happily pulled Luo Kun over to meet Gong Chang, Gong Chang saw that Luo Kun had grown into a hero, which was a big surprise. The medicine king Gu Sichen also came over to meet Gong for a long time, and when he saw each other, it was difficult to describe the feelings after parting in a thousand words. The reception went smoothly, and the heroes were happy. Sun Qi didn't dare to be careless, and sent dozens of fast horses to reconnoiter from a distance in all directions, paying close attention to the movements of the Jurchen pursuers. Gong Chang was particularly worried, the Jurchen Iron Cavalry would not be willing to give up this defeat, and a large army would come soon. Sun Qi thought it was reasonable, and after resting for a while, he immediately ordered the men and horses to set off immediately and retreat to the Dushikou border pass, because this pass was not a place to stay for a long time. Sun Qi reinstated the six heroes of Liuhetang, and after the headquarters of Liuhetang was broken, he followed the heroes of Kanto, and there were about 10,000 people on both sides, and retreated to the border pass of Dushikou.

At this moment, a fast horse suddenly galloped from the direction of the border pass, and when it came close, the man on the horse turned over and rolled down, apparently injured. Lian Qiying, Sun Qi and others were startled, and hurriedly ordered someone to step forward to help them up, but when they saw the man, they said in a hurry: "The master of the main hall, Mr. Sun, the big thing is not good, the border pass of the monolith mouth has changed, for some reason, the officers and soldiers suddenly closed the checkpoint, and the whole army was on alert, it seems that tens of thousands of officers and soldiers have been transferred." Seeing that the situation was abnormal, Zhao Sishuo Tang stepped forward to ask, not wanting to be shot back by random arrows, injuring several brothers, and our retreat has been blocked. When everyone heard this, their expressions changed.

Sun Qi exclaimed: "The border is important, it is a sensitive place, just in case, so I sent people to monitor, I didn't expect things to change so quickly." Hong Jinshan was surprised and said: "That Zhang Weicheng has already made an appointment with my Liuhetang, how did he change the hexagram?" Seeing that the incident happened suddenly, Sun Qi immediately ordered the people to stop, and sent someone to order Han Mengchao and others behind him to closely monitor the movements of the Jurchens, and returned to more than ten hall masters such as Hong Jinshan to protect Lian Qiying Pegasus to the front of the Dushikou Pass.

At this time, Zhao Sishuo led people to come forward to greet him, and said: "The master of the main hall, Sun You's envoy, there are suddenly many officers and soldiers on the border gate, and the checkpoint is closed, I don't know what happened?" When Lian Qiying and Sun Qi looked forward, they saw that on the city wall of the Dushikou Pass, there were many swords and guns, and they were heavily guarded, as if they were facing a great enemy. Lian Qiying, Sun Qi and the others were surprised, and then led the horse to the place where the pass was an arrow away and stopped the mount. Hong Jinshan shouted towards the gate: "Liuhetang Hong Jinshan is here, I have something to see General Zhang Weicheng." At this time, a middle-aged military attache appeared on the castle tower. Hong Jinshan saw it and hurriedly said, "Is it General Zhang?" My family's head hall master and Sun Qi's right envoy are here, what happened to me, like a great enemy? ”

Zhang Weicheng on the city tower was stunned at this time, and when he heard that the head hall master of the Liuhe Hall had arrived, he was very surprised, and he hurriedly arched his hand and said: "It turns out that the world-famous Liuhe Hall has arrived, and it is disrespectful!" Disrespectful! Lian Qiying immediately returned the salute and said, "General Zhang, why don't you believe what you say?" Zhang Weicheng hesitated for a moment and said, "I don't know that your Tang people have taken over the heroes of the Kanto Green Forest?" Lian Qiying said: "Yes, we have joined the heroes of the Kanto region, and repelled the 30,000 Jurchen iron horsemen who came after us. ”

Zhang Weicheng was shocked when he heard this, and hurriedly calmed down: "Liuhetang really lives up to its reputation, but you can't enter the customs now, because it is possible that the Jurchen army will take the opportunity to enter. ”

Hong Jinshan hurriedly said: "General Zhang, do you suspect that we have colluded with the Jurchens and failed to take the opportunity to seize the pass?" Zhang Weicheng said: "This general believes that the Liuhe Hall is full of heroes and righteous people, and there will be no conspiracy with the Jurchens, but if you and the people of the Kwantung Green Forest are allowed to enter the customs at this time, it will inevitably lead the Jurchen army to the border and pose a threat to the border pass." Sun Qi said: "General Zhang, more than 10,000 of our lives have been in danger of being pursued and killed by the Jurchen Iron Cavalry, but please let the general let us enter the customs, and then defend with General Zhang according to the danger, and resist the enemy who comes to attack." ”

Zhang Weicheng said: "It's a pity that the people of the Kwantung Green Forest have led the Jurchen army to it, and it is up to you to think of a strategy to retreat from the enemy." Hong Jinshan said: "The Jurchen pursuers have been killed and retreated by us, where will this Jurchen army come from?" Zhang Weicheng said: "This general has been reported that Nurha Chiqin led 200,000 Jurchen iron cavalry to the border pass, and it is bound to annihilate the people and horses of the Kwantung Green Forest." If you are allowed to enter the customs, then Nurhachi will have an excuse to attack the fortified and plundered the land, which is an important border defense area, and the general's duty is not to be cautious. ”

Lian Qiying, Sun Qi and others couldn't help but be taken aback when they heard that the Jurchen army of 200,000 was coming. Hong Jinshan hurriedly said: "I have made an appointment with General Zhang in advance, why is it so repeated?" ”

Zhang Weicheng said: "At this time and that time, General Ben didn't expect to bring Nurhachi in person, the border pass is an eventful time at this time, and he has been at peace with the Jurchens all these years, and General Ben doesn't want to cause trouble, and make the court blame." Hong Jinshan said angrily: "Words are not believed, what is the reason for rejecting us from the customs in this way? ”

Zhang Weicheng said: "As long as the heroes and heroes can repel Nurhachi's 200,000 army and make the Jurchens lose their threat to the border defense area, General Ben will personally welcome you into the customs." When Hong Jinshan heard this, he said angrily: "We only have more than 10,000 people, how can we be able to defeat 200,000 Jurchen iron horsemen, doesn't this make us hit stones with eggs?" ”

Zhang Weicheng also said in a self-hardened tone: "This is your own business, and it has nothing to do with General Ben, in short, if you want to enter the customs, you will retreat from the Jurchen army." Hong Jinshan wanted to attack, Sun Qi stopped secretly, and said to Zhang Weicheng: "General Zhang, all reasonable people know that what the heroes of the Kwantung region have done is a righteous move, although it will not be beneficial to the country in the future, but the heroes will not surrender to foreign countries and return to the Central Plains, what a heroic spirit!" General Zhang also promised to send officers and soldiers out of the customs to respond if necessary, and he was also impressed by his righteousness, but why did he go back on his word so much? Zhang Weicheng was extremely embarrassed when he said this, and he couldn't help but say, "General Ben is also acting on orders, and he can't help himself." ”

Sun Qi and Lian Qiying were shocked when they heard this, and Lian Qiying hurriedly asked: "General Zhang has the sole power of border defense here, I don't know who else will be ordered?" Zhang Weicheng said a little hurriedly: "Take Shangfeng's order." Suddenly, he said that he was out of his mouth, and hurriedly said: "This general is also involuntarily, even the main hall will lead people and horses into the customs, and retreat from the Jurchen army." After speaking, he turned around and went away, and there were hundreds of sharp arrows aimed at everyone at the border pass, and Lian Qiying had to order to retreat.

Retreating to a safe place, Sun Qi asked Zhao Sishuo: "Hall Master Zhao, when did the border pass increase troops to seal the pass?" Zhao Sishuo said: "Since the master of the main hall led the team out of the pass, Sun Xian's subordinates monitored the Dushikou, at the beginning, it was still normal, and the soldiers on the pass seemed to be waiting for us to return safely with the heroes of the Kanto, somehow, just this morning, the officers and soldiers suddenly sealed the checkpoint, increased the troops and guarded, as if facing a great enemy. Seeing that the situation had changed, his subordinates stepped forward to inquire, not wanting to be shot back by random arrows. ”

When Sun Qi heard this, he frowned and said, "Increasing troops in the morning to seal the customs?" It seems that when things happened last night, who could mobilize the border generals who were guarding one side? Hong Jinshan said on the side: "This time out of the customs to meet the Kwantung people, and it is inevitable to encounter the Jurchens, I have also told Zhang Weicheng about these things, he also expressed his understanding, and promised to send troops to support us if necessary, who knows that he is a villain, and he turned his face overnight, and it changed so quickly." Sun Qi said: "Although the Jurchens are flourishing, they are not going to confront the imperial court for the sake of thousands of people in the rivers and lakes for the time being. Even if the Jurchen army chased after them, if they saw that we and others had already entered the customs, they would not rush to tackle the problem. Zhang Weicheng's rejection of me is tantamount to a monolithic mouth, which is very different from his previous attitude, and seems to have the intention of pushing us to a desperate situation and putting us to death. On weekdays, Liuhetang and Zhang Weicheng have no enmity, or even any contact, and there must be a reason for the changes here. ”

Lian Qiying said: "As a general at the border gate, he has the responsibility of protecting the territory and the people, if Zhang Weicheng thinks about his own long-term situation, he will not refuse my Liuhetang people outside the pass, this will do a hundred harms to Zhang Weicheng and no benefit, not only will he end up with a reputation for ignoring the safety of the people, but also will be the enemy of the entire Liuhetang, normally speaking, Zhang Weicheng does not dare to do this, is it his ......" Lian Qiying suddenly remembered a person, his heart was stunned, and suddenly there was a great uneasiness, and then he shook his head and said: "No, no." Sun Qi saw it and said, "What is the high opinion of the hall master?" Lian Qiying shook her head and said, "I'm just guessing at home, and that kind of thing won't happen." When Sun Qi heard this, he seemed to have an understanding.

At this time, Zhao Sishuo and several of his subordinates brought over a bloodstained person, and even Qiying, Sun Qi and others were shocked. Zhao Sishuo said: "The head hall master, Sun You's envoy, my subordinates just found this seriously injured brother over there, it seems that he is a person under the Huang Xiao Heaven Lord who stayed in the customs before leaving the customs to be an internal response. Lian Qiying and Sun Qi were shocked when they heard this, and hurriedly stepped forward to help this person, and Zhao Sishuo sent an emergency pill into this person's mouth. There was not much time, this person slowly opened his eyes, and when he saw Lian Qiying, Sun Qi and others surrounding him, he couldn't help but be happy, and said intermittently: "The head hall master, Sun You's envoy...... Situation in Kannai...... There have been changes. ”

Sun Qi hurriedly said: "This brother said slowly, what happened in the Guannei?" The man slowed down and said, "The subordinates were ordered to monitor the movements in the pass with the master of the Huang Hall, and on the night when the team left the pass, suddenly a team of Jinyi guards in the palace quietly came to the border pass of Dushikou and went to see Zhang Weicheng. "Jin Yiwei?" Lian Qiying and Sun Qi glanced at each other in surprise, as if they understood something. The man then said: "After Jin Yiwei went to the gate to see Zhang Weicheng for a while, he came out and left. Somehow. Zhang Weicheng suddenly transferred tens of thousands of officers and soldiers overnight to block Dushikou this morning. Huang Tang saw that things had changed abruptly, and he didn't know what had happened, so he immediately took the risk of sneaking into the barracks and captured a personal soldier of Zhang Weicheng. After the trial, I learned that the team of brocade guards had come to send the emperor's holy decree and ordered Zhang Weicheng to block the people of my Liuhe Hall from the outside of the gate, so that the Jurchens could be destroyed. When the master of the Yellow Hall heard the news, he hurriedly ordered his subordinates and two other brothers to take a long detour and climb the city wall to sneak out of the customs to report the news. The officers and soldiers who didn't want to be locked up found out that the two brothers were killed by random arrows, and their subordinates fought for their lives to escape. Then the man passed out.

Lian Qiying and Sun Qi were horrified, and hurriedly ordered someone to carry the messenger down for treatment. Sun Qi then said worriedly: "The hall master, it seems that if it is really him, he is going to attack our Liuhe Hall. Lian Qiying frowned and said, "Borrow a knife to kill!" Take the opportunity to cut off the power of my Liuhetang in the rivers and lakes, this is so vicious! ”

Sun Qi said: "This time, in order to meet the heroes of the Kanto, Liuhetang has almost exhausted the elites of each branch, such a large-scale concentration, the imperial court must be aware that this time we want to take advantage of the opportunity to go out of the customs, refuse to block the outside of the customs, cut off the way to retreat, and use the Jurchen iron horse to wipe out the elite of my Liuhetang. When Lian Qiying heard this, she was stunned in her heart, and then sighed and said: "Liuhetang's momentum is rising, this old brother of Liuhetang in the past, he actually thinks that we have a threat to his country, and this time he wants to destroy my Liuhetang elite outside the pass, which can be described as well-intentioned, and I also consider not to, so that the heroes are in this danger, but I don't know that my Liuhetang has achieved the cause of the rivers and lakes, where is the heart to fight with him." ”

Sun Qi said: "It turns out that the emperor has been deliberately trying to destroy Liuhetang, and he is obviously afraid of it, but this time he wants to use the power of the Jurchens to deal with us, borrow a knife to kill people, and deceive the world, it is too vicious!" ”
