Chapter 38 Han Sui's Bottom of the Cauldron Draws Salary
The flames burned the ridges of the roof, and black ashes fell like snowflakes.
The air oppressed by darkness was filled with the smell of blood and burning.
The people, awakened from their sleep, fell in terror on both sides of the road.
The continuous war is not only accustomed to the upper class, but also ordinary people, who are no longer panicked.
They feared for their lives, slaughtering the city or not, depending on the face of the one who was guarded by the army.
Liu Yun actually didn't like war, especially not seeing the scorched earth in front of him.
However, this cannot be avoided.
He is now an arrow on the string, and if he wants to live safely, he can only be strong.
If he hadn't met Ma Wenlu, Liu Yun might have stayed on Izumo Mountain forever and thought of other ways.
What Liu Che explained, Liu Yun may do it in a different way.
The sonorous sound of horses' hooves bypassed the bluestone street that ran through the entire city of Caohan, and Song Jian's palace appeared in front of him.
In this slightly rough city, this royal palace resembles a gorgeous behemoth.
I don't know how many steps lifted the palace almost to the sky.
At this time, stationed on this step was the fierce iron cavalry under Liu Yun.
A group of richly dressed men, like cattle driven into a pen, curled up in a heap and nestled on the steps.
Liu Yun dismounted and took his soldiers up the steps.
He roughly counted the steps, which were about 90 steps.
In the ancient cultural heritage, nine is the highest number of yang, and it also means the pinnacle of power.
Song Jian's king's heart, on this step, you can get a glimpse.
It's just that he encircled Wang Tu's hegemony in this cramped small city, how can he try to win the world?
This product is really bad!
Among the hundreds of men and women, Liu Yun saw Song Jian at a glance.
The traveling crown worn by the princes and princes, in such a group of people, it is impossible not to be eye-catching, and it is still bright red.
It seems that Song Jian still knows a lot about the etiquette of the Han Dynasty.
"Wang Zhi, what color does this Yuanyou Guan wear in winter?" Liu Yun suddenly asked.
Wang Zhi smiled a little wryly, and said, "Lord, don't ask me about this!" The last general is just a mountain of forests and grass, how can you know this. ”
"Casually asked, I remember that the crown of the trip is with five o'clock, and it should be black in winter." Liu Yun muttered.
He just wanted to make sure he wasn't really mistaken.
On the chair brought by the general, Liu Yun sat down with a golden knife and shouted: "Song Jian, raise your head!" ”
Among these Western princes, Song Jian may be the youngest one.
After all, he is a king figure, and his face is heroic and outward, and he is quite heroic.
Only those small eyes, which were a little in the way, changed the heroism of his whole face, and made it a little more obscene.
"You are Liu Yun?" Song Jian's eyes like mung beans looked at Liu Yun and asked.
Liu Yun smiled slightly and said, "Yes, I am the Liu Yun you want to be a minister!" ”
Song Jian tidied up his crown clothes, smoothed his goatee like fluffy grass with saliva, turned his body and knelt in front of Liu Yun, and shouted: "Minister Song Jian, please see the lord." ”
Liu Yun couldn't help but laugh when he watched Song Jian's operation.
"What do you mean by that you want to be a vassal to me?" Liu Yun asked.
Song Jian raised his head and replied: "Yes, the lord, I have changed my mind, and I will be a minister to the lord." ”
Liu Yun was not happy to hear this joke, but felt as if he had been insulted by this dog thing.
After the defeat of the army and the destruction of the city, he said that he had changed his mind, where was the arrogance of the earlier?
Here, there is no such thing as not knowing each other.
"We'll talk about that later. Song Jian, I have a little doubt, I want to verify you. Some people say that all the generals in the West are upright and bent up, and they have no intention of the world, and they are just happy for the time being. What do you think? ”
With a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, Liu Yun asked, he really wanted to know the answer.
When Bian Zhang and Han Sui raised their troops, they were known as the 36 soldiers and horses.
These thirty-six are all princes, and now they have been annexed by Han Sui, but those who remain are still a little capable.
Song Jian couldn't help but frown, he knelt on the ground and took two steps forward, and said: "This statement is absurd, what is not the will of the world, it is the opinion of those vulgar villains. As far as his subordinates are concerned, sticking to Caohan is to keep the foundation of the Han family and not be stolen by thieves. Although it is an inch of land, it is also an inch of land in the Han family, and the world starts from an inch of land. ”
This answer, pure bullshit.
Liu Yun glanced behind Song Jian and said, "There are a lot of female dependents, but it's a pity that your answer doesn't meet my requirements, and you don't have a chance to enjoy it anymore." After all, he is also a prince and a king, so I'll give you a whole corpse. ”
Liu Yun took out the saber in the hands of his own soldiers and threw it in front of Song Jian.
The joy on Song Jian's face gradually faded, and his face suddenly turned as white as snow on a distant mountain.
His eyes trembled, and he couldn't help but breathe rapidly as he looked at the long knife in front of him that shimmered with cold light.
"Lord, I am willing to give everything, but I ask for ...... Just beg, spare my life! ”
Song Jian looked up at Liu Yun, his trembling eyes full of cautious pleading.
Liu Yun's eyes were full of kindness, looked at Song Jian, and said, "Do you think that my army is here, will I let you go of these inheritances?" It doesn't seem to be useful if you don't want to, does it? ”
In these 39 cold days, Cen Cen's cold sweat broke out on Song Jian's face.
He racked his brains and thought desperately, but in the end, it seemed that nothing could make Liu Yun bypass his life.
The city of Caohan is gone, and everything about him is gone.
"I'm not a good person, but I have a very good advantage, I'm extremely short-sighted! You destroyed my Longsang City, killed 462 soldiers, and there is nothing else to repay, I can only use your head to pay tribute to the heroic souls of my soldiers! When the smile on Liu Yun's face disappeared, the murderous aura was like substance.
Song Jian laughed miserably, raised his head and shouted, "Becoming a king and defeating a villain!" ”
As if he were crazy, he grabbed the long knife violently, and slashed his wrist through his neck.
Liu Yun stood up, glanced at Song Jian's eyes, and ordered, "Send his head to the city gate!" ”
"Whoa!"
Song Jian was shown to the public, and this prince, who could have been divided for more than 30 years, ended his hegemony so early.
Under Liu Yun's tough hand, history has changed little by little.
At least, Liangzhou is no longer that Liangzhou.
The biggest separatist force in Liangzhou is not only Han Sui and Ma Teng, but also Liu Yun.
Wang Zhi sent someone to count the supplies in the city.
At the same time, the secret agents of the next palace under the command of the Nine Palaces Division also began to send news one after another to Caohan City.
Gongsun Lu and Ma Teng played a big game of chess in the entire Liangzhou, and Liu Yun's Jiugong Division will also spy all over Liangzhou.
This is also a big game of chess, a big game of intelligence.
The plank road is repaired in the light, and the warehouse is in the dark.
What Ma Teng and Gongsun Lu planned was a game of chess that was almost exactly the same as Liu Yun's before.
Perhaps the only difference is that last time Han Sui became Liu Yun's actor under unknown circumstances.
And this time, it was Liu Yun and Ma Teng who cooperated to play for Han Sui.
This is almost the same script, so far, Han Sui has not believed it, and his alertness seems to have improved a lot.
Pang De's military horses have withdrawn from Yuzhong, and it has been half a day since Zhiyang and Zhiyang, and it stands to reason that Han Sui has already gotten the news.
But he is still standing still, but there are traces of soldiers and horses in Dunhuang, Poqiang and other places.
It's just that the secret agents of the Jiugong Division have not yet penetrated into those places, and the information Liu Yun has obtained has a lot of hearsay elements.
Han Sui didn't move, and most of this plan was aborted.
As for a Song Jian, Liu Yun didn't take him seriously, and Ma Teng didn't take it seriously.
Song Jian, although he plays an important role in this plan, after all, he is probably equivalent to a giveaway.
"Lord, do we have to wait?" Wang Zhi warmed his wine and asked Liu Yun.
Liu Yun casually threw the secret report he had just received into the fire and said, "No need to wait, no matter whether Han Sui is fooled or not, the Heguan area must also be in the bag, and our attack on Song Jian can also be said to aggravate the authenticity of this plan." Han Sui is now sitting on the mountain watching the tiger fight, he not only has to judge that all this is true, but also judge where and where his profit lies. ”
Wang Zhi patted his head and muttered, "Lord, do you think there is a way to change your head in this world?" ”
"What? You want to change your head and play around. Liu Yun couldn't help but smile and asked.
Wang Zhi glanced at the almost warm wine, filled Liu Yun with a bottle, and said helplessly: "I really want to try it again, the lord talked about these strategies, my head began to get sleepy, Mo said that I had a clue, and it was difficult to understand." ”
"Then I'm afraid you will have to wait until the next life, there should be no hope in this life, and the divine doctor Hua Tuo probably doesn't have this ability." Liu Yun said with a smile.
Wang Zhi laughed, although his tone was quite depressed, but his laughter was still hearty.
"Lord, I feel that Han Sui's plan is not only for profit, but also for hatred!" Wang Zhi said.
Liu Yun took a sip of wine, gestured on the hand-drawn map and asked, "Why do you say that?" ”
"The relationship between Han Sui and Ma Teng should not be as harmonious as it once was, and it should be the time to be called brothers. Now it's probably the enemy meeting, and it's very red-eyed, Zhiyang, Yuzhong, Hanyang and other places are in the hands of these two people, it's going around and around, and I don't know how many times. Wang Zhi grinned, poured two bottles of wine, and burped in satisfaction.
Subsequently, Wang Zhi continued: "Han Sui has always had the intention of destroying Ma Teng, and Ma Teng also has the intention of revenge. It is not always clear what their real plans are. ”
Liu Yun's expression was abrupt, and Wang Zhi's words suddenly woke him up.
Whether it is Han Sui or Ma Teng, they can conquer the two dominant families in Liangzhou in this group of heroes.
Their minds are never that simple.
As Wang Zhi said, it is really unknown what their real plans are.
"Lord, there is only Zhao Deng in Hanyang County now, if Pang De goes south from Yuzhong and takes Pingxiang City directly, our rear will be in danger. Izumo Mountain is now the lord's greatest reliance, and there is no room for error. Wang Zhi persuaded.
Liu Yun's expression changed, and he suddenly shouted in a deep voice: "Summons Jiang Zheng, lead the army back to defend Ji County." ”
What Wang Zhi said was not wrong, what kind of calculation Han Sui and Ma Teng were making, Liu Yun could not consider it for the time being.
At the very least, you have to ensure the safety of your own square inch.
In the adult world, there is no profit and no early age, this sentence works for everyone.
Liu Yun himself is like this, and the idea of treating others with himself may be wrong.
But in the general direction, it is impossible to go too wrong.
Today's Liangzhou land, to put it bluntly, is a matter of three families competing for power, what they do is that you beat me, he beat him, and I beat him.
Putting the most difficult to guess people's hearts on strategic intentions becomes even more confusing.
Send spies to expedite the general's order to Di Dao.
Liu Yun and Wang Zhiluo discussed and decided to divide the troops into two routes, one way to take Heguan and the other to Baishi.
Baishi Castle is adjacent to Samwolfqiang, and although it is a small place, it is a strategic place and a trade market.
After Wang Zhi led the army to attack, a young man appeared in front of Liu Yun.
"No. 1 of the second palace Jiazi to meet the lord."
It was an incomparably young, incomparably handsome face, with sharp edges and fair skin like a woman.
Such a man should be the dream lover of countless women.
Liu Yun glanced at the man in front of him and asked, "Who gave you this code name?" ”
"Back to the lord, he is the lord of the palace!" A number one returns.
Standing on the steps outside the palace, the cool breeze of the night blowing on its side, Liu Yun looked up at a hazy quarter moon and asked, "What is your real name?" ”
"Please atone for your sins, when I joined the Nine Palaces, I asked the palace master to erase our names, so I have a code name." A No. 1 replied suddenly.
Liu Yun glanced sideways at the No. 1 character A with a slightly curved waist, and understood in his heart.
In this world, there are always some people's names that cannot appear.
Just as Han Sui's real name is Han Yue, it was only after following Nangong Boyu's uprising that he became Han Sui.
"I made a bet with General Wang Zhi, I bet that you can stir up a bloody storm in this Caohan City, do you think I won or lost?" Liu Yun asked deliberately.
Liu Yun doesn't know their names and backgrounds, all he cares about is ability.
On the good-looking face of No. 1 A, he did not smile, and replied in a mechanical voice: "The lord has won!" ”
"But Song Jian is not dead!"
Liu Yun's gaze once again moved away from the rolling grassland in the distance and looked at Jiazi No. 1.
Jiazi No. 1 pursed his lips, paused slightly, and said: "Don't dare to deceive the lord, tonight is the time to assassinate Song Jian." ”
"Why? Do you think that Song Jian is dead, when to act, and how to act, it depends on your own imagination? Liu Yun's voice suddenly had a hint of questioning.
A hint of panic flashed in the bright eyes of Jiazi No. 1, and he suddenly said: "I don't dare to be humble, just because tonight General Song Jian personally led the army to the east and planned for Han Sui to attack Di Dao." The lowly position has placed people in Song Jian's guards, and Song Jian can be shot at any time. ”
Liu Yun looked at Jiazi No. 1 fiercely, and asked, "Han Sui will attack Di Dao tonight?" Is this news confirmed? ”
"It's true, the assassin of the second palace with the rank of A, assassinated 36 officials of the same size in Zaohan today, and five of them said the news." A word No. 1 bowed down and said.
For Liu Yun, this is not good news.
Although Di Dao is the base camp of Ma Teng, there are not many soldiers and horses now.
According to the information stolen by the secret agents of the first palace, Di Dao is now guarding barely 10,000 people.
"Where did Han Sui's soldiers and horses come from?" Liu Yun thought deeply and asked.
From Jincheng to Didao and Hanyang, large-scale military movements should be difficult to hide from the eyes and ears of the first palace.
If there was any trouble, there should have been news a long time ago.
And there must be Ma Teng's scout activities in that area, Han Sui transferred troops to attack Di Dao, and Ma Teng couldn't find out.
Jiazi No. 1 replied: "The lord is a soldier and horse from Xiping and Guzang, who come out day and night, and come through Baishi City by means of the road to participate in the wolf and Qiang. How many people there are, I'm afraid only Song Jian knows, maybe Song Jian doesn't know. ”
Liu Yun couldn't help but feel a little big in his head, Han Sui was playing with a salary at the bottom of the kettle, what a chicken thief.
He and Ma Teng were completely kept in the dark, and they kept their eyes on the north, but no one expected that he would come from the west and stick diagonally into the rear.
Now that Wang Zhi has divided his troops to attack Baishi City and Heguan, it is very likely that he will meet with Han Sui's wave of men.
Thinking of this, Liu Yun immediately wrote an order to recruit people and send them to the front line.
If encountered, immediately withdraw from the army.
Liu Yun didn't want to use his small cavalry to shake Han Sui's brigade.
It's a good idea to close the door and beat the dog.
Picking up the ring-head knife he carried with him, Liu Yun quickly drew the general military distribution of southern Liangzhou on the ground.
Without drawing, Liu Yun didn't even have an outline in his mind.
This is probably the legend, no picture of an exclamation point......
The ancient city of Ma Dai Tun'an will go north tonight.
Ma Chao feinted to attack Shouyang, and will also go north tonight.
The destination of both is in Jincheng.
Pound's army hid in the mountains south of Yuzhong, aiming at Yuzhong.
Ma Teng was in Didao, standing still.
Jiang Zheng led 10,000 troops, and he was in Di Dao, and according to the time calculation, the military order should not have arrived.
Gai Xun led 10,000 Dunhuang troops in Shouyang.
And Liu Yun himself is in Caohan, and he is divided into three places.
Wang Zhi took 6,000 cavalry, divided the troops into two routes, and attacked Heguan and Baishi City.
This picture...... Liu Yun looked at it, and his mind was a little messy.
This intricate relationship is messed up and messed up.
According to the original plan, Ma Dai and Ma Chao's military horses should have already set off.
This was originally the reinforcement that Han Sui led the army out of Jincheng, intending to occupy the magpie's nest and cut off Han Sui's back road.
In this way, Ma Teng's rear is basically empty.
Han Sui's back road is definitely accurate!
Now the only one who can turn the tide and change the situation of the war should be his own way.
Liu Yun stared at the scribbled route on the ground, looked at it for a long time, and finally had something in his mind.
Just use the trick of closing the door and hitting the dog!
Fang Hansu's army from afar attacked Di Dao, and then the two roads besieged them, trapping them under Di Dao City.
Regardless of whether Ma Teng has other plans, Jiang Zheng's military horse will return to Ji County, and Hanyang County will be safe.
Liu Yun prayed now, this was not Ma Teng and Han Sui teaming up to act for him again.
It seems that with the combined strength of the two of them, there is no need to act.
But it doesn't hurt to think of the worst.
In this way, even if he faces a bad result, Liu Yun has psychological preparation and a way to deal with it in time.
"Lord, there is a plan for lowly duties!"
No. 1, who had been standing silently on the side, suddenly said.
Liu Yun looked up and was stunned, thinking too intently, and forgot that the number one was still on the side.
After smashing his somewhat numb leg after squatting a few times, Liu Yun stood up and asked, "What's the plan?" Say. ”
"My lord, Han Sui's men and horses have come from Xiping and Guzang across hundreds of miles, and they will attack Di Dao tonight. If nothing else, the purpose of their passage to White Rock City is to take a temporary rest and recuperate to deal with the next battle. From Baishi City to Di Dao, waiting for the war horse to nourish the spirit, it can be reached in an instant. A number one analyzed.
Liu Yun nodded and said: "You don't think well, they go out day and night in order to hide people's eyes and ears, and it is dark at night, it is the time to march, and it is unlikely that they will take a tired army to attack Di Dao." Most likely, that's what you're talking about, so what's your plan? ”
A fire seemed to burn in the bright eyes of Jiazi No. 1, and he said in a crisp voice like gold and iron: "Hide in White Rock City, take the opportunity to kill its general!" If the generals who lead the army die, even if it is tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, they will be a rabble. ”
"Operation decapitation? You're very enlightened. But what if they're already in White Rock City? It will be a heavily guarded wall. And I just gave Wang Zhi an order, but if you encounter Han Sui's men, retreat immediately, and you have no reinforcements. ”
The plan of Jiazi No. 1 is very much in line with Liu Yun's mind, but he still wants to know what he thinks about the details of Jiazi No. 1's plan, and the details are the key to all assassinations.
Organized and planned decapitation operation, this kid's thinking is still quite advanced.
In an instant, Liu Yun saw the bright future of the second house!
Jiazi No. 1 said: "Lord, the people I brought are all familiar with flying claws and practice, and have the ability to fly eaves and walk walls, and it should be no problem to quietly enter White Rock City." ”
"You're taking a risky gamble!" Liu Yun said in a deep voice.
Jiazi No. 1 paused and said: "Lord, assassination is a big gamble. And I'm sure I'll be able to leave safely. ”
"Yes, do what you want, but if you can't do it, don't do it."
Liu Yun put his hands behind his back, looked at the gently curved grassland in the distance for a moment, and agreed to the plan of Jiazi No. 1.
In fact, the plan of the first word is to gamble, and his plan is also gambling.
So I hope that the two bets together can have a good chance of winning.
"Whoa!"
With a hint of surprise in his bright eyes, Jiazi No. 1 glanced at Liu Yun and responded loudly.
Wrapped in a black robe that blended with the night, the first word quickly disappeared into the darkness.
The second palace of the Nine Palaces, this crash course formed by the people of the royal court under Liu Yun's order.
At this moment, Liu Yun saw an incomparably bright hope.
It may still have a lot of problems today, but Liu Yun sees its efficiency and its strict organization.
This has fulfilled the basic requirements of an Assassin Order!
