"Military advisor, father-in-law, the child does not do this business in Nanyang, and there is no need to bring 5,000 men and horses, it is enough to give 2,000 people to the child. All the way to the capital is a high mountain and dense forest. ”
"Hmmm! Childe has a point. We have to do it, but we can't do it in our own realm, but we have to do it in someone else's territory, so that we can lead the waters of evil to other places, and it has nothing to do with us. There is a place to start along the road to the capital, and the gods can be ambushed in the mountains of Shangluo. Take the map and ---" Li Mi's eyes lit up after Zhu Deng's reminder, after all, King Liang and his relatives brought too many treasures, and anyone was red-eyed, not to mention that Li Mi and the others needed this batch of wealth for Chen Guokong's way, that person was the most greedy, and it was estimated that even Yang Xuangan would not be able to enter his mansion without money, let alone a good errand in Chen Guo.
Yang Xuangan's personal entourage Xiao Xiao Colonel hurriedly took out the map, pushed the wine and meat on the table aside, and Li Mi spread out the map and looked at the terrain and official road to the north.
"Here to the north of a hundred miles away is the Jinzhou boundary, there is a high mountain called Jiufeng Mountain, not far from the mountain is the official road that must pass through the capital in the north. Can be ambushed in the Jiufeng Mountain under 2000 elite soldiers, there are many Central Plains war fled into the mountains to avoid trouble, no one can think of doing things here is what I did in Nanshan. Li Mi pointed to a large mountain marked in the northwest on the map.
"Good! The master will do it here. Tonight, 2,000 strong people will be selected to go down the mountain with a certain person, and secretly sneak into Jiufeng Mountain to wait and move. Juden slapped his thigh and exclaimed, his eyes were already full of dazzling jewels.
"No, Gongzi can't do it alone, there is a certain mountain guarding here, and your father and son must go together, which is the most appropriate. The opponent's 2,000 guards must be accompanied by a general with troops, and your father and son will lead the general away, and only then can one person rob money and rob people. If you rob Yang Guang's wife, it will be regarded as your father's revenge for killing your father. ”
"Good! As for Mr. Lao to guard the mountain, my father and son took this trip. Yang Xuangan was also awake most of the time at this time, and he was also extremely excited. His mind was already full of the graceful figure of Xiao, who he had seen in Luoyang, and he couldn't help but salivate at the corners of his mouth.
When night fell, a group of men and horses, all cavalry, rushed out of the Nanshan bandit village, and they were hurrying towards the north under the cover of night.
At the same time, Liang Wang Xiao Yue and his entourage, who were resting in the official inn in Nanshan Town, did not know that the danger was approaching step by step.
The person in charge of the accompanying escort on this trip is Xiao Ling, the king of Ngee An, who is not more than 16 years old, but he is alert and very steady. Just after his father Xiao Yue and Queen Zhang, his uncle Dongping Wang Xiao Qi and his sister Xiao Meiniang all fell asleep, they were still in the guard tent and the general Xu Xiaojing and the deputy general Ma Wu who accompanied the escort to discuss tomorrow's itinerary.
"General Xu, I will pass through Nanshan tomorrow, I have a lot of property in the car, I must have already discovered the sound horse of Nanshan Mountain. I'm going to have to fight him tomorrow. Xiao Jue said.
After the fiasco in the Central Plains War, he led the rest of the troops to flee up the mountain to survive, and his subordinates fled a lot, and their strength was greatly reduced. Bai Ri asked the people in the town and said that he was still a duty on the mountain, and rarely went down the mountain to rob. I'm afraid that I don't want to attract the attention of the Nanyang government, and I don't dare to do evil! Xu Xiaojing, the leading general, said.
"Hmmm! Even so, we should be careful. Tomorrow, General Xu can bring 1,000 men and horses as the front team, and the little nephew will bring 500 people to escort the Chinese army's chariots, and General Ma will take 500 people to follow. Xiao Jue arranged.
"Hmmm! It's up to Childe. Xu and Ma said.
On the second day, it was just dawn. Xiao Yue urged the chariot and military horses to get up, and the group entered the Nanshan realm at close to noon. General Xu Xiaojing, who was in front of the road, reminded his 1,000 cavalry to stay on alert, and he took the lead with a gun.
Just as he was moving forward with a high concentration of energy, suddenly there was a sound of horses' hooves ahead. Xu Xiaojing hurriedly restrained the horse and ordered the men and horses to stop. He knew that this must be something to be reported by the little school he had sent to explore the way.
"General, there is a scribe who calls himself Li Mi in the mountain pavilion on the side of the road in front of him, with more than ten mountain bandits, waiting for the arrival of the prince." Pathfinder Colonel reported on the horse.
"Can he carry weapons? Is there an ambush around? Xu Xiaojing asked.
"Returning to the general, more than ten minions only carry protective swords, and Li Mi only has a folding fan in his hand. The little one carefully inspected the surrounding hills, and there was not a single soldier in ambush. ”
"Good! Let's go to the Chinese army to inform the son, our army continued to move forward, and lined up at the mountain pavilion to wait for the prince to come. Xu Xiaojing waved his hand after speaking, and led the front army to continue moving forward.
Xiao Yue, the king of Liang, and Xiao Ling, the son of Liang, who got the news, rushed up from behind with a longitudinal horse, and soon went hand in hand with Xu Xiaojing and his party.
Soon, the roadside mountain pavilion appeared in the eyes of the three of them, and Li Mi, the scribe who was standing and waiting with a fan outside the mountain pavilion, could also see it clearly, as the little colonel said, together with the minions who were scattered behind him to stand and guard, there were only 13 people.
Seeing that the three of King Liang were approaching, Li Mi hurriedly walked a few steps forward and bowed, and said in his mouth: "Li Mi, the husband of the mountain village, is here to wait for King Liang, and ask the prince to dismount and go to the pavilion to talk about it." ”
Xiao Yue has long known Li Mi's name, and he can be regarded as a young celebrity in the Great Sui Dynasty. Today, I saw him dressed in a green coat and a green hat, holding a landscape folding fan, gentle but not rude, I had a good impression of him, and saw him invite him to talk, so he dismounted with Xiao Ling and Xu Xiaojing, and followed Li Mi into the mountain pavilion. Herbal tea is already available here, and a tea boy is waiting for you. Li Mi asked Liang Wang Xiao Yue to sit down opposite the tea case, and Xiao Ling and Xu Xiaojing stood behind Liang Wang to accompany him without saying a word.
"Xuan Sui Gong, what do you want to see this king today?" Xiao Yue politely asked Li Mi in Tsing Yi opposite.
"Xiao Sheng knows that the prince is going to the capital to meet the new emperor of my dynasty on this trip, and Xiao Sheng has the courage to stop the honorable driver here to ask for something, and please don't shirk the prince." Li Mi said it was another salute.
"Oh? I don't know what Xuan Sui Gong has to ask for something, but it doesn't hurt to say it. ”
"Xiaosheng thanked the prince first! The prince also knew that I, Li Mi, had been coerced by Wang Shichong and other anti-kings before, and I rebelled against the Great Sui without knowing it, and fought against the king of Jin, Chitose. Now fortunately not dead, fleeing in this mountain for a long time, now fortunate to see the prince here, so he dared to ask the prince to bring a letter of repentance to His Majesty for Xiaosheng, and said that Xiaosheng knew that he was wrong, and he was willing to return to a good citizen of my dynasty, and asked His Majesty to forgive Xiaosheng's sins, and that's it. After speaking, Li Mi took out a letter from his arms and held it to Xiao Yue with both hands. It turned out that after the First Battle of the Central Plains, Li Mi had already seen the situation clearly, and when he learned that King Liang passed through the mountain, he took advantage of the situation to support Yang Xuangan's father and son, and went down the mountain to visit Xiao Yue in person, wanting Xiao Yue to hand over his letter of repentance to Yang Guang, in order to obtain Yang Guang's pardon.
Xiao Yue hurriedly took it and said, "Hehe! What should I do, for this reason? This is a trivial matter, Xuan Sui Gong can hand over the letter to this king, this king is free to say good things for you in front of His Majesty, that is, the Sui Emperor's wedding will inevitably amnesty the guilty people in the world again, whether it can be forgiven depends on your creation. "This Liang Wang Xiao Yue was originally a famous Confucian scribe in the Great Sui, and he wrote a lot of books, and he had no ill feelings towards Li Mi, who was a junior and a talented learner, but had some sympathy, so he readily accepted it.
"That being the case, Xiaosheng is grateful, I dare not delay the ride for too long, and ask the prince to drink this cup of tea in the mountains before the Ming Dynasty, Xiaosheng sent the prince over the mountain, please~"
"Please!" The two of them raised their teacups together, took a sip from each of them, put down the teacups and got up.
There is Nanshan Li Mi to send him off in person, which means that Nanshan, which was originally in a dangerous place, passed by calmly. This made Xiao Ling, who was originally apprehensive, feel at ease.
After coming to Nanshan, I went forward for another 3 hours, and it was getting late. I had to rest again in the town ahead, and wait for tomorrow to continue my journey.
After nightfall, Xiao Ling still came to the guard tent to discuss with Xu Xiaojing and Ma Wu.
"Huh! Childe, I didn't expect that Nanshan would live so smoothly today, it turned out that Li Mi and others had already intended to recruit peace. If you go to Shangluo and Hongnong, there will be no more rogues. The young general Ma Wu said jokingly.
"Yes! Childe, as far as I know, the next 50 miles out of the border of my Liang country, the mountain bandits in the Great Sui Territory were either exterminated, or recruited into the official army, and the Sui Territory was safer than my Liang Kingdom. I heard the shopkeeper of the inn here say that there is no grass in front of him, and he can reach Hongnong all the way. After Hongnong, it entered the territory of Huayin, and it was not far from the capital. ”
"Hmmm! That being said, caution should be taken at the forefront. Tomorrow, General Ma will lead the 500th Army in front of the road first, and Ben Gongzi and General Xu will accompany the Chinese army chariots. ”
"Yes, the last will obey." Ma Wu replied with a relaxed face.
Nothing to say for one night, and then again the next day.
As he spoke, it was late afternoon. When everyone saw the national border landmark on the side of the official road, they knew that the convoy seemed to have entered the Great Sui Territory, and everyone's mood became more relaxed. I just feel that the mountains in this Great Sui are taller and the mountains and forests are denser. Seeing this, Xiao Ling couldn't help but be vigilant again.
"General Ma, the mountains on both sides of the official road are a little sinister, and there are almost no pedestrians coming and going, so you have to guard against it!"
"Childe, the last general has already found out clearly, the peak in front of it is Jiufeng Mountain, this mountain is also quite famous, there are many Taoist temples in the mountain, the most hermits of cultivation, and the reputation is not weaker than that of Zhongnan Mountain, which contains immortals. Although the mountain is a little treacherous, it is okay, and it will be clear when the last general goes to open the way. After speaking, Ma Wu kicked the reins of the horse, and then rode out with the 500 guards around him.
Seeing that Ma Wu had led people far away, Xiao Ling turned around and shouted to the chariot behind him: "Quick, the rear team will follow." ”
"General, at the fork in the road, one side of the road is blocked by a tree trunk, and only the right side is passable." A colonel who was exploring the way in front returned to Ma Ma and reported to Ma Wu.
Ma Wu immediately felt bad when he heard this, and hurriedly urged him to come forward to check.
Sure enough, at a three-way intersection, the official road leading to the capital side was full of tree trunks and branches with verdant leaves, and it was obvious that it could not be passed. On the other side of the road, however, it leads elsewhere, but there is nothing unusual.
"Let me ask you, have you ever explored that side of the road?" Ma Wu asked the Pathfinder Colonel beside him.
"General, the road on that side is not leading to the capital, and the small one didn't go to explore, but when he saw that this side was blocked, he reported it to the general." The little colonel replied, it's normal, and no one will explore the road that is not taken.
"This road to the capital looks like a flat river, and it is also undetectable, but it is artificially blocked by a tree trunk, which shows that there are ambushes here. That side of the road leads to the Jiufeng Mountain, the forest is thick, and the ambush soldiers will lie in this side of the mountain, but you don't go in to find out the details. Ma Wu said to the Pathfinder Colonel with some reproach.
"Quick, go and a few people to clear the barricades, and the rest of the people are on guard." Ma Wu ordered. Behind him, more than a dozen military colonels were about to dismount to clear the roadblocks, when they heard an arrow from the mountain forest on the other side, followed by a dense group of cavalry on the mountain road.
I saw that this group of men and horses was in an untidy line, with mixed clothes and mixed weapons, and it was obvious that a group of bandits had rushed out of the mountains to plunder. The first two masked men, each armed with knives and guns, led the bandits behind them to rush towards Ma Wu's side with shouts.
"Array, prepare to meet the enemy." Ma Wu hurriedly ordered, and the 500 horsemen behind him quickly lined up neatly after listening to the order, each raising their guns, ready to fight.
Seeing that the small group of officers and soldiers was prepared, the bandits who rushed forward stopped a hundred paces away.
A general rushed out and shouted at Ma Wu: "Come and dare to fight with so-and-so, if you win so-and-so, so-and-so will let you go." If you can't win, you will leave the chariot behind you and spare your life to go back. ”
"Humph! I am the general of Liang State, how dare I not fight with you and other grass cowards. Although the other party was far more numerous than himself, the young and vigorous Ma Wu didn't take the sudden appearance of the grass bandit in his eyes at all, and he didn't even bother to ask the other party's name, so he rushed to the leader of the rogue with a gun in his hand.
This masked general is Zhu Deng, and the masked general with a knife behind him is Yang Xuangan. The two of them were already preparing here, and they were about to intercept and kill King Liang and his party.
Seeing that Liang General was coming to fight with a gun, Zhu Deng did not panic, and raised his iron gun to greet him. The little colonel in Ma Wu's team took the opportunity to go back to Ma to inform King Liang and the others not far from the rear team.
At this time, the two generals who were fighting were already entangled in one place, and the two guns, the guns and guns had fought for more than ten rounds, and it was difficult to distinguish victory and defeat. Yang Xuan, who was watching the battle, felt that the two had not seen each other win or lose for a long time, and couldn't help but be a little anxious. Ma Wu was shocked when he saw it, he was already struggling to fight the hero in front of him alone, but the opponent rushed out of the formation and fought himself, how could he be the enemy. Ma Wu was in a panic for a while, and he was about to return to the horse, and the gun in his hand made a little messy, and he lost the other. As soon as he pulled away the knife of the bandit general, he could no longer dodge the gun that made the bandit stab in, and only one shot stabbed Ma Wu in the throat, and Ma Wu suddenly fell off the horse in anger.
The 500 military academies that followed Ma Wu saw that the main general was dead, and they immediately panicked, and had no intention of fighting again, so they turned back and ran to the rear army. At this time, they happened to collide with Xu Xiaojing and Xiao Ling's men and horses, who were leading the army behind, so that the 2,000 cavalry guarded by King Liang were intertwined in one place, and it became chaotic. The cavalry of Yang Xuangan, who followed him, was originally different from the ordinary rogues, and its division of labor such as impact, encirclement, and volleying was orderly, and it soon surrounded the 2,000 Liang troops with a comparable number in the center.
As some of the generals of the Liang Wang family were hit by arrows from time to time, the scene of people neighing became more and more chaotic.
