Chapter 67: The Good Bow
Hu Sichun's method is actually not clever, but he Hu Si Fashou is bold, thick-skinned, black-hearted, and can do anything, so the effect is naturally extraordinary.
First of all, Hou Jing wanted to go straight to the west along the line of Heyin, Xin'an, and Mianchi, and just had to pass through the defense area under the jurisdiction of the Metropolitan Governor of the north of Husi Chun and Gyeonggi, but he was repeatedly obstructed, and it was almost impossible to move an inch.
Hou Jing went to find Hu Sichun theory, but Hu Sichun used the excuse to avoid it. This lawsuit hit the Taiji Hall again, although there were Yang Su and Sun Teng who argued with each other, and the Son of Heaven Yuan Xiu also reprimanded Hu Sichun in the end, after all, it had been delayed for four or five days.
Again, Hou Jing finally passed the Dadu Supervision and Defense Area in the north, and a bunch of villagers came out of nowhere, making a big noise, saying that the Yuzhou army had trampled on the He Miao Yunyun who was waiting for him. Since Hou Jing descended, who in the Yuzhou army was not arrogant? In this world, I really haven't seen such villagers who are not afraid of death. Since you are looking for death, I am not ambiguous, so I chopped melons and vegetables and killed more than a dozen people on the spot.
This can be regarded as stabbing the hornet's nest--- and Jiang Jin, the regular attendant of the scattered cavalry, took the lead, and more than 200 old and young men came dressed in white, crying and shouting to the heavens and the earth, and angrily denounced the lawlessness of the Yuzhou army. There was a person who was in a hurry, so he simply lay down in front of Hou Jingjun and shouted righteously: "It's a big deal to step on me in the past, today I will become benevolent and righteous, and I will never live up to my master's teachings!" ”
Hou Jing's henchman and the vanguard governor of the king could not enter, so he was furious, but he personally urged the horses, and waited to trample the scholar on the ground into a pile of pulp. Hou Jing came to the mouth in person, stopped Wang Xiangui, and reprimanded: "You bastard, is this going to repeat the story of Heyin?" King Gao is not the Erzhu clan! He ordered the whole army to cease and camp on the spot.
Wang Xiangui felt aggrieved and drank sullen wine in the tent. At this time, Hou Jing came again, patted Wang Xiangui on the shoulder and said, "Honorable, this Ganshi doesn't dare to kill at will." King Gao's ambition is in the world, and his reputation is ruined, so he has to take your head to block the mouths of the people. ”
Wang Xiangui was startled, and said, "Thank you for saving your life!" It's just that... What's next? ”
"Easy to do!" Hou Jing sneered, and then explained a few words in Wang Xiangui's ear. Wang Xiangui was overjoyed: "Medium! ”
In the middle of the night that night, there was a gust of south wind blowing in the sky, and more than 200 scholars gathered together, just because they successfully suppressed the arrogance of the Yuzhou army today, everyone was quite excited, and they were not sleepy at the moment, and they were inviting the moon to talk. Suddenly, for some reason, several fires broke out in the south, and the fires swept straight to the place where the scholars were. In the blink of an eye, the soldiers all lost their usual grace, and in the shouting of wah, they all hugged their heads and fled to the open space in the north.
In fact, the fire is not big, and the distance is still far away, and in the end, half of the scholars did not burn, but the cadres were panicked and scattered, and they broke their feet and sprained their waists in the night. . . There are not a few.
It was miserable and miserable until dawn, Jiang Jin puffed up and led people to break into Hou Jing's camp to take a look, only to find that it was already an empty camp, and the Yuzhou army had already taken advantage of the night to escape to the south.
Rao is like this, and the Yuzhou army is also sluggish a lot, plus some detours, which will take another two or three days.
As for the peach forest, counting the front and back together, will it be seven or eight days slower than the expected trip?
。。。。。。
On May 25, Hou Jing led his troops to the foot of Tongguan, and when he raised his eyes, he saw Tongguan up and down, with 100,000 flags.
Hou Jing was taken aback, and Wang Xiangui's face was even more pale: "It's not good!" Guanzhong has been prepared! ”
Suddenly I heard a drum sound, as fast as a storm, and then the door was closed and opened, and a column and a wave of armor soldiers rushed out.
After a short time, countless iron cavalry arrays were already seen outside the gate, and the already small hill in front of the gate was crowded. From left to right, Yongzhou, Huazhou, Qizhou, Xiazhou... Flags of all colors fluttered. Pei Guo Qingyi covered his armor, rode a yellow horse and stood in the front, raised his hand, Tongguan went up and down the mountain to shout mighty, shaking the four fields.
"The people of Guanzhong Prefecture, I'm afraid they haven't all arrived here... Wang Xiangui's face turned pale, and he became more and more flustered.
Hou Jing is much better, and he still has the time to squint his eyes at this moment, and he can't help but look up and down. Suddenly, he opened his eyes and grinned, "Oops! Isn't this Pei Hou? The two of us... Well, let me calculate, since the time of Huaishuo, can you have an old friendship of more than ten years? ”
Pei Guo said coldly: "Then dare to ask this Hou Jungong, who has been friends with me for more than ten years, why did he come to Tongguan this time?" ”
Hou Jing's face suddenly straightened, and he raised his two hands into the air, hugged his fist obliquely, and said: "I don't dare to hide from Pei Hou, it is really the court that shocked the court to hear that He Ba Daxingtai was in trouble, and there was chaos in Guanzhong, so Hou Jing was specially ordered to go to Chang'an and appease him." ”
"I don't have to worry about this matter. Zhao Zhao has a division, each performing its own duties, although He Ba Daxingtai went, how could Guanzhong have been in chaos? Pei Guo smiled faintly and said, "I'm worried that Hou Jungong is coming this time, but he will scare the people of Guanzhong." ”
"It's okay to pass the middle, that's naturally the best." Hou Jing's face seemed to show some embarrassment: "It's just... Where is Hou Jing's responsibility, how dare he slacken? Otherwise... Pei Hou is good, get out of the way, Hou Jing is okay to go to Chang'an? ”
"Not good!" Pei Guo's eyes were sharp, and his voice was also high: "Why don't Hou Jungong tell the truth about my old friendship for more than ten years, is your so-called duty to serve the court, or from the high king of your family?" After saying this, he lightly lifted the reins of his horse and rushed out three steps. Behind him, the soldiers and horses in Guanzhong immediately shouted, and followed three steps forward.
Wang Xiangui was startled, he couldn't help but pull the horse and wanted to retreat, but when he looked up, he saw that Hou Jing on the side did not move at all, so his face was red and his ears were red, and he let go of the reins in his hand.
Hou Jing's voice suddenly became cold: "Since King Gao is the prime minister and supervises all Chinese and foreign military forces, what is the difference between him and the imperial court?" ”
"That being the case... Pei Guo exhaled and said: "Hou Jungong has the duties of Hou Jungong, but Pei Guo also has this horse lance in his hand, come and come!" If Hou Jungong wants to enter this level, he might as well give it a try! Between his legs, the yellow horse shot an arrow, and ran out seven or eight steps in the blink of an eye, and he didn't stop for a minute. Behind him, the Guanzhong army snorted and ho, and then also advanced forward.
Seeing that the two armies were about to collide together, the heart of the king was hanging to his throat...
At this moment, Hou Jing suddenly changed into a smile and shouted: "Pei Hou live!" Since Guanzhong is unhindered, how about Hou Jing leaving? Hahaha, it's said that it's an old friendship for more than ten years, why bother hurting your feelings? ”
Pei Guo didn't answer, Huang Qian Ma was still moving, Hou Jing finally changed color, barely maintaining the smile on his face, but it was really better than crying and couldn't see where to go: "Pei Hou is angry!" Hou Jing is just an arrow in someone's hand, and if it is shot, what can I do? ”
In the sound of boo, Huang Xiaoma slowed down slightly, and Pei Guo waved his lance and pointed obliquely: "In a stick of incense, I don't want to see the face of Hou Jungong again!" ”
With the sound of footsteps, the Yuzhou army couldn't stop retreating. The sun is about to set, and there is finally no longer a single soldier of the Yuzhou army on the hill.
Helenda and Wang Xiong approached, and Helenda said in a deep voice: "Xiaokuan really wants to let him go?" ”
Pei Guo nodded: "This Kanto soldier vest is sharp, I see it in my eyes, and I am also frightened." You see, although he and the others are not chaotic, the formation is like that, and Hou Cripple himself is even more stubborn at the end of the formation... Our army is weak and cannot be ventured. ”
Helianda nodded with Wang Xiong: "Reasonable." ”
It turns out that up and down this Tongguan, the 100,000 flags are really just decorations, and at this moment, there are actually very few guards in the building. Wang Xiangui saw in his eyes that the so-called Guanzhong army of all roads had already done everything in Tongguan--- the main force of the Qizhou army had already been led to Erxia Prefecture by Yuwentai, and Wang Xiong brought it this time, but only 2,000 men; Not only Chang'an City, but also Yong and Hua Prefectures need to divide troops to defend them, and Ko Luo also has to guard against Hou Mo Chen Yue from attacking from the west at any time, so the soldiers and horses that Helenda can pull, even if the original garrison in Tongguan is added, the total is less than 5,000.
On the other hand, Hou Jing's department, Wuwu is pressing, and he can't see the end at a glance, and he will be twice as much as his own army, not to mention it. If it is a real battle, it is not known who will kill the deer.
。。。。。。
The peach forest is deep, the trees are lush, and birds can be heard singing from time to time.
The Yuzhou army retreated all the way to this place, and Wang Xiangui was worried: "Envoy, this time you can't enter the pass, turn back... Will the high king be to blame? ”
"If Guanzhong is really empty, I will naturally give it a long time." Hou Jing sneered: "But you have also seen it, not to mention the dangerous terrain of Tongguan, the defenders are also majestic, which is really solid." I, Hou Jing, am alone here, and I can't catch it, so what can I do? ”
Wang Xiangui thought for a while, and then said: "Or we will temporarily retreat and hide in the valley." After a while, the people in Guanzhong are slacking off, how about I wait for another sneak attack at night? ”
Hou Jing smiled faintly and didn't speak, but slowly pulled out a pair of bows and arrows from the saddle, pointed obliquely at the height, and pulled it into a full moon.
With a "whew", the feather arrow rushed into the sky and disappeared into a tall forest. I listened to the sound of "chirping" birds, and a cluster of birds fluttered their wings, and soon passed away from the sky, never to be seen again. So the birds in the peach forest were exhausted, and they didn't hear the cry for a while.
After Hou Jing shot this arrow, he still didn't speak, and when he raised his right hand, he actually threw the good bow in his hand far away, and he didn't know where he fell into the forest, how could he still find it?
Wang Xiangui was dumbfounded, and after a while, he remembered that when he was about to ask Hou Jing why he threw away the good bow, he found that Hou Jing had already run away, and he didn't turn back to the east...
