Chapter 36: Breaking the Barrier
"Dehe! Deher! Good news, good news! Early in the morning, Yelu Juehe rushed into the tent and woke him up.
Yerodh straightened up with sleepy eyes and said, "What good news? ”
"Zhao Jian sent a secret report, saying that he had notified the general guarding the Yumen Pass, and it happened to be his turn to guard the pass at night five days later, and he would open the gate for us and let us in!"
After reading the letter, Yerodh made a plan in his heart, and immediately said: "Has the person who delivered the letter gone?" ”
"Not yet, his horse can't run, I'll let him change to a horse in the barracks."
Yeludehe hurriedly got up and put on a coat, and he didn't even have time to put on his shoes, so he snatched Yelujue and the letter in his hand, rushed out of the big tent, and went straight to the barracks.
When Jerodh found the messenger, and the man was about to turn over and leave on his horse, Yerodh hurried over and took hold of the horse's head, handed the letter to the man, and said, "Give this letter to the person outside the Yuqi Pass, complete the Yan Wushu, ride a good horse, and get there in one day." ”
Yerodh himself chose a good horse for the man, and when he saw the man depart, he settled down and went into the tent, and Yelu Juehe followed him.
"What are you?" Yelu Juehe asked.
"Wait, in a few days, there will be a military order to complete the Yan Wushu, let us attack the city." Jerodh got dressed again.
Seeing that Yelu Juehe was still puzzled, Yelu Dehe explained with a smile: "The reason why Wanyan Wushu has not been waiting for the city is this opportunity, he will not easily attack the city if he can't receive the news of the generals guarding the pass, that kid looks the same as his father." This letter is useless in our hands, if we attack the city directly and the jade gate is closed, then Wanyan Wushu must know that we lied to him, but if we attack the city with him, and the jade gate is not switched, then Zhao Jian also deceived him, understand? ”
Yelu Juehe nodded with a smile and said, "Then we have to play the show well." ”
"That's right, the reason why I let the messenger get there within a day is so that we can attack the city in advance, so that everyone has lost soldiers and horses, and we won't be able to break through the barrier."
"Then how should I answer if I finish asking the Yan Wushu?"
"Lai past, he won't admit it, he doesn't dare to do anything without evidence, don't forget, his father said that if there is anything that makes the stumbling block black hand after breaking the pass, the North Barbarians will attack it." Yerodh looked indifferent.
"Then the Yan Wushu is destined to suffer this dumb loss?" Yelu Juehe asked first, and then sighed slightly, "Alas, I knew that Gusu City should have let you go before, it would be better." ”
"It's all the same, you're my brother." Jerodh replied with a smile.
Three days later, Yelu Juehe received a letter from Wanyan Wushu, informing him that from now on, all departments could attack the city on their own.
Yelu Dehe said: "Tomorrow I will order to break the pass, but I don't know how many strong men will die under the Yumen Pass to make Wanyan Wushu believe that we have not lied to him." ”
"Thirty thousand?" Jerujue asked tentatively.
"Almost, then give Cui Zheng 30,000 heads as a military merit, and after breaking the pass, I will take Cui Zheng's head to worship my Northern Barbarian soldiers!" Jerodh nodded.
After the death of the emperor, Lu Ji thought about taking the opportunity to escape back to the capital, because in Lu Ji's opinion, Cui Zheng would definitely return to the capital and then he would have a chance, but he never thought that Cui Zheng did not go back, but directly imprisoned Lu Ji, so as to make Lu Yu have a mustard in his heart.
If Lu Yu really dares to do something rebellious and wants to be the emperor, how long can you do it? Didn't even have any heirs to compete for the throne?
Lu Ji waited for a second chance, that is, the Northern Barbarians wanted to attack Yumen Pass, Cui Zheng, as the general of the border pass, would definitely go to Yumen Pass to guard the pass in person, but Lu Ji was disappointed, Cui Zheng just let his deputy general go to Yumen Pass, and he still stayed in Antelope City to watch Lu Ji, in Cui Zheng's opinion, as long as he watched Lu Ji, it was equivalent to watching Lu Yu.
No matter how much Lu Yu made trouble in the capital, at least he was guaranteed that he would not dare to be the emperor himself.
"This Cui Zheng looks at me so badly that I can't even send a letter." Lu Ji, who was imprisoned in the palace, said angrily.
"My lord, for the sake of today, I can only wait quietly to watch the times change." Lu Bo stepped forward to persuade.
"Humph! Sooner or later, I will return to the capital, until now I don't know what happened in the capital, only that the old emperor is dead. Lu Ji worried, "The reason why I wasn't in a hurry before was because my Lu family's intelligence was more terrifying than that of the Zhao family, but now that I'm locked up here, I don't know anything about what's going on outside, and this feeling makes me very uncomfortable." ”
"My lord, you might as well think about it, if something really happens to the lord in the capital, Cui Zheng will definitely make a move, he is now imprisoning you here, there is only one possibility, that is, the lord's power in the capital makes Cui Zheng feel afraid, so he must control you to be able to contain the lord."
After hearing this, Lu Ji felt that what Lu Bo said made sense, so he put his mind at ease, and made up his mind in his heart that he would escape from Antelope City as long as he had any chance, and as long as he could get to the capital, everything would be under his control again.
Early the next morning, Yelu Juehe led 100,000 soldiers and horses outside the Yumen Pass.
Yelu Juehe took a deep breath and looked back at the black cavalry and foot soldiers behind him, and shouted loudly: "Soldiers of the Northern Barbarians, the time has come for you to make meritorious contributions!" Now there is chaos in this level! The woman in the pass, the land, is now in front of you, you only need to break this pass, and everything in the pass is yours! ”
"Break the level! Beat the level! Beat the level! "100,000 soldiers shook the earth and the momentum was monstrous.
Yelu Juehe turned his horse's head to face the level, drew his sword, and shouted: "The good son of the grassland is full of guts! Come on! ”
Yelu Juehe specially made thousands of pairs of armor for this time to go south, which was much stronger than the armor of the grassland, but this time he did not take it out and use it, which was used by Yelu Dehe for his own clan soldiers when he was going to seize the land after capturing Antelope City.
The archers above the city frantically shot arrows to block the advance of the northern barbarians' fearless battering rams, but they were attacked by catapults, and the ten siege engines were guarded by thousands of soldiers with large shields.
The war lasted until the evening, and finally ended with the loss of tens of thousands of soldiers and horses by Yelu Juehe, during which several times the northern barbarian soldiers were about to set foot on the tower, but were desperately resisted by the guards of the gate.
You must know that the entire Yumen Pass garrison is less than 30,000, and Cui Zheng's 30,000 reinforcements will not arrive until tomorrow, because the city of Yumen Pass is high and strong, Cui Zheng at the beginning of the Yumen Pass, which originally had 50,000 soldiers and horses, transferred 30,000 soldiers and horses to defend the Beijing Division, once the Beijing Division has any accidents, he can immediately lead his troops to help the Beijing Division, but this has led to the lack of garrison at the Yumen Pass, fortunately the city gate was not broken by the Beiman, otherwise Cui Zheng really has only one way to die.
