Yanyun City County Guard

The county guard Zhao Tuo took Li Duwei and Wang Zhi to stand at the door and bent slightly, respectfully greeting a person, this person was Lin Mu sent by the third prince Zhao Wu not long ago.

After everyone entered the house, Zhao Tuo hurriedly asked people to serve tea and invited Lin Mu to sit down, but Lin Mu still stood straight, looked at the people in front of him expressionlessly, and snorted coldly: "Your Highness sent me here this time, you should know what happened, right?" ”

For Lin Mu, they all know each other, and know that this person is the bodyguard of the three princes, with strong martial arts, and is very valued by the three princes, several people looked at each other after hearing him say this, and Wang Zhi replied with a smile and flattery: "Commander Lin, for the fact that we did not send the defenders of Yanyun City before, it was really not our deliberate doing, you said that it was the emperor's will, even if we have ten heads, we dare not openly resist the will and disrespect ah, it is really that there are many thieves near Yanyun City recently, and they want to attack the city. We are also doing this for the sake of Yanyun City's safety, really not..."

Lin Mu didn't bother to listen to these nonsense, he directly pulled out the sword in his hand, pointed the tip of the sword directly at Wang Zhi, and said coldly: "Say another half a word of nonsense, and immediately make your head different, I came here to ask for the answer, not to listen to you make up reasons, think clearly."

Wang Zhen looked at the sharp sword close to his neck, he was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat, and said in a trembling voice: "Commander Lin, the sword has no eyes, this is not a joke."

Zhao Tuo also hurriedly said: "Commander Lin, please also collect the sword, we do this because we have some personal hatred, but in general, it is for the safety of Yanyun City, just imagine, if Yanyun City sends 30,000 defenders, only 5,000 are left to defend the city, once someone takes advantage of the situation to attack the city, what will we use to defend?" Moreover, the princess of Yan Kingdom and the four highnesses designed to execute several of our sons and nephews, and this revenge must not be avenged, and even let us send troops to support him Yan Kingdom? How can we do that? Neither public nor private can send troops to support him."

"It's a high-sounding thing," Lin Mu withdrew his sword, "Do you know the consequences of your assertion at this time?" If you don't want to live, forget it, you actually hurt Your Highness."

"This matter was done by a few of us, and it has nothing to do with the Third Highness, and His Royal Highness doesn't know about it, if the emperor blames it, we will definitely report it to the emperor like this, not to mention that there are indeed many thieves around this Yanyun City, it is not that we are wantonly fabricating, we are waiting for this move to protect Yanyun City, I think the emperor will understand what we have done if he knows it."

"Really? Do you know that the emperor has already planned to send someone to take you down and escort them back to Zhao Capital to behead the public? If it weren't for His Royal Highness, in order to protect you, he entered the palace to ask for a meeting to intercede for you, and now you are probably already a ghost."

A few people just heard Lin Mu say that Emperor Zhao was going to behead them, first they were frightened, and then after hearing the Third Highness intercede for them, they all breathed a sigh of relief, and they all flattered: "The Third Highness is so kind to me that it is unforgettable."

In fact, several of them knew very well that the crime of disobeying the will was serious, but they were very resentful in their hearts, and asked them to send troops to rescue the country that killed their son's enemy, they were unwilling, so they came up with the reason of the safety of Yanyun City to delay the dispatch of troops, Zhao Tuo even thought that if Emperor Zhao really wanted to order him to be arrested, then on the day of the arrival of the envoy, he would also send someone to pretend to be a thief to attack the city, wanting to use this to confuse the truth with falsehood, so that the people sent by Emperor Zhao would believe. And for the three princes, they had long thought that this would be the case, after all, everyone in the court knew that they were people who took refuge under the door of the three highnesses, and if something really happened, the three highnesses would try their best to protect them even for himself and intercede for them.

Lin Mu looked at the few of them with some disgust, and still said coldly: "Don't think that Your Highness doesn't know what you are thinking in your hearts, Your Highness asked me to tell you to wait, forget it this time, if there is a next time, Your Highness will let me kill you with my own hands."

After Lin Mu finished speaking, he turned around and walked towards the door, Zhao Tuo and several people hurriedly followed him off, a guard beside the third prince could make a city and county guard send him off so politely, Zhao Kuo, as the fourth prince of Zhao State, had not been treated like this by him before, which shows how important power is.

Walking outside the door, Lin Mu turned to a few people again: "Your Highness has persuaded the emperor to give up the matter of sending the defenders of Yanyun City to Yan to support, you wait to protect Yanyun City, don't make any claims in the future, otherwise the next time you and I meet again, it will be the death period you are waiting for."

After dropping this sentence, Lin Mu flew directly to the wall with a jump, and then disappeared, if Zhao Kuo was present at this time, he would definitely exclaim:, light work, fly away directly, awesome!

After Lin Mu left, Zhao Tuo and the others looked at each other, Wang Zhi wiped the cold sweat on his forehead, and they all breathed a deep sigh of relief, this matter was finally over. Blatantly resisting the decree, which was originally an unforgivable felony, passed in an understatement.

——————————————————————————

In the territory of Yan State, 20,000 soldiers from Zhao State who came to support were marching towards Huguan in a long line, Lian Feng rode on a horse and patrolled back and forth, and Wu Heng led several lieutenants to follow him.

Suddenly, a scout in front of the army came on a fast horse and reported to Lian Feng: "General, a few miles ahead, there is a team of Yan troops being chased and killed, because the enemies are all dressed in black, I don't know if they are Huns, I have come to ask the front army if they are rescued?" ”

Lian Feng immediately ordered: "Order the front army to catch up quickly and rescue the Yan army, and the rear army of the Chinese army will be vigilant and march forward in formation."

Immediately, the heralds ran around to deliver orders.

"Follow me," Lian Feng said to Wu Heng and rode forward.

Lian Feng took Wu Heng and others to the front of the troops, only to see that the front army had come from nowhere many black-clothed people fighting together, Lian Feng held the spear in his hand pointed forward, shouted: "Kill", and took the lead in riding his horse and rushed over, followed by Wu Heng and others, and killed the enemy together.

This group of black-clothed people was numerous, at least a thousand people, and the Yan army that was chased and killed suffered heavy casualties, if it weren't for the Zhao army led by Lian Feng to come to the rescue, the whole army would have been wiped out.

Lian Feng rode a horse through the enemy crowd, rushing bravely to kill, originally wanted to lead people to rush to the rear of the enemy and surround the enemy on all sides, but the group of men in black seemed to know his thoughts, and did not disperse the formation directly as he wished. Lian Feng could only give up and continue to fight hard. This group of black-clothed people is well-trained, all of them are extraordinary, fortunately, the Zhao army has a large number, and gradually this group of black-clothed people showed an irresistible trend, and began to retreat and flee, Lian Feng led the team to pursue a certain distance and then ordered to stop the pursuit, and ordered people to start cleaning up the battlefield.

Lian Feng got off the horse, and used the head of his gun to randomly pick open the masked black cloth of several black-clothed people who were lying on the ground and had died, looking at their faces, they were not Huns. He found out, whether it was the group of black-clothed people just now or the black-clothed people who were cut off after their retreat in Tianmang Mountain before, they would not be some bandits and bandits, they were agile and retreated in an orderly manner, and they had been trained for a long time at a glance, either the soldiers of any country, or private training private soldiers, but who could have such great ability to support so many private soldiers? In the territory of Yan State, there are so many enemies to chase and kill the Yan army, it seems that the current situation of Yan State is still not optimistic. In addition to the Xiongnu, which other country is also attacking the Yan Kingdom? Qi country? Or the Wei State? All kinds of doubts can't be solved in Lian Feng's heart.

At this time, Wu Heng came to him and said: "General, the casualties have been counted, in the battle just now, more than 1,200 people of our army died, and more than 600 people were injured, and the Yan army reported a total of 300 people, and now there are less than 100 people alive."

"What about the men in black? How many people died? ”

"After counting the dead black-clothed people on the ground, the casualties are less than eight hundred", after saying this, Wu Heng's voice became significantly lighter, and his face was full of shame, Yan Jun didn't say anything, more than 6,000 people in the front army of Zhao fought with more than 1,000 black-clothed people, and as a result, he suffered nearly 2,000 casualties, and he had not completely destroyed the enemy, only killed less than 800 enemies, which had never been done in the Black Flag Army except for the time when Tianmang Mountain was removed.

Lian Feng's face did not fluctuate after hearing this, as if he had expected half of it, and said lightly: "It seems that when you get to the place, you have to take time out to train this army, my country has rarely fought in recent years, and the garrisons in various places have been lazy and neglected to train, and now it is really a battle..."

"Dare to ask if it's General Lian Feng?"

A Yan army general came over and asked.

Lian Feng nodded at him: "I am, where are you the garrison of Yan Kingdom?" How could they be chased and killed by that group of men in black? ”

The general of the Yan army clasped his fists at Lian Feng and saluted: "General Lian Feng, the last general is the deputy general under General Le Yi, this time it is on the order of the general to come to meet you, on the way to the march, the man in black who came from nowhere began to rush to kill our army, I led the crowd to resist, so I can only run all the way, fortunately I met you here, otherwise we will be in danger"

"No need to be polite, our army will arrive at Huguan in a few days, and General Le Yi still sent you here at this time, is there an order to convey it?"

"Indeed, the general asked me to come and inform the general that in recent days, the Xiongnu's offensive on Huguan has gradually decreased, worried that the Huns are trying to change the target of attack, the general studied the map and found that if the Huns want to continue to invade our Yan country, Huguan is indeed their only offensive route without stepping into the territory of Wei, but in case they can pass through the Wei border, then the Tianshan City in the northwest corner of our country will become their target, after capturing Tianshan City, you can also march all the way to Yandu, Therefore, in order to be precautionary, the general specially asked the last general to come and guide General Lian Feng to lead the troops to Tianshan City to station and defend, in case of accidents, this is the general's token, and the last general will be handed over to you, and then the two thousand soldiers of Tianshan City will obey the general's orders."

Lian Feng frowned after hearing this, pondered for a moment and asked, "Emperor Yan previously ordered that the general lead his troops to Huguan to support, but this time he turned to another place, does Emperor Yan know?" ”

"My emperor knows, and orders the distribution of troops and other matters to be decided by the general himself, this is the holy decree of Emperor Yan to the general, and please take a look at it"

Lian Feng spread out his eyes, and then nodded: "In this way, General Lao will lead the way, and our army will immediately set off for Tianshan City."
