Chapter 204: Bagua Array with Horns
The person who came said: "I am here to convey the order of His Royal Highness the King of Qi, and you follow Xue Rengui to be responsible for rescuing the hostages captured by the Tubo people."
His Royal Highness the King of Qi said, let you obey Xue Rengui's command. β
Zhang Guigui is a first-class viscount, a sixth-rank military attachΓ©, the son of the Duke of Guo, and Li You's brother, and Xue Rengui can't catch up with these identities.
Li You was worried that Xue Rengui would not be able to command them, so he sent someone to remind them.
The person who came also specially talked about Xue Rengui's assassination of the fake Murong Qian's ox fork.
Zhang Guigui still recognized Xue Rengui, and he said: "Okay, since Brother You said it, we will listen to Xue Rengui." β
They reorganized their men and horses, and followed the people to the direction of the Tibetan military camp outside the city.
Soon, they met Xue Rengui.
Zhang Guigui asked, "What about Your Highness?" β
Xue Rengui said: "He went to save Chen Pingdao. β
Zhang Guigui was anxious, he jumped up and said, "You all came out with you, and there are only a few White Tigers left by my Brother You's side." How does this work? I'm going to save him. β
Xue Rengui said: "Don't worry, you don't have to worry, he still has Mr. Hamid by his side, and there are many people under him." β
Zhang Guigui was a little relieved. He asked, "What do we do?" β
Xue Rengui said; "The Tibetans have captured our people, and there will be a battle in the city tonight, and they will definitely send troops to escort them to the barracks outside the city.
The Tubo people don't know that we have so many people lurking in Longde City, and the number of escorts they sent should not be too many, so let's ambush here, and when they arrive, just intercept them. β
Zhang Guigui agreed to his plan.
Next, Xue Rengui deployed the entire battle plan.
Xue Rengui is worthy of being a military genius, and the plan he arranged is very detailed, even how to retreat, he has two sets of plans, stipulating the personnel responsible for cover, and various countermeasures for action after accidents.
Zhang Guigui and others were very convinced.
General's Palace.
After dinner, Murong Qian received news that the Tubo people had moved, the troops had moved frequently, and the security near the military camp had also been strengthened.
The Tubo people captured a lot of Tang Dynasty merchants and robbed their belongings, and even some Tuyuhun people also suffered.
All this shows that the Tubo people have sensed Murong Qian's intentions, and they are going to act in advance.
Murong Qian also temporarily convened an emergency meeting and decided to act in advance and start before the hour.
Chen Ping was very depressed, he knew that once the fight started, when the army of Tang Dynasty and Murong Bo appeared, his identity would be exposed. Waiting for him and Gu Ling'er's fate, it must be miserable.
Murong Qian likes to kill people, and there are many tricks, such as eye-gouging and skin cramps, all of which are pediatrics.
His favorite thing is to strip the prisoners naked, tie them to a wooden rack, put them in a pool, and put a lot of hungry rats in them, so that the prisoners can watch themselves being eaten by the rats bit by bit.
Murong Qian now treats Chen Ping as a treasure, and takes him with him wherever he goes, and it is difficult for Chen Ping to get out of Murong Qian's sight.
Chen Ping is a cultivator, and he still has concentration, and he is ready to sacrifice his life for the country a long time ago. But when he saw Gu Linger, who was only 10 years old, he was still very sad.
He was anxious, but helpless.
At 10 p.m., the turnaround struck suddenly.
Gao Luolu sent a liaison officer, and he was accompanied by a skinny Persian.
At that time, the nobles and high-ranking officials, with foreign servants by their side, were a status symbol, and it was not noticeable that someone came to have a Persian entourage.
The liaison officer said to Murong Qian: "Khan, my general has sent troops to approach the Tibetan barracks, but he found that the Tibetans were on guard and put on a strange formation.
My general was a little incomprehensible, so he sent a minister to ask the khan for instructions. β
As he spoke, he asked his relatives around him to open a formation map.
Murong Qian looked at it, it was a bit like the Nine Palaces Bagua Array, but there was an extra horn on it, and he didn't know what it meant. β
He said: "Dao Chief, come and see, what kind of formation is this?" β
Chen Ping knew that Gao Luolu was his own people, and he also knew that they were here to save him. He was very curious, he didn't know who could come up with such a strategy as using the formation map to get out.
He said: "This picture is a bit like the transformation of the Nine Palaces Bagua Array and the Coiling Dragon Array, this Coiling Dragon Array is the transformation of the String Long Snake Array. The exact situation can only be known by careful observation before the battle. β
Murong Qian is still counting on Gao Luolu to take the lead, how can he do it if he can't understand the formation?
He said, "Dao Chief, you have worked hard, follow him to have a look." β
Chen Ping said, "Yes, Khan. Obey the order. β
As he spoke, he followed the liaison officer sent by Gao Luolu and walked out, Gu Linger followed closely behind his master.
At this moment, Murong Qian's brother-in-law Tuoba Huai came in, and he said to Chen Ping: "Daoist, go and get busy, Gu Ling'er will follow me, and I will take good care of him." β
As he spoke, he glanced at Murong Qian.
Murong Qian understood, and he smiled: "Okay, you can play with Gu Ling'er, don't neglect him." β
Chen Ping was sad in his heart, and he had to make a happy appearance on the surface, he smiled and said: "Okay, Gu Linger, you can play here, the master will come when he goes." β
After saying that, he followed the liaison officer of Gao Luo Road.
Chen Ping and the liaison officer walked through the garden of the Great General's Mansion and walked towards the gate. He didn't notice that the Persian attendant didn't follow.
Chen Ping followed the liaison officer into the military camp on Gaoluo Road, and after entering the big tent on Gaoluo Road, he saw a familiar face, and he couldn't help but exclaim: "His Royal Highness King Qi, why are you here again?" β
The person standing in front of him was none other than Li You, the king of Qi.
It turned out that Li You wanted to rescue Chen Ping's master and apprentice, and he considered a variety of plans, but he couldn't think of any good way for a while.
It was still Bai Hu who reminded him, and Bai Hu said: "Lord Wang, let's go in and save people, can we think of a way to let Daoist Chen Ping and them come out by themselves?" β
"That's right, as long as there is a reasonable reason, let him come out on his own." Li You's train of thought suddenly became clear.
So, he asked Murong Bo's liaison officer to take him to the barracks on Gao Luo Road, and then there was a scene of asking for advice on the gossip array.
Chen Ping was very happy, and then he became sad again, and he pleaded: "Your Highness, Gu Ling'er is still in the General's Mansion, please send someone to rescue him." β
As he spoke, Chen Ping bowed to Li You.
Bai Hu said on the side: "Daochang Chen, you don't have to worry, my prince has been thinking about it for a long time, if my expectations are good, then the little master should also be rescued." β
"Master." Just then, a child's crisp voice came from outside the door.
When Chen Ping saw it, tears suddenly flowed down - the little Taoist priest who came in at the door, wasn't it Gu Linger?! I want to chat with more like-minded people about "{?$article_title?} ", WeChat pays attention to "excellent reading literature", chatting about life, looking for confidants~
