Chapter 58, Xiao Jianghou
On the ninth day of April in the year 507 of the Great Li calendar, dawn, Liangzhou, Qidi, Xinli.
"Jingfu, let's go." Jiang Jue shouted.
Jingfu Yizhou, there are only him and Jiang Jue on the boat.
Jiang Jue held the star-chasing sword in his arms and pretended to sleep on the boat, and the Tongjiang River was calm and calm this morning, and the mist was thick, exactly the same as the day Jiang Hou was killed.
"Childe, you just don't want to bother others." Keio said. Jiang Jue wanted to wade into the river to kill mustard seeds, and he specially chose to break at dawn, and the fisherman in Xinli had not yet gone out to fish.
Jiang Jue is a little cold, his reckless heart is warm and clear, so he is no longer a cold-resistant idiot. His gaze was compassionate, which made Jingfu a little sad. Jingfu was in the bow of the boat when he heard Jiang Jue reply: "It's not a connection, it's my private matter."
"Childe, they don't think so." Keio replied. Jiang Jue's status in the hearts of the free people of Qidi is incomparable, not good for respecting husbands, not good for martial arts, and not good for Jiang Hou.
There were three fishermen in Xinli who were about to go fishing, and when they saw the boat in the river, they began to shout, but unfortunately Jingfu had already arrived in the middle of the river and couldn't hear what he was shouting.
Jingfu specially chose to land on the shore a mile down from Bayang, where there was no Pakistani army garrison.
"Jingfu, go back." Jiang Jue said in an unquestioning tone.
Keio didn't answer, just tied the boat.
Jiang Jue also wanted to dissuade him, but he heard the sound of bamboo artemisia paddling in the misty Citrus River. Jiang Jue made a mistake, he thought he was walking quietly, but he still underestimated the time when the fisherman in Xinli went out fishing.
The leader is the female general Li Qin, the daughter of the veteran Li Ping has become a model for the female soldiers of the Qidi Free Army, she is honest and brave, she is humble and fair.
The Bayang garrison finally found the clue, but the Qidi Free Army had already had 1,000 people wading into the river, and the fishing boats were once again connected into pontoon bridges to block the river, and the Qidi Free Army was wading into the river.
"Go back." Jiang Jue scolded.
Li Qin pouted and replied "no", and even raised his sword to kill the Bayang garrison.
"Childe, you fight for us, how can we be willing to let you fight alone?" Keio said.
The Bayang garrison had already rushed over, and Jiang Jue no longer hesitated, so he had to catch up with Li Qin with a sword. There were no more and no less garrisons in Bayang, and when they saw Jiang Jue leading the way, the more than 1,000 garrisons turned around and returned to Bayang, but they had no will to fight.
There is more than one surviving Pakistani military who portrays Jiang Jue as a monster who does not belong to the human world with an almost fantastical tone and story. Some people were horrified and said that Jiang Jue was killing endlessly and tirelessly in Xinli; Some say that he wielded seventy-seven thousand seven hundred and seventy-seven swords, each of which was like a whip in the hand of a soul seeker that took a life with unmistakable accuracy; Some people say that when he holds the sword, there is a sword flashing in his hand, which is even three points more dazzling than Jiang Hou's sword.
One or two said that people laughed at him for being stupid; Three or four people said that people were skeptical; But when everyone who picked up a life from Xinli said this, it made the people of Bayang panic.
Someone witnessed Jiang Jue fall when he handed out the seventy-seven thousand seven hundred and seventy-seven sword, and the defenders of Bayang all hoped that this monster who did not belong to the world would not wake up again.
Back then, he stood up after the fall of Huoquanguan, and this time he still stood up after the fall of Xinli, which disappointed the Bayang garrison.
The Bayang garrison has only 5,000 people, 5,000, quite a few. But more than 10,000 people are not enough for this monster that does not belong to the human world to slaughter, let alone 5,000 people?
"Jiang Jue," the Duke of the Xie family shouted boldly, "as long as you withdraw from the army, you can row the river and rule, and you can not be held accountable for killing my son." ”
Jiang Jue smiled, the Duke of the Xie family did not have the backbone of Qi Zi back then, and in order to avenge Fan Yu, who died in the provocation of the fisherman, Qi Zi brazenly sent troops to Qi State, and the soldiers came to Huoquan Pass.
Jiang Jue's voice was hoarse, and he shouted softly, "Jingfu", Jingfu understood, and shouted: "Old dog of the Xie family, my son-in-law said that the death of Jiang Hou has nothing to do with the Ba people, and it has nothing to do with the soldiers of the Pakistani country, he only kills mustard seeds."
The Duke of the Xie family was called an old dog, filled with grief and indignation, and ordered: "Release the arrows."
None of the Pakistani troops released arrows, not that Bayang did not have arrows, but that they respected Jiang Hou.
Although some people witnessed Jiang Hou's death because the boat sank into the river, these Pakistani soldiers guessed in their hearts that it was a mustard seed's means. Mustard seeds are not false to the Pakistani army, Jiang Hou has guarded the land and the people all his life, and who does not care about Jiang Hou's kindness in the 500,000 households of Ba people?
Jingfu didn't see the arrow, so he breathed a sigh of relief and continued to shout: "Jiang Hou treats Ba Min as much as a mountain, Jiang Jue's son is Jiang Hou's righteous son, and his hatred with mustard seeds is as deep as the sea. Jiang Jue's son is to avenge Jiang Hou and will not kill innocents indiscriminately. ”
"Release the arrows," the Duke of the Xie family drew his sword against a current Bayang doctor, Ge Lu, and scolded sharply, "I'll let you release the arrows." ”
The young Bayang doctor Ge Lu glanced at the Xie family secretary contemptuously, grabbed his wrist with his backhand, and ordered: "Tie up this old dog and open the city to welcome Xiao Jianghou."
The gate of Bayang City opened, and Bayang Doctor Ge Lu led several commanders to shout respectfully at the city gate: "Welcome to Xiao Jianghou."
Xiao Jianghou, Jiang Jue sighed, turned back to Li Qin and said, "Go back."
Jingfu did not leave, he and Jiang Jue entered the city surrounded by 5,000 Bayang garrisons.
"Xiao Jianghou, the last general is willing to open the way for the vanguard." Bayang Doctor Ge Lu spoke.
Jingfu and Ge Lu looked at each other and smiled, and he said, "Childe, Ge Lu is my childhood friend."
"After Mustard Seed took power, Taishi Ba Mang was injured first and then died, the young king drowned, and now Jiang Hou is gone," Ge Lu said, "There have long been voices in China who suspect that all this is Mustard Seed's doing." ”
"I'm going to die." Jiang Jue looked at Ge Lu and said. He's not kidding, war, will die.
Ge Lu asked for his life again: "The last general is willing to open the way for Xiaojianghou"
Five thousand Bayang troops set out from Bayang, without passing a city, Ge Lu went to visit in person, and when he arrived at Futu Pass, Jiang Jue was followed by nearly 20,000 people.
The fact that Jiang Jue is Jiang Hou's righteous son has long been spread from Lidu, and Jiang Hou's favoritism towards Jiang Jue is not once or twice. From Bayang to Jiangcheng, the four or five nearby cities were all fiefdoms of Jianghou, and they were favored by Jiang Wangshu, so these 20,000 people respected Jiang Jue as Xiaojianghou.
Jiangcheng.
Ba Jun mustard face pale, more than 10,000 people waded through the river to Xinli and did not return, Jiang Jue also led the army to arrive at Futu Pass, and the old citrus capital was besieged by the Nanban again......
There was no good news about the return to Jiangcheng.
"Defend the Futu Pass," Ba Jun Mustard growled, "Why didn't Yang Xian come back to help?" ”
The old citrus capital.
Nanban lady Ji Yanqing soldiers came to the city, and Yang Xian, the governor of the southern border of Baguo, refused to defend it.
"Zhigui, Jiang Jue has already hit the Huoquan Pass," the commander shouted, "Withdraw, you can't hold it." ”
Yang Xian didn't withdraw the army, he was thinking, now the big man in the temple of Baguo is left with Ba Jun Mustard, six Qing doctors and himself, the southern governor, and the seven are all in Jiangcheng.
The thought grew like a weed, Yang Xian's face surged with fanaticism, he pointed to the Nanban army under the old citrus capital and shouted: "Just Nanban, dare to covet my country? Fight. ”
Yang Xian was the governor of the southern border, and the Pakistani army in the old capital had to fight. Besides, the Nanban people are brave and unscrupulous, as long as Yang Xian commands properly, the Nanban will be defeated.
Seeing that the army of Yang Xian, the old citrus capital, was finally willing to go out of the city to face the battle, Ji Yanqing, the wife of the Southern Barbarians, cheered coquettishly, and the Southern Barbarian army poured out.
Wu Qujian and the Southern Barbarian Army Division Li Li sat in the army, and this Southern Barbarian Army Division Li Li was no longer involved in the command, and was only responsible for passing Wu Quji's orders. He was not distressed, and even put on a respectful attitude towards his husband as a student.
Nanban lady Ji Yanqing took the lead in holding two short knives and entered the Pakistani army's military formation, and the seventy-two villagers behind him charged with knives, and then there were Nanban warriors and Qimin behind.
The more Yang Xian looked at the city, the more frightened he became, the Southern Barbarian warriors were really brave, and the leading female general was no less dangerous than those reckless men.
But he still has the chance to win, no matter how brave he is? Not a fool yet? He Yang Xian climbed step by step from the commander to the temple of Baguo, relying not on brute force, but on strategy.
"Shoot the arrows." Yang Xian ordered.
The arrows were overwhelmingly heading towards the Southern Barbarian Army, and Wu Qujian shouted with a solemn face: "Raise your shield." (Liangzhou Mandarin)
The Southern Barbarian Army Division ordered: "Raise the shield." (Nanban Native Language)
There is a trumpeter, a trumpet, a horn, the first is short, the second is long.
Futu off.
Jiang Jue's 20,000 troops were turned away from Futu Pass, and there was also bad news that there were Pakistani troops from all over the country to support Jiangcheng.
Futu Pass is the gate of Jiangcheng, there is only one way, as long as the Pakistani army holds Futu Pass, Jiang Jue is almost helpless.
Jiang Jue was helpless at this time, thinking about passing the Futu Pass, it was too difficult.
"Xiao Jianghou, I'll stop the incoming army." Bayang doctor Ge Lu led thousands of people to guard the road that the Pakistani army must pass through, buying time for Jiang Jue to break through.
The closed door of Futu Pass was wide open, and the centurion of the heroic Jiangcheng Guards led the army out without saying a word, and when he saw Jiang Jue raising his sword, he hurriedly shouted: "Don't kill me, I am a friendly army."
Jiang Jue naturally recognized this dog-faced heroic centurion of the Jiangcheng Guard Army, who was silent, and was embarrassed by this person at the beginning. Jingfu hurriedly dissuaded: "Childe, Gou Buyan is indeed his own person."
"I secretly came out of Jiangcheng to open the door for Childe," Gou Buyan first offered his courtesy pitifully, and then patted his chest proudly and said, "Futuguan is all my people, Childe just rest assured." ”
Jiang Jue was impressed by this heroic centurion of the Jiangcheng Guards, a small centurion still has so much energy? You can see Gou Buyan's courteous smile, no matter how you look at it, it looks like a dog's face.
"Ge Lu," Jiang Jue shouted, "Can you give you five thousand people to guard the Futu Pass?" ”
Ge Lu shook his head, Jiang Jue frowned, five thousand, is the limit of what he can withdraw, after all, there are only 20,000 people in total, and it is needless to say that the defenders of Jiangcheng are not less than 20,000.
"Xiao Jianghou, a thousand is enough," Ge Lu patted his chest and promised, "As long as I Ge Lu does not fall, Futu Guan will not be lost." ”
"Okay, Ge Lu obeys the order, gives you two thousand men and horses, and guards Futu Pass," Jiang Jue felt that one thousand was too little, and added another thousand, and then instructed, "Wait until I kill the mustard seed, and I will rest when I get drunk." ”
After passing the Futu Pass, Jiang Jue led 18,000 people to drive straight into Jiangcheng and kill them.
