Chapter 479 didn't count

Fengcheng guard Liu Han would routinely go around the four city gates every morning, which was a habit he developed when he was a Fengcheng county minister. It's just that most of the original subordinates have been killed in battle, and although there are more subordinates now, not many people respect him. In the battle of Fengcheng that year, Li Yuanshan's generals led tens of thousands of troops to attack the city, and he and the county guard took 1,500 county soldiers and people to resist the city, and the rebels attacked for six days without breaking.

Later, Li Yuanshan came in person and angrily said outside the city wall that he would slaughter the city if he did not surrender.

At this time, most of the soldiers in the city had already died in battle, and even the young and strong people had also died thousands. The county guard sighed, bowed in the direction of Chang'an City, and then jumped off the city wall and fell to his death on the spot. Liu Han looked at the corpse of the county guard under the city and cried, and after a long time, he ordered to open the door and surrender.

After Li Yuanshan entered the city, he forcibly ordered the young and strong people to join the army and let Liu Han train. The people initially thought that Liu Han was forced to surrender, but what no one expected was that Liu Han did not refuse Li Yuanshan's order, took up the post of Fengcheng County Guard, and then really tried his best to train for Li Yuanshan.

Since then, the people of Fengcheng have secretly scolded him.

Just over half a month ago, Li Yuanshan sent people to transfer most of the rebels in Fengcheng, leaving only a few thousand people to defend Fengcheng.

After the army was transferred, Liu Han still got up in the morning to inspect the city gates, and then returned to the county guard office to handle official business, and in the afternoon he would inevitably go to the barracks for a turn.

His cronie Liu Fu is the steward of his family, and he couldn't help but feel a pain in his heart when he looked at Liu Han's obvious gray hair in the past two years.

No one in this city understands the painstaking efforts of the adults.

"My lord, is this battle almost over?"

He asked cautiously as he followed.

Liu Han, who was walking in front, paused when he heard this, and then shook his head: "Maybe......"

No one saluted him from the people who passed by, neither of them greeted him. Liu Fu got angry when he saw it, and snorted coldly: "These guys really don't know what to do, if it weren't for your great efforts to protect them in the past few years, would they have a peaceful life today?" ”

"I'm just trying to make myself feel better."

Liu Han said as he walked: "The people still have their hearts set on the Great Sui, which is a good thing. ”

Liu Fudao: "When the lord agreed to Li Yuanshan to train his troops, he was not afraid that he would cause trouble for the people of Fengcheng because of his refusal of Li Yuanshan. Over the years, the adults have tried their best to train them, but haven't they mastered more things to save their lives on the battlefield? It's just the painstaking efforts of adults, and none of these white-eyed wolves understand. They also didn't want to think that Li Yuanshan forced them to join the army just so that they could go to the battlefield to die, and the adults did not perfunctory but trained harshly, just to give them a chance to survive on the battlefield in the future. These idiots, they don't understand anything. ”

"It's not a bad thing for people to be simpler in their hearts. However, I train them harshly, not just to save their lives......"

Liu Han's words were not much, as always, he smiled at every person who passed by, in exchange for one after another roll of eyes.

He did not care, but when he came to the west gate, he commanded that the people who came in and out should not be examined, and that those who came in and went out should not be cared for. It's a little puzzling, and I don't understand what adults mean by that.

At this moment, suddenly the sound of trumpets sounded on the city walls. Liu Han's face changed, and he ran quickly along the horse road to the city wall. With the sound of the horn, the defenders on the city wall, who were already a little lazy, became nervous. Everyone grabbed their weapons, and the archers placed the quiver within reach of their feet, drew one and tied it to the string, staring at the dust and smoke wafting outside the city.

The city gate began to close, and Liu Han stood on the city wall and shouted to the people outside to enter the city immediately. The people ran into the city in a panic, and even those who had left the city immediately turned around and returned.

"My lord, it's the Flying Wolf Banner that is coming!"

After the lookout hand lowered the clairvoyance, the adult reported.

Liu Han frowned: "What are Mengyuan people doing here?" ”

He kept his soldiers on guard, but did not order the arrows not to be fired.

After a short time, the cavalry outside the city stopped about two hundred meters away from the city gate, and then two or three horsemen separated from the group and urged their horses to the outside of the city gate. One of the cavalrymen raised his head and shouted to the city wall: "Open the city gate quickly, we have been ordered by General Baihuo to rush to Xiangcheng to ask for an appointment with the special service, if you block the trip, weigh the consequences yourself." ”

The speaker was in Chinese, but it was obviously a bit of a disadvantage.

Liu Han stood on the city wall and took clairvoyance to look at the people outside, his brows furrowed deeper and deeper. After a while, he turned and walked down the city: "Open the gate of the city through a gap, and I will go out and see it myself." ”

Liu Fu and the others were afraid that he would follow him, but Liu Han waved his hand to signal that he didn't need to. In the hole in the city gate, dozens of soldiers opened a gap in the city gate, and people blocked it, and if something happened, the city gate could be closed again. Liu Han squeezed out of the gap, tidied up his clothes, and then strode out of the cavalry.

Liu Fu stood on the city wall and watched nervously, his palms were full of sweat. He instructed those soldiers who were loyal to Liu Han to be ready to go out at any time.

He watched Liu Han walk to the front of the cavalry team, talked with the Meng Yuan man in charge for a while, and then turned back, waving to open the city gate as he walked. Liu Fu hurriedly ordered, and then took his own soldiers down to the city to pick up Liu Han. After the city gate was opened, those Mengyuan people and their slaves entered the city gate from the horses, and did not stop and went directly to the east gate. Liu Han asked his cronies to go to the east gate to inform him and tell the defenders of the east gate not to stop him.

Watching the cavalry of 3,000 people pass, Liu Fu spat at and scolded: "These barbarians, sooner or later, they will not die well!" ”

"Not ......"

Liu Han smiled slightly and walked forward with his hands in his hands.

"My lord, what did you say it wasn't?"

Liu Fu chased after him and asked.

Liu Han saw that he didn't follow outsiders left and right, and said with a smile: "Don't you see that those cavalry are not Mengyuan people at all." ”

"Huh?"

Liu Fu was stunned for a moment: "My subordinates really didn't see it, how do you know, my lord." ”

"I felt that there was a problem when I was on the city wall, and those that stopped at least two hundred meters outside the city gate were out of range of the archers, hehe...... If it's a Mengyuan person, is it so careful? In the past three years, the Mengyuan people have been accustomed to marching in our northwest, and although the cavalry of the Mengyuan people is strong, they rarely form a queue when they march, do you think about what it was like when those cavalry stopped before? Especially the back team, the standard dovetail formation, can be attacked or retreated. ”

"Your Excellency is aware of everything!"

Liu Fu praised it from the bottom of his heart.

"Not only that, although the two people who led the team were wearing the robes of the Mengyuan people, although one of them had a beard and a little similar to the Mengyuan people, but the difference was that his eyes were not black, and the eyes of most of the cavalrymen were not black, although the appearance of the Mengyuan people was very different from our Han people, but the eyes were black. Therefore, it is not difficult to guess where these people came from...... King Xujun organized men and horses to fight against Mengnu and the rebels in Wolf Milk Mountain, and Wanyan Yong, the Han Dynasty of Northern Liao, sent Han cavalry to help in the battle, and these people, seven or eight out of ten, were cavalry in Northern Liao. ”

Liu Fu was taken aback: "Then what are they going to do?" Could it be that he wanted to sneak attack Li Yuanshan's back road? It's impossible, how can only three or four thousand people be so bold, even if they are so bold, they can't succeed. ”

"I don't know."

Liu Han said: "But I know that I should let them pass, and that's enough." ”

As he walked, he asked in a low voice, "Is the Great Sui Dragon Banner I asked you to prepare ready?" ”

"Don't worry, my lord, the thirty dragon flags have been prepared a long time ago, and they are hidden in the homes of their subordinates. Waiting for the adult's order, his subordinates led people to cut down the rebels' flags and replace them with the Great Sui Dragon Flag. ”

"Hmm"

Liu Han nodded: "I guess...... It won't be too long, right? His Majesty drove the expedition in person, and the army had reached a place less than three hundred miles away from Xiangcheng, and Li Yuanshan kept transferring troops from the rear, proving that the pressure on the battlefield in front was extremely great. The imperial army has won consecutive battles, morale is like a rainbow, and the end of the rebels is not far off! ”

Hearing this, Liu Fu's eyes were filled with joy: "My subordinates have been looking forward to this day for three years!" ”

Liu Han patted him on the shoulder: "After all, I am a citizen of the Great Sui and a courtier of His Majesty, so I have to do something." Once the imperial army besieges Xiangcheng, I will be the first to raise the dragon flag. There are many people in the cities in the northwest who have the same thoughts as me, and as long as someone takes the lead, all localities will inevitably respond. ”

He raised his head and took a deep breath, looking at the dazzling sun.

Tears streamed down his face.

Liu Fu looked at the adult's actions in puzzlement, and said in his heart that the adult was stung by the sun, right?

……

……

After leaving Fengcheng, Wan Yan Chongde couldn't help but breathe a long sigh of relief, and then looked at Fang Xie and laughed: "I really didn't expect it to come over so smoothly, your idea is really good, when you didn't do it, you thought it was very dangerous, and after you left the city, you thought about how to come over so easily." None of the rebels defending the city had a good eye...... But it's no wonder that the Mengyuan people are used to being powerful, and the rebels don't dare to provoke them. ”

He smiled very freely, and was clearly in a good mood.

But after he finished speaking, he didn't see Fang Xie answering. Wanyan Chongde looked at Fang Jie, and saw that Fang Xie glanced back at Fengcheng, thoughtful.

"What are you thinking?"

Wan Yan Chongde asked.

Fang Xie removed the beard from his lips, looked at the flying wolf flag still held by his own soldiers, and was stunned for a while: "Wrong." ”

"Wrong?"

Wanyan Chongde was puzzled.

Fang Xie nodded: "Wrong, it's not that those rebels didn't find us, but they deliberately let us over." ”

He asked the Flying Wolf Flag to be removed, and said after a moment of silence: "Do you know what is the biggest flaw in Fengcheng if he wants to hide from the rebels? ”

He pointed to his eyes: "It's eyes, you people in Northern Liao have blue eyes, and Mengyuan barbarians are black." I thought about it before, but I didn't say it. This time the bet is on whether the rebels defending the city will be negligent, but when Liu Han came out of the city and stared at me and yours a few times, I knew that he had seen through us. But he didn't say anything, but immediately had the gates opened...... It's not that we're lucky, it's because we met a general who doesn't share the same heart as the rebels. ”

"Deliberately?"

Wanyan Chongde was taken aback, and then asked: "Then he did it on purpose, he let us go for fear of hurting him, will he send someone to contact the rebels immediately after we leave the city?" ”

"Won't"

Fang Xie shook his head, extremely determined.

"Why?"

Wanyan Chongde said: "It's better to be careful." ”

Fang Xie looked back at Feng Cheng again, as if he had found the old man who was smiling at him before.

"Because he's a Sui man, his eyes tell me."

Fang Xie breathed a sigh of relief and pointed the horsewhip forward: "Accelerate and rush forward, there are no rebels stationed at least two hundred and seventy miles ahead, we can't delay time!" ”

"Driving"

He struck the red horse, which screamed twice excitedly, spread its hooves and rushed forward.

Fang Xie rode the horse while recalling the meaning in the other party's eyes when he saw Liu Han. Then the corners of his mouth began to slowly sketch a smile, which was joy without a trace of impurities.

"Li Yuanshan...... You have calculated everything, and you have exhausted all the mechanisms, but you still have one thing that you haven't calculated, and this incident may be enough to make it difficult for you to turn over. ”

He thought to himself, his eyes bright.
