086, unexpected encounter

Cao Qian led people to ambush three miles away from the camp of the Beidi army, and waited all day without receiving a signal.

Of course, he didn't know that the city had become a mess because of Zhiying's disappearance, and Bailizan was about to go crazy, and he forgot about the signal in a hurry.

The adjutant general came back from outside and asked worriedly, "General Cao, what should I do now?" ”

Cao Qian was also worried, seeing that the sky was about to dawn, the longer it dragged on, the easier it was to have an accident, so he could only grit his teeth and order: "The whole army will pull out the camp and set off in half an hour!" ”

Fortunately, the boiling oil plan that held the profit caused heavy casualties to the Beidi army, especially after Bailizan ordered the siege vehicles to be set on fire, which greatly damaged the ability of the Beidi people to break the city, causing them to dare not act rashly throughout the day, otherwise less than 5,000 people guarded the tiger and ran to the pass, and they really couldn't hold it for two days.

Cao Qian's order, 20,000 Yanzhou troops held high the "left" banner, pretending to be reinforcements sent by Ganzhou Mu, when the Beidi army had just started a new round of siege warfare, the tide generally covered from the rear.

Fighting this kind of thing, it is by no means that whoever has more people will definitely be able to win, especially in places where the terrain is not open, the Beidi army has 70,000 or 80,000, and the number of people who can be put into the battlefield will not exceed 20,000 every time, otherwise people will crowd people and horses in a large area, and what else to fight, all of them will become meat sauce.

So when the 20,000 "Ganzhou Army" was violent, even with drums and shouts from the rear outflanked, the Beidi army that had not yet set up the formation was suddenly caught off guard, Cao Qian bore the brunt of the battle, led 2,000 cavalry from the center to charge the formation, the two wings of the force expanded, surrounded the Beidi archers with lightning speed, cut melons and chop vegetables in a blink of an eye to kill thousands of people, and waited for the Beidi infantry in front to help, the Yanzhou army regrouped, and charged with all its might.

"Zuo Zhijie, under the command of Ganzhou Mu Chen Han, was ordered to come to help! Please open the gates of the city! Cao Qian shouted loudly according to the lines compiled by Bailizan.

The city gate was opened, the Yanzhou army killed and retreated, retreated into the pass, the Beidi people failed to attack the city, but were attacked by the front and back, killed thousands of people, and also retreated in embarrassment, leaving only a dead body.

"Thank goodness! General Cao received the signal? Xu Cheng rushed down from the city gate.

Cao Qian took off his helmet, wiped his sweat and said, "No! After waiting for a day without movement, I was afraid that I would delay things, so I asked everyone to set off. What happened? ”

Xu Cheng said with a sad expression: "Madame is gone!" ”

The helmet in Cao Qian's hand rolled to the ground with a bang.

Yanzhou Mansion is full of chickens and dogs, and the Beidi camp is not much better, a water test battle and two siege battles were defeated, and the general Lu Batu is not calm at all.

"What the hell is going on!"

He was sitting in the tent, drinking wine, and the dancing girl was hugging, waiting with confidence for the good news of this victory, but who knew that 10,000 people were sent out and returned in a disastrous defeat after a while, and almost tore the table on the spot.

The general who led the army to battle knelt on the ground tremblingly, and told him what had just happened, and Rubatu's eyes almost popped out: "Reinforcements from Ganzhou? Twenty thousand? How so! ”

The general fell prostrate to the ground and stammered, "Yes!" The subordinates heard that the person headed by him claimed to be surnamed Zuo, and he was under the command of Ganzhou Mu Chen, and before our army could set up a position, they rushed up from the rear, and the archers were almost all wiped out, and the infantry also suffered heavy losses! ”

Lu Batu rolled his eyes with a "cluck", but fortunately, the dancing girl beside him hurriedly rubbed his chest for him, and then he came to his senses, and said in surprise and suspicion: "Didn't Your Majesty say that an agreement has been reached with the Emperor of the Central Plains to cede the eleven counties of Yanzhou, and ask us to completely wipe out King Wu's forces?" How could they send another 20,000 people to help them, this, this, this...... What the hell is going on!? ”

The military advisor on the side was still calm, and at this moment he hugged his fists and said: "General, those 20,000 people may not be the Ganzhou Army, maybe they want to break our alliance with the Emperor of the Central Plains, and deliberately use the banner of the Ganzhou Army to muddy the waters?" ”

When Rubatu heard it, it seemed to make sense, and with a "hmm", he touched his beard and pondered.

The military advisor continued: "General, do you want to write a letter to ask Ganzhou Mu?" ”

Rubatu shook his head: "That will drag on for too long." If it wasn't the Ganzhou army, where would it be the soldiers and horses, and there could be as many as 20,000 people? ”

From the geographical point of view, the only way to send troops to aid Yanzhou is Ganzhou, otherwise it will be impossible to transfer troops from the northwest of Dachu to come over without a month. If it weren't for the Ganzhou Army, then where did these 20,000 people come from?

Could it really be the Ganzhou Army? The emperor of the Central Plains said that he wanted to use Beidi's hand to eradicate his brother, maybe he joined forces with his brother to exterminate Beidi? The Beidi military division was full of suspicions.

At this moment, a battalion soldier came in from outside the tent: "Report to the general, a team of men and horses came from outside the south gate of the camp, escorting more than a dozen carts of rice and a dozen cattle and sheep, claiming to be sent by Ganzhou to reward us on the orders of the Emperor of the Central Plains." ”

Rubatu was immediately overjoyed: "Let their leaders come to see me!" ”

Although it was delayed for a day, Shanjian's plan still carried out smoothly, and as long as the grain and grass of the Beidi army were burned, the enemy would be defeated without a fight.

At the same time, on the official road hundreds of miles away from the battlefield, Xie Yong was driving a carriage day and night.

Zhiying had already woken up the first night, but her hands and feet were tied with thick ropes, and she couldn't do anything, and Xiaoqiu didn't know where she had gone, if there was anything wrong.

Xie Yuchan sat opposite her, all day, holding a drop of water, but watching her open a bag of pastries, disgusted for a long time, reserved to eat a few pieces, the rest of the broken ones were thrown out of the window.

Zhiying leaned against the wall of the car, with a ball of cloth in her mouth and couldn't speak, but her stomach was gurgling.

Xie Yuchan glared at her with disgust, and looked at her calmly.

"Look at what I'm doing! Something shitty. Xie Yuchan scolded in disgust.

Zhiying had no feeling for her cookie-cutter scolding, and while observing her expression, she speculated about their intention to kidnap her.

Even when she was running away in such a hurry, Xie Yuchan did not forget the pride of being a beautiful girl, her face was still so arrogant, and she was a little happy and impatient. Since they couldn't get out of the carriage, they didn't know where they were going, but it was a good place to be sure.

Since Xie Yong is a fraud, the biggest possibility is to take his sister back to the capital to seek refuge from Cui Jie, to say that he has done a lot of credit for being a traitor, Cui Jie means to give him a few years of glory and wealth to enjoy. But if this is the case, Xie Yuchan should not be happy, this woman has never been interested in fighting for family and country affairs, she only has Cui Yi in her eyes, and the mouth full of Brother Yingrong's croak, taking her away from Cui Yi is more terrible than asking for her life.

What did Xie Yong promise her? Let her be with Cui Yi after returning to the capital? Unlikely, Cui Jie and Cui Yi are incompatible, no matter how stupid Xie Yuchan is, she will not believe this; Let her fly away with Cui Yi? And what about yourself? was escorted back to the capital by Xie Yong and handed over to Cui Jie for disposal? It's possible! No, it should be said that this is the most likely statement, although with Zhiying's understanding of Cui Jie, he will most likely agree to this stubble in person, and when he turns around, he will find someone to kill Cui Yi and Xie Yuchan on the elopement road, and never suffer in the future.

But this kind of thing is more than enough to deceive Xie Yuchan.

If it is really as he expected, then the carriage should be heading in the direction of Ganzhou now, after all, Xuanzhou is the chassis of the Xie family, and Xie Yong will not dare and will not be able to go back.

I hope to meet Cui Yisang Duo who is going back, otherwise once he is brought back to the capital, he will definitely die.

Heaven seemed to hear her prayers, and in the evening of the same day, Xie Yuchan cried and wanted to get off the bus and eat a hot meal, Xie Yong was so tormented by her that he had no choice but to park the carriage near the post station next to the official road.

"Can't you just take a break when you're away from home, and what about the pastries I prepared for you?"

"Those are also called pastries? It's all rotten, and it tastes bad, so I threw it all away. ”

"You β€”β€”!"

Outside the carriage, the two siblings were talking, and Zhiying was sweating with hunger, struggling to sit up, looking for something sharp everywhere, trying to cut the rope that bound his hands.

Suddenly, Xie Yong lifted the curtain of the car: "What do you want to do?" ”

Zhiying squirmed like a big worm, whining in her mouth, wanting to say something, Xie Yong tore off the cloth ball that gagged her mouth, and Zhiying immediately asked, "What about Xiaoqiu?" What did you do to her? ”

Xie Yongman smiled nonchalantly: "I'm going to die, and I still care about a girl?" I threw her in front of a farmhouse outside the city, and it was up to her to live or die. ”

Zhiying gasped, listening to his breath, Xiaoqiu Bacheng was also injured, maybe she was beaten up by Xie Yuchan in retaliation, this femme fatale!

"Don't you bow your head and beg for mercy at this time?" Xie Yong saw the flame of anger burning in her eyes, and he was very disappreciative and laughed.

Zhiying did not show weakness, and sneered back with an even more disdainful expression: "Bow your head and beg for mercy? To you? Do you think that if you get some sweat medicine and kidnap me, take me back to the capital and hand it over to the emperor, the emperor will fulfill all the promises he gave you at the beginning? Xie Zichang, you are too naΓ―ve, a little chess piece like you who is not worth caring about, the emperor has used it, and he will kill you without even blinking an eyelid, do you really think that the deception has deceived us? ”

"I didn't surrender!" Xie Yong interrupted her loudly and shouted angrily, "I sincerely surrender to the prince!" ”

Zhiying learned what he had just looked like and laughed nonchalantly: "Really? Do you have this kind of thing? When you first arrived at the palace, you also really wanted to be loyal to the prince, but in a blink of an eye you became the prince's spy, and now you say that you really surrender to the prince, Xie Zichang, Xie Zichang, people will not fall twice in the same pit, don't you don't understand this truth? ”

Xie Yong's face was blue with anger, his teeth were clenched, and his hand holding the curtain was full of green tendons.

Zhiying continued to say slowly: "Even if you are sincere, so what? You can betray the prince and take refuge in the prince, of course, you can also betray the emperor and take refuge in the prince, maybe the limelight will change in the future, and you will fall into the arms of the emperor again, this wall grass is the most unbelievable, not to mention that you have no ability, you say that a person who is neither capable nor loyal, the emperor is so suspicious, will he keep you? ”

"Shut up!" Xie Yong finally couldn't bear it anymore, and roughly plugged the gag back into her mouth, "No matter how you can speak, it's useless!" It's a big deal, we're all doomed! I'm nothing, but I'm worth it to drag you to hell! ”

Zhiying rolled her eyes, just too lazy to meet him in general. Thinking that when he Xie Yong was in the capital, Xie Yuchan repeatedly messed around and pestered Cui Yi to be unhappy, and he still said good things for him from the side, even if he returned to Yanzhou with nine deaths, he still gave him a chance to reform himself, regardless of his previous suspicions, but what about him? first betrayed Cui Yi and took refuge in Cui Jie, and then used Mrs. Ye's vicious heart to force her to a dead end, not to mention repaying virtue with resentment, and now she still has a posture of hatred with her, which is higher than the sky and deeper than the sea, which is really hopeless.

Xie Yong's breath was short, his shoulders shrugged, he was obviously extremely angry, and he opened his mouth to say something, but Xie Yuchan's scream came from the direction of the post house: "Ahhhβ€”β€”!h ”
