Chapter 22 Moving troops to save people
When the two returned to the inn, Ye Limin said, "Lord Alekun, you rest, I take my leave." ”
Alekun said, "Go slowly. ”
After these people left, Ayiguli said: "Uncle, Liu Keshi was really arrested by them and locked up in the courtyard at the back. ”
Yalikun said: "I'm afraid we won't be able to save Liu Keshi with our strength. ”
Ayiguli said: "I'll go and inform Yang Huaide and Yang Huaixing and let them find a way." ”
She rode away from Shenmu Village. Yang Huaide and Yang Huaixing were sitting on the mound in front of the door waiting anxiously, when they saw Ayiguli Pegasus coming, and the two ran forward.
Yang Huaide asked, "Ayiguli, is there any news from the world?" ”
Ayiguli dismounted and said: "Liu Keshi is in Shenmu Village, there are more than sixty of them, unlike ordinary people, the guards are very strict, you have to find a way." ”
Yang Huaide said: "There are many of them, and it is difficult for a good man to defeat four hands. ”
Yang Huaixing said: "We are looking for Uncle Liu to move the rescue soldiers. ”
Yang Huaide poured a bowl of water for Ayiguli, she drank it in one gulp, and said, "I'm going back, they will suspect us after a long time." ”
After speaking, flying on the horse, Yang Huaide said: "Ayiguli, you have to be careful. ”
Ayiguli had a happy smile on her face.
At dusk, Ye Lima led two people to stand at the gate of the Shenmu Walled City, and Ayiguli passed in front of him as if nothing had happened.
Yelima asked, "Ayiguli, where have you been?" ”
Ayiguli replied, "I'll go to a nearby village to buy some rouge." Yelima watched suspiciously as she entered the village.
Yang Huaide and Yang Huaixing returned to the cave and ate dry food with a few Uighurs.
After a while, there was the sound of hurried footsteps outside, and then several small fireballs flew in from the window, and white smoke flew wildly.
This is the magic ball that the martial arts people of the Xia Kingdom make good use of, which is made of a kind of poisonous thorn grass in the Xia Kingdom, plus mutton fat and ** air-dried, and burns in the wind.
Yang Huaide shouted: "This smoke is poisonous, everyone cover their mouths." ”
But there were still two Uighurs who did not react and were fascinated, Yang Huaide and Yang Huaixing kicked open the door, rushed out with their guns, and saw Ye Lima with ten men, each with a long sword, lined up.
It turned out that as soon as Ayiguli left the inn, someone followed her, and after Ye Lima learned that Yang Huaide and Yang Huaixing were in a nearby cave, he immediately brought someone over.
Ye Lima shouted: "Yang Huaide, you stinky boy, Ayiguli is mine, you dare to fight with me, you will kill you today." ”
Swinging the sword, the sword flashed, and soon several Uighurs were injured, Yang Huaide and Yang Huaixing danced the dragon pear flower spear, pierced in front and back, and poked on the left, these party members could not parry.
Yang Huaide saw the opportunity, the gun and stick were one, and the head of the gun slapped heavily on the back of Ye Lima, Ye Lima suddenly felt stuffy in his chest, his eyes were full of stars, and he knew that he was not an opponent, he shouted, these party members followed him and turned around and fled, Yang Huaide chased after him and stabbed down one person, and the rest of the people fled with Ye Lima.
It was already dark, and Yang Huaixing said, "Big brother, let's go to Lizhou City to find Uncle Liu quickly." ”
The two borrowed two horses from the Uighurs, and when they came to the city of Linzhou, the gates were closed, and Yang Huaide shouted to the defenders of the city: "Trouble to report, we are the nephew of General Liu Jiqian, and we need to see him urgently." ”
After a while, the gates opened, and one of the soldiers said, "Follow me to the General's Palace." ”
Liu Jiqian paced around in the courtyard, he had been fighting against the Xia army for many years, he was brave and strategic, and he had won many battles.
Yang Huaide and Yang Huaixing were taken to the courtyard, and Liu Jiqian guessed from their anxious expressions that something must have happened and asked; "Huaide, Huaixing, didn't the three of you brothers make an appointment to come together? But where has the world gone? ”
Yang Huaide said: "Uncle Liu, Keshi was caught by the Xia people in Shenmu Village, you should quickly send troops to save him!" ”
Liu Jiqian frowned, took out the map and put it on the table to check, and said: "Shenmu Village is ten miles away from Linzhou, and it was destroyed in a battle many years ago, and then it was abandoned. ”
Yang Huaide said: "There is a Uighur caravan that has come to Shenmu Village to help us find out the news, and it is said that there are dozens of families in it, and there are more than 60 Xia people, these people are not like ordinary people. ”
Liu Jiqian said: "There must be some conspiracy for these Xia people to stay in Shenmu Village, you have already scared the snakes, we have to go to Shenmu Village as soon as possible." ”
Liu Jiqian put on his armor and rode on a war horse, holding a long-handled broadsword, leading ten cavalry, twenty archers, and seventy infantry to Shenmu Village.
At a distance of 100 meters from Shenmu Village, Liu Jiqian divided the team into several squads and ordered: "Everyone must block all exits, not let anyone go, rest on the spot after arriving at the position, and wait for orders after dawn." ”
Liu Jiqian took Yang Huaide and Yang Huaixing to rest behind a dirt bag, and Yang Huaide and Yang Huaixing told him about the things on the road.
Yang Huaide said angrily: "These people are really treacherous and cunning! ”
Liu Jiqian comforted: "You are still young and inexperienced, it is inevitable to suffer losses and be deceived, those people should be the secret agents of the Xia Kingdom, pretending to go to Wutai Mountain to worship the Buddha, but in fact to investigate the situation of the Hedong Road Army." Yang Huaide and Yang Huaixing looked surprised.
Liu Jiqian said: "Sleep, we will attack as soon as it is dawn." ”
As the sky grew brighter, Liu Jiqian ordered: "Each team guards the exit, come out and grab one by one, and the rest rush in with me." ”
There were four party members guarding the mound at the entrance of the Shenmu Walled City, and before they could react, several archers rushed up and shot them down, and then, without any hindrance, rushed to the door of the inn.
Several party members shouted: "The Song army is coming, the Song army is coming." Yang Huaide and Yang Huaixing rushed into the inn and saw some Uighurs tied up in the courtyard, Yang Huaide shouted Ayiguli's name, searched from house to house, and found her and Yalikun in a room, and the two were also tied hand and foot, Ayiguli shouted: "Huaide, save me." ”
Yang Huaide helped her loosen her ties and asked, "Ayiguli, what's going on." ”
It turned out that after Ye Lima returned last night, he told Ye Limin what had happened, and Ye Limin concluded that these Uighurs had come to save Liu Keshi, so he sent someone to smoke and tie them up with a fairy ball, and prepared to withdraw to Xia the next day.
Ayiguli picked up the scimitar and said, "I'll take you to save the world." Pulling Yang Huaide to run out of the house.
At this time, Ye Limin and Ye Li Niu also took some party members and Song Jun to tear up at the door of the inn, Yang Huaixing met Ye Li Niu as soon as he went out of the door, he was angry, he raised his gun and stabbed, and the two fought together.
Ayiguli pulled Yang Huaide around to the back corner of the inn, and saw Ye Lima and more than a dozen party members guarding the gate of the courtyard, and they quietly walked around to the back wall of the compound, and there was no movement in the courtyard.
The two jumped into the courtyard, tiptoed around to the front of the firewood room, there was no one in the courtyard, Liu Keshi saw Yang Huaide happy in his heart, Yang Huaide inserted the dragon pear flower gun into the iron chain on the door, and hinged it hard, "dang long" sound, the iron chain broke, the door was opened, and the party people outside the courtyard heard the sound and rushed in.
Ayiguli said, "You go and save the world, look at me." ”
He drew his scimitar, his feet were forced, his body spun rapidly, the beautiful flowers turned into thorny roses, and the petals turned into spinning blades.
Ayiguli crossed her left hand on her waist and said with a smile: "This time I know how powerful this princess is!" ”
Yang Huaide and Liu Keshi were also surprised, this is a rose with thorns.
Liu Keshi picked up a knife from the ground and rushed out of the door with Yang Huaide, who was willing to let them go and surrounded the three of them.
At this time, several Song soldiers also rushed over to help. Yang Huaide stabbed Ye Lima in the thigh with a shot, Liu Keshi flew up and kicked him down, and a Song soldier hacked him to death with a knife.
And said that Yeli Niu was not Yang Huaixing's opponent at all, he stabbed Yang Huaixing a few times, Yang Huaixing retreated, he took the opportunity to take out a dart from his arms to Yang Huaixing, Yang Huaixing had already taken precautions this time, sideways dodge, Yeli Niu turned around and wanted to run, Yang Huaixing hooked his calf with the tip of the gun, he fell heavily to the ground, and two Song soldiers held him down.
Yang Huaixing saw that he was still carrying a Buddha statue on his back, and thought that it might be a treasure, so he took it off and carried it on his body.
Alekun led his men to surround Ye Limin and said, "Ye Limin, surrender quickly, or I will cut you into meat sauce." ”
Ye Limin saw that the situation was not good, so he could only tie his hands and arrest him. The other party members were quickly eliminated.
Liu Keshi saw his father wearing armor and was majestic, so proud in his heart, he ran over and shouted, "Dad." ”
Liu Jiqian was also very happy to see his son, but just asked, "Are you injured?" So he led the soldiers to search for the party.
These party members were quickly arrested.
Yalikun didn't stay long before leading the caravan to set off, Yang Huaide sent Ayiguli out of Shenmu Village, and the two held hands and were reluctant.
Yang Huaide said: "When will you come again?" ”
"I don't know, my uncle won't let me run outside.
"My miss," called out Alequin, "We are leaving. ”
Ayiguli kissed Yang Huaide on the face, flew on the horse, turned around and said: "Huaide, you will become a hero, when you become a hero, you will definitely come to Hezhou to find me." With that, he chased the caravan.
Back in Linzhou City, the three of them sat at a table and chatted, Yang Huaixing fiddled with the stone Buddha and said, "Why does this Manjushri statue step on a lotus flower?" ”
Yang Huaide said: "The bodhisattva riding on the lion mount means wisdom and might, and stepping on the lotus flower means that he is pure and unblemished. ”
Yang Huaixing said: "The wild cow carries this Buddha statue all day long, there must be a secret!" ”
Liu Keshi said: "You mean that there is a secret hidden in the Buddha statue, and you will know if the stone statue is broken." ”
Yang Huaide shook his head and said, "That's not good, that's disrespectful to the Bodhisattva." ”
Yang Huaixing carefully observed the lotus base of the Buddha statue, and suddenly shouted: "Look, there is a small hole in this petal." ”
He poked it with a toothpick, the lotus base was loosened, he turned it slightly, and it was separated from the Buddha's body, a walnut-sized gold medal fell out, the gold medal was engraved with a strange text, and the Buddha body hid a roll of paper, Yang Huaixing took it out and opened it to see, it turned out to be a map, and strange words were also written on it, and the three of them were surprised and confused.
Liu Keshi said: "Quickly show it to my father." ”
The three of them ran to Liu Jiqian's room, and Yang Huaixing said, "Uncle Liu, we found something from the stone statue, you can take a look." ”
Liu Jiqian took the gold medal and the map, and said: "This is the Xia Guo script. ”
He asked someone to find a person who knew the Xia language, and the man said: "General, the text on this gold medal is translated into Chinese to mean secret, and this map records the situation of our garrison on the East Road of the Great Song River." ”
Liu Jiqian became vigilant and ordered: "Strictly guard these party members, I will report this matter to the imperial court and make preparations as soon as possible." ”
He also said to Yang Huaide and the three of them: "In the past two years, the Xia people have invaded and cultivated the land west of the Quye River in our Great Song Dynasty, and our side has negotiated many times to no avail, and even claimed that it is their land, and now, the Xia State has sent Yeli Wangrong to lead 30,000 troops to prepare to attack Linzhou. ”
Liu Jiqian walked back and forth a few steps, took a sip of tea, and said to himself: "Then let's have a plan." ”
Liu Keshi asked, "Dad, what plan?" ”
Liu Jiqian said: "We can send a witty and brave person to send a false message to Yeli Wangrong, and then ambush his army." ”
Liu Keshi has always felt guilty since he was kidnapped by Ye Limin, and as soon as he saw the opportunity to make meritorious contributions, he immediately said: "Dad, I'll go." ”
Liu Jiqian said: "This is not a joke, not only to be wise and brave, but also to be bold and careful, you are still young and inexperienced, and you can't complete the task but take your life, forget it." ”
Liu Keshi said eagerly: "Dad, although the child is not very old, but as the saying goes, people can't look good, and the sea can't fight, the child will definitely complete the task well, you just let me go!" Liu Jiqian saw that his son was so confident, so he agreed.
He quietly told Liu Keshi about the plan, and finally said: "Keshi, Yeli Wangrong is not easy to deceive, you must be calm, okay, you set off now." Liu Jiqian gave his long-handled broadsword to Liu Keshi.
Yang Huaide and Yang Huaixing said: "Uncle Liu, let's go together, but the world is too lonely!" ”
Liu Jiqian said: "One person is enough, I will arrange other tasks for you." ”
