Chapter 10 The sword points to Qingzhou
Guan Yu sat on a big bluestone, and Miss Ling'er leaned on his chest, closing her eyes slightly, and her body was completely devoid of the domineering spirit of the fight, but like a well-behaved lazy cat. Guan Yu lowered his head and seriously fiddled with Chen Ling'er's two plump and tender little hands, he wondered how such small and cute hands could have the power to kill people. The sunset stretches the shadows of the two people for a long time, forming a beautiful silhouette.
"You still insist on going back to Yunkong Mountain?" Guan Yu asked in a low voice.
Chen Ling'er still closed her eyes slightly, nodded slightly, and said, "No matter what, Mrs. Shi is kind to me." You bad guy has made her angry like that again, and I'm going to go back and make amends to her and take care of her for some time. ”
Guan Yu tilted his head, gently rubbed Chen Linger's delicate little ears with his stiff stubble chin, and asked with grievance, "Then when will you come back to me?" We're about to go to war with the Tiger Battalion. ”
Chen Ling'er raised her hand and gently pushed his chin away, still reluctant to open her eyes, and said softly: "When the master recovers, with the consent of her old man, I will go to find you." ”
Guan Yu hurriedly said: "Then what if she doesn't agree with you to go to me?" ”。
A wicked smile flashed on Chen Ling'er's face, and said, "Then I'll stay in Yunkong Mountain all the time, and come to see me when you miss me." If you don't come to see me for too long, I'll be ordained. ”
Banner hunting, bright armor; Swords and guns dazzled, and war horses neighed.
The soldiers of the Red Turban Army, who were ready to go, were in high spirits and lined up in several neat phalanxes, silently waiting for the order to go out.
Guan Yu, dressed in brand-new silver armor, held a spear in his hand, wore a white robe on his shoulders, and a horse with black and translucent fur on his crotch, standing heroically at the forefront of his team. The three deputy generals behind him are also full of energy and heroic. On the left is Zhang Baiqian who is carrying a gun, in the middle is Cui Dakui who is carrying a stick, and on the right is Du Zhongnian who is holding a knife.
Liu Qian, the commander of the Red Turban Army, with a golden helmet and golden armor on his shoulders, rode a red horse and quickly passed the front of the team, silently inspecting the strong generals under his command. Suddenly, he pulled out his bull-eared knife, raised it high, the tip of the knife pierced the sky, and said loudly: "Brothers, come and do not be rude! Today we will go out of the Snow Wolf Pass and set foot in Qingzhou Mansion! ”。
The soldiers who were pressed by the black pressure raised their blades at the same time and responded in unison: "Soldiers out of Snow Wolf Pass, horses set foot in Qingzhou Mansion!" The loud roar shook the heavens and startled a flock of birds in the woods not far away. The birds flapped their wings at great speed, and soon flew farther and farther, turning into a cluster of black dots in the clear sky, and finally disappeared.
The head of the military department hurriedly came to Lord Dazai, bowed down and saluted: "My lord, the military situation is urgent, five days ago, the Red Turban bandits came out of the Snow Wolf Pass, went straight to Qingzhou, and captured the capital of Bozhou the next day. The Tiger Camp Zhongguo Gong asked the DPRK to send troops to take advantage of the situation and cut off his back road. ”
Dong Dazai asked unhurriedly, "How is the team trained by General Yan?" ”
"Your Excellency, General Yan has only been training recruits for more than a month. He once told the lowly that these recruits were not allowed to go to the battlefield for half a year. ”
Dazai-sama nodded and said, "Well, let General Yan train with peace of mind." replied to the loyal prince, and said that the prime minister was mobilizing troops and horses from all over the country to help, but it would take some time to assemble, so he could concentrate on dealing with the bandits. ”
Lord Shangshu was about to retire, but was stopped by Dazai-sama: "Wait." ”
Lord Shangshu asked, "What else does Dazai-sama command?" ”
Dazai-sama turned around, frowned, and said, "No, even if the Red Turban Bandit is a divine soldier descending from the sky, it is impossible to capture a prefecture in one day!" ”。
Lord Shangshu was stunned when he heard this, and replied: "Your Excellency is reasonable, and my subordinates will send someone to investigate in detail." ”
Dazai-sama waved his hand and told him to step back.
In fact, not only Dazai-sama was puzzled, but even the Seki Yu Division, who had already occupied the city, couldn't figure it out. Guan Yu led a large group of men and horses to rush to the city of Bozhou, preparing to fight a difficult battle. Suddenly found that the four gates of Bozhou City were open, and the door of my house was often opened, and the posture of welcoming people to come in at any time was even stranger, and the defenders were not found.
Guan Yu was stunned at the time, what is this going to play? Empty city plan? He sent people to reconnoitre, but they did not find an ambush. A small force of men and horses was carefully sent into the city, and no resistance was encountered. After several successive attempts, Guan Yu led a large group of men and horses into the city, but he was still not surrounded by a large number of people and horses in the imaginary tiger camp, and Guan Yu was also puzzled.
The mystery lies in one person, that is, General Feng Yong, the general who defended the city---. When General Feng heard the report from his subordinates that the Red Turban soldiers had left the Snow Wolf Pass and were coming in the direction of Bozhou City, his muscles suddenly tensed all over his body. Standing on the high tower, seeing the dense banners of the Red Turban Army and the yellow dust rolled up by the brigade from a distance, without consulting anyone, almost reflexively gathered all the defenders, and decisively fled from the city gate in the opposite direction from which the Red Turban Army came, he resolutely did not intend to leave the other party any chance to attack him.
It can be seen how seriously a long life of escape can cause to the fragile mind of a general, and too much experience of escaping will form a terrible habit. General Feng Yong used decisive action to make an almost perfect annotation of the four words "fleeing from the wind".
When Guan Yu led his troops to enter the city cautiously after many temptations, General Feng Yong, who had already run for dozens of miles, suddenly reined in his war horse. Like an intoxicated person suddenly sobering up, he suddenly came back to his senses: No, this is not the territory of the Red Turban bandits, but the world of my Tiger Camp! There's no need for me to abandon the city without firing an arrow, and the consequences of doing so might be straight out of my head! But what now? Then lead the troops back to attack the city? That only proves that he was kicked in the head twice by a donkey!
General Feng, who came to his senses, broke out in a cold sweat, and he ordered his subordinates who were running around with him for some reason to stop and set up camp on the spot. General Feng Yong, who had regained his senses, drove his horse to survey the surrounding environment and geographical location, and he quickly made up his mind: perhaps only through a beautiful ambush could he cover up the fact that he had fled without a fight and get through the confusion.
"Thor" Gao Jinbao is not in a good mood. On the way back to the base camp, he abolished the guard of honor and switched to horseback riding. After returning to the base camp, he was even more annoyed, because he had persistently persuaded the Qin mission group to surrender and did not leave, so he had to wait to see him. After eating what they had brought, these people began to consume the grain and grass of the Taiping army again. "Thor" quit, although these people were small in number and their consumption was quite limited, but he felt that he had no obligation to feed them idlers.
Therefore, Gao Jinbao cordially met with the members of the Qin mission and initially expressed his sincerity in submitting to him. Overjoyed, the Qin mission sent a fast horse overnight to deliver a report to the imperial court that the work of persuading surrender was progressing smoothly. However, before the fast horse arrived in the capital, an accident occurred in the Qin mission. On a dark and windy night, the official residence where the Qin Mission was staying accidentally caught fire, and the doors and windows were unexpectedly unable to open. Therefore, all the members of the Chincha were killed in the fire without accident.
Immediately afterwards, Gao Jinbao sent a fast horse to submit a petition to the imperial court overnight, in which he wept bitterly and admitted that the Taiping army's poor hospitality and negligence caused an accident that should not have happened to the Qin mission, and asked the imperial court to severely punish him.
The Great Qi court neither condemned the crime nor replied to the letter to appease, the matter was settled, and the recruitment of the Taiping army was temporarily suspended.
The pale-faced Yunni Shitai slowly sat up with the support of the two female nuns, looked at Chen Ling'er who was kneeling at her feet with complicated eyes, and was silent for a long time.
"Tell me honestly, are you already familiar with that Langzhong? How did you get back? Mrs. Yun finally asked.
Chen Ling'er kowtowed and said: "Back to Shitai, Ling'er was in danger of being hit by an arrow, and his life was saved by him. That Lang Zhong is not the real Lang Zhong, he is a general in the Red Turban Army, but Ling'er has known him earlier. ”
Master Yun Ni snorted: "He saved your life, you helped him get out of trouble, and you don't owe each other." If you can come back, it shows that you still have some filial piety, and I won't punish you as a teacher. It's just that you have to promise your teacher that you will never meet that thief again in this life, and if you really meet him, you will take his life! Can you do it? ”
Chen Ling'er lowered her eyebrows, worried in her heart, and didn't know how to answer for a while.
Knowing that Bozhou had fallen, Yang Mingyi, the Duke of Zhongguo, was furious, and immediately convened all the civil and military forces to discuss countermeasures.
He pointed at Jiang Shoufu's nose and scolded: "At the beginning, you also suggested that this prince should be wronged, but now it's good, the red turban thieves have all hit our door, what else do you have to say?!" ”。
Jiang Qiliang was sweating profusely, and hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed: "So far, the criminal has nothing to say." Our army can only go all out and break the net with the red turban bandits! It's just that --- Bozhou City was lost too quickly, which is very strange. ”
Nie Yunniang stepped forward, hugged her fists and said: "The last general is willing to lead a sentry to recapture Bozhou, kill all the bandits, and avenge Shilong!" ”。
Yang Mingyi calmed down his anger and nodded: "When life and death are at stake, the deputy leader can still share the worries of this centimeter!" Avenging the world dragon is also the wish of this father. ”
He turned his head and said loudly: "The order will go down, and my army will be divided into three ways to form a siege of Bozhou City." I have explained the situation to the Imperial Court, and Dazai-sama has promised to send the best soldiers from all over the country to attack the lair of the Red Turban Bandits from behind, so that they will not be able to take care of each other, so that the bandits will not return, and completely annihilate them! ”。
Jiang Qiliang reminded: "Grandpa Guo, the words of the imperial court may not be reliable!" ”。
Yang Mingyi glared at him and ignored him. said loudly: "Order the troops immediately, set off early tomorrow morning, and my father will personally cheer for you!" ”。
All the generals clasped their fists in unison and hurriedly retreated.
A life-and-death contest has really kicked off.
