132 Secret 1
"Golden Yang Secret Technique!" Yeleyi's eyes widened, "It turns out that this is a baby." Jinyang Secret Technique, Saren, have you seen it, it's Jinyang's secret technique. ”
Saren was puzzled and wondered, "What's so good about this?" ”
"Jinyang Secret Technique, legend has it that the people of the Jinyang Department can use this to control Gu worms and fierce beasts, and the last time Servant Lanno was able to kill the eldest prince of the Tuoba clan, it was to use the Jinyang Secret Technique to control the poisonous snake and bite him to death."
"That's amazing!" Saren also had a look of disdain that turned into exclamation, "This is the famous witchcraft." ”
"Don't underestimate it, the Jinyang Department can be the first to become the tribe that rules the grassland, and it can rule for hundreds of years, all thanks to this secret book. I heard that many secrets of the Jinyang Department are hidden inside. ”
Yeleyi has liked to study strange things since he was a child, and he is especially interested in the mysterious and extinct Jinyang. She had long wanted to study the Jinyang secret technique, and she thought that this secret technique would dissipate into the long river of history with the demise of the Jinyang Ministry. Unexpectedly, it was preserved by the ancestors of the Tuoba clan, and by chance, it fell into his own hands.
It's just that I got the cheats, but I don't know the words. Ye Leyi looked at the treasure in his hand wistfully, thought about it again and again, and finally made up his mind: "Saren, I plan to take it back to study." ”
When Saren heard this, he felt that his heartbeat was abnormal again. She hurriedly said, "Kedun, this is not good, this is stealing." ”
"Who said it was stealing?" Yereyi retorted, "I'm just going to take it back and see it, and when the Khan returns from the expedition, I'll return it, wouldn't it be good?" ”
"This ......" Saren couldn't refute Yereyi's words, as if ...... The master's words also make sense.
Yereyi rolled up the sheepskin and put it in his sleeve. Then he handed the ancient book, which was divided into two halves, to Saren, "You can mend it, at least, it looks like a book on the outside." ”
Saren took the ancient book depressedly and held it carefully with both hands. At this time, Ye Leyi found the secret technique of the golden sun, and finally left the Khan's dormitory satisfied.
Besides, on Tuoba Yan's side, the 40,000 army marched for three days and finally came to Wuping Pass.
Tuoba came in a hurry, didn't even drink a sip of water, and directly convened the generals to discuss the matter.
The second prince, General Kutulu, Abutai, Alem, and several lieutenant generals all gathered in the big tent of the Chinese army, trembling and waiting for the Khan's lecture.
However, victory and defeat are common things in soldiers, and this defeat has a reason, and it has nothing to do with the left and right generals. Tuoba Yan knew very well in his heart that it seemed that the great wizard's prophecy had come true, and Ji Zhong was fierce, and it was better to defend it, and it was really a disaster for Xiao Wall.
"I'll stop talking nonsense." Tuoba Yan propped up the table with his hands, stared at the map on the table with a frown, and asked without raising his head, "General Kutulu, tell me about the recent situation in Wupingguan." ”
"The spies I sent came to report that Wuping Pass has frequently changed guards and transferred troops recently, and it is estimated that their imperial army has increased its troops in Wuping."
"Good time." Tuoba Yan's eyes seemed to be lit with a raging flame, "This time we will fight a tough battle, raise my royal flag, and let the people of the Central Plains know that I Tuoba Yan is here." ”
"Yes!" Everybody takes orders. Since the Khan came, their group of people has a backbone.
Not only these generals, but also the ordinary soldiers below, after suffering a defeat, saw the Khan's personal conquest, and suddenly regained confidence and regrouped. They believed that the Khan was the messenger of the Chiwu Heavenly God, and with the Khan there, Xiang Qiang would win.
Tuoba Yan and several generals studied the strategy, how to attack the city, how to arrange the formation, and made detailed arrangements one by one. The second prince, Tuoba Ling, knows a lot about the Central Plains, and in this regard, he can be said to be a fish in water and handy.
This time, Tuoba Yan not only brought 40,000 soldiers, but also brought strong crossbows and cloud ladders for attacking Chu. These were seized from the Black Rock Division. At that time, their Danyang City was almost breached by these things, and now, Tuoba Yan's backhand was used on Nan Chu's head.
Tuoba Yan and the soldiers discussed until late at night, only to see the figures in the big tent of the Chinese army, the candlelight flickering, everyone did not show a tired look, unusually cautious and serious.
Qingyun has already been defeated once, and they will not allow it, and they will be defeated for the second time. All the generals are secretly holding their breath, they need a big victory, a shame.
At the same time, in Wuping Pass, Feng Rubing was also making the final deployment.
"It is reported that this time it is Xiang Qiang's Khan Tuoba Yan's personal expedition, and it is very likely that he has now arrived at Wuping Pass." Feng Rubing said to the generals sitting in a serious tone, "Their khan is just a young man under twenty years old, and he lacks actual combat experience, so you don't need to panic. ”
"General Feng, we don't have enough troops." An adjutant general said, "In addition to the 100,000 generals before Kutulu, the enemy soldiers also have 100,000 cavalry brought by the left and right generals. That's 200,000. And we, there are only fifty thousand. ”
The generals nodded one after another, and someone agreed: "Yes, the disparity in strength is too great, and I don't know how many men and horses their khan will bring." ”
Feng Rubing frowned, and said slowly: "A tough battle can't be avoided, I have asked Yongzhou for help again, and transferred their 50,000 soldiers and horses, and the imperial court will give us another 100,000 troops, adding up to a total of 200,000, which is enough." ”
During this time, in order to prevent the enemy from seeing that their troops were insufficient, Feng Rubing deliberately let the soldiers go to the city tower to change their defenses and move around, and often let people go to the city tower to beat drums to boost morale. Give the enemy a sense of momentum and momentum.
It was precisely because of this that General Khuttulu had no choice but to arrive at Alem and Abutai and did not attack for a long time. He couldn't figure out the situation of the enemy army, and wanted to wait for the khan to come.
So Xiang Qiang missed the fighter and dragged it to Yongzhou for support.
As for the imperial court, it was much more difficult for them to send troops. After the discussion of the Ministry of War, the meeting of the Great Dynasty, and the discussion between the Ministry of Household and the Ministry of War, 50,000 troops were put together from all over the country, and 50,000 forbidden troops were drawn from Yangcheng. 100,000 horses and horses with grain and grass rushed to Wuping Pass in a panic.
Of course, the generals of Wupingguan know the urine of the imperial court very well, and they don't expect reinforcements sent by the imperial court for ten days and half a month. Every time there was an incident at the border, General Feng Rubing first thought of asking for help from neighboring states and counties, and then reported to the imperial court and waited for rescue.
So for so long, the reinforcements from the imperial court have not been seen at all. All the generals present actually knew very well in their hearts that in fact, it was still 100,000 against 200,000, and the situation was worrying.
After Ye Leyi smuggled the parchment scroll that recorded the secret technique of the Golden Sun back to the dormitory, he began to study day and night what was recorded on it. She looked at this text, which was slightly similar to the current Xiangqiang script, and Ye Leyi guessed that it should be the ancient Xiangqiang script, that is, the script of the Jinyang Department back then.
Although Ye Leyi is proficient in three languages: Xiangqiang, Chishui, and Chinese characters. However, Jinyang's ancient writing has long been lost. Perhaps only by asking the slaves with the surname of Mulan, they might know.
It's just that if Ye Leyi takes the parchment roll and looks for the slaves of the Jinyang Department with a big grin, it will definitely arouse the suspicion of others. And even if they found it, they wouldn't tell Yereyi about their tribe's secret arts.
"What a headache." Ye Leyi just wants to hit the wall, is it possible for her to transcribe word by word and ask people separately? Yeleyi looked at the dense text written on the sheepskin, this amount seemed to be a bit large.
Ye Leyi took out the pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, and planned to copy it down first and send it to his father. King Yele Khan, who has studied the history of Xiang Qiang very much, may be able to understand a thing or two.
Sure enough, after King Yele received the small message, he was dumbfounded when he saw the content of Yeleyi's copy. He could see that this was a secret book left by the former Jinyang Ministry, which recorded the history of Jinyang, the secret art of Jinyang, the design of the Golden Palace, and the secret passage of the Golden Palace.
"Secret passage?" It was also the first time that King Yel Khan had heard that there was a secret passage under the Golden Palace. But although he could know a little more words than Yereyi, he still didn't know most of them. Fortunately, the Great Khan of Yele likes to collect some historical materials, and he compared the previously translated Jinyang texts, and guessed a little bit about what was written on the Jinyang Secret Technique.
The Great Khan of Yel locked himself in a large tent and studied it for two days and two nights, and at last he discovered the secret passage mantra recorded on it:
One, two, three, the door opens, and there are steps to go forward.
Eight-eight-eight, eight-way crossing, facing north, select the center.
When encountering a fork in the road, keep to the right, and when encountering a slope, do not walk.
Take the straight, get to the end, look up, there is a way out.
The mantra is only four sentences, very easy to remember, and catchy, as if it were an ordinary ballad for children. But no one would have thought that under this simple ballad, there is a huge secret.
King Yele Khan first translated this mantra and copied it down to the Flying Eagle to pass it on to Yeleyi, and as for the secret technique of the golden sun written on the parchment scroll, he still needs to ponder it slowly.
Yereyi received a reply from her father, and after reading it, she was also surprised. No wonder, Jimmy, like a thief, has been guarding the Khan's bedchamber. Yereyi didn't have to think about it, he could guess that the entrance to the secret passage must be in the Khan's dormitory.
When Yereyi took Saren to the Khan's chamber again, Saren felt like he had been tricked into a thief ship. Because she found that her master didn't rummage through the cabinets this time, she kept staring at the ground, knocking a few times here and stomping two feet there, as if she was going to poke a few holes in the ground of the Golden Palace.
Saren recalled his master's courage in destroying ancient books, and he was really afraid that his master would tear down the dormitory again this time. She asked worriedly, "What are you looking for?" ”
"Find a secret passage." Yereyi didn't intend to hide it from Saren either, after all, she needed help.
"Secret passage?" Saren yelled. Then he was glared at by Ye Leyi, and Ye Leyi hated iron and steel: "What are you doing so loudly, do you want everyone to hear?" ”
"I was wrong." Saren hurriedly covered his mouth, quietly came to Yeleyi, squatted down and asked in a low voice, "Kedun, is there really a secret passage in the Golden Palace?" ”
"Of course. I read it on the parchment scroll like that. Yereyi didn't tell her that it was the old saying that was deciphered by the Great Khan of Yele, but said, "It also records the mantra for entering the secret passage, 'One, two, three, the door opens.'" This sentence. ”
"One, two, three, the door open?" Saren thought for a long time and didn't understand, "What does this mean?" ”
"If I knew, I would still need to squat on the ground and knock bricks?" Yeleyi rolled her eyes, she also meditated all night, but she still didn't guess.
Since you can't guess it, it's better to go directly to the Khan's dormitory and explore it slowly. Anyway, the dormitory is so big, Yeleyi doesn't believe it, can she still find the entrance?
Yereyi thought that the secret passage was underground, and the entrance must also be underground. But I never expected that, in fact, it was on the wall.
So Yereyi took Saren and squatted on the ground and knocked on the bricks one by one for a long time, but he didn't find out which one was empty underneath.
