142 Yongzhou (1)
When Tuoba Yan learned about Feng Rubing's escape, it was already ten days later.
"What? Feng Rubing is gone? Tuoba angrily asked the soldiers, "How do you look at the detention, a big living person, who disappears if he doesn't see it?" ”
"The dereliction of duty of subordinates is the fault of subordinates." Where did the soldier dare to quibble in front of the enraged khan except to kneel down and admit his mistake?
Although Tuoba Yan was angry, he was not so angry that he lost his mind. He took a deep breath and asked, "Did you search after the fact?" ”
"After searching, Lord Qin asked us to block Danyang City and search door to door." "But nothing was found. ”
The second prince, Tuoba Ling, had been listening from the sidelines, and when he heard the three words of Lord Qin, he finally touched his sensitive nerves. He interjected, "Qin Luo? What did he say at the time? ”
"I can't see anything, it's still cold and indifferent, just let us step up inspections." The soldier replied.
Tuoba Yan glanced at the second brother, waved the soldiers back, and said to Tuoba Ling: "What, is it possible that you suspect that it is Qin Luo's prison?" He is a weak scholar, how could he get Feng Rubing? ”
"He may have accomplices." Tuoba Ling had long suspected that Qin Luo had helpers, and there was more than one person. Because the last time Qin Luo was able to evade the assassin's pursuit and fight back, these are what he can do as a weak scholar? ”
Moreover, if it was really Qin Luo's stolen military report that discovered the strategic target of the initial sneak attack on the two counties, then he would definitely need help. Otherwise, how could he get the military report alone?
It seems that the interveners in Danyang City are very hidden.
But Tuoba Yan no longer trusts his brother wholeheartedly. He warned: "Second brother, don't fight Qin Luo's idea anymore, I know in my heart, don't interfere in Qin Luo's affairs anymore." ”
Tuoba Ling had long known that his third brother would have such an attitude. Since Qin Luo's assassination, Tuoba Yan has suddenly become much more indifferent to his second brother.
Although Qin Luo didn't mean it, it more or less affected the relationship between their brothers. Unexpectedly, Tuoba Yan and Tuoba Ling survived the battle for succession, but because of a Chu person, they were unhappy.
Since ancient times, the descendants of the royal family have always fought for power, brothers, and intrigues. Tuoba Ling thought that he could enjoy the glory of a lifetime if he didn't fight or take it. When he saw that his eldest brother Tuoba was killed, he felt palpitations and secretly sighed that he did not participate in the seizure of the heir. But now, as a Xiang Qiang person, for Qingyun and Xiang Qiang, he also has to fight Qin Luo to the end.
Even if he is suspicious of his third brother, even if the brotherly relationship is no longer what it used to be.
Tuoba Ling didn't say anything more in front of his younger brother. It's just that after he went down, he asked the spy to continue to stare at Qin Luo's every move, and as soon as there was anything abnormal, he acted immediately.
"Action?" That spy doesn't understand, how to act?
Tuoba Ling said confidently: "I guess Feng Rubing was kidnapped by Qin Luo and them. They must send Feng Rubing out. As long as you see Qin Luo and Feng Rubing together, go up and take it down directly, the human and material evidence is there, when I see it, how can Qin Luo quibble. ”
"The master is clever." The secret agent really admired Tuoba Ling's bloodless tricks of killing people, and he really admired the five-body throw.
"Keep an eye on it, Qin Luo has a master by his side, you have to bring a few more people." Tuoba Ling instructed, "Also, the people who have been in contact with Qin Luo recently should also be kept an eye on. These people may be Qin Luo's comrades. ”
After Tuoba waited for them all to go down, in addition to chagrin, there were some regrets in his heart. He remembered that on the day the city was broken, Feng Rubing glared at him angrily, and without saying a word, he was about to commit suicide with his sword. Fortunately, Tuoba was quick and flicked his sword with a stone.
"He's going to kill himself, get him." Tuoba Yan immediately said to the left and right.
Seeing this, Feng Rubing immediately shouted: "Let go of me, the city is in the people, and the city is dead." ”
The translator repeated Feng Rubing's words to Tuoba Yan, who admired this person's character and persuaded him with good words: "This general is a hero." We in the grassland are the most hero-worshipping people. Why don't you abandon the darkness and turn to the light? ”
The translator translated Xiang Qiang again, and Feng Rubing scolded angrily after hearing it: "You want me to surrender, dream!" ”
Tuoba Yan didn't need to listen to the translation, but he could see the strong resistance on Feng Rubing's face. He asked again: "Dare to ask the hero, respect the name." ”
"You don't deserve to know." Feng Rubing turned his head, not wanting to say a word to Xiang Qiang's khan.
Tuoba Yan looked very generous, and did not think of it at all, but just waved his hand and asked the soldiers to take him down first. Of course, Tuoba Yan later learned Feng Rubing's name from other captives. I didn't expect this person to be the famous General Feng who guarded the border pass. Tuoba Yan was even more ecstatic, and at that time he made up his mind that he must influence this person and let Feng Rubing serve him.
It's just that before Tuoba Yan could make a move, Feng Rubing disappeared first.
Now in Danyang City, the whole city is under martial law, and the herdsmen who don't know the truth still think that something big has happened in Qingyun.
But fortunately, Qin Luo is a high-ranking official in Qingyun, so he is naturally not restricted by access. And Yeleyi, through the secret passage, is naturally unimpeded.
Therefore, the martial law in Danyang City did not affect Ye Leyi and Qin Luo to meet every day. They are still practicing martial arts and swords, so they are not leisurely.
Since discovering the secret passage, Yereyi has reverted to his man's attire. This made the people who followed Qin Luo from a distance feel a little weird. Because Yeleyi often changes his clothes, sometimes dressed as a businessman, sometimes into a chivalrous man, and sometimes as an uncle with a beard......
Every time Qin Luo saw Ye Leyi's strange makeup, he was always surprised, and he had to hold back a smile. Qin Luoxindao's disguise technique of Second Miss Yele, it is estimated that even the Great Khan King Yele can't recognize it.
Ye Leyi naturally noticed that someone was following Qin Luo, and even recently started to follow him. Fortunately, she is very responsive and her equestrian skills are also very superb, and the person who is following Yeleyi can't catch up with her at all, so how can she find out who this person is.
The second prince, who was far away in Wuping Pass, heard the news reported by his subordinates, and he was angry. The people under him said that Qin Luo would go to see people every day, but the people he saw were not the same people. Moreover, it was impossible to find out who Qin Luo saw was.
"What do I want you for!" Tuoba Ling was completely angry, and checked and checked, but nothing was found. Not to mention any good things such as finding Feng Rubing and getting stolen goods.
Tuoba Ling yelled at his subordinates: "Keep watching, keep investigating, I don't believe it, they have no flaws." ”
"My subordinates understand." The man wiped his cold sweat and quickly withdrew.
Tuoba Yan stayed at Wuping Pass for a few days, plundering grain and property in the area to replenish the army's grain and grass. After the team rested, Tuoba Yan continued to set off, targeting: Yongzhou!
The defenders of Yongzhou City have long been ready to meet the enemy. After Tuoba Yan captured Wuping Pass, even fools could guess that the next step would definitely be Yongzhou. As a result, the officials of Yongzhou evacuated the people and gathered soldiers and horses to strengthen the city's defenses. But after doing all this, the Yongzhou guard felt that it was still not enough, far from enough. Thinking about it, even the strong Wuping Pass and Tuoba Yan have been leveled, can the small Yongzhou City really withstand Xiang Qiang's 200,000 iron horses?
The officials of the Yongzhou state government and the generals who defended the city were uneasy. They waited anxiously for the arrival of war!
Tuoba Yan was in the Central Plains, as if entering a no-man's land, and went straight to Yongzhou with 200,000 horses. Along the way, the surrounding counties closed their gates, and they did not dare to meet the enemy at all, blocking the way of Tuobayan. When he arrived at the city of Yongzhou, Tuoba lazily looked at the ancient and mottled city in front of him, and was very disdainful in his heart.
The city wall is too low and dilapidated, and it is no different from Danyang City. Tuoba Yan firmly believed that his army could break through Wuping Pass, and there was nothing that could not be breached.
"Kill!" Tuoba Yan raised his scimitar, stopped talking nonsense, and went straight to war.
The fall of Yongzhou was expected by everyone. When Liu Changfeng told him about this bad news, Qin Luo did not have a trace of surprise. The famous generals of the Chu State withered, the morale of the soldiers was insufficient, and it was whimsical to be able to defend the city.
Liu Changfeng conveyed the words of the blacksmith Sun, and said to Qin Luo: "Uncle Sun said that we have to send General Feng back as soon as possible." The war is difficult, and it can't be done without General Feng. ”
But after Qin Luo heard this, he only said one sentence, "Danyang City is still under martial law." ”
"You are in control of the internal affairs of Danyang City, and you can lift martial law." Liu Changfeng said eagerly, "Qin Luo, hurry up and stop the search, let's send General Feng out." ”
"You think too simply, Danyang City is nominally in charge of me, but those old ministers of the Tuoba clan, as well as the patriarch Tuoba Sheng, they will all watch my every move. Without their consent, I would not have been able to lift martial law. ”
Liu Changfeng doesn't understand these political things, he is a martial artist and simple-minded. At that time, those who were under the command of blacksmith Sun were just running errands, performing light skills, stealing letters and other jobs. Now that Qin Luo is telling him this, he can't understand why Qin Luo is in charge of the government, and there are so many ties.
What's more, Qin Luo hasn't told Liu Changfeng that there may be people from the second prince secretly who are spying on him. Therefore, it is unwise to send General Feng away now.
Everyone was looking at Qin Luo, waiting for him to make a mistake. The more critical time he is, the more Qin Luo must be calm and must not act rashly.
But Liu Changfeng didn't understand, he accused: "Are you afraid of exposing yourself, so you look forward and backward like this?" General Feng is so important to the Chu State. When the rise and fall of the country is at stake, how can you only care about your own safety? ”
"You are wrong, I don't just care about myself, I am for General Feng's safety." Qin Luo didn't have the slightest anger to be blamed, but said to Liu Changfeng calmly, "Do you know that the enemy is secretly waiting for us to make a move right now." Once General Feng appears now, what awaits the general is the sword and sword. ”
"But...... Central Plains ...... "Liu Changfeng remembers that he doesn't know what to say, Central Plains is embarrassed, can they only watch and be helpless?"
"Tuoba is in a hurry to conquer the city, just to persecute us and make us in chaos." Qin Luo reassured, "Don't worry, I will think of a way to let General Feng go back as soon as possible." ”
