In the darkness of the night, a group of soldiers galloped to the city gates, raised their heads and shouted, "Open the door!" Open the door! ”

Someone in the city replied, "You were sent back by King Wu?" ”

Listening to the voice of a woman, the soldiers glanced at each other, and their hearts were much more steady, it seems that the news is right, there are really no guards in the eastern capital, only some women are left to guard the door.

"Yes, King Wu sent us back to pick up things, King Wu is in a hurry, we have to leave immediately."

The people in the city complained: "Why did King Wu lose three and four, the last batch of people has not left, and another batch of ...... I will hang the basket down, do you have the arrows of King Wu? ”

"Yes." The soldier replied, turning his head to look at King Ning beside him.

King Ning's soldiers dressed up, lowered their heads, and did not let the people above recognize their true faces, and whispered: "Don't listen to her, even if King Wu sends people back, there are not many, let's take the city gate first, and beckon the people behind to enter the city, the eastern capital is ours." ”

The soldiers nodded, believing King Ning's judgment.

The basket slowly drooped, and the soldier clapped his horse forward and put the forged arrow into it.

In order to infiltrate the eastern capital, Ning Baoguan had already prepared Wu Wang's arrows, seals and other things, and even asked people to imitate King Wu's handwriting to write a piece of order, although each of them was not too fine, but it was enough to blind the women guarding the city.

The soldier shouted "Okay", and the basket was slowly lifted, as if it was loaded with a thousand catties of heavy objects, Ning Baoguan waited impatiently, and whispered: "King Wu is really desperate, and he will take away all the women who have a little strength?" Those who were left behind could not even carry a basket. ”

A soldier said flatteringly: "If Mrs. Ning Wang is here, one finger is enough." ”

Ning Baoguan looked at the soldier coldly, the soldier hurriedly lowered his head, regretting that he was too talkative, King Ning never mentioned that he wanted to save his wife, he didn't open which pot he didn't mention.

The basket disappeared into the city, but there was no answer from it, and it did not open the door.

The leading soldier glanced back at King Ning and urged loudly: "Hurry up and open the door, who will be responsible for the big incident of King Wu?" ”

"Little brother, don't worry, we have to find someone to recognize the words on the arrow."

Ning Baoguan coughed, and the soldier said: "There is only one word 'order' in total, is it so difficult to recognize?" ”

"I'm sorry, I know the words 'Wang', 'One', and 'Ding', and I don't know the words on your arrow."

Ning Baoguan personally opened his mouth and shouted: "You don't know how to read, don't the people around you know how to read?" Illiterate, how did the people sent back by King Wu enter the city before? ”

"Who says I can't read a word? I obviously recognize the three, and the people who came back before are honestly waiting, and they are not in such a hurry as you...... Your voice sounds familiar, isn't it? Do you recognize my husband Wang Yiding? ”

For the woman knew only her husband's name.

There are many soldiers in the world, Ning Baoguan remembers so much, and was about to say that he didn't know him, but Luo Hanqi behind him sighed and said loudly: "I'll just say how come you only recognize these three words, it turns out that it is from Wang Yiding's family." Sister-in-law, do you recognize my voice? ”

"Kind of familiar, you're ......"

"Wang Yiding's boss, Lao Jiugong, is my sworn brother, and I am Luo ...... Old Seven. ”

"Oh, I've heard of it, I may have seen it, but I can't remember it."

Luo Hanqi's confirmation is Wang Yiding, but "Luo Laoqi" is his name casually made, "Sister-in-law, they are all acquaintances, open the door quickly, King Wu is urging tightly, if we make a mistake, we will be punished when we go back." ”

The woman said: "Don't worry, the people who can read will arrive soon, and the king of Wu has also given us a death order, and no one dares to disobey it." Is my husband okay? He was anxious and righteous, and he took the lead in rushing forward every time he fought, and when he came home, he was injured, and I had to take care of him. ”

"The battle hasn't been fought yet, Wang Yiding is fine."

"What about Wang Erding? My brother-in-law is even more of a temper tantrum. ”

"Wang Erding is fine, he can eat and sleep."

"Well, a silly boy, a person in his twenties, is not in a hurry to marry a daughter-in-law, he wants to grab a beauty. His brother is a boss anyway, he is a minion, and even if there are beautiful women, it will not be his turn. Brother Luo Qi, do you have any suitable relatives? Let's get married, the dowry is as you like, don't go too far. ”

"Not really, but I can ask you. Sister-in-law, be accommodating, open the door first, it's not a violation of the order for a while. ”

"The literate ones are coming, wait a minute. It's really not good, and it's okay to snatch the girl, I don't want to look good, but I have to be honest and responsible, and the Gu family can work. ”

"Okay, I'll ask you."

The two of you are chatting word by word, Ning Baoguan listened anxiously, but he couldn't stop drinking, and secretly made up his mind in his heart that after taking the city, he would be the first to kill the long-tongued woman in the city.

After chatting a few more words, Luo Hanqi said: "Sister-in-law, you can open the door, it doesn't take so long to recognize a word." ”

"Open the door, open the door. You men, you are all in a hurry, and when you get to the battlefield, can you pay it back? King Wu is happy, and the family is going to cry......"

The woman chattered, and the gates finally opened.

The leading soldiers stepped aside and gave the glory of the first one to enter the city to King Ning.

Ning Baoguan was already impatient, as soon as the city gate sounded, he drove forward, the city gate opened a crack, he sped up, but only ran a few steps, suddenly felt that something was wrong, reined in the horse, and then understood that there was no light in the city gate.

They were attacking the city, of course, without torches, but there was no reason for the people in the city to open the door in the dark.

Thinking of this, Ning Baoguan turned around and wanted to escape, but when he heard a whoosh, an arrow shot out of the city gate, Ning hugged and lay down, but he was still a step too late, and there was a sharp pain in his shoulder, and he ran away.

The soldiers of the Ning army were all taken aback, and ran along, Luo Hanqi was the most annoyed, ran out of a distance, turned his head and shouted: "Wang Yiding's family, you are too unrighteous, you actually lied to me!" ”

The woman at the head of the city said: "Don't blame me, the order of the king of Wu: I want to order arrows, and the people under the city will give the white paper for the seal, I will give the seal, and the people under the city will give ......"

Another arrow shot out from the city gate, and Luo Hanqi hurriedly crouched on his horse to chase after King Ning, panicking in his heart, if King Ning had any case, they would be miserable.

A few miles away, Ning Baoguan stopped, ordered someone to break the exposed arrow shaft, and gritted his teeth and said, "King Wu really set a trap. The archery man just now has good arm strength, he must not be a woman, you ask me, I must know who it is, he and King Wu are my lifelong enemies! ”

King Ning didn't die, Luo Hanqi breathed a sigh of relief, "It's my fault for letting a woman play around." ”

Although Ning Baoguan was ruthless, he did not shirk his responsibility, "It has nothing to do with you, it's my carelessness." Since King Wu is prepared, we can only give up the eastern capital and set up troops to Jiangdong early tomorrow morning. Sooner or later, I will avenge this arrow. ”

The soldiers had long wanted to go back to Jiangdong, and when they heard King Ning's words, although they didn't dare to cheer, their faces showed joy.

Luo Hanqi is not a Wu person, he has no attachment to Jiangdong, he only cares about one thing, after going on the road, taking advantage of the lack of people before and after, he caught up with King Ning and whispered: "What about grain and grass?" We'll last three days at most. ”

"There must be a road before the car reaches the mountain." Ning Baoguan gritted his teeth and said, he was now enduring the pain, full of anger, and he really didn't have the heart to think about the matter of food and grass.

Joining up with the cavalry who were ambushed ten miles away, Ning Baoguan returned to the camp with his wounds, and in order to stabilize the morale of the army, he dismounted and inspected the circle before entering the tent and looking for someone to treat the wounds.

A lot of blood flowed, but the injury was not fatal, and the more Ning Baoguan thought about it, the angrier he became, "Call Guo Shifeng." ”

Guo Shifeng quickly arrived and bowed to King Ning.

Ning Baoguan glanced at him a few times, and said word by word: "Drag it out and cut it." ”

Two soldiers stepped forward to arrest people, Guo Shifeng was startled, the first thought was that he had let go of a chance and did not escape with Fei Xin, and the second thought was how to protect himself.

"King Ning doesn't want Jiangdong anymore?" Guo Shifeng said loudly.

"You tricked me into the trap of King Wu, and after all, you refused to be used by me, what good is it for you?"

The two soldiers dragged people, Guo Shifeng struggled hard, "Wronged, it was not my idea to attack Dongdu by surprise, King Ning wants to offend others, who will dare to come to defect in the future?" Who would dare ......"

Guo Shifeng was dragged out of the tent, he was really scared, his face was like earth, his legs were weak, he couldn't stand up, he just shouted "wronged" vigorously.

One soldier pressed the person, the other soldier drew his sword, and just raised it, the voice of King Ning came from the tent: "Bring it in!" ”

Guo Shifeng was carried in, sitting on the ground and trembling.

Ning Baoguan smiled, "A person like you who is greedy for life and afraid of death will not earn me for King Wu." I believe you. ”

Guo Shifeng tried to squeeze out a smile, "King Ning...... Really understand people's hearts. ”

"Get up."

Guo Shifeng tried, "King Ning, let me sit on the ground for a while." ”

Ning Baoguan pointed to the freshly bandaged wound on his shoulder: "If you don't experience a few lives and deaths, you won't go through this troubled world." Although Mr. Guo is a strategist, he should also experience it. ”

"Thank you King Ning, I can kind of experience it."

"As soon as the morning dawns, you go to Jiangdong with me, if you can successfully capture Stone City, the first credit belongs to you, I promise you to plunder for a day before the generals, and you will take all the people and money."

"King Ning is too generous."

"You can go and ask, I'd rather hug Guan ever covet a little money? Of course, good things should be distributed to those who have merit. Now you can elaborate on the strategy. ”

Guo Shifeng had already thought about it, he was scared just now, he forgot most of it, and after thinking for a while, he regained some strength, stood up, sorted out his clothes, and arched his hand: "King Ning will change his flag from now on, and from then on he will call himself the 'Qinhuang Army'......"

"No problem, but I'm short of food and grass now, you can find a way for me."

Guo Shifeng said with a smile: "It's good to say, King Ning sent cavalry to drive forward, and every time he arrived in a city, he collected grain in the name of the Tiancheng Imperial Court." ”

"Will they give it?"

"King Ning does not ask for food, but levies grain, and puts up multiple flags to show that the soldiers are coming to the city, and if he does not give food, he will make a siege posture, and he will leave immediately after giving food, regardless of how much."

"Isn't this what you do?"

"The dog-beating stick in the hand of the caller is not as effective as the tens of thousands of soldiers under the command of King Ning."

Guo Shifeng casually exaggerated the numbers, and Ning Bao was concerned about it, "Just keep asking for food, and you want to go to Jiangdong?" ”

"I want to take Jiangdong, but I need a quick word, send someone to Stone City to meet the emperor, and only ask for a paper appointment, King Ning ......"

Someone outside asked to see him, and Ning hugged Guan and said, "I understand, I'll talk about it later." ”

A dusty soldier entered the tent, "I heard that the person who shot and injured King Ning was a Tian craftsman from the Eastern Capital." ”

"The one who assassinated Song Xingju?"

"Yes."

"Hey, I really have some skills. You're quick to inquire. ”

"King Wu has returned to the eastern capital, the city gates are open in all directions, and many people are in and out, just ask."

"The gates are open? People come and go at will? ”

"Well, it's all open, come and go at will, it is said that King Wu didn't bring many people back, and the army is still fighting with the Jingzhou army."

Ning Baoguan was already a frightened bird, and stood up, "Don't wait for dawn, let's go!" ”

Guo Shifeng stepped aside, thinking that he really had to make a great contribution before he had the face to return to King Wu.
