Chapter 123: Fast Horse Wind Word Camp
A drizzle of rain came unexpectedly, and the horses' hooves splashed muddy water on the muddy road, making the sound of Dada.
The people of Xiangtan watched from afar as this Xuanjia elite horse galloped by, their eyes were full of worry, it is said that the north of Dongting Lake has been killed into a sea of corpses and blood. Naturally, these people did not want their hometown to become a battlefield, and any sudden arrival of an army would be enough to make them fearful.
In the event of war, these small people have no choice, even though this is their homeland for generations. But it was never the unarmed villagers who decided the fate of their homeland.
When I came to Changsha City, it was already getting late, and the autumn rain made the sky darker than usual.
The defenders on the city of Changsha looked nervously at the soldiers and horses that suddenly came under the city, and they were at a loss. There were already small soldiers who panicked into the city and went to report to He Tengjiao. There was a great purge going on in Changsha City, and it was not He Tengjiao who pulled it by himself, but he detained it. The people in the city are panicked, and the origin of this army has to make people think about it.
Among Hou Xuanyan's personal guards, a burly man with a rough voice came out of the crowd. On the horse, he shouted loudly: "Wu Yuebo led his troops to aid Huguang, and there is an important military situation to talk to Governor He, open the city gate quickly!" ”
The defenders of the city said with a smile: "Please wait a moment, Uncle Wu Yue, we have already gone to ask the governor." ”
"Bastard! If you delay the military situation, can you afford to be guilty? ”
Hou Xuanyan raised his horsewhip, threw his coat under the horse, and said in a loud voice: "This governor led the troops to come, isn't this the city of the Ming Dynasty anymore?" Will you keep out the city the mighty remnants of my five thousand brethren? ”
The young generals in the city kept begging for mercy, but they didn't dare to open the city, Hou Xuanyan said: "Okay, here is a secret letter, you go and send it to Governor He Tengjiao quickly." After saying that, he handed it to the guards beside him, and the guards took out an arrow from the quiver and bent the bow to shoot it at the castle tower.
The little soldier pulled out the arrow, took the secret letter and hurried to the governor's office, and happened to meet He Tengjiao and his henchmen who rushed to him on the road. The three of them shared a car and were rushing to the city tower. Hou Xuanyan laughed and said to Xia Wanchun: "Our soldiers are coming to the city, He Tengjiao doesn't know anything. As the governor of a province, he hid in the city like a blind and deaf man. Such a person leads the army to fight, and if he can win, it is really anecdotal. ”
He Tengjiao took the secret letter from the window of the carriage, and after unfolding it, he was frightened at first glance.
Zhang Kuang hurriedly asked, "Brother Yun Cong, what did you say in the letter?" ”
He Tengjiao handed him the so-called secret letter, Zhang Kuang and Fu Shangrui looked together, and saw that it was written: Zheng Zhilong deceived the monarch, I am in Fuzhou, just like Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty in Xuchang. Wangqing took care of the righteousness of the monarch and the minister, and could-punished Zheng Zhilong with Hou Xuanyan to save me from fire and water.
Zhang Kuang lowered his voice and said, "I have long heard that Hou Xuanyan had the courage to go to Fuzhou alone, it turned out that it was for this big event. ”
Fu Shangrui's eyes rolled, and he said softly: "Will there be fraud in it?" ”
Zhang Kuang chuckled, feeling like Zhuge possessed, and said calmly: "Brother is too worried, even if Hou Xuanyan has great courage, there is no reason to privately make such a secret letter. I think it's a good opportunity to take advantage of. If you use it well, it can be worth 100,000 troops. ”
He Tengjiao turned his head, squinted at him, and asked, "Oh? What's the plan? ”
Zhang Kuang couldn't help but feel proud when he saw that He Tengjiao attached so much importance to himself, while Fu Shangrui could only listen with his ears pricked up on the side. The infighting among the literati in the Ming Dynasty has reached a small group of related weal and woe, and both of them have to fight.
"We can drive wolves and tigers, neither Hou Xuanyan nor Zheng Zhilong is a fuel-efficient lamp, as long as they lose both, we will come forward to bring His Majesty to Changsha, then the world will be in our hands." Only when we, the Qingliu, master the military and political affairs, can we drive out the Tartars, go on a northern expedition to the Central Plains, and recover our Han family. ”
He Tengjiao's face was red, his blood was surging, and his fair face was full of excitement.
"That's right, we have to deal with it carefully and find a way to make this Hou Xuanyan work for me."
Zhang Kuang was completely immersed in his own wisdom, and was impressed by his own resourcefulness, unable to extricate himself. He smiled indifferently: "Brother Yun Cong, don't worry, just a Hou Xuanyan, it is said that he is less than twenty years old, and a word in front of us is not enough to move his mind." ”
He Tengjiao nodded with satisfaction and said, "I have Brother Zhang, just like a tiger with wings, it's not very lucky!" ”
He turned around, beckoned his own soldiers through the curtain of the car, and said, "Quickly escort me to the city gate, I will personally go to the gate to meet Wu Yuebo." ”
When they came to the gate of the city, the three of them first climbed to the city tower and looked at it carefully. The soldiers and horses under the city were clearly armoured, and there were no braids at the back of their heads. The general on the tower of the city bent down and said: "These horses are indeed Hou Xuanyan, there is no doubt that the villain has seen them when he withdrew his troops from Yuezhou. This is one of the four battalions of Hou Xuanyan's Northern Expeditionary Army, the Fengzi Battalion. ”
Hou Xuanyan was drenched in the rain, his palm rubbing the scabbard, and the jade handle came with a hint of warmth.
The city gate slowly opened, and several personal soldiers held umbrellas and escorted the three adults out of the car. He Tengjiao, Zhang Kuang, and Fu Shangrui walked out of the city with a smile. The soldiers escorted them across the suspension bridge and shouted, "Where is Wu Yuebo?" Your Excellency the Governor greets you. ”
Hou Xuanyan waved his hand, signaling the Fengzi Camp not to move, and he and a dozen guards dismounted and walked forward together, with a kind smile on his face. He Tengjiao was even more relieved at first glance, he didn't even bring soldiers and horses into the city, which showed his sincerity. And at this time, although the officialdom of Nanming was infighting, there was no precedent for putting it into swords.
Hou Xuanyan looked ahead and asked in a low voice, "Who are these three He Tengjiao?" ”
Xia Wanchun leaned closer and said, "It must be the one who is headed in the middle." ”
Hou Xuanyan touched his nose and said: "There are still defenders in Changsha City, and this matter must be foolproof, so I would rather kill the mistake than let it go." After a while, a sharp charge cut off all three people's heads for me. ”
The palms of the soldiers beside him quietly stretched out to his waist, and seeing that the distance was close enough, Hou Xuanyan shouted: "Do it!" The guards spread out, revealing enough gaps for the cavalry behind
The galloping horses behind him came galloping, and He Tengjiao's personal soldiers saw the sudden change in the situation, and hurriedly drew their swords to protect them in the middle. It's just the impact of the cavalry, in fact, a group of guards can resist, and the horse's hooves are raised like a mustard. In the flash of light, the cavalrymen were already carrying three bloody human heads in their hands, and they still had shocked expressions on their faces.
Fengzi Camp lives up to its name.
