There is silence at the head of the city, because it has passed the lock hour, so the gate is closed, the smoke curls in the city, and the sound of dogs barking is heard from time to time, everything seems to be the same as usual, not far from the outside of the city, on the edge of a wood, more than ten riders are standing still and looking at the city.

"Team leader, there aren't many people on the wall, it seems to be the same as usual." One soldier said, and several people around him nodded silently.

"These birdmen are pretending to be ghosts? Or do you think that Xiaochang City has been eaten, so you relax and sleep? Lu Jie looked at the head of the city and muttered to himself, just now they rested a few miles away from the city for a while, and then continued to move forward, all the way to the woods, there was no danger, and they saw that the city of Pengyue did not look like it was being defended by traitors, and they were a little puzzled.

"If you want me to say it, I must be pretending to be crazy and stupid, so that people who come and go think that everything is normal in the city, and when they enter the city, they will rush up and take it left and right!" Some people speculated like this, and others retorted when they heard this, saying that now that the doors are closed, where are you going to find someone to give the other party 'a left and right rush up and take down', and the other party's garrison looks very ordinary, not at all like facing a great enemy.

A few people discussed and discussed to determine that the rebels in Pengyue City were paralyzed, and the other party must have thought that the county Shoutian would definitely succeed in attacking Xiaochang City, so their defense was lax, so their opportunity came!

The cavalry that followed had already entered the woods, and Lu Jie looked at the nearly 100 subordinates and had a bold plan in his heart: pretending to be the cavalry sent by Tian Kai to report the news, he deceived the city gate, and as long as he held on for a while, the follow-up comrades could take the opportunity to rush into the city.

"It's dinner time, and those birdmen are about to eat, where do they want me to open the city gate and kill in?" Lu Jie tried to persuade his subordinates to take this risk.

He thought that the other party seemed to be very weakly guarded, and it seemed that the Yuzhou army should not have entered the city yet, and as long as his nearly 100 cavalry rushed in, the mastermind clicked, and the remaining soldiers were about to scatter the sand. Therefore, as long as it is affirmed that Tian Kai's attack on Xiaochang fails, and the counterinsurgency army arrives subsequently, the situation will basically be stabilized.

As long as nearly 100 of their own men hold out overnight, everything is a foregone conclusion until the army arrives tomorrow, and it is impossible for the other party to repeat it. There will be a reward for such great achievements. Xu Zhijun rewards and punishes clearly, and he will definitely not be treated badly, even if he unfortunately dies in battle, he will have a settlement for the old and young in the family with his pension.

"Well, it's a big risk, and there's a lot of credit." The more Lu Jie spoke, the more excited he became, the opportunity to make great contributions was in front of him, as long as he was careful, the casualties would not be too big, of course, if the situation was not good, they would be able to escape if they had horses.

The autumn breeze swept through the woods, the fallen leaves were colorful and dusty, the sunset was almost sinking into the West Mountain, the sky was gradually darkening, I don't know how long it took for more than ten horses to appear on the official road outside the woods, and galloped away to the north of the Yueyue City, which was close at hand.

Lu Jie led his subordinates in the woods and nervously watched the backs of the dozen or so horsemen, and the remaining dozens of people were already waiting for his signal behind the woods. When approaching the city before, in order to avoid dust, the defenders saw that they were all riding horses and slowly came to the woods, so it was impossible for the other party to notice, as long as the dozen or so comrades controlled the city gate, they rode their horses and rushed over, and it didn't take long to kill the other party by surprise.

Before leaving, Lu Jie promised in front of everyone that if they failed to earn the gate this time, even if they were unfortunately killed, the robes would definitely be used as a bereavement and not less to be handed over to their families.

The dozen or so people rode their horses to approach the city gate, and the hearts of Lu Jie and the others almost rose to their throats, and now it is dusk, it stands to reason that if there is no emergency military situation, the officers and soldiers defending the city can not open the door, and if they can't get the tokens, official documents and other certificates, they will even be shot on the spot as thieves.

At this time, even if he is riding a horse, but it is too close to the city, it will take time to turn the horse's head and leave, and it is to leave the back to the other party, as long as the archers are not blind, basically there are no arrows, and now the defenders of Pengyue have rebelled, as long as one is not properly dealt with, let them peek into the flaws, then these dozen people are afraid that there will be no return.

"God forbid, open the door, open the door" Lu Jie muttered as he looked at the vague city gate. He saw that his men had come to the city gate, and the lanterns were lit at the top of the city, and it seemed that several people were leaning out. It looked like it was cross-examination.

A few people next to him also held their breath, and they didn't even dare to come out of the atmosphere, all of them stared at the city gate, and in an instant, it seemed that the surroundings were quiet, and only the blurred city gate was left in the field of vision.

I don't know how long it took for there to be movement at the city gate, the gate slowly opened, and seeing his comrades rushing towards the city suddenly, Lu Jie got up excitedly and ran back: "Quick! Fast! Rush in! ”……

At night, the camp tents by the water are continuous, and the Anzhou army from Xiaochang is camping, which is a higher place and is also next to the official road, so there is no need to worry about the heavy water in the middle of the night, and it is also convenient to camp and pull out the camp.

In a big tent, Xu Faguang, the assassin of Yuezhou, was reading a book by candlelight, and a medical officer was next to him to help him change the dressing on his right shoulder, and when he was attacked today, the situation was urgent, Xu Faguang just hastily treated the wound, and then commanded the counterinsurgency, and after the situation was controlled, he didn't have to take a breath, so he led the state soldiers to gather with the reinforcements sent by An Lu to go north to recover Pengyue, and the wounds were tossed one after another, and some bursts, just now that the camp has time, Xu Faguang asked the medical officer to change the dressing and bandage again.

The soldiers are fast, the county of Pengyue rebelled, and the Baiyan Pass in the north of it is unpredictable, so it is necessary to recover the Yueyue before the Yuzhou army goes south, and then immediately go north, if the Baiyan Pass is still in their own hands, it is best if it has been lost, then the Yueyue County is the forefront of the resistance to the Yuzhou army.

"Tian Kaiyue" Xu Faguang frowned and repeated these two words, as an assassin and his subordinates rebelled, but he didn't find out the news beforehand, which was considered a dereliction of duty, so he had to do it himself in the next rebellion.

Xiaochang to Pengyue journey about eighty miles, the normal march to two days, naturally can not be so procrastinated, the rapid march only one day, but after arriving at the city, the soldiers are afraid that they will be tired, and there will be ambushes on the halfway, so they can only explore and walk, to camp overnight in the middle of the road, and the next day to leave the baggage to hurry, and strive to be able to arrive at noon.

A soldier reported outside the tent that the cavalry sent out to spy had returned to the camp to declare that there was an urgent military report, and Xu Faguang let the other party enter the account when he heard this, and when the army set out, he sent a group of cavalry to open the way and ordered that if the road was unhindered, he would rush to the outside of the city to investigate the enemy's situation.

Xu Faguang silently calculated the time in his heart, these cavalry were about to arrive in Pengyue, and he didn't know if it was bad news that he brought back, and the footsteps outside the tent sounded, and then the door curtain was lifted, and a soldier walked into the tent under the guidance of others.

As soon as the soldier came in, he told him that something had happened. Xu Faguang smiled bitterly and said that he knew that there was an accident in Pengyue, and you don't need to repeat it. Specific military information, such as the number of enemy troops. How the city defense is going is what you have to report.

"Returning to the envoy, we have entered the city of Pengyue, and found that everything is as it was and there is no rebellion!"

When Xu Faguang heard this, he slapped the bookcase, and several armor soldiers suddenly rushed out on both sides of the case and pressed the soldier to the ground, he looked at this person and sneered and said: "It's so bold, you dare to come back to visit this official!" ”

Didn't Tsukaku rebel? That's impossible! So many clues point to the rebellion of Peng Yue, otherwise the county guard Tian Kai would not have led people south to attack Xiaochang!

He judged that the soldier in front of him was attacked and surrendered with the team to Pengyue, and the enemy sent him back to make the army relax their vigilance, and finally attacked the camp in the middle of the night, or delayed time.

"Envoy! What the little one said is true!" The soldier struggled desperately, he said that he and several comrades rushed back on the orders of the team leader Lu Jie, and told him that he was not lying, Xu Faguang knew that Lu Jie was a reliable person and would not surrender, so he asked him if he came back with a code word.

The soldier said the secret words, and Xu Faguang couldn't help but be stunned. This code word is indeed the agreement between him and Lu Jie, in order to prevent Lu Jie from falling into the hands of the enemy, he can't stand the torture to extract a confession, and specially set the yin and yang password, and there is only two words between the two.

"You say, you say what the hell is going on!"

When the soldier saw Xu Faguang asking, he told the matter in detail from beginning to end: he followed dozens of comrades, under the leadership of the team leader Lu Jie, to ride a horse to the Yueyue rapid march, there was no danger along the way, and when he arrived outside the city, he found that the garrison was much more lax than expected, and Lu Jie sent someone to pretend to be the county Shoutian Kai's subordinates to earn the city gate, and then the group rushed in.

"Rushed in? And then what! Xu Faguang couldn't help but get nervous when he heard this.

"After rushing into the city for a while, I confronted the defense lord of Zhuyue who led the troops, and after scolding for a long time, I found that they didn't know about Tian Kai's rebellion!"

Before Xu Faguang came back to his senses, the soldier continued: The defense lord of Peng Yue only knew that Tian Kai went south to Xiaochang today to do 'urgent official business', so they falsely claimed that Tian Kai's subordinates returned to the city when the gatekeeper didn't think so much about opening the door, and later when the two sides met and scolded each other, they knew that Tian Kai assassinated Xu Faguang and attacked the city.

"The other party thought that we were sent by the Yuzhou Army to steal the city, so in order to prove my innocence, I specially took the Lu team leader to walk around the city, and the team leader didn't find anything abnormal and specially asked me to wait a few to rush back to report the news."

"When Tian Kai went south, he brought his own cronies, and the rest of the county soldiers did not mobilize a single soldier."

"It's impossible, it's impossible!" Xu Faguang was stunned when he heard this. This is very different from the military situation he expected, I thought that according to the worst plan, Peng Yue has been captured by the Yuzhou army, but now the city is fine!

According to the news that came from Anlu before. The Yuzhou army sent soldiers to pretend to be ordinary people to cross Tongbai Mountain and go south, with the assistance of Tian Kai, attack Xiaochang and infiltrate Anlu to assassinate the chief governor Shi and Xiyang Jungong and others, according to everyone's judgment, Tian Kai should have controlled Pengyue first with the help of these people, and even attacked Baiyan Pass in the north.

If Baiyan Pass falls into the hands of the Yuzhou army, the threat is great, so An Lu immediately sent troops to Xiaochang and the state soldiers led by Xu Faguang to converge, and then go north to quell the rebellion, everyone's attention is focused on the two places of Pengyue and Baiyan Pass, and the troops that can be mobilized are also going to these two places, and the defense is the Yuzhou army from the Baiyan Pass to the south.

Now that I found that Yue Yue has not changed, what is the other party doing?

According to the idea of using troops, after the Yuzhou army took the Baiyan Pass, it would be a great threat to Anzhou: more than 120 miles east of Pengyue is the Beijiang Prefecture of the Huangzhou Governor's Mansion to govern Luchengguan, more than 80 miles to the south is the Yuezhou Prefecture of the Anzhou Governor's Mansion to govern Shouchang, more than 20 miles to the west is the exit of Wuyang Guanshan Road, and more than 40 miles to the west is Yingzhou Prefecture to govern Yongyang.

Could it be that this Yuzhou army that infiltrated the border of Anzhou only wanted to take Baiyan Pass, but only mixed into Anlu to assassinate and attack Xiaochang? That's impossible!

Xu Faguang thought that it was impossible for the other party to plan such a big game of chess, and he thought about the target that the other party was very likely to attack: first of all, he thought of Yongyang in the west, which was the place where the grain of the Anzhou East Route Army operated, but there was a large army to defend it, and it was impossible to be attacked by a little Yuzhou Army, and then Lucheng Pass in the east, but there was the boundary of Huangzhou, and it was impossible to think of the army support.

Isn't it just to take Baiyan Pass, but also to attack Wuyang Pass? (To be continued.) )
