Chapter 46 The mantis arm is used as a car
Da Xi Changru can't do it, the only candidate in Yang Tian's hands is only one Li Chong, Yang Tian had to reluctantly choose Li Chong to lead the team, although Li Chong lost Pinggao County, in fact, it is not too mediocre, after all, in the face of the absolute strength of the Turks, not everyone can do as well as Da Xi Changru.
Originally, Yang Tian also wanted to leave a deputy for Li Chong as a supervisor of the army, but after thinking about it, if Li Chong had different intentions, it was useless to keep his deputy, just died in vain, if Li Chong had no different intentions, leaving a deputy would seem to distrust him, Yang Tian was a little more generous, and gave Li Chong all the rights to command the state and county soldiers.
After arranging these, Yang Tiancai had time to listen to the reports of the people sent out to transfer troops, there were official documents from the court, Yang Tian had the holy commander, most of the county guards in various states and counties agreed to transfer troops, some of them had already arrived in Pinggao County, some were already waiting on the road ahead, and only one Ningzhou did not even return the personal soldiers sent out.
Although Ningzhou is still more than 100 miles away from Pinggao County, it is on the way for the Xuanlong army to return to Beijing, Yang Tian is worried that if Ningzhou does not know whether he is alive or dead, and dares not to obey the order, it will block the return of the army.
Yang Tian asked left and right, "Who is the Ningzhou Thorn History?" ”
Li Gang hurriedly replied: "General, Guo Zisheng, the assassin of Ningzhou, is still an old subordinate of the former Duke of Shu. ”
When Yang Tian heard this, he left his luck behind, Yang Jian had told him in the letter that he should pay attention to the former subordinates of the Duke of Shu, and those who could be transferred should be transferred as soon as possible, so he was granted the right to appoint and dismiss officials along the way, but as soon as the news of Emperor Tianyuan's death came out, Yang Tian could not move casually, otherwise it would be easy to provoke some unconvinced people to take risks.
Yang Tian swept the generals of the Xuanlong Army present: "Who can go to Ningzhou again and capture Guo Zisheng, the assassin of Ningzhou, so as not to block my way back to Beijing?" ”
Li Gang was shocked: "The general is going to attack Ningzhou, in this way, the sword and soldiers together, I am afraid that the humble position will cause a chain reaction, and then there are other states and counties that are not satisfied, how is it good?" ”
Yang Tian shook his head: "If you want to attack, I will personally lead the troops to go, I just want to send someone to Ningzhou again to announce the edict, and seize the opportunity to take Guo Zisheng, so I want a brave and brave man, only bring two followers to enter Ningzhou again, which of you can do it?" ”
Everyone couldn't help but think in their hearts, if it was okay for the first time, this time they saw that the first time they didn't go back, and the second time they went, maybe they would be taken down before they saw Guo Zisheng, although everyone could die for Yang Tianxiao, but they were not sure to complete the task, and no one dared to speak.
Seeing that everyone was hesitating, Yang Tian was suddenly displeased: "Are you just brave in vain?" ”
Yang Tian was so agitated that many people's faces turned red, but they didn't dare to answer, Li Gang coughed: "General, Gang is willing to go." ”
Yang Tian shook his head: "You can't do it, everyone knows that you are the counselor of the Xuanlong Army, my right and left hand, Guo Zisheng will definitely strengthen his guard when he hears you coming, it is too difficult to start." ”
Luo Yi came out and said: "General, I am willing to go." ”
Luo Yi is confident that martial arts are no worse than Da Xihong, Zhang Xingzhi and others, but last time they could only withdraw from the battle of the owners, this time with the Turks, Luo Yi originally wanted to make a splash, but the limelight was completely taken away by Shi Wansui, he only got some small achievements, seeing that due to Wang Shu's death, the Xuanlong Army vacated the position of the lord again, Luo Yi's eyes were hot, if he completed this task, maybe Yang Tian would consider promoting him.
Yang Tian looked at Luo Yi, his eyes were full of suspicion, if Luo Yi was really as good as later generations described, Yang Tian could not hesitate to hand over the task to him, but the Luo Yi in front of him was not only passable in martial arts, but he was also frizzy in doing things, Yang Tian even wondered if he had taken him in too early and made him lose the opportunity to practice outside, so that his performance was far less outstanding than he remembered.
Seeing Yang Tian's suspicions, Luo Yi hurriedly said: "General, I am willing to make a military order, and if I can't complete the task, I am willing to come to see you." ”
Yang Tian thought about it, there is really no one more suitable than him, in terms of martial arts, Luo Yi is at least in the top ten in the Xuanlong Army, and he is young and not famous, Guo Zisheng is likely to lose his vigilance under carelessness.
"Okay, I will follow you, and the military order will not be necessary, but if it can't be completed, you don't have to do this deputy building, let it be given to talented people."
Luo Yi was full of confidence: "Obey the order." ”
Just wanted to retreat, Yang Tian beckoned: "Come here." ”
Luo Yi had to walk to Yang Tian's side, Yang Tian whispered a few words in Luo Yi's ear, Luo Yi's eyes lit up when he heard it, and he kept nodding. Yang Tian's voice was amplified: "You go, pick two people to accompany you." ”
"Commanded by humility." Luo Yi retreated and picked Yang Shi to accompany another sergeant named Yang Xiaotian, Yang Miao originally wanted to follow, but was unceremoniously rejected by Luo Yi, which made Yang Miao unhappy.
After the three of them left, Yang Tian immediately ordered the Xuanlong Army to set off with him, and the two thousand army had a total of more than 4,000 horses, and more than 10,000 horses' hooves stepped out at the same time, and the entire ground suddenly heard a rumbling sound like thunder, rolling forward.
Luo Yi three people each three horses, non-stop, it took more than two hours, has run more than 100 miles, to Ningzhou, the army followed, at most two hours will arrive, they must capture Ningzhou before the arrival of the army Guo Zisheng, the worst to kill him, for the army to open up the road to Ningzhou.
Seeing that the city gate of Ningzhou was in sight, the three of them slowed down slightly, Yang Xiaotian was bored for several hours, and finally couldn't help asking: "Brother Luo, what did the general say to you at the end, why do you look confident?" ”
Luo Yi smiled slightly: "Are you scared?" ”
Yang Xiaotian was suddenly unhappy: "What's so terrible, our lives were saved by Gongzi, and he taught us martial arts and knowledge, it's a big deal to repay Gongzi if he dies." ”
"Well, you'll know when you enter the city."
"Someone, stop." As they spoke, the three of them were already close to the city gate.
The horsewhip in Luo Yi's hand had already been waved: "Blind your dog's eyes, even the messenger of the front-line manager dares to stop it, where is your assassin's mansion?" ”
Seeing that the other party was so arrogant, several soldiers at the entrance of the city were stunned, and one of them pointed to the wide avenue in front of him: "Keep walking, and see that the largest mansion in the middle is." ”
Luo Yi no longer answered, and urged the mount, and Yang Shi and Yang Xiaotian roared through the street, and the pedestrians on the road immediately avoided and scolded the backs of the three people.
After the three of them left, one of the soldiers reacted: "They said it was a messenger sent by the front-line manager?" ”
Everyone was shocked, the secret way is not good, a few days ago, Lord Assassin Shi seemed to have informed that anyone pretending to be an envoy sent by the front-line manager, one case will be taken down first, and then it will be said, seeing that the three of them are far away, everyone immediately looked at each other.
One of them asked his squad leader, "My lord, do you want to pursue?" ”
"Chase a fart, I didn't see one person and three horses, how to chase it, you and I are strict-mouthed, someone asked, and said that I didn't see any messengers sent by the front-line manager." The squad leader scolded, but he thought in his heart, if anyone dares to pretend to be the front-line chief messenger, maybe it is an adult who has an awkward quarrel with others, and we can't do it.
The three of them soon came to the Assassin's Mansion, the Assassin's Yamen was really extraordinary, just the high steps, the mighty stone lion in front of the door made people feel awe-inspired, at the gate, there were two rows of eight big men wearing long knives on their waists, staring at the passers-by, as if everyone had bad intentions towards the Assassin's Mansion. Although it is the most lively street, no one passes by the half of the area near the Thorn Mansion.
It is impossible for this assassin Shi Mansion to break in, otherwise the three of them have three heads and six arms and have no ability to kill hard, Luo Yi and the others threw their stirrups and fell off their horses, and walked quickly towards the gate: "Lord Wei Chi has a military order to convey, take us to see Guo Rashi quickly." ”
As soon as they heard that it was someone sent by Lord Wei Chi, several sergeants guarding the door did not dare to slack off, they followed Guo Zisheng for a long time, and naturally knew that Lord Guo was an old subordinate of the Duke of Shu, and they didn't have time to ask which Lord Wei Chi was, so they hurriedly said: "You wait, I'll report it immediately." ”
If they knew that these three people entered the city from the north gate, they would definitely know that the three of them had nothing to do with the Wei Chi family, at this time Guo Zisheng was also bothered in the yamen, he was Wei Chi Hui's henchman, and knew that Wei Chi Hui was very dissatisfied with Yang Jian for grabbing the position of the big front suspicion, so when he heard that Emperor Tianyuan had died and Yang Jian had become the prime minister again, his old boss Shu Guogong would definitely be so angry that he had the intention to vent a bad breath for his boss, so instead of implementing Yang Tian's troop transfer order, he detained Yang Tian's own soldiers.
However, Guo Zisheng did things just on the spur of the moment, and after doing it, he became afraid, whether it was Yang Jian or Yang Tian, it was not something he could fight against now, if he was not careful, his life would have to be taken, but now it is difficult to ride a tiger, even if Yang Tian's personal soldiers are released, it is difficult to ensure that nothing happens, if the personal soldiers go back to add fuel and vinegar, I am afraid that they will soon face Yang Tian's tens of thousands of troops.
He is at this time when the six gods have no master, and he can't kill Yang Tian's personal soldiers, and he can't let them go, and it's not a way to wait, no matter whether Yang Tian waits for his personal soldiers or not, I'm afraid that he will lead the army through Ningzhou in a few days, and whether to open the city gate or not is a difficult problem to greet him.
Hearing that the doorman came to report that the sergeant of the Wei Chi family had come to give the order, Guo Zisheng was immediately overjoyed, and he couldn't distinguish the truth from the false, so he got up and ran out of the door, asking as he ran: "Where is the messenger of the Duke of Shu?" ”
Guo Zisheng's staff hurriedly shouted: "My lord, your official uniform." ”
Guo Zisheng didn't care about the official uniform now, and he didn't pay attention to the shouts of the staff behind him, and his fat body quickly disappeared in front of him.
Luo Yi waited for a while, and saw a middle-aged man in his forties, who was obese, came out in civilian clothes, and couldn't figure out whether he was a thorn in the past, so he didn't dare to move, and said proudly: "I am the envoy of Shu State, what about Ningzhou Rashi, he is so bold, why didn't he come out to greet him?" ”
Guo Zisheng hurriedly shouted: "I am the assassin of Ningzhou, what does the Duke of Shu say, and invite the envoy to enter and talk in detail." ”
Luo Yi looked at Guo Zisheng, who was fat like a round ball: "You are the Ningzhou Thorn History?" ”
Guo Zisheng nodded: "It's Xia Guan." ”
Luo Yi quietly approached Guo Zisheng: "My lord, tell the Lord that the Shu State has confidential matters, and he wants to ......" Luo Yi's words became quieter and quieter, although Guo Zisheng felt that it was inappropriate to talk about things outside the yamen, but when he saw that the envoy had said it, he had to listen carefully, and his footsteps moved forward unconsciously, breaking away from the protection of several entourage.
"Please make it clear to the envoy, Guo didn't hear clearly."
Luo Yi took out a dagger with his backhand, put it on Guo Zisheng's neck, and said loudly: "Lord Guo didn't hear clearly, right, then I'll say it again, on the orders of the front-line manager, Guo Zisheng bullied the king and disrespected his orders, and is now escorted back to the capital for trial, and others must not stop it, otherwise it will be regarded as a rebellion." ”
Luo Yi quickly dragged Guo Zisheng to Yang Shi and Yang Xiaotian, and pressed the dagger with force, Guo Zisheng's neck suddenly oozed blood, and he was suddenly frightened: "Don't kill me, don't kill me." ”
Guo Zisheng's staff happened to come out, and when he saw this scene, his face suddenly changed greatly, knowing that if these people really brought Guo Zisheng to the capital, Guo Zisheng's life would be in danger, and shouted to the soldiers at the door: "Go on, save Lord Assassin Shi." ”
Several people suddenly jumped to try, Yang Shi and Yang Xiaotian were already holding bows in their hands, and when they saw a person who looked like a scribe and wanted to command the soldiers to rob people, Yang Shi didn't want to think about it, an arrow shot out, and immediately pierced the throat of Guo Zisheng's staff, and the staff member snorted several times in his mouth, fell to the ground, and couldn't move anymore.
Yang Xiaotian's bow was still on the arrow, and he took the opportunity to shout: "No one is allowed to move, otherwise not only will I die, but even the whole family will be killed." ”
Everyone no longer dared to move, maybe some people were not afraid of death, but no one was afraid of disasters to the whole family, and when Yang Tian's army arrived, they saw the gate of Ningzhou Mansion wide open, and Luo Yi and the two soldiers who had originally ordered Guo Zisheng stood at the door and waited.
Yang Tian looked at Guo Zisheng, whose legs were shaking like a sieve, he really didn't understand why such a person had the courage to detain his own soldiers, he was really a mantis arm as a car, he didn't know whether he was alive or dead, he was not interested in paying attention to Guo Zisheng, and with a wave of his hand, he let him go down, and the whole army drove into the city, at this time it was almost dark, and the army just rested in Ningzhou City for one night, and then went on the road tomorrow.
