Previous Chapter: Chapter 488 Big Brother Slut Next Chapter: Chapter 490 Jiaoxin
At dawn on the second day, squatting by the river for a night, the sleepy scouts Jin Shuirong and Chen Wanfang looked at the river and saw thousands of sails on the river, and the Silla people's water baggage team resumed transportation, the two were shocked and then delighted, and scolded twice, Jin Shuirong stayed by the river to guard, Rainbow
An invisible big hand choked Chen Wanfang's throat, making him want to shout and cry, he couldn't cry, the scene in front of him was like a hellish nightmare, the two hundred or so brothers camped here were killed cleanly, two hundred headless corpses were scattered and vertical, and two hundred human heads hung on the branches like two hundred ripe fruits, layer upon layer, dense.
Chen Wanfang was nauseated for a while, and wanted to vomit, but he couldn't vomit, he knelt on the ground and howled.
A large, shaped hand reached over and covered his mouth, and with a slight click, a crunch sound, breaking his neck bone.
A warrior in armor emerged from the shadows, looked at the corpse, and said, "It's a scout." ”
With that, he pulled out the hook-shaped blade, cut off the human head with a quick hand, and strode into the dense forest with it in his hand.
Hearing the news that Zhao Fengcheng was killed and Jin Tiyong officially pulled out the camp and went north, Li Mao smiled bitterly: "Zhao Dudu is a good person, but he is too sloppy in his work. ”
Tsuneki Kura said: "He divided the people into four camps, and the whole army was wiped out, and none of the eight hundred people escaped. ”
Qin Mo said: "One is not an exaggeration, isn't Jin Shuilu a person?"
Chang Mucang had no choice but to shut up, Jin Shuirong was Zhao Fengcheng's scout, guarding the duck water and watching the wind, after his companion Chen Wanfang left, he was suddenly anxious, so he got into the grass for convenience, and the measures were improper, and his hands were stained with filth, so he took off his clothes and went to the river to clean, he grew up by the water since he was a child, but he was not afraid of the cold water and the cold.
Because of this, he luckily avoided the strangulation of the black crest, and when the black crested head went to the river to search for it, he quietly hid in the water, and relied on a good water to swim through the duck water and ran to Dongzhou to report the news.
Zhao Fengcheng's annihilation of the whole army confirmed Li Mao's conjecture from the side.
Looking at it this way, Jin Xiuzong and Jin Tiyong are not of the same mind, and the two have deep contradictions. This may be an opportunity. ”
After Li Mao finished speaking, he said to Qin Mo: "Jin Shuirong is a good person, stay and be a guard, I am optimistic about him." ”
Chang Mucang said: "This person's background is unknown, so it's better to be cautious." ”
Li Mao said: "Looking at people and appearances, he is a loyal and righteous person. ”
Qin Mo said: "The black crested head has made a good move, it is necessary to strengthen the guards, I think we have to use our killer weapon." ”
Li Mao smiled and said: "Doesn't that mean telling them where I am, with the two of you escorting, I can rest easy, I'm afraid of his black crest."
Chang Mucang said: "Since the fight has begun, it is better to be cautious, I suggest moving to the Shannan command post from today, not afraid of 10,000, just in case." ”
Qin Mo said, "Yes, so as not to affect the innocent." ”
The Shannan command post is located at the southern foot of the East High Mountain, easy to defend and difficult to attack, heavily guarded, and very close to the right wing of the pro-army, the La Jia Army, and the battalion of the First Division.
Li Mao accepted the suggestion of the two and moved into the Shannan command post on the same day.
After Xue Qingyu successfully expelled the Anton army outside the city, the next day in a blink of an eye, the army came all over the world. The water that surrounded Liaodong City was impassable, and it was Li Mao's descendant of the Third Division of the Andong Army, and the main general was Shi Xiong, the deputy commander.
Xue Qingbao, the name of Shixiong, had heard of it and knew that it was Li Mao's confidant, and the Third Division was the one with the largest number of people, the most well-equipped, and the highest level of training in the Andong Army.
The siege battle was very bloody at the beginning, the terrain of Liaodong City was too steep, and the heavy siege equipment of the third division could not be transported, and it was really a bit whimsical to capture such a city by relying on cloud ladders and blood bravery.
However, the third division is a tiger and wolf division, and Shi Xiong can be regarded as a god with soldiers, and after a rush to attack, Xue Qing, who is still fighting, is overwhelmed. Sugar hua
The third elder, Xue Qingnian, suggested that soldiers and horses should be recruited in the city immediately and go to the city to help defend it.
"Anton's archery skills are really good, we lose thirty soldiers every day, and if we continue like this, we will definitely lose."
Although Xue Qingbao felt that Xue Qingnian was making a fuss, he still patiently asked, "In your opinion, what should we do?"
Xue Qing said: "The front is tight, but the rear is singing and dancing, how can this work." I think we can recruit all those prodigal sons and catch up with the city, so that we can replenish our forces and tie the whole city to our side. ”
Xue Qingyu asked the second brother Xue Qingyu with a smile: "How is the third brother's plan?" ”
Xue Qingyu sneered: "He is a foolish person doing a foolish thing, half of the people in Liaodong City are business travelers, come today and leave tomorrow, who can know what the details of these people are, you recruit them to the city, how do you know that they will not collude with the outside of the city, and when the time comes, their heads will be gone, and I don't know who to go to." ”
Xue Qingnian's neck was red, and he gritted his teeth and said: "Second brother, what can you do to kill more than 30 people a day, you can still carry it for a few days" Seeing Xue Qingyu and Xue Qingnian arguing again, the eldest Xue Qing smiled and comforted the two younger brothers to sit down, but said: "I was reckless some time ago, I shouldn't have fought with Anton Army head-on, let's let him, don't hook arrows with him, we can't afford to hide." After a pause, Xue Qingbao said again: "Of course, the matter of recruiting people must also be arrested, but be cautious, be careful of Li Mao's tricks, this person is a habitual person, and he has many tricks." ”
Xue Qing said: "There is another thing, the city is tight, but the city has to allocate a large number of people to guard those grain merchants and prisoners, the grain merchants are okay, those prisoners, if they can be trusted, they will be used, if they are not believed, they will simply be a hundred, so as not to become a burden in their hands." ”
Xue Qingbao nodded, Liaodong City has insufficient troops, and it is indeed a bit worth the loss to use a considerable part of the troops to imprison the prisoners of the Anton Army and the grain merchants who enter the city to trade.
"Let the captives go to the city, and see if they are sincere or perfunctory to me, and if they have any different intentions, kill them. The second child is going to do this, and the means must be quick. The third child went to meet the grain merchants and sent them out of the city, and if there was a war, I would not leave any guests. ”
After Xue Qingbao explained this, he yawned, and Xue Qingyu persuaded: "Big brother hasn't been back for a few days, let's go back and see, this battle won't be over for a while, go back and talk to my mother and sister-in-law, so as not to worry about them." ”
Xue Qingbao nodded, greeted the two brothers, and rode back to his house.
I went to see the paralyzed old lady first, talked with her, and then went back to her yard, Mrs. Qiu was overjoyed, and asked urgently: "Have the thieves withdrawn?" Xue Qing smiled and said: "How can it be so fast, the thieves are waiting to break the city and plunder my beauties to be the lady of the village." ”
Mrs. Qiu blushed, spat him, and said, "Ding Ding is sixteen years old, and he is still not serious." ”
Xue Qing changed into civilian clothes, took his wife into his arms, and said with a smile: "She has grown up, but you are not old, you are only thirty years old, and you are in your prime." ”
Xue Qing's hand was not honest, and he had already reached into his skirt to hold his wife's plump breasts while speaking, and his lower body was raised up, as firm as a needle of the sea god.
Mrs. Qiu's face turned even redder, she glanced out of the door, and said in a low voice: "Ding Ding knows that you are coming back, maybe I will help you get it out with my hands first." ”
Xue Qingbao smiled: "Then there is Mrs. Lao." ”
Mrs. Qiu had been a red card in the Luoyang fireworks field before, and her means were superb, and in a moment, she wrapped a ball of essence in a handkerchief and left.
Xue Qing closed her eyes and recuperated, still reminiscing about the fun of wanting to die, and the maid Langhuan came to report: "The little lady invites the head of the family to eat." ”
Xue Qingbao opened his eyes and said with a smile: "Okay, look at what delicious food my baby daughter has cooked for me, I'm hungry." ”
Xue Qingbao's only daughter, Xue Dingding's boudoir, is located in the middle of the mansion to the west, a small courtyard that is so delicate that he can't bear to be disturbed. A sixteen-year-old girl in a plain skirt greeted her outside the courtyard gate, like a fairy.
Seeing his father's greeting, Xue Qing smiled and said, "Get up, you don't have to be like this in your own family." ”
Xue Dingding said: "My father was tired from the journey, and my daughter cooked two small dishes and invited my father to have a drink. ”
Xue Qing closed his eyes and sniffed, and said, "Xiang, my son is a good craftman, and he is blessed for his father." ”
Xue Dingding made four kinds of vegetarian dishes, a bowl of appetizing soup, exquisite dishes, and not much wine, but it was a top wine. Xue Qingbao tasted two mouthfuls of food, drank a glass of wine, was in a good mood, and looked at her daughter, a little jade person, how beautiful she looked.
Xue Dingding was not afraid of her father looking at her like this, and raised her glass and said, "I wish my father and two uncles to repel the stubborn bandits as soon as possible and save the people of a city of peace and happiness." ”
Xue Qing drank the glass of wine happily, and suddenly sighed with emotion: "Li Mao's arrogance and rudeness actually asked my daughter to be his concubine, seeing that I caught him without peeling off his skin, and cramped his tendons." But daughter, you are also sixteen years old this year, this man should be married, and the woman should be married, have you ever thought about your life's affairs, you tell your father what kind of husband you want to marry? Oops, blushing what, what's so blushing here. ”
Xue Dingding laid a chopstick dish for his father, and said calmly: "The Han people have a saying that if you don't listen to the old man, you will suffer in front of you, the daughter is still young, she is not deeply involved in the world, and the marriage is a major event, so please ask your father to make the decision." ”
Xue Qing wrapped and said: "Marriage matters, I naturally want to check for you, but you should always have a thought in your heart, whether you want to marry an elegant scribe, a mighty general or a long-sleeved merchant who is good at dancing to make money." There should always be a direction. ”
Xue Dingding said with a smile: "My daughter just wants to marry an ordinary person, live a quiet life, stay by her father's side for the rest of her life, and honor her father." ”
Xue Qing wrapped and said: "This is your true words"
Xue Ding Ding said angrily: "People don't say it, you have to say it, people say it, you are suspicious, so you just don't say it." ”
Xue Qingbao laughed and said: "You can think like this, it's okay, marry an honest man, be older, be good to you, live a peaceful life, and indeed have a lot less right and wrong, but you have to stay with your father, how can this be less." ”
Because he drank two more glasses of wine, Xue Qing was a little dizzy, so he went back to sleep in the study.
Xue Dingding settled his father and explained his two accompanying guards, then returned to his small courtyard and said to the maid Langhuan: "You go and tell the guest that I will go to Huishan Temple tomorrow to make incense." ”
Huishan Temple is in the northwest corner of Liaodong City, it is the temple with the most incense in the city, Xue Dingding's biological mother believes in Buddhism, she also often goes to the temple to worship the Buddha on incense, the atmosphere of the north is open, there are few taboos in the Central Plains between men and women.
After Xue Dingding finished the incense, he went to the backyard meditation room to take a nap and have refreshments, and Lang Huan walked in with a young man who was not tall, but was extremely energetic.
Xue Dingding didn't get up, just nodded lightly at him, and after the young man saluted, he sat opposite Xue Dingding. Lang Huan served tea to the young man and withdrew with interest.
The young man said: "What do you have to say when the little lady summons someone to come?"
Xue Dingding said: "If I can help you break the city, can I keep my clan safe in the future?"
The young man was overjoyed, and his mission in entering the city was to try to persuade the people around Xue Qing to submit anyway. First, he never thought that Xue Dingding would be the person he was looking for, and second, he never thought that Xue Dingding would really agree to help him, and he agreed so quickly.
"I remember the last time we met here, it was only three days ago, so soon the little lady figured it out."
Hearing the ridicule in the human language, Xue Dingding was not in a hurry, and said calmly: "My father only has one daughter, and the second and third uncles have many heirs, and for the sake of future generations, they want to protect Liaodong City to the death." But I know that Liaodong City can't be defended, even if it doesn't belong to you, sooner or later it will be invaded by Li Mao, and when the time comes, my Xue clan will not be able to protect its wealth, and I will not be able to escape the humiliation. ”
The person came and asked tentatively: "Now although I send 100,000 troops, Liaodong also has 10,000 people, and there is Youzhou as a backer, the number of victories and defeats, although I have the advantage, I may not be able to win all, the little lady wants to keep the glory and wealth, why don't you wait and see"
Xue Dingding smiled bitterly: "I am also selfish, the third uncle has always advocated sacrificing me to Li Mao to please him in order to protect my family." I don't want to. ”
The person who came asked tentatively: "If the city is dedicated to our country, the little lady may have to enter the palace to accompany her." The Forbidden Palace is as deep as the sea. ”
Xue Dingding was silent for a moment, and replied: "I accept my fate by exchanging the gains and losses of one person for the wealth of one clan." ”
Human: "Since you promised to cooperate with us, what are you going to do?"
Xue Dingding smiled: "I should ask you, what do you want me to do." ”
"It's very simple, convince your father to hold on to the city and wait for my army to arrive." ”
Xue Dingding said: "I have one condition, Marshal Jin must give me a codex, the day your army enters the city, there is no offense against our people, our people, and the people of the city will not suffer from swordsmen." ”
Come to the human: "I will immediately present the marshal." ”
After saying goodbye and leaving, Lang Huan saw him off, and then walked into the meditation room, but saw Xue Ding Dinghua's face was pale, sweating profusely, and the whole person collapsed. She has always been raised in the deep boudoir, pampered, she has never done such a big thing, she barely did it, she only felt exhausted, and the whole person seemed to be hollowed out.
Lang Huan picked up the heroine and asked, "What's wrong with you?"
Xue Dingding's hands and feet were trembling, he calmed down, and forced a wry smile: "I have fallen into a catastrophe, I actually did such a thing behind my father's back, is it right or wrong for me to do this?"
A series of questions made it difficult for Lang Huan to answer, and she comforted her for a long time: "You are also doing this for the good of this family, for the good of the people of the city, I heard that there are 3,000 soldiers and horses outside the city, wearing wild boar skins, eating human flesh and drinking human blood, and never stop if you catch a woman without dying." For the sake of the people of the city, and for our own sake, we should convince the lord of the city to cooperate with the king of Silla. If you can keep the people of a city safe, it is immeasurable merit, and the city lord will not blame you. ”
After listening to Lang Huan's comfort, Xue Dingding's mind was a little relieved, the three brothers of the Xue family in Liaodong City were harmonious on the surface, but in fact, they were selfish and intrigued, and they had reached the point where water and fire were incompatible.
On the one hand, Xue Qingbao accepted the funding of the Silla people and accepted the officials of the Silla people, but on the other hand, he disobeyed the yang and tried his best to maintain his independence, and his behavior had already caused dissatisfaction among the Silla people, and the Silla people secretly supported Xue Qingyu to replace him.
In order to balance the ambitious second brother, Xue Qingbao had no choice but to use the more ambitious Xue Qingnian in the three places, Xue Qingnian first followed the eldest brother, and waited for the full-fledged wings, but he had his own plans, if Liaodong City was independent, it was the world of the eldest brother, if he voted for Silla, it was Xue Qingyu who was in power, and he wanted to take the position only to find another way out and take refuge in another force, as for whether this force was Li Mao, or Khitan or Bohai, it didn't matter.
Now that Liaodong and Silla are competing, Xue Qingyu saw that there was an opportunity, so he pressed forward step by step, pulling the eldest brother to Silla in order to replace him, and Xue Qingnian secretly planned to dedicate the city to Li Mao and ascend to the coveted throne of the city lord.
Xue Dingding, who was in the boudoir, was very worried about this, and after thinking about it painfully, she decided to help the Silla people persuade her father to completely fall to Silla and gain the initiative. Without the support of the Silla people, the ambition of the second uncle could not be carried out, and the ambition of the third uncle was curbed, or the tragedy of the three brothers killing each other could be avoided.
As for her, she should be sent to the palace of the king of Silla as a concubine, which her ambitious second uncle had always advocated, and if he failed, he would be even worse, and her third uncle would fan the wind, and her father would be happy to see it.
The forbidden palace is as deep as the sea, and with her indifferent character, there will be no future in the deep palace, and the day she enters the palace is the beginning of the tragedy in the second half of her life.
But all this is nothing compared to the interests of the family, as long as the family survives this catastrophe safely, she will let it go.
