Chapter 1008: Shocking
"No more than twenty horsemen!" After listening for a while, Tuoba Yan put his mind at ease: "It should be Zhang Bai and Huang An's people." ”
"What does it take them to send someone back to report so urgently? Could it be that the people of Qin are ready to move again? Shouldn't it? Zhang Jin was puzzled, "Isn't Xiao Qiang busy marrying his daughter-in-law now, planning to recover the power of the Deng family?" At this time, he won't come to us with a hot brain, right? ”
Tuoba Yan was actually thinking about this issue in his heart, but there was no doubt that sending someone back to Happy Valley overnight already showed the seriousness of the matter. Although Zhang Bai and Huang An have now sunk, their own qualities are still top-notch, much stronger than ordinary people. They don't do meaningless things.
It goes without saying that something big is going to happen to these two people who can send a team of horses over overnight.
Tuoba Yan frowned, thinking about all the possibilities that might happen.
The sound of horses' hooves slowed down on the edge of the firelight, and slowly moved forward into the light, and the first person, holding a flag, shouted loudly: "Brother Paomaping, we are from Jinshanzhai, and we have been ordered to return to the main camp to ask for General Tuoba." ”
More than ten horsemen and horses stopped more than ten steps away from the city.
"It's Zhang Bai's personal guard." Tuoba Yan recognized several of them and waved his hand, "Open the city gate and let them in." ”
The leader of the guards who was brought to the city wall couldn't help but be taken aback when he saw Tuoba Yan, he didn't expect that it was so late, Tuoba Yan was still fully armed on the city wall.
"General Tuoba, why are you here?" He asked, blurting out.
"It's Yu Qian!" Tuoba glanced at him, "In the past few days, I have been leading people to practice mountain warfare, and by the way, I have come back from hunting some wild things, and today the brothers of Happy Valley are gathered together, everyone is drinking and eating meat, and I, the boss, naturally have to go up to the city wall to sit in the town, so that everyone can eat well and drink happily." Zhang and Huang, the two generals, have always been okay? ”
The leader of the personal guard, who was called Yu Qian, saw Tuoba Yan's peaceful appearance, and couldn't help but sigh for a while, compared to his own two generals, General Tuoba can be regarded as a real soldier! The key is that there is nothing to say about the brothers under him, like his own part, he is obviously not treated by the superiors, but General Tuoba did not treat them differently, and what should be given is not less at all. If you change to someone who likes to touch your mind, I'm afraid that their golden cottage people will have a hard time.
"Thank you for the general's concern, the brothers of Jinshan Sai trust the general's blessing, everything is fine." Yu humbled himself.
"Well, that's good, why did you come here in the starry night, what happened, the Qin people came to find trouble?" Glancing at the group of soldiers in the distance who were isolated by Zhang Jin and his soldiers, Tuoba Yan saw one of them in the clothes of the common people.
Yu Qian glanced around and lowered his voice: "General, there is indeed a big matter. The two generals Zhang and Huang thought that the matter was very important, and they didn't dare to slack off, so they immediately asked the villain to take that guy to Paomaping and report to the general. ”
"What emergency can there be? Isn't it that Xiao Qiang can't stand it anymore and is ready to surrender to us? Tuoba Yan looked at Yu Qian playfully. Xiao Qiang now has 100,000 troops, how can he surrender to the Qi people when he is complacent, full of ambition, and ready to do a big job.
"The general said with a smile, Xiao Qiang will naturally not surrender to us, but what you said is not far behind, there are indeed people who are ready to surrender the Tiger Prison Pass to us!" Yu Qian's voice was lowered, almost like a mosquito buzzing.
But in Tuoba Yan's ears, it was like a thunderbolt, he raised his head, his eyes became a little sharper, and the knife-like Yu Qian's face scraped again, and slowly turned to the person in the distance.
"The general clearly sees that it is that guy." Yu Qian said: "The villain doesn't know the specific situation, and the two generals Zhang and Huang don't know much, this person is determined to see the person in charge before he is willing to say." ”
"What is he? What is said to be what? Are Zhang Bai and Huang An's lard brains clouded? Pitch your hands on us? Xiao Qiang is not a pig. Tuoba Yan said coldly. Where did this crook come from? ”
"General, he said he was from the Deng family." Yu Qian said.
Tuoba Yan gasped, he knew more than most people, if it was really from the Deng family, then there was really a possibility that there would be a big drama to be staged.
He turned around and walked to the city gate building, "Zhang Jin, bring that person here, you personally lead people to set up guards, and no one is allowed to approach within ten steps." ”
He snapped.
"Yes, General!" Zhang Jin in the distance responded loudly.
The door slammed shut, and there was the sound of soldiers colliding with each other and Zhang Jin's low shouting outside, Tuoba Yan sat there, staring coldly at the guy standing in front of him. Obviously, this guy is not an ordinary person, in the eyes of Tuoba Yan who seems to be about to kill, he is calm and smiling.
"Tell me, the news you brought is unbelievable." Tuoba Yan sneered: "Xiao Qiang has held the Tiger Prison Pass for many years, and now it is the time when the spring breeze is proud, I can't think of how you can dedicate the Tiger Prison Pass to us." Well, you said that you are a member of the Deng family, as far as I know, the Deng family seems to be a lost dog now, how can you fight with Xiao Qiang? ”
Hearing Tuoba Yan's undisguised slander of the Deng clan, a trace of anger appeared on the face of the person who came, "General Tuoba Yan, although the Deng clan is not as good as it used to be, Xiao Qiang is just a dog under the command of the Deng clan in the past, although the master is old and weak, but there is still no problem in dealing with one of his own guard dogs." ”
"Two skins in the mouth, don't waste your strength when you speak, bragging, anyone can do it!" Tuoba Yan choked and pulled out the knife, and his fingers slid lightly over the blade: "If you don't give me a convincing answer, I will have to reward you with a knife, because you wasted a lot of time for Lao Tzu to sleep." ”
With a snatch, Tuoba Yan inserted the sharp steel knife into the ground in front of him.
The person who came hesitated for a moment and shook his head: "I'm sorry, General Tuoba, this matter is very important, I ask to meet Guo Xiancheng and Guo Dashuai before I can say it." This matter has great benefits in Daqi, and will be of great help to Daqi to dominate the world, please send someone to escort me to Chang'an. ”
Tuoba Yan narrowed her eyes, looked at the other side for a long time, and suddenly laughed: "Do you know who I am?" ”
"I know, the chief general of the Hengduan Mountain Range of Great Qi, General Tuoba Yan." The people who came were a little confused.
"Yes, my name is Tuoba Yan!" Tuoba Yanhuo stood up: "When I followed General Guo from Shayang County of the Ming Kingdom to the Hengduan Mountains, the only soldiers who could fight around General Guo were my troops. Therefore, when General Guo was promoted, the first thing he did was to promote me to become the general of the Great Qi Town Guard in the Hengduan Mountains. Do you know what I mean? ”
The visitor was silent for a moment, but finally nodded.
"I, I am Guo Dashuai's gatekeeper here, no matter what you want to do, if you can't even pass my level, how can you see Guo Dashuai? Do you think Guo Dashuai can see anyone? Tuoba Yan bent down, stretched out his finger and flicked on the bright steel knife, and the sound of the steel knife was accompanied by Tuoba Yan's laughter: "If you hide your head and tail in front of Lao Tzu again, and look mysterious, Lao Tzu will cut you down with a knife and throw your corpse into the forest to feed the wolves." , what's that? Dare to come to entertain Lao Tzu? ”
Tuoba Yan looked at each other angrily, his eyes almost wanted to erupt with fire, holding a steel knife in his hand, looking like he was choosing someone to devour, and he seemed to be a different person in an instant.
Lairen and Tuoba Yan looked at each other for a long time, and finally unconsciously turned their eyes away, and sighed, this guy is a barbarian! Reason with him, I'm afraid that it is Xiucai who meets the soldiers, and he can't explain it clearly.
He didn't want to be slashed by this murder in a daze, and he would die if he died, but if he couldn't achieve Miss's entire strategic goal, it would be a big sin. They don't have time now, and only through the shortcut of Tuoba Yan can they send the information to Guo Xiancheng as quickly as possible, Tuoba Yan is indeed Guo Xiancheng's number one cronie now.
He took a deep breath and said slowly, "Because, we are about to kill Xiao Qiang." ”
Tuoba Yan laughed: "Is Xiao Qiang a pig?" You can kill if you want? Can you kill if you want to? Are you kidding? ”
"Naturally, you can kill." The person who came decided not to hide anything anymore: "The day of killing Xiao Qiang is set on the day when his son marries, and we already have a careful plan. ”
Looking at the other party's determined expression, the cruel smile on Tuoba Yan's face was unconsciously put away: "Even if Xiao Qiang is killed, there are still 100,000 soldiers and horses in the Tiger Prison Pass, and as soon as Xiao Qiang dies, chaos will be inevitable, but I don't think we can easily take the Tiger Prison Pass." ”
"Your country is now short of troops in the Hengduan Mountains, and we also know this, so we need to meet with Guo Shuai and ask Guo Shuai to increase the number of troops in the Hengduan Mountains. General Tuoba, we are not temporary, but arranged for a long time, at least half of the people in the Tiger Prison Pass, in our hands, Xiao Qiang died, all the Qin army fortress soldiers outside the Tiger Prison Pass that extended to the Hengduan Mountain Range area will all be withdrawn, you can reach the Tiger Prison Pass without hindrance, and at that time, the Tiger Prison Pass will be an empty city, you can occupy this Xiongguan that your Qi country has never taken for dozens of hundreds of years, and open the passage to the Qin State. ”
Tuoba Yan slowly inserted the knife back into the scabbard, "It sounds unbelievable, but now I'm really interested, but I still have one more question, if you can't explain it, then I still won't believe it, that is, what good is it for you Deng clan to do this?" Can I understand that your Deng clan has decided to surrender to my Great Qi? ”
