Chapter Ninety-Nine: A Human Head

The Tang army covered all the way, although the number was small, but the Zhou army had been frightened, after opening the gate of the camp, everyone fled all the way north, trampling on each other and killing a lot of soldiers, Yang Lian led the troops to pursue, harvested at least 300 lives along the way, and then ordered to return.

At this time, the fog has gradually dispersed, and the sight is also clear, Yang Lian raised the military flag, and the flags embroidered with the words "Shu" and "Fei" flew in the air, and several hidden Zhou soldiers looked at it, all pursed their mouths, and the emotions in their hearts were difficult to express.

At this time, they had already seen clearly that the number of the Shu army was small, and it was a great shame for the soldiers of the Zhou army, especially the soldiers of the Praetorian Guard, to be defeated, but the army had already dispersed, scattered piecemeal, and they did not know where each other was, and they could not counterattack at all, and the hidden soldiers of the Zhou army could only watch the enemy leave.

Yang Lian spoke loudly, with a strong Shu accent, which made the soldiers of the Zhou army think that these people were the soldiers of the Shu Kingdom. After Yang Lian retreated, the fleeing Zhou soldiers gradually gathered together, and Li Chongjin also stopped, and he asked his own soldiers to find Guo Xin's whereabouts.

Guo Xin didn't know where he went, which made Li Chongjin feel uneasy, the soldiers of the Zhou army searched for a long time, but never found it, Li Chongjin faintly felt that Guo Xin must have had an accident. By this time the enemy had retreated, and Li Chongjin cautiously approached the station.

The station was in a mess, the corpses were scattered all over the place, and I don't know how many people died in this catastrophe, and what was even more hateful was that the grain, grass and baggage were burned by the enemy, and the trolleys and other means of transportation were also destroyed and burned out, becoming a pile of ruins, and Guo Xin was actually gone!

Li Chongjin couldn't help but wipe the tears from the corners of his eyes, he had never been so aggrieved, the number of enemies was small, if he could hold the camp, even if it was only a meal, the situation on the entire battlefield would be very different. And of course, damn it, this sudden fog.

Li Chongjin looked at the sky where the fog had dissipated, there was no white clouds in the sky, blue like a jewel, he sighed softly, his brows furrowed, what made him wonder was how these enemies could appear here? Could it be that Gao Huaide, Han Tong and the others let so many enemies come over, and they didn't notice it at all?

These Shu people have long been ambushed here, waiting to give them a fatal blow, which means that this group of Shu troops has been premeditated, thinking of this, Li Chongjin has more sweat on his forehead, he can't help but shout loudly, to the soldiers at all costs, must find Guo Xin, otherwise everyone will not be able to eat and walk around.

The soldiers also knew the seriousness of the matter, they searched everywhere, and finally, in the ruins, found a very faintly burned corpse, the upper part of the corpse was charred, but the lower part was not affected much, the clothes were still partially intact, it was from this half of the clothes that the soldiers judged that the corpse was Guo Xin's.

Li Chongjin got the news and rushed to confirm that he had known Guo Xin for many years, and soon found that the corpse had a scar on its abdomen, which was caused by Guo Xin's naughtiness when he was a child. Li Chongjin sighed in his heart, he knew it was over, but what could he do?

More than 100 cavalry returned to the camp in the cottage, Yang Lian counted the results of the battle, very satisfied, the soldiers have killed a lot of enemies, the cut off left ear is packed in a bag, heavy, blood oozing out, very amazing.

Destroying the grain and grass of the Zhou army is already a great victory for Yang Lian, he has always liked to cut off people's grain and grass, which is a very good way in the period of cold weapon warfare. However, Yang Lian's biggest gain was to kill Guo Xin.

At this time, he had already guessed Guo Xin's identity through the token on Guo Xin's body, the dignified third prince, Guo Wei's own second son, actually died here without explanation, it can only be said that his luck is too bad. Because of Yang Lian, he was not killed by Liu Chengyou, but in the end, he was killed by Yang Lian.

At this time, the weather was very hot, and the corpse was easy to decompose, Yang Lian thought about it, took out the lime and applied Guo Xin's face to slow down the speed of its decay. After that, he secretly asked people to carry wooden boxes and rushed to the Shu army camp in Jiangling.

Jiangling, the camp of the Shu army, during this period of time, the Shu army has been looking for a way to break through Jiangling, and the sailors have surrounded the Jiangling Water Gate. However, the Zhou army arrived in time, although the number was not large, but they were all the most elite cavalry, and they were very good at fighting field battles.

In such a situation, the Shu army can not attack Jiangling City wholeheartedly, every day waited, the consumption of military salaries and food is huge, although Shu is the land of fish and rice, and has hoarded a lot of food over the years, but if it continues to consume like this, even if it finally captures Jiangling, it seems that the gains outweigh the losses.

Fei Yunshan, Wang Zhaoyuan, Zhao Chongtao, Han Baozheng and others discussed many times, but never came up with a good solution. Gangneung is the last fortress of Nanpyeong, the city is tall, the troops and food are very sufficient, and it is impossible to take Gangneung for a while.

During this period of time, the Zhou army has been constantly harassing, so that the generals of the Shu army fell into worry, on the one hand, they are unwilling to retreat like this, on the other hand, they really can't take Jiangling, this is like chicken ribs, the food is tasteless, it is a pity to abandon it.

In the evening of this day, the generals of the Shu army quarreled again, and expressed different opinions on the attack on Jiangling, Wang Zhaoyuan thought that it was necessary to continue the attack, and the war was fought to this extent, and the Xiazhou and Guizhou of Nanping had been discarded, leaving only the land within a radius of more than 100 miles of Jiangling.

Zhao Chongtao didn't want to fight anymore, because Shu was helpless against Jiangling City, and as a supervisor, he thought that if Wang Zhaoyuan couldn't come up with a plan to conquer Jiangling, he would give up early. The sooner it is abandoned, the smaller the loss of Shu will be.

Fei Yunshan, as the deputy commander of this army, also has his own careful thoughts, but he has to admit that the combat effectiveness of Shu is too low, and conquering Guizhou and Xiazhou is because of two reasons, one is that the strength of Nanping is too weak, and the other is that Gao Baorong only resists a little in these two places, and his real purpose is to concentrate his forces and stick to Jiangling.

In this way, the shortcomings of the Shu army's insufficient combat effectiveness were revealed, not to mention, the Zhou army sent troops to help, and the problem became even more tricky.

Fei Yunshan hoped that Yang Lian could work, but after waiting for so long, there was no news from Yang Lian's side, and Fei Yunshan had a faint feeling of being deceived in his heart, Yang Lian was a person who did not keep his promises. While Fei Yunshan was pacing and thinking, a soldier of the Fei family hurriedly walked over.

"Fei Dutong, there are people outside the camp who ask to see you." Zi Bing said.

"Who is coming?" Fei Yunshan asked.

Zi Bing shook his head and said, "He didn't say it, but he was carrying a wooden box on his back, and he didn't know what it contained, so he wouldn't let his brothers see it." ”

Fei Yunshan is a little strange, this person is so mysterious? Could it be someone sent by Yang Lian? After all, the two had agreed at the beginning, and the Tang army secretly sent troops to help Shu take Jiangling. And the reward for Datang's needs is only to provide food and a certain amount of remuneration for these soldiers.

If it was Yang Lian, it would make sense to be so mysterious. Fei Yunshan thought for a while, waved his hand, and said, "Be careful, bring him to see me, don't let too many people find out." ”

"Whoa!" The soldier said and left in a hurry.

Fei Yunshan slowly paced back to the camp, but in a moment, the person who came was brought.

"I've seen the general!" Come and give a salute.

Fei Yunshan narrowed his eyes and looked at the person who came, and said, "Who are you?" ”

The person who came smiled and pointed to the east, and said, "General, the Hou Ye sent me to send a big gift." ”

Fei Yunshan looked at the wooden box with great interest, what was it containing? The visitor smiled and opened the wooden box.

"Ahh After Fei Yunshan saw the things in the wooden box, he couldn't help but scream, and took a few steps back, the wooden box contained a human head, which was covered with lime, but his face was hideous and terrifying, this was really a nightmare.

When the soldiers outside the door heard this, they all broke in, drew their long knives, and shouted, "Dutong, what's wrong?" "When I speak, I look at the people who come and am very vigilant.

Fei Yunshan took several deep breaths, then calmed down his frightened mood, waved his hand, and said, "You guys should retreat first." ”

"Dutong?" One of the soldiers was very puzzled, obviously he was very concerned about Fei Yunshan's safety, Fei Yunshan waved his hand impatiently, and snorted, and the soldiers retreated, but they were still guarding the gate, waiting to rush in at any time.

"Who is this?" Fei Yunshan regained his composure, and his cheeks, which had been red from fear, gradually turned pale.

came to the human: "This person is the third prince of the Great Zhou Emperor, Guo Xin!" ”

"You say yes, how can I trust you?" Fei Yunshan asked.

The person who came stopped talking, took out a letter from his cuff, handed it to Fei Yunshan, and said, "General Fei, this is a letter written by Master Hou, presumably the military is very familiar with it." ”

Fei Yunshan nodded, he and Yang Lian communicated with each other by writing letters, and he still admired Yang Lian's words written by a martial artist. Unfolding the letter, Fei Yunshan first looked at the payment, and saw that it was indeed written by Yang Lian, so he looked at the content carefully.

In the letter, Yang Lian carefully recounted the situation this time, and he had destroyed the grain of the Zhou army, which was very good news for Shu. The Zhou army outside Gangneung City will inevitably fall into a food crisis, and they can only survive it through relief from Gangneung City.

But in such a situation, how many times can Gao Baorong give Zhou Jun food? Once you can, twice you can, three or four times it's not necessarily. And Yang Lian said frankly in the letter that the human head in the wooden box belonged to the third prince of Guo Wei, the son of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

The third prince went south with a heavy task this time, no matter what his real purpose was, his death would be extremely unfavorable to the Great Zhou and Nanping Kingdom. If his head can be hung up, this will be a great blow to Zhou Jun. The generals of the Zhou army will definitely be very flustered, and it is inevitable that there will be flaws, and at that time, it will be the opportunity for the Shu army.

Yang Lian's suggestion has a certain degree of reasonableness, Fei Yunshan thought for a moment, and felt that this was a good suggestion, he looked at the head in the wooden box again, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, Yang Lian helped him a lot this time.

Fei Yunshan quickly summoned the others, and everyone gathered in the big tent, not understanding what was the matter with the deputy capital summoning them to come.

Fei Yunshan waved his hand, the soldiers stepped forward and put the wooden box on the desk, the wooden box opened, and a human head appeared in front of everyone, the military general could still calm down, but Wang Zhaoyuan exclaimed in surprise and couldn't help but stand up.

"Fei Dutong, what is this?" A military general said that this person was recruiting Han Baozheng.

When the others saw this human head, they couldn't help but ask, this human head was too surprising.

Fei Yunshan waved his hand to signal everyone to be quiet, and then said with a smile: "Everyone, I invited you here to show you this human head in the wooden box, because this person is very important, very important!" Fei Yunshan also emphasized.

Wang Zhaoyuan took a deep breath and calmed down, after all, he was a literati, and he would never go to the battlefield, so it was normal to be surprised when he suddenly saw this human head. At this time, when he heard Fei Yunshan talk about it, he couldn't help but ask: "Fei Dutong, who is this head?"

Fei Yunshan said with a smile: "The owner of this human head has an extraordinary identity, he is Guo Xin, the third prince of the Great Zhou Emperor!"

As soon as these words came out, someone changed color, Wang Zhaoyuan looked solemn, and asked: "Fei Dutong, the head of the prince of the Great Wednesday, why is it here?" How did you get it? ”

Regarding this human head, Fei Yunshan didn't want to explain too much, because he didn't want others to know that he used the Tang Dynasty to obtain this human head, because it was not conducive to improving his reputation, so he needed to hide this matter. Fei Yunshan's face was very calm, and he said slowly: "I got this news a few days ago, so I arranged soldiers in advance to ambush Guo Xin on the road that Guo Xin had to pass south, but I didn't expect it to be successful." ”

Everyone knows that Fei Yunshan is in the name of doing business, in fact, there is an army belonging to the family, this private army has the permission of the Son of Heaven, it is precisely because of Fei Yunshan's transcendent status that many generals in the army are very respectful of Fei Yunshan, of course, how much of this respect comes from the heart, it is difficult to say.

Fei Yunshan's explanation is reasonable, after all, he has a private army, and it is said that the equipment is better than that of the Praetorian Guard, and it may not be possible to really kill Guo Xin.

Wang Zhaoyuan's face changed, and he said: "Fei Dutong, Guo Xin is dead, the emperor of the Great Zhou will definitely be angry, if his army is pressing, I am afraid this battle will be even more difficult." ”

"It's okay, it's not a secret, I've already contacted other countries, if Da Zhou dares to send troops, the Khitan and Hedong will take the opportunity to go south, and I'm also in contact with the Dingyan army." Fei Yunshan said.

Wang Zhaoyuan nodded, he knew that Fei Yunshan knew many people in the name of business, and he wanted to be able to convince these countries. If so, then things are much easier. Wang Zhaoyuan felt that with his ability to lead troops comparable to that of Zhuge Wuhou, he would definitely be able to make achievements in the case of being attacked by the enemy on the Great Thursday.

Han Baozheng said: "Fei Dutong, what are you going to do with this human head now?" ”

Fei Yunshan laughed and said, "Han Zhaoqiu, this matter still bothers you, I don't know if you dare to do it?" ”

Han Baozheng straightened up and said, "What don't you dare to do?" But they are all commanded by fee. Han Baozheng also has the heart to rely on Fei Yunshan, or Mrs. Hua Rui, to climb up step by step, so he is very positive.
