Chapter 414
"There are two cases." Li Yanxian did not appear "stage fright" in front of the chiefs. It's just that the chiefs have different expressions, Liu Guangshi looks on the sidelines, Xu Yan simply drifts his gaze away, and Liu Ziyu looks like he listens attentively. "If Qu Duan didn't notice it, it would naturally be the best if he entered Qingyang City."
Yes, if the curved end automatically "enters the urn", it is indeed a lot of trouble, and the next thing is a matter of course.
"If he notices something strange and does not go into the city, there is almost no place to go. Therefore......"
Before Li Yanxian finished speaking, Xu Yan had already refuted: "How do you know that he has nowhere to go?" Although there is our Jingyuan Army in the west and Uncle Jiu in the south, there are Dangxiang people in the north and Jurchens in the east. β
As soon as these words came out, the audience changed color. Indeed it is! If Qu Duan senses that something is wrong and takes a risk, who dares to guarantee that he is not the next Zhang Shen? If he follows in the footsteps of Zhang Rebellion, then the face of the Western Army will be lost to his home, and two of the six handsome guards will surrender to the Jurchens one after another! Moreover, if Qu Duan has two hearts, this matter is terrible, Zhenjiang Xingzai will definitely investigate this matter, who will be responsible at that time? Xu Xuanfu!
"Not really, right? For Qu Duan, Ben Shuai didn't have any dealings, but I heard that this person has always been domineering and doesn't listen to moderation. But this kind of thing of betraying the country and defecting to the enemy, I'm afraid it hasn't reached that part, right? Liu Guangshi interjected. After all, this time, the boss just wanted to collect his military power, and he didn't plan to do anything to him.
"Hmph, the surname Qu can do anything, don't underestimate him." Xu Yan was probably influenced by his father Xu Yuan, and he was not afraid to guess the end with the worst malice.
When Liu Ziyu came, Xu Shao said that if the Western Army did not unite, Shaanxi would be in danger. Even if it is forced to rebel or defect to the enemy, this matter must be done. can't spoil a pot of soup in Shaanxi because of him alone! Something happened, he was on top!
Just as he was about to explain this to the officials, a voice suddenly came from outside. Liu Guangshi's face changed greatly, who is so bold, I have repeatedly instructed that any idle people here should not get close to half a step, and they dare to make noise outside the door? immediately scolded the outside world: "Where are the pigs and dogs noisy!" β
"Deputy marshal, the villain has an urgent report!" A man's voice came from outside. Liu Guangshi heard that it was his cronies, and a look of doubt flashed on his face, and then he called in.
When he came in and found that there were so many people in the hall, he was a little stunned, and his steps were slow, but he immediately walked up quickly, and stood in the hall without speaking. Seeing this, Liu Guangshi waved his hand and said, "But it doesn't hurt to say it." β
"Deputy marshal, Qu Jingluo has just entered the city." The man said in a deep voice.
There was a deathly silence in the hall, and everyone knew they had heard correctly. But everyone doesn't want to believe it's true. What are you doing? Let's discuss it here, and then we will enter the city! How is this life good? didn't get to someone, don't be calculated by the surname Qu in turn, that's a joke!
The most panicked person is Kang Sui, he is already an outlier in this hall, and now Qu Duan suddenly returned to Qingyang, if he is not careful, he is not a person at both ends, how can he not panic? But this man was also calm, and when he saw that the people in the hall did not speak, he tried his best to calm his mind and whispered: "The matter has come to this, and I have to do it hard." β
After saying this, several eyes fell on him at the same time. After Liu Ziyu glanced at him a few times, he nodded solemnly and said, "Yes, the arrow is on the string, I have to send it!" β
However, when Qu Duan came back this time, he must have received the news. When he entered the city, I am afraid that the first thing he did was to gather the commanders at all levels, and then join the troops...... "Liu Guangshi reminded everyone "kindly". He is the deputy envoy of the Huanqing Jinglu Pacification Division and the head of the soldiers and horses sent by the Shaanxi Xuanfu Disposal Division, even if he tears his face this time, it is unlikely that Qu Duan will do anything to him. But Xu Yan from Jing may not be necessarily.
The hall was noisy for a while, and everyone was gossiping. Liu Ziyu sat still, staring at the ground intently, for a long time, and slowly got up. Everyone looked at him, only to hear him say in a very firm tone: "Preemptive." β
Kang Sui couldn't wait, Huo Ran got up and responded: "I'll arrange it!" Please send troops to respond! At this time, the commanders should be in ......"
"No!" Liu Ziyu shouted loudly, startling everyone.
The corners of Kang Sui's mouth twitched unnaturally a few times, and he asked in a lost voice, "What's ......?"
"Don't care about the commander!" Liu Ziyu did not have a trace of expression on his face.
Although they all guessed the meaning of this, Liu Guangshi still asked: "What do you think?" β
"Qu Duan!" Liu Ziyu raised his head and said.
Liu Guangshi re-examined the staff officer Liu in front of him, who was younger than him, and had to admit that he had lost his eyes. Unexpectedly, this is still a hard stubble, and he went straight to the end of the curve!
After all, facing the commander who had served for many years, Kang Sui unconsciously shivered, and asked tentatively: "Dare to ask, how, how to ......"
"Control him! Right away! Right now! β
Xu Yan has always been the most jubilant, but at this time he was a little hesitant. Qu Duan entered the city, like the return of the dragon to the sea, is it too risky to move him now? If you fail, you may be the first to be unlucky.
Liu Guangshi also asked without concern: "This is too aggressive, isn't it?" β
Liu Ziyu quickly took out something from his sleeve, shook it in his hand, and showed it to everyone: "I have Xu Xuanfu's handwritten warrant, and there is Xuanfu to dispose of anything!" β
Whether it was Xu Shao's handwriting or not, everyone didn't know, but it was covered with a bright red seal, and there was no doubt that it was Xuanfu Disposal Division. Seeing that everyone was speechless, Liu Ziyu said directly: "Xu Xuan, please mobilize the troops, cooperate with Kang Sui, take advantage of Qu Duan to take him down!" β
Xu Yan didn't say anything, his eyes rolled wildly, weighing the pros and cons. Li Yanxian saw it in his eyes, anxious in his heart, and wanted to tell him, you are afraid of a fool, your ninth uncle has already laid down heavy troops in Ningzhou, and he can come to Qingyang City within one day at the latest, and his people have already entered Qingyang City! You just have to cross a heart and take the curved end, and the soldiers and generals along the way around Qing have become a rabble!
But the words were on his lips several times, and he endured them. The person who connected with him repeatedly told him not to leak half of the news related to the Purple Golden Tiger. just persuaded: "This is an opportunity, Qu Duan sent it to the door by himself, took him, and everything is over!" β
Liu Ziyu finally became a little anxious, and asked in an accentuated tone, "What?" Xu Xuan, the order of the Xuanfu Disposal Division is not used? β
There are two flowers, one on each branch. This end is still squeaking, but the curved end is in the wind and fire. galloped all the way back to the city, the people were really sleepy and tired, but Quduan didn't even drink saliva, and as soon as he entered the city, he went straight to the Shuaifu. At this time, he didn't know that Xu Yan had already led thousands of soldiers and horses to be stationed in his lair.
It was already dark, and the sound of horses' hooves disturbed the people's dreams, but the most the men could do was curse, turn over, and continue to hug their mother-in-law and sleepy. Little did they know that tonight, there was a high chance that a bloody clash would break out!
At this time, the officials of the Shuai Mansion had already returned to their respective homes, but the sentinels on duty were still standing under the lanterns like wooden stakes. Qu Duan and the other dozens of horsemen swept over like a lightning speed, and rushed straight into the mansion gate, Qu Shi Yin Litang ordered, immediately summon officials at all levels and commanders in the city!
Panting, sweating profusely, Huan Qingshuai sat on the handsome position, his subordinates found a bowl of cold water and handed it to him, Qu Duan took it, cooed and poured it down, let out a long sigh of relief, wiped the sweat on his forehead, and finally felt a little more steady. Hurry up and hurry, and finally rush back, if you let Jingyuan's troops enter the city, the consequences will be worrying.
The sweat on his body had not yet dried, and the sound of footsteps had already sounded outside, and Qu Duan looked for prestige, only to see a few staff officers and staff officers and office officials hurrying in, and there were two or three military attachΓ©s in military uniforms behind them. This group of people came into the hall, and they greeted him, Qu Duan couldn't take care of the courtesy, glanced at the hall, frowned and asked: "This marshal has clearly ordered, and the military attaches above the commander have all come to the marshal's mansion, why are there only a few of you?" β
The man in charge of delivering the message stood up and replied: "Great marshal, I have been ordered to give orders, and I have learned that most of the officers in charge of the army in the city are not at their residences. β
Qu Duan became more and more puzzled: "Can you ask where to go?" β
"It is said that almost all of them went to the appointment." The man replied.
Appointment? This is strange, the military attaches in the army, in their spare time, it is also common to have dinner in twos and threes. But so many commanders went to the appointment at the same time? Could it be that they were together? As soon as he thought of this, he asked about it.
Fortunately, the work was quite reliable, and he inquired about the matter clearly, and immediately replied: "I have also asked about the humble position, and the commanders went to the banquet at the invitation of their colleagues in the army. As for who sent the invitation, I didn't fully inquire, two of them, one was the inspection envoy of Huaiweibao, and the other was the military envoy of Weibian Village. β
When Qu Duan heard this, he secretly thought to himself, these two were Kang Sui's subordinates, and they came back from defeat with him and ate the military stick. But he didn't think much about it, maybe he invited his comrades to eat and drink, so that he could take care of it in the future. While thinking about it, he asked casually: "During this period of time, does Shuai Si have important affairs?" β
"Does the marshal know that the Xuanfu Disposal Division sent the Jingyuan Army to support Huanqing?" Senator Shuaiji asked.
Qu Duan nodded and replied without hesitation: "Ben Shuai came back this time for this matter." β
The senator paused, as if he was pondering something, and after a while, he asked: "Xu Yan, the eldest son of Xu Yide of Jingyuan, led thousands of soldiers and horses into the city, can you know the commander?" β
There was a loud noise, so startled that the civil and military officials couldn't help but tremble! Qu Duan stood up and said, "What did you say?" β
"Jing, Jingyuan Xu Jingluo, the eldest son Xu Yan, led thousands of soldiers and horses to enter the city......" The senator was so bluffed that he couldn't speak clearly.
Qu Duan's eyes were like torches, he really wanted to go down, one by one, and give them a slap in the face!
Didn't you say it would only arrive in two days? Why has the Jingyuan army already entered the city? When you think about it, you immediately understand! If they make it clear that they want to calculate you, will they honestly tell you when they will arrive? Eighty percent is the trick of the people of the Xuanfu Disposal Division or the Jingyuan Jingluo Pacification Division, deliberately disturbing the audio-visual, and deliberately saying so!
Trying his best to calm his emotions down, Qu Duan asked, "In other words, there are thousands of Jingyuan troops in Qingyang City now?" β
"Exactly, at that time, the humble position also questioned that the Yanke army should be stationed outside the city so far. However, the other party has someone from the Xuanfu Disposal Division, and it is inconvenient for us to resist. The senator saw that he had eased up a little, and his courage recovered slightly. Qu Duan's subordinates are very interesting, as long as he doesn't ask, none of the others dare to answer.
Qu Duan didn't take the brand of Xuanfu Disposal Division seriously, this is Shaanxi, not Tokyo, not Zhenjiang, Xu Shao wants to change the practice that has lasted for hundreds of years with his own strength, it is not so easy. Now that he is back in the city, those who want to do something behind his back may have to retract the thief's hand. But then again, the heart of defense is indispensable, now in the city of Qingyang, there are thousands of Jingyuan troops and thousands of Huanqing army, and they are back, in case ...... "Tomorrow, pass on the order of the marshal, and all the Jingyuan troops will withdraw from the city." Since Xu Xuanfu sent them to reinforce them, then go to the front line and don't stay in Qingyang City. Other than that...... Command all the gates of the city to be on guard tonight in time of war. Liu Bo, you immediately mobilize the troops and horses of the headquarters to come to the Shuaifu. β
According to the arrangement, they discussed for a while, and the later the hour came, Qu Duan ordered the subordinate civil and military officials to retreat. After driving for so long, he was really tired and had to rest.
Just as the officials slowly withdrew from the door, they heard a loud noise from inside. The man whose leg had already crossed the threshold half a step had to stop as he was, and looked sideways in.
Qu Duan seemed to have been immobilized, standing behind the handsome case, his eyes widened, and he couldn't hide his shock!
Because he suddenly thought of two things, one was that the Jingyuan soldiers had entered the city, and the other was that many commanders had been invited to the banquet. If these two things were looked at separately, they were not enough to arouse his suspicions, but when they were connected, they made him feel horrified! Although Kang Sui has followed him for many years, not long ago, he was punished by himself for losing the battle. It just so happened that at this time, the people of the Xuanfu Disposal Division led the Jingyuan army into Qingyang City! Coincidentally, when he came back, the commanders were invited to the banquet!
Too many coincidences, that means, not normal!
Could it be that they want to...... Draw from the bottom of the kettle! Intentions are not good for themselves! Wrong! They wouldn't have expected that they would come back from the front at this time! Could it be another coincidence? If that's the case, then you're stupid enough to crash into the trap by yourself!
Rotten! Something is bound to happen tonight!
The curved body couldn't help but shake, and a cold sweat broke out. Outside the hall, a cadre of civil and military officials was still waiting for his orders with their faces on their faces. But I saw that the big handsome hurriedly snatched down the hall, put on the helmet, didn't say a word, and rushed out the door quickly, followed by more than ten guards!
"What is this doing, Dashuai? What, how did you get scared? Someone muttered.
"Who knows? Hasn't it always been like this? Shall we go back? The colleague asked.
But he said that Qu Duan went out of the Shuaifu, and he didn't even have time to change the horse, so he stepped directly on the back of the horse and shouted: "Get out of the city!" So he took the lead and ran to the northern city.
At the mouth of an alley diagonally opposite the Shuai Mansion, two faint figures stood there like statues, just two pairs of alert eyes, staring at Qu Duan out of the mansion, getting on the horse, and galloping. Then it disappeared into the darkness...... Qu Duan was anxious, he had lived for decades, and he really had never been fooled like this! In fact, if you say that if you are really fooled, you will admit it, I fucking hit the knife by myself! Needless to say, as soon as you enter the city, the other party will definitely get the news! I'm looking forward to breaking out of the moat now!
The horses' hooves trampled on the sun-scorched ground with a crisp and loud sound. Not long ago, the people who were disturbed by their dreams suffered another crime, and some people couldn't help it, scolded loudly, and simply covered their heads with quilts.
Passing through street after street, the North Gate is already in sight. But Qu Duan didn't dare to be careless, he knew that as long as he didn't go out of the city, the knife would always hang above his head!
When I finally arrived, there was not far from the city gate, and I could even vaguely see the figures of the patrolling soldiers on the city tower!
But right now! A sudden movement sounded! The sound was like a torrential rain falling on a June day without warning! Crackling and banging on the roof tiles! It's like a whole basket of beans, poured into the iron pot with a bang!
This voice is too familiar to those who have been in the army for a long time!
Qu Duan gritted his teeth, and the "Iron Elephant", which had never been regarded as a treasure, was also whipped by him! The fierce horse is in pain, and he gallops wildly!
It's late! On the street in front of the city gate, countless figures poured out on the left and right sides at the same time! As soon as you hear that sonorous sound, you know that it is a collision of weapons! Something suddenly appeared in front of him, and Qu Duan didn't have time to retract the reins, only to feel that his body suddenly took off into the air, and the huge force made him rush out! Hit the ground hard! Behind it, the iron elephant hissed!
Tripping horses!
This fall was not light, and I felt that all my internal organs were shattered, and it was painful! Qu Duan didn't dare to stop at all, quickly got up, drew his saber, clenched his hands, and stared at the wall in front of him. Behind him, the guards hurriedly grabbed the war horses and showed their weapons one after another!
No one on either side spoke, and they confronted each other like this! Qu Duan knew very well in his heart that this time he was afraid that it would be more than lucky!
After a few moments, the crisp and slow sound of horses' hooves came from far and near, and a ball of fire gradually shone in. At a fixed glance, the number of riders turned out of the street without hurry, and stood in front of the human wall. By the light of the fire, you can see the person on horseback, and there are Liu Guangshi and others!
At the same time, dense footsteps sounded behind me, and I didn't know that I didn't know if I didn't have to look back, I was surrounded.
I have long known that Xu Shao must have other plans for sending Liu Guangshi and a few people here. At that time, he went out on the expedition and did not dare to grant them the military authority, so he stayed in Qingyang, but he put the thief at home...... "Dashuai, there are people in the surrounding houses." One of his subordinates whispered from behind him. Qu Duan looked up and saw that there were human hands on the roof.
With a sneer, he clenched the knife in his hand tighter.
