In the north of Fuyu Mansion in Bohai State, the small city of Hui'an, the spring breeze catches the winter wind, and drives over the city wall.

A sharp-armored army galloped into the city in the evening, the banners were neatly laid, and the neat hard military boots and horses' hooves ran over the old streets, and the heavy sound of the knocking made the doors and windows of the houses on both sides of the street close, and the air of the small city was condensed, which made people dare not show their heads more than the cold snap in the middle of winter.

In a dilapidated house, there were three or five young people in old clothes, and what was exposed in the jacket was not snow-white cotton, but fluffy withered grass, and one of them, a son with a sharp-eared monkey cheek, glanced out of the window that opened a crack in the door, shrunk his body, put his hands under his armpits, turned back to his companions in the room and winked his eyebrows and said: "Where is this the army, how can you never see such a costume, could it be that it is a Wang Shi from Shangjing?" ”

In front of a small wooden table with broken corners and no lacquer, a young man with thin eyebrows snorted, "Ma Wu, what kind of uncle are you pretending, in addition to those useless garrisons outside our Hui'an County, which army have you seen, if this army can tell where it is fighting, then it is really a hell!" ”

Ma Wu said angrily: "Say it as if you have seen it, if you can tell where this army comes from, the fifth master will kneel down and lick your feet!" ”

"Hey, Ma Wu, Lao Tzu told you, I really won't wash my feet tonight, just wait for you to add it to me." The young man with thin eyebrows laughed, raised his head proudly, and stared at Ma Wu, as if he had done something extremely remarkable, "I might as well tell you the truth, this army is not the army of our Bohai Kingdom at all!" ”

"You just talk nonsense, believe that you and I are your grandson!" Ma Wu pursed his lips and returned to the table, his eyes full of contempt, "Besides, your feet have always been unwashed for a month, don't think that Lao Tzu doesn't know, and you are still talking nonsense." ”

The young man with thin eyebrows immediately became anxious, "Ma Wu, you turtle grandson, don't believe it, my source is very accurate!" After that, he gestured to a man with thick eyebrows and big eyes beside him: "This news, but Brother Tiger told me!" Brother Hu's cousin is on an errand in the county office, but he told Brother Dog about this in person, can he be wrong? Right, Brother Tiger? ”

"Brother Tiger, is this true?" Ma Wu sniffed and looked at Da Lang in front of him in surprise, who had not spoken.

Da Lang, who is known as Brother Hu, nodded slightly, glanced at the two brothers in front of him, and said in a deep voice: "A few years ago, the Khitan thieves invaded Fuyu, and His Royal Highness the Third Prince and the old general Xing of the Ming Dynasty fought in Fuzhou, which lasted nearly three months, and then lost the enemy, and moved to Shuangtong, Yitai, and Jiuyang, you have heard of this matter. When the war was closest to us, the king was a hundred miles away. ”

The young man with thin eyebrows and Ma Wu nodded vigorously, expecting Brother Hu to continue. Brother Hu breathed a sigh of relief and said unhurriedly: "But you may not know what happened later, and I only recently heard my cousin mention it." Originally, after the defeat of the Wang Division in Fuzhou, it was followed and pursued by the Khitan army, and the war was extremely difficult. But just after switching to Shuangtong, Yitai, and Jiuyang, he actually won successive battles, broke the Khitan army, beheaded tens of thousands, and even forced the Khitan Emperor Yelu Abaoji to personally lead troops to support. Do you know why there is such a difference? ”

"Why?" The young man with thin eyebrows forgot to pretend to be profound, and Ma Wu forgot to brag, and they were all deeply attracted by Da Lang's words, and stared at him intently.

Brother Hu seemed to be calm, but in fact, his breathing had unconsciously become heavier, and he said with blazing eyes: "My cousin heard from the county that the reason why Wang Shi was able to turn the situation around and turn defeat into victory was all because His Royal Highness the Third Prince invited an invincible reinforcement!" It was with this support army that His Royal Highness the Third Prince led the Khitan army by the nose and drove Yelu Abaoji out of Shuangtong, Yitai, and Jiuyang! Otherwise, we would have already caused a scourge to the Khitan thieves here. ”

"Reinforcements? What kind of reinforcements are so powerful, not the king from Shangjing? Ma Wu's eyes widened in shock.

"Master Wang? Wang Shi is not defeated in Fuzhou! The young man with thin eyebrows disdained to say more, "Don't interrupt, listen to Brother Hu!" ”

Brother Hu picked up the tea bowl with a missing mouth and cracked lines, drank a sip of cold water, moistened his throat, and then continued: "Of course this support army is not Wang Shi, didn't I say it, it is the reinforcement invited by His Royal Highness the Third Prince, this support army, but from the Tang Dynasty!" It is the mighty master of Datang! The elite division of the Celestial Empire and the Tang Dynasty, is that comparable to ordinary armies? I don't know if you've ever heard of the envoy of the Tang Lulong Festival? This army is the elite of the Tang Dynasty Lulong Jiedu envoy! ”

"The envoy of the Tang Lulong Festival?" Ma Wu and the young man with thin eyebrows both swallowed their saliva, unable to speak, as some residents of Mendao County, they naturally knew that Datang was the suzerainty of the Bohai Sea, it was an unattainable existence, and it was difficult to even look up.

Brother Hu drank the cold and tasteless water in the bowl in a row, and when he put down the tea bowl, there was a knocking sound on the table that was obviously a little heavier, and his eyes were hot, "I met my cousin on the street today, and I wanted to invite him to drink, but he actually opened his mouth to refuse, and only after careful questioning did he know that it was the county government that got the news, and there was an army entering the city today, or the army of the Tang Dynasty of the Celestial Empire, and the county government was preparing for this, where could he still care about drinking with me?" ”

"I see," Ma Wu and the young man with thin eyebrows looked at each other and suddenly realized.

Suddenly, there was a loud bang on the desktop, and the two looked at each other in surprise, but it was Brother Hu who took the case, only to see that his arms were tense, and he said generously with red eyes: "The country is in trouble, the husband is responsible, the Khitan thieves invade my territory, it is really unbearable, I have no way to serve the country before, and I don't say much, but now there is a powerful army of the Tang Dynasty to help, this is the time when you and I are fighting to defend the country!" It is your inherent mission to protect the country and fight thieves, and now that the army of the kingdom has come to help, do we still have to do nothing? ”

The young man with thin eyebrows and Ma Wushuang were stunned, and they didn't know why the old man in front of them suddenly said this.

But Brother Hu's next words immediately made them understand. Brother Tiger picked up the broken bowl that had no clear water and slapped it heavily on the table, because of the excessive strength, the pottery bowl was broken, Brother Tiger said excitedly: "I am waiting for a good man, born with a seven-foot body, standing in the world, standing on the top of the sky and the earth, how can I live in a humble room, eat dregs and chaff, and drink little water?" Now that a great opportunity is in front of you, as long as you follow the king of the Celestial Dynasty and drive the Khitan thieves out of the country, you will be able to make immortal achievements, glorify your ancestors, and from now on in front of the illustrious people, you will not be tempted? ”

The numbness reacted quickly, and immediately took the case, "Tempting, of course tempting!" ”

The young man with thin eyebrows cringed a little, "But Brother Tiger, that's a fate, just in case"

"What if?" Brother Tiger waved his hand, "Now you and I are just a cheap life, if the luck is bad, the head will fall off and there will be a big scar, what's the pity?" There is a saying in the Tang Dynasty of the Celestial Empire, I heard my cousin talk about it, and I will give it to you today: You can't eat five tripods in life, and you should cook five tripods in death, so you are a big husband! ”

The army that marched into Hui'an County this evening was the Junzidu that had broken through from Shuangtong, Yitai, and Jiuyang in order to cover Youzhou and Bohai Alliance, and a Bohai Navy of about 2,000 people. Some time ago, when Yelu Abaoji went south to Changling Mansion, he left Yelu Enemy Lugu to lead the division to pursue Junzidu here, because these days, Junzi has been dealing with him. During this period, the two came into contact several times, and there were more than ten battles of all sizes, and Junzi has been waiting for an opportunity to get rid of Si Jinbu and go south to join Li Congjing. It's just that Si Jinbu is an elite division in the end, and there are many people, even if he is able to fight with a gentleman, Guo Wei's wisdom and courage can only guarantee that he will not be bitten by it, and it is really difficult to go south.

The reason why it entered Hui'an County was the need for the army to supply and rest. After all, there are nearly 2,000 Bohai Navy in the army, and the leading generals are not small, and with the authorization of Daming'an, it is not difficult to contact and dispatch local officials.

The sharp soldiers of the military intelligence department who acted with the gentlemen were Wu Changjian's stopper.

The county magistrate of Hui'an County was born with a short stature, and his two goatees were not elegant, but made him look a little funny. However, for Guo Wei and his entourage, the Hui'an County Order was extraordinarily respectful, respectful and almost flattering, all the way from outside the city gate to welcome Guo Wei and others into the county government, not to mention, but also bowed his head and waist, and everything was arranged very thoughtfully, like a servant.

It is no wonder that the accompanying Bohai Navy generals are nobles of the Bohai Kingdom, and they themselves are related to the royal family. The general of the Bohai Navy named Wang Lingchen was obviously accustomed to this, and contrary to the obedient posture that he had drawn in front of Guo Wei before, he walked with his chin up all the time, and his noble posture made people suspicious, and he was raising his eyebrows.

After the official office and the Hui'an county order implemented the supply items, Guo Wei got up and said goodbye, which made the Hui'an county order very surprised, stood up slightly, and left Guo Wei with a force, "The banquet has been prepared, and it is waiting to be washed for General Guo, why don't General Guo feast and drink before leaving?" After Guo Wei refused, the Hui'an County Commander said: "General Guo, as a general of the Shangguo, is fighting for the Bohai State this time. ”

If this is the case again and again, the Hui'an County Order finally even pulled Wang Lingchen to retain Guo Wei and other generals.

Guo Wei listened to the translation of the sharp soldier of the Military Intelligence Department, did not greet him too politely, and after expressing his meaning concisely and undoubtedly, he left.

After going out, he stepped on a war horse and left the official office, and Guo Wei hurried to the temporary garrison of Junzidu without stopping. On the way, Wu Changjian suddenly touched his chin and said, "General Guo, I have some questions, but I still think it's more appropriate to say it." ”

"Commander Wu, but it doesn't hurt to say it." Guo Wei looked at Wu Changjian Dao.

A meaningful sneer appeared at the corner of Wu Changjian's mouth, "The behavior of this Hui'an county magistrate is a little unusual. He flattered Wang Lingchen and flattered him, no matter how thick he was, but he did the same to me, it seemed unreasonable, especially when he left me to wait for the banquet, he was even more eager to an unusual extent. The general may not have seen it clearly, when I left, Wang Lingchen had a trace of discoloration on his face, it was definitely not disappointment, although this look was very shallow, but it was clear that there was a trace of impatience that should not appear in this. ”

In some aspects, although Guo Wei was not as "meticulous as a hair" as Wu Changjian, after listening to what Wu Changjian said, he also felt a little strange, and even asked: "Then what is Commander Wu's judgment?" ”

Wu Changjian did not irresponsibly throw out a conclusion directly, but slowly said with a gloomy gaze: "This place in Hui'an is only a hundred miles away from the occupied area of Buyeo, and the power of the Khitan army is likely to have infiltrated here. ”

Between the words, Wu Changjian loosened the reins of the horse, and his ten fingers crossed in front of his abdomen, and his tone became more and more cold, "The close division and the heart of the abdomen are called the strongest divisions of the Khitan army, and the Yelu enemy Lugu personally led 20,000 people to encircle and intercept our troops, but in the past two days, we have thrown them away, which seems to be worth celebrating, but if you think about it deeply, it is not without another possibility." ”

"Strategic encirclement?" Guo Wei uttered a simple four-word guess.

Wu Changjian nodded solemnly, "Very likely." It is unlikely that Yelu Enemy Lugu will accurately judge our battle route and next destination, but it is not difficult to list a few suspicious places and then unite with the Khitan army in Fuzhou to infiltrate, surrender, and control these places. In this way, a strategic encirclement is possible. ”

"Therefore, the Hui'an County Order is questionable." Guo Wei nodded quietly.

"Be careful to sail the ship of ten thousand years." Wu Chang Kendo.

"What if you are suspicious?" Guo Wei asked.

Wu Changjian smiled weirdly, "Take one more look, and you'll know the answer." ”

Guo Wei bowed slightly, "If the Hui'an County Commander really votes for the Khitan and wants to deal with us here, the banquet will not end like this." ”

Guo Wei's speculation soon had a result. Soon after he arrived at the temporary residence of Junzidu, an official from the official office sent a sumptuous wine and food, and said that these wine and food were originally banquet delicacies, since Guo Wei had no time to go to the banquet, and the Hui'an County Order could not fail the friendship of the landlord, so he sent these wine and food over so that Guo Wei and others could enjoy it in the station.

I have to say that this heart is very sincere and touching.

Looking at the wine and food full of a few small tables, Wu Changjian smiled predictively: "Such a sumptuous food, is this planning to wipe out all the generals of our army?" It's a pity that in such a thing as poisoning, the MI is the grandmaster. ”

In the temporary station, the gentleman, who had only been resting for a long time, suddenly gathered quickly.

The Military Intelligence Department immediately found out that the wine and food sent by the Hui'an County Order contained highly poisonous.

If it weren't for the military intelligence department, if it weren't for Wu Changjian's cautious wit, all the generals would be dead at this moment.

Guo Wei's face was gloomy and terrifying, he looked at Wu Changjian, "Wang Lingchen is dead, and the Bohai Navy will be in chaos." ”

Wu Changjian responded: "The Hui'an County Order is placed nearby, and the eyeliner that monitors the movements of our army has been pulled out. I have checked before entering the city, and there is no Khitan army in the city, but I think it should be imminent. ”

Guo Wei and Wu Changjian both turned over and got on their horses, Guo Wei said: "The Bohai Navy can't be saved, leave the city quickly!" ”

"General, where am I going?" Lin Ying came over to ask for help.

Guo Wei raised his head, only a moment of deep groaning, and then said decisively: "Since the Khitan army has laid a net of heaven and earth, it can't go south, and if you want to get out, you have to do the opposite!" ”

"What do you mean?"

"This place goes south to Xijing, Yalu Mansion, and to the West Building, the capital of the Khitan Kingdom, and the distance is almost the same." Guo Wei remembered Li Congjing's overall plot to deal with the Khitan, and suddenly smiled, "It seems that I will also come once this time, and I will not be affected by the life of the monarch outside!" ”

"Order, the whole army will go out of the West Gate, the target, the Khitan Capital, the West Building!"

That day and night, Hui'an County was in turmoil.

The Bohai Navy fought with the Bohai Navy.

When the first Khitan army galloped, the county seat was already on fire everywhere, and the city gate of Hui'an County in front of them was wide open!

The Khitan army entered the city without hindrance, and the Bohai Navy and the people of Bohai in Hui'an County suffered countless casualties.

However, when Jelu Lugu arrived in Hui'an, the gentleman had already disappeared into the night, and his whereabouts were unknown. Hui'an County, where there was a river of blood, did not leave a single corpse of a gentleman and a soldier.

On this night, there was a man called Brother Hu, and his brothers Thin Mei and Ma Wu died in the streets and alleys.
