Twenty-two flew west, reflecting half of the sky in blood red. More than a dozen horses galloped thousands of posts and concaves, worked, shuttled between the mountains and forests, but saw the horses foaming at the mouth. People sweat and rain, obviously in a hurry. Huan Qingshuai ran to the front of the team, and his face, which was unrequited and rarely smiling, was even more solemn at this time.

At the current rate, you should be able to enter Qingyang City tonight at the earliest, right? In any case, it must be ahead of the Jingyuan army, otherwise things will not be good. As soon as he thought of this, there were several exclamations from behind him, and he turned his head to look, but it was a servant who was overturned to the ground by a war horse.

Pulling the reins, he frowned and asked very displeasedly, "What's the matter?" ”

"Dashuai, the horse is no good!" The fallen knight stood up with the help of his companion and said in chagrin.

"Dashuai, I've been on the road all day. People are sleepy and tired, do you rest for a while before leaving? An officer who had followed him for many years asked cautiously tentatively.

Qu Duan didn't think about it, and categorically vetoed: "The situation is urgent, day and night must fight, how can you stop here?" Today, the lice have to rush to Feng's town anyway. "Within a radius of thirty or forty miles, there are rare people with undulating mountains, and there is only one Fengchuan Town, where to go. As long as you get to Fengchuan, it will not be far to go to Qingyang Mansion.

When the officer heard this, he looked at the soldier who had fallen from his horse with a sad face, and saw that his face was full of pain, and it was obvious that it was impossible to gallop on his horse again. The brethren were exhausted. No one can take him away, how can this be good? Looking left and right, there are mountains and forests in front of you, and the sky is getting darker, there is no village in front of you, there is no store in the back, and there is not even a ghost.

"Leave one man to look after him, and continue on his way." After Qu Duan threw down this sentence, his legs clamped, and the war horse named "Iron Elephant" under his crotch galloped out. More than a dozen knights looked at each other. Only one person had to be left behind, and the rest hurried to chase after them. Not for a while. The brigade disappeared to the other end of the post road, and only two soldiers were left looking around, not knowing where to stay at night."

At the same time, less than a hundred miles away in Qingyang City.

Although it is the location of the handsome division of Huanqing Road, this is the west after all, and it is not as good as Chang'an. It's not as good as Tokyo. As soon as it was dusk. And the people of the city returned to their homes like weary birds. There are few pedestrians on the street, and the windows of each house are dimly lit, and if you want to come to the house, you can also gather together as a family and have a meal and chat. It was a happy one, and everything seemed calm and peaceful. Everywhere the city gates, drawbridges were pulled up, and although there was a battle on the front line, Qingyang Mansion seemed to be no different from usual.

In the side hall of Liu Guangshi's house, the lights were bright, in addition to him, Xu Yan, Liu Ziyu, Liu Hao, Li Yanxian and others were all there, and what was surprising was that there was a person who should not have appeared here who was also present. Kang Sui!

The atmosphere was very weird, Liu Guangshi sat on the main seat, holding the tea bowl without taking a sip, thinking about something. Xu Yan's face was unhappy, staring at the ground as if he was sulking with someone. Liu Ziyu sat upright, Liu Hao and Li Yanxian stood at the bottom. also without saying a word. As for Kang Sui. It seems a little out of place" Suddenly, Xu Yan opened his mouth to break the silence: "Such a big matter, why don't you discuss it with us, what is your name?" The displeasure in his tone was clearly revealed.

Liu Ziyu arched his hand: "Don't blame Xu Feng, this matter should not be delayed, and it will change later." Please be considerate of the deputy commander and the commander. ”

Xu Yan still wanted to blame him, but he thought that this person represented the Xuanfu Disposal Division, and the boss did vote for him, so he didn't have any reason to find him unlucky. Then he scattered the fire elsewhere. Dissatisfied: "Actually, why is it so troublesome? Please ask my father to directly wave Qingyang, why bother us to be a pioneer. ”

"With all due respect, if Xu Jingluo leads the army straight to Qingyang, firstly, it will be unreasonable, and secondly, it will startle the snake, and I am afraid it will cause conflicts." Liu Ziyu retorted.

Xu Yan was speechless, he also knew in his heart that he only brought thousands of people here, in fact, to paralyze the Huanqing army. They would never have expected it. The father and the commander were still behind with the army.

The hall was silent for a while, and after a long time, Liu Guangshi came out to play a round when he saw this, and said with a smile: "Liu Ziyu represents the Xuanfu Disposal Division, and he is authorized by Xu Xuanfu, so it is understandable to do so." Let's follow it, it's not someone else, it doesn't have to be like this. It doesn't have to be that way. ”

Xu Yan glanced at him and said with a smile: "Since the deputy marshal said so, there is no objection to the humble position." Kangsui. ”

"Humble duty." No one has paid attention to him. At this time, Xu Yan shouted, and Kang Sui walked quickly to the hall and answered.

"Things have come to this point, and I believe you understand it in your heart. The one who knows the times is Junjie, Qu Duan is your commander, and you know better than anyone what he does. This time, Xu Xuanfu is in charge of Shaanxi, and the previous routine will not work! Go. It's up to you! Xu Yan said at one end of the shelf, and Kang followed the promise, and said yes again and again. But I scolded in my heart, how old are you? Turn to get your shouting command? Do you think I'm scared of you? If it weren't for your ninth uncle sending someone to spread the word, he would like me to help. Just because you want to control Qingyang City?

"Kang Sui, the matter is urgent, and within tonight, the whole city must be controlled. Do you have any suggestions for this? Liu Guangshi asked in a deep voice.

"Deputy marshal, most of the officers in charge of the army in the city now have a relationship with the lowly position. Before coming here. The humble post has ordered his subordinates to invite the commanders of Qingyang City to the banquet under various names. Kang Sui replied.

Liu Guangshi's face was happy, this is good. Although he is said to be a deputy marshal, he is an outsider after all, which will inevitably arouse suspicion. But Kang Sui is the part of the curved end. No one will doubt him! The commander of Qingyang has left the barracks and posts, and I only need to send troops separately to arrest and detain these people, so why worry about things not happening? As long as Qingyang City is controlled, it is equivalent to cutting off the retreat of Quduan, can he still be captured without restraint?

But his little abacus was immediately denied by Liu Ziyu.

Qu Duan must have received the news as well. He's going to be back in a hurry. If we take control of the city, let it cut off its retreat. What if he notices that something is wrong? ”

Xu Yan waved his hand: "Does his surname Qu dare to have two hearts?" Even if the Xuanfu Disposal Division directly ordered him to be removed from his position, would he dare to resist? Look for trouble! ”

Hearing this, everyone in the hall had different expressions. How do you send such a person to do things? Fortunately, the decision is not in his hands, otherwise there will be chaos. According to you, what are you doing with your troops? Isn't that just in case?

Li Yanxian said at this time: "As long as you control the city." There is no other way to go. ”

This sentence caught everyone's attention. It was he who proposed to win over Kang Sui, and at this time everyone wanted to hear what he had to say. Liu Ziyu, in particular, asked politely, "Oh? I would like to hear about it. ”
