Chapter 21 Condolences to Liu Qi

The inside line risked death to report that Liu Qi actually died three days before Ouyang Xuan arrived, very suddenly, according to the inside line, Liu Qi, who could already walk on the ground, suddenly died at night. And without warning, along with the eunuchs who were waiting by his side, he also disappeared, and he did not mourn for three days. In this way, Ouyang Xuan had a trace of bad feelings, and hurriedly circled the horse back to the camp. Ordered the Yulin army to enter the battle state, and ordered someone to find a Han envoy.

"How is the Emperor Tai's health now? Do you know? Today, I wanted to go to the palace to visit the emperor, but I didn't see him because I had an urgent matter in our army." "Oh, Your Majesty also learned from Da Honglu that although the Emperor Taishang has some sores in his body, he can still survive for a few days, just waiting for His Majesty to go for treatment." "Oh, it's okay, please ask the Han envoy to convey to His Majesty the Emperor of the Han Dynasty, and please also send officials according to the etiquette system to meet the Emperor Taishang. If I go alone, I am afraid that it is not in line with the Han etiquette."

"In this case, Your Majesty will convey it to your Majesty." After speaking, the Han envoy bowed and bowed, and withdrew from the camp. Peng Fei stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, the minister sees that there is fraud in this, and he has obviously died for three days, so he is afraid that he will frame His Majesty, so he has to guard against it." "Well, I also have this intention, so I quickly sent an order to the whole army to take strict precautions, and sent a special team to prepare, and I want to make it enter the prison of the Han court to save people." "No!" Peng Fei took the order and assigned the task.

In the past few days, Ouyang Xuan has not taken another step, but has only trained the rescue plan with the five-person training of the special group in the battalion. Until half a month later, the Han court did not send anyone to contact him. However, Ouyang Xuan repeatedly sent people to Honglu Mansion to ask for arrangements to meet the Emperor Taishang, and at the same time secretly moved Zhao Zhou's family to Huaxia through trade routes. Every day, the lights are lit on Zhao Zhou's mansion, and the noise has achieved the purpose of confusing the public. Another half a month has passed, and it has entered the middle of November, and there is still no movement in the Han Court, which is definitely a great insult to reason, after all, Ouyang Xuan is also the emperor of a country, as for ignoring it in this valley, it is extremely impolite. Ouyang Xuan knows Liu Che too well, he is a complete hypocrite, especially in the history of playing with courtiers and Loulan, Ouyang Xuan has seen through this trick, but he is very calm, every day is hunting training, not out of the valley, far away from the Zhongnan Mountain Palace.

After failing to get the arrangement of the Han Court for more than a month, Ouyang Xuan ordered to pull out the camp and return to Xia Gu. Through the Han envoy, he handed Liu Che a sternly worded letter of state, reprimanding Liu Che for being inconsiderate and incompatible. The group had just traveled 200 miles through Xianyang, and the horns sounded all around. Ouyang Xuan ordered to stop, leaning slightly, and there were nearly 100,000 horses around him. It didn't surprise Ouyang Xuan at all, Liu Che couldn't plant it, so he could only come hard. For the 100,000 Han army, which had less than 20,000 cavalry, Ouyang Xuan didn't pay attention to it at all. In front of the main formation of 10,000 cavalry on the west side, set up a general. Ouyang Xuan stepped forward and arched his hand: "I don't know who the general is?" Why do you stop me from getting home? ”。“ The last general is Li Xi, the general of Zhenxi, who was ordered by His Majesty the Emperor of our dynasty to intercept and kill Ouyang Xuan, the rebellious Xia king of the Han family, and return to Han."

"Haha, just 100,000 soldiers and horses, how can I get me, Liu Che'er is too self-conscious, and if he is not afraid of death, he will wait for me to step on Ping'er." After speaking, he returned to the military formation, buckled his mask, drew his sword, held the long sword in his left hand, and held the long sword in his right hand. Holding the long sword high, the blade fell, and the five thousand feathers were covered with a cover, like an arrow from the string rushing to the main position on the west side behind Ouyang Xuan, when it was one mile away from the Han army's military array, Ouyang Xuan raised the long sword and drew a sword flower in the air. The soldiers of Yulin took off their assault rifles, and when they reached the attack distance, the formation was lined up to form a row, and the gunshots rang out almost simultaneously in the high-speed gallop, and the bows and arrows of the Han army were extinguished by the sudden rain of bullets before they could be wound. The shield bearers of the Han army in the front row fell to the ground and died in the bullets, the Han army had not yet re-established the gun and shield array, the Yulin army rushed to the front of the formation, the guns were not broken, the blades gradually rose, under the cover of each other, hung guns and drew knives, and entered the formation. For the Han army that was still at rest, the Yulin army entered the dragon into the sea, doing whatever they wanted, before they arrived in the formation, the Yulin army had formed a formation of immediate attack phalanx, and at the middle army, Ouyang Xuan went straight to Li Xi. It was already a blood-stained robe, and the sword was dripping with blood, and it shone with a seeping blue cold light in the sun.

Li Xi held a long knife to meet the horse, and when the heads of the two horses were staggered, the long knife in Li Xi's hand slashed obliquely from the bottom to the top, a move that killed everyone and horses. Ouyang Xuan leaned forward to the left on the horse, protected the horse with a hand shield, turned right on the horse, and when the two horses staggered, the tip of the treasure knife held on the back was just aimed at Li Xi's chest, and when the power of the hand shield blocked the long knife, the right hand also came with resistance, and the tip of the knife passed through the chest, and with the help of horse speed, Li Xi's left chest was split in half, and he fell off the horse and died. Ouyang Xuan straightened his body, pointed to the left of his sword, and the whole army drew an arc to turn left, and continued to charge and kill in the chaotic army.

From the south side, he turned left again, and the army formation on the south side was wiped out again, breaking through the army formation, and going straight to Chang'an, the Han army behind had no main general, and the cavalry was also lost, and it was impossible to catch up with Ouyang Xuan, who was galloping. When passing by Xianyang, Ouyang Xuan saw the imperial umbrella cover in the city tower. Returning the sword into the sheath, taking off the assault rifle, when reaching the range, Ouyang Xuan pulled the trigger and swept the Han soldiers watching the battle on the city tower down the city, breaking the four-color emperor umbrella cover. With the Yulin Army, he returned to the valley of the garrison, alternately covered the secret passage, and returned to the secret base.

Liu Che was very depressed, he wanted to take the opportunity of Liu Qi's accidental death to blame Ouyang Xuan, and then drive heavy troops to do it, as long as Ouyang Xuan visited Liu Qi privately and entered the palace, there were organs everywhere, and Ouyang Xuan could not fly. Unexpectedly, Ouyang Xuan did not enter the palace without permission, so he had to send Li Xi to lead heavy troops to surround Ouyang Xuan and his party, who wanted to return to the division. As a result, 100,000 heavy troops surrounded it, but lost nearly 50,000 horses, but it was still not surrounded, but was shot by Ouyang Xuan at the head of Xianyang City, and his own soldiers were killed and wounded countless times, and when the umbrella cover was broken, he also stoned to death the concubine Li who was wounded by a gunshot. Liu Che was furious and sent all the feather forests to encircle and suppress the valley, but he didn't even see a single figure. Tens of thousands of men Yulin searched for it in the middle of the night and found nothing, so they had to collect their troops and return to Chang'an. On the way, Du Xiang mentioned Ouyang Xuan's old general Zhao Zhou, Liu Che vented all his anger on Zhao Zhou, and ordered someone to return to Chang'an quickly and behead Zhao Zhou. As soon as I arrived in Chang'an, I got a report that Chang'an City was already in chaos, the Imperial Commander's Office was raided, nearly half of the dead and wounded, Zhao Zhou was rescued, and the arsenal and Jianzhang Palace were set on fire.

It turned out that after Ouyang Xuan returned to the secret base, when it was dark, he took a special group, took a small flying saucer, abeiled into Chang'an City, covered each other and killed the court captain's office, shot the court captain Wang Shuwen, and smashed open the prison door to rescue Zhao Zhou. Took Zhao Zhou along Zhangtai Street to the arsenal, threw three incendiary bombs, ignited the arsenal, turned straight to the straight city gate, the assault rifle fired again and again, the two shot the pursuers, the two helped Zhao Zhou to follow behind Ouyang Xuan, Ouyang Xuan and another person easily took the city gate, after leaving the city, went straight to Jianzhang Palace, dropped incendiary bombs outside the palace, ignited Jianzhang Palace as a signal, used ether to stun Zhao Zhou boarded the small flying saucer, and returned to the Xiagu base with the Northland Mountains and the other two flying saucers. When the group entered Xia Gu City, Zhao Zhou woke up.

Seeing the family members who had arrived in advance, Zhao Zhou bowed his head and bowed to Ouyang Xuan. told him about his experience after parting, and took him to the Meritorious Pavilion to worship Lang Oath and Zhang Jian.

After placing Zhao Zhou properly, he returned to the palace and parted with Liu Hui, and heard Liu Hui scream again and again. "Husband, don't risk your life in the future, if your husband has an accident, how can you survive as a concubine and Hong'er." Liu Hui lay in Ouyang Xuan's arms like a cat, this is her favorite way, and now after forty years, she still hasn't changed this habit. Buick and Guli slept soundly in the outer room, snoring. Liu Hui looked up at Ouyang Xuan and said, "After the husband left for more than a month, Buick and Guli never slept well, and they were always restless. Now that the husband is back, the two guys are sleeping soundly."

"The two of them have been with me for more than 40 years, and they are heart-to-heart, just like you and me. It's just that I didn't see that you were a woman in the first place? ”。“ The concubine body still can't forget the scene of fighting villains on the streets of Chang'an that day. It has been more than 40 years, and the concubine is also a person who runs for flowers, and her husband's face has not changed, so that the concubine will always remember the old days." "You, let you take the Eternal Life Water, you don't use it, why? Don't want to stay with me? ”。

"The concubine is just a people's daughter, unlike her husband's high-ranking concubine, who is incapable of worrying about her husband, but she is just a burden to her husband, which makes her husband worry about her from time to time, and delays her husband's great cause. The concubine also knows that the love of her husband is deep enough. After living this life happily, the concubine body is enough, leave early, avoid the pain of parting, and in the next life, it is not better for the husband and wife to be husband and wife as soon as possible."

"You, you are too deeply influenced by Gonglianggong, and I also know some of the secrets of this life, old age, sickness and death", after speaking, Liu Hui's face in his arms was scratched.

After the concubine went, she left her husband alone, which was pitiful. I don't have anyone to accompany me, and I don't know how long my husband lives." Liu Hui leaned tightly into her arms and kept saying.

"I still have your photo here to accompany me." After speaking, he took out the tablet from the bedside, opened the photo album, and flipped through the pages of many photos taken from this era.

While looking at it, Liu Hui kept asking about the story behind the photo. When he saw a photo of himself in Zhongnan Villa, he suddenly asked, "What kind of agreement do you say I have with my husband in the next life, so that my husband can recognize me at a glance." Oh, by the way, I like to use my left hand all the time, and when I see my husband, I will raise my left hand according to my habit. Hey, hey".

"You, don't think about it. If I meet you in the real afterlife, I will have a way to recognize you. Don't forget that I also have a group of skilled alien people."

Liu Hui snuggled in Ouyang Xuan's arms with a happy face, "Hui is enough in this life, she has a husband, she is proud of the world, and she is a concubine." Now that he is old and decrepit, his husband still does not give up, and Hui will not live in vain in this life. In the next life, I will repay my husband's kindness." Liu Hui repeatedly raised her left hand, and Yu Jun recognized the words, and gradually fell asleep. Ouyang Xuan put him on the bed and covered him with a quilt. put on an open coat, and went out to move his arm that was numb by Liu Hui. After inspecting the palace defenses, he returned to his room and fell asleep next to Liu Hui.

Early in the morning of the second day, Ouyang Xuan was woken up by the herald and returned to the main hall, where Li Mao, the secretary of the military department, had been waiting for a long time. Seeing Ouyang Xuan's arrival, he hurriedly stepped forward and bowed down and saluted: "Your Majesty, the minister has just been reported, and the Han Emperor Liu Chebai is the old general Wei Qing as the commander, leading 500,000 troops, and the soldiers are divided into four routes, respectively to my Shanggu, Yanmen, Shangjun, and Sanshui Pass. Among them, the leader who led the attack on Sanshui Pass was the commander Wei Qing, leading 200,000 troops, and 20,000 Yulin in the period."

"Spread my will, Li Shangshu sat in the capital and was responsible for logistics matters, Huyan Leopard led the soldiers of the Central Military Region to rush to Shanggu and Yanmen in two ways, I personally led the headquarters Yulin Army to aid Sanshui Pass, and General Peng led the soldiers of the headquarters to help Shangjun. Dai Zhan led the soldiers of the Southern Military Region to attack Changsha, occupied Nanjun and Jiangxia County, and went north to Linhuai County to join the Haibu soldiers and sweep the Jianghuai, and He Chan led the soldiers of the Qiang Military Region to attack Han Tianshui, Wudu, and Jiangge Pass from the west, and occupied Shu and Hanzhong and attacked Nanyang. In addition, the Aries lonely leader headquarters is close to the border between China and Han." "No!" Li Mao was ordered to go down and give the order. If it weren't for the fact that the railway and road networks had not yet been perfected, Ouyang Xuan would even want to transfer the Burmese soldiers to the battlefield.

Since the afternoon, war reports from all over the country have been flying like snowflakes, using the telegraph system that has just been used in the military, this is Ouyang Xuan's principle, Zhang Lang is responsible for the design and research and development, and now with the technology of the Duliba people, the communication is much simpler. What puzzled Du Liba the most was that he saw the tablet and hail energy in Ouyang Xuan's hand, and thought of a better way to communicate, so he had to use this primitive method. asked Ouyang Xuan many times, and the answer was one sentence: "The foundation is not yet solid, and the line is high, and it is easy to break."

After so many years of construction, Ouyang Xuan set up 150 mm howitzer positions for defense at the border passes of Han and China. A Great Wall was built along the mountain range from Sanshui Pass, Shangjun South, Yanmen Pass, Daijun, Shanggu and Yuyang to the Bohai Sea. There is a natural risk of the Yangtze River in the south, so the Great Wall was not built. The 100,000 Han troops at Juyong Pass in Shanggu made no progress under artillery fire and powerful bows and crossbows, and could only withdraw to Guangyang in disgrace. Yanmen Pass was even more miserable, and the guard was Zhou He, the captain of the Maoying camp who followed Ouyang Xuan on his expedition against the Huns, who was originally a poor child, and when Ouyang Xuan opened the school, he was able to study for free. Excellent grades, especially good at fighting and killing, after joining the army, step by step promoted to the military, and later studied military affairs in the Huaxia University system, entered the pro-soldier selection and training for more than a year, was eliminated, and Lang oath at that time made a leading captain, with Lang oath to kill in the east and west, repeatedly made war exploits. After Lang was killed, he was assigned to Dai Zhan. After the expedition against the Xiongnu, he was promoted to general according to his military merits and stationed at Yanmen Pass. Led the defenders of 10,000 people, taking advantage of the favorable terrain of the dangerous pass to carry out a devastating blow to the attacking Han army, this is not over, Zhou He sent a thousand logistics troops to block the upstream river before the war, and when the Han army retreated under the blow of artillery fire and strong crossbows, the water suddenly came, and in the cold river water, less than 1,000 people were killed by 100,000 soldiers.

Shangjun Zhai Guan guard, like Zhou He, is also an expeditionary military captain, named Zhao Meng, is a cattle man who was selected from the pro-soldiers, good at clever organs, originally a captain of the Zhouqiao battalion under Meng Dan, and later because of his excellent military command ability was transferred by Li Mao from Minyue to the military department, when Ouyang Xuan went out to fight against the Huns, he was strongly requested to serve as the captain of the C battalion of the Chinese army, and he was also a man with military exploits. After the war, Li Mao nominated him to be the left squire of the military department, but he insisted on going to the border pass, Ouyang Xuan named him a general, defended in Shangjun Zhai Pass, and enjoyed the official treatment of the third grade, and was the highest rank among the border guards. There were only 8,000 people guarding Zhai Pass, Zhao Meng did not blindly defend, but divided his troops into multiple routes, cleaned up and intercepted several tributaries of the Wuding River in the mountains, intercepted the Wuding River in the upper reaches, and introduced it into the valley. After several days of hard work, several huge reservoirs were formed in the valley. When the Han army attacked the city, when the artillery fire ravaged the Han army, Zhao Meng ordered the dam to be destroyed, and the water rushed through Zhai Pass and filled the river valley like a wild horse. In addition, Zhao Meng mixed a lot of mines in the water, which made the Han army miserable. In the end, less than 10,000 people escaped, and as soon as the water receded, some of the soldiers who were separated made portable 60 cannons, and once again used their might to completely cripple the remaining 10,000 people who were gathering in the mud. Zhao Meng led 3,000 men and horses to fight again from the valley on one side, and in the end, less than dozens of people escaped and ascended to heaven.

The three attacks all failed miserably, and two of them were completely annihilated, so Wei Qing had to be cautious, especially to observe the water potential. Fifty miles away from the Sanshui Pass, they set up camp in the valley area. But it was Ouyang Xuan's pro-soldiers in the army who were forced to guard Sanshui Pass, which doomed Wei Qing to failure.
