From Pusaka to Fenglingdu, it faces Tongguan across the Yellow River. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Yubi seems to be worry-free, and the situation in Tongguan is critical. Scout **** news keeps coming, and it makes no sense to stay in Pusaka again. After discussing with the two great generals of the Zhu State, Sima Duguxin and Sikong Li Bi, Prince Yuanqin quietly led the army from Pusaka to Fenglingdu to watch the Tongguan incident nearby.

In the early morning of winter, the fog is thick, and there is almost no grass on the tidal flats. The river is not frozen, and its color is as strong as the earth. The waves are rolling, like gathering and angry.

Prince Yuanqin almost stayed awake all night, and at this time, he was not afraid of the cold and looked out of the thick fog by the river. Of course, you can't see anything, even if Tongguan is just right in front of you.

Da Sima Duguxin and Sikong Li Bi came in parallel. Seeing their retinue from afar, the prince whispered back. Yuan Qin immediately turned around, and suddenly some wind blew the hem of the false clock he was wearing.

Dugu Xin and Li Bi are still two crotch armor, but they are very energetic, not like Yuan Qin who is so worried.

"Your Highness." The two of them walked together.

Yuan Qin saw that they were going to worship, so he immediately stepped forward and raised his arm to help him, and smiled reluctantly, "Da Sima and Sikong don't need to be polite." ”

The prince was so polite, but Duguxin and Li Bi were not the kind of people who were not informal, so they still gave regular courtesy, and were helped up by Yuan Qin.

"What concerns does His Royal Highness the Crown Prince have to look at the river early in the morning?" Li Bi asked first.

At this time, the wind was a little stronger, and the fog was a little clearer.

Yuan Qin's mood was complicated, and he only replied, "I don't know how the prime minister is now." He didn't say any more, and he didn't know what to say, because he was thinking too much in his heart.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince doesn't need to be overly worried, the prime minister has been through a hundred battles and has his own contingency plan." Duguxin comforted him. Among the three people, it seems that Dugu Xin is the most calm.

"Your Highness, Fengling crossing the river is a small pass, and the river can be crossed at any time on the pontoon bridge, if things change, and the response is correct, what worries does Your Highness have in your heart?" Li Bi also followed Dugu's letter to Yuan Qin's relief.

Yuan Qin looked at the other side of the river again, because of the strong wind, the opposite side was already faintly visible. He said with remorse, "The loss of Tongguan is all because of me." The prime minister returned from the defeat of Henan, and he had to clean up the mess, and I ...... "He was both unbearable and uneasy."

Yuan Qin didn't have much affection for Yuwentai in his heart, and was even more dissatisfied, and sometimes even angry and resentful. But I don't know why, the danger of the society is ahead, but he is calm when he faces Yuwentai. Then he sighed and said, "I hope I can help the prime minister recapture Tongguan." ”

Strictly speaking, among the several great generals of the Pillar Kingdom, Dugu Xin and Li Bi are not Yuwentai's henchmen. But for the imperial family, whether it is Dugu Xin or Li Bi, they all have due loyalty, which is different from Zhao Gui and Yu Jin.

I usually feel that the prince is young and vigorous, and his temperament is impetuous. Of course, the prince's disobedience to the prime minister can also be seen. Hearing the prince say such things with his own ears today, Dugu Xin and Li Bi couldn't help but favor the prince in their hearts. I even think that Prime Minister Pingsuri is too strict with the prince?

Four or five hundred miles away, the Eastern Wei army marched day and night, and it took less than a day and a night to pass Hengnong and Pandou, and Xiaoguan was in sight.

The general Gao Cheng and the Puyang County Duke and Situ Hou Jing came together at the same time. Gao Cheng had already ordered someone to go to Tongguan to deliver the letter before, presumably at this time Murong Shaozong already knew the news of the arrival of the general.

The smoke and dust are billowing on the ancient road, and I have not seen a single soldier of the Western Wei army until now. Gao Cheng was a little skeptical in his heart, could Yuwentai really be able to go to heaven and earth?

Seeing that the terrain in front of him is becoming more and more complicated, and further ahead are the mountain peaks connected, and the valleys and cliffs are deep and absolute, and the Western Wei army cannot be deceitful, Chen Yuankang became vigilant in his heart.

Although Tongguan is in front of you, as soon as you enter Tongguan, there is no shelter in the hinterland of Guanzhong, but the more you are at this time, the more you must be prepared for the rapid changes in the military of the Western Wei Dynasty.

Chen Yuankang saw that the foot soldiers who had been traveling for more than ten hours had not repaired well for so long, and all of them looked tired. I think it's best to have a good meal and rest here before going into danger.

Gao Cheng listened to Chen Yuankang's suggestion, and felt that he was reasonable, but he was too anxious, and he was unwilling to let Yuwentai, who had been captured by him, escape like this, so he chased after him ruthlessly. At this time, I feel more careful when I calm down.

It's noon again. It was also overcast in the morning, with clouds covering the sun thickly. Then the wind gradually rose, and the wind grew stronger, but it blew away the dark clouds and revealed the sun. At this moment, the warm winter sun is falling, and the soldiers and soldiers of the Eastern Wei Dynasty who can finally rest here are relaxed and feel very comfortable.

This suburb has an ancient road behind it, a stream on one side, a few hills on the other, and mountains and deep valleys in front of it. The open space here is a great place to take a break.

The soldiers rested, and the firewood and rice were busy, and after a while, the smoke slowly and unstoppably rose into the sky.

Gao Cheng had been jolting on the horse for a long time, and he was anxious to rush just now and was unconscious, and then he felt that his body was a little stiff when he got off the horse, and he felt a little stretched after being so relaxed. He did not want to sit down and rest like the footmen, so he walked leisurely and walked to the stream.

Chen Yuankang saw that there was nothing to do when he settled down, so he also walked here.

I don't know where Situ Houjing went to rest.

"General," Chen Yuankang walked to the stream, and saw Gao Cheng playing with pebbles on the pebble-covered ground by the stream, and he really didn't know what kind of mentality he had in his heart. Seeing Gao Cheng turn around, he asked, "Isn't the general going to rest for a moment?" ”

"Brother Changyou," Gao Cheng approached him and smiled, "If you think about it, where is the Yuwen Black Otter now?" ”

Chen Yuankang felt that Gao Cheng's mind was a little crazy. He already felt that it was inappropriate for the general to be so eager to capture Yuwen Black Otter alive as the only goal and the most important thing. Hearing Gao Cheng's question, he replied, "The Yuwen Black Otter can only temporarily take shelter in Yixiaoguan, and there is nowhere else to stay. ”

Gao Cheng shook his head, "How can you sit and wait for death at Xiaoguan?" ”

Somehow, Chen Yuankang felt that Gao Cheng's words seemed like a sudden wake-up. Indeed, Yuwentai's plan is far-reaching, how could he know that the Eastern Wei army will chase after him and guard at the small pass without moving?

Chen Yuankang inadvertently turned around and saw that Hou Jing didn't know when to come this way.

Gao Cheng saw that his expression had changed, and he also saw Hou Jing with his gaze.

However, Gao Cheng was soon attracted by the curling smoke behind Hou Jing. White cooking smoke rises into the sky, especially in the exceptionally clear blue sky. The smoke of the cooking stove was endless, and it was blown farther away by the wind. Gao Cheng's face changed suddenly.

"General! General! Before Hou Jing could get closer, Liu Taozhi suddenly hurried over.

Hou Jing stopped and turned his head to look at Liu Taozhi.

Gao Cheng also walked over to this side.

Liu Taozhi ran in front of Gao Cheng, and there was no expression on his face, "General, the western thief is here, it's that Zhao Yuangui." He lowered his voice.

"Where?!" Gao Cheng almost jumped out as soon as he heard the words "Zhao Yuangui".

Hou Jing walked over slowly at this time.

Before Liu Taozhi could reply, he suddenly saw "whoosh", "whoosh", and "whoosh" countless cold arrows flying in, which immediately disturbed the Eastern Wei soldiers who were originally resting in place.

"West thief!"

I don't know who shouted, and after a moment of effort, all the tired Eastern Wei soldiers jumped up from the ground and looked around.

"Hou Situ!" Gao Cheng let out a loud shout and stopped Hou Jing's steps that he had wanted to retreat quietly.

"What does the general command?" Hou Jing strode up and asked loudly, and immediately turned into an impassioned look.

"Xikou didn't dodge but took the initiative to provoke, what does Situ mean by this Zhao Yuangui?" Gao Cheng stared at Hou Jing and asked.

"The trapped beast is still fighting, and Yuwen is the same?" Hou Jing replied smoothly.

"Situ went from capturing the Tiger Prison to capturing Gao Zhongmi, and then taking Luoyang, winning one victory after another all the way, and his achievements were impressive. Since it is a battle of trapped beasts, Zihui will bother Situ to fight again, and capture this trapped beast, wouldn't it be complete? Gao Cheng also gave an order to Hou Jing by the way.

Hou Jing was quick to speak, and he didn't know how to answer him at this time, so he took the order.

The Eastern Wei army, which had not yet rested, was forced to put on its armor again and fight again, and it was not known who was the real trapped beast.

Gao Cheng, Chen Yuankang, Hou Jing and others are all back on the horse.

Hou Jing led the order, and Gao Cheng and Chen Yuankang followed to observe the changes in the situation.

However, before Hou Jing could find the target, a group of Western Wei troops rushed to the front as if they were descending from the sky, and they were like the wind coming.

"Gao Zihui, Zhao Yuangui killed you today." Sure enough, it was the voice of the hussar general Zhao Gui.

Zhao Gui's voice was extremely loud, almost suppressing the noise when the two parties met.

Although Gao Cheng knew that Zhao Gui was deliberately provoking him, he couldn't help but be angry in his heart, and immediately stepped forward.

Chen Yuankang followed closely and shouted, "Don't be angry, general. He felt that Zhao Gui would not provoke for no reason.

However, what Zhao Gui said about "killing you today" is really not a lie.

Zhao Gui held a bow and arrows, and when his mount ran towards Gao Cheng, he was aiming at Gao Cheng. At the same time, Hou Jing's mount suddenly drew an arc and circled half a circle, just to the side to avoid Zhao Gui. Otherwise, Hou Jing would be the human shield between Zhao Gui and Gao Cheng.

Chen Yuankang was the opposite of Hou Jing and accelerated to follow.

The arrow in Gao Cheng outside Heyin City that day was shot by Zhao Gui. Seeing Zhao Gui facing him with arrows again today, Gao Cheng's most hated thing was that he didn't immediately put Zhao Gui to death when he captured him.

"Zhao Yuangui, you will die today!" At the same time as Gao Cheng shouted angrily, Zhao Gui had already shot an arrow. Clusters of arrows came at you with a whistling sound.

Gao Cheng had already raised his sword in his hand, although his anger was high, he was still calm, and he turned his head to dodge the arrow. However, before the arrow could reach him, Liu Taozhi, who was still in front of him, had already swung his sword from his horse to block it, and when his eyes were quick, he threw the sharp arrow to the ground.

"Zhao Yuangui is leaving! Hou Wanjing came to capture you! Hou Jing, who had already gone around to the side, suddenly shouted.

Surprisingly, after Zhao Gui shot that arrow, he didn't wait for the result, he had already lifted the reins, turned his horse, and led the small Western Wei army to the west. So by the time Hou Jing drank him and left, Zhao Gui had already turned around and ran away.

Gao Cheng and his horse are currently at the forefront, and Liu Taozhi is still ahead of him. Chen Yuankang followed, and Hou Jing was left behind.

didn't run far, Zhao Gui and the Western Wei army were gone. There were only more than 100 people in this Western Wei army, all of them riding Dawan horses, and it seemed that they were coming for a surprise attack. The overtired foot soldiers of the Eastern Wei army naturally couldn't catch up.

Gao Cheng's mount also galloped for more than ten hours in a row, and as soon as he relaxed and did not rest, he was urged by his master to chase the enemy. His physical strength was exhausted, and he didn't run fast enough to catch up with Zhao Gui's energetic mount. Gao Cheng had to stop to take a closer look and think about which direction to pursue.

There is a deep valley ahead. The mountains and rocks are strange, the trunks and branches of the dead trees are messy, and the two mountains are like a line. This can't help but attract Gao Cheng's attention.

"General, the western thief must have a deception!" Chen Yuankang's mount hovered beside Gao Cheng.

Liu Taozhi glanced at Chen Yuankang very attentively.

At this time, Hou Jing also reined in his horse out of breath.

Gao Cheng didn't speak, staring at Taniguchi opposite. He looked as if he had heard something. This expression attracted several other people, as they were all waiting for the general to make a decision and were paying close attention to him.

Sure enough, a shadow poked out of the valley and slowly moved to this side, this shadow became bigger and bigger, as if the dark clouds were pressing down on the top of the East Wei army, which was tired and had nowhere to rest.

This is a soldier of the Western Wei Dynasty who is not in sight, all dressed in black, holding a long ge, constantly pouring out of the valley. See where the tail of the line is hidden in the valley. The movements of the Western Wei soldiers were not fast, slow and orderly, with a kind of cold disregard, filled with the smell of death, which made people feel gloomy and gloomy.

This innumerable Western Wei army did not leave the valley and stopped. They silently retreated from the middle to the sides, branching out a path in between. A general wearing only two crotch armor stepped out of the middle passage and rode his horse to the front of the soldiers.

This general is actually Yuwentai.

Gao Cheng felt that it was unexpected, but it was indeed within his thoughts. In the past, Murong Shaozong blocked the way back according to Tongguan, and according to Yuwentai's character, he returned to his master to fight with Gao Cheng, which was something he could completely do. Gao Cheng didn't think there was anything strange about this.

It's just that Hou Jing, who has retreated to the back, and Chen Yuankang, who has been by Gao Cheng's side, all feel that Yuwentai looks a little weird at this time.

Gao Cheng felt that something was wrong, and he rode forward.

"The general is not harmed?" Yuwentai didn't dodge, and like Gao Cheng, he stepped forward decisively.

It's just that I don't know if anyone has noticed that one of Yuwentai's hands has been on the hilt of the sword at his waist.

Gao Cheng rode his horse and got closer and closer to Yuwentai. "The prime minister didn't say goodbye, why didn't he go back to Chang'an? Waiting for me here? His gaze playfully lingered on Yu Wentai.

Yu Wentai looked down at the armor and hakama on his body, and looked up at Gao Cheng, with a faint smile on his lips. Just like the smile on his face when they first met on the Yangtze River in Jiankang.

"The black otter can't bear to say goodbye, and I don't know when we will see each other, so I come to say goodbye. The general gave me clothes, and the black otter will treasure them with my heart, so as to comfort my heart of missing the general in the future. His words were full of affection, and he already grasped the hilt of his sword in his hand, and suddenly drew his sharp blade. (To be continued.) )
