Chapter 49: Silence
In the Black Stone Ridge, it was almost noon, and Xiao Siwen and Hu Yanzan were discussing the next use of troops in the barracks.
Fortunately, at present, Yelu Xiuge's military rations are about to run out, and from Yelu Xiuge's letters, Huyanzan can draw a conclusion that the news of Heishiling has not spread, and Yelu Xiuge and they are still in the dark, so that Huyanzan and they can place a lot of Song troops and surrendered Liao troops in the queue for transporting grain. Xiao Siwen immediately said that he would personally escort grain and grass to Flying Fox.
After noon, the Song people and Liao people in Heishiling were carrying grain and grass to the grain truck, and the grain truck in front had been loaded with a lot of military food and weapons, and the car at the back was loaded with a lot of linen bags, which were so pressed that the wheels of the car were deeply sunken in the mud, but Xiao Siwen and they knew that it was actually all dirt and stones, which was also raised by Xiao Siwen himself, what he was afraid of was that the grain and grass would be taken away by Brother Yeluxiu.
After a while, the grain carts have begun to set off one after another, on a road with the same caliber of gourd between the mountains, Xiao Siwen rode on a tall horse, his eyes looked back, only to see that there were grain carts behind, and only a small part of the Song army between the grain carts was mixed in, Xiao Siwen thought that Huyanzan would definitely send a lot of troops to mix in, but only sent a few people, Xiao Siwen felt very moved in his heart, Huyanzan They trusted themselves so much, and they would definitely not live up to Huyanzan's intentions.
Because they took the official road, Xiao Siwen and the others only took five or six hours to reach the Liao military camp tent in Flying Fox.
In front of the Liao army camp, the Liao soldiers stood in front of the camp sparsely, looking sluggish and listless, and when they saw Xiao Siwen personally escorting the grain and grass, they suddenly recovered their spirits, because Xiao Siwen was the commander of the first army of the Liao army, and in the minds of the soldiers, they suddenly became noble, and they stood straight, and then this group of soldiers said: "Xiao Di has seen Xiao stay behind." ”
Some soldiers immediately trotted back to the camp tent and told the news of Xiao Siwen's arrival to Yelu Xiu Zheng and Ye Lu Xiu Ge, and the two immediately walked out of the military tent, and immediately bowed their hands before the camp: "The last general Ye Lu Xiu Ge (Yelu Xiu Zhen) has seen the guard. Staying behind this time to personally escort the grain and grass here, which made the last general a little flattered. ”
Xiao Siwen looked at the two of them and said, "Don't do this big gift, I heard that there is a shortage of food and grass in the Flying Fox Sect." The old man felt that the Black Stone Ridge was easy to defend and difficult to attack, and it was the right thing to defend the Flying Fox at the moment, and the old man heard that the Liao and Song Dynasty were about to go to war, so he personally came here to supervise the battle. ”
Xiao Siwen only noticed at this time that one of Yelu Hugh's eyes was covered with a white cloth, and he said suspiciously: "Brother Hugh, are you like this?" Can you find the moment that hurt your eyes? ”
Yelu Hugo noticed the wound on the top of the eye, and he said: "The last general shot one in the eye, but I have been searching in the army for the past few days, but the search is still fruitless, if the last general finds him one day, I will immediately behead this person." When Jeruxiu said this, one eye showed a fierce gaze, which looked very creepy.
Xiao Siwen immediately said: "Brother Hugh, don't worry, that person will definitely find it." Then, Xiao Siwen and the others said as they walked, and sent the soldiers to send bags of grain and grass to the camp tent to be registered.
Little by little, the night fell, and there were only a few sparse stars in the sky, and in the night, the men divided part of the grain and grass that was transported to the front, and the men were cooking and talking freely in the stove.
The dim candle lights are lit, and the kitchen stove is lit up in the dim light.
The husband Wang Er squatted next to the stove, pouted his buttocks, and stuffed the firewood into the pit of the stove, the firewood caught up all of a sudden, the flames were burning, and the black smoke that came out smoked his face, and he coughed fiercely.
Li on the side laughed and said, "Wang Er, you are anxious, this burning fire is not easy to control, let me come." ”
Wang Er stood up from the ground, because he had been squatting for a long time, his legs and feet were a little numb, he almost fell backwards when he touched it, he hurriedly touched his thighs and said: "Li Datou, you can come, I can't bear it, today I moved the grain and grass for an hour, the grain and grass are really heavy, it looks as heavy as a stone." ”
"Wang Er, of course, this grain and grass is heavier than stones, and it can support us for a long time at a glance." Li Da calmly stuffed Chai He, much more comfortable than Wang Er.
Wang Er looked at Li Da at this time, and he said: "This time, Xiao Liushou personally escorted the grain and grass to solve the food crisis, and we can rely on the mountains and rivers here to stay for a while, I don't know where you plan to go after Li Datou's battle?" ”
"I am from a mountain village near Yizhou, and after this time, I will naturally go back to Yizhou, and my father and elder family have to introduce my daughter-in-law to me."
"Yo, Li Datou, are you still a chick?" Wang Er sneered, and then regained his expression, he looked at the stove, he took a quick look, it didn't seem to be the honest villager just now.
Li Datou touched his head embarrassedly, and then without saying a word, he continued to tinker with firewood.
"Li Datou, I'll teach you about this fire. I started to cook, I know how to cook the most is to cook, the red and white ceremonies in our village, are all handled by me, the villagers in this township, are boasting that my cooking skills are comparable to the chef of Kaifeng, the next time you marry a daughter-in-law, I will personally burn a few tables for you. ”
"That's good, but Wang Er, how high do you say the cooking skills of the Kaifeng chef?" Li Datou lowered his head and kept looking at the stove.
"This ......" Wang Er paused, then looked at the boiling water in the stove, he walked to the stove, and said, "Li Datou, where is the oil?" I remember you didn't put it? ”
"Oh? Oil. Li Da got up from the stove, and then looked around the stove, because the lamp and candle were dim, but Li Da didn't find where the oil was, "I have this memory, I'll look for it." ”
Li Da had already gone to look for oil, but at this time, Wang Er took out a small bag wrapped in oil paper from his cuff, then opened the place where the powder was wrapped, and poured the white powder inside into a boiling pot of water.
When Li Da came to the kitchen, Wang Er's figure was already here, Li Da saw that it was getting late, and the soldiers in the army were preparing to eat, so he immediately began to cook, he put the thighs of pickled pork into boiling water and boiled them.
Supper had been passed down to the camps, and the soldiers in the camps had begun to use it perfectly, and the cured pork, which was an exceedingly delicious thing for them, had eaten it with great deave, and they had eaten the rest of the meals. Xiao Siwen didn't eat these meals, he pretended to have a stomachache and went outside the camp first.
According to the prior agreement, Xiao Siwen walked to a corner, but at this moment, a person walked out of the tent, he was wearing the clothes of a man, he looked very ordinary, this person was Wang Er in the kitchen just now, he was actually a secret agent of Changchun Hall, called Wang Ang, and he had been mixed into the army in the Flying Fox as a man in the house during this time.
At this moment, he spoke: "In the Flying Fox Mountain, in the camps of the east, west, north and south, almost everyone has eaten the food fed with sweat medicine, and after waiting for a while, we will release a signal to let the Song army enter here." ”
Xiao Siwen asked, "General Li Chuyun, where are they now?" ”
Wang Ang pointed to the dark night, and said to the location in the east of the Flying Fox Mountain: "During the day, it was still six miles east of the Flying Fox Mountain, and I estimated the hour, and now it may be at the pass." ”
Xiao Siwen looked at Wang Ang's position, where the place was full of cliffs and flying stones, if it was like usual, it would be difficult for the Song army to capture this pass, but now it can easily capture here, Xiao Siwen was stunned for a while, and suddenly said: "The old man went in first, otherwise they should be suspicious." ”
"Xiao stayed and walked slowly." When Xiao Siwen walked to the tent, Wang Ang quickly disappeared into the night and disappeared.
Xiao Siwen had already walked back to the camp tent, and in the military tent, Brother Yelu Xiu and they were still drinking, eating wine and meat, when Brother Yelu Xiu saw Xiao Siwen, he asked: "I have stayed behind for so long, are you not feeling well?" ”
Xiao Siwen waved his hand and said: "A few days ago, I was almost infected with a cold, and at that time, the military doctor also said that I had a plague, and now I am almost better, but I can't eat and drink wine and meat, so I just have a full eye." ”
When Xiao Siwen was about to walk back to the upper position, Yelu Xiuge's other eye suddenly closed and opened, and Xiao Siwen in front of him suddenly became a little flickering.
"This..."Jeruxiu tried to open his eyes, but he felt a wave of sleepiness hit his whole body, and his whole body was even more exhausted.
Xiao Siwen looked at the Yelu Hugh brothers in front of him, but pretended to be surprised: "What's wrong with you?" In the blink of an eye, almost all the people in the military tent were under a spell in an instant, and they all lay on the table, and the wine cups and other objects on the table were pushed to the ground at once.
Xiao Siwen saw that everyone was asleep, and he immediately slowly walked out of the tent and walked outside.
Fireworks burst into the sky, red and yellow, and the sound spread throughout the valley, making the valley faintly vibrate.
They all heard the sound of thunder, and the sky suddenly became gorgeous, lighting up all the trees, and then it went dark, and the fireworks were very beautiful and moving, as if they were celebrating some kind of banquet, in fact, this was the signal of the flying fox.
"Xiao Siwen, they succeeded!" Wei Kang and Jing Si shouted happily, watching the fireworks fall from the sky one by one, and they trotted quickly towards the place where the fireworks landed.
"The whole army is speeding up, and we must rush to the Flying Fox within half an hour." Er Li gave an order, and the Song army's stealth troops behind accelerated their pace and trotted towards the Flying Fox.
The fireworks have disappeared into the night sky, and everything has settled.
At the beginning of the second half of the night, Li Chuyun and Li Jixun rushed to the Flying Fox Mountain, looking at this precipitous and dangerous pass wrapped in the bottom of the valley, the Song army immediately rushed to the camp in batches and captured the Liao army alive.
In this way, the Liao army was all taken prisoner in their sleep, and as for Yelu Xiuge, they were guarded by heavy soldiers.
Xiao Siwen walked out of the military tent, and when Li Chuyun and the others saw Xiao Siwen, they immediately bowed their hands and said: "Today, everything is left behind by Lao Xiao, and in the future, Your Majesty will have someone to ask for credit for staying behind." ”
Xiao Siwen arched his hand and replied, "I only hope that you can treat them well. ”
Li Jixun and the others glanced at Xiao Siwen with a little meaning.
