In the blink of an eye, another five days have passed, starting from Luokoucang, Zhang Xutuo's counterinsurgency army marched all the way east, and the goal was directly aimed at Wagang! However, it is not close to rush from Luokoucang to Wagang, and before the messenger to Xingyang came back, Zhang Xutuo also ordered a slow march until the messenger returned, and after Yang Qing's guarantee, Zhang Xutuo ordered the whole army to speed up.

Niuzhukou, also known as Niuzhu Rock, Quarry Rock, is one of the three major rocks on the Yangtze River, also because of the dangerous terrain, has become an extremely important military strategic place! As early as the time of the first emperor, the imperial court set up a military camp to guard the Niuzhukou, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and it is just near the river, choking the Yangtze River, which can be said to be a place where soldiers must fight!

When the counterinsurgency army arrived at Niuzhukou, it was already evening, and needless to say, the army must have rested here tonight. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info Zhang Xutuo glanced at the Niuzhukou military camp camped by the river from a distance, at this time, there was a little fire flickering in the camp, and it seemed that the soldiers stationed in the camp had already begun to rest. Zhang Xutuo nodded, when he went south to Henan this time, he also stayed in Niuzhukou, and he was also familiar with the guards of Niuzhukou, when he even said to Qin Qiong beside him: "Uncle Bao! You go ahead and say hello to the camp! ”

Zhang Xutuo did this, it can be regarded as a sophisticated person, although Zhang Xutuo is a famous victorious general of the Great Sui, but after all, this is people's land, and it is not easy for him, a dragon who crosses the river, to force other people's head snakes! Qin Qiong is not Luo Shixin's stunned youth, as soon as he heard Zhang Xutuo's words, he also nodded again and again, and immediately ordered twenty or thirty people, and rushed to the military camp in front of him.

Soon, Qin Qiong and the others came to the gate of the barracks, only to hear a shout from the front: "Who is it?" Barracks powerhouse! No trespassing! Don't stop and dismount quickly! ”

"The counterinsurgency army, partial general, Qin Qiong! The counterinsurgency army conquered Wagang, passing by here, and came to borrow a resting place! As soon as Qin Qiong pulled the reins, he stopped his mount and shouted loudly at the two guard sergeants at the gate of the barracks.

"Ahh Hearing Qin Qiong's self-report, there was an exclamation at the door of the barracks, as if he was frightened by the name of the counterinsurgency army, but soon, there was another shout: "General, wait!" The villain is going to inform my general! ”

Qin Qiong didn't speak, just nodded lightly, and came to Niuzhukou, their counterinsurgency army is a guest, and you must know the rules of being a guest as a guest, which is why Zhang Xutuo sent Qin Qiong to do this, instead of sending Luo Shixin. It didn't take long for a small group of people to appear at the gate of the barracks, walking towards Qin Qiong, leading the way and laughing, clasping his fists at Qin Qiong and smiling: "General Qin!" Don't come unharmed? ”

"Become a general!" Qin Qiong also turned on his horse and greeted the general, this general surnamed Cheng is the general who commands the Niuzhukou garrison, and the last time the counterinsurgency army passed by Niuzhukou, it was also received by this Cheng general, and the two can be regarded as having a relationship. Qin Qiong walked up to General Cheng, saluted him, and said, "The last general came here on the order of the marshal, and I will disturb General Cheng again tonight!" ”

General Cheng is about forty years old, he looks strong, and his appearance is somewhat ordinary, but his personality is very bold. Hearing Qin Qiong's words, General Cheng immediately laughed out loud and said, "General Qin is too polite!" Everyone is serving the saints, so why bother? Zhang Dashuai exterminated the thieves for the country, and the soldiers of the counterinsurgency army were also running around, so hard, Cheng was just doing a little bit of effort, what was the way? Hehe! Hurry up and invite Zhang Dashuai into the camp! ”

General Cheng's answer was naturally expected by Qin Qiong, Qin Qiong nodded, and made a gesture to a soldier behind him, who also immediately rushed back to inform Zhang Xutuo. Soon, Zhang Xutuo led the counterinsurgency army to the barracks, of course, the garrison barracks did not have too many spare tents, and the 50,000 counterinsurgency troops naturally could not be stationed in the barracks, so they could only camp on the spot outside the barracks, only Zhang Xutuo took Jia Wuben and some personal soldiers to the gate of the barracks.

After General Nacheng saw Zhang Xutuo, he hurriedly walked in front of Zhang Xutuo, bowed deeply to Zhang Xutuo, and shouted: "The last general will see Zhang Dashuai!" ”

Zhang Xutuo is not a bully, he immediately dismounted, stepped forward to help General Cheng up, and then greeted General Cheng with a smile, and walked into the barracks under the leadership of General Cheng. Qin Qiong and Jia Wuben also followed, Qin Qiong glanced at the back, and said to Jia Wuben with a smile: "Lord Jia, where are General Pei and Shixin?" ”

"Huh!" Jia Wuben smiled and said, "The marshal ordered General Pei to stay in the army to deal with military affairs, as for Shixin!" This kid doesn't know what nerves he had, and he suddenly wanted to swim in the Yangtze River, but now I'm afraid that he has already drilled into the Yangtze River! ”

Hearing Jia Wuben's words, Qin Qiong couldn't help laughing, this is really Luo Shixin's temperament! Turning his head and looking in the direction of the Yangtze River, he saw that the Yangtze River seemed so calm and serene under the cover of night, and the stones of different sizes on the bank outlined the twisted river bank. Jia Wuben looked at Qin Qiong's expression and asked with some curiosity, "Uncle Bao!" What's on your mind? ”

Qin Qiong was also stunned when Jia Wuben saw through what he was thinking, but soon smiled bitterly: "This, I don't know if it's too much heart!" It's just that I always feel a little uneasy about this expedition, and I don't know what went wrong! Also, there is no news from Zhang Qingyu of Tianyinmen so far, and I don't know what happened! ”

"Hmm!" Jia Wuben didn't expect Qin Qiong to suddenly mention this matter, and his mind immediately recalled the words that Zhang Xutuo said to him when he was in Luokoucang before. Zhang Xutuo did not tell others about the matter urged by the Holy Order, especially Qin Qiong and Luo Shixin, the two young generals, in Zhang Xutuo's opinion, it is natural to be loyal to the Holy Lord, and he cultivated Qin Qiong and Luo Shixin, which was also for the Great Sui to cultivate talents! Therefore, Zhang Xutuo didn't want Qin Qiong and Luo Shixin to be dissatisfied with the Great Sui in their hearts. Thinking of Zhang Xutuo's good intentions, Jia Wuben couldn't help but feel bitter in his heart, but he still had a relaxed expression on his face, and said to Qin Qiong: "Uncle Bao! You're thinking too much, this battle, Dashuai and I have planned many times, and it's going to be fine! As for that Zhang Qingyu, it's the deputy general of Xingyang City who saved you once before, huh! This person is very skilled, nothing should happen! Besides, after all, he is also a Jianghu person, and he may not be able to stand the constraints of the army, so he will leave first! ”

"I hope so!" Qin Qiong's brows tightened, about the relationship between Tianyinmen and Wanhe, Qin Qiong only told Luo Shixin, and even Zhang Xutuo didn't say it. And from what Zhang Qingyu said to Qin Qiong before about the battle between Tianyin Gate and that Xiaoyao Gate, Qin Qiong felt that Zhang Qingyu would not leave by the way! It's just that what Jia Wuben said also made sense, and Qin Qiong had no way to refute it, so he could only nod his head in agreement. At this time, Qin Qiong realized that the two of them were talking patronically, and Zhang Xutuo had already walked into a tent under the leadership of General Cheng, and the two of them were already empty. Qin Qiong couldn't help but be stunned, and said to Jia Wuben with a wry smile: "Lord Jia, this, where will they be?" ”

"This ......" Jia Wuben also reacted, but looking at the dense camp tents in front of him, in this dark night, those camps looked the same, and he couldn't tell the difference. In desperation, Jia Wu could only spread his hands to Qin Qiong and said, "Let's look for them one by one!" ”

Qin Qiong nodded, now there is only this, maybe because it is already night, this military camp is empty, only a faint fire comes from the tents, even if Qin Qiong and Jia Wuben want to find someone to ask, they can't find it. The two wandered around the barracks for a while, but still found nothing, and finally Qin Qiong pointed to a camp tent next to him and said, "Lord Jia! I'll go in and ask! After speaking, Qin Qiong went directly into the camp tent.

But what Qin Qiong never expected was that when Qin Qiong had just entered the camp tent. Suddenly! A cold light flashed in front of his eyes, Qin Qiong instinctively flashed his body back, and he felt a coolness coming from the bridge of his nose, and a slight tingling sensation came, but it was a single knife that slashed in front of the bridge of Qin Qiong's nose, fortunately, it only cut a layer of skin!

"What people!" Qin Qiong immediately pulled out the iron whip hanging from his waist, and swung forward, directly blocking the steel knife! At the same time, Qin Qiong also fixed his eyes, and saw seven or eight soldiers wearing armor standing in the camp tent, each of them holding steel knives, staring at Qin Qiong tightly, with an unkind face! As for the one who shot at him, it was a man who was not tall and had a somewhat gentle face, his face was white and beardless, but his mouth was tightly pursed, and his eyes were full of murderous intent!

Seeing such a group of people appear in the camp tent, Qin Qiong immediately became vigilant and shouted in a deep voice: "Who are you?" ”

After those soldiers saw Qin Qiong, they seemed to be a little surprised, but the murderous intent on their faces did not subside, but it was the man who had just shot at Qin Qiong for the first time, glanced at Qin Qiong, and then at Jia Wuben, who was alone outside the camp, and the expression on his face immediately changed. put away the steel knife, saluted Qin Qiong with a fist, and shouted in a deep voice: "The villain is just a soldier resting here, I don't know that the general is coming, and he is reckless, offending the general!" Please also forgive the general! ”
