September 23, late at night, Beaulongburg. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Li Zixiong and Han Shige led the leopard cavalry day and night, and finally arrived at Panlong Fort before midnight.

Mi Yong, Jingjiang Liujinfei, a number of big axes, Erzhu Tianxiao and other commanders of the Thunder Army went out of the fort to greet them, and won the praise of Li Zixiong, Han Shige, and Yang Gongdao, especially for a number of big axes that offered a plan to seize the fort.

A number of big axes were humble, and they gave the credit to several heroes of Yanshan, and introduced them to Li Zixiong and others. These heroes are the leaders of the Yanshan bandits, and they are also the brothers of a number of big axes, this time they were persuaded by a number of big axes, not only participated in the alliance's Thunder Army, but also made great contributions in the process of capturing Panlong Fort, it was they who hid their own people in advance in the ranks of merchants and took advantage of the chaos to sneak into Panlong Fort and ignited the fire, otherwise it would be impossible for the Thunder Army to take this strong pass in a short period of time.

Li Zixiong greeted him warmly, and immediately ordered a heavy reward, dividing the spoils of Panlong Fort into three, of which Yanshan Haojie took a share, the Thunder soldiers took a share, and the remaining share was handed over to the alliance. Yanshan heroes were pleasantly surprised, and the bandits cheered. More than 200 bandits divided one-third of the spoils of Panlong Fort, and the rewards were too rich, and each bandit became a local tyrant in a blink of an eye.

Li Zixiong was in a very good mood, on the way he received an urgent report from Zhou Zhong that Baitan City had been taken, and now Panlong Fort had also been taken, and the process was far smoother than imagined. All this is not because of his good command by Li Zixiong, nor because of the good command of the southward selection of the front army, but because the "back hand" deployed by Li Fengyun played a vital role, and of course, what is more important is Pei Shiju's strategy.

His next task is to obtain the material support of the wealthy families in northern Hebei and Youyan, and then to get in touch with Duan Da as soon as possible, and strive to win the support of the Zhuojun Left-behind Mansion in the shortest possible time.

The key to the success of the strategy to recover Anzhou lies in whether the alliance can win support from within the Great Wall, otherwise the current results will soon be in vain, and all previous efforts will be wiped out with the return of the Xi King Ah Huizheng and the five armies of the Xi tribe, with the arrival of winter, and with the joint attack of the Turks and other ethnic groups in the northeast.

After entering Panlong Fort, Li Zixiong did not wait to rest, and immediately convened a military meeting.

Mi Yong recounted in detail the attack on Panlong Fort and the siege of the border city of Gubeikou, but Li Zixiong didn't care about these at all, he cared about the movements on the Gubeikou side.

"The Xi people took the Middle Earth merchant Jia as a hostage, and there was no movement at all over there in Gubeikou?" Li Zixiong frowned and asked.

Mi Yong nodded, "The gate has been closed, the garrison in the city is on guard, anyone who approaches the gate for two hundred steps will be warned, and if they go any further, they will be shot." ”

Li Zixiong, Han Shige, and Yang Gongdao looked at each other, and doubts arose in their hearts, since Li Fengyun had reached an agreement with the wealthy families in northern Hebei and Youyan, why did Panlong Fort fall, and the Middle Earth Great Scroll was erected, and there was no movement on the other side? That doesn't make sense, does it?

Li Zixiong turned his eyes to look at Li Mengwei. Under special circumstances, there was Li Mengwei outside the Great Wall and Li Sixing inside the Great Wall, which could ensure that the two sides could establish contact.

Li Mengwei was also worried, and when he saw Li Zixiong looking at him, he immediately stood up and took the initiative to ask, "Ming Gong, rush to Gubeikou immediately." ”

Li Zixiong waved his hand vigorously, "Go quickly, go back quickly, and ensure safety." So-and-so is waiting for you here. ”

At midnight, Li Mengwei and Jingjiang Liujin led a team of horses to the Gubeikou Pass. On the Great Wall, piles of bonfires are burning, looking like a string of dazzling pearls from a distance, lighting up half of the sky.

Two hundred paces away from the key pass, the soldiers of the Ma army lined up, held torches high, and shouted wildly, "The messenger knocks on the ......"

He also sounded the contact horn and begged the other party to respond.

After a dozen consecutive shouts, the horn finally sounded from the pass, allowing the messenger to enter the pass.

Li Mengwei did not hesitate, immediately took off his armor and weapons, only wore a thin uniform, and strode to the pass with his bare hands, sat in a hanging basket, and was pulled up the city wall by the city guards.

As soon as Li Mengyan showed his head, he heard a familiar exclamation, which was Li Sixing's cry, and then a large group of people "hula" surrounded him, and without waiting for Li Mengyan to get out of the hanging basket, he made all kinds of nonsense. Li Mengwei was very calm, and grabbed Li Sixing, "Who is General Cui Jiajiu?" ”

Li Sixing looked at it, raised his hand and pointed to a big man in military uniform at the back of the crowd. Li Mengwei immediately apologized to the surrounding crowd, and then walked quickly to Cui Jiu, bowed, and was about to speak, but was stopped by Cui Jiu shaking his hand, "Don't worry, I've seen the town general and the town deputy first." ”

Li Mengwei suddenly understood, no wonder Mi Yong and others have not been able to get in touch with Gubeikou, it turned out that it was not that the wealthy families in northern Hebei and Youyan did not arrive in time, but that they lacked confidence in Li Fengyun and did not communicate with the military and political chiefs of Gubeikou in advance, but they encountered obstacles at the critical moment, and could only stand on the Great Wall and wait.

Cui Jiu was expressionless, didn't say a word, and took Li Mengwei and Li Sixing all the way, and it could be seen that he was very angry and angry.

He couldn't help but be angry, today not only the Cui family's face was "cut", but the face of the wealthy families of Jibei and Youyan, and even the face of the Taiyuan Guo family were "cut", the Murong family was too much, and Murong Zhengze was even more "upright" unreasonable.

Before Guo Xuan excitedly told Murong Zhengzhi that the Panlong Fort side was indeed the Middle-earth army, but it was the rebels who went out of the fortress from the direction of Yanbei at the beginning of the month, and the real purpose of their battle out of the fortress was to recover Anzhou, and a miracle appeared, this impossible thing turned out to come true, of course, the truth of this matter still needs to be further verified, and it is necessary to send someone out of the customs to contact Panlong Fort.

Guo Xuan bluntly told him, the intention is obvious, this kind of low-hanging fruit is shared by everyone, Murong Zhengze not only will not refuse, but will also be grateful to him, who expected that Murong Zhengze ignored him, and sent him away with a word, "This is an extraordinary time, the door is closed, and no one is allowed to enter or exit." ”

Guo Xuan was patient and persuaded at first, but Murong Zheng refused to open and close it on the grounds of the safety of the Great Wall, and did not allow anyone to leave the customs. Guo Xuan, who had lost face, finally lost his patience, and he had been suppressed by Murong Zhengze for several months, full of resentment, and new and old hatreds broke out together.

Guo Xuan was furious, and forcibly ordered Murong Zhengze to open the gate as the general of Gubeikou Town, but this move completely angered Murong Zhengzhi, pointing at Guo Xuan's nose and scolding, saying that Guo Xuan was suspected of colluding with traitors and communicating with foreign countries, which had seriously endangered the safety of the Great Wall, and he wanted to play impeachment
