Thank you for the encouragement of the monthly pass of the dance, chenyan0926, and the old fisherman with a single hook, and thank xyx010 for your support! ——
The generals were still hesitating, but Hu Zongmao had already said sharply: "Governor Chu has an order, don't put down the knife yet, and accompany the strong men to talk." ”
The generals were helpless, although there were thousands of elite soldiers in Lanyi City, but Zhang Shuyan was arrested, the dragons were leaderless, no one dared to resist, and the sound of "choking" sounded, and the generals held back the fire in their stomachs and threw all the weapons in their hands to the ground.
Chu Huan and his subordinates did not have the habit of putting down their weapons, and when the generals of Jinzhou dropped their weapons, the guards had already approached, pressing the handle of the knife with one hand, and pulling the arms of the generals with the other, and said: "Let's go, let's find a place to talk." Hu Zongmao accepted nearly ten generals, but they were all in jaw-dropping, controlled by a group of guards, and saw that the main general and deputy general were all in the hands of the Chu army, and the soldiers of Jinzhou did not dare to act rashly.
Chu Huan looked satisfied, nodded to Qiu Ruxue, Qiu Ruxue glanced at a guard next to him, the guard stepped forward, pinched a black pill with two fingers, and wanted to stuff it into Zhang Han's mouth, Zhang Han had already smelled the pill with a trace of fishy smell, and shrank back, Qiu Ruxue said lightly: "The young general had better not move, I know the young general, but I don't know this knife." ”
With anger in his eyes, Zhang Han asked, "What is this?" ”
"This is the Tangram Pill." Qiu Ruxue said with a smile: "It's a great tonic pill, let's turn enemies into friends, I always have to give the young general a generous gift." ”
Zhang Han naturally didn't believe it, and said, "This is poison, you ...... You're going to poison me? ”
Zhang Shuyan also changed color at this time, looked at Chu Huan, and said, "Chu Du, you ...... What does that mean? ”
"General Zhang, don't be careful." Chu Huan was calm and relaxed, and looked very kind, "Actually, I have a lot of trust in General Zhang, and I know that General Zhang has the heart of abandoning the secret and turning to the light, but these brothers follow over, and they are weak, and if they are not careful, everyone will die here." He looked at Zhang Han and said, "Young General, this is indeed a poison, but Ben Du dares to guarantee that this pill will definitely not attack within twelve hours, and the antidote is ...... on Ben Du!" ”
"You...... You say twelve hours without seizures? Zhang Han's face was ugly, "What about after twelve hours?" ”
Chu Huan said with a smile: "This governor has already calculated, from Lanyi City to Wolf's Tooth Valley, a round trip, it should not take more than ten hours on the way...... As long as the major general comes back within twelve hours, the governor will immediately give you the antidote, and the governor speaks like a mouthful of foam and a nail! ”
Zhang Han sneered: "In this way, Chu Du still can't trust us? ”
"It's not that I can't believe it, but that the Governor is responsible for the safety of his brethren." Chu Huan sighed: "As long as the young general withdraws the defenders of the Wolf Tooth Valley, the governor will absolutely believe in your loyalty. He turned his gaze at Zhang Shuyan and said: "General Zhang, before the heroes of the green forest join the gang, we must hand over the name of the caster, although we are not heroes of the green forest, but there are some things, there must be a rule, I don't know what General Zhang wants?" ”
People are under the knife, they can't help but obey, Zhang Shuyan has already looked at Zhang Han, and said: "Han'er, we are loyal to Chu Du, take the pill, go early and return early, Chu Du will never lose his trust in us." ”
Zhang Han also knew that he couldn't help himself, so he had no choice but to take the black pill.
When Qiu Ruxue led five guards to take Zhang Han out of the city, Chu Huan ordered the four gates of Lanyi City to be closed and no one was allowed to enter or leave, and asked a group of guards to take the group of hostage generals to Zhang Shuyan's mansion together.
After Jinzhou raised troops, Lanyi City has been imposing martial law, every day as soon as the sun sets, the people are forbidden to walk around the city, when they arrive at Zhang Shuyan's mansion, the sky has already darkened, the whole city seems very quiet, and even the lights are rare.
Zhang Han and his entourage arrived at the Wolf's Tooth Valley in the middle of the night, before leaving, they knew that they had to walk at night, so they lit torches, and the defenders of the Wolf's Tooth Valley saw that there were torches coming in the direction of Lanyi City, and hurriedly reported to the guard Cai Cheng, when Cai Cheng arrived at the mouth of the Wolf's Tooth Valley, Zhang Han and his party had already arrived at the mouth of the valley, under the firelight, Zhang Han's face was really a little unsightly, Cai Cheng had stepped forward quickly, knelt on one knee and said respectfully: "Young General!" ”
Zhang Han glanced at Qiu Ruxue beside him, and saw Qiu Ruxue's expressionless face, after taking the pill into his stomach, Zhang Han always felt that he was going to die at any time, this kind of chronic death threat was the most terrifying, coughed, and said: "Cai Cheng, pass the order, the defenders of the Wolf Tooth Valley, immediately retreat to Lanyi City!" ”
At first, Cai Cheng thought that Zhang Han had come to inspect overnight, but when he heard Zhang Han's instructions, he was a little surprised, looked up at Zhang Han, and asked, "Young General, are you ...... What did you say? ”
"Are you deaf?" Zhang Han was in a bad mood to the extreme, he was afraid of delaying here, if he went back late and the poison attacked, it would be all over, "Quickly pass the order, the whole army retreats to Lanyi City!" ”
Cai Cheng cautiously asked, "Young General, is it ...... here in the Wolf Tooth Valley?" Doesn't it matter? ”
"How many more times do you want Lao Tzu to say it?" Zhang Han said angrily.
Cai Cheng hesitated for a moment and said, "The last general should obey his own fate, it's just ...... Major General, this Wolf Tooth Valley is the curse of Lan Yi City, and Hezhou City has fallen, Chu Huan's army is heading this way, if there is not a single soldier in the Wolf Tooth Valley, I am afraid of ......! ”
Qiu Ruxue had already urged him to step forward, arrived at Cai Cheng's side, and said in a deep voice: "The young general's orders, do you want to resist Ming?" ”
Cai Cheng knew Qiu Ruxue, and knew that this person seemed to be Hu Zongmao's subordinate before, so he was even more suspicious, so he actually got up and said solemnly: "Young General, it's not the last general to disobey orders, I don't know if the young general can carry General Zhang's token?" The general ordered the last general to defend the Wolf's Tooth Valley, and the last general did not dare to be negligent, and when he saw the general's military order, he immediately withdrew his troops! ”
Zhang Han sneered: "If there is no token, you won't listen to Lao Tzu?" ”
Cai Cheng said: "Even the young general is to blame, and the last general does not dare to obey." The Wolf's Tooth Valley is the Jinzhou Trench, and with the Wolf's Tooth Valley as a natural risk, Jinzhou can still fight with the Chu army, but once the army is withdrawn from the Wolf's Tooth Valley, the Chu army will drive straight in, and there will be no danger to defend anymore, and the city defense of Lanyi City is far less solid than the Wolf's Tooth Valley......! Before he could finish speaking, he only felt the cold wind around him, and out of the corner of his eye, he had already glimpsed that the one-eyed man had suddenly slashed down.
Cai Cheng was taken aback, he never thought that the one-eyed man would dare to make a knife, the one-eyed man's knife speed was extremely fast, Cai Cheng shouted: "There is a traitor!" Retreated sharply, but the knife cut down from his forehead, although it failed to cut Cai Cheng's head in half, but the blade from the forehead to the chin, actually cut out a deep knife mark, the skin and flesh turned out, the blood was dripping, hideous and terrifying, Cai Cheng screamed "ah", under the severe pain, but he knew that he was still retreating, Qiu Ruxue The whole person had already risen from the horse at this time, and pounced like an eagle.
Cai Cheng was followed by a group of soldiers, and he never thought that the people around the young general would actually make a move on Cai Cheng, and they were all stunned for a while, Cai Cheng's face was blurred with flesh and blood, and he only took two steps back, and suddenly felt a sharp pain in his chest, and the hatred was like blood, and the cold moon blade in his hand had already stabbed into Cai Cheng's chest.
The Cold Moon Blade is one of the world's famous knives, sharpening iron like mud, Cai Cheng's flesh and blood, how can he block the sharpness of the Cold Moon Blade, the Cold Moon Blade penetrates from the front chest to the back, and the hatred is like blood quickly retracts the knife, after being pulled out from the body, the Cold Moon Blade is not stained with blood, under the firelight, the blade is white and bright, like a round of crescent, cold and bright.
Cai Cheng covered his chest, his body staggered and retreated, his eyes had been blocked by blood, and his eyes were red with blood, but he still looked at Zhang Han vaguely, his eyes were full of anger, but more questions, he really didn't know why Zhang Han would withdraw the defenders of Wolf Tooth Valley, and he didn't know that he had followed Zhang's father and son for many years and was loyal, why the people around Zhang Han would do it to him.
With endless resentment towards Zhang Han, Cai Cheng lay on the ground, his body twitched a few times, and then he stopped moving, and the blood in his chest flowed outward, thrilling.
Everyone stared blankly at Cai Cheng's corpse, and then their eyes moved to Zhang Han's face.
Zhang Han's face was pale, his lips trembled slightly, Qiu Ruxue put away the knife, and said in a deep voice: "The major general's military orders are like a mountain, Cai Cheng disobeys the order, intends to rebel, and there is no forgiveness for killing!" ”
Qiu Ruxue's voice was cold, Zhang Han closed his eyes, his body trembled slightly, and finally opened his eyes, and said coldly: "Pass the order, the whole army of Wolf Tooth Valley will withdraw to Lanyi City, there must be no mistake!" ”
Zhang Han's corpse was still bleeding hot blood, how dare the soldiers of the Wolf Tooth Valley disobey the order, and immediately follow Zhang Han's orders, and immediately ordered the entire army of the Wolf Tooth Valley to gather immediately and withdraw from the Wolf Tooth Valley.
Zhang Han was anxious, the terrain of the Wolf Tooth Valley was dangerous, and the soldiers wanted to gather from above, but it would take a while, he had been calculating the time of the poison attack in his heart, and even wanted to return first, but Qiu Ruxue said very clearly on the side, he had to wait until all the defenders gathered, and Zhang Han led the defenders of the Wolf Tooth Valley back to the city.
Zhang Han could only urge again and again, fortunately, the defenders stationed in the Wolf's Tooth Valley were also the elite soldiers under Zhang Shuyan, well-trained, strict military discipline, thousands of defenders of the Wolf's Tooth Valley, withdrew from all corners of the Wolf's Tooth Valley to gather, and waited until the whole army gathered, and determined that there were no soldiers stationed in the Wolf's Tooth Valley, Zhang Han was anxious and ordered the whole army to return to the city.
Under the leadership of Zhang Han, the defenders of Langya Valley marched rapidly in the direction of Lanyi City, more than ten miles, but they felt a strange sound behind them, and the soldiers couldn't help but look back, only to see that in the distance behind them, there was a little firelight, and countless torches were moving closely, and the firelight spread out all over the field, like the stars in the sky, countless.
In the northwest sky, it is difficult to see the bright stars, everyone knows, it must be a very charming scene, but the torches like the stars, it is not so wonderful, with a terrifying momentum, so that the defenders who retreated from the Wolf Tooth Valley are frightened, at this time they are the most stupid people, and they have already understood that the Chu army has crossed the valley.
