Section 8 There is an accident in Qingzhou [II]

Although the officials at the head of the city were nervous, fortunately, the cavalry outside the city did not seem to have any malicious intent, all of them were lightly armed, without armor, and did not carry long and short weapons for combat with them, and obviously maintained a state of march, and there was no sign of transformation to a combat state. Since the cavalry maintained a peaceful posture, the guards at the head of the city let out a long breath. The knight led by him directly took more than 20 personal guards and cavalry to the city gate downstairs and shouted loudly:

"Open the door! It's open! We're going to go into the city and rest for a while! ”

The attitude of the cavalry under the city greatly relieved the tension of the officials at the head of the city. When they saw this, they began to talk about it.

"Where did this come from?"

"I don't know. Look at what Jia Touer says. ”

"Do we have so many cavalry in Qingzhou?"

"I heard that there are thousands of General Chunyu's subordinates!"

"Silence! Don't you know that the county order was promoted by Tian Changshi? ”

…………

Discussion is discussion, and everyone focuses on Jia Laosan. In the eyes of all his subordinates, Jia Laosan, the city gate official, poked his head out of the battlement of the city gate tower and asked loudly:

"Where did the general come from? Is there a military order scheduling? ”

Hearing Jia Laosan's question, the generals under the city looked up for a while, and suddenly scolded with a smile:

"Fake cat! You're a cat! How did you hide here? ”

This sounded like an ordinary friend's reminiscence, but when it entered Jia Laosan's ears, it immediately stirred up huge waves in his heart.

- Fake cats?

――How many years has no one called themselves that?

For a while, Jia Laosan actually had a feeling of tears in his eyes. Fortunately, he forcibly controlled his facial expression, and then replied loudly:

"It's you! Didn't you say it would only take a few days to arrive? Why is it here now? ”

The general of the city replied with a smile:

"The order from above is to arrive today, of course I have to arrive today! Otherwise, what if you miss a big thing? ”

After a few words of dialogue, Jia Laosan no longer had any doubts. Turning to a dozen of his subordinates, he said:

"Go, open the gates of the city, and let them in."

Everyone listened to the order, although they also had some doubts in their hearts, but they did not have time to ask in detail. A delicate little official said a lot:

"Jia Tou'er, do you want to notify the county order?"

Jia Laosan heard this. After thinking for a while, he said:

"That's fine. If you have fast legs, go and tell the county order, saying that General Chunyu's cavalry has entered the city, and ask the county commander to come out to greet you. ”

"Okay!"

After sending away the delicate little official, Jia Laosan suppressed his excitement and ordered again:

"Don't be idle, go open the door!"

The city gate slowly opened, and the generals under the city head greeted the rear. The cavalry, which numbered more than a thousand men, lined up in a neat queue and entered the city. However, not all cavalry entered the city. Hundreds of cavalry were left outside the city by the general, and it was not known what they were doing.

"Everyone, stay safe, don't ask, don't move. Otherwise, you're in big trouble! ”

Jia Laosan solemnly warned his subordinates. Then he walked towards the cavalry that had entered the city. After a few words with the leading general, the general actually let his entourage lead a spare horse. Please Jia Laosan ride up. Jia Laosan did not shirk, turned over slightly, and jumped on horseback. That skillful equestrian skill made his subordinates can't help but shout hello.

"Hey, why have I never heard Jia Tou'er say, why is his equestrian skills so good?"

Seeing Jia Laosan's strange behavior. There are also people who have doubts. Soon, though, these doubts became unimportant. Because not long after, from the direction of the county temple, there was a faint sound of shouting and killing. These strange sounds shocked the officials who were originally responsible for guarding the city. And the generals who were led by the army remained near the city gates. said that it was dozens of cavalrymen who responded to the rear team, but at this time, they all pulled out their waist knives and surrounded the officials who were defending the city!

"Unload all your weapons!"

An officer who looked like a tun commander ordered loudly.

"What? Do!? You ......"

Faced with the panicked questioning of the defenders, the leaders of the cavalry grinned:

"If it weren't for Jia Sima's special orders, Lao Tzu would have cut you down a long time ago! Oh, you still don't get it? We won't hide it from you, we are Zhang Dashuai's people, Jia Sima, well, that is, your leader Jia Laosan, is actually Zhang Dashuai's people! Got it?! ”

The so-called "Zhang Dashuai" is an affectionate name for the insolence of the insolence department in the north. Generally speaking, only the old man who followed the insolence to fight the world before the insolence made his career, that is, four years before Zhongping, is qualified to be called so. At that time, Zhang Qi was still the commander of the Yellow Turban Army, so he got such a title in the mouth of his old subordinates.

"Jia Laosan is Zhang ...... Handsome people? ……”

This news shocked all the city defenders dumbfounded!

You must know that Jia Laosan has been mixed under Han Fu since the first year of Chuping. Moreover, the last time Yuan Shao counterattacked the battle of Jizhou, this Jia Laosan also participated in the war, of course, he had already transferred to the civil affairs system at that time, and he was just transporting baggage in the rear. It is indeed a bit outrageous that such a well-informed character would be a spy on the arrogant side.

But in any case, Jia Laosan is an arrogant person, which is too unbelievable for the officials guarding the city!

"Don't talk nonsense! Fight or surrender! One word can be decided! ”

With a loud shout from another petty officer, more than a dozen knights who looked fierce and unusually fierce drew their swords at the city guards. This frightening scene made the faces of the city guards pale.

"That's it, let's all descend!"

The enemy has already entered the city, and even attacked the county temple. These low-level pawns of the Yuan family, in fact, whether they descend or not have no effect on the overall situation. Since he has no power to return to heaven, why did he give his life in vain?

In less than three moments, the east gate of Leling County started.

Just half an hour after the east gate was controlled by the cavalry of the raiding Zhang Mad's army, the entire Leling City had already fallen into the hands of the Zhang Mad's army. What's even more satisfying is that during the entire raid, because Jia Laosan, that is, the latent spy named Jia Li, actively planned and guided the way in advance. The raiding army was able to take full control of the key points in the city in time. So much so that when Leling completely fell, he didn't have time to report to the surrounding friendly forces.

Even if there were a few low-level officers in the Leling garrison who were loyal to Yuan Tan, they wanted to go out of the city to report to Yuan Tan. But they faced the more than 200 rangers who were lying in ambush outside the four gates of the arrogant army, and in the end, none of them were able to slip through the net.

Le Jin rode on a tall horse with high spirits, watching Leling City fall into his hands silently, and his heart was very proud.

To know. There are 2,000 county soldiers stationed in this city all year round, as a defense of the city. If the army is forcefully attacked, even if tens of thousands of troops are dispatched from Jizhou, it will take several days to conquer it. However, it is such a well-equipped county, and it took less than an hour for Lejin to completely take it down.

This, of course, is due to the well-trained and straightforward actions of Lejin's subordinates. But the biggest credit. But it still belongs to Neiying Jia Li. It's just that when the credit is distributed, according to the convention in the army, the most dazzling merit will still fall on the head of the chief general, Lejin.

Thinking of this, Le Jin smiled and said to Jia Li on the side:

"Fake cat, you have made a great contribution this time, and I think the lord will definitely reward you heavily. If you have any requests, don't miss the opportunity! ”

Le Jin is one of the oldest generals under Zhang Mad. Now he is a first-class figure of "miscellaneous general" with the highest official position below his arrogance. He treated a subordinate so kindly. It can be said that it has given Jia Li enough face.

"I ...... When the battle is over, I just want to go back to Meiji, divide the land there, and spend time with my brothers. Nothing else. ”

After listening to Jia Li's words, Le Jin also fell silent. After a while, he said:

"You have this heart. I'm not stingy. When the time comes, I will pay 50,000 yuan, and you will repair the monument of the year, which can be regarded as a part of everyone's heart. ”

What are they talking about? Isn't there something you don't understand?

I don't know if you still remember the previous battle of the Southern Huns?

This Jia Li was originally Lejin's old subordinate. His immediate superior. It is the head of the "Nine Martyrs of the Blood Plain" that spreads in the northern part of Bingzhou - Xiao Dazui.

In that year, Zhang Qiang destroyed the Southern Xiongnu at the beginning and captured the Xiongnu Wang Ting Meiji, but was suddenly attacked by the Southern Xiongnu Shan Yu Fuluo led by the army. At that time, it was Xiao Dazui who happened to be on guard duty. In order to delay the enemy's surprise attack and prepare for the counterattack of the army, Xiao Dazui insisted on fighting to the death. This is the origin of the "Nine Martyrs of the Blood Plain".

Due to the sacrifice of the "Nine Martyrs of the Blood Plain", a little precious time was bought for the counterattack of the arrogant army. Afterwards, feeling the fearless spirit of the "Nine Martyrs of the Blood Plain", Zhang Qiang personally erected a monument for the nine martyrs who died and wrote an article to commemorate future generations.

In this battle, the only surviving vigilante soldier was Jia Li, nicknamed "Fake Cat". The sacrifice of all his comrades-in-arms made Jia Li feel extremely guilty. After this incident, Jia Li felt that he had no shame to stay in the army anymore, so he specially asked to see Zhang Qiang, and expressed his willingness to take on the most dangerous mission, so as to prove that he was not greedy for life and afraid of death.

Zhang Qi originally wanted to persuade Jia Li not to be impulsive, but later saw that he was determined, so he pushed the boat along the way and let him join the Taiping Dao spy network controlled by Wei Xiao.

After that, under Wei Xiao's personal arrangement, Jia Li lurked in the Jizhou army and stayed for more than eight years. During this period, Jia Li did not usually make any movement except for occasionally contacting the people sent by Wei Xiao. But the only time he carried out his mission, he allowed the arrogant soldiers to take an important front-line stronghold without blood.

Le Jin and Jia Li's sighs were only a few short sentences and did not continue.

For Jia Li, he used nearly ten years of lurking in the enemy camp to prove that he was not greedy for life and afraid of death, and his wish had come to an end. After that, he will break away from the spy system of Taiping Road and become a senior official in Meiji County. But for Lejin, the battle that decided the fate of Yuan Tan's kid this time has just begun! (To be continued......)
