At this time, Cui Meng already knew the news of the fall of the Stone Fort, and both he and Xie Sichun were shocked, and personally led a team of 5,000 men to support the Stone Castle. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info Chai Yanping was counting the supplies in the city, and Qi Liren came over and said, "The scout has come to report, Cui Meng has already brought people out." Chai Yanping was overjoyed and said: "Just in time, robbing our city, he thinks his rear will be stable?" Now that the stone fort was lost, he even cut off the retreat route. I see how he is bouncing around the state this time. At the same time, he sent someone to Luochuan to report to Gao Bin, and he caught Yuwendao.

Cui Meng's men and horses surrounded the east gate under the stone castle, he sat on horseback, and pointed to Chai Yanping on the city tower very angrily and scolded: "What kind of hero are you, you actually took advantage of the danger of people to attack our city." If you have the ability to come out, let's put up a position and fight! Chai Yanping said loudly: "Shibao is the boundary of my Eastern Qinzhou, you led people to kill people in the territory, and robbed my central county, who are we shameless?" Now that I'm just using a little trick to get my city back, you're angry? ”

Cui Meng was choked by him and had nothing to say, he was originally in a position of unfavorable public opinion, and it was indeed he who used the trick first, but his skills were not as good as others and he was put on a position, who can blame him? But when Chai Yanping said this, he also felt that he couldn't hold his face, so he said loudly: "You don't talk nonsense, you are the first to rebel, I just came to sweep away you traitors by the king's order." Besides, this city belongs to His Majesty the Emperor, when did it become your family? Aren't you rebelling? ”

Chai Yanping immediately replied: "In that case, why did the general bring people to reprimand me for taking your city in anger?" He deliberately pronounced your two words very strongly, and Cui Meng was stammered by what he said, "You...... You...... Vexatious! Chai Yanping laughed, and said in his heart that you are incoherent at the moment, and you can't even speak? So he smiled and said: "General Cui, I see that you have a lot of ability, for the sake of your loyalty, I will give you a chance, you can bring people to attack the city!" I can lay down this city, and I want to let Chai Yanping give it up. ”

At this time, Chai Yanping's agitation method, he deliberately let Cui Men attack the city, the more he can't beat it, the more unfavorable it will be to Cui Meng, he will invest more troops to attack the city, and then the defense of the central county will become weak, and at that time, he only needs to let the bald beggar Liren take a small team to take advantage of the night to touch the city, and he can easily take the central part, after all, the people in the city support themselves, the most important thing is that they occupy the home advantage, and the time and place are favorable.

Cui Meng really said angrily: "Okay, you wait for me." "Then he led the people to retreat. Chai Yanping thought that he would go back to rectify the soldiers and make a comeback. Who knew that the scout said that he had led the troops back to the central county, which Chai Yanping did not expect. However, the news of Yuwendao's capture has spread, which is undoubtedly great news for Gao Bin, and it is a life-saving talisman for Han Xiong and Cui Meng. Especially Yuwen Hu, who is sitting in Chang'an, he is already on pins and needles at the moment.

Dugu Xin was summoned to Xiangguo Mansion overnight, Yuwen Hu picked up a few secret letters and threw them in front of him, and asked angrily, "What do you mean by this?" I treat you as respectful as an elder, but you have fornicated with foreign enemies and high-ranking guests, and you slandered the court and wanted to rebel? "Dugu Xin thought at first that he was summoned because the war in Eastern Qinzhou was tight and Yuwen Dao was captured, it is estimated that Yuwen Hu wanted him to send troops to help Han Xiong, so as to end the expedition against Gaobin as soon as possible, but he never expected that things would take a turn for the worse, and it turned out that his identity was exposed.

He did think about uniting Gao Bin and Li Hu to overthrow Yuwen Hu's rule, but all this existed on paper, in essence, he did not take any action, which was also because of his suspicious personality and hesitation to do things.

Dugu Xin looked at these secret letters to Gao Bin, and the more he looked at them, the more panicked he became, how did these things get into Yuwen Hu's hands, he hurriedly defended: "Xiangguo, at this time, someone wants to frame the old minister, and the old minister has always been loyal to you. You must believe in the old minister, don't be separated by the villain. Yuwen said: "If what you said is true, then good, I will send you to East Qinzhou now, let Gao Bin release the people, automatically withdraw from East Qinzhou, and he himself will come to Chang'an to apologize." ”

This is simply an impossible task for Dugu Xin, not to mention whether Gao Bin will let him go, you let him withdraw from his fiefdom of East Qinzhou, this is simply a tiger skin, and it can't be achieved at all. Dugu Xin said with embarrassment: "Xiangguo, you are forcing the old minister to die, how can Gao Bin be willing to listen to my words and release people and dedicate land, and bear the guilt of Jing pleading." These old ministers really can't do it. ”

Yuwen Hu sneered: "Aren't you usually on good terms with him?" I'm sure this will not bother you. Dugu Xin's face was wrinkled together at the moment, and his original old face looked even more old at this moment. After thinking for a long time, Dugu Xin nodded and said, "Then the old minister is going to try?" But there is no guarantee that it will succeed. "He wants to play a delaying tactic with Yuwen Hu, he will flee back to Fengzhou first, and then make a plan, if he can't do it, he will fight against his mother with Gao Bin.

Yuwen Hu immediately said: "Okay, then I will believe you once, but before you go, send all your family members to Xiangguo's mansion, and I will take care of them for you for a few days." "This trick is too vicious, Dugu Xin's family is old and young, a total of thirty or forty people, if all these people are mastered by Yuwen Hu as hostages, then he will not have the capital to turn over, and he will always be led by Yuwen Hu in the future.

At this moment, he has two daughters in the capital, one is Li Yuan's daughter-in-law who has not passed the door, the eldest daughter Duguyan, the other is Yang Jian's wife who has not passed the door, and the second daughter Dugu Linglong. In addition, the old lady and a kind of relative, there are also a lot of hostages, but at the moment, Yuwen Huhu is pressing at the slightest and does not give him a chance to delay, so he can only say: "This is okay, please let me go back to the house and explain to my family." I'll make arrangements for that. Yuwen Hu nodded and said, "Yes, I will let my Forbidden Army Commander escort you." ”

When Dugu Xin heard this, he scolded his mother in his heart, and Yuwen Hu, who was in a bad mood, was really forcing himself on the road to desperation. He was in danger at the moment and didn't dare to make a mistake, so he could only take everything down first and return to the house to make a decision. So Dugu Xin was escorted back to his mansion in Chang'an by the men and horses of the forbidden army, and Dugu Xin and Dugu Linglong heard that their father was back, and immediately came to the door to greet them.

Li Yuan is also in the mansion at the moment. As soon as Dugu Xin saw him as soon as he entered the door, his heart moved, and then he said to the commander of the forbidden army behind him: "I'll explain to the children, you wait." The commander of the forbidden army snorted coldly and said: "Xiangguo wants me to look at you every step of the way, if you have anything to say, say it to your face." Dugu was so angry in his confidence, at this time Li Yuan and Dugu Yan saw that something was wrong, Li Yuan stepped forward and saluted: "Meet my father-in-law." You're ......" he looked at the Praetorian Commander and the soldiers behind him. Dugu Xin shook his head and said, "Xiangguo is going to send me to the front line, and everything at home depends on you." He glanced at him and continued: "Say hello to your father for me, tell him that we will reunite in Chang'an one day, and ask him to bring his own grape wine and luminous glass." (To be continued.) )
