Chapter 681: Capture the City
"It's raining!"
Yang Shouwen looked up at the dark night sky and let out a sigh. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Huan Daochen was beside him, and he could hear the bitterness hidden in his sigh, but he didn't know how to comfort him.
According to Yang Shouwen's plan, he was ready to burn the ancient road after dawn.
Unexpectedly, this heavy rain completely ruined his plan......
"Li Jun, then do we still want to stick to the ancient road?"
Twenty miles of ancient roads, twists and turns.
However, with 600 people, it is impossible to stop the flying barbarians.
You must know that these 600 soldiers are not the Anxi Mo Sword Army. There is a world of difference, both in terms of combat effectiveness and will.
Six hundred people are still following Yang Shouwen, and there are no complaints, which is already a great thing.
Since Yonghui, the government soldiers have been increasingly deteriorating, training is lax, military discipline is loose, and personnel are not in order. The 500 soldiers in Yang Shouwen's hands were recruited from Jianzhou, and in comparison, their training level was not bad, and the military discipline was relatively strict.
But that's all!
This is also why Wu Zetian formed a unity army and let Yang Chenglie take over.
To some extent, it was because she saw that the government soldiers were useless, and it was time to make changes.
Yang Shouwen knew very well in his heart that it was okay for him to set up an ambush and set a trap with these soldiers and horses.
But if they let them be ten times their own, and are eager to go south, Fei Wuman is hard to carry it head-on...... The outcome will be absolutely miserable.
The twenty-mile ancient road is not a place for decisive battles!
They ran for several days in a row, not to mention the lack of men and horses, and the shortage of weapons and baggage.
You must rely on it to be able to form a block against the flying barbarians! Yang Shouwen's eyes narrowed into a slit, and after a moment of silence, he said: "Pass my order, everyone immediately evacuate Bosa Mountain with me, and we must arrive in Puci before dawn." ”
"Puci?"
Huan Daochen was stunned, but Xuan even understood Yang Shouwen's intentions.
"Does Li Jun want to use Puci to stop the enemy?"
Yang Shouwen stretched out his hand, wiped the rain on his face, and looked at Huan Daochen, showing appreciation.
"There are no outsiders here, you don't have to hide my identity, don't call Li Jun Li Jun anymore, I'm still not used to it.
Call me by my real name, or call me by my name.
Napuci is located in the south of Anju Water, and it is also the closest city to Posa Mountain.
Meng Kai is afraid that he will not have a good time in the past two days, so after he passes through the Posa Mountain, he will definitely send troops to Puci to replenish the baggage......
Puci's terrain is dangerous, and there is a safe water as a barrier, which is also the best choice for us to block Meng Kai.
Otherwise, after Meng Kai finished replenishing the baggage in Puci, he would go all the way south, and with the soldiers and horses in my hands, I am afraid that it will be difficult to stop. ”
Speaking of this, Yang Shouwen's words changed.
"Big cat, after returning to Luoyang this time, come and help me."
"Huh?"
"You see, Your Majesty ordered me to become a monk for three years, and now that time is approaching.
But there aren't many people around me who can be used...... Instead of going back and loitering, why don't you come and help me? ”
Yang Shouwen didn't say it too clearly, but Huan Daochen knew it in his heart.
Previously, Yang Shouwen seized Wu Kui and had already entered the official career.
But Wu Zetian ordered him to become a monk for three years, so until now, he is actually still a white body.
Including his so-called director, it is only a temporary position. After three years, Yang Shouwen will definitely be used.
After all, he has his back to the East Palace.
So his future has already been arranged.
Once you enter the court, it will definitely be smooth sailing...... And what about Huan Daochen? He was not taken seriously at home. In this case, it is better to follow Yang Shouwen, maybe you can have a better future without the arrangement of your father.
It's just that......
Huan Daochen was still a little hesitant in his heart, and he didn't know how to answer for a while.
Seeing this, Yang Shouwen didn't urge, only patted him on the shoulder, and said softly: "You don't have to rush to reply, think about it." My commitment will be valid until the expiration of the three-year period. If you really can't do it, you can also ask Lingzun.
Okay, now let's set off immediately and rush to Puci County. ”
Huan Daochen breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly bowed down to take the order.
He was really worried that Yang Shouwen would let him express his position now, then he really didn't know how to choose.
Don't look at Huan Daochen, who seems to be uninhibited on the surface, idle, and not very close to his family. But no matter what, the Huan family is all from the Jiangzuowang clan...... Well, it used to be the Jiang Zuowang clan. Although it has declined now, the emaciated camel is bigger than a horse, and the things he has to consider are more complicated than those of ordinary people, such as Lu Chengzhi......
Yang Shouwen is indeed a big thick leg!
He is a son of the Hongnong Yang family, and his mother is the daughter of the Zheng family in Xingyang.
His father was trusted by the saints and held military power; And Yang Shouwen is not only a talented man who moves the two capitals, but also the son-in-law of the prince.
This pile, one by one, sounds very good.
But it is precisely for this reason that Huan Daochen is a little hesitant.
First of all, what will be the status of Yang Shouwen's horse? Since the Tang Dynasty, horses have not been allowed to participate in politics...... Li Bao'er is now a monk, but once she is still vulgar, she is still the princess of the dynasty. After all, Li Bao'er has given up the title of princess, and the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty don't know much. If so, Yang Shouwen's future may not be bright.
Secondly, Emperor Wu was in power.
Although the saint has already shown the idea of returning to power, what kind of attitude will the Li Tang clan have in the future?
Yang Chenglie is the person trusted by Emperor Wu, so when the crown prince takes power, will he be implicated?
These things must be considered carefully by Huan Daochen.
But he also understands that he won't have much time. Once the three-year period expires and the situation becomes clear, he will lose his current significance when he takes refuge in Yang Shouwen.
This is really a worrying choice!
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Puci, a small city located on the south bank of the Anju water.
Its area is not large, only two-thirds the size of Shehong County, with a population of about 13,000 people.
Anju water flowed out of the Posa mountain and turned a corner in Puci County. Over time, a fertile river beach was formed.
One hundred and twenty miles to the south, is Anyue, where the capital of Puzhou is located.
By dawn, the rainstorm had already stopped.
The people who guarded the gate of Puci opened the gate, stood at the gate, and stretched.
However, before he could stretch out his lazy waist, he suddenly heard the sound of horses' hooves like a storm coming from a distance.
The sound of hooves was like thunder, from far to near.
Min Zhuang hurriedly looked up, and saw a cavalry army coming from the other side of the river, speeding through the stone bridge on the surface of the Anjushui River.
"Who?"
The Minzhuang was shocked and hurriedly shouted and asked.
I only heard the leader shouting loudly: "Get out of the way, there is an urgent military situation, take us to see the county honorable person." ”
Urgent military situation?
Minzhuang couldn't help but sigh in his heart, and hurriedly moved the sentry card at the city gate.
And at this time, the cavalry also came in front of him.
The leader is a slender and handsome young man.
He was dressed in black, and had a black horse on his crotch, but the horse's neck had a golden mane like a lion's mane. Hai Dongqing, who was wearing a scarf on his head, jumped off the horse and was about six feet three inches tall, holding a big gun, and standing a divine horse on his shoulder.
"I am Li Yi, the director of the Punishment Temple, from Zizhou, there is an urgent military report, take me to the county government quickly."
The young man's voice was soft, but there was an irresistible majesty.
When the man heard this, he hurriedly agreed: "Please come with me." ”
"Also, by my command, the gates will be closed."
"Huh?"
The Minzhuang was stunned for a moment...... You know, this closing the city gate is not something that his small team can decide.
There are very strict rules for the opening and closing of the county gates.
Unless there are special circumstances, they cannot be violated.
What does it mean that this young man in front of him is about to close the city gate as soon as he comes? The head of the Minzhuang team didn't know what the position of this division was, and he was a little uncertain for a while.
His hesitation annoyed one of the lieutenants in the cavalry.
Then he saw the captain come out on his horse, and with a whip of his hand, he struck him.
"Didn't you hear me clearly when the lord told you to close the city gates?
The Flying Barbarians are coming, do you want to open the city and surrender? If you want to be verbose again, don't blame me for not recognizing people with the sword in my hand......"
"Dugu Xuan, stop!"
Seeing this, the young man immediately stopped the captain.
He said to the people, "Listen to my command, just close the door...... From now on, no one is allowed to open it without my order.
Dugu Xuan, take you to the city and take over the defense.
If anyone dares to stop him, he will be killed on the spot, regardless of his official position...... Except for things, I will take care of it myself. ”
When Dugu Xuan heard this, he immediately bowed down and agreed.
He led a group of men and horses to rush into the city gate, and then went straight to the city tower along the gallop road.
The young man looked at Min Zhuang and said in a deep voice, "Now, can you take me to visit the county honorable?" (To be continued.) )
