The tent in the center of the camp outside the city is Chu Haoyu's temporary tent, which is firmly guarded by the blood guards, even if Li Jizhong is not allowed to order or dare to set foot in it. Looking at the cold and solemn face of the blood guard, Li Jizhong showed a wry smile on his face, and just as he was about to leave, Sun Hou strode over, opened his mouth and said, "General Li, the prince invites you in." ”

Hearing Sun Hou say this, Li Jizhong's face showed a trace of joy that could not be concealed, and the excitement of being trusted and recognized surged in his heart. After all, he was a veteran of the army for many years, although he was excited in his heart, Li Jizhong came back to his senses in an instant, and said to Sun Hou with a fist: "Thank you, little brother, please." ”

Sun Hou has long been accustomed to this kind of respect, and he knows very well why Li Jizhong respects himself, so his expression did not change at all, and he said lightly: "General Li is polite, please." ”

Walking into the handsome tent, Chu Haoyu sat on the main seat with a solemn face, and a man in gray stood solemnly in the center of the big tent, telling Chu Haoyu something. "Lord Wang, after receiving the news of the disappearance of General Zhang Baiyang, the Lord of Wanduo ordered Huainanwei to search for General Zhang's whereabouts and the news of the Heavenly Thorn Traitor, and finally found out that General Zhang's disappearance was related to Yu Tujiang, the first guard of Jiangdu. The governor committed suicide, and the commander of the capital made the matter very important, so the lord of Wan Duo ordered Yu Tujiang to be arrested, and under severe torture, it was found that General Zhang's disappearance was related to the deputy general Wei Jiangtao, and General Zhang was missing, so that Wei Jiangtao could lead the army to Qi'an to quell the rebellion, and Wei Jiangtao was actually a thief and a thief. ”

When the words of the gray-clothed man fell, Chu Haoyu's face turned cold, and a cold light suddenly flashed in his eyes, and Li Jizhong heard that Wei Jiangtao was a heavenly thorn thief and the culprit of all this, and there was a shock on his face that could not be concealed. Liu Jizhong knew Wei Jiangtao and had a lot of dealings, and he was righteous and bold, but in the blink of an eye, he became a thief who rebelled against the thief and brought disaster to the country and the people, and Liu Jizhong couldn't react for a while.

Although he was annoyed, Chu Haoyu calmed down between breaths, and asked in a deep voice: "When did Wei Jiangtao lead the army and how many soldiers and horses did he bring?" ”

The man in gray immediately replied: "Back to the prince, it has been seven days, since I got the news of the Qi'an civil uprising, Wei Jiangtao took the initiative to ask Ying to lead the troops to quell the rebellion, most of the governors were self-defeating, and the commanders were missing, Lu Changshi and the forbidden army General Cao discussed, he agreed to Wei Jiangtao's request, led three thousand troops to Qi'an to quell the rebellion, and now it should be rushed to Qi'an." ”

Suddenly, there were two cold lights in Chu Haoyu's eyes, and this time there was an undisguised murderous aura. Wei Jiangtao led 3,000 soldiers to the battle, and I don't know how many of these 3,000 soldiers can survive? Thinking of this, Chu Haoyu felt a burst of uncontrollable anger in his heart, and shouted in a deep voice: "Pass on the king's decree, immediately raid Wei Jiangtao's mansion and search carefully." ”

Sun Hou heard the anger of his master, and immediately bowed: "The little one has an order, and this will send a message to Huainan Dao." ”

When Sun Hou left, Chu Haoyu looked at the man in gray and said, "Is there any news from Qi An?" There was no rumor of such a large-scale civil uprising in such a short period of time? ”

The man in gray seemed to guess that the lord in front of him had such a question, and there was a trace of embarrassment on his solemn face, but he could only open his mouth and answer: "Back to the prince, the Qi'an civil rebellion originated from the killing of Zhang Anliang in Muar County, and the lord of Wanru has dispatched good hands to investigate the cause of Zhang Anliang's death. ”

"Suva Sect?" muttered to himself, but Chu Haoyu stared straight at the man in gray, wanting to hear his explanation. Under Chu Haoyu's gaze, the man in gray opened his mouth and replied: "Lord Wang, the Suo Po Sect has a history of nearly a hundred years in Qi'an, and there are many believers. ”

Chu Haoyu didn't speak immediately, thought for a moment and opened his mouth to ask, "It's only in Qi'an, not anywhere else?" ”

Facing Chu Haoyu's eyes that seemed to be able to see through people's hearts, the man in gray didn't dare to lie, and said with a little embarrassment: "There are all Huainan Dao, but there are not as many believers as there are in Qi'an County. After the Qi'an Rebellion, the Lord of Wan Helm has ordered all counties to divide their rudders to search for the Supo cultists. ”

After glaring at the man in gray for a moment, Chu Haoyu said in a deep voice: "Go back and tell Wan Nanshan, if you can't find out the Suo Po Sect, go back to Beijing to receive the punishment yourself!" ”

In Chu Haoyu's cold voice, the gray-clothed man felt a chill in his heart, but he immediately bowed down and said, "The little one has an order, and he will tell the Lord of Ten Thousand Helms." ”

Seeing the man in gray leaving, Chu Haoyu pondered for a moment and turned his head to look at Li Jizhong, and said in a deep voice: "General Liu heard it?" ”

Not daring to hesitate, Liu Jizhong immediately bowed down and replied: "The last general has heard clearly, Wei Jiangtao's guy turned out to be a chaotic minister and thief, and he really deserves to be killed!" When they meet on the battlefield, the final general will take his head. ”

Chu Haoyu shook his head lightly, his face showed a trace of fatigue, and said: "Wei Jiangtao led three thousand troops to quell the rebellion, this king is worried about the safety of these three thousand soldiers, this matter cannot be delayed, and he must rush to Qi'an as soon as possible." ”

Looking up at the Seventh Prince Chu Haoyu, Liu Jizhong had a hint of surprise on his face, but he hugged his fists and said, "Lord Wang, no." All kinds of news are on the surface, the Qi'an civil change is not accidental, but it is carefully planned by the rebellious ministers and thieves, and it is extraordinary to think about it, the prince's status is noble, and he must not be in danger. At the end of the words, Liu Jizhong knelt down on one knee and said in a deep voice: "I hope the prince will think twice!" ”

Chu Haoyu shook his head and said, "The lives of the three thousand soldiers are in danger, how can this king sit idly by?" This matter needs no further discussion. General Liu, these 3,000 men and horses will be handed over to you, and on the 10th, you must rush to Qi'an. ”

Although he still wanted to say something, but seeing Chu Haoyu's determined face, Liu Jizhong could only clench his fists and say: "The last general will be ordered, and he will rush to Qi'an within ten days." After a pause at this, Liu Jizhong said again: "The prince's trip is dangerous, please be careful." ”

Nodding, Chu Haoyu opened his mouth and said, "This king has his own measure, Qi An will meet again." At the end of the words, Chu Haoyu walked out of the camp tent and led the guards to beat their horses and leave.

Although the scale of the Qi'an civil rebellion was large, it was also flourishing, but in the face of the defeat of the imperial army, the 3,000 army led by Wei Jiangtao almost reached the Qi'an Mansion without any obstacles. In the early morning, after a night's rest, the soldiers were in good spirits, lined up in formation and forced to Qi'an Mansion, the bright swords shining in the sun, just like the fighting spirit in the hearts of the soldiers.

The passionate footsteps were neat and consistent, and it sounded shocking, and many generals who watched it laughed, and the main general Wei Jiangtao showed a smug smile on his face, but no matter how he looked at it, it was a little weird. Wei Jiangtao looks dignified and burly, wearing silver chain armor and looks quite powerful, but who would have thought that he was a spy planted by the Heavenly Thorn? has endured for decades and has become a partial general from the fourth grade, and is about to give Da Chu the most ferocious knife.

"Urgent, urgent!" In the hurried call, a horse galloped over, and finally stopped in front of Wei Jiangtao and other generals, turned over and dismounted, knelt down and bowed: "General Qiqi, Qi'an Mansion has sent troops." ”

"Revisit." replied disappreciatively, Wei Jiangtao smiled at the generals beside him: "Everyone, did you hear that?" Qi'an Mansion sent troops. Hmph, a group of Diao people also want to shake my big Chu iron hoof, and they can't do it for themselves. ”

At this moment, a general beside Wei Jiangtao echoed: "General, isn't this right?" If they cower within the city walls, we will have to work hard, and now, it is just the right time to break the enemy army and raise our might. ”

"Yes." Another general opened his mouth, and clasped his fists at Wei Jiangtao and said, "General, the cavalry battalion is invited to fight." ”

The elite of the Xiao cavalry battalion in Huainan Lieutenant is the elite selected from tens of thousands of troops and most of them have been baptized, and the armor, weapons, and war horses used are also the best, and they are the sharpest spears of Huainan Lieutenant.

Before Wei Jiangtao could answer, another general bowed and said, "General, the hussar battalion is invited to fight." ”

Waving his hand to stop the generals from speaking again, Wei Jiangtao laughed and said: "You have the heart to serve the country, and the general will be very pleased, and when the rebels of Qi'an are broken, they will be sent to the court to ask for credit." After a pause at this, the smile on Wei Jiangtao's face dissipated, and he shouted in a deep voice: "The generals listen to the order." Dongfeng, you lead 500 cavalry battalions to attack the left flank, Shuangbo, you lead 500 hussar battalions to attack the left flank. Huang Wei, give you 1,500 men and horses, and hit it head-on. ”

As soon as Wei Jiangtao's words fell, all the generals bowed in unison: "The last general will be ordered!" ”

Nodding, Wei Jiangtao glanced at the generals with cold eyes, and shouted loudly: "Everyone, the nonsense will not be said anymore, and when this battle is over, the general will be drunk with you." At the end of the words, a strange light appeared in Wei Jiangtao's eyes, but all the generals lost their eyes in excitement and never noticed Wei Jiangtao's abnormality at all, and they all beat their horses and left.

Seeing the crowd leaving, Wei Jiangtao's face immediately turned cold, looking so cold, he rushed to a soldier beside him and asked, "Are you ready?" ”

The soldier immediately replied: "General, it has been prepared for a long time. ”

Nodding, Wei Jiangtao said in a deep voice: "Do according to the plan, go ahead." Beat the drums of war. In Wei Jiangtao's passionate shouting, some soldiers beat the big red cowhide drum, and the sound of dong dong shocked the heart.

This was the clarion call for the attack, and suddenly, more than 1,000 soldiers of the Xiao Cavalry Battalion and the Hussar Battalion, who had long been excited, immediately beat their horses and galloped wildly, brandishing their swords and rushing towards the ragtag army under the city of Qi'an. At the same time, 1,500 soldiers of the Chinese army stepped on the beat of the drums, and once the cavalry on the left and right rushed the enemy's formation, they had to raise the sharpest butcher's knives.

Facing the great Chu iron hooves that were in full swing, many people who had just picked up their swords felt scared, and there was a trace of confusion in the formation. Most of them were ordinary people, but they were bewitched and some were forced to pick up swords, but now in the face of the long-trained imperial army, how could they not be afraid? But if you stand on a high place and look at it, you can find that there are several groups of people standing firmly among the people, and the cold aura on their bodies is not far behind, and even surpasses it. At this moment, a bearded man standing on the castle tower clearly noticed this, and a cruel smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
