"...... of the Flame Tiger Princess"

In addition to Xie An, Li Shou and the generals of the Southern Army, the generals in the tent gasped.

Especially Zhang Dong and other generals, you must know that it was precisely because they were afraid that Liang Qiuwu personally led the eastern army to the west, so they took the risk to negotiate with Xie An and chose to surrender, and now listening to what Lin Zhen said, to invite the first female general of the Great Zhou Dynasty to come out, to say that they are not worried in their hearts, it is obviously self-deception.

With all the worries in their hearts, the generals of the second army in the tent were slightly uneasy.

It's no wonder, after all, the reason why they surrendered to Xie An was because Xie An was the confidant of Li Shou, the commander of the Western Expeditionary Army, and had a decisive authority, but the power of that Yanhu Ji Liangqiu Dance was far above this Lord Xie, in case that woman ignored the agreement between their group of generals and Xie An, and insisted on executing them for treason, wouldn't it be a bamboo basket for nothing?

Thinking of this, the generals of the Second Army of the Western Expedition were quite restless.

Looking at the panicked look on their faces, Xie An didn't understand, and hurriedly said to Zhang Dong and the others, "Don't worry, the agreement between this official and the generals will definitely be observed, even if that one is ...... cough, that General Liangqiu led his army here in person, and this official will also come forward for you and others to intercede with her......"

"Hey! General Liang Qiu ...... "Li Shou, who was sitting on the main seat, smiled strangely, and Xie An gritted his teeth angrily.

"Are you sure?" Glancing at Tang Hao and Ou Peng, Zhang Dong clasped his fists and said, "The last general is by no means a daring threat to adults, but the lives of our generals and the whole army." It is all entrusted to the general, if the bamboo basket is empty in the end, we really can't explain it to the soldiers under our command......"

"This official understands!" Xie An nodded with a smile and said, "Rest assured, generals! ”

Looking at Xie An's strange expression, Tang Hao's heart moved. Said tentatively, "Could it be that Lord Xie and that General Liangqiu are acquainted?" ”

"Uh, this ......" Under the expectant gaze of the generals of the Second Army, Xie An raised his hand and twisted a bunch of hair in front of his forehead. He said, "Well, I know, I know, I know......"

"It's very familiar! Quite cooked! Li Shou, who was sitting on the main seat, interjected strangely.

Zhang Dong, Tang Hao and others looked puzzled when they heard this.

Seeing this, Xie An sighed helplessly, with a little embarrassment on his face, and said with some planning. "Well, let's put it this way, General Liangqiu in the mouths of the generals, is ...... It's the ...... of the officials."

The entire tent was silent, and the generals of the Second Army of the Western Expedition looked at Xie An blankly.

"Big ...... My lord, who are you talking about...... It refers to the wife of an adult...... Is it? Looking at Xie An with his mouth wide open, Tang Hao stammered and asked.

"Is there any other explanation?" Xie An said with a wry smile.

"Also, too......" Tang Hao looked embarrassed, smiled self-deprecatingly, and then glanced at Zhang Dong, Ou Peng and the others, looking at their ecstatic looks. It's as if Xie An accidentally picked up a small piece of broken silver when he was downcast in Jijing.

"The famous Yanhu Ji is the wife of the adult?" Li Jing asked Su Xin beside him in a low voice.

"How do I know?" Su Xin, who was also sluggish, pinched his arm when he heard this, and said angrily, and then, as if he had thought of something, he suddenly said, "Speaking of which." In the handsome account of Duke Lu of the Southern Army, General Lin Zhen said that Master Xie was the husband of the Donggong Mansion, and he was too confused at that time to notice it...... I see......"

looked at the generals in the tent with a shocked expression. There was a lot of discussion, Xie Anxin smiled bitterly, to be honest, the reason why he didn't want to mention the name of Liangqiu Dance was here.

The prestige of Yanhu Ji Liangqiu Dance is so strong that few people in the entire Great Zhou do not know her name, which is quite a huge pressure for Xie An as a husband.

Thank you so much! 】

Xie An glared at Li Shou viciously, and the latter smiled, but looking at Xie An's gaze as if he was about to eat people, he still looked away a little weakly.

"Okay, okay, it's not about the war, that's it!" Clapping his hands and stopping the discussion of the generals in the tent, Xie An turned his head to look at Lin Zhen, and asked with a straight face, "General Lin, is this person really so powerful?" Oh, this official has no intention of despising Duke Lu......"

Lin Zhen nodded, after all, he had also heard of the relationship between Xie An and Lu Gong, and besides, Xie An led the army to hurry here this time, in order to rescue Lu Gong, based on these points, he still trusted Xie An.

"What the old man said, the adults also heard it, although the thief's martial arts are sparse, but the arm strength is really amazing, and the speed of the move is also quite fast, especially after casting [fog flame], the old man did not react for a while, so he was poisoned, if this person is really ...... Well, if what the old man said is confirmed, then the only way to do this is to ask General Liang Qiu to come out in person......"

I see......

If that rebel general is really from the Liangqiu family, then only the dance that is also the blood of the Liangqiu family and has mastered the [Wuyan] can deal with that guy, and this is what Lin Zhen wants to express.

Thinking of this, Xie An nodded, and suddenly, as if he had thought of something, he turned his head and asked Tang Hao, "Speaking of which, I still don't know who the thief's surname is, General Tang was in Hangu Pass before, do you know the details of this person?" ”

Tang Hao nodded when he heard this, his expression was a little more respectful than before.

"The rebel general's surname is Chen Mingying, and he is as his name suggests, he has always been silent on weekdays, and he is strangely tight-......"

Chen ...... Suddenly? Silent? Heh, this name is interesting......" Xie An shook his head with a smile and asked again, "Where does this person come from?" ”

"This ......" Tang Hao shook his head and said with an embarrassed face, "My lord, the last general didn't dare to hide it, the last general was once a general of two thousand people in Nanyang, and he was a thief for a while, but as far as the last general knows, this person doesn't seem to be the leading general in my Nanyang area, as for the rest, the last general really doesn't know ......."

Xie An nodded, until now, he didn't think Tang Hao had a reason to hide it.

"How old and what do you look like? Where is the accent? ”

"Hmm......" Tang Hao thought for a moment. He replied, "According to the general's estimate, he is roughly over 20 and under 30 years old, and his appearance is ...... Ordinary, it should be said ordinary, there is nothing commendable. As for the accent, the last general really can't remember, since this person entered the Hangu Pass, he hasn't said anything......"

After talking for a long time, I only know one name. Is it even possible that even the name is fake?

Xie An couldn't cry or laugh, and suddenly, he noticed Tang Hao's hesitant expression, and hurriedly said, "General Tang, has you ever remembered anything?" But it doesn't hurt to say it! ”

"I don't know if it will help the adults...... That Chen Bei is very disgusted with small rooms and dark environments......"

"Huh? What do you mean? Xie An was stunned. His face was full of surprise.

"Once, I waited in a small room on the upper floor of the gate to discuss the military situation, and this person wandered outside the house for a long time, and finally did not set foot in......"

"Huh?"

"On another occasion, after the man had fallen asleep, he accidentally extinguished the candle in the house, and as a result, when the man was awakened, his temperament changed greatly, and he carried a sword and indiscriminately killed all the people he met until he reached the brightly lit Guanlou Hall. Standing by the candlestick with a sword, panting like a cow......"

"......" Xie An opened his mouth in astonishment, and said in surprise, "What does General Tang mean that this person's temperament has changed drastically in a narrow place and in a dark environment?" ”

Tang Hao scratched his head when he heard this. Hesitantly said, "It's not appropriate to use a big change in temperament, but when the last general looked carefully from a distance, he saw this person with a look of fear, and let us call him." He did not respond, and even several generals came forward to talk to him, but he killed him instead, and since that day on, this person has remained in the main hall on the upper floor, and has never left the ......."

"Is the main hall of the closed building completely brightly lit?"

"Huh? How do adults know? ”

“…… Scold! - Go on! Xie An shook his head with a smile.

Boy!

The rebel general who twice blocked the Zhou army of the Western Expedition under the Hangu Pass, and made the Zhou army of the Western Expedition fearful, turned out to be a claustrophobia, which is really getting more and more interesting......

But laughing aside, from Tang Hao's description, Xie An gradually felt that something was not right.

He felt that the rebel general named Chen Bei didn't seem to be a real rebel, not that this person almost washed the entire Guanlou with blood when he was sick, but that this guy didn't seem to have any intention of leaving Hangu Pass and joining the army that counterattacked the Great Zhou.

It stands to reason that since there is such force, why should we insist on staying at Hangu Pass, and wouldn't it be better to follow the counterattack of the large rebel army on Dazhou?

With the unbelievable force of the rebel general Chen Bei, it was not a matter of attacking the city at all, Xie An bet that if this person joined, maybe the rebels would be able to capture the entire Yuzhou before the Great Zhou court reacted half a year ago.

But why, is this person indifferent to such a good situation?

Is there any point in passively defending Hangu Pass?

Isn't offense the best defense?

Or is it ......

[Don't you think that the rebellion in Nanyang, Luoyang, and Chang'an is too coincidental? ] ]

Faintly, Xie An's ears seemed to sound what the eldest grandson Xiangyu said to him and Li Shou on the day the army was launched.

Could it be that, as the woman said, there was really someone behind the scenes, leading this rebellion?

Well, if this person is really a rebel, he should follow the army to counterattack the Great Zhou, instead of being so negative, sitting in Hangu Pass, until the Western Expedition Zhou army attacked under his nose, and then he made a move.

It's like......

It seems that he deliberately wants to consume the troops of the Great Zhou little by little, and gradually drag the army of the Great Zhou to death here......

Looking back, that rebel general named Chen Bei doesn't speak or contact others on weekdays, just wants to hide his identity?

Thinking of this, Xie An frowned, and looked back at Wei Yundao, one of the three generals of the Southern Army, "General Wei, Duke Lu once said that he had a verbal exchange with the rebel general Chen Bei, right?" ”

"Uh...... Be! ”

Xie An's face was shocked when he heard this, and he said urgently, "Right now, Duke Lu can move to my military camp?" ”

The reason why he asked this was because after Gong Lü handed over the tiger talisman to Xie An and Li Shou at that time, he ordered the entire southern army to pull out the camp and merge into the first army of the Western Expedition.

It's not that Xie An and Li Shou were afraid that they would not be able to subdue the strong division of the Southern Army, so they asked Lu Gong to stay, but Lu Gong was too stubborn, saying that he would rather die here than see the Zhou army of the Western Expedition break through Hangu Pass.

Therefore. Xie An had no choice but to ask Lu Gong to move the sickbed to Li Jing and Fei Guo's camp, after all, Li Jing and Fei Guo were a few generals that Xie An regarded as confidants, and besides, the medicine and other materials in the camp were also sufficient.

Therefore, Xie An asked this question.

"Yes, right now. It should not be far from this battalion......"

"Excellent! -- General Lao Wei personally went to ask Lu Gong what kind of accent the rebel general was...... Hurry up! ”

Glancing at Xie An suspiciously, Wei Yun got up and clenched his fists and hurried out of the tent.

looked at Xie An's frowning and thoughtful expression. The main general in the tent looked at each other with a puzzled expression, and even Li Shou was confused, and asked suspiciously, "What's wrong?" What do you notice? ”

Shaking his head, Xie An let out a long breath.

"Right now...... I can't say for sure! ”

In this way, I waited for half an hour. Wei Yun returned to the tent out of breath, and wanted to say this, but when he saw Xie An's eyes, he was stunned, walked a few steps, and whispered in Xie An's ear, "Grandpa Yan, it is suspected that the Jiangnan accent ......"

Xie An was stunned and asked strangely, "Really?" ”

Wei Yun nodded solemnly.

See here. Xie An frowned and lowered his head in thought.

Gangnam accent...... Is it?

In other words, is that Chen Bei from the Jiangnan area?

The people in the Jiangnan area ran to Hangu Pass to help the rebels, which is a bit unreasonable......

Wait, isn't Jiangnan the sphere of influence of the Seventh Prince Li Xian?

Xie An remembered. He once heard Liangqiu Dance say that Li Xian, the seventh prince, had patrolled Jiangnan several times on behalf of the Great Zhou Tianzi to pacify the soldiers and civilians in Jiangnan, so that the virtuous was famous, although there was not a single soldier. However, the black and white roads in Jiangnan are all based on Li Xian's horse.

Could it be that all this is the ghost behind the scenes of His Royal Highness the Prince?

It's not good, it's not good......

Xie An smiled bitterly and sat back in the seat, he thought that this time he led the army to attack the rebels, which was nothing more than an open and secret battle between him and Li Shou and the crown prince Li Wei, but he didn't expect that the black curtain behind his back was getting bigger and deeper, and the spearhead was directly aimed at the seventh prince Li Xian......

But is this good for the Seven Princes?

Hey?

Wait, Gangnam......

The Southern Tang Dynasty, which was destroyed by the Great Zhou Dynasty thirty years ago, seems to be in this area......

Suddenly, four words came to Xie An's mind.

Southern Tang remnants!

Thinking of this, Xie An smiled bitterly.

In his opinion, whether Chen Bei is the person of the Seventh Prince Li Xian or the remnants of the Southern Tang Dynasty, there is no difference, and it is not something that he can deal with at the moment, or he is qualified to be able to come into contact with the shady scenes......

To put it simply, he found himself poking the basket again, and he had once again inadvertently stumbled into someone's scheme.

You must know that at the beginning, Xie An inadvertently ran into the design of the eldest grandson Xiangyu for Liang Qiu Wu, Li Mao, Li Wei and others, so he accidentally had a husband and wife affair with [Yan Hu Ji] Liang Qiu Wu, and thus became a husband and wife, it is undeniable that it was a great matter of good luck, but to say that this kind of unbelievable good luck will always follow him, Xie An said that he didn't believe anything.

But having said that, the current situation does not allow him to back down, otherwise, Li Wei, the crown prince who is far away in Jijing, will not be the first to spare him, in Xie An's opinion, then Li Wei is waiting for him Xie An to make a mistake.

Based on this, Xie An could only lead the army to attack Hangu Pass, but is Hangu Pass so easy to attack?

You must know that there is a peerless fierce general who does not know the origin of Hangu Pass, Lu Fan, the prince of Nangongfu, Wu Bang, the general, and Lu Song, the prince of Nanguo, these three can be said to be rare generals in the Great Zhou, but as a result, the first two were stabbed by Chen Bei and the latter, and Lu Gong, who escaped by luck, was also picked off with his hands and tendons......

Thinking of his small body, Xie An vaguely felt a chill on his back.

He bet that once he led a large army to attack Hangu Pass, that rebel general Chen Bei would repeat his old tricks, and be the first to attack him Xie An, or Li Shou, no matter what, this is not what Xie An wants to see.

If you can't attack or retreat, you can't retreat, I have to say that Xie An is in an embarrassing dilemma.

Hey?

Suddenly, his eyes lit up, his face showed a little joy, and he muttered, "Yes, you can think about it from a different angle, why do you have to be so desperate......

As he spoke, he raised his head, looked back at the generals with strange faces in the tent, and said with a smile, "Okay, today's military discussion, that's the end of it, Zhang Dong, Ou Peng, Tang Hao, the generals of your second army will stay, and the rest of the people will rest in their respective camps!" ”

Is this the end of the military discussion?

Except for the rebel general named Chen Bei, nothing was discussed!

Including the generals of the Southern Army, the generals in the tent looked at each other, and after hesitating for a while, Su Xin, Zheng Hao, Li Jing, Fei Guo and others left with a look of surprise on their faces, and then, the generals of the Southern Army also left, leaving only Zhang Dong, Ou Peng, Tang Hao and other generals of the Second Army.

Under Li Shou's stunned gaze, Xie An slowly stood up, walked to the generals of the Second Army who were slightly at a loss, and said in a deep voice, "General Zhang, General Ou, General Tang, this official intends to hand over the matter of attacking Hangu Pass to you, I don't know if you are willing?" ”

Zhang Dong and the others glanced at each other and nodded in unison.

Although they also knew that storming Hangu Pass would inevitably pay an extremely heavy price, they had to do it in order to wash away the stigma.

Perhaps seeing something from everyone's heavy expressions, Xie An chuckled, waved his hand again and again and said, "No, no, no, the generals have misunderstood, this official does not want the generals to storm Hangu Pass, from tomorrow, this official asks all the generals to lead their own soldiers and soldiers to Hangu Pass for a ......."

None of the people present were stupid, and when they heard this, they were stunned for a moment, and then suddenly realized.

"What do you mean by ......"

"Wenva!" With a chuckle, Xie An lowered his voice and said, "To conquer Hangu Pass, there is not only one way to storm this pass!" -- If it can be said that the soldiers of the defenders at the surrender pass have defected one by one, is this pass not equivalent to what our army has in its pocket? - This is something that only you and the Second Army can do! How is it? ”

Zhang Dong and the others glanced at each other, got up and hugged their fists, and said, "Thanks to the importance of the adult, do we dare not serve?" ”

"Good!" Xie An clasped his fists, beckoned the generals to come over, and commanded in a low voice, only saying that the generals of the second army sometimes looked surprised, sometimes overjoyed, nodded again and again, and remembered it in his heart.

From beginning to end, Li Shou has been listening to him, and at this moment, his mood is like waves.

Boy, you are not satisfied with the surrender of 70,000 rebels, do you still plan to surrender the 60,000 rebels on Hangu Pass?

It's crazy, this kind of thing......

Li Shou shook his head secretly.

What made him feel even more crazy was that he actually had a lot of confidence in Xie An's plan......

Can it really go that smoothly?

Without spending a single soldier, take Hangu Pass!
