Chapter Forty-Nine: Escape from Jianghuai
Outside the big tent, the pitch-black ink color rendered the entire sky, and the moon was half-hidden and half-hidden in the stratus clouds, as if the Yiren smiled, hiding his face and covering his lips. Outside the camp tent, the eight gates of the golden lock array, in a circle, stretching for several miles, the flags are scattered, the golden drum is faint, the horse is singing Xiao Xiao, it is fascinating, the camp is strong, blocking all the exits.
Li Xuan said to Zhao Meng: "Mengzi, catch a general and come back." ”
Zhao Meng looked at the Jianghuai army camp outside the tent. It was the fifth watch, which was the darkest time in heaven and earth, and it was also the time when people were most tired. At this time, the Jianghuai army in the large array completely dissolved into the boundless dark night, only a few military lights flickered on and off, like distant stars in the sky, dim and dim, faint and faint fighting sounds, sounding weakly, as if they were making a soft whimper.
Seeing this, Zhao Meng strode away from the big tent. A moment later, a Jianghuai army general Zuo was tied up by Zhao Meng, and Zuo didn't seem to have fully woken up, still sleepy-eyed, and his mouth was blocked by Zhao Meng with a cloth, and he couldn't make any sound.
Li Xuan looked at the Jianghuai general and said softly, "Look at my eyes." ”
Li Xuan's eyes were as clear as lake water, but there were countless whirlpools. The whirlpool attracts people's minds, making people unconsciously want to explore it, see it through, and gradually, Zuo's eyes become godless and hollow, and he loses his consciousness.
Seeing that Jiang Zuo had been controlled by himself, Li Xuan said in a seductive voice: "Do you know how to get out of the Eight Gates Golden Lock Great Array outside the tent? ”
Zhao Meng took out the cloth from Zuo's mouth, and without the slightest hesitation, Zuo said the method of leaving the Eight Golden Lock Array.
After listening, Li Xuan smiled and said to Zhao Meng, "Let him sleep for a while." ”
Zhao Meng hit the back of Jiang Zuo's neck with a hand knife, and Zuo collapsed to the ground softly, and Zhao Meng sealed Jiang Zuo's mouth with a strip of cloth.
Wang Xiongba looked at this scene dumbfounded, stunned.
Li Xuan said to Wang Xiongba: "Let's go." Our people have already informed us of the situation. ”
Wang Xiongba pointed to the Jianghuai army general Zuo who fell to the ground, and said in surprise: "So this is our people?" ”
Li Xuan smiled: "Isn't it? He told us everything we wanted to know. ”
After that, Li Xuan and his entourage took advantage of the night to escape from the camp tent and escape from Danyang City.
A few days later, Li Xuan crossed the Yangtze River and returned to Yueyang, where he met Li Xiaogong, the governor of Jingzhou and the king of Zhaojun.
Seeing Li Xuan, Li Xiaogong asked in surprise, "Why are you back again?" Aren't you supposed to be in Danyang City? ”
Li Xuan replied: "Fu Gongyou is the opposite. ”
"What?" Li Xiaogong stood up suddenly.
"How could he be opposed? When was it reversed? Why is it reversed? Did he not care about the safety of Du Fuwei, who was far away in Chang'an? Lee Hyo-gi asked.
Li Xuan replied: "As soon as I arrived in Danyang, I only saw the left servant of Jiangnan Dao Xingtai shooting Fu Gongyou, but I did not see Wang Xiongdan, the right general of the Jianghuai Army. I was amazed. At night, Wang Xiongdan, the right general of the Jianghuai Army, came to my camp in disguise from Wang Xiongba, the general of Sipin Mingwei, and told me that Wang Xiongdan, the right general of the Jianghuai Army, had been killed by Fu Gongyou, and Fu Gongyou was plotting a rebellion. The next day, my camp was completely surrounded by Fu Gongyou with a large array of eight golden locks. At this time, Fu Gongyou appeared, he admitted that he had indeed killed Wang Xiongdan, and he was also actively preparing for a rebellion, and he wanted to fight with His Majesty the Tang Dynasty. ”
After listening to what Li Xuan said, Li Xiaogong sneered: "What a wolf with ambition, Fu Gongyou, who deceives the world and steals his name, actually wants to compete with His Majesty, and he is also worthy?" ”
Li Xiaogong looked at Li Xuan, he knew that Li Xuan didn't mention how to escape from Danyang City, and he thought that this should involve Li Xuan's **. Thinking that there were 100,000 Danyang elites stationed in Danyang City, and there were eight golden lock arrays outside Li Xuan's camp, it could really be said that there were many organs and layers of dangers, but Li Xuan and his party were able to escape unscathed, and it was incredible to think about it.
Danyang, elite soldiers. That Danyang elite is also a well-known elite soldier in the world, with fierce folk customs and extraordinary bravery. In the Western Han Dynasty, Li Ling, the grandson of "Flying General" Li Guang, led 5,000 Danyang elite soldiers to resist 80,000 Turkic elite cavalry in Junji Mountain, and in the case of no reinforcements, he tried his best to fight to the death, only 400 were left to withdraw to the pass, the commander Li Ling was seriously wounded and captured, and the deputy marshal Han Yannian died in battle. With the courage of the Xiongnu elite cavalry at that time, the Xiongnu who were killed by the elite of 5,000 Danyang lost their courage and decided to retreat several times, and finally found out that Li Ling had no reinforcements, so he dared to attack with all his might at any cost, and 80,000 Xiongnu elite cavalry were killed and wounded 20,000 before they took Junji Mountain. Danyang is elite and good at fighting, and has been famous all over the world since then. During the Three Kingdoms, the "little overlord" Sun Ce succumbed to Yuan Shu, who seized Jianghuai, and Sun Ce was the 3,000 Danyang elite soldiers who borrowed the jade seal of the country as collateral, and began to be invincible, swept Jiangdong, laid the foundation of Jiangdong 81 counties, and laid the foundation of Wu State; When Liu Bei, Emperor Zhaolie of the Shu Han Dynasty, served as the assassin of Xuzhou, he also recruited 3,000 elite soldiers from Danyang as his guards, which was the famous Bai'er elite soldiers during the Three Kingdoms. In the battle of Shu Wu Yiling, Liu Bei was defeated, and after Chen Zhi led hundreds of Bai'er elite soldiers to break off, he relied on these hundreds of people to stop the tens of thousands of Wu troops who were chasing wildly, and the Eastern Wu army killed was terrified, and did not dare to take another step forward. The white-eared elite soldiers are also the foundation for Liu Bei to lay the foundation of the Shu Kingdom. And Li Xuan came out of the nearly 100,000 Danyang elites, thinking about it, Li Xiaogong had to admire Li Xuan's superb means and unparalleled strategy.
The eight golden lock array, according to legend, was created by Sun Bin of a generation of art of war during the Warring States Period, dividing rest, life, injury, Du, Jing, death, shock, and opening the eight gates, this array is only trapped and not attacked, and the enemy is in a desperate situation. According to legend, Sun Bin fought two major battles in his life - the Battle of Guiling and the Battle of Malingdao, besieging hundreds of thousands of Wei elite cavalry led by the famous general Pang Juan, using these eight golden lock arrays. For the first time, Pang Juan and the 80,000 elite cavalry of Wei led by Pang Juan were all captured by Sun Bin, and none of them escaped; The second time, Pang Juan was besieged again, not able to escape, he was extremely sad and angry, committed suicide angrily, led by hundreds of thousands of Wei elite cavalry or was killed or captured, even the then prince of Wei did not escape, was captured by Sun Bin, Qi State has since replaced Wei State, ruling the world and holding Niu Er, as the overlord of one side. This power became famous all over the world. During the Three Kingdoms, Zhuge Liang, the prime minister of Shu and a generation of geniuses, improved this array according to the eight array diagram he created, and the power of this array suddenly increased. For hundreds of years, no matter how famous a general or any elite soldier, once surrounded by this array, no one has ever been able to escape. And now Li Xuan actually walked out of the Eight Gates Golden Lock Great Array set up by the five thousand Danyang elites unscathed, which made Li Xiaogong surprised at the same time, and at the same time, he couldn't help but admire Li Xuan's magical methods.
After listening to what Li Xuan said, Li Xiaogong wrote a letter in a hurry. After that, he handed it to the deputy general Li Feihu and said: "Day and night, fly to report to Your Majesty." ”
"Yes." After Li Feihu took the fold, he galloped towards Chang'an.
