Chapter 486: The Best Battle Book
The second ancestor of the second son, who was scolding outside the door, didn't know that it was Wang Jiehua who was in charge of the door at this time, not Wang Qingyan, I am afraid that their fathers thought so. Of course, if the entire Northwest knew about Xie Shence's disappearance, it is estimated that the person who could issue orders in an orderly manner at this time was Wang Qingyan, and the little Marquis who was said to be like a fairy was probably washing her face with tears.
Xie Shence has always been in front of Wang Qingyan and Wang Jiehua when he was a child, but in fact, the disadvantage, although Xie Shence is indispensable to make concessions, but judging from the fact that Wang Fatzi, Wang Zhong and the gentlemen of Chuzhou City have been repeatedly played by Xie Shence, it is really not so easy to take advantage of Xie Shence.
Wang Jiehua, who is far from strategizing, is able to calm down and maintain his demeanor at this time, but he is also really anxious in his heart.
Before leaving, the senior brother said that Yuwen Yong had a terrifying master, even if he couldn't say it outright, he was worried that Xie Shence might have fallen into his hands, and things would be difficult to do.
However, judging from the news that He Ruoque came back, he was chasing and killing Yuwen Yong, and did not mention the matter of the old Taoist, so there are only two possibilities.
The old Taoist priest captured Xie Shence, and he was in Yu Wenyong's team. The old Taoist priest captured Xie Shence and had already fled alone, and He Ruoque was still kept in the dark.
Wang Jiehua's right eyelid kept jumping, she naturally preferred to believe that it was the first possibility, but she had to prepare for the second possibility, because if she was hunted down with a hostage, she was really sorry for Xie Shence's "grace" of introducing Yuwen Yong as a great enemy.
So in Wang Jiehua's heart, he actually believed that Xie Shence was arrested this time, that is, Yuwen Yong was very scheming to invite you into the urn, and the wisher took the bait.
In other words, thank God for being fooled. Stealing chickens is not the opposite of being bitten by dogs.
So Wang Jiehua was quiet and anxious.
Xie Shence and the old Taoist priest were in a hurry at night, and they didn't have time to think about this, and when the old Taoist priest asked him to rest for half an hour in the early morning, he fell asleep directly.
A flock of birds in the mountains and forests not far away were startled, and the old Taoist priest kicked Xie Shence to wake up and continued to hurry.
The pursuers came up.
Xie Shence was happy. Because this time it is likely that it is really the pursuer of the Jin Kingdom.
In the end, Li Zhenfan could not catch up with Xie Shence in one day, because the mountain and the forest blocked the way, and the advantage of the horses could not be brought into play, but became a burden, and after abandoning the war horse, the speed dropped a lot.
However, even so, the thirty people also shuttled through the forest at a very fast speed, and according to the experience of the old spy, there was no mistake in following all the way, so they were getting closer and closer to the old Taoist priest and Xie Shence.
Li Zhenfan didn't care if someone was following him. Because he is not afraid. What wounded man has a reason to survive under a salvo of thirty light crossbows? Not even the one who can capture the Divine Strategy.
Yes, King Li Yan knew that Xie Shence had been caught.
This does not mean that King Li Yan has obtained information, or that he has just been in the northwest for half a year and can grasp the wind and grass of the border pass of Heishui County with his hands and eyes, just because he is Xie Shence's master.
The guy at the inn told them all about their appearances, and King Li Yan, who watched Xie Shence grow up, naturally felt something, and felt that something was wrong. Let's contact the recent news that Yuwen Yong is going to return to the Yuwen Ministry, with Li Yanwang's understanding of this apprentice, if he knows that Yuwen Yong is definitely not a simple character, he will definitely find an opportunity to kill him.
It is true that the senior brother knows Xie Shence very well, and Wang Ding and Xie Yun know Xie Shence very well, but as teachers or preachers, they don't know as much as King Li Yan. Because King Li Yan taught Xie Shence to practice swords, he can best see Xie Shence's ruthless and ferocious side.
At this point, Lao Shangshu can't bear to polish off Xie Shence's sharpness, and the old Zen master sees through it without saying anything, and after persuading him twice, everything is fate.
King Li Yan knew that Xie Shence, who was as meticulous as a hair, would definitely find out that Yu Wenyong was extraordinary, so he directly affirmed that Xie Shence would be desperate to kill him.
Of course, relying only on these two points, King Li Yan still couldn't be sure that it was Xie Shence. The most fundamental reason why he was glad that he didn't miss it and insisted on galloping through the woods all night despite his exhaustion was because of the half mask.
There were subtle marks on that half of the mask.
Help me, thanks.
Xie is not a thank you, but a surname, so this person is undoubtedly thanking Shence.
It's just that King Li Yan doesn't understand that since he was captured alive, it means that this is a trap.
Why do you want to jump into it when you know it's a trap?
King Li Yan did not know the recent situation of Xie Shence's enemies on all sides of the Northwest Army, on the one hand, because the Fallen Horse Pass was far enough away from the Iron Gate Pass, and on the other hand, King Li Yan himself could not obtain enough information. It can be judged that the person in front may be Xie Shence, but it is just a fluke.
If it weren't for Xie Shence, King Li Yan would have turned a blind eye and not touched the monster that killed several people in a row within a few breaths.
Thirty white scarves rode up, and King Li Yan was full of confidence.
Fifty miles away from King Li Yan and thirty miles away from Xie Shence, there was a team of Xianbei people playing.
The green mountains and green waters, the beautiful warriors, and the Xianbei noble race have absorbed the essence of the previous Central Plains Dynasty to the greatest extent and spared no effort. Although the samurai wore narrow-sleeved quiver robes and riding boots, their clothes were much more relaxed, and those of status even wore gorgeous fringed skirts, stepped barefoot on white woolen blankets, or drunk on the knees of beautiful women, or sang with a lute.
In the distance, there are samurai riding and shooting, using Mei Ji as a bargaining chip, and the person who wins the first prize will be rewarded with a box of fine pearls.
Being an official is nothing more than asking for money and power, and the Xianbei nobles are very good at using power to make money, and they will also use money to generate power. And all of this requires someone under you. With people, as long as they are not too stupid, they will be replaced, and most of them can train their subordinates to be qualified eagle dogs.
Duan Wuyang is a failed aristocrat, a down-and-out aristocrat. His father was beheaded by Xie Shenwei, and his tribe, known as the powerful Duan who controlled the strings of 100,000, was wiped out in one fell swoop under the combined efforts of several parties, and he himself was "pitied by" by Emperor Yan and gave a large area of land to "entrust with heavy tasks" to guard the frontier.
Duan Wuyang knew what Emperor Yan meant. To seal the king of Duan to guard the border is to let him be a watchdog, and use Xilin as a buffer between the northwest, the Yuwen Ministry and his Yan country, the first bird when necessary, and the vanguard in war.
Duan Wuyang knew that he could still gather tens of thousands of cavalry, which was a relatively powerful and powerful force, and had the value of being used by Emperor Yan, so he felt that he was still a character.
On the other hand, however, all sources of his pride had been ruined by two young men, and he had become a lonely ghost without a tribe, a dog under a fence.
In contrast to the vanity of his heart and the cruelty of reality, he is naturally addicted to wine, enjoying spiritual supremacy among alcohol and whipping women.
Guarding the border? Fuck it! Lao Tzu just needs to be happy in time!
Duan Wuyang poured the wine into his mouth, and the bright red liquid flowed down the corners of his mouth, leaving a thrilling mark on his chest, which looked strong but had long since lost its strength.
It's like being disemboweled.
However, Mei Ji, who was rolling on the wool blanket, was very interested, she lay on Duan Wuyang's chest, licked the residual wine clean, and then was pressed down by Duan Wuyang's head, and then there were regular ups and downs.
The slave gently lifted the tent and surrounded a large clearing. In the white circle formed, several beautiful women crawled towards Duan Wuyang, and soon there was a moan.
When the samurai saw this, they became even more frenzied, and the sound of glamour began, and there were fornicators everywhere.
This "feast" lasted until the evening.
Xie Shence looked at the scene on the mountain, and there was no desire in his heart, but he kept feeling sorry for the leg of mutton that was already emitting black smoke.
Niang Xipi, these savages, have been extravagant to the point that even the leg of lamb can be wasted? You must know that Lao Tzu has been running all day and has no chance to eat!
Of course, even if he had time to eat, there was nothing for him to eat. In order to speed up the journey, the old Taoist priest gave up everything that might affect the speed.
Those things were hung from the trees. Xie Shence felt distressed when he thought about it.
"I want me to eat, I want to eat, I want to eat," Xie Shence muttered to himself, and the only organs that he could feel alive now were not his aching legs and feet, but his stomach, which was almost attached to each other as a piece of cake.
Ah, the pie
Thank God for groaning. The old Taoist priest was tired of hearing this, because Xie Shence said that he was also hungry.
No matter how strong his kung fu is, he is not an immortal who has attained the Tao of Bigu, running around for a day and a night, and most of the time he has to take care of Xie Shence, so he is naturally more tired and hungry. Don't forget, he's not young.
The old Taoist priest looked at Xie Shence, who was almost lying on the ground, and said, "When they sleep, let's go down and eat something."
Xie Shence ignored him, he was already dizzy from hunger, and he really didn't have the strength to say anything.
Just when the old Taoist priest thought that Xie Shence would faint from hunger, Xie Shence said, "Hey, you designed to arrest me in advance, right?" β
"Huh?"
Xie Shence simply fainted this time.
The old Taoist priest looked at Xie Shence, who had been running in the woods for a day, and at this time was dressed like a beggar and covered with scratches, and smiled.
This young man, speaking of which, has not screamed bitterly in the past few days, shows how strong he is, how he falls into the hands of the enemy and sees death as if he were at home, how shrewd and cunning, but it makes people feel comfortable.
Although this kind of comfort can make the old Taoist priest relive the past when he was deceived by Xie Yi, it is likely to be the disguise that the Xie family is used to, but when it comes to playing with the heart, Xie Shence is undoubtedly more sincere than Xie Yi.
Who called Xie Shence good-looking? Smile and look more sincere?
It's not that all times look at faces, but there is no shortage of people who look at faces at any time, so the old Taoist priest thought to himself, even if he was deceived, he had to find someone who looked pleasing to the eye, and Xie Shence was more acceptable than Xie Yi.
The old Taoist priest sighed that deceiving people is really a science. Not to mention that the apprentice designed Xie Shence to take the bait, or Xie Shence tried his best to make him not disgusted, which is a topic worth digging into.
Of course, the old Taoist priest will not dig deeply, in the face of the wisdom precipitated by time, in the face of the strength established by absolute power, deception and cunning are all false.
So he meditated quietly and regained his strength.
The pursuers behind him should be led to the opposite side by the trap he arranged, and on the other side, they can't threaten themselves, and if possible, they will have something to do with the remnants of the Duan below.
The old Taoist priest knew that the people below were from the Duan Division, because this direction, this route, was what he came up with. Otherwise, he would have entered the grassland of the Yuwen Department a long time ago.
The old Taoist priest was a person who walked the world in his early years, and he had a certain amount of knowledge in power and strategy, and the situation.
Yuwen Yong was attacked, Xie Shence was captured as a hostage, this pool of water puppets has been muddy, in this case, why not be more muddy?
Fishing in troubled waters is his favorite part of the bridge.
However, when it comes to fishing, there is one person who is a veteran, because she is a fish farmer.
The pale-faced Murong Duan was sixty or seventy steps behind the old Taoist priest, annotating Xie Shence with the residual light of his eyes through the tiny gap between the leaves.
She didn't dare to look at the old Taoist, for fear that the murderous aura in her eyes would startle the snake. At this time, she was also very tired, not only because of the unsuccessful detour to snipe the old Taoist, but also because she guessed that the old Taoist might have run to Duanbu to borrow a knife to kill someone, so she turned back and was almost discovered by the white scarf rider, but also because the wound on her back had scabbed.
The miraculous herbs and miraculous recovery ability allowed Murong Duan to enjoy great pain on the premise of less blood loss.
Because of the scabbed wound, the muscles cannot exert force, otherwise they will crack, and it is easy to leave a scar that cannot be removed for a lifetime, so you can only walk quickly in a stiff posture, which is a great challenge in the woods. And because of the wound on her face, she couldn't even eat.
Women love beauty, otherwise Murong Duan would not have low self-esteem because of flowers on his face, and in the face of possible scars, Murong Duan naturally avoided them, so he suffered a lot.
Bastard, I lost half my life in order to save you, why are you embarrassed to sleep so simply?
Suddenly, Murong Duan found that the old Taoist priest who was meditating was gone, and only Xie Shence was left.
Golden opportunity!
Li Zhenfan was indeed led to the other side.
The captain of the White Turban Cavalry said: "General, they have lost their clues when they have arrived here, and they must have led us away from the previous fork in the road. β
"Subordinates don't track well, they should be punished!"
"It's a punishment." Li Zhenfan said: "However, even if it is not now, the people below are clear enemies and me, don't startle the snake, we will retreat." β
Of course, Li Zhenfan knew that the people below would not be friends, and as for which Xianbei enemy it was, Li Zhenfan didn't know.
Xianbei Li Zhenfan has been on the battlefield, and was once the youngest commander of the Modao Army of the Western Army, Xie Yi's comrade-in-arms, and Jiang Qi's boss, but unfortunately, he has not killed Xianbei people.
Because since Hangu Pass, he has been hidden in the snow, and he has been depressed in Chuzhou with beautiful mountains and rivers for more than 20 years!
Zhuang is hungry for Hulu meat, laughs and thirsts for Hun blood, Yanran in the north, and faces the sea in the east, how magnificent!
Li Zhenfan took a deep breath and slowly retreated.
An old spy riding a white scarf came up and said softly: "General, our back road has been intercepted. β
Li Zhenfan's face was strange.
Could it be that he and the others have already been discovered? Immediately, Li Zhenfan was relieved, since the enemy could lead him astray, then he would definitely be able to lead the Xianbei people up.
Oh, so calculating, so scheming, I actually played with the white scarf riding with my Li in applause.
A faint smile appeared on the corner of Li Zhenfan's mouth.
If you want to play borrowing a knife to kill, you also have to weigh whether the knife is sharp or not!
"Don't retreat, kill it. Remember, the purpose is not to kill people, but to take horses! After defeating the Xianbei savages below, quickly search the battlefield and don't let any suspicious enemies go. β
Without a sound, the White Turban Rider stopped retreating, then crept forward, and only accelerated when it was about to burst out of the woods.
The light crossbow was wound, the flat end of the right hand rested on the left hand, and after taking down several guards, he entered the white felt tent.
The screams of men, the screams of women, the sound of the wine jar breaking, the sound of the silk yarn tearing, all mingled.
"Where did the people come from?"
"Kill them, ah! My eyes"
"Look out for the horses! Don't let them all go horses! β
"Protecting the Prince"
"Get on the horse!" Li Zhenfan shouted, so thirty white scarves rode on their horses, holding light crossbows and attacking the assembled twenty or so horsemen.
The results speak for themselves. It was just two simple volleys, and Duan Wuyang's personal guards, who were not quick enough to react, were killed and wounded.
Duan Wuyang was captured alive.
Later, Li Zhenfan left ten people to guard the prisoners, and the remaining twenty or so horsemen searched the surrounding mountains and forests, making sure to find Xie Shence.
After an hour, it was completely dark, and there was still no gain.
Li Zhenfan walked to the place where Xie Shence was asleep, looking at the messy footprints around him, and the blood stains that had not been completely erased, and frowned.
In the end, it was all about mistakes.
The person who was thought to be seriously injured and no longer a threat actually caught up.
I don't know if it's friend or foe. Li Zhenfan clenched the handle of the chopping horse, and it seemed that the next moment, the chopping horse and the knife with a more slender blade and more exaggerated curves would be unsheathed.
A white scarf rider screamed, and a stone flew towards the faΓ§ade of King Li Yan, who turned his head, and almost at the same time, cut the horse out of the sheath and slapped the stone away.
There was a "snap", it shattered, and another white scarf rider screamed.
When King Li Yan heard this, he slashed his horse with a bright sword in the firelight, and slashed towards the hiding place of the sneak attacker. And before that, there were already two light crossbows speaking towards the darkness.
One bolt was nailed to the trunk of a tree, making a "do" sound, and the other was nowhere to be found.
"Dang!" The chopping horse met a saber, and the saber broke in two, and the chopping horse seemed to have blood stains on it. Li Zhenfan ignored the knife wound on his arm, roared like a tiger, and chased after him.
Several white turban riders around him quickly whistled and followed King Li Yan to chase down. Hearing the whistle, the white turban rider moved quickly, and the number of people guarding the captives became five.
Duan Wuyang, who was surrounded, had an extremely ugly face.
He was captured, and the person who captured him was the ranger white turban cavalry of the Northwest Army of the Jin State, could it be that the Jin State was crazy, and the Northwest Army was crazy? Want to surprise attack the Duan Department while fighting with the Tuoba Tribe, and then start a war with the Yan Kingdom?
Duan Wuyang's face turned from red to white.
If that's the case, he'll be less lucky tonight. Because of the Jinyan War, the first thing to be affected was his Duan Department, and his head as the Duan King was the best declaration of war.
