Chapter 19: The First Soldier: Shocked
ββ 5ββ>
Looking at the bloodshot eyes of the generals of the Southern Army in the tent, Xie Anxin smiled bitterly. ////
was really said by the woman of the eldest grandson Xiangyu......
These people can indeed be said to have lost their minds......
Taking a slight breath, Xie An raised his hands and appointed the generals of the Southern Army to collect the swords on their bodies.
"Generals, don't get excited, our army rushed here to rescue Lu Gong......" Speaking of this, Xie An frequently glanced at Li Shou and his subordinates, signaling them not to act rashly.
Perhaps because of Xie An's glances, although Su Xin, Zheng Hao and the others turned red, they finally endured it.
"Less nonsense!" Under Li Shou's stunned gaze, Lin Zhen roared, grabbed Xie An's shirt, punched Li Shou in the abdomen, and roared angrily, "Tiger Fu!" Where's the Tiger Talisman?! β
"You ......" Seeing Xie An being beaten, Li Shou was furious in his heart, and shouted angrily, "General Lin, what are you doing?" Is it possible to rebel? β
Lin Zhen's murderous gaze glanced at Li Shou, ignored it, grabbed Xie An's hair, like an enraged beast, and roared angrily, "Hand over the tiger talisman!" β
Poor Xie An, a powerless civil official, could not withstand Lin Zhen's fierce punch, his whole body shrank in pain, gritted his teeth and said, "This official doesn't understand...... General, what is this doing! β
"Don't understand?" Grabbing Xie An's hair, Lin Zhen glanced at Yan Kai and Chen Gang, and scolded angrily, "Our Southern Army has always been in the same breath as your Eastern Army, and I would never have imagined it. It's all your Eastern Army behind the scenes, isn't it?! ββYou are the husband of Liangqiu Dance, how can you not know the specifics? Hand over the Tiger Talisman or ......"
Yan Kai and Chen Gang showed a little surprise in their eyes when they heard this, and they frowned and asked, "General Lin." What do you mean? β
"What do you mean?" Lin Zhenhu glared at Yan Kai and the others, and scolded angrily, "Yan Kai, Chen Gang, you two don't pretend to be so innocent to General Ben!" ββββ5ββIsn't > a trick unique to the Liang Qiu family?! Why did that rebel general understand the tricks of your Eastern Army's Liangqiu family?! β
"Fog Flame ......" Yan Kai and Chen Gang glanced at each other. He couldn't hide the shock in his eyes and muttered, "Impossible." It's impossible! β
"Fog ...... Flame? Xie An looked at Lin Zhen, who was as angry as a beast, and frowned and said, "What did General Lin say?" I don't understand? β
"Don't understand? Good, good! Grabbing Xie An in front of the bed, Lin Zhen took a deep breath, forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart, gritted his teeth and said, "Liangqiu family in Donggong Mansion." Inheriting a secret technique from generation to generation, non-Liangqiu family bloodlines cannot be used, when it is used. The strength has increased greatly, whether it is speed and wrist strength, it is far beyond usual. The qi around the body, as if in flames, the title of Liangqiu Dance - 5 - > comes from this, as the husband of Liang Qiu Dance, you don't know? ! β
"......" Xie An opened his mouth, his face full of astonishment.
Fog and flame?
Like being in flames?
Xie An vaguely remembered that when he was chased and killed by the assassins in the dangerous building, Liang Qiu Wu rushed to the rescue halfway, at that time, the angry Liang Qiu Wu was like what Lin Zhen said, and the murderous aura around him was as thick as a burning flame......
Is that -- 5 -- >?
Liang Qiu's unique tricks?
Thinking of this, Xie An turned his head to look at Yan Kai and Chen Gang.
At this time, Yan Kai and Chen Gang, who were holding their necks with sharp blades, were also shocked, and shook their heads again and again and said, "Impossible!" ββThe bloodline of the Liangqiu family is now only left with Liangqiu Gong and my young lady, and there can never be a third party! β
"Then you tell Lin, why does that unknown rebel general know the unique -5-> of your Eastern Army's Liangqiu family?"
Yan Kai and Chen Gang glanced at each other, speechless.
"No wonder the prince will die in battle, no wonder the general Wu Bang will die in battle, it turns out that all this is your Eastern Army behind the ghost!" Angry Lin Zhen lifted Xie An up and slammed him to the ground.
Li Shou was furious when he saw this, and was about to scold angrily, but he saw a Southern soldier swing his fist and hit him in the abdomen, only to grit his teeth and moan in pain.
...... of the Southern Army I've lost my mind!
Zheng Hao and Su Xin glanced at each other, and took advantage of the fact that the southern soldiers who were holding them hostage with their blades were not paying attention, and snatched the blades.
When Yan Kai and Chen Gang saw it, they also knocked the southern soldiers who were holding them to the ground with a punch and grabbed the blade.
Suddenly, the generals of the Southern Army in the tent drew their blades one by one.
"How dare you be presumptuous?!" Le Jun, one of the three generals of the Southern Army, put the blade in his hand on Xie An's neck, threatening the generals of the Western Expeditionary Army.
In an instant, the entire handsome tent was in chaos, and the generals of the Southern Army and the Western Expeditionary Army confronted each other with knives, which had the intention of fighting.
At this moment, Xie An suddenly heard a loud shout.
"Stop!"
Under the vigilant gazes of the generals on both sides in the room, Xie An glanced at Lin Zhen, the general of the Southern Army, who was still clutching his clothes, and said in a deep voice, "General Lin, don't be impatient, do you know that in order to save the Southern Army, our army has been hurrying for several days, but I don't want to be treated like this......
A trace of guilt flashed in Lin Zhen's eyes, he took a deep breath, and said in a deep voice, "General Ben doesn't want to embarrass you, hand over the tiger talisman, Lin will spare you from dying, otherwise, ...... Don't blame Lin for being unkind! β
Looking at the almost crazy look in Lin Zhen's eyes, Xie An let out a long breath and said unhurriedly, "General Lin, do you know that you are guilty of the following crimes!" β
"Don't talk nonsense, where is the tiger talisman?"
"This official knows that the whole of your southern army is avenging the prince and avenging the Duke of Lu, but don't come to this official without reminding General Lin, even if the official hands over the tiger talisman to General Lin, the Western Expeditionary Army will not listen to General Lin's dispatch!"
"What did you say?"
"Does the general know that of the 110,000 troops led by this officer, 70,000 of them are the original rebels, and General Lin thinks that he can command them with just one tiger talisman? Hum! Even, even the 40,000 Western Expeditionary Army, General Lin couldn't dispatch it! β
"Seventy thousand...... Rebels? Lin Zhen's eyes. Faintly revealing a bit of different color.
"Taking a step back, even if General Lin can dispatch the 40,000 Western Expeditionary Army, so what? With only 40,000 troops from the west, can you conquer Hangu Pass? Don't forget, the commander this time is His Royal Highness Li Shou! You wait to seize the military power of His Royal Highness Li Shou. What a heinous sin! No matter what the victory or defeat is, you and the other southern army will inevitably be dealt with by the law of the country! β
"So what?" Lin Zhen glanced at Xie An with a sneer, and said word by word, "The eldest husband has something to do and something not to do." The whole army of our southern army wants to avenge the son of the world and the old man. Even if it is falsely accused of rebellion, it will not hesitate! β
Looking at Lin Zhen's resolute gaze, Xie An was speechless, although he had already known that although the four towns were only dispatched by the Great Zhou Dynasty, in private, they seemed to be private soldiers of various countries, and now when he heard Lin Zhen's words, this feeling was particularly profound.
Come to think of it. Xie An said in a deep voice, "If General Lin really wants to avenge the prince, then. Just listen to the official? β
"Why?"
"With the bloodless blade of this officer and soldier, I took the valley city! And said that as many as 70,000 rebels were surrendered! β
"......" Lin Zhen heard this, a trace of shock flashed in his eyes, and he subconsciously looked at Wei Yun. Wei Yun nodded and said, "This is indeed the case!" β
Glancing at Xie An, the anger on Lin Zhen's face gradually put away, hesitated, and said in a deep voice, "General Ben can't trust your Eastern Army, hand over the Tiger Talisman!" - Otherwise, you won't be able to leave the camp! Having said that, he still let go of his right hand that grabbed Xie An's shirt.
Looking at the scene of the confrontation between the two sides in the tent, Xie Anxin secretly smiled bitterly, and just as he was thinking about how to convince Lin Zhen and the generals of the Southern Army in the tent, suddenly, Lu Gong on the bed let out a painful moan.
"Lu Gong?"
"Grandpa?"
Compared with Xie An's exclamation, the generals of the Southern Army in the tent were one step faster, and hurriedly gathered around the bed of Lu Song, the Duke of Nanguo, looking at Lu Song who was gradually waking up, with a little joy on his face.
"What...... So noisy? Ahem! On the bed, Nanguo Gong Lu Song said in a weak voice.
Seeing this, Xie An hurriedly shouted loudly, "Gong Lu, do you remember the kid Xie An?" β
"Thank you...... Quiet? Xiao An? You...... Ahem, where are you? β
Seeing that Lu Song still remembered this, Xie Anxin was overjoyed, and under the somewhat bewildered gaze of the generals of the Southern Army, he walked to the bed in a few steps.
I saw Lu Song on the bed slowly open his eyes, with a slight smile, and said slowly, "This place is dangerous, Xiao An, how did you get there...... Ahem, here it is? β
Xie An hugged his fists and said respectfully, "Your Majesty ordered His Royal Highness Li Shou to be the general of Anping, and ordered the boy to be the general, leading the post of supervising the army, and rushed to Hangu Pass to quell the rebellion......"
"Hu ...... Monkey business! Ahem......" Lu Song coughed a few times, shook his head and said, "You have no experience in leading troops, why do you want to wade through this muddy water?" As he spoke, with the help of the generals of the Southern Army, he sat up from the bed, leaned on one end of the bed, and raised his right hand tremblingly.
Xie An was shocked to find that there was a shocking blood scab on Lu Song's wrist.
"Lu Gong, you ......"
Perhaps guessing what Xie An'an was thinking, a trace of pain flashed in Lin Zhen's eyes, and he said in a low voice, "Grandpa, I was picked off by that rebel general, and I broke my hands and tendons......"
Xie An's face changed slightly when he heard this, and he looked at Lu Song in disbelief.
Lu Song smiled bitterly, shook his head and said, "The skills are not as good as others, and I can't complain about others......"
The generals of the Western Expeditionary Army in the tent looked at each other when they heard this.
You must know that Lu Song was a fierce general who accompanied the Great Zhou Tianzi to conquer the Southern Tang Dynasty thirty years ago, and within half a month, he connected the eleven cities of the Southern Tang Dynasty, although the results were not as brilliant as the Eastern Army, but he was also a well-known general who was good at fighting.
How miserable?
"Who is that rebel?" Holding Lu Song's trembling hands, Xie An asked in surprise.
Lu Song let out a long sigh when he heard this, looked back left and right and said, "Go out, the old man has something to say to His Royal Highness Shou and Master Xie alone...... Lin Zhen stayed! - Well, Yan Kai and Chen Gang, the two deputy generals, stay too! When he said this, he obviously noticed Yan Kai and Chen Gang, who were holding swords.
"Grandpa?"
"All out! Ahem......"
"No!"
"Don't embarrass the soldiers of the Western Expeditionary Army, otherwise, they will be severely punished and will not be ......"
"Yes!"
Seeing this, Zheng Hao and Su Xin glanced at Xie An, saw him with his eyes, nodded, and put away his blades. Exit off-the-books.
"Lu Guogong ......" Li Shou stepped forward and arched his hand to Lu Song on the bed, looking at the famous fierce general thirty years ago, but now he has fallen into such a field, Li Shou sighed in his heart.
"Your Highness...... Ahem, it is difficult for the old man to get up and salute. Your Highness, don't be surprised......"
"Where, where ......" Li Shou waved his hand again and again.
Glancing around at Xie An, Li Shou and the others who were standing on the side of the bed, Lu Song took a deep breath, continued Xie An's question, and said in a deep voice. "The rebel general who killed Xiao'er, the old man has found out his identity...... Ahem, this person. He is a member of the Liangqiu family of the Eastern Army! β
"It can't be!" The short-tempered Chen Gang subconsciously said, "The bloodline of the Liangqiu family, there are only the old Liangqiu Gong and the young lady left, how can there be a third party?" β
Lin Zhen was furious when he heard this, and scolded angrily, "What Vice General Chen said, does this mean that my father-in-law has the intention to frame the Eastern Army?!" β
Glancing at Lu Song's miserable appearance, Chen Gang was speechless.
"Lin Zhen! Don't be rude ......"
"Yes......"
glanced at Chen Gang, who still had a look of disbelief. Lu Song shook his head and said, "How can it be that Vice General Chen doesn't believe it, and the old man doesn't believe it either...... The old man and Bo Xuan have known each other for more than 40 years. I know the bottom of it, if Bo Xuan will harm me, the old man will not believe it. But...... But that rebel general is indeed a person from the Liangqiu family, this person can use - 5 - >, what does this trick mean, Vice General Yan and Vice General Chen, you two should know better than the old man! β
Yan Kai and Chen Gang's faces changed suddenly when they heard this.
Seeing this, Xie An was inexplicable, frowned and said, "Brother Yan, Second Brother Chen, what is this fog flame?" Is it really a trick unique to the Liang Qiu family? β
Chen Gang frowned and was silent, while Yan Kai let out a long sigh, nodded and said, "Uncle, General Fang Cailin is right, this-5-> is indeed a trick unique to the Liangqiu family...... The heir of the Liangqiu family has suffered from a strange disease since birth, with a violent personality and irritability, and once he falls into extreme anger, not only will his strength far exceed that of usual, but even his temperament will change greatly, and he will become murderous and incomprehensible......
"How is that possible?" Xie An was incredulous when he heard this, and said in amazement, "I've known Mai for a few months, but I've never seen anything wrong with her......"
"That's the young lady trying her best to suppress the anger in her heart, well, it should be said that it was the old Liang Qiu Gong who kept warning the young lady and told the young lady to pay attention to controlling her anger...... Although Miss is a woman, Lao Liang Qiugong said that Miss's talent is far above that of Lao Liang Qiugong, and once it gets out of control, the consequences will be unimaginable......"
"That'...... Did the dance get out of control? β
"Hmm!" Yan Kai nodded, and said in a deep voice, "The only time it was completely out of control, was in the battlefield of northern Hebei five years ago, seeing that our soldiers were suffering heavy injuries, Miss could no longer contain the anger in her heart, and she actually killed 100,000 Beirong wolf horsemen alone, and killed the enemy chief Gutu Hachi, not that we didn't want to follow, but we waited...... But we didn't dare to follow each other, for fear that the young lady would be angry and kill us regardless of each other...... In that battle, the young lady killed more than 3,000 enemy soldiers alone, which made the Beirong wolf riders fearful, and they were honored as -5->......"
"One person, in the midst of an army of 100,000? Killed three thousand? And killed the enemy leader? Xie An shook his head in disbelief, although he had been confused earlier by the fact that the more than two thousand Beirong wolf riders were so afraid of the Liangqiu Dance, he could not think of such a thing.
"What does Lu Gong mean...... That unknown rebel general is also a member of the Liangqiu family? Li Shou frowned and asked.
As if guessing what Li Shou was thinking, Lu Song sighed and said, "The old man knows what His Royal Highness wants to say, in fact, the old man also knows that the bloodline of the Liangqiu family, at the moment, only Bo Xuan and Wu are left, but ...... The old man saw with his own eyes that the rebel general, the qi around him was like being in flames, and the only person who could do such an unbelievable thing was the blood of the Liangqiu family......"
"Did Duke Lu fight with this person?" Xie An asked with a frown.
Lu Song let out a long sigh, nodded with a wry smile, and said, "Ah, this person's martial arts are far above the old man...... It's unbelievable, if it weren't for this person seeing that he had killed the old man's only son, so he showed mercy and only broke the old man's hands and tendons, I'm afraid the old man would have been killed by him......" Speaking of this, Lu Song paused, and then said in a deep voice, "Based on the impression this person gives to the old man, this person's martial arts are far more than any of my generals in the Great Zhou......"
"Includes ......"
"Ah, far better than-5-> Li Mao, far better than-5-> Liangqiu dance! -- In front of this person, the old man has no power to resist at all......"
"How is it possible, such a thing ......" everyone in the tent looked at each other.
-- At the same time, Hangu Pass --
In the closed tower, the rebel generals sat on both sides of the table, discussing the more than 100,000 troops that Xie An had arrived.
"Unbelievable, Tang Hao has been sent to lead 40,000 troops to Gucheng to rescue, why did Gucheng still fall?"
"Yes, so far, there has not been any news from Ou Peng and Tang Hao...... Didn't the two of them vote for Zhou Jun? β
"Surrender the Zhou army? What is the difference between surrendering to the Zhou army and seeking death for such a crime of rebellion? β
"But if this is not the case, how could the Zhou army of the Western Expedition not only conquer Gucheng in just one day, but also defeat Tang Hao's 40,000 army? At the moment, I only have 60,000 troops in Hangu Pass......"
Seeing that the main general in the house had a sad face and a lot of discussions, Qin Wei, the master of Hangu Guan, who was sitting on the main seat, slapped the table and stopped the generals.
"That's it! It's just 100,000 Zhou troops, why do you want to shout? - Don't say 100,000, even if it's 200,000, you can't capture my Hangu Pass! β
The generals in the house were shocked when they heard this, and subconsciously turned their heads and looked at the corners of the house.
I saw that in the corner of the room, there was a male rebel general who looked to be in his twenties, sitting in the corner of the wall against the wall, holding a piece of wood in his left hand and a short blade in his right hand.
From beginning to end, he paid no attention to the military meeting that was taking place in the house, as if the meeting that discussed the battle at Hangu Pass was far less important than the wood in his hand.
"Right? General Chen Bei? -- With General Chen Bei sitting in Hangu Pass, how can this pass be lost? The Hangu guard smiled flatteringly at Qin Wei.
......The rebel general who was called Chen Bei raised his head, glanced at the generals seated, nodded slightly, did not answer, and continued to sharpen the wood in his hand with a knife, gradually cutting the piece of wood into the shape of a woman.
