Seeing that Yang Guo asked himself and his father to participate in the celebration banquet, Yang Shi was neither easy to refuse, nor to agree directly, thought for a moment, said that he would return to the camp outside the city, report to his father, and then led thousands of men and horses to run outside the west gate.

After Yang Shi led the army to leave, the entire Xiaban City except for the direction of the West Gate, the rest was controlled by the men and horses under the command of Yang Guo, Yang Guo stepped up the search for the remnants of Yang Songnu in the city, and ordered the relevant personnel to prepare a banquet in the Qiuchi Mansion to celebrate this hard-won victory.

In the camp of Yang Jun's army outside the west gate, Yang Jun, the general of Qiu Chi, was inspecting the camp, after a few days of bloody battles, the army under his command suffered heavy losses, nearly a thousand soldiers were killed, and thousands of wounded soldiers were killed.

"Father, I'm back." At this moment, Yang Shi led thousands of men and horses back to the camp.

When Yang Jun heard this, he looked back at his son and said softly, "How is it, is Yang Songnu dead?" ”

Yang Shi shook his head and replied truthfully: "Father, after the city was broken, Yang Songnu led a small number of cronies to escape from the direction of the East Gate, and Yang An led five hundred cavalry out of the city to chase and kill, it is estimated that Yang Songnu will not live long." ”

"Hmm." Yang Jun responded and said softly: "This Yang Songnu still wants to survive, by the way, how is the situation on Yang Guo's side?" ”

Yang Shi replied: "Father, Brother Guo has entered the Qiuchi Mansion, and the city has also been controlled by the army of Hechi City, and tonight, Brother Guo is going to hold a celebration banquet in the Gongfu Mansion and ask my father and the generals to go to the banquet." ”

"Oh. Yang Guo held a celebration banquet and invited his father to the banquet, did you promise him? Yang Jun was taken aback when he heard this, and hurriedly asked.

Yang Shi replied softly: "The child doesn't dare to make his own decisions, he just said that he wants to come back and report to his father, father, do you want to go to the banquet?" After speaking, he looked at his father.

Yang Jun stroked his beard and said with appreciation: "You did the right thing, now, the situation in Qiu Chi is unstable. As a father, he is the commander of the three armies. How could he go to the banquet in person, or not go? ”

Yang Jun's meaning is very clear, he is not going to go to the banquet, after all. At this time, the domestic situation in Qiu Chi was still very unstable. At a time when the power of Yang Songnu was about to be wiped out. Yang Guo and Yang Jun have become substantial opponents, although Yang Guo may not start at the banquet, but the heart of defense is indispensable. Yang Jun was still reluctant to take this risk.

Yang Shi seemed to understand what his father meant, paused, and said softly: "Father is worried, Brother Guo is holding a Hongmen banquet." ”

Yang Jun smiled and replied: "The so-called heart of defense is indispensable, at this juncture, it is better to be a father or not, Shi'er, you go to the banquet on behalf of your father, and your father is sitting at the West Gate, Yang Guo doesn't dare to do anything to you." ”

"Yes, father." Yang Shi responded, and then asked, "If Brother Guo asks, how should the child answer." ”

"Let's just say that my father and puppet feel cold, and if I rest in the big tent, I won't participate in the celebration banquet." Yang Jun said softly.

Yang Shi nodded and said, "Father, don't worry, the child understands." ”

#####

Just when Yang Guo was actively preparing for the celebration banquet, Hu Hou and other six wise men dressed up as beggars, begging around in the city, and inquiring about various situations in the city, so as to complete the important tasks assigned by Hua'an.

At the back door of Qiu Chi Gong's mansion, Hu Hou and several smart people secretly walked in in the way of beggars, and saw the busy crowd inside, from these people carrying plates back and forth, they could already judge that a banquet was going to be held in the mansion, and the banquet must be invited, important people inside and outside the city, Yang Jun outside the west gate, naturally also within the scope of being invited.

Not long after Hu Hou and several wise men entered the Qiu Chi Mansion, they drove out the courtyard in the mansion, but their goal had been achieved.

After some deliberation, Hu Hou and several wise men decided to ambush halfway from the west gate to Qiu Chi Gong's mansion, using six crossbows to shoot the important people who came to the banquet in one fell swoop.

After the discussion, Hu Hou and a few wise men began to look for the most suitable ambush location, so that they could shoot and injure Qiu Chi's important people smoothly, and at the same time, it was also conducive to their own quick evacuation.

######

After dark, Qiu Chi Gong's mansion was decorated with lights, and all kinds of food and drinks needed for the celebration banquet were prepared, and the banquet could be opened only after Yang Guo's order.

In order to show his sincerity, Yang Guo stood at the door of Qiu Chi Gong's mansion and personally greeted the important people from all walks of life who came to participate in the celebration banquet.

At this time, it was already dark, and his son Yang An had not yet returned, and Yang Guo was somewhat anxious.

He looked at the deputy general beside him and said softly: "Is there any news in the direction of the East Gate, why hasn't Yang An come back yet, will there be any accidents?" ”

The adjutant general hugged his fists and comforted: "The general doesn't have to worry, according to reliable information, when Yang Songnu fled from Xiafen City, he only brought a hundred henchmen and cavalry, while the major general had five hundred iron cavalry, there must be no accidents, maybe, this is on the way back?" ”

Seeing that there was some truth in what the adjutant general said, Yang Guo relieved himself, paused, and ordered: "It's not early, you lead a hundred soldiers to the direction of the West Gate to meet the general and other generals." ”

"Yes, the last general will go now." The adjutant general clenched his fists and received the order, and then led a hundred soldiers to the direction of the West Gate.

######

In the direction of the West Gate, Yang Jun saw that it was already dark, and it was estimated that the banquet should be held, so he looked at his son and said softly: "Shi'er, it's not early, you take a few generals to the banquet immediately, don't make the family wait for a long time." ”

Yang Shi hugged his fists and said, "Father, are you really not going?" Also, if only a dozen adjutant generals from each battalion are going, will it seem too rude. ”

"Shi'er, it's not rude for you to go in person, it's not rude to be a father, okay, go quickly!" Yang Jun was very unimpressed, and in order to prevent accidents, he only sent the deputy generals of each battalion to go, and the core generals all stayed outside the West Gate.

"Yes, father." Yang Shi hugged his fists and agreed, and then led more than a dozen deputy generals of each battalion and fifty escort soldiers to ride their horses towards Qiu Chi Gong's mansion.

Since the entire city was controlled by the coalition forces at this time, and the remnants of Yang Songnu's forces had been basically wiped out, Yang Shi did not worry about his own safety, and rode his horse to the front of the team.

After a few days of fierce fighting, the people of the city fled a lot, many of the houses were empty, so they seemed lifeless, and there were no lights on either side of the road, but because of the moonlight, there was a glimmer of light on the road.

Yang Shi's majestic horse walked at the front of the team, but he didn't know that he had fallen into extreme danger, and in the empty houses on both sides of the road, Hu Hou and the other six wise men had already hidden and were ready to hunt Yang Shi.

This is the important task issued by Hua'an, in order to provoke the relationship between Yang Jun and Yang Guo after the dissipation of Yang Songnu's power, Hua'an gave Hu Hou and other smart people, and issued the task of secretly hunting Yang Shi, so as to completely mess up the situation in Qiu Chi and prepare for the next capture of Wudu and Yinping County.

Although Hu Hou and other smart people didn't know Yang Shi, in that era when he wore what kind of clothes he was, Yang Shi's clothes alone could lock his identity.

Seeing that Yang Shi really rode his horse over, Hu Hou and a few smart men looked a little nervous, but the opportunity was rare, and if they missed such a good assassination opportunity, they were afraid that it would be difficult to find it next time.

After Hu Hou made up his mind, he gestured to a few smart people beside him, and a few of them understood, put the crossbow coated with poison on the crossbow, and all aimed at Yang Shi.

Fifty steps, thirty steps, ten steps, Yang Shi and his party were getting closer and closer to the location of the tiger ambush, and the six crossbows were all aimed at Yang Shi at the front.

Hu Hou frowned and looked forward, Yang Shi in front of him was the general who led thousands of soldiers into Qiu Chi Gong's mansion during the day, at that time, Yang Shi had thousands of troops around him, Hu Hou was not sure of the success of the assassination at all, so he gave up the operation, and at this time, on the street with black lights and blind fire, Yang Shi sent it to the door, and there were only fifty guards behind him, and the success rate of the operation would be greatly increased.

"Whoosh......" Hu Hou first shot a crossbow bolt coated with poison, which instantly hit Yang Shi's chest.

"Whoosh...... followed by the remaining five Lumines, all of whom shot crossbow arrows.

It was only a moment's effort, and before Yang Shi could figure out what was going on, several crossbow arrows were inserted into his body, and even the war horse that was sitting down was shot with an arrow.

"Uh......" Yang Shi snorted, and even the man and the horse fell down.

"Assassins, there are assassins, protect the Major General." An adjutant general behind Yang Shi shouted loudly.

"Kill ......" fifty escort soldiers, riding their horses to the location of the tiger waiting for the ambush.

At this time, Tiger Hou had already evacuated, and after shooting a crossbow coated with poison, Tiger Hou took several smart men to escape into the city.

"Major General, Major General, how are you?" Several lieutenants picked up Yang Shi and shouted loudly.

Yang Shi felt pain all over his body, his internal organs were rolling, he endured the pain, and said softly: "Go back, take me back to the camp." ”

"Yes, Major General, we are not going to the banquet, we will return to the camp." The adjutant general agreed, supported Yang Shi on the horse's back, turned the horse's head and walked in the direction of the west gate.

At this moment, Yang Guo's lieutenant led a hundred soldiers to rush over, and when he saw the shouting of killing in front of him, he was taken aback, and hurriedly pulled out his weapon and rushed over with a hundred soldiers.

At the location where Hu Hou had previously ambushed, the 100 soldiers led by Yang Guo's deputy general met with the 50 soldiers under Yang Shi's command in a narrow way, and each of them bumped into each other with their weapons.

Yang Shi had just been shot by a crossbow arrow, and the men and horses of the deputy general of Yang Guo appeared here, it must not be a coincidence! The soldiers under Yang Shi's command all felt that there was a lot of article in this, and Yang Shi's assassination must have a close relationship with Yang Guo. (To be continued......)
