Chapter 432: Go and Return
Qingyang Garrison He Renlong had long wanted to slap his ass and leave.
In the battle of Fengxiang Mansion, He Renlong finally exhausted the last trace of troops in his hands. Today, although he is not as good as the commander of the people's light pole, his state is similar.
Of the more than 1,000 soldiers brought out from the Qingyang garrison camp, less than 30 of them could still follow him with all their beards and tails at this moment, and the rest were all killed in battle.
Liu Zhilun, the governor of Shaanxi, died, Wu Zhiwang, the governor of the three sides, also committed suicide and martyrdom, the reinforcements of the court were nowhere to be seen, Gao Zilin was like a ghost shrouded in the hearts of the generals, He Renlong felt that if he didn't get out as soon as possible, he would fold in Pingliang Mansion as soon as possible.
Therefore, He Renlong took the remaining more than 30 loyal subordinates and rushed out of the city.
However, He Renlong failed to get out of the North City Gate. Because Pingliang City is under full martial law.
The martial law order was given by Dai Feng, deputy commander of Pingliang. After Dai Feng learned that the People's Army had captured Fengxiang Mansion, he ordered martial law in the whole city, and no entry or exit was allowed.
Guarding the north gate was the Liang army's troops, and the Liang army carried out Dai Feng's instructions thoroughly, not only closing the city gate, but also erecting railings to prevent anyone from approaching the city gate.
He Renlong rushed to the gate of Beicheng with more than 30 of his men, and what he saw were two rows of rough wooden railings, as well as Liang soldiers standing behind the railings.
As mentioned earlier, He Renlong only has more than 30 people under his command, and the Liang army guarding the city gate has nearly 100 people, not including the Liang army on the city tower.
It won't work to break through, He Renlong can only patiently reason with Captain Liang who is defending the city.
It is foreseeable that the Qingyang garrison, who is known as the madman, is not a particularly patient person, and he is not good at reasoning with facts. At first, it was kind and reasonable. It soon evolved into a scolding between the two sides, and the north city gate was tense for a while.
He Renlong was so angry that his face was red and his neck was thick. scolded Captain Liang outside the railing, spitting stars flying. scolded all the vicious words that He Renlong could think of, and it seemed that he was about to draw his knife and move roughly.
The captain of the Liang army who defended the city did not talk nonsense, with a wave of his big hand, the soldiers of the Liang army on the side of the city gate formed a defensive formation, and nearly a hundred bows on the city tower aimed at He Renlong and others.
The deterrent effect of the cold light on the arrow is still very strong, and the dragon color of the He people is very strong. scolded dryly, but never dared to really draw a knife against him.
The heart is weak, there are two or three hundred people in the upper and lower cities of Liang Juncheng, and there are only more than thirty people on his side.
Xu Liang and Dai Feng arrived at the right time to stop He Renlong's cursing.
Under the city gate, Xu Liang looked at He Renlong with interest, and asked faintly, "General He." Where are you going? β
When He Renlong saw that the main master had arrived, he didn't hide it at all, he was very single, and replied in a rough voice: "Go back to Qingyang." β
Xu Liang smiled. Said: "The war in Shaanxi has not ended, the people's army has just captured Fengxiang Mansion, and the court is the time to use troops. Who approved General He's return to Qingyang? β
He Renlong squinted at Xu Liang, revealing the disdain that all veteran ruffians have. "No one approved, and the general went back if he wanted to. Hey. Governor Liu is dead, Governor Wu has committed suicide, who can control me? β
Xu Liang said: "There is also Lord Hong, who participates in politics in Shaanxi. β
He Renlong smiled coldly, "Hong can manage the money, grain and taxes, but he can't manage the general's head. He looked at Xu Liang, his face became gloomy, and he said, "What, listen to Lord Xu, Lord Xu Gu will take care of me, the Qingyang garrison general?"
As he spoke, He Renlong touched the handle of the knife with his right hand, looked at Xu Liang with a wary face, and then looked at Dai Feng. He Renlong thinks that his kung fu is not weak, but Dai Feng, the deputy chief soldier of Pingliang, has a simple knife, which makes it quite advantageous. He Renlong's eyes moved over the heads of Xu Liang and Dai Feng, raised his feet and took a few steps back, and faintly stood with more than thirty soldiers behind him.
"Lord Xu, this general respects you and is also a man, I advise you, your family takes care of your own affairs, and if you stretch your hand too long, you will be chopped off." He Renlong said in a deep voice.
Xu Liang stared at He Renlong, his eyes fell on his right hand pressed on the hilt, stayed for a while, suddenly looked up to the sky and snorted, smiled, waved his hand and said, "General He misunderstood." Xu has always respected heroes like General He, and it is too late to admire General He, so how could he deliberately prevent General He from leaving? β
He Renlong's expression moved, and he looked at Xu Liang in surprise.
Xu Liang waved his hand and shouted at the captain guarding the city: "Open the city gate and send General He out of the city." β
The lieutenant carried out Xu Liang's instructions to the letter, and with a tooth-sore creak, the Pingliang North City Gate slowly opened, and the Liang soldiers stepped forward, moved the railing in front of He Renlong and others, and made way for a passage.
Xu Liang made a gesture of invitation to congratulate Renlong.
This is the opening of the city gates?
He Renlong originally thought that Xu Liang came here in a hurry, because he got a report and deliberately ran to prevent him from leaving the city, but he didn't expect Xu Liang to have no intention of making trouble at all, so he was generous, and simply opened the city gate neatly, and let He Renlong and others go out of the city.
This also seems to be too smooth......
He Renlong was shocked, looked at Xu Liang scrutinically, and confirmed again: "Lord Xu, are you really not here to stop General Ben from leaving the city?" β
Xu Liang smiled slightly, gestured again, and said, "General He is too careful!" The gates have been opened, General He, please! β
He Renlong was suspicious, he didn't understand what medicine was sold in Xu Liang's gourd for a while, and looked at Xu Liang again, only to see Xu Liang standing idly, with a harmless warm smile on his face, looking at He Renlong's eyes, it seemed that there was still a little encouragement.
Xu Liang, what the hell does this mean? He Renlong muttered in his heart. Fortunately, He Renlong has never been a master who likes to hesitate, seeing that the main gate of Pingliang North City Gate was wide open, and the soldiers of the Liang Army on both sides stood straight, as if they were sending He Renlong out of Pingliang City.
It doesn't matter, whether it's a blessing or a curse, let's go out of the city first.
He Renlong silently hugged his fist at Xu Liang, waved his big hand, and led more than 30 personal soldiers towards the outside of the city.
He Renlong stepped onto the horse, deliberately controlling the speed of the war horse's walking, neither fast nor slow. Walk through the north gate at a steady pace and head out. Liang soldiers on both sides. With a spear in hand, stand straight. The eyes do not squint, and there is no sign of embarrassment.
Suddenly, Xu Liang beckoned behind him and shouted, "General He, please stay." β
He Renlong's heart froze, he turned his head sharply, looked at Xu Liang, held the knife in his right hand, and maintained the gesture that it could be unsheathed at any time, and asked Sen Ran, "Does Lord Xu have anything to say?" Could it be that Lord Xu wants to regret it? Insist on leaving us waiting? β
Xu Liang still had a warm smile on his face. He Renlong beckoned: "General He, look at it, you misunderstood Xu again." Xu wants to remind you that from Pingliang to Qingyang, the road is not close, and General He is careful on the road. Oh, a pure friendly reminder, General He listened to it. β
He Renlong was stunned, frowned and arched his hand at Xu Liang: "Thank you Lord Xu for reminding me." β
Let's talk about it. He Renlong continued to lead the people to walk outside the city gate.
The north gate of Pingliang is not long, and if you walk up, you can get out of the city in a few minutes. Behind the city gate, Xu Liang and Dai Feng didn't say anything more. On the city tower, rows of Liang soldiers also acted as if nothing had happened, and they seemed to have no interest in He Renlong's departure.
He Renlong took more than 30 men to the north city gate. Behind him, there was silence.
He Renlong walked and walked. I feel more and more that this Xu Liang and the Liang army guarding the city are a little weird today, and the whole city gate is too quiet. It's eerily quiet.
No, there must be something I didn't notice.
He Renlong raised his five views and six senses to the highest level like a hedgehog in danger, and looked back at Xu Liang and Dai Feng again uneasily.
At this time, the north gate was creaking and preparing to close the gate again, and the two heavy gates were slowly closing with a creaking sound.
At this moment, He Renlong suddenly felt the cold hairs on his whole body stand up. Through the thick city gate that gradually closed, He Renlong clearly saw Xu Liang's eyes, which were very plain and easy-going, but they made He Renlong feel creepy.
Xu Liang's eyes when he looked at his group of people were clearly looking at a group of dead people!
His party left Pingliang City safely, and as long as they walked along the official road to Qingyang Mansion for three or four days, they could rush to Qingyang Mansion and their old camp. Pingliang and Qingyang Mansion are adjacent to each other, and there is no war between Pingliang and Qingyang at the moment, even if He Renlong does not have a single soldier by his side, he can return to Qingyang Garrison General's Mansion with all his beards and tails!
Such a safe environment and such a short trip were a piece of cake for He Renlong and his more than 30 brothers.
With such a safe itinerary, why did Xu Liang look at himself so weirdly? Unless, there is a greater danger waiting for you on the road.
He Renlong's face suddenly turned pale, and with a dull sound, a thick simple long handle was inserted between the two doors that were gradually closing, blocking the closing of the two city gates.
"Wait!" He Renlong beckoned and shouted urgently.
β¦β¦
When He Renlong entered Pingliang City again with more than 30 soldiers and stood in front of Xu Liang and Dai Feng, Xu Liang looked at He Renlong's eyes with the taste of exploration.
"Why did you come back again?" Xu Liang lowered his eyelids and asked lightly.
was sent out of the city gate by Xu Liang neatly, and he ran back upside down, no matter how he explained, He Renlong was inevitably embarrassed.
Yes, He Renlong's face flushed, and he explained even more embarrassedly, "I think it seems a little inappropriate to leave the city." β
Xu Liang tilted his head, like a curious baby, opened his eyes to study, and taught He Renlong: "General He, what's wrong?" β
He Renlong rubbed his hands, looked at the front and back, left and right, and then looked at Xu Liang, and said, "Your eyes tell General SΓΉ Ben that you may die if you go out." β
Xu Liang pretended to be extremely regretful and sighed: "It's a pity, this official also wanted to buy a trip for General He's good life, it seems that for a while, General He won't need it." β
When He Renlong heard this, his face couldn't help but turn a little pale, and he asked in a panic, "Lord Xu, what do you mean by this?" In terms of tone alone, He Renlong's words were much friendlier than the cursing before a cup of tea.
The corners of Xu Liang's mouth rose slightly, glanced at Dai Feng, and said lightly: "Actually, it's nothing." It was yesterday that one of the Liang army killed more than ten miles outside the city of Zongpingliang, and dozens of soldiers under him were all wiped out. From the overall wound of the injury, the technique is very similar to that of Gao Zilin, a military division of the People's Army. Xu was worried that Gao Zilin was still outside Pingliang City, so he kindly reminded General He to pay attention to safety. β
The cold sweat on the dragon's head came down.
The People's Army was still cleaning the battlefield in Fengxiang Mansion, and the military advisor Gao Zilin sneaked outside Pingliang City unknowingly?
He Renlong shuddered for no reason.
Gao Zilin's swordsmanship, although He Renlong has not seen it in person, he is very jealous. He Renlong's skills are not as good as He Huchen, the general soldier of Yansui, who is better than martial arts, and He Huchen fought in Fengxiang Mansion and was almost pierced by Gao Zilin's sword.
He Huchen is still like this, how can He Renlong not be afraid.
Suddenly, He Renlong felt a little puzzled again, "Although Gao Zilin is powerful, looking at the battle in Fengxiang Mansion, Gao Zilin will probably not stay away from the people's army. Now that the army of the People's Army is still in Fengxiang Mansion, why can Gao Zilin come here? β
Faced with He Renlong's question, Xu Liang coughed dryly for a while, and he sneered: "This is a long talk." Gao Zilin killed many of our generals, and this official inherited the purpose of returning a tooth for a tooth and blood for blood, and also sent a lot of good hands to assassinate the middle and low-level generals of the people's army! According to yesterday's shape, our people should have killed many minions of the people's army, and it is estimated that Gao Zilin was angry and came to Pingliang City to retaliate in person. β
He Renlong was suddenly in a petrified state, thinking of Gao Zilin's danger, He Renlong was secretly glad that he had not gone far, and turned back immediately when he found that something was wrong.
If you go out rashly and fall into Gao Zilin's sight, with only one or two faces, He Renlong will probably die.
Xu Liang leisurely asked He Renlong again, "How is it, General He, do you decide to go or not?" Give a happy word, it's not early, and it's convenient for our soldiers to lock the city. β
He Renlong wiped his cold sweat and said curtly: "Don't go, I'm sure I won't go." β
Xu Liang suddenly smiled, approached warmly, patted He Renlong's strong shoulder, and grinned: "It's okay not to go." Pingliang City is heavily guarded, unless the city is broken, Gao Zilin will not be able to come in, and General He can rest in peace in the city. β
When He Renlong heard this, his face fell, and he said worriedly: "However, even if we don't die out of the city, if Pingliang City is breached, we will all die." β
"Don't worry, the people's army can't attack it." Xu Liang smiled mysteriously at He Renlong.
"Why is Lord Xu so confident?"
Xu Liang smiled even more mysteriously, and said, "Want to know? Come to my house tonight. This official has a big feast tonight, and General He must appreciate it. β
He Renlong couldn't guess what Xu Liang was thinking about, so he barely squeezed out a smile, bowed his hand to Xu Liang and Dai Feng, led more than 30 personal soldiers, and returned to the Pingliang guerrilla camp dejectedly. (To be continued......)
