The firewood in ......the fire pit was beeping and bursting, and it was summer, and it was even hotter, but the generals from the state looked at each other, and cold sweat was faintly flowing from everyone's forehead.

Wen Qiao Wen Taizhen fell into the hands of Changshan thieves? Compared to this news, all the hardships and hardships that have been experienced before do not seem to be a big deal.

The reason why everyone traveled thousands of miles from Yecheng to the deserted northern frontier, and why they fought in the war with a weak force and fought in Daijun was all because of the order of Yue Shigong of Bingzhou. This trip is not only to suppress the powerful eastern lords and officials in the Tuoba Xianbei Heaven Sacrifice Ceremony, but also to deal with the possible situation after the Heaven Sacrifice Ceremony. But in Yue Shigong's plan, Lu Yao and the others only played an auxiliary role. The one who really undertook the function of communicating with Tuoba Xianbei's high-level was Changshi Wenqiao, who represented General Pingbei with plenipotentiary.

But now, Wen Qiao, the envoy of Bingzhou, who shouldered the heavy responsibility, and his party were actually kidnapped by Chang Shan thieves on the way...... How is this good to all?

Shao Xu has a good understanding of the forces of the Daijun Dynasty, and he understands things best. Everyone was still shocked, and he was already frowning and saying, "No, no! Why are the thieves so mad? ”

"What do you mean?"

"The master of Huzhai has already analyzed, and the one who is hidden behind the Changshan thief is Duan Xianbei. Although they were ambitious, they were finally given by the imperial court Liaoxi Gong, and they were subordinates of Wang Jun, the assassin of Youzhou. They will not easily clash head-on with the officials and soldiers of the imperial court, and can only use the Changshan bandits as swords to challenge us. Shao Xu looked around and said slowly: "Daijun, the land of projectiles, even if there is a fight in Daijun, it is a trivial matter compared to the northern frontier of thousands of miles. Even if there are dead and wounded, it will not damage the secluded and two-sided town. But if it was the 'wave' to the official envoy appointed by the Yue Shi Gong, it would be different...... Is Murong Longcheng crazy? ”

Shao Xu's words were brief, but Lu Yao could understand it immediately.

The only powerful ones that can influence Daijun are Wang Jun of Youzhou, Liu Kun of Bingzhou, Ding Shao of Jizhou and Tuoba Xianbei on the grassland. At this time, Ding Shao was busy suppressing the Hebei bandits, and Tuoba Xianbei was at a critical moment when the east and west of Tuoba Xianbei were deciding the winner; The battle between Lu Yao's department and the Changshan thieves can be regarded as a wrestling between Yu and the two states in a sense. However, the history of the two states is the pillar of the imperial court, and even if they compete with each other, the behavior of the agent will eventually have its limits. But the behavior of Chang Mountain Thieves who kidnapped Wen Qiao, the envoy of the state, broke through the usual bottom line. A few border thieves, why do you want to hijack the imperial court envoys? This move is not conducive to the interests of Duan Xianbei in the slightest, and it is impossible for it to be instructed by Wang Pengzu.

"Mr. Shao, whether the Changshan thief is crazy or not, you just want to break your head, and you can't figure it out. The current problem is not those at all, but Wen Taizhen fell into the hands of thieves, and his life and death are unknown! ”

Ding Miao stood up with his sword and interrupted Shao Xu's words. He and Wen Qiao both followed Yue Shigong to the old army in Hebei, and they had a friendship with each other for many years. Knowing that Wen Qiao was in trouble, he was in a big 'mess', how could he have the patience to listen to Shao Xu's slow analysis.

In the past, during the Battle of the River Bridge, Liu Kun defeated Liu Qiao's 50,000 male soldiers with 800 cavalry, and Ding Miao was the blade of 800 cavalry; During the Jinyang War, he broke into the city of Jiexiu to help in the battle, broke the camp several times, killed countless Xiongnu kings and generals, and the prestige shook the state. In the past few days of fighting, Ding Miao is still often the vanguard to break the enemy, majestic in all directions, and the enemies killed by his own hands are only afraid of more than hundreds. At this moment, he got up angrily, and he was even more murderous.

Lu Yao shook his head and said, "Brother Wen Hao, relax. I can assert that Wen Taizhen must be fine. ”

Ding Miao Huo Ran turned around and said suspiciously: "Oh? TD means ......"

I have to admit that there is no foolproof plan in this world. Although this series of measures in Daijun is the result of Lu Yao's 'fine' planning with Shao Xu, Hu Liuniang and others, the situation has developed unpredictably, and now it seems to be quite different from everyone's original expectations.

After occupying Luochuan, Lu Yao successfully swept away the surrounding local forces, and formed an alliance with Daijun Wuhuan to recruit a large number of strong Huan warriors. Within a few days, his military power and sphere of influence had swelled rapidly, making him full of optimistic expectations. But yesterday, first the scout reported that the Changshan thieves were going east, and then Hu Liuniang came to visit in a hurry, bringing the news that the envoy of the state had been abducted in Feihucheng. Under such a sudden change, how could Lu Yao not be surprised? It took him a lot of time to regain his composure and rethink the situation he was facing. This is one of the reasons why the pre-war military conference was delayed until this time.

By now, Lu Yao has consciously regained his grasp of the purposes and means of the Chang Mountain Thieves. He was about to respond to Ding Miao's question, but when he saw He Yun coming quickly, he said a little breathlessly: "General Qiqi, there is a messenger from Changshan Thief who has come with a war book, and he has now arrived outside the 'gate'. ”

Emissary? Afternoon? Could it be that this Chang Mountain Thief has regarded himself as an equal party to the imperial court, and dares to be so arrogant? Ding Miao forgot about the conversation with Lu Yao for a while, and shouted angrily: "Bring it up!" ”

He Yun looked at Lu Yao, and Lu Yao bowed slightly.

He Yun bowed and retreated. And Shao Xu immediately recruited a few servants to quickly clean up the venue.

A moment later, footsteps sounded unhurriedly, and the messenger of the Chang Mountain Bandits arrived.

The envoy seemed to be younger than Ding Miao, about twenty-four or five years old, very tall, thin and powerful. Maybe it was the dust and dust of the long march, and his appearance was not very clear, but Gu Panzhong's eyes were cold and bright, and he was very attentive.

The messenger stopped two feet in front of Lu Yao and bowed down. His movements are soothing and meticulous, and in the eyes of Lu Yao and Ding Miao, who have experienced a hundred battles, they can clearly understand the powerful power contained in their bodies, as if a very vigorous beast such as a cheetah can burst out and hurt people at any time.

There are such characters among the Changshan bandits, but they must not be underestimated.

"I am Lu Yao." Lu Yao said lightly: "What's your name?" What position did he hold under Murong Longcheng's subordinates? ”

The envoy's face turned pale undetectably, obviously he never thought that the Jin people were powerful, and even the real name of the big boss who had been hidden for many years was also found. Hearing Lu Yao's question, he didn't dare to slack off, and arched his hand: "I have long admired the name of General Lu of Bingzhou." I am a small pawn in the Changshan army, and I dare not listen to my name. I came here only to deliver the letter that the big boss 'handed over' to General Lu. ”

As he spoke, he took out a silk silk and presented it to He Yun, who was standing beside him.

He Yun took the silk book and was about to hand it over to Lu Yao. Lu Yao didn't reach out to take it, but glanced up and down the messenger intently. As soon as the envoy raised his head slightly, the fierce eyes of the two instantly 'met', just like the incomparably sharp swords colliding with each other to form a spark. Lu Yao was not prepared for a while, but he was angry. And in the next moment, the envoy lowered his eyebrows and bowed his head, as if the 'exchange' of eyes just now did not exist.

This man is no ordinary soldier! Lu Yao sneered slightly, waved his hand and shook off the silk book to watch.

At this time, someone else made a difficulty: "Your Excellency's skills are not comparable to the vulgar, and you must be a warrior on the battlefield." Why do you hide your head and 'show' your tail so much, call yourself a mere pawn, and make people laugh in plain water! The person who spoke stood with his hands on his shoulders, arrogant, it was Liu Yao. He is also a brave general, so he can naturally feel the extraordinaryness of this messenger.

"I've only learned a few tricks, so I don't have any skills to speak of. Such a civil and military all-round talent as General Liu Yao, he led a strong man to fall into the front and win the reputation of Guanzhang in the township...... That's amazing. The messenger politely thanked him.

Lu Yao was able to understand the details of the Changshan thieves, all because of Hu Liuniang's old 'friends', old friends, companions, and the like all over northern Xinjiang. And it was really surprising that this envoy knew so much about the soldiers under Lu Yao's command. It must be known that Liu Yao was newly transferred to Lu Yao's department under Ding Shao, and his original position was only the team leader, and his reputation was not as good as that of Guangping County. Although he has made great achievements in the past few days, he cannot be compared with Ding Miao, Xue Tong and other generals. But the messenger not only recognized Liu Yao, but also casually praised his deeds of protecting his family and fighting thieves in the past, obviously coming prepared.
