Chapter 225: Ambushed
Although Chu Xuewen is not very old, he has a good brain. Zhilu Dao, this General Yang is a very unreasonable master, and talking to such a person is completely a show of talent and a soldier, and it is unreasonable to say! Since I can't say it, let's not talk about it, bye! So, he didn't mind the weird expressions of his subordinates, so he slipped away directly, leaving the mess to Pang Xiude to clean up.
Seeing that Yang Xuhui was coming, the officer who had originally surrounded Li Mingyuan hurriedly came to report, "General, it was a misunderstanding just now, it was not the demon of the White Lotus Sect, it was a team of generals from the Yumen Hou Mansion!" ”
"People from the Hou Mansion? What do they do? Help search for demons? Yang Xuhui said with a good feeling about himself.
The officer's face turned pale, and he said slowly, "It doesn't seem to be, they said that they were on the orders of the marquis, performing official duties, and then left!" ”
Yang Xuhui shook his head very unhappily, and he was very angry. What is this called, Lao Tzu's precious only son was killed by people, and you Xiahou Yong deliberately sent people to hang in front of me, not to mention the annoyance, and to interfere with my search. It's just excessive.
"General, something is wrong with this! What is the Marquis of Yumen doing when the generals of the mansion come out to hang out? He is also on official duty, and if he is really on official duty, he should send cavalry in the army! There's no need to use your own personal entourage! "Yang Tiansheng is also very panicked now, so he keeps planting false accusations, keeps framing, and all those who have to be suspected, he gives evidence, which gives Yang Xuhui a headache.
Hearing this, Yang Xuhui nodded noncommittally, although he was a little anxious and angry, but his heart was sober. Although he doesn't deal with Xiahou Yong very much. But if someone really said that Xiahou Yong had collusion with the White Lotus Sect. He wouldn't believe it. You must know that in these years, most of the people who joined the White Lotus Sect were poor people who couldn't survive, or scholars who couldn't get along. I haven't seen any high-ranking officials and dignitaries join. On the contrary, it is the most fierce one they are chasing, because the court is not thin on them, and the White Lotus Sect can't get any substantive benefits except for shouting loud slogans!
"Although Xiahou Yong is brave and unscrupulous, he will definitely not be stupid enough to have a relationship with the demon of the White Lotus Sect, otherwise, his rights and status that he has worked so hard to get to today will be gone!" Yang Xuhui said indifferently.
"General. I'm not saying that the Marquis of the Jade Gate will have a connection with the demons of the White Lotus Sect. I just doubt that the demons of the White Lotus Sect will lurk in the Hou Mansion? Do you think, the entire Liangzhou has been taken over by us, and there is still nothing, could it be that these demons really flew with wings? That's impossible. That's why I'm so skeptical! "Yang Tiansheng is not a fool. It makes sense.
"You have a point! But what can we do now? You can't let me take someone to search the Hou Mansion! Yang Xuhui said dissatisfied.
"If necessary. We'd better take a look, otherwise let the murderer of the son get away with it, so how can the son under the nine springs feel at ease? Yang Tiansheng's face was loyal.
Search the Hou Mansion. This proposal made Yang Xuhui dumbfounded. He didn't expect that he would have such a bold guy under his command.
"You're crazy, searching the Hou Mansion is the following crime, that's going to kill your head!" Yang Xuhui couldn't wait to gag this guy's mouth.
"But General, if the demon is really hiding in the Hou Mansion, wouldn't it have a serious safety hazard to the Hou Mansion? We went to search for the sake of Hou Ye's safety! Yang Tiansheng is now anxious to improve his status in Yang Xuhui's heart, so that Yang Xuhui will not find trouble for himself when he settles accounts in the future.
Hearing this, Yang Xuhui was suddenly moved. This excuse is very good, and I can have a good explanation for the upper and smaller, but I am afraid that it will not be so simple to implement.
"I have always been at odds with Xiahou Yong, this is well known, if I take someone to search now, it is really!" The more Yang Xuhui spoke, the quieter his voice became. After living under Xiahou Yong's deterrence for so many years, he still has a certain fear of this top boss.
"I've already thought about this issue for the general, we don't have to use our name to investigate, we can let the people from the government come forward. Let them negotiate with the Hou Mansion, and let's take the troops in to search. In this way, not only did not offend the Hou Ye, but also successfully investigated the Hou Mansion, wouldn't it be the best of both worlds? Yang Tiansheng said sycophantly.
Yang Xuhui smiled and smiled with satisfaction.
"Okay, good, I can't think of it, Tiansheng, it turns out that you are not only good at kung fu, but also very capable of turning your brain!" Yang Xuhui expressed great satisfaction with this suggestion.
"General Xie's praise, in fact, the general teaches well on weekdays!" Yang Tiansheng slapped a painless sycophant past, which made Yang Xuhui very useful.
"Okay, you take someone to contact the county government, and let them send a few officials to take the lead for us!" Yang Xuhui hurriedly commanded.
By the time Pang Xiude was escorted to Xiahou Yong's side by a group of wolf-like soldiers, the whole person was already stupid. What are you kidding, go to the Hou Mansion to search, is this General Yang having a head cramp. What's the difference between doing this and extracting a tooth from the tiger's mouth?
"General, do you think about it again, is it too reckless to do this, I think we can say hello to Lord Hou first! Look at him old man agrees or disagrees! Pang Xiude stammered in a cold sweat.
"What's the? We are also doing this for the safety of the Hou Mansion, and it is too late for Hou Ye to be grateful! Yang Tiansheng was too lazy to listen to this guy's chirping here, so he directly led people to press Pang Xiude and the officials and went to the Hou Mansion, without asking if they were willing or not.
At this time, the officers who had stopped Li Mingyuan and the others before also felt that something was wrong. As soon as he recalled, he felt that there were a few people in that cavalry who seemed to be very special, not quite the same as most of the generals. immediately asked Yang Xuhui for instructions, and wanted to take someone to catch up and have a look. Yang Xuhui, who was on the rise, didn't think about it, so he agreed.
The search team was divided into two roads, pursuing Li Mingyuan vigorously all the way, and going to the Hou Mansion in fear all the way. The county town, which had been noisy for a long time, finally quieted down.
"Brother Li, do you think we can still be as lucky as yesterday this time?" Gao Zhiming was a little weak-hearted.
"Yes, what can't I do, with me, everything is possible!" Li Mingyuan said confidently. He was already thinking of measures in his mind. Stabilize that idiot of Toth first, and then fool Atilu that the money and food are being raised, and he should be able to fool him.
"General Yang, let's see if we think about it again!" Pang Xiude slowly took Yang Xuhui and the others to the Hou Mansion, looking at the guards guarding the Hou Mansion, he really couldn't move his legs!
Yang Xuhui, who was already ready to give it a go, of course would not stop there, and directly asked his subordinates to press Pang Xiude to the gate of the Hou Mansion.
"Stop, what are you doing?" The guards of the Hou Mansion had long noticed this group of people, but when they saw that the other party was wearing military uniforms and official uniforms, they didn't know what the way was coming.
"Everyone. I'm the county lieutenant Pang Xiude. Because there was a disturbance in the city yesterday by the demons of the White Lotus Sect, I was ordered by the official to search the city for a few days, and now only this Hou Mansion has not been searched, so I ask you to make it convenient. Let's go in and search! Pang Xiude turned his heart sideways. Stammered.
The guards guarding the door were dumbfounded. What kind of joke is this, search the Hou Mansion, are the people in this official mansion rusty?
"What demon is not a demon? See clearly. This is the Yumen Marquis Mansion, not just search for what you want! Get out of here! "What about the seven-rank official in front of the prime minister? Of course, the momentum of the guards guarding the Hou Mansion could not be weak, and they directly glared at Pang Xiude and rejected him.
Being stared at by others, Pang Xiude suddenly felt weak and didn't dare to squeak anymore, but Yang Xuhui on the side stepped forward angrily and pushed the guard away, "I am Yang Xuhui, Hou Ye is the Hou Ye of our Tiger Army, we want to be for his safety, if anyone dares to stop again, I will punish him!" After speaking, he asked his subordinates to suppress all the guards and directly led people to break in.
The guards followed Xiahou Yong's old team when he was still a general, and after so many years, they had never experienced such a thing. They were a little caught off guard for a while, and by the time they reacted, Yang Xuhui had already led people to rush in directly.
"Stop them!" The guards were not stupid, and they hugged a few soldiers as they called for reinforcements from the house. But most of the family in the house will be taken away by Li Mingyuan, and the number of people will fall down. And everyone didn't dare to use knives in this matter, Yang Xuhui's subordinates blocked one by one, and they just surrounded a group of guards, unable to move.
Xiahou Yong was not in the house, Yang Xuhui had no scruples, and directly led people to search the house upside down, even the backyard of the old lady and his wife was swept away, everyone in the house was shocked and angry, but there was no reason to talk to these soldiers, Yang Xuhui avoided his wife, and only looked forward to what results could be found.
"General, no!" A lieutenant reported to Yang Xuhui.
"My lord, I've searched it all over, but there's nothing! One of the county officials reported to Pang Xiude with a pale face.
I heard that nothing was found, and several leaders were dumbfounded, so it's a little troublesome!
"General, I'll just say, we have to think twice, you see, you see, how should we deal with each other now?" Pang Xiude was remorseful, he was already a mortal enemy with Li Mingyuan, and if he let the Marquis of Yumen hold a grudge, what good fruit could he eat.
Yang Xuhui shook his hand unhappily and said, "What are you panicking, what are you panicking about." The search has been searched, and if there is no one, it means that the Hou Mansion is very safe, and the Hou Ye can rest assured! ”
"Yes, we're kind too!" Yang Tiansheng also felt a little lost in his heart, it seems that miracles will not happen after all!
"General, since we haven't found it, let's withdraw first, I guess Master Hou will be back soon!" Yang Tiansheng was worried that he and the others would counter-surround Xiahou Yong, which would not be fun.
"Yes, yes, I feel like going back to the camp, going back to the camp!" Yang Xuhui was also frightened at this time, damn, why is he so stupid, he really copied the Hou Mansion! Xiahou Yong, that guy can't fight with me when he comes back!
So, Yang Xuhui and the others, who had found nothing, came quickly and slipped faster, and when Xiahou Yong rushed back, they directly opened the way, leaving behind the destroyed and unseemly Hou Mansion. One can imagine how angry Xiahou Yong would be when he came back.
At this time, Li Mingyuan and others had already traveled more than ten miles out of the city. After walking for half an hour, they can reach the camp of the Huns, although the generals are not very calm, but they are not too afraid, after all, it is not the first time they have done this.
"Brother Li, I always feel that something is not quite right!" After Gao Zhiming looked around, he found that the atmosphere was a little weird.
"What's wrong? What's wrong? Li Mingyuan said lightly.
"You said it wasn't as quiet as it was today when we came here yesterday. It stands to reason that the Hun scouts should have discovered us long ago. Why didn't anyone follow up! No one came to greet them! It wasn't like that yesterday! Gao Zhiming said suspiciously.
Li Mingyuan: "Do you really think of yourself as a VIP?" That's what they meant yesterday, why don't I talk to that Hun Shan Yu and ask him to arrange an army for you to review and review? ”
The family drippeds cold sweat on the ground.
After walking a few steps, Zhang Xin suddenly dismounted and lay on the ground to listen for a while, then got up and said, "Old Gao, there is a horse team of less than 500 people coming in our direction!" ”
Li Mingyuan saw Zhang Xin's professional movements, his jaw dropped, obediently, such a plot seems to have only appeared in TV and movies!
Gao Zhiming also lay on the ground and listened to it when he heard this. Then get on the road. "That's right, listening to the movement, it is estimated that there are about four hundred horses!"
A general was immediately happy, "Lao Gao." You can. The Huns didn't welcome you! ”
Just when everyone was relaxing. Li Mingyuan's heart suddenly tightened inexplicably, and then he said, "No." I'm afraid that this Hun is not the gang from yesterday, brothers, be careful! ”
Although the generals didn't know why Li Mingyuan had become so serious, the order was to be obeyed unconditionally, and everyone immediately unsheathed their swords and became vigilant.
"What's the matter, I'm surprised!" Wang Qi muttered dissatisfiedly, but under Zhang Xin's angry gaze, he obediently shut up.
Listening to the sound of horses' hooves getting closer and closer, Li Mingyuan gently flicked his thumb, and the treasure knife burst out, skillfully drawing the knife out, neatly pulling a few knife flowers, and the horizontal knife as bright as water transformed into a blurred white arc flower in the sunlight. He took a long breath and erected the long knife in front of him, the blade was shiny, and the cloud-like pattern on the knife ninja trembled slightly..., stretched out the thumb of his left hand and flicked the blade "Zheng", and the sound of gold and iron resonating was long and crisp. It is indeed a good knife, even in the later generations, there are few such ...... such divine weapons that have been tempered for thousands of years.
At this moment, a family member who had sent Lu to inquire about the situation rushed back with all his might, and ran and shouted, "It's the people of the Xiongnu Zuoxian Wang's department, it's the enemy, there are about 400 horsemen!" ”
Everyone was dumbfounded, didn't they talk about it yesterday? Why are you coming to kill us today? This Huns are not righteous!
"Brother Li, what should I do?" Gao Zhiming frowned and asked.
"Let's talk about it, is it a fight, or a strategic transfer?" Li Mingyuan threw the question to everyone.
The generals were silent.
"Damn, what's there to think about, fuck, the Huns are also human, I'm afraid of a ball!" Wang Qi was the first to jump out and shout.
The generals looked at each other, and the last one nodded silently.
"Four hundred riders, 2 miles away from here!" The general who sent him out of breath panted.
Li Mingyuan looked around at his subordinates, they were all ready to go, silently waiting for his order, their eyes shining in the sunlight.
"In that case, let's start here! Brothers, we are going to have a big killing, I am the captain of Xuanjie, the eighth grade, presumably I am the highest official in the team, then I will be the conductor, Gao Zhiming will be my deputy commander, the old rules, those who survive go back to drink, drink happily! I'll give you money! Li Mingyuan was also enthusiastic at this moment.
"Are your knives sharpened quickly?" "Fast enough to cut off the heads of 100 Huns!"
"Are your spears sharp enough?" "You can poke the assholes of 100 Huns!"
"Are your bows and arrows calibrated?" "It's accurate, you can shoot the eyes of the Huns 100 paces away!"
"My lord, we're all set! Don't worry, our brothers are ready to cut him! ”
"My lord, isn't it just 400 heads! It's a little more fucking, so let's cut a few more knives! ”
"Your Excellency, give your orders, and the brothers will listen to you!"
All the generals are veterans, they used to have a very glorious record, although now they haven't really killed anyone for a long time, but the blade is always a blade, and it will not rust over time!
Li Mingyuan raised his hand to stop the crowd's excited shouts for battle, after all, the other party is a full 400 cavalry, I am afraid that the problem will not be solved, but it is absolutely impossible to underestimate the enemy!
"Good!" Li Mingyuan nodded with satisfaction, "Let's teach the Huns a good lesson!" ”
The sound of the hooves of the Hun cavalry was already faintly heard in the wind.......
A cry of joy sounded from the Hun cavalry, they had already seen the Han team of less than 100 people in the distance, Han dogs, you can't run now! The leader of the team was Maudun's youngest son, Du Song Baoyu, who had always fought bravely and won the favor of his father. The four hundred Hun iron cavalry were divided into three teams on the left, the center and the right, and as soon as they found the traces of the Han army, Du Song Baojie ordered the whole team to charge, and he seemed to have a good reason to do so: the spies said that the Han army only had a few dozen people, and the formation was sparse, it should not be an elite soldier, and they were caught off guard by a sneak attack, and the four hundred iron cavalry rushed and definitely collapsed, at most it was just a light defeat battle. If you can catch a few officials, it will be even more perfect!
The heavens have eyes, and the glory of victory is to me!
"Warriors, get ready to strike!" Du Songmang's blood boiled rapidly, "Wash your war knives with the blood of the Han dogs!" ”
In response to him was the wild cry of four hundred Hun knights! After a night of ambush in the stars and moon, it is time to harvest!
Du Songmangbao knot made his head hot and salivated for a long time for the great work that was close at hand! He drew his sword from the delicate turquoise-covered scabbard, pointed in the direction of the Han army, and shouted, "Kill!" (To be continued......)
