Chapter 516: A Night Visit to Cui Hong
Zang Aiqin and Liu Xingnan's mother and daughter have changed the left sentence, and the right sentence You are not the original you, and they hugged each other and cried, Liu Yu was a little angry after throwing out a slap, and he couldn't help but look at his palms in a daze, and he didn't believe that he would slap Liu Xingnan!
But at this time, he suddenly felt more and more irritated in his heart, and he had the urge to shout loudly, and he roared uncontrollably again: "Enough! Cry? I know how to cry, when Gillian was at home, the three women cried together whenever something happened, but now that Gillian is gone, the two of you are still crying, have you cried enough? Don't cry anymore! ”
Zang Aiqin and Liu Xingnan were both shocked, and raised their heads to look at Liu Yu.
Liu Yuyu said angrily: "You keep saying that I have changed, saying that I am unscrupulous in order to achieve my goals, and those who want to achieve great things in ancient times, who is not unscrupulous?" When Emperor Taizu Gao (Liu Bang) was pursued by Xiang Yu, he abandoned his children three times, and Liu Xuande's wife and children were also captured three times, but after they became emperors, who dared to accuse them of this?
In comparison, I have been much better, although I had plans to marry a man, but she didn't want to, did I force her? This time, it's just to get a few things for me, can't you just be wronged for my father? All I asked for was a chance to catch up with General Wei!
What's more, General Wei has never done anything to achieve his goals? I don't believe it! Even if he is a saint, as long as he participates in the game of fighting for the world, the saint must abide by the rules, otherwise he will only kill the whole family!
You say I'm unscrupulous, well, I'll admit it! But what am I doing whatever it takes? Isn't it for the prosperity of my Liu family? Not to take your destiny into your own hands? Am I doing it wrong? No, I'm not wrong! I am worthy of my ancestors of the Liu family. I have a clear conscience! cough cough cough ~~"
Maybe he was too excited, Liu Yu coughed violently, Zhang Que hurriedly put Liu Yifu aside, stepped forward to pick up Liu Yu, patted his back, and threw his blamed eyes on Zang Aiqin and Liu Xingnan's mother and daughter, conveying that they were persuaded to admit their mistakes and live in harmony with the family from now on.
Zang Aiqin looked at Liu Yu directly, with happiness and remembrance in her eyes. It seems to be reminiscing about the old days. But gradually, there was more pity in her eyes, and there was also more parting!
As if having made the most difficult choice, Zang Aiqin shook her head. sighed: "Liu Lang." Maybe you've never changed. It's just that you were forced to survive in the past, so as to hide your true nature, and the concubine stayed very bored in this house. If you want to take Xingnan out for a walk, you, the sister of the Zhang family, and the righteous charm, take care of yourself. ”
"You're leaving me?" Liu Yu raised his head suddenly, and a touch of fierceness appeared in his sight!
Zang Aiqin just hugged Liu Xingnan and looked at him calmly, but a determination not to stop has been spread.
Liu Yu's face was cloudy, as if the years were presented on his face one by one, and the past also appeared in front of him one by one, unconsciously, the compelling momentum gradually dissipated, and he waved his hand weakly: "If you want to go, you can go." ”
Zang Ai kissed Liu Xingnan: "Say goodbye to your father and aunt!" ”
Liu Xingnan wiped his tears and gave a deep salute to Liu Yu and Zhang Que: "Xingnan has said goodbye, please take care of your father and aunt!" With that, he walked out with Zang Ai.
Seeing the two backs that were gradually moving away, Zhang Que reminded: "Liu Lang, just let Xingnan go?" She must be going back to Gangneung, so what about your ballista and divine arm crossbow? Now it's too late to leave them behind, Xingnan is still young and ignorant, and the concubine believes that the anger will disappear in a few days, let's try to persuade again, maybe she and her sister will understand. ”
"Let's go, let's go!" Liu Yu did not answer directly, but slowly turned around and walked to the back room, his back looked a little gloomy, as if something was missing in his heart
When Liu Yu's family was in trouble, Cui Mansion in Pingcheng had just had dinner, according to the old habit, Cui Hong would inevitably return to the study to read for a while after dinner, and the rest of the people in the house also did their own things, but everyone's eyebrows and eyes were a little depressed, just like the entire Pingcheng, the depression was suffocating, as if it was brewing a storm!
Two days ago, the news that the forbidden army and the heavily armored cavalry had been almost wiped out came back, which shook the whole city and made Tuoba Jue extremely angry, and no one dared to say more than half a word in front of him!
In such a depressing atmosphere, in the dark, two black shadows appeared in the backyard of Cui's mansion, one was Zhang Zhen, he was eager to make meritorious contributions, and he wanted to urgently close the gap with Zhang Ning, Li Zhu and others, so he asked Wei Feng to come to Pingcheng to pick up Cui Hong's father and son, and carry out this task that was almost a lifetime of death.
And this task, only Zhang Jian and the Yan army soldiers who followed him are the most competent, because they are Youyan natives, no matter their appearance, skin color or accent, they are almost no different from the Tuoba herdsmen, you must know that in the tense atmosphere of Pingcheng today, the slightest abnormality will be in danger of revealing the horse's feet!
More than 30 people disguised themselves as Tuoba herdsmen, and one by one they infiltrated the city, and their crossbow arrows and arrows were buried outside the city.
After several days of careful investigation, Zhang Jian took a subordinate to send a letter to Cui Hong tonight, because he couldn't figure out whether the servants and maids of Cui Mansion had other secret identities, so after thinking about it again, Zhang Jian decided to climb the wall and enter.
After making sure that there was no one around, the guard who followed squatted down, Zhang Jian jumped up quickly, and with the momentum of his companion's instantaneous uplift, his body was violently raised, and he firmly grasped the edge of the wall, and after a short while, he cautiously poked out half of his head to look.
In mid to late September, it is the golden autumn season in Jiankang, and the first frost has appeared in Pingcheng, which is at the intersection of autumn and winter, the temperature during the day may be mild, but at night it is a gust of northwest wind!
This is the back garden of Cui's house, there is no figure in the night, Zhang Jian did not hesitate, his arm was a little hard, and he easily went up to the wall, and then, he stretched out one hand downward, and the guard kicked the wall with a sense of emotion, and with the momentum of his body to raise it, he grabbed Zhang Jian's hand, and then kicked it, and then turned it over with his strength.
"Pounce~~Puff~~" After two muffled sounds, the two jumped into the courtyard one after another, and then took advantage of trees, pavilions and other obstacles, sneaked all the way to the study, Zhang Jian had already inquired that Cui Hong had the habit of going to the study after dinner.
Perhaps because he didn't want to be co-opted by outsiders when he was studying, there was no servant or maid near the study, only Cui Hong's loud reading voice came.
Zhang Jian did not hesitate, and directly pushed the door and walked in.
Suddenly, the sound of reading stopped abruptly, and Cui Hong was dissatisfied: "The old man didn't confess earlier, no one is allowed to fight while studying!" ”
Cui Hong didn't look up when he lost his temper, but when he looked up, he couldn't help but be stunned, and there were two men in black standing in front of him.
This old guy is worthy of having seen the world, and after a little startle, he guessed the clue, but he was not panicked, and asked lightly: "Who are you waiting for?" Why sneaky to come to the old man's study? ”
Zhang Jian hurriedly arched his hand: "The last general is Zhang Jian, the commander of the guards under the command of General Wei, and sent a letter to the family for the two Langjun of Qinghe, Cui Jian and Cui Tian. As he spoke, he took out a letter from his bosom and handed it over.
Cui Hong took a look, and sure enough, it was the handwriting of the second son, and the content had two aspects, one was to report peace and greet his father and brother, and the other was to persuade him to return to Weifeng.
In the first two days, the news of the annihilation of the forbidden army came, Cui Hong's last luck for the Tuoba clan was completely shattered, as long as it was not the Tuoba clan's own people, they all knew that the Tuoba clan was finished, this is not only the reason why 200,000 elites were annihilated and a large area of land was taken away by Wei Feng, the Tuoba clan has also suffered several devastating blows in history, but the secret of its failure lies in Dongmugen Mountain (now Hohhot, Inner Mongolia)!
It is a north-south passage along the river at the west foot of the mountain and the valley in the mountain, the north end of the valley is separated by the Yellow River, to the north can retreat to the vast grassland north of the Yin Mountain through the passes of the Wolf Mountain, to the south can cross the Yellow River to the Hetao, or to avoid the west of the river along the river, to the winter after the Yellow River freezes, it is unimpeded, there are two beacons similar to the road plug set up by Meng Tian at the north end of the valley.
As a military retreat and refuge place, East Mugen Mountain has always been firmly in the hands of the Tuoba clan before Tuoba Shiyigan, but with the death of Tuoba Shiyigan and the destruction of the Daiguo, the power of the Tuoba clan is at a stage of low point, so Rouran took advantage of the situation to seize the East Mugen Mountain and the vast territory of Yinshan Mountain to which it belongs, and after Tuoba Jue established the Wei State, the focus was on the Central Plains and the direction of Hebei, and the occasional intermittent battles with Rouran failed to bring a devastating blow to Rouran, and never recaptured East Mugen Mountain!
Originally, this was nothing, but now Wei is facing a strong attack by Wei Feng, and it has been cut off by Rouran, which is very terrible, to put it mildly, if Pingcheng is broken, the Tuoba clan will not even be able to escape, and their north is Rouran, unless they can recapture Dongmugen Mountain from Rouran, and this is obviously impossible.
Cui Hong looked very carefully, and it took a long time to put down the letterhead, and muttered: "Since General Wei treats my Cui family sincerely, the old man should be obedient, but no, now the atmosphere in Pingcheng is tense, and the investigation is strict, I am afraid that it will not be easy to follow, I don't know if this general has a good strategy?" ”
Zhang Jian shook his head honestly: "There is no good strategy for the time being, I am waiting to come, first of all, I have an understanding of Pingcheng, and secondly, I am looking for an opportunity to send you out, please Cui Shangshu wait patiently for a while." ”
Cui Hong showed a hint of relief, nodded and said: "Since General Wei asked the old man to listen to your arrangement, the old man will hand over the lives of my father and son to you, I wonder if General Zhang has any help from the old man?" ”
Zhang Jian arched his hand: "I don't dare to make arrangements, we will work out a plan as soon as possible, during this period, please Cui Shangshu do not show flaws in front of Lord Wei, this is the greatest help to us, this place is not suitable for a long time, the end will be retired first, if necessary, I will contact Cui Shangshu again." ”
Cui Hong could also guess that the servants in the house might have the eyes of the Tuoba clan, and there would be two more strangers, especially at this time, which would definitely make people suspicious, so he got up and said: "The old man will not leave two generals, please go slowly!" ”
Zhang Jian and the others turned around and left, and soon disappeared into the darkness. (To be continued......)
