Why complain about asking for flowers! ）

A group of more than a dozen vendors pushed the cart into the customs together, and the little officer didn't pay attention to the evil smile on the face of the person who was dealing with him when he lowered his head and pushed the cart, and patronized the money in his pocket, but when he wanted to take it out, a small colonel came to the door and shouted:

"Shut the door!"

So the petty officer withdrew his hand from his pocket, and threw himself into the crowd.

At this time, in a dense forest fifteen miles outside the Jianmen Pass, there was no sound, and only the chirping of birds was heard, which really responded to what the Southern Dynasty poet Wang wrote in "Crossing Ruoye Creek": "The cicada noise forest is more quiet, and the birdsong mountain is more secluded." ”

It was getting late, flocks of birds swept across the sky, the light gradually dimmed, two people in mountain people's costumes hurriedly walked outside the forest, walked outside the forest but did not go in, but learned to call birds, when they were young, there were also two bird calls in the forest, and then walked out of a person, but he was dressed in official and military clothes.

"Why did you come back so late?"

"What, is the general to blame?"

"The general slept soundly, but our brothers waited anxiously. How is it? ”

"Take me to the general!"

In the depths of the dense forest, it is already extremely dim, faintly hearing the sound of gurgling water, you can see the water light of white flowers, and a general in his thirties is sitting by the water, who is eating water and nibbling on dry food (a kind of dry food in the Tang Dynasty, a kind of cake, often used as dry food in the army. An officer approached:

"General Qiyu, the scout is back!"

This general is Yan Qin, the general under the command of the Shannan West Dao Jiedu Envoy, Yan Qin heard this, so he threw the dry food aside and said:

"Biography!"

After a while, two people dressed as mountain people were brought to Yan Qin, and the two of them knelt down and said:

"General Hui, the little one is ordered to investigate and come back!"

"How?"

"Liu Er has already brought more than a dozen brothers into the gate!"

Yan Qin was overjoyed, got up and high-fived and said:

"In this way, great things can be done! Come on, give credit to the two! ”

"General Xie!" / "Yes! ”

"Tell the soldiers to rest until one watch, and then have a full meal, and take the pass with me!"

"Yes!"

"Damn, Shannan is stunned that there is no good person!"

In the small room near the gate of the sword gate, a group of soldiers were gambling money, and the little officer during the day lost the money, and slapped the table and said hatefully.

"What's wrong? If you lose your gambling money, what will the strange Shannan do? ”

Another petty officer asked as he counted the money.

A veteran on the side said:

"Zheng Touer checked a group of merchants in Shannan this evening, the group of merchants pretended to be loose or, afraid of trouble, stuffed Zheng Tou with a large bag of money, which was heavy, Zheng Tou thought that he had made a fortune, and he was happy for a night, who would have expected that this group of merchants would be cunning, and he actually wrapped a lot of heavy stones in the cloth bag, Zheng Tou didn't look carefully for a while, and was confused by this group of merchants, and he was really annoyed."

There was a burst of laughter in the room, and an officer made a mockery:

"Xiao Zheng, you accept bribes and let Shannan spies enter the customs, I want to report to the adults for military treatment, you go and make two jars of good wine, sacrifice our five internal organs temple, let's discuss."

There was another burst of laughter in the room, and the little officer surnamed Zheng said:

"Straight lady thief, what kind of spy, Xichuan's army is about to hit Lizhou, it's too late for Shannan to defend, and it's still dangerous to attack the sword gate? said that it was going to be strictly investigated, and the new Lord Assassin Shi had been in office for a few days, and he hadn't even come out of the Sword Pavilion. ”

As he spoke, he pushed the gambling equipment and said:

"Lao Tzu stopped gambling, go out to pee!"

The one on the side who had been waiting for a long time hurriedly squeezed up, so a table of people gambled again.

The little officer surnamed Zheng came out of the room scolding, didn't care about admiring the moonlight, stood on the side of the road and unbuttoned his pants and peed, humming while urinating, just half of the pee, a cloud covered the moon, and the night suddenly dimmed, and then, the little officer felt a cool breeze on his cheeks, his mouth was covered, and the person fell back, and the flat-fire gun became an anti-aircraft gun. By the time the moon reappeared, there was no one on the road.

Under the semi-circular moonlight, on the side of the boulder outside the city, there were two people lying on their heads, holding on to prevent themselves from closing their eyes, and suddenly, they saw three lights on the upper floor of the sword gate, and the spirit of the two people was suddenly shocked, and they quickly disappeared from the boulder.

Not long after, there was a dense footstep sound on the ancient road of the Sword Pavilion outside the Guan, although the footsteps were dense, but it was very light, walking on the stone road, making a faint sound, neat and urgent. This is the soldiers and horses of Yan Qin's department, as soon as the team of people and horses bypassed the boulder, four or five torches lit up on the city tower, and the door opened with a "squeak", and one of the leading generals shouted:

"Brothers, the scout team has succeeded, follow me into the pass, and kill the thief to make meritorious service!"

At this time, the soldiers and horses of Shannan West Road had already lit torches, heard what the general said, and shouted together, several horses galloped out of the brigade, and rushed into the gate in an instant, and the infantry of the brigade followed closely behind, rushed in, and the torches were shining, and the three big characters of "Jianmen Pass" on the gate seemed to be extremely dim, and it seemed that they were ashamed of being attacked so easily.

In less than an hour, Yan Qin's troops took control of Jianmen Pass, and many of the soldiers guarding the pass were from the old Dongchuan department, and they put down their weapons after a little resistance, and only a dozen people such as the guards were killed in a hurry to resist. As soon as he entered Guanzhong, the Khitan man Keti Mizhu threw the head of the guard in front of Yan Qin and said:

"General, the last general thought that there would be a fierce battle, but this guy was so unbeaten, and his head was chopped off in three rounds!"

At this time, naturally no one would report that this defender wanted to surrender, but was forced by Keti Mizhu and had to fight. Yan Qin didn't ask about the passage of Keti Mizhu in detail, and said:

"Write down the head of the Koti Mizhu. Raise soldiers for a thousand days, and use them for a while. The brothers have been preparing for so long, and they have nothing to do after only half a watch, and they have rested for two days, and they are expected to not be able to sleep tonight. ”

Keti Mizhu didn't know that Yan Qin was agitating generals, he won the first battle, and he already had an understanding of the combat power of the Jianzhou Army, so he couldn't wait to make more military achievements, so he immediately responded:

"Why don't you dare? As long as the general gives an order, the last general will go to fetch the Sword Pavilion tonight! ”

"Good!" Yan Qin said, "If you take the Sword Pavilion today, I will definitely ask Lord Jiedu to ask the court for credit for you!" Keti Mizhu, you quickly take the people of the headquarters as the forward, go straight to Dangkou, if the engagement is unfavorable, just wait for the general to come, if you win Dangkou, you will go straight to the Sword Pavilion! ”

"The last general obeys!"

Keti Mizhu gave a military salute to Yan Qin, and immediately turned around to find the soldiers and horses of the headquarters. Yan Qin said to the other generals:

"This general estimates that at noon tomorrow at the latest, the Sword Pavilion will be broken, General Tao will stay at the Sword Gate Pass, and the other generals will set off with this general!"

"Yes!"
