105, Ashnade
Dugu Huan, who had never spoken, looked at the soldiers behind him, very worried about their safety, just a few wild pigs yesterday were enough for everyone, more than two hundred at once, even if he and Guo Hua tried their best, they would kill the sky and the dark, how to take care of them when the time came?
"Let's not talk about those barbarian pig guards, I'm afraid that my army won't be able to go up this plank road, old man, except for this plank road, there is no other way to climb that highland?" Yan Zhenqing asked.
"At this point, Lord Yan, please relax, there is still a secret passage to go up, as for those barbarian pig guards, they will be dealt with by the people of our clan, the adults and soldiers can go to encircle and suppress those pro-soldiers, and there are more than 500 pro-soldiers on the top who are also very brave, and they need to be specially assigned to deal with it. β
"Secret Dao, are you sure it's safe?" Guo Hua remembered what the old man had said, Ashinad had grabbed a lot of secrets to protect the clan, and he couldn't help but be a little worried.
"It should be no problem," the old man thought for a while, and said: "Ashnard has divided my people, how can the old man sit idly by, among those betrayed clansmen, the old man also planted eyeliner, according to their news, that secret path Ashnad has not noticed so far." β
"Okay, then Mr. Lao will arrange for someone to guide us. Yan Zhenqing said happily.
"Lord Yan is polite, once the war breaks out, then there will be our people who will knock out the enemy's watchtowers and arrow towers in advance, and the inside and outside should be combined. As for Ashnad, she is usually in her own dormitory or on the Wind Moon Terrace, a terrace where she often feasts and drinks, and our people will release arrows to show her whereabouts. β
"Hahahaha, that's great. β
Yan Zhenqing discussed with the old man the details and tactics of the march and battle, and ordered all the soldiers to set up camp tents near the village to make pots and make meals, leaving 50 soldiers to mingle with the old and weak women and children in the village in the camp, creating an atmosphere of camp celebration.
The rest of the ** went through a secret corridor with the guardians to a waterfall in the southwest corner of the temple heights.
"It's right behind here. The old man pointed to the waterfall.
It's just that this waterfall is more than 30 zhang high, and the amount of water is huge, if you force it through, you have to smash your body to pieces.
Yan Zhenqing and the others were silent, as if they were waiting for the old man's next move.
Sure enough, the old man smiled, walked under a cliff himself, stretched out his hand and groped in a rock crevice, the old man's shoulder screamed, and a rumbling roar like the rotation of a millstone came from overhead.
More than ten zhang above the head, a huge rock is slowly stretching out from behind the waterfall, dividing the waterfall into two streams, forming a "door hole" below. β
It's really ingenious, and everyone can't help but secretly refuse.
The old man commanded several teenagers to go to the bottom of the waterfall and together pushed a rock open, revealing a cave large enough for two people to pass through at the same time.
The boys continued to enter the cave, and it took about half a pillar of incense before one of them turned back and informed everyone that the secret passage was safe and passable.
Inside the secret passage is a natural karst cave, there is an underground river that meanders quietly in the cave, and the guardians have carved a step up the rock veins along the karst cave, leading to the top.
The exit is even more magnificent.
It was completely hidden beneath a large river, and the boys twisted a mechanism, and a large stone slab above the cave moved away, and the river crashed down, forming an outward exit.
When the turbulent river slowed down, the army passed through and came to the high ground.
Above the river was also a waterfall of great volume, and people came out of the cave and stood ten paces below the waterfall, splashing and soaking their clothes.
On both sides of the river are tall and dense pine cedars, which shade the sky and the sun, and the forest is deep and quiet, and the squirrels and grass insects hiss.
The troops who arrived first hid in the dense forest to rest, wring the water stains from their clothes.
More than 1,000 people from both sides came to the high ground through the secret passage, and it still took a lot of time.
The time is already in time, and the warm winter sun is slightly yellow.
The procession came to a halt at the edge of the forest, and on a beautiful flowering tree, perched a kingfisher, so quiet that almost no one noticed its presence before it suddenly flew towards the old man.
The kingfisher vibrated its thin wings and chirped a few times in the old man's ear, and the old man turned his face and chirped a few times at the kingfisher.
The kingfisher flew out of the woods and into the high walls like a messenger on command.
At this time, the place where ** is based, within 100 steps of the opponent's city defense, you can clearly see the rebels on the arrow tower, patrolling back and forth with vigilance.
There was no warning.
The four wooden arrow towers collapsed outwards against the wall, and the high wall could not bear its weight, and then collapsed, forming four huge gaps.
The soldiers who had fallen with the tower still had respite, and just as they were about to get up and shout, several young eagles flew up like sparrows, and the cold light of the hook and sickle slashed their necks.
The army divided into four directions and rushed into the city through a gap in the wall.
In the more than a dozen courtyards in this area, all of them are the families of An Lushan's subordinate generals, and there are two teams of 100 people constantly patrolling the streets, responsible for guarding their safety.
Although they had been ordered to be vigilant before, ** suddenly broke through the city wall and killed in front of them, which was still much beyond their expectations, and they almost did not encounter any decent resistance, ** annihilated these two forces in one fell swoop.
Dugu Huan grabbed a living mouth and asked about the whereabouts of Shi Siming's family, he brought Shi Siming's tokens and handwritten letters, but it didn't take much effort, Shi Siming's old mother had a wife and a young son, so she agreed to follow them away.
As for the other rebel families, they have not heard from their husbands and sons for many years, and they have long been resentful of An Lu's house arrest here for three years, and they heard that Luoyang would be captured at any time after a long siege, so they also half-pushed and half-obeyed the ** arrangement.
For the sake of safety, Yan Zhenqing and the guardian clan each dispatched their own people, and Ma Xiangru led the team to escort the family members to a secret stronghold and temporarily hid.
Without any scruples, ** and the warriors of the guardian clan were even more courageous, rushing all the way to the terrace in the center of the inner city. There was an agreed fireworks and arrows, and Ashnard was here.
This is an extremely grand square, around the square set up more than a dozen ancient statues of ancient gods and goddesses, dozens of flagpoles more than 100 feet high on the flagpole fluttering.
In the center, it was originally a memorial rooftop, but now it has been expanded into a terrace that can accommodate more than a dozen people singing and dancing at the same time.
At this time, there are musicians who manipulate the silk and bamboo orchestras, and dancing performers, dedicating their performances to the master.
At the back of the terrace, there is a tall and ornate screen with a scarlet Persian carpet and several tables covered with melons, fruits, wine, and food.
Seven or eight teenagers in half-naked shawls lay there upright, and against the scarlet carpet, the young man's fair and smooth flesh was even more fragrant and amiable.
A plump woman half-covered her body with a purple robe, lying on her shoulders folded in the arms of the teenagers, a pair of eye-catching breasts and round jade legs, at the mercy of the teenagers.
A young man had just peeled off a petal of orange and was about to deliver it to the woman's mouth, when he suddenly caught a glimpse of the menacing crowd across the square, and with a shake of his hand, the orange petal fell on the woman's chest.
Compared with the murderous **, the fall of the orange seemed to make the young man more frightened, his body trembled, and he looked at the woman speechlessly.
The woman laughed coquettishly, reached out and pressed the young man's face to her chest, the orange was crushed, and the sweet juice flowed all over the woman's chest, the woman let go slightly, and the young man raised his head and licked the sweet ** liquid that stuck to the woman's body diligently.
More people noticed the ** killing, and the movements of the musicians and the servants were obviously flustered.
The other boy was about to move, and seemed to be in a hurry to get up and hide from the impending murder, but the woman saw through his thoughts, and carelessly pressed a small foot on his shoulder, and the tip of the foot gently played with the boy's neck and ears.
"Panic whatβgo onβ"
** Surrounded the terrace and set up a formation, and the mighty murderous aura pressed everyone present.
The woman had no intention of standing up, but turned sideways, and a well-behaved young man immediately crossed his legs, and the woman rested her head on her lap.
"Hehe, Yan Zhenqing - it's really you. β
"Naturally, it's an old man. β
"Hehe, when Lord Yan came to attend the birthday banquet of the old body, he saw that you were different from those civil officials, and reminded my stupid son several times that he would do it to you earlier, and he laughed and said that killing a literati is just killing a chicken, and now I feel distressed as a mother. β
"Hahahaha, that's really thanks to the old lady's love," Yan Zhenqing stood upright and pointed directly at the traitor: "Now in the eyes of this official, the old lady might as well be arrested, and go to Chang'an with the official to receive the guilt and be punished, and it will not be in vain to eat half of her life of the emperor's grace." β
"Giggles, to be honest, the old body really envy you people. Ashnad half-covered his purple robe on his chest and sat up.
"Do you envy us for not being afraid of evil spirits?"
"Hmph - I envy you for living a simple life, if all the things in this world can be solved only by relying on the word loyalty, then life will not be much easier. β
"This official has never thought that just relying on one or two dogmas can make the world simple, whether it is the common people, the princes and generals, for fame and fortune, or just to live, no one's life is easy, but no matter what the situation of a person is born, there are still many opportunities to be the person he wants to be, even if he does not have the opportunity to live the life he wants to live in his life, but he also has the opportunity to be the person he wants to be. β
"Hehe, what you said is very similar to his tone. β
Ashinade seemed to be very touched by Yan Zhenqing's words, and the light of the slanting sun fell on her bright eyes, as if a memory flashed.
β......β
"Hehe, what are you surprised about? It's not just you literati who have a sense of life. β
"No, I didn't think so, but I was surprised that someone could say such a thing to Madame. β
