On both sides of the official road in the early morning, the air was cool, the grass on the trees was dotted with droplets, and a burst of hooves like a shower was endless, and it was Huaiyu and Gu Youzhao who were immediately there...... There is also Duan Qinqin.

Huaiyu ordered Awei to lead the troops to the rear, and he drove the horse first.

The city is not far away, and the rapid march will arrive in two days, and if you are quick to whip the horse, it will not take a day.

Yundu, Xinxiang, and Xiangcheng are in a triangular trend, and the distance between the two is not too much, Xue Yao led 100,000 remnants to Xiangcheng yesterday, and he will arrive tonight.

Huaiyu knew that if the Huyou army went north through Xiangcheng, it would not be easy to take advantage of the fire to rob, so he had to rush to Xiangcheng before the Huyou army and intercept the Huyou army!

When the sun was sinking in the west, Huaiyu and the three of them successfully entered Xiangcheng and went straight to Xiangcheng Taishou Mansion.

Although Xiangcheng is also located in the remote west of Dayou, its land is fertile, rich in products, and has the reputation of "plugging the south of the Yangtze River", therefore, in this troubled world, Xiangcheng is too guarded by Wu Yin but is not in a hurry, does not fight or grab, and guards the people of Xiangcheng safely and steadily, but it is also a strange person.

Wu Yin was dressed in civilian clothes at this time, and was writing and painting in the study with leisurely feelings, when he heard that the next person came to report Huaiyu's visit, he slowly put away the paper and pen, shook his sleeves, and went out to greet him with a smile.

"Oh, Miss Gu, what kind of wind blew you to me today?"

The corners of Duan Qinqin's mouth twitched, are Huaiyu and you very familiar?

Huaiyu said: "Xue Yao's Huyou army fled all the way north, passing through Xiangcheng tonight, I want to borrow Wu Taishou's talisman." ”

Wu Yin hesitated: "General Xue has resisted the Qiang people for many years and has made indelible contributions to Dayou, if I agree to your request today, it will be disloyal and unjust." ”

"What a loyal and righteous Wu Taishou!" Huaiyu said coldly, "I heard that you were the champion in the Youqing period, and now you have a good life in this Xiangcheng, but I don't know if your old father in prison is also like this?" ”

Wu Yin was shocked: "How do you know about this?" ”

Huaiyu didn't answer, and continued: "You borrow my talisman, and I save your father, how about it?" ”

"You ......"

Wu Yin's face was unreverted to leisurely: "I only said that you occupied Yundu, I never thought that you also had power in Kyoto, little girl, you have great ambitions!" It's not good for a woman to be so strong. ”

"In troubled times, natural selection is competitive, and the strong survive." Huaiyu said in a deep voice, "Wu Taishou, this deal, you just say whether you should or shouldn't, right?" ”

Wu Yin smiled bitterly: "Do I still have the qualifications that I shouldn't have?" ”

"You really don't."

Huaiyu got the talisman that ordered 50,000 city guards in Xiangcheng, picked 3,000 elite soldiers out of the city, and stationed them in a mountain stream twenty miles outside the city, ready to wait for the rabbit.

When the night fell, Huaiyu ordered three thousand elite soldiers to plant torches all over the mountains on both sides.

The Huyou army abandoned the city in a panic, and rushed for two days in a row, and now they were hungry and exhausted.

Xue Yao rode his horse in front of the army, and the famous herald said in a loud voice: "The army listens to the order, the Xiangcheng is imminent, and the Xiangcheng is imminent." ”

Hearing that Xiangcheng was imminent, the joy in Hu Youjun's heart had not yet receded, and he saw the dense firelight on the mountain in front of him from a distance, and the captain came forward to report: "General, there is something different ahead." ”

Xue Yao also saw those dotted fires, and wondered in his heart: "This place is only more than 20 miles away from Xiangcheng, how can there be soldiers ambushed here?" ”

"Could it be that the Qiang people have already rushed ahead of us to attack Xiangcheng?"

Xue Yao glanced coldly at the captain who said this: "Pass the order, the army will rest in place, and order the scouts to go and investigate the situation!" ”

"Yes!"

Immediately, a small group of scouts, about a dozen or so, quickly disappeared into the night.

The night was vast, the coolness was deep, there was a crescent moon hanging coldly in the sky, and the three thousand elite soldiers who were ambushed in the mountains had already heard the dense sound of horses' hooves in the distance, and they were silent one by one, and a slight hot sweat broke out on their foreheads.

Duan Qinqin's palms were hot, and he nervously pressed next to Huaiyu, and asked quietly: "The Huyou Army has an army of 100,000, why do you only bring 3,000 people?" ”

"Shh

Huaiyu made a silent gesture towards her, and Duan Qinqin had no choice but to hold back the doubts in his heart.

Gu Youzhao paid attention to the path below the mountain attentively, his ears moved, and he turned back to Huaiyu and smiled, Huaiyu said, "Xue Yao really stopped." ”

"How do you know he's stopped?" Duan Qinqin was puzzled.

Huaiyu glanced at her: "You listen carefully." ”

Duan Qinqin listened carefully, but she didn't hear anything, she said in frustration: "I didn't hear anything except the bird's call." ”

Gu Hezhao smiled, looked at Huaiyu, who was also helpless, and then looked at Duan Qinqin, who was depressed, and shook his head.

Huaiyu patiently explained to Duan Qinqin: "If there is no sound, doesn't it mean that their army has stopped?" ”

"Yes, there was still the sound of horses' hooves, but now there is no sound of horses." Duan Qinqin suddenly realized.

Huaiyu nodded and said to Gu Hezhao: "Xue Yao will definitely send scouts to come first, you wait here, and I will go down to deal with this first batch of scouts." ”

Gu Youzhao nodded.

Duan Qinqin hurriedly grabbed Huaiyu: "Be careful." ”

"Don't worry!"

Huaiyu flexibly descended the mountain and came to the narrow mountain road, holding only a thin bamboo pole in his hand.

When a dozen or so Tiger Army scouts approached, by the faint moonlight, they only saw a thin white-clothed back, fluttering under the mountain wind, like a ghost.

They slowed down and looked at each other, and one of them asked loudly, "Your Excellency is a human or a ghost?" ”

"What do you say? In the mountains and fields where the moon is dark and windy, how can there be people? ”

Huaiyu turned around, expressionless, and looked at the few people in front of him lightly.

The more than ten scouts only felt that the woman in front of them was extremely beautiful and cold, her voice was extremely brittle and beautiful, but the words she said were chilling.

"Who is the girl scaring here?"

The scout who spoke earlier had the courage to say loudly, "Whether you are a human or a ghost today, we will send you to Hades!" ”

As he spoke, he raised the long knife, laughed and walked around the top of Huaiyu's head in a few circles to demonstrate: "You beautiful face, how can you withstand my sharp long knife?" Don't say it, I'm really reluctant. ”

The rest of the scouts laughed together, dispelling many of the fears.

Huaiyu looked at the laughing scout in front of him like a dead man, and lowered his eyes and was silent.

The scout saw that Huaiyu's eyelashes were long, his eyes were big, and his face was very beautiful, and his heart moved, and the long knife poked out, and he was about to cut Huaiyu's belt. Before the long knife arrived, the scout felt a sharp pain in his wrist, and with a clang, the long knife fell to the ground.

He looked at Huaiyu incredulously, the girl in front of him was still in the same position, it seemed that she had never moved, only the corners of her clothes fluttered in the wind.

The bamboo pole in Huaiyu's hand was provoked, gently and dexterously, and pierced into the scout's left eye, and the scout screamed, covered his eyes with both hands, and wailed.

Huaiyu sneered: "The scouts of the Tiger You Army are just this virtue? Has Xue Yao forgotten to train all these years? ”
