Chapter 056: Her Royal Highness the Celestial Princess
Although Death Valley is a folklore, after all, hundreds of years have passed, and it seems very mysterious whether it can trap the blue wolf alliance and let them evaporate from the world for no reason.
However, this legend is not groundless, the situation described by the hunters who live around Lenghu Mountain, Gong Changyu still has to weigh it again and again, and strictly orders the sergeants to enter the Valley of Death at will, preferring to believe it rather than believe it.
When the Blue Wolf Alliance enters the canyon, it is likely that the third scenario will occur, that is, the Blue Wolf Army has hallucinated and treated their own people as enemies and harmed each other, while the leader of one or several people escaped in the melee. If this is the case, it will be the ideal ending, first, to confirm the authenticity of the legend of Death Valley, and second, to understand the strength of the blue wolf alliance.
Gong Changyu's mind spun quickly: "In charge, I have actually been in Death Valley." Let's take a look today. ”
"Changyu, eighty percent of the blue wolf coalition army is trapped in the canyon. If they had been safe and sound, we would have been attacked on this trail long ago. Feng Jiao'er looked around at the surrounding grass and trees, seemed to hear the sound of the rope, and hurriedly pressed Gong Changyu's head, "Everyone squat down, it seems that someone is coming from our side." ”
Immediately, Gong Changyu, who was extremely vigilant, squatted down next to Feng Jiao'er, and the two were almost sticky together. Seeing that there was a situation on Feng Jiao'er's side, the sergeants also squatted down one by one, and quickly hid themselves in the artemisia grass on the side of the road to avoid being discovered, and the muskets in their hands were tightly pulled.
Five minutes later, three men with scratches on their faces, blood on their clothes, ragged clothes, and wolf turbans on their heads were under the tree. The future who walked in front of him carried the Fu gun on his shoulder: "Damn, the Qinghe army is too cunning, take us into the canyon, and disappear without a trace......"
"Master Shuai, we didn't have a fierce battle with them in this battle, hundreds of brothers were buried in the canyon, what kind of tactic is this?" A short man walking in the back asked.
"I, Li Zhaoshou, am not a great god, how do I know what kind of deception the Qinghe military envoy is?" Li Zhaoshou took off the wolf turban on his head and threw it into the grass, "It's good to pick up a life, it's a fart to ask so much!" Lao Tzu just wants to go back to Heyang Town and borrow 3,000 elite soldiers from the Eagle King Chen Yuchao, so he has to set foot on this cold lake mountain. ”
"Shi Shuai, the Eagle King is surrounded by the Qinghe Army in Jiangbei, maybe he is asking for help from King Han in Jiangdong County!" The other tall man wiped the blood from his face with his cuffs.
"Miao Peilin's bad idea, let us smuggle into the Longtan Tiger's Den and surprise attack the base camp of the Qinghe Army, we will definitely succeed in one fell swoop...... Now, there are only three of us left of the 300 people. Li Zhaoshou sneered a few times, "It's not shallow, Miao Peilin, Miao Peilin." ”
"Master Shuai, Lenghu Mountain is so big, can we still go back?" The tall man snapped off a small branch.
"We might as well surrender to the Qinghe Army, it's better to die than to live. When you have the opportunity, it's not too late to turn back. Li Zhaoshou looked back, and the short man held * and smashed it towards his neck.
"What are you doing!" Li Zhaoshou grabbed the * in the short man's hand.
"Shi Shuaishuai, I see you on your neck...... There was a mosquito. The corners of the short man's mouth curled, and he slapped it again.
"Kill chickens with a knife?" Li Zhaoshou turned around, and grabbed the short man's throat with a backhook hand, pinching the short man's breathlessness, "Hong Yixing, you want to rebel, don't you!" ”
"I ......" the short man rolled his eyes at the tall man, and twisted his head to wink.
The tall man next to him immediately knew it, and took advantage of Li Zhaoshou's defenselessness, and pointed the rifle at the back of Li Zhaoshou's head: "That's right, we just want to arrest you and go to the Qinghe Army to surrender!" ”
"You ......" Li Zhaoshou only felt that the sky was spinning, staggering and falling, and when he finally understood that this was the two subordinates who had poisoned him, he couldn't move.
The tall man pounced and pressed Li Zhaoshou to the ground. The short man quickly pulled out a short knife, cut off a few kudzu vines, and the leaves were not removed, and directly tied Li Zhaoshou into a zongzi and tied it tightly: "Master Shuai, I'm sorry, if I don't hand you over to the Qinghe Army, the three of us will die!" ”
"You are traitors seeking glory." Li Zhaoshou kept struggling, "Let go of me, Hong Yixing." ”
"Master Shuai, we followed you from Tanzhou City to Shicheng, and the brothers charged into battle, blocking how many guns for you. The lord of the country kept saying that after he laid down the stone city, he gave us good fields and mansions, and the credit belongs to you alone, we are still a small soldier, and now they are all dead in Lenghu Mountain. We may die in battle one day, and you, as a commander, should also wake up. The tall man lifted Li Zhaoshou up from the ground.
"Wei Chaohui, the lord of the country treats your Wei brothers well...... Li Zhaoshou said.
"Shit! In the Stone City Rebellion, my brother died under the conspiracy of the lord of the country, and my father and mother were also killed. The lord of the country borrowed a knife to kill people, thinking that it was seamless and not leaking, in the final analysis, it was the power that was at fault! Wei Chaohui scolded, "My Wei family is just a man, I don't want the Wei family to cut off the incense." ”
"Your brother King Yan killed innocents indiscriminately, and he went too far, and the lord of the country is a handsome man who sacrifices his car and tears to cut off the horse, and he can't do it." Li Zhaoshou argued.
"It's too light, by the way, to deal with Yang Xiuhao, the king of Qi, he ordered my brother to go back to Beijing to save the driver, and then crossed the river and demolished the bridge, killing people and killing people, Feng Quan's trick is vicious enough." Wei Chaohui would not believe Li Zhaoshou's nonsense. At that time, if he hadn't been under the hands of King Wei, I am afraid that he would have been killed by Feng Quan.
"Brother, if you have something to say. Let me go......" Li Zhaoshou stood and refused to take a step.
"It's late. At this point, Hong Yixing and I only have to protect the car (zhu). The 100 foreign spear teams you brought with you were completely finished, and more than 2,000 of your men had surrendered to Lord Zeng in Ha Duong. Wei Chaohui desperately pushed Li Zhaoshou forward.
"No way, I was fine when I came. How could it happen that there would be a mutiny? You're alarmist, aren't you? Li Zhaoshou shook his head.
"I'll show you something." Wei Chaohui took out a letter from his arms, held it in one hand, and shook it in front of Li Zhaoshou's eyes, "See, there is a bright red seal on it, a handwritten letter from General Yin Zongtang!" ”
"Give me a closer look......" Li Zhaoshou said impatiently.
"It's useless to read it. General Yin has already arranged everything, as long as Brother Hong and I capture you alive, we will be the two garrison positions. Hahaha......" Wei Chaohui said with a smile.
"And what's the matter with surrender?" Li Zhaoshou asked.
"If you want to know the truth, then give me obedient words." Wei Chaohui put the muzzle of the gun on Li Zhaoshou's vest, "Let's go!" ”
Li Zhaoshou thought about it while walking, and after thinking about it for a while, he realized that the day before he set off from Heyang Town, when Miao Peilin went to his camp tent to convey the intention of the state minister, he was the special envoy of the lord of the country and temporarily took over his army.
Wei Chaohui, as his own lieutenant and personal soldier, has been concealing and not reporting, and secretly has correspondence with the commander of the Qinghe Army, the lord of the country sent the blue wolf coalition army to Lenghu Mountain to burn grain and grassland is a trap, Wei Chaohui is not dead, Feng Quan is restless. On the night when Shi Xianda, the king of Wei, was besieged in Heyang, he led 100,000 blue wolf troops to flee, and there was no one to protect Wei Chaohui. Wei Chaohui and Hong Yixing captured themselves in Lenghu Mountain, which is also understandable.
"Master Marshal, if I tell who is the mastermind, will you join us in defecting to General Yin Zongtang?" Wei Chaohui seemed to see Li Zhaoshou's thoughts.
"No need to explain. I'll fight against the water with you, anyway, these hundred foreign mercenaries are dead, and even if I go back to Stone City, it will be a dead end. Li Zhaoshou sighed.
"Master Shuai, we will work together in the future. I'm glad you can wake up. Wei Chaohui high-fived and smiled.
"Then why don't you untie me quickly?" Li Zhaoshou asked.
"No, you can't. For the time being, I have to grieve you, we are not joking, we have to be real. Wei Chaohui came over with a rifle on his back and whistling and swaggering.
When Gong Changyu saw that there were only three people, he immediately stood up and raised his gun and shouted at them: "Don't move, raise your hands!" The rest of the Qinghe Army soldiers also aimed at Li Zhaoshou and the others when they heard the sound.
Wei Chaohui and Hong Yixing didn't panic at all, in fact, they already knew that there was an ambush on this side of the path, so they immediately threw away the rifle on their shoulders and raised their hands very cooperatively.
Wei Chaohui went straight in: "General, don't shoot, we're here to defect to you!" I'm Captain Wei Chaohui of the Blue Wolf Military Academy. ”
"Defect to me?" Gong Changyu barely believed his ears.
"General, don't worry, we don't have any weapons left." Wei Chaohui shouted loudly, as if he had known Gong Changyu before.
"Then let me ask you, who is this trapped person?" Gong Changyu held the musket and took a step forward.
"General, this is Li Zhaoshou, the division commander of the Blue Wolf Army, this time he is the commander-in-chief of the Blue Wolf Alliance's special attack team." Wei Chaohui replied.
"Any credentials?" Feng Jiao'er pointed at Li Zhaoshou with a Hongjun sword.
"Yes." Wei Chaohui ripped off Li Zhaoshou's waist card and threw it to Feng Jiao'er.
The second she reached out to take the waist card, the bracelet was revealed again. Wei Chaohui recognized Feng Jiao'er and quickly knelt on the ground: "The eldest princess is auspicious, the little one is here to greet you." ”
"Hey, Wei Chaohui, you won't be dizzy! She is not the eldest princess of the blue wolf country, but my daughter-in-law. Gong Changyu said with a smile.
"General, the little one is very sober. The identity of the eldest princess is not fake, and there is a southern red agate bracelet in her hand as evidence. Wei Chaohui lowered his head and said.
"That's right. She is the eldest princess Feng Jiaoer, the commander of the women's battalion. After Li Zhaoshou finished speaking, one leg involuntarily knelt on the ground, "Eldest Princess, the last general Li Zhaoshou will knock to see His Royal Highness!" ”
