Chapter 56: Unloading the Claws
However, what does this matter have to do with him? Feng Changxue spoke, and the corners of his lips pursed a free smile.
Gu Xi knew the meaning of elegance when he heard the string song, and naturally knew that the person opposite was observing him. Even if his temporary hiding place was discovered, even if the whole origin of the things he used was revealed, even if the martial arts and internal strength of the person in front of him were better than him at the moment, he was still calm.
And it should be reasonable for a person as brilliant as the other party to be curious about his mysterious origins and know a lot about the things he uses. He is naturally sure not to let the other party know his background, from inviting the other party to board the ship, to drinking tea, it is not a rash and rash move. All of this is the result of his instantaneous precise calculations and measurements.
He smiled leisurely like thin snow, and asked softly: "Contemptible people are people from the mountains and wilderness, wandering around, and occasionally come here. Brother Tai is a native of the desert country, why did he appear in this fiery border land of the Ul country? ”
This is a pre-emptive strike and the beginning of conversation and friendship.
The corners of Feng Changxue's eyes narrowed slightly, and he also said softly: "Brother Gu is a mountain man who has traveled here, and Feng has traveled the world here, and the wind and clouds will meet, and they coincide." ”
The two of them understood each other, and they both looked at each other and smiled.
Gu Xi's eyebrows were elegant, his eyes were like paint, he picked up the teacup in his hand, and said with a faint smile: "Since it is a meeting of the wind and clouds, it coincides, how about Brother Tai and I have a game to kill the quiet time at this moment?" "The layout on the chessboard is the most visible way to see a person's cultivation habits and even the continuation of his identity family. He wanted to know more about the person in front of him, or it could be said that he wanted to better understand the thoughts of the nobles of the Wind Country in cultivating their descendants and the importance they attached to the person in front of them.
"Very good, Feng hopes that Brother Gu will not hesitate to give advice." Feng Changxue said solemnly, raising his hand to invite the other party.
At this moment, Gu Xi and this noble son with extraordinary insight tested each other on the chessboard, with open guns and hidden arrows, and the edges converged; At the same time, Yun Yanzheng, who was far away in the border city, was thinking a lot in his heart, surging with mixed joys and sorrows.
Huicheng, the city gate is closed and heavily guarded.
Two days later, Yun Yanzheng finally received the good news that Wei Ying had recaptured Lucheng. Looking at the beginning and end of the battle described above, I still have lingering palpitations. If it weren't for Duanmu's nevertheless neglect of the war, Wei Ying and the others would not have been able to disguise themselves so easily to enter the city to encircle and suppress the enemy. If it weren't for the help of the woman in blue mentioned in the letter, I don't know what kind of tragedy would have happened in Lu City?
She clutched the letter in her hand, but she was thinking in her heart, who could this woman in blue be? Why is it in Lucheng? How can you find Duanmu's hiding place? And how can you get close to kill him?
In the past, on the outskirts of Lucheng, Wei Ying led a large army to battle.
He did not attack the people of the city in a moment because of the slaughter of the people in the city; Nor did he ever provoke him by the noisy insults of the soldiers, but caused the people of the city to suffer.
Although he knew that the people of Lucheng couldn't sleep at night, couldn't eat restlessly, everyone was in danger, and they were all afraid of Duanmu and never knew when they would attack him again, Wei Ying still approached the city calmly and calmly. According to the plan, he camped in the suburbs that could be seen at the head of the city, except for the first three days of majestic, and led the army out of the city wall to call for battle, Duanmu never paid attention to the defense of the city, and settled down in the camp.
Day by day, he slackened, and only went out twice for three days to call for battle, and returned to the camp helplessly.
In Duanmu Jue's view, the soldiers of the Wei Kingdom came with a grudge against him, and they must be in high spirits. The enemy is sharp, and he must not be attacked. This is to ignore their raging spirit, and let the spy report say that the other party is a victorious general who is brave and good at fighting with one enemy and one hundred enemies. After pouring enough cold water and the morale of the Wei army gradually depressed, he once again swept away the Nine Heavens Cavalry outside the city, leaving them without return.
Duanmu is a tiger waiting to fight, and he wants to kill him.
In the Wei Ying camp, however, it is loose on the outside and tight on the inside, and from the outside, it seems that it is not getting worse day by day, morale is declining, and the fighting spirit is gradually weakening. In the inside, it is quietly sharpening the knife night and night, waiting for the battle, the generals are waiting patiently in unison, and the formation is lurking, only waiting for the day when the time is ripe, Duanmu will not be deceived, and the leader of the troops will come to cut it off the horse, Ling Chi under the knife.
But he didn't know that at this time, Duanmu was intoxicated in the gentle countryside in Lucheng. Duanmu lost his mother at a young age, was scolded and beaten by his father and stepmother, and later escaped from home and lived in the rivers and lakes, and was taken care of by a woman. The two depended on each other, but the woman sold herself in the Qinglou because of hunger in exchange for two silver taels for him to join the army. After Duanmu was promoted to a centurion, he went back to look for the woman, but learned that she had been beaten to death, so he hated and sought revenge. However, the enemy is the local magnate of Yu State, and he is not a centurion who can retaliate, so he has been stealth in the army, and after being promoted to general, he has planned to frame the enemy and take his life, so that he will finally get revenge.
After Duanmu captured Lucheng, he killed the defender of Lucheng and hung his head at the city gate, and bloodied the defending army and their relatives and friends, making the city full of blood, and everyone was afraid and angry. In addition to the heroic and long-term anger of the Wei army, such an act is not only a deterrent purpose of killing chickens and monkeys, but also a bloodthirsty temperament of bullying is missing.
Yun Yanzheng analyzed his weakness and arranged such a countermeasure, so that Wei Ying could calm down. Wei Ying's good fighting is known as a victorious general, and because of the righteousness and blood of the Jianghu people, it is easy for people to think that he is brave and impulsive, not good at strategy, and can only go to charge into battle, not wait for the rabbit. This is the purpose of Yun Yanzheng sending him to fight in Lucheng, making people think that he is coming to fight Duanmu to the death in order to avenge Lucheng's bloodbath, and weakens his estimation and prevention. Show the enemy with weakness, and lure with obstacles.
For a few days, the spies returned. The guards in front of the Weiying battalion were rigorous, but the officers and men in the battalion were anxious, all talking about not knowing when they would be able to fight the Yu army. The general danced when he heard the chicken, was diligent in training, and had high morale.
After some more time, the spies reported again. The guards in front of the Weiying battalion were still in order, and the officers and men in the battalion complained a lot, questioning the wasted time when they surrounded the fireplace. The general listened but did not listen, surveyed the defense, and the anger gradually grew.
As time went by, the spies came to report. The guards in front of the Weiying battalion have been slack, and the soldiers in the battalion are joking, secretly gambling money and throwing dice. The general was idle in the tent, occasionally showing his fists and feet, and his heart was impetuous.
After a series of investigations, I learned about the changes in Weiying. On this night, the moon was dark and the wind was high, and the gate of Lucheng was quietly opened, and a fierce cavalry swarmed out. Dressed in black and black, the horse's hooves were also wrapped in black cloth and landed silently, sneaking towards the camp of the Nine Heavens Cavalry at a gallop. From a distance, the camp was darkly lit, and the soldiers guarding the camp were also dozing, and their weapons were resting on the edge of the wooden fence beside them.
Duanmu Jue's subordinates observed the sharp competition for a while, and couldn't help but sneer lowly, and raised the silver knife in his hand and waved. With a silver light shining, the cavalry that followed rushed towards the Wei camp together, all wielding silver knives as sharp as snow in their hands, ready to harvest human lives at any time.
A rapid wind blew, and the guards in front of the Wei army camp suddenly woke up, their eyes widened, and their weapons didn't have time to be lifted, so they reflexively rushed into the camp, and exclaimed loudly: "The Yu army is attacking the camp!" The Yu army is attacking the camp! The people in the slow camp also woke up one after another, and then shouted in panic: "The camp has been attacked!" The camp is attacked! Hurry up and assemble ......" was in a panic and disorder, and the east and west were crooked.
was so flustered, so running around, only to provoke Lijing to sneer again and again. led the crowd to rush into the camp, and waved his sword to kill the Wei army, but when he entered the camp, there was no shadow of the Wei army in the dark. In the cut down camp tent, there was no one, and a trace of ominous things were slipping in Li Jingdu's heart, and the cavalry behind the Yu army had already shown a burst of exclamation. The horses under him were sinking as they ran, and Li Jingdu stabilized his horse and escaped from the trap, but the cavalry that followed behind him fell into the pit underground with the soft sand and stones, and people or horses were pierced by the short spears buried deep in the body.
Wave after wave, the camp that was quiet and uninhabited a moment ago, now the surrounding grass and trees are shouting, and the blades are sonorous. Under the command of a loud sky, the feather arrows rained down, and the sharp arrows were shot into the camp together with the intense flames.
Li Jingdu patted the horse from afar, the flames were smoking, but the distance was still dark, and the arrows around him rose and fell. He came to attack the camp unsuccessfully, but he has fallen into the trap of other people's schemes. He glared angrily, there was a faint scarlet bloodshot in his eyes, and he waved the silver knife in his hand to almost kill, but he couldn't find the figure of the other party, but he had to wave his arm and use the silver knife to constantly resist the denser and denser feather arrows, and it seemed that under the endless shooting, the scorching bloody breath between the breaths blowing in the wind became thicker and thicker, and gradually shrouded the shadow of death.
The camp set a trap in secret, and the rockets that surrounded it were two-pronged, and the remaining Yu troops brandished silver knives and swore to resist to the death, but they could not escape their doom and died in the array of the Wei army one by one.
Wei Ying inspected the corpse of Yu Jun and found that it was not Duanmu Jue who led the troops, and he couldn't help but feel cold in his heart. He thought for a moment in his heart, led a cavalry in his heart, and rushed to Lucheng in the uniform of the Yu army. pretended to be victorious and returned, and when the guards interrogated him, he held the captured Yu soldiers alive to deal with it, pretending that Li Jingdu was injured in the shoulder and neck and rushed into the city for treatment. After the city gate was opened, a team of men and horses went straight into the city tower to control the guarding Yu army, and then went to the government to find the whereabouts of Duanmu Jue.
Later, the commander of the Wei army drove in, and Wei Ying and Duanmu Jue met at the official residence of the Lucheng Mansion, and the two started a life-and-death duel, and the soldiers of the two sides also fought each other. The city has long been night without leaving the house, only the sword light and sword shadow, the people heard that the Wei army entered the city, and the excitement gradually had a crowd to attack it, and the lone Yu army surrounded and beaten.
After a bloody battle, Duanmu was injured and fled, and disappeared while being chased by Wei Ying.
Although the Yu army was defeated, Duanmu Jue was still hiding in the city, and the people couldn't help but tremble, lest he appear in their homes.
While treating his injuries, Wei Ying ordered the whole city to track down Duanmu Jue's traces. But he was very worried in his heart, and he didn't know what kind of cruel actions this person would do to hurt the people of Lucheng at such a desperate point.
Just when Wei Ying was helpless, a woman in blue stepped on the golden lotus. Present him with a bottle of brocade in both hands. Wei Ying was received by the soldiers in front of the yamen of the government, and those who came were not good did not come. The other party smiled lightly, his eyes were dazzling, and his voice was like a swallow's cry: "The general doesn't have to be a soldier, the little woman is from the Wei country, and she naturally came to relieve Lucheng's worries." With a smile, he put the brocade box in his hand on the ground, slowly opened the lid, and everyone was shocked, the box contained was the pale head of Duanmu who died in blood.
When everyone in the Wei army came back to their senses, the woman in blue had already smiled and drifted away, like a fairy.
All kinds of doubts flickered in her heart, and she faintly felt that someone was secretly manipulating the whole story. But it is inextricably linked to the initiator of it. But this kind of control of the overall situation, foreshadowing thousands of miles, and decisive finality is like a person's technique.
