Chapter 50: A Helping Hand
Xi Jian was imprisoned in a tent and kept under close surveillance. Because he still needs to rely on him to stabilize his subordinates, he is not embarrassed by him.
When his subordinates heard that Xi Jian was being imprisoned, they were all furious and were stopped by the three generals.
Liu Shiyu's army was quite calm on the surface, but in fact, the storm was coming.
Ma Yun looked at the tent where Xi Jian was detained, and he had no idea for a while: if Xi Jian is reversed now, he can also lead the people in Xiong'an Village to help out, and it is not bad to form a revolutionary friendship;
Once the battle starts, Xi Jian's subordinates will charge forward, and they will inevitably suffer heavy casualties, and then this beam will be big, and it will be impossible to reconcile, so they must be forced to rebel before the battle begins.
"The key to whether to oppose or not is still in this Xi Jian!" Thinking of this, Ma Yun came up with another idea.
If it is too late today, he still needs to go back to make some preparations, but before going back, he still has to spy on Liu Shiyu's military tent.
When the stele was dug up during the day, Ma Yun had already blended into the guards. Suddenly, a few hounds came, sniffing around, and the hounds were followed by a group of soldiers. The hound seemed to smell something and walked towards his position.
Ma Yun didn't want to make any extraneous branches, so he hesitated and took advantage of the chaos to escape into the forest. When he found another opportunity to pretend to be a guard, Xi Jian had already been arrested and missed the opportunity to admire Liu Shiyu's true face.
He wanted to see what Liu Shiyu looked like and whether he had a chance to assassinate him directly, so that when Xi Jian rebelled, he would have a greater chance of success.
Liu Shiyu didn't even have a military tent and stayed in the huge carriage all the time. The carriage was surrounded by red flame guards, several hounds patrolled back and forth, and even a falcon hovered overhead.
"This Liu Shiyu is really stable, the road is stable, and the hiding place is also stable. It's not easy to assassinate him!"
Temporarily giving up the idea of assassinating Liu Shiyu, Ma Yun returned to the cottage and told everyone about today's situation, and everyone didn't have a good opinion of Xi Jian's actions. When Ma Yun proposed to prepare to poison Xi Jian, he was unanimously opposed by everyone.
"I said, you went out for a day and came back as a transsexual, and you learned to poison people!" Qin understood his eyes, and his disdain was self-evident.
"That's not right, Xi Jian is also a loyal person, so he was poisoned like this, isn't it a little too much..."Tong Guanshan also shook his head and said.
"I misjudged you, and you're also an unscrupulous villain!" Shangguan Feng directly showed anger. Only Gao Tang sat there without saying a word.
"Listen to me! When I say poisoning, I am making a show, poisoning him, making him unconscious, and his soldiers will inevitably rebel, and when the time comes, we will take advantage of the chaos to kill, and we will be able to save both the poor soldiers and the Xi Jian. I think my plan is not bad!" Ma Yun said aggrievedly.
"You can't make it clear, Lao Qin, I still have you fallen into evil magic, and I'm going to exorcise demons!"
"I knew that Shaoxia was not a vicious person!" Tong Guanshan said with a smile.
"Hmph, the enemy is still in the mood to show off!" Shangguan Feng was still angry.
Gao Tang smiled and said, "This plan is wonderful!"
"Since everyone has no opinions, then we have to change the strategy we specified before, and we need to take the initiative. I will return to the enemy army in a moment, and find an opportunity to poison Xi Jian tomorrow. I'm going to give him the poison of that beauty drunken begonia and make him unconscious. Brother Tong, Brother Qin, you two are ready at any time tomorrow morning, look at my fireworks signals, if Xi Jian's men rebel, you will lead the brothers to kill from the village and take the opportunity to support Xi Jian's men. At that time, the enemy army was only a few miles away from the cottage. Everything acts on the signal, and if you don't see the signal, you don't move. ”
Although there were no hounds patrolling around the tent where Xi Jian was held, there were about 100 Red Flame Army guards, and it was extremely difficult to poison him unknowingly. Ma Yun was mixed in with the soldiers, and he couldn't get close to the tent. Seeing that there are still two days to go, the army is about to reach the cottage, and today it is bound to provoke a mutiny.
Ma Yun watched outside the tent for two hours, and finally waited for an opportunity, but a general in armor led hundreds of soldiers to clash with those Red Flame Army, looking at the color of the soldiers' clothes, it should be Xi Jian's soldiers.
While clamoring to see the general, he stopped him from passing, and the confrontation began in such a tense manner. Xi Jian, who was imprisoned in the tent, heard the chaotic sound outside and walked out of the tent, and the restraint ropes on his body were gone.
Under Xi Jian's orders, those people retreated. Those Red Flame troops all focused on Xi Jian, and Ma Yun took the opportunity to get into the camp. There was a table and a bed in the tent. There were wine and food on the table, and it seemed that Cai Xi Jian did not move, but he drank a lot of wine;
Jack Ma poured the beauty into a wine jug and sprinkled begonia pollen inside the tent. As long as Xi Jian drank wine and smelled a little bit of begonia pollen, he would immediately fall unconscious.
Everything was set up, and Ma Yun quietly got out of the tent. In Liu Shiyu's huge carriage over there, a conspiracy was going on.
"These 4,000 'Beifu soldiers' may rebel at any time, but I'm afraid it won't last long. Yao Gang had a worried face.
"Dashuai, let's just kill them all, now they are divided into two places, one is to open the road, the other is to push the cart to transport grain, Xi Jian is imprisoned, it is easy to kill them. Gao Yong said loudly.
"Marshal, once we rebel, we will be passive!" said the fat man Ding Jianjun.
"Damn the stele, ruined my whole plan! Gao Yong, just do as you say, and in an hour, launch an attack and kill them to the ground. As soon as Liu Shiyu gave the order, someone informed him that Xi Jian was unconscious.
"What, unconscious, it can't be pretended, right?" asked Liu Shiyu loudly.
"Returning to Dashuai, I pricked his numb point with a golden needle, but there was no response, he was really unconscious. ”
"How could a good person suddenly fall unconscious!"
"It seems to have been drugged by some kind!"
"Damn, Gao Yong, don't wait an hour, start in half an hour. ”
"The subordinates obey the order, so let's arrange it!"
"What 'the tablet meets Xi, the sky destroys Lu', Xi is dead, what can the sky do?" Liu Shiyu said ruthlessly.
Here, Ma Yun could already tell from the nervous appearance of the departing guards that Xi Jian had been poisoned. Another thought popped up in my mind. He used his short sword to engrave the words "General Xi Jian is dead" on the wood chips, and secretly threw them into Xi Jian's soldier camp. Sure enough, it didn't take long for the camp to be agitated.
When Ma Yun was secretly happy in his heart, he was stopped by someone: "Hurry back to the team, there is a task!" Ma Yun hurriedly walked into a team of 100 people. Then I saw a lot of teams going back and forth in the army, as if there was something important.
"It's not good, Liu Shiyu is going to do it in advance! Xi Jian is in danger. Ma Yun's judgment was not wrong, because after his squad and the other teams rounded, a team of Red Flame Army also appeared.
"The marshal has an order, the 'Beifu soldiers' intend to rebel, and now they are exterminated. Do it!" Then I saw the Red Flame Army take the lead and kill it. Fortunately, Xi Jian's subordinates over there seemed to be prepared, and the Red Flame Army did not panic too much when they killed it, but raised their weapons to meet them.
At this time, Ma Yun relaxed a little, but when he thought that Xi Jian was in danger, he couldn't care so much, and took advantage of the chaos to gallop towards Xi Jian's tent. His actions immediately attracted the attention of some people, but before he could ask, he had already run away.
There were no guards around Xi Jian's tent, and it seemed that they had all gone to participate in the battle. Ma Yun rushed to the tent to take a look: he saw that the tent was empty, and Xi Jian, who was supposed to be unconscious, disappeared.
Ma Yun fell into deep self-blame, if Xi Jian, who was harmed by his own scheme, lost his life, this was never his intention. Just when he was in a daze, he instinctively felt that there was danger behind him, and hurriedly dodged sideways. A sharp arrow flew past the tent and left a small hole in it.
I saw a Red Flame Army looking at him in surprise: "At the time of the big battle, he escaped from the battle, and he was still sneaking here, what did he want!" Ma Yun glanced at him, took out a long knife disguised as a soldier, and slashed at the man. The man also swung a knife to meet him, but in a moment, the man's throat was cut by Ma Yun.
"This Red Flame Army's armor is really good!" When his knife slashed at the man's neck, he encountered great resistance. If it weren't for Ma Yun's strength, the armor on his neck would be weak, so he could still feel the resistance, and if he was replaced by an ordinary master, it would be even more difficult to break through the armor.
Looking at the fierce battle crowd, he hesitated to signal the fireworks. Originally, it was planned that the Beifu soldiers would make the first move, get the first opportunity, and then let everyone in the cottage help them.
Now the Beifu soldiers have lost the opportunity and are at a disadvantage, a few miles away, waiting for them to come, once the Beifu soldiers are defeated, they will also fall into encirclement. After some deliberation in my heart, I decided not to let off the fireworks. Especially the Red Flame Army, which is well-equipped, while the Beifu soldiers are brave, but there is too much difference in equipment, and they are already at a disadvantage.
Ma Yun was about to raise his knife and step forward to help the Beifu soldiers, when he suddenly killed many people with different colors, and they seemed to be from the martial arts. Those people rushed into the battle with weapons and slashed at the Beifu soldiers.
"Where did these people come from!" Ma Yun didn't have time to think, seeing that the Beifu soldiers were retreating, and the circle of encirclement was getting smaller and smaller, his blood surged, and he rushed over with a big knife. Ma Yun is like a mad beast, the big knife flies, setting off a bloody storm and killing the encirclement out of a gap.
"Brothers of the Beifu soldiers, let's escape into the forest through this gap first, leave the green mountains behind, and don't be afraid of running out of firewood!" Ma Yun's sideways kill made the Beifu soldiers also taken aback. Soon, a staff general reacted and commanded the Beifu soldiers to retreat towards the forest while fighting.
The Red Flame Army here was also attracted by Ma Yun's bravery, and gathered a hundred people to prepare to kill Ma Yun.
"I'll wipe it!" a large number of sharp arrows flew over. Ma Yun's heart fell, lifted the two corpses on the ground, picked them up like a windmill, and most of the sharp arrows were blocked in the wrong direction, but there were still some flying past him, and the Beifu soldiers behind him immediately came with a miserable scream.
Before he could make a move, another large number of sharp arrows flew over. Ma Yun's heart was horizontal, and he called part of the mysterious energy, using his hands and feet at the same time, and quickly threw the corpse next to him, the mysterious energy was added, and the power was about 5,000 catties.
As soon as those Red Flame Army got up from the ground, Ma Yun was like a tiger out of the cage, waving a big knife and rushing over, and it was another bloody storm!
