Chapter 6: Chang'an is missing
A column of military horses galloped past, disturbed the quiet in the forest, trampled on the mud on the path, a majestic city is like a sight, that is Jingtian City, its north has the Qinling Mountains to block, is the Qin Empire and the An Dynasty of the moat, it can be said that the Jingtian City, can determine the tens of thousands of rivers and mountains in the south of Qin, began in the Qin Empire's founding emperor Qin Min era, the emperor sent a heavy general to guard with this, with the Qinling Mountains, and Anguo confrontation, however, after the new emperor Qin Fang ascended the throne, but withdrew nearly half of the army, the beautiful name said: pity the border soldiers miss their homeland, the important passage of the southern gateway of the empire, let the An army pass, so that the iron hooves of the An army stepped on the land of Qinshi, which had been quiet for a long time, and wreaked havoc again.
"General Yue, we are less than a hundred miles away from Jingtian City, and within fifty miles of Jingtian City, we have found the Anjun scout, General, what should we do next?" A guard with armor asked Yue Fan who was riding a horse in a low voice, Yue Fan turned around and looked at the sergeants who followed behind him, then dismounted, hugged the helmet embroidered with the national flower of Qin and Bauhinia on his head, and said in a loud voice: " From now on, we march into Jingtian City, there is no need to worry about our lives, because the armor of the flying cavalry on our bodies is the guarantee of our lives, without my order, no one is allowed to unsheath the sword at will, whether we can lead the army back to help Chu Shuai, it depends on whether we can succeed, you dare to follow me into the city!"
A soldier's talent is loyalty, he does what he is told, and he still carries out decisions that they think are going to die. Some smart soldiers may have thought of something, looked down at the armor on their bodies, and then looked at the eyes of their comrades-in-arms, their eyes were full of firmness, "Pass my orders, follow me into the city!" Yue Fan raised his arms and exhaled, and walked towards Jingtian City, where the outline could be vaguely seen with the naked eye.
What a majestic city, the gray and black city wall is to remind the world, this is an insurmountable Xiongguan, but unfortunately the black Qin battle flag that was once hung was replaced by a red An ** flag, the dazzling red, seems to be teasing Yue Fan and others, teasing them, the city can not be conquered, but still prostrate under the military authority of the An army, the soldiers of the An army who patrol back and forth in the city wear bright red armor that contrasts with the black armor of the Qin army, red and black, can not coexist, compete with each other.
There was the sound of war drums beating in the city, and in an instant, on the city wall, the archers of the An army were all over the city, and a general stepped forward and shouted: "This is the territory of my Anguo, and your Qin army wants to attack the city with this little force, will it be too underestimating the combat strength of our An army? Pass my order and prepare to release the arrows! Let these eagle dogs of the Qin State come from and go back to where they come from!" When the general of the righteous path An army was about to give an order, Yue Fance immediately stepped forward and shouted: " The general's subordinates are merciful, we are the flying cavalry under the account of General Xiao Moxiao, and I am here to convey the order on the order of General Xiao, please meet General Lin Yan, and hope that the general will give an announcement. Yue Fan looked up at the An army buckled on the bow in the city, looked at the general among the soldiers, the hand holding the reins, and couldn't help but sweat, he knew that the soldiers behind him had already held the hilt of the sword, and he didn't dare to guarantee that the armor on his body could really save the lives of himself and the soldiers behind him when they were targeted by tens of thousands of Anjun archers, and drops of sweat had appeared on his face, running down his face, constantly dripping, but he could only pretend to be firm, and he must not let the Anjun in the city see any flaws, otherwise, under the ten thousand arrows, there was no possibility of survival, and the Qin army in Tianluo City in the distance and the hundreds of thousands of people in the city would also go with him, He didn't dare to be careless at all, the perseverance and courage cultivated by many years in the army made him slowly firm, he drove his horse to stand under the city, it was really, the general was strong, and the soldier was strong!
Soon, the gate of Jingtian City opened, surrounded by many guards, a general, with his sword in his hand, walked towards Yue Fan, when he was still about three zhang away from Yue Fan, he stopped his steps, stared at Yue Fan with breathtaking eyes, and the Qin army standing solemnly behind him, and said coldly: "You are the person sent by Xiao Mo?
Yue Fan faced the eyes of this general, and he did not let the general in front of him be stunned, "It is said that there is a god general in Anguo, and there is no Tiance general in Qin, I am afraid that the general is this Anguo god general, Fang Qian, I have been waiting for a long time to admire the name, this time by the order of General Xiao, General Xiao was afraid that the letter bird was intercepted by the Qin army, and ordered me to wait to convey the news to Xiao Yu, the guard of Jingtian City, as for the password, I taboo that there are scouts of the Qin army in your army, so I can only inform you of one person, please come forward." โ
Fang Qian pondered for a while, and suddenly, strode towards Yue Fan, decisiveness, perseverance, and courage were embodied in a young general who had not yet been established, that kind of fearlessness, but Yue Fan couldn't help but admire. Fang Qian waved his hand, signaling the surrounding guards to disperse, some of the guards flashed hesitant expressions on their faces, and wanted to say something, under Fang Gan's resoluteness, they had to retreat to the side, but the archers in the city still tightened the strings of the arrows, as if as long as Yue Fan made any bad moves, the five thousand Qin troops behind him would be like hedgehogs. Fang Qian approached Yue Fan, he looked at Yue Fan's sword, and his hand grasped the hilt of the sword, ready to draw it out at any time. Yue Fan leaned over and whispered, "I don't see Chang'an."
This is a creed that Chu Li found in Xiao Mo's house, and the content on it was indistinguishable because the words were burned black, leaving only these four words, "Chang'an is not seen". It means that the reunification of the country, which has not been seen for a long time, will be realized soon.
Fang Qian smiled, patted Yue Fan's shoulder, raised his hand, and waved his hand to withdraw the archers in the city when Yue Fan thought that the slogan was wrong, Yue Fan's heart was flustered, nervous, and complicated, after seeing the archers withdraw, he was also glad for himself in his heart, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, surrounded by the guards led by Fang Gan, he entered Jingtian City. Yue Fan looked up, on the city gate, there were many dry heads, in the middle, it was the head of Yue Lin, the Jingtian guard, and the stench came from it, like a sword, inserted in Yue Fan's heart, constantly, dripping with blood.
"The last general, Li Chen, meet General Xiao Yuxiao. Yue Fan clenched his fists and said to the bloated general in front of him. The person known as Xiao Yu was very fat and bloated, and he really didn't know why he was able to guard this Jingtian City. "General Li has worked hard, I don't know what order General Xiao ordered you to convey?" Xiao Yu held his fat belly and waved his hand and asked, " That's the case, Chu Li's previous order, General Xiao has sent a feather book to inform the commander of the An army, now on the front line, the commander with 300,000 troops to attack Tianluo City, if the general can be the main force of the Qin army is pinned down, order to attack other cities near Tianluo City, and form a siege with the army led by the commander, a total of wipe out the army of the Qin army, get rid of the Tiance general of the Qin State, this merit, but enough to seal the Marquis of Jinjue, when the An army pacifies the Qin State, eliminate the Qin State, the general has an immortal great merit, recorded in the annals of history, famous, admired by 10,000 people, and the general is worriedใ Yue Fan said in a deep voice, the more he spoke, the more passionate he became, adding officials to knighthood, and leaving a name for eternity, which was a great temptation for Xiao Yu, a veteran who was about to unload his armor and return to the field. Xiao Yu's heart couldn't help but get excited, looked at Fang Qian beside him, and didn't have any objections, slowly calmed down the joy in his heart, and pretended to excuse himself: "Let me think about it, after all, the stakes are very high." General Li Chen is also tired, so he will rest in the house for one night tonight, and I will reply tomorrow. Someone came, send General Li Chen to rest. Yue Fan still did not forget to persuade him, and when he approached the gate, he still turned around and said: "Don't miss the opportunity, I hope the general will cherish it." โ
After sending Yue Fan away, Xiao Yu turned around and asked Fang Qian beside him, only to see Fang Qian thoughtfully, suddenly, the corners of his mouth rose, and said: "This plan can be done, General Xiao should plan well, I'm a little tired, let's go rest first." Xiao Yu looked at Fang Qian, who had usually been the opposite of him, but now agreed, after some consternation, he couldn't hold back the joy in his heart, and after Fang Qian left, he laughed loudly: "I, Xiao Yu, also have the day of being promoted to the Lord, haha!!" The laughter echoed in the mansion, constantly fluttering
The sunset was sinking and the stars were filling the night sky, Yue Fan stood by the window, looking into the distance, "I don't know, what's wrong with Chu Shuai" Suddenly, a soldier pushed the door in, and before Yue Fan could turn around, he came to Yue Fan's side with his sword, put the sword in front of Yue Fan's neck, and said in a low voice: "Yue Fan, don't think that I can't see this during the day, I'm afraid Xiao Mo has been arrested and executed by your Chu Shuai." โ
Yue Fan glanced at the sword-wielding man with his residual light, and his heart instantly fell to the bottom, but that person was Fang Qian!
