Chapter Ninety-Five: Unintentionally Inserted Willows
Zhu Quan has been in the army for a long time, so he naturally knows that this is the token of the commander of the three armies, and he can't help but be overjoyed. After pacing back and forth for two steps, he said in a low voice: "This fruit is stable by nature, after we take the order arrow and sneak out, we will ask Lord Jiang to protect Nai Thorn Wu, go to the stupid army in Haili Creek, fake the military order, and order Shen Peng to lead the caravan to leave, so as not to suffer from the pond fish when the blue jade army raids." Speaking of this, his eyes flashed, and he continued: "The master also followed, and asked Nai Tingwu to falsely pass on the military order of Ping Zhangguo, lock the north gate where the Hailixi cavalry was stationed, and then go to report to Lan Yu, let him lead the army to come, and launch a surprise attack before dawn, when the Yuan army did not know that the main general would die, and took Gyeongju in one fell swoop." ”
Xu Yingqi said: "Even if the gate is locked, as soon as our army arrives in the city to fight, the Yuan army at the gate of the city will inevitably open the door and lock it, and let the Yuan army outside the city enter for reinforcements, but what's the use?" ”
Zhu Quan chuckled: "After the city gate is locked, I have my own way to make them unable to unlock it." ”
Qin Zhuofeng didn't kill Ping Zhangguo on the long street before, and he also had the intention of seizing the order arrow and pretending to pass the military order, nodded when he heard the words, stretched out his hand to take the two order arrows in Zhu Quan's hand, and said in a low voice: "It's still the two of you to report the news, the old man stayed in the city to meet the blue jade army, and when he entered the city during the day, he saw that the city gate was more than two feet thick, and it was extremely solid, like this night, the gate must be locked, and the sergeant in charge of the key must not be ordered by the general, and he will never open the door, and the two of you are not martial arts enough, I am afraid that I will not be able to open the gate in time." He was worried about the safety of Xu Ying and Zhu Quan, so he wanted the two to take the opportunity to report the news to stay away from the danger of Gyeongju.
At this time, he saw that the double reed play of Nai Nai was getting more and more real, and he really couldn't make up anything to say, so he immediately reached out and took the horsewhip of Guolai, whipped his body fiercely, and cursed with foul language in his mouth, and let out two screams from time to time, pretending to be a spy himself, and was severely torturing the guards.
Jiang Xian frowned, and said in a low voice: "I'm just afraid that the Yuan army still has a lot of scouts outside the city, if His Royal Highness and the two go out of the city to report the news, I'm afraid that the Yuan army will find out, and something bad will happen." After that, he stretched out his hand and took out a dagger from the side of his calf, stretched out his hand and pulled out a guard's waist knife, and broke it with a wave, and said with burning eyes: "This is a sharp blade that sharpens iron like clay, and with this thing in hand, it is not difficult to destroy the lock and open the door." In his heart, he secretly calculated: If His Royal Highness King Ning is here, I can't help but if you don't come to the rescue, whether you are defeated or His Royal Highness King Ning dies, you can't get out of it. He deeply hated Lan Yu's humiliation of whipping him in public, and at this time, he saw that he was unharmed, and his heart had already turned to other plans.
Qin Zhuofeng pondered: When the blue jade army arrives, with me in front of the scouts, the chance for the Yuan army to find out will be greatly reduced, recalling the treacherous captain Highlander he saw during the day to monitor the caravans, and then said: If the Yuan army finds out about the arrival of the blue jade army too early, that cunning Mongolian Tartar will inevitably lead his troops to defend in time, and it will inevitably fall short. Thinking of this, he nodded, walked over to the four candles, and cut off most of the lower end with a knife, leaving only a thin piece to continue burning. Zhu Quan and the others couldn't help but wonder when they saw him behaving so strangely.
Nai Tingwu has been an official in Beiping, naturally proficient in Chinese, and listened to their discussions, at this time, without waiting for Qin Zhuofeng's orders, he immediately pretended to be a fruitful voice, and shouted in Mongolian indistinctly: "So the three of you will escort this guy to Haili Creek and detain him, and pass on the old man's military order, so that the Han caravan will leave immediately without delay." After a pause, he continued: "The old man is going to rest, you can't be disturbed if you have nothing to do." ”
The guards outside the big house vaguely heard the lord's orders, and when they saw the Yuan army dressed as three guards escorting the spy out to pass the military order, they did not doubt him.
The four of them came to the door easily. Zhu Quan looked back at the lobby, only to see that the candle flame in the room had been burned out at this time, and one by one the lamps were extinguished, and he couldn't help but smile secretly: Master arranged like this, let me wait for a while to go out, and the candles will be extinguished one by one, seamlessly, I am afraid that it will be dawn tomorrow morning, and the Yuan army will find that the main general has died thoroughly.
A few people took four horses and waited outside for Qin Zhuofeng to sneak out to meet, Zhu Quan took off his clothes and armor and asked Nai Tingwu to change into it, but Qin Zhuofeng put on the set of Yuan army armor of his apprentice Xu Ying.
At the time of parting, Qin Zhuofeng looked up at the sky where light snow was already falling, and told Zhu Quan and Xu Ying: "You two be more careful, lock the north gate, lock the 20,000 cavalry under the command of Hailixi, and lurk outside the south gate, wait until you can see the division and the blue jade soldiers coming to the city, and then seize the gate and enlarge the army into the city." It turned out that he saw that there was a lot of snow falling in the sky at this time, and he recalled that the 30,000 army of Lanyu was still dozens of miles away, and he was not completely sure whether he would risk sending troops.
Xu Yingqi said: "There are only two of us, how can we lock the north gate?" ”
Zhu Quan suddenly chuckled and said: "I can't open the lock, but I can't let others open the lock, but it's extremely simple, find a sharp thing and quietly insert it in the keyhole, let him do it, and don't want to open it again." ”
Seeing him say this, Qin Zhuofeng put his mind at ease. Xu Ying couldn't help but laugh when she heard him say such a strange method.
Zhu Quan and Xu Ying climbed on the roof, avoiding the Yuan army's patrol in the city, and quietly approached the north gate.
Qin Zhuofeng and the other three pretended to be the guards under Ping Zhangguolai, and one route was answered by Naishuo, who showed the order arrow, and successfully dealt with several teams of Yuan troops patrolling the night, and came to the north gate.
Nai Tingwu had already received Qin Zhuofeng's orders, and immediately showed the arrows to the four sergeants guarding the door with high spirits, asking them to close the door and lock it immediately after they went out.
Seeing that they were dressed in the attire of the generals and guards of the Pingzhang Guolai Army, and that they were holding arrows in their hands, the soldiers defending the city did not dare to slack off, so they hurriedly divided one person to go to the guard office of the nearby residence to find the commander who was responsible for guarding the key to the city gate.
It turned out that the city gate was the key point of the defense side when the two armies were fighting, and the opening of the door must be ordered by the orders of the commanders of the three armies, and the two commanders in charge of the key would not stay at the city gate, but stayed at the residence not far from the city gate. Otherwise, it would be too easy for the enemy to sneak into the city, kill the person in charge of the key at the door, and then open the door and let the enemy into the city.
Qin Zhuofeng and Jiang Xian were in the shadow of the backlight, and the brim of their hats was pressed very low, so as not to give the Yuan army who was close at hand a glance.
A moment later, a commander of the Yuan army hurried to the gate of the city, took the arrow of Nai's assassination, and after checking it repeatedly, he gave orders to his four soldiers guarding the gate.
Naishugo deliberately said to the commander with a calm face: "Lord Pingzhang also specially instructed me to wait for another important matter after leaving the city, after closing the city gate, immediately lock the north gate, and no one is allowed to order the arrows to be ordered, and no one is allowed to enter or exit." ”
The commander also knew that there were still hundreds of Han people in the caravan in the military camp outside the city at this time, and recalled the caution of the main general Ping Zhang Guolai, and did not doubt him at all, and nodded: "The general is steady, and my subordinates will naturally respect the military order." ”
Seeing that everything was going well, Nai Tingwu immediately led Qin Zhuofeng and Jiang Xian out of the city.
The commander on duty at the city gate immediately ordered the retreat to be locked, and the four Yuan troops immediately lifted the heavy and strong latch, latched the already closed city gate, and locked it tightly with thick iron chains.
Nai Thorn Wu led Qin and Jiang into the military camp outside the city. showed the arrows of the main general's order, passed all the way unimpeded, and came to the handsome tent in Haili Creek.
Hailixi was hungover at this time, and after his commander checked that the arrows were correct, he immediately ordered his subordinates to drive Shen Peng's caravan away from the army camp.
Shen Peng was in danger, where could he sleep, and after listening to Jiang Xian's instructions, he had to order a group of men to get up, pack up their vehicles, camp tents, and set off to leave the barracks.
A group of guys got up in their sleep for a group of wolf-like Yuan Jun, and hurried away overnight against the wind and snow, unable to help but be full of resentment, not daring to curse Yuan Jun, but he quietly cursed the shopkeeper Shen Peng in foul language for being useless, and he couldn't even sleep peacefully.
More than 3,000 people under the command of Hailanda, all of them were cavalry, naturally camped in the camp of Haili Creek, heard the noise outside, walked out of the camp tent and inquired, only to know that it was Pingzhang Guolai Lord to pass down the military order, drive the caravan away, came to the north gate to take a look, saw that the gate was closed, couldn't help but nodded, a little relieved, and said: Sure enough, Jiang is still old and spicy, Gyeongju is such a vital place, there is no room for loss, Haili Creek that kid left these hundreds of Han people in the army, it is extremely inappropriate. Seeing the caravan leaving one after another, Lord Guolai locked the city gate, which was exactly what I wanted, relieved my heart, and turned around and returned to the account. He didn't know that the general orders issued by the Yuan army at this time were no longer issued by Ping Zhangguo.
