"My lord, let's... Just take these things to Songting Pass? ”

Wei Laosan patted the burden on his shoulders and asked Gu Huai.

There was nothing else in this baggage, only many letters, the two most important of which were written by King Yan and King Ning, and the others were mostly letters written by the family members of those generals who held important positions according to the roster.

It has been two days since Daning was defeated, and the three guards of Daning Wei and Ning Wang did not move lightly, but they just watched the changes in Daning coldly at the station, until today, Liu Zhencai, the governor of Songting Pass, symbolically sent people to Daning, scolded King Yan, and told King Ning that he would lead troops to Daning in a few days, Gu Huai took Wei Laosan to set off, ready to go to Songting Pass to stop Liu Zhen, who was in a hurry.

If Liu Zhen, who was anxious at this time, rushed over with the officers and soldiers of the imperial court to besiege the city, who knows what kind of situation it will turn into in the end, King Yan came to borrow troops, if he was blocked in Daning City, then there would really be a lot of fun.

There are a total of three people in the line, in addition to Gu Huai and Wei Laosan, as well as the Ning Wangfu cronies who opened the door to let the Yan army enter the city, the casualties of the Yan army in the Daning siege battle are very small, it can be said that Yu Liang has made great contributions, his identity on the face is a small flag to defend the city, and the king of Yan directly mentioned him a hundred households guarding the city, because he is familiar with the roads and generals here, so Gu Huai brought him this time, but Li Liang walked a little awkward along the way, and I think it is also, a few days ago, the princess was a cronie brought out from Duoyan Sanwei, and in a blink of an eye, he became a part-time worker for King Yan... Anyone will be a little uncomfortable.

Facing Wei Laosan's question, Gu Huai shook his head: "Naturally, let's just count it as an insurance, General Gu has already brought the cavalry behind, and King Ning also said that he moved Duoyan Sanwei to send troops to accompany him, if the text is not good, I am afraid that in the end, I will still have to fight... If you really want to talk about it, you should have gone on the day when Songting Pass broke the city, but there were too many broken things, so it was delayed for so long. ”

When the news of the destruction of Daning City had not yet reached Songting Pass, if the cavalry attacked by surprise and cooperated with the Yan army in the pass to attack the city, it was a pity that it could be fought in one battle.

As soon as the words fell, Li Liang, who was exploring the way ahead, rushed back, and his voice was a little hoarse because of nervousness: "Big... People, there are a large number of people in front of you! Look at the banner, it's the defenders of Songting Pass! ”

……

The offensive and defensive battles of Songting Pass have not stopped these days, the Yan army in the pass always puts on a look of tackling the key problems in the next second, but every time it is not painful, the generals of Songting Pass were still very vigilant at first, but then they slowly became numb, and even were annoyed, Liu Zhen has always wondered how the Yan King, who has made great achievements, is such a virtuous person when he fights, but after the news of the fall of Daning came, he suddenly realized that he was the king of Yan.

Where the hell is to fight Songting Pass and send troops outside the pass, it is obvious that it is from Yanshan to secretly cross Chencang to fight Daning, and I don't know if those pass defenders are eating shit, but there is not a single beacon signal.

But there is no way, as a general of the imperial court, you can't just stick to Songting Pass and ignore the current Daning, right? Fortunately, the news of the lack of Yan Wang's troops in Daning City was quickly explored, and Liu Zhen thought about it for a while, and then thought of a way to break the situation.

It is inevitable to transfer troops in various passes, and Songting Pass cannot be broken, but Daning Wei and the three guards Yan Wang have not had time to get involved, as long as he moves fast enough, maybe he can surround Yan Wang to death in Daning City.

To be able to give birth to such an idea, Liu Zhen has his own considerations, he thinks that as long as he controls the senior generals of Ning Wangsan's guards, those soldiers will not be able to turn up any storms, and he is also quite confident in himself, and can control the generals of Daning Wei, after all, he is also a veteran, he inherited the military position at the end of the Yuan Dynasty and began to fight, at that time he was a high-level general in Yangzhou Wanhu, a real high-ranking general, and later he had a unique vision to defect to Zhu Yuanzhang, all the way to a thousand households, following the Lanyu Northern Expedition, and his military resume was so brilliant that he couldn't.

He has fought all his life and brought a lifetime of soldiers, and those who are the commanders of the guards have to call the old general in front of him, as long as he personally comes forward to gather his troops, do those hairy boys still dare to rebel? Those soldiers dared to die for King Ning for the little friendship before?

The idea was clear, Liu Zhen did not delay, after the dispatch of troops to arrange Songting Pass in an iron bucket, he led the troops to the station of Daning Wei and Ning Wangsan's guards, and sure enough, as he expected, the two armies were sparkling everywhere across the camp account, and they were almost about to fight, at this time he came forward to command the military power of several guards, and personally met some generals in Daning Wei, and under the persuasion of his wife, he really temporarily grasped the command of the two armies.

But he still had a heart, so many troops, it is definitely not possible to take them together to attack the city, the ghost knows if there are any fine works of King Yan and King Ning, so he carefully screened, and only brought the right guard of King Ning's three guards as the siege vanguard, and brought more than 15,000 Daning guards to stare at them, so he was relieved to open to Daning City today.

Seeing that it was getting late, Liu Zhen reined in the war horse and issued a military order: "Pass the order to go down, camp on the spot, bury the pot and make rice, early tomorrow morning, the troops will gather at three o'clock, and the three o'clock will have a meal, and after the meal, continue to rush and go straight to Daning!" ”

As soon as the military order was given, the three armies immediately set up camp on the spot, arranged camp sentry posts, bursts of cooking smoke floated up, and the old general Liu Zhen did not take off his armor or dismount, but just patrolled back and forth in the camp, personally staring at this army of uneven origins.

And on the hillside in the distance, Gu Huai, Wei Laosan and Yu Liang hid the horses far away, and were lying on the grassy slope quietly observing the movement in the camp.

Surname Long?

Yu Liang was stunned, and then excitedly pointed to the position: "Look, my lord, that camp must be Lord Long Wanlong, the commander of the right guard of King Ning's third guard!" ”

"Ning Wang's three guards?" Gu Huai was stunned for a moment, and then he was overjoyed: "Liu Zhen brought Ning Wangsan's guards over?" Then let's not risk contacting Liu Zhen and go directly to see Long Wan! ”

……

When the camp was entrenched, the non-commissioned officers who were not on duty naturally went to eat, and the non-commissioned officers who served as sentry posts could not eat for the time being, and someone had to come to change shifts before they could go over to receive food.

At the gate of the camp of the Longwan camp on the right, the two soldiers on duty stood weakly, and the thought of risking death to attack the city after that, they were almost in no mood to eat... But they immediately became vigilant, grabbed their weapons and shouted: "Stop! What for? ”

Longwan's camp was in the corner, separated by a simple fence, three herdsmen looked into the camp, two soldiers turned around and said hello, then stepped forward with weapons, Wei Laosan, who was dressed as an ordinary herdsman, shrunk his neck and said tremblingly: "We... Passing by, passing by! ”

"Passing by?" The two soldiers approached, only to find Wei Laosan's terrifying physique, my obedient... What did this man grow up eating?

"If you don't go to the village in front of you and don't have a store in the back, where are you going? What to peep into the barracks? ”

After searching the bodies of the three people, they did not carry weapons, only the strong man had a knife for cutting meat, but found many letters, and the two soldiers became suspicious and twisted the knife: "Go!" Go and meet our Lord Banner! ”

Gu Huai gave a look, Wei Laosan, who touched the knife, immediately stopped his movements, and Yu Liang also calmed down, and the three of them were escorted into the camp like this and brought to a general banner, who was still eating, and heard that the soldier said that there were sneaky people approaching the military camp, and he wanted to wave his hand to kill him directly, but he picked up a letter and looked at it twice, and his face changed: "Who are you?" ”

At this time, Yu Liang spoke: "You are... Lord Deng Mao Deng? ”

The general flag was surprised: "You recognize me? ”

Yu Liang nodded hurriedly: "Lord Deng lives by the city gate, how can the younger brother not know him?" Lord Zongqi has forgotten that the younger brother is the one who guards the south gate! The adults carry leather goods at home, and the younger brother often makes it convenient..."

"It's you!" Deng Mao blinked, obviously thinking about it, but then he was shocked to drop the chopsticks: "I'm a mother... Xu Xiaoqi! Isn't Daning City broken? How do you dress up like this? ”

Yu Liang struggled to get up, leaned into his ear and whispered a few words, Deng Mao was shocked: "Is this serious? ”

"How can the little brother dare to deceive Lord Deng for this kind of thing? Lord Deng, why don't you take your younger brother to meet Commander Long? When the time comes, it will become a credit to its own adults, even if it doesn't work... It's also a friendship, what do adults think? ”

Deng Mao? Gu Huai's heart moved, and he also spoke: "Lord Deng, in these letters, it seems that there is a handwritten book by Lord Lingzun, why don't you take a look?" ”

He signaled that he had no weapons, rummaged through the pile of letters, and handed over one after a while, Deng Mao took the letter, and saw that it was his father's handwriting, opened it and read it carefully, his face immediately became extremely wonderful.

Gu Huai said with a smile: "Your Excellency, rest assured, after His Royal Highness King Yan defeated Daning, he did not commit any offense against the people, but those soldiers guarding the city had many actions that harmed the people, but after learning the identities of Ling Zun and Lord Deng, His Royal Highness King Yan also specially sent soldiers to guard in front of the Zun Mansion, not allowing those remnants of the defeated soldiers to enter and disturb them, so that the Zun Ling Hall and the adults' brothers, wives and children were safe and sound." ”

Safe and sound? Surely safe and sound! It's just that how different from a hostage?

Deng Mao calmed down, put down the letter in his hand, looked at the smile on Gu Huai's face, and could only smile bitterly:

"Three, please... Come with me, I'll take you to meet Lord Takatsu, and by the way, remember to bring your letters..."
