Chapter 442: Returning to the King's Golden Stage
Early in the morning of August 16th.
One after another, more than a dozen scouts and spies with the army returned to the camp of the three armies, and they reported all the information they had found to Li Yanhe.
They were all assigned by Li Yanhe yesterday to investigate the surrounding situation and find out the news in the eastern capital.
In the process of reporting to these scouts and spies, Guan Xiao and the leading escort also entered the main account together.
With this information, the three of them finally knew the reason why the Dark Night Rider did not rush to Ci.
At this moment, it is located in the northeast of the eastern capital, on top of many hills, and an army of no less than 60,000 Rao has been stationed.
The Dark Night Rider, who was supposed to rush to the aid of the cluster yesterday, was attacked by the mysterious army halfway.
Li Yanhe, who heard the news, stood up and paced back and forth in the main tent alone, his eyes looking at the outside of the tent from time to time.
Guan Xiao opened his mouth and said: "General Li has a guess about the origin of this army? ”
Li Yanhe said: "Judging from the news we have traveled along the way, the subordinates of the six kings should only be in charge of the general's faction, and the rest will be liquidated..."
Guan Xiao responded: "When we went south, the same was true of the news we found... Where are these more than 60,000 people hiding, so that they can not be discovered by the night riders, and even appear quietly in the area of the Eastern Capital..."
When the two hesitated, the leading escort of the Eastern Capital spoke up.
"When I rode into the city at night before, I had intended to show General Wang that they had pacified Hedong and Henan, and only Hebei remained..."
When Li Yanhe heard this, he immediately recalled the description of the armor of the mysterious army by a scout just now.
He turned to look at the scout who had just spoken, and asked, "What kind of armor do those soldiers wear?" Say it again..."
The scout was slightly stunned, but quickly repeated the armor style he had casually mentioned earlier in front of the three of them.
The armor worn by those soldiers was thicker than that of the soldiers in the Central Plains, and the joints were made of fur.
Guan Xiao subconsciously said loudly: "Could it be Xiao Baoli's Liaoyuan Army?" ”
As this guess was spoken, the leading escort's body trembled directly, and he also had a little guess in his heart.
After all, at this moment, while meeting the description of the scout, the army that can still come and go freely in the pass is only the Liaoyuan army that stepped on the snow marquis.
Li Yanhe shook his head and said, "General Guan is afraid that he has forgotten, the Marquis of Taxue has already gone south, and he can't go here at this moment." ”
Guan Xiao naturally knew this news, but now he wanted to break his head, and he couldn't think of anyone who could hide so many soldiers and horses and not be discovered by the Dark Night Horse.
You must know that he took these two thousand armor soldiers all the way across the mountains and rivers, and he didn't know how many state cities he avoided along the way, so that he could travel safely and steadily.
How difficult is it to let 60,000 soldiers and horses appear here quietly?
Guan Xiao laughed miserably: "It seems that there are not only the King of Hanchuan and the Marquis of Taxue in the hot sun today, but also the masters hiding in the ranks, and my reputation as 'the young man in the world' is a joke..."
Li Yanhe shook his head and said, "Each has its own strengths, and General Guan doesn't need to be ashamed of himself..."
At the same time as the two spoke, a soldier outside the tent shouted.
"General Li, there are people outside the camp who claim to be the King of Northern Yan... With the army scouts, there is something important to discuss with the camp master! ”
King of Northern Yan?
When did the Yanyang Dynasty ever have the title of vassal king?
The king surnamed Xia, who previously commanded the Guannai and Hedong areas, was named "King Yan".
Legend has it that this king of Yan was murderous and liked to torture others, and in his own vassal palace, such as servants and maidservants, as long as he was upset, he would immediately kill a few people.
In Guan Xiao's eyes, among the six feudal kings surnamed Xia, this King Yan really deserves to die.
Now that the King of Yan is dead, there is a King of Northern Yan...
So this army of unknown origin could be the forces that its descendants have secretly assembled?
When Guan Xiao was still thinking, Li Yanhe had already shouted.
"Just get that person in your account as soon as possible!"
After that, he looked back at Guan Xiao and the leading escort.
Li Yanhe looked at the faces of the two of them, both with puzzled expressions, and he laughed loudly.
"We don't need to guess, it seems that people are going to find us in person, and they plan to report their own home!"
Guan Xiao immediately reacted, it was the army of unknown origin, and they were the first to send people here!
It didn't take long for a soldier wearing armor to enter the main tent of the three armies.
Without waiting for Li Yanhe or Guan Xiao to speak, the person identified himself.
"In Xia Nai, the king of Beiyan belongs, the commander of the fourth battalion said goodbye, and I have seen three generals!"
Li Yanhe clenched his fists and said: "Since Commander Yan can find our army scouts and rush to the cluster, I think he has already figured out our details, right?" ”
said goodbye and returned the salute, looked at the three of them and said loudly: "General Li Yanhe, the guard general of Jiannan Rongcheng, General Guan Xiao of Hebei Heishui Mansion, and one of the henchmen of General Wang Chong, there should be nothing wrong with it, right?" ”
Li Yanhe nodded first, and the other two were a little puzzled, what was the meaning of his dialogue with the Rao in front of him?
The three armies of their army met so far, first there was a conflict between Guan and Wang Errao, and then after Li Yanhe entered the game, he was able to calm the war situation.
As long as they probe a little these days, who doesn't know the details of their three raoes?
However, Guan Xiaosheng reviewed extremely quickly, and quickly tasted Li Yanhe's unspoken meaning.
What he meant...
Now that we know the details, why not tell you the details, after all, only by being honest with each other can we have the possibility of cooperation.
As far as other replies are concerned, they are quite realistic.
I tell everything I know, and I don't say anything about "I don't know".
For example, Li Yanhe "didn't know" about the fact that he was holding the Sun-raising Flag, and he would not say anything.
Li Yanhe spoke up again: "Then I want to ask the commander of the Yan, where does the word 'north' of the King of Northern Yan come from?" ”
Yan Bei raised his hand against the position of the breastplate, and said: "Before King Yan went to Xijing, we received instructions to secretly go north and hide on the grassland. ”
Guan Xiaoyan said: "So the king of Northern Yan in the mouth of the commander of Yan is still the king of Yan in the past Guannei and Hedong?" ”
Farewell answered: "That's right! Although His Royal Highness King Yan is dead, we are still his most brave generals, and we must seek justice for him! ”
At this point, the intentions of him or the mysterious army are clear.
Empress Su in the Imperial City of Xijing, His Royal Highness King Yan who killed them, then they have to raise the anti-flag, let the Empress Su take a good look, what is Yanyang orthodoxy!
Guan Xiao's heart moved slightly, and the corners of his mouth trembled slightly.
How could he not be? In order to repay the kindness of King Wu's acquaintance, why he led the troops here?
Report the king's intention on the golden platform, and carry the jade dragon to die for the king!
He opened his mouth and said, "Then the commander of Yan is here today, but he wants to discuss the siege of the city?" ”
Yan Bei nodded and said: "That's right, although there are many people in the dark night, as long as we attack together, with the cooperation of both sides, it will not be a problem to take the east!" ”
Listening to the tone of this Yan commander, the unspoken leader and escort among the four people became a little entangled.
Li Yanhe noticed the other party's expression, and said loudly: "Now in the eastern capital, there are still most of the original defenders, and we still need to find ways to reduce the casualties for them, these people are all helping the thieves to go west!" ”
How could he not hear what Li Yanhe meant, but he had no intention of looking at the leading escort at all.
"General Li should also know that there can't be such a woman's kindness on this battle array..."
Among the three armies, the defenders of the Eastern Capital, he had already seen them all when he marched into the military tent before.
Most of them were defeated, and even this leading escort had no intention of fighting for power.
In the siege battles in the future, why care about the life and death of those defenders of the eastern capital?
Li Yanhe said lightly: "It seems that we are still a little different from Commander Yan, or a little different from your Northern Yan King..."
Yan Bei's eyes narrowed slightly, and he asked: "What does General Li mean by this?" With just the three of you, don't you want to persuade you to surrender while attacking the city? ”
Li Yanhe said: "I have Your Majesty personally gave the Sun Raising Order Flag in the early years, and I should have commanded all the armies at a critical moment, and at the same time I had to ensure the safety of all the armies. ”
Yan Bei said coldly: "I'm afraid that General Li can't even command the command flag in his hand, and he still wants to give orders to the people stationed in the Eastern Capital at this moment?" ”
Li Yanhe said loudly: "If you don't listen now, just hit them until they are obedient!" ”
Yan Bei asked rhetorically: "This is also for us?" ”
"Commander Yan can think so!"
"Li Yanhe, you are only more than 20,000 people, and you dare to say such nonsense?"
"Commander Yan and the people behind him who served the King of Northern Yan have so many troops, aren't they still trapped outside the Eastern Capital?"
"You... It's a big breath! ”
Li Yanhe put his hands behind his back and quietly looked at the Yan Commander in front of him, his face calm as usual.
Without Li Yanhe's idea of continuing to argue, he turned around and walked outside the tent, and finally glanced at the leading escort.
When Guan Xiao was talking to the two, he couldn't interject a word at all.
watched the other party gradually walk away, and then muttered.
"I didn't expect that General Li would have such a temper... It's really admirable to Guan..."
And the leading escort was more than just words, and solemnly saluted Li Yanhe with both hands in fists.
Li Yanhe said loudly: "What do these people in the name of King Qin think in their hearts... We don't know yet, and we can't easily join them. ”
Guan Xiao responded: "I was touched by his words before, and it was Guan Mou's gaffe..."
Li Yanhe waved his hand and said loudly: "It's okay, as long as you know their origin today!" ”
The three of them looked at the other and stopped paying attention to the people who were far away.
Li Yanhe naturally didn't let anyone stop Yan from going the other way, so he let him leave safely.
