It's night, the Golden Palace.

"It's messy, it's messy, it's all messed up!"

In the brightly lit council hall, looking at the flags of the enemy and the enemy on the sand table in front of them, all the big gold ministers had ugly faces and numb scalps.

Originally, everything was normal, but as the 200,000 troops of the last two battalions were inserted from the east and west sides to attack the two flanks of the summer army attacking the Rigu camp, chaos began to appear.

The enemy pinned down the rear two battalions with two cavalry bands, and then withdrew all the troops attacking the remaining four battalions and swarmed in the direction of the Rigaya battalion.

Faced with this situation, the soldiers and horses of the other four camps had to follow out.

Because if they didn't move, the more than 300,000 troops gathered in the direction of the Ligu camp would definitely be swallowed up by the Great Xia army!

This price, no matter who it is, is impossible to bear!

After all, once these 300,000 troops are wiped out, then their only way forward is to retreat from defeat!

However, with the movement of the soldiers and horses of the four large battalions, the enemy army instead adopted a puzzling tactic of dividing troops, dividing the various armies into several or even a dozen units, and pulling out a seemingly disorderly and messy net on the huge battlefield.

As for the four battalions of Daikin troops, some adopted a conservative strategy and continued to advance steadily, but some adopted corresponding measures to divide their troops and keep a close eye on every movement of the enemy's army.

And this is where the important ministers of the Dajin Center in front of him have a headache.

In such a chaotic situation, it was difficult for them to find out the true intentions of the Great Xia army, let alone put forward effective countermeasures to the front line in a timely manner, and issue various orders in a timely manner.

"Your Majesty has arrived~"

With a shout, the ministers in the hall barely collected their mood and bowed their heads to Wan Yan Song, who walked in quickly.

"Your Majesty."

Wan Yan Song waved his hand, and since he entered the main hall, his eyes have never left the horizontal sand table in the hall.

"What's the current situation? What about Yan Xiaojun and Jin Gejun? Have they ever been in battle? ”

"Back to Your Majesty, the current battle situation has entered a semi-out of control state, and the distribution of the enemy and us is extremely chaotic, and there is almost no order to speak of."

A white-bearded old minister stood up and introduced the situation to Wan Yan Song with a serious expression.

"As for Yan Xiaojun and Jin Gejun, although they are late, they arrived. According to the reply from two quarters of an hour ago, they had infiltrated twenty miles behind the rear of the Central Army in Great Xia. ”

"It's just that the enemy army has arranged a lot of scattered sentinels in the rear, and the two armies of Yan Xiao and Jin Ge are currently sending elite squads to hunt and kill."

"But if you want to clear the enemy's eyes and ears and successfully kill the opponent's Chinese army from behind, I'm afraid it will take about an hour......"

Hearing the old minister's response, Wan Yansong frowned.

"They're too cautious too!"

After snorting coldly, Wan Yan Song turned to ask, "What about the ghost cavalry of the enemy army?" Have you ever found it? ”

"Back to Your Majesty, there is no news at the moment. The enemy's cavalry has not shown any trace since it slaughtered a baggage detachment of our army near Leyang County three days ago. ”

Wan Yansong's eyes narrowed slightly, and he said coldly: "No matter which side the success or failure of this battle is, it will have a great impact. In such a crucial battle, it is impossible for the enemy's cavalry not to participate! ”

"Where is the front, is this cavalry taken into account?"

"Your Majesty, rest assured, the hussar general has long considered the threat of this cavalry, so he has been leaving the hundreds of thousands of troops in Jugui City in the city to wait for the day, in case the enemy cavalry raids!"

Hearing the answer, Wan Yansong breathed a sigh of relief.

The Great Xia cavalry that came and went without a trace was like a sharp thorn stuck in his throat, making it difficult for him to sleep.

He had always been worried that the other party would suddenly give them a ruthless blow, and today, his mood was particularly restless.

Considering the criticality of the front-line battle situation, he naturally thought that the cavalry would be thrown into the battlefield and stab Dajin in the back!

Therefore, when he heard that He Taichong had made effective preventive measures, Wan Yansong's heart was relieved a lot.

……

The east gate of the Great Golden Emperor's capital.

On the tower of the city gate, a middle-aged man wearing the armor of a school captain and with a bloated body was standing by the city wall and constantly looking out.

His name is Liu Wuqi, and he is the captain of the East City Gate who is responsible for the defense of the East City Gate of the Imperial Capital.

"Captain, I've been looking at you for most of the day, what are you looking at?"

A military Sima led the team back from the inspection, and when he saw Liu Wuqi's appearance of looking around, he couldn't help but ask curiously.

Liu Wuqi's expression tightened, and then he quickly relaxed, and said casually: "It's nothing, look at the birds." ”

"Bird watching?"

The military Sima glanced at the dark night sky, and saw that there was not a single bird in sight, so he immediately walked to Liu Wuqi's side suspiciously.

"Captain, it's so dark, can you still see the birds?"

When the words fell, Jun Sima was stunned again, looking at the fine beads of sweat on Liu Wuqi's forehead and looking surprised.

"Captain, you're... Hot? Why do you sweat so much? ”

Liu Wuqi's body stiffened, and he felt that his heart was about to jump out of his throat.

At that moment, Liu Wuqi was murderous in his heart, but in the end, he still pressed it down.

Although this Zhang Teng is only a military horse, he is the cousin of the military department, and it is very likely that something bad will happen to kill him rashly.

After his eyes changed rapidly, Liu Wuqi grinned, grabbed Zhang Teng's shoulders and walked to the inside of the city gatehouse.

"You kid's eyes are so sharp! That's it, since it was discovered, the captain of the school didn't pretend to be either. ”

"I'll tell you the truth, I have a batch of smuggling goods to enter the city, this, you know......"

Hearing Liu Wuqi's explanation, Zhang Teng sneered in his heart.

He knew he hadn't done anything good!

Liu Wuqi is greedy, and he has made a lot of money over the years.

That's it, but when is it?

At this juncture, Liu Wuqi is still doing this kind of thing, even if he doesn't expose it today, sooner or later something will happen in the future!

However, what Zhang Teng didn't know was that Liu Wuqi had actually had an accident, and it was precisely because of the original sin of greed.

It's just that the person who will suffer from this kind of accident is probably not Liu Wuqi......

"Captain, you're ......"

Liu Wuqi pressed Zhang Teng's shoulder and broke it, and stretched out two fingers at the same time.

"Good brother! As long as you don't say it, I promise that I will give you 20% of the profits from this time! ”

Zhang Teng frowned, and said unhappily: "Captain, you have a low position, you don't dare to get involved in this kind of headless thing!" ”

Liu Wuqi gritted his teeth, hunched over and turned his two fingers into three.

"Sancheng! Sancheng is already a lot, brother, you must know that this kind of work is not something I can do alone, and the person who divides the jade cake is either rich or expensive......"

"Moreover, Brother Wei doesn't need you to do anything, and he won't pull you into the water, I just hope you pretend not to know, that's all."

"Good brother, help!"

Hearing this, Zhang Teng's expression moved slightly, and he did not rush to refuse, but showed a thoughtful look.

Seeing that Zhang Teng seemed to be a little moved, Liu Wuqi took a step further and added another fire.

"Brother, this time the private goods are not simple, and in the same way, the oil and water are also unimaginably rich! Do you know how much of this is there? ”

Zhang Teng looked up at Liu Wuqi and said expressionlessly: "One hundred taels? Five hundred taels? ”

Liu Wuqi shook his head, and said with a smile: "Three thousand taels!" ”

Zhang Teng was shocked, his eyes widened and he stared at Liu Wuqi in disbelief.

One achievement is three thousand taels, and those three achievements are nine thousand taels of gold!

He's not dreaming, is he?

You must know that the annual tax payment of a small county town is only about 10,000 taels of gold!

It's horrible!

No wonder, no wonder Liu Wuqi dared to risk killing his head and do such a thing!

Zhang Teng's heart was pounding, and I had to admit that he was really moved!

What's more, he doesn't have to mix it directly.

After thinking about it, Zhang Teng finally didn't resist the temptation, gritted his teeth and nodded.

"Good! But only once! ”

"Don't worry, I've made a lot of money over the years, and I'm fed up with this kind of daily worry. After this vote, I will give up. So, brother, you can rest assured! ”

Liu Wuqi smiled and patted Zhang Teng's shoulder.

A quarter of an hour later, when a caravan of eight hundred knights escorted the carriage with dozens of large boxes to the other end of the moat, Zhang Teng's face couldn't help but change.

"Captain! You ......"

Liu Wuqi laughed, shook his head and said, "I said brother, what's so strange about this?" The profits are so rich, how can there be less power and goods to guard? ”

Zhang Teng couldn't help choking, and after turning his head and seeing the scene where the garrison soldiers were not inspected at all and were directly released, anger appeared on his face again.

"They, even omitted to make a appearance?"

Liu Wuqi shook his head and sighed: "Brother, if you don't look at the sign on the carriage, who would dare to check it carefully?" ”

Zhang Teng looked closely, and when he found the sign of the drizzle building, his face changed again.

"That one, is he one of them?"

Liu Wuqi smiled reluctantly and did not speak.

The drizzle building under the command of the fifth princess is indeed doing this kind of business, but it is very cautious and has little to do with him.

This logo is just borrowed.

When Zhang Teng was shocked and was spontaneously stunned, the "caravan" had already stepped on the long iron chain bridge and began to march towards the tall, wide, and deep city gate.

At this moment, Liu Wuqi's heart directly rose to his throat, for fear of an accident at the last critical moment!

After a few breaths, a rapid alarm bell suddenly sounded from the watchtower.

At the same time, the earth began to tremble slightly, and a faint rumbling sound could be heard from afar.

"What's going on?!"

"This is a warning to a massive army of unknown origin!"

"No, there is no army around the imperial capital, and even if there is, it will be reported in advance, this ......"

"Could it be the Great Xia cavalry?"

"Oh my God! It can't be the ghost cavalry, right?! ”

Faced with the sudden warning and the rumbling of horses' hooves, the city was in chaos.

But Liu Wuqi, who was the captain of Dongchengmen, relaxed instead, and a relieved smile appeared in his eyes.

It is true that he is the captain of the city gate, but if he wants to let a large-scale cavalry of unknown origin enter the city, he can't do it, let alone directly lead his men to treason!

After all, his prestige is limited, and his control over the army under him is not too strong.
