Chapter 790: Zhongfu
Xiao Lianghu had just fallen asleep, and in his dream, it seemed that the fragrance lingering from earlier, and there was still a high bed and soft pillow under him, so that he didn't realize that he had left his homeland and was on the battlefield.
He is the youngest son of the general Xiao Yanda, his biological mother is also a Northern Liao nobleman, his identity is not humble, most of his brothers are martial arts, and he has great prestige in the Northern Liao army, but he was born a little weak, because his biological mother is favored, his father is more indulgent, blindly only knows how to spend time and drink, and his temper is only arrogant, but he does not have much ambition.
Therefore, he knew very well that the purpose of going to the battlefield with his father this time was not really to make meritorious contributions and compete with his brothers for powerful official positions, but nothing more than to rub off on a military merit and get a high-profile official position, but in fact he did not take on important responsibilities.
After all, the Xiao family can't be white, he can't be literate, and he can only enter the government in this way, so as not to become an outlier among the children of the powerful and be despised and ridiculed.
Therefore, Xiao Lianghu had no objection to his father's arrangement, and stayed in Mingzhou, which was relatively safe, very obediently, and waited for his father's class teacher to return to the dynasty to ask for credit for him.
Northern Liao was deeply influenced by the Great Zhou, and the children of the powerful gradually became contaminated with a lot of squirting style, Xiao Lianghu was in Beijing, and lived a life of dogs and horses, and when he arrived in Mingzhou, there was no group of fox friends and dog friends around him, and it was inevitable that he would feel lonely, so he tossed up in the Thorn History Mansion, so that many official prostitutes sang and danced to cheer up, drank drowsy, and went to Wushan with a beautiful woman in his arms, until he was exhausted, and then he snored and fell asleep.
Sleeping sweetly, but was woken up by a violent shaking, Xiao Lianghu's eyes have not yet opened, and he kicked the beauty who disturbed his dreams off the bed, today's Northern Liao nobles, although the skin of the Zhou women is more graceful than snow, but most of them will not really pity the fragrance and cherish the jade, but as a servant and a cheap prostitute.
Just as he was about to fall asleep again, Xiao Lianghu finally heard a rapid knock on the door, as well as Mingzhou's panicked voice.
"Adjutant General, the big thing is not good, if the adjutant general is silent again, he has to take the liberty of breaking in."
Xiao Lianghu stared hard at his sleepy eyes, only to see that the window paper was red by the firelight, he shook his head to wake himself up, put on his coat haphazardly, and opened the door.
Thorn Shi almost fell headlong in, and there was a sweat stain on his head, probably being woken up in his sleep, and he looked disheveled.
"Adjutant General, there was a sudden raid by the Great Zhou Vanguard Army outside the city, and there were tenants in the city who set fire, so that the army was in turmoil, and I am afraid that it will not last long......"
After the New Year, the vanguard army led by Major General Qingmian repeatedly raided the garrison of the state city, causing many casualties in the Pan department, but the enemy army often did not really enter the city, and withdrew as soon as it was captured.
"Look at today's momentum, the vanguard army is afraid that it is coming towards the deputy general, and now General Xiao is attacking Yunzhou City, if Mingzhou City is broken, the deputy general will be captured......" This name assassin history, of course, is even more vigilant, if Major General Xiao has a case, I am afraid that even King Anton will be unable to withstand Xiao Yanda's anger, he is a district governor, it will be difficult to atone for his sins.
The name of the blue-faced major general is really loud, and the incident happened suddenly, and it was too late to ask for help from the neighboring states, and it was even more impossible to wait for the army outside the Weize Pass to come to the rescue, and the assassin Shi panicked, and only thought of one way: "Fortunately, the vanguard army is only focused on attacking the south city gate, and the deputy general has two thousand personal guards, Mo Ruo quickly withdrew from the north city gate under the protection of the personal guards, as long as he enters Xingzhou, he will be safe!" ”
Xiao Lianghu was born since he was born, where has he experienced such a dangerous situation, and he was also a little panicked for a while: "Are you sure there are no ambushes at the North Gate?" ”
How can this be determined? Thorn Shi opened his mouth, where did he think that there were more than 100,000 troops outside Weize Pass to fight with the Marquis of Wuwei, but the Great Zhou Pioneer Department silently killed Mingzhou? When he heard the bad news, he was also panicked, but he sent people to the north gate to look, and found that there was no enemy army outside, but there was no guarantee that there was no one to set up an ambush.
At this moment, there were people again, but it was the South Gate that was about to be broken through by the vanguard army!!
Xiao Lianghu didn't dare to hesitate anymore, even though he was incompetent, he also understood what the consequences would be if he was captured, rather than sit back and wait for death, it was better to gamble on that way of life.
Outside the Assassin's Mansion, there was already a burst of fire, although there was no enemy killing, but it also made people frightened, two thousand guards guarded Xiao Lianghu tightly, and a group of people and horses went straight to the north gate.
Although the city gate was opened, no trace of the enemy was found, but he still arranged a team of 100 people to explore the road and rushed forward for 20 miles, and did not encounter an ambush, so he protected Xiao Lianghu, who was like a lost dog, and withdrew to Xingzhou.
He Ye had been waiting in a peak forest on the side of the post road for a long time.
Earlier, seeing the flames in the city and the faint sound of killing, Liu Yan knew that another 5,000 people had already attacked, and he was still a little worried: "There are 8,000 defenders, and our siege is only 5,000 people, can it really cause a critical situation?" ”
"Pan Bo's 8,000 troops stationed in Mingzhou are just to prevent reinforcements from Yuxia Pass from outflanking Xiangwei Ze Pass, the use of the outpost, not an elite, he didn't expect that we would sneak attack Mingzhou at this time, Xiao Yanda left his son here, and he also thought that Mingzhou had nothing to do with the war situation, so there would be no danger, and where did he think that the news would leak out? Don't worry, don't say that the vanguard army is 5,000 brave, but in fact, it only takes 3,000 to catch Mingzhou off guard. ”
"But if that Xiao Lianghu doesn't plan to flee to the north gate...... "Liu Yan is actually more willing to participate in the siege battle, because in his opinion, the ambush here is very likely to fail.
But since His Royal Highness the King of Jin is determined to lead the army to ambush, of course Liu Yan must not leave an inch to protect the nearest one, and the safety of this person can be related to the success or failure of the great cause, and it is by no means comparable to a mere Xiao Lianghu.
"Although I don't know what kind of temperament Xiao Lianghu is, but think about it, if he is really a brave warrior, since he has already gone out with his father, how can he be willing to stay in Mingzhou? Therefore, I conclude that he must be a useless wreck, where will he live and die with Mingzhou City, and personally lead the army to kill the enemy? Na Mingzhou Assassin History, must have expected that our raid this time was aimed at Xiao Lianghu, and he didn't dare to take the risk, leaving Xiao Lianghu in the city and waiting for us to catch turtles in the urn. ”
He Ye was confident, but suddenly lowered his voice: "There is movement." ”
However, he did not give the order to attack, but listened prostrate for a while: "It should be a horse, don't startle the snake." ”
Sure enough, after this team of more than 100 people passed safely, there was a louder hoof sound that broke the silence every other moment.
"About two thousand horsemen, this time it should be the prey in the net!" He Ye suddenly jumped up, drew his bow with an arrow, and the moonlight shone under the bronze mask, and his deep eyes and cold killing intent were suddenly lit up by the moonlight.
Two hundred rode over, and the blue-faced major general shot a terrible sound.
And in the dark place of the peak forest, there are suddenly rockets like nets, scattered all over the post road.
The sound of the horse was hissing, and the sound of killing shook the sky.
The commander of the Northern Liao, knowing that his master was not good at riding and shooting, and it was impossible for him to break through alone, so he had to order hundreds of guards to firmly surround him, and dozens of shields blocked Xiao Lianghu tightly.
He was about to kill, but suddenly felt an inexplicable chill climb up his spine, and he knew what it meant.
Behind him, a huge threat is coming.
But he only had time to turn around, and felt that the cold killing intent was like a secret net, under the hood.
He didn't even know where the deadly cold sword came from, and suddenly he was in front of him, and subconsciously blocked it with a long knife, but suddenly felt a pain in his neck.
Piercing blood, tossed in the firelight.
Only then did he see the man who was sneering, the bronze hood on his face.
"Major General Greenface!" These were the last words he left in the world.
And Xiao Lianghu was already frightened by the sudden ambush, and squatted with his head in his hands, until the sound of swords around him gradually calmed down, until the last corpse fell beside him.
The firelight illuminated the moonlit night as bright as day, and Xiao Lianghu finally saw a pair of blood-stained boots, which stayed in his sight.
A long sword, "gently" attached to his neck, followed by an arrogant mockery: "This is the deputy general of Northern Liao?" Scared to pee your pants? It's ridiculous that Xiao Yanda I is famous, and he has such a scumbag son! Presumably, Xiao Yanda is also in vain! ”
"Megalomaniacs!" Xiao Lianghu, who was trembling originally, was unexpectedly angered by this ridicule, and even ignored the cold sword on his neck, intending to rush forward and fight against the disrespectful person.
Of course, he was easily subdued, and knelt on the spot in humiliation.
Xiao Lianghu looked at the madman who insulted his father, but he saw that it was only a young man in his twenties, and beside him, there was a man with black armor and a bronze face, but he stared coldly and said nothing.
