Chapter 531, Start Action
An Bing's heart moved, and she felt that her niece's words were also reasonable, and now that the situation is like this, why be too impatient.
An Qian saw An Bing's expression in her eyes, knowing that her words had an effect, and couldn't help but make up her mind, and said, "If the imperial court really sweeps away the rebellion, it's not too late for us to start seizing the Sword Pavilion again." On the contrary, if we bet too early, the situation on the battlefield has actually changed, but at that time we offended the Liao side, I am afraid that it will be too late to regret it! An Bing nodded, "What you said makes sense." Glancing at Anxi, "So what do you think we should do, should we wait until the battlefield in the east is over?" Anqian said: "Don't wait until the dust settles, just wait until everything is a foregone conclusion and there is no possibility of change, and then decide how to act!" ”
An Bing frowned and said, "Isn't this situation a foregone conclusion now?" ”
Ann Qian also felt that this was indeed the case, but now she just wanted to delay time, so she hurriedly said: "That Cao family brother is famous, and Ding Gao is just a waste who deceives the world and steals his reputation!" Although the strength of the two sides is very different, it is really strange to say that the Cao brothers were defeated so quickly, maybe, maybe ......"
An Bing frowned and said, "What you mean, maybe the Cao family brothers used the trick of luring the enemy to go deeper!" I'm afraid it's not, even Yicheng has been lost, how can it be to lure the enemy deeper? I think the big picture has been decided! When Anqian saw her uncle say this, she was anxious and hurriedly said, "What Uncle said is very true! Naturally, my uncle's knowledge is much higher than that of my niece! However, after all, the imperial army has not yet launched an attack on Xiangyang, what is the outcome, maybe there is still the possibility of change, why should my uncle be in a hurry, it is better to take a look! An Bing hesitated, and An Qian looked at him with a blank eye, very anxious.
An Bing nodded, "What you said has some truth, let's take a look!" When Annecy heard this, she breathed a sigh of relief. An Bing said to An Qian: "Although this matter is pressed for the time being, it is not to give up, you have to make some preparations in advance, so as not to be caught off guard!" Anqian hurriedly agreed.
Anqian came out of the study and met An Yuan, who was rushing towards her, her brows furrowed slightly, and then a smile appeared on her face. An Yuanxing rushed to Anqian and said with infinite joy: "I heard that my cousin is here, and the foolish brother threw everything down to see my cousin!" ”
Anqian was a little impatient in her heart, and said with a forced smile: "Brother, don't delay serious things for the sake of the little sister, don't worry about the little sister, let's be busy with yourself!" An Yuan said very sincerely: "My cousin is here, and the foolish brother has to let go of something big!" Anqian laughed dryly, suddenly remembered something, and asked, "How did I do the things I told you?" ”
An Yuan hurriedly said: "I was about to inform my cousin that the matter had just been completed." Anqian was overjoyed, and then thought that when she came just now, she passed by the door of the Luojia Chamber of Commerce, and she didn't see anything unusual, and she couldn't help but wonder, "Are you lying to me, I just passed by the Luojia Chamber of Commerce, and I didn't see anything unusual?" ”
An Yuan hurriedly said: "That's the case, I didn't alarm my father, but asked Brother Qing Shui Pao's chief scoop to do this." ”
Anqian suddenly realized and muttered, "It's okay not to alarm my uncle." An Yuan nodded thoughtfully, and said, "Brother Fool thinks so too, so I went to find Boss Tu!" Ancy nodded and asked, "Where is she locked up now?" Yasuhara said: "It's closed in the clear water shop outside the city!" "The so-called Qingshuipu is a riverside town only a dozen miles away from Chengdu, with picturesque scenery and the location of the general rudder of Qingshui Pao.
Anqian said with some concern: "Won't Elder Tu tell my uncle about this?" Yasuhara said: "Cousin, don't worry, I have already explained, this matter is not a big deal, he will not tell his father!" Cousin, what should I do with these people? ”
Anqian thought of the scene between Luo Yanran and Yang Peng, and couldn't help but be jealous, and she couldn't help but be jealous, and she couldn't wait to kill her. However, after thinking about it, I was worried that if this matter was found out by the eldest brother, I was afraid that I would not be able to explain it. For a while, the two emotions clashed and stirred in the chest, and I couldn't make up my mind. Seeing that his cousin's face was full of hatred for a while, and worried for a while, he hesitated, panicked, and couldn't help but feel strange, and couldn't help asking, "Cousin, do you have any troubles?" ”
Anqian came back to her senses in shock, and said angrily: "What can I worry about!" Yasuhara sighed and didn't dare to ask again, so as not to make his cousin angry. Anqian advised: "You go and tell Boss Tu to treat them well, don't offend!" An Yuan responded, and then said with a look of hope: "Cousin, the foolish brother you explained has been done, and our marriage is ......" An Qian was disgusted in her heart, but said with a smile on her face: "Little sister has not forgotten!" When this matter is dealt with now, we will talk about it properly! ”
Yasuhara was disappointed and said hurriedly; "What else is important right now?"
Anqian sighed, "Just now, my uncle explained some things, saying that it was very important and asked me to do it wholeheartedly!" Therefore, the matter between us can only be postponed for the time being! When An Yuan heard that his father had explained the matter, he was extremely depressed, and couldn't help muttering: "Father is really, what do you always do to do things!" Anqian smiled: "This is my uncle's trust in me, you should be happy!" Yasuhara understood what Anqian meant, was very pleased, and nodded vigorously, "Yes, yes!" ”
Anqian said softly: "Okay, you go and do what I explained, I will also do what my uncle explained!" ”
An Yuan answered, and prepared to leave. Suddenly remembering something, he stopped and asked suspiciously, "I heard that you let some men live in your mansion, what is going on?" An Qian glanced at An Yuan and said angrily, "Are you jealous?" Seeing her light and angry appearance, Yasuhara was drunk and fascinated when he landed. An Qian said: "They are the secret envoys of the Liao State, and I arranged them with me for the sake of secrecy!" Yasuhara showed a look of sudden realization, and the doubts in his heart disappeared immediately. Anqian said angrily: "You don't trust me at all, it's so disappointing to me!" ”
An Yuan was shocked, and hurried to make amends, don't look at this son-in-law of the Xuanfu Envoy, who is rich and talented, and he is talented in poetry, but at the moment he looks clumsy. Anqian despised in her heart, but she softened her expression and said, "Since you like me, you have to believe me, otherwise what does it mean for me to marry you?" Yasuhara blamed himself again and again, looking like he was heartbroken and regretful, and then he kept swearing that all the gods and Buddhas in the sky had been moved out by him.
Anqian didn't bother to rub shoulders with him here, and said, "I'm leaving." Yasuhara showed a reluctant look, but Anqian turned around and left without hesitation. Yasuhara looked at Anqian's back for a while, thinking of what Anqian had explained, and hurried to go.
When Anqian returned to the gate of her house, she saw Chen Xiao leaving with his team, and couldn't help but be surprised, and hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Big brother, where are you going?" You're going back, are you? ”
Yang Peng smiled and said, "We went out for some business, and we will come back tomorrow." Anqian was relieved when she heard this, and immediately said, "Big brother, I'll go with you!" Yang Peng said: "This is a little inappropriate, you just stay at home!" There was an irresistible majesty in the plain words, and Anxi subconsciously didn't dare to say anything more.
Yang Peng rode his horse and galloped, followed closely by hundreds of secret guards. An Qian looked at Yang Peng's back, and muttered in her heart: "He is a fierce general of Yanyun, I'm afraid I will do something this time." As soon as I thought about it, I couldn't help but worry.
Yang Peng led hundreds of his guards to run out of the north city gate, it was already dusk at this time, the mountains in the distance reflected a golden halo, and the pedestrians and merchants who wanted to enter the city stepped up, they wanted to enter the city before the city gate was closed; The peasants, who had been busy all day, drove their oxen and ploughed home, and the village was filled with smoke and the barking of dogs mixed with the anxious call of their mothers.
Yang Peng and his party went straight north, and half an hour later, when the sky was completely dark, they entered a dark forest. A large group of black shadows greeted them and came to Yang Peng and the others. Although Yang Peng couldn't see the appearance of the person in front of him, he knew that she was Yan Ji based on her tall and graceful silhouette.
Sure enough, Yan Ji's voice came: "Childe, I was ordered to transfer all the people from Hua Xu." "Good, how many are there?" "Time was in a hurry, only about five hundred people came." Yang Peng nodded and said, "Enough!" Yan Ji, come here! As he spoke, he walked under the camphor tree on the side, and Yan Ji followed. Yang Peng took out a simple drawing from his arms, and the secret guard next to him had already lit a fire fold, and the light was shining, just enough to illuminate the drawing. The drawing seemed to be a top-down view of a town, and although it was simple, the main points were already shown.
Yang Peng pointed to the woods and official roads around the town, and said, "Hua Xu's people are lying in ambush around the town to prevent anyone from escaping and asking for help. I'll do the raid on the town myself. That's the plan, got it? Yan Ji nodded. Yang Peng turned his head to look at Hua Xu's people and asked, "They don't know my identity, do they?" Yan Ji shook her head and said, "I don't know." "Well, you just tell them that I'm a Yanyun warrior." "Yes." "Alright, act now, and settle the battle before dawn!" "Yes!"
Yang Peng returned to the horse, turned over on the horse, and led his men to gallop towards the east. Yan Ji led Hua Xu and the others to follow closely behind. An hour later, the group climbed a hill, only to see a small town in front of them, the lights are lit, the green mountains and green waters depend on each other, it is a very beautiful place.
Patrols can be faintly seen around the town, and there are many sentinels scattered in the town, and a small town is so heavily guarded.
Yang Peng said to the captain of the secret guard squad beside him: "Send someone to investigate." The squad leader said yes and ran down, and then saw six black shadows leave the hillside and quickly approach the town. About half an hour later, the six people sent to reconnoiter returned, marking the locations of the patrol and the sentry on the top view in front of Yang Peng. Yang Peng immediately divided the 100 guards into 20 teams and carefully assigned the task, and then the 20 teams of guards left the hillside and disappeared into the night.
Hua Xu and everyone watched from the side, and those Jianghu characters who had just defected to Hua Xu were very curious, and one of the middle-aged people asked Yan Ji in a low voice: "Miss, what is that Yang Gongzi doing?" Yan Ji said: "You will know later, you don't need to ask more, just do what you are told!" The middle-aged man promised, glanced at the town under the mountain, his eyes showed a look of curiosity and consideration, although he didn't know the specific identity of that Yang Gongzi, but he knew that Yang Gongzi and his subordinates must be Yanyun elite, he wanted to see what the legendary Yanyun elite was capable of? Maybe they can't do it, and they'll have to let their gang clean up the situation! At that time, his gang will show their faces, and King Yan may be rewarded greatly! Thinking of the smugness, the middle-aged man couldn't help but smile.
The more than 500 Huaxu warriors gathered by Yan Ji, except for the two hundred brought by Yan Ji from Tianjing New Town, the rest were all Sichuan gangs recruited before, and the middle-aged man who asked Yan Ji just now was the owner of the Sichuan Qingcheng Cottage, named Tong Lei, with a strong physique and a powerful appearance, and the one hundred and ten people brought by him, all of them were strong in martial arts, and this Qingcheng Cottage was the strongest of these gangs recruited by Yan Ji.
Soon after everyone saw the 100 people go down, Yang Gongzi led the remaining 200 people to follow. Yan Ji said to the leaders; "As I have just commanded, you act at once." The leaders clenched their fists and led their men down, and after a few moments, they laid an ambush in various passages and high grounds. Tong Lei led his men to ambush next to the official road in the west, where the terrain was higher and the scene in the town could be clearly seen. Tong Lei looked towards Zhendian, wanting to see how Yanyun's elite raided Zhendian.
After waiting for a while, he finally saw the movement, only to see a few flickering shadows in the dim light from a distance, and when he reacted, he found that several court sentinels under the light were gone. Tong Lei was surprised, and then found that the sentries and patrols were touched by the black shadows one after another, and each time the black shadows flashed a few times, the sentries or patrols disappeared, and in just a moment, the sentinels and patrols of the imperial court who were originally densely scattered inside and outside the town were gone, and from beginning to end, the officers and soldiers of the imperial court did not issue a single alarm! Tong Lei was shocked, he only felt incredible, and at the same time, he felt that those Yanyun elites were like ghosts, and they actually touched off so many officers and soldiers of the imperial court so silently, as if nothing had happened at this moment.
Tong Lei originally still had the heart of the test, but at this moment, the heart of the test had already become frightened, I only felt that Yan Yunjun was really worthy of the name, no wonder the rumors said that Yan Yun was the army of tigers and wolves, the elite of the world, and the soldiers were everywhere, unstoppable! Although I don't know anything else, but just this sneak attack ability, I'm afraid that no one in the world can compare! Tong Lei couldn't help but be extremely happy, feeling that his defection to Yan Yun was really the wisest decision in his life, and his loyalty to Yan Yun had unconsciously increased a few points.
At this time, Tong Lei saw that Yang Gongzi personally led the team to rush into Zhendian. A moment later, the sound of killing suddenly rose in the town, and the sound of weapons colliding and shouting and screaming were intertwined, which was particularly thrilling under the night! Tong Lei couldn't help but get nervous. However, the killing sound in the town only lasted for a cup of tea and then fell silent, Tong Lei was surprised, and said secretly: Is it over? It can't be, right? There are still three or four hundred officers and soldiers in the town!
Soon after, they received orders to enter the town immediately to carry money, food, and supplies. Tong Lei was surprised, and hurriedly asked the person who came to give the order: "Brother, is the battle in Zhendian over?" "Yes." Then he turned around and went. Tong Lei was stunned for a moment, came back to his senses, and hurriedly led his brothers into the town. Immediately, under the guidance of hidden killing, he ran towards the place where the money and grain were piled up, and along the way, he saw the corpses of the officers and soldiers all over the place, and there was not a single corpse of Yanyun's elite! Tong Lei was horrified, and couldn't help but swallow his saliva, and the awe of Yan Yun and Yan Wang in his heart couldn't help but reach its peak!
More than 500 Hua Xu subordinates came down to the money and grain stacking place, only to see the mule cart and ox cart full of money and grain quietly parked in a square, the oxen mooed and mooed, and the mules were also calling uneasily. It was the first time for Tong Lei to see so much money and food, and he couldn't help but be a little dumbfounded.
Yan Ji raised his voice and said, "Immediately drive the ox cart and mule cart to leave this place." All the people agreed, and immediately went to drive oxen and mule carts.
Yang Peng led the hidden killing, rode a horse, guarded the huge convoy from front to back, left and right, left the town, and headed northwest. An hour later, I came to the river, then went north along the river, and walked for more than an hour, a town appeared in front of me, surrounded by mountains and rivers, and the night scene was picturesque.
Yan Ji said: "When I arrived, there was a clear water shop in front of me!" ”
Yang Peng smiled slightly and said to Yan Ji: "Pass the order, no one is allowed to speak!" Yan Ji promised and ordered his subordinates to pass on Yang Peng's order. Tong Lei drove a carriage and was very surprised when he saw that he had come to Brother Qing Shui Pao's territory, and said secretly: "Could it be that Young Master Yang wants to attack Brother Qing Shui Pao?" There was a faint schadenfreude in his heart, his cottage was suppressed by Brother Qingshui Pao everywhere in the past, although he was not bullied, but he was not less angry, and now he saw that Brother Qingshui Pao was going to be unlucky, so he was naturally happy.
When the group came to the archway at the entrance of Zhendian, more than a dozen big men with green scarves and blades flashed out of the darkness on the left and right, and one of them shouted: "Stop!" Who are you? At the same time, the sound of footsteps in the town sounded loudly, and a middle-aged man with a bearded face and a fierce face was quite arrogant, carrying a big axe, leading hundreds of his subordinates to rush over.
The group stopped, and Yang Peng came to the front. The big man led hundreds of people out of the town, and Yang Peng and them formed a confrontation situation, the big man stepped forward and threw the big axe to the ground, with a loud bang, Tong Lei and the others were all in their hearts. Yang Peng smiled and said, "You are Tu Lou, right?" The big man raised his chin and said loudly, "Not bad! Uncle is Tulou! Which road are you on, and what do you want to do when you come to my territory late at night? ”
Yang Peng said: "Boss Tu doesn't have to be nervous, we are here to give gifts, not to find fault!" ”
Tu Lou was stunned for a moment, looked at the many ox carts and mule carts brought by the other party, couldn't help but believe a little, his expression softened a little, and he hugged his fists and said, "How do you call a brother?" Why give me a gift? Yang Peng smiled and said, "You will naturally know in the future." Then he waved his right hand. Tong Lei and the others immediately drove up the ox cart and mule cart, then jumped out of the carriage and retreated behind Yang Peng. Tong Lei was very puzzled in his heart, and he didn't understand why Yang Gongzi wanted to give so much money and grain to Tu Lou?
Tu Lou said to a leader beside him: "Go and have a look." The leader answered, and immediately called more than twenty brothers to come and check on him. Then the leader rushed back with great excitement to report: "Big brother, it's all grain, and there are whole boxes of gold and silver ingots!" ”
Tu Lou was surprised, glanced at Yang Peng, hugged his fists and asked, "Who is my brother?" I don't accept goods from unknown sources! ”
Yang Peng said with a smile: "Boss Tu rest assured, these are all given to Boss Tu by the Xuanfu Envoy to reward Boss Tu's brothers in Qingshui Pao for their hard work over the years!" Tu Lou and the others were relieved when they heard that it was sent by the Xuanfu Envoy, and then they all became excited, anyone who was smashed hard by such a big pie falling from the sky would naturally be infinitely happy!
Tu Lou hugged his fists and bowed: "Thank you, Lord Xuanfu!" ”
Yang Peng said: "Okay, my business is done, farewell." Tu Lou hurriedly said: "Brother, don't be busy, please go to Zhendian for a glass of wine!" Yang Peng said with a smile: "Thank you Boss Tu, but I still have to rush back to recover my life, I can't delay, farewell!" He arched his hand towards Tu Lou. When Tu Lou saw that the other party said this, he didn't stay with each other anymore, hugged his fists and said, "Brother, let's go!" Yang Peng smiled slightly, turned his horse's head, and led his subordinates to leave.
A leader couldn't help but say excitedly: "I didn't expect the Xuanfu envoy to be so generous!" Tu Lou snorted and said, "Xuanfu envoy's money and food are not so easy to get, he must have a very difficult task to be handed over to us to do!" He turned his head and ordered: "Immediately transport the money and grain into the town, count it, and see how much there is!" The leader answered, and immediately beckoned everyone to come up and catch the car.
An officer covered in blood stumbled to the city gate and shouted, "Open the city gate!" The captain of the city gate looked around, only saw the outline of a person, but he couldn't see the face clearly, and shouted angrily: "I want to enter the city and wait for tomorrow!" What city to enter in the middle of the night! The officer shouted: "I am General Li Bi, who sent the envoy to the east to deliver grain, something is wrong, open the city gate quickly!" ”
This city gate captain is also a person who calms the envoy, and when he heard this, he was taken aback, "You are General Li Bi?" "Exactly! Open the gates! The captain of the city gate heard the voice of General Li Bi and immediately ordered the city gate to be opened. The city gate opened, and the captain of the city gate led a few people to run out, and when he saw General Li Bian's embarrassed appearance covered in blood, they were all shocked, and the captain of the city gate asked urgently: "General Li Bian, what's wrong with you?" ”
After all, what happens next, let's see how it will be broken down next time.
