026 [The Beginning of Iron and Blood]

Half an hour later, this frontal interception had ended, leaving more than 100 corpses in the valley, most of which were brought by Li Xuan'an.

After Li Xuan'an's father and son were killed, the Bodhisattva Man casually ripped off a strip of cloth to tie the wound on his left arm, and then joined the battle with two knives, and with the tacit cooperation of four companions, he killed five masters of the Beiyan Prosecutor's Hall one after another, and the remaining few escaped with injuries.

The Northern Yan cavalry, which had lost its backbone, scattered and fled, and was chased by the reckless heroes and the water dogs, and finally only more than 100 horsemen escaped.

At the top of the low mountain, the north wind hunts.

The Bodhisattva sat on a smooth stone, still wearing a mask and two swords at his side.

A middle-aged man named Tao Baochun stepped forward and said with concern: "Miss, is your injury serious?" ”

The Bodhisattva shook his head slightly, and then asked, "Uncle Tao, how are the casualties of the brothers?" ”

Tao Baochun looked sad and sighed lightly: "Nine people were broken, and another twenty-one people were injured. ”

This result seems incredible, but the Bodhisattva is not a mediocre horseman.

Tao Baochun himself, a marksman named Xi Jun, a short man named Yang Juning, and the burly Han Jishan, the four of them are all masters who can rank in the green forests of the Northland.

The others are also fierce people personally cultivated by the gang leader in Tao Baochun's mouth, if it weren't for the special identity of the Bodhisattva, he would not have been able to gather such an elite team.

The Bodhisattva took the horse chopping knife in his hand, wiped it carefully, and said softly: "Cut off the heads of Li Xuan'an's father and son, and after paying tribute to the dead brothers, hang them on the city gate tower of the capital of Dongyang Road, and give a wake-up call to those officials who are careless about people's lives." The brothers who died in battle and the brothers who were wounded were compensated according to the rules of the gang. And thou shalt ask my father to take half of my deposit and give it to all those who are fighting today, and give one more to those who are wounded, and two more to those who are killed. ”

Tao Baochun responded: "Yes, eldest lady." ”

The Bodhisattva wiped the blood stains off the horse chopping knife, got up and handed it into the other party's hands, and said calmly: "Uncle Tao brings the brothers back, and I have this knife." ”

Tao Baochun took the long knife and hesitated: "The eldest lady really wants to go to Huaizhou in Southern Qi?" ”

The Bodhisattva bowed his head and said: "Daddy originally asked me to go south to fulfill the contract on his behalf, but I just happened to learn about Li Xuan'an's whereabouts, so I called everyone to do this." Since my father promised to help the rich businessman surnamed Lu, and he really couldn't get out, I naturally had to take responsibility. ”

Tao Baochun was not easy to persuade, so he introduced in detail: "I have already investigated the situation of the Lu family in Guangling. Lu Tong is quite scheming, but there is no problem in dealing with people. His only son, named Lu Shen, is said to be a man of few words, and after the beginning of the year, he replaced his father in the mountain city of the North Metro, but the recent situation is unknown. ”

The Bodhisattva's tone slowed down: "Uncle Tao doesn't have to worry, I'll go to Guangling to teach him the inner door heart method and leave." What kind of characters the Lu family father and son are, in fact, has nothing to do with me. ”

Tao Baochun naturally agreed with this idea, but said with a little worry: "After all, Guangling is the territory of the Southern Qi Dynasty, and there are a lot of spies arranged by the Warp Weaving Division in Huaizhou, so the eldest lady still has to be careful." In this way, I asked Xi Jun and Ji Shan to sneak into Guangling City with more than ten brothers, the two of them acted steadily and alertly, and would not disturb the eldest lady, and they could take care of them in case of a change. ”

The Bodhisattva did not stubbornly insist, and said softly: "That's fine. ”

After Tao Baochun left, she saw that the companions in the valley were divided into two groups, most of them quietly went north with the remains of their fallen brothers, and more than ten people turned to the west - of course Xi Jun and others could not enter Huaizhou from Panlong Pass or the northern line, they had to go around a big circle, sneak into Southern Qi from more than 100 miles upstream of the Hengjiang River, and then cross the river north into Huaizhou, which was also the route she had prepared in advance.

It's just that everyone knows that she doesn't like to be noisy, so Xi didn't come to ask if she was going to go with her.

The sun was in the west, and the Bodhisattva stood for a long time, slowly taking off the hideous mask on his face.

The mountain breeze blew the green silk on her sideburns, and she took one last look at the vast world in the north, and turned to go down the mountain.

……

At dawn the next day, nearly 100 horsemen came to this valley and saw the corpses strewn across the ground, and everyone was stunned.

Until someone found two headless corpses, Ning Li, the commander of the Panlong Pass Regiment, quickly confirmed that this was Li Xuan'an and his son.

A ridiculous feeling surged in his heart - the first set of plans for the Prosecutor's Office and the military to plan for more than half a year, lose hundreds of elite spies before and after, wait for 20,000 elite horsemen, and first seize Panlong Pass and then recover the entire territory of Huaizhou?

Judging from the condition of the corpses on the ground, Li Xuan'an was obviously ambushed by an extremely powerful enemy, but not all of his subordinates died, and a considerable number of them escaped.

Ning Li shouldered the task of responding, and waited until midnight in the south to find no trace of Li Xuanan, so he could only lead his subordinates to the north to check, but what he finally saw was such a scene.

No matter how much he didn't want to believe it, Li Xuanan's death meant that all his previous efforts were in vain.

This would be useless even if someone with a higher status than Li Xuanan in the Northern Yan Dynasty defected to Southern Qi, and Xiao Wangzhi and Pei Di were not stupid.

Ning Li secretly swallowed his saliva, and soon realized that his situation was very embarrassing.

Sooner or later, the movements on the side of Guangling Mansion will be detected by the Huaizhou Governor's Mansion, and maybe Su Buqing is already investigating himself at the moment.

Originally, Ning Li was just playing a time gap, before the Warp Weaving Division figured out the truth, Beiyan was very likely to seize Panlong Pass, and it didn't matter if his identity was exposed at that time, but what should I do now?

Under the turn of his mind, Ning Li quickly made a decision, he tried to be as calm as possible to let some people return to Panlongguan to report the news, and at the same time indicated that he would continue to survey north.

Those ordinary soldiers naturally didn't know Ning Li's true identity, let alone that the people he left behind were confidants.

After the arrangements were made, Ning Li looked at the headless corpse on the ground with hatred, gritted his teeth and fled back to Beiyan with more than ten cronies.

When he met the remnants of Li Xuan'an, who had fled, he knew that this incident was actually done by a reckless ranger with the name of Bodhisattva, and no words could describe the complicated feelings of this elite secret agent.

Three days later, the Huaizhou Governor's Office finally received the same message.

In the study room of the back house, Xiao Wangzhi, the governor of the capital, had a calm face, and said with a little regret: "After all, people are not as good as heaven." ”

The atmosphere in the room was rather dreary.

Li Xuan'an's father and son died inexplicably on the way to Panlong Pass, which led to the direct miscarriage of Beiyan's plan to seize Panlong Pass, and the elite cavalry who were originally ready to attack could only stay in place.

The problem is that the main cavalry of the Northern Yan has not been mobilized, and the strategy planned by the Huaizhou Governor's Office to attack Yongquan Pass in the north can only be shelved.

Sima Huang Xianfeng said helplessly: "Pei Di was not lightly hit this time, all his preparations were in vain, and Ning Li also fled back to the territory of Pseudo Yan. ”

Xiao Wangzhi said slowly: "Although Ning Li is hateful, he is insignificant to the overall situation, Pei Di is a veteran of the battlefield, and he will not understand this truth." What really made him depressed was that Huaizhou had been on the defensive for many years, and there were many constraints when he wanted to take the initiative to attack. This opportunity is rare, after all, it is a flaw sent by Pseudo Yan. ”

Of course, Huang Xianfeng understands this truth, but what can he do now?

Who would have thought that Li Xuan'an, who had three hundred horsemen to protect him, would die in the hands of the rivers and lakes?

Xiao Wangzhi saw that the atmosphere was too depressing, so he asked, "Who is that Bodhisattva?" ”

Huang Xianfeng briefly said what he knew.

Xiao Wangzhi groaned: "Since she killed Li Xuan'an because this person killed the people of the Northland, and she had also killed some pseudo-Yan and Jing Dynasty officials before, it can be seen that she has a chivalrous spirit." For a long time, we have all neglected the heroes of the Northland Green Forest, and if we can gather this force, we may not be able to cause trouble for the Jing Dynasty. Huang Sima, you go and collect the relevant information and submit it as soon as possible. ”

Huang Xianfeng responded: "The subordinate officer receives the order." ”

Xiao Wangzhi said again: "Tell Pei Di not to take this matter to heart." Since the previous strategy ended without a problem, let him use this opportunity to clean up the Panlong Pass, so as not to have hidden dangers in the future. ”

Huang Xianfeng respectfully agreed, and then bowed and retired.

Xiao Wangzhi turned his head to look at Xiao Hong, who was standing beside him, and muttered: "This is what my father told you before, the war should not rely too much on conspiracy, and no one knows when and where things will change." ”

Xiao Hong said with feeling: "What my father taught is that the child really didn't expect such a bizarre twist and turn in this matter. ”

Xiao Wangzhi stared at the front and said faintly: "There are countless similar examples, and there is no need to look for them in the history books, so the six words of listening to the mandate of heaven can only prevail." However, Li Xuanan's death is not the end, but the beginning of a bloody storm. ”

Xiao Hong's heart sank, looked at his father's solemn side face, and asked with a solemn expression: "Father's intention, the war is about to start?" ”

Xiao Wangzhi got up and walked to the window, and said in a deep voice: "Since the war completely stopped seven years ago, Daqi and Pseudo Yan have only occasionally made small fights, and even non-governmental trade has not been banned. In fact, it is war or peace, and Pseudo Yan has no power to decide, Wang Shidao seems to be in a high position, and he is also subject to Jing Chaoqing Yugong. In the past seven years, the Jing Dynasty has never stopped reorganizing its armaments, because they will not let Huaizhou be in the hands of Daqi. ”

Xiao Hong would not doubt his father's judgment on the overall strategic situation, and said with some nervousness and excitement when he heard this: "Father, this matter should be played to the Son of Heaven as soon as possible, so that the court can prepare early." ”

Xiao Wangzhi's eyes narrowed slightly, and he said slowly: "My father had a fold as early as last winter, but the court has not argued about the result, otherwise why would my father take risks, intending to use a surprise attack to strengthen the confidence of the princes of the court?" ”

Xiao Hong frowned, but did not speak hastily.

Xiao Wangzhi turned his head to look at him, and smiled reluctantly: "You don't have to worry about these things. After a while, you personally go to Guangling to take a good look at the armament of the Guangling army on behalf of your father. ”

Xiao Hong hurriedly lowered his head.

After he left, Xiao Wangzhi was still standing in front of the window, staring at the ancient tree in the courtyard, and muttered to himself: "Zhumen sings and dances heavily, and the stable horse is fat and the bow is broken...... Scold. ”
