Chapter 261: Niangzi Xiongguan Turkic Emergence

The book continues from the above, the last book said, King Xian and his wife left early in the morning, the people of Puzhou sent each other at the city gate, a Wanmin umbrella, supporting the burden of thousands of catties;

Seeing Chu Mofeng's unbeaten figure and smile, Li Xiaogong immediately urged him to step forward, and after coming to Chu Mofeng and Dou Jingyan, he respectfully made an empty hand salute and said: "Li Xiaogong, the assassin of Jinzhou, has seen His Royal Highness King Xian and His Royal Highness the Side Princess. ”

Seeing this, Dou Jingyan hurriedly replied and said: "The king of Hejian County is too polite, and I hope that the king of Hejian will not blame me if I visit rashly." ”

Listening to Dou Jingyan's words, Li Xiaogong smiled slightly, "Why did the princess say this, the two of them came to Jinzhou, it was actually said that it was a great fortune in Jinzhou, this king couldn't ask for it, how dare he blame?" Then Li Xiaogong looked at Chu Mofeng, and said shyly: "I don't know why His Royal Highness King Xian is not in a high mood when he sees this king? Could it be that this king has offended you, if so, this king will make amends to you." After speaking, he bowed respectfully to Chu Mofeng.

Who knew that Chu Mofeng did not return the salute, but waved his hand casually, and then said in a light tone: "Li Tingshi, this king and the princess have been traveling all the way, can you arrange a place for the two of us now?"

Seeing the appearance of the other party holding a shelf, Li Xiaogong couldn't wait to stuff the horse whip in his hand into Chu Mofeng's mouth, "Knowing that His Royal Highness King Xian and His Royal Highness the Side Princess are coming to Jinzhou, the lower officials have already prepared a place for the two of them, and I also ask His Royal Highness and Her Royal Highness the Side Princess to go with the lower officials." ”

"This king agreed, and asked Li Tingshi to lead the way. He nodded at Li Xiaogong, and then stretched out his hand to point forward, Li Xiaogong immediately smiled bitterly when he saw this, turned his horse's head and led the two towards the Thorn Mansion.

As soon as I entered the gate of the Assassin's Mansion, I heard Chu Mofeng shouting behind him: "You said that you are sour or not, you are your own brothers, who is disgusting when you come out of His Royal Highness at the city gate?

", you're stimulated. Hearing Chu Mofeng teasing himself, Li Xiaogong immediately turned around, stretched out his hand to grab Chu Mofeng and said, "Do you think that all the people in the entire Tang Dynasty are like you, they don't have to worry about political affairs every day, and they wander around leisurely?"

"Please, this king is also doing things for His Majesty when he goes out to hang out, otherwise is it worthy of the annual fortune?" Who knew that Chu Mofeng opened Li Xiaogong's hand, and then sat on the chair and said angrily: "I just tried a case in Puzhou yesterday, and today I came to your Jinzhou, is your kid a little too leisurely in Jinzhou recently?"

"Leisurely? It would be nice if I were leisurely. He pouted at Chu Mofeng, it seemed that Li Xiaogong did not agree with the other party's words, and then Li Xiaogong said with some thoughts: "First... Settle down in the house first, and tonight the king will feast on you. ”

Immediately, Li Xiaogong summoned a subordinate and brought Chu Mofeng and Dou Jingyan to the only large room in the mansion. After a few words, the subordinate turned around and left, leaving only Chu Mofeng and his wife in the room.

Looking at Chu Mofeng, Dou Jingyan said with some doubts: "Have you noticed today that the King of Hejian County is a little absent-minded between his words, isn't there really something in his heart?"

Carefully recalling the picture of seeing Li Xiaogong so far, Chu Mofeng also found that Li Xiaogong seemed to be really wrong between his words, especially the expression at the end that wanted to speak and stopped, which strengthened Chu Mofeng's guess.

At this moment, in the Nyaunzi Pass near Jinju, a woman in armor hurriedly ran into a room and shouted to the woman who was meditating in front of the map in the house: "General Qiyu, the horse outside the gate is urgent." ”

Hearing this, the woman turned around, frowned and nodded to the female soldier who came to report, "Isn't there any emergency outside the gate?"

"General Qiqi Yang, the horses outside the pass sent a message, saying that traces of Turkic cavalry had been found outside the pass, and it was reported that there were not a few of them. Giving a salute to the general in front of her, the female soldier hurriedly told the news she had received. After listening to the other party's report, this General Yang immediately turned around and looked at the map and began to investigate, if Dou Jingyan was here at this moment, he would definitely shout with a smile when he saw this General Yang: "Yang Lin, you little prodigal hoof." ”

This person is Yang Lin, the third-generation guard of Niangzi Pass, since taking over Dou Jingyan's town guard Niangzi Pass, Yang Lin has led the defenders of Niangzi Pass, and has clashed with the Turks dozens of times, and the original delicate porcelain white skin has also left some scars because of the war.

Since Dou Jingyan was transferred back to the capital, the whole army of the Niangzi Pass garrison has always remembered Chu Mofeng's original entrustment, firmly guarded the east gate of the Tang Dynasty, and did not dare to slack off at all. However, a few days ago, due to the changes of the surrounding mountain people, the Niangzi Pass garrison was transferred to a part of the bomb pressure, so that now the troops in the pass are a little stretched.

Looking at the map in front of him, Yang Lin frowned and kept chanting: "Soldiers, soldiers, where can we quickly draw some soldiers and horses?" Seeing that night was approaching, Yang Lin walked to the desk, wrote a letter asking for help, and then called a personal soldier and said: "Hurry to Jinzhou City, hand over this letter to His Royal Highness Li Xiaogong, King of Hejian County, and return after getting the other party's reply, remember, you must personally hand it over to His Royal Highness." ”

When the soldier heard this, he saluted Yang Lin with a solemn face, then took the letterhead, turned around and left quickly, and after a while, he saw a horse in Niangzi Pass leave Niangzi Pass and gallop away in the direction of Jinzhou.

In the Jinzhou City Thorn Mansion, Li Xiaogong was holding a banquet at the moment, picking up the wind and washing the dust for Chu Mofeng and Dou Jingyan, only to see Li Xiaogong and Chu Mofeng sitting side by side, and Dou Jingyan was accompanied by Li Xiaogong's wife You Qianniang.

I saw Li Xiaogong and Chu Mofeng holding a wine jar, laughing and drinking happily, while Dou Jingyan and You Qianniang on the side were talking in a low voice, and the atmosphere was very harmonious for a while.

After raising his head and taking a few sips of wine, Li Xiaogong patted Chu Mofeng's shoulder slightly drunkenly and said: "You kid, if I remember correctly, since you were in Jinyang, you were born with a hard life, and you don't see you idle every day. ”

Who knew that Chu Mofeng slowly shook his head, pointed to the north of Jinju and asked, "Little brother asks you, where is the north of Jinzhou?"

"North of Jinzhou?" Seeing Chu Mofeng ask, Li Xiaogong immediately understood what the other party meant, and then said angrily: "Brother knows that you want to say that the Turks in the north are still not destroyed, right?"

I saw Chu Mofeng nodded, picked up the wine jar and poured a few sips, and then slammed the wine jar on the table, and wiped the wine stains on the side of his mouth, "Brother's kindness, I understand it, but if the northern Hulu is not destroyed, how can my generation stay out of it?" Today, the younger brother went to Jinzhou from Puzhou, before leaving, the people of Puzhou saw each other off, looking at the sincere smiles of those people, and suddenly felt that even if I dedicate all my energy, I still can't repay the people's support and expectations for us, in fact, I am also a human being, I will also be tired, but before the elimination of the Turks, I can not stop. ”

Listening to Chu Mofeng's words, Li Xiaogong didn't know why he was sad for no reason, this kid was nine years younger than himself in front of age, in the first year of Wude (618), when he was twenty-seven years old, he was the official doctor Zuo Guanglu and the ambassador of Shannan Province to comfort him, and he was responsible for passing through Bashu, capturing more than 30 states and capturing Zhu Cang. And this kid has become famous all over the world since the twelfth year of the great cause, with the strength of six people forcibly rushed to kill Zhen Zhai'er's 10,000 army, and rescued Li Yuan in the chaos of the army, this story has been circulated in the Tang Dynasty army so far, that year this kid was only sixteen years old, and then it seems that those generals of the Tang Dynasty no matter how brilliant the battle became, will be covered by his light, the name of the victorious general is not fabricated out of thin air, but by this kid with a knife and a shot.

Thinking of this, Li Xiaogong picked up the wine jar and said to Chu Mofeng: "After listening to my brother's words today, my brother suddenly found that his life had regressed, this glass of wine brother respects you, and he will wave the Northern Expedition in the future, if there is any need, even if the brother speaks, the brother will definitely help." ”

Who knew that Chu Mofeng smiled and did not accept Li Xiaogong's toast, but asked with interest: "The younger brother hopes that the elder brother will tell the truth, isn't there something difficult for the elder brother to deal with here?" If the younger brother needs to help, it doesn't matter. ”

Looking at Chu Mofeng with a sincere expression in front of him, Li Xiaogong was suddenly a little at a loss, the couple saw that the situation was traveling, if the two of them were involved, in case there was anything wrong, they would not be able to explain it anyway, but if they didn't say it, the situation outside the gate was imminent, thinking of this, Li Xiaogong was about to speak, only to hear a report from someone outside the door, "Your Highness Qiqi, the lady has an urgent letter delivered, I hope Your Highness will check it." ”

As soon as they heard the words 'Niangziguan', Chu Mofeng and Dou Jingyan stood up 'rubbing', and then Chu Mofeng looked at Li Xiaogong and said, "Isn't the matter in my brother's heart related to Niangziguan?"

Seeing that the matter could not be hidden, Li Xiaogong sighed for a long time, and then said slowly: " A few days ago, Niangzi Pass came to report, saying that it was found traces of Turks outside the pass, coinciding with the movement of the surrounding mountain people, Niangzi Pass sent soldiers into the mountain to suppress, and the king sent about 500 people out of the customs to investigate, who knew that these 500 people have not returned, today the subordinates came to report, saying that someone passed outside the pass, found a large number of dead soldiers, after identification is my Jinju side of the defenders, so I have been worried that if the Turks come to knock at this time, with the current strength is not able to resist. ”

After listening to Li Xiaogong's narration, Chu Mofeng smiled hideously, and then said coldly: "This group of dogs has given them a chance to breathe, and now it seems that they have lived a little longer, it doesn't matter, this matter should be within my responsibility, brother, please rest assured, please invite the person who reported the news in, and after the younger brother asks, you can go to Niangzi Pass with him." ”

Seeing this, Li Xiaogong nodded, and then ordered his subordinates to invite the person who reported the news, only to see a female soldier in armor quickly walked in, first saluted Li Xiaogong, and then presented the letter, and when he raised his head, he suddenly exclaimed: "General Dou, His Royal Highness King Xian, why are you two in Jinju?"

Dou Jingyan saw the other party's appearance clearly through the light, and immediately said with a smile: "Xiaoya, why are you?" Then Dou Jingyan said to Chu Mofeng: "This is Yang Lin's deputy general Zhang Xiaoya." Chu Mofeng nodded at her when he heard this.

And Li Xiaogong, who was on the side, hastily browsed the letterhead, handed the letterhead in his hand to Chu Mofeng and said: "It seems that there are indeed Turkic cavalry outside the pass, and according to what the letter says, there are not a few, what do you think of this matter?"

"The soldiers are coming to block the water and cover the earth, since they are here, then don't go. After a general browsing, Chu Mofeng lit the letterhead with a candle, and then moved his body, and said with a cruel smile: "My brother will sit in Jinzhou from now on, and the younger brother and Jingyan will leave for Niangzi Pass immediately, and Jinzhou will be handed over to you, as for the affairs of Niangzi Pass, the younger brother will handle it, but the defenders in the city must not be mobilized again." ”

Li Xiaogong sighed when he heard this, thinking that he would still involve the two of them, and then said with a solemn face: "The future of this trip is difficult, and I hope that the younger brother will take care of himself, and set up a celebration wine in the city for his brother to wait for you to return triumphantly." ”

Chu Mofeng nodded when he heard this, and then said to Zhang Xiaoya: "Quickly take this king and the princess to Niangzi Pass." Hearing this, the latter saluted Li Xiaogong, and then led Chu Mofeng and Dou Jingyan to leave in a hurry.

Riding a horse galloping on the street, Chu Mofeng suddenly remembered something, turned around and ran towards a certain place in the city, Dou Jingyan and Zhang Xiaoya saw that the situation was unknown, so they could only follow closely and came to a mansion in the city, only to see the plaque hanging above the gate of the mansion with the huge word 'Chu Mansion', Chu Mofeng turned over and dismounted and stepped forward, knocked on the knocker vigorously, and after a while, the door slowly opened, only to see a man poke his head out and asked, "Who knocked on the door?"

I saw Chu Mofeng push open the door with his hand and walked straight towards the mansion, "Don't you even recognize this king?"

The other party saw clearly by the light that the person who came was Chu Mofeng, the owner of the mansion, and immediately prepared to kneel down to say hello, but Chu Mofeng didn't care about these common etiquette, and quickly ran to the backyard, only to see that in a corner of the backyard, several carrier pigeons were standing quietly in the cage, Chu Mofeng exclaimed when he saw this, and then took out a carrier pigeon, found a pen and paper and wrote a note, and then threw the carrier pigeon high to the sky.

Looking at the carrier pigeon flapping its wings and flying towards the north, Chu Mofeng took out a few pieces of money and stuffed it into the other party's hand, and then walked out of the mansion quickly, turned over and ran in the other direction of the city, and came to a carriage and horse shop, it happened that the guy in the store was on the door board, Chu Mofeng stretched out his hand to stop it, and felt out the waist card and lit up, the latter immediately put down the door and ran towards the store, and after a while, a man ran out, and before he could speak, he heard Chu Mofeng say: " Tonight, I went out of the city to Chang'an, and quickly mobilized 3,000 Longcheng troops to go to Niangzi Pass with my handwritten letter, and informed Xue Yun to set off at night in the starry night. ”

As soon as the words fell, Chu Mofeng tore the paper on the counter, wrote something hastily, and then took out his seal and covered it, and then whispered: "In the past few days, pay attention to whether there are Turkic spies in the city, and kill them on the spot once they are found." After saying that, Chu Mofeng left the carriage and horse shop, followed Zhang Xiaoya and ran in the direction of Niangzi Pass, and before going out, Chu Mofeng said to the guards guarding the city: "Later, there will be a carriage out of the city to move the rescue soldiers, and you have acquiesced in this matter." ”

Seeing that when the other party arrived today, it was Lord Assassin Shi who came to greet him in person, and the soldiers guarding the city were convinced of Chu Mofeng's words, and then nodded, watching Chu Mofeng and the others leave in the dust.

The three of them rushed all the way to Niangzi Pass, and after entering the pass, Zhang Xiaoya took the lead in telling Yang Lin that he heard that Li Xiaogong only sent two people to come, Yang Lin couldn't help sighing, thinking about what the two of them could do, but after thinking about it, it was rare for the other party to send people, and immediately followed Zhang Xiaoya out to greet him, "Xiaoya, didn't the official tell you to let Jinzhou send more people? What can these two people do?"

Before he could see the appearance of the person who came, Yang Lin couldn't help but complain, but as soon as his words fell, one of the other party suddenly said in a light tone: "This general's words are bad, and he is better than a million male soldiers when he comes down." ”

"Are you still worth a million soldiers?" do you think you are the ...... of the Virtuous King" Hearing the other party open his mouth to boast, Yang Lin was suddenly furious, raised his head and opened his mouth to scold, who knew that when he saw the other party's appearance clearly, he suddenly became speechless, "His Royal Highness the Virtuous King, why are you here?"

I only heard another person on the side say in a slightly sour voice: "Look, I'm right, as long as this little prodigal hoof sees you, he can't see anyone else in his eyes." ”

Hearing the other party's voice, Yang Lin immediately guessed the identity of the other party, and then respectfully saluted the other party and said: "The last general Niangzi Guan guarded Yang Lin, and I have seen Her Royal Highness the side princess. ”

"Go, go, sister, take those false gifts, I'm here to help you, hurry up and talk about the situation. Seeing this, Dou Jingyan smiled slightly, walked straight to Yang Lin, stretched out her hand to pinch her delicate and flawless face, and then said to Chu Mofeng with a smile: "What do you say General Yang is blushing?"

Chu Mofeng shook his head helplessly, and then said to Yang Lin: "Please explain the current situation in detail, I can quickly make a plan." ”

Seeing this, Yang Lin hurriedly explained the general story of the matter, and the specific content was basically the same as what Li Xiaogong said, and then Chu Mofeng stood in front of the map and frowned and fell into deep thought.

And not long after Chu Mofeng and the others left, a horse galloped towards the direction of Chang'an City, and the person riding the horse was Xin Chou, the person in charge of the Jinzhou Youzi Station, who galloped all the way, and finally arrived in Chang'an before the city gate was closed, and went straight to the Longcheng Army station, and after presenting Chu Mofeng's handwriting, the battle drums of the assembly suddenly sounded in the Longcheng Army station.

In less than half a pillar of incense, 10,000 Longcheng troops gathered in front of the Dianjiang platform, only to see Xue Yun in military uniform standing on the Dianjiang platform, shouting to the audience: "Everyone, I just received a handwritten letter from the commander, there are traces of Turks in the area of Niangzi Pass, and the commander ordered the Longcheng army to mobilize 3,000 people to rush to Niangzi Pass to standby, the first, third, and fifth battalions are out of the ranks, and the rest of the people go back to the camp to rest." ”

The queue reacted quickly under an order, looking at the three thousand people in front of him, Xue Yun said coldly: "At this time, it is already the beginning of Wu, you wait for one person to ride in pairs, change horses without changing people, and strive to arrive at Niangzi Pass at the beginning of tomorrow, if the military situation is delayed, I don't need to say that you know what to do." Let's go!"

As soon as the voice fell, 3,000 people, under the leadership of Xin Chou, drove towards the direction of Chunming Gate, came to Chunming Gate, and found that the gate was closed, and one of the leaders shouted to the city wall: "Hurry up and open the door, the Longcheng army has received an urgent report to go to Niangzi Pass, if it delays the battle of His Royal Highness King Xian, then the Longcheng army will definitely come to visit." ”

Hearing that the other party was the Longcheng army, the city guards didn't say a word and immediately opened the city gate, and then a group of people quickly left the city and ran in the direction of Niangzi Pass. And before Chu Mofeng released the carrier pigeon, has also arrived in Yiwu City, a black-clothed and black-armored sentry took out the note, quickly ran towards the camp, after a moment of chickens and dogs jumping in the camp, and then saw Zhao Xin, Sun Xian and others leading about 400 black-armored cavalry to gallop out, only to see Zhao Xin shouting: "The handsome has an urgent call, we need to rush to Niangzi Pass as soon as possible, if anyone falls behind, then I won't say it." ”

As soon as the words fell, I heard someone in the team shouting: "Lao Zhao, I heard that you have been squeezed by your wife every day for the past few days, just don't fall behind because of your lack of physical strength." ”

Hearing someone ridiculing him, Zhao Xin immediately blushed, and then galloped forward with his legs between the horse's belly, "Roll on, whoever falls behind can't be left behind, the Tiance army set off." ”

The two teams rushed towards the Niangzi Pass where Chu Mofeng was located at their own speed, and at this moment, Chu Mofeng pondered for a long time, and suddenly came back to his senses and said slowly: "Tomorrow, the first team should arrive, and I will send them out to search at that time, General Yang, please withdraw all your scouts and deal with the Turks, this group of wolf cubs under my command has a way." ”

"Then don't we take the initiative to attack? How many people have you transferred?" I saw Yang Lin looking at Chu Mofeng with an obsessive expression, it seemed that as long as this person was here, there was nothing that could not be solved.

"Don't worry, I didn't transfer too much, the two teams together are about less than three thousand five hundred people, which is enough to deal with the Turks outside the pass. I saw Chu Mofeng sneering and said: "I haven't had activities for a long time, and I will go out to investigate tomorrow, and I hope that General Yang will close the door and not leak in." ”

Yang Lin nodded when she saw this, and then said softly: "It's getting late, I don't know ...... Your Highness tonight."

Who knew that before the words were finished, they heard Dou Jingyan shouting on the side: "Stop, just find a barracks, there is something important tomorrow, and it is not appropriate to overwork tonight." ”

Finding that her careful thoughts were seen through by the other party, Yang Lin made a grimace at Dou Jingyan, and then hurriedly ordered someone to arrange it.

At the beginning of the second day, Chu Mofeng got up early, stood at the gate leading to the pass and waited quietly, and after a while, he saw a burst of smoke and dust rolling in front of him, as if a large number of cavalry were flying in, Chu Mofeng immediately laughed when he saw this, and when the smoke and dust dissipated, he was presented in front of a cavalry phalanx of nearly 3,000 people, and he saw that the leader made a unique military salute to Chu Mofeng and said: "Qiqi Marshal, the Longcheng army dispatched 3,000 people according to your orders, and 3,000 people were present at this time, please give instructions to the marshal." ”

Looking at the gradually brightening sky, Chu Mofeng said with a smile: "Rest for an hour, go out with Ben Shuai at the beginning of the morning, if you meet the Turks this time, I don't need to say what should I know, right?"

I saw 3,000 people shouting in unison: "Kill on the spot, leave no mouth alive." Seeing this, Chu Mofeng nodded with satisfaction, and then motioned for everyone to enter the Niangzi Pass......

As the saying goes, the magic is one foot high and one foot high, and watch the Longcheng army rush to break the enemy, and then watch the Tiance army sweep thousands of troops, I want to know what will happen next, and listen to the next decomposition......
