133rd Battle of Tiandu Mountain (1)
On the second day, before the sunrise, Tie Lang and his party went out early, outside the village gate, Jiang Kuang took the lead, Bai Yuxia and Li Huaxue and even pothos and Bai Yufei were all sent outside the village.
After saying goodbye one by one, Yang Tianluo rode away first, and Tie Lang turned around and told Jiang Kuang: "Jiang Kuang, don't forget to be entrusted by the teacher." ”
At noon, everyone arrived in Yuanzhou, Tie Lang remembered the scene when he was in a vast area and Ma Munan sought medical treatment here, and he couldn't help but feel secretly sad in his heart: if he didn't find Ma Munan, he finally felt that time was wasted.
Yang Tianluo wanted to go around the city, but Tie Lang said: "Let's start after we have a good fight in the city." ”
Approaching the gate of Yuanzhou, I saw a sergeant in the city rushing down, and Kankan stopped Tie Lang and others outside the moat.
Yang Tianluo was about to ask, but the sergeant saluted in front of Tie Lang Ma and said, "I've seen Master Wu Mu." ”
Tie Lang was stunned and stared at the man: "Who is Your Excellency?"
The sergeant glanced at the people around Tie Lang: "Please take a step to speak." ”
Yang Tianluo was about to have a seizure, but Tie Lang threw himself off his horse and walked dozens of steps along the moat.
The sergeant looked back and looked around, and then lowered his voice and said, "Master Hou, Lord Huang asked me to bring you a message." ”
Tie Lang couldn't help but be surprised: Brother Huang arranged for someone to come to see him, but he was afraid that there was something big.
Few people know about the relationship between Tie Lang and Huang Sheng, so he didn't need to confirm it and said, "What did Lord Huang say?"
The sergeant approached Tie Lang and said, "Many masters of the Japanese guard will not go west, and the target is probably Hou Ye." ”
Tie Lang listened to this, and quickly asked, "Why is this so?"
The sergeant pondered for a moment: "Lord Huang didn't tell you, the little one has been in Tokyo for a long time, but he can guess a thing or two." ”
Tie Lang nodded and said, "You can talk about it." ”
The sergeant said in a low voice: "Since the emperor pardoned Wu Mu Si, the little one has also heard some old things about Wu Mu Si, it turns out that Wu Mu Si and the royal court have a vendetta, and now it has long been spread among the people. Just looking at this old feud, you can know that even if the emperor pardons Wu Musi, the big men above the court will not. ”
Tie Lang nodded and said, "Well, I've also heard about this matter, but what does it have to do with this matter of the westward expansion of the Japanese guard?"
The sergeant shook his head and said: "The year before last, Prime Minister Lu Yijian and Lu left the prime minister, and now the three old people in the court are Wang Sui, Chen Yaozuo and Han Yi in charge, and these three people have been arguing all day long, so they don't have the time to pay attention to Wu Musi." ”
Tie Lang suddenly realized: he had been safe and sound for many days, but he only said that Brother Huang's warning was wrong, but he didn't expect there to be such twists and turns.
The sergeant continued: "Now, these three elders have all left the court, the privy envoy of the Xifu is vacant, and before the emperor instructs the privy envoy to be elected, all the forbidden armies are waiting to control themselves, and Cheng Xuanjia dares to act. ”
Tie Lang listened to what the sergeant said, and couldn't help but add blue eyes: "This brother is observant of things, please ask your brother with a high surname?"
The sergeant bowed his head and saluted: "The little one's surname is Zhou, his name is Wei, he is from Tongguan, Huazhou, and he is a sentry of the Divine Guard Forbidden Army. ”
Tie Lang said tentatively: "Lord Huang, Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, thank you Brother Zhou for coming to warn, but how should I deal with it?"
Zhou Wei thought for a moment and said: "There are about 300 people who have moved west this time, and these people are close to each other, and it is difficult to defeat them, so the last general scattered the men and horses of my sentry and horse capital, which is to intercept the Hou Ye and no longer return to the Jingbian Village." ”
Tie Lang couldn't help but be surprised when he heard that the Riwei had arranged more than 300 people, and then said with a smile: "This Cheng Xuanjia actually values me so much, but I am also a dignified and upright martial artist under the imperial court, how could I be a turtle with a shrunken head." ”
Zhou Wei hugged his fists and apologized: "If it weren't for the fact that the last general intended to insult the prestige of the Hou Ye, there are about five hundred elites in this Japanese guard, and more than half of them have come this time, although these people have never seen it, but I have heard that most of them are not under the thirteen eagles of Tianwu." ”
This made Tie Lang's heart sink, and he said in his heart: This Cheng Xuanjia has attracted so many martial arts masters, no wonder he is unscrupulous.
Tie Lang was suddenly a little at a loss, but Zhou Wei said: "When the last general came west, Lord Huang ordered the last general and his subordinate sentry horses to listen to the dispatch of Hou Ye. ”
Tie Lang couldn't help but feel hot when he heard this, but said: "That Zhan Riwei just wants to deal with Tie, how can you Shenwei bear the name of the civil strife in the forbidden army for me alone, absolutely not." ”
Zhou Wei was stunned for a moment, and then said goodbye: "In this way, please prepare as soon as possible." ”
Yang Tianluo saw Tie Lang with a sad face when he came back, and he knew that there must be something big, but he couldn't ask directly, and was about to beat a side drum to ask, so he heard Tie Lang say: "Go around the west of the city, and when you arrive at Jingbian Village in the evening, Tie Mou invites you to drink." ”
Yang Tianluo said: "If you haven't eaten for a long time, you will inevitably be tired, Brother Tie will go west first, and I will go to the city to buy some dry food." Tie Lang was so worried that he didn't pay attention to it, but just nodded.
Back in Jingbian Village, Tie Lang is still unfazed by the daily drill sergeant, but Yang Tianluo has disappeared in the past few days, and Yang Tianluo usually only comes over every once in a while to see, and Tie Lang doesn't care.
On this day, Tie Lang calculated according to the estimated time that the people who supported the sun guard should have an advance team to arrive at Jingbian Village tonight and tomorrow morning, and they were fully armed, but they did not inform Guo Zun and others.
Yang Tianluo, who had disappeared for three days, suddenly broke into the camp, grabbed the water on the table and poured a few mouthfuls of it: "I have been patrolling the border for the past few days, and I have found that a group of masters of the party have gathered in Tiandu Mountain, which is less than three hundred miles away from Jingbian Village, and I am afraid that it will not be good for my Great Song Dynasty." ”
Guo Zun listened and said: "These pickled pours have only one day to benefit me from the Great Song Dynasty, and the killing will pass." ”
Tie Lang looked directly at Yang Tianluo for a long time and was silent, Yang Tianluo was looking at Tie Lang, and gradually lowered his head and said: "The subordinates make their own opinions, don't blame Wanwang Wu Muhou." ”
Seeing Yang Tian bow his head slightly, Tie Lang knew that his guess was correct, and thought for a while: "My Wu Mu Si was originally set up to protect my Great Song Dynasty, and you know the intentions of the DPRK and China, so this arrangement is very much in line with my wishes." ”
Yang Tianluo saw that Tie Lang already knew his intentions, so he said: "It is inevitable that there will be a fight left and right, it is better to lead the guards to Tiandu Mountain, and let the great masters of the current forbidden army smell the bloodshed on the battlefield." ”
Tie Lang said with a smile: "This time the sun guards are all martial arts masters, you battlefield generals fight with them but suffer losses, I have been to Tiandu Mountain, tomorrow I can go north alone." ”
Guo Zun and Yang Tianluo were willing to fight for a long time, and Tie Lang sighed and said: "What do you mean, I don't know, but this time I went north, and the lone army went deep into the hinterland of the party, not to mention that Tiandu Mountain had already prepared, only that this Japanese guard will inevitably be killed with my companions, and Wu Mu Siyan will be extinct from now on." ”
Guo Zun and Yang Tianluo argued again, but Tie Lang's face sank and said: "I don't know how many ancestors of this martial artist have shed blood for it, and now the spark of the stars is as big as a bean, how can it be extinguished, don't say more, and remember to keep it for his future use." ”
Yang Tianluo and Guo Zun's expressions were gloomy, and after a long time, Yang Tianluo said: "Yang has nothing to do in the army now, but he can go north with the Tie brothers." ”
Tie Lang wanted to postpone it again, but Yang Tianluo hurriedly pulled out his sword: "Yang has been a vague person for more than a day or two, if Brother Tie looks down on him, I will kill myself on the spot." ”
Tie Lang saw that Yang Tianluo's face was full of sorrow, and knew that this person was sad because of years of depression, so he nodded and said: "You and I, as long as the outpost of the Japanese guard arrives, we will set off for the north." ”
Yang Tianluo shook his head and said: "This is more than two hundred miles to Tiandu Mountain, the barrier between the Great Song Dynasty and the Dangxiang Army is in the middle, Guo Zunying ordered all the troops and horses to gather in the place of the barrier, one is to prevent Tiandu Mountain from getting out of control and the border is unpredictable; ”
Tie Lang felt justified when he heard this, so he said: "Brother Yang's words are reasonable, Brother Guo will order troops to go to the border tomorrow to suppress the formation." ”
