Chapter Forty-Nine: Exploring the Liao Camp at Night
When the night arrived, Qin Fei and Duo'er changed into night clothes, brought the blade to the courtyard of the Shuaifu, Li Yuangong was already waiting here, the three of them rode to the city gate, directly from the horse road to the city wall, handed over the mount to the soldiers, the three of them flew from the city wall like three big birds outside the city, and then spread out their bodies and galloped towards the Liao camp.
Tea kung fu has arrived under the wooden wall of Liaoying Dazhai, the three of them swept into the camp, these three people are outstanding martial arts, entering this camp is like a leisurely walk, how can ordinary soldiers find out. The campfire in the Liao camp was dim, and the soldiers patrolling the camp were also not energetic, and the camp was silent, thinking that the failure of the siege during the day greatly dampened morale, and the whole camp seemed to be lifeless.
However, the Liao camp is too large, and the former military camp alone is afraid that there are several miles in radius. The three of them only looked for the brightly lit place, and because of the high ranks in the army, they were interested in looking at the wide tent. In the middle of the line, Li Yuangong waved his hand in front of him, Qin Fei and Duo'er looked forward, and saw that it was a camp tent that was obviously wider than the tent of other soldiers.
"Today's siege is full of warriors from Ta Buyan and my two tribes, if you go on like this, in a few days, all the warriors brought by my two tribes will die under the city of Xiazhou. A voice said indignantly.
"Zhibulu, you are better, my tribe brought 15,000 people, and now there are only 8,000 left, I really don't know how to explain to Daddy after I go back. The other had a slight whimper.
"In this expedition to Western Xia, which tribe dares not to send troops, the more is twenty or thirty thousand, and the less is four or five thousand. The tribal warriors are not afraid of fighting on the battlefield, but only that Helian Tengbao can do it if they know how to die and attack hard like they do today, anyway, no one from his tribe came this time, and he didn't care whether the other tribes were dead or alive. ”
"Puri, if you attack the city again tomorrow, your tribe will definitely be on the line, I and the Zhibulu tribe have suffered heavy damage, and you tribes who have not yet fought will definitely attack first. ”
"There will be no more sieges tomorrow, when I first came to Xiazhou, after a few battles, several main generals of the Chinese army felt that the city of Xiazhou was strong, the walls were high and the moat was not suitable for attacking, so I rested for a few days after that. Today's attack is because that Helian Tengbao came to the army last night, and seeing that Xiazhou City had not yet been taken, he moved out of the holy order and forced the former army commander to attack the city. Who knew that it was such a tragic situation, that Helian Tengbao had quietly slipped away in the afternoon. ”
"This traitor, I heard that this time I entered the Western Xia because of his advances, Lord Xiao of the Southern Privy Council wrote several times to dissuade him, but he was reprimanded by the saint. Now that the army is in front of the pass, it is impossible to retreat, and it is up to this old thief to explain to the saint. ”
He is not the commander of the army, and if he wins, he will be the first to jump out, saying that the chief general of the army is not effective in supervising the war, and that he has deceived the king and misled the country. Since the army came to Xiazhou City, he only showed up last night, and now he doesn't know where he went, so he has already prepared a rhetoric. ”
When the three people outside the tent heard that Helian Tengbao had left the army in the afternoon, they couldn't help but secretly scream that it was a pity.
"The inner court guard is two guest secretaries and two worshippers, and now the two guest secretaries have slipped away with Tengbao, and only two worshippers are still in the army, so it's really funny to think about it. ”
The people in the tent spontaneously complained and gossiped, and the three people outside the tent stopped listening. Li Yuangong waved his hand in front, and the three of them walked forward again. After coming to a stack, the three of them hid in the dark, and Li Yuangong said: "Brother Xian, the old thief of Tengbao ran away again, this guy is really cunning." ”
Qin Fei also felt helpless: "One day I will let him crash into my hands." Leave him alone for the time being, it's important to retreat for now. ”
Duo'er said: "The Liao army has no fighting spirit now, but these million people are standing there for you to kill, and they can't be killed, but how can there be a way to force the Liao people to retreat." ”
Li Yuangong said: "There are still two inner court guards who are enshrined in the army to supervise the army, it is better to go and kill the two of them, and it is not in vain." ”
Qin Fei and Duo'er nodded and said yes. At that moment, the three of them went to the Chinese army camp, and out of the former military camp, about two miles away, it was the Chinese army camp. As before, Li Yuangong opened the way in front, and the three of them infiltrated the Chinese army camp, which was even more difficult to find than the former army, and the Chinese military camp was several times larger than the front army.
The three of them bumped into each other in the camp, and it was already past the third watch, Qin Fei said to Li Yuangong: "Big brother, even if you can't find those two prison guards at dawn, it's better to catch a leader and ask." ”
Li Yuangong thought about it, looking for a needle in a haystack, but how to find two prison guards. As soon as I raised my eyes, I saw a big cowhide tent not far ahead, and the people in the tent were not of low rank. When he came to the tent quietly, he saw that there were four soldiers on duty at the door, and the patrol teams around him were also shuttling back and forth, so he made a gesture and asked Qin Fei and the others to wait here.
Li Yuangong walked around to the back of the tent, quietly slashed the tent with a sharp blade, and entered the big tent with a wipe. The candles in the tent were dim, and I thought that the people in the tent had rested, so most of the candles were extinguished.
Li Yuangong raised his eyes and saw that the tent was very wide, and there was a brocade couch behind the bookcase, during which one person was lying high, and there was no sound. Li Yuangong tiptoed to the couch, just stretched out his hand to hold the man's big vertebral acupoint, lifted it with one hand, and pulled out the big tent from the crack behind the tent. Although that person was burly, he was like pinching a chicken when he was held by Li Yuangong in his hand, and he came to Qin Fei after a while.
The hidden place is a wide stack, stacked with some military sundries, but I am not afraid of being discovered. Li Yuangong stretched out his hand to unlock the man's acupoint, and then casually clicked on his dumb acupoint. The man woke up in a daze, touched it with his hand, and the frozen soil was under him, and he looked up to see several black-clothed people around him, staring at him without blinking.
I was stunned for a moment, remembering that this was on the battlefield, even in the cold night, the beads of sweat on my forehead were rolling down, and my face was like earth, but I couldn't speak.
"I'll untie your dumb hole now, and if you shout, don't blame me for killing you with a knife. Li Yuangong gently slapped the man's cheek with a sharp blade, and the man nodded again and again.
Li Yuangong stretched out his hand to untie the dumb hole for him: "Now I ask, you answer, if you don't answer, or talk nonsense, it will be a white knife going in and a red knife coming out, understand?"
"Yes...... Yes," the man nodded, unable to speak.
"What's your name and what is your position in the army?"
"Little ...... The small one is called Zha Yongji, and he is, the treasurer of the Chinese army. ”
The treasurer is the most oily and water-deficient in the army, and this person is actually the treasurer of the Chinese army, and it seems that he also has some doorways.
"Can the Liao army receive grain and grass now, where will the grain be transported from, and which way to go?"
"From ...... Transporting grain from Yunzhou and Datong, the grain road is thousands of miles long, for fear of robbing grain in the Western Xia, a total of more than ten grain platforms have been built, the latest one is under the Shuangfeng Ridge more than 100 miles away from here. ”
"Where is the Inner Court Guard now, and what is its name?"
"There are four supervisors in the inner and inner court guards, two guest secretaries, and two worshippers. In the afternoon, the two guest secretaries had gone to other places for business with the commander of Helian Tengbao, and the remaining two worshippers were one named Tong Ruixiang and the other was Fu Ancai, both of whom lived in the tent on the slope, surrounded by guards and guards in the inner court, and did not let the sergeants in the camp approach. After speaking, Zha Yongji pointed to a nearby high ground, and the three of them turned their heads to see that there was a high slope not far away, and there was a faint fire flickering on the slope.
Li Yuangong nodded, it seemed that this person was quite honest, he didn't dare to say nonsense, and he hesitated in his heart and didn't know what to do with this person. If it weren't for Qin Fei beside him, he would have killed this person with one slap right now. It's just that in front of Qin Fei and Duo'er, as a brother, he has to take care of some face.
After thinking about it, he said to Zha Yongji: "If I order your acupoint now, the sky will be cold, and you will freeze to death at this moment." Anyway, God has the virtue of a good life, so you can slowly walk back to the tent and continue to sleep in your sleep. If you shout, this is what will happen to you. With that, he picked up a stone from the ground, pinched it in his hand, and after a while, the pieces fell between his fingers.
Zha Yongji was already in a state of despair at this time, but if he could survive, he didn't care about anything, lying on the ground and kowtowing repeatedly. Li Yuangong raised his face and motioned for him to walk back to the tent slowly, and Zha Yongji dared to get up and slowly walked towards the tent. After a long time, I entered the tent.
The three of them waited in place for a while, and when they saw that Nacha Yongji really did not shout, and everything was normal in the camp, they got up and hurried to the tent enshrined in the inner court on the hillside.
