Chapter 121: Siege Wei to save Zhao
Li Zhen saw that Zhu Wen couldn't hold back a little, and replied: "The marshal doesn't have to panic, why don't you let General Ge lead a light cavalry, set off overnight, disguise yourself as the Shatuo army, rob the head and concubine of Huangchao halfway, and then ask the court for credit, so that the first merit of exterminating the grass will inevitably go to the marshal, as long as you can get the trust of the Son of Heaven, you can do the hegemony of 'coercing the Son of Heaven with the princes' in the future!"
The more Zhu Wen listened, the more excited he became, and said to Ge Congzhou beside him: "Good plan, just act according to Secretary Li's arrangement!" General Ge, Lone ordered you to lead three thousand elite horsemen, set off overnight, and set up an ambush in Boye, you must take advantage of the chaos to seize the head of Huangchao, and come back alone to have a heavy reward! Lone gives Li Zhen the first credit, and you are second!"
Ge Congzhou replied "obey", took the arrow from Zhu Wen's hand, and went to mobilize the troops and horses.
Zhu Wen said to Li Zhen and Ou Yangguang again: "You still have to do something big tonight, you don't have to rest, and order the two armies of Flying Tiger and Flying Leopard to listen to the order at the point in front of the south gate!"
After Li Zhen and Ou Yangguang got the order, they successively went out of the Chinese army's big tent.
Besides, Xu Zhi and others took advantage of the dark night to walk a few miles along the barracks, around to the upper reaches of the Bianhe River, and everyone dived and swam not far from the barracks.
Xu Zhi found a dead end, led everyone to sneak ashore, and saw that the lights were bright not far away, and there were mountains of grain, grass, and equipment piled up everywhere, only to know that this was only Zhu Wen's logistics troops, and Zhu Wen's Chinese army camp was still a few miles away from here. The crowd hid behind a stack of grain trucks and carefully observed the movements in the barracks.
I saw a few black shadows escorting a cart of grain and grass to the side of the Bianhe River, where a barge had already been moored, and several black shadows hurriedly unloaded the grain and grass on the car to the boat, and ordered the boatman to leave in a hurry, and the boat disappeared into the vast night after a while.
Li Cunxiao didn't know why, and asked softly: "Looking at the behavior of these people, they don't look like Zhu Wen's subordinates, but like some thieves!"
He Mengjiao replied: "These people may want to make a little money, cooperate with the outside world, steal and sell some grain, grass and ordnance, and get rich!"
Xu Zhi interrupted: "Let's leave it alone, we have to find Senior Brother Hui as soon as possible and rescue him!"
Zhou Yuanzhi sighed: "Zhu Wen is treacherous, but he is very cautious in handling things, his Chinese army camp must be heavily guarded, how can he save Brother Hui from under his nose?"
The idiot suggested: "Then only by transferring the soldiers around Zhu Wen can we save Brother Hui?"
He sneered and said, "Brother Xu is not Zhu Wen, how can you let so many soldiers evacuate the camp?
Xu Zhi suddenly thought of something, and said with a smile: "Idiot, good idea, why don't we make a plan to encircle Wei and save Zhao?"
Zhou Yuanzhi asked, "How to surround Wei and save Zhao?"
Xu Zhi replied: "This is Zhu Wen's grain and grass camp, why don't we burn his grain and grass, we are not afraid that he will not transfer troops to rescue, we can take advantage of the chaos to mix into his camp and rescue Senior Brother Hui!"
Seeing that everyone nodded at him, Xu Zhi rushed out first, swinging his sword directly at the guards patrolling the camp, and those guards immediately shouted and shouted when they saw an assassin descending from the sky. The soldiers led by Xu Zhi did not wait for a reaction, cut off the torch in his hand with a sword, and kicked the torch into the grain and grass piled up nearby, and suddenly a raging flame rose in the grain and grass.
Zhou Yuanzhi and He Mengjiao also waved their swords to coerce the two soldiers, snatched the torches from their hands, and threw the torches on the tent where the soldiers were staying.
Li Cunxiao, Xue Atan, Liao Idiot, and Liao Yi held four positions respectively, sniping at the soldiers who came to fight the fire. When the soldiers saw the ferocity of the four men, they did not dare to come forward to send them to death, so they had to watch as the fire on the grain carts and tents grew bigger and bigger.
Just when the soldiers of the whole battalion were helpless, they suddenly heard an officer shouting: "Half of the soldiers go to the Bianhe River to fetch water to extinguish the fire, Deputy General Zhang, you go and tell the commander, and the others will follow the general to kill the rebel!"
Xue Atan saw that the general was wearing a windbreaker, and rushed out of the barracks, and couldn't help laughing, Li Cunxiao also laughed a few times and said: "Zhu Wen's subordinates are all some generals who are not in good clothes, wine bags and rice bags, how can it be done? Xue Aniu, why don't we take a gamble to see who captures the general alive first!"
Xue Atan was killing the rise, and he also responded: "Okay, Ah Niu will fight with Brother Li!", after speaking, he was going to fight his way out of the encirclement and take the disheveled general.
Xu Zhi saw that the fire in the camp was burning more and more, and several flames had been connected into a large area, straight into the sky, reflecting half of the sky, even if the soldiers struggled to put out the fire, they could not be completely extinguished for a while, he saw Li Cunxiao and Xue Atan killing more and more bravely, afraid that they would forget the business, and hurriedly reminded loudly: "Cun Xiao, Ah Niu can't fall in love with war, let's kill a bloody road and rush out of the barracks!"
Li Cunxiao listened, and then pulled Xue Atan and followed Xu Zhi, Zhou Yuanzhi and others to the bank of the Bianhe River. At this time, the ** officer, and a lieutenant general each rode a war horse, a spear in their hands, and stopped everyone, Li Cunxiao immediately popped a stone from his hand and hit the officer's face, and the officer shook on the horse and fell to the ground.
With a quick hand and a wooden stick in his hand, he stepped forward and made a move to "sweep away a thousand troops", hitting the front hooves of another lieutenant's horse, and knocking him off the horse.
Seeing that the obstacles to progress had been cleared, Xu Zhi roared and led everyone to jump into the swarthy Bianhe River.
When everyone swam back to shore, Xu Zhi was anxious to save Huifeng. Zhou Yuanzhi persuaded with a smile: "Brother Xu, you see that we are soaked, why don't we find a secluded place near the barracks, make a fire, dry our clothes, and take a look at Zhu Wen's movements by the way!"
Before Xu Zhi could answer, He Mengjiao echoed: "Sister Zhou, this idea is the best, we are drenched in water, even if we save people, we can't use our fists and feet!"
Everyone lit a fire in the dense forest not far from Bianshui, sat on the ground, while talking, while observing the movement on the official road not far away, and after a while the sound of horses' hooves came from a distance, Xu Zhi hurriedly extinguished the open fire, and everyone also held their breath, only to see several black shadows galloping through the woods on fast horses.
Zhou Yuanzhi and the others walked away, and said with some disappointment: "I didn't expect Zhu Wen to act very cautiously, he actually sent a few soldiers to scout the news first!"
Xue Atan said worriedly: "Brother Xu, what if Zhu Wen sees through our plan and doesn't send troops to rescue, or only sends a few people to rescue?"
Xu Zhi said with a smile: "Then we will divide the troops into two ways, Cun Xiao, Ah Niu, Anger, and Idiot, you follow Sister He to assassinate Zhu Wen, and then fill in the chaos for Zhu Wen's military camp, Yuan Zhi and I will take advantage of the chaos to save Senior Brother Hui, so that nothing goes wrong!", everyone listened, and they even claimed that it was good!
After a while, the sound of horses' hooves was heard in the distance, and Xu Zhi said: "We must try to intercept these few people who reported the news, and after asking for details, put on their clothes and blend into the Zhuwen camp!"
Li Cunxiao said yes, first jumped out of the dense forest, and lay in the middle of the road, Xue Atan and the others were not far behind, waving the weapons in their hands to stop the soldiers who were hurrying away. When the leading general saw that there was a thin young man blocking the way, his face could not be seen clearly, he shouted: "Who is in front of you? Why are you blocking the way of the official errand?"
Li Cunxiao smiled and said, "Trouble the chief to get off the horse and talk!", without waiting for the general to answer, he jumped on the horse and dragged the general off the horse. Another general saw that the situation was not right, and was just about to turn his horse's head and run away, when Li Cunxiao popped out a stone and hit the back of the man's head.
The remaining generals shouted, "It's really bad luck, we have met the robbers tonight, brothers, we simply rush out of the encirclement!"
Seeing the menacing soldiers, they couldn't help but take a few steps back. He swung the stick in his hand with all his might, and made a move to "sweep away a thousand troops", breaking the leg of a soldier's horse, and the soldier fell heavily from his horse. The idiot made a move "Danfeng Chaoyang", jumped high, hit the man's eyebrows with a stick, and knocked him off the horse. The rest of the soldiers saw that Xu Zhi and the others were extraordinary, and they no longer dared to resist, and dismounted one after another and begged for mercy.
Xu Zhi asked for the password to enter the camp and some scenes in the camp, and ordered everyone to change into the clothes of those soldiers, ride their war horses, and smoothly enter the north gate of the Zhuwen camp. The soldiers were divided into two routes, one was He Mengjiao led Li Cunxiao, Xue Atan, Liao Anger, and Idiot to assassinate Zhu Wen in the big tent of the Chinese army, while Xu Zhi and Zhou Yuanzhi went to the south gate to save Huifeng. Before leaving, Xu Zhi repeatedly instructed everyone: In case of getting separated in the barracks, try to get out and return to Jingfu Inn.
At this time, it was close to the third watch, but it was said that Xu Zhi and Zhou Yuanzhi carefully bypassed the big tent of the Chinese army from the north gate, and it was very strange to see the lights in the barracks along the way. The two walked a few hundred steps to the south, heard the noise of people in front of them from a distance, and when they got closer, they saw Zhu Wen standing in front of the general's platform, saying something loudly.
Zhou Yuanzhi secretly said to Xu Zhi: "It's not good, Zhu Wen is not resting in the big tent, Miss He, they will definitely fail!"
Xu Zhi persuaded: "This is also that Zhu Wen's life should not be extinguished, and let him escape, but Yuan Zhi, you don't have to worry, Miss He, they are strong in martial arts, fight out of the encirclement, and return to the inn, there should be no danger!", Zhou Yuanzhi listened to Xu Zhi's persuasion, so she was relieved and listened to Zhu Wen in the distance.
I saw Zhu Wen angrily said: "The few soldiers sent out to explore the camp are really a bunch of waste, why haven't they come back to restore their lives until now, don't wait for them!" Li Zhen, this commander ordered you to lead a thousand soldiers and five hundred archers, put on the outfit of Li Ke with the crow army, and in the name of fighting fires, secretly surrounded the granary camp where Yun Feiyang and the others lived, and took advantage of the chaos to kill Yun Feiyang and others, and be sure to take the strange book from them. You have to pay attention, you must not let Yun Feiyang and the others know that it was our Bianjun who did it!" After Li Zhen listened to the order, he nodded to Zhu Wen, took the arrow, and led the men and horses to set off according to the plan.
Zhu Wen turned his head again and said to Ou Yangguang beside him: "General Ouyang has just recovered from his injuries, and you have worked hard to lead a thousand soldiers and five hundred archers as the front, take the first step, block the passage where Li Ke escaped with a chariot fence, and then set fire everywhere. ”
Ou Yangguang replied: "The subordinates are willing to serve the dogs and horses for the handsome, and the subordinates have to order the first step, and use the fire as the signal to jointly intercept and kill the Shatuo alien race!", after speaking, he led the soldiers in the audience to go out of the south gate first, Zhu Wen saw that the arrangements were in place, and also led thousands of soldiers to follow behind slowly.
Xu Zhi and Zhou Yuanzhi took advantage of the fact that Zhu Wen, Li Zhen, Ou Yangguang and other generals had left the barracks, and the entire barracks gradually returned to calm.
At this time, a general happened to lead his troops to patrol here, and shouted: "What do you two want to do when you two let go of your rebellion?"
Xu Zhi replied calmly: "Before Zhu Dashuai left, he instructed us to put down Huifeng in the middle of the night, feed him saliva and drink, and don't die of thirst!"
The general looked at Xu Zhi and Zhou Yuanzhi suspiciously, and didn't find anything abnormal, but just smiled at Zhou Yuanzhi: "This little brother is really too handsome, which battalion are you from, which general commands?"
Xu Zhi didn't know how to answer, so he had to fool and say: "General Yu, we are the personal soldiers under the command of the great marshal!"
The general nodded slightly, and sighed: "I didn't expect these two boys to become handsome soldiers at such a young age, which is enviable!", and left after speaking.
Seeing Hui Feng's hesitation, Xu Zhi hurriedly helped him open the rope and said softly: "Senior Brother Hui, eldest brother and Yuan Zhi are here to save you!"
Hui Feng shook his head, trying to spit out the grievances in his heart, but no matter how hard he tried, he could only make a sound from his throat, and he couldn't even say a complete sentence. Xu Zhi and Zhou Yuanzhi saw that Huifeng was already hoarse, and they all cried.
Hui Feng suddenly stretched out his crippled right hand and wrote laboriously on the ground, Xu Zhi saw that only a few big words were written on it: "Leave me alone, save King Jin, he lives in Shangyuanyi!"
Xu Zhi hurriedly said: "Senior Brother Hui, let's go with the eldest brother!", he saw that Huifeng's hands were crippled, dumb and dumb, and he was distressed.
Hui Feng laboriously wrote: "I am already a wasted person, there will be no danger, stay for revenge, don't worry!"
Zhou Yuanzhi asked with tears in her eyes, "Brother Hui, what about Sister Yingying?"
Hui Feng shook his head painfully, and struggled to write: "Leave me alone, hang me back to the pillar, and go and save the King of Jin!"
Xu Zhi saw that Huifeng had made up his mind, and was about to persuade him again, when he saw that the patrolling general leaned over again, he had no choice but to drop Huifeng back to the high platform, pull Zhou Yuanzhi, bypass the guards, turn out of the barracks, and go straight to Shangyuanyi.
Zhou Yuanzhi had no good impression of Li Keyong because Li Ke led the troops to chase down the Huangchao Rebels, but she had to let go of her prejudices against Li Keyong and follow Xu Zhi to Shangyuanyi because of the face of Xu Zhi and Huifeng.
This Shangyuan Station is located in the territory of Weishi County in the south of Bianzhou City, and when Xu and Zhou arrived at Shangyuanyi, they saw Shangyuanyi blazing into the sky, and the shouts were earth-shattering.
At this time, Li Ke was drunk and unconscious. There are only more than ten people outside the account, such as Li Siyuan, Li Cunxuan, Shi Jingsi, and Xue Zhiqin. When everyone heard the shouts, they had already woken up, and suddenly heard that Zhu Wen led the Bianjun to kill, and they fought with weapons, leaving the third Taibao Li Cunqiao alone to enter and wake up Li Keyong.
Li Cunmiao shouted a few times in front of him, only to hear the snoring in the tent like thunder, no answer, Li Cunmiao saw that the situation was urgent, and hurriedly dragged Li Keyong under the bed, and threw cold water on his face before he relieved Li Keyong's sleepiness. Li Ke opened his eyes with a prescription, took off his bow and arrows, and went to the big tent with Li Cunqing, and when the eleventh Taibao and Xue Zhiqin saw Li Ke using it, they hurriedly bent their bows and shot arrows, shooting dozens of Bian's soldiers.
Li Keyong, under the escort of the generals, was about to take the road away, but he knew that the road was full of barricades, flames everywhere, thick smoke was everywhere, and his eyes were fascinated, and everyone couldn't help but secretly complain.
Just as Li Ke raised his head to the sky and shouted: "Heaven is dead to me!" At this time, there was thunder and lightning, and the heavy rain poured down, extinguishing countless smoke and flames, leaving only the black barricades still blocking the post gate.
Just as everyone struggled to move the barrier and open the post door, Ou Yangguang suddenly rushed over from outside the door. Li Keyong and the generals had seen Ou Yangguang in Tongzhou with their own eyes, and they were all shocked to capture Meng Kai, the first warrior of Huangchao, and they didn't know whether to continue moving forward or retreat to the post station.
Li Keyong suddenly heard Shi Sijing, the eleventh Taibao behind him, shouting: "Please also ask my father and a few eldest brothers to go first, and this Ou Yangguang will let the child deal with him!", after speaking, he raised the long lance in his hand and attacked Ou Yangguang.
Although Ou Yangguang was seriously injured and just recovered, his strong internal strength did not decrease at all, he waved the long sword to block Shi Sijing's lance, Ou Yangguang passed the internal force of the Kaishan Zhenhu through the long lance to Shi Sijing's hands, Shi Sijing felt a shock to his hands, the tiger's mouth was numb, and he almost threw the long lance in his hand to the ground.
Seeing Shi Sijing's hands trembling, Ou Yangguang sneered, jumped up from his horse, stepped on the long lance in Shi Sijing's hand, and swung his sword to his eyes.
Shi Sijing never thought that Ou Yangguang not only had strong internal strength, but also had such good light skills, he had to abandon the long lance in his hand and retreat dozens of steps before he dodged Ou Yangguang's sword, just when he was secretly rejoicing, he saw Ou Yangguang smile at him, and did not step forward to fight, but waved his hand heavily.
Shi Sijing turned around, only then was shocked, it turned out that he was standing behind the archers of the Bianjun army, shooting thousands of arrows at himself, Shi Sijing's body was full of arrows, he staggered a few steps, and turned back to see that the obstacle of the post gate had just been cleared, and the king of Jin had not yet left the city, and he was put down by the Bianbing soldiers.
Shi Sijing endured the severe pain, used his arms against the slowly falling city gate, and shouted: "Father, brothers, quickly pass through this gate!"
