Chapter 858: Advancing to Qiuxi Gorge
() The so-called Saibei Hou, Xiguan Liu, and Lingnan Wang are proud of Qianqiu.
The Wang family, the Liu family and the Hou family are world friends, plus the original Luohumen, the four forces jointly assisted Emperor Gaozu to establish the Great Wei Dynasty, which can be described as the same life and death, and shared hardships. Therefore, the younger generation has continued this kind of friendship with each other, and they are also brothers to each other.
Wang Changkong is the only son of Wang Bing, the head of the Wang family, with the highest cultivation and the oldest, so he is naturally the eldest brother.
Liu-Xiaoyu is the son of Liu Jinkui, the head of the Liu family, and Xiu is the second brother.
Hou Feng is the son of Hou Zhao, the head of the Hou family, and he is the third again.
Lin Wu was also squeezed in because of his relationship as Lin Yanyi's son, and his cultivation was on par with Hou Feng, and he was the fourth.
However, Lin Yan didn't want to be like Wang, Liu, and Hou, and even if he declined, he always had a friendship. Lin Yan also got into a relationship with Fan Yang'a on a very occasional occasion, and only then was he accepted to lead the core of the Heavenly Dao, and there was always a trace of distance between Lin Yan and Lin Wu and the others.
Since Liu Xiaoyu is here, the person in charge is naturally Liu Xiaoyu.
Liu-Xiaoyu said solemnly: "Fourth, your raid this time was a little hasty, I will report the death of Lin Yan's predecessor to Senior Fan, these days you can rest assured in the villa to recuperate and recover, and the rest will be talked about later." ”
Hou Feng also nodded and said: "Fourth, don't blame yourself, how can there be a victorious general in the world, what we have to do is already hard, and sacrifices are inevitable, so don't blame yourself." ”
Lin Wu's face was sad, and he didn't say a word but nodded.
How could Lin Wu dare to tell the truth to the others, saying that he had left his father-in-law and fled alone? How could this be? Lin Wu only said that a few people were careless for a while, and fell into an ambush by Shang Zhengyu, Lin Yan was defeated by Su Mengxiao and was killed, and he went through nine deaths before he narrowly escaped from the battlefield.
For this reason, he even did not hesitate to scratch himself in two places before entering the villa, so as to see it miserable.
Liu-Xiaoyu waved his hand to take Lin Wu down to rest, and then retreated the others, leaving him and Hou Zhao alone in the room.
Hou Zhao was puzzled: "Second brother, there is a sentence that I don't vomit and be unhappy, second brother, do you not believe what the fourth brother said?"
"Believe it or not, is there any meaning at this moment?" After Lin Wu left, Liu Xiaoyu's originally relaxed face instantly turned cold, as if everything was done for Lin Wu to see.
Liu-Xiaoyu sneered: "You don't understand the fourth person, he is greedy for life and afraid of death, if it weren't for the relationship with Lin Yan's predecessors, he is afraid that he is a yellow wolf messenger in Hetian Dao, how can he be on an equal footing with our three brothers." ”
"But...... When he was in Yongzhou, he was still quite hardworking. Hou Zhao couldn't understand why Liu Xiaoyu was always extremely prejudiced against Lin Wu in private.
This is not the first time.
"Don't mention the affairs of Yongzhou. Liu Xiaoyu's face was indifferent, and his hand
Pointing to the rhythmic tapping on the armrest on the side of the seat, he said coldly: "Don't say that you didn't see it, several wounds left on his body are fresh, really as he said to escape death, will this be like this?
Liu-Xiaoyu observed meticulously, and guessed the approximate moment after just looking at some clues.
Liu-Xiaoyu turned his head to Hou Feng and said cautiously: "The third brother, I know that you usually go closest to the fourth, but the second brother wants to remind you that you must guard against him in the future. ”
Hou Feng nodded yes, indeed, when he was in Yongzhou, Wang Changkong was extremely enthusiastic about Lin Wu on the surface, but when Lin Wu left, Wang Changkong would deliberately tell Hou Zhao a few more words, although it was extremely vague, but at this moment, he should let himself be careful of Lin Wu.
"I remembered. Hou Zhao responded, and he had made a decision in his heart.
Early the next morning, the sentry immediately reported to Liu Xiaoyu that Mu Yuntian's army guarding Xiaokang City had suddenly moved, and it was heading in the direction of Qiuxi Gorge, and the intention was unknown.
Liu Xiaoyu's heart tightened, and a thought instantly popped up: "It can't be that you are going to attack Qiuxi Gorge!"
You must know that now is the calculation of days, Yongzhou's 50,000 elites will have a few days before they can enter Yanjing, if Qiuxi Gorge is lost, it will be a failure! Otherwise, Lin Yan would not have died to attack Mu Yuntian before, not to slow down his march!
"Probably how many people went. Hou Zhao asked hurriedly, he also knew that it was powerful.
The sentinel replied: "I don't know the specifics, but looking at the display of flags and the smoke and dust raised, I'm afraid there must be fifty or sixty thousand people." ”
"Fifty or sixty thousand people, that is to say, almost the army has been dispatched. ”
Liu-Xiaoyu's eyes were extremely solemn, and then he asked, "What is the movement of the Dongfang family on the other side?"
As soon as he finished asking Liu Xiaoyu, he slapped his head, he was really confused, this sentry was in charge of keeping an eye on Xiaokang City and Mu Yuntian's army, even if there was movement in the Dongfang family dozens of miles away on the other side, how could he know.
Hou Zhao waved his hand: "Go down and probe again, you bring two more brothers over, and come back in less than an hour to report the situation alone, if there is an emergency, you will be notified immediately, and there must be no mistakes." ”
"Yes!" the sentry stepped back.
"It's not good...... Liu Xiaoyu's eyes kept flickering, and he said angrily: "Damn, it must be the death of Lin Yan's predecessor that made Mu Yuntian feel that he had lifted a big crisis, so he could rest assured and boldly enter Qiuxi Gorge!"
"I just don't know if this time is to put pressure on Qiuxi Gorge or really march, if it is, then we have to act! At the very least, we have to cause some trouble for them. ”
At noon, the sentinel returned to the palace, and Mu Yuntian's army had arrived at the east entrance of Qiuxi Gorge, and was confronting General Lianshan who was defending Qiuxi Gorge inside
No fighting.
On the other side, the army of the Dongfang family also moved, although there was no army dispatched, but 20,000 people had already set off and were approaching Qiuxi Gorge, and it was estimated that they would reach Qiuxi Gorge in the evening.
This news was like a thunderbolt from the blue, and Liu Xiaoyu and Hou Zhao changed their faces together.
The gloom on Liu Xiaoyu's face was as thick as a dark cloud, and he said fiercely: "Go to find out for me, and find out all the news related to their grain and grass baggage, if it really doesn't work, we will attack the military camp at night and burn their grain and grass!"
"Is this okay?" Hou Zhao was a little worried, but at this time, the situation was urgent, and he couldn't think of any other way for a while, so he could only take one step at a time.
Liu Xiaoyu never imagined that he would have such a tormented life one day, he paced back and forth in the meeting hall of the villa, and the slightest disturbance outside the door made him immediately look up and want to look out.
He wished to see the sentry who had come back to report, but he was terrified of seeing the sentry. He wanted to know what was going on, but he was also afraid to hear the last thing he wanted to hear.
Lin Wu didn't show up all day, saying that he was recuperating his injuries in the room, but everyone knew that he was evading, for fear that Liu Xiaoyu would criticize him harshly.
In the midst of such torment, evening finally came.
As the door was pushed open, the black-clothed sentry had been running back and forth all day, which had already made him sweat profusely, and even the situation cultivation felt a little out of breath.
Hou Zhao personally poured a cup of hot tea and brought it to the black-clothed sentry, put away the uneasiness in his heart and pretended to be calm: "Don't worry, it's not too late to slow down." ”
"Yes, thank you, sir. The black-clothed sentry drank the tea in one gulp, raised his cuffs to wipe the water stains at the corner of his mouth, and took a deep breath to report: "Two adults, as expected by the two adults, the army of the Dongfang family rushed to the vicinity of Qiuxi Gorge at ten o'clock in the evening, and the two armies of Mu Yuntian and the Dongfang family were stationed very close, only a few miles away. ”
Before the sun set, Mu Yuntian sent his son Mu Zheng out to provoke the defenders of Qiuxi Gorge, but General Lianshan did not respond. ”
"The specific scale has also been roughly explored, Mu Yuntian's army has more than 50,000 people, and the Dongfang family has about 20,000 people, which is consistent with the previous intelligence and has not changed. ”
............
The sentry detective was extremely conscientious, and told him everything about what he heard today, and he heard Liu Xiaoyu and Hou Feng nodding frequently.
Liu Xiaoyu's face was not good-looking, judging from the style of Mu Yuntian and the Dongfang family this time, I am afraid that they are really going to attack Qiuxi Gorge. Although after taking Liangzhou, Mu Yuntian and the Dongfang family each repaired for half a month, and it was time to attack, but at this time, Liu Xiaoyu still refused to accept it.
After all, Yanjing's affairs have not yet been completed!
