It was just dawn, and in the distance, the sound of horses' hooves broke the silence of the early morning. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoThe sound of horses' hooves like thunder indicates that a large cavalry force is coming.

Although he marched all night and never closed his eyes to rest for even a moment, Yuan Qi's face did not see the slightest tiredness, only deep worry and concern. Yuan Qi was worried about Qi Tian's safety, he didn't know how Qi Tian would face Dong Meng, but one thing, Yuan Qi was sure that over the years, with his understanding of Qi Tian, he knew that Qi Tian would never face Dong Meng. It is precisely because of this that Yuan Qi will be anxious, the closer he gets to the capital, the more impatient Yuan Qi's heart becomes, and he can't wait to fly into the capital immediately.

Jia Yuan with endless exhaustion, lying on the back of the horse, for Jia Yuan, one Jia Yuan is not young, the other Jia Yuan is a scribe, and his physical fitness is far less than that of a general, so he rushed all the way, Jia Yuan was already tired and out of breath. But Jia Yuan still struggled to follow Yuan Qi's side, and said breathlessly: "Lord...... Lord, I've ...... has already sent it to Song Qiong...... The news was sent, Song Qiong is willing to do the internal response, and the capital ...... Erect a green tooth banner on the city to attack the city...... Song Qiong will ...... Will open the city gate to receive the lord's ......"

Seeing that Jia Yuan was already tired and panting, but still insisted on making suggestions, Yuan Qi was deeply moved in his heart, and said in an apologetic tone: "There is Mr. Lao, after this time, I must find a few more people to help Mr. share more." "Jia Yuan has a very special status in the Yuan Qi Army, he is neither in charge of internal affairs like Xun Luo and Lu Su, nor is he in charge of one side like Cui Shou, Deng Zhi and others. is even more different from Zhao Hu and other generals who gallop on the battlefield, and Yuan Qi has always used Jia Yuan as an all-round panacea. Where something went wrong, or where there was no one in charge for the time being. Yuan Qi will send Jia Yuan to preside over the overall situation as soon as possible, and Jia Yuan has never disappointed Yuan Qi, although he wears many hats, Jia Yuan has completed every job in his hands very well. As a result, Jia Yuan has never had a day off in the past two years, and has been working twelve hours a day.

Yuan Qi also saw this, but there was no proper solution, and Yuan Qi had a lot of fierce generals. However, there are too few talents in political affairs, and the polarization is extremely serious, either big names like Xun Luo, Lu Su and Gu Yong, or little-known scholars from humble families, whose talents are also very limited. Yuan Qi is short of those middle-level cadres, this problem, Yuan Qi is not unaware, but he has not found a suitable way to solve it. The edict has been promulgated twice in Youzhou, but it has had little effect. It seems that after returning to Youzhou after this battle, it is necessary to change the system of recruiting talents.

Jia Yuan, who was lying on horseback, suddenly said, "Li ...... Confucian, Li Wenwei. It's ...... Not bad. Yuan Qi was stunned when he heard this, and then reacted, Jia Yuan is recommending Li Ru to himself again.

Yuan Qi, who is familiar with history, knows that there are too many buried talents under Dong Meng, and Li Ru is just the most famous of them. In addition to Li Ru, Xu Rong, who is now leading the Flying Bear Army in the battle with Yuan Ding and others, is also a rare handsome talent, as well as Zhang Long's uncle, Zhang Ji, the Taishou of the Northland, is also among them. The people under his command could not make the best use of their talents, but violently destroyed the heavens, and it is not surprising that Dong Meng's defeat was not surprising.

Looking in the direction of the capital city again, Yuan Qi prayed silently in his heart: "Big brother, hold on, brother has come to save you!"

Qi Tian, who seemed to feel Yuan Qi's concern and was tied to the gallows by Wuhuada, suddenly raised his head to look at the rising sky, with a satisfied smile on his face, and whispered: "Second brother, is it you again?"

Ruyu, who had been guarding Qi Tian's side all night, asked softly: "Who is the general's second brother?" Qi Tian turned his head, looked at the picturesque Ruyu, sighed deeply, and said slowly: "Ruyu, from today on, you will forget Qi Tian and treat it as a ...... You've never met someone like Qi Tian. After a night of calm thinking, Qi Tian knew that he was really in love with Ruyu, but Ruyu was Yuan Qi's sweetheart, Qi Tian forced himself to put away his attachment to Ruyu, and deliberately pretended to be cold and said this to Ruyu.

Ruyu stretched out her arms and wrapped them around Qi Tian's waist, leaned her head on Qi Tian's broad chest, and said softly: "In the future? If the general dies, how can Ruyu live alone? ”

Looking at Ruyu's calm and resolute expression, "Ruyu, you ......" Qi Tian's words were not finished, Ruyu gently stretched out her jade hand, covered Qi Tian's mouth, and said to Qi Tian with anticipation in her eyes: "General, don't say anything again, okay?" Just let Ruyu quietly accompany the general and spend the last bit of time with the general, okay?" Qi Tian felt that his vision blurred, and there seemed to be a layer of mist blocking his eyes. Slowly closing his eyes, Qi Tian did not speak again, but nodded slightly.

At the same time, on the city wall of the north gate of the capital, Song Qiong was slightly nervous and looked on the road outside the city from time to time. Last night, Song Qiong received a message from Jia Yuan, and agreed to erect the Qingya banner on the city wall at ten o'clock this morning, and Song Qiong was responsible for opening the north gate of the capital to welcome Yuan Qi's army into the city.

Last night, Song Qiong told the news to several veteran ministers loyal to the Yuan Association overnight, and everyone unanimously felt that this plan was feasible, and hurriedly formulated a more detailed plan. Before dawn, Wang Nuo, Zhong Xuan, and other old ministers went to the court early, pretending to persuade Dong Meng to ascend the throne and become emperor, so as to divert Dong Meng's attention and drag Dong Meng; Huangfu Chu and Zhu Huan and other generals disguised themselves and disguised themselves as Song Qiong's personal soldiers, and came to the city wall at the north gate of the capital together, waiting for Yuan Qi's arrival; Jinshang, Du Ji and other famous people Hongru quietly rushed to Dongguan to protect those precious books that have been handed down from generation to generation. Except for Yuan and father and son, the rest of the people acted separately, and everything was in full swing at the same time.

Feeling Song Qiong's nervousness at this time, Huang Fuchu quietly came behind Song Qiong and asked in a low voice, "Are you nervous?" Song Qiong turned around, saw that it was Huang Fuchu, slowly exhaled a breath, and asked in a low voice: "Dong Thief has been in trouble with the dynasty for so long, and the moment of ambush is finally coming, aren't you nervous, my lord?" Although Huang Fuchu has now resigned from the position of general of the chariot and cavalry, his prestige is still loud, so Song Qiong still calls him an adult in order to show respect for Huang Fuchu.

Huangfu Chu smiled slightly, the corners of his mouth turned in the other direction, and at the same time said: "Why aren't you nervous, your palms are sweaty." You see, Zhu Huan is over there, isn't he secretly clenching his fists? Everyone's heart is nervous, but don't show it on the surface, lest others see the flaws. "Because at this time, in addition to the city guards under Song Qiong's department, there was also a part of the Xiliang army on the city wall, so Huang Fuchu specially came over to tell Song Qiong to let him relax as much as possible.

Song Qiong pretended to look inadvertently in the direction of Huangfu Chu's guidance, and saw that Zhu Huan was leaning on the city wall at the moment, pretending to play with his clothes and armor at will, but his free hand was already tightly clenched into a fist. Suddenly, Zhu Huan stopped playing with his big hand in his clothes and armor, and leaned his ear against the city wall, and his face gradually showed a hint of joy.

Huangfu Chu, who had been with Zhu Huan for a long time, immediately noticed the change in Zhu Huan's face, and quietly handed Zhu Huan an inquiring look. Zhu Huan listened intently for a while, and then nodded in confirmation. Huangfu walked towards the city gate tower casually, and when he passed by Song Qiong's side, he whispered: "Yuan Junhou is here." ”

Song Qiong was shocked, and then pretended to be casual, approached the officer of the Xiliang Army, and said with a fake smile: "Brother, when you take a break for a while, how about inviting you to have a drink?" The Xiliang officer laughed twice, waved his hand and said: "Forget it, our family still invites you, our Xiliang Army's salary is three times that of yours." ”

On the horizon, the figure of Yuan Qi's white horse and golden armor stood out, and the heavy mixed yuan halberd in his hand pointed towards the gate of the capital, and shouted: "Target the city gate of the capital, the whole army charges!" After Yuan got up, teams of cavalry appeared one after another, and along the direction pointed by the Yuan Qi mixed yuan halberd, the horse launched the most violent impact.

The horse's hooves beat the ground violently, and the Xiliang army in the capital city finally noticed that something was wrong, and the officer who was talking to Song Qiong frowned and said: "How can there be thunder in the early morning, no, this is not thunder, this, oh my God, this is the sound of horses' hooves!"

"That's right, it's the sound of horses' hooves, and I also know that those cavalry are the subordinates of the champion Hou Yuanjun Hou!" Song Qiong attached to the Xiliang officer's ear and whispered, at the same time, Song Qiong's right hand shook, and a sharp dagger slipped from his sleeve, shining on the back of the Xiliang officer's heart, stabbing down fiercely!

"Uh...... Enemy...... Attack ......" The Xiliang officer spit out three words weakly, and then cut off his breath.

Zhu Huan, who was leaning on the city wall, took off the helmet that covered his face, pulled out his war knife and shouted vigorously: "Kill Dong thief today!

In the city gate tower, Huang Fu Chu held a sharp sword in his hand and shouted to the soldiers in the city gate tower: "Open the city gate and welcome the champion into the city!"
