Xie Tong said in his heart, isn't this to let Lao Tzu go to death? It is a taboo for a lone army to go deep, and it is necessary to disturb the rear, as for capturing Huang Chao alive, isn't this a joke? But he also understood what Wang Daoxun meant, that is, to let his soldiers and horses become a-stirring stick, and make the rear as chaotic as possible, if a situation is created in which a large army goes deep, Zhu Wen will inevitably change the deployment of troops, and Wang Daoxun's goal will be achieved. The task is very difficult, not only to wreak havoc, but also to create the illusion of being alone, and at the same time not to confront the enemy head-on. He didn't make a sound, but slowly followed this line of thought to think more deeply.

Wang Daoxun saw that Xie Tong was silent, he sighed and said, "The old man knows that this task is extremely arduous, and it is very likely that there will be no return, but the current situation of our army is really unable to deal with the enemy's defensive deployment, and if the other goes on, it will be different from the previous end, but this time the empire can no longer afford to lose, if the Southern Expeditionary Army fails again, Huang Chao can make a comeback and regain the Central Plains." Therefore, if you want to win, you must sacrifice a miracle trick, and the virtuous nephew is the key person in this miracle trick, and it is also the most important point."

Xie Tong made a secret decision, and finally said, "Please rest assured, the little nephew will definitely live up to the trust of the adult, and he will do his best this time, but it is unknown what kind of result it can have, and I don't know when the adult plans to set off!"

Wang Daoxun continued, "The old man plans to draw good hands from various military camps, count a thousand people, all cavalry, and other conditions are up to you, and the moment Kexu City attacks Yangzhou City, it is the time for you to set off!"

When Xie Tong returned to the rest place arranged for him by the guards, he was still recalling what Wang Daoxun had said in his mind! It is not difficult to see that Wang Daoxun is a strong supporter of the Tang Empire, but such a lone army is deep. In the face of the encirclement and suppression of hundreds of thousands of enemy troops, I am afraid that the possibility of survival is very small, and his answer seems to be a little too painful.

When he returned to the rest place, Huo Zixin was drinking wine, and there were still a few lo-mei dishes on the table, and he seemed to be in a good mood.

Xie Tong sat silently at the table. He also drank it to himself.

Huo Zixin didn't look at him and said, "What are you doing with a listless look, General Xie has made a meritorious contribution, he should be happy, why does he look like he is going to die!"

Xie Tong swallowed a glass of wine and said, "I'm afraid I'm really going to die!"

Huo Zixin was almost choked, and hurriedly asked, "What's going on!"

Xie Tong told the story of the strange soldiers.

Huo Zixin's eyes narrowed in astonishment, and said, "You promised him!"

Xie Tong nodded, indicating that this was the case.

Huo Zixin put down the wine glass in his hand and said, "Lao Tzu, look at you, you are simply carried away by victory. I don't know how thick the sky is! Just a thousand men and horses, I want to make trouble behind the enemy, it's not Lao Tzu who scares you, just come to an army and can easily eat your little people, and there are no bones left!"

Xie Tong said, "I have promised Old Man Wang, but it is not that there is no chance of winning, the light horse comes and goes, and the enemy may not be so easy to eat Lao Tzu." One is not good, Lao Tzu broke off his teeth. This time, Old Man Wang has invested a lot of money, and the soldiers and equipment are chosen at will, and we will not suffer a loss."

Huo Zixin glanced at Xie Tong and said, "Isn't this a loss?" Hey, do you have a grudge against the old king! So many generals don't choose, they have to let you die. Isn't it what happened to your daughter Wang Wanru!"

Xie Tong said, "Where is the nonsense, don't you know what kind of person Lao Tzu is?" But I have already asked the old king for someone, and the first one is you!"

Huo Zixin shuddered, he directly thought of the scene of being surrounded by countless enemies that day, and he hurriedly said, "Lao Tzu is not going!"

Xie Tong said: "I can't help you in this matter." Don't forget what you said when you made your bows! If you make a great contribution this time, Old Man Wang can agree to anything, and it is possible to marry his daughter!"

Huo Zixin was suddenly stunned, Xie Tong could clearly feel that Huo Zixin seemed to be distracted by something, and he hurriedly said, "Boy, what are you thinking!

Huo Zixin's face turned slightly red, and then flashed, and said, "Lao Tzu is not as dirty as you, eating what is in the pot and looking at what is in the bowl! Lao Tzu pursues the ultimate in martial arts and the sublimation of the soul, but I am afraid that he has not had a chance to see through this truth, and he has already died on the battlefield, hey! I recognize such an unlucky big brother, go! I hope this adventure can let Lao Tzu taste a different world!"

Xie Tong suddenly moved, and said, "Count your kid with a conscience, drink!"

For a few days, the army has been stationed in the Great Wall of Heaven, including the Yanjing army of Kexu City, for Xie Tong's surprise attack on the Great Wall of Heaven, the arrogant Kexu City still can't stop praising it, and the news of this great victory has spread all over the three armies, even the Chinese and Western armies also know about it, Xie Tong's two consecutive victories have become god-like, this is the first time since the Huangchao Uprising, it is the first time that someone can attack the city and seize the land under the condition of the situation disadvantage, so that the righteous army is helpless.

In order to celebrate the breakthrough results of the Eastern Route Army, Li Zhaofeng, the king of Ye, also deigned to come to the Great Wall of Heaven. These days are full of wine and feasts, all of which are celebrating. Xie Tong was very reluctant to participate in this kind of hypocritical banquet, and he had been busy with the demonic journey that was about to begin, making final preparations. In fact, he didn't know what to bring, this was not an ordinary expedition, because deep into the rear of the enemy's army, they did not have any supplies, they could only rely on war to feed the war, food, Arrows and forage are all to be snatched, Xie Tong even feels that this is no different from the horse thief on the grassland, the only difference is that he is not as bloody and cruel as a horse thief, and he will not kill innocents indiscriminately, but when he thinks of grabbing something to eat, he also feels very uncomfortable in his heart, he is a person from a poor family, and he knows the suffering of the people in the poor family, fortunately, Jiangnan is the land of fish and rice, and there is no shortage of food, he was leaning on a carriage to think, and suddenly a big hand slapped him on the shoulder.

Xie Tong looked back, and the person who came turned out to be Lai Kezhong who was competing for arrows in the school field, Lai Kezhong's tall body stood in front of Xie Tong like an iron tower, he looked at Xie Tong with a smile on his face, and said, "Brother Xie is so leisurely, why don't you go to the banquet of the guest to drink!"

Xie Tong suddenly thought that he was from Ke Xu City, Ke Xu Cheng was insidious and cunning, which made Xie Tong very uncomfortable, but Lai Kezhong was different, Xie Tong had a very good impression of him, this person was true and sincere, very manly, especially in the school competition, he lost very gracefully, Xie Tong smiled and said, "It turned out to be Brother Lai, the little brother doesn't like to join in the fun, it's not as clean as here!"

Lai Kezhong said: "Brother Xie, don't mind if Lai disturbs your purity!"

Xie Tong smiled and said, "How can this be, Brother Lai is a figure admired by the younger brother, and it is a happy thing in life to be able to talk freely with Brother Lai!"

"Okay" Lai Kezhong said with a smile, "Lai likes Brother Xie's fast-talking character, like is like, disgust is disgust, how can there be so many mothers-in-law and mothers, come, drink some!" After that, he took out two wine bottles from behind him and handed one bottle directly to Xie Tong.

Xie Tong took the wine and smelled it, and said, "It's knife wine, this wine is produced in the north, the wine is extremely strong, the first sip must be extremely spicy, but the second sip will become more and more sweet, although the younger brother has never drunk this wine, but he has already heard of it." ”

Lai Kezhong said with a smile: "Brother Xie must be a lover of wine, otherwise he will know the origin of wine just by smelling it." Hey, this is the wine I brought from Yanjing, there are only two bottles left!

Xie Tong raised the bottle to drink with him, and when he took a sip of wine, Xie Tong suddenly felt that his mouth was dry, and a line of fire ran directly down his throat to his lower abdomen, the taste was really indescribable, as if the fire was burning, and the knife wine really lived up to its reputation.

Lai Kezhong was obviously used to drinking this wine, he drank two sips in a row, and said, "It's enjoyable!"

Xie Tong learned from him, endured the spicy, poured a sip, and the wine was in his mouth again, without the initial heat, but a strong fragrance, this kind of wine made from northern sorghum is really different.

Lai Kezhong wiped his mouth and said, "Lai is a straightforward person, and he also likes to make friends with straightforward people, to be honest, Brother Xie attacked the Great Wall of Heaven this time, and he fought really beautifully, and in the case of almost the same number of troops, he took it down hard, so that Lai admired it very much, and Lai heard that Brother Xie and Brother Fearless fought more than 100 enemy soldiers, and even broke a huge door bolt about three feet thick with one palm, such deeds, Lai really admired. ”

Xie Tong smiled and said, "If Brother Lai is like this, the younger brother is laughing and generous, this rumor is too exaggerated, the younger brother and the fearless brother almost died on the spot!"

Lai Kezhong laughed out loud and said, "This is also where Lai admires Brother Xie, there is one to say, and two to say, this is the real hero." Come on, do it!"

Xie Tong took another sip, he praised this Lai Kezhong's temperament very much, this is also a man worth befriending, but it is a pity that he is a person from Kexucheng, Kexucheng is such a sinister and cunning person, why is there such a person working for him, it is really not worth it for Lai Kezhong. A thought suddenly flashed through his mind, if Lai Kezhong could be brought into his light cavalry unit, then this time he would increase his chances of victory by going deep behind the enemy's army. After all, Lai Kezhong's archery skills are outstanding, and he is a rare master. He said tentatively, "This time, the guest lord is mainly attacking Yangzhou City, I don't know what function Brother Lai plays."

Lai Kezhong sighed and said, "It's not clear for the time being, Lord Ke did not disclose the relevant details, but set the time for the siege, it was three days later, the army went south, and Lord Liao was responsible for the two wings of the army, but Lai was not very optimistic about storming Yangzhou City, Huangchao has been operating Yangzhou for many years, how can it be so easy to fight down, and other enemy troops will not stand idly by, Yangzhou is the gateway to the cities south of the Yangtze River, and it will not be easily given up, this battle must be very tragic."

Xie Tong listened to his analysis and already understood what he meant, although Lai Kezhong did not say it explicitly, but he had already expressed his opinion, but he was not optimistic about this. It seems that this person also has a deep experience in marching and fighting, and is not as ignorant as he seems, and it seems that this person is also depressed on the side of Kexu City, otherwise he would not have this feeling. Xie Tong smiled and said, "If there are other marching plans, should Brother Lai think about it!"

Lai Kezhong's eyes shot a bright light, and it disappeared in a flash, and said, "Brother Xie, please speak!" (To be continued.) )
