Wei Dingbang looked left and right, and found that a mysterious man wearing a silver unicorn ornament appeared next to him. Dozens of people in black suits and crossbow machines were looking at him beside the silver-masked man.
Hunting geese all day long, I didn't expect to be pecked by geese when I came. Wei Dingbang was originally a soldier of Yingyang Mansion in the early years of the Great Cause, belonging to the Yue cavalry, skilled in archers and horses, and skilled. Once drunk, he delayed the fighter plane and was whipped by Shangguan. According to the crime, Wei Dingbang is actually a capital crime, but he was only whipped, and he already has the element of human affection. But Wei Dingbang was very unconvinced, and afterwards he gave his Shangguan food to vent his anger, and after the matter was revealed, Wei Dingbang had no choice but to take three or five good brothers and escape from Yingyang Mansion. With no livelihood, Wei Dingbang opened a mountain and set up a cabinet, making a living by beating stuffy sticks, robbing and looting money, until he was subdued by Wei Dao'er.
It is said that Wei Dingbang is under the nose of Tang Jun at this time, and he will not be so careless at all. In fact, he was really not careless, in front of the hidden cave where he was temporarily camped, there were three sentry posts inside and out, but now he was still on the other party's way, and it was obvious that the other party was more proficient in this way.
Looking at the cold and shining crossbow arrows, Wei Dingbang didn't dare to move, if he dared to make the slightest move, he would definitely die on the spot.
"Dare to ask what your feet want?" Wei Dingbang is also a person who came over with strong winds and waves, and when he encountered this situation, he was very calm. On the surface, he is quiet, but in his heart he is speculating about the origin and identity of this mysterious person.
The silver-masked man said in a hoarse voice: "The three-eyed general Wei Dingbang, this son wants to ask you, do you want to die or live!" β
Wei Dingbang breathed a sigh of relief, since the other party said so, he definitely didn't mean to kill him: "How do you want to die, and what do you want to live?" β
The silver-faced man said: "It must be very simple, three or four hundred remnants of Liu Wuzhou, I think I can also let the Tang army exchange a lot of reward, but this son walked to the Weize Pass thirty miles away, and within half an hour, you are the prisoners of the Tang army, and none of them can escape!" β
"We have no hatred in the past, no grievances in the near future, if we only take the life of a certain family, we will not be so wasteful!" Wei Dingbang said lightly: "If you have any requirements, you might as well say it clearly!" β
The silver-faced man said coldly, "I want you to help me kill someone!" β
Wei Dingbang said: "Kill whom?" β
The silver-faced man said, "Martial Arts Hou Chen Ying!" β
Wei Dingbang sighed and said: "It's too difficult for a strong man to step down, if I have the ability to kill Chen Ying, why would I fall into such a field today?" You'd better cut me off in the head. β
Wei Dingbang is the truth, although he is not Wei Chigong's descendant, but he participated in the duel between Wei Chigong and Chen Ying.
However, Chen Ying had less than 2,000 cavalry under his command, but he almost wiped out Wei Chigong. This is like a big gap, so that Wei Dingbang doesn't have the slightest intention of fighting against Chen Ying in his heart.
The silver-masked man smiled and said: "You are still a little self-aware, with your few pieces of waste, it is naturally not so easy to kill Chen Ying, half a month later, Chen Ying was returned to Chang'an, there are only more than 100 guards before leaving, they will pass through the Mouse Bird Valley, you should know what to do, right?" β
"If it's an ambush, then there's hope for success!" Wei Dingbang said with a smile: "As long as you prepare dry firewood and fire oil, one wall at both ends, it will be difficult for Chen Ying to fly." β
The silver-masked man chattered and said, "Very smart, this son likes to deal with smart people the most!" β
"The emperor doesn't send starving soldiers, so he won't want to make a brother in vain, right?" Wei Dingbang said: "Killing the founding army of the Tang Dynasty, this crime is not small, there is no place for me in the world, why do you have to give some hard-earned money?" β
"Ten thousand!"
"Not enough!"
"Plus a thousand stone of grain!"
"It's still not enough!"
"Don't be too greedy!" The silver-masked man said coldly: "Although Chen Ying's life is expensive, 10,000 yuan is already a lot. β
"This money is earned with a life, and it needs to be spent with a life!" Wei Dingbang said: "With Chen Yingzhi's ability, it is really not easy to ambush him!" β
"What do you want?"
"10,000 yuan, 1,000 stone of grain, and 500 horses!" Wei Dingbang said: "After the matter is completed, our brothers must run outside the customs to survive!" β
"Don't you ask why we are doing everything possible to assassinate Chen Ying?" The silver-masked man asked.
"There are some things that must be done, otherwise I won't be able to pass this level." Wei Dingbang sighed lightly, thinking of his various experiences, he sighed: "Since it is unbearable to live, you might as well be heroic in doing things, take me as an example, there are some people in my heart, if anyone hurts them, I will do everything possible to take their lives, what is the pity of death?" Chen Ying is invincible, invincible, killing thousands of people, countless people have a deep hatred with him, you want to kill him, what can I understand? β
The silver-masked man clapped his hands gently, and after a while, several black-clothed warriors carried two large boxes into the cave. Looking at the struggling appearance of the four majestic black-clothed warriors, the weight of these two boxes should not be light.
The two big black boxes were placed heavily on the ground, and there was an echo of "dong dong" in the hidden cave, Wei Dingbang turned around, but saw that the box was opened, and a snowy silver light pierced his eyes a little too much.
"This is the finest official silver, fifty taels for a ingot. Two boxes, each with 60 pieces, a total of 6,000 taels! The silver-masked man said: "This is just a deposit, after the matter is completed, someone will send the other half!" β

In Huzhou City, Song Jingang looked at the Tang soldiers outside the city, and the Tang soldiers were in the army again. With the defeat of Fan Junzhang's army in Shenchi, he was captured by Yu Guni, a general under Chen Ying, outside Wei Ze Pass, Wei Chigong and Xunxiang surrendered to the Tang army. In fact, Wei Chigong and Xunxiang did not want Chen Ying to surrender.
Because there is Princess Pingyang in Weize Pass, fools know where to go. The situation took a sharp turn for the worse, which Song Jingang did not expect, he never imagined that Liu Wuzhou had 30,000 elite soldiers, and the danger of Yanmen Pass, blocking Chen Ying in Yanmen Pass, let alone half a year, even if it was three months, Chen Yingshi's veteran soldiers were tired, and they would definitely retreat, but now it is good, with Chen Ying taking Yanmen Pass, Lou Fu Pass, and the soldiers surrounding Taiyuan, Liu Wuzhou is at the end of his rope.
Song Jingang was very dissatisfied with Liu Wuzhou.
Not to mention that 30,000 elite soldiers defended Yanmen Pass when there was no shortage of armor, even if 30,000 pigs were put in Yanmen Pass, Chen Ying would not be able to break through the pass in just one day.
I don't know what Liu Wuzhou thinks, he can't even guard Yanmen Pass, and he actually thinks about guarding Taiyuan, which is too naΓ―ve.
At this time, the Tang army increased more and more troops.
In fact, with Chen Yingfeng, Sheng, Shuo, and Yanmen Pass winning big victories one after another, the Turks fled far away, and Li Yuan was already confident of cleaning up Hedong, the only thing that was not different from history was the battle of Hedong, not led by Li Shimin, but by Li Jiancheng.
"Report!" The messenger sentry rode over from the side with a long longitudinal horse, "Eighteen miles to the west, there is now a large number of Tang army foot riders, the number is unknown, and at most half an hour will delay to approach the ...... of Huzhou."
"Withdraw, King." Song Jingang's brother, deputy general Zhang Tiehu, suggested to Song Jingang with difficulty.
At this time, the Tang army had surpassed the Tianxing army in terms of strength. Although the news of Liu Wuzhou's defeat was blocked by Song Jingang. But this news will definitely not be hidden for long. Once the soldiers and horses in the city learned that Liu Wuzhou was defeated at Yanmen Pass and Shuozhou was lost, the morale of the whole army was probably lost, and they would be slaughtered at that time.
"Where can we retreat? Taiyuan is already a Jedi, even if you retreat to Taiyuan, it is not the difference between dying sooner and dying later! Song Jingang yelled at Zhang Tiehu.
He knew that there was not much time left for him to make a decision, either resolutely send troops to intercept the reinforcements of the Tang army, or resolutely retreat, or wait for the Tang army to cooperate in one place. Fighting under siege, they do not have any advantage at all.
They didn't know how many soldiers and horses the Tang Army had to send reinforcements from the west, they didn't know who led the troops, and they didn't know how many troops they needed to send to intercept them to be effective. The number of troops is secondary, and the key is that even if this battle is won, it will not benefit the overall situation.
Strategic passivity, this is the deadliest.
"Go east and take refuge in Dou Jiande!" Zhang Tiehu said: "We still have nearly 20,000 soldiers and horses, even if we get to Dou Jiande's side, Dou Jiande will not treat the king badly!" β
Song Jingang said: "But Song Jia? β
Song Jia is the son of Song Jingang, and he is now less than a year old.
"Jia'er can't be saved anymore!" Zhang Tiehu gritted his teeth and said: "Now that Taiyuan has become a Jedi, even if the king leads his troops to Taiyuan, what can he change?" Why does a husband have no wife? If the wife is gone, remarry, and the son is gone, what are you afraid of! β
Song Jingang's heart was moved, yes, why does a big husband have no wife?
In this era, there are soldiers and generals, and that is the king of grass. However, now that the Tang army is strong, he has no chance to compete for the world, but once he takes refuge in Dou Jiande, it is unknown who will die in Hebei.
Although Song Jingang was so distressed that he was bleeding because he knew that he had lost his wife and children. But as a hero, he still has the courage to break when he is decided.
Song Jingang said: "At midnight today, I retreated from the east gate to the east, Tiehu, you left behind, I will give you 3,000 soldiers and horses, launch a feint night attack to the south of the city, as long as you hold on for half an hour, immediately withdraw to the city, after dawn, wait for the opportunity to retreat." β
However, at this time, there were bursts of cheers in the Tang army outside the city.
"Datang is mighty, Datang Wansheng!"
"Datang is mighty, Datang Wansheng!"
It turned out that Chen Ying broke through the Yanmen Pass and rescued Li Xiuning, the princess of Pingyang, before Yu Chigong broke through the Weize Pass, and this news made Li Jiancheng breathe a sigh of relief.
Li Jiancheng took the good news and informed the three armies. At the same time, he said to Wei Zheng: "Now Huzhou can be slowly mapped!" β
"I'm afraid that Song Jingang won't give us this time to slowly figure it out!" Wei Zheng and Xu Shiji said almost at the same time.
Li Jiancheng was surprised.
Wei Zheng explained: "Liu Wuzhou was defeated, and Song Jingang will definitely not hold on to Huzhou!" β
Xu Shiji nodded and said, "Running away is the only way out for Song Jingang."
