Chapter 358: A narrow road encounter
Vertices are updated the fastest
The sky is dark, the stars are scarce, and the sky seems to be outlined by ink.
In the dark night, in the northeast of Chang'an, an army of nearly 60,000 soldiers, divided into three roads, stepping on the night, like a ghost, silently went south, approaching Chang'an.
This imposing rainbow cavalry corps is the left and right Yulin Guards under the command of King Qin.
On the left wing of the army, the leading general is Nan Daoming, a fierce general under the command of King Qin, and also the general of Zuo Yu Linwei. The right flank is the fierce general Wu Anluo, who is also the right feather Lin Wei general.
The vanguard of the Chinese army, the king of Qin wore a tiger-headed chain armor, a tiger helmet, cold eyes, a tiger-headed broadsword, and galloped on a horse.
The feather forest guards are vigorous, as if sweeping the earth and flooding, galloping and running wildly in the field.
Half a month ago, near Luoyang, the left and right Yulinwei were framed by the Yuwen clan, and the army was killed, losing more than 30,000 elite soldiers.
Tonight, the leading soldiers pointed to Chang'an, and the King of Qin only wanted to kill the rebels under the command of the Yuwen clan, and by the way, he quelled the rebellion of the Yuwen clan.
At the beginning of the day, the army was less than twenty miles away from Chang'an, and through the dark night sky, you could vaguely see the military camp near Chang'an, dotted with fire.
In the gallop of the army, the herald of the left wing of the center forward, rode his horse and turned around, took the order of Nandao Ming, hurriedly rode back from the forward, came to the front of the Chinese army, sat on horseback, and arched his hand to the king of Qin: "Lord Wang, the left wing forward is secretly investigating Chang'an more than ten miles away, there is a 40,000 or 50,000 foot cavalry army, marching rapidly in the night, coming to the northeast, very close to our army, General Nan ordered the whole army to hide and arm, and prepare for battle."
Hearing this, King Qin's cold eyes and cold face couldn't help but become more and more cold, and he muttered secretly, when he sent troops tonight, he and Zhang Shaoming were both cautious and did not leak any information.
At this moment, there is an army in the direction of Chang'an, and it is not a rebel army to march to the northeast, and it was learned in advance that he and Zhang Shaoming led the troops to attack the camp tonight, and specially sent troops to take the initiative to meet the battle.
However, while thinking about it, King Qin couldn't help but shake his head slightly, denying his inner thoughts.
Not to mention, whether the rebels learned that he and Zhang Shaoming wanted to lead the troops to attack the camp, even if the rebels learned that they were leading the army to attack the camp, even if they sent troops to defend, they should use the cover of the dark night and deploy defenses without knowing it, instead of marching in a hurry and coming to the northeast.
When there was silence for a while, King Qin raised his head, stared at the herald and asked, "Do you know who led the troops?"
"Report to the prince, the forward spy, in order to prevent the grass and the snake from startling, he did not dare to approach, because of this, he did not find out who the enemy army was and where the army he led belonged to." The herald answered truthfully.
When the two armies met, they didn't know their generals, King Qin's expression was full of doubts, and he said categorically: "Probe again, no matter how much it costs, be sure to find out the identity of the enemy general."
"Yes!" The herald clasped his fists, finished speaking, and turned his horse away.
Puzzled, the King of Qin raised his hand to signal the guards, reminding the Chinese army to stop moving forward temporarily, so as not to march in a hurry and meet the unknown army in front.
In addition, he sent a herald from the Chinese army to the right flank to remind Wu Anluo to be vigilant and prepare for war.
The mysterious army in front appeared suddenly, and the intention was unknown, and the King of Qin did not dare to be careless.
Six or seven miles away, the left led the army of the guard.
At this time, the army also stopped moving forward, Cao Cen Ping in front, under the tent of the secret agent, in the reconnaissance captured Yu Linwei secret agent, five flowers tied back to the army, now, Yu Lin Wei secret agent, kneeling in front of Cao Cen Ping.
With this, the left led the army of the guard, all the military horses, all vigilant.
Cao Cen Ping looked puzzled, sat on horseback, stared at the Yulinwei spy with his eyes, and asked: "This place is far away from the Yulinwei camp, isn't it the King of Qin who led the troops to attack the rebel camp?"
Nothing to do is not to go to the Three Treasures Palace, the King of Qin garrisons Lantian, the distance between the camp is forty or fifty miles, the night is like ink, and the five fingers are not visible, if it is not for the appearance of the King of Qin's troops, here, there will never be a secret agent of Yulinwei.
Moreover, Cao Cen Ping himself is a general of the Tang Army, and he can also detect some clues from the secret agent's clothing, and he is sure that the person who was arrested is a marching spy.
However, when the secret agent heard this, he did not say a word, and turned a deaf ear to Cao Cenping's questioning.
Cao Cen Ping was not reconciled, and asked two or three questions in a row, but still did not get any useful information from the secret agent.
Annoyed, he can't kill the secret agent of Yulinwei.
He wants to lead his troops to join the King of Qin, if he kills the secret agent of Yulinwei, will he not have a bad relationship with the King of Qin, and will undoubtedly dig his own grave.
When he was in a dilemma, the army general staff division Hongwen rode close and whispered in Cao Cenping's ear.
Hearing the voice, Cao Cen Ping frowned and gradually smiled.
Tonight led the troops to join the King of Qin, no one pulled the strings, if you go to the Yulinwei camp recklessly, you will inevitably be mistaken by Yulinwei for the rebels attacking the camp, and there will be a big battle between the two sides.
At this moment, if the other party sends a message to King Qin and expresses his idea of taking refuge, he may easily resolve the grievances and hatreds between him and King Qin, at least there will be no misunderstanding between Zuo Lianjun Wei and Yu Linwei.
When there was silence for a while, Cao Cenping's gaze shifted to the spy again, and said in a friendly voice: "This general is Cao Cenping, the general of the left leading army, and tonight he led the left leader to lead the Wei brothers, risking his life to go to the Lantian camp of Yulin Wei, not fighting with Yulinwei, all because he wanted to take refuge in the King of Qin.
Tonight, Ben will release you, you return to Yulinwei, bring a message to the King of Qin for Ben General, if the King of Qin leads the troops nearby, send his generals to the left to lead the army to the guard, the two sides will discuss, go!"
Hearing the sound, the secret agent of Yulin Wei raised his head to look at Cao Cen Ping, and the leading guards on the left side of the Quartet, noticed that the other party did not move, got up and hugged his fist to Cao Cen Ping and said: "General Xie is not killed, and the general will definitely bring the general's words to the prince."
Cao Cen Ping bowed his head silently, signaled the left leading army guards to bring the war horse, untie the rope for the spies, and return the saber to the other party.
The spy was released, and without hesitation, he hurried forward to the side of the war horse, stepped on the war horse, and rode the horse to the northeast.
After about half a cup of tea, the spy returned to the left wing army, and reported Cao Cenping's words to Nandao Ming as it was.
Knowing that the secret agent in front of him was captured by the left leading guard and released back, Cao Cen Ping led the troops to appear more than ten miles away, and intended to take refuge in the King of Qin, Nan Daoming knew that the stakes were very high, and he was difficult to decide, so he ordered the deputy general to lead the troops, beware of the attack of the right leading guard, and personally rode his horse to the Chinese army.
When the Nandao Shadow Horse came to the Chinese army, the Chinese army was strong, with a longbow in his hand, a horizontal knife clenched, and a cold expression, and he had all entered a defensive state.
Looking at it, he didn't dare to hesitate and hurriedly went to King Qin's side.
At this moment, King Qin was puzzled, anxiously waiting for the news from the left-wing spies, and suddenly witnessed the appearance of Nan Daoming, and couldn't help but be stunned, worried that a war was coming.
Waiting for Nandao to step forward, King Qin asked impatiently: "General Nan, what happened to the left flank, was it attacked by rebels?"
Hearing this, Nan Daoming did not hesitate, and reported the words of the spy to King Qin word for word, and said loudly: "Lord Wang, what does Cao Cen Ping mean, why did he suddenly lead his troops to join the prince, will there be a conspiracy?"
