Chapter 863: Crossing the River

When he came to Chang'an, Zhu Qishan was afraid that his subordinates would cause trouble, and he had heard how many years Yuge had dealt with the secret hall of the Qin Wangfu, and he knew too much about the strength of the intelligence department and the secret hall, as long as he showed his tail a little, the secret hall and the intelligence department would pounce on him like livestock. Out of prudence, let the people under his command nest in the house, and all the daily needs were handed over to the two maids in the house to buy. It should have been the safest way, but there was such a big flaw, in the face of Cui Niannu's ridicule, Zhu Qishan didn't want to quibble more, and he didn't admit it at this time, and the only end was to be dragged back and tortured for a while.

"It's really a hundred secrets, the old man thinks he is careful enough, but he didn't expect that something went wrong, but Concubine Cui, do you think there is any point in doing this now? The Empress Dowager's soldier Kou Fenglingdu has already squeezed the battle line to the north, and she will be able to hit Chang'an City in a few days, and Concubine Cui is also a smart person, why not think about it? After listening to Zhu Qishan, Cui Niannu watched with great interest, and for a moment, she felt that this old man was quite interesting, and he actually became a messenger to persuade him to surrender, as if the tens of thousands of troops in Fenglingdu couldn't resist the Chai clan at all. There is one thing Zhu Qishan thinks right, she Cui Niannu is very greedy and eager to have status, but all this can only be done with Zhao Yougong. For a long time, Cui Niannu has never forgotten her identity, a woman in a green building, following others, who will really care?

"Very well, you old man is very eloquent, but don't you think it's ridiculous? The Queen Mother, even Chai Keyan dares to call herself the Queen Mother, you still have to think more about how to die happily" With a look, the soldiers behind Xiao Feng were about to lock Zhu Qishan firmly, and at this moment, many strong men with knives emerged from the roof of the front yard, and they roared and jumped off the roof, fighting with the soldiers of Shuntianfu who were guarding the surroundings. Fortunately, the soldiers had been guarding against these for a long time, and although they panicked, they were very short-lived, and the situation was quickly controlled. One by one, the outlaws were hacked to death with knives, and in the end, only one Zhu Qishan was left alive. Cui Niannu obviously didn't want Zhu Qishan to die so quickly, she still needed to know more from this old man's mouth.

In the gloomy torture room, there are all kinds of torture instruments, over the years, the torture of Lai Junchen has long been learned by Cui Niannu, Zhu Qishan is firmly locked on an iron pillar, but Cui Niannu is not in a hurry, let Zhu Qishan stay in the empty cell. Sometimes interrogation requires skill, and people like Zhu Qishan are not afraid of torture, but are full of fear of unknown things. Cui Niannu needs to determine one thing on Zhu Qishan, what the thieves are attacking the Nancheng car dealership for. Seeing that evening was approaching, and feeling that the time was almost up, Cui Niannu led people into the torture room unhurriedly, looking at Zhu Qishan with a haggard face, she reached out and grabbed Zhu Qishan's gray hair, and asked in a low voice, "Old thing, I'm curious, Nancheng car dealership is so hidden, you actually found it, tell me, how did you find out that there was a problem with the car dealership?" ”

A hint of self-satisfaction appeared on Zhu Qishan's face, and he opened his mouth almost instinctively and said, "Do you think it's very clever?" What kind of identity is Zhu Erniang, but she went to a broken car shop with you, and she stayed for so long... You..."Suddenly, Zhu Qishan's voice stopped abruptly, his eyes gradually widened, and his back felt a little hairstand. Because he saw that Cui Niannu, who was close at hand, was not angry, but exuded a knowing smile, she smiled very sincerely, and she couldn't see the slightest falsehood. At this moment, although Zhu Qishan didn't know what was wrong, he knew that he must have been fooled.

Sure enough, Cui Niannu stood up straight and stretched out easily, "Old thing, thank you for your answer, you really cooperated, and solved the concubine's doubts so quickly." Come on, quickly go and inform Princess Tuoba that the plan will go on as usual, and Huayin should not have any worries, this old thing is purely crooked." Cui Niannu's words told Zhu Qishan very bluntly that there was a bigger secret hidden in the Nancheng car dealership, but unfortunately, how could Zhu Qishan pass on the news at this time? I was smiling smugly before, but in a blink of an eye, a chill rose in my heart, this woman was so scheming, and she had unconsciously taken away the answer she wanted. Thinking that he wished Qishan to live a long time, he was actually played by a little woman, and his face suddenly became very hot, "Stinky woman, the old man killed you!" ”

"Want to die? I will fulfill you, you guys will serve this old thing well, there are no three hours, don't let him die" After explaining, Cui Niannu walked out of the torture room, and didn't look at Zhu Qishan again. The answer you want has been obtained, and as for the news of other spies coming out of Zhu Qishan's mouth, the possibility is almost zero.

The incident of the Nancheng car dealer also reminded the women of the Qin Palace that Chang'an is not safe, and they are surrounded by enemy eyeliners, so they must be cautious at all times. Similarly, Zhu Lian also felt very lucky, Zhu Qishan's people were too anxious, if he could wait until Er Niangzi and Nian Nu'er went to the big car shop again to launch a raid, with these two people as a weight, the situation would be very different. Fortunately, there was a false alarm in the big car dealership, and although the losses were heavy, it did not affect the crucial retreat plan at the moment. In the next two days, Tuoba Qingyun and Yang Wanran devoted themselves to the pontoon bridge, in order to hide people's eyes and ears and not be discovered, Tuoba Qingyun and Yang Wuran did not show up in person, but asked the lower-level officials of Fengxiang Mansion to recruit people locally. Due to the opening of the Guanzhong Grand Canal, the flooding of the Yellow River has been greatly reduced, especially in the upper reaches of Fengxiang Mansion, almost every time the water is turbulent, the people along the coast will suffer, but since there is the Guanzhong Grand Canal, the people along the coast no longer have to worry about this. The opening of the Grand Canal allowed the Qinwang Mansion to win the hearts of the local people, and when they heard that they needed manpower, many people voluntarily signed up to join in. The people were invited to weave bamboo rafts, but they didn't know what they were used for. The retreat plan was carried out quietly, and in Fenglingdu, the mobilization of soldiers and horses was unusually high-profile, and the ships along the coast frequently attacked, constantly disturbing the area defended by the Chai clan's soldiers and horses.

At noon, Lin Chong led 5,000 soldiers and horses to the downstream of Fenglingdu by boat, and this transfer immediately aroused the vigilance of the Chai family. Chai Keyan wondered very much, what was the use of Lin Chong doing this, did he want to land on the east side of Zhongtiao Mountain and attack Hangu Pass on a long detour? Zhao Yougong and Dongfang Jin are both old foxes who have led the troops for many years, they shouldn't make this kind of mistake, they landed on the east side of Zhongtiao Mountain, and the resistance is very small, but with Lin Chong's soldiers and horses, it's not a meat bun to beat the dog. Chai's horse probe kept an eye on Ding****'s every move, especially to Lin Chong's department, but to Chai Keyan's surprise, Lin Chong really landed in Fenghuang Town, more than fifty miles east of Zhongtiao Mountain, and the first thing Lin Chong did after leading the army ashore was to gather soldiers and horses to attack the rebel defense area on the east side of Zhongtiao Mountain. The Chai clan concentrated most of the soldiers and horses along the Fenglingdu coast, and there were not many soldiers and horses guarding Zhongtiao Mountain, and there were even fewer people left in the east.

Lin Chong's movements were fast and ferocious, and he was directly stationed on the top of the mountain on the east side of Zhongtiao Mountain, looking at Luojiapan from afar, and he had the posture of taking down the entire Zhongtiao Mountain. Chai's cloth controlled Fenglingdu, everything was perfect, but it was made up by Lin Chong's actions, and they all knew that it was difficult to make any waves with Lin Chong's people alone, but everyone was worried. Who is Lin Chong, that is the Tiger in Guanzhong, Chai Keyan would rather believe that every step of Lin Chong's actions was planned in advance, and he was by no means forced to be in a hurry. The generals of the Chai clan gathered in the tent of the commander of the East Battalion, and everyone discussed it with each other, and at this time the front-line spies also returned, "Report, Queen Mother, Lin Chong's department has taken Xia Town, and now the whole army has occupied the high ground around Xia Town, but there is no sign of continuing to attack to the west." ”

Chai Keyan was scolding his mother in his heart, what the hell is that guy Zhao Ling doing, is he really forced by the situation in front of him, and plans to jump over the wall to gamble? No, this possibility is very small, that man is scheming, and if he is not careful, he may let him be evil, "Tell me to go down, all the troops will not move, and the area of Zhongtiao Mountain will guard Luojiapan and Snow Girl Peak." ”

In the evening of this day, there was a big move on the north bank of Fenglingdu, and 20,000 troops were set up, and groups of boats carrying soldiers and horses approached the riverbank near the east camp. Lin Chong dared to toss so much, just to storm Zhongtiao Mountain and attract more soldiers and horses to the vicinity of Zhongtiao Mountain, but he had to order the troops not to move, if he mobilized troops and horses to encircle and suppress Lin Chong, I am afraid that there will be loopholes along the Fenglingdu. This Zhao Yougong, at this time, can still play tricks, fortunately, he understands this man enough, and if he is replaced by someone else, he will probably be yin. Chai Keyan felt that he had seen through Zhao Yougong, because the Chai family was well prepared, the strong attack plan of the **** was also hit hard, and after an hour of onslaught, he still failed to make a breakthrough, and the soldiers and horses that were separated could only retreat in disgrace.

The Chai clan in the east camp was full of confidence, and the west camp was also swept away from the haze, after a series of troop and horse transfers, the attention of the Chai clan had been rigidly attracted to the coast of Fenglingdu. Fengxiang Mansion is also fully prepared, and whether it can safely withdraw to the north shore next depends on Xidaying's own. Pang He convened several generals to discuss that night, and finally decided that Yang Zhi and Guan Sheng would lead the 5,000-strong army to cooperate with the army on the north bank to attack the eastern camp and buy time for the large army to retreat westward. Once the plan is drawn up, the next step is to put it into action. The next day, as soon as the sky was bright, the Chai soldiers and horses stationed in the East Camp were attacked by a fierce attack, due to the sudden attack of the Ding****, the Chai Clan was caught off guard, and the riverbank defense area between the East Camp and the West Camp was also broken open a gap. At the same time, after receiving the signal, the soldiers on the north bank also began to launch ships and launched an attack on the defense area on the south bank.

The tacit understanding between the armies of the north and south sides of the country was as agreed, and the Chai family was beaten for a while, and there were urgent military reports everywhere. At the same time, in order to cooperate with the soldiers and horses of Fenglingdu, Lin Chong also launched a fierce attack on the direction of Luojiapan from the east side of Zhongtiao Mountain, Chai Keyan almost concluded that the **** wanted to withdraw the army on the south bank today, so she strictly ordered Chai Yonghao and others, "Pull all the soldiers and horses in the eastern defense area to the banks of the Yellow River, and the coastal defense area must be sealed, and the soldiers and horses of the western battalion must not be withdrawn, Chai Jin, you personally go to keep an eye on the coastal defense, if you let a ship land, then you will ask." ”

"Yes, the last general will go" Chai Jin broke out in cold sweat on his forehead, and the **** attack was so crazy, the pressure on his shoulders was not small.

The battle on the surface of the Fengling River was very tragic, and the pressure on the Chai army stationed in the area of Zhongtiao Mountain was even greater, but Chai Keyan did not send one more soldier to Zhongtiao Mountain. Chai Keyan was so calm, but it gave Lin Chong a headache, but he knew very well in his heart that even if the Chai clan did not have reinforcements, it would be very difficult to recapture Luojiapan with the troops in his hands.

The Chai clan focused all their attention on Fenglingdu, but they didn't know that the western camp had become very empty at this time, and the real main army had quietly gone west in the middle of the night. Pang He was afraid of being discovered, so he had many dummies in the camp in advance, and the retreating soldiers and horses also retreated in batches. That night, if a thousand soldiers and horses went west, there would be two or three hundred people going east, and this false appearance of changing guards directly deceived Chai's ears and eyes. At least so far, the Chai people thought that the main force of the Western Battalion was still accumulating strength to launch a desperate attack on the coastal defense area in the north. The battle started before the hour, but it didn't stop until almost noon, at this time Chai Keyan also sensed that something was wrong, after so much time, Pang He and Xiao Yue were able to endure it no matter how much they could bear it, and it was time to make a move, why did only Yang Zhi and Guan Sheng launch the attack now?

"How's the western coastal defense zone?" Chai Keyan frowned tightly, and the scribe on the side hurriedly replied, "At present, it is quite stable, although the bandit army on the north bank has launched several fierce attacks, but they have all returned in vain. As for the people in the West Battalion, it seems that they haven't done it yet. ”

"How so?" Chai Keyan let out a long breath, the feeling of uneasiness became heavier and heavier, and at the same time, an idea kept popping up, the people of the West Camp would not run away, right? Thinking of this, Chai Keyan was also a little panicked, no matter what, she had to make some changes, "Order Chai Yonghao's department, mobilize troops and horses to the south, outflank Guan Sheng and Yang Zhi's rear road, and see how the thief army reacts." ”

Whether this transfer can completely annihilate Guan Sheng and Yang Zhi, Chai Keyan doesn't know, but she thinks she must be able to see that the West Daying is virtual and real. If the Xida Battalion accumulates strength and tries to fight back, then Guan Sheng and Yang Zhi will definitely not withdraw, on the contrary, if they withdraw, it will be a bit bad. When Chai Yonghao led the army to the established position, Guan Sheng and the others, who were still brave and fearless before, turned around and ran, without any nostalgia at all. Guan Sheng's retreat was so decisive, which also confirmed Chai Keyan's guess that the main army of Pang He and Xiao Yue ran away, and it was definitely not in the West Battalion. (To be continued.) )
