Chapter 583: Blocked at the mouth of the sea
"Through the long river, straight into the sea!"
Hu Xin and everyone present glanced at each other, they really didn't expect this to be the result, the five surnames and Qiwang had already thought about the way back this time, and they were really prepared.
Hugao Pass is bordered by Songyue in the south, the Yellow River in the north, and the mountains are staggered, claiming to be a natural hazard.
It is precisely for this reason that the Tiger Prison Pass has been difficult to overcome.
But now the Tiger Prison Pass has not only been overcome, but also forced the five surnames and Qiwang to dig a long secret passage under the Tiger Prison Pass, and then made everyone decide to escape to the sea through the Yellow River.
Now, Hu Xin doesn't know what to do.
"Da Da Da!"
At this moment, the sound of a large number of horses marching and horses' hooves falling to the ground suddenly came from outside the mansion.
A scout in the army hurriedly ran over and reported to Hu Xinyu: "General, there is a signal from outside the city that Your Majesty has ordered the army to launch a general attack on the Tiger Prison Pass, and now Your Majesty has led the army into Lishui Town!" ”
"No, let's tell the truth, let Your Majesty have an idea!"
Hearing the scout's words, Hu Xin shook his head, he turned to the people on his side and said, "Go, follow the general to the gate of the mansion to greet Your Majesty!" ”
……
After the time of half a pillar of incense, in front of the Zheng family's mansion, people arrived before the sound came.
"Hahaha, Hu Xin, your kid really lived up to the trust that the general had placed in you, and he captured the Tiger Prison Pass so quickly, very good, very good!"
Niu Jinda's loud voice is like a meteor piercing the sky in the silent night sky, which can be heard anywhere.
"You old boy, if it weren't for Lao Tzu's son and his brothers, Hu Xin would have been able to break into the Tiger Prison so easily?"
Cheng Biting Jin's voice followed, although these two old guys said that they could wear a pair of pants if they had a good relationship, but they had been fighting for a lifetime, and they were still choking each other. Anyway, it's just not to let the other party feel comfortable.
"Alright, you two don't put more gold on your face!" Wei Chi Jingde glared at the two old disrespectful guys angrily, and said:
"Whether it's the flying eagle hook used to climb the wall of the Tiger Prison Pass, or the divine cannon and short crossbow that blast through the gate of this mansion...... Which one is not the credit of the Divine Machine Mansion? Don't you feel panicked when you are stealing credit in front of others now? ”
Originally, Lin Wei and the two brothers of the Shenji Mansion were watching the excitement, but Na Cheng thought that this thing suddenly changed his words, and directly turned the spearhead to his side, and he was really shot while lying down!
Shaking his head with a wry smile, Lin Wei interjected: "General Wei Chi, don't take down the official to make a joke!" These things were all personally set by His Royal Highness King Wu. And then we made it by hand! If it is really said that there is merit, His Royal Highness King Wu should be the greatest meritorious hero! ”
"Hahaha, okay, today you are all meritorious heroes!" Li Shimin was also amused by these guys, "After returning to Chang'an, I will reward you for your meritorious deeds!" ”
Because when he said these two sentences, Li Shimin was already close to the front of the mansion, and after Hu Xin and the others heard Li Shimin's two words, their faces suddenly became extremely depressed.
"The last general has betrayed His Majesty's trust. I have failed the general's entrustment, and I ask Your Majesty to punish the crime! ”
After being silent for a long time, Hu Xin gritted his teeth and knelt down on one knee in front of Li Shimin's horse.
"The end will be guilty. Please also ask Your Majesty to punish the crime! ”
Hu Xin's kneeling didn't matter, it suddenly had a chain reaction, and all the generals in the army who were in the line knelt down on one knee in front of Li Shimin. All of them had a look of guilt on their faces.
"This ......" Li Shimin didn't understand what was going on, looked at the people kneeling on the ground and said, "What kind of crime are you?" ”
"Your Majesty, before we storm this house. The five surnames and seven high-level officials have already escaped through the secret passage! Hu Xin lowered his head and said: "The secret road leads directly to the mouth of the Yellow River three miles away, and they have already prepared boats on the Yellow River, and now they must have ......."
"You must have fled, huh?" Li Shimin couldn't see joy or anger on his face, but listening to the tone of his voice, it didn't look like he was angry.
Hu Xin is a fan of the authorities, but Niu Jinda is not a fool, they have served Li Shimin for so many years, and they still have a clear understanding of Li Shimin's temperament.
"Yes, please ask Your Majesty to condemn the crime!" Hu Xin's head hung even lower.
"Well, I already know about the secret passage!" Li Shimin looked at Hu Xin and them for a long time, and suddenly said a word.
It was this sentence that made Hu Xin and the others all have an incredible look on their faces, and they raised their heads to look at Li Shimin.
Li Shimin grinned and said, "Aren't you surprised?" ”
Hu Xin and the others nodded subconsciously, but immediately remembered something, but they shook their heads immediately.
Li Shimin didn't speak this time, and shook his head very mysteriously: "You don't have to worry about the next thing, now what you need to do is to take over the territory of the Zheng clan in Xingyang and remove all the traces left by the Zheng clan!" ”
"No!"
Including Cheng Yanjin, everyone responded loudly.
……
Within the course of the Yellow River, after more than an hour of extremely fast sailing, the mouth of the sea is not far away.
It's just that what makes them feel very strange is that in this more than an hour, there was not a single pursuer, which was their luck, until now the Tang army has not found that they have escaped; Or is it that the Tang Army deliberately let them go.
A fleet of ships, four ships similar to Shenxing boats, but much smaller than others, sailed alone in the Yellow River, and by the moonlight, the figures in the fleet could be faintly seen.
In a room at the bottom of the ship, people from several families with the surname of Seven Looks gathered together again.
"Third brother, what do you say now? Our last reliance was also ruined by the Tang Army, even if we entered the sea, where could we go? ”
Liu Tongzhan, the patriarch of the Liu clan of the newly promoted Five Surnamed Qiwang Family, is now completely messed up.
"yes!" Fan Ziming, the patriarch of the Fan family, also nodded with a depressed face, and said:
"The elite army of 40,000 families, now there are only 10,000 people left who we are hiding, if it is said that the mountain is the king, it should be enough! But under this whole world, it is not the king's land, and the shore of the land is not the king's minister. Where can we go? Where can you go? ”
"We've been cornered now!"
"Third brother, you must think of a good way!"
……
In the cabin, it suddenly became a clutter, and almost everyone turned into bees, buzzing and noisy.
"Alright, let's rest!" Zheng Changsheng had a gloomy face, yelled at everyone in the cabin, and said, "Since I dare to take this step, I have already thought of the backhand!" I had already secretly traveled to Baekje to discuss with the warrior king of Baekje, Buyeo Zhang, to relocate all of our five surnames and seven wangs to Baekje! ”
"What? Moving our family to Baekje? Doesn't that mean that it will be difficult for us to return to Datang in this life? ”
Everyone screamed.
"What are you going to do when you go back to Datang?" Zheng Changsheng sneered and said, "Don't you think you died fast enough?" Believe it or not, after escaping from Datang this time, if you dare to step into the territory of Datang again, the Datang soldiers will be the first to take your life! ”
Although Zheng Changsheng's words were not polite, they were also true.
Reversed the Tang Dynasty, and dare to come back? It's dead!
"Then what conditions does Fuyu Zhang have, he can't accept us for no reason, right? You know, this offends Datang! With Baekje as a small country, dare to provoke the Tang Dynasty? ”
No wonder even though the Taiyuan Wang family is now the smallest of the five surnames and seven wangs, the wealth is still top-notch.
It's because Wang Hao's brain is so easy to use, he is weighing the pros and cons all the time, and he is making transactions.
"It's easy to say!" Zheng Changsheng bowed slightly to Wang Hao and said, "As long as each of our families pays thirty percent of the wealth, we can set up camp in the capital city of Baekje!" ”
"Thirty percent? Fuyu Zhang is really a lion's mouth! Liu Tongzhan stood up with some anger and said.
"Compared with life, a mere thirty percent of the wealth is a fart!" Zheng Changsheng said disdainfully: "Life is gone, what can you do with more money?" ”
“……”
Now everyone is no longer talking, and they need to think about it.
……
Just when the fleet of five surnamed Qiwang was moving forward in the Yellow River, far away at the mouth of the Yellow River and the sea, a sailboat was quietly moored there.
"Lord Wang, is your news reliable?" Su Dingfang leaned on the railing, and the monocular in his hand didn't see anything.
"Of course it's reliable!" Li Su spit out the watermelon seeds in his mouth and said, "That's the news from my father, how could it be wrong?" ”
"Dingfang, just put your heart in your stomach!" Li Yuanba ate orchid beans and said, "Since the imperial brother said that there will be a situation today, then it can't be wrong!" By the way, it's been a few days since I came back from Baekje, how are the brothers in Weizhong resting? ”
Su Dingfang nodded and said, "Lord Xie cares, the brothers don't have anything to do, it's just that they are a little tired by boat back and forth!" ”
"That's good!" Li Yuan said domineeringly: "I'm afraid there is a battle to be fought today, you go and order, let the brothers recuperate, and when the enemy appears, no one will drop the chain for this king!" ”
"Lord Wang, just take a look!"
Su Dingfang was very confident, after all, after such a long war, there was really nothing that could make them lose confidence.
"Report, Lord Wang, there are suspicious boats at the Yellow River crossing ahead, will they be intercepted?"
At this moment, a soldier of the Shenwu Guard ran over and saluted Li Yuanba.
"It's coming!" Li Yuanba suddenly came to his senses and said, "Let's lean the boat over first and ask who they are?" As for us, let's go back to the cabin and watch a good show! (To be continued......)
