Chapter Fifty-Eight: The Death of Yue Tuo
Yue Tuo only heard a few sneers, and the unfamiliarity of the voice made him feel a chill in his heart.
"Who's coming?"
With the cacophony of panic, Yue Tuo realized that the situation had deteriorated uncontrollably, and he had a judgment in his heart, but instead of being as shocked as when he just woke up, he slowly sat back on the couch, straightened his body, and stared blankly ahead with a pair of empty and godless eyes.
"Gaoyang Li Xin!"
Yue Tuo let out a long sigh and finally met the general of the remnants of the Ming Dynasty, but he couldn't have imagined that it was in such a situation.
"It's a pity that Yue Tuo is blind and can't remember your face, and he will turn into a ghost in the future, and then ...... ......"
The voice became smaller and smaller, and there was no movement when his head was tilted.
Wang Pu followed behind Li Xin and saw a scene that he would never forget, for many years, the Qing army has become a nightmare to the Ming army, and it has almost reached the point of talking about the change of color, not to mention a pseudo-king, even ordinary leaders can also catch their farts and urine.
He pinched himself hard, making sure that it was not a dream, and now that he had captured a prince alive, what a great merit it must have been. But seeing that Yue Tuo didn't move, he suddenly felt that something was wrong, so he stepped forward a few steps and pulled it, and his whole body suddenly leaned back and lay on the couch. The mink fur covering his body spread out, and he saw that Yue Tuo was sticking a dagger in his front heart, Yin Hong's blood stained his white middle clothes, and his only eyes were still staring at the roof blankly.
"What, how did you die?"
Wang Pu felt pity and regretted that he hadn't noticed Yue Tuo's strange appearance when he first entered the house.
This Yue Tuo finally couldn't stand the shame of being captured and committed suicide, and he can be regarded as a generation of heroes, Li Xin stretched out his right hand and brushed Yue Tuo's face, he wanted to close his eyes, but who knew that he couldn't.
Lu Jiu led people to search the hall, only to hear a soldier scream.
"Here!"
Everyone came around to see that it was the heads of Ao Bai and Mazik who had been sent before. It was still in a wooden box, and it was served on top of several cases.
A strange smell came to the nose, and the two heads had obviously been embalmed, and their faces looked strange and terrifying.
Li Shinhuo's turn.
"Lu Jiu, cut off Yue Tuo's head and go north out of the city."
Hejian is by no means a place to stay for a long time, Li Xin first kills Ao Bai and then kills Yue Tuo, and when the Tartars react, they will inevitably retaliate frantically, these thousand people are really not enough. Therefore, he wants to go north, and the Tartars must not give up the southern invasion in order to pursue and kill, and pursue their remnants of the army north.
According to Wang Pu's meaning, the city of Hejian Mansion was burned and nothing was left for the Tartars. But Li Xin did not agree, sooner or later the Tartars will withdraw from the Guanwai, and Hejian will eventually return to the hands of the Ming Dynasty, which is the wealth accumulated by the people for a hundred years, and it must not be burned like this.
……
Suning, the Ming army did not come again this night, and the Tartars did not sleep well, who knows if the Ming army intended to relax it, and then suddenly appeared to speed up the pace of attacking the city! Akzia stayed on the city almost all night without taking off his armor for fear that the Ming army would suddenly attack the city.
Until the dawn of the day, the Ming army has not appeared, everyone secretly breathed a sigh of relief, this night finally passed, and the Ming army has made a lot of movements in the past few days, and even the leader Akzia has been made a little nervous, and he does not dare to go out of the city to fight.
But Akzia was not relieved by this, but was even more uneasy, what kind of medicine was sold in the Ming army's gourd?
Soon, the answer was revealed.
"Report, the general's reinforcements have arrived outside the city."
Then, the horses that were scattered were also returned.
"Report, the Ming army heading east has encountered reinforcements from the general in Xian County, and they have been scattered."
Scattered? How is this possible? This group of Ming troops showed off their might under Suning City for a few nights, forcing themselves in the city and not daring to move. His heart moved, and he asked, "How much reinforcements did the general send?" ”
"There are always six thousand."
Akzia suddenly changed color, "It's not good, the river is in danger!" He hurried down the city, commanding without healing.
"Leave a thousand armor soldiers to defend the city, and the rest of the men will follow me back to the river, now, prepare immediately, and set off in half an hour."
Immediately, he said to the soldiers around him: "Lead the way and go to the reinforcement station outside the city." ”
He knew everything about the soldiers and horses in Hejian City, and sent 6,000 to Suning and another 3,000 to Xianxian, and the city of Hejian Mansion was basically empty. It is extremely unusual for the Ming army in Xian County to scatter birds and beasts, and the details cannot be known for a while, but I vaguely feel that this may not be a plan to attack the west.
At this time, the reinforcements outside the city did not encounter the Ming army, but chose to stay on the spot and wait for further action.
Akzia hurried to the front, galloping with his own soldiers, ignoring the obstruction of the garrison soldiers, and shouted: "I am Akzia, there is an urgent military situation, take me to your main general!" ”
Akzia's popularity in the Qing army was not low, the Tartars had seen or heard of this person to some extent, and seeing him roaring with a fiery eyebrow, they did not dare to delay and immediately led him to meet the leading lieutenant. After meeting the lieutenant general, Akzia told all kinds of speculations and judgments in his heart.
The general looks old and serious. After muttering for a long time, the general had an order, and asked me to wait for the attack on the Ming army, so that I should have a full and complete calculation. Why don't you send a scout horse first and go back to the river to find out?
After all, Akzia is still a noble son's temperament, and he lost his face when he didn't say a word, "Pedantic, wait for the spies to come back and forth, in case there is a change in the river, it will be too late for anything!" ”
Originally, the deputy general had only patiently received this noble son out of respect for his brother Bai Yintu, but now when he saw his disrespectful words, he immediately turned cold.
"Without the general's order, forgive me! This general is busy with affairs, the general please take care of himself! ”
Then he took the people and walked away, ignoring Akzia no more.
Akzia was furious, but there was nothing he could do.
Finally, he was ruthless and decided to return to the river with 2,000 people.
galloping all the way, when I could finally faintly see the head of the city between the rivers, but when I saw that it was peaceful and there was no sign of a big war, my heart was settled, could it be that I was wrong in my guess?
But after running to the city, his heart that had fallen to the ground was tightly pinched again, but when he saw that the city gate was wide open, all kinds of people and others either roared and fled outward, or took the opportunity to get into the city, and his heart gradually sank to the bottom.
It's too late.
……
Twenty miles north of Hejian Province, an unnamed town, hundreds of refugees gathered, many of whom were ordinary people who fled from Hejian City with Li Xin's Gaoyang army. The whole town was in a commotion, and Li Xin's men and horses kept a certain distance from the refugees and rested on the spot.
Lu Jiu looked at the gloomy sky, his face full of worry.
"It's going to snow again, Brother Thirteen, we have to find a place to stay, it's not a long-term solution to wander around like this."
Li Xin did not answer Lu Jiu's question, but looked at the northern horizon, his eyes flickered brightly and darkly, and he raised his hand and pointed ahead.
"In front of us is the Renqiu Boundary, let's leave after dark."
As far as Lu Jiu knows, Renqiu has no city walls, and the Tartars may not send troops to stay behind, this place is really a good place to rest, but where to go next?
Li Xin seemed to see through Lu Jiu's thoughts, and said with a smile: "Recuperate, raise your spirit, fight hard, and the evil battle is still to come." ”
Hearing Li Xin say this, Lu Jiu's eyes lit up, "Brother Thirteen has a goal?" ”
I saw Li Xin say word by word: "Baoding Mansion City!" ”
The two of them slowly approached the edge of the place where the people gathered, and the refugees in this town seemed to be different from other places.
It's a different story, with idlers gathering together and shouting and shouting, and even people setting up small stalls to sell what they bring with them, which is really strange.
"This brother, the poor monk sees that your bones are strange, and you are not an ordinary person, and you will achieve great things in the future!"
The two turned their heads in amazement, and it turned out to be a big monk covered in dirt, and the top of his head had grown inches of long hair because he hadn't shaved for a long time, but the incense scar was still faintly visible.
Lu Jiu asked, "Who is the Great Monk talking to?" ”
"Naturally, it's to talk to the general!"
"The great monk wants to turn into a fate?"
Lu Jiu is a mortal after all, although he is not afraid of heaven and earth, he still fears ghosts and gods, although he thinks that this great monk is very strange, and it is not good to give color to him.
Who knew that the great monk clasped his palms together and chanted in his mouth.
"Donor, you and I are also destined to meet again!"
After saying that, he raised his head, but his eyes were staring at Li Xin, with a greasy smile on his face, and then he repeated.
"General, the poor monk sees that your bones are strange and you are not an extraordinary person, and you will achieve great things in the future!"
Li Xin almost blurted out to him, is there any cheats to sell, but here is the Ming Dynasty, even such an unscientific thing as crossing has happened, maybe there are really some cheats such as star-absorbing **, Dugu Nine Swords.
But the great monk's answer obviously disappointed his small expectations.
"The little monk in the mountains and fields rested, a few months ago in Zhongnan Mountain, but saw a sudden change in the sky, the purple is not visible, the horns, the room, the tail, and the stars are all dark, only the northern stars are flickering and dark, such as today's troubled times, there will be heroes who are not born in the world, and reorganize the mountains and rivers. Jiexiu came down the mountain to find this person. ”
Lu Jiu's heart jumped suddenly, and the ancients re-proverbial, believing in celestial phenomena. This Lu Jiu is naturally no exception, he listened to what the great monk said so strangely, his eyes frequently stared at Li Xin, could it be that the hero who said in his mouth was the thirteenth brother?
"Great monk, you make it clear, don't talk all day long, you say, is this unborn hero my thirteenth brother?"
The sloppy monk who claimed to be Jiexiu clasped his hands together, chanted a Dharma name, and said with a smile: "The secret of heaven must not be revealed!" ”
Li Xin watched coldly, I don't know what this great monk is calculating, he was a staunch atheist in his previous life, even if such an unscientific thing as crossing has happened, he still firmly believes that there is no god in the world. This Jiexiu must have his ulterior motives in doing this!
