Volume 3 Iron and Blood Chapter 126 Tong Guan's evil heart
Updated: 2013-12-13
When Han Shizhong heard this, his face darkened, and he sighed and said, "Today's plan has to be like this." By the way, your third and fourth brothers are not cautious people, and before leaving, you must talk to these two people in detail! ”
Deng Yun smiled faintly and responded with his chin. Han Shizhong came out, and Deng Yun asked Ji and Huo to come over. When the brothers arrived, Deng Yun's face was solemn and he quickly explained the matter carefully. Ji and Huo listened to it and changed color again and again, and they were both happy and surprised. Huo Rui grinned and said stupidly: "I knew that the eldest brother was not that kind of person!" ”
Ji Qing was even more mature, his face was shocked, and he said: "What the eldest brother ordered, we will definitely remember!" ”
Deng Yun nodded his head and said with a smile: "Okay!" You are simple-minded, you don't have to be too pretentious, just as usual, everything the second brother has his own measure! ”
After Ji and Huo responded in unison, Deng Yun explained some details, and said that it was about the second watch before they dispersed.
The next day, Han and Deng finished their army, and in accordance with Tong Guan's order, they led the army to set off while the sky was bright. Before leaving, Liu Yanqing secretly came to find it, and the three of them talked secretly for a while, and Liu Yanqing left.
The rising sun slowly rose, and at this time, the two generals Han and Deng had already led their troops out of the camp. About half an hour later, I saw the smoke rising from the cooking in the camp, Han Shizhong suddenly pulled the horse and looked at it from a high place, his eyes were full of sorrow. Deng Yun rushed over, his eyes were also solemn, and he said in a low voice: "Brother Han doesn't have to worry too much. Liu Dutong is a world-famous general, and our army has strong soldiers and horses, so it should not be difficult to break through this mediocre pass. ”
When Han Shizhong heard this, his heart tightened, he slowly withdrew his eyes, shook his whip on his horse, and flew away. Deng Yun pulled his horse, glanced at it silently, and hurried away.
Let's say that Liu Yanqing had just given the order, prepared more than 30,000 troops in the front, and was preparing to attack Juyong Pass, when suddenly a scout came to report, saying that there was no one in Juyong Pass, and those Liao soldiers were suspected of leaving at night! Liu Yanqing was shocked when he heard the report, and urgently ordered someone to inform Tong Guan, and at the same time, he quickly sent people to investigate around Juyong Pass to see if there was an ambush.
On the other side, Tong Guan was just wearing his armor, and suddenly heard that the Liao soldiers had withdrawn, and he was overjoyed, and hurriedly asked Liu Yanqing to march into the army.
It turned out that when Yelu Dashi heard that Tong Guan led the army had arrived, he knew that Juyong Pass was difficult to guard, and he had already seen that the demon queen borrowed a knife to kill people, and it happened that Emperor Tianzuo sent someone to summon him. Therefore, before Yelu Dashi started his army yesterday, he had already intended to withdraw his troops, and while attacking and attacking, he also taught the troops in the pass to prepare. At the time of the third watch in the evening, the rest and preparation of the armies were completed, and Yelu Dashi issued an order overnight to teach the armies to withdraw while the night was dark, and abandoned Juyong Pass.
Let's say that when Liu Yanqing heard the order, he had doubts in his heart, and he didn't dare to rush in, and deliberately delayed. After about half a pillar of incense, Tong Guan heard that Liu Yanqing had not yet raised troops, and he was furious, so he immediately sent Xu Tianyi and other generals to urge, and even threatened with military orders. Liu Yanqing was helpless and did not dare to disobey the order, so he immediately led the army to rise and enter Juyong Pass. When he was about to arrive at Juyong Pass, he was meeting a return scout, and when he heard that there were no ambushes everywhere, he dared to march in a big way.
Sure enough, there was not a single soldier guarding Juyong Pass, so Liu Yanqing's soldiers broke the pass without blood, and then quickly reported to Tong Guan. Tong Guan was overjoyed, personally led the generals to go, until the pass was under the pass, saw that the pass had been planted with the flag of the army, overjoyed, and rewarded the army. Although Xu Tianyi and other generals did not make an inch, they were all promoted several steps in a row, and even Xu Qing, Ji Qing, Huo Rui and other generals were also promoted.
Moreover, after Tong Guan took Juyong Pass, he discussed with Liu Yanqing and other military generals that day, but he taught Liu Yanqing to guard the pass, and ordered Xu Tianyi and other young soldiers to be the first to lead an army of 20,000 to set off tomorrow and force a forced landing in Yanjing. Xu Tian and other generals were ordered to retreat. Liu Yanqing was in a hurry, and argued with Tong Guan in court, but was finally forced to retreat by Tong Guan due to military regulations. Liu Yanqing thought that if Tong Guan's subordinates took Yanjing first, if he really had the slightest evil intentions, everything would be over, but he didn't know the truth and reality, and he was nervous.
That night, Liu Yanqing was irritable and couldn't sleep, and suddenly saw that three flags were missing in the southeast corner, and his face suddenly changed drastically, and he hurried over to see that the flags had fallen to the ground. Liu Yanqing suddenly trembled when he saw it, and suddenly heard the sound of footsteps, thinking that it was a patrol soldier, and immediately left in a hurry.
It turned out that Deng Yun and Ji Qing and Huo Rui instructed last night that if they found out that Tong Guan had the heart to be the king, and then broke through Juyong Pass, he would find an opportunity to take down three flags in the southeast corner as a warning. And today, when Liu Yanqing came to see him off, Deng Yun seemed to have expected it, so he told him about it. It's just that Deng Yun never expected that the self-army would break through Juyong Pass in one day. Of course, this is all foreign language, and not much to say.
At the same time, in the closed enemy building, Tong Guan seemed to be in a very good mood, and said with a smile: "Tianyi, you can be said to have made a great contribution this time!" The old man heard that the three brothers Xu, Ji, and Huo are all very skilled, but why did they only call Xu Qing alone? ”
When Xu Tian heard this, he bowed his hand and said with a smile: "Don't hide it from Lord Taiwei, Na Ji and Huo are like my second junior brother, they are both people who are not flexible enough and have dead brains. However, Lord Taiwei can rest assured that they have great respect for the surname Xu, and they will come to vote sooner or later. If you really don't know what to do, eradicate it. Now everything is based on the capture of Yanjing, and it is also the time to employ people!! ”
"Well, you've always been thoughtful. The old man was relieved. Well, you're marching tomorrow, don't work too hard, and stand down! Tong Guan seemed to be extremely fond of Xu Tianyi, and he didn't think much about it, so he waved his hand and taught Xu Tianyi to leave. Xu Tianyi bowed and retreated, just went out of the door, walked a few steps, and suddenly someone stopped him, only to see that his face was full of scars, very hideous, and it was dark night, which was even more terrifying.
Xu Tianyi couldn't help frowning, and said coldly: "Little junior brother, what are you doing!?" ”
"Senior brother, have you forgotten my father's blood feud!?" This person is Yuan Jie. I saw that his whole face was distorted, and his eyes were full of resentment.
Xu Tianyi's heart tightened, and he quickly changed his complexion, and said with a smile: "What did the little junior brother say, the master has nurturing grace for me, how dare I forget!?" ”
"If that's the case, why did you introduce that Xu Qing to the old Bodhisattva!? He was one of my father's accomplices!! Yuan Jie gritted his teeth, his eyes red. Xu Tianyi smiled, and his eyes suddenly shot out two rays of light, which was particularly terrifying, and it shocked Yuan Jie, and then he heard a creepy sound.
"Little junior brother, do you remember that the master often teaches that if you want to achieve great things, your relatives can also kill them. In this case, why is it difficult to cooperate with the enemy? The master has very high expectations for you, don't keep dumping this child's temper, otherwise how can you be on your own in the future? What's more, if it weren't for the fact that the old Bodhisattva was employing people at this time, how could I have been humiliated and introduced him!? ”
Yuan Jie's face twitched again and again, and he forcibly held back the fear in his heart, and responded: "What the senior brother said is reasonable. It's just that this Xu Qing and the dragon barbarian are righteous brothers, what if they cheat? ”
"Hmph. As long as Yanjing is captured, the overall situation will be decided! At that time, not to mention this dragon barbarian, even Han Shizhong and Liu Yanqing, anyone who dares to go against the old Bodhisattva will all die! And that Xu Qing, you don't have to be careful, I have my own measure!! ”
Xu Tian's face was gloomy and he said in a low voice. Suddenly, there was a burst of argument and scolding not far away, Xu Tian was shocked, but he laughed, ignored Yuan Jie, and hurried away. As soon as Xu Tian arrived, he was seeing people in the bush, Xu Qingzheng was arguing with Ji Qing and Huo Rui, and most of what Ji and Huo said was accusing Xu Qing of not remembering the old love and being greedy for vanity. As soon as Xu Tian heard it for a while, Ji and Huo noticed him, and both of them snorted coldly, turned their heads angrily and left. The soldiers around also noticed Xu Tianyi, and they were all afraid of being scolded and left one after another. Xu Qing's face was cold, and he gave Xu Tianyi a slight salute.
"What? It seems that your two brothers seem to complain a lot about you. Xu Tianyi grinned and walked over.
"Don't worry about it. Both of them have strong temperaments, but when it comes to the decisive battle, they will fight in spirit to kill the enemy. I hope the general is not strange! But it is said that now the three Xu Qing brothers have been assigned to Xu Tianyi by Tong Guan, but Xu Qing is the deputy general in the army, which shows the importance that Tong Guan and Xu Tianyi attach to him.
Xu Tian smiled and said lightly: "You don't have to be bored. When your brothers achieve fame and wealth, they will be grateful to you, the second brother. ”
When Xu Qing heard this, a slight smile appeared in his cold face, and he said, "General Cheng Jiyan!" ”
Xu Tianyi laughed obediently, patted Xu Qing's shoulder and walked away quickly. Yuan Jie's yin owl eyes also retracted, and he followed quickly. The two left as they drifted apart, and Xu Tianyi smiled and said, "Haha, this Xu Qing is really a handsome man who knows the times!" ”
It turned out that after Xu Tianyi saw Xu Qing quarreling with Ji and Huo, most of his suspicions arising from Yuan Jie's words suddenly disappeared.
The next day, Xu Tianyi led an army of 20,000 to Yanjing according to his order. Tong Guan taught all the armies under his command to prepare, but as soon as Xu Tian came to the news, he immediately waved his army straight to the city of Yanjing.
As for Liu Yanqing, he was impatient, since Tong Guan captured Juyong Pass, there were scouts and sentinels all around, and he had no chance to report Han and Deng who were rushing back to the rear line. And the stakes are very high, and it will implicate the situation in the world, Liu Yanqing has great respect for Han and Deng, and if it is not a last resort, he still hopes to wait for the two to return before doing something.
On the other side, Han and Deng didn't know that Tong Guan had already sent troops to attack Juyong Pass, and the two of them followed the route given by Tong Guan to lead the army all the way forward, hoping to receive the food team as soon as possible and return to the front line as soon as possible.
Unconsciously, the two traveled for two days, and repeatedly sent light cavalry to investigate, but they heard that there was no trace of the army food team within dozens of miles in the distance. Han Shizhong couldn't help but be suspicious, and said to Deng Yun: "Could it be that the old thief deliberately delayed the time, and didn't send a grain team at all!?" ”
"I don't think so. Now there are 200,000 soldiers and horses on the front line, Yanjing is the capital of the Great Liao Emperor, solid as gold, and over the years, the Liao people have repeatedly repaired, and its female wall is solid, as high as dozens of zhang, even if it is a million army, it is difficult to destroy it quickly. As a result, it is not known how much time it will take, and once the food is run out during this period, the army will be in danger. Although the old thief is incompetent, this is the most basic thing, and he should also know how to guard against it. Deng Yun said in a condensed voice, Han Shizhong frowned, suddenly his heart twitched, and he changed color and said urgently: "Could it be that he gave us the wrong route?" When the time comes, it will be said that the two of us have neglected our posts and condemned ourselves under the pretext of being guilty, except for the two of us!? ”
