Chapter 15: Being a thief is weak-hearted

(2nd Update)

Liu Yefei was originally a thief, and when he heard that the front rider rushed to the gate of the swordfish wall, Hu Yu'er had not opened the south gate to greet him, and he suddenly panicked in his heart.

Although the enemy is at present, the city must be guarded tightly, and it is impossible to be sloppy when someone enters and leaves the city at night, but there is no reason for him to come in person to return the reason for refusing to leave the city gate-

"I'm afraid that Hu Yu'er accompanied the envoy to get drunk," Liu Zhiyong comforted, "Without Hu Yu'er's nod, how dare Xiao Xiao open the city gate casually at night?" When the uncle arrived at the city, the guards would naturally open the city gate to greet him. ”

"In case ......," Liu Yefei said worriedly, "Since Hu Yu'er doesn't welcome us, let's go back to Dengzhou City." ”

"There's no what, uncle don't scare himself," Liu Zhiyong said categorically, "Uncle knows about the affairs of Dengzhou Prefecture and the governor of Dengzhou Town, how can there be a reason for his subordinates to block him from the city?" It is impossible for Hu Yu'er to know any news, and if her uncle turns back for no reason, it will arouse Hu Yu'er's suspicions. ”

The knife fish village is built according to the north foot of Danya Mountain, Liu Ye Fei they block the Danya Mountain, they stand on this side, they can see the situation of the south city tower of the knife fish village, but they can not see the situation on the sea in the east.

Liu Yefei thought about it, he contacted Chen Zhihu, and his nephew came forward in person, and there was no possibility of leaking the news, and besides, it was already like this, even the duck had to catch up with the shelves - Liu Yefei called his son Liu Fang and instructed him: "You clean up the team, it's a mess like it's difficult to jump, what does it look like?" So he and Liu Zhiyong led dozens of soldiers first, and asked Liu Fang to follow from behind with a large army.

Liu Yefei and Liu Zhiyong rushed to the bottom of the swordfish walled city, and Hu Yuer and Chen Enze rushed to the South Gate Tower.

Liu Yefei, who was wearing the official uniform of the imperial purple coat, rushed to the city first surrounded by dozens of soldiers, and his body was fat, and he was the most recognizable - seeing that the soldiers brought by Liu Yefei were all dragging behind, and they were still separated by a distance, Hu Yu'er hesitated a little, thinking: With Liu Yefei's temperament, he really lowered Yanhu, and if he wanted to earn the knife fish village, how could he dare to run to the front in person?

Chen Enze is not afraid of misunderstanding Liu Yefei, even if he misunderstands him, can he still eat Huaidong?

Hu Yu'er was hesitating, Liu Zhiyong drove his horse to the downstairs of the city gate, raised his head and scolded: "Hu Yu'er, you have eaten leopard gall, the prefect is under the city, how dare you be so lazy, deceive the prefect and will not clean up the thorns of you sailors?" ”

Hu Yu'er decided to follow what Chen Enze taught him, and said loudly: "Young Master Liu, Hu Yu'er ate the leopard's gall, and he didn't dare to snub Lord Fuzun - it was a coincidence that Huaidong reinforcements came over tonight, and Hu Yu'er didn't inform Fuzun, so he let the Huaidong army enter Daoyu Village first. Hu Yu'er was at the water gate in the north just now, and she was delayed for some time. Didn't he just know that the prefect was coming overnight, so he immediately came to the south gate to greet Fuzun and Liu Gongzi? Young Master Liu, please wait a while, and I will order the suspension bridge to be lowered......"

Hu Yu'er also has a loud voice, and in the dead of night, his voice can be heard dozens of feet away.

Before Hu Yu'er's words fell, she saw Liu Yefei, who was a hundred and ten paces away from the city gate, walking back with a horse......

Liu Zhiyong saw that his uncle was so useless, and he also rushed to chase after him, and shouted in a panic: "Uncle, you can't be in a hurry!" It's a mess! It's the Huaidong reinforcements, it's the Huaidong reinforcements......"

Hu Yu'er saw that Liu Yefei didn't question the matter of letting Huaidong reinforcements enter the Daoyu Village without authorization, and he turned around and fled like a mouse seeing a cat, what else did he not understand?

The people around Hu Yu'er also understood, but this news was somewhat difficult for them to digest, and they didn't prepare for a while, stupidly watching Liu Yefei's uncle and nephew flee with dozens of people, and they didn't have the heart to send troops out of the city to chase ......

Gao Zongting advanced to the swordfish village, led by others, walked to the south gate tower, and saw Liu Yefei leading more than 1,000 foot soldiers to flee south in panic.

"Mr. Gao......" Hu Yu'er didn't know what to say for a while, and he was also a little confused at this time - Liu Yefei was the chief official of Dengzhou, and the chief officer secretly defected to the enemy and colluded with Yan Hu, he was only a member of Dengzhou Town's subordinates and led the general, and it was said that he would resolutely draw a line with Liu Yefei, but he didn't know what to do next.

Chen Enze quickly explained what happened in the city to Gao Zongting, and in front of Hu Yu'er, he didn't say anything - there was a chance to capture Liu Yefei alive, but in this case, Hu Yu'er couldn't be blamed for not being decisive and missing the opportunity to capture Liu Yefei alive.

Hu Yu'er stubbornly said: "Liu Yefei defected to Hu Lu, please ask Mr. Gao to allow me to lead my troops to chase him out and capture him alive......"

"There are other soldiers and horses in Huaidong who have landed near Dengzhou City, waiting for them to escape," Gao Zongting said, "General Hu quickly sent post horses to report to the counties of Pingdu, Laiyang, Laizhou, and Haiyang, and informed Liu Yefei of the rebellion against the enemy and the arrival of the captives; The counties should strictly guard the city, and don't give Liu Yefei the opportunity to earn the city...... You should also be careful not to collide with the cavalry sent by Chen Zhihu to attack Dengzhou. ”

Hu Yu'er had the intention to redeem the merits, and was busy instructing the left and right to act according to what Gao Zongting said, but he didn't know what the effect was?

They saw with their own eyes that Liu Yefei fled when he heard that the Huaidong reinforcements had entered Daoyu Village, so they were sure that Liu Yefei had surrendered to the enemy, but Laiyang, Haiyang, Laizhou and other cities might not believe their words, and it was more likely that they would fly over and open the city to welcome Liu Yefei into the city. At this time, it was even more expected that Liu Yefei would flee to Dengzhou City and ambush the Huaidong reinforcements who landed near Dengzhou City.

After a while, Ge Changgen led more than 200 soldiers to disembark and land, and Gao Zongting found Hu Yu'er and asked, "Is there a guide who is familiar with the Buling Mountain Road in Daoyu Village......?"

"There are people, and many of the generals of the sailors are the children of farmers in the Buling area, and they are very familiar with the mountain roads......

"That's good," Gao Zongting said, "I ask General Hu to send some men to assist Captain Ge to lead his troops to cross the Buling overnight, preferably before dawn, to the Qijia ...... at the southern foot of the Buling Mountains."

"Ahh Hu Yu'er was taken aback, looked at the Huaidong generals who came ashore with Ge Changgen, and said, "If you want to ambush the partial division sent by Chen Zhihu in Qijia, is there less manpower for Captain Ge?" ”

Qijia is a town market in the east of Dengzhou, and it is the only way to enter Dengzhou from the southern foot of the Buling Mountains.

The Huaidong Army has always dared to fight, and its combat power is also strong, of course Hu Yu'er knows, but the one sent by Chen Zhihu to attack Dengzhou is not a weak brigade.

Most importantly, the difference in strength between the two sides is too great.

The Huaidong Army used to ambush and now has 200 soldiers, all of whom are foot soldiers; I have to climb over Buling Mountain overnight, and I am afraid that I will have to take off all my armor. And the partial division sent by Chen Zhihu to attack Dengzhou has 2,000 cavalry.

Calculating the time, Chen Zhihu's partial division should pass through Qijia before tomorrow afternoon - ambush the strong enemy with very few troops, and only by taking advantage of the extreme weather such as dark night, heavy rain, and heavy fog can it be successful.

Seeing that Hu Yu'er had a misunderstanding, Gao Zongting explained: "On this trip, there are six battalions of infantry armor from Dengzhou City. We calculated that we could prevent Liu Ye from flying into the knife fish village, but Liu Ye Fei led his troops to flee south, first, it was possible to fall into the ambush circle we set up in the north of Dengzhou City, or there might be a rout army that bypassed Dengzhou City and fled directly to the west. Captain Ge led his troops over the port ridge to prevent a rout from leaking through Qijia, and alerted the partial division sent by Chen Zhihu in advance. The one who really went to Qijia to ambush Chen Zhihu was the part of the army from Dengzhou City and Dengzhou......"

"Oh, I see!" Hu Yu'er suddenly realized, even so, with six battalions of foot soldiers in the field to intercept two thousand cavalry, he still felt that the Huaidong Army really dared to fight, thinking that if Liu Yefei was alert and did not dare to return to Dengzhou, he would inevitably pass through Qijia if he fled west.

Hu Yu'er summoned the general Zhao Huaishan and instructed him: "You bring the men who are familiar with Buling and Qijia, and accompany Ge Changgen to intercept the rout first......

**********

Liu Yefei wanted to escape back to Dengzhou City, and in his panic, he didn't think that the Huaidong reinforcements might ambush in Dengzhou, at least at this time, there was indeed no abnormal phenomenon exposed in the direction of Dengzhou City.

Liu Zhiyong was angry, the Huaidong reinforcements came over, the situation in Dengzhou was so tense, and it was not impossible for the Huaidong Army to be deployed on Jinwei Island and rush to support Daoyu Village.

If it weren't for Liu Yefei turning his head and fleeing, revealing his whereabouts, could it be that the Huaidong reinforcements would still be able to eat them?

At this time, Liu Zhiyong still did not believe that they had revealed their deeds.

Liu Yefei hugged left and right, barely falling off the horse, seeing his nephew's resentful face, he knew that he was dissatisfied with himself, and said: "Be careful to sail the boat for ten thousand years, Huaidong Army entered the knife fish village silently, how can there be no reason?" I have been an official for many years, and I have no other skills, and I can always be aware of any disturbances in advance. It doesn't matter if the knife fish village can't be taken away, as long as Dengzhou City is still in our hands, you and I voted for Dayan, and a wealth is indispensable, and you can't be too greedy. ”

Liu Yefei only said to the generals below that Hu Yu'er had set a trap to kill them, and the ordinary generals didn't know the reason, they only knew that they would follow Liu Ye to Dengzhou City and run.

Traveling at night is an extremely difficult task, and any army in the world that can march at night and keep the ranks intensifying, can be called first-class elite.

Liu Yefei pulled out the more than 1,000 foot soldiers from Dengzhou City, and after dark, they rushed to the Daoyu Village and scattered them all in a sparse manner. At this time, he turned his head and walked back, Liu Yefei was a rabbit for the dog to drive, like a lost dog, he just wanted to flee back to Dengzhou City quickly, and he didn't have the heart to pack up the team, more than a thousand people were in a mess, no different from the rout.

Before the battle, they collapsed first, and it was inevitable that Gao Zongting disdained to send troops to pursue them, but mainly prevented them from fleeing westward, so that Chen Zhihu, who was rushing to Dengzhou, was alerted in advance.

Liu Yefei was afraid that there would be chasing soldiers in Daoyu Village, so he didn't dare to delay on the road, and he didn't have the heart to clean up these chaotic soldiers, so he took more than 100 horsemen and Liu Zhiyong through the chaotic soldiers, and rushed to Dengzhou City first, so that Yizi Liu Fang slowly cleaned up behind.

Walking to the west foot of Jigong Mountain in the north of Dengzhou City, Liu Yefei fell from the horse twice, his nose was blue and his face was swollen, and half of his teeth were lost.

Listening to the sound of "whooshing", Liu Yefei only thought that the wind was blowing through the woods, and when he was forced into it by a sharp arrow, his body could not maintain his balance, and he fell off the horse's back, only to realize that the sound of "whooshing" was the swinging of the bowstring and the arrow breaking through the air......
