Chapter Ninety-One: The Night of Murder
Quanyang City was already close at hand, and in the evening the troops on the road could see two suns burning on each of the western hills, and they could feel the air hot and dry for every mile ahead.
Since finally letting go of his temper and tying up Huang Huaien, the speed has obviously become much faster, unless it is a short pot to eat, they will not stop at all, and it is estimated that they will be able to reach their destination tonight.
It is worth mentioning that although there were many people who were in an uproar after the 10,000-person commander was removed, it did not make much waves, first, Lord Huang was only temporarily arrested to take on an errand and was not very familiar with the feelings of his subordinates; second, they had heard more or less about what Liu Jizong had done in Wuzhou County, and their good impression of him was at least much stronger than that of Huang Huaien.
The poor eunuch has been in power for so many years, and now he is at the end of the frosted eggplant, after all, someone has let out his conversation with Liu Jizong, who dares to be close to him at this time, it is difficult to guarantee that it will not be misunderstood as a cowardly position.
Liu Jizong never got out of the carriage again, and occasionally only asked the people accompanying the carriage if they had met anyone on the way or how far they were from Quanyang City.
After receiving an answer, he silently lowered the curtains, and after a short time he took the trouble to ask questions, which became more frequent as time went on.
Everyone knows that the general at this moment is a blocked torrent, and there is only a lack of a breach of the embankment for him to explode, in order not to touch this moldy head The captains of the battalions repeatedly told him up and down, which inadvertently made the dispatch efficiency of the army much higher at once.
"Have you received any news?" asked Liu Jizong, who poked his head out again.
The face of the guard who was asked was more ugly than crying, Wu Hou asked him no less than ten times an hour, but there was no good news for him to rest, and the guard said helplessly: "General Qiyu, we will be in Quanyang City in two hours... Temporarily... No news yet...... With all due respect, the general should recuperate and recover his body as a top priority. ”
"I see. Wu Hou didn't care, obviously guessed that it was this answer, but he was still inevitably disappointed.
However, just as he lowered his hand, a pawn in front of him galloped on a horse, his face was quite excited, and he even stumbled when he spoke: "Report... Report to the General! A strong man with a grudge... General Qiu is back. ”
Liu Jizong, who had just laid down, immediately sat up his buttocks, hurriedly lifted the curtain and said, "Quick! Let them come over!"
Bai Luofeng became a flower and a wild cat was embarrassed, and he put Qiu Yanbin into the carriage and said calmly: "People, rescued." ”
"This ......" Liu Jizong hurriedly leaned over to answer, and his fainting man was worried.
"I tossed it when I brought it out, and then you asked the maniac to come and show him. Bai Luofeng obviously didn't want to stay in the car for too long, and when he left, he seemed to think about it for a long time and couldn't help but remind him more: "A fire in Quanyang City almost killed three or four percent of the Mongolian people...... The Han soldiers in it also stayed there...... Although I am not right, I hope you will not disappoint the dead again......"
Liu Jizong looked out of the car door for a long time, and when he came back to his senses, Bai Luofeng was gone, and Wuhou stared at Qiu Yanbin lying next to him, and a certain place in his heart seemed to loosen.
Is it true that you are wise enough to protect yourself?
The moon rose into the deserted sky, and the white sparkled and sparkled. The moon rose so brightly from the edge of the trees that the earth was covered with endless hoarfrost, which gave the ground a chill for early winter.
But even on such a clear night, I still couldn't see the Milky Way in the sky, because the firelight of Quanyang City covered the brilliance of the stars, and even the dark mountains in the distance were illuminated.
Liu Jizong and the others finally saw the whole picture of the city, and two miles from the north gate of the city was the camp where Duogun'er was stationed, and there was a faint noise of high-pitched excitement.
The Mongols left only a few patrols on duty to relieve the burden of the siege of the city a few days ago, and when a moment of mourning and the joy of victory came to their hearts, their comrades trapped in the city had been thrown out of the clouds, and some even began to rejoice that they would get an extra piece of the pie when they shared the money in the future.
The loss of Quanyang City symbolized the loss of the last protection of the southerners, and it was possible to survive in the south unless they had a god descended, and it was simply nonsense to regain the lost territory.
However, there is still one thing that makes him feel a little abnormal: why hasn't there been news from Wuzhou County, it stands to reason that no matter whether you win or lose, you should send someone to squeak, and it is impossible to die.
However, this slightest concern was dispelled with the sound of the subordinates outside the tent drinking and punching twice - even a city tower of dozens of zhang like Quanyang City has been reduced to a defeated general, what kind of waves can a small Wuzhou County make!
Duo Gun'er took a sip of milk wine and began to calculate: Quanyang suffered a lot of losses in the First Battle, and although the southward movement could not be continued in the short term, only entering the city was equivalent to burying a dark disease in the key places of the Yu Dynasty, and when they recovered their vitality, they would dig for the Han people's Kyoto.
In addition, Wuzhou County held it in his hands, and slaughtered them fiercely before the iron hooves tread all over the north and south of the river, anyway, the wealth accumulated by the successive dynasties after the Han people occupied the fertile land of the Central Plains was useless for the dead.
"Come, send a few people to Wuzhou County quickly!" Duo Gun'er put down the wine glass, licked his lips, and said roughly: "Tell the people over there not to delay in the same place, hurry back to meet, be happy, and wait for the Khan to ascend the throne of the Han people." ”
The moon was rising to a high place, and it was midnight, and the sound of the wind and insects that had existed seemed to have disappeared, except for a few bird whimpers scattered from time to time in the empty air with the smell of blood.
Bai Luofeng and Xiao Xizhi were opening the lid of the wine jug by the moonlight, and one of them took a sip to warm their bodies, and next to them was the still steaming corpse.
The tragic condition of the deceased is different, the sword on the chest is obviously killed by Bai Luofeng, the whole body is covered with black ink is Li Xianggao's means, and the person he met before his death with his chest deep and his ribs were broken was of course quitting.
"You piano idiot, you can tell at once that something is wrong in the woods. Bai Luofeng sighed, "How do I feel that it's the same everywhere, I can't hear any doorway." ”
Xiao Xizhi joked with a spring breeze on his face: "Because you are Bai Luofeng, and I am Xiao Xizhi." ”
"Alas, it's really inconvenient for this Buddha qi to be used to kill people in the middle of the night. Jiekong shook his hand relaxedly, but he was helpless against the blooming of the Buddha's light that came with Wuxianggong, "If it weren't for the rough skin and thick flesh, there really wouldn't be any guarantee that this person would be cut off without exercises." ”
"If you endure it any longer, I'm afraid that after a while, you'll be so killed that you can't raise your hand. Xiao Xizhi had a further understanding of the monk's face.
The four of them sat on the hill and looked at the enemy camp below, Quanyang City was located in a low-lying area, and the whole terrain was "concave". It is also thanks to the people who built the city back then that they did not expect that this place would become what it is today, and built the city in the middle of the basin without any worries, otherwise Quanyang City only needs to move a little higher, and Liu Jizong will never occupy such a good location.
Nearly 20,000 men and horses stood by to rest for a while, slowing down the fatigue of the past few days, and the general had already issued an order to attack the Mongols at night and night, and no fire could be seen before that, so there was a scene of quitting the sky and complaining bitterly.
The bright moon gradually rolled down, and there was no movement in the Mengren's camp except for the occasional neighing of war horses that were illuminated by the fire in the city.
Just as the dark clouds completely covered the half moon in the sky, the gentle breeze from the forest stirred the sweet dreams of the Mengren, and Liu Jizong in the car and Bai Luofeng in the forest suddenly opened their eyes.
The wind is high and the night is quiet, it's time to kill!
