Liu Xin knew that he would not be able to conceal the fact that he had left Xiangyang personally to conquer Dong Zhuo for too long, but he had the idea that coaxing a moment was a moment, so he changed into the attire of an ordinary captain, and it was not very conspicuous among the generals. ,
Everyone rode their horses out of Jianmen Pass, and suddenly discovered that there was still thick snow yesterday. This morning it has been swept to both sides of the road. The road that has been in disrepair for many years has also undergone simple repairs.
The cost of war is huge. In the era of cold weapons, the main cost of war is human life. Almost any victory is the accumulation of countless lives of both the enemy and the enemy. However, in Liu Xin's eyes, human life is the most precious. Especially these well-trained soldiers are irreplaceable. He would rather reduce the casualties of the soldiers by consuming a lot of materials. This is the biggest difference between him and other princes in the concept of combat. Because of this, Liu Xin will He did not hesitate to develop trebuchets, strong bow crossbows, and pewter guns. However, the stones and arrows consumed by trebuchets and strong bow crossbows in combat are very huge, which also brings a lot to logistics and transportation. pressure,
Fortunately, Liu Xin already has a huge engineering team. This year, it has been managed in accordance with the military model and trained them to become a paramilitary force. During this conquest of Dong Zhuo, Liu Xin considered all the details. Very comprehensive. In addition to the army, he also brought an engineering team of 30,000 people.
Yesterday evening, when the vanguard of the First Army set off quietly, the engineering team also began to clean the snow outside the customs and repair the roads. This work has been going on all night, and it is still in progress. After traveling more than 20 miles in a whole day, Liu Xin and the others arrived at Jiameng Pass in only half an hour.
Everyone looked up and saw that the city gates were wide open and the banner of the Han army was flying above the city. In fact, no matter whether Dong Zhuo or the princes of the towns, everyone regarded themselves as the Han army, and even the armor was not too big. However, Liu Xin had the intention to seize the world, and he was already prepared. The general’s banner and armor were changed all the time, and everyone recognized at a glance that the people standing on the top of the city were all his own army.
The invincible Jiameng Pass fell into Liu Xin's hands almost without a single soldier, and with careful planning, not only Yang Huai and Gao Pei were all captured with their hands, but none of their soldiers escaped, even Zhang Lu sent them. The four beauties of's were also brought under control, and Tian clan became a prisoner again in a very miserable manner.
As soon as he entered the gate of Yang Mansion, Shi Huan greeted him and whispered a few words in Liu Xin's ear. He guarded Jianmen Pass for a long time, and he was responsible for keeping the more than 100 special forces soldiers lurking in Jiameng Pass. Contact, he was the one who led the army to ambush outside the city last night. This time he made a great achievement. After this battle, Shi Huan became one of the few people in the army who knew the existence of Special Forces and Phantom Spy. , What he secretly reported to Liu Xin was that the treasurer Song wanted to enter the Yang Mansion at night, and almost broke the original plan.
After hearing Shi Huan’s secret report, Liu Xin couldn’t help frowning. The two secret forces, the Phantom Secret Spy and the Special Forces, have always been the most loyal, and the execution of orders has always been true. He didn't expect it,
In the front hall, Yang Huai and Gao Pei had been tied up by the Big Five and held them in between. The two were still drunk and still had a hangover. The battle was really lost. Tian was also taken over. Shopkeeper Song also knelt aside, and couldn't help but secretly startled. I didn't expect that the Dongchuang incident happened so quickly, and it was because he was tired of him.
Last night, shopkeeper Song sneaked up outside the gate of Yang’s mansion and was spotted by the special forces soldiers ambushing in the dark. Although shopkeeper Song is a secret spy, there is a very detailed division of labor among the secret spy. He usually It's just a cover of a businessman, collecting all kinds of intelligence, and training for a period of time, such as hiding and flying low and high, but he is not good at close combat. When the soldier does his hand, Shopkeeper Song realized it, and it was too late to react. Fortunately, the soldier recognized the phantom secret on Shopkeeper Song’s night-walking clothes in time, and the palm of his shot was deflected to save his life. Shopkeeper Song also secretly glanced at the Tian clan who had just been taken in, sighed secretly, and said to his heart that the time has come, and he still has no way to change the destiny of the Tian clan.
Although the two of them only had a brief exchange with their eyes, Liu Xin had already seen clearly and understood everything at once. The two of them had been in love for a long time, and they had already developed their minds.
Liu Xin ordered the soldiers to wake up Yang Huai and Gao Pei, and said sharply: "You two want to block the way of my army with a small Jia Mengguan pass. It is tantamount to hitting a rock with an egg. Both were captured today. What else can you say? ,"
Although Yang Huai and Gao Pei were awake, they were as if they were in a dream. They didn't know what happened, so they could not answer.
Liu Xin turned to shopkeeper Song again and said, "You are so brave to send Yang Huai the rebel's wife and children to Jiamengguan. Are you really afraid of death?"
The shopkeeper Song felt wronged, didn’t you let me do this, but he didn’t dare to refute, so he buried his head and muttered, "My lord, Xiaomin is a businessman. As long as there is something profitable, Xiaomin Naturally, I have to give it a try, and the Tian family and the two children have been bought by Xiaomin. They are Xiaomin’s private property. How Xiaomin handles that is his own business. Xiaomin is not guilty. How could it be? I'm afraid of death, please enlighten me."
Liu Xin nodded secretly. It seems that Shopkeeper Song has not forgotten his identity as a secret spy, and it is still a cure. He deliberately hummed and said: "What a sharp mouth, you deserve to be a profiteer, let me spare you this time. However, the Tian family is not your property now. He is now a prisoner of this lord. He has to go to the Jiaofang Division for a while, come here."
Shopkeeper Song hurriedly said: "Sir, wait a minute, Xiaomin is willing to die to redeem Tian's crime,"
Tian clan looked at the treasurer Song with tears and sighed, "I killed you."
Suddenly, she didn't know where the courage came from, and she stood up and said: "My lord, this is not about the treasurer Song, it's all my own idea. If you want to be punished, you should punish me."
Liu Xin sneered: "Since you are so brave to take responsibility, then I will punish the two together."
Tian clan glanced at treasurer Song, and suddenly he felt that he was finally relieved, and treasurer Song had the same look. Yang Huai, who was gradually waking up, was already shocked by the scene in front of him. Tian and Song The shopkeeper is definitely not as simple as they said yesterday. The two of them are adulterous. If he still doesn’t understand at this time, then he would be too stupid.
But after listening to Liu Xin's talk, he said: "Then I will punish you two to stay together forever, never separate, treasurer Song, you are willing to marry Tian as your wife,"
Shopkeeper Song didn’t expect Liu Xin’s so-called punishment to be like this, but he already understood that Liu Xin was slandering him and he would no longer be held accountable for his unauthorized actions. He couldn’t help being grateful and nodded, but he couldn’t speak.
Liu Xin turned to Tian's family again and asked, "You are willing to marry the treasurer Song,"
Tian stayed up all night, and the heavens were fighting in her mind. What she kept thinking about was Shopkeeper Song and Yang Huai, which one was in her heart. By this time, she didn't hesitate at all, and almost blurted out: "I'm willing ,"
Yang Huai just heard that Liu Xin was going to betroth Tian to someone else in front of him, and his heart was already filled with anger. At this time, when he heard Tian say the three words "I do," he was even more furious. Tian did not even look at him at all. This was a terrible insult to him. Yang Huai finally couldn't help but cursed: "You, you, a couple of adulterers**, you guys, puff..." Blood splattered out,
As Yang Huai's blood spurted out, Liu Xin breathed a sigh of relief. He couldn't help but feel very refreshed. Liu Xin hated these two people. If it hadn't been for them to dedicate Jia Mengguan to Zhang Lu, now Hanzhong has already In his own hands, when Dong Zhuoxin arrived in Chang'an, his footing was not stable, he might have been defeated in his own hands, why is it necessary to spend so much effort now to vomit blood from Yang Huai, Liu Xin finally figured out. Bad breath,
Who knows, the thing that surprised Liu Xin is still to come. Seeing Yang Huai vomiting blood, Tian didn't feel the slightest sadness. Instead, he said coldly: "Yang Huai, I was taken to Xiangyang with my children at the beginning, as long as you Take the initiative to surrender to the adults, and we can reunite with the family and be peaceful, but you are covered by lard, thinking about your own glory and wealth, and abandoning our mother and son. The shopkeeper Song, under my painful pleading, This escorted us over, but you avenged your grievances and wanted to put the treasurer Song to death. You ended up here today. It is completely self-inflicted. No one will sympathize with you. To be honest, I am pregnant with the flesh and blood of the treasurer Song. You and I are absolutely gracious,"
Yang Huai suffered even more humiliation after hearing these words, and suddenly became angry and fainted.
Liu Xin said in a deep voice: "Come here, drag the two of them out and chop, pass the first four doors,"
The shopkeeper Song saw that Liu Xin not only forgave him for his past, but also rationed Tian to him as his wife. He was grateful. After completing this mission, he was honorably retired, but now he says the word "retirement" anyway. He did not export, he was loyal to Liu Xin throughout his life,
Settling down the two people, Shopkeeper Song and Tian, Liu Xin smiled and said to everyone: "Everyone is the same as me. You should get hungry when you wake up early. Let's go to the gate and enjoy the breakfast. Take a look at the beauty around Jiameng Pass,"
Everyone still remembered what Liu Xin said yesterday morning, but they didn’t expect it to become reality. They all laughed and walked out of the Yang mansion with him.
Not long after the trip, he suddenly saw a few white pigeons flying from a courtyard on the side of the street. Liu Xin's heart moved when he saw this, and he shouted: "Hurry up, shoot down."
Although it was said that he had won the Jia Meng Pass without experiencing a major battle, all the generals who accompanied him were armed with weapons. Hearing Liu Xin's shouts, they bowed their bows and set up arrows, shooting at the white doves in the sky. past,
Seeing the hustle and bustle around him, Cheng Yu said with a smile: "The lord doesn't want to take this pigeon for us for breakfast, right?"
Liu Xin said solemnly: "I suspect that someone is using flying pigeons to spread books,"
