This battle lasted for most of the night, each torch burned the sky above Xilen City red, and the shouts of killing shook the sky!
The attacking Xiye army did not expect that the Southern Border Army would kill the carbine. However, at this time, even if the Xiye people knew that they had been tricked by Dayu's plan to lure the enemy in, it was already too late.
For the Xiye army, this moment can be described as "there are wolves in front and tigers in the back".
Before dawn, the war finally subsided. Yao Lianghang and Han Huaijun strode on the battlefield where corpses were strewn everywhere and blood flowed like rivers. The two did not recuperate and rest, but led the Xuanjia Army and the Xijiang Army to take advantage of the victory to pursue and take Chu Liangcheng in one fell swoop.
General Xiye, who was originally guarding Chuliang City, led the remnant soldiers to retreat to Jinglan City, thirty miles away.
This victory boosted the morale that had been frustrated by the peace talks before.
The whole army was full of jubilation, everyone was rejoicing, and the high morale soared to the sky. Only Han Lingfu had a dark face, as black as the bottom of a pot.
At this time, Han Lingfu also figured out that Yao Lianghang and Han Huaijun were actually planning to use him, but he thought that Yao Lianghang was just a rough warrior and underestimated the other party, so he fell into the other party's trap.
What is even more hateful is Mr. Han Huai. As a descendant of the Han family, he still shoulders the emperor's order, and he colluded with the people of the Southern Border Army, wasting his father's trust in him, really hateful!
He wrote down this account!
Contrary to Han Lingfu's resentment, Yao Lianghang and Han Huaijun are in a good mood and high spirits at this moment.
When the two young men returned to Xileng City from Chuliang City, they were welcomed by the people in the city. After recovering Xileng City, the city ushered in life for the second time.
The two slowed down the speed of the horse, allowing the horse to pace unhurriedly, nodding to the passing people and soldiers from time to time.
Looking at the people whose faces were glowing again, Han Huaijun smiled a little, and praised: "Brother Yao, you are really clever!"
This plan to lure the enemy deep is wonderful!
It's a joy to win this battle!
"Brother Han, I don't dare to take credit for this!" Yao Lianghang said with a smile, and he seemed to be a lot familiar with Mr. Han Huai between his words and deeds.
From the initial joint operation, to the annihilation of the supply battalion the day before yesterday, to today's complete victory in this battle, the two young people cooperated happily. In just a few days, their friendship has taken several steps forward.
When they were in southern Xinjiang, the two had drank wine together, but now they are close friends.
Yao Lianghang continued frankly: "Before I left from southern Xinjiang, Marquis An Yi gave me a few tricks." He said it lightly, and sighed secretly: it's more than a few tricks! An Yihou is simply counting everything!
Han Huaijun was startled, and then suddenly realized.
Guanyubai, it turned out to be Guanyubai.
There is no one who knows the West Night better than Guan Yubai!
Thinking of that weak and elegant young man, whether it is Han Huaijun or Yao Lianghang, there is a bit of embarrassment, maybe this is heaven's jealousy of talents...
After a moment of silence, Yao Lianghang suddenly changed the topic, and said seriously: "Brother Han, this time King Gong may be selected, do you have a plan?"
"..." Han Huaijun's face froze, and the smile froze at the corner of his mouth.
Yao Lianghang stared at Han Huaijun's eyes, and asked slowly: "Brother Han, do you dare to resist the order?"
To resist the decree, the one who resisted was naturally the decree to discuss peace with Xiye.
Failure to comply with the decree is a serious crime of beheading and exterminating the family. Han Huaijun's surname is Han, even if the family is not exterminated, even if he survives by chance, his future will be ruined...
Han Huaijun's expression became more dignified, and his thin lips were pursed into a straight line. In just a moment, many images flashed through his mind, remembering what he saw and heard after he came to Xijiang——
The territory is riddled with holes;
The people were scattered;
Soldiers shed blood and died in battle...
The picture finally stops on the cruel battlefield, the corpses and blood that can't be seen at the edge, and the pairs of eyes that are dying...
Unknowingly, both of them stopped their horses, Han Huaijun lowered his eyes and meditated quietly, while Yao Lianghang waited quietly, without urging or making a sound. At this moment, the hustle and bustle around him seemed to be cut off by an invisible barrier...
After a long time, Han Huaijun raised his eyes to meet Yao Lianghang's clear eyes, a pair of black and clear eyes burst out with firm light, and said slowly: "Why don't you dare!"
At this moment, the eyes of the two young people are so similar, fierce and bloody, both of them are full of fighting spirit.
Yao Lianghang laughed loudly, and patted Han Huaijun on the shoulder boldly.
This time, he believed that Han Huaijun was a bloody man not because of the eldest son, but because of himself. He knew that Han Huaijun would make the right choice!
For Dayu, for the people, for righteousness!
Some things, they have to!
The two continued to ride forward, and from a distance, they saw that the gate of the Garrison Mansion had been surrounded by the Xuanjia Army.
Seeing the two of them coming back, a young general stepped forward to clasped his fists to Yao Lianghang and said: "General, King Gong's record has been cut... General Li and Deputy General Wang are also in the mansion now." He offered it with both hands. Yao Lianghang didn't even read Han Lingfu's excerpt, so he handed it to Han Huaijun.
Han Huaijun glanced at Zhezi casually, and put the Zhezi away with flickering eyes.
He was still hesitant about how to deal with General Li and the others, but now he doesn't have to hesitate anymore...
On this day, a great battle had just ended. Before everyone could react, there was another huge wave in the city of Xileng. Cold Dayu soldiers.
Han Lingfu, General Li, Vice-General Huang and other leaders and generals Jun were imprisoned in the garrison of Xileng City. Han Huaijun, who had just returned from victory, was in full swing and took control of the Western Frontier Army with lightning speed.
That night, the Western Frontier Army and the Southern Frontier Army launched a fierce attack on Jinglan City's Xiye Army. With reinforcements from Xiye, the enemy and us became evenly matched again. After a day and a night of fierce fighting, the two sides formed a stalemate and were at a stalemate...
Since then, sporadic wars continued, and Dayu was unable to break through the city several times, and Xiye was also unable to repel Dayu's army, so the stalemate lasted for several days.
The battle report from the front quickly spread to the capital city of Xiye. The king of Xiye was furious and sent another 50,000 reinforcements to Shangdang County, determined to win Xijiang in one go and defeat Dayu's prestige.
King Xiye and the courtiers of Xiye put all their attention on the war in Xijiang, but they didn't know that Dayu had a saying: "Don't be afraid of lighting the lights in the front yard, but be afraid of fire in the backyard." They didn't notice it at all. A team of 3,000 people disguised as several caravans entered the Canaan Pass in the southern border of Xiye from the current Qili County, which was once the Qili Kingdom.
Canaan Pass is the first pass in the southernmost part of Xiye, and it is also the city that all small southwest countries must pass through to enter Xiye. From Canaan Pass all the way north, passing through Yiluo Prefecture and Guli Prefecture is the capital city of Xiye, Jinjiu City.
Canaan Pass can be said to be an important barrier for Xiye.
That night, when the Xiye people in Canaan Pass were still sleeping peacefully, the 3,000 people who sneaked into the pass were well-trained and assembled, split into two groups at lightning speed, and launched surprise attacks on the north gate and the south gate respectively...
General Xiye, who was guarding the city, hurriedly dispatched troops to the city gates on both sides, but found that his opponents were like divine soldiers, each of them was capable of one against ten, and he was merciless in his strikes. "Buddha blocks and kills Buddha" momentum.
Amidst the deafening shouts of killing and the exchange of weapons, the south gate of Canaan Pass was pushed open by several people. The rumbling sound was like an earth dragon turning over in the dark night, and it seemed to be a signal sounding in the dark night.
However, the people of Xiye didn't know at this time that Xiye was about to turn upside down!
Outside the gate of the south city, torches were lit one by one, and thousands of soldiers appeared there at some unknown time. The leader was a young man in a moon-white robe, thin and elegant, calm and composed.
"Zi Ba Zi Ba..."
Countless torches were blazing in the air, and the dim yellow light cast a layer of radiance on the young man's face. He looked very handsome, personable, calm and restrained, and heroic.
In the murderous atmosphere all around, this scholar-like young man looked so abrupt, as if he had put a niche in a literary play into a martial play, and there was a strange sense of disharmony.
"Walk!"
After saying a simple word, the elegant young man walked in the front. The young man in black beside him walked leisurely along with him, and the soldiers behind him followed closely, walking rumblingly.
As soon as they entered the south city gate, a baby-faced youth in bronze-colored armor greeted them. It was Fu Yunhe.
He clasped his fists and gave a military salute to Guan Yubai: "Your Majesty!"
"General Fu, how is the situation in the city?" Guan Yubai asked lightly.
The two walked forward while talking.
"Don't worry, Lord Hou." Fu Yunhe straightened his chest, holding the scabbard in one hand, looking heroic, "The south gate and north gate of Canaan Pass are under the control of our army, and no one has escaped from the city. Now our army has lost 70 people, annihilated 500 enemy troops, captured 300 people, and the enemy army still has 300 people who are stubbornly resisting... All of them will be captured within an hour! No casualties... ”
His tone was sonorous and forceful, and his brows and eyes were even more vigorous. The knot in his heart that had troubled him was completely untied after talking with Xiao Yi last time.
Since the eldest brother can trust himself, doesn't mind his identity, and let him lead the army to fight such an important battle, why should he go out of his way and worry about it.
Just like what the elder brother said, he is now in the Southern Border Army, as a soldier, he just obeys the orders of the army, and there is no need to think about anything else, what he has to do now is to help Marquis An Yi take Xiye down!
Thinking about it, Fu Yunhe's expression became complicated again, and he quickly glanced at Guan Yubai's handsome side face beside him.
He had known for a long time that Guan Yubai and his elder brother Xiao Yi had a good relationship... Now it seems that it may be better than he thought!
How did the two become close friends? !
He only struggled for a moment, then touched his nose and stopped thinking about it, why should he care so much about other people's affairs!
What he should think about now is that after this battle is over, he can also get married.
Cousin Xia is still waiting for her triumphant return in Luoyue City!
The corners of Fu Yunhe's mouth curled up, revealing a silly smile, only to hear the official speech, and Bai pondered and said again: "General Fu, order Li Vice-General, General You, and General Wu to go to the garrison to discuss the military situation!"
"Yes, my lord."
Fu Yunhe immediately passed down the order, and after a stick of incense, several generals gathered in the main hall of the garrison mansion. A huge book case was placed in the center of the hall, and a huge map was laid out on the book case. The terrain of Xiye is marked in detail, and many small flags of different colors are marked...
"The twelve Xiye tribes, these twelve colored flags represent the distribution of these twelve tribes..."
Guan Yubai stared at the map with downcast eyes, pointing on the map with his slender fingers, and slowly said to everyone.
Occupying Canaan Pass is only their first step. This battle has just begun, and the next step is the real challenge. This is destined to be a road paved with blood and life, so there must be no mistakes!
The atmosphere in the hall was extremely dignified, and only the young man in black was particularly relaxed in both his demeanor and body.
He sat alone on a high-backed chair next to him, poured wine for himself leisurely, and called Xiao Si who was beside him to come over for a drink too, but Xiao Si turned a deaf ear to him and stared at the official in the center without blinking. language white.
Si Lin also followed Xiaosi's gaze, Guan Yubai's expression was so concentrated, the usual warmth in his dark eyes was gone, replaced by a sharpness, a murderous look.
This is the Guanyubai he knows, the former Guanyubai, the original Guanyubai!
Guan Yubai was originally raised by the emperor with a mere title of "Marquis of An Yi".
He is not a docile sheep, but a peerless famous knife. This knife should belong to the emperor, but now it has fallen into Xiao Yi's hands "by accident". For Dayu, is this a blessing or a curse? ? !
Si Lin raised his head and drank the contents of the cup in one gulp, showing a half-smile, what does it have to do with him
Anyway, just be happy in words!
The night slowly passed, and when a group of generals walked out of the garrison mansion, the sky outside was already dim.
All the generals returned to their respective battalions, rested and rectified, and then continued to go north in disguise from the next day...
The battle line on Xiye's side is advancing step by step just like Guan Yubai and Xiao Yi's plan, eating away at the whales; while in Luoyue City, Yu Xiufan, Chang Huaixi, Yan Xijun and other young generals of the new camp are very depressed. Every day when they were on duty in the Luoyue City camp, they racked their brains to hang around in front of Xiao Yi, trying to remind Xiao Yi tactfully, but it was unsuccessful. The new camp has not been given the task until today.
On September 17th, Yu Xiufan, Chang Huaixi, and Yan Xijun happened to be taking a bath, so the three of them made an appointment to have a drink at Tayun Restaurant, and discuss countermeasures by the way.
The three of them entered the usual elegant seats on the second floor, Yu Xiufan ordered three jars of wine in one go, and kept saying that he would never return home drunk.
When the wine jar was opened, the aroma of wine overflowed in the elegant seat.
Yu Xiufan's saliva began to secrete, and he said sourly: "Little Hezi doesn't have this good wine to drink now, the three of us might as well drink his share!" Fu Yunhe led the army, so naturally he couldn't drink.
Chang Huaixi and Yan Xijun looked at Yu Xiufan speechlessly, and he was not here, so is it interesting for him to play this kind of lip service
Yu Xiufan rubbed his nose awkwardly, poured wine for the two brothers, and then said, "Xiao Xizi, Xiao Junzi, do you think that the son really doesn't plan to use our new talent camp this time?"
Yao Lianghang is gone, Fu Yunhe is gone, even Guan Yubai is gone!
Although the three of Yu Xiufan didn't know what Shi Ziye was planning, they already vaguely felt that maybe this time Shi Ziye had a big plan.
Now, only the members of their rookie camp are still left in southern Xinjiang, Yu Xiufan really feels a sense of being left behind, fortunately there are Xiao Xizi and Xiao Junzi "accompanying" him...
Chang Huaixi picked up a white porcelain wine glass, drank it in one gulp, and said, "That's not necessarily the case. Don't forget, the son is still in the city..."
Too! With a thought in his mind, Yu Xiufan showed joy. He got up and was about to pour another drink for Chang Huaixi, but he saw that the other person was looking at the street outside, so he followed his gaze...
There were people coming and going on the street outside the restaurant, and many passersby all looked in the same direction.
Outside the Baihua Building not far away, a six or seven-year-old girl with a sallow complexion and a thin figure was crying hysterically: "Don't...don't. Uncle, my daughter wants to go home, and my daughter wants to go home to find her younger brother... Wow!"
The girl was crying and trying to escape in another direction, but a middle-aged man with a scruffy beard firmly held her hand, cursing in his mouth: "Stinky girl, you have to go if you don't! They have all collected money from others."
This big and small attracted many passersby to stop, and a middle-aged woman pointed at them and said, "I don't know where the parents of this little girl are, but this uncle wants to sell his niece to Go to a dirty place like Baihualou!"
"That's right! I'm not afraid that I won't have an ass hole after giving birth to a son!" The old woman beside her echoed angrily.
At this moment, a cold female voice came from behind them and asked curiously: "Eldest sister, I think this Baihualou is decorated in a flashy way, but it looks like a good restaurant. Why do you want to say What about 'pickled'?"
The two women followed the sound, and saw a fourteen or fifteen-year-old girl in a blue cotton dress standing beside them, with an oval face and a clear face, looking at them both suspiciously. Behind the girl were two little girls who looked like maids.
That's right, the little girl's family, I'm afraid she doesn't know where Baihualou is! The two women showed a strange look on their faces, and then the middle-aged woman explained: "Girl, you don't know, this Baihualou is a place of fireworks, so how can it be clean!"
The place of fireworks... The girl in Tsing Yi knew it, she frowned slightly, and looked at the middle-aged man and girl. As an elder, this person is disrespectful, really hateful!
To Yu Chufan and others from Tayun Restaurant, this girl in Tsing Yi looked familiar...
Yu Xiufan blurted out, "Huh? Isn't this the elder brother's younger sister?"
At the same time as the words fell, Yan Xijun, who was sitting by the window and drinking, also hurriedly looked out, and the eyes of the three young men were all on the elegant girl in plain clothes.
That's right, the girl in Tsing Yi was Xiao Fei who was traveling in disguise.
Xiao Fei turned her head and gave Taoyao a word, and Taoyao strode forward to the sloppy middle-aged man, and said crisply: "Hey! How much money do you want to sell this little sister?"
The middle-aged man was a little surprised. He looked at Tao Yao who was dressed by a maid, and then looked at Xiao Fei behind her. He felt that Xiao Fei was at best a daughter of a rice shop and wine shop, even if the family could support two maids. , can you raise one more with money
Moreover, this Baihualou paid out ten taels of silver!
The middle-aged man swallowed, the lion opened his mouth and said, "Fifteen taels, no, twenty taels!"
Under the man's greedy gaze, Taoyao took out two silver ingots from the purse, and was about to throw them to the other party, when a sharp female voice came from the front right: "Who dares to snatch my old lady?!"
As the words sounded, an old woman with heavy make-up came out of the Baihua Building, followed by two burly men. It was not a good person at first glance.
The old woman, no, or the old bustard, walked over with her waist twisted, and said proudly to Taoyao, "Little girl, you should first come first and then serve first when doing things. I have already given money to this little girl. It's from my Baihualou. Even if the old emperor comes, don't even think about taking this little girl away!"
The middle-aged man stared at the money in Taoyao's hand, and felt sorry for it, but what the bustard said was right... and he couldn't afford to offend Baihualou!
Hearing the old bustard's vulgar words, Xiao Fei frowned slightly, walked up to Taoyao's side, and said indifferently: "I would like to give twenty taels of silver, can you sell this little sister to me?"
Although twenty taels of silver is not bad, but for the old bustard, there is no reason to spit out the meat that has been eaten into the mouth, not to mention, she is still counting on raising this little girl to earn her hundreds of taels and thousands of taels!
"No." The old bustard said resolutely, and looked at Xiao Fei contemptuously, "Girl, look at your delicate skin and tender flesh, I advise you not to mind your own business, lest you hurt your flowery face!"
Saying that, the old bustard raised her hand, waved to the two burly men behind her and made a gesture, then pointed at the girl and raised her voice in displeasure, "Don't let my mother take this little girl away!"
"What if I must take care of it?" Xiao Fei looked at the old bustard and said again, her tone was calm and breezy.
The old bustard frowned, pointed at Xiao Fei with her chubby fingers, and said, "Teach me a lesson..."
"Wow!"
An excited dog barking interrupted the old bustard, and a gray shadow flashed past, rushing towards the old bustard...
