"Well……"
"boom……"
Immediately afterwards, several muffled hums and the sound of landing sounded alternately, and at the flick of a finger, four or five personal soldiers stopped breathing and fell from their horses.
The surroundings became more chaotic, with the sound of sharp arrows breaking through the air, the shrill neighing of horses one after another, and several torches also fell down, causing the weeds by the roadside to burn fiercely...
The scorching flames quickly joined together, causing the already frightened horse to panic even more.
"Everyone be careful!"
While shouting, Dari Rin pulled out the long knife from the scabbard on his waist, and the long knife slammed horizontally, only to hear a "pop", the blade accurately blocked a feather arrow that shot towards him.
At the collision place, sparks are aroused, and they disappear in a flash.
In the commotion, Dali Rin's sharp eyes shone in the firelight, and he shouted loudly: "They must be from the Southern Border Army, they are here to save people! Quick, show me good people..."
Before he finished speaking, there were bursts of dense air-breaking sounds coming from all directions, like a large swarm of dense wasps...
Dari Rin didn't have a chance to finish his words again. A sharp arrow shot from right in front of him like lightning. His eyes were wide, and he didn't have time to react any more. The sharp arrow went straight through his neck. ...
"Crack!"
Before the boundless darkness completely enveloped him, he seemed to hear the sound of a sharp arrow piercing his spine, and then he didn't know anything...
Dari Rin's body fell back, and his eyes bulged out like dead fish. They were dim and dim, as if he was saying silently, how is it possible! How could he possibly die!
Dali Rin died, but those sharp arrows didn't stop, they kept shooting...
"Whoosh whoosh..."
When the surroundings were quiet, all the Xirong people fell, leaving only two prison cars and two young men detained in them.
The torches were lit one by one on both sides of the official road, and together with the burning wild grass all around, the flames illuminated the area for nearly a mile as if it were daylight, and also illuminated the faces of the two young people in the prison cart. There was no surprise in the expressions of the people, as if they had long known that they would be saved; the difference was that the eyes of the former were bright and determined, while the eyes of the latter were dark and bleak...
The cold wind in the winter was blowing, and gradually, the official road became dark again, the prison cart was empty, and the surviving horses were pulled away, leaving only dead dead bodies and pools of red bloodstains, which were about to be extinguished. In the sporadic flames, the blood is dazzling red...
The night was getting deeper, and only the cold moon in the night sky was watching what was happening below. The corpses in this place slowly became rigid, and the pale skin was blue and purple, so terrifying that it was almost impossible to look directly.
As the moon faded in the sky, the rising sun in the east began to slowly rise, illuminating the gloomy land.
"Ta Tata..."
The messy sound of horses' hooves came from the direction of Liuquan City, and a group of Xiye soldiers, nearly a hundred people, came galloping on their horses, slowed down a hundred or so feet away, and finally stopped in front of the dead corpse in this place...
On that day, what happened here came to the ears of Tai Hai, the Grand Marshal of the Eastern Expedition in Xiye, and there were several feather arrows stained with blood. He was so nervous that he didn't dare to look up at Tart Hai.
In this Western Night Army, no one knew that Dali Rin was a close associate of General Tahai, but now Dali Rin was sent to envoy Dayu but died unexpectedly...
The atmosphere in the tent was almost stagnant, and the lieutenant only felt the heartbeat beating in his ears.
"Is this a feather arrow used by the Southern Border Army?" Tahai's voice suddenly came from above.
The lieutenant hurriedly replied: "Yes, General. The southern border army that came to support the western border this time is called the Xuanjia Army, and the arrow tips on their feather arrows are made of Xuantie."
"Okay! Very good!" Tu Hai didn't speak any more, and let out a wicked laugh.
The lieutenant below was stunned for a while, and cautiously raised his eyes and glanced at Ta Hai.
Tart Hai, who was sitting behind the mahogany case, was smiling, but his face was gloomy and gloomy. His sharp eyes looked at a feather arrow in his hand, and a strange light shone in his pupils.
Although he sacrificed Dari Rin, his "diversion scheme" was the first step to success.
Now, they have suffered "heavy losses" in Xiye, and naturally the peace talks between the two countries cannot continue...
"Next, it's the turn of this commander to ask Dayu to give us an explanation for Xi Ye!" Ta Haidi said slowly again.
The lieutenant vaguely felt that Tahai's words were not only superficial, but there seemed to be other deep meanings, but he could only clasped his fists and said, "The general is wise!"
Tahai played with the feather arrow casually, and the corner of his mouth drew a complacent arc, quite confident that everything was in my hands.
He Xiye paid a little price for this "diversion scheme", but got double the reward.
First of all, the Southern Border Army had a rift with Dayu. As long as he fanned the flames, the Zhennan Palace and Dayu in the Southern Border would completely fall out. In this way, Dayu would have cut his own arm. Power is greatly reduced.
Secondly, Han Huaijun was forced to leave the Xijiang Army. Although it was a pity that he could not kill him, at least Xijiang was under his control.
After a few days, as soon as the reinforcements sent by the king arrive, he can order to launch a fierce attack on Chuliang City... He is bound to take the western frontier within this year and show his military might!
Thinking about it, Ta Hai narrowed his eyes slightly, a glint of light flashed in his eyes, and said loudly: "Come here, brush and ink will serve!"
Half an hour later, a group of dozens of Xiye cavalrymen rushed out of Liuquan City, all the way to Chuliang City.
The new envoy rushed to Chuliang City in the afternoon of the same day, and delivered Tahai's letter and a feathered arrow stained with mottled blood to Marquis Weiyuan.
When Weiyuanhou read the letter, he was so shocked that he could hardly believe his eyes, and suddenly realized that this errand in the Western Xinjiang might not be as easy as he thought.
Yesterday, after Yao Lianghang and Han Huaijun were taken away by Xiye people, Weiyuanhou immediately dispatched troops and led 20,000 troops to surround Jinglan City, trying to control the 10,000 Nanjiang troops in the city to prevent them from ruining Dayu and Xiye. However, when the gate of Jinglan City was opened, Weiyuan Hou was dumbfounded. Jinglan City was empty, and there was not a single soldier. As for those people, they all evacuated the last time the Dayu Army retreated...
Weiyuanhou did not give up and let people search the entire Jinglan City, convinced that this was an empty city!
At the moment, Weiyuanhou vaguely felt that something was not right, but he could only persuade himself that maybe the Southern Border Army got the news that Yao Lianghang was taken down, and went back to Southern Border...
It was not until now that Tahai sent someone to ask for this letter, and Weiyuanhou did not know that Dalilin and his party had failed to return to Liuquan City.
In the letter, Tae Hai angrily scolded Dayu for being cunning and cunning. On the surface, he wanted to negotiate with him Xiye for peace. He will report this matter to King Xiye, if Dayu can't give him an explanation, then they won't dare to rest if Xiye doesn't settle Dayu!
Weiyuan Hou Jiang read Tate Hai's letter several times, and then looked at the black iron feather arrow again, and his heart skipped a beat.
Obviously, the people from the Southern Border Army kidnapped Han Huaijun and Yao Lianghang, and slaughtered the envoys of Xiye. The Southern Border Army is so daring and so daring.
"Quick! Immediately send someone to check the current whereabouts of the Southern Border Army... Once there is news, don't disturb them, and hurry back and report to Ben Hou!"
With the order of Weiyuanhou, the entire Chuliang City was in turmoil...
At this moment, the Southern Border Army, whom Weiyuan Marquis and Tahai misses, is on Heshi Mountain, about twenty miles away from Chuliang City. Among the poplar trees, there are turquoise camps hidden all over the mountains.
The two young men stood on the top of the mountain like pines and cypresses, unconcernedly facing the cold wind that rolled in the yellow sand.
The sky was a bit gloomy, and layers of clouds piled up in the sky.
Han Huaijun looked at the eastern sky with a complicated expression, which was the direction of the royal capital. His fists were clenched together tightly, and countless tangled emotions flashed in his eyes, anger, disappointment, loss, sadness...
In contrast, Yao Lianghang, who was beside him, looked calm and indifferent, as if he was out for a green walk with his friends on weekdays.
The surroundings were quiet, except for the sound of the cold wind blowing on the leaves and gravel.
I don't know how long it took, but Han Huaijun suddenly gave a wry smile, half sighing and half sighing, "Brother Yao, you have said everything..."
Han Huaijun's voice was extremely bitter. He always hoped that things would not develop to this point, but after Weiyuan Hou came to Chuliang City by order, his heart gradually sank, and after that, he was like a puppet. At the mercy of Weiyuanhou...
On the day that Han Lingfu left Chuliang City in early October, Han Huaijun had a conversation with Captain Yao Lianghang. From Yao Lianghang's frank and meaningful words, Han Huaijun was acutely aware that Xiao Yi was probably intending for Xiye this time...
Strictly speaking, what Xiao Yi was drawing had nothing to do with Dayu. Han Huaijun only wanted to have a clear conscience and didn't want to worry about it, but this matter entangled him for several days.
He couldn't help but think, this matter could be hidden for a while, but not for the rest of his life. How would the emperor react when the Southern Border Army conquered Xiye? !
The emperor was always afraid of Zhennan Wangfu, and he would be furious at that time, and the imperial court would definitely go to war with the southern border...
Once Dayu's wars are raging and wolves are everywhere, it is Dayu's people who suffer, and Dayu's soldiers who die!
Whether he is a descendant of the Han family or a general of Dayu, he can't helplessly watch things develop to that point, but silently watch and do nothing; he can't sit back and watch Dayu Jiangshan, which was created by the ancestors of the Han family, fall apart...
So, he went to Yao Lianghang and made a request to see Xiao Yi.
However, Yao Lianghang proposed to make a bet with him, saying that after Han Lingfu returned to the capital this time, he would definitely speak to the emperor, and the emperor would be suspicious because of this and would no longer believe him...
At that time, Yao Lianghang's affirmative voice seemed to still be in his ears: "...Brother Han, the emperor will not only change his generals, but also very likely use your and my life as a bargaining chip to negotiate with Xiye..."
Han Huaijun didn't believe it, and didn't want to believe it.
Although he felt that the emperor was a little confused in recent years, not only did the eldest Princess Yongyang sit in the court, but also some loyal ministers and generals supported him. How could he have gotten to such a point!
Moreover, the emperor is his eldest uncle, he has always been very kind to him, and he has never looked down on him because of his background.
He didn't believe that the emperor would treat him like this!
But the emperor slapped him fiercely from thousands of miles away...
The scenes that happened in these short few days flashed in Han Huaijun's mind like a revolving lantern. His expression became more tangled. It collapsed, turning into the yellow sand of the western border little by little, and disappeared in the gusts of wind...
On that day, Yao Lianghang promised him that if none of this happened, it meant that Dayu still had hope, and he would take Han Huaijun to see Xiao Yi...
The two clapped on the spot to swear.
At that time, Han Huaijun was full of confidence.
However, the facts have proved that Dayu has no hope!
Han Huaijun sighed faintly, his shoulders collapsed instantly, his heart was even more bitter and unbearable, he felt as if he was in a thick fog, he didn't know where he was, and he didn't know where to go...
"Brother Han, what are your plans now?" Yao Lianghang turned to look at Han Huaijun, his black eyes were full of sincerity, and he was not complacent just because things were going as he said.
Originally, this was not something to be proud of. He still remembered that in the outer study of Bixiaotang, when An Yi Hou explained to him, his expression was so solemn. Perhaps, in An Yi Hou's heart, there was also such a glimmer of hope, and expectations were great. Yu is still alive.
"I'm already considered a traitor to Dayu now." Han Huaijun gave a wry smile and said sadly, "I don't care about myself, I can't help worrying about what happens to Prince Qi's mansion..."
His father was the emperor's concubine, so it was impossible for the emperor to punish the nine clans of the Qi palace because of his fault. After all, they all came from the same blood!
only……
Han Huaijun tightened his brows and continued with a solemn expression, "I'm only worried that my wife will be implicated by me..."
Han Huaijun's heart was heavy, as if he had crushed a boulder, but he didn't regret it.
A manly man, he should do something and not do something. Even if he does it again, he will still choose to resist the decree and choose to fight against those Western Night people!
Jiang Yixi is his wife and has always been in the same mind with him. She will definitely understand his intentions and agree with his approach!
There are deep thoughts, worries, guilt, and sadness in Han Huaijun's eyes...
With the protection of the Queen and the Duke of Enguo, Xi'er should not lose her life, but the way to punish a person is not only to kill her, the emperor can put her under house arrest for a lifetime, and she can make her a green lamp and an ancient Buddha...
He originally hoped that he could protect her for the rest of his life, holding his hand and growing old with him, but now...
He is a rebel general of Dayu, and he may never see Jiang's Xier again in the future...
Thinking about it, the sadness in his eyes deepened.
"Brother Han, relax!" Yao Lianghang patted Han Huaijun on the shoulder and comforted him with a smile, "Mrs. Zun will be fine, the prince has already made arrangements."
Han Huaijun's pupils shrank slightly, his eyes showing excitement, "Brother Yao, you mean..."
The smile in Yao Lianghang's eyes deepened, and he looked at Han Huaijun and said, "Brother Han, can't you still trust Shi Ziye?"
Since Xiao Yi had long known that today would come, he would naturally make corresponding arrangements in the capital in advance, otherwise they would not dare to rashly encourage Han Huaijun to disobey the emperor.
Han Huaijun looked at Yao Lianghang, his originally stiff body finally relaxed, and a slight smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
If even Xiao Yi can't trust him, who else can he trust!
The two young men looked at each other and smiled, the wind blew their hair and their robes rattled, making them feel a little uninhibited.
Yao Lianghang raised his eyes and looked in the direction of Chu Liangcheng, and said loudly, "Brother Han, let's wait for the charges on both of us to get bigger and bigger!"
Yao Lianghang laughed heartily, with expectation, confidence and excitement in his voice, and the laughter drifted in the wind...
Weiyuanhou did not live up to Yao Lianghang's expectations. On the one hand, in the name of collaborating with the enemy and treason, he ordered the soldiers of the Western Xinjiang Army to search for the whereabouts of the two men, and on the other hand, he quickly wrote a note.
In this document, the Hou Weiyuan indignantly stated that Han Huaijun not only disobeyed the decree, but also murdered the envoy of Xiye together with Yao Lianghang, which was clearly an act of treason. Sent to the capital...
At the same time, the news that the Marquis of Weiyuan sent people to hunt down Han Huaijun and Yao Lianghang quickly spread in the army, and the commotion of changing generals had not subsided. Many soldiers are discussing in private...
"Wang Lao Er, have you heard? General Han and General Yao were rescued by the Southern Border Army..."
"Is there anyone who doesn't know about this?!" The old soldier ruffian known as Wang Lao Er sighed, and then lowered his voice, "Master Hou has already sent a discount to the capital, and wants to rule General Han and General Yao in collusion with the enemy and treason. sin!"
"Humph!" A disdainful snort came from the other side, and a bearded soldier said angrily, "Then Weiyuan Hou has already dedicated General Han and General Yao to the people of Xiye, why don't they run away? Are you being humiliated to death by Xiye people?"
"That's right." Wang Lao Er hurriedly agreed, "What do you think the emperor thinks? General Han and General Yao are also meritorious officials in defending the Western Frontier, and they also recaptured Yamen City, Sireng City, The four cities of Chuliang City and Jinglan City have been beaten to the core of Xiye people. As far as I can see, if we continue to fight, we may be able to recover the other lost cities... Why does the emperor want to punish the two of them?!"
"General Yao didn't say that at the gate of the city that day, all the birds are bowing and hiding!" Another voice joined their discussion.
"Speaking of which, we also killed Xiye people, do you think it will be..."
Weiyuanhou also wants to give them all to the Xiye people to appease the anger of the Xiye people?
This thought appeared in the hearts of the soldiers at the same time, and a feeling of unease and indignation arose in their hearts.
As soldiers, it is their destiny to defend the country and die in battle, but if they are "sold" by the admiral and beg for pity by the barbarians, then his mother is really aggrieved!
Similar conversations continued to take place in the city, as if there were invisible hands that cast stones in the hearts of the soldiers, and ripples appeared, and they became more and more intense... and gradually spread. Among the common people, in the city of Chuliang, the morale of the army was turbulent, and the hearts of the people were unstable.
Chuliangcheng seems to be calm, but the surging torrent beneath it is so turbulent that it will roar out at any time like a tornado...
All this has long been seen by Xiye's spies lurking in the city, and secretly relayed various changes in the Western Xinjiang army back to Liuquan City.
The army's disintegration is the best news for Tahai. While he sent people to send four or five letters in a row to urge Weiyuanhou to hand over the people, he waited for the best time in secret.
Unexpectedly, the oriole is behind.
As night fell, both the western border and the western night were shrouded in darkness. In a large dry loess gully, there were densely packed soldiers in armor, all lurking silently and motionless.
Behind the gully, two young people were talking, one of them said, one was smiling and responding stupidly, and a pair of black eyes looked at the other pitifully like a puppy.
Xiao Yi raised the corners of his lips and smiled casually: "Abo, those of you who have never been on the battlefield, please be honest with me today, and follow me well today... otherwise..." He didn't say any more, but The threat is beyond words.
"Big brother, don't worry." Yuan Lingbai obeyed obediently. Which of these younger brothers didn't know the big brother's temperament was a good thing. He didn't dare to challenge the big brother's authority at will. Anyway, as long as he can fight to kill the enemy, he is not in a hurry!
At this moment, a thirty-year-old General Manager Wei Qian walked over quickly and said, "Master Shizi, the water transport convoy to Puli City has been taken!"
Xiao Yi's smile increased again and he was wanton.
