Da Wei Chun

Chapter 475
Like five thunders hitting the top, Lu Shikui shook violently.

The matter is on the verge of failure, and the failure is so coincidental, just when Rouran's army is about to enter the pass?

Things have come to this point, it is too late to think so far.But the question is, what about the big brother?
Seeing that Lu Shikui's face was black and blue, his eyes were closed tightly, as if he was about to fall.Lu Xiao worried: "Second brother?"

"No... no problem..."

Lu Shikui bit the tip of his tongue hard, the sting was like a needle prick, and his mind cleared up.

"Since the incident happened two days ago, and even Rouran's detailed work has been reported twice, why didn't Zhencheng and Shu (organizations under the jurisdiction of the town, similar to counties under the state) Chengcheng not send a single word?"

"It should have been intercepted... According to the details, it was less than two hundred miles from the outside of the town to Linhe (a county under the jurisdiction of Gaoque Shu). I just escaped, and two people were hit by arrows...so I think that before the attack on the city, the leading general had already made arrangements..."

"It must be Luo Jian!"

Lu Shikui slapped the top of the wall with a heavy palm, his eyes were as red as blood in an instant, and his whole body trembled, "Poor... big brother..."

Not even a messenger escaped, so Lu Yan's result is self-evident.

All kinds of plans, seeing success is imminent, suddenly turned into nothing?
Where is the problem...

What's even more hateful is: in order to meet Dou Ling, I rushed to Langshan with all my cronies, and there were not many confidantes left in the city.Two days have passed, and Linrong City (Gaoque Shucheng, similar to a county city) must have been occupied by Luo Jian.

Thinking of the concubine and concubine in the garrison city, Lu Shikui's heart ached like a knife.

"Second brother, look at the present first!"

Lu Xiao pointed to the lights in the river valley that were densely packed like stars, "Dou Ling is obviously setting up camp, and he probably has to retreat, so what should I do?"

"Wait!"

Lu Shikui gritted his teeth tightly, as if the word "wait" was squeezed out from between his teeth, "If Dou Ling retreats, I will retreat too!"

Where to go back?

Follow Dou Ling to herd sheep?
"If you are not of my race, your heart must be different. Dou leads the wolf's ambition, and with the two thousand soldiers under the command of the second brother, it is no doubt that he will go back to the desert with him..."

Not my race?

Lu Shikui suddenly felt a sense of absurdity.

It's ridiculous that Lu Xiao, it's only been a few years, and he already considers himself a Han Chinese?
He sighed secretly, and pointed to the south, "Why do you need to retreat to the desert? Just wait for the dawn, and go back to Bogulu..."

Lu Xiao was overjoyed: How could he forget Yu Jing from Bogulu Town in a moment of panic?

"Understood, let's send orders to organize the army and prepare food!"

"Bury those three Rouran meticulous work too, don't let the news out!"

"Brother, save..."

Lu Xiao responded, and suddenly a horn sounded from under the city.

Dou Ling is going to allocate camp?

Even if you want to leave, you should come to say hello, right?
Just thinking like this, the lights in the valley flickered, and dozens of torches moved forward quickly, as if they were rushing down the city.

Rouran's front camp is less than one mile away from Guancheng, and the fire dragon will arrive in no time.By the light of the fire, it could be seen that nearly a hundred horsemen were stationed about twenty feet below the city.

Riding on a horse, he approached the tower and shouted loudly: "There is Captain Guan (Jin Hao Guan Duwei) on the city, my lord, please meet me!"

My lord... Dou Ling?
This time the Du Lun tribe is really bound to win, is the tribe leader personally leading the army?

"Second brother, I don't know the purpose of the worm, so let me go!"

"Don't worry, Dou Ling has always been resourceful and not reckless. Even if he is unwilling, he will not kill me to vent his anger... Keep the city gates!"

After confessing, Lu Shikui hurried down the tower.

Lu Xiao was finally worried, and secretly ordered the guards to prepare the city crossbow.

Jinhaoguan was built on a high platform on the west slope of the valley without a moat.But the foundation is very high, two feet away from the river bed.The east gate points directly to the river valley, and there is a large slope about two feet wide to enter and exit.

The city gate was opened a crack, and Lu Shikui led a dozen guards down the high platform.

Seeing Lu Shikui, Dou Yue suddenly realized.

It can be said that Lu Yan didn't pay attention to it, otherwise he wouldn't have sent his brother who was the garrison of Gaoque at that time to come to support him.

No wonder the defenders of Gaoque Pass retreated so quickly, saying that they would give up the pass city, so they gave up the pass city?
Unfortunately, it fell short...

After walking about ten steps, Lu Shikui dismounted from his horse and bowed in the distance: "Master Dou Yue, please come here all right!"

Naturally, I'm fine, but you, the Lu Brothers, are afraid that you're going to lose your family.It also hurt me that Dou Ling almost returned without success...

Secretly annoyed, but Dou Yue didn't show it at all, and was about to confess to him that Lu Yan had failed, when he caught sight of Lu Shikui's pale face, and thought: "Even Lu Shijun has received an urgent report!"

Lu Shikui nodded, admitting it.

That would be easy to handle, and save me a lot of talking.

He pointed to the tower, and said in a cold voice: "Mr. Lu, this is the end of the matter, you have no choice: let go of Guancheng, and hand over the guards in Guanzhong to me. After that, you can either go south or flee north." , whatever you want..."

Lu Shikui was startled: "You want to enter the customs?"

Dou Yue laughed loudly: "Luo Jianbing only has three thousand soldiers, why can't I enter?"

……

The Creep Rider hasn't entered the customs yet?

At least not yet entered Jinhaoguan!

Otherwise, Wuyuan County is only more than a hundred miles away from Jinhao, and the county magistrate Li Yanqing should have heard the news long ago.

"Haha, God really helped me!"

Li Chengzhi smiled very unhappy, and while dismounting from the horse, he cupped his hands and said, "Uncle Shi, don't come here without any problems!"

When he called Shishu, he was naturally calling Li Shenjun.

Eight days ago, Li Chengzhi traveled to Xiazhou, and before he had time to have a feast with his brother-in-law Gao Meng, he suddenly received a message from Li Feng, claiming that he hadn't seen Yuan Yi for several days, and that there might be changes in Wo Ye.

He had no choice but to go north quickly, and hurriedly ordered Yuan Zhi to advance north to Qusou County (belonging to Shuofang County, Xiazhou) across the river from Woye.

At that time, Li Chengzhi had already set his sights on Wuyuan County, which was located in the town and city, and could be called the heart of Woye.

Only because the magistrate of Wuyuan County is Li Fu's youngest son Li Yanqing, Yuanxi's uncle.

At the time of the Yuanxi incident, he joined the army in Dingzhou, so he was not attached to the rebellion.

After being implicated by him, Li Yanqing was dismissed from office and sent to Hexi to serve as an army. If Li Chengzhi's grandfather Li Qi hadn't rescued him, he would have been almost killed by Gao Zhao.

Therefore, Li Yanqing has been greatly favored by Jingzhou.

After Li Chengzhi planned to sneak into Woye City, once he determined that the town had changed, he would urgently order Yuan Zhi to cross the Yellow River at night and move to Wuyuan County, about 150 miles north of Woye Town.

But the two had never met each other, but with just one letter from Li Chengzhi, how could Li Yanqing dare to believe it?

Li Chengzhi naturally thought of Li Shenjun, who was Gao Meng's long history.Like Li Yanqing, both of them and Li Shao are cousins, grandsons of a grandfather...

Li Shenjun was originally Yuan Yi's Situ Jijiu, who was also invited by the court. Because of his unscrupulous actions, he outspokenly hated Yuan Ke, and was almost sent to Xiazhou as a long history of Gao Meng.

Although they are not relatives, they are family friends. Moreover, with the relationship between Li Chengzhi and Li Shao, and the great kindness that his father and grandfather bestowed on Li Yanqing, Li Shenjun is also duty-bound...

If it weren't for Li Shenjun leading the way, it would be impossible for Yuan Zhi to be familiar with the road and dive across the Yellow River silently.It is even more impossible to hide soldiers in the heart of Woye Town without anyone noticing.

It was even Li Shenjun's credit that Yuan Qiao was able to block Rouran Xizuo and Lu Yan's exploration horses in the south of Wuyuan...

So this prayer is sincere...

"It was stated early on that you and I are about the same age, just call your brother, why do you have to let me grow up with you?"

Although Li Shenjun was laughing and cursing, he walked extremely fast, and firmly grasped Li Chengzhi's arms that were about to bow down.

A few months ago, the young man who was a little immature, just a grade-[-] warehouse official, is now a public servant?
Seeing a few strands of silver floating from under the felt hat, Li Shenjun's heart was shocked, and he couldn't help but sigh: "It really... turns white all night?"

"Haha... don't mention it!"

Li Chengzhi changed the topic with a smile, and saluted a slightly younger man behind Li Shenjun, "It's Uncle Yanqing!"

"Don't pay homage, or you will have to return the gift with me and the ninth brother, is it troublesome?"

Li Yanqing smiled, and supported Li Chengzhi's arm like Li Shenjun, "I'm only a few years older than you, if you don't mind it, just call me brother like the ninth brother!"

brother?

Isn't this lowering the father's seniority by one level out of thin air?
But the Yuan and Wei dynasties were sinicized not long ago, and etiquette is like a fig leaf, depending on where it is used.

Li Chengzhi obliged, and while chatting, boarded Wuyuan County with Li Shenjun and Li Yanqing.

After leaving Wuyuan County, about 150 miles to the north, is Jinhaoguan...

Originally, he thought that in case of chaos in Woye, Li Chengzhi and Gao Meng would be able to attack from both sides and catch Woye Town by surprise.Unexpectedly, Wuyuan became a nail between Lu Yan and Rouran by mistake.

This is called a wrong move, a crooked hit...

Li Chengzhi was secretly happy, and asked Yuan Qiao again: "Have you ever sent a scout to the north?"

"It has already been dispatched. He Bayun and Hu Lujin will each lead a team to investigate Jinhao Pass from the east and west. There will be Tangqi along the road to respond, but if there is something wrong, they will burn smoke to send a message... If they are close If there is no abnormality in the night, we will withdraw to Wuyuan..."

He Bayun?
Li Chengzhi gave birth to a trace of weirdness.

The Heba clan was originally a tribal chieftain of the Shule tribe. After his ancestors surrendered to the Yuan and Wei Dynasties, Emperor Taiwu granted him the title of title and moved to Beizhen.

And like He Bayun, when he reaches the age of ten, he has to go to Beijing to study in the Imperial College.It's called Royal Ender, but it's actually a proton.

It's also a coincidence!

Luo Jian rushed to Woye. The leader of one of the battalions was Hebaduba, a man from Longcheng County, who happened to be Hebayun's father...

Thinking about it this way, the father and son who hadn't seen each other for three or four years were reunited in advance.

With emotion in my heart, I heard Yuan Qiao's report: "In addition, in the past two days, the general has intercepted more than [-] probing horses sneaking towards Jinhao Pass, of which [-] are Rouran's secret agents, and there are more than [-] from them. Woye town and Gaoque garrison..."

Gaoque garrisons... Lu Shikui?
I thought of it a long time ago...

How could it be possible for Lu Yan to rebel without the help of his brother Lu Shikui, who is a compatriot of the first milk and who is the garrison of Gao Que?
Lu Shikui is Lu Yan's same mother and younger brother, and also one of Yuan Huan's cronies who have entrusted all the affairs of the town to Lu Yanhou for the past year.

The current garrison master of Gaoque (similar to the county guard), has jurisdiction over Linrong, Linhe County, and Sanfeng County, as well as the three passes of Jilu, Jinhao, and Gaoque, and governs Linrong.

It is precisely because of this that Lu Yan had a sudden idea, secretly contacted Du Lun's tribe, and lured him into the customs to rob him, so as to cause chaos in the six towns...

Li Yanqing said suspiciously: "A hundred miles to the west of Linrong City is Jiluguan. It is the key point connecting the north and south of Yinshan Mountain. The valley is wide and flat. It is also ruled by Lu Shikui, the garrison of Gaoque, but why did Lu Yan and Dou lead important houses?" Do you want to go as far as possible and enter from Gaoque?"

"Just because Jiluguan is too close to Xiazhou!"

Li Chengzhi said with a half-smile, "Inspector Gao (Gao Meng) is not easy to deal with. At this time, when there is a lot of turmoil, if he meddles in his own business and sends troops out to block Dou Yue's back road, Du Lun's troops Isn't there a back and forth?"

Gao Meng meddling in his own business?

With Li Chengzhi, the brother-in-law, there is no way to tell.

Up to now, no one has figured out how Li Chengzhi concluded that there must be chaos in Woye.

He can take one step ahead and rush the army to the heart of Wo Ye, so it is impossible to guarantee that he will be prepared, and then let Gao Meng take the Jilu Pass...

Li Yanqing and Li Shenjun looked at each other, both of them were puzzled.

After staring for a while, Li Chengzhi looked at the sky and calculated the time.

The sun is almost westward, and it will set down in half an hour at most.But if you walk faster, in about two hours, that is, around Haishi (nine o'clock in the evening), the army will be able to march to Dacheng County, which is about [-] miles to the northwest, and is ruled by Woye Garrison.

And Dacheng County is only fifty miles away from Jinhao Pass, and once the army arrives, it will cut off Rouran's road to the east.Even if Du Lun's troops entered the pass, they would be able to snatch the Gaoque garrison to the west, which has minimized the loss.

Just thinking like this, I accidentally saw a few riders coming from the north, and rushed to the bottom of the city in half a moment.

Li Chengzhi thought it was the commanding soldiers sent by the former army of Yuan Zhi, but when he was about a hundred steps away, he saw clearly that the cavalry was carrying the Tang flag on their backs.

Hu Lujin and He Bayun's scouts?
"Marshal, we found it... According to the herdsmen near the pass, there have been horse herds near the Jinhao River since the day before yesterday. I thought that some of the herds had crossed the border, and I was about to report to Guan Duwei. But in Guanzhong The official Jin ordered all the ministries under the pass to retreat ten miles...

Zhuang Shuai knew there was something wrong, so he led ten riders of us to pretend to be herdsmen, climb up Langshan from [-] miles east of Jinhaoguan, intending to sneak into the river valley.But after only about ten miles, I saw Rouran riding a horse... The commander of the building urgently ordered me to report to the commander: Rouran's army should be hiding in the valley..."

Hiding in the valley, are you not afraid of being made dumplings?

"Can you see Rouran's army outside the pass, or traces of marching troops?"

"Not ever!"

"Where are the defenders in Guanzhong?"

"Three meals a day can be seen rising from cooking smoke in the pass, so the guards should be in the pass...Because I didn't dare to go too far, I only explored the pass for about five miles, and I didn't see a horse..."

Repatriate herdsmen ten miles away?

I saw Rouran roaming horses outside the valley, but there were no scouts in the pass?
The Dulun part of the Guanzhong defenders in the valley is still waiting for Lu Yan's Guan defense map!

"Haha..." Li Chengzhi laughed.

"I originally thought that even if Lu Yan missed the appointment and did not send the defense plan to Jinhao, Du Lun's troops would definitely enter the customs overnight. Who would have imagined that Dou Ling waited for two days? I'm afraid I came too late what……

Opportunities cannot be lost, and they will never come again. Therefore, if I want to achieve great success, I can wait for work with ease.For the impoliteness, I hope you two Haihan."
