world festival

Yang Xingmi reached out to take the letter, checked that the seal on the letter was not damaged, opened it for a closer look, and his expression changed drastically.Later Yuan Xi asked, "I don't know what urgent report General Tian has."

Yang Xingmi replied in a low voice: "There is nothing important, just call the generals to discuss it tomorrow."

Yuan Xi sighed: "If it's not an important matter, why do you have to call all the generals to discuss it, so that the king should not care about a certain illness, and the military situation is more important."

Yang Xingmi had no choice but to hand over the letter to Yuan Xi. Yuan Xizai read the letter carefully several times but was speechless. After a while, he said: "It seems that the situation has changed. To crusade against Yisheng Jiedu envoy Dong Chang, this Qian Miao and others have a deep hatred, and their talent is ten times better than Dong Chang. Gu Chengwu is a good general under his command, but he is not strong enough. If he is allowed to annex Dong Chang, Huainan will be destroyed. There must be a big problem behind. Tomorrow, we have to attack Shouzhou by force and return to the army to help Dong Chang." At this point, Yuan Xi's throat was sweet, his mouth was full of blood, and he fell backwards.Yang Xingmi quickly hugged Yuan Xi and called for the doctor to come.But he felt Yuan Xi grabbing his arm vigorously, and said in a low voice: "Tian Langzi is ambitious. To rescue Dong Chang, don't let him sit big, so that his tail won't fall off."

The next day, in the tent of the Central Army in Huainan, there were many generals, and Yang Xingmi's face seemed to be covered with frost. After reading Tian's letter, the generals below quarreled. Fighting to eat up the two families, some said they would go all out to capture Shouzhou and then deal with Qian Miao. With a relaxed face, he looked at everyone with a smile on his face, but Li Shenfu still had that expressionless expression on his face.As time went by, the generals below became more and more quarreling, and some impatient ones even fought each other with fists and kicks.He suddenly heard a shout of "Presumptuousness!" All the people in the tent fell silent, but they saw Li Shenfu's face livid, "Your envoy is so rude in front of you, how is it proper?" ,: "It's not a solution to argue like this, let's go out first, and the four of you, Li Shenfu, An Renyi, Liu Wei, and Zhu Yanshou, will stay."

All the generals were leaving one after another, but Lu Fang walked behind Zhu Yanshou and whispered something in his ear. At first, Zhu Yanshou's face was quite impatient, with a perfunctory look on his face, and his eyes widened after hearing a few words , nodded unconsciously, and after listening to it, his livid face was already smug, and he patted Lu Fang's shoulder with a smile, and whispered a few words before walking to his seat.An Renyi saw this scene from the side, with a thoughtful expression on his face.

After the generals left, Yang Xingmi said: "There were too many people just now, now it's just you guys, what should we do in this situation?"

Among the generals, Li Shenfu was the leader regardless of his position and meritorious service. He was not modest, and said in a low voice: "Shouzhou is the gateway to Huainan, and it is imperative to take it. I think that General An should be sent to Xuanzhou with the cavalry and the headquarters first. In addition, the Xuanzhou Headquarters can also contain Qian Miao, and the attack here will be stepped up immediately. Anyway, the siege equipment has already been made, and the weakness of Shouzhou City has already been found out. After Shouzhou is defeated, the army can go south."

Yang Xingmi nodded, "I discussed with Yuan Junshi last night and planned to do the same. What good ideas do you guys have?"

Zhu Yanshou was about to speak, but An Renyi tugged at the corner of his clothes, and then whispered a few words in his ear, Zhu Yanshou's expression changed drastically, and he gritted his teeth and nodded.

Liu Wei was talking about agreeing to Li Shenfu's plan, when he saw the two men having a small meeting, Yang Xingmi said displeasedly: "Everyone present here is brothers, so why not say it openly."

An Renyi smiled and said: "I just asked if Brother Zhu and I thought of going together, but I didn't expect that they coincided with each other."

Yang Xingmi's face was full of disbelief, and Zhu Yanshou next to him hurriedly said, "Brother-in-law, yes, it wasn't someone's idea, it was presented by Lu Fang, the general in Haozhou. Didn't Lu Fang have a thousand soldiers under his command?" The morale of the soldiers is very unstable, Tian sent a letter today, there are changes in the south, why don't you follow the plan, like this..." Zhu Yanshou explained it clearly, and everyone nodded after hearing it, Li Shenfu He laughed and said: "This Lu Fang is really powerful, and he used this trick of surrendering again. It seems that even if his subordinates really surrendered in the future, no one would dare to accept it. Anyway, at most he would lose more than a hundred surrendered soldiers. You might as well give it a try. "

At night, the Moyedu military camp was silent except for the sound of snoring. After a day of physical work during the day, a thousand strong men were exhausted and fell asleep almost with hay on the ground. Since ten days ago After everyone gathered to besiege Commander Lu, although the participants were fined to work for an extra hour, no one was tortured or killed because of this. Not only did the four people pushed out as scapegoats not lose their heads, listen to them Said that Commander Lu and they were stirring spoons in the same pot, grabbing steamed buns on the same plate, and promised to get them another food. Everyone's impression of the short-haired Commander Lu immediately improved. It is very practical, if the officials can lead them to win battles, have enough food, and pay enough, if they can give them more rewards, then they will be good officials.The man surnamed Lu made a fool of everyone in Haozhou, and even hung the governor's head on the city gate, but except for the Qingzhou soldiers at the east gate, not many people died, and there was no deep hatred.Besides, soldiers never tire of deceit, and it is hateful to be deceived by him, but now it is a pleasure to serve as a soldier under him, to deceive opponents, the brothers will shed less blood, and the hope of survival is much greater, no one wants to serve as a soldier under an honest man Besides, I heard that the Huainan army originally planned to kill everyone, but he escaped with his pleading, and he has to accept his love.As for the others, they all look pretty good. They don't dare to think about salary and rewards these days, at least they are full.But the thing you eat is as round as a yam, and the taste is passable. What kind of potato is it called?

Wang Xu was sore all over. He had dug the mud all day, and in his dream he could not feel that he had arms. The Huainan soldiers seemed to be building a brick kiln. They evenly mixed the dug out soil and made them into mud balls. Then put them in the fire to roast them, making them busy, as if they were still mixing mud in their dreams.Suddenly there was a pain in my leg. I opened my mouth to shout, but was covered by someone. When I opened my eyes, I saw a dark face next to me, and I couldn't tell who it was. I heard the person whispering in my ear: "Don't panic, a It's the team from the third team who is scarred and wants to discuss something with you."

Wang Xu was startled, turned around and opened the tent, and took a closer look under the moonlight. The man had a face with Chinese characters, and a scar stretched from his left forehead to his right cheek. It was very hideous under the moonlight. He was the team member of the third team. It is Luo Anqiong.The surrounding crowd stirred up, forming a faint circle, keeping others out.Wang Xu thought to himself: "This Luo Scarface is originally a "Cai thief".

Luo Anqiong saw that Wang Xu had woken up and said straight to the point: "Deputy Wang, I'm looking for you tonight for nothing else, but for how to get out of the Huainan army together and go to Shouzhou."

Wang Xu secretly suspected that Luo Anqiong was originally a famous warrior in Caizhou's surrender army, and that day he followed Long Twelve into Lu Fang's tent. Although he did not see anything unusual after he came out, Lu Fang was extremely treacherous. Could it be that this person is going to commit that trick again?"

Luo Anqiong saw Wang Xu groaning for a while but didn't speak, so she knew she was suspicious of him, and said with a wry smile: "It was true that Lu Fang was good to XX in the account that day, and XX also decided to work for him, but a few days ago XX and a few brothers At night, he secretly went out to get some wild food, but when he came back, he was caught by Heiyundu's 'Yebuyan'. Fortunately, the leader was a fellow villager when he was under Qin Zongquan's command. He secretly told some two news. One is that The younger brother who accompanied Sun Ru to the south did not die at that time, but later died in the hands of Lu Fang when he was escorting the caravan with the captain Wang Qinian." At this point, Luo Anqiong paused, and whispered close to Wang Xu: "The Huainan army is about to withdraw. , it is said that Qian Miao, the commander of the capitals of Zhejiang and Zhejiang, has sent troops to attack Dong Chang, the Yisheng Jiedu envoy who established himself as the emperor. Qian Miao has always been known as a hero, and he is far superior to Dong Chang. Zhou has been surrounded for a long time, and the Huainan army will go south to attack Hangzhou and annex the land of Wuyue."

There seemed to be a swarm of hornets buzzing in Wang Xu's mind. Although he resented Lu Fang's plan to destroy Haozhou and hurt many brothers in his camp, but as An Renyi said that night, in today's troubled times, there is nothing powerful and powerful. Needless to say, what Lu Fang did was nothing, not to mention that after the city was broken, he begged to spare the lives of his soldiers, and he wanted to accept his love. Later, he repeatedly contradicted him and embarrassed him, but he didn't think that Thoughtful, resourceful, and magnanimous, even though it's hard to accept emotionally, I have already admitted that the other party is my superior, but now that Luo Anqiong is going to betray Lu Fang, my heart is in chaos, I don't know what to say .

Several people next to Wang Xu also heard Luo Anqiong's words, and they were all ecstatic. Their Qingzhou soldiers were not like Long Shier and Luo Anqiong's caizhou soldiers. Their families, wives and children were all under the jurisdiction of Xuanwu Town. In Shouzhou, unless the Huainan army goes north to occupy the states of Henan and Shandong, the chance of reuniting with my family, wife and children is almost zero.If it weren't for the fear that the Shouzhou defenders would not trust him, and the surrendered soldiers were almost all Caizhou soldiers, they would not be at peace on weekdays, and they would have defected from the camp to Shouzhou City long ago.After listening to Luo Anqiong's words today, I don't know why Captain Wang hesitated.Looking at the pleading and puzzled eyes of his brothers, Wang Xu's heart was like a mess, and after a while, he replied in a low voice: "Alright, I contact a trusted brother to prepare some, and wait until the Huainan army starts to retreat." Make a plan, this matter is important, don't let the lives of the brothers be lost in vain."

Na Luo Anqiong said in a low voice: "That's natural, but even if the Huainan army doesn't retreat, someone will find a chance to take Lu Fang's life. A certain family's wife has not been heard from since childhood during the Huangchao Rebellion, and there is only this younger brother." , but died at his hands." At this point, his eyes were fierce, the muscles on his face twitched, the scar seemed to be alive, and his whole body was like a ferocious beast that wanted to eat people. Several Qingzhou soldiers around Can't help but move your body away from him.
