Back to the prosperous Tang Dynasty to be the emperor

Chapter 443 Breaking Out and Walking (3)

As soon as Shen Shi passed, the sun had already set in the west. Although the mountain had not yet set, it seemed that it was only a few feet away from the distant mountain peak. Sha Wanli's troops, who had fought fiercely for half a day, were already exhausted, but still had to cheer up and patrol outside the forest. This kind of hardship was really not so easy to endure, although due to the situation, no one dared to protest loudly , but the whispered complaints never stopped, and many of them blamed the incompetence of the two heads of the family, Sha Wanli and Huyan Tiexin, and the so-called morale of the army has long since disappeared.

"Brother, this is not going to work. Brothers can't take it anymore. Grandma, those bastard sons don't treat us brothers as human beings at all. Damn it, why don't we take the opportunity to leave? The grassland is so big, why not?" I can't go anywhere, but I want to suffer from that grandson's bird, it's so boring!"

Not to mention that the bandits were full of resentment, even Huyan Tiexin, the second leader, couldn't bear it any longer, so he rode his horse to Sha Wanli's side, and suggested in a low voice.

"This...Second brother, just bear with it, alas, bear with it will pass."

Speaking of "Grandson Sun", Sha Wanli was also full of resentment, but when he thought of the controlled family in his lair, Sha Wanli's resentment turned into depression—since Sun Quanfu led others to rescue him. After Sha Wanli and others were escorted to Beijing, they put forward the request to join the gang. Sha Wanli didn't think about it at the beginning, and easily agreed to Sun Quanfu's request, but he never expected that Sun Quanfu would be able to pull him up in less than half a year. An extremely powerful team, the strength of which is several times that of Sha Wanli, and there are countless masters among them. Completely under the control of Sun Quanfu, it's not that he never thought of rebelling or parting ways, but Sun Quanfu was more ruthless than him, and he controlled Sha Wanli and others' family members early on. When he thought of the safety of his wife and children, no matter how much Sha Wanli had Unwilling, but only in vain.

"Brother, how long will this last, oh..."

Huyan Tiexin is alone, and he has no family problems. It is really easy for him to leave, but he is reluctant to leave Sha Wanli, who has a life-long friendship. Seeing that Sha Wanli is so reluctant, he knows that he is worried about the old camp The family members here could only helplessly shake their heads and sigh.

"Sun Gong has an order: You will immediately cut down logs to make a pile for the campfire. Make a pile every thirty feet, and the height of each pile should not be less than one foot. Be sure to surround the outer edge of the forest!"

Huyan Tiexin's sigh hadn't stopped yet, but he saw Yiqi suddenly running over from the rear of the main formation, and shouted loudly at Sha Wanli and the others.

"What? Logging, let people live?"

"Fart, your grandma's, how do you cut down so many logs?"

"Damn it, play tricks on me!"

This dense forest is in the shape of a trapezoid, and the front end is not very wide, but no matter how you calculate it, it is about a hundred feet. If you really want to follow this order, you need to set up four campfires to be enough. This is not a lot of work. Xiao, when the bandits who were already full of resentment heard it, they all exploded immediately, and no matter how ugly Sha Wanli's face was, they cursed loudly in disorder.

"That's enough, get off my horse and go logging, who dares to talk nonsense, behead!"

Sha Wanli has always been a rebellious person, so he was also so angry by this order that he wanted to resist, but when he thought of his wife and children in the old camp, all his dissatisfaction immediately turned into helplessness. All the subordinates were making a fuss, their faces drooped immediately, they drew out the horizontal knife at their waist, slashed heavily, and roared, forcefully silenced the protests of the gang of thieves.

"Very well, you are smart!"

The soldier who came to pass the order didn't pay much attention to the so-called "big master" Sha Wanli, snorted coldly, left a disdainful word, turned his horse's head and ran back to the main formation.

"Dog, I will kill you!"

Seeing that the little soldier who came to deliver the order was so arrogant, Huyan Tiexin was really angry, he pulled out the horizontal knife from his waist, shook the horse's rein, and planned to kill someone.

"Second brother, don't be reckless!"

Sha Wanli was taken aback by Huyan Tiexin's actions, he stretched out his hand in haste, grabbed Huyan Tiexin's arm, and hurriedly spoke and stopped.

"Brother, oh..."

After Huyan Tiexin gave a cry unwillingly, he sighed helplessly, and with a shake of his hand, he put the horizontal knife back into its sheath, and with a dark face, he didn't say a word again.

"Why the fuck are you standing still, get off the horse and go cut wood for me!"

Seeing that the second-in-command had no choice but to get the rampant messenger soldier, all the bandits were all discouraged, each with a sad face, bowed their heads and remained speechless. Once this happened, Sha Wanli immediately became angry. Da Qi waved the horsewhip in his hand violently, and shouted and cursed angrily. Seeing this, the bandits, although unwilling, had no choice but to get off their horses helplessly, scrambling to cut wood without mentioning it.

"Second brother, there is something that needs to be done by the elder brother, but I don't know if the second brother will dare to do it?"

Seeing that his subordinates had lost dozens of people after the previous battle, Sha Wanli's heart immediately ached badly, and seeing the dejected looks of all the bandits, a chord in Sha Wanli's heart Already trembling wildly, a stern light flashed quickly in his eyes, he rode his horse to the side of the sullen Huyan Tiexin, and asked in a low voice.

"Elder brother has something to say, just tell me, younger brother will take care of it."

Although Huyan Tiexin had never recovered from his rage, but it was not easy to brush Sha Wanli's face, so he just replied dully.

"Okay, second brother, listen carefully..."

Sha Wanli walked around quickly, and saw that all the bandits under his command had dispersed, so he pressed close to Huyan Tiexin's ear, and began to give orders, until Huyan Tiexin's complexion changed wildly. ... "His Royal Highness, I got a little thief who came to spy."

It was getting dark, and Li Xian, who had recharged his batteries, was preparing to call Liu and Zhang, two of his confidantes, to discuss the matter of breaking out of the siege, but he saw the team leader Xiao Sanlang hurried over, bowed his body, and hurriedly spoke report.

"Chopped!"

Most of the enemy's situation that Li Xian should know had been clear from Liu Liu's mouth, so he didn't bother to interrogate the little thieves, so he waved his hand and gave the order without exception.

"This...Your Highness, that man claims to have an urgent military situation to report."

Hearing what Li Xian said, Xiao Sanlang was taken aback for a moment, and then hurriedly explained.

"Oh? Then bring it up."

The puzzled expression on Li Xian's face flashed across, but he didn't express much, he just raised his eyebrows and ordered calmly.

"promise!"

Now that Li Xian had given the order, Xiao Sanlang didn't dare to delay, he hastily responded, and hastily turned into the dense forest again, and within a few moments, escorted a group of people with two personal guards who were in charge of security A burly man turned back again.

"Huyan Iron Heart?"

Li Xian's memory is excellent, and he recognized the origin of the man with his hands bound at a glance, and the curiosity in his eyes suddenly became stronger.

"The villain has urgent military information to report to His Highness, please ask His Highness for more information."

Huyan Tiexin obviously didn't expect Li Xian to recognize him at the first sight, and he couldn't help being taken aback. Then, a look of excitement flashed across his dark face. Obviously, in his opinion, being able to be recognized For heroes like Li Xian, it is something to be proud of for the rest of their lives, but Hu Yan Tiexin didn't dare to talk nonsense, and hurriedly said something.

"Untie!"

For Huyan Tiexin, Li Xian still has a bit of love for him, not because of his martial arts, but because he cherishes his toughness and loyalty. He had a bit of love for him during the battle in the outskirts of Longzhou. Xin, it's just that the military situation is urgent at the back, and I don't have time to pay attention to other matters, so I missed it. Seeing that he dared to come to see him alone, he would not make things difficult for him, so he ordered him to relax tie.

"Thank you, Your Highness, the villain was entrusted by my elder brother to come here to plead guilty to His Highness, and disturbed His Highness twice and three times. He deserves death. However, this was not my brother's original intention. It was a forced and helpless act. Today, the grandson bullied my brothers too much, it is unbearable, my brother wanted to fight back, but the family is in his hands, but it is useless, if your highness can send someone to rescue my family, villain I am willing to follow His Highness to fight in all directions."

Although Huyan Tiexin came from a bandit, what he said was quite organized, and there was nothing wrong with his dictionaries. He didn't look like a bandit, but rather had the bearing of a literati, which really surprised Li Xian a little. of.

"Huyan's second master has studied my Han family's classics?"

Li Xian didn't rush to answer Huyan Tiexin's request, but raised his eyebrows and asked curiously.

"Returning to Your Highness, the villain was poor since he was a child. Later, he met a Taoist priest and served him as a servant for several years. Apart from spears and horses, he also learned some literature. He can read a little, but he is not very good."

Huyan Tiexin was obviously very proud of his ability to write, and when he answered Li Xian's words, although his words were respectful, his face was filled with a bit of complacency.

"Well, since you can know books, why do you follow thieves?"

Li Xian nodded calmly, then changed the subject and asked a sharp question.

"So..." Hearing Li Xian's question, Huyan Tiexin's face turned red instantly, then darkened again, and sighed, "So that His Highness can know that the villainous master returned to the vulgar after death. , I thought I had a bit of martial arts, so I became a chivalrous man, but unexpectedly, after a few years of walking in the rivers and lakes, I offended the people in the government, was framed and thrown into a prison, and became a body waiting to die, and was rescued by my elder brother Thanks to his kindness, he joined the 'Black Wind Pirates', which made His Highness laugh."

"That's how it is. Gu can tell you the truth, and your family members can help you out. However, Gu has two conditions. First, all the 'Black Wind Pirates' descending from Shawanli must lay down their weapons for Citizens, if anyone wants to join the army, apply for the examination according to the military law. Starting as an ordinary soldier, would you like to do it?" Li Xian didn't want to go around in circles, so he set out the conditions straightforwardly.

"This...His Royal Highness Haihan, this matter is not for the villain to decide, and let the villain report back to his brother before going back and forth with His Highness to find out."

Li Xian's words have been made very clear, which means that in the entire "Black Wind Pirates", Li Xian only needs Huyan Tiexin, and as for the rest, including Sha Wanli, Li Xian doesn't look down on them. Hu Yan Tiexin was both excited and terrified by the meaning of valuing it, he really didn't dare to agree easily, he could only respond respectfully.

"Okay, Huyan's second head can do whatever he wants."

Li Xian has a certain love for Huyan Tiexin, but he pays far less attention to him than Tuoba Shanye. It just means that there is nothing to do. The left and right conditions have been given, and if you agree or not, Li Xian I didn't take it very seriously.

"Thank you, Your Highness, for your generosity. The villain still has something to report. The grandson told me to cut wood and use it as a bonfire. Presumably, he intends to trap His Highness here. Although my brothers are not talented, we are somewhat confident in escorting His Highness away. Please wait a moment, Your Highness." , Let the villain go to discuss with the elder brother and then talk to His Highness." Hu Yan Tiexin saluted respectfully, briefly reported the general's situation, and then left in a hurry.

Light a bonfire?What does that old dog Sun Quanfu want to do?Li Xian didn't care about Huyan Tiexin's departure, but frowned and thought about it—in terms of military strength, although Sun Quanfu has an absolute advantage, but if he wants to rely on such an advantage to win in the jungle battle, he obviously doesn't have that Perhaps, the root of this point can be known from the previous confrontation. As for forcing one's own side to die by siege, it is a big joke. In such a large forest, there is no shortage of wild animals, and it is not difficult to survive for half a year. In other words, Sun Quanfu's stalking must have another purpose, which may be related to Pei Shoude's actions in Lanzhou!

"Assemble, prepare to break out!"

Thinking of Pei Shoude's actions, Li Xian's heart tightened involuntarily, and he didn't dare to delay any longer, so he raised his hand and shouted, the guards who had been on standby for a long time immediately started to act after hearing the order .
