Chapter 139 [Dark Letter]
The three-rider, Wind Rider, surrounded the man and galloped to the lake, and stopped the horse. Chen Fei turned over and ran over, bowed and said, "Fifth Young Master, Commander Zhu, when we were patrolling, he saw this person. He said he wanted to see our chief general, and said he had an urgent matter to report!"
Zhu Xiaoyan frowned and looked at Han Mo and said, "We are secretly in our whereabouts, how did he know?"
Han Mo said: "Xiao Zhu, do you know that every country has a group of talents who are good at tracking. Even if you only leave a little clue, they may find it according to the trail. What we have left behind is more than clues?"
After he finished speaking, he said to Chen Fei: "Let him come here!"
Chen Fei took the order and went over to signal the man to come. The man also got off the horse and walked slowly. Although his clothes were thick, his steps were very light.
Zhu Xiaoyan walked aside calmly and did not participate in their conversation.
When he walked to Han Mo, the man raised his head, lifted his hat slightly, revealing a pale face, but it was Zhuifeng beside Xiao Lingzhi. When he saw Han Mo looking at him quietly, he seemed a little surprised and said, "You... are their chief general?"
Han Mo said with Youran: "Do you think I don't look like me?"
Zhuifeng turned around and looked at the Fengqi Knight on the shore, showing a look of disbelief: "Young Master Han led these hundreds of people to open the door of Ligu Pass?"
Han Mo said lightly: "It seems that your lady still trusts you very much, you know a lot."
Zhuifeng's eyes showed admiration and said, "Young Master Han, there are not many people who Zhuifeng admires. Now it seems that you are one."
"That's really a honor for Han Mo." Han Mo smiled faintly and said, "What's wrong with you coming to me?"
Zhuifeng immediately said seriously: "Young Master Han should take your subordinates away from here as soon as possible."
“Why?”
"There are two thousand people searching for you, and there are also people who are good at tracking skills among them. You should be able to find this place soon." Zhuifeng looked grim.
Han Mo's eyes became cold: "From what you mean, it seems that those two thousand people are coming to deal with us? Are they from the Ye family, or from your Xiao family?"
"My surname is not Xiao." Zhuifeng said: "But those two thousand people are the most elite members of the Xiao family. They are trained and well-equipped. Because of this, General Xiao has always been reluctant to send them to attack Ligu Pass. I see that although Young Master Han's men are brave and good at fighting, they are all exhausted. If they really encounter them, they will be in trouble."
Han Mo frowned. Of course, he knew that the Wind Cavalry crossed the Ligu Mountains overnight, broke seven checkpoints in succession, and even fought at Ligu Pass. Even if the people were hit, they would be exhausted. If the elite soldiers of the Xiao family came, they might not be able to resist it.
He was even more angry. Unexpectedly, before the Ye and Wu families were killed, the Xiao family began to fight against ghosts and even sent troops to surround and kill the temporary alliance.
The Xiao family's heart is so vicious.
"Is this what your lady asked you to remind us?" Han Mo stared at Zhuifeng and asked, "Didn't she betray her family?"
Zhuifeng said lightly: "Miss said that she owes you a favor. If you return this favor to you, you will not owe each other." He hugged and said: "What should I do? Please consider it yourself and Zhuifeng will say goodbye!"
He turned around and left, got on his horse and whipped, and the horse galloped away, and soon disappeared.
"We don't need to fight with them." Zhu Xiaoyan turned around and said lightly.
Han Mo sneered: "Xiao Huaijin sent someone to surround us. I think I already know his mind. He wanted to snatch the merits of the pass. Only by killing us will we die without evidence. In the chaos, our unknown cavalry team was killed by them, and there may not be anyone to investigate."
Zhu Xiaoyan looked calm and asked, "Since you know what he is thinking, you should know how to do it!"
"This is the credit for the brothers' blood. I, Han Mo, can't let it go, but I can't let them down." Han Mo said coldly, with murderous intent flashing in his eyes. He walked back to the shore quickly and said in a deep voice: "Get on the horse and go to Hanye City!"
The wind rider moved quickly. With Han Mo's order, everyone got on the horse in a blink of an eye.
Han Mo waved his hand and rushed in front of him first. Hundreds of wind cavalry followed closely and rushed towards Hanye City.
At this time, we naturally could not return to Ligu Pass and go back to Donghai County. Two thousand members of the Xiao family were coming here. If they returned, they would most likely bump into each other.
Although he was not afraid of the two thousand people, Han Mo did not want to let the exhausted wind cavalry fall into another dangerous battle.
As long as we go to Hanye City and join the army of the aristocratic family, no matter how capable the Xiao family is, they will not dare to blatantly attack Fengqi.
Han Mo had a profound understanding of the essence of the saying "A gentleman is not too late for ten years to take revenge."
...
...
Hanye City, only more than 300 miles away from Ligu Pass, is the largest city in Bozhou County.
The luxurious mansion covering hundreds of acres in the city is the mansion of the Ye family and the old nest of the entire Ye family. At this time, the Ye family mansion seemed quite shocked, because just after getting the news, Ligu Pass was broken, and the aristocratic army attacked Hanye City like a tide, and it was invincible along the way. Many people who were harshly ruled by the Ye family even arrested the Ye family members scattered in various counties and prepped them to the aristocratic army.
According to the spies, the aristocratic army can arrive at the city of Hanye at dusk at the latest.
No one in the Ye family thought that the aristocratic army would come so quickly, and he did not expect that the Ligu Pass, which could last at least one month in the strategic plan, would be broken in less than three days.
Hanyecheng had to prepare for the war in a hurry, but his morale was extremely low.
The news that the aristocratic army broke through Ligu Pass spread in Hanye City for some reason. The entire Hanye City was like a blowout, in extreme fear.
When the Ye family rebelled, the Ye family members naturally could not escape the encirclement and suppression. The people in the city knew very well that once Han Ye City was captured, the aristocratic army would not show mercy to their subordinates.
Ye Wuxun, the head of the Ye family, who had just celebrated his fiftieth birthday three months ago, was sitting in the lobby of the main hall, with a gloomy face and indescribable terrifying.
In the hall, all the important figures of the Ye family were present, and they also received news that Ligu Pass was broken, the main general Ye Wuya was shot and killed, Ye Tianmeng, the number one general of the Ye family, was killed, and Ye Geng also died in the chaos.
All situations are completely different from their strategic ideas before the rebellion.
Everyone looked anxious, and the entire lobby was filled with noise. Several elders of the Ye family were even more excited. Even saying that the Ye family was facing the danger of extermination, the meaning of the words was obviously to blame Ye Wuxun for launching the rebellion.
Ye Wuxun slapped the table and shouted loudly: "They are not here yet, you will not die in a while!"
The sect leader was furious, and everyone immediately calmed down. Although he was in danger of extermination, the sect leader still held the power of life and death. If he got angry, he might be in trouble.
The sect leader was capricious and bloodthirsty, and he was not sure how many people died at his hands.
Just on the table next to Ye Wuxun, there was a sharp sword. It was Ye Wuxun’s most cherished toy, but if you kill someone, this toy is definitely enough.
"How did you break through Ligu Pass?" Ye Wuxun had a blue face and couldn't believe it: "How did those pigs do their brains? Xiao Huaijin has this ability?"
Of course he had already received news that it was said that a cavalry team of less than a thousand people broke through the army of tens of thousands of people, rushed to the bottom of the gate, killing people and snatching the door.
But he didn't believe it, he didn't believe that such absurd thing happened.
Where did the cavalry team with less than a thousand people come from? He knew the military strength of the entire Bozhou County, and every army was firmly controlled by the Ye family. Could this so-called cavalry team with less than a thousand people fall from the sky?
Until now, he felt that this information was inaccurate.
Ye Wuxun's eldest son Ye Miao immediately came out and said, "Father, the spy rewarded him, saying it was a cavalry team with less than a thousand people..."
Before he finished speaking, Ye Wuxun shouted: "Farting, how can you get close to Ligu Pass? It's ridiculous. Have the spies' heads been cut off? They lied about military information and sent someone to cut off their little family together."
Everyone looked horrified, and no one dared to say anything.
"How did those four dogs connect together? They have been fighting openly and secretly for many years, but why did they reach a tacit understanding this time?" Ye Wuxun slapped the table, making a thud with an angry look on his face: "How can a mediocre person like Xiao Huaijin let the four families work together?"
A prestigious elder plucked up his courage: "The most urgent task of the sect leader is to find a way to retreat to the enemy. The aristocratic army arrives as soon as possible, and we must not sit still and wait for death."
"Okay, what good strategy do you have to get rid of the enemy?" Ye Wuxun asked with his beard blowing.
The elder still looked very calm and said, "Master, I have come up with three strategies..."
Ye Wuxun said anxiously: "Speak quickly, speak quickly!"
"The first strategy is that now the aristocratic army is advanced toward my Hanye City in four directions. They fought fiercely in Liguguan and were also blocked along the way. The soldiers must be exhausted and at the end of their crossbow. Our army is energetic and sends troops out of the city and ambush them all the way. When the aristocratic army arrives, they suddenly attack and catch them off guard. In this way, they will definitely defeat the aristocratic army. As long as they disintegrate, the other groups will hear the news, which will definitely affect the morale of the army. Maybe they will retreat...!" The elder offered his suggestion.
But before he finished speaking, Ye Wuxun sneered: "Great Elder, our army will leave the city, and the defenders in the city will become weaker. If we defeat the army, the other three aristocratic armies will not be panicked, but will also be very happy, because we will help them remove a force, they are afraid that they will thank us. Apart from the other three, if we come to Hanye City, will we still have the strength to defend the city?"
The elder seemed to think that this strategy had a big flaw, and sweated on his forehead, and said, "Previous strategies, we close the city gates and have the existing troops to guard Hanye City. When we have the chance, we will attack the city! In addition, we will send people to Lantian City and ask the Wu family to come quickly to rescue!"
"Do you think the Wu family will send someone?" Ye Wuxun's eyes showed anger: "They are facing the three coalition forces and are too busy to take care of themselves. How can they come to rescue us? Moreover, there are less than 20,000 troops in the city, how can they resist their attack?"
The elder wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "That can only be...one who can ask for peace!"
Ye Wuxun laughed and said, "Okay, this is a good plan. Great elder, you are highly respected, and those stupid pigs should also give you face. I'll ask you to go out of the city to welcome them and make peace with them. Once things are done, there will be many rewards!"
The elder was shocked, his whole body was weak, and his old legs almost couldn't hold on and fell down. He said in surprise: "Master, I... am old... this... this...!"
"Since you know you are old and still talk nonsense here?" Ye Wuxun scolded without giving the elders face, glanced at the crowded crowd in the lobby, and cursed coldly: "On weekdays, you know how to spend time and drink, with jewelry in your waist, hugged the women in your arms, and stepped on the untouchables. Now that it is time for life and death, what else can you do? A bunch of wine bags."
Everyone was trembling.
Originally, in the hearts of the Ye family, the large territory in the eastern part of Bozhou County was completely controlled by oneself. The vast land belonged to the six counties in the jurisdiction, regardless of the economic and military lifeline, was under the control of the Ye family.
The Ye family has rich land and mineral resources, so the Ye family should be the richest family in the entire Yan State, and the royal family may not be more luxurious than the Ye family.
This luxurious life has allowed the Ye family to develop a despicable personality, especially the central figures of the Ye family, who are mostly domineering and arrogant.
Compared with other families, the biggest problem of the Ye family is that the cohesion of the tribe members is much weaker. If there were not enough wealth to be distributed to the tribe members, the Ye family would have been in constant internal disputes.
The overall strategy was disrupted. What shocked the Ye family the most was that the people who were as gentle as lambs in various counties and places in the past, this time they were like stimulants, captured the Ye family members scattered in charge of local affairs in various places. Instead of organizing the expected defense line, they opened their doors. The family army was so powerful that they advanced all the way, and the resistance they encountered was minimal.
Only then did the Ye family realize that the prosperity and hegemony of the past were just falsehoods that were applied to the surface, and the hearts of the people of Bozhou County were far from that of the Ye family.
Everything was completely different from what they had imagined before their rebellion.
The tacit understanding of the aristocratic army, the defeat of Ligu Pass, and the rebellion of the people... All of these, no matter which one is a fatal blow to the Ye family.
The arrogance and domineeringness of the Ye family made them estimate their own strength over-high and the capabilities of the aristocratic army over-low. Most importantly, they lacked a famous general who could turn the situation around!
Ye Miao said again: "Father, my child has a plan, which is not the best way, but you can also try it!"
Ye Wuxun stared at Ye Miao and said, "You said."
"Father, we still have a group of black mice!" Ye Miao's eyes flashed and he said word by word.
