Chapter two hundred and twenty eight: test the enemy

Please remember the domain name of this site, or in: Piaotiansi.com

Let’s talk about the Meng Yao family, Li Qi and Young Master Qin, who were under house arrest, leading a large army to cross the gap in a mighty manner. As the evening approached, 100,000 troops were stationed early on the east bank of the Sishui River.

It was still dawn at this time, and Meng Yao sent two thousand men to Nanshan to cut bamboo and rattan, and ordered carpenters to build more than a hundred bamboo rafts in a row on the Sishui River at night. He was preparing to lead 5,000 soldiers to lead the enemy in the morning of the second day.

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++�

Not to mention, war is about to break out here in Hulao Pass, and another natural danger is 180 miles south of this one - Dongling Pass.

Dongling Pass is located between Xuchang and Dengfeng. It is an important transportation hub for traveling south and west. It has a barrier on its back and the Yinghe River circumference in the south. It has a natural momentum of "one man is at the pass, and ten thousand mans are invincible."

Wang Heng, the commander of Dongling Pass, was nearly forty years old, with a face in the national character, thick eyebrows and big eyes, and a tiger-back and bear-bear waist. He was the second place in the palace martial arts examination in the 15th year of Daxing. He inherited his father Wang Chongyu's career and was in charge of Dongling Pass for more than five years.

On the 15th day of August, Wang Heng, as a general guarding the pass, was unable to leave the pass to participate in the annual sacrificial ceremony. At this time, the royal family would issue a document on the next day to commend Dongling Pass.

At this time, the sun had set halfway up the mountain, and the clouds in the sky reflected by the red afterglow were dazzling and colorful, and the waves were rippling on the water surface of the Ying River.

Standing on the battlements, Wang Heng looked in Luoyang, wearing military uniform, and his heart was rippling like the water light on the Yinghe River behind him.

Almost a day has passed on August 16th. In previous years, Huang Wen had already arrived in a hurry of 600 miles, but this year it has not been seen.

As the general guarding the pass, he naturally paid attention to every move in the court. In the battle between King Long and the prince for the throne, he followed his father's brother-in-law Yao Luoyun, the general guarding the pass, and turned a blind eye to the matter outside the window, and was determined to guard Dongling Pass.

Later, when he heard the battle between King Long and the Crown Prince for the throne, he even involved the two generals Jinwu and Longhu who were guarding the city in Liaodong. All of these things were common in royal affairs throughout the ages, but they made him feel a little uneasy.

I always feel that some things will involve me, but this matter will come eventually. In the early morning of this day, the scout who rushed from Hulao Pass seemed to confirm what he was worried about.

It was his own uncle, a letter sent by Yao Luoyun, the general of the Hulao Guanyuan, who sent someone to the letter, saying that the world's first literary general had dismissed his position and appointed a confidant general, General Guo Yiren, who made his fortune in the desert and Gobi, took over the full power of the army.

The letter also said that he would come to guard Dongling Pass with two thousand personal soldiers in the early morning of the 16th. Although there was nothing revealed in the letter, Wang Heng still saw the strong sound of iron swords from it.

"General" A guard with a sword in his hand ran over and interrupted Wang Heng who was thinking, "I came back from the Mu family to collect information. In the past few days, there were suddenly many strange woodcutters in the southern foot of Songshan Mountain."

Wang Heng raised his head, and a strange look suddenly flashed across his tough face. As a soldier family, he has been influenced by various war anecdotes since he was a child, not to mention that he has been personally guarding the pass for nearly four or five years.

Dressing up a woodcutter? It’s better to dress up as a pilgrim who comes to fame as a pilgrimage. Although there has been no major war in Dongling Pass in the past few years, as an important business hub for going south and west, there are still some gangsters coming to rob. So Wang Heng was full of eyeliners in the Mu Family Club, and all the actions of those gangsters are as clear as the hand.

"Where did the bandits who escaped from this time? Have you ever found out?" Wang Heng asked lightly.

"It is not clear that the news from Mujiaji says that those woodcutters are different from the usual thieves. They have a good daily life and have never worried about the people. They just go out in and out in the mountains and sunset-"

"Oh—" Wang Heng frowned together, "This is a bit strange-"

"General, my subordinates also think they are unusual. What should they be looking for?" the soldier said with some cleverness.

"Then what do you think they are looking for?" Wang Heng saw that the soldier in front of him was quite opinionated and couldn't help asking.

The soldier lowered his head, pondered for a while, and then said to himself: "It seems that it is not appropriate to dress up the woodcutters to find things. Those woodcutters are well-trained and should be servants from wealthy families. But if that is the case, why should they dress up? Besides, there is a famous Shaolin Temple on Songshan Mountain, and people come and go. If they lose things, the hope of finding them is very slim - what will it be for?"

Wang Heng was very proud of his analysis and couldn't help but show his praise. It's rare that a little pawn can think of these things. If he trains a little, he will definitely become a rare talent.

"What are they looking for?" Wang Heng suddenly laughed, "You say they are well-trained, what can they find?"

"Oh—" the soldier nodded suddenly and said, "General, do you mean that they are the same as us, and are also soldiers? But why are they sneaky?" The soldier said this and then didn't understand.

"Hmph—not only is it just a fair reputation, it's our enemy." Wang Heng's eyes flashed in his heart, and he said in a deep voice, "If that's the case, it makes even more sense. What they should be looking for is a shortcut to steal the gate."

"What should we do, General?" The soldier couldn't help but exclaim when he heard this.

Wang Heng didn't care about the fuss of the soldier in front of him. He was thinking at the moment whether he should immediately bring the little guy in front of him as a personal soldier.

"What's your name? Which school belongs to?" Wang Heng asked kindly.

"Report to General, the young man named Gou Shengzi is on duty under Sun Jiawei." The soldier responded quietly with his eyebrows down.

"Would you like to come here?"

"Ah-really?" The dog leftover jumped up in surprise, "Little wish--"

"Okay, go back and prepare to move here, and then go to beat drums to warn us, and send us the consultation rooms of major schools to comfort the meeting."

"Yes, I'll follow the order." Gou Shengzi responded loudly and ran to beat the drum happily.

After a while, the big drums on the city tower made a dull loud noise. For a moment, the atmosphere on the city tower suddenly became tense.

"What happened?"

"Why are the drums beating? Is there something big happening?"

"I don't know, I'm resting?"

“…”

The chief and vice-chairmen whispered to the conference hall.

In the conference hall, Wang Henggao was in the position of commander and looked at the head and vice-chairmen who came in with a blue face. The Central Plains have been in peace for more than ten years, and Dongling Pass is another major transportation route that goes south and west. Various economic and trade exchanges have gradually faded the importance of Dongling Pass as a military fortress.

Now there are less than 2,000 soldiers guarding the Dongling Pass. Last night, Uncle Yao, the Hulao Pass, sent a message overnight, wasn't it just that he wanted to be very cautious and cautious.

"Everyone's school comfort" Wang Heng waited for them to sit down and inspected the emperor majesticly, "Refusing to report that a group of young people from the world will invade Dongling Pass within two days. Everyone knows that behind Dongling Pass are hundreds of thousands of unarmed people of the Sui Dynasty. In recent years, we have been favored by the emperor, but have no achievements. I think it is really ashamed. Now it is the time to serve the emperor. To protect the wife, children, and children behind you, you must do your best to protect Dongling."

"I am willing to be heartbroken, obey the general's orders, and serve the emperor." The major colonels stood up with a thrill of comfort and shouted in unison.

"Okay, that general will no longer ramble, just order it," Wang Heng said seriously, "Sun Jiawei, Lin Jiawei obeys the order."

"Subordinate"

"I ordered you to bring your troops and horses to the headquarters, with your feet, strong bows, arrows and crossbows to wait on the ancient road of Nanling, and catch all those people dressed up by me. If there is any abnormal movement, the arrows will burst out, and kill them will not be punished."

"yes--"

"Iron School's Comfort and Obey Order"

"Take your troops to the arsenal to get five thousand arrow feathers, strengthen patrols, and guard the city gates."

"Subordinates obey orders"

"Okay, everyone else will go down and prepare for their own duties," Wang Heng ordered neatly.

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++�

The sun finally set behind the mountain.

The world suddenly became darker, and the people who were attending the Mu family were sent back by the soldiers guarding the gate early.

Just as the city gate was about to slowly close, a sudden sound of horse hooves sounded outside Dongling Pass.

"Let's close the door slowly, the border reports--" A long and bright voice came from a distance.

As soon as he finished speaking, more than a dozen fat horses rushed over at lightning. On the horse's back, they were all full of energy, and they suddenly seemed to be rushing back from the border.

If it were in the past, these soldiers guarding the pass might have put down the suspension bridge and checked it casually, but today General Wang had just ordered everyone to enter and exit with official certificates.

"I'll be the general name, otherwise the bow and arrow will be eyeless." The Iron School on the city tower stood up straight like a javelin.

The horses finally finished one step. The moat is more than three meters wide, and no matter how good the horse is, it cannot jump over, not to mention that the city gate is tightly closed at this time.

"Xi Yuyu--" More than a dozen horses squirted their noses and stopped in unison.

"Who dares to stop me from my military master?" The leader held a hammer in both hands, with high bronze eyes, an iron tower-like body, and a black and fluffy chest. He was shouting angrily in a muffled voice.

"Yaoying actually asked about the comfort of our school." The railway school comforted him and said, "Where is the black bear coming from? Is there an official certificate?"

"Little Wangba Cake, his grandmother, don't talk nonsense. Put down the suspension bridge quickly and get angry with Jun Ye. Jun Ye smashes you into meat paste with one hammer." The black bear shouted like a thunder.

Perhaps because of the black bear being scolded, the iron school comforted her face and pulled it down, shouting at the guards behind her: "Bow and arrow are ready to shoot his mother's dead black bear. Our school comforts her mother's or not."...
