Two hundred and seventieth chapters, Linmen

Tantaihu understood that the battle was difficult to win, he spat and scolded: "The dog and thief are cunning and cunning, and they use such inferior means!"

Shao Chengbi was unmoved by the scolding, looked at Tantai Hu, and continued: "The soldiers follow you to fight, entrusting their lives to you. You have no chance of winning now, and stubborn resistance will put the safety of the soldiers at risk. Tantai Hu, this old man and your eldest brother are old acquaintances, let me advise you once more to abandon the darkness and turn to the light as soon as possible.”

"Fuck your motherfuckers," Tantai Hu stood up with his sword, and said coldly, "I followed Fu Jun to fight against the Biansha cavalry, but when I came to the end, I wanted to surrender to you, bah! I, Tantai Hu, can't bend this waist. "

As soon as he finished speaking, Xu Yu heard a whistling arrow from the top of the watchtower. The whistle pierced through the night, especially harsh. Xu Yu early heard that the Zhongboma Road was smooth and there were many post stations, and guessed that Tantaihu was sending news.

Xu Yu immediately persuaded: "The Governor, it's not too late, make a quick decision!"

"You want to meet each other in battle, but we treat each other with kindness." Shao Chengbi held the handle of the knife, "Catch the thief, capture the king, kill the Tantai Tiger, and win without a fight tonight."

The Yinluo capital army had already swarmed in, and the garrison army was powerless to resist and could only flee in embarrassment. Yu Xiaozai saw that Tantai Tiger's solitary palm could hardly sing, and he was about to be surrounded by a heavy siege, when he suddenly heard a few partridge calls from outside the camp.

Partridge?

Where did the partridge from Zhongbo come from?

It was too late to say it, but at the moment when Shao Chengbi pulled out a new knife, Yu Xiao hugged his head again and shouted, "Tiger, get out!"

Tantai Hu originally didn't want to roll, but the moment he was about to jump forward, his knee suddenly hurt, and his whole body fell with a "thump". His face was on the ground, and before he could get on his feet, he heard the military tent beside him collapse with a bang, smashing the army in front of him.

Trebuchet!

Tantaihu subconsciously thought that the Biansha cavalry was coming, but he thought about it, his face brightened, and he said, "Forbidden army!"

Using the firelight, Xu Yu watched the soldiers pouring out from the east of the camp, and couldn't help but secretly said that the sound was terrible. The fire outside the camp suddenly flourished, and the forbidden army brought all the trebuchets in the Ibaraki armament depot. They waited for a long time, and it is logical to fight the capital tonight. In an instant, the situation was reversed, and Shao Chengbi wanted to retreat, but the retreat in the rear had been cut off. Xu Yu said to Shao Chengbi, "Governor, I'm waiting!"

The collapsed military tent knocked over the torches, and Mars suddenly jumped high. There were only a few hundred light cavalry in the capital army, and when Empress Cang was retreating, they bumped into the forbidden army who was touching her back.

When Tantaihu saw the forbidden army, it was as if he had seen his own mother. He stood up with support and said happily, "My mother's Qiao Tianya!"

When Shao Chengbi heard the name, she turned her head in the firelight, a few strands of white hair fell from her slightly loose bun, blocking his blindness. His vaguely raised back was not burly, like an abrupt sloping mountain in the night.

"Shao Bo." Qiao Tianya's hand holding the knife slipped and placed it on the hilt of the sword that could not be easily pulled out. He paused for a moment, "—Master."

The past that appeared in an instant, and instantly melted into the long night. Qiao Tianya worshipped Shao Chengbi at the age of four, and the sword he left Qidu was also a gift from Shao Chengbi.

Shao Chengbi didn't have a sword, so he slowly pulled out the brand-new sword, looked at Qiao Tianya and said hoarsely, "The traitor should be punished."

Huo Lingyun galloped in Xingye, he passed through the thick grass, and rushed to Dengzhou. He raised his waist card at the bottom of the city and shouted, "Open the door!"

The hanging gate of Dengzhou slammed down, Huo Lingyun ran across the passage, turned over and dismounted, and then hurried up the city wall. He snatched the torch from the side, drove away the darkness in front of him, and shone in front of him while breathing heavily. The rising mountains of Tian Fei Que were silent in the lacquer night, and the Qidong garrison mentioned in the emergency newspaper disappeared.

Huo Lingyun asked the defending general, "Is there any movement in Wolf Yantai?"

The defender replied, "Everything is as before."

Huo Lingyun's back got wet from running on the road. He wiped the sweat from his face, returned the torch to the defender, and said, "Be on guard."

* * *

Clouds cover the moon, stars wither, and good things are fleeting. When the swords collided with sparks, Shao Chengbi fell off the horse and the outcome was decided. His sword was broken, and his friendship with Qiao Tianya was also broken. The camp was ignited by the collapsed and overwhelmed torches, and the footsteps of the army were messy. They were not opponents of the forbidden army who were good at foot combat.

Shao Chengbi is not Qiao Tianya's opponent either.

Qiao Tianya and Shao Chengbi were only a few steps away. His sword was sheathed in the firelight, and his body was covered by a chaotic and overlapping phantom. In a trance, he looked a little like Shao Chengbi who had just drawn the sword.

"We will lose this battle," Qiao Tianya said softly in the burning sound of "pop", "Master is not here to attack me."

Shao Chengbi covered her chest, unable to continue breathing. His pale lips moved: "I'm so old...I'll never be brave again...I'm here to see you...Your father did something wrong..." Shao Chengbi tried her best to widen her eyes, looking at the blurred sky, "...I also did something wrong... In this battle... I paid off the debt for your father... Shen... lived up to the master... Yan..."

Qiao Tianya looked at Shao Chengbi.

Shao Chengbi refused to look at Qiao Tianya. His hoarse voice was like a broken drum. As he was dying, he murmured, "Qiao Songyue, good son."

Qiao Tianya clenched the hilt of his sword and stood still in the flying ash, letting the dust fall, his shoulders full of embarrassment. On the day he went to Shao's house for apprenticeship, Shao Chengbi patted the top of his hair and said, "Qiao Songyue, good son".

The Tantaihu dragged his body, whistled at Qiao Tianya, and threw the copper fire gun that had just been captured.

"Except for the dozen or so equipped with the light cavalry," Tantai Hu said strangely, "the rest are all bad."

Qi Zhuyin stood in front of the beacon tower in Tian Fei Que, overlooking the winding mountains. This night was like a rising tide, trapping not only her but also Qidong. She has stood here alone countless times, watching the five counties.

Seeing that her back was lonely, Qi Wei couldn't help calling: "Master..."

In this call, Qi Zhuyin thought of the conversation she had with Hua Xiangyi before leaving.

Hua Xiangyi sat opposite, the white flowers on her temples were hidden in the crows, as if floating on the surface of clear water. She was cooking tea and said, "Qie Du is so urgent, it seems that success or failure is all in one fell swoop."

Qi Zhuyin watched her making tea, and her daughter's slender hand held the sand pot. The strange thing is that as long as Hua Xiangyi is there, the disputes outside seem to disappear, and she can always remind Qi Zhuyin of the fun of rouge.

"I saw your army ready to go, so I wanted to have another cup of tea with you."

"Send off the tea?" Qi Zhuyin asked.

Boiling water was poured on the tea leaves, and the trickle filled with white air.

Hua Xiangyi said, "Keep the tea."

The atmosphere was slightly condensed, Qi Zhuyin supported her knees, intending to get up.

"The commander sent troops to stop Shen Zechuan from advancing westward, let him stay in Zhongbo, and not fight with the Li family. But I think the commander's move is just stealing the bell, which is not beneficial to the people," Hua Xiangyi pushed the tea lightly. Going to the other end of the small case, looking at Qi Zhuyin, "It also deviated from the original intention of the commander."

Qi Zhuyin stopped.

The blue window screen reflects the banana leaves, blocking a little sunlight, making Hua Xiangyi sit like a painting, she said to Qi Zhuyin: "Qidu is short of food, and the eight cities are empty. You refuse to follow Xiao Chiye to the east because of diligence. Soldiers suffer the common people. But what is the difference between you helping the Li family today and being diligent in soldiers?"

"The family's cage has been broken, and it is time to swallow sand and sand," Qi Zhuyin said frankly, "Da Zhou still has a chance to turn around, but when Shen Zechuan's troops enter the capital, this chance will be gone."

Hua Xiangyi said, "I know the accounts of the Eight Cities best. The opportunity the commander said was not the opportunity of the Great Zhou and the people of the world, but the opportunity of the Empress."

Qi Zhuyin was slightly stunned.

"Li's orthodoxy has long since broken with Li Jianheng, and now she is sitting facing up. I don't know who she is. When my aunt was alive, it was often said that Li Jianting looked like Emperor Guangcheng, but Xue Xiuzhuo said she was the daughter of King Qin. There is a saying that is true, if this woman is really from the blood of the King of Qin, why doesn't Xue Xiuzhuo show the King of Qin's treasure? Since he is so sure, why not convince everyone in the world?"

When Emperor Xiande was still on the throne, he called Hua Xiangyi "the third sister", and everything he used was arranged according to the rules of the princess. Li Jianheng had to call her "sister" respectfully, and Li Jianting should call her aunt. Now that the Queen Mother has passed away, if anyone in this world can prove Li Jianting's identity, it is Hua Xiangyi.

Hua Xiangyi continued to say softly, "If the empress is not righteous, how can the marshal be loyal?"

Qi Zhuyin held the teacup, the tea surface rippled, and said, "If she can find stability for the people of the world, I will help her, and I will be loyal."

"In this case, instead of helping Li Jianting, the commander should help Shen Zechuan." Hua Xiangyi finally showed her edge in soft words, but changed her name, "Ayin, you have a relationship with Xiao Jiming and Lu Guangbai. There is an old friendship between the top and bottom, you help Li Jianting, these two must face you with swords, this is one of them; Shen Zechuan and Xiao Chiye are in charge of the northeast military and political affairs, if you attack Dengzhou, Shen Zechuan's retreat is small, and Xiao Chiye's defeat is Great. The expedition is hard. Without Shen Zechuan, the 90,000 iron cavalry will definitely be defeated. When the Biansha cavalry makes a comeback, the people of the three eastern borders will still be threatened. Your loyalty today is to make the people of the three borders who have been looking forward to suffer again. It's the second one; Li Jianting awarded you the title of 'Donglie King', not because of gratitude, but because of the situation. As the saying goes, the water overflows and the moon overflows, but if you really pacify Zhongbo, when the capital is settled, Qidong's military exploits are brilliant, and If there is no Libei to restrain each other, then she can force you to be the king today due to the situation, and she can also force you to get rid of you, the king of different surnames, because of the situation in the future. This is the third; Yao Wenyu belongs to Shen Zechuan, and Tan Feng shocked the world's sages. , Shen Zechuan not only reused Yu Xiaozai, the old minister of the capital, but also promoted Gao Zhongxiong, the old enemy of the enemy. He did not take his family and past as his own opinion, and led his staff to push the Yellow Book. In just one year, he has eliminated the bandits in China and Bo, and created the world. Liangshu. He is so generous in Zhongbo, and when he enters the capital, he can also accommodate capable people in the court, which is the fourth."

Hua Xiangyi gently supported the white flowers by the side of her temple, and said slowly, "All of the above, what Li Jianting can do, Shen Zechuan can do, but what Shen Zechuan can do, Li Jianting may not be able to do."

These four remonstrances are reasonable and reasonable, just like a blow to the head, breaking Qi Zhuyin's loyalty.

However this is not enough.

Hua Xiangyi's slender fingers lining her ears against Dongzhu's ear, her brows were haggard, and her expression became somewhat depressed. She spoke slowly, neither hurried nor slow, and said, "Ayin, Elder Ge once said, 'Writing to the death, admonishing to the dead, fighting to the death,' but you see, how many people can die properly in the past 20 years? Cheng wants to support his own son to be the emperor, but the people in the world will not let him. It is not loyalty to the Li family, but the Han family has lost his virtue and is not worthy of his position. There are endless disputes inside and outside the week, and it is not Li Jianting who can really end it all. Shen Zechuanxing It is the hope of all the people in the world that the people get the Dao." She slowly raised her eyes and looked at Qi Zhuyin, as if she was looking at the Dinghaishenzhen, which determines the rise and fall of the world, with both admiration and distress, "Today, the life and death of the people are decided. between your thoughts."

The tea was misty and scattered among the panes.

Qi Zhuyin, who had been thinking for a long time, asked Qi Wei: "A hundred years from now, will anyone still remember Qi Zhuyin?"

"Remember," Qi Wei suddenly choked up and said, "The commander's move has made tens of thousands of people all over the world. From then on, the people live in peace, and the great cause is pending... Who would not remember Qi Zhuyin."

"My name cannot be entered into history, my cards cannot be confessed, and I violate the ancestral teachings of Qi's family. I am a traitor of the Great Zhou Dynasty." Qi Zhuyin looked at the mountains and rivers.

Qi Wei knelt down with his sword in hand, and said, "The commander has a hundred years, if I'm still here, I'll make an offering for the commander; if I'm not here, I'll let my son, my grandson, and my family light that lantern for the commander from generation to generation. "

Qi Zhuyin looked back and smiled: "So, I'm worth it."

Dan City is close to the capital city, and the courtiers in the capital city are all hanging on their hearts, the Mingli Hall is bright, and the side hall is also full of people. When the military report arrived, everyone listened intently.

Li Jianting asked, "How is the battle?"

"Report to the emperor," said the officer kneeling in front of the door, sweating and panting, "The 20,000-strong army fell into the rebels' trick, and the governor fell into a tight siege—"

"Where's King Donglie?" Kong Qiu stood up.

The officer wiped away his sweat and replied, "The news that King Donglie sent troops was a forgery, and the 300,000 garrison troops in Qidong did not move at all!"

The tea cup in Cen Yu's hand "dang" to the ground, and the side hall suddenly became noisy, and all the eunuchs and maids present panicked.

Xue Xiuzhuo said, "What about the rest of the capital?"

"Call back now!" Chen Zhen reacted quickly, took one step ahead, and said anxiously, "Return the remaining capital to Qidu immediately!"

"Wait a minute," Xue Xiuzhuo said suddenly, he looked at the officer, and said solemnly, "When the capital army is returning, fire cards are issued to the three borders of Juexi, Hezhou and Huaizhou, and it is said that the rise and fall of the world is at this moment. Those who send troops to help the capital will be rewarded by the imperial court with a reward of one million taels!"

One million taels, there must be a brave man under the heavy gold.

Xue Xiuzhuo had already been cornered, the riots in Huaizhou did not stop, and there were still bandits in Hezhou. His move was to hang the key of the Xi's bank at the gate of the city of Qidu - Shen Zechuan did not help the Northern Iron Cavalry, not invincible in the world, At this moment, whoever can turn the tide, whoever can become the next noble duke of Da Zhou!
