Chapter 2426: Gold and Silver Hammers vs. Golden Winged Dapeng (Part 1)

Disperse.

Kong Peng leaned on the city wall, looking up at the starry sky, but his heart was extremely confused.

At first, he was so angry that he forced his way out of the Kong family and committed a heinous crime.

After he calmed down, he could no longer look back. Brothers turned against each other, fellow clansmen hated each other, and Da Qin wanted him. He could only go further and further on the road of no return against Qin.

"well……"

Kong Peng let out a long sigh. If he had been calmer back then, would there have been another future?

"Third brother, why do you look like you are sighing? This is not like your style."

Wang Shi's hearty laughter came over.

Kong Peng glanced sideways and whispered the words that had been hidden in his heart for a year and a half.

"Brother, I'm sorry for making you and second brother naked. If it weren't for me, with your ability, you and second brother would definitely be reused no matter which country they were in."

Wang Shi was startled, then scratched his head and said indifferently: "What do I think it is? Between us brothers, there is no need to be a drag."

Upon hearing this, Kong Peng's heart suddenly surged with heat and he felt warm.

He had broken up with his brother and his family, and now there were only two sworn brothers left who treated him sincerely and would go through fire and water for him.

Kong Peng did not want Wang Shi and Wang Xiang to be put in danger because of himself, so he said: "Brother, as soon as daybreak, you and your second brother should leave Sanguan. Whether you go to Shu or Chu, you will be safe."

It is much safer than staying in Tang State."

As early as the end of the First Guanzhong War, the three Kong Peng brothers had planned to leave the Tang Kingdom and go elsewhere, but they were dissuaded by Li Shimin.

Under the continuous weakening of the Qin Dynasty, the Tang State had indeed weakened to several points, but one thing Kong Peng had to admit was that the number of powerful generals and famous commanders in the Tang State was something that no other country had.

Li Shimin, Li Yuanba, Yang Jian, Li Si, Li Mu...

They are all the top talents in the world.

Apart from national strength, only the Tang State could barely compete with Da Qin in terms of talent lineup.

Li Shimin did not force Kong Peng to stay. After all, with Kong Peng's strength, if he was really determined to leave, it would be absolutely impossible to force him to stay unless Li Yuanba and Yang Jian took action together, so force would definitely not be able to retain people.

Li Shimin made a gentleman's agreement with Kong Peng. He promised to change the current situation of Tang State within one or two years and make Tang State strong enough to protect itself. Therefore, he hoped that Kong Peng could give him some time and stay to see the situation of Tang State.

Change, if it fails, it is not too late to leave.

After listening to Li Shimin's words, Kong Peng hesitated again and again, but decided to stay for now. After all, if Li Shimin really failed, it would not be too late for him to leave.

Kong Peng had great hopes for Li Shimin, but a year and a half had passed, and the Tang State had not broken through the Qin blockade. Although its national strength had recovered a lot, its military strength was getting weaker and weaker.

Kong Peng saw everything that happened in the Tang Dynasty.

Obviously, Li Shimin failed. He alone could not save Li Tang, who was on the verge of destruction.

In the end, there was only half a year left, and it was impossible for the Tang State to become strong.

Therefore, according to the agreement, Kong Peng can leave at any time. If he continues to stay, he will be risking his life.

Kong Peng also wanted to take a gamble, and no one knew the outcome until the last moment, but he couldn't let his two sworn brothers stay with him in Tang to gamble their lives, so he wanted Wang Shi and Wang Xiang to leave first.

After Wang Shi heard Kong Peng's words, he was stunned.

"It's okay to leave when the time comes, but third brother, since you know it's dangerous to stay in the Tang Kingdom, why don't you leave with the eldest brother and the second brother?"

"That's because..."

Before Kong Peng finished speaking, he discovered that there was fire in the southeast, and the fire was getting bigger and bigger, and half of the sky was illuminated by the fire.

"No, something happened to Chen Cang."

Kong Peng exclaimed, Wang Xiang's face was extremely serious, and he said in a serious voice: "Third brother, there was a fire suddenly over there in Chencang. This must have been a sneak attack by the Qin army.

Da Qin went to war with Tang State."

Kong Peng's face also became extremely solemn, and he obviously knew what the news meant. He quickly sent someone to report to Li Siyuan, and at the same time summoned troops and horses to be ready to rescue Chen Cang at any time.

Kong Peng gathered his men and horses while observing the situation in Chencang. Not long after, he found a long dragon with torches approaching Sanguan at a fast speed, and his heart couldn't help but feel suspended.

Gradually, the long procession of torches got closer and closer, and the shouts of death became closer and closer, becoming clearer and clearer.

"Run quickly, the Qin army is coming to kill you."

"Chencang has been lost. We must retreat to Sanguan so that we can survive."

"Damn the Qin army, they went to war without declaring it."

"Don't kill me, I surrender..."

Kong Peng closed his eyes and listened to the noisy shouts, his face becoming increasingly ugly.

The Qin army really came to kill, but Chen Cang couldn't hold on for even a day. This was the worst news for Sanguan.

"Third brother, they are Chencang's defeated army. The Qin army is chasing them. Do you want to open the city gate and let them in?" Wang Shi asked in a deep voice.

After Kong Peng pondered for a moment, he shook his head and said, "What if it's Qin Jun pretending to be? Let's confirm our identity first."

Soon, the defeated army fled to Sanguan City. Sun Chongjin looked at the closed city gate, raised his head and shouted to the city: "Open the city gate quickly. I am Li Cunjin, the guard of Chencang. Chencang has been attacked by the Qin army. It has already happened."

It was breached, General Li Siben died in a fierce battle, and only a few of us escaped.

Open the city gate quickly, the Qin army is not far behind, if you wait any longer, once the Qin army catches up, it will be too late."

"That's right, General Li Cunjin. The soldiers below can also tell that they are all soldiers of our army."

After hearing this, Kong Peng nodded, believing that it was indeed Sun Chongjin who was under the city, but he still had some hesitation in his heart.

It's really unreasonable for Chencang to fall so quickly.

He was afraid that there were people from the Qin army among the remnants outside the city. After cautiously sensing his inner strength, he did not feel the strong fluctuations in his inner strength. The balance in his heart was gradually tilting, but he still did not open the city gate immediately. Instead,

asked:

"General Li, Chencang is a fortified city, how could it fall so quickly? You can't even call for help?"

Hearing this, Sun Chongjin said angrily: "There are spies of the Qin army in the city. Magistrate Ma also surrendered to the Qin army, saying that our army was unprepared and opened the city gate, so Chencang fell so quickly."

"I see, then..."

Kong Peng asked a few more questions, and Sun Chongjin answered them accurately, and most of the worries in his heart disappeared.

Seeing the Qin army's pursuit getting closer and closer, and the defeated army outside the city becoming more and more anxious and irritable, Kong Peng no longer hesitated and ordered: "Open the city gate and welcome General Li Cunjin into the city."

"promise."

squeak……

Sanguan City Gate was slowly opened, and just after a gap opened, Li Siyuan appeared at the top of the city and shouted: "Close the city gate quickly."

Kong Peng couldn't help but be startled when he heard this, and the soldiers who opened the door were also stunned, but they still chose to obey the guard's order and quickly prepared to close the city gate, but it was obviously too late.

After Li Siyuan shouted, two figures jumped out from the defeated army, one flying to the left and one to the right, and kicked the city gate with all their strength.

A huge impact struck, and all ten soldiers behind the city gate were shaken to the point of vomiting blood and flew backwards.

"Brother Yuanqing, long time no see, you have great skills."

"Ying Xiang, you are the same. You have made a lot of progress this time during the war against Japan."

"That's the Japanese country. No, it's Yingzhou now. There are still many strong people in Yingzhou."

Yingxiang is the cousin of Yue Yun.

These two people are Yue Yun and Pei Yuanqing.

Yue Yun and Pei Yuanqing were both strong men. After knocking away the soldiers behind the gate, they pushed with all their strength, one on the left and the other on the right. They actually pushed the thousand-jin city gate open with their strength.

While Yue Yun pushed with all his strength, he said with disdain: "The Sanguan city gate is actually a push-pull type. It's really backward."

Da Qin's current city gates have all been changed to lift-type gates. Opening and closing the gates is much more convenient than push-pull gates.

If the Sanguan City Gate had a lifting type, it would be impossible for even Li Yuanba to push it open, let alone Yue Yun and Pei Yuanqing.

"Stop talking nonsense and push it quickly."

Pei Yuanqing roared, and with a sudden force, the door was pushed open completely, and Yue Yun also pushed it open on the other side.

"The city gate has been fraudulently opened. Send a signal to General Gongsun quickly."

As he spoke, Sun Chongjin waved the sword in his hand and shouted: "Surge into Sanguan and seize the city gate."

"Kill..."

A thousand soldiers followed Sun Chongjin and poured into the pass.

call out……

A firework quickly rose into the sky and bloomed in the dark night.

Gongsun Xuanyuan was leading his army not far away. After seeing the fireworks, he was overjoyed and said: "My plan has come true. Let's move forward at full speed and seize Sanguan."

"promise."

Tens of thousands of Qin army cavalry roared in unison.
