A rough man covered his chest and pretended to be frightened. This disgusting look almost made Xu Xian vomit out the dinner he had just eaten, but Bai Yanyu refused to leave and continued to talk to Xu Xian.

Xu Xian yawned impatiently and said, "Speak directly if you have anything to say, otherwise I will go to sleep."

Bai Yanyu stretched out his hand to hold Xu Xian, "Don't leave, Dianzhi. I really have something to discuss with you. I finally got a job as the vanguard of the army, and Dianzhi doesn't want to make any contributions."

"Look at what you said. Merit is not a fruit that grows on a tree and can be picked by me at will. Even if I did achieve merit, I would not be able to rise to a high official position at my age and still make people jealous."

"It seems that Dian Zhi is still aggrieved because he won a battle in Longyou but was not rewarded!"

"You also know about this? You inquired about me clearly enough!"

"No need to ask, who doesn't know that Wang Jing has taken advantage of the emperor's favor? It is indeed unfair that your majesty did not give you a reward, but your majesty also has more trust in you. This southern expedition also asked you to take on such an important errand. If

If I make some achievements, I still worry that I won't be promoted to a higher position."

"I think you want to be promoted to a higher position. If you have any ideas, let me know!"

"There is a Guangzhou City on the border between the two countries. It is said to be a small state but it is actually very small. This Guangzhou City is isolated in the Zhou Dynasty and is difficult to attack and difficult to defend. If you and I start the war as the vanguard and capture this city, wouldn't it be a great achievement?"

Xu Xian really wanted to ask him to pour a basin of cold water on him, and asked him if he had watched too many blockbusters.

"Even if it's a small city, it's not something that you and I, with more than 3,000 troops, can take down."

"I heard that the soldiers under Dutou are good at climbing the city wall. It's better to take advantage of them when they are unprepared at night..."

"No!" Xu Xian shouted: "I will never dye my official robe red with my brother's blood. You are a greedy lunatic. I should stay away from you."

Xu Xian returned to the tent and had a good night's sleep. When he woke up, it was already bright. He stretched his neck outside the tent and looked to see that it was already three o'clock in the morning. He saw Luo Fubang lying on the grass in front of the tent. "It's already so late, you guys?"

Why didn't you call me?"

Luo Fubang turned around and said, "Are you awake? It was the man named Bai who said you were working hard and wouldn't let you be called!"

"He would be so kind!" Xu Xian came out of the tent, untied his pants outside the tent and poured water, "Why do I see that we have fewer people!"

Luo Fubang said casually: "They are all going to attack Guangzhou!"

"What!" Xu Xian shivered and almost didn't wet his pants. He closed the water gate and grabbed Luo Fubang's collar, "Who told them to attack Guangzhou!"

Luo Fubang looked puzzled, "Didn't you two discuss it last night?"

"When did I discuss this with him?"

"When we were having dinner this morning, the man named Bai said that he had agreed with you to attack Guangzhou. He would lead the light cavalry in front and you would lead the infantry behind. He also said how prosperous Guangzhou is and how beautiful the women in Jiangnan are, brother.

They were all itching to hear it, and as soon as he said hello, they followed him and left first!"

Seeing Xu Xian getting more and more ugly, Luo Fubang seemed to realize something, "Isn't that what you were talking about last night? That beard is really fucking bad!"

"It's not that he is too bad, it's that you are too stupid! Although Guangzhou is under the rule of the Tang Dynasty, it is north of the Huaihe River. How can a small border town be so prosperous, and there are no Jiangnan beauties! You are usually the most passionate, but this time you are calm?"

Luo Fubang gathered his energy and said, "I knew this bearded man had bad intentions and wanted to destroy our Tang Dynasty. Come on, let's go after him!"

It must be said that Bai Yanyu was very good at deceiving him. He deceived half of the thousands of people in Red Scarf. He also brought hundreds of soldiers under his command, and the rest were all lost to Xu Xian.

It wasn't that Xu Xian didn't want to bring his cavalry to chase Bai Yanyu, but the remaining infantry were leaderless and he couldn't guarantee whether they would run away. He chased them all the way quickly, and after three days of walking quickly, he finally met a patrolling patrol at the border between the two countries.

Dakui.

Dakui saw Xu Xian and smiled and said: "Dianzhi, why are you here just now? We will go to Guangzhou City one day later, hehe..."

Xu Xian wanted to tear his big mouth apart, "Idiot, you are helping people count the money after someone sells it. Where is Bai Yanyu?"

"Behind the slope in front, I will take you to find him."

Xu Xian followed Dakui to the back of a relatively secluded slope. He saw a tent set up here and many wooden frames made of branches on the ground. There were actually whole sheep strung on them. They were shiny and translucent, and they were far away.

I smell the aroma of meat.

Bai Yanyu had a bit of black ash on his face, and he slowly turned a wooden stick. When he saw Xu Xian, he greeted him: "Dian Zhi, come and eat roast mutton!"

As he spoke, he cut off a piece of mutton with a knife and put it on a leaf and handed it to Xu Xian. He said that he would not hit the smiling person. Xu Xian, who had not eaten anything decent for three days, felt the excitement in his belly after seeing the delicious food.

Most of the anger has disappeared.

"You think you can bribe me with a piece of mutton. You're really looking down on me! You're acting on your own initiative. I'll report to the commander to ensure that you can't eat anything and carry you around."

"You are lax in your command. Half of the men and horses in your hands were coaxed away by me with just a few words, and you won't get any good results. Now we are grasshoppers on a rope... Oh, hurry up, perm

It’s killing me.”

"I won't go with you to attack Guangzhou City!" Xu Xian borrowed the mutton and took a bite. It was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and his mouth was full of oil.

"It's up to you, as long as they follow." Bai Yanyu pointed to the four circles, "They all want to go to Guangzhou to steal money and women. Even nine cows can't drag them back."

"That's all, they brought it upon themselves to die in battle!"

Xu Xian knows very well who his subordinates are. Although they have received the militarized education of later generations, they are not much different from those military masters in essence. They are extremely greedy for money and lustful, otherwise they would not be treated with just a few words.

Fool and run.

"By the way, you have been sending people to report to the Chinese army these days, right?"

Xu Xian nodded and said, "Well, as we were reporting, Li Shuai still thought he was only fifty miles away from them."

"After you finish eating, take a quick rest and we'll do it tonight!"

More than 3,000 people rested behind this slope all afternoon. When it got dark, they crossed the border and entered the territory of the Southern Tang Dynasty, taking advantage of the darkness to attack Guangzhou, which was more than 20 miles away.

They encountered two checkpoints along the way, both of which were secretly surrounded by soldiers from the Red Scarf Capital. The Tang troops among them were either killed or captured, and none of them escaped. When they arrived outside Guangzhou City, it was already the middle of the moon. Xu Xian

I breathed a sigh of relief when I saw Gwangju Castle under the moonlight. Not to mention the low walls of Gwangju Castle, there wasn’t even a moat, and there were no soldiers patrolling the walls.

He and Bai Yanyu sneaked under the city wall with two hundred people. The rogue gently turned the flying claw on the rope but did not throw it away. Xu Xian cursed softly: "Is your hand cramped?"

"Don't worry, sir. Look, there is a cloud next to the moon. It's not too late to do anything until it covers the moon."

"How much progress have you made!"

After waiting for about half a stick of incense, dark clouds covered the bright moon, and the night became much darker.

The scorpion threw its flying claw towards the city wall, only to hear a clanking sound. The scorpion slowly pulled back the rope. When it could no longer be pulled, he pulled the rope and reached the city wall in the blink of an eye.

Bai Yanyu clicked his tongue and praised: "It's really well-deserved, this hand is not even a bit stronger than mine."

Xiaozi and Bai Yanyu are two extremes. Xu Xian said in a doubtful tone: "Could it be that you are very skilled?"

"Don't think you are the only one who can climb the wall. I personally led a night raid on Zhenzhou City and opened the city gate. Otherwise, Du Chongwei's eggless thing could easily defeat An Chongrong."

Xiaozi untied a large bundle of ropes from his waist and tied them to the parapet to hang down. He put five ropes in a row before stopping.

Bai Yanyu stretched out his hand to grab one and said to his soldiers: "Show the brothers in front of the palace what we are capable of!"

The soldier grabbed the rope with both hands, stepped on the city wall with both feet, and climbed up step by step, his movements a little stiff and funny.

"These are the brothers who attacked Zhenzhou with me at night. Now there are only a few dozen left, and all of them are good fighters. They are all older than me, and they will never have the chance to fight such a battle again.

If I can make a fortune this time and make some more achievements, I can go home and retire."

"Isn't that why you came to attack Gwangju?"

"Hehe... Exactly, the last time we fought in Yanzhou, I asked for a battle to attack the late emperor but he refused, leaving the good thing to others. By the time I entered the city, those bastards had already robbed the Jiedu Envoy's mansion and the treasury.

.I don’t dare to rob the common people. Now that I’m in an enemy country, I don’t have to worry about it.”

"Uh... I'm telling you that I was the one who attacked Yanzhou last time."

More than two hundred people climbed up to the city wall, held long guns in their hands, and walked slowly towards the city tower. Last time in Huanghua Valley, Xu Xian led his men to charge into battle, and finally realized the benefits of long weapons, and spent five hundred guns on them.

I found someone to make a good gun, but Gen Bai Yanyu's long weapon is simply rubbish.

What this guy is using is actually a horse spear, which is called a sword-shaped eight-sided diamond-shaped spear. It is simple and vigorous. Just by looking at the shape, you can tell that it is a rare magic weapon. There is no comparison with the one in Lao Zhang's family. It is just too long.

I guessed it was about a foot long. Bai Yanyu was walking in front alone with his hands clasped at the waist, saying that if he turned around and started to fight, he wouldn't be able to move away.

The torches on the city tower were bright, and more than a dozen Tang soldiers were wrapped in blankets and hugging each other, sleeping soundly under the porch. Bai Yanyu turned around and said: "Slow down and don't scare them. Go directly to open the city gate."

Bai Yanyu led his men down the city slowly along the waiting horse road, while Xu Xian and his men stared at the sleeping Tang soldiers under the porch, and shot them as soon as they woke up.

Suddenly, I heard the sound of water rushing under the city wall, and then I heard a surprised voice whispering, "Who are you... uh!"

What responded to him was a sharp sword and a thunderous roar, "Brothers, fight with me!"

Xu Xian's head couldn't help but wonder how many people had to be woken up by this voice. The Tang soldiers who were sleeping soundly on the tower woke up immediately. They panicked and drew their knives and looked for guns. Before they could react, Xu Xian waved his hand and said, "Shoot."

!" The divine arm crossbow made a buzzing sound, and more than ten Tang soldiers fell in response.

"Dakui, you guys have guarded this place. If we can't open the city gate, this horse road to the city is our retreat!" Xu Xian gave an order and rushed to the horse road with his gun in hand.

Looking down, I saw that Bai Yanyu had led his men to rush to the bottom of the city. The Tang soldiers guarding the city gate were already charging at him with their guns drawn. There were also disheveled Tang soldiers from the Tibetan Soldier Cave nearby who came out to check, and then they didn't even wear armor.

He rushed out with a gun.

Xu Xian had heard in the army that many enemy troops surrendered neatly after touching the city defenders. He had experienced it himself. He did not expect that the Southern Tang army did not surrender or panic when encountering a sneak attack.

Instead of running away, he picked up weapons and fought, which shows that he has a strong sense of combat.

In fact, he did not know that the relationship between the Southern Tang Dynasty and the Central Plains Dynasty has always been one of invasion and invasion. The Khitans often crossed the border to the Central Plains to hunt grass valleys, and the Central Plains Dynasty also crossed the border to the richer Southern Tang Dynasty to farm grass valleys.

Especially when Zhu Wen conquered Yang Xingmi and robbed hundreds of thousands of cattle in Huainan. Those were cattle. In this era of backward productivity, robbing other people's cattle is not much different from killing one's father and taking his wife. As time goes by,

There has long been a deep hatred between the two regions between the country and the family.

Rather than saying that the Tang army has a strong will to fight, it is better to say that it has a deep hatred for the Central Plains dynasty. The most humane thing about a unified dynasty is that people of the same clan do not need to hate each other and kill each other.
