More than a hundred people surrounded this small mound.
Pan Sheng said tremblingly: "Master, come out!"
"Why are you howling? I just touched the nobleman's bed. Hey! It is made of good wood! It looks like... it has been at least five hundred years. This is a nobleman of the Chen Kingdom! There must be a lot of good things."
"Master!" When Pan Sheng saw two Bei Liao sergeants approaching the entrance of the cave, he shouted: "We have guests!"
"guest?"
There was a rustling sound inside, and then a head poked out.
A long knife was placed on his neck from above.
The old thief remained motionless and said, "My lord, please spare my life."
Then he was dragged out.
"Your Majesty, please spare my life."
The old thief and Pan Cheng were lying on the ground with their hands tied.
The leader of the team all shouted and asked, "What are you two doing?"
The old thief shook his chin towards the cave, "The villain opens the door for the noble to ventilate."
"Open the door, my lord?"
"It's just that... the nobles will inevitably feel depressed after being buried for a long time. The villain's family has inherited it for many years, opening doors and windows for the nobles, and by the way... getting some rewards."
The scouts looked at each other, and one scout suddenly patted his thigh, "Isn't this a tomb robber?"
"Ha ha ha ha!"
They all kicked the old thief in the head and said, "The tomb robbers are so refreshing to you. People like you are best cut off and sent to the palace. I hope you can make the nobles in the palace happy."
"Yes!" The old thief smiled in apology.
"take away!"
The two old thieves were tied on horseback, and the rope ends were held in the hands of the scouts. They could not escape even if they wanted to.
"Master!" Pan Sheng looked at the old thief and wanted to cry but had no tears.
We've all talked about Bette's tomb robbing, but the old thief is happy to see it... Game enthusiasts in the other world are generally the same. When they see it, they naturally want to play a game.
Fortunately, the scouts wanted to catch him alive, otherwise they would just collapse the entrance of the cave, and the old thief would have to stay underground, with the noble person he never forgets.
"Danding." The old thief looked very calm.
The master was really calm, and Pan Sheng admired him deeply.
But he didn't see the old thief's hands trembling.
I'm totally wrong.
The old thief looked back at the tomb.
A standard tomb of a noble person from the Chen Kingdom should contain a lot of funerary objects.
He has found a piece of jade...
"It seems that the noble man is angry."
It's already afternoon now.
An hour later, Dutou ordered us to camp.
"Bring it here."
The two masters and apprentices, who were both carrying old thieves, naturally either had good intentions or wanted to torture and extract confessions.
"Do you know the Chenzhou Army in Linhe City?"
"I know!" The old thief didn't wait for him to ask again, and said: "Chen Zhoujun looks very fierce, and Yang Shijun is kinder, but the big men around him are so fierce that it scares the children to cry."
"How many troops did Yang Gou bring?"
"It seems like more than ten thousand, it seems... I have to think about it."
The old thief squatted on the ground, seemingly racking his brains, but now it was ten thousand three-four, and now it was ten thousand two-three. He patted his head in annoyance, "I was bored underground earlier, and my brain felt stuffy."
"Say it!" Du Tou turned to Pan Sheng.
"This disciple of the villain is a bit stupid." The old thief said: "If I didn't want him to support me in old age, I would have kicked him out of the disciples long ago."
Murderous intent flashed in Dutou's eyes, but knowing that he had killed Pan Sheng, the old thief would not despair.
"I was thinking a lot at night, and if I can't think of anything else tomorrow morning, I'll kill it and bake it to eat!"
The old thief and Pan Sheng were driven into a tent, and two scouts took turns sleeping and guarding them.
The two of them were lying in the corner, Pan Sheng choked with sobs... This was the old thief's suggestion.
"Stop howling!" A scout suddenly sat up and yelled.
"Yeah!" Pan Sheng huddled up and sobbed from time to time.
But the sound was much quieter.
The scout fell heavily and said, "If you scream again, I'll kill you!"
They are just two tomb robbers. Their bodies were searched cleanly, and their hands and feet were tied. How could they still make a big move... The other scout was sitting and taking a nap.
Snoring came and went.
Pan Sheng was lying on his side and saw his master starting to squirm.
The old thief's body gradually shrank.
Bone shrinking skill!
Pan Sheng's eyes lit up. He had always wanted to practice this secret skill, but the old thief said that only children can do it.
The old thief slowly sat up and untied the rope from his feet.
Pan Sheng looked at him eagerly.
The old thief ignored him and just squatted on the ground, tiptoeing over step by step. He looked extremely weird and terrifying.
A person is squatting and walking on tiptoes. At night, he can only see a short shadow moving.
Katcha!
The old thief broke the necks of the two thieves before untying Pan Sheng.
Pan Sheng pointed outside, "There are people patrolling the camp."
The way these scouts set up camp is clearly elite, and their vigilance at night is not meticulous, making it difficult to penetrate.
The old thief pointed to the ground.
Pan Sheng whispered: "There is no shovel."
The old thief brought two long knives over and said, "Try, if you don't succeed, touch them out."
Later, he followed and quietly appeared in Dutou's tent.
Damn it!
This disciple can dig holes faster than me.
The old thief knocked him unconscious with one punch, tied him up, and gagged him.
"Xiao Pan made a good hole." The old thief praised him without hesitation.
Pan Sheng said humbly: "Disciple, I think it can be faster. Master, master..."
He is so much stronger than me... The old thief was stunned, and he said softly: "If you run away straight away, those scouts will chase you. I went to get the horses away, leaving two behind. Then they came..."
"good!"
The old thief quietly went out.
He touched the place where the horses were gathered, killed the scouts guarding the horses with one blow, and untied all the horses' reins.
He also stripped off the scouts' clothes, set them on fire... and slashed the horses with long swords.
The war horses neighed and fled in all directions.
The scouts in the camp were awakened.
The old thief mounted his horse and rushed in, throwing the lit clothes on the tent.
The fire started.
The old thief rode his horse to pick up his disciple, but as soon as he turned around, he saw Pan Sheng running wildly with his head on his back.
"quick!"
The scouts came out.
He was disheveled, but he had a knife in his hand.
Pan Sheng ran wildly, threw Du's head over as he approached, and then jumped on his horse.
The two of them beat their horses and ran wildly.
All heads are lost.
Knowing that they could not escape the blame, the scouts quickly gathered their horses and gave chase.
Run away, run away!
At dawn, the old thief looked back at his pursuers, who were getting closer and closer.
"quick!"
The scouts were overjoyed.
These two cliffs are not ordinary tomb robbers, maybe they are big fish.
Because they were wearing Dutou, the two old thieves couldn't move much faster.
"Master, throw him away!" Pan Sheng said.
"Look again."
The old thief wants to be a general, how can he be greedy for life and afraid of death?
A group of black spots appeared ahead.
"It's a Northern Liao scout!"
Pan Sheng said desperately.
The pursuers were overjoyed and blew their horns, calling for friendly troops to surround and kill them.
The two sides are getting closer.
"What did I see?"
The old thief rubbed his eyes and said, "Little Pan!"
"Master!"
"Look at that, is it the second child?"
Wang Laoer wore the armor of the Northern Liao Army and looked majestic.
"Yes! That's the second brother."
The second child actually learned this?
My great general!
It's dangerous!
The old thief was heartbroken and turned his horse around, "Kill them."
"They're back, hurry up!"
The pursuers were overjoyed.
Then he was attacked by Wang Laoer and his subordinates, causing him to collapse.
"It's a scout from the Tang Army pretending to be one!"
Most of the scouts were killed, and the rest fled in panic.
The old thief escaped from death and sighed, "Second brother, who gave you the idea?"
Wang Laoer got off his horse and ate the dried meat. While eating, he said: "Those people ran away when they saw me, and the business got worse. I just wanted to pretend to be them and go to the camp."
"Not to intercept and kill the scouts?"
Wang Laoer said matter-of-factly: "I worked so hard to pretend to be an enemy, so naturally I want to catch a big fish."
"Here's one!" The old thief pointed at his head.
The two immediately returned to the city.
"torture!"
Yang Xuan needs to know the situation under Chen Fangli.
The master and apprentice of the old thief joined forces and cut the soles of Dutou's feet into skeletons, causing Dutou to collapse.
"The vanguard is fifty thousand...the leaders are Chen Fangli and Zhan Su, the kings of the North Academy."
"King of the North Campus?"
"King of the North Campus?"
Peng Lian found that most people were looking at Yang Xuan with strange eyes.
"Mr. Yang, do you have some grudges with the King of Beiyuan?" Peng Lian looked very serious.
Yang Xuan shook his head, and Widow Luo's embarrassed face appeared in his mind.
Then, subconsciously look at your left hand.
Slippery!
The 50,000-strong army was all the elite of the Northern Liao Dynasty, which was beyond the reach of Chenzhou's army.
"They are all cavalry, otherwise Taoxian County would have sent troops long ago." Han Ji said: "Cavalry comes and goes like the wind. If Taoxian County sends troops, Chen Fangli can move at any time and lead the Northern Xinjiang army around... They can do this, but Northern Xinjiang cannot
.”
Otherwise, when He Lianfeng arrives with the main force, the exhausted Northern Xinjiang Army will be vulnerable to a single blow.
"My husband ordered Chen Zhoujun to come to Linhe with the intention of luring Chen Fangli to attack." Yang Xuan knew Huang Chunhui's intention, and now Chen Fangli actually jumped out.
In this round, Chen Fangli made the first move, attacking the enemy and rescuing it. Huang Chunhui saw the move and then ordered Yang Xuan to lead the defense.
The battlefield is ready!
Come!
"Envoy!" A sergeant came in, "Taoxian County sent someone to escort the supervisory army here."
"Supervising the Army?" Yang Xuan almost forgot about this.
Whenever there is a war, the emperor will definitely send supervisory troops.
The supervisors are two chamberlains.
"We Cao Da."
"We Xue Fei."
"I've met Mr. Yang!"
The two chamberlains had serious faces and looked cold.
Of course, supervisors should not be close to generals, but they should not be indifferent either.
This is... Han Ji glanced at Yang Xuan, the person who came here is not a good person!
Yang Xuan cupped his hands and said, "Thank you for your hard work."
These are the supervisors from the palace, representing the emperor. After greetings, it is time to greet each other and exchange greetings. Then, arrange a residence and arrange people to serve...
These chamberlains are not of high rank, but they hold the title of Military Supervisor and are ranked three levels above the rank of official.
What’s next?
A group of people were waiting for his follow-up.
Yang Xuan didn't care about the follow-up at all, and said: "I have people go to Taoxian County and convey the news to my husband."
"yes."
Someone will make arrangements.
Han Ji made a look, hinting to Yang Xuan to look at the two ugly-looking supervisors.
"Hey! I actually forgot about you two. Come, hurry up and arrange a place for the supervisor."
This attitude can no longer be fake!
Cao Da rolled his sleeves and said, "Young Master Yang is busy with things, so there's no need. The two of us will make arrangements on our own."
The two supervisors went out angrily, Han Ji winked, and He Lianyan chased them out.
"Why bother offending them, Mr. Lang?" Jiang He'er said, "They will add insult to injury and say bad things about you."
"They have already fallen out. If I were being frightened or polite, believe it or not, they would definitely say that my city is deep in their secret report to Chang'an."
"The plan is very big." Han Ji said: "Lang Jun seems to be domineering, but a domineering person cannot achieve great things."
"Isn't it okay to defile yourself?" Jiang He'er asked.
Yang Xuan said: "The emperor's checks and balances are very good. Self-deprecation will only make him suspicious."
"Is it so difficult?" Jiang He'er sighed.
"Since ancient times, accompanying you is like accompanying a tiger."
"Being with you is like being with a tiger...what a great sentence!" Jiang Heer almost wanted to imitate the old thief and record it.
Han Ji smiled and said, "But Mr. Lang is a ferocious tiger!"
…
Cao Da and his wife were eventually placed in a house on the edge of the county.
The county magistrate Fu Zhen did not dare to neglect, so he hired several servants to serve him.
After bathing, the two of them sat in a quiet room, with attendants guarding the door, so they didn't have to worry about anyone eavesdropping.
The previous anger was no longer visible on Cao Da's fat face, and he said calmly: "People in the palace say that Huang Chunhui is rebellious. This is true, but he is old, so Your Majesty can tolerate it."
"Old Cao." Xue Feiji sat, beating his sore thighs, and said, "Before departure, the above mentioned that Huang Chunhui is the afterglow of the setting sun, so let's keep an eye on Liao Jin."
"Wrong!" Cao Da shook his head, "Liao Jin's life will not last long. Next, we have to look at Yang Shijun, Yang Gou."
"The explanation above..." Xue Fei was puzzled.
Cao Da said calmly: "That's a trap!"
Xue Fei didn't bother to beat his thigh, and said in shock: "You mean...Wang Chong is deceiving us? But isn't he afraid that we will ask the superiors?"
"If I ask, Wang Chong will say that what he said is accurate, and we are framed him." Cao Da sneered, "We serve in the Liyuan, and Young Inspector Han thinks highly of us. He said that he is old and wants to cultivate us because he sees how smart we are.
After a while, ten years later, I will definitely be able to be reused by His Majesty."
"Is Wang Chong jealous?"
"Somehow, Wang Chong found out about what Young Supervisor Han said, and from then on, he often targeted me."
"Then how do you know that the most important thing is to keep an eye on Yang Xuan?"
Cao Da took a sip of tea and said calmly: "That time, the mirror station came to report that the great victory in Tanzhou, the grassland aliens saw Yang Ziqi and fled. Han Shaojian said with a smile, that Yang Xuan is indeed a young man who is valued by the imperial concubine.
.But His Majesty said..."
Xue Fei leaned over and looked at him intently.
Cao Da put down the water glass, "Those eyes, I hate them!"
…
The next day, Cao Da and his wife went to the county house.
Yang Xuan has already arrived, yawning and looking relaxed and comfortable.
Xue Fei whispered: "This man actually brought two handsome young men with him when he went on an expedition. Is this a way of expelling anger?"
The emperor liked his chamberlain for a while, and everyone in the palace knew about it.
Cao Da shook his head, "One of them is the daughter of the Northern Liao clan, He Lianyan, she is charming and charming."
"Damn, you are so blessed!"
Then the discussion began.
"The city walls everywhere that should be repaired should be repaired immediately. Whatever is missing will be given. Whoever delayed this matter should not blame the ruthless military law!"
Yang Xuan first gave the local officials a warning.
"Your Majesty!"
The scout came to report, "The enemy's army, ten thousand, has gone to Shunchang."
"map."
The map was placed on the table. Yang Xuan took a look at it and closed his eyes.
Han Ji said: "Chen Fangli's move is to lure our troops out of the city!"
There is no problem with this judgment.
How to deal with it?
Yang Xuan said, "Shunchang cannot be lost."
This was the keynote. Han Ji said: "Chen Fangli has an army of 50,000 people. If he attacks with all his strength, our army will..."
Chen Zhoujun only had 20,000 soldiers and was no match for him.
Yang Xuan said: "Old thief."
"exist!"
The old thief's face was red and he was almost trembling with excitement.
My great general!
"I'll give you five thousand cavalry, and cooperate with Shunchang to mainly defend against the enemy."
"Take orders!"
Wang Laoer looked at him eagerly, "Mr. Lang."
What about me?
Yang Xuan smiled, "Second brother will go too."
"Take orders!"
Han Ji said: "If Chen Fangli attacks with his entire army..."
The old thief's five thousand cavalry are just a dish.
Yang Xuan said: "I am leading fifteen thousand men here. If he wants to attack, he will have to detach one of them to surround Lin He. How many troops do you think he should send?"
The old thief's eyes lit up, "Let's say less than 30,000, but he still has to send troops to intercept and kill my 5,000 cavalry. The remaining men and horses... This is dividing the troops into three places, which is a big deal!"
"This plan depends on Tao County's cooperation," Han Ji said.
Yang Xuan said calmly: "I believe in Huang Xianggong, and I also believe in Deputy Envoy Liao!"
This trust refers to Huang Chunhui and Liao Jin being able to judge his plan and then send troops to attack to contain Chen Fangli.
