Chapter 622 Ben will personally lead the army to Dongdu to explore the truth
Chapter 622
Huangfu Wuyi and the five guards were walking under the hot sunshine. Their clothes were finally dry. Their clothes were covered with mud, and their hair was scattered by the water, so they could only be pulled up casually on their heads.
The armor on his body had been thrown away long before he went down to the river, along with the long sword at his waist... among the five of them, only two long swords with ring heads were left.
There was another person, although the scabbard was still on his waist, but the knife was washed away by the water. The six men were in ragged clothes, with messy buns and dull eyes, just like the refugees who were fleeing.
"General, how far do we have to go?" A guard wiped the sweat from his face. The early summer sun was too harsh, so he took a rag to cover his head to prevent his face from peeling.
"I'm afraid we have to walk more than twenty miles... We all insist on persisting. When we get there, we will confess our identities to the officers and soldiers of the Suppressing Army. As long as we can see the person in charge, we will tell him how great we are..."
Before Huangfu Wuyi could finish his words, he saw a dozen riders galloping towards them from the north. After a pause, they then reined in and galloped towards this direction.
At this time, several people were a little hairy and turned their heads subconsciously. Huangfu Wuyi couldn't help but scream in pain. He had been walking eastward along the water bank before, but unknowingly, after stepping on the main road, he
Stay away from the water.
If you continue to march by the water, if these cavalry are enemy cavalry, you and others only need to jump into the water and swim to the other side to get out of trouble.
But now, Luoshui is quite far away from him and others, and I am afraid that these ten riders will be able to catch up with him and others before he reaches it.
"Calm down, if it's the cavalry of Wagang Village, tell them that we are from other places, righteous thieves who want to join Wagang Village, do you understand?" Huangfu Wuyi, as a wise Youwuwei general
A general will naturally not act recklessly.
The five men under his command nodded repeatedly and obeyed Huangfu Wuyi's instructions honestly. In a short time, the dozen or so riders were getting closer and closer. The leader was a burly bearded general, holding an exaggerated propaganda weapon.
Hua Daaxe reined in the horse's head a dozen steps away from Huangfu Wuyi's group.
Seeing the embarrassed look of Huangfu Wuyi and others, the general with the ax immediately became happy. "Hey, brothers, where did this come from...how did you get into such a mess."
"???" Huangfu Wuyi and others looked confused, who the hell is this? Do we know you very well? You can open your mouth and spray randomly with a big axe?
"Hey, I, Old Cheng, was also a gangster back then. I have been around for many years, but I haven't been as miserable as you. Tsk, tsk, tsk... You can tell at a glance that it was a robbery that failed, but was taken care of by the fat sheep."
"The general's words make sense, and I think it sounds like..." The flatterer next to him immediately agreed cheerfully.
Huangfu Wuyi's whole body is in a bad state. It's only because you are living in the world that your whole family is miserable. Did I, the great General Youwuwei, live in such a miserable state?
"General, their clothes and armor don't seem to be from Wagang Village..." The soldier beside Huangfu Wuyi reminded him in a low voice.
"Oh, this guy is very clever. That's right. Your Grandpa Cheng and I, ahem, your General Cheng and I are certainly not that gang of thieves." Cheng Yaojin laughed and turned his axe.
Putting on a majestic image.
"General Cheng..." Huangfu Wuyi stared blankly at this bearded man with a coquettish posture, and remembered that he seemed to have seen this man beside Yang Qian when he accompanied His Majesty in the northern expedition to Goguryeo.
"Do you recognize me, Mr. Cheng?" Cheng Yaojin, who was still laughing and joking but had no formal appearance, changed his face. But at some point, Huangfu Wuyi noticed that this guy was chatting with him. His subordinate
The dozen or so cavalry had formed a fan, and seemed ready to launch an attack at any time.
Nima, this guy is so insidious. Huangfu Wuyi quickly raised his hands to show that he had no ill intentions.
"General Cheng, I am Huangfu Wuyi, the general of the Chaoting Youwu Guard. In the past, during the northern expedition to Goguryeo, His Majesty saw General Cheng following the King of Tang in front of his Majesty."
"The reason why I am like this is because Li Mi from Wagang Village is causing trouble in the Eastern Capital. He is good at killing important court officials and attacking the palace, with the intention of harming His Majesty. I broke out of the siege and came here to ask for help from the Zhenfu Army."

In Luokou Cangcheng, Xu Shiji, who had just finished handling military affairs, stretched out in a rare and indistinct way, subconsciously put his hands into his sleeves, and was thinking about whether to take a nap first.
Then I heard noisy footsteps coming from outside, as well as a familiar loud voice calling.
"Lao Xu, Lao Xu!"
"Wow hahaha... Lao Xu, you know, I, Lao Cheng, caught a big fish today." Cheng Yaojin rushed into the house with a happy face, and his loud voice almost made the house echo.
"Ha..." Xu Shiji chuckled. "General Cheng, it seems you are not on duty today, right?"
Cheng Yaojin paused for a moment, then laughed cheekily. "Yes, yes, yes, I, Cheng, was not on duty today, so I was so idle that I went out for a walk around the city, and I actually ran into a big fish."
"...Where's the fish?" Xu Shiji rolled his eyes angrily at the restless dog friend, hoping that it wouldn't be a few more deserters from Wagang Village, or someone who slipped out of Dongdu City.
"Waiting outside, Huangfu Wuyi, the general of Youwuwei who was granted the title of Dongdu Xiaochaoting, is the big fish that I, old Cheng Jin, have caught. This guy also brought good news, that old scumbag Li Mi
Rebellion."
Xu Shiji stayed for a long time before he came back to his senses, and the corners of his eyes stood up. "Dongdu? Li Mi rebelled?!"
Soon, Huangfu Wuyi, who had tidied up hastily, was led to Xu Shiji. At this moment, all the generals of the Zhenfu Army had arrived.
After hearing Huangfu Wuyi's narration and the events before and after Li Mi's rebellion, I felt like the world was suddenly turned upside down.
"You mean, when you left Dongdu, there was still fierce fighting in the city?" Niu Jinda blinked his eyes, with a look of excited anticipation on his face.
"General, should we bring all the troops and horses and rush to see the situation?" Cheng Yaojin was also gearing up and wanted to make some achievements.
"I also ask General Xu to quickly send troops to help. I will be the vanguard." Huangfu Wuyi had already taken out his seal and ribbon to prove his identity. Although he was the general of Xiao Chaoting, he knew very well that Yang Qian
The Zhenfu Army under his command would not recognize Xiao Chaoting's canonization, so to avoid embarrassment, he wisely called himself the Last General.
Xu Shiji subconsciously held up his hands again, narrowed his eyes and began to think. After a while, he patted the table lightly. "In this case, Old General Lao Pei will be guarding the city. I will personally lead the army to Dongdu to explore the reality.
.”
Soon, five thousand cavalry led out of Luokou Cang City, followed by 20,000 elite infantry. Pei Renji led 15,000 elite troops to guard Luokou Cang City to prevent anyone from attacking the city.
Not long after Xu Shiji and his troops left Luokou Cangcheng, Li Mi finally received the bad news from the east gate...
