"The officers and soldiers killed people! The officers and soldiers killed people!"
Hearing the shouts from all over the place, many businessmen who didn't know the situation started to shout and started to run away. The voices of calling for fathers and mothers could be heard everywhere. The crowds and scattered and discarded items were everywhere. The appearance was very strange.
miserable.
Outside the pass, Zhang Ziqiang killed several merchants in succession, so that many merchants no longer cared about their belongings and hid in various places. When this fellow ordered the soldiers to chase the scattered merchants, unexpectedly, a sharp arrow shot out from the crowd with a cold light.
Take his head and face.
With a shrill scream, Zhang Ziqiang rolled off his horse. Seeing that his general was killed, his soldiers became ferocious and shouted to wake up the soldiers on guard on the tower to bend their bows and prepare arrows to shoot the unarmed people.
At this critical moment, the sentry high up on the tower noticed a large group of cavalry coming, and hurriedly beat the warning drum and shouted to the defenders below the tower.
"Close the door! Close the door! A large group of cavalry with unknown movements appears in front of the pass."
The soldiers outside the pass heard the warning drums and had no intention of killing the people. It was important to save their lives. They picked up Zhang Ziqiang's body and quickly entered the pass. As the city gate closed, the guards on the tower finally watched.
The military flags carried by the Qing cavalry are all the flags of the Tang Dynasty, but the difference is that there are several military flags with the word "Qin" flying in them.
This cavalry army of thousands of people was the Qin family army led by Qin Huaiyu, Cheng Chumo, and Yuchi Baolin. They were ordered by Qin Wenyuan to pick up Ma San and his men and the scouts disguised as merchants, and try their best to protect the caravans coming from Chang'an and Qizhou.
After the military order was issued, when the troops arrived at "Kuancheng", the Pingzhou territory closest to Youzhou's "Gubeikou", they received a report from the former army scouts, saying that there was a conflict between the "Gubeikou" defenders and the caravans and that they might launch a suppression of the merchants.
Qin Huaiyu and others were shocked. They never expected that the situation would deteriorate so much. It must be that the Youzhou army was too ugly and wanted to exploit the merchants who had passed the border to make huge profits. This made the Qin army carefully stir up trouble.
The three of them knew that the situation was urgent, so they made a strategy of approaching "Gubeikou" with troops and encircling it without attacking. The purpose was to make the defending general Xue Rengui worry about the existence of the Qin army and not dare to kill innocent people indiscriminately. At the same time, Xue Yantuo and the merchants of various ethnic groups were
The team personally experienced the brutal behavior of the Youzhou army and reported it to the tribal leader, so that he could impeach Wei Xiaojie, the governor of Youzhou.
This is the purpose of Qin Wenyuan instructing Masan Division and Xue Yantuo Division to test Wei Xiaojie's intention to use any method against the caravan passing through Youzhou Pass. Now that the purpose has been achieved, the most important thing is to send the people who will carry out this mission as soon as possible.
Personnel and materials were transferred to western Liaoning.
Xue Rengui, who was leading his soldiers to drive away the people in the pass, heard the sound of drums on the city tower and thought there was an intrusion from a foreign enemy. He quickly dismounted his horse and climbed up the city tower to inspect the enemy's situation. He saw that several generals of the Qin family army were coming to the pass with a group of troops. He listened again on the city tower.
The sergeant reported that Zhang Ziqiang had been assassinated by a hidden arrow. Feeling that the situation was serious, he got off the tower in shock and anger, got on his horse, and led hundreds of soldiers with a "Fang Tian Painting Halberd" in his hand. He ordered the defenders to open the door, and immediately came out not far from the door.
He raised his halberd and glared at Xu Jun.
Qin Huaiyu, Cheng Chumo, and Yuchi Baolin saw that the door was closed and opened again, and there were actually hundreds of soldiers with a leader in a formation in front of the city gate. The three of them ordered the army to pause and be on guard. Then they each raised their weapons, led by Qin Huaiyu, Cheng Chumo and Yuchi
With Baolin as his assistant, one on the left and one on the right went forward to meet the newly appointed general of the "Gubeikou" garrison.
Seeing that the generals of the Qin army were less than ten meters away from each other, Xue Rengui spoke up and shouted loudly.
"Come and stop, what do you want to do with your troops here? Kill the defending general Zhang Ziqiang, but do you want to seize the pass and rebel?"
"General, what you said is wrong! Don't dare to talk nonsense. A certain family was ordered to greet Chang'an, Qizhou and other places for economic and trade caravans in western Liaoning at the Gubeikou Pass and to protect them. Just then they saw chaos at the pass and thought that there was a foreign invasion.
The leader of the army moved forward to help the general, but his good intentions were not rewarded. He even falsely claimed that he would kill the defending general, do you think he was trying to frame the Xu family army of the Tang Dynasty?"
Qin Huaiyu said this slowly, but unexpectedly Cheng Chumo laughed "haha" behind him.
"It turns out that the guard here is actually you, the one who followed that bastard Changsun Chong in Chang'an City. He must have given a lot of benefits to the Changsun family to get such a military position. All of them are the sons of the Duke of the Tang Dynasty. Today
How dare someone say something about our brothers' rebellion? I'm so brave that my tongue flashed, and I laughed to death!"
After this guy finished speaking, Yuchi Baolin was not willing to lag behind him, and also laughed at Xue Rengui.
"Xue boy, you are not in Chang'an City following that idiot Changsun Chong, but you came here to Youzhou to do something. No one here cares how much the Changsun family tolerates you. If you encounter the Khitan cavalry, I'm afraid your life will be in danger.
, wouldn’t it be nice to just go back to Chang’an City and be the cunt of the Changsun family!”
"Wow! I'm so angry at a certain family. Let's see my general take care of you two idiots who don't know the heights of the world."
Xue Rengui was washed away by the good words of the three people, and his anger reached its peak. He really couldn't bear it anymore and had no need to bear it anymore. He picked up his halberd and rode towards Yuchi Baolin.
Seeing Xue Rengui charging towards him, Qin Huaiyu and the other three people immediately dispersed on horseback, each displaying their weapons and preparing to fight. The sergeants on both sides did not dare to move without receiving military orders. They all shouted loudly to help the battle. There was a loud noise in front of the "Gubeikou" pass.
It attracted the dispersed businessmen to stop and watch from a distance.
But I saw that Xue Rengui used his halberd to fight with Yuchi Baolin first. One halberd and one horse halberd intersected, and sparks burst out from the impact of "ding, ding, ding, ding, dang."
Opponent's key points.
Cheng Chumo was afraid that Yuchi Baolin had made a mistake, so he brought the long ax into the battle group. The three axes on the left and the three on the right clicked so beautifully that Xue Rengui let Yuchi Baolin go and concentrated on dealing with him.
After the move, Cheng Chumo was actually killed until he could only dodge and was unable to fight back.
Qin Huaiyu saw that Cheng Chumo was no match for this guy, so he slapped his horse and held up his spear to catch Xue Rengui's halberd. Yuchi Baolin also hit him hard with his horse from the other side.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Xue Rengui seems not to be afraid of the two fighting together. He points the halberd in his hand to hit the east and the west, and actually does not lose in the attacks of the two.
By then, Cheng Chumo, who had been taking a break, joined the battle group again. The three of them seemed to be fighting around Xue Rengui in a revolving lantern, but they saw Qin Huai's jade spear, mace coming out one after another, unpredictable ghosts and gods, and Yuchi Baolin's horse spear also caused the wind to scream, and occasionally
He would pull out the bamboo mace from his waist to cooperate. Cheng Chumo used the long ax in his hand like splashing water, making it airtight. No matter how heroic Xue Rengui was, he could not defeat four people with just two fists. Moreover, all of them were military generals in front of him.
A relatable character.
The three of them fought around Xue Rengui for hundreds of rounds. Seeing that Xue Rengui was exhausted and about to lose, unexpectedly, drums sounded again on the "Gubeikou" tower. This time, it was Wei Xiaojie who rushed to rescue after receiving the "Yunzhou" military report.
The Youzhou army at the border has arrived.
Several generals stopped fighting when they heard the sound of the drums and returned to their respective formations, all preparing to attack.
Wei Xiaojie led many generals out of the customs. Xue Rengui met with the Governor and told the situation here. Only then did Wei Xiaojie realize that the "Yunzhou" military report was a misunderstanding. He suppressed his dissatisfaction with the "Gubeikou" defenders and quickly
The people quickly wanted to recover the memorial that was reported to the imperial court, so as to avoid being punished by the imperial court for lying about the enemy situation at the border. However, it came in a hurry, and it was just a remedial measure of "treating a dead horse as a live horse".
After the man quickly chased the messenger, he turned his anger on Qin Huaiyu and other Qin soldiers. He raised his whip on his horse and scolded Qin Huaiyu and others.
"You are so brave. You dare to lead a large army to the pass without any reason to challenge the Youzhou Army guarding the pass, making this governor mistakenly believe that there is an invasion of foreign enemies. Such treasonous and unethical behavior. Today, a certain family will see who it is."
I can support you and others, come here! Take down these three people for me, the Governor!"
As soon as Wei Xiaojie finished speaking, he saw the three thousand cavalry of the Qin family's army dispersed, each holding a long saber in his right hand, and a chain crossbow was exposed on his left arm, and he raised it to prepare to kill the invading enemy. The range of its shooting
Of course, including Wei Xiaojie and other generals of the Youzhou Army, they were afraid that Wei Xiaojie would also fall here just waiting for Qin Huaiyu's order.
Facing the strength of the Qin army, the Youzhou army finally had some self-awareness and did not dare to act rashly. The Youzhou army general who had served as a general under Qin Qiong hurriedly said to Wei Xiaojie.
"Captain, please calm down. This is the son of several princes. He must have done it under the orders of Qin Wenyuan. If we start a conflict with him, we may look bad to several princes in the future. We will wait until a certain family persuades several princes.
How about leaving the young general?"
Hearing that someone came out to set up the steps, Wei Xiaojie naturally followed the good deeds, and he knew very well the principle that "a gentleman does not stand behind a dangerous wall". He did not want to get involved with these young men from well-off families. If he was not careful, he would be like this.
I lost my life, but then I went to find someone to reason with.
A general who wielded a broadsword got permission from Wei Xiaojie and went out in front of the two armies and shouted loudly.
"Major General, do you still know a certain family?"
Seeing the general in armor coming out, Qin Huaiyu seemed to be familiar with him, and after recalling it for a while, he replied loudly.
"The general is a second-class general. Why don't you know this? What can I say?"
"Some people think that both sides are Tang sergeants. The misunderstanding between them has been eliminated. Why do they need to fight with each other? What do you think, Major General Jia Er said?"
"But! However, I have to welcome the caravans back to Chang'an and Qizhou. I also asked General A to tell Master Wei to order the switch to allow the caravans to pass. Why block other people's way of making money? The Gubeikou defenders are in trouble because of this pass.
Merchants, it is really shameful to block the way of King Zhanshan. In the long run, it will be extremely detrimental to the commercial exchanges of the Tang Dynasty. It will eventually have an impact on the people's livelihood of the Tang Dynasty. If the emperor knows about it, I don't know what Mr. Wei might bear.
Can you afford it?”
After Qin Huaiyu finished speaking, Wei Xiaojie's face turned red after hearing this. Since he colluded with Xiao Yu, Changsun Wuji and others to use the border to collect ill-gotten wealth and suppress the economy in western Liaoning, he secretly sent the guards to guard the border.
The generals who privately raised the customs fees for caravans were no different from bandits who blocked the road and robbed them. They had the demeanor of "I own this mountain, so I have to leave the money to buy the passage!"
Wei Xiaojie understood that it was not good for the emperor to know about such a big thing. Even if there were Xiao Yu, Changsun Wuji and others in the court to cover it up for him, he could not guarantee that no one would care about it. If Qin Wenyuan took the matter seriously, he would not
No one can tell what the result will be if he exposes it to the emperor. If he arouses the disgust of people of all races who are doing business and makes the court angry, then he will end up "walking around with nothing to eat".
This guy finally figured out the serious relationship between them, and felt regret in his heart. He thought that he and Xu Tian had no hatred, so why would he involve himself in it for the sake of other people's grievances? The Qin family might not be easy to get along with.
I’m afraid that if something goes wrong, I will be discarded casually like a pawn by others...
"If you don't take care of yourself, you will be punished by heaven and earth!"
Old ghosts like Wei Xiaojie have long regarded this as the motto of their lives. When they find danger in their actions, they think of getting out as soon as possible. How can they do it for Xiao Yu, Changsun Wuji and others who ignore their own safety?
Net worth and life.
After hearing the words of Qin Huaiyu and his generals, the man no longer cared about his appearance and led his followers back to the "Gubeikou" pass. He found some excuses for the merchants gathered here and spoke loudly on the tower.
"Due to the frequent deployment of foreign troops in recent days, in order to ensure the safety of the border guards of the Tang Dynasty, all merchants are strictly inspected. The fees are naturally higher. When the border returns to calm, the fees will continue to be the same as in the past. You can deal with it as soon as possible.
Items can be transported to and from the pass normally, and there is no need to gather people to cause trouble again."
This guy is using strong words to make excuses. He obviously has something in his heart, but he wants to say some truth to liberate the Youzhou defenders.
Outside the pass, Qin Huaiyu exchanged a few words with Jia Er again and talked about what he knew about his father recently. When he saw that the pass was restored to normal traffic, he found that Ma San was wearing a merchant's outfit and leading Nuo Da's caravan out.
Guan, immediately said goodbye to Jia Er, saying that he had military affairs and could not stay for a long time, so he sent the army to protect Ma San and others and left in a hurry.
Ma San returned to the army, and his subordinates were still mixed in the caravan and accompanying the army to western Liaoning. The military scouts sent by the army to assist Ma San had already changed their military uniforms, and were fully equipped and mounted tall horses. They had seen
Qin Huaiyu and other leading generals then galloped away.
The oolong incident that happened at the "Gubeikou" pass was finally settled in favor of the development of western Liaoning. Xue Rengui looked at the burned military camp and remained silent. He finally understood that it was not enough for him to fight Xu Tian now.
The only way to qualify is to secretly accumulate your own strength and see Zhen Zhang again one day.
Just when Qin Huaiyu, Cheng Chumo, Yuchi Baolin and Ma San led their troops to escort the caravan into western Liaoning and approached the "Junmi" city in ** Prefecture, a former army scout reported Qin Wenyuan's military order, and Ma San led the caravan to continue to "Luzhou".
After the settlement of "Long" City, Qin Huaiyu and others led 3,000 cavalry to be stationed in "Junmi" City, echoing the Qin family's army stationed in "Kuan City".
Upon hearing the news that Qin Wenyuan led his army to "Kuancheng", Qin Huaiyu, Cheng Chumo, Yuchi Baolin and others were overjoyed. They knew that there must be a battle to be fought. Qin Huaiyu was especially excited, thinking that he had not really fought on the battlefield after coming to western Liaoning for a long time.
Foreign enemies are fighting each other, but today we finally find an opportunity.
…
After Qin Wenyuan led his army to "Kuan City", he immediately sent a large number of scouts to inquire about the movements of the Khitan army. At the same time, he asked the messengers to establish communication with Wu Pingchu in "Songmo" City and Qin Huaiyu in "Junmi" City, and agreed to use red flares as the signal.
The general's order for the entire army to attack.
