Li Er stared at Qin Huaidao, who was coming in a hurry, and asked with some dissatisfaction: "I haven't seen you in the morning, why are you here now? I didn't give you a reason to look at your skin."
"Your Majesty, please step aside." Qin Huaidao said seriously. As for Li Er's threat, he simply ignored it.
Li Er looked at Qin Huaidao with some surprise, waved his hand, and the waiters and waiters waiting in the hall exited one after another. Soon there were only two people left in the hall. Li Er shouted majestically: "Tell me, what's the matter?"
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Qin Huaidao bowed to express his thanks and explained: "Your Majesty, I escorted the convoy to Tongguan County to pull coal early in the morning. On the way back, I was ambushed. Everyone was holding a crossbow and a straight knife. They were all good hands.
Wei Chen killed more than 60 people, and more than 50 people escaped. Wei Chen followed him to a villa in Jingyang County. When he walked in, he saw that there were still more than 300 people inside. When he saw the workshop where weapons were made, he hurried back to report
.”
"Jingyang County? Everyone holds a crossbow?" Li Er's face instantly turned gloomy. Jingyang County is only about thirty kilometers away from Chang'an. What if someone suddenly comes up to ambush him? A sense of crisis surged into his heart and he asked coldly.
: "Huaidao, do you know what you are talking about?"
"Weichen knows how he dares to deceive such a big thing. The body of the murderer killed by Weichen, accompanied by weapons and a motorcade, is about to arrive in Chang'an. His Majesty can tell at a glance that the crossbow is a commonly used crossbow in the army." Qin Huaidao affirmed.
Li Er couldn't calm down anymore. There were three to four hundred veterans, all of whom were holding crossbows. One day, if he went out incognito for a private visit, wouldn't he be ambushed by these people and not survive? He asked with a cold face: "Who else knows about this matter? The murderer.
who is it?"
"Back to the Holy Land, I'm afraid everyone in the convoy knows about the ambush, but the identity of the murderer is still unclear, and only Wei Chen knows the address."
"What are they trying to do? Rebellion?" Li Er punched the desk and said coldly, not knowing who he was scolding: "Those holding crossbows are tantamount to rebellion, and those who ambush the prince of the dynasty are the same.
The crime of treason is punishable. They are committing the crime knowingly and seeking death. No matter who they are, they will not be lenient. Just wait a moment."
With that said, Li Er picked up a pen and paper and hurriedly wrote a letter, stamped it, and sealed it. Later, he came to Qin Huaidao and said: "Take it, go to Yuchi Gong quickly, he will know how to do it, these people are all here."
And if I plot against you again and again, I will definitely give you an explanation."
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Qin Huaidao hurriedly withdrew.
After leaving the imperial city, Qin Huaidao deliberately went around a few times to make sure no one was following him, then left the Fanglin Gate and went straight to the Forbidden Garden.
During the Zhenguan period, the Forbidden Army of the Tang Dynasty was divided into the Sixteenth Guards of Nanya and the Left and Right Yulin Army of Beiya. The Yulin Army was the elite of the elite and was commanded by Yuchi Gong. As soon as Qin Huaidao walked to the door, a group of guards quickly stood guard and one person stepped forward to stop him.
, shouted: "This is an important place for the forbidden army. No unauthorized entry is allowed. Who is coming?"
"Qin Li, the governor of the Supervisory Office, would like to see General Weichi." Qin Huaidao took out the token.
The other party took it, took a look at it, shouted, "Wait," and hurried in.
The army has its own rules, and Qin Huaidao understood it. He didn't move around or even look around to avoid misunderstanding. After waiting for a short time, Yu Chigong came out and said with a laugh: "Boy, you still know that you come to visit me. It's a forbidden area in the army."
, non-Yulin is not allowed to enter, so I won’t invite you in, tell me, what’s the matter?”
Qin Huaidao nodded in understanding, glanced at him, motioned aside, took out the letter and handed it over.
Yuchi Gong took it in surprise and saw that it was a special envelope for the Holy Emperor. He first checked that the seal was not damaged, then opened it carefully, took out the paper and took a look. His face suddenly changed. He put the letter away close to his body, his eyes became excited, and he whispered
Said: "That's great. The Yulin Army has nothing to do every day. It's not like Nanya where they can patrol the streets. You are simply giving credit to me. Tell me, what do you want to do?"
"It must be secretive. This junior is worried that someone is watching."
"Not bad, what else is there?" Yu Chigong praised with satisfaction.
Qin Huaidao added: "Use cavalry as much as possible to arrive before dark, but the murderer has a powerful crossbow, so we have to guard against it. I went out from the Jinguang Gate in the west of the city, diverted possible followers, went straight to Qinjiazhuang, and changed the route halfway.
Meet at the Weihe Ferry in the north and lead everyone there."
"Without further ado, let's go." Yu Chigong agreed with satisfaction.
Qin Huaidao nodded and hurried back to the city. He walked along the street without hiding his identity. He left the city through the Jinguang Gate and galloped for a distance in the direction of Qinjiazhuang. After making sure that there was no one following him, he quickly changed his route to the north and came to
When we were crossing the Weihe River, we saw a group of cavalry roaring forward, and a man riding a horse came up to meet them.
"Brother!" the visitor shouted excitedly, it was Yuchi Baoqi.
"Aren't you in Nanya Qianniu Guard?" Qin Huaidao asked with some surprise.
"The pursuit of Wang Tongbiao failed last time, so he was transferred to the Yulin Army."
Qin Huaidao looked at the opponent's armor and attire and smiled: "In this outfit, you can become a brigade marshal, that's fine."
Yuchi Baoqi smiled bitterly and said: "So what if Brigade Commander? It's not that the official position is lower than yours. He only manages a hundred people. My elder brother will be in charge of two hundred people just like you."
"Tsk tsk, why do I think you are arrogant and proud? That is a hundred Yulin army. Your brother's two hundred guards can be killed in one round. Of course, they are incomparable to me. Who can let my brother live?"
is more heroic than you."
"Get out!" Yuchi Baoqi cursed angrily.
Immediately, the two burst into laughter and felt cordial.
Yuchi Baoqi then said: "Okay, I'm not kidding you, my father will lead the troops first. That old guy gets very excited when he hears there is a war, as if he is afraid of being robbed, so we have to hurry up."
"Let's go." Qin Huaidao said without any nonsense.
The two of them chased after him on horseback, running wildly all the way.
The sky gradually darkened, and a cold moon appeared.
The team hurried on in the moonlight and soon arrived at a small town. It was freezing cold and the people in the town had closed their doors and were hiding in their houses to rest. When they heard the sound of horse hooves, they opened their windows and saw that it was the Forbidden Army.
The bright armor dazzled people's eyes, so they quickly closed it and didn't dare to look at it again.
The team rushed through the town quickly. Qin Huaidao rode his horse and rushed to the front. He led everyone into a small road and shouted: "General Yuchi, we are almost there. Slow down to avoid the sound of horse hooves being too loud and scaring away the enemy."
.”
When you go to the battlefield, you must behave like a general. This is the rule.
"Slow down!" Yuchi Gong raised his hand to signal.
The team gradually slowed down, and when it approached Zhuangzi, it became a slow movement. The sound of horse hooves became much quieter. After walking a while further, a Zhuangzi appeared in front. The weak light was faintly visible. Qin Huaidao pointed forward and said: "General, ahead
that is."
Yuchi Gong nodded, observed for a moment, and raised his hand. Three captains came forward and held their hands in hand, waiting for orders. Yuchi Gong did not waste any time and said coldly: "The people inside intend to rebel. The emperor has ordered that they be killed without mercy. Remember."
"Hold on, your opponents are armed with powerful crossbows. They are all veterans, so don't be careless. You, go to the north." He said and looked at one person.
The other party nodded, and Yu Chigong looked at the other two people and continued: "You two are on one side, and each of you will lead his own troops to surround you on three sides to ensure that no one is missed. This general will only give you one cup of tea, so you must surround him. After one cup of tea,
Let’s attack head-on. We’ll do it together when the time comes. There’s no mistake, let’s go.”
"Follow the order!" The three of them responded solemnly and turned over.
Soon, the three of them led their troops on foot and got into the woods.
