Chapter 144 The heroine Di Ji who died for her country (twenty-three)
Lin Zhen and Li Mo quickly discussed the entire process of usurping the throne and decided on the time to lead the troops back to Beijing. They just had to pack their bags and set off.
Therefore, after arranging the generals who were left to defend the city, the army that returned to Beijing to usurp the throne was almost ready and could set off at any time.
Before leaving, Li Mo was a little worried and ordered the generals stationed in each city: "If the Huns raise their troops to invade, just hold on and hold on. You must defend the city."
These cities on the border watch each other from a distance, and the terrain is excellent. Even if the Huns come with troops, and there are Lingfu guards watching behind them, the Huns must be afraid that the Lingfu garrison will cut off their retreat, and they dare not go deep alone. I want to guard it well.
These cities should not be a problem.
After arranging all this, Li Mo and Lin Zhen led the army all the way south from Zhuyue City.
There were no obstacles along the way, and the army followed the flat official road all the way to the foot of Yu City.
As expected, Yucheng had been occupied by the Xiongnu, and only wolf-headed flags were planted on the city walls, sounding fiercely in the wind.
I don’t know what happened, but places like Yucheng fell into the hands of the Huns. Lin Zhen had to wonder if there was some big trouble in the capital, and even the entrance to the capital was handed over to the Xiongnu.
But there was not the slightest movement in Beijing to take it back.
Lin Zhen looked up at Yucheng in front of him and shouted to the soldiers on the city wall: "Hey, where is your general? I have something to say to him. Can you please come out and see him?"
Several soldiers on the city wall listened carefully to Lin Zhen's shouting, looked at each other, and whispered to each other: "Why does this man want to see the general?"
"No matter what she wants to do, we just need to report it to the general."
"you go?"
"you go."
They pushed each other for a while, and finally pushed a soldier out: "Go and report to the general."
"Okay." The soldier was unambiguous and went straight down the city wall to find the garrison of Yucheng and reported to him, "General, there is someone coming with troops from below the city, and they are clamoring to see you and saying they have something to say to you.
.”
"Oh?" The general touched his fluffy beard when he heard this, and asked doubtfully, "Could it be that the reinforcements from Mobei have arrived... let me go and have a look."
He picked up the weapon beside him, strode up the stairs to the city wall, and looked down the city: Hey, who is this female general? I don't know him. Look at the guy behind him, oh, isn't this Li Mo? He
Why did you come here?
When the Huns, who had been fighting with Li Mo all year round, saw Li Mo, their bodies automatically produced a conditioned reflex that was uncontrollable. They raised their hands and said, "Fire the arrow, let the arrow go!"
The arrow shot in Li Mo's direction like a meteor.
Hey, hey, what are you doing? Li Mo, who was focused on the fire, took the reins and took two steps back. He felt speechless: I'm already standing so far back, why are these arrows shooting in my direction? Can you tell me?
Does it make sense?
Lin Zhen, who stood closer to the city wall than Li Mo but had no arrows to get close to him: It must be that General Li has somehow attracted the hatred of the enemy...
Lin Zhen looked at the unshaven general on the city wall and shouted loudly: "Is this General Zamul on the city wall?"
Zamul's eyes finally moved away from Li Mo, and he said in a deep voice: "Exactly. Do you know me?"
"I can't say we know each other." Lin Zhen waved his hand casually and said, "I just heard Hu'erqi mention it."
"Oh?" Zamul's hand movements paused, "Have you met King Zuo Xian?"
Judging from his reaction, he probably didn't know the news about Kurqi's capture yet.
"I've met him a few times." I met him during the war, and I also met him when he was in the cell. Isn't this a lie?
Seeing that Jamur's expression was slightly relaxed, Lin Zhen took out the letter written by Gurqi from his sleeve, raised it and said to Jamur: "This is the letter written by Gurqi to you.
Do you want to send someone to get it?"
From such a long distance, how could he see clearly whether it was the letter from King Zuo Xian? Zamul thought that the other party was deceiving him with a fake letter, and said unmoved: "No need. If it is really King Zuo Xian
The letter——" He patted the cold and hard stone bricks under his hands and said, "Then please deliver it in person."
Since you ask so...
Lin Zhen took off the bow and arrow hanging next to the saddle, tied the letter to the tail of the arrow, opened the bow and aimed the arrow at the city wall, and said loudly: "Okay. Then you can take this letter!"
The arrow was like a shooting star chasing the moon, making a loud "swish" sound through the air. Before everyone could react, the arrow, together with the letter at the tail of the arrow, had passed by Zamul's ear, and it hit him hard.
The ground was nailed to the wooden flagpole beside it.
Zamul's expression changed slightly.
He took a step back, retreated under the cover of the city wall, and then stretched out his hand to pull out the arrow nailed to the flagpole - hey, you can't pull it out?
He took a closer look and realized that the arrow had been nailed deeply into the entire wooden pole, and the tip of the arrow on the other end had even penetrated the wooden pole. If this arrow was not nailed to the flagpole, but
If it hits his head...
Zamul didn't dare to think about it anymore. He gave up on pulling out the arrow and reached out to take out the letter tied to the arrow tail.
He opened the letter and read it, confirming that the letter was indeed written by Horqi, and then read the content of the letter carefully: Huh? King Zuo Xian asked me to lead troops to withdraw from Yucheng?
Zamul, a man who leads troops in wars, has no strategic considerations. He usually fights wherever and however the superiors tell him to fight. What's more, King Zuo Xian is his old boss. Since the other party tells him to withdraw from Yu
City, then evacuate Yu City!
After Zamul accepted the order mechanically, he ordered the army in the city to pack up the food, grass and luggage in the camp and prepare to set off back to Mobei.
He also sent people to shout to Lin Zhen and others on the city wall: "Your army retreats a little and gets out of the way. We will pass there later!"
Lin Zhen had no interest in attacking such dull defenders, so she generously opened up the flat and wide road in the middle: "Okay, then hurry up!"
Not long after, people and horses came out of the city one after another, dragging grain and grass baggage in carts behind them. They walked past Lin Zhen and others in a swaggering manner, as if they were not worried about being robbed at all.
Lin Zhen sighed with Li Mo in a low voice: "Oh my god, there are really such stubborn people in this world. If I am a little darker, why don't I rob these guys now?"
Li Mo praised him at the right time: "Your Highness is really noble and honorable!"
Lin Zhen coughed awkwardly.
She looked at the honest-looking Zamul who was walking in the middle of the team, and waved to him: "General Zamul, be careful on the way back to Mobei!"
Zamul glanced at her suspiciously, snorted coldly, and walked forward without looking back.
