Li Yanneng was quite proud to be one of the few confidant generals of Liu Yu in the Northern Han Dynasty, and the sneak attack on Tianjing Pass was also his plan. He did not expect that the plan went so smoothly. He couldn't help but feel some secret in his heart.
Proudly, the great Zhou soldiers still looked vulnerable in his eyes. However, he had easily captured this chasm-like pass, and he was naturally very happy in his heart.
Tianjing Pass is still that dangerous pass like a natural moat, but its owner has been replaced by the Northern Han general Li Yanneng. As long as he can hold this dangerous pass, the Emperor of the Northern Han Dynasty will definitely capture Zezhou and Luzhou in the near future.
At that time, he had the greatest credit. Thinking of this, Li Yanneng couldn't help but smile with relief.
There had just been a drenching spring rain yesterday, and there was still a damp atmosphere everywhere. At this time, Tianjingguan was no longer as prosperous and lively as it was before. The local people who closed the gate were staying behind closed doors, and the streets and alleys were closed.
There were only a few people passing by in a hurry.
Under the crowd of his own guards, Li Yanneng took off his armor and walked in casual clothes in the dangerous pass of Taihang, Jincheng. There are not many households in the pass, only one main street of less than two miles, and this street runs through
There are only three or four alleys beside the main street.
Surrounded by guards with vigilant expressions on their faces, with a piece of wet bluestone ground beneath their feet, and looking at the towering mountains and cliffs outside the pass city wall, Li Yanneng felt how lucky he was. If Zhou Jun hadn't been careless, how could he have done it?
The sneak attack was successful and this dangerous pass was captured in one fell swoop.
"Report", a hurried figure came from another section of the street. Li Yanneng took a closer look and saw that it was a general. He saw a pale face and was running towards him panting. When he saw it, he was running towards him.
The reporter's face was a little panicked, and Li Yanneng was subconsciously shocked.
"What's the matter? Are you in such a panic? Could it be that the Zhou army is coming soon?" Li Yanneng is a general of an army after all, so of course he can't lose his grace in front of all the soldiers. He immediately yelled at the hurried general, even if the Zhou army pressed the enemy.
If he comes, he can also use this natural chasm to block the Zhou army.
"General, twenty or thirty corpses were found outside the city gate. Judging from the decorations, they must be Khitan people." The general couldn't hide the surprise on his face. He reported to Li Yanneng tremblingly. The general in front of him was the emperor.
Your majesty's favorite man has captured this natural chasm pass in one move. He can only act cautiously. General Pi secretly made his own plans in his heart and secretly looked at the other party's face.
Li Yanneng was not surprised by the appearance of the Khitan warriors. The group of fierce Khitan warriors also contributed a lot to the dangerous pass. As for the identity of the group of Khitan warriors who helped him, he did not know.
. He only knew that this group of people numbered about forty, but they were an elite warrior no less than an army of tens of thousands. From this group of people, he felt inexplicable palpitations and fear. He would rather face the Great Zhou
army, and he was unwilling to face this group of people.
"What, there are dozens of corpses of Khitans outside the city. Have you found out the identities of these Khitans and who did this?" Li Yanneng was shocked. It was Khitans and
The Northern Han Alliance was about to begin, but dozens of Khitan corpses were found under the city gate. This made him unsettled.
"I didn't find out clearly, but last night this group of Khitan people was ambushing outside the city gate, as if they wanted to kill someone. Then it ended up like this for some reason. There was also a fierce killing under the city last night.
The night was too dark, and the soldiers guarding the city could not clearly see the face of the man who was fighting with the Khitan people. But what is certain is that the man seemed to be very young, and his weapon should be a sword."
The general replied cautiously, peeking at his superior's face from time to time. He also felt a bit happy about the corpses of the Khitan people. The Khitan warriors were all fierce, and they did not kill the Northern Han soldiers.
As a human being, they always made things difficult for them, but now they are all dead, which is really satisfying.
"Damn it, these damn Khitan barbarians refused to reveal any of their actions last night, but they all became victims of the sword without thinking." Li Yanneng's eyes flashed with anger, and he said bitterly: "Those Khitan people
He was arrogant and cruel, and now he has received his retribution."
"General, what should we do with those corpses? Do we need to send someone to collect them?" The general asked again, but he hesitated, as if he wanted to say something but did not say it in the end. Regarding last night's actions, he
He was originally dissatisfied with the Khitans and using the heads of dead people was the greatest disrespect to the deceased. However, he succumbed to the lustful power of the Khitans and could only ignore the matter.
"Hurry and tell people to put it away. The main force of the Khitan people and the army led by His Majesty the Emperor are about to meet up. You'd better send someone to inform us. Just say that this matter has nothing to do with us, lest His Majesty blame you and you will not get any good fruits.
." Li Yanneng replied with an impatient wave of his hand, and then sent the general away.
And he completely lost his original interest. The whole street was deserted, and there were almost only a few of them. In these critical times, he did not expect that this group of elite warriors sent by the Khitan would be so unlucky, and all of them were actually killed.
Thinking of this, his body couldn't help but feel chills. He quickened his pace and walked towards the military camp. He still had to find a suitable reason for the death of dozens of Khitan warriors, otherwise, no matter how great his contribution,
It's hard to take the blame.
"Can it still save people's worries?" Li Yanneng murmured in his heart and walked towards the military camp. The joy brought by the successful sneak attack was like the spring sun that was just rising and was covered by dark clouds in the sky. The weather at this time was just right.
In this way, the warm spring sun just showed up in the morning, but after half an hour, the sky changed drastically.
When he walked into the military camp, before his butt was still warm, there was a loud noise outside the camp. The noise outside made him upset for a while. "Who is making such a loud noise outside? Where is the lieutenant general?" After a loud roar, Li Yan could no longer stand up anymore.
I can't stand this depressing feeling in my heart.
"The general is here." A deputy general in armor flashed in from outside the camp door. He bowed and said: "General, there are some local people's representatives outside the camp. They asked to see the general and said they wanted to open the city gate.
, restore everything in this pass. It is said that the people in this pass have been in seclusion for many days, and the people in this pass can no longer make a living.
"Is it so serious? Guancheng has only been closed for three or four days, and they can't survive. If you continue to give orders, the city gates will be reopened in the near future, but not now. If anyone makes trouble again, they will be beaten with sticks.
"Li Yanneng replied sternly. He has not yet found a reasonable explanation for the death of the Khitan people, and the people in Tianjing Pass are rioting again. It is like one wave after another.
After the deputy general walked out, Li Yanneng breathed a long sigh of relief. He was the only one in the camp. Under normal circumstances, unless there was an emergency military situation, he would be alone in the camp thinking. Not long after, there was a noise outside the camp.
The sound disappeared, and of course it was accompanied by several screams before disappearing.
For a while, he really couldn't think of any good explanation, but he couldn't blame himself for the death of the Khitan people. Alas, now he could only take one step at a time, and the boat would be straight when it reached the bridge. He couldn't help but
He smiled bitterly and could only comfort himself in this way.
There was another burst of hurried footsteps outside the tent, but it was the deputy general who left and returned. The deputy general opened the cloth door of the tent and ran in without announcing it, which made Li Yanneng's face suddenly show up while he was deep in thought.
Angry. What he hated was that someone interrupted him while he was meditating. What made him even more angry was that the deputy general had forgotten even the most basic military etiquette.
"Why is the matter so urgent? I can't tell you how I can deal with it. How can I be so hasty?" Li Yanneng's face darkened, and he shouted with a cold light from his eyes. He really didn't understand why he successfully seized the
After getting off Tianjing Pass, he would encounter a lot of troubles before he had time to rejoice for a few days. Could it be that his lifelong reputation was really going to be lost at this dangerous pass?
"General, there is a Khitan outside the city who calls himself Yelu Wuji and wants to enter the customs."
When the deputy general saw the displeasure on Li Yanneng's face, he immediately said in a low voice and cautiously. It was the general who ordered the city gate to be sealed, but no one expected that a Khitan would show up. It seemed that the man named Yelu Wuji
The Khitan people are not young, otherwise why would they call the general by his name?
"What, you said Yelu Wuji is here." Li Yanneng exclaimed when he heard it. He knew Yelu Wuji's name like a thunderbolt. This moody second Khitan master was not something he could offend as a general of the Northern Han Dynasty.
He can afford it. And the Khitan people he least wants to face include such a number one figure. The Khitan people are extremely ferocious, cruel and bloody, and have no good feelings towards the Han people at all. But Yelu Wuji is even more evil.
He is a man who does everything according to his own preferences. He did not expect that this evil star would actually come to Tianjing Pass.
"Didn't he go to the capital of the Zhou Dynasty with the Khitan Grand Master? How could he appear here?" Li Yanneng felt that there was something strange about this matter and murmured. He walked back and forth in the camp with his hands behind his back. He really wanted to
I don’t know why the second Khitan master appeared at Tianjing Pass for no reason. Although the Northern Han Dynasty and the Khitan alliance invaded the border of the Zhou Dynasty, this was only a three-party military action, and Yelu Wuji would not take it seriously at all.
"General, should we accept him or not? Should we open the city gate and welcome him in?" Seeing that the other party did not respond, the deputy general couldn't help but asked anxiously. Although he did not know Yelu Wuji's status in the Khitan, his eyesight was still
Yes, this person calls the general by his first name, which shows that this person must have a high status in Khitan.
"Let's go out and take a look." Li Yanneng ordered helplessly. No matter what, he could not offend this Khitan master. He had heard of Yelu Wuji's reputation many times. Not only was he a high-level martial artist, he was also said to be the current Khitan emperor.
The first bodyguard was the famous person beside the Khitan Emperor.
Yelu Wuji looked a little embarrassed. He searched the Taihang Mountains all night, but could not find Ye Yinfeng and Dugu Aoxue, which made him very annoyed. When he came to the gate of Tianjingguan City, he found that the city
The door was closed tightly, which made him even more furious. When he got to know the general of the defenders, he called him by name.
When Li Yanneng and the deputy general arrived at the top of the city, Yelu Wuji was roaring like a ferocious beast trapped in a desperate situation. He could hardly recognize the people under the city. Their clothes were messy and their hair was disheveled.
His viciousness was even more intense. If it weren't for the unique evil and demon-like aura of that man, he would have thought of him as a daring beggar. After he confirmed Yelu Wuji's identity, he led several soldiers from
Go down the city wall.
Yelu Wuji glanced at Li Yanneng with a sinister and ferocious look, and then said nothing. The cold aura emanating from him made the people around him tremble. Just one look, and
Coupled with the evil demon-like aura emanating from his body, a dense layer of sweat broke out on Li Yanneng's forehead.
