"Well..."
"Bang..."
Immediately afterwards, there were several more muffled sounds and the sound of landing. In the blink of an eye, four or five more soldiers beside Dali Lin stopped breathing and fell from the horse.
The surroundings became even more chaotic. The sound of sharp arrows piercing the air and the shrill neighing of horses came one after another. Several torches also fell down, causing the weeds on the roadside to burn...
The scorching flames quickly formed into one, frightening the already frightened horses into even more panic.
"Everyone, be careful!"
Dali Lin shouted as he pulled out the long sword from the scabbard at his waist. He moved the long sword horizontally and heard a "pop" sound. The blade of the sword accurately blocked an arrow that was shooting towards him. .
Where the collision occurs, sparks will be fired in all directions, and they will be destroyed in a flash.
In the commotion, Dalilin's sharp eyes sparkled in the firelight and he shouted loudly: "They must be from the Southern Xinjiang Army, and they are here to save people! Quick, keep an eye on them..."
Before I finished speaking, there were dense bursts of sound breaking through the air from all directions, like a large and densely packed wasp...
Da Lilin never had a chance to finish his words. A sharp arrow shot from right in front of him like lightning. His eyes were wide open and he had no time to react. The sharp arrow penetrated straight through. His neck...
"Click!"
Before the boundless darkness completely enveloped him, he seemed to hear the sound of sharp arrows penetrating his spine, and then he knew nothing...
Da Lilin's body fell back, and his eyes were as wide as dead fishes. They were dim and dull, as if he was saying silently, how is this possible! How could he die!
Dali Lin died, but those sharp arrows did not stop and continued to shoot out...
"Swish, swish..."
When the surroundings became quiet, all the Xirong people fell down, leaving only two prison cars and two young men imprisoned in them.
Torches were lit one after another on both sides of the official road, and with the burning weeds all around, the firelight illuminated nearly a mile around like daylight, and also illuminated the faces of the two young men in the prison car. What's interesting is that there is no surprise in the expressions of the two of them, as if they had known that they would be saved; the difference is that the former's eyes are bright and determined, while the latter's eyes are deep and dim...
The cold wind in winter gradually dimmed again on the official road. The prison wagons emptied and the surviving horses were pulled away, leaving only dead bodies and pools of bright red blood on the ground. In the scattered flames that were about to go out, the blood was dazzlingly red...
The night is getting deeper, and only the cold moon in the night sky is watching what is happening below. The corpses here slowly become stiff, with pale skin covered with bruises. They are so hideous and terrifying that it is almost impossible to look directly at them.
As the moon in the sky faded, the rising sun in the east began to rise slowly, illuminating this dark land.
"Tap tap tap..."
The messy sound of horse hooves came from the direction of Liuquan City. A group of nearly a hundred Xiye soldiers galloped over, slowed down a hundred feet away, and finally stopped in front of the dead bodies here. ……
On that day, what happened here reached the ears of Generalissimo Ta Hai in Xiye’s Eastern Expedition. Along with them came several blood-stained arrows, and the deputy general who came to report knelt down on one knee. On the ground, I was so nervous that I didn't dare to look up at Ta Hai.
In the Western Night Army, no one knows that Dalilin is a confidant of General Tarhai. Now Dalilin is sent to Dayu as an envoy, but he dies unexpectedly...
The atmosphere in the camp was almost stagnant, and the lieutenant only felt his heartbeat pounding in his ears.
"Is this a feather arrow used by the southern Xinjiang military?" Ta Hai's voice suddenly came from above.
The deputy general hurriedly replied: "Yes, General. The Southern Xinjiang army that came to support Western Xinjiang this time is called the Xuanjia Army, and the arrow tips on the feather arrows they use are made of Xuantie."
"Okay! Very good!" Ta Hai said nothing more and let out a sinister laugh.
The lieutenant below felt a sense of astonishment and cautiously raised his eyes to look at Ta Hai.
Although Tahai, who was sitting behind the mahogany case, was smiling, his face was gloomy and gloomy. His sharp eyes looked at an arrow in his hand, and a strange light bloomed in his pupils.
Although Dali Lin was sacrificed, his "distancing plan" was the first step to success.
Now that they have suffered "heavy losses" in Xiye, the peace talks between the two countries will naturally be unable to continue...
"Next, it's my turn to ask Dayu to give us Xiye an explanation!" Tahaidi added slowly.
The lieutenant had a vague feeling that Ta Hai’s words were not just superficial. There seemed to be other deeper meanings in them, but he could only clasp his fists and say: "The general is wise!"
Ta Hai played with the feather arrow casually, with a proud smile on his lips, feeling quite confident that everything was in my hands.
This time, Xiye paid a small price for this "disturbance plan", but got double the reward.
First of all, the Southern Xinjiang Army has a rift with Dayu. As long as he continues to fan the flames, the Zhennan Prince's Mansion in Southern Xinjiang and Dayu will completely fall out. In this way, Dayu will end his own life. With one arm, the strength is greatly reduced.
Secondly, Han Huaijun was forced to leave the Xijiang Army. Although it was a pity not to kill him, at least Xijiang was under his control.
As soon as the reinforcements sent by the king arrive in a few days, he can order an immediate fierce attack on Chu Liang City... He is bound to take over Western Xinjiang within this year and show off his military power!
Thinking about it, Ta Hai narrowed his eyes slightly, a flash of light flashed in his eyes, and said loudly: "If you come, I will serve you with pen and ink!"
Half an hour later, a group of dozens of Xiye cavalry galloped out of Liuquan City and headed all the way to Chuliang City.
The new envoy rushed to Chu Liangcheng in the afternoon of that day and handed Ta Hai's letter and an arrow stained with blood to the hands of Marquis Weiyuan.
When Marquis Weiyuan read the letter, he was so shocked that he could hardly believe his eyes. He suddenly realized that this trip to Western Xinjiang might not be as easy as he thought.
Yesterday, after Yao Lianghang and Han Huaijun were taken away by the Xiye people, Weiyuan Hou immediately sent out troops personally and led 20,000 troops to surround Jinglan City, trying to control the 10,000 Southern Xinjiang troops in the city to prevent them from destroying the country. Yu and Xiye had peace talks, but when the gates of Jinglan City were opened, Weiyuan Hou was dumbfounded. Jinglan City was empty, without a single soldier. As for the common people, they had all been evacuated when Dayu’s army retreated last time. Now...
Marquis Weiyuan refused to give up and had people search the entire Jinglan City, convinced that it was an empty city!
At that moment, Marquis Weiyuan felt vaguely that something was not right, but he could only persuade himself that perhaps the Southern Xinjiang Army had gotten the news that Yao Lianghang had been captured, so they retreated to Southern Xinjiang...
It was not until this moment that Tahai sent someone to send this letter to accuse them, and Weiyuan Hou did not know that Dali Lin and his party failed to return to Liuquan City. They all died on the road, and no one survived, while Han Huaijun and Yao Lianghang were missing.
In the letter, Ta Hai angrily accused Dayu of being cunning and cunning. On the surface, he wanted to have peace talks with him in Xiye, but in fact, he was double-dealing and had sinister intentions. He will report this matter to King Xiye. If Dayu cannot give him an explanation, then they will never rest until Xiye defeats Dayu!
Marquis Weiyuan read Ta Hai's letter several times, and then looked at the black iron feather arrow with fear.
Obviously, it was the Southern Xinjiang Army who kidnapped Han Huaijun and Yao Lianghang, and also massacred the Xiye envoys. The Southern Xinjiang Army was so bold that they were so arrogant that they were disrespecting the emperor and wanted to rebel!
"Quick! Immediately send someone to check the current whereabouts of the Southern Xinjiang Army... Once you have news, don't alert them, come back and report it to me!"
Following the order from Marquis Weiyuan, the entire Chuliang City became commotion...
At this moment, the Southern Xinjiang Army, who was worried about Weiyuan Hou and Ta Hai, was on Heshi Mountain, about twenty miles away from Chuliang City. Among the poplar trees, there were green tents hidden all over the mountains and fields.
The two young people stood on the top of the mountain like pines and cypresses, facing the cold wind carrying yellow sand without any care. The wind and sand hit their faces with a bit of coldness and pain.
The sky is a bit gloomy, with clouds piling up in layers in the sky.
Han Huaijun looked at the eastern sky with a complicated expression, which was the direction of the royal capital. His fists were clenched tightly together, and countless tangled emotions flashed through his eyes, including anger, disappointment, confusion, sadness...
In contrast, Yao Lianghang next to him looked calm and indifferent, as if he was outing with friends on weekdays.
It was quiet all around, except for the sound of the cold wind blowing leaves and sand.
I don’t know how long it took, but Han Huaijun suddenly smiled bitterly and said with half sigh and half emotion: "Brother Yao, you have said everything right..."
Han Huaijun's voice was extremely bitter. He had always hoped that things would not develop to this point. But when Marquis Weiyuan came to Chu Liangcheng according to the order, his heart gradually sank. After that, he was like a bullshit. At the mercy of Marquis Weiyuan like a string puppet...
On the day Han Lingfu left Chu Liangcheng in early October, Han Huaijun had a conversation with Captain Yao Lianghang. From Yao Lianghang’s frank and meaningful words, Han Huaijun keenly sensed that Xiao Yi was probably planning on Xiye this time...
Strictly speaking, Xiao Yi's plan has nothing to do with Dayu. Han Huaijun just wanted to have a clear conscience and didn't want to take care of it, but this matter has been pestering him for several days.
He couldn't help but think, if this matter could be hidden for a while, but not forever, how would the emperor react when the Southern Xinjiang Army captured Xiye? !
The emperor was originally wary of the Zhennan Palace. He would be furious and the court would definitely go to war with Southern Xinjiang...
Once the war breaks out in Dayu and the smoke spreads everywhere, it will be the people of Dayu who will suffer and the soldiers of Dayu who will die!
Whether he is a descendant of the Han family or a general of Dayu, he cannot just watch things develop to that point, but turn a blind eye and watch indifferently, doing nothing; he cannot sit back and watch the Dayu country built by the ancestors of the Han family fall apart...
So, he went to Yao Lianghang and made a request to see Xiao Yi.
But Yao Lianghang proposed to make a bet with him, saying that Han Lingfu would definitely give advice to the emperor after returning to the capital this time, and the emperor would be suspicious of this and would no longer believe him...
At that time, Yao Lianghang's affirmative voice still seemed to be in his ears: "...Brother Han, not only will the emperor change his generals on the battlefield, but he will also very likely use your life and mine as a bargaining chip to negotiate peace with Xiye... ”
Han Huaijun didn’t believe it and didn’t want to believe it.
Although he felt that the emperor had been a little confused in recent years, the court not only had the eldest princess Yongyang in charge, but also had some loyal ministers and generals supporting him, how could he have reached that point!
Moreover, the emperor was his uncle and had always been very kind to him and never looked down upon him because of his origin.
He didn’t believe that the emperor would treat him like this!
But the emperor slapped him hard from thousands of miles away...
The scenes that happened in these short few days flashed through Han Huaijun's mind like a revolving lantern. His expression became even more complicated. He felt that the tower of faith in his heart was rising after the appearance of Marquis Weiyuan. It collapsed bit by bit, turning into the yellow sand of Western Xinjiang bit by bit, disappearing in the bursts of strong wind...
That day, Yao Lianghang promised him that if none of this happened, it meant that Dayu still had hope, and he would take Han Huaijun to see Xiao Yi...
The two high-fived each other on the spot.
At that time, Han Huaijun was full of confidence.
However, facts have proved that Dayu has no hope!
Han Huaijun sighed quietly, his shoulders slumped instantly, and his heart was even more bitter. He felt as if he was in a thick fog, not knowing where he was, let alone where he should go. Let's go...
"Brother Han, what are your plans now?" Yao Lianghang turned to look at Han Huaijun, his dark eyes full of sincerity, not feeling proud just because things were progressing as he said.
Originally, this was not something to be proud of. He still remembered the solemn expression and tone when Hou An Yi gave him instructions in the outer study room of Bixiao Hall. Perhaps, there was also a glimmer of hope in Hou An Yi's heart. , I hope Dayu can be saved.
"I am now regarded as Dayu's traitor general." Han Huaijun smiled bitterly and said sadly, "I don't care about myself. I can't help but worry about what happens to Prince Qi's house..."
His father is the emperor's brother-in-law. There is no way the emperor would kill the nine clans of the Qi Palace because of his fault. After all, they all come from the same family!
Just...
Han Huaijun frowned and continued with a solemn expression: "I am only worried that my wife will be implicated by me..."
Han Huaijun's heart felt heavy, as if a huge boulder had been weighed down on him, but he did not regret it.
A man should do something and not do something. Even if he had to do it over again, he would still choose to resist the decree and choose to fight those Xiye people!
Jiang Yixi is his wife, and she has always been in tune with him. She will definitely understand his thoughts and agree with his actions!
Han Huaijun’s eyes were full of longing, worry, guilt, and sadness...
With the blessing of the queen and the benevolent government, Xi'er's life should not be in danger, but the way to punish a person is not just to take her life. The emperor can put her under house arrest for a lifetime, or he can let her live forever. Buddha...
He originally hoped that he could protect her for the rest of his life and grow old together with her, but now...
He is a traitor general of Dayu. I am afraid he will never see Jiang Xier again...
Thinking about it, the sadness in his eyes became even stronger.
"Brother Han, relax!" Yao Lianghang patted Han Huaijun on the shoulder and comforted him with a smile, "My lady will be fine, the prince has already made arrangements."
Han Huaijun's pupils shrank slightly, his eyes showing excitement, "Brother Yao, you mean..."
The smile in Yao Lianghang's eyes deepened, he looked at Han Huaijun and said: "Brother Han, don't you still believe in the prince?"
Since Xiao Yi knew that today would happen, he would naturally make corresponding arrangements in the capital in advance, otherwise they would not dare to rashly encourage Han Huaijun to disobey the emperor.
Han Huaijun looked at Yao Lianghang, his stiff body finally relaxed, and a smile appeared on his lips.
If you can’t even trust Xiao Yi, who else can you trust?
The two young men looked at each other and smiled. The strong wind blew their hair and robes, making them seem a bit unruly.
Yao Lianghang raised his eyes and looked in the direction of Chu Liangcheng and said loudly: "Brother Han, let's wait for the charges against us to get bigger and bigger!"
Yao Lianghang smiled heartily, with anticipation, confidence and excitement in his voice, and his laughter floated in the wind...
Marquis Weiyuan lived up to Yao Lianghang's expectations. On the one hand, he ordered the soldiers of the Western Xinjiang Army to search for the whereabouts of the two men in the name of collaboration with the enemy and treason. On the other hand, he quickly wrote a note.
In this document, Marquis Weiyuan angrily stated the various crimes of Han Huaijun not only disobeying the decree, but also collaborating with Yao Lianghang to kill the Xiye envoy, clearly with the intention of treason, and ordered people to hurry up for eight hundred miles. Immediately send the book to the royal capital...
At the same time, the news that the Marquis of Weiyuan sent people to hunt down Han Huaijun and Yao Lianghang quickly spread among the army. In addition, the commotion over the change of generals on the battlefield had not yet subsided. When the Marquis of Weiyuan was not paying attention, Chu Many soldiers in Liangcheng are talking privately...
"Wang Laoer, have you heard? General Han and General Yao were rescued by the Southern Xinjiang Army..."
"Is there anyone who doesn't know about this?!" The veteran scoundrel known as Wang Laoer sighed, and then lowered his voice and said, "The Marquis has sent a message to the capital to punish General Han and Yao The general is guilty of collaborating with the enemy and treason!"
"Humph!" A disdainful snort came from the other side, and a bearded soldier said angrily, "Then Marquis Weiyuan has sacrificed General Han and General Yao to the Xiye people, why don't you escape? , are you still waiting to be humiliated to death by the people of Xiye?"
"That's right." Wang Laoer hurriedly agreed, "What do you think the emperor thinks? After all, General Han and General Yao were meritorious ministers in guarding Western Xinjiang, and they also recaptured Yamen City, Xijiang The four cities of Lengcheng, Chuliangcheng and Jinglan City have been beaten to the point where the people of Xiye are disgraced. According to me, if the fighting continues, the other lost cities may be recovered... Why does the emperor want to punish the two of them?!"
"Didn't General Yao say that day at the city gate, just hide the bird when it's gone?" Another voice joined their discussion.
"Speaking of which, we have also killed people from Xiye. Do you think we will..."
Marquis Weiyuan also wants to hand them over to the Xiye people to appease the anger of the Xiye people?
This thought appeared in the hearts of the soldiers at the same time, and a feeling of uneasiness and indignation arose in each of them.
As soldiers, it is their destiny to defend the country and die in battle, but if they are "sold" by the general to beg for mercy from the barbarians, then it will be really frustrating!
Similar conversations continued to occur in the city, as if there were invisible hands in the dark, dropping pebbles into the hearts of the soldiers, causing ripples, and becoming more and more intense... And gradually spread to the people. In Chu Liang City, the military morale was turbulent and the people's morale was unstable.
Chu Liang City seems calm, but the undercurrents beneath it are already raging like a tornado that is about to roar out at any time...
All of this has long been seen by Xiye's spies who were lurking in the city, and they secretly reported various changes in the Xijiang Army back to Liuquan City.
The morale of the army was slack, which was the best news for Ta Hai. While he sent four or five letters in succession to urge Weiyuan Marquis to hand over the people, he secretly waited for the best time.
Unexpectedly, the oriole is behind.
As night falls, both Xijiang and Xiye are shrouded in darkness. In a large dry loess ravine, there are densely packed soldiers wearing armor, all silent and motionless.
Behind the gully, there were two young people talking. One of them said, and the other responded with a smile and a silly look. His pair of black eyes looked at the other pitifully like a little puppy.
Xiao Yi raised the corners of his lips and smiled casually: "Abai, you who have never been on the battlefield, please be honest and follow me today...otherwise..." He did not go any further. Said, but the threat was beyond words.
"Brother, don't worry." Yuan Lingbai obediently agreed. None of the younger brothers knew his eldest brother's temperament. He didn't dare to challenge his authority at will. Anyway, as long as he can go into battle and kill the enemy, he is not in a hurry!
At this moment, Mr. Wei Qian, a man in his thirties, walked over quickly and said: "Your Majesty, the water transport convoy sent to Puli City has been captured!"
Xiao Yi's smile became brighter again, showing off freely.
