Royal Road

The army started to pull out, as Jicheng in the rear, was actually not busy. Ensuring the smooth flow of the grain road is the most critical link. The grains that support an army of hundreds of thousands cannot be easily transported with the army. A considerable number of servants, cattle and horses are required to carry it. Fortunately, Youzhou has no shortage of livestock and can borrow grain from Jizhou. Otherwise, just transporting the grain will damage the vitality.

But Jicheng's guards are quite slack these days. Confidential and important ministers all set off with the governor, and the burden of city defense was really lightened. Daily inspections are nothing more than military orders for weighting and adjusting food. They are the same, and they are naturally boring over time. Fortunately, during the war, there is still a ban to keep, otherwise it is hard to say what these soldiers will look like.

Today, however, there is a sudden change.

A Qingqi of about five hundred people galloped along the official road. The horse's hoof flew like a thunder, and it didn't mean to stop when it arrived in front of the city. Chengmen Hou was shocked and quickly sent someone to stop him. The captain at the head of the team had already raised the talisman in his hand: "The military situation is urgent, open the city gate quickly!"

That is the talisman of the general! Talisman holders, not to mention the gates of the city, even the generals can enter at will. The gate of the city looked closely at the dressing of the visitors, and his complexion changed drastically. The armor of this group of soldiers was damaged, their clothes were bloody, and many others had injuries. Obviously it was a remnant who rushed out after a fight.

What made them rush back to Jicheng? Is it possible that the big camp ahead has changed?

Regardless of the number of the opponent, Chengmenhou quickly cleared the way and let people into the city. The soldiers below were even more worried, watching the team disappear at the end of the street.

However, they didn't know that after this group of people entered the city, they split into two. The brigade took the general's mansion directly, and the remaining dozens of riders turned their horses and galloped toward the east of the city.

Without stopping for a while, that team soon arrived in front of the general's mansion. Seeing the general's token, how dare the guards stop him, he immediately led people to the lobby. Now sitting in the Fuzhong is Wang Jun's confidant Liu Sima, who is in charge of the army's food road. Hearing that someone came with Fujie, I was surprised and hurried out to welcome him.

The head of the school lieutenant saw Liu Sima, and hurriedly stepped forward two steps before kneeling to the ground: "The former army is in a state of fall, and the general's life is in danger! Jiang Changshi ordered me to come and report!"

He reached out and handed Wang Jun's token. Holding the talisman, Liu Sima came down in cold sweat, this thing must not be faked, and it is impossible to take it out easily. But just a few days after the army was dispatched, how could this be so?

Liu Sima clenched the Fujie: "What is going on?!"

The captain showed a look of anger on his face, and said in a low voice: "It was Jizhou captain Yibo who lied to the camp. Jiang Changshi was working with the generals to rectify the defeated army, and he also specially asked Jicheng to pay attention to the way behind. Guard against being attacked."

"Where is the general? How bad is the injury?" Liu Sima asked.

"Extremely heavy. I don't know if I can survive the return, so the city should prepare early..."

Hearing this, Liu Sima looked at the soldiers behind the captain, and he woke up and immediately got up: "Go and ask General Pu! And Young Master Yu... please come soon too!"

Pu Wen is Wang Jun's confidant and beloved general, and the leader of the city's garrison, so it is only natural to call him. But inviting Wang Yu to come, the intention is much more profound. Although he was a concubine, Wang Yu was highly used by his father. After Wang Jun left Jicheng, he alone led the remaining soldiers.

If it is weekdays, this arrangement could not be more appropriate. But what if Wang Jun died? His aunt, Wang Xu, was seven years old, how could he beat Wang Yu's forces? Once he heard the news of his father's death, Wang Yu was afraid that he would have the heart to seize power and ruin the heirs. He must be recruited as soon as possible, stabilize his soldiers, and wait for the general to return to Jicheng.

No wonder Jiang Changshi sent four to five hundred people just to report the letter!

Liu Sima couldn't help but whispered: "After a while, you have to act accordingly. If there is anything wrong, the son will be in the West Pavilion and go to guard immediately!"

The captain didn't say much, he nodded neatly, and retreated aside with a dozen soldiers behind him. However, before Liu Sima could figure out how to deal with the matter, someone from outside said, "Master Yu, please see me."

Coming so fast! Knowing that Liu Sima felt bad, he quickly got up and greeted him out: "Young Master..."

Wang Yan was not interested in greetings, and said flatly, "I heard that Fan Yang has come? What is the situation of the former army?"

He also heard the news that someone had entered the city on Father's Day. How could he sit still? I rushed over immediately, wanting to ask for some understanding.

"This, the former army was ambushed, the large camp was defeated, and the soldiers were being gathered..." Liu Sima did not say everything, trying to stabilize the opponent first, and then wait for General Pu to arrive before making plans.

However, Wang Yan did not eat this set: "Where is the messenger? Bring him to see me!"

"Young Master, do you remember the last general?" someone asked behind him, but the person who asked the question was not the former captain.

Wang Lin looked at the person who spoke, and suddenly frowned, "You...you are..."

He seemed to remember something, but before he could speak, the man had already taken a step forward, and the long knife in his hand lit up and pierced into Liu Sima's vest. Unprepared at all, Liu Sima's eyes suddenly opened to the fullest, his hands and feet trembled, and he broke his breath.

This was too abrupt, let alone Wang Yu, even the guards beside him did not react. But they couldn't react, and some people moved. The dozen or so messengers raised their swords together and rushed towards Wang Yu and his soldiers. One side was prepared, and the other was unintentional. In an instant, the guard next to Wang Yu was killed cleanly, and he himself was tied with his hands and thrown in front of the murderer who killed Liu Sima.

"You are the Jie Nu!" Wang Yu finally reacted at this time, exasperated and roared loudly.

He has met Yi Yan. When meeting with Liang Zixi that year, Yi Yan was by his side. Although the two have not passed a word, how can they not be able to tell the unique appearance of this child?

How did this Jinu get to Jicheng? Didn't the father intend to win over this person, or even decide to marry him? Wait, he killed Liu Sima and his father's token. Could it be that...Wang Yu was not stupid, he immediately wanted to understand the joints, and his face turned pale.

Yi Yan didn't reply immediately. Those gray-blue eyes swept over him and suddenly asked, "Dare to ask where the two sons, Wang Xu and Wang Yi, are?"

His voice is not loud or small, and his tone is not very strong. Wang Yu was angry: "The thief slave! Don't want to get it out of my mouth..."

He didn't finish his words, and the cold blade had already been chopped off. Wang Yu only felt a pain at the root of his ears, and thick blood spurted out. His ears were cut off by Yi Yan!

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!" Screamed.

Yi Yan raised the blade and nailed it to his nose: "Nose, eyes, ears, lips, hands, feet, and limbs, please be careful, Master Yu. There are not many chances that you can answer the wrong question."

This is a nonsense, should I chop the same? Wang Yu's teeth trembled: "In the Houzhai, Houzhai West Pavilion! Both are here!"

His father's two prostitutes were not enough to make him pay such a price.

This answer is generally the same as what Liu Sima said. The soldiers around Yi Yanchong gave a wink, and a hundred people immediately formed a battle and rushed towards the back house.

Yi Yan turned his head and asked again: "Where are the other brothers of Master Yu? Where do they live?"

Wang Yu has already reacted at this moment, this Jie Nu is afraid that he wants to kill all his brothers and sisters, and let his father have no one in his hands. But how many soldiers did he bring? How many distributions are enough for these four to five hundred people?

No longer hesitating, Wang Yu immediately said: "The three elder brothers are in the Chengxi Palace, and there is a younger brother who works in the governor's mansion."

Divide the troops! Just now Liu Sima also recruited General Pu, and soon he will come with troops. Wouldn't he be able to save his life?

Expectation flashed in Wang Lin's eyes. At this time, he must not anger the other party. As long as he drags it for a while, there will always be a chance to escape!

But this time, Yi Yan did not act. Noisy started outside, and there seemed to be a confrontation. The General's Mansion is guarded by personal soldiers, and even if it fails to react for a while, it won't last long.

Yi Yan didn't care about the sound outside the door, and the long sword in his hand sank and leaned on the opponent's shoulder: "Poisoned the lord that day, but what is your order?"

Wang Xun was taken aback. Before answering, the sword swept down. The severe pain struck again, and he grew his mouth and fell to the ground. The large pieces of skin on the shoulders were peeled off until they were exposed! It hurts several times as much as missing an ear!

Wang Yu was really scared, he found a key problem. It was him who met Liang Zixi that day. What if this Ji Nu put his sins on his head? Will he really let himself live?

It may be that before waiting for the answer, the man's sword turned upside down again and pointed at Wang Yu's leg: "I don't know how many knives have to be cut before Ling Chi's death."

"It's Zhang Dian! It was Zhang Dian Zhang Shuya who poisoned me that day! I really didn't know it, and I blamed the thief! It was him who coveted the Wang Family Qiniang, who did the cruel hand!" Wang Yu wailed. If you are beaten with a single knife, you might as well die quickly now! That was made by Zhang Dian! It's really not him!

Yi Yan's eyes became colder, as cold as ice: "Where is the chapter?"

"I don't know! At that time I wanted to kill him, he had already escaped! It is said that he went to the Hun Dynasty! I really don't know... Please, please forgive me, I am willing to guarantee you out of the city!" Wetness appeared between Wang Yu's shares. He doesn't want to die, really doesn't want to! Even without the identity of Wang's concubine and without everything that he has now, he still wants to steal his life, and want to survive!

Looking at the begging man on the ground, the sword in Yi Yan's hand tightened. The lord was killed by such a villain. Such an odious thing! Before heading to Jicheng, he made up his mind to find this son, and cut it all! Unexpectedly, it will take no effort at all. As long as this person is killed, what are the other concubines?

Unfortunately, he didn't have enough time.

With a hand, the long sword pierced the man's chest. Yi Yan looked at the blood-stained face struggling and twisting, and gradually lost his voice. Zhang Dianzhang Shuya, he remembered.

"General, Wang's child has been killed, except for the guards in the mansion!" A bloodied soldier rushed in.

Yi Yan drew his sword, shook it slightly, and shook off the blood on the sword: "Set fire! Go to the Assassin's Mansion!"

The palace is too far away from the generals, it is better to attack the governor's mansion first, kill the governor and other officials, set fire to the treasury, and expand the chaos. The fire in the granary in the east of the city should have risen, and there is not much time left...

When General Pu led his troops to arrive, the general mansion had already ignited a raging fire. His face was pale, and he shouted: "Quick! Come and put out the fire!"

The mansion is the wife of the general's son and daughter. If they lose their lives, how will they explain to the general?

However, before the soldiers rushed in, another person came in embarrassed and said: "General! The governor's mansion is also on fire! I heard that the group of thieves rushed out of the governor's mansion and went west of the city!"

General Pu shook his body and shouted loudly: "Split the troops! Divide the troops quickly and stop! The city gate is guarded for me, and you can't let these thieves leave!"

Don't they want to survive? Break through the General's Mansion and the Provincial Governor's Mansion, light the granary, and create a fire in the east of the city. How many people are there in this group of thieves, dare to be so arrogant? ! He can't let go of these thieves and slaves! They must be left with their lives!

However, at this moment, a fierce battle has begun at the city gate. There is a response from the inside and a strong army outside. How can this group of careless defenders stop it? In a flash, the gates changed hands!

Liu Gong wiped the blood off his face: "Where is the general?"

"The general set fire, and he will come when he says he burns the palace." A soldier panted and replied tiredly.

This is too much trouble. Liu Gong looked at the black smoke rising around the city, admiring and fearing. This thunder strike, not to mention the enemy, even he almost couldn't respond. I don't know when the garrison in the city will react. Must hurry up and leave quickly. Their strength cannot tolerate any delay.

"Keep the gate of the city. Go and see if there are horses in the enemy camp? If so, bring them all!"

In order to catch up with the real messenger, they rushed to Jicheng around the clock, and the horse was too exhausted. If you don't change horses, you may not be able to escape. But now the horses that can be found are extremely limited, one is just one.

The soldiers below moved quickly. Liu Gong anxiously stood by the gate, waiting for the man to return. In a quarter of an hour, two quarters of an hour, less than three quarters, more than three hundred riders galloped along the road.

"The general succeeded!" Liu Gong shouted loudly.

Seeing his own Yingzheng from a distance, Yi Yan said in a loud voice: "Withdraw!"

Without hesitation, everyone got on their horses, **** and scorched smoke, like a dark cloud blowing across the city gate, rushing to and fro!
