Chapter 409 Be bold

In Li Jiba's eyes, An Lushan was more charismatic as a commander than Wang Zhongsi. If it weren't for the obstruction by the villains in the court, which prevented Hedong Jiedushi from taking up his post, several troops, including Yunzhong Shouchuo, would have followed him.

An Lushan.

With this mentality in mind, he was extremely confident in winning over Yun Zhongjun and spoke in a domineering manner.

"You have done a lot of good things over the years, and now is the time to use you..."

Having said this, he suddenly felt a little coldness on his neck. When he looked down, he saw a black shadow falling to his feet, and then he heard a hoarse voice asking a question.

Li Jiba reacted immediately and was not afraid. Instead, he looked at Fan Chang and spat: "You are such a waste!"

Fan Chang looked bitter and said: "Prince Dongping is still obeying the imperial court's orders. After all, General Wang is the imperial envoy appointed by the imperial court. How can we dare to disobey him?"

What he said was to the point. An Lushan was still afraid, so he couldn't get ahead of An Lushan and rebel.

As for the "General Wang" mentioned at this time, it refers to the rare king.

Li Jiba slowly turned his head and looked at Wang Ran. The tip of the spear was aimed at his Adam's apple, which was covered with beard, but he was not afraid and sneered: "I thought Wang Ran was a famous general, but he turns out to be a sneak attack."

You villain, did you kill the Tubo prince with a sneak attack from behind?"

"To answer my question, I want to know the distribution of Anlu Mountain's troops at Shiling Pass." Wang Nan said.

This straightforward statement was not about interrogating Li Jiba. Two soldiers from Longyou had already come over. They would use capital punishment to force him to find out what Wang Rao wanted to know.

"Okay, let me tell you." Li Jiba said loudly: "The prince is at Shiling Pass, with only eight thousand soldiers and horses around him."

"It's useless to say anything now." Wang Nan said, "My scouts will ask you, I only believe what they say."

"What I said is true, eight thousand Yiluohe is enough to sweep across Hedong." Li Jiba looked crazy and said word by word: "Remember what I said, the brave and unparalleled Yiluohe will definitely tear you apart.

These hypocritical Tang troops!"

Wang Nannan remembered the name "Eight Thousand Drags Down the River" in his heart.

At this moment, Li Jiba suddenly leaned up, his throat dodged the tip of the spear, he took out a dagger from his waist, and raised it quickly and neatly.

Amidst the soft "squeaking" sound, Fan Chang, who was sitting in a daze, had a cut on his neck. Blood spurted out and splashed onto the barbecue and wine on the table.

At the same time, Li Jiba took two steps back, drew out the saber from Fan Chang's waist, and slashed at Wang Nannan.

"Let me tell you again, I am the son of the general of Yiluo River!"

With this sword attack, Li Jiba demonstrated the toughness and bravery of Sergeant Yiluohe. Even though he was facing a famous general, he grabbed the sword and approached without any fear.

"Tiger--"

Amidst the roar of the wind, Wang Rao was forced to take a few steps back. Because one inch was short and one inch dangerous, his gun was too long and could not be used.

Li Jiba took the lead and couldn't help but cheer up. He was about to attack the king and kill him, achieving the prestige of a famous general. However, this feeling of cheering came up when the spear suddenly struck like lightning.

"puff."

Inch long and strong, Wang Lanlan's spear was too fast. It was thrust at the scarecrow for countless days and nights in the wind and frost of Longyou, and mercilessly penetrated Li Jiba's chest.

"ah!"

Li Jiba couldn't believe it. He roared angrily. He actually held the handle of the gun with one hand, pulled hard, and thrust the gun into his body. With this force, he drove forward and continued to press towards Wang Ranran, swinging his knife.

.

Wang Nan had no choice but to abandon his gun and retreat again.

When the two soldiers saw this, they quickly grabbed him and killed Li Jiba on the spot with two blows of his sword.

His heavy body hit the ground, and Li Jiba looked mad and murderous until his death.

This was the rare first impression that "Yiluohe" gave Wang. It was the same for one person and the same for eight thousand people. They were like vicious dogs raised by Anlu Mountain, drooling and ready to bite open the prosperous Tang Dynasty...

~~

"Eating dog intestines, Zahu is not the governor of Hedong!"

Amidst the scolding, a map was rolled out and several candlesticks were lit, illuminating a dozen rough faces in the room.

The speaker was Yan Weiyue, the deputy general of Yanmen Pass. His entire left arm was broken and tied with a few branches. His old face was wrinkled, his beard and hair were all white, and he looked like a tree.

Standing behind him were Xue Song and nine soldiers who had escaped from Yanmen Pass, with angry expressions on their faces.

Xue Song originally thought that letting Xue Kui go to Daizhou to ask for help could save his younger brother's life. Now that he has obtained the accurate letter, the land of Xin has fallen into the control of Anlu Mountain, so he is inevitably very anxious.

"An Lushan has rebelled. The court will soon issue an edict to suppress the rebellion, right?"

Wang Rao shook his head, casually hung Li Jiba's head on the weapon rack, wiped his hands, and said: "It's not that simple. Listening to what this man meant, An Lushan didn't rebel, but instead pointed out the king's handsomeness.

It’s the other way around.”

"Can such a thing happen?" No one believed it.

Li Sheng then stepped forward to appease the Yanmen soldiers and said: "We have sent people to Shuofang, but we won't be back soon. Let's wait."

"No wait." Wang Rao leaned over and looked at the map, pointed at the north of Taiyuan, where it connects with Xinzhou, and said: "Anlu Mountain is right here. Let's kill him and cut off this bastard's head. Everything will be fine."

Ended."

Yan Weiyue was stunned for a while and asked: "It's that simple."

Wang Nanwan was meditating on the map and said nothing. Li Sheng responded: "Yes, General Wang does things so neatly."

If other people were to praise this kind of Haikou, everyone would definitely not believe it, but Wang Nannan has incredible achievements, so people have to believe it.

Yan Weiyue looked at the map and saw that it was very crude and many mountains, rivers and rivers were not marked. He had been in Yanmen for a long time and was most familiar with the terrain, so he could understand it. He mused: "But Yanmen Pass has fallen into the hands of the traitors, what?

past?"

Wang Nan didn't even raise his head and said slowly: "Maybe we can go from the Hengye Army's station?"

Yan Weiyue understood immediately upon hearing this that he was going to leave Feihu Pass and unexpectedly go around to the side of Anlu Mountain from the east.

He was greatly impressed by the rare idea of ​​the king, but he shook his head for a moment and said: "But the Hengye army has also joined Zahu."

"Not necessarily." Wang Nanlan said thoughtfully, "The Hengye army is mostly barbarians, and they are not subject to control. In addition, they have frequent trade with the north. Under Anlu Mountain's special solicitation, they will inevitably get close to Fan Yang... But if we say,

Did they really follow An Lushan in rebellion? That would be too arbitrary."

"General Wang means that the Hengye Army's attitude may be to turn a blind eye or close one eye?"

Wang Nan nodded and said, "I have intuition."

Yan Weiyue was surprised that he dared to take risks based on intuition alone. He thought, "Even so, it is still too risky to pass under the nose of Fan Yang's garrison."

Following this question, there was silence in the room for a while, until Wang Nanran suddenly asked.

"Do you know Xue Bai?"

"Ah." Xue Song remained silent. Hearing the words, he immediately raised his head and wanted to speak.

"I know." Yan Weiyue said, "He gave me a poem."

"Xue Lang knew that An Lushan was against his will and had many arrangements for this. Before I went to Yunzhong, I met him in Chang'an." Wang Nan said, "He gave me something that I might be able to use..."

In Chang'an in the winter, Wang Rao actually met Wang Zhongsi.

It was after he and Li Sheng went to Yanshoufang to worship, Wang Yunxiu took them there, in a money shop belonging to Fenghui Branch.

At that time, Wang Zhongsi said something with emotion.

"The saint is old, his ears and eyes are deaf, he is deceived by sycophants and rebellion, and he does not listen to the grievances of the people in the world. The country may be in great shock. In extraordinary times, we can do extraordinary things."

~~

Xinzhou.

Because the trade route to Taiyuan was suddenly cut off, many business travelers were stranded in the posthouse. Naturally, they were anxious and complained again and again.

Not many people know exactly what happened. Even if there are bold people who run to the south to take a look, they will be stopped by officers and soldiers, telling them that "there are troops and horses mobilized at Shiling Pass to attack the Khitan from the north, and passage is prohibited."

As for more, the officers and soldiers had no reason and did not bother to inform them.

In early March, the second floor of a restaurant was filled with business travelers. Among them, a man in his fifties wearing a felt hat sat by the window, holding a wine bottle in his hand and lazily looking at the sky.

There was a long sword on his waist, which was gently swung by his other hand, and knocked on the window coffin, making a soft "tuk-tuk" sound.

If anyone listens carefully, the sound is actually rich in rhythm. It turns out that the merchant composed a smooth tune at random.

He recalled the scene when he came to Jinzhong in the 23rd year of Kaiyuan, his thoughts were flying, and he murmured silently: "The breeze blew the songs into the sky, and the songs flew around the clouds."

suddenly.

"Stop him!" a shout came from the long street.

Following this sound, a young man ran out of the alley, followed by the officers who were rounding up him.

The young man collided with a man carrying dung and water, and casually picked up a dung bucket and hit an official on the head. There was a loud "bang", and then another fight broke out.

Seeing this, the merchants in the restaurant twirled their long beards, squinted their eyes, and looked around. They saw that the young man was wearing a pair of deerskin military boots. The robe he was wearing was very dirty, but he could still tell that it was a military robe.

.

The merchant then stood up and strode downstairs.

Someone among the drinkers still eating and drinking on the second floor complained.
