Chapter 31: Do you drive a tiger and swallow a wolf?

To be honest, Yan Qing was a little confused!

The news came very suddenly, and Li Yanqing was not mentally prepared at all, and he was inevitably a little confused for a moment.

Fortunately, his life in two lifetimes and nearly sixty years has given him super self-control.

In the flash of lightning, Yan Qing returned to his former calmness and his brain began to run quickly. While digesting the news, he thought about various possible situations.

Zhang Xutuo, dead!

Li Yanqing couldn't explain clearly, should he be happy or sad.

However, he understood that Zhang Xutuo's death would definitely bring extraordinary turmoil to Xingyang. For him, in the next days, he would face the threat of Wagang Village. How could the various interests in this be calculated immediately?

"Wuji, where is Guanyin Bi?"

"My sister just heard something happened, so she went back!"

Changsun Wugui is a very eye-catching little girl. Although she really wanted to be alone with Yan Qing for a while, she knew that after such a big thing happened, Li Yanqing would definitely not be able to stay in the fort. So, she quietly left and returned to her residence to give Yan Qing a larger space.

Mrs. Gao was very satisfied with Wugui's reaction.

If you are celebrating, you will feel a strong feeling of guilt...

"Yan Qing, since this is the case, you should go back to Gong County as soon as possible."

Li Yanqing wanted to say goodbye to Wugui, but after thinking about it, he stopped this idea.

"Mom, please tell Guanyin maid, and say that when I finish my work, I will accompany her to Shaolin Temple to worship Buddha."

Mrs. Gao showed a warm smile and nodded in agreement.

Li Yanqing and Changsun Wuji did not dare to delay and immediately prepared to set off.

But just as they were about to go out, Mrs. Gao suddenly called Yan Qing aside.

"Yan Qing, after you go back, you must pay more attention to Yang Qing's movements."

This sentence made Li Yanqing a little difficult to understand, so he looked at Mrs. Gao in confusion, as if he wanted to ask about the meaning of this sentence.

Yang Qing!

What moves can he have?

You know, although Li Yanqing is not very eye-catching about Yang Qing, no matter what, Yang Qing is his superior, and the kind of concern for the people he shows is real. He is not capable, but he is willing to consider the people. For example, this time, he took the initiative to ask Yan Qing to reopen the porridge shed and raise charity funds, which made Li Yanqing look at him with admiration, and his senses were also very good.

Mrs. Gao said: "I have some understanding of Yang Qing.

This person is a common person, but his character is... but he is hundreds of times stronger than many people who are in corpse positions. However, he is timid by nature and not very strong. This may be influenced by his father, Wang Yanghong, who is cautious in his work and a little unstable... When your teacher was alive, he once said that Yang Qing was not like a clan member and was too moved by the wind. If there was any movement, he would definitely be shaken.

I am worried that Zhang Xutuo's death in this battle will inevitably have a huge impact on Yang Qing. If not done well..."

Li Yanqing frowned: What if it doesn’t work?

Yang Qing is a royal family after all, and His Highness Xun is a dignified prince. Could he surrender?

Although he was not willing to believe it, he could never stop this idea as soon as it appeared. With Yang Qing's timid nature, he might really do something to surrender. Li Yanqing didn't know much about important officials in the court. Although Mrs. Gao had been away from Luoyang for many years, Changsun Sheng had been in it for many years and had definitely understood some secret matters of the court more thoroughly.

Thinking of this, Li Yanqing suddenly burst into a cold sweat.

He replied respectfully: "I have recorded it, and I will definitely pay more attention to King Xun."

"Okay, there's only so much I can help you. Go back and do things quickly... Be careful in everything and don't be arrogant."

Yan Qing bowed to the teachings, hurriedly left the fort, boarded his horse, and rushed back to Gong County with Changsun Wuji.

When Mrs. Gao climbed to the gatehouse of the fort, she saw Changsun Wugui standing at the corner of the gatehouse, secretly looking at Yan Qing and his group's backs.

Suddenly, my heart felt a lot of emotion.

This man is like this... Isn't Changsun Sheng like this whenever he went on a war? Now it's Yan Qing, the person who leans against the door will become someone else.

Thinking of this, Mrs. Gao felt a little sad...

On October 27, the 12th year of Daye, Zhai Rang led 80,000 troops and sent troops to Niuzhukou.

Since Jindi Pass was captured, Zhai Rang completely destroyed the Juan Cave of Jindi Pass when he retreated, which also made this hundreds of years of heroic pass in name only. As a result, Niuzhukou became the most cutting-edge position at Hulao Pass and was also the only barrier at Hulao Pass.

Zhang Xutuo returned shortly after he won the victory, how could he be afraid of Zhai Rang?

The previous series of great victories also made Zhang Xutuo look down on the Wagang Army.

Now that Zhai Rang has come to him, he cannot retreat for both public and private purposes. After all, this time he leans against Xingyang, so he doesn't have to worry about food, grass and supplies, and he can give it a try.

However, before going to the battle, Zhang Xutuo still inquired about Li Mi's news.

Li Yanqing sent someone to send him a letter, and said in the letter: Li Mi is as cunning as a fox and as cruel as a jackal. The general is a hero in the world, so he is naturally fearless. But you must know that it is easy to hide from the open gun, but it is difficult to prevent the hidden arrows. If the general goes to fight, please pay more attention to Li Mi's movements.

In fact, no matter whether Li Mi is here or not, Zhang Xutuo cannot give in.

But since Yan Qing reminded him, it was also out of good intentions. Zhang Xutuo still sent someone to inquire, but after learning that Li Mi did not show up, he felt even more fearless.

The two sides confronted Banzhu on the west bank of Tongji Canal, and the battle was extremely tragic.

Zhai Rang had an absolute advantage in military strength, while Zhang Xutuo had the advantage of the right time, place and people, and was even more fearless. The Bafeng Camp was launched, and the Wagang Army attacked. From noon to evening, they only killed the Tongjiqu River waters turned red, corpses were everywhere, and blood drifted with masts and oars.

In the end, the Wagang Army could not resist the fierce Bafeng Camp.

After losing troops and losing generals, the entire army was defeated. Zhai Rang led his troops to flee, how could Zhang Xutuo let him slip away?

At this time, the Eight Wind Camp, which had won a great victory, was full of faith in decisive victory. Zhang Xutuo even forgot that Yan Qing mentioned in the letter: Don’t chase the enemy.

Chasing from Banzhu to Dahai Temple, Zhai Rang was about to be captured alive.

Suddenly, two troops emerged from the woods on both sides of Dahai Temple, cutting off the Bafeng Camp in half. Although the Bafeng Camp in Xingyang is brave, it is not as well-trained as the Bafeng Camp formed by Zhang Xutuo when he was in Qi County. The Bafeng Camp in Qi County is a brave and brave army. Since the eighth year of Daye, I don’t know how many times I have fought with Shandong bandits, and I have already been trained to be in chaos.

However, the Bafeng Camp in Xingyang was established in less than two months from the time it took to attack.

And the battles I have experienced are only a few times. When you win, you can move forward bravely; once you encounter danger, you will immediately lose your position.

At the same time, Zhai Rang returned to join the battle.

The Eight Wind Camp only resisted for a moment and became a defeated army. Zhang Xutuo had already broken through the siege, but found that the 800 personal soldiers he brought from Qi County were besieged by the Wagang Army, so he went back to rescue his subordinates. But it was easy to get in, but it would be difficult to kill them! The Wagang Army surrounded and intercepted them layer by layer, and Zhang Xutuo was hit by dozens of arrows... If Luo Shixin had not tried his best to rescue him, he would have died on the spot.

But even after he broke out from the siege, Zhang Xutuo was seriously injured and returned to the Huzhu.

Before his death, he instructed Luo Shixin to ask Luo Shixin to take the 500 surviving personal soldiers to join Li Yanqing in Gong County. He was seriously injured and died that night...

Li Yanqing looked at Luo Shixin wearing mourning clothes in front of him, and couldn't tell whether it was sad or happy.

Sadly, Zhang Xutuo died just like this! But happy that Zhang Xutuo actually entrusted Luo Shi's trust to him before he died, which was more or less beyond his expectations.

It is undeniable that Yan Qing is very loving to Qin and Luo under Zhang Xutuo.

However, Zhang Xutuo also valued these two people very much, so Yan Qing could not force others to do anything. Now, Luo Shixin has been sent to the door automatically, and with Zhang Xutuo's will there, how could Li Yanqing let this powerful general go? But on his face, Yan Qing naturally would not express this emotion. He sat in the main seat, picked up the red-stemmed white-feathered arrow placed on the long table, and frowned.

At first glance, this seems to be no different from ordinary kei.

But when you put it in your hand, you can feel the weight of this sharp arrow. It is slightly heavier than the Sui army's standard arrow and is also two inches longer.

Those who use this kind of arrow should be a master who can pull out two stones or even three stones strong bows.

However, the arrowheads contain blood and appear a dark color. Generally speaking, there is only one explanation for such a situation, two words: poisonous arrows!

"Zhang Tongshou was killed by this poisonous arrow?"

Li Yanqing raised his head and asked in a deep voice.

Luo Shixin's words were trembling, "Dahai Temple was attacked, General Zhang was hit by seventeen arrows.

Among them, three of these poisonous arrows were shot in the shape of a font... so that General Zhang died after retreating to Hulao Pass."

Li Yanqing closed his eyes, and in a flash, the scene of Zhang Xutuo being caught in an arrow appeared in his mind.

"Sanxing Pearl!"

He whispered: "I didn't expect that there was such a brilliant archer in Wagang Village."

Li Yanqing himself is a master of archery skills, how could he not perceive the technique of this archer? He pondered for a moment, and seemed to say to himself: "If we use archery theory, the most wisest archery among ant thieves should be Wang Bo. Yongsanlang, if he was not this person, he would not be able to shoot and kill Zhang Tongshou... However, the use of poison on the arrow is definitely not done by a hero. Wang Bo is not a man."

"Wang Bodang, is the one who shot and killed Wei Sima?"

"It's this person!"

Luo Shixin heard this and clenched his fists angrily.

In the chaos, he didn't know who shot Zhang Xutuo with this poisonous arrow. Now that he got the answer from Yan Qing, he couldn't help but roar: "Wang Bodang, I swear to kill you!"

To Luo Shixin, Zhang Xutuo was not only his superior, but also like a kind father.

He was born in a poor family in Licheng. His parents died early and made a living by herding cattle for others. Later, the Qi County was in chaos and bandits were everywhere. Luo Shixin's cattle were also killed by the rebels. In anger, he went to join the army. When he joined the army, he was only fourteen years old. According to the Sui army system, only 210 years old could join the army. Luo Shixin was not old enough, so he was naturally rejected and clashed with the recruits.

Luo Shixin was born with great strength. When he was a teenager, he had the ability to be divided into two greats.

However, he was a child after all, so how could he be the opponent of a group of adults? Seeing that Zhang Xutuo was suffering, Zhang Xutuo passed by and saw Luo Shixin's bravery and suddenly became a loving talent. He made an exception and summoned Luo Shixin to the army and served as Zhang Xutuo's personal soldier. Zhang Xutuo was useless to say that. Not only did he give him a place to settle down, but he also taught all his life's learning to Luo Shixin.

So when he learned about the murderer who killed Zhang Xutuo, how could he hold back?

Yan Qing said: "Shi Xin, don't do this. General Zhang entrusts you to me, and I will definitely not sit idly by. Now that I already know who the murderer is, it will be easier... Sooner or later, I will ask you to avenge General Zhang and cut this beast into pieces."

"If this beast can be killed, the scholar will be loyal and willing to be the king of the palace and serve as a servant."

Luo Shixin cried bitterly on the ground, and Yan Qing quickly stood up and helped him up.
