Chapter 46: Beacon Fire Even March (3)(1/2)
Chapter 46: The war is for three months (three)
Having been under house arrest for nearly a year, it is unknown how much Chai Xiaohe has left for Li Mi.
However, after all, Chai Xiaohe was a little worried about Li Mi for many years. But what is the use of worry? He is now imprisoned in the small space of the county government, and even if he is willing to give advice for Li Mi, he will find it difficult to make a difference. From the slaves around him to the gate of the county government, everyone is Li Yanqing. Although there are two old slaves around his wife, it is unknown how effective it can be. Even if those two slaves go out, there will be someone following them and cannot convey the news. And whether they are willing to risk their lives to feed Chai Xiaohe and do things? It is still a mystery! You must know that Li Yanqing attaches great importance to them.
Therefore, Chai Xiaohe could only worry about Li Mi secretly...
"If the mansion king removes the firewood from the bottom of the cauldron, aren't he afraid that Li Mi will burn his boat?"
That night, Chai Xiaohe found Wang Jun.
Wang Jun asked back with a smile: "In the opinion of Mr. Chai, will Li Mi break his head and go to the boat?"
Does he have that courage?
Chai Xiaohe smiled bitterly and shook his head and said, "Mr. Mi is born with nature, and he will move after planning.
When he assisted Duke Chu, if he had such courage, Duke Chu might not have been defeated. But this time, he came out in full swing, and I'm afraid there would be a fierce battle in Black Stone Pass."
Wang said: "Fierce battles are inevitable, but they will not last long.
If Li Mi knew that my lord had cut off the firewood from the pot, what would he choose?"
"I must change the way..."
Chai Xiaohe said this and suddenly stopped.
He looked at Wang Xu, his eyes showed an incredible look and said softly: "If this is true, Li Fujun can still work with him."
"Haha, where to go, let's see if Gongxian's surname is still Li after the two Li fights."
Wang Jun's words gave Chai Xiao and a chance to choose. Although Li Mi is powerful, my lord is not bad either. When things come to this point, after the battle of Black Stone Pass ends, you have to make a choice! Otherwise, the lord may not be able to continue to tolerate you.
Chai Xiaohe couldn't help but feel silent when he heard this...
The next morning, Li Yanqing led his troops to Heishi Pass.
Heishi Pass was already tense at this time, and a tense aura of war was coming. After Du Ruhui rushed back to Heishi Pass overnight, he immediately issued an order to prepare for war. The Sui army stationed in Heishi Pass had two regiments of soldiers and horses, about 1,200. Since Wang Fubao stayed in Gong County, before Li Yanqing arrived, Heishi Pass was in charge of the two regiments of soldiers and horses, with Su Yong assisting.
This is also the result of Yan Qing's secret order.
Originally, Su Yong's rank was higher than Luo Shixin.
But after all, he is old and may be a good player in training troops, but when it comes to charging, he is not as brave as Luo Shixin.
The so-called military commander, in many cases, is a position similar to a staff officer.
Su Yong himself was not a strong person, so after discussing with Li Yanqing, he became Luo Shixin's deputy and assisted Luo Shixin in rectifying military affairs.
As soon as Li Yanqing got off the horse, Luo Shixin ran to the front.
He knelt on one knee and bowed his head and said, "Mr. Luo Shixin asked for a fight."
Luo Shixin and Li Mi had a deep hatred. He respected Zhang Xutuo very much, and Zhang Xutuo died at the hands of Li Mi. He hated Li Mi to the core. Now that Li Mi's army is invading the territory, others may feel panic, but in Luo Shixin's view, this is a good opportunity for him to take revenge.
Li Yanqing knew Luo Shixin’s thoughts very well, so he reached out to help him up.
"Brother Luo, when you defected to me, I promised you that you would give you a chance to avenge you... Now, this opportunity has come!"
After saying that, he straightened up and looked around to the people around him.
"Li Mi, a traitor!"
Yan Qing suddenly shouted loudly: "The world says that Li Mi is powerful, but I think he is like a native chicken and a tiled dog. The boys, you are born and raised in Gong County, are all blind dates by me, Li Yanqing. You should understand how Li is, and I don't want to say more.
What I want to tell you is that if Li Mi breaks through Heishi Pass, Gong County will be the first to be affected.
Behind this Black Stone Pass is your home, where your parents, wives and children live. I only ask you, would you like to see your home is ruined, your children are displaced, and your wives are ravaged by traitors?"
When the Black Stone was closed, he was silent immediately!
Suddenly, Liang Houshi shouted loudly: "Kill Li Ni and protect my home!"
"Kill Li Ni and protect my home..."
"Li Fujun, we are willing to fight to the death to defend our homeland. Please give orders to the general."
The shouts resounded through the sky of Black Stone Pass for a long time.
Li Yanqing laughed when he heard this, "It's true. Since ancient times, people have always said that elite soldiers come from secluded places. Today we want those traitors to know that Xingyang is also a gathering place for the elites of the world. My Black Stone Pass is full of heroes who are not afraid of death!
My home is also in Gong County.
My two fiancées live in the fort outside Gongxian Town. Heishi Pass is broken, and my family is broken. Therefore, I will fight with my children to the battlefield, so that those traitors who are shit know that only the people of Gongxian who died in battle will never surrender!”
"Li Wudi!" "Li Wudi..."
In an instant, the Black Stone Guard Mansion was filled with enthusiasm and the crowds were filled with people.
Li Yanqing shouted loudly: "Everyone, collect the weapons and prepare to go to war with me."
After saying that, he took Luo Shixin and others to strode into the Guard Mansion. The shouts of soldiers kept coming from behind, which made people excited.
"Lord, the morale of the army is available!"
After entering the lobby, Du Ruhui praised loudly.
Li Yanqing had a gloomy face and said softly: "Although the morale of the army is available, the military strength is very different. Lao Du, I will lead the troops personally and Shi Xin will accompany me when I attack. I will leave a group of people and stationed at Heishi Pass. Shi Xin and I led 800 people and immediately rushed to Jiushanzhai to help.
But I don’t know how long Jiushan can support you. You need to be prepared for a bloody battle at Black Stone Pass.
It is estimated that the reinforcements in Gongxian County will arrive here at the latest tomorrow evening. I will leave all the military power to you, so be sure to make all preparations."
Du Ruhui took a step forward, "June of the Mansion, just be at ease, and Lao Du will fulfill his mission."
"Also, you can send someone to the Qilin Pavilion immediately and transfer everyone to Gongxian Town. If Heishi Pass is lost, Gongxian can support it for some time. In addition, pay more attention to the movements in Luoyang. I guess if Jishan Prefecture is destroyed, Luoyang will take action within three days."
Du Ruhui nodded in agreement, and Li Yanqing gave up his worries.
He had confidence in Du Ruhui and believed that Du Ruhui could arrange everything properly.
Yan Qing went to Jiushan Village this time and almost took away most of the troops from Heishi Pass. In addition to a group of over-organized troops, there were also three hundred Mo Qilins who would accompany him to fight. Eight hundred people, plus seven hundred people from Jiushan Village, a total of 1,500 people. It is not impossible to match the terrain of Jiushan Village to block Li Mi's tens of thousands of troops. As long as Du Ruhui could send the supplementary troops to Jiushan in time, Li Yanqing was even confident to defeat Li Mi's troops in Jiushan. However, Wang Shichong did not need to restrain this.
Will Wang Shichong restrain him?
The answer is obvious...
After thinking about it, Yan Qing couldn't help but complain: If you don't do it well, you will be afraid that you will have a hard battle with Wang Shichong under the Black Stone Pass.
How can we prevent Wang Shichong from confronting him and prevent him from entering Xingyang County?
Li Yanqing's ideas have begun to work rapidly, thinking about the next countermeasures.
At noon, Su Yong ordered his troops.
Li Yanqing was dressed neatly, stepped on the elephant dragon horse, and led his two black and white evil spirits, Xiong Kuohai, Kan Ling, and Luo Shixin to lead his troops to get out of seclusion.
But before Yan Qing's men could leave the seclusion, he blocked his way.
"General, a group of people came from Jiushan, and were approaching the ferry quickly."
"Can you see the flag clearly?"
"I haven't seen the flag..."
A bad omen suddenly arose in Li Yanqing's heart.
People coming from Jiushan?
At this time, from Jiushan, there could only be two groups of soldiers. One was Maizizhong from Jiushan Village, and the other...
Li Yanqing immediately dismounted and hurriedly climbed the city tower with Luo Shixin and others. Standing on the city gate tower, he put on a canopy in his hand and looked into the distance.
While looking, he also asked: "Can you see clearly, how many people are there?"
"When I found out, the distance was too close, and I didn't observe it clearly. However, it was roughly estimated that it should be close to a thousand people."
Thousands of people...
Li Yanqing felt even more uneasy.
He wanted to continue asking, but he heard Xiong Kuohai shouting behind him: "Young master, they are here!"
Yan Qing quickly looked up and saw a man appearing at the end of the official road and quickly running towards the Black Stone Pass. The two generals led by the leader were all holding spears and staining their clothes with blood. As the gate got closer and closer, Xiong Kuohai shouted again: "Isn't that Mr. Mai?"
Without Xiong Kuohai speaking, Li Yanqing also recognized the identity of the person.
"Open the city gate immediately."
Yan Qing hurried down the city tower, stepped onto the war horse again, and led his troops out of the city gate.
He didn't want to kill Mai Zizhong, but was worried that Mai Zizhong would follow him. In that case, chaos would occur at the city gate, and the pursuers would conquer Heishi Pass in one fell swoop. At the same time, Li Yanqing also had some concerns... Will Mai Zizhong surrender?
In this year, loyalty is a very rare quality.
Zhang Xutuo attaches great importance to Qin Qiong, but in the end, Qin Qiong surrendered to Li Mi.
Li Yanqing believed in his heart that Mai Zizhong would not surrender. However, in his actions, he had to go a little more. People's hearts are hard to predict!
Three hundred ink unicorns set off in an instant.
Li Yanqing and Luo Shixin took the lead and blocked each other's way.
"Maizizhong, why are you back?"
To be continued...
