- Chapter 479: Things I didn¡¯t plan for
Fengcheng guard Liu Han would go around the four city gates every morning as a routine. This was a habit he had developed when he was the Prime Minister of Fengcheng County. It's just that most of his original subordinates have died in the battle. Although there are more subordinates now, not many respect him. During the Battle of Fengcheng that year, Li Yuanshan's generals led tens of thousands of troops to attack the city. He and the county governor led 1,500 county soldiers and people to the city to resist. The rebels attacked fiercely for six days without breaking.
Later, Li Yuanshan arrived in person and angrily said outside the city wall that he would massacre the city if he did not surrender.
By this time, most of the county soldiers in the city had been killed, and even thousands of young people had died. The governor sighed deeply, bowed in the direction of Chang'an City, and then jumped off the city wall and fell to his death on the spot. Liu Han looked at the corpse of the county guard under the city and cried loudly. After a long time, he ordered the door to be opened and surrendered.
After Li Yuanshan entered the city, he forced the young and strong people to join the army and let Liu Han train. The people initially thought that Liu Han was forced to surrender, but no one expected that Liu Han did not refuse Li Yuanshan's order, took up the post of Fengcheng County Governor, and then really devoted himself to training troops for Li Yuanshan.
Since then, the people in Fengcheng have secretly scolded him.
Just over half a month ago, Li Yuanshan sent people to transfer most of the rebels in Fengcheng, leaving only a few thousand people to guard Fengcheng.
After the army was transferred, Liu Han continued as before. In the morning, he first went to inspect the city gates, then returned to the county governor's house to handle official duties. In the afternoon, he made sure to go to the military camp.
His confidant Liu Fu was the steward of his family, and he couldn't help but feel a pang in his heart when he saw Liu Han's gray hair that had obviously increased in the past two years.
¡°No one in this city understands the Lord¡¯s painstaking efforts.
"My lord, is this battle almost over?"
He followed behind and asked cautiously.
Liu Han, who was walking in front, paused when he heard these words, and then shook his head: "Maybe"
No one from the people passing by him saluted him, not even two people said hello. Liu Fu became angry when he saw it, and snorted coldly: "These guys really don't know what's good or bad. If you hadn't tried so hard to protect them in the past few years, would they have lived such a peaceful life today?"
"I just want to make myself feel better."
Liu Han said as he walked: "The people still yearn for the Sui Dynasty. This is a good thing."
Liu Fudao: "When your Excellency agreed to Li Yuanshan's military training, you were not afraid of causing trouble for the people of Fengcheng because of your rejection of Li Yuanshan. Your Excellency has trained them with all your heart over the years, so why don't you let them master more things that can save their lives on the battlefield? It's just that Your Excellency None of these white-eyed wolves understand the painstaking efforts. They also don't think about it. Li Yuanshan forced them to join the army just to let them die on the battlefield. Instead of perfunctory, he trained them rigorously, just to make them more capable on the battlefield in the future. A little chance of survival. These idiots don¡¯t know anything.¡±
"It's not a bad thing that the people are simpler at heart. However, I train them harshly not just to save their lives"
Liu Han didn¡¯t talk much as always. He smiled at every citizen he passed by, but received blank stares one after another.
He didn¡¯t care. When he walked to the west gate, he told people not to check the people coming in and out, and to ignore those who came in and those who went out. This is a bit confusing, and I don¡¯t understand what the adults mean.
At this moment, a trumpet sound suddenly sounded from the city wall. Liu Han's expression changed and he ran quickly along the horse path to the city wall. With the sound of the horn, the originally lazy defenders on the city wall became nervous. Everyone grabbed their weapons, and the archer placed the quiver within easy reach at his feet, pulled out one and placed it on the string, staring at the dust and smoke floating outside the city.
The city gate began to close, and Liu Han stood on the city wall and shouted to the people outside, asking them to enter the city immediately. The people ran towards the city in panic, and even those who left the city immediately turned around and came back.
"Sir, the person coming here is flying the flying wolf flag!"
After putting down the clairvoyance with the watcher's hand, your Excellency will report.
Liu Han frowned: "Why are the Meng Yuan people here?"
He told the soldiers to be on alert, but they were not allowed to fire arrows without orders.
Not long after, the cavalry outside the city stopped about 200 meters away from the city gate. Then two or three cavalry separated from the team and urged their horses to outside the city gate. One of the cavalrymen raised his head and shouted to the city wall: "Open the city gate quickly. We have been ordered by General Bai Huo to rush to Xiangcheng to see the special agent. If you block the journey, consider the consequences for yourself."
The person who spoke was speaking Chinese, but it was obviously a bit awkward.
Liu Han stood on the city wall and looked carefully at the people outside with his clairvoyance, his frown getting deeper and deeper. After a while, heHe turned around and walked down the city: "Open the city gate a crack. I want to go out and see for myself."
Liu Fu and others were afraid that something might happen to him and followed him, but Liu Han waved his hand to indicate that he didn't want to do it. In the city gate hole, dozens of soldiers opened the city gate to a gap, and people blocked it there. If anything happened, the city gate could be closed immediately. Liu Han squeezed out from the gap, straightened his clothes, and strode away towards the cavalry.
Liu Fu stood on the city wall and watched nervously, his palms full of sweat. He ordered the soldiers who were loyal to Liu Han to be ready to go out at any time.
He watched Liu Han walk to the front of the cavalry team, chatted with the leader of the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty for a while, then turned back, waving to open the city gate as he walked. Liu Fu quickly gave the order, and then went down to the city with his soldiers to pick up Liu Han. After the city gate was opened, the Meng Yuan people and their slave retinues urged their horses to enter the city gate, and went directly to the east gate without stopping. Liu Han asked his cronies to go to the east gate to inform them, and told the east gate defenders not to stop them.
Watching the cavalry of three thousand people passing by, Liu Fu spat and cursed: "These barbarians will die a good death sooner or later!"
"no¡¡"
Liu Han smiled slightly, put his hands behind his back and walked forward.
¡°Sir, what do you mean it¡¯s not?¡±
Liu Fu chased after him and asked.
Liu Han saw that there were no outsiders following him, so he smiled and said, "Don't you see that those cavalrymen are not Mengyuan people at all."
"ah?"
Liu Fu was stunned for a moment: "I really didn't notice it. How did you know, sir?"
"I felt there was something wrong when we were on the city wall. Those parked outside the city gate were at least two hundred meters away, out of the range of archers. Haha If they were Mongolian people, would they be so careful? In the past three years, Mongolians have The Yuan people are used to being domineering in our northwest, and although the Mongolian Yuan people's cavalry is powerful, they rarely form a queue when marching. Think about what it was like when the cavalry stopped before, especially the rear team. The standard swallow-tail formation can be attacked or retreated. "
"Your Excellency, you are aware of everything!"
Liu Fu praised it heartily.
"That's not all. Although the two men leading the team are wearing Mongolian robes, and one of them with beards is somewhat similar to the Mongolian people, the difference is that his eyes are not black, as are the eyes of most cavalrymen. None of them are black. Although the appearance of the Meng Yuan people is very different from that of the Han people, their eyes are black. Therefore, it is not difficult to guess the origin of these people Prince Xu organized troops to fight against the Meng Nu in Langru Mountain. With the rebels, Wan Yanyong, a great Han man from Northern Liao, sent cold cavalry to assist in the battle. Seventy-eight of these people were cavalry from Northern Liao. "
Liu Fu was shocked: "Then what are they going to do? Do they want to sneak attack Li Yuanshan's retreat? Impossible. How can there be such courage with only three or four thousand people? Even if they are so bold, they cannot succeed. ¡±
"I have no idea."
Liu Han said: "But I know we should let them pass. That's enough."
As he walked, he asked in a low voice: "Is the Great Sui Dragon Flag I asked you to prepare ready?"
"Don't worry, my lord, the thirty dragon flags have been prepared a long time ago and are hidden in my subordinate's home. When my lord gives the order, my subordinate will lead people to cut down the rebel flags and replace them with the Great Sui Dragon Flag."
"Um"
Liu Han nodded: "I guess it won't be too long, right? Your Majesty is marching in person, and the army has already reached a place less than three hundred miles away from Xiangcheng. Li Yuanshan keeps moving troops from the rear, proving that the pressure on the battlefield ahead is Great. The imperial army has won consecutive battles, and its morale is like a rainbow. The end of the rebels is not far away!"
Hearing these words, Liu Fu's eyes were filled with joy: "My subordinates have been looking forward to this day for three years!"
Liu Han patted him on the shoulder: "After all, I am a subject of the Sui Dynasty and your Majesty's minister. I must do something. Once the imperial army surrounds Xiangcheng, I will be the first to raise the dragon flag. Every city in the northwest There are many people who share my thoughts, and as long as someone takes the lead, people from all over the world will surely respond.¡±
He raised his head, took a deep breath, and looked at the dazzling sun.
Tears flowed down his face.
Liu Fu looked at the adult¡¯s behavior in confusion, thinking that the sunlight stung his eyes, right?

After leaving Fengcheng, Wanyan Zhongde couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief, and then looked at Fang Jie and laughed: "I really didn't expect that it came so smoothly. Your idea is really good. I thought about it when I wasn't doing it. It is extremely dangerous. After leaving the city, I will think about how I came here so easily. None of the rebels guarding the city have good eyesight But it is no wonder that the Meng Yuan people are used to being domineering, and the rebels are used to it. I don¡¯t dare to provoke him.¡±
He smiled very freely and was obviously in a very good moodgood.
But after he finished speaking, there was no answer. Wanyan Zhongde looked at Fang Jie and saw that Fang Jie looked back at Fengcheng, thoughtfully.
"What are you thinking about?"
Wanyan Zhongde asked.
Fang Jie took off the beard on his lips and stared at the flying wolf flag still held by the soldiers for a long time: "Wrong."
"wrong?"
Wanyan Zhongde is puzzled.
Fang Jie nodded: "That's wrong, it's not that the rebels didn't find us, it's that they let us come here on purpose."
He asked someone to remove the Flying Wolf Flag, and after a moment of silence he said, "Do you know what's the biggest flaw in Fengcheng if you want to hide it from the rebels?"
He pointed at his eyes: "It's the eyes. You people in the Northern Liao region all have blue eyes, and the Meng Yuan barbarians have black eyes. I thought of it before, but I didn't say it. This time I bet on Shou. Will the rebels in the city be negligent? But when Liu Han came out of the city and stared at me and your eyes for a few times, I knew that he had seen through us. But he did not say anything, but immediately sent people to attack the city. The door openednot because we were lucky, but because we met a guard who was not of the same mind as the rebels. "
"on purpose?"
Wanyan Zhongde was startled, and then asked: "Then he did it on purpose. He let us go because he was afraid of hurting him. Will he send someone to contact the rebels immediately after we leave the city?"
"Won't"
Fang Jie shook his head, extremely determined.
"Why?"
Wanyan Zhongde said: "It's better to be more careful."
Fang Jie looked back at Fengcheng again, seemingly looking for the old man who smiled at him before.
"Because he is a Sui man, his eyes told me that."
Fang Jie breathed a sigh of relief and pointed his horse whip forward: "Speed ??up and rush forward. There will be no rebels stationed for at least 270 miles ahead. We can't waste any time!"
"drive"
He knocked on the red horse. The red horse screamed twice in excitement, spread its hooves and rushed forward.
Fang Jie rode his horse while recalling the meaning in Liu Han¡¯s eyes when he saw him. Then a smile slowly began to form on the corner of his mouth, which was filled with joy without any impurities.
"Li Yuanshan You have calculated everything, and you have calculated all the mechanisms, but there is still one thing you have not calculated. This thing may be enough to make it difficult for you to stand up again."
He thought in his heart, his eyes bright. - Didn't finish reading? Add this book to your favoritesI'm a member and bookmarked this chapterCopy the address of this book and recommend it to your friends for pointsChapter error? Click here to report
