Great Wei Nengchen

"Come here with your ears, I have a plan to tell you!" Xiao Yi called a few people, and began to whisper, while speaking, he let out a sinister smile...

The next day, a gossip suddenly spread in the barracks, and spread all over the streets and alleys of Yanmen Pass at an extremely fast speed, "The Xiongnu army is about to go south in a big way, and the soldiers are pointing at Yanmen Pass!"

202.Chapter 202 Gossip is so bad

A lie told three times is the truth!

And if the rumors spread for three days, the original content will be exaggerated countless times!

On the first day, the rumors in Yanmen Pass were like this, "Have you heard? The Xiongnu Shanyu' Yu Fuluo' is going to lead tens of thousands of cavalry to attack Yanmen Pass, and the army has already assembled on the Hetao Grassland!"

The next day, the rumors became like this: "Do you know? The Xiongnu Da Shanyu sent more than [-] soldiers to the south to fight Yanmen Pass. It is said that the vanguard is less than a hundred miles away, and the dust and smoke raised by horseshoes can I saw..."

On the third day, "the exact news is that the Hun Shanyu not only mobilized all his troops, but also contacted the Wuwan people, Xianbei people, Donghu people, and people from the Western Regions, with a total of 60 to [-] troops, and came to Yanmen Pass in a mighty way." Yes, the vanguard has already arrived outside the pass. My second uncle's third uncle's sister-in-law's brother-in-law saw it when he went to sell vegetables outside the city. If he hadn't run fast with a load of vegetables, he would almost have been captured by the Huns , It’s really suspenseful!..."

The ability of ordinary people to spread gossip is infinite, just like a snowball, one person adds a little bit, and finally becomes a huge monster, and the story is made up with a nose and eyes, and the credibility is extremely high. When Xiao Yi heard the rumors that came back, he felt They were all taken aback, and they almost went to battle immediately. It took a long time before they remembered, didn't they just make up this rumor?But it sounds so real now...

For a while, people in Yanmen Pass were panic-stricken. Rich and wealthy merchants fled with their families. Those who had no money and could not escape hid at home and burned incense and prayed for God’s protection. , Social security suddenly became chaotic.

People still remember that last year the Huns broke through the Yanmen Gate and swept through several counties in the northern part of Bingzhou, looting tens of thousands of people and losing countless property. The wolf is here again, what should I do?Is it war?escape?

Who can hold up the sky of Yanmen Pass?

Another person who can't sit still is Mu Shun, the chief general of Yanmen Pass. Ever since Zhang Yang gave him the position of chief general, this gentleman has immediately started to shake, talking about pomp and prestige everywhere, as for withholding rations and whipping soldiers. It's a family reform, as the saying goes, 'There are no tigers in the mountains, monkeys rule the king', in Yanmen Pass, he is the heavenly king and Lao Tzu. Of course, life would be better without that guy named Xiao Yi.

For the Xuanjia Army, Mu Shun loves and hates it. What he loves is that this army is trained quickly, well-equipped, and extremely powerful in combat. If he can get this in his hands, he will be more confident in what he wants to do in the future. What I hate is that this team is like an iron plate, no matter how hard he tries, he just can't penetrate it.

Mu Shun also used various methods to buy him off. From Ma Liu down, he invited guests, gave gifts, and some beauties, but these people took all the gifts, but they didn't know anything about it. He has never done it, and when he encounters something that can be pushed, he can be pushed, and he can be delayed. His warrant is not as good as a piece of toilet paper in the Xuanjia Army.

"Don't listen to me, okay, I'll replace it." Mu Shun also thought about using the method of mixing sand to arrange some of his cronies in the Xuanjia Army, but these people disappeared without a trace as soon as they went. They all vanished from the world, sent someone to inquire, but they didn’t know what to ask, as if these people had never appeared before, but the wild dogs in the barren graves outside Yanmen Pass were barking very happily these days, as if they had tasted a big meal , Since then, the soldiers around Mu Shun have been beaten to death and dare not go to the Xuanjia Army again. If they go, they will just feed the dogs.

If one plan fails, another plan is made. Serving as a soldier eats food. If there is no food, you can’t serve as a soldier. Mu Shun cut off the military rations of the Xuanjia Army cruelly. You should be honest if you are hungry, but Ma Liu brought a group The brothers directly smashed the Yanmen grain storehouse and stole even more. Mu Shun didn't dare to take care of it. If there was a mutiny, who would be able to suppress it?

The helpless Mu Shun had no choice but to resign himself to his fate. Since he couldn't control it, from now on, "into the water and not offending the river" will always be the case; fortunately, although the uncles of the Xuanjia Army are domineering, their military discipline is very strict, and they never go out to take the initiative to cause trouble Moreover, the incident of harassing the common people has never happened before, but it saved him a lot of worry!

But this time, Xiao Yi must be invited. Everyone knows that among the Yanmen garrison, the Xuanjia Army is the most domineering, bravest, and best equipped. Now that the Huns are attacking in large numbers, they have to rely on them if they want to defend the city It was all right, so a letter was sent directly to the Xuanjia Army camp, and there was a big "Please" written by Mu Shun himself...

…………………………………………………………………………

"Da! Da! Da!..." With the sound of a rush of horseshoes, a group of knights in full armor appeared in front of the gate of Yanmen Pass. The mansion belonged to Mu Shun, and it was naturally changed to the Mansion of the Chief General of Yanmen.

The person headed by the knight, dressed in black armor, sitting on a thousand-mile black horse, with a sword on his waist and hips, is Xiao Yi, the commander of the Xuanjia Army. The general has an invitation. As the deputy general in Yanmen Pass, he should come to discuss matters. As for what to do, hehe!It's nothing more than a play!

Jumping off the horse, Xiao Yi was not in a hurry to go in. Instead, he tidied up first. He took off his helmet, scratched his hair into a mess, and wrinkled his originally tidy clothes. There was no sweat on his face. Simple, Sprinkle some water and it will be fine, then he took a deep breath, and after his face turned red, Xiao Yi trotted all the way into the Lord General's Mansion, with a weeping face, as if I was terrified!

"The last general...see Mr. Mu!" Xiao Yi ran into the hall in embarrassment, and immediately greeted him with a military salute. Not to mention his flustered movements, he was almost tripped by himself, without the composure of the past, "Mr. Mu, Hurry up and ask for reinforcements from Governor Zhang! I'm afraid it will be too late!"

"Hiss!..." What?Is the fact that the Huns invaded on a large scale already conclusive?How many people are there? "Seeing Xiao Yi panicked, Mu Shun's heart sank. He knew this young master's ability. He could even get out of such a complicated and dangerous scene in Luoyang, but now he panicked like this. It seems that The fact that the Xiongnu army suppressed the border is a certainty.

"Well, the rangers sent by the last general found the traces of the Huns, so it's less than a hundred miles away!" Xiao Yi's words made Mu Shun turn pale with fright, "And the attack was very fierce, the smoke and dust raised by the cavalry was overwhelming. , I am afraid there are more than one hundred thousand people!"

"More than a hundred thousand?" Hearing this news, Mu Shun's pale face suddenly turned black again. Although he has no literary and military skills, he still knows how many troops are stationed at Yanmen Pass. One to ten means that Sun Wu will be resurrected. He can't stop him, let alone Mu Shun, who is just a mere Mu Shun!

"Don't worry, my lord, since we are living on the salary of the Han family and are entrusted by the governor Zhang, we must swear to guard the Yanmen to the death. The last general will fail, and we are willing to die together with Lord Mu!" Looking up, Xiao Yi put on a generous appearance.

"Ah!... Kill yourself to be a benevolent?" Hearing this sentence, Mu Shun's legs were limp, and the inside of his pants was still a little wet. He didn't want to die, really didn't want to die. How can you die if you are enjoying a good life?As governor Zhang Yang's confidant and beloved general, he should have a bright future, but now that the Huns have come, everything seems to be in vain.

"Yes, a man, a man, it is a great fortune in life to die in battle. You must not do the act of running away because you are greedy for life and fear of death. The general will go to inspect the city defense. Once the Huns come to attack, the general will take the first step!" After finishing speaking, Xiao Yi walked out with his head held high and his chest held high. His energy was just like Jing Ke's by the Yishui River back then. Once gone, he would never return...

"Yes, I can still run! I can run..." Mu Shun didn't hear anything else, but the word 'run away' came to his mind like thunder, yes, as long as you run far away It's fine. As for the guards of Yanmen Gate, they can do whatever they want. Anyway, I can't guard Yanmen Pass by myself, so why stay here to be buried with them?However, he had to have a good excuse to leave, which was easy to do. Making excuses and excuses was Mu Shun's strong point.

After leaving the Lord General's Mansion, Xiao Yi, who was originally panicked, immediately changed his appearance. His small face was extremely calm, and he looked like he was holding a pearl of wisdom; his clothes were messy, and his hair was also re-arranged. Always pay attention to your own image, especially since he is still unmarried. Xiao Yi was very satisfied with the performance just now. He never thought that he still has this talent. It was a waste not to apply for the film and television academy in his previous life, otherwise he would be another capable actor. No, it's a powerful faction and an idol faction, ha ha!

"Let's go! Go back to the camp and prepare for the war, Huns, I will let you come and go!" With a wave of his hand, Xiao Yi led his men straight to the barracks. If not as expected, he will soon be the master of Yanmen Pass.

203. Chapter 203 When Combat Preparations Are in Progress

When he woke up, Xiao Yi found that he had been promoted again because Mu Shun, the chief general of Yanmen Pass, had run away. He thought that this cowardly guy would survive for another two days, but he didn't expect Mu Shun to bring a few A soldier sneaked out from the city gate, even abandoning the few concubines in the private house. The one who left was clean and neat, and he even called it: "Go to Jinyang to pray for reinforcements from the governor Zhang Yang!"

A majestic general of a city ran to find reinforcements without even seeing the enemy's shadow. This kind of strange thing is also very rare in the hundreds of years of war history of the Han Dynasty. When the main general ran away, he ran away. After all, he was greedy for life and afraid of death. It's human nature, but according to the Han system, when the chief general dies or is unable to manage for some reason, the deputy general will automatically fill in the position, which means that from now on, all the affairs of Yanmen Pass will be decided by Xiao Yi alone!

"Da! Da da!..." This time Xiao Yi transferred the entire Xuanjia Army to the city. He was about to implement military control, but the inside of Yanmen Pass was already in chaos. Hearing that the main general had run away, the officials and people in the city immediately panicked. The nest exploded, as if the sky was about to fall, the streets and alleys were full of people preparing to flee, the men carried the more valuable belongings of the family on their shoulders, the women held the children in one hand, and the poultry that they were reluctant to discard in the other, crying They rushed towards the gate of the city, except for some old people who were really handicapped, it can be said that the city was dispatched, and even some soldiers guarding the city threw down their weapons, rolled on the ground, and then wiped the mud on their faces. Secretly sneaked into the fleeing crowd, and all the officials ran away, who would I work for!

"Close the city gate, anyone who dares to leave the city to escape without permission, kill!" Xiao Yi gave an order, and the cavalry under him immediately closed the city gate firmly. Under the threat of the shining saber, the flow of people was finally stopped, but still There was a lot of noise, asking to open the door to let them escape, adults shouted, children cried, and the situation became chaotic.

"Listen, soldiers and people in the city, this general is Xiao Yi, the commander of the Xuanjia Army, and now he acts as the acting general of the Yanmen Gate. It is our duty to wait for the Han people to guard the city of the Han family. From now on, the army and the people will be integrated. Anyone who dares to flee without permission, kill!" With a wave of Xiao Yi's hand, a group of wolves like tigers immediately grabbed a few deserters from the crowd, and they fell to the ground without saying a word. Rolling down, the crowd immediately quieted down.

People flee because they are afraid of death. Now that death is in front of them, the crowd retreats in horror. Killing people and standing up is a good way to stop chaos at any time. The premise is that you can control the scale well, otherwise if you backfire, you will be dead Wucun's end; but Xiao Yi is not afraid, fighting is a business of killing people!

"My lord, please lead me to guard the city! The commoners are willing to help you defend the city..." Several old people suddenly knelt down in front of Xiao Yi's horse and shouted loudly, and then the crowd fell down like a wave, no one was willing to abandon their own In my homeland, there is no soldier who is born to want to be a deserter. As the saying goes, "soldiers follow the grass and the wind", people panic because the general Mu Shun escaped, and everyone lost their backbone. Now Xiao Yi stood up and poured blood into the forest The head told everyone that the people who were about to defend the city, and found the backbone again suddenly burst out with enthusiasm to protect their homeland!

"Okay, listen to this general's order. All soldiers return to their own teams and guard the city. All young and strong men in the city will go to the city to help defend, and the rest will return to their own families. They are not allowed to go out at will. The streets are under martial law. I swear to live and die together with Yanmen Pass!" With a touch of the sword on the back of his hand, Xiao Yi proved his determination to guard the city with his own blood this time!

"Respect Your Excellency's order!... Swear to live and die with Yanmen!" The crowd burst into loud shouts, as long as the officials are not afraid of death, then what are the common people afraid of!

In the lobby of the Lord General's Mansion, Xiao Yi was fascinated by a map of Yanmen city defense. Now that he is the master here, Mu Shun is not bad. When he left, he left him the seal of the city guard. With the seal, Xiao Yi will be able to command all the important military and political affairs of Yanmen more legitimately; the Xuanjia Army has taken over all the key departments, so let's see how Xiao Yi arranges his troops!

The [-] Xuanjia troops, [-] ordinary soldiers, plus tens of thousands of ordinary people, against the [-] elite cavalry of the Huns, are indeed at an absolute disadvantage in terms of strength. Art, this is military!

Yanmen is a dangerous place in the world. The mountains on both sides are too high to be reached. There is only one road in the middle that can connect the north and the south. There are two gates in Yanmenguan. That's it. Thanks to the blessing of the old magistrate Zhang Yang, a lot of people's and material resources were used to repair the city defense of Yanmen. The archery tower, the fortifications are extremely complete, the food, weapons, and arrow clusters in the city are sufficient, and the water source is not a problem. Although the military strength is somewhat insufficient, as long as the command is proper, it is not impossible to defend the city.

However, what Xiao Yi had to do was not as simple as defending the city. He wanted to kill and injure the invading Xiongnu soldiers in large numbers, washing the blood with blood. He hadn't forgotten the bloody feud at Crouching Tiger Pavilion back then!

Daniu, Ma Liu and other generals stood silently behind them. They had sufficient confidence in Xiao Yi, which was brought about by victories in all battles. Especially after seeing Xiao Yi rubbing his chin for a long time, they suddenly started laughing wildly. When they touched their noses, they knew that the Huns were about to bleed like a river...

"Ma Liu listened to the order! You lead a team of cavalry out of the north gate, and within two days, all the residents of the villages north of Yanmen Pass will be moved to the city, all the wells will be filled up, all the houses will be demolished, and finally set a big fire on me. , burn the crops and grasslands there to a flat ground, and make sure that no grass grows, understand?"

"Promise!..." Ma Liu hurriedly stepped forward to salute and agreed, and then said with embarrassment: "Most of the cultivated land nearby is gathered in the north of the city. Now the crops are not yet mature, and a fire is burning. I am afraid that the people will obstruct them. That's their lifeblood..."

People depend on food!Yanmenguan is located close to the prairie on the border. The land here is fertile and can be cultivated and pastured. Therefore, many people water and farm in spring. In summer and autumn, they go to the grassland to graze like the Huns. They live a good life. Now that they are forced to relocate them and destroy their homes, they will inevitably encounter fierce resistance, which is why Ma Liu asked this question!

"Those grains can't be eaten by us. Instead of leaving them to the Huns, it's better to burn them up in a big fire, at least the land will be fertile; as for those who dare to resist the emigration, they will be punished as collusion with the enemy, and they will be killed without mercy! "Xiao Yi's voice was extremely cold. As a general in charge of the overall situation, all he considered was the outcome of the war. As for the life and death of some common people, it was just a bargaining chip in the balance of war. That's the reason why kindness does not control soldiers!

Looking at Ma Liu's flushed face, Xiao Yi knew that he still couldn't bear it, this was Ma Liu's character, not ruthless enough.

With a long sigh, Xiao Yi stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder and said: "I know you can't bear to act like the common people, but now it's a war, and everything is for survival. When the Huns are driven away, then compensate those common people." ! Letting you do this will save a few people from dying!"

"No!" Ma Liu didn't dare to say anything more, he turned around and took a group of people to execute the military order, he knew that what Xiao Yi said was right, 'a poisonous snake bites a hand, a strong man cuts his wrist,' soldiers need this kind of decisiveness!

"Big cow! You lead people to strengthen the city defense in the north, prepare arrow clusters, rolling logs, and thunder stones. If necessary, you can demolish the houses in the city. First, start from this lord general's mansion. Anyone who dares to obstruct him will also be killed without mercy. !"

"No!" Daniel replied much more happily, he never thought much about Xiao Yi's orders, as long as he carried them out.

"Xiao Bin, you are responsible for patrolling the city with my saber. If there are those who run away, kill them! ... If you disturb the trouble, kill them! ... If you don't listen to orders, kill them!" Xiao Yi directly handed over the Flood Severing Sword. In wartime, heavy codes were used. He had to make Yanmen Pass absolutely obey his command alone. For this reason, he didn't care if he killed a few more people!

"Promise!" Taking Xiao Yi's saber with both hands, Xiao Bin felt that the responsibility was extremely heavy, and the same trust was extremely important. As far as he knew, Xiao Yi had never handed over his sword to anyone else. First!

A scholar dies for his confidant!For this trust, Xiaobin decides to kill him and let his blood flow into rivers, no matter if it is an enemy or one of his own!
