I'm playing tricks in Daqin

Xianggong is going to go to war tomorrow morning, so tonight is naturally their duty and obligation as wives, they obediently accept it, but, Xianggong's fighting power is too great, ordinary people can't stand it, and they are tossed to pieces. I don't know which sister to torment again?Then again, perhaps, as Qing'er said, Xianggong is not from a mortal at all, otherwise how could he be so powerful?

Early the next morning, Li Wei set off quietly under the escort of five hundred soldiers. Along the way, this fellow lay in the carriage and fell asleep, unable to wake up.

There is no way, although the "Nine Suns Divine Art" he practiced has broken through the construction period and entered the Qi cultivation period, but there are too many wives, and they must be treated fairly, and no one can be left out in the cold, so after a whole night of tossing, it is considered a The robot has to fall apart too, he's catching up on sleep right now.

The Jin Empire invaded the Zhou Empire, triggering the continental war of the century again. As the army of the Jin Empire conquered the important town of Qing'an of the Zhou Empire and besieged Jianye City, it seriously threatened Jin'an, the capital of the Zhou Empire. The monarchs of all empires could not sit still , While calling for condemnation, at the same time gathering a large army, preparing to reinforce the Zhou Empire.

The Tang Empire, which is next to the Zhou Empire, has quickly assembled an army of 20 in Yiwu County, led by Zhennan General Wei Xi, and has already rushed out of the border and entered the border of the Zhou Empire.

Because Li Wei has just secretly reached a verbal marriage agreement with the Jin Empire, Li Wei's skin is not thick enough to tear up the agreement in the blink of an eye, so naturally he can't send a large army across the river, but it is still necessary to put on a show. As for what the King of Jin thinks , he is too lazy to bother.

The army assembled at Shaoguan, and Ding Tai, who was in charge of the Jiayue Navy, set up a large number of warships on the river, as if he was going to fight across the river forcibly. Even if it was acting, King Jin dared not be negligent. Heavy troops were deployed in the area from Lijiadu to Lintong, and additional troops were added to the two counties of Jianghuai and Fengdu to defend against the sudden attack of the empire.

Li Wei took Guanning Road. Although he didn't rush desperately along the way, he was still riding fast. He arrived in Guanning City fifteen days later, rested for the night, and set off quietly the next day for Yi County.

Yi County is only a small county town, but the terrain is extremely steep. The county town is built along the hillside of Heishi Mountain, the North Ridge of the Wushan Mountains, and the surging Nu River rushes around the mountain. As long as a few Thunder Chariots are set up on the city, it will be enough to cover half of the city. The river and the ferry.

The so-called ferry is just a pier made of bluestone slabs for the locals to draw water. Since Li Wei "invented" the waterwheel, the locals no longer need to go to the river to carry water. The pier was almost abandoned and became a urchin. A blessed place to play and have fun.

Two or three miles from the west gate of Guanning City is the uneven mountainous hills, and there is only one rugged and difficult path extending to Yi County. Even if the enemy can capture Yi County and attack Guanning Jian City, their forces will not be able to deploy , not to mention the problem of transportation, for more than a hundred years, no matter the raging war outside, this area has never been affected by the war.

But this time, Li Wei chose this place as the main traffic route for fishing in troubled waters in the Battle of the Century.

Chapter 292 The Wretched Task

More than ten days ago, 5000 soldiers from the Central Army of [-] Tiger and Leopard Cavalry had quietly entered Yi County. They also brought a large amount of food, grass, weapons and other military supplies. The soldiers were all waiting for the order to go out.

There are more than a dozen large merchant ships moored beside the pier. These large merchant ships have been carefully refitted. Except for the lack of a ship building, they are all equipped with several thunder cannons. Their combat power is no less than that of the standard naval ships. They are used to carry soldiers. across the river.

This time, Li Wei intends to take advantage of the way to cross the river from Yixian Wharf, enter the Zhou Empire, and then enter the Jin Empire via the Longjiang River to harass Pennsylvania and other places.

To implement the plan to fish in troubled waters, the king of Zhou must first agree to borrow a way. At this time, facing the 20 overwhelming Jin army, the king of Zhou was already terrified and pale. He wished for more reinforcements, the better. How could it refuse the kindness of its neighbors?

However, he still ordered the Longjiang garrison to strengthen their vigilance. As long as the Qin Empire's reinforcements did not enter Longjiang City, everything would be negotiable, and food and some military supplies would be provided free of charge.

On the night when Li Wei arrived in Yi County, Shang Xingyun led three thousand tiger and leopard cavalry soldiers to board the ship in batches, cross the river and land on the shore.

Shang Xingyun was originally a general of the first battalion of the tiger and leopard cavalry, and his outstanding commanding ability was appreciated by the commander Zhuo Fengxing, and he was promoted to the deputy commander. After Zhuo Fengxing was transferred to the deputy commander of the Central Army, Shang Xingyun took over the burden of the tiger and leopard cavalry as a matter of course.

Surrounded by the guards, Li Wei stood on the pier and watched the soldiers board the boat to cross the river. This time, he did not personally command the tiger and leopard cavalry for the expedition. There were many reasons.

Today's tiger and leopard cavalry has gone through the test of blood and fire, and has grown into an iron-blooded army. Shang Xingyun's military talent is not only valued by the original commander Zhuoyoufeng, but also a veteran who has followed him in battle. With him commanding the tiger and leopard cavalry, Li Wei is naturally at ease.

As the future and only heir of the Li family, and the hope of all his followers, he can no longer take risks with himself like holding on to the Pingtang dangerous pass, and naturally he is not allowed to go into battle to kill the enemy.

Of course, he wants to lead the troops to go out in person, and no one can stop him, but, don't look at the cavalry coming and going like the wind, galloping thousands of miles, majestic, but Li Wei has already experienced the pain in it. Immediately running, the skin on the inside of both thighs was worn out, bloody and excruciatingly painful, and almost became bow-legged.

Think about a handsome, unrestrained, suave and suave guy with flowers blooming, but a pair of bow legs, how much does it cost and how hurtful it is?

Li Wei would never do this kind of thing, so when the army went out, he still repeatedly told Shang Xingyun that the mission of the tiger and leopard cavalry was to add some chaos to the Jin Empire, and make something happen along the way To make up for military expenses, how did I do it last time, you can copy it, military merits, it depends on the value of the stuff you get, even if you chop off millions of enemy heads, you can only kill them. It can be regarded as a small achievement.

For such a strange order, Shang Xingyun couldn't laugh or cry. No wonder every soldier is equipped with a set of Tang Army's standard leather armor and dozens of black dragon battle flags that symbolize the Tang Empire. Going back to the remake of the Battle of the Century, he also participated in it back then. He felt very vulgar and shameless, and he couldn't see it at all. Therefore, he could only pretend to be Tang Jun and plant this great reputation on the head of the Tang Empire.

"Subordinates... follow orders..."

Seeing that the commander Shang Xingyun had a weird expression when he took the order, and his speech was weak, as if he had been hungry for a few days, Xia Houheng, who was standing by the side with his hands silently, couldn't help but frowned slightly. Why did Master Shang have such an attitude?

Xia Houheng was formerly a lieutenant of the Central Army Corps, and it was purely accidental that he was able to join the Tiger and Leopard Iron Cavalry. During a military competition, Shang Xingyun passing by found that he was very good at riding and archery. Li Wei's corner came.

Xia Houheng had long known the two trump cards of the empire, one was the tiger and leopard cavalry, and the other was the camp. Many people in the army wanted to join these two elite trump cards, and Xia Houheng was no exception. As soon as Shang Xingyun opened his mouth, he immediately agreed, Shang Xingyun appointed him as the captain. Although his official position was downgraded by one level, Xia Houheng didn't care at all. In the future, there will be more battles. Joining this ace cavalry will definitely have more battles than ordinary troops. Now, the opportunity is coming. Well.

Shang Xingyun and Xia Houheng were the last to board the ship. More than a dozen refitted large merchant ships traveled to and from the river, transporting [-] tiger and leopard cavalry soldiers across the river in batches, followed by horses.

Zhang Yi, the guard of the Longjiang River, had already obtained the imperial decree from the king of Zhou. In addition to ordering soldiers to strengthen the security in the city, he sent his confidant Liu Wu to lead a small team to meet him by the river.

The 20 Jin army was in full swing and captured the two major towns of the Zhou Empire in a row. The situation was critical. Everyone, including the King of Zhou and the people, raised their hands to welcome the reinforcements.

Liu Wu saw that there were only [-] Qin troops crossing the river, and he couldn't help showing a disappointed expression on his face. The day before yesterday, the vanguard troops of the Fifty Thousand Tang Empire also used Longjiang, but they took a different route.

However, the ones who came were all friendly troops, so even if they were disappointed, they had to put on a smile.

The large merchant ships were still going back and forth on the river, and after carrying the people, the next step was to carry the horses. The soldiers of the tiger and leopard cavalry were waiting to pick up their horses by the river.

When Liu Wu saw those mules and horses, the disappointed expression on his face became more and more serious. Are these also called war horses?Could it be that the Qin Empire sent this garbage cavalry to respond in vain?However, just looking at the number of these mules and horses, I am afraid that there are no less than ten thousand, and they are all equipped with standard saddles. What is the Qin army doing?

Liu Wulue pondered for a while, and quickly guessed a possibility. Since the cavalry of the Qin Army took the wrong path of Longjiang and aimed at Pennsylvania, then they must have landed in more than Longjiang. 6000 men landed ahead.

Doing this must be to confuse the secret agents of the Jin Empire and achieve the purpose of surprise, um, it must be like this.

He thought about it, and suddenly became happy. Although the horses of the Qin army were not very good, they were still a cavalry brigade of ten thousand people. Even if they couldn't capture Pennsylvania, they might be able to make trouble in the hinterland of the Jin Empire and contain a Jin army. .

For the sake of the country's destiny, he silently prayed in his heart that the cavalry of the Qin Army could conquer Pennsylvania, win consecutive battles, restrain part of the troops of the Jin Empire, and reduce the pressure on the country.

Shang Xingyun seemed to have read his mind, patted him on the shoulder with a smile, thanked him, and then led three thousand tiger and leopard cavalry to disappear slowly into the vast night.

Liu Wu watched Shang Xingyun's cavalry brigade disappear into the vast night. He still stood by the river and waited for a long time until a speedboat docked. He was moored at the edge of the pier, and there was no movement on the pier, so he breathed a sigh of relief.

Liu Wu left a small group of soldiers to monitor the movement along the river, and then returned to the city to report the situation to Zhang Yi, the general of Zhenguan.

Chapter 293 The Beggar Army Is Back

As the Jin Empire's 20 troops captured the important town of Jiankang and Qing'an of the Zhou Empire, the war of the new century broke out again. The five kingdoms of Tang, Wei, Han, Chu, and Jin successively sent troops to attack Jin, and the Cangyun Continent, which had not been calm for a long time, once again fell into melee.

The southeast border of the Jin Empire was off Pennsylvania.

Xiong Molin, a famous scholar of Yanyun in the Jin Empire, is also proficient in the art of war. The new prefect of Binzhou County, the battle of the century in Cangyun Continent broke out again. All the borders of the empire will send reinforcements. , He can also recruit tens of thousands of young and strong people in the city.

During the critical period, Xiong Molin didn't dare to be negligent. He not only ordered to strengthen the security of the whole city, but also implemented a night sky ban during wartime, and dispatched a large number of Yebushou to monitor all movements of the Zhou Empire's Longjiang City on the opposite side.

In the evening, he received information from Yebushou that the Tang Empire's 5 vanguard troops had entered Longjiang and were advancing towards Qing'an, with the intention of conquering Qing'an and cutting off the already besieged army of Jianye City. .

Even if he wanted to control the battle ahead, he couldn't control it. His responsibility was to guard Binzhou City and Lijiadu. He had just laid down after working in the middle of the night when there was an urgent knock on the door, and there was an urgent report from his subordinates outside the door. : Chenliu Second County issued an emergency beacon signal.

"what happened?"

Xiong Molin jumped up from the bed in shock. He was afraid of accidents, so he sent a large number of Yebushou to the border area to closely monitor all movements in Longjiang City on the opposite side, and did not go to bed until he confirmed that no enemy situation was found.

The soldier who reported was nervous and uneasy. He didn't know what happened. It's the middle of the night, and the gates of the city have already been closed. I don't know why, but I haven't come back yet.

Xiong Molin boarded the South City and looked up. In the dark sky, he could vaguely see a few sparks in the distance. He guessed that it was the direction of the second county town of Chenliu. How dare you light a beacon lightly to send a distress signal?

Even though Xiong Molin was full of uneasiness, but the situation was unknown, he did not dare to send reinforcements at such a time, so he could only send a large number of Yebushou to investigate, to find out the situation, and at the same time, he ordered the number of guard posts in the city to double to prevent the enemy Raid the city.

In Liuxian City, Xia Houheng was directing his wolf-like men to rob everywhere, and anyone who dared to resist would be killed on the spot.

None of the people in Liu County knew how the city fell, and they woke up in shock when Tang soldiers entered the city.

These Tang soldiers are very cruel and rob everywhere. However, their targets are only those rich and powerful families. As for poor families, as long as you are honest, these wolf-like Tang soldiers will ignore you at all, and even open the door. Official warehouses, let the common people rob official food.

In the eyes of ordinary people, this group of Tang soldiers who invaded their homes is very hateful, but their actions are puzzling and even cute. Many people recalled the scene of the last century war, and it must be that scene again The army of beggars who were so poor that they even snatched kitchen knives and chopping knives came back again.

However, this time, they only attacked the rich and big families. The poor people were not harassed at all, and they still had food distribution.

Xia Houheng didn't bother to pay attention to what the common people in the city thought. He was very loyal and helpless to carry out the military order commanding Shang Xingyun. Regarding this military order, he felt very aggrieved in his heart. The trump card elite cavalry built with a lot of money could not go into battle to kill the enemy , but like a robber who blocked the road and robbed him, he did such a shameful act, which made him want to cry without tears.

Fortunately, all the generals were wearing the Tang Army's standard equipment and playing the Tang Army's banner, otherwise, he would have to wipe his neck in shame.

Most of the generals of the tiger and leopard cavalry are veterans who followed Li Wei to rob everywhere. They have done this kind of thing many times. , The big stuff doesn't even look at it.

The large-scale looting operation went smoothly, but when they robbed a rich family with lanterns and festoons and a wedding ceremony, a little accident happened.

Xia Houheng was standing in the courtyard with a dark face when a personal guard approached and whispered something into his ear, which made Xia Houheng frown.

It turned out that when a group of soldiers broke into the inner house and ransacked it, they were all dressed up beautifully. The charming bride suddenly rushed out of the bridal chamber and called for help, saying that she was originally the young lady of a wealthy family in the Tang Empire, but was abducted by human traffickers and sold to this family for Concubine, crying for help from compatriots.

Looking at the bride kneeling in front of her, crying pear blossoms with rain, Xia Houheng's head is getting big, please save her, let alone disobeying military orders, the tiger and leopard cavalry alone go deep into the enemy's rear, and they have to travel thousands of miles, their whereabouts are erratic Maybe she won't be surrounded by the army of the Jin Empire, how can such a delicate little lady keep up with the army?

Running thousands of miles on a war horse can jolt people to death.

Don't save it, he can't bear it.

"This general saved me, and I will repay you as a cow and a horse in my next life."

The bride had quite a wink, seeing that Xia Houheng was the head, and knelt in front of him, hugging his thigh and weeping and begging.

"I……"

Xia Houheng scratched his head desperately, his heart was extremely entangled. On the battlefield, he could kill any enemy cold-blooded and ruthlessly, but he couldn't remain indifferent to this weak woman's plea for help.

"Captain Xia, this subordinate has a solution."

A personal guard approached and muttered a few words in a low voice, which made Xiahou Hengyang's eyes light up.

The mobility of the tiger and leopard cavalry is astonishing, they can run for thousands of miles, come and go without a trace, but apart from carrying dry food and necessary weapons and equipment, they do not carry siege equipment at all. Ye BuShou and hidden spy agents help.

The little lady can't be taken away, she will be transferred with the cavalry, but you can hide her in the spy's house first, and send her back to the Tang Empire after the war is over. Of course, you have to take a certain risk. Xia Houheng had no choice but to ruthlessly refuse the pitiful little lady, so he had no choice but to disobey the military order.

"Little lady, please get up."

Xia Houheng bent down to help the beautiful young lady who was dressed in a bride's attire, and lowered her voice as much as possible, for fear of frightening her.

To be honest, the little lady in front of him was beautiful, with the dignified and virtuous temperament of a lady, plus the pear blossoms were raining, and she was so tender and tender, that he couldn't help but want to take care of her.

In other words, Xia Houheng, who has not yet married a wife, was moved.

"My servant Murong Zhen thanked General Xiahou."

The little lady had good eyesight, she saw that Xia Houheng was willing to save her from the sea of ​​suffering, she couldn't help trembling with excitement, and hurriedly thanked her with blessings. Although Xiahou Hengyang's personal soldiers lowered their voices, she still recognized the help of the rescuer in front of her. The benefactor's surname is Xiahou.

"Uh, Miss Zhen doesn't have to be like this..."

Xia Houheng hurriedly helped him up, his face was flushed, and he looked at a loss.

Anyone can see that this guy is still a rookie in front of girls.

Chapter 294 I'm Not Here

"General Xiahou..."

Hearing Zhen Xiaoniang's shy voice, Xia Houheng woke up like a dream, dare to love, he is still holding her soft and slippery little hand.

"Uh……"

Xia Houheng's hand seemed to have been stung by a poisonous scorpion, and he let go of it in a panic, his old face was flushed, causing the guards on the side to cover their mouths and laugh.

Fortunately, at this time, the head of this big family was escorted by clever guards, which relieved Xia Houheng's embarrassment.

Xia Houheng immediately told him that Miss Zhen would take someone with her in exchange, and the looting would stop here.

The Patriarch, whose face was pale with fright and whose calves were convulsed, nodded desperately. He dared not agree, and he was secretly happy in his heart.

His family property was plundered, and he was lucky to be able to save his life. Now that Murong Zhen is used to save half of the family property, this kind of business fool would shake his head and refuse. Even if he could get some of his concubines or other daughter-in-laws, he would be happy.

The looting activities in the whole city ended almost at dawn. Before Xia Houheng led his team to evacuate, he entrusted Murong Zhen to the special Yebushu who assisted in the attack on the city. In the farm outside the city, a large amount of gold and silver from the looting were buried in the farm.

After the sky brightened, Xiong Molin, the prefect of Pennsylvania, received successively the rewards for not accepting the night. The two counties of Chen and Liu were attacked by the Tang army at the same time last night. When it was empty, a fire was set in the ordnance, and it was completely burned.

As for the number of Tang troops, it is estimated to be over [-], all of them are Qingqi. Because of their high mobility, their specific whereabouts are still unknown, and Ye Bushou is desperately looking for them.

"Bandit, shameless and obscene!"

Xiong Molin was so angry that his beard and hair stood on end. The two counties of Chenliu and Chenliu were all counties under his jurisdiction. He had a certain responsibility for the sudden invasion of the Tang army. Let him have a big head like a bucket, even restless.

These aristocratic families have a good reputation in the local area, and they have great influence. The families are married to each other, and the power is even more intertwined. The background is complicated. .

Those tyrannical squires are local bosses. Without their support, he, the prefect, let alone governing one side, might not even be able to sit securely.

Of course, these forces are not monolithic, and some are even hostile. Counting the old grievances formed during the development process over the past few years, he was able to quickly secure the position of the prefect of Pennsylvania, and he also took advantage of this.

But now, these forces have all been wiped out by the hateful Tang Jun, and they have suffered heavy losses. Even if they have old grudges, they will temporarily let go at this time, and unite to ask for an explanation. This is what Xiong Molin is most worried about.

If he could not annihilate this hateful Qingqi of the Tang army, recover those gold and silver coins and return them to those aristocratic families, even if King Jin did not hold him accountable, he would not be able to gain a foothold in Pennsylvania.

In order to save the future, Xiong Molin with a gloomy face issued a series of orders. In addition to ordering the soldiers in the city to strengthen their guard, the army was on standby, waiting for the order to attack.

In addition, he also forcibly confiscated all the horses in the city, and improvised a cavalry force of about 500 men. In addition to the original [-] cavalry men and his [-] personal soldiers, he now has [-] men in his hands. Zhong Yiping, the deputy chief of staff of his bodyguard, is in charge of the cavalry.

There are five counties under his jurisdiction, and they all sent people with order talismans to inform the county magistrates to be vigilant and strictly on guard, and the city should not be attacked by the Tang army again.

Two hours later, there was no return at night, and the whereabouts of the Qingqi of the Tang army were found in the direction of Jixian County. However, the Tang army did not attack Jixian County, but went around the city. I don't know if it was heading to Shuzhou in the west?Or go north on Yanyun Road?

Anyway, the captain had led his men to chase him down, and he was ordered to come back and report.

"Damn it, what the hell are they trying to do?"

Xiong Molin was in a bad mood and cursed through gritted teeth. He is Qingliu, but he is also proficient in the art of war, so he can serve as both the prefect of Pennsylvania and the general of Zhenguan. A map of the entire empire quickly flashed through his mind, and his heart became more and more uneasy. .

To the west is the frontier Shuzhou, to the north is Yanyun County, which is an important town in the hinterland of the empire, and then to the west is Yanzhou, the gateway to the imperial capital.

If this tens of thousands of Tang Army Qingqi appeared under Yanzhou, it would definitely cause a shock in the court, and the king Longyan would be furious. Sneaking into the hinterland of the empire, almost reaching the heart, it will not be a matter of losing an official, but losing his head.

Xiong Molin could not guess the purpose of this cavalry unit of the Tang Army, but he did not hesitate at all, and sent a large number of messengers one after another to inform the prefects and county magistrates of the counties and counties to be on strict alert. To the imperial capital.
