On the fourth day of the first lunar month, the waking of insects.

Han Chaosheng felt flustered all day long, his eyelids were twitching, and he couldn't sleep well at night.

Han Chaosheng sat up from the bed and rubbed his forehead.

"master?"

"It's okay, you continue to sleep."

"Will my master make a bowl of calming tea?"

"No, I'll go for a walk."

Han Chaosheng put on his clothes, wrapped in a cloak and walked out of the room.

The servant serving in the yard couldn't bear the cold at night, so he quietly hid in the ear room and warmed a pot of rice wine. He was half drunk at the moment, and he didn't even know that the master's family had walked out of the yard.

Han Chaosheng wandered around the backyard of his house, looked up at the dark and gloomy sky, and felt overwhelmed with uneasiness.

Han Chaosheng strode out of the backyard, took two entourages with him, led a horse, and headed for Chengguan.

"The general is here."

"General!"

Han Chaosheng looked north from the city gate, he couldn't see anything in the dark night, and there seemed to be something hidden in the night, like Han Chaosheng's nightmare, covering his eyes and heart.

"Is there anything unusual about changing the guard today?"

"Back to the general, there is nothing unusual."

"...Is there a letter from Xingtian Pass?"

"No letter yet."

Han Chaosheng wondered inwardly, the letter he sent to Chen He was sent to Xingtianguan years ago, and it will be copied on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month to open the dynasty. Why hasn't there been a letter yet?

"Urgent report! Urgent report! Urgent report! Quickly open the city gate! Urgent report! Quickly open the city gate!"

There was a burst of hoarse shouts in the dark night, but above the city gate, only a little fire under the city tower could be seen.

"what happened?"

"I don't know..."

"Go and see."

The ominous premonition in Han Chaosheng's heart became more and more serious, and he quickly led the people down the city tower, and the whole team was allowed to open the city gate with their knives out of their sheaths.

Seeing that the fire was getting closer and closer, half a moment later finally saw two people holding torches rushing towards the city gate from the darkness.

"Military report! Hurry up! We want to see General Han! Military report!"

"Who is coming?!"

"Chen Guo raised his troops to invade the country! Xingtian Pass has been broken! Take us to see General Han!"

Han Chaosheng was shocked when he heard the words: "Take these two down! Close the city gate quickly!"

"Quick! Take it!"

"General Han! General Han!"

The two people from Xingtianguan, Han Chaosheng, looked familiar, but Han Chaosheng tied them up and took them into the hall. He ordered the whole city to be under martial law, and the city gate was locked, and then he sent a team to Xingtianguan overnight to investigate.

"what happened?!"

"General Han! Chen Jun blew up the artillery depot, broke Xingtian Pass, killed General Chen and all the generals with ranks, burned the granary and armory in Xingtian Pass, and killed all the horses before leaving. Now they have arrived at Bashan Already!"

"What? What did you say?! You say it again?!"

"Chen Jun violated the border! They have reached Bashan! General Han!"

"Impossible!" Han Chaosheng suppressed his shock in his heart, "There is no difference in changing the value of the sentry today, and everything in Bashan Pass is also as usual! Now it is just spring, and the snow on Fenglin Mountain has not yet melted. How could Chen Jun break down without a sound? Jialin Pass and Xingtian Pass entered Bashan?!"

"General Han! I don't dare to lie to the general, I have absolutely no lie!"

"Impossible!" Han Chaosheng raised his hand and slapped the man, "Who ordered you to come to Bashan late at night to spread such absurd military reports?!"

Another person couldn't help shouting: "General Han! When Chen Jun left Xingtian Pass, we tried our best to break out of the prison and ran all the way to Bashan. We didn't dare to stop for a moment! The two places from Xingtianguan to Bashan The outposts have been destroyed, the general will send someone to take a look!"

From Xingtianguan to Bashan, it takes a full three days and three nights on foot, and even if you run, it will take at least two and a half days.

If these two people really came to report from Xingtianguan, and Chen Jun came riding on horseback to Bashan, then he should have arrived at Bashan at this moment.

But today nothing was lost at the north and south city gates of Bashan, and no one was seen coming to Bashan during the day and night.

If Chen Jun really entered Bashan quietly, there is only one way to go!

"Come on!"

"General."

"Take a team to inspect the stream."

"Yes, General!"

Han Chaosheng turned his head and asked the two soldiers who ran out from Xingtian Pass: "How many people are there in Chen Jun?"

"This... I don't know.

That night they blew up the artillery storehouse and set fires everywhere in Xingtian Pass. We scattered to put out the fire, but we didn’t realize it. They had already hung General Chen’s head on the city wall, and other generals were also killed one after another. They were all imprisoned in dungeons, granaries and other places, and it was impossible to know how many of them there were. "

Han Chao was so angry that he didn't hit one place, and raised his hand to slap him down again, but another person said anxiously: "Less than 1! Less than [-]! There are not many horses in Xingtian Pass, and the number will be less than [-]. Those Chen people robbed the horses, and slaughtered the extras, killed... killed a lot, so there must be less than [-] of them!"

Less than 1 people dare to attack Bashan? !

"Less than [-]?!" Han Chaosheng was furious, and shouted, "Xingtian Pass has [-] guards, and they can break through Xingtian Pass overnight with less than [-]?!"

"General Han, everything happened so fast! On New Year's Eve, the fire in the city was dead, the artillery depot exploded, and thick smoke billowed. We didn't even know what happened...just..."

"In a panic, Chen Jun was surrendered?!"

"General Han, we regained our composure and found a way to escape to report to General Han!"

"Slow down?! Didn't Chen Jun leave Xingtianguan, so you have a chance?! Ah! Coward! Bastard!"

Han Chaosheng was furious, and he drew his sword to kill the two men, but the blade stopped two inches from the man's neck.

Han Chao was so angry that his hands were shaking, he suppressed his anger, and asked again: "Speak carefully, when did Chen Jun leave Xingtian Pass?"

"Yes... two days ago.

Chen Jun only rested in Xingtian Pass for a day and a night, and left before dawn on the second day of the new year.

Before leaving, they set fires everywhere in the pass. The granary, armory, grain shop, and houses were also burned, and the whole Xingtianguan was in chaos again.

The two of us did not dare to delay, since there were no war horses, we found a horse from a rich family and ran to Bashan to report the news, but the horse couldn't stand the cold winter and ran to death halfway... We also had other brothers running Reported to the neighboring state capital. "

Han Chaosheng paced back and forth in the hall, if what they said was true, then thousands of Chen troops must already be in the city, but thousands of people entered Bashan, how could they hide it from him and the Bashan defenders?

Just now the two said that Chen Jun was able to break into Xingtian Pass because of his surprise attack at night and arson everywhere, causing chaos in the city.

But if they have already entered Bashan, why is there no movement at all?

How the hell did they get here?How to survive the ice and snow in Fenglin Mountain?

"Report! General, the Xiqu sentry post is fine, everything is normal."

"……everything is normal?"

"how is this possible?!"

"This is impossible……"

"Don't you want to attack Bashan?"

Han Chaosheng was full of puzzlement. If he went south from Chen country, he had to go around the mountain if he didn't pass through Bashan.

"Come on!"

"Please order from the general."

"Search City!"

If people are in the city, 6000 people will definitely not be able to hide, and they will be found at a search.

It would be best if he was not in the city. Only after searching for Han Chaosheng can he feel at ease.

***

"Your Highness, General Lu, son, Han Chaosheng has ordered martial law."

When the spies came back to report the news, Qi Xiao exchanged glances with everyone, and smiled with the corners of his lips curled up: "Let the brothers get ready.

Follow the plan. "

Chi Yue and Zong Sheng stood up and retreated with the spies.

Lu Xiulin shook his head: "If Han Chaosheng can hold back his temper and wait until dawn, then we won't be able to sing this play."

Qi Xiao chuckled: "If I were Han Chaosheng, I'm afraid I won't be able to sit still.

According to what those two people said, we left Xingtian Pass three days ago, and we have been lying in the city for at least two days and one night, but he doesn't know it at all, so why not worry? "

"Then what if we don't come? Or he doesn't believe those two people at all?"

"Han Chaosheng is cautious, he is not afraid of [-] but just in case, he would rather believe it and search the city than sit idly by."

Tang Ling added: "The most important thing is, why did those two people tell lies? Lying about the military situation is a capital offense. They came to Bashan in the middle of the night. Could it be that it's just for fun to lie to him, Han Chaosheng?"

But Han Chaosheng never expected that what the two said was true, the only thing was that they left Xingtianguan yesterday and entered Bashan today.

Those two were also arranged by Qi Xiao.

If someone could really escape from Xingtian Pass, it would take at least two days before he broke his leg and came here. By then, Bashan would have changed hands a long time ago.

As soon as I spoke, the street was already noisy, and in the middle of the night, the sound of armor rubbing was especially clear.

"coming."

Qi Xiao stood up slowly, turned to Ye Huai and said, "Protect your young master."

"You don't need to tell me."

Tang Ling smiled and nodded at Qi Xiao: "Be careful yourself."

"it is good."

Qi Xiao responded immediately, winked at Lu Xiulin, and prepared to kill.
