Liu Han, the general of Fengcheng County, routinely turns around the four city gates every morning. This is a habit he formed when he was the mayor of Fengcheng county. But most of the original men have died in the war. Although there are more men now, few people respect him. In the first World War of Fengcheng, General Li Yuanshan led tens of thousands of troops to attack the city. He and the sheriff took 1500 County soldiers and people to the city to resist. The rebels stormed for six days without breaking.
Later, Li Yuanshan came in person and was furious outside the city wall. He slaughtered the city without surrendering.
At this time, most of the county soldiers in the city had died, and thousands of young people had died. The sheriff sighed, worshipped the direction of Chang'an City from a distance, then jumped down from the city wall and fell to death on the spot. Liu Han looked at the body of the sheriff under the city and cried. After a long time, he ordered to open the door and surrender.
After entering the city, Li Yuanshan forced the young people to join the army and let Liu Han train. At first, the people thought Liu Han had to surrender, but what nobody thought was that Liu Han didn't refuse Li Yuanshan's order, took office as Fengcheng sheriff, and then really tried his best to train for Li Yuanshan.
Since then, the people of Fengcheng secretly scolded him.
Just over half a month ago, Li Yuanshan sent someone to transfer most of the rebels in Fengcheng, leaving only thousands to guard Fengcheng.
After the transfer of the army, Liu Han, as before, first went to the city gate to inspect in the morning, and then returned to the sheriff's office to handle official business. He was bound to go to the military camp in the afternoon.
Liu Fu, his confidant, is in charge of his family. Looking at Liu Han's white hair, which has obviously increased in the past two years, he couldn't help but feel a pain in his heart.
No one in this city understands the pains of adults.
"My Lord, is this battle coming to an end?"
He followed and asked cautiously.
Liu Han, who was walking in front, paused when he heard this sentence, and then shook his head: "maybe..."
No one of the people passing by him saluted him, and neither of the two greeted him. Liu Fu looked angry and said coldly, "these guys really don't know good or bad. If you hadn't tried your best to protect them these years, would they have a safe life today?"
"I just make myself feel better."
Liu Han said as he walked, "the people still want the great Sui Dynasty. This is a good thing."
Liu Fudao: "When I promised Li Yuanshan to train, I was not afraid that I would provoke trouble for the people of Fengcheng because I refused Li Yuanshan. In recent years, I have tried my best to train them, and I have not let them master more things to protect their lives on the battlefield? It's just my pains. These white eyed wolves don't understand. They don't think about it. Li Yuanshan forced them to join the army just to let them go The adults who died on the battlefield did not perfunctory but trained severely, just to give them more chances to live on the battlefield in the future. These idiots don't understand anything. "
"It's not a bad thing for the people to be simple. However, I train them to be strict, not just to keep them alive..."
Liu Han's words were as few as ever. He smiled at every people passing by in exchange for one white eye after another.
He didn't care. When he came to Simon, he told people not to check the people in and out, and don't care what they came in and out. It's a little puzzling. I don't understand what adults mean.
Just then, a horn sounded on the city wall. Liu Han's face changed and ran quickly up the horse path to the city wall. With the horn, some lazy defenders on the city wall were nervous. Everyone grabbed their weapons, the archer put the arrow pot within reach of his feet, pulled out one on the string and stared at the floating outside of the city smoke and dust.
The city gate began to close. Liu Han stood on the wall and shouted to the people outside to let them enter the city immediately. The people ran to the city in panic, and even those who left the city immediately turned back.
"My Lord, it's the flying wolf flag!"
After the lookout put down his eyes, the adult reported.
Liu Han frowned, "what are you doing here?"
He kept the soldiers on alert, but no arrows were allowed without an order.
Soon, the cavalry outside the city stopped about 200 meters away from the city gate, and then two or three cavalry separated from the team and hurried their horses to the outside of the city gate. One of the cavalry raised his head and shouted to the wall: "open the city gate quickly. We were ordered by general Bai Huo to go to Xiangcheng to see the secret service. If you block the trip, weigh the consequences yourself."
The speaker uses Chinese, but it's obviously a little tricky.
Liu Han stood on the city wall and looked carefully at the people outside with a thousand li's eyes. His eyebrows were getting deeper and deeper. After a while, he turned and walked down the city: "open a gap in the city gate. I'll go out and have a look myself."
Liu Fu and others were afraid that he would follow in case of an accident, but Liu Han waved his hand to show no need. In the city gate cave, dozens of soldiers opened a gap in the city gate, and people blocked there. In case of anything, they could close the city gate again immediately. Liu Han squeezed out of the gap, sorted out his clothes and strode over to the cavalry.
Liu Fu stood on the wall and watched nervously. His hands were full of sweat. He ordered those close soldiers 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, talked with the Mongolian leader for a while, turned back, and waved to open the gate as he walked. Liu Fu quickly ordered, and then took his own soldiers to the city to pick up Liu Han. After the gate was opened, the Mongolian Yuan people and their slave attendants urged their horses to enter the gate and went directly to the east gate without stopping. Liu Han asks his confidants to go to the east gate and tell the East Gate garrison not to block.
Looking at the cavalry of 3000 people, Liu Fu spat and scolded, "these barbarians will die sooner or later!"
"Not..."
Liu Han smiled and walked forward with his hands down.
"What do you mean, my lord?"
Liu Fu chased up and asked.
Liu Han smiled and said, "don't you see that the cavalry are not Mongolian at all."
"Ah?"
Liu Fu was stunned: "my subordinates really didn't see it. How do you know, sir?"
"I thought there was a problem when I was on the city wall. Those who stopped at least 200 meters outside the city gate were outside the range of the archers. Hehe... If they were Mongolian Yuan people, would you be so careful? The Mongolian Yuan people have been domineering in our Northwest for the past three years. Moreover, although the Mongolian Yuan people's cavalry are strong, they rarely form a queue when marching. Think about the cavalry before What was it like when I was? Especially the back team. The standard swallow tail array can attack and retreat. "
"Your Excellency knows everything!"
Liu Fu sincerely praised it.
"That's more than that. Although the two leaders of the team were wearing the robes of the Mongolian Yuan people, one of them with beard was somewhat similar to the Mongolian Yuan people, but the difference was that his eyes were not black, and most of the cavalry's eyes were not black. Although the appearance of the Mongolian Yuan people was very different from that of our Han people, their eyes were black. Therefore, the origin of these people was not clear It's hard to guess... Prince Xu organized people and horses to fight against mengnu and rebels in langrushan. Wanyan Yong, a great Han in northern Liao, sent cold cavalry to help. Seven or eight out of ten of these people were cavalry in northern Liao. "
Liu Fu was surprised: "what are they going to do? Do they want to sneak into Li Yuanshan's back road? It's impossible. How can only three or four thousand people have such courage? Even if they are so bold, they can't succeed."
"I don't know."
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 big Sui dragon flag I asked you to prepare ready?"
"Don't worry, sir. Thirty dragon flags have already been prepared and are hidden in my subordinates' homes. When my lord orders, my subordinates will take someone to cut down the Rebel Flag and replace it with the big Sui dragon flag."
"Well"
Liu Han nodded: "I guess... It won't be too long? Your majesty, the army has been killed less than 300 miles away from Xiangcheng. Li Yuanshan keeps dispatching troops from the rear, which proves that there is great pressure on the battlefield in front. The imperial army has won a series of battles, the morale is like a rainbow, and the end of the rebels is not far away!"
Hearing these words, Liu Fu was happy in his eyes: "my subordinates have been looking forward to this day for three years!"
Liu Han patted him on the shoulder: "after all, I am a citizen of the great Sui Dynasty and a servant of his majesty. I have to do something. Once the Imperial Army surrounds Xiangcheng, I will be the first to raise the Dragon flag. There are many people in the northwest cities and my general mind. As long as someone takes the lead, all places will respond one after another."
He raised his head, took a deep breath and looked at the dazzling sun.
Tears ran down his face.
Liu Fu looked at the adult's behavior incomprehensibly, and said in his heart that the adult was stabbed in his eyes by the sun?
……
……
After leaving Fengcheng, Wan Yan Chongde couldn't help but breathe a long sigh of relief, and then looked at Fang Xie and laughed: "I really didn't expect to come here so smoothly. Your idea is really good. When you didn't do it, you thought it was very dangerous. When you left the city, you thought about how to come here so easily and simply. There is really no good eye among the rebels guarding the city... But it's no wonder that the Mongolian Yuan people are used to bullying, and the rebels don't dare to provoke."
He smiled very freely, obviously in a good mood.
But when he finished, he didn't see Fang Xie's answer. Wan Yan Chongde looked at Fang Xie and saw that Fang Xie looked back at Fengcheng.
"What are you thinking?"
Wanyan asked.
Fang Jie took off his beard on his lips and looked at the flying wolf flag still held by his own soldiers for a while: "wrong."
"Wrong?"
Wanyan Chongde doesn't understand.
Fang Xie nodded: "no, it's not that the rebels didn't find us, but that they deliberately let us come over."
He asked people to remove the flying wolf flag. After a moment of silence, he said, "do you know what the biggest flaw is if guofengcheng wants to hide from the rebels?"
He pointed to his eyes: "Yes, you people in northern Liaoning have blue eyes, and Meng Yuan barbarians are black. I thought of it before, but I didn't say it. This time I bet on whether the rebels guarding the city would 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 saw through us. But he didn't say, but asked someone to open the city gate immediately Not because we were lucky, but because we met a general who was not one with the rebels. "
"Deliberately?"
Wan Yan Chongde was surprised and asked, "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?"
"No"
Fang Xie shook his head and was very determined.
"Why?"
Wanyan Chongde said, "it's better to be careful."
Fang Xie looked back at Fengcheng again, as if to find the old man who smiled at him before.
"Because he is a Sui, his eyes told me."
Fang Xie breathed a sigh of relief and pointed the whip forward: "speed up and rush forward. There are no rebels stationed at least 270 miles ahead. We can't waste time!"
"Drive"
He knocked on the red horse. The red horse shouted excitedly, spread its four hoofs and rushed out.
Fang Xie recalled the meaning in each other's eyes when he saw Liu Han. Then the corners of his mouth began to slowly outline a smile, which was the joy without a trace of impurities.
"Li Yuanshan... You've calculated everything, but you still haven't calculated one thing. Maybe it's enough to make it difficult for you to turn over again."
He thought in his heart, his eyes bright.
