Chapter 19 Chapter Six

Xie Xuan, Liu Laozhi and more than a dozen soldiers rode their horses across the Feishui River from the west bank of Feishui River. On both sides of this section of the river, there are spacious riverbanks. The water is slow and shallow, and the deepest part only reaches the belly of the horse. Xie Xuan looked at the east bank. At the end of the river bank was a sparse forest at the foot of Bagong Mountain, followed by the towering Bagong Mountain. The situation was majestic and majestic, with lush trees. When they reached the east bank, Xie Xuan was still groaning silently. When he reined in his horse, he looked back at the west bank which was two or three hundred paces away, and said in a deep voice: If Fu Jian leads the charge on fine cavalry to cross the river, our troops will not be enough to stop him.

Liu Laozhi said: This is easy, as long as we take advantage of Bagong Mountain's condescending position and set up a strong fortress, with strong bows and arrows, beating stones and rolling logs, we can teach Fu Jian how difficult it is to make an inch. Xie Xuan shook his head and said: This can only delay Fu Jian for a few days, he can not only divide his troops to bypass Bagong Mountain along the Fei River, but also find another way to go south and attack other counties instead. Liu Laozhi gasped and said, "Xuan Shuai is actually determined to fight Fu Jian in Feishui." Xie Xuan resolutely said: This is the only way to win. The bullying army has traveled a long distance and is physically exhausted, while we will recharge our energy and store up our energy. Let's fight fast and win quickly.Before the war, we took advantage of Fu Jian's underestimation of the enemy, used ingenious tactics to confuse the enemy many times, and led Fu Jian by the nose, and we will surely win this battle.

Liu Laozhi asked in a low voice: "Dare to ask Xuan Shuai what method to confuse the enemy, and let the prison do it." Xie Xuandao: When our two armies joined forces, we all moved to Xiashi City in Bagong Mountain by day and night, waiting for the order to attack. Beifu soldiers were divided into two groups, one group led by He Qian, and the other group led by Xie Shi and Xie Yan. They marched from Liyang, and with the addition of Shouyang's troops, the total strength reached 80,000.There are only so many soldiers that Yangzhou may deploy, and they are the main force to guard Jiankang.Therefore, it can be said that Xie Xuan was putting all his eggs in one basket. Therefore, he had to decide the outcome of the battle with Fu Jian. Because of the disparity in numbers, the Jiangzuo regime was simply unable to carry out a protracted large-scale comprehensive offensive and defensive war.This not only requires Xie Xuan's courage.Thanks to Xie An's prestige and full support.Xie Xuan is now able to immediately go to the east bank of Feishui and command the battle with full authority, which is not easy to come by.

Xie Xuan said again: We must not strengthen any defenses at Bagong Mountain, so as not to make Fu Jian wary, and try to make Fu Jian think that our front-line troops are weak. I want Hu Bin to abandon Shouyang at the right time. This means. Liu Laozhi hesitated and said: "But just like Xuanshuai said, Feishui is shallow, so it's hard to stop the enemy's natural danger. Even if we sleep on Bagong Mountain, it's still hard to stop Huma from crossing the river, not to mention alas!"not to mention Xie Xuan looked at him when he heard the words, and continued calmly: "What's more, we lack war horses, and there are only ten thousand horses available, right?"

Liu Laozhi was dejected and speechless, the enemy cavalry had more than 200,000 soldiers, and they were all elites who were good at riding and shooting. Can't last long. Xie Xuan showed an inscrutable and deep smile, and said lightly: Immediately, the prison will have people secretly tie up tens of thousands of grass and tree dummies in Xiashi City, and put them in military uniforms, but don't erect them rashly. After I give orders, I can act according to plan. Liu Jianyi agreed in a daze. Xie Xuan's eyes shot out incomparably affectionate, he slowly inspected the Feishui, and said softly: Whether I, Xie Xuan, can leave an eternal reputation for Uncle An depends on whether Fu Jian crosses the river by taking this section of the river as I expected. I will do everything I can to make him do this.

when!when!when! The giant bell tower at the intersection of the four gates knocked sky-high, shaking the sky above the deserted land, blasting through the streets and alleys, and even entering the wine storehouse through the broken entrance, becoming a ringing sound that echoed endlessly in the ear drums of the three of them. , completely covering up the noise of the sandstone wine jar falling down the stone steps. For a moment, the three of them still couldn't figure out what happened, their six eyes met, and they looked at each other in blank dismay. Until the sound of the bell turned from sharp to slow, and there was only a slow ringing that hit people's heart, Tuobagui was startled and said: It is the bell ringing ceremony to welcome Fu Jian into the city.After saying that, he jumped up from the ground, swept across the narrow alleys full of fine wine, and rushed towards the exit.

Liu Yu and Yan Fei woke up and hurriedly followed. The stone steps at the exit are covered with broken blocks of wood, bricks and broken altars, and the aroma of wine rolls straight into the wine cellar. They racked their brains and carefully designed the support. The witch who put them to death destroyed them in one fell swoop. Tuobagui skimmed up the stone steps without stopping, and disappeared outside the exit. When Yan and Liu came to the dining room on the first floor where the exit was located, the bell just stopped, and the lingering sound was still lingering in the ears of the three. inside the space.

Holding a pair of halberds, Tuobagui was peeping out of one of the windows. The evening sun was lazily pouring in from the west window. The world outside the dining room was unusually quiet, and the sound of horseshoes could be faintly heard from the north gate. Suddenly, the cry of long live the king of heaven resounded at the north gate, undulating like a tide. Liu Yu flashed to the open door and looked in the direction of the first floor. In the dining room, except for the wreckage of the stove and pots and sundries everywhere, the walls were intact. Yan Fei was careful not to make any noise. He moved to the north window and looked out. The backyard on the first floor was quiet. Neither the enemy nor the demon girl An is missing.

Tuobagui shook his head and laughed dumbly: "This is the great fortune among misfortunes. An Yaonv wanted to harm us, but she figured out the situation outside for us. It can be seen that we are so blessed that we should not die." Liu Yu gritted his teeth with hatred and said: She can still frame us now, as long as she throws a few stones at us, the enemy will surely be alarmed. Yan Fei asked him: Is there anyone in the building? Liu Yu replied: "There is no one downstairs, but there must be upstairs." Due to the cover of shouting, the three of them could only speak in a low voice, but they were not heard.

Tuobagui moved quickly, peeping out from every window, and finally moved to the other side of Liu Yu, and Yan Fei also came to Liu Yu's side, and said in a deep voice: "As far as I guess, when the demon girl An rushed out of the stone steps, it was just The moment the bell strikes.She will mistakenly think that she has found a trace for the enemy.So ring the bell to warn.In a moment of desperation, she fled out the back door desperately and hid far away. Even if she understood at this time, she had missed the opportunity to harm us again, so she could only sigh in vain, unless she dared to sneak back.

The sound of hoofbeats sounded, and a group of patrolling horses slowly passed by the long alley outside the backyard wall. Although the three of them knew that the enemy could not see them, they still couldn't help squatting down, as if it would be safer. After the patrolmen left, the shouting gradually subsided. Tuobagui lowered his voice and said: "I thought that Nizi had a good impression of our Brother Fei and would not betray us, but I didn't know that a witch is a witch, and her nature is hard to change. If I catch her, I will make her regret her life." Yan Fei knew his character of vengeance, and knew even more about his cruelty, but An Yuqing really didn't deserve sympathy, so she sighed silently. The mood of the three escaped unharmed is still not calmed down, and they feel a little joy in the stimulation. Tuoba Gui said to Liu Yu: How is your injury? Liu Yu said: "It's 80% or 90% better."No matter how badly I was injured, I always recovered more quickly than anyone expected. Yan Fei was surprised and said: Brother Liu's physique must be different from ordinary people. Tuobagui said: "It's getting dark soon!"We have to decide immediately how to act. Liu Yudao: We must advance together and retreat together. One is to leave, and the other is to stay. Tuobagui praised: "Good man!" Yan Fei shook his head and said: "There are only two sets of military uniforms, how can we advance and retreat together?"Put on your military uniforms first! The light outside dimmed, giving it a sense of desolation and desolation.This is no longer the wasteland that Yan Fei is used to, and a devastating storm of war is brewing. Tuobagui said: Alright!We pretended to be Qin Bing, and then acted accordingly, trying to cover Yan Fei. Liu Yu pondered for a moment, finally agreed, and said: "Leave the burden inside, let's go downstairs to change clothes, brother Yan, how about keeping the wind here?" Yan Fei nodded in agreement, and waited for the two to get into the tunnel and guard by the door. well! How did it become like this? The peaceful life for the past year suddenly disappeared. While he was thinking, the sound of leather boots stomping on the ground came from outside the gate of the first floor. Yan Fei looked down in amazement, and immediately yelled in his heart that a group of nearly twenty Qin soldiers was heading towards the first floor. Come. One of the leaders ordered his subordinates in Di language: "Search carefully for me, the king of heaven is coming soon!" Yan Fei was even more frightened, and stepped back in a hurry, picked up a large iron wok with a gap in it from the ground, jumped into the tunnel, and sealed the exit with the iron wok. Tuoba Gui and Liu Yu, who were putting on Qin Bing's uniform at the foot of the stone steps, stopped moving and stared at him dumbfounded. Only the ears of the three are still operating normally. Listening to the footsteps on the ground, they can only hope that God will protect them from beginning to end. Jiankang City, inside the Wangguan Xuan of Xie Mansion in Wuyi Lane. Xie An and Xie Daoyun sat in a corner, lit a stove of high-quality sandalwood, drank tea and talked. Xie An has not talked with Xie Daoyun like this for many years. Since she married into the Wang family, the chances of them seeing each other have been greatly reduced. Only during festive festivals do they have the chance to get together. . Every time I see my talented niece, I always feel that she is preoccupied.He was a little afraid to ask her, and he also felt helpless when he didn't know where to ask, and what if he knew! Today I couldn't help but ask: How is Ningzhi treating you? Xie Daoyun lowered his head to avoid his gaze, and said softly: "It's not bad, isn't it?" Knowing that she didn't want to speak out, Xie An secretly sighed, and said: The matter about the Maitreya Sect should be very secret, so I haven't heard the slightest word about it, how did Ningzhi know about it. Xie Daoyun said softly: He heard it from the national treasure. Did the second uncle not know that the national treasure had gone to Luoyang to see Zhu Faqing three times? Xie An smiled wryly and shook his head, making up his mind that even if Wang Tan's relatives said something, he would not let his daughter return to the Wang family.Wang Guobao's son is hopeless, if it weren't for Weng's son-in-law's little affection, Xie An would do everything possible to get rid of him even if Sima Daozi supported him. Said in a deep voice: Ningzhi has always had a good relationship with the national treasure, why did he tell you about it?Isn't he afraid that Dao Yun will expose it to me? Xie Daoyun showed a bitter expression, lowered his head and said softly: He just wanted Daoyun to tell his second uncle, so as to prevent the clutches of the Maitreya Sect from reaching into Jiankang.According to his observation and exploration, the national treasure has become Zhu Faqing's successor, and the national treasure is so well hidden that no one except Ning knows about it.well!With the emperor and King Langya behind him, what if someone knows? Xie An was surprised: "I never expected Ningzhi to have such insight and courage." Xie Daoyun looked disdainful, and sighed: Second Uncle overestimated him!well!Has no one told you that he believes in the way of heavenly masters?Every day besides writing, he draws talismans and recites mantras.For him, Buddhism is the way of magic, and Maitreya religion is the way of magic in the way of magic. Xie An was dumbfounded, and finally understood why Xie Daoyun was depressed after marrying into the Wang family.The noble families living in Jiangzuo not only lived corruptly, but also their spirits were not spared. What hope is there for the Southern Jin Dynasty? The three of them listened to the movements on the ground above them holding their breaths. Since they were only separated by a wok, they could clearly hear the chaotic footsteps, even the enemy's breathing. They made up their minds that as soon as the wok was removed, they would immediately attack with all their strength and forcefully break through. Who would have guessed that Fu Jian was still interested in coming to the first floor after the long journey, and Yan Fei felt even more regretful that he could not taste Pang Yi's hand-made side dishes and the fragrance of snow. It is almost certain that the people above are from Fu Rong's side, because no one was surprised by the current situation of the dining room, because Fu Rong's people had come to search earlier, and it was replaced by Fu Jian's personal soldiers who had just arrived, so it was not a big surprise. When most of the people above went through the back door to check the backyard, the sound of two pairs of boots stepping on broken tiles and scrap iron sounded, and they gradually approached the exit. when! A wok was overturned with a loud and sharp arrow piercing the ears of the three people, and the three hearts were lifted up to their throats. Fortunately, it was not the wok on top of their heads that was overturned. One of them yelled in Di language: Don't kick bang bang bang, it makes people upset. Lifting the wok, Qin Bing said harshly: We are not made of iron, we only slept for two hours last night, tonight Another person interrupted him and said, "Tianwang's people work harder than us. I heard that they haven't closed their eyes for two days."let's go!What to search for here. Footsteps turned to the backyard. The three breathed a sigh of relief at the same time, left the stone steps, and went to a corner to talk. Tuobagui said in a low voice: The situation is very favorable to us. Fu Jian and Fu Rong are all exhausted, and their vigilance has been greatly weakened. If we can make good use of the relationship between the two parties who don't know each other, there is a great chance of getting confused pass. Liu Yu cheered up and said: How to use it? Tuobagui said: Fu Jian and Fu Rong's pro-army regiments have their own subordinates, and they are not familiar with each other.Now it is clear that Fu Rong's people are in charge of guarding the outer perimeter of the first floor, and Fu Jian's personal soldiers should guard the building, so as long as we pretend to be Fu Jian's people, we can go outside the building without hindrance. The only problem is that we must Capture another uniform. Liu Yu nodded his head and said: "This can be adaptable, try to find a way."As long as you touch the place where Fu Jian's people rest, you can have as many sets as you want. Yan Fei said: You go!I will stay here and listen to what Fu Jian has to say. The two were stunned. Yan Fei smiled and said: Come with me! He led the two of them along the wall, and suddenly took a jar of wine from the wooden shelf, and said, "Look! A copper pipe as thick as an arm protrudes from the wall, and another piece of copper pipe is placed at the end, which can be pulled out to extend the pipe, which is convenient for eavesdropping.At this time, the end of the copper pipe is wrapped with cloth. The two of them understood that this kind of facility was not abnormal, but a customary arrangement for monitoring ground movement in the secret room of the basement.Of course, such places are used to avoid disasters or store valuables. With the tools to monitor the ground, you can go out safely after the enemy has left, without cutting off the news and knowing nothing about the situation above.It's just that the two of them never thought that the wine storehouse would be so well-equipped. Yan Fei explained: This copper pipe leads to the middle of the lower floor and the upper floor respectively, and is hidden in the main wooden column. The design is very ingenious. Since the opening of the first floor, no outsider has ever noticed it.That boy Gao Yan likes to eavesdrop on people's conversations here, but he has to pay for it.Twenty dollars per trip. Liu Yu couldn't help laughing, acting like a fool is indeed different from other places. Tuobagui praised: Pang Yi is really not simple. Yan Fei nodded and said: Although he has mediocre martial arts skills, he has magic weapons all over his body. He built the first floor with his own hands, and he single-handedly selected materials and wood. Liu Yudao: Let me listen to it. Tuobagui grabbed him and said: "Fu Jian hasn't arrived yet, what's the matter, it's important." Then he said to Yan Fei: If everything goes well, we can come back in half an hour, remember not to drink. Yan Fei smiled wryly and said: It doesn't matter if you have two sips! Tuobagui came close to his ear and warned: If you pretend to be from Qin, but you smell like wine, think about the consequences.Hey!Remember that half a sip of wine is not allowed to drink. After all, he dragged Liu Yu to go.
