Royal Road - Chapter 272

[Chapter 271 | City]

When the army is on the move, Jicheng, as the rear, is actually not leisurely.

Ensuring the smooth flow of food passages is the most critical part.

The grain that supports the hundreds of thousands of troops is not easily transported with the army, and requires a considerable number of servants, cattle and horses to carry it.

Fortunately, Youzhou has no shortage of livestock and can borrow grain from Jizhou.

Otherwise, just transporting the grain will damage the root of the vitality.

However, the guards of Jicheng have been rather slack these days.

All the important and important officials went out with the governor, and the burden of city defense was really light.

Daily inspections are nothing more than military orders for baggage and food preparation.

It is also a good thing that during the war, there is still a ban to observe, otherwise it is difficult to say what these soldiers will look like.

Today, however, things have changed suddenly.

A light cavalry of five hundred people galloped along the official road.

The horse’s hooves flew like a thunderbolt, and it didn’t stop in front of the city.

Chengmen Hou was shocked and hurriedly sent someone to stop it. The commander at the head of the team had already raised the symbol in his hand: “The military situation is urgent, open the city gate quickly!”

That is the symbol of the general!

Holders of the talisman, not to mention the city gate, even the General’s Mansion can enter at will.

The Chengmen Hou fixed his eyes on the dress of the person who came, and his complexion changed greatly.

The armor of this group of soldiers was damaged, their clothes were bloody, and many others were injured.

It was obviously the remnants who rushed out after a fight.

What made them rush back to Jicheng?

Could it be that the front camp has changed?

Not caring about the number of people on the other side, the city gate Hou quickly made way for the passage and let people into the city.

The soldiers below were even more panicked, watching the team disappear at the end of the street.

However, they did not know that after the group entered the city, they split into two groups.

The brigade took the general’s mansion directly, and the remaining dozens of horses turned their horses and galloped towards the east of the city.

After a while, the team soon arrived in front of the General’s Mansion.

Seeing the general’s token, the guards dared to stop him, and immediately took people to the lobby.

Now in the mansion, it is Wang Jun’s confidant Liu Sima, who is in charge of the army’s food route.

When I heard that someone came with a talisman, I couldn’t help being surprised and rushed out to greet him.

When the captain of the school saw Liu Sima, he hurried forward two steps and knelt on the ground: “The former army is ambushed, and the life of the general is in danger! Jiang Changshi ordered me to come and report the letter!”

He reached out and handed the king Jun’s token.

Holding the talisman, Liu Sima broke down in cold sweat. This thing must not be faked, and it is impossible to take it out easily.

But just a few days after dispatching troops, how could this be?

Liu Sima clenched the talisman: “What’s going on?!”

The captain showed a look of anger and anger, and said in a low voice, “It was the commander of Jizhou, Yi Boyuan, who swindled the captive and disrupted the camp. Jiang Changshi was with him. The generals rectified the defeated troops, and also specially instructed Jicheng to pay attention to the way back, in case they were attacked.”

“Where’s the general? Are you seriously injured?” Liu Sima asked.

“Extremely heavy. I don’t know if I can survive until the return, so the city should make preparations early…”

Hearing this, Liu Sima looked at the soldiers behind the captain, suddenly woke up, and got up immediately: “Go ask General Pu! Please come quickly too!”

Pu Wen was Wang Jun’s confidant and favorite general, and also the chief of the city’s defenders, so it was a matter of course for him to be called.

But inviting Wang Ying to come, the intention was much more profound.

Although he was a concubine, Wang Ying was widely used by his father.

After Wang Jun left Jicheng, he led the remaining personal soldiers.

On weekdays, this arrangement would be more appropriate.

But what if Wang Jun died?

His heir, Wang Zhou, was seven years old, so how could he be able to compete with Wang Yu’s subordinates?

As soon as he heard the news of his father’s death, Wang Ying was afraid that he would get mad and ruin the succession.

We must recruit him as soon as possible, stabilize his soldiers, and wait for the general to return to Jicheng.

No wonder Jiang Changshi sent four or five hundred people just to report the letter!

Liu Sima couldn’t help but whispered: “You guys have to act according to the situation later. If there is anything wrong, the young master is in the West Pavilion, and immediately go to guard!”

The captain didn’t say much, but nodded neatly. , with a dozen soldiers behind him, and retreated to the side.

However, before Liu Sima could figure out how to deal with the matter, someone outside said, “Young Master Ying asks to see you.”

Come so fast!

Liu Sima knew something was wrong, so he quickly got up and went out: “Young Master Ying…”

Wang Ying was not interested in greetings, and said flatly, “I heard that Fan Yang is here? How is the situation in the former army?”

He also heard that someone was holding his father The news of Fujie’s entry into the city can’t sit still.

I rushed over immediately and wanted to ask.

“Here, the former army was ambushed, the main camp was defeated, and the soldiers were being gathered…” Liu Sima did not say everything, trying to stabilize the opponent first, and then make plans when General Pu arrives.

However, Wang Ying didn’t like this: “Where is the messenger? Bring him to see me!”

“Young Master Ying, do you remember the last commander?” Someone asked behind him, and the person who asked the question was not the former captain.

Wang Ying looked at the person who was speaking, and suddenly frowned, “You…you are…”

He seemed to remember something, but before he could speak, the man had already stepped forward, and the long knife in his hand lit up and pierced into the Liu Sima’s vest.

Unprepared at all, Liu Sima’s eyes suddenly opened to the fullest, his hands and feet trembled, and he stopped breathing.

This was too abrupt, let alone Wang Ying, even the guards next to him didn’t react.

But they couldn’t react in time, and someone moved.

The dozen or so messengers raised their knives in unison and rushed towards Wang Ying and the soldiers beside him.

One side was prepared, the other was unintentional. In an instant, the personal guard beside Wang Ying was completely killed, while his hands were tied and thrown in front of the murderer who killed Liu Sima.

“You are that Jie slave!” Wang Ying finally reacted at this time, and shouted loudly in shock and anger.

He had met Yi Yan.

When meeting Liang Zixi that year, Yi Yan was by his side.

Although the two have never spoken a word, how can they not tell the difference because of their unique appearance?

How did this Jienu get to Jicheng?

Didn’t the father plan to win over this person, and even decided to marry him?

Wait, he killed Liu Sima and his father’s token, could it be that… Wang Ying is not stupid, he immediately wanted to understand the joints, and his face became pale.

Yi Yan didn’t reply immediately, those cold gray-blue eyes swept across him, and suddenly asked, “Dare to ask where

the two sons Wang Zhou and Wang Yi are?”

strong.

Wang Ying raised his head in anger: “Thief slave! Don’t even think

about getting it out of my mouth…” Before he could finish his words, the icy blade had already slashed.

Wang Ying felt a pain in his ear, and thick blood spurted out.

His ears were cut off by Yi Yan!

“Ahhh!” Where did Wang Ying suffer from this?

screamed.

Yi Yan picked up the blade and pinned it on his nose: “Nose, eyes, ears, lips, hands, feet, and limbs, Young Master Ying, please be careful, there is not much chance of you answering incorrectly.

” Cut the same?

Wang Ying’s teeth trembled: “In the back house, the west pavilion of the back house! Both are here!”

His father’s two direct sons were not enough for him to pay such a price.

This answer is the same as what Liu Sima said.

Yi Yan winked at the soldiers beside him, and a hundred people immediately formed a formation and rushed towards the back house.

Yi Yan turned his head and asked again, “Where are the other brothers of Mr. Ying? Where do they live?”

Wang Ying had already reacted at this moment. This Jienu was afraid that he wanted to kill all his siblings and let his father have the power in his hands. No one can follow.

But how many soldiers did he bring?

How many times can these four or five hundred people be allocated?

Without any hesitation, Wang Ying immediately said: “The three elder brothers are all in the Chengxi Palace, and there is a younger brother who is serving in the Prefect’s Palace.” Let’s

split up!

Just now, Liu Sima also recruited General Pu, and he will lead his troops to come in a short time. Wouldn’t he be able to save his life?

Wang Ying’s eyes flashed with anticipation. At this time, he must not anger the other party. As long as he drags it out for a while, there will always be a chance to escape!

But this time, Yi Yan did not act.

It started to become noisy outside, and there seemed to be a confrontation.

The General’s Mansion is guarded by personal soldiers, so even if you can’t react for a while, it won’t drag on for too long.

Yi Yan didn’t care about the sound outside the door, the long sword in his hand sank and rested on the opponent’s shoulder: “I poisoned the lord that day, but what was your order?”

Wang Yan was taken aback.

Before answering, the sword swung down.

The pain struck again, and he rolled to the ground with his mouth wide open.

The large piece of flesh on the shoulder was shaved off until it was exposed!

That is several times more painful than missing an ear!

Wang Ying was really scared. He discovered a key problem.

He was the one who met Liang Zixi that day. What if this Jienu threw his guilt on him?

Will he really let himself live?

Maybe it was because he didn’t wait for the answer, the man’s sword turned upside down again and pointed at Wang Yan’s leg: “I don’t know how many knives it takes to kill him in a hurry.”

“It’s Zhang Dian! It was Zhang Dian Zhang Shuya who poisoned him that day. I really don’t know, it’s all the thief’s fault! It was he who coveted the Wang family’s Qiniang and made a ruthless attack!” Wang Ying howled.

If you are delayed by a knife, you might as well die now!

That’s what Zhang Dian did!

It’s not him!

Yi Yan’s eyes became even colder, as cold as ice: “Where is Zhang Dian?”

“I don’t know! I wanted to kill him at that time, but he had already escaped! It is said that he went to the Xiongnu Han Kingdom! I really don’t know… Please, please forgive me, I’m willing to take the pledge and keep you out of the city!” Wang Ying felt wet in his thighs.

He didn’t want to die, he really didn’t!

Even without the identity of Wang’s concubine, without everything that he has now, he still wants to steal his life, he wants to live!

Looking at the man begging on the ground, Yi Yan clenched the sword in Yi Yan’s hand even tighter.

The lord was killed by such a villain.

Such an abominable thing!

Before going to Jicheng, he made up his mind to find this son and cut him by a thousand swords!

I didn’t expect it to come without effort.

As long as this person is killed, what are the other concubines?

Unfortunately, he doesn’t have enough time.

The long sword was handed over and pierced into the man’s chest.

Yi Yan looked at the blood-stained face struggling and twisting, and gradually lost his voice.

Zhang Dian Zhang Shuya, he remembered.

“General, Wang’s child has been killed, and the guards in the house are also except seven or eight!” A blood-soaked personal soldier rushed in.

Yi Yan drew his sword, shook it lightly, and shook off the blood on the sword: “Set fire! Turn to attack

the governor’s mansion!” The palace is too far away from the general’s mansion. The treasury, expanding the chaos.

The fire in the granary in the east of the city should have already started, but there is not much time left…

When General Pu arrived with his troops, the general’s mansion was already blazing.

His face turned pale, and he shouted loudly: “Quick! Come and put out the fire!” In the

mansion, the direct wife of the general’s direct son lived. If they lost their lives, how would they explain to the general?

However, before the soldiers rushed in, someone else came to report in embarrassment: “General! The governor’s mansion is also on fire! I heard that the group of thieves rushed out of the governor’s mansion and went west of the city!”

General Pu shook his body and shouted loudly: ” Divide your troops! Hurry up and divide your troops to stop them! The city gate is guarded by me, I can’t let this group of thieves leave!”

Do they want to live?

Destroy the General’s Mansion and the Governor’s Mansion, ignite the granary, and create a fire in the east of the city.

How many people are there in this group of thieves, how dare they be so arrogant?

!

He can’t let this group of thieves go!

They must be left alive!

However, at this moment, a fierce battle has begun at the city gate.

There is a response inside and a strong army outside, how can this group of guards who don’t pay much attention stop it?

In a flash, the city gate changed hands!

Liu Gong wiped off the blood on his face: “Where’s the general?”

“The general set fire to the palace, and said he will come when the palace is burnt.”

It was too loud.

Liu Gong looked at the black smoke billowing from all over the city, with admiration and fear.

This smashing blow, let alone an enemy, almost couldn’t handle it.

I don’t know when the garrison in the city will respond.

We must hurry up and leave quickly.

Their strength cannot afford to delay.

“Guard the city gate. Go see if there are horses in the enemy camp? If there are, bring them all!”

In order to catch up with the real messengers, they rushed to Jicheng day and night, and the consumption of horses was too great.

If you don’t change horses, you probably won’t be able to escape.

But now the horses that can be found are extremely limited, one is one.

The soldiers below moved quickly.

Liu Gong anxiously stood by the city gate, waiting for the man to return.

A quarter of an hour, two quarters of an hour, less than three quarters, more than three hundred horses galloped along the road.

“General succeeded!” Liu Gong shouted loudly.

Seeing his own camp from a distance, Yi Yan shouted loudly: “Withdraw!”

Without hesitation, everyone mounted their horses, blood wrapped in scorched smoke, like a dark cloud scraping across the city gate, rushing all the way!
