In the afternoon, Gao Bufan and others finally arrived at the Linqing Pass. They saw that the place is bordered by the Wei River to the east, backed by Fenghuang Mountain, and the Yellow River to the south. The gate city is located in front of the valley, with the Wei River as a protective river. There is only a wooden fence on the river.

The bridge can be passed directly to the gate of Guan City. The terrain is very dangerous. It is true that one man can guard the pass and no one can open it.

Tang Yi said: "There are only fifty guards in Linqing Pass. Our team is called Duan Qingyan. We are familiar with this officer. Sirs, this officer calls me Shuangmen."

Gao Bufan said generously: "Master Tang, please help yourself!"

Tang Yi led two servants across the wooden bridge and came under the closed door. He put his hands in front of his mouth and shouted loudly: "My officer, Tang Yi, Duan Duan, please open and close the door."

Gao Bufan sat calmly on the horse and watched Tang Yi's every move. As long as the other party dared to play tricks, he was 100% sure that he could kill him with one arrow.

At this time, a military general appeared on the top of the city. Yang Qingruo frowned and said in a low voice: "It's strange. This person is definitely not the Duan Qingyan who was the leader of the team as mentioned by Tang Yi."

The state of Sui Dynasty was too short. It was so short that many things could not be recorded in history books. It was so short that even many systems had not had time to be perfected. For example, the military positions and the organization of the army in the Sui Dynasty were very chaotic. They were not at the same level.

The military regiments often have different strength. However, whether they are civil servants or military attachés, there are still regulations on how to dress.

Judging from the attire of the general who appeared on the city wall at this time, he was not the captain at all, but a military attache with a higher rank than the captain.

Sure enough, as soon as this general appeared, Tang Yi, who was under Guancheng, was obviously stunned and blurted out: "It's Captain Jia!"

The general at the top of the city was Jia Bin, the captain of Hanoi County. When this man saw Tang Tao, a hint of vague pride flashed in his eyes. He looked up at the two hundred cavalrymen on the other side of the Wei River and smiled "understanding".

He said: "It turns out to be Lord Tang. Wait a moment, I will order this person to open the city gate."

Yang Qingruo immediately pinched the horse's belly lightly, led twenty Feiyu guards onto the wooden bridge, and approached Tang Yi's master and servant. Apparently he sensed something was wrong and tried to regain control of the other party.

Gao Bufan originally wanted to stop him, but it was obviously too late, so he could only wink quietly at Yuchi Jingde, and then urged his horse to follow.

Although Yuchi Jingde looks rough, he is obviously a careful person. Gao Bufan just looked at him and he understood it, and led his two hundred horsemen to stand still to prevent changes!

At this time, the door of Linqingguan slowly opened. Tang Yi immediately led two servants straight to the city gate. Gao Bufan rode his horse to get in front of Yang Qingruo. The latter felt warm and quickly urged his horse to ride alongside the former.

And go.

There was a strange flash in the eyes of Deacon Sun Shangming, and he followed closely behind the two men with an ax in hand. Everyone successfully entered the door without any accidents, and both Gao Bufan and Yang Qingruo breathed a sigh of relief.

When Yuchi Jingde saw that nothing was wrong, he waved his hand, and more than two hundred soldiers from Yangfu on horseback crossed the bridge and entered the pass one after another.

Jia Bin, the captain of Hanoi County, came down from the top of the city and came to Tang Yi with a spring breeze on his face. He laughed and said, "Master Tang came very quickly!"

"Captain Jia's movements are not slow either." Tang Yi stroked his beard and said with a smile.

Jia Bin looked at Yang Qingruo and Gao Bufan, a hint of amazement flashed in his eyes, and asked a little doubtfully: "These two are very strange, are they from the Duke of Chu? Ah!"

Jia Bin suddenly screamed and covered his lower abdomen. It turned out that Tang Yi took out a dagger and stabbed him in the stomach fiercely.

"Lord Captain!" The soldier behind Jia Bin had his eyes cracked. He drew his weapon and rushed forward to save him. Tang Yi hurriedly drew out his dagger and staggered back, shouting: "Jia Bin is the internal agent of the Duke of Chu. Qing Qing

Manager, save me!"

Yang Qingruo had been watching indifferently, but when he saw that Tang Yi was about to die, he waved his hand. Deacon Sun immediately stepped forward and killed two of Captain Jia's soldiers with an axe.

Ten masters also rushed forward and killed all of Jia Duwei's soldiers with a few blows.

With blood pouring from his abdomen, Jia Bin pointed at Tang Yi and said in confusion: "Tang Yi, why... did you kill me?"

Seeing that Jia Bin was under control, Tang Yi felt at ease and said sternly: "Jia Bin, I was just deceived by a bad friend, and I had no choice but to pretend to seek refuge with Yang Xuangan. I am not the same person as you at all!"

Jia Bin was shocked and angry, and cursed: "You capricious villain, you will not die well!" As he spoke, he spit out a mouthful of blood, fell to the ground and died.

Gao Bufan stepped forward to check and confirmed that Jia Bin was dead, and then he said with a smile but not a smile: "Master Tang is good at swordsmanship, kill him with one sword!"

Tang Yi looked a little unnatural and said: "Jia Duwei is Yang Xuangan's internal agent who stayed in Hanoi County. I accidentally overheard it when I was in Liyangcang. I just found out that this person was guarding the gate. I was also shocked.

It is estimated that Duan Duzheng, who was originally guarding the pass, was killed by Jia Bin.

Jia Bin seized Linqing Pass, definitely to meet Yang Xuangan's army. He thought that he was coming on Yang Xuangan's orders, so he greeted him with a switch. I was worried that Jia Bin would recognize the identity of Manager Qing, so he had to attack first.

Stronger."

I don't know how much Tang Yi's words are true or false. Anyway, there is no proof now. It all depends on his words. You can make it up as you like. However, it is definitely true that Jia Bin is Yang Xuangan's person. Judging from the conversation he just had with Tang Yi

You can see it.

However, Tang Yi's little move was hidden from the keen eyes of Gao Bufan and Yang Qingruo. When Tang Yi pulled out the dagger from Jia Bin's stomach just now, he clearly cut it crosswise, otherwise Jia Bin wouldn't have cut it without saying a few words.

He died, so Tang Yi is suspected of silencing him, and what he said is definitely not entirely true.

But no matter what, Linqingguan could be taken down easily, and Tang Yi had established his great achievements, so Yang Qingruo did not intend to go into details, and should just let him go for the sake of this credit.

Let's say that Gao Bufan and others took over Linqing Pass and immediately cut off the wooden bridge on the Wei River. While reinforcing the city defense, they sent Feiyu to neighboring counties and counties to inquire about the situation. Fortunately, no one around responded to Yang Xuangan, so Hanoi County was still safe.

Yang Xuangan's army arrived very quickly. On the afternoon of the second day, the vanguard arrived on the other side of the Wei River. The leader was Yang Xuanting!

Yang Xuanting originally got the news that there was an internal agent in Linqing Pass. As soon as the army arrived, the internal agent would open the gate to let the army pass. But when he saw it, the wooden bridge in front of the pass was destroyed and the city was heavily guarded. He couldn't help but be puzzled.

.

At this time, Gao Bufan and Yang Qingruo both appeared on the top of Linqing Pass. Yang Xuanting was so angry that he almost bit his teeth!

Yang Qingruo was dressed in green clothes and covered with green gauze. Naturally, Yang Xuanting was very familiar with her. He had fought with this woman for five days in Dawn City not long ago, and he also recognized Gao Bufan. It was this woman who led the men to rescue Yang Qingruo.

Now that the two of them appeared at Linqing Pass, it was obvious that Linqing Pass was already under their control.

Damn it, it’s not like enemies don’t get together, let’s settle old and new grudges together today!

Yang Xuanting was furious and immediately ordered a bridge to be built to attack the city. It was just a dangerous location in Linqing, but it couldn't be compared to Dawn City. With the Wei River as a natural moat and it was built between two mountains, no matter how many of your troops you brought, you could only attack from the city.

If we cross the river to attack from the front, we cannot take full advantage of our superior strength.

Therefore, Yang Xuanting continued his fierce attack for three days but failed to break through. Instead, he killed and injured nearly a thousand people, and his morale was low.

On this day, Yang Xuangan finally arrived with his main force, but he saw that the flags were covering the sky and the sun, and the team stretched for dozens of miles, covering the mountains and plains. There were probably no less than a hundred thousand people. Even Yang Qingruo, who was standing on the top of the city, saw this formation.

She couldn't help but turn her pretty face pale.

Gao Bufan comforted him calmly: "Don't worry, no matter how many people Yang Xuan touches, he won't be able to survive!"

At this time, Yang Xuangan and Li Mi were also in the army watching the city at Linqing Pass. Both of them looked a little ugly, and they obviously recognized Gao Bufan next to Yang Qingruo.

"This son has repeatedly ruined my prince's important affairs. It is really hateful. My prince should have listened to Xuan Sui and killed this son!" Yang Xuangan clenched his fists angrily.

Li Mi was also filled with hatred. If it hadn't been for this boy's bad deeds, Jixian would have been captured by Ma Xingkong. With Jixian as a stronghold, the Duke of Chu would definitely choose the best strategy of sending troops to the north to occupy Youzhou, instead of choosing the nearby one.

Attacking the fortified city of Luoyang is such a bad idea!

After all, Li Mi had a strategy in his mind. Although he hated Gao Bufan for doing bad things, he still had a clear mind and advised decisively: "The pass is very dangerous and easy to defend but difficult to attack. It is not suitable to stay for a long time. The troops are valuable and quick. Instead of wasting time here, it is better to take a detour."

OK."
