Chapter 161 Confused Jin Dakang and Luo Shicheng
"I'm not here to discuss with you, but to inform you."
"I will definitely go to Yanmen Pass, but I won't take away all the combat power of Ruinuo City."
"Five hundred people, just pick five hundred good people who are willing to come with me."
Looking at the three women who were still talking, Xi Honglei continued: "I am not only doing this for Qi Shaoshang, but also for the people at the border and Ruinuo City."
"Everyone knows the importance of Silla's troop dispatch this time. If the other side breaks the gate of Yanmen Pass, the people at the border will definitely be in dire straits."
"Although we have our own city, it is close to the border and with only 3,000 elites, how can we withstand Silla's army?"
The three of them were silent when they heard this. Xi Honglei had already made it clear that he would have to fight whether it was for Qi Shaoshang or to destroy Nuo City.
"Auntie is short of five hundred people. Let's bring a thousand people. I will go with Auntie."
Qin Wanqing stood up as she spoke.
The fourth mother is still young and cannot take on a big responsibility. The second mother has to sit in Ruinuo City and guard the base camp, so she is the most suitable.
Xi Honglei glanced at Qin Wanqing and didn't refuse. With more people, more things could be done, and Sanniang was quick and resourceful, so it was the best choice to save Qi Shaoshang and follow him.
Seeing the silence of the other two people, Xi Honglei immediately stood up.
"In that case, let's follow Sanniang's advice. Sanniang, please pack up and set off."
"Xiaohong, go and choose five hundred more people."
Xiao Hong, as the maid who was responsible for Qi Hong's tears, was naturally used to this kind of thing. After hearing this, she immediately said: "City Lord, Xiao Hong personally made the decision to select 500 more people. When Sanniang is ready, we can set off at any time."
The pressure put on Qin Wanqing, but she really had to deal with it.
"Gather the army and wait for me for a quarter of an hour."
After Qin Wanqing said that, she turned around and left. People like them who are half-world people will naturally have a bag ready for travel at any time.
Qin Wanqing went back and changed into casual clothes, took her luggage and left. The main reason was that her clothes were too conspicuous at the border.
The moment the sun came up, just when Li Xiuzhu had captured Juyong Pass, Xi Honglei and the others also set off.
At noon, Qi Shaoshang left with more than 3,000 people and 7,000 troops from Lianyun Village.
Of the seven aristocratic families in the city, five of them who resisted were killed, and the remaining two were caught in front of Li Xiuzhu.
Looking at Li Xiuzhu, the two No. 100 men from aristocratic families couldn't believe it.
Li Xiuzhu is really too young, as young as a new recruit.
"General, what do you mean by arresting us? Is there some misunderstanding?"
Li Xiuzhu did not rush to speak when he heard this. Instead, he took a sip of tea and then said: "This general is not killing innocent people indiscriminately, but he is an innocent person who is obedient."
"If you are disobedient, you will rather kill a hundred by mistake than let one go."
"The reason why you are still alive is that you are still obedient, but that's just okay."
Hearing Li Xiuzhu's words, a middle-aged man suddenly asked knowingly: "I wonder what the adults need? Even though the villain has a small fortune, he is also very obedient."
"If I can help the adults, I will do my best to help you."
Li Xiuzhu heard this and glanced at the middle-aged man who spoke.
This man looked to be in his thirties, with a shrewd look, and he could tell he was very calculating.
After Li Xiuzhu was silent for a while, he suddenly said: "How many servants and thugs do you have?"
When the two heard this, they immediately thought that Li Xiuzhu was recruiting soldiers. This was normal, but also very bold.
Generally, no general will choose to increase troops in an uncertain place unless he reaches a dead end.
At this moment, one of them couldn't help but look down on Li Xiuzhu.
It's just that his subordinates are more powerful and their methods are more ruthless, which is far behind smart people like them.
The two of them were not afraid of Li Xiuzhu's conscription, but instead asked Li Xiuzhu for more.
"I have 1,200 nursing homes in my house."
"There are 800 nursing homes in my house."
2,000 people is enough.
"You two will go back and find a confidant to take someone to summon them."
"Guanfang, find a thousand households and take them to build the city wall."
"Remember, if there is resistance, we will kill you."
"If more than half of the people who resist resist, we will kill them all. Just come back and say something."
Wang Guanfang was startled when he heard this, but he had already killed enough people today, and he didn't care about a few more.
"Yes, sir!"
"Okay, take them all down."
"Yes, sir!"
At this moment, hundreds of people from the two aristocratic families are numb, how can they still operate like this?
The two heads of the family immediately looked at each other and felt that something was wrong.
It's hard to guess Li Xiuzhu's thoughts, but if you do something wrong, someone will die.
However, the two of them also noticed Li Xiuzhu's moodiness and did not dare to speak again. They could only go down to find his cronies and go home.
At the same time, the Silla soldiers stationed between the three passes finally realized something was wrong.
"Sir, the people below were patrolling just now and found that there is no flag of our Silla in Juyong Pass."
At this moment, Jin Dakang was stunned.
The meaning of this sentence was so easy to understand, but once he understood it, he became even more confused.
when?
The Zhou army stole the city last night? But why didn't anyone send a distress signal?
Li Xiuzhu fired a sounding arrow here, but the sound of the sounding arrow could not travel ten miles. Not many fireworks in later generations could achieve this level.
There was a bright light from the explosion, but unfortunately everyone was drowsy at that point, and Silla's observers also missed the fleeting light.
"Asshole, are you saying that Juyongguan is gone?"
As he spoke, Jin Dakang gathered the messenger soldier up, grabbed him by the collar and asked: "Asshole, you dare to lie to me?"
"Sir, I really didn't lie to you."
Jin Dakang glared at the messenger, unable to detect any signs of lying.
Jin Dakang felt cold in his heart and said angrily: "When did it happen? Why are you talking about it now?"
"Sir, we also discovered it when we went on patrol at dawn."
Jin Dakang was extremely angry. How could no one notice such a big thing like the fall of Juyongguan?
"Someone, lock him up."
After the two guards rushed in, Jin Dakang continued: "Send someone to Juyongguan to check the news and see what the current situation is at Juyongguan."
"If it is found that he is still in the hands of our army, he will be chopped into pieces and fed to the eagles."
At this time, no one dared to stroke the tiger's beard in Jin Dakang.
At the same time, Li Xiuzhu sent a messenger and quickly arrived outside Shanhaiguan.
"Who is coming?"
"I am Li Xiang, a hundred households in the Sixteenth Guards of the Imperial City. General, may I be here?"
Shanhaiguan is currently at war, so of course they dare not open the door, so Li Xiang can only inform him under the city wall.
It was morning at this time, and Luo Shicheng, who was worried about Silla's attack on the city, naturally came to the tower.
When he heard the other party calling him, Luo Shicheng looked down the tower.
The black armor was very familiar to him. He recognized the origin of the black armor at a glance and immediately believed it.
"I am Luo Shicheng, who is your general?"
"Li Xiang from one hundred households met with the general. Our general is the hussar general Li Xiuzhu."
Luo Shicheng was startled when he heard this, looked at the black-armored soldier below and asked in disbelief: "Are you talking about Prime Minister Fu's son-in-law Li Xiuzhu?"
