More than ten carriages of wealthy merchants who purchased Shu brocade were about to leave Liangzhou. The business of Shu brocade was not going well, so after these people came back to pay business, they hurried back to their respective states and counties.
The people in the eight counties of Liangzhou are all fierce. The guards of these wealthy merchants also carried bows and swords on their backs and looked around carefully.
"Come closer, come closer!" At the gate of the city, a Liangzhou general held a wanted portrait in his hand and began to check them one by one. Anyone with a thick beard would be caught and pulled twice.
Yin Hu and the two of them stood silently behind after the disguise. A small cloth merchant who hired them also nervously rubbed the sweat on his forehead.
"I told you, those behind you should come closer!"
Yin Hu lowered his hands, followed the little cloth merchant, and walked straight forward.
"Three scarfaces?"
"Staying in the old forest for the night, a fire suddenly broke out. Of the six guards I brought, only three were left." The little cloth merchant said with a smile. If it weren't for the two hundred taels of silver, he would not have taken three people with unknown origins.
people.
"Keep your head up."
General Liangzhou reached out and picked at the burn scar on Yin Hu's cheek a few times. When the blood came out, he waved his hand with confidence.
Yin Hu suppressed the joy on his face, led the two of them, and followed the little cloth merchant calmly. He saw that he was less than ten steps away from the gate of Liangzhou City——
"The king has ordered that from now on, all merchants who enter the city are not allowed to leave the city!" At this time, several coated horses rushed over and shouted angrily.
"Retreat, all retreat!" Upon hearing the sound, the three or four teams of soldiers guarding the city immediately raised their swords and kept driving away several wealthy businessmen who were about to leave.
The two huge iron doors seemed to be closed tightly again.
"Brother Six, the door is closing!"
Yin Hu's eyes were heavy. He knew that if he continued to be trapped in Liangzhou City, he would be discovered sooner or later and killed. The only reason he could hide for so long this time was because he ruined his face. The simple art of disguise could not be concealed at all.
But these cool people.
"Kill it!"
The three chivalrous men stood up with their swords in hand, heading towards the city gate in front of them, leaping with light skills, and kept feeding the swords in their hands into the chests of the defenders.
After only being stunned for a while, several teams of Liang soldiers surrounded them with roars. The sound of gongs began to ring near the city gate. The faint sound of horse hooves could also be heard from all directions.
"Close the city gate, close the city gate quickly!"
Yin Hu's burnt face showed a stern look. He was slashed with a knife on his back. He stood up and jumped towards the city gate. Before the two city gates were closed, the long sword cut three or four defenders.
Back up.
Yin Hu stood on the wooden stack under the city gate with his sword horizontally, and breathed out with difficulty.
"Brother Six, let's go quickly!"
Hearing the sound, Yin Hu turned around.
"Eight Heroes of Lizhou——"
One of the knights was stabbed with several iron spears, leaving bloody holes all over his body. He was lifted up high by two or three people, coughing blood and bulging his eyes, and no longer had the strength to speak.
"Brother Six, let's go, let's go!" Another hero jumped up covered in blood and stood in front of him.
Yin Hu cried and shouted, returned his sword and went to save people.
"If Sixth Brother doesn't leave and doesn't bring back any news, he will be insulting the name of the Eight Heroes of Lizhou."
"Eldest Brother once said that Sixth Brother is a great talent in this world. If he lives, he should be famous in the world. Come, in the next life, Sixth Brother and I will go to the theater to have tea and listen to music."
The tall and powerful knight suddenly roared loudly, abandoned his sword, opened his arms, and rushed towards the incoming soldiers.
Yin Hu cried bitterly and stretched out his hands, but in the end he couldn't grab anything.
He gritted his teeth and turned around.
Several arrows with ringing feathers were shot, and one of them penetrated his waist and ribs. The flat, prismatic arrow penetrated his front abdomen and brought out a bloody spray.
Regardless of being injured, Yin Hu roared and raised his sword, stabbing a defender in front of him in the head.
The leather helmet worn by the defender was suddenly pierced, blood burst out from his head, and his body fell softly.
"Close the city gate! Don't let this thief escape -"
In front of the city gate, a Liangzhou general was shouting, and his head was chopped off.
While Yin Hu sheathed his sword, the two defenders raised their iron spears and plunged them into Yin Hu's back insidiously, just as they were about to pick him up.
When Yin Hu let go, several flying knives came out, shooting the two defenders until they screamed in pain and retreated.
"I, Yin Liu, if I don't die, I will definitely fight back to Liangzhou one day!"
The magpie stepped on the branches several times, causing the soldiers below to scream angrily. Before the city gate was completely raised, Yin Hu jumped out of Liangzhou City with blood all over his body.
…
In front of the Liangzhou Palace, Dong Wen looked at the people begging for mercy in front of him with a cold face, and waved his hands expressionlessly. The executioner slashed with his broadsword, and several heads fell to the ground.
"Commander, if that traitor doesn't die and escapes back to Shuzhou, it will definitely be a catastrophe for us. Damn it, these trash, several battalions of people can't even catch a traitor."
"But don't worry, military advisor. The traitor was seriously injured and couldn't escape far. I have sent three battalions of cavalry to pursue him along the way."
Simujia frowned.
"Not only the small Dodge Army, but also the ambushes in Shuzhou will have problems."
"The civilian thief doesn't know who he is."
"But he finally knew that there was an internal agent from Liangzhou in Shuzhou."
Sima Xiu hesitated on his face, "If you guessed correctly, there will definitely be support from Shuzhou outside Liangzhou. Don't forget that I used tricks to force away the Shuzhou spies before. But there is a high possibility that...
They will still stay near Liangzhou City."
"Military advisor, I have sent three battalions of cavalry."
"There are also many thornwood forests outside Liangzhou City. If the cavalry camp encounters the forest, there will be no advantage. Furthermore, the Shuzhou spies should have been well prepared before. If the lord really wants to pursue him, he can only continue
Mobilize the infantry of Shen Gong Camp."
"Military advisor, it's already too late."
Sima Xiu's face did not lose any color, he was still terrifyingly calm. Even Dong Wen, who was sitting next to him, felt a little chilly.
"If it is really exposed, we can only increase the count."
"Military advisor, what is an additional plan?"
"For example, the clues about my disciple can give Xu Buyi a candidate."
Dong Wen was silent for a while, "Military advisor, civilian thieves are not stupid."
"Of course he is not stupid, but some things will be more convincing if we try to hide them. In any case, my disciples, as the ambush army, cannot be exposed."
"The ambush army has finally responded...but the military advisor and the Shuzhou Qidao side are still there."
"Over there, I just had an idea." Sima Xiu said in a calm tone, "Since the clear path has been exposed, it can be treated as a false path."
"What does the military advisor mean? Is there another way?"
Sima Xiu pondered for a while, "This is only a temporary measure. Don't be anxious, my lord. This time I conquer Shu, I will definitely use my whole life's skills to take over the western hegemony for my lord."
"Lord, do you remember my previous strategy?"
"Of course I remember. To secure peace and occupy Shuzhou, the northerners of Liangzhou are not good at fighting on the Yangtze River, so they will not take the land south of the Yangtze River first. And Shuzhou, as the world's granary, must also become a barrier to the south, so that we can let Liangzhou
Attack the three prefectures, attack the inner city, attack Hebei, and take advantage of the trend to sweep the world. Once the north and the hinterland of the Central Plains are completely pacified, we will use the navy to seize several states south of the Yangtze River!"
Sima Xiu looked pleased, "That's it. One day, my lord will have a great cause."
