The person who came to deliver the message was an armored general.
The general drove his horse alone, reined up his horse in front of the urgent military formation in front of Shuofang's military camp, and asked loudly: "Which one is Xue Fu!"
After opening his mouth, Shuofang's army in front realized that this general was actually a woman.
There have never been female soldiers in Shuofang's army. They just saw the majestic general approaching the battle from a distance and assumed that he was a man.
Shepherd's Purse was born with thick bones, her cheeks were dark red from the wind and snow, she had some frostbites, and her eyes were evil.
Anyone who is also in the military can see that such a pair of eyes must have been soaked in bloody battles, and no one can take them lightly.
Some Shuofang troops looked at Shepherd's Purse warily, while others turned around to search for Xue Fu, whom she asked about.
During the confrontation between the two armies, before the war started, the other side sent out a messenger. It was not known what signal it was going to send... But why did Dudu ask about Xue Fu?
Xue Fu quickly stood up, stepped forward and hugged the female general on the horse: "I am Xue Fu!"
Shepherd's Purse's eyes fell on the young man, and he showed an object in his right hand: "Can General Xue recognize this object?"
Xue Fu looked up and his expression changed slightly: "This is the bronze talisman of the Yue Jie Envoy - what did you do to Yue Langjun?"
"General Xue, there is no need to panic. Yue Langjun is safe and sound. This thing was handed over to my envoy by Yue Lang himself!" Shepard's Purse said, looking back: "This captain can prove it."
Xue Fu looked at the man in front of him: "Ji Xiaowei!"
Although Ji Ren's position in the army was not high, he was Yue Guang's confidant. He followed Yue Guang all year round and was known to everyone in the army.
"General Xue." Ji Ren, who was wounded, walked up to the shepherd's purse horse and clasped his fists at Xue Fu. Then he looked at the soldiers in front of the military formation and said, "Today we will follow Mr. Lang out of the city to welcome the coffin of the festival envoy into the city.
On the way back to the city, we were assassinated by the men under the deputy envoy of the division! Dalang Jun and the imperial envoy almost died at the hands of the rebels. Fortunately, the envoy Changjie of Huainan Road came to quell the rebellion and saved us from being silenced!"
"I came here to explain this matter on the order of Lord Dalang! Master Daxiong originally wanted to blame the 'death' of Lord Dalang on the imperial envoy, in order to incite rebellion in the army, so that he could take advantage of the chaos to seize Shuofang Jiedu.
Make it happen!"
After hearing what happened, everyone in Shuofang's army changed their expressions.
Although some of them had heard about the matter just now, they were not sure whether it was true or not, and due to the chaotic situation, they could not think about it.
It was only then that Xue Fu truly determined the whereabouts of the four thousand soldiers... who had received secret orders from their master, Daxiong, to assassinate the imperial envoys, and even Lord Yue Dalang and his colleagues.
Seeing that the annihilation mission failed, Shi Daxiong hurriedly returned to the camp, hoping to lead his army to defect from Lingzhou in the name of quelling the rebellion!
Amid the excitement, more and more people turned their attention to Shepherd's Purse, including Xue Fu.
Facing the cautious questioning look in his eyes, shepherd's purse said: "Please rest assured, my envoy is here today with his troops, and there is no offense intended! The envoy has said that this trip will not take half an inch of Shuofang's land, and no harm will be done.
An innocent soldier from Shuofang!"
This promise surprised Shuofang's army, and they heard the female general on the horse say: "Today, my envoy has only one request."
Shepherd's Purse's eyes fell on Xue Fu again: "——General Xue Fu, please immediately clear up the civil strife in Shuofang's army!"
Xue Fu raised his eyes unexpectedly.
This "instruction" surprised him, and the phrase "please ask General Xue Fu" also puzzled him... Why did it have to be him?
He knew that his reputation was not great, at least his name could not spread outside the pass... How could the Changjie envoy know that he was just Xue Fu?
Knowing that tens of thousands of cavalry had indeed broken into Lingzhou, and that the leader was Chang Sui Ningshi of Huainan Road, Xue Fu was shocked, but also felt an unspeakable sense of luck in his heart.
He had naturally heard of Chang Sui Ning's reputation, but compared to the other party's numerous feats that were far beyond what anyone could accomplish, what impressed Xue Fu even more was the other party's investment in the northern border with seven million yuan.
Seven million strings, in this troubled world, can be used for too many things, such as recruiting troops, forging ordnance, enclosing land for self-reliance... But the Changjie envoy who lives far away in Huainan Road chose to use it on things that have nothing to do with her directly.
On top of the related northern border guarding affairs, it was transformed into a barrier to protect the interior of the pass.
At that time, the military pay in the northern border was tight. If there were not those seven million soldiers to meet the urgent need, it is not known how difficult it would be to resist the battle of Beidi at this time.
Based on this matter, Xue Fu found it hard to believe that such a person would choose to actively send troops to invade the pass inside the pass when the Beidi cavalry was pressing on the border.
The arrival of Ji Ren and shepherd's purse's words just confirmed his thoughts.
But Xue Fu, who had seen too many ambitions, found it difficult to completely abandon his doubts about human nature. He handed over to shepherd's purse and made the final confirmation: "May I ask if this is the full purpose of Chang Jianshi's visit?"
Shepherd's purse's voice was loud and straightforward: "Exactly, the envoy's trip is only to help General Xue Fu quell the civil strife in Shuofang and preside over the overall situation in the pass!"
Xue Fu's heart shivered, and he changed his hand to a solemn bow: "Xue Fu knows what to do!"
Shepherd's Purse nodded, drove his horse back a few steps, and was about to turn his horse's head to leave when he heard a voice from Shuofang's army: "In my opinion, it's clear that Xue Fu colluded with the outsiders! How could Chang Sui Ning be so quiet?"
When the sound broke into Lingzhou, it turned out that someone was cooperating with it inside and outside!"
"The thief shouts to catch the thief, it's just a show! I want to use this to provoke civil strife in Shuofang's army, it's a dream!"
"This bitch who relies on human power dares to provoke Shuofang's army. I will chop her up first..."
Before the general who stepped forward with his sword finished speaking, his voice suddenly became broken.
He dropped the long knife in his hand, raised his hands tremblingly, and lowered his eyes to look at his neck.
A sickle-shaped woodcutter, the blade was now embedded in the throat bone of his neck.
He fell down with a thud.
"General Peng Wu!"
"You woman... how dare you kill my general Shuofang in public!"
The woman pulled out the woodcutter from behind her waist, but she killed Peng Wu without saying a word!
Someone drew a knife and pointed it at shepherd's purse, and everyone started to get excited, but they were restrained by Xue Fu and others.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Shepard's Purse sat on the horse and remained motionless, saying: "I have to go back alive to answer my family's envoy, and I can't fall into the hands of such evil-intentioned bastards!"
Amidst the commotion, Xue Fu stepped forward and pulled out the woodcutter from Peng Wu's neck, and handed it back to the shepherd's purse horse with both hands: "Thank you, general, for helping us clean up the traitors."
Shepherd's Purse took the knife, looked at the young man with satisfaction, and said: "Although we don't want to interfere in the internal affairs of Shuofang Army, if General Xue Fu needs it, just let someone go to deliver the message. My envoy will lead his troops and wait outside the camp.
!”
When she said the last sentence, she put the bloody woodcutter back on her waist, glanced at the Shuofang soldiers, and raised her voice.
Xue Fu knew that this was trying to suppress people's hearts for him.
And if the other party dared to say this, he must have received instructions from Chang Jie Envoy, who he had never met before, and actually wanted to support him.
Xue Fu was still puzzled, and even felt flattered, but his back straightened unconsciously, and his heart felt hot. He clasped his fists again and watched shepherd's purse drive away.
Xue Fu turned around and faced Sergeant Shuofang, his eyes more compellingly firm and sharp than usual.
In the crowd, some secretly clenched their fists, and several generals exchanged glances and took the initiative to stand beside Xue Fu.
Shi Daxiong is busy trying to escape. He is too exhausted at the moment and will not appear in front of the military formation. Most of his confidants have been summoned by him to discuss matters. Therefore, there are not many personal soldiers here, but mostly positions.
The swinger.
Xue Fu knew that this was his chance to win people's hearts.
At this time, a group of more than ten soldiers from the city rushed over, bringing military orders from the two deputy envoys, Jin and Cheng.
Yue Chunyan has already entered the city, and the two deputy envoys have also learned about Shi Daxiong's actions. They ordered the army to arrest the criminal Shi Daxiong and not allow him to have the opportunity to defect from Lingzhou.
At this time, the two deputy envoys were already on their way back to the camp.
"Master Daxiong is good at mobilizing troops. He murders imperial envoys on his own initiative, offends and bumps into the coffins of envoys, kills his colleagues, and almost brings Mr. Yue Dalang to death! He is really an unkind, unjust and disloyal person, and everyone will punish him!"
Xue Fu said loudly: "I know that there are many of you who prefer Shi Daxiong, but you must understand that at this moment he is a traitor to Shuofang's army!"
"There are soldiers inside who want to kill him, and there are 50,000 cavalry outside. It is impossible for Shi Daxiong to leave here alive today! Even if you protect him and escape desperately, don't forget that your family is still there.
There is a road inside the pass, and you don’t have the ability to lead them or protect them!”
"When the time comes, you will become traitors to the Shuofang Army, and your family and future generations will also be branded with the same mark!"
"Following an unscrupulous person to the death, swinging the knife at the comrades fighting side by side, ruining the glory gained from fighting on the battlefield, you might as well ask yourselves, is this really worth it?"
"For envoys, foreign enemies must be avenged, and those who kill their comrades must also die. If you want to be exempted, you must first make peace with your family!" At this point, Xue Fu suddenly drew his knife: "Today, anyone who tries to follow the traitors or takes the opportunity to encourage civil strife will be punished.
Kill them all according to military regulations! No traitors will be left in Shuofang’s army today!"
After a moment of silence, shouts suddenly broke out: "... Clear out the traitors and comfort the spirits of the envoys and colleagues who died in vain!"
"Put out the traitors!"
"Put out the traitors!"
Everyone raised their swords and shouted loudly. For a moment, their morale surged, and the shouts shook the sky.
For most of Shuofang's army, they might not care if Shi Daxiong only assassinated the imperial envoy today. Many people would even think that Shi Daxiong was extraordinarily brave. However, Shi Daxiong touched Yue Chunyan and had the secrets of Shuofang's soldiers on his hands.
blood——
Yue Guang's reputation in Guannei Road cannot be disputed. His death is a pain in the hearts of all soldiers. His eldest son should never become a victim of the struggle for power.
What's more, regardless of these morals, there are 50,000 cavalry outside at the moment, and the commander of the army, Chang Suining, has made his position clear... They, the Shuofang Army, are not afraid of death, but they have no reason to commit suicide for an unkind and unjust person.
Seeking death.
Everyone has morality and justice, the difference is just more and less. If you can survive safely while following morality, then no one will refuse to be one of those who praise morality and justice.
The morale here was like fire, and it began to spread rapidly. Wherever it went, iron was melted into gold, and the military spirit was rebuilt in the Shuofang army that was once shaken and divided.
Outside the military camp, less than half a mile away, countless cavalrymen stood silently in the snow, with no end in sight, seemingly connected to the gray sky, like iron shields and sharp swords standing between the sky, monitoring and maintaining this world.
order between.
Chang Suining sat on his horse and stared in the direction of Shuofang's military camp.
The morale there was shaking at the moment, and the wind was blowing in our faces.
Naturally, the news in the army quickly reached the ears of Shi Daxiong. At this moment, he was getting on his horse, gnashing his teeth and cursing.
Although he has lost the hearts of the people, he still has a thousand close soldiers on his side. He has asked people to repeatedly check the position where Chang Sui Ning's cavalry is surrounding them——
Those cavalrymen have surrounded the general camp on three sides, and the only side that has not yet been encircled is because their Shuofang military camp is camped close to the mountain for concealment and defense, as well as to withstand the cold current.
Behind the military camp is a mountain range, where Chang Suining's cavalry is not available, and Shi Daxiong is familiar with the terrain in the mountains and knows that there is a hidden mountain road in the mountains that is feasible.
They had taken advantage of the chaos and prepared horses. Before Shi Daxiong set off, he even laid a trap to break out from the other side. However, when he escaped from the military camp and saw the snow-covered mountain road in front of him, there was still a whistling sound behind him.
The sound of arrows ringing.
His men and horses began to fall over and over, and their progress was disrupted. Xue Fu led his men to outflank him from both sides. When the arrows stopped, Xue Fu had already blocked the entrance to the narrow mountain road.
.
Xue Fu was not fooled by Shi Daxiong's deception. He was sure that Shi Daxiong would leave through the mountain road behind the military camp.
When he started practicing martial arts when he was young, Deputy Cheng once said that his martial arts talent was not outstanding, but he was still a talent that could be made, because once he decided to do something, he would never waver and would not be fooled.
Foreign objects divert attention.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! At that time, Deputy Ambassador Cheng told him that he must retain this advantage, and this advantage can make up for the shortcomings. This sentence, Xue Fu always
Keep it in mind.
The accumulation of concentration over time has given him a clearer mind and judgment than ordinary people. This is where his calm and restrained aura comes from.
Soon, more and more soldiers were coming here.
Shi Daxiong looked steadily at the young man blocking the road in front of him. This was the first time he looked squarely at this junior.
When their eyes met, Shi Daxiong narrowed his eyes: "Boy, I underestimated you before."
He said: "How about negotiating some terms?"
At the same time, the two deputy envoys, Jin and Cheng, arrived half a mile outside the military camp and were forced to stop their carriages.
Looking at the cavalry team surrounding the military camp like a shield wall, even Deputy Cheng, who had experienced hundreds of battles, felt horrified for a moment.
Fifty thousand cavalrymen appeared together, which was rare even in his many years of marching experience.
It had been about twenty years since he last witnessed such a scene.
After checking their identities, the cavalry team, which was as airtight as a shield wall, began to make way for them in an orderly manner.
Deputy Cheng was old and sick, and could no longer drive his horse. He sat in the carriage that was slowly moving forward, looking through the thick curtains at the cavalry on both sides of the road as they slowly gave way.
As the carriage passed by, the cavalry on both sides retreated in sight, as if they had become a dense forest of tall cedar trees.
After passing through this dense and long "forest" trail, there was no obstruction in front of me, and my vision was finally illuminated by the heavy snow ahead. What appeared in front of me along with the snow light was the person and the rider at the front.
Before he could see his face clearly, Deputy Cheng had already guessed who this figure was.
The figure on the horse also turned to look at him. The moment their eyes met, the eyes of the elderly Deputy Cheng almost trembled, with a look of extreme shock.
He raised his hand to hold the carriage door frame, leaned forward, and almost blurted out the words "Your Highness."
