Liu Xin knew that he would not be able to hide the fact that he left Xiangyang to personally conquer Dong Zhuo for a long time, but with the idea that it was just a temporary thing, he still changed into the attire of an ordinary lieutenant, and was not very conspicuous among the generals.
.
Everyone rode their horses out of Jianmen Pass, and were shocked to find that the thick snow yesterday had been swept to both sides of the road this morning. The dilapidated roads had been in disrepair for many years, and simple repairs had been carried out.
The consumption of war is huge. In the era of cold weapons, the main consumption of war is human life. Almost any victory is made with countless lives of both the enemy and ourselves. However, in Liu Xin's eyes, human life is the most precious
, especially these well-trained soldiers, are irreplaceable. He would rather consume a large amount of materials to reduce the casualties of the soldiers. This is the biggest difference between him and other princes in their combat concepts. Because of this, Liu Xin will
No expense was spared in developing trebuchets, strong bows and powerful crossbows, and powerful pewter spears. The stones and arrows consumed by the trebuchets and strong bows and powerful crossbows in combat were very huge, which also brought great challenges to logistics and transportation.
pressure.
Fortunately, Liu Xin already had a large engineering team. Over the past year, he had managed it according to the military model and trained them into a paramilitary force. In this campaign against Dong Zhuo, Liu Xin considered every detail.
Very thoughtful, in addition to the army, he also brought an engineering team of 30,000 people.
Yesterday evening, when the vanguard of the First Army set off quietly, the engineering team also began to clear the snow outside the customs and repair the roads. This work lasted all night and is still in progress. Yesterday, Shopkeeper Song’s convoy took almost a day
After walking more than 20 miles in a whole day, Liu Xin and the others arrived at Jiameng Pass in just half an hour.
Everyone looked up and saw that the city gate was wide open and the banner of the Han army was flying on top of the city. In fact, no matter Dong Zhuo or the princes in various towns, everyone regarded themselves as the Han army, and even the clothes and armor were not too big.
The difference. However, Liu Xin was determined to seize the world and had already made preparations. The generals changed their flags and armor, and everyone recognized at a glance that those standing on the top of the city were all his own troops.
The impregnable Jiameng Pass fell into Liu Xin's hands with almost no effort, and with careful planning in advance, not only Yang Huai, but also Gao Pei were captured without any help, and not one of their soldiers escaped, even Zhang Lu sent
The four beauties were also controlled, and Tian sadly became a prisoner again.
As soon as he entered the gate of Yang Mansion, Shi Huan came out and whispered a few words in Liu Xin's ear. He had been guarding Jianmen Pass for a long time, and he was also responsible for maintaining the security of more than a hundred special forces soldiers lurking in Jiameng Pass.
After this battle, Shi Huan became one of the few people in the army who knew about the existence of special forces and phantom agents.
, what he secretly reported to Liu Xin was that shopkeeper Song wanted to break into Yang's house at night, which almost ruined the original plan.
After listening to Shi Huan's secret report, Liu Xin couldn't help frowning. The two secret forces of Phantom Secret Agent and Special Forces have always been the most loyal and loyal, and they always carry out orders to the letter. It's really shocking that such a thing could happen.
He didn't expect it.
In the front hall, Yang Huai and Gao Pei have been tied up and detained in the middle. The two of them are still full of alcohol and hangover. This battle is really lost. Tian was also taken over and saw Song.
The shopkeeper was also kneeling aside, and couldn't help but be secretly frightened. He didn't expect that the incident would come to light so quickly, and he was the one who got him involved.
Last night, Shopkeeper Song sneaked outside the Yang Mansion and was spotted by special forces soldiers who were ambushing in the dark. Although Shopkeeper Song is a secret spy, there is also a very detailed division of labor among secret spies. He usually
He was just using his identity as a businessman as a cover to collect all kinds of intelligence, stay hidden, and jump high. These skills had also gone through a period of training, but close combat was not his specialty. When the soldier attacked him,
Only then did Shopkeeper Song realize that it was too late to react. Fortunately, the soldier recognized the phantom mark on Shopkeeper Song's night clothes in time and deflected the palm of his hand, thus saving his life.
Shopkeeper Song also secretly glanced at Tian who had just been escorted in, and sighed secretly, thinking that what was supposed to come had finally come, and there was still nothing he could do to change Tian's fate.
Although the two of them only communicated briefly with their eyes, Liu Xin had already seen it clearly, and he understood everything at once. These two people had been in love for a long time, and they had already made up their mind to make them happy.
Liu Xin ordered the soldiers to throw Yang Huai and Gao Pei awake, and said sternly: "You two are trying to block the way of our army with a mere Jiameng Pass. It is tantamount to throwing an egg against a stone. Today we are both captured, what can you say?
!”
Although Yang Huai and Gao Pei were awake, they seemed to be in a dream. They didn't know what happened and were speechless.
Liu Xin turned to Shopkeeper Song and said, "You are so brave to send the wife and children of Yang Huai, a traitor, to Jiameng Pass. Are you really not afraid of death?"
Shopkeeper Song felt aggrieved. Wasn't this all what you asked me to do? But he didn't dare to refute, so he could only bury his head and murmured: "Sir, Xiaomin is a businessman. As long as he does something profitable, Xiaomin
Of course I have to give it a try, and this Tian family and the two children have been bought by Xiaomin, and they are Xiaomin’s private property. What Xiaomin does with it is Xiaomin’s own business. Xiaomin is not guilty, so how could he do it?
I'm afraid of death. Please tell me something!"
Liu Xin nodded secretly. It seemed that shopkeeper Song had not forgotten his identity as a secret spy, so he could be saved. He deliberately snorted and said: "What a sharp mouth, and he is indeed a profiteer! Let me spare you this time."
However, this Tian family is no longer your property. Now he has become my prisoner again. He will have to go to the Jiaofang Department for a visit. Come here!"
Shopkeeper Song said hurriedly: "Sir, wait a minute! I am willing to die to atone for Tian's sin!"
Mrs. Tian looked at Shopkeeper Song with tears in her eyes and sighed, "I am the one who hurt you!"
Suddenly, she didn't know where the courage came from, and stood up and said: "Sir, this has nothing to do with Shopkeeper Song. It is all my idea. If you want to punish me, just punish me."
Liu Xin sneered: "Since you are so brave to take responsibility, then I will punish you both!"
Tian glanced at Shopkeeper Song, and suddenly felt a sense of relief. Shopkeeper Song actually had the same look in his eyes. Yang Huai, who gradually regained his consciousness, was shocked by the scene in front of him. Tian and Shopkeeper Song
It's definitely not as simple as what they said yesterday. The two of them are having an affair! If he doesn't understand it by now, then he is too stupid.
But Liu Xin changed the subject and said, "Then I will punish you two to stay together forever and never be separated. Shopkeeper Song, are you willing to marry Tian?"
Shopkeeper Song didn't expect Liu Xin's so-called punishment to be like this, but he already understood that Liu Xin was giving him a wide berth and would no longer pursue him for his unauthorized actions. He couldn't help but shed tears of gratitude, nodded repeatedly, but was speechless.
Liu Xin turned to Tian and asked, "Are you willing to marry Shopkeeper Song?"
Mrs. Tian stayed up all night tomorrow, with the battle between heaven and man in her mind. She kept thinking about shopkeeper Song and Yang Huai, which one was in her heart. At this time, she no longer hesitated at all, and almost blurted out: "I am willing."
!”
Yang Huai had just heard that Liu Xin was going to betroth Tian to someone else in front of him, and he was already filled with anger. Now when he heard Tian say the three words "I do", he was even more furious, and
Tian didn't even look at him, which was a huge insult to him. Yang Huai finally couldn't restrain himself and cursed: "You, you, what a pair of adulterers! You, pfft..."
A mouthful of blood spurted out.
As Yang Huai's mouthful of blood spurted out, Liu Xin breathed a heavy sigh of relief and couldn't help but feel great. Liu Xin hated these two people to the core. If they hadn't dedicated Jiameng Pass to Zhang Lu, Hanzhong would have been
It was in his own hands. At that time, Dong Zhuo had just arrived in Chang'an and had not yet established a firm foothold. He might have been defeated by himself. Why bother to expend so much effort now? Liu Xin finally spoke out after being able to make Yang Huai vomit blood.
Bad breath.
Unexpectedly, something that shocked Liu Xin was yet to come. When Tian saw that Yang Huai was so angry that he vomited blood, he was not sad at all. Instead, he said coldly: "Yang Huai, when my children and I were taken to Xiangyang, as long as you
Take the initiative to surrender to the adults, so that we can reunite as a family and be safe. But you are blinded by lard. You only think about your own glory and wealth, and ignore our mother and son. Shopkeeper Song, under my hard pleading,
Only then did you escort us over, but you repaid your kindness with a grudge and wanted to kill Shopkeeper Song. You have ended up in this situation entirely because of yourself, and no one will sympathize with you. To be honest with you, I am now pregnant with Shopkeeper Song’s flesh and blood, and from now on you and I
Endless love and righteousness!"
After hearing these words, Yang Huai was even more humiliated than before. He was so furious that he fainted.
Liu Xin ordered in a deep voice: "Come here, drag these two out and chop them down, and pass them on to the four gates!"
Shopkeeper Song felt grateful when he saw that Liu Xin not only let him go, but also gave him Tian as his wife. Originally, he had honorably retired after completing this mission, but now he said the word "retired" no matter what.
What he didn't say, he remained loyal to Liu Xin throughout his life.
After settling shopkeeper Song and Mr. Tian, Liu Xin smiled and said to everyone: "You are all like me. You got up early and you should be hungry. Come on, let's go to the gate and enjoy breakfast while enjoying it.
Beautiful scenery around Jiameng Pass!”
Everyone still remembered what Liu Xin said yesterday morning, but they didn't expect it to come true. They all laughed and followed him out of the Yang Mansion.
Not long after walking, he suddenly saw several white pigeons flying "la la la" from a courtyard on the street. When Liu Xin saw this, her heart moved and she shouted: "Quick! Shoot them down!"
Although Jiameng Pass was captured without a major battle, all the accompanying generals were armed with weapons. When they heard Liu Xin's shouts, they bent their bows and nocked arrows, and shot at the white doves in the sky.
past.
Cheng Yu saw the commotion around him and said with a smile: "My lord, you don't want to give us this pigeon for breakfast."
Liu Xin said solemnly: "I suspect someone is using flying pigeons to deliver messages!"
