Aspiring to the Ten Kingdoms

Chapter 235 The Wronged Zhao Kuangyin
Ten miles northeast of the Khitan Army Village.

Xiao Siwen was a little anxious, more regretful.

What are you running for?

The opponent is only 3000 people.

Xiao Siwen himself felt a little ashamed, and his face felt hot.

But at that time, he really didn't think about it that much. He watched the mighty momentum of thousands of horses charging into the formation in the distance, listened to the deafening sound of war drums on the opposite side of Waqiaoguan, and listened to the shouts of the rear camp.

At that moment, Xiao Siwen, who had not experienced the baptism of the battlefield, completely panicked, unable to calmly judge how many enemies there were.

Since the other party can touch the back, who dares to guarantee the quantity?
What if you run too late and can't run?

There is no such thing as a deadly battle in the grassland people's dictionary, if you can't beat it, run away, there is no shame in it.

It is shameful to leave your life on the battlefield.

Therefore, Xiao Siwen ran without any psychological burden.

But when the follow-up news came, there were only three thousand Central Plains soldiers who raided the camp, and Xiao Siwen blushed instantly.

Excluding the 2 cavalry that Yelu Xiezhen took away, he had more than [-] cavalry in his hands.

These 2 people scared 3000 people away?

Angrily, Xiao Siwen asked Mu Langxi, the commander of the guards and horse troops, to lead [-] cavalry to attack and kill the Central Plains soldier who appeared out of nowhere.

Even though he knew the number of enemies, Xiao Siwen didn't dare to ask him to save face himself.

He could only wait for Mu Langxi's news with mixed feelings.

"Report!"

A scout Qingqi galloped over and said: "Xiao stayed behind, and the command envoy led the troops back."

Xiao Siwen's heart sank, it was not good news for Mu Langxi to come back at this time.

really!

Mu Langxi led five thousand cavalry back the same way. With lingering fear, he dismounted from his horse, knelt down in front of Xiao Siwen, and said as soon as he opened his mouth: "Staying behind is a good fortune teller. I am a stupid fool who actually questioned staying behind wisdom. Please stay here and forgive me."

Xiao Siwen was puzzled, helped Mu Langxi up and said, "Quickly tell me, what happened?"

Mu Langxi said: "The last general was ordered to attack the buttocks of the people in the Central Plains. On the way, he encountered soldiers fleeing. He is a soldier of Prince Xiao Kuiyin. After passing Waqiao Pass, the soldiers from the Central Plains have already entered the military stronghold behind Waqiao Pass and occupied our military stronghold. The last general has few soldiers, so he dare not go any further.”

Clan soldiers means personal soldiers. The Khitan military system generally includes the palace tent army, the tribal army of the chieftain, the tribal army, the Wujing Township Ding and the subordinate national army.

The Xiao family has a noble status in Khitan and is also very powerful, holding tens of thousands of tribal soldiers.

The direct troops of Xiao Siwen and Xiao Kaiyin are all tribal troops.

Mu Langxi looked at Xiao Siwen admiringly.When Xiao Siwen ran away, he didn't think too much about it. The coach has already run away, so why is he keeping it?
Later, when he learned that the enemy was only three thousand, Mu Langxi laughed secretly in his heart, as expected, he didn't know anything about military affairs.

It turned out that if it wasn't for Xiao Siwen's fast running, he might have been bitten by the Central Plains now.

The heart of admiration came up all at once.

The blush on Xiao Siwen's face turned into embarrassment, and he cleared his throat and said, "I know how cunning and cunning the Central Plains people are, and I won't send 3000 people to die. There must be a second move, as I expected. It's just that I can't think of Yao It is hateful and hateful for the military envoy to surrender to the enemy."

After a pause, he finally thought of his poor son, and hurriedly asked, "Where is that clan soldier? Is Kaiyin dead or alive?"

Mu Langxi waved someone to bring the soldiers of the tribe, and said in his mouth: "I have asked on the way, the young master was knocked out, and he should not die. However, the battlefield is too turbulent, and they will join forces with the rebels and siege soldiers Chasing and killing, it is not clear whether it is dead or alive."

Xiao Siwen wanted to ask a few more questions, but suddenly he heard the ear-piercing sound of the bone flute.

This is the way their scouts gave an early warning. They must have encountered a large-scale pursuit, otherwise it would be impossible to blow so terribly.

But the sound of the bone flute stopped abruptly after a while.

"Run!"

Xiao Siwen yelled in shock, the sound of the bone flute stopped, nine out of ten the scouts were shot and killed.

Xiao Siwen hurriedly took over the mount, got on the horse and looked back, and sure enough, a dark figure appeared in the southwest of them.

Xiao Siwen didn't dare to fight, and said directly: "Mu Langxi, you and I run separately. Gather in the direction of Youzhou..."

The enemy pursued him so hard that he didn't even dare to go to Zhuozhou, he only wanted to go back to Youzhou.

**********
Waqiao Pass.

Luo Youdu took Yao Neibin to meet Guo Rong who came from the Chinese army.

The Emperor of the Great Zhou led Zhao Kuangyin and a group of guards in front of the palace in stride.

"I have seen Your Majesty!"

Luo Youdu's eyes swept over Zhao Kuangyin's body, and he bent down to bow, but he felt a little strange in his heart.

Zhao Kuangyin is the most trusted and powerful general under Guo Rong's command. In this battle with Khitan, Guo Rong was actually put on the bench as a bodyguard?
Is it possible that Zhao Pu's poisoned chicken incident, which was his "spot inspection day", had a huge impact on the other party?

Luo Youdu didn't know Zhao Pu was responsible for the poisoned chicken incident at first.

But he believed that with Zhao Kuangyin's intellect, it was impossible to do such a thing, and he just thought it was some stupid subordinate of his who came up with the idea privately for Wang Yansheng.

Until one time when chatting with Dou Yi, they talked about the famous Kou Xiang, and accidentally revealed that they were drinking at Kou Xiang's house that night.

Only then did Luo Youdu realize that others did not understand Zhao Pu's hatred for the Zhao family brothers.

As the instigator, how could Luo Youdu not know?
In an instant, he had the idea that it was Zhao Pu who did it. Recalling that time, the two of them were in a happy mood, and they probably guessed it.

However, Luo Youdu didn't ask for proof, nor did he ask any more questions, as if he didn't know anything.

What does Zhao Pu's murder of Zhao Kuangyin have to do with Luo Youdu?
Zhao Kuangyin looked at the high-spirited young man in front of him, with a bit of bitterness in his mouth, another big victory.

He originally wanted to use this opportunity to perform well and narrow the gap between the two.

result……

In any case, Zhao Kuangyin never thought that Guo Rong would not use him.

Fall out of favor?
Zhao Kuangyin felt a little wronged in his heart.

Yao Nebin was a little nervous, and said loudly: "I have met Guo Tianzi."

He didn't realize it himself, his voice trembled a little.

He had been a soldier in Khitan for ten years and fought ten years of war. Not to mention the emperor of Khitan, he had never even met the king of the North and South Courts.

As a result, just after returning to the Central Plains, he met the Emperor of the Central Plains. The treatment was very different.

Guo Rong smiled and said: "Don't be nervous, just call me Your Majesty. Emperor Guo is called by an outsider, not a general. You have contributed to the pass and helped Mr. Luo defeat the enemy. I will grant you the position of governor of Ruzhou, and I will return it temporarily. Mr. Luo listens..."

Those two simple sentences gave Yao Nebin the urge to cry, so he knelt down on the ground and said loudly, "The final general is willing to die for His Majesty."

Guo Rong stepped forward to help Yao Neibin up, and said: "I want you to kill the enemy for me, to protect the environment and the people, but I don't want your life."

As he spoke, he looked at Luo Youdu and said, "How is the plan going?"

Luo Youdu said: "Whether you can take Youzhou or not depends on Lin Renzhao."

　There was a small outbreak today, I forgot to mention it.Definitely not April Fools' Day!
