At the end of the Sui Dynasty

Chapter 193
As the saying goes, there are flowers in spring, moon in autumn, cool wind in summer and snow in winter.If you have nothing to worry about, it is a good time in the world.

In the poet's romantic eyes, it seems that all seasons are so beautiful, but in Pei Xingyan's view, these poets just stay at home all day, offering good wine and meat every day, waiting for them with beautiful wives and concubines, and then It’s just moaning in front of your own courtyard, and you have never been beaten all year round. You try to let these poets taste the scorching sun, feeding mosquitoes in the woods at night, the cold wind of cutting flesh in the winter, and bone erosion. Snow and rain, let's see if they can still have spring flowers and autumn moons, can they still wave?
Pei Xingyan hates mosquitoes in summer nights the most. He would rather face an army of [-] than be surrounded and bombarded by a group of hungry mosquitoes, especially when he was going to the toilet. It can make people crazy, the itching is unbearable and they can't use heavy hands to pick and scratch.

Just as General Pei was tossing and turning, lamenting how to relieve his worries, there was a sudden rush of horseshoes in the distance, which was particularly clear in this sleepless night.

"Could it be the messenger of Goguryeo again? Come to live!" Pei Xingyan's heart moved, and he couldn't fall asleep anyway, so he got up suddenly, picked up the horse, got on the horse, and rushed out of the woods, savagely blocking the middle of the road.

This official road is the only way from the south to Liaodong City. Gradually, the sound of hooves is getting closer and closer. The knight on the horse did not hold up the torch, but just drove by the moonlight in the sky, and it was 20 meters away in a blink of an eye.

At this time, the knight obviously found Pei Xingyan who was blocking the road, and hastily reined in his horse. The horse neighed and the man stood up tall, and the knight on the horse sat firmly. The riding skills were obviously very superb, not only that , When the front foot of the mount landed on the ground, the knight had already taken the bow in his hand, and what collapsed was an arrow towards Pei Xingyan.

Pei Xingyan was taken aback, and hurriedly turned over and rolled off his horse, only to dodge an arrow in embarrassment. At this time, the visitor had seized the opportunity to ride his horse and rushed over quickly. Under the moonlight in the darkness, his hands gleamed coldly, holding a Handle horizontal knife.

Pei Xingyan's heart was terrified, and he knew that he had encountered a difficult situation. At this time, it was too late to get on the horse, so he had to bite the bullet and raised his spear to meet the enemy on foot. Seeing that the knight was about to hit him, he suddenly reined in and the horse was once again tall. stand.

When Pei Xingyan was surprised, the knight immediately shouted: "General Pei."

Pei Xingyan took a look, and with the help of the faint moonlight, he recognized that the person who came was Han Mancang Han Laoshi, and he couldn't help being a little dumbfounded.At this time, Su Dingyue and others also rushed out of the woods, Pei Xingyan hurriedly shouted: "It's my own."

Su Dingyue breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the words, he quickly reined in his horse and slowed down, and put away his weapons.Pei Xingyan was a little embarrassed. He never dreamed that the person who made him so embarrassed was Han Laoshi. Although there were reasons for his own carelessness, he had to admit that Han Laoshi was really good. He is proficient in bowing horses, from reining in horses and opening bows, to drawing swords and charging, a set of movements is as fast as flowing water, it is really strange that a mud-legged man has such a tyrannical skill.

At this time, Han Laoshi had already rolled off the saddle and said apologetically, "I didn't see clearly just now, but it turned out to be General Pei. That's great."

"What a fart, I almost capsized in the gutter and was slaughtered by you old boy." Pei Xingyan thought to himself, coughed lightly to cover up his embarrassment, and asked, "Han honestly, but Changqing sent you here?"

Han Laoshi nodded and said, "It was Mr. Gao who sent me to contact General Pei."

Pei Xingyan was overjoyed, knowing that this kid would not be able to fall, he quickly asked, "Where is Changqing?"

Han Laoshi replied: "Young Master Gao will lead most of the troops to arrive at dawn tomorrow. He ordered me to contact General Pei first, and said that as soon as he arrives, he will seize the bridge and cross the river immediately."

Everyone at the scene couldn't help cheering up, Pei Xingyan waved his hands excitedly and said: "Okay, no problem, I have figured out the situation of the pontoon bridge, as soon as Changqing arrives, I can start to seize the bridge immediately, by the way, Changqing is left now." How many people?"

Han honestly replied: "About two thousand 100 people."

Pei Xingyan nodded and said: "Fortunately, only more than 300 people were lost. Changqing is really amazing."

When the army was divided into two groups, there were about 500 people under Gao Bufan's command. Now there are about 300 people left. That is to say, after the separation, Gao Bufan lost more than [-] people. He was chased by a thousand cavalry and only lost Three hundred people, in the eyes of Pei Xingyan and others, are naturally very remarkable.

However, at this time, Han Laoshi said very honestly: "Now Mr. Gao has more than 500 cavalry and [-] infantry under his command."

"What, how many cavalry?" Pei Xingyan was stunned for a moment, thinking that he had heard it wrong.

"More than 500." Han Laoshi replied.

Pei Xingyan suddenly shook his body, his chrysanthemum tightened (it was still a little itchy), and he said incredulously, "Five hundred cavalrymen? Han Laoshi, you are known as an honest man. When will you learn to be like Zhou Anna?" Kid so pompous?"

Zhou An touched his nose depressedly, but he also felt that Han Laoshi was exaggerating, five hundred cavalry?is it possible?

Han Laoshi smiled and said: "It's true that it's not five hundred cavalry, but there are more than 500 horses. It's just [-] cavalry."

Pei Xingyan hurriedly asked: "Han honestly, what happened after we parted, where did Changqing get more than 500 horses?"

Han Laoshi described the oil war in the deserted village and the subsequent "diametrically opposite" in detail.Pei Xingyan and the others couldn't help being dumbstruck when they heard this, and couldn't speak for a long time, Zhou An smashed his tongue and said: "My dear boy, Mr. Gao actually killed a thousand cavalrymen and snatched more than 500 war horses. Is his mother still a human?"

The other brothers also had fanaticism and admiration in their eyes, and they dared to worship Gao Bufan as a god of war in their hearts.

Pei Xingyan was stunned for nearly a minute before he came to his senses. Although he was confident that Gao Bufan would be able to get rid of the pursuers, Gao Bufan's performance surprised him. The cavalry, who had snatched more than 500 horses, were so sturdy that it was jaw-dropping, and this kid also played Gao Jianwu and Jin Gongcheng around, and killed them back to Liaodong City with a feint shot.

A flash of inspiration flashed in Pei Xingyan's mind, and he blurted out: "We captured five Goguryeo messengers from the south today, and they are probably related to Changqing. It's a pity that everyone doesn't understand Goguryeo's writing and language, otherwise we can figure it out." the movement of the enemy."

Han Laoshi hurriedly said: "By the way, Mr. Gao also told me to inform General Pei to intercept and kill the Goguryeo messengers from the south as much as possible, because Mr. Gao estimates that the enemy has already woken up. If they guess our intentions, they may send fast horses." Inform the defenders in Liaodong City."

Pei Xingyan slapped his thigh and said: "Changqing is so predictable, these messengers must have been sent by Gao Jianwu, this guy may be chasing after Changqing's ass, haha, wonderful, I didn't expect us to catch those messengers , but unintentionally did an extremely correct thing, and now the defenders in Liaodong City must still be kept in the dark, and when Changqing leads most of them to arrive, they will be caught off guard."

Everyone was overjoyed when they heard the words, and they were all gearing up, wishing that Mr. Gao would lead people to rush there immediately, and then seize the pontoon bridge and cross the Liao River, so that the shitty general Gao Jianwu would eat his ass, wow haha!

Han Laoshi hurriedly said: "Since I have contacted General Pei, my subordinates will go back and report to Mr. Gao."

"Go, Lao Han has worked hard!" Pei Xingyan patted Han Laoshi on the shoulder. This old boy is capable and deserves my respect and admiration.

So Han Laoshi remounted, and Pei Xingyan handed all the letters found on the five messengers to the former, asking him to take them back to Gao Bufan, so as to gain insight into the enemy's movements.

drive……

Han Laoshi clamped his horse's belly, and hurried back on the way back and forth.Pei Xingyan looked at the back of Han Laoshi going away, and said to himself: "Sure enough, people can't be judged by their appearance, and the sea water can't be measured."

Su Ding nodded and said: "This Han Laoshi is indeed very skilled. It can be seen that the world is big and there are really many capable people."

Pei Xingyan took it seriously, looked up at the bright moon in the west, and said in a deep voice: "It will be dawn in less than three hours, brothers, hurry up and rest, tomorrow may be a hard battle."

So the brothers returned to the woods excitedly and continued to sleep, resting their heads and waiting for death.
