Da Xizhang stared at the approaching team, shook his head, and said, "No!"

All the generals looked at Da Xizhang immediately, and Da Xizhang raised his finger and pointed to the distance, west of Xigu Pass, he could overlook dozens of miles from a condescending height, and he could clearly see the distance of more than ten miles nearby.

In the northwest land, there is a flat river, and the mountains on both sides are unimpeded. Da Xizhang said slowly: "Look over there, at least within thirty miles, there are no other soldiers and horses except this team."

"General...!" Chang Qing couldn't help asking: "Within fifteen miles, we can see clearly, but after fifteen miles, there are hills blocking us, so we can't see clearly... ...!"

"Changqing, it's almost autumn now, the climate in the northwest is dry, and the ground is very dusty." Da Xizhang said: "As long as there are many people and they move around, dust will be raised. If there is really a large army coming from the northwest, it must be Dust is flying, and the sky must be gray, but if you look at it now, the sky over there is quite clean, and there is no large amount of dust floating around, so it can be concluded that there is no army behind this group of people."

Only then did everyone look over carefully, and sure enough, they saw that although the group of men and horses galloped forward, the dust was raised, but the area was extremely small, and it settled down quickly, and there was no floating dust in the sky behind.

"The general is wise." Chang Qing praised.

Da Xizhang said calmly: "And these are definitely not scouts. There are no less than two hundred or even more soldiers. No army will send such a large number of people as scouts. What's more, Xigu Pass lies between the mountains. Northwesterners Coming and going, they already know the situation here very well, there is no need to send people here."

"General, if this is the case, then what is the origin of this team?" Changqing frowned and said, "I heard that Chu Huan ordered the confiscation of horses in the northwest, and all the horses in the northwest will be used by the Northwest Army. His horses are strong and fast, they are first-class horses, and the hundreds of horses cannot be privately owned by the people, they can only be members of the Northwest Army...!"

While speaking, the team of troops was getting closer and closer to Xigu Pass, but the soldiers on the top of the wall were all on alert. Soon, the speed of the team of troops gradually slowed down. Looking down from a high height, the people below looked like ants, and it was hard to see clearly, but he could vaguely see that this group of men and horses were wearing armor, armed with sabers and sabers, and a small number of people were equipped with bows and arrows. Judging by the armor and attire, it was undoubtedly the Northwest Army.

"General, it's the Northwest Army!" Others could tell, "Do you want to order them to be shot?"

Da Xizhang's expression became serious, "Don't act rashly...what are there hundreds of northwest cavalry doing here?"

"General, is it possible that the people in the northwest couldn't make it through, so they sent people over to negotiate?" Changqing said softly, "There is a pass, the connection between the northwest and the pass is severed, and the goods are difficult to get out of the pass. I'm afraid they won't be able to survive. .”

The others nodded their heads slightly, thinking that what Chang Qing said made a lot of sense.

"General, they stopped!" a general said in a deep voice.

At this time, the group of soldiers and horses stopped not far from the pass, and Da Xizhang and the others faintly saw the group of soldiers and horses under the city looking up at the pass. Soon, they heard a voice shouting from below: "General Da Xi , open the city gate...!"

That person's voice was extremely loud, even if it was so, he couldn't fully hear it clearly at the critical moment, but he could understand the general meaning.

"General, they asked us to open the city gate." Chang Qing sneered, "It's really whimsical...!"

Da Xizhang, on the other hand, looked solemn and remained silent. He shouted for a while, but there was no movement. Suddenly, everyone saw a knight urging his horse forward. When he got to the front, he was alone, but he saw the man holding a longbow. Looking up, he suddenly bent his bow and set up an arrow, aiming at the critical moment. Everyone sneered at the critical moment, and a general said coldly: "General, he wants to shoot arrows at us, he is not small...!" Said in a deep voice: "Come here, bring a bow and arrow...!"

An archer at the side had already offered a bow and arrow, and the other general took it, bent his bow and set the arrow, aimed at the man, and said with a sneer, "I want to see if he shoots us or I shoot him. ...!"

"Guan Lei, don't act rashly." Da Xizhang said in a deep voice, "Have you seen that official in the team...!" He raised his finger, "Did you see that?"

At this moment, he saw that the person in front had already shot a sharp arrow, and the arrow flew into the sky, shooting straight towards the critical moment.

The generals wanted to laugh, but at this juncture, the arrow is towering and tall, even if it is shot with a strong bow, it is impossible to shoot it above the juncture, even if the arrow is shot from top to bottom at the juncture, the power will be greatly reduced.

But the sharp arrow shot straight up like a bird piercing the clouds, although at the end, the speed had gradually weakened and it was difficult to develop power, but it still shot to the top of the city.

The sharp arrow crossed the battlements, it was already weak, and finally fell down. At this moment, including Da Xizhang, the faces of the soldiers near the arrow all changed.

They are all soldiers, of course they know what this arrow means, at least looking at Xiguguan, including Da Xizhang, it is impossible to shoot such an arrow.

A name immediately popped into most people's minds.

Xuanyuan Shao!

Only Xuanyuan Shao, the god of arrows, could shoot such an unimaginable arrow, but everyone knew that the person under the pass could never be Xuanyuan Shao.

A general finally came to his senses, stepped forward, picked up the arrow, and turned around, "General, there is a letter on it!"

Da Xizhang was stunned, the general had already taken a note from the arrow and presented it to Da Xizhang, Da Xizhang spread it out, glanced at it, showing surprise, then returned to the edge of the battlement, looked down, it seemed He was talking to himself, and seemed to be talking to the generals, and said softly, "Yes...it's Xuanyuan Shengcai!"

"Xuanyuan Shengcai?" The generals were surprised again.

Changqing wondered: "General, isn't Xuanyuan Sheng in Jiazhou? Why did you come back to Xigu Pass?"

Da Xizhang pointed to a person in the team, and said, "No wonder you are so familiar, have you forgotten him?"

Everyone looked over carefully, Guan Lei suddenly said: "Then... that seems to be Master Huang who passed through the pass before!"

"That's right." Da Xizhang nodded and said, "That's Huang Tu, Minister of the Ministry of Officials...Xuanyuan Shengcai and Huang Tu came to Xiguguan together...!" He frowned, obviously a little surprised .

"General, Master Fanhuang passed by here and stayed for two days." Chang Qing said in a low voice, "I don't know what the last general is doing in the northwest. Why are you with Xuanyuan Sheng now?"

Da Xizhang said: "It's okay to tell you now. Mr. Huang went to the northwest to follow the order of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to meet Xuanyuan Shengcai in secret."

The generals suddenly realized, and Chang Qing understood: "General, Huang Tu went to see Xuanyuan Shengcai, of course he followed His Highness's order to persuade Xuanyuan Shengcai to raise troops in the northwest!"

Da Xizhang said: "It should be like this. Master Huang didn't elaborate on the specifics. Naturally, I don't want to ask more...!" Seeing Xuanyuan Sheng, he was alone, holding a longbow, still Looking up at the juncture, he shook the note brought by the sharp arrow, "Xuanyuan Sheng just let us open the pass, he said that Chu Huan's army is chasing after him...!"

"General, is he going to enter the pass?" Chang Qing frowned and said, "We are ordered to guard the pass. His Highness ordered that no one should enter the pass from the northwest...!"

Guan Lei also said from the side: "General, we don't know what happened to Xuanyuan Shengcai and the others. Now that he has brought hundreds of cavalry to the pass, he cannot easily enter the pass with a note. "

Da Xizhang was thoughtful, and finally said slowly: "Xuanyuan Shengcai and Huang Tu came here, something strange happened, could it be that something happened in the northwest?"

"The note says that Chu Huan's army is chasing after... The word chasing is very strange. Could it be that Xuanyuan Shengcai and the others are being chased by the Northwest Army?" Chang Qing said, "But we all know , Xuanyuan Sheng was only guarding Jiazhou, how could he escape here in such a haste? Chu Huan should have attached great importance to him, otherwise he wouldn’t have handed over the important land of Jiazhou to him, why is Chu Huan chasing and killing him now?”

At this moment, there was another shout from below, this time the voice was even louder, and everyone could hear it quite clearly, and they could tell from the other party's tone that the group of people under the pass seemed to be very angry.

"General, they want us to open the door." Guan Lei said, "What should we do?"

Da Xizhang was still hesitating, but Chang Qing reminded softly: "General, it's strange that they came here, you should think twice...!"

A general next to him suddenly said: "General, Xuanyuan Sheng is a member of the Xuanyuan family and the cousin of Commander Xuanyuan. Judging from their situation, they should have been hunted down to this point. If they are not allowed to come in, I am afraid that Xuanyuan will be killed in the future." The family will blame it!"

This general had not said a word before, and he looked mature and prudent, but his words now made all the generals fall silent.

"General Yimo guessed that, just as Changqing said, Huang Tu went to the northwest to let Xuanyuan Sheng take advantage of Chu Huan's absence in the northwest to cause trouble." The general said: "His Royal Highness asked us to guard the pass and beware of Chu Huan's coming. Exiting Xigu Pass means that Chu Huan is indeed not in the northwest now. However, Chu Huan has many capable ministers and generals, and it is very likely that Xuanyuan Shengcai's plan was exposed, so he escaped here... and not It is said that Xuanyuan Sheng is a member of the Xuanyuan family. This person followed Chu Huan to the northwest and knows the situation in the northwest very well. In the future, when the imperial court uses troops against the northwest, Xuanyuan Sheng will definitely take on the heavy responsibility...!"

Da Xizhang nodded slightly, and said: "I will understand what you mean...!" After hesitating for a while, the general came closer and said in a low voice: "Does the general think they can do it? According to General Yimo, There is no need to worry about this, Xuanyuan Sheng is a member of the Xuanyuan family, and it is absolutely impossible for him to disregard his status and collude with Chu Huan. And... the general was elected by Duke Yi back then, if Xuanyuan Sheng If something goes wrong, the general will not be able to explain it to the Xuanyuan family in the future!"
