First Minister of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 98
96. Halfway Robbery
Looking at the three people tightly bound in the hall, Zong Luohu was very curious, and leaned forward to stare at Liu Wenjing for a long time, "Why are you an ear?"

Chang Xianwei and others burst out laughing when they heard this.

Liu Wenjing's face was distorted, and she roared: "Scholars can be killed but not humiliated, the thief dares to humiliate me", spitting Xingzi sprayed all over General Zong's face.

Zong Luohu wiped his face, turned his head and ordered: "The other one was cut too."

Liu Wenjing was stunned, staring angrily, and hurriedly shouted: "The thief kills me quickly", as she said, she struggled to get up and slammed into the beam.

Changxian Wei stopped him and smiled bitterly, "It's not that easy to want to die."

After finishing speaking, he grabbed Liu Wenjing's other ear, pulled out the waist knife and cut it. Liu Wenjing fell to the ground and cried out in pain, tears streaming down his face. The heartache was greater than the earache.

Liu Shirang and others on the side were stunned and couldn't help but feel deeply sad.

"Now I'm honest", Zong Luohu got up and walked towards Liu Shirang, "Say, name, official position".

"Liu Shirang, a general counselor under the command of the king of Tang".

"Gongsun Wuda, the right leader of the government under the king of Tang".

Zong Luohu nodded and asked, "Would you like to surrender?"

Hearing this, Liu Shirang shook his head and sighed: "Xue Ju is cruel and inhumane, not a good master. The king of Tang treated me kindly, and there is absolutely no reason to betray Tang and surrender to Qin."

Zong Luohu frowned when he heard the words, and without hesitation, he looked at the haggard Liu Wenjing, "Who is he?"

However, Liu Shirang and the two remained silent. Even though Chang Xianwei was glaring at the side with a waist knife in his hand, he was still indifferent.

Zong Luohu's expression darkened, he waved his hands, turned around and was about to leave, Chang County Wei Huiyi was about to raise his saber to kill him.

"Stop", Liu Wenjing said, and then struggled to get up, despite the blood dripping from her ears, her face was expressionless, "I am Liu Wenjing, Sima of the Prime Minister's Mansion".

"Li Yuan's Sima?" Zong Luohu was a little surprised, "You're so hasty, it's actually a big fish", after saying that, he looked at Changxian Lieutenant, "Please ask the doctor to treat the injury."

Not long after, Liu Wenjing's ear was bandaged by a doctor to stop the bleeding. Zong Luohou directly regarded Liu Wenjing as the lord, "I, the Great Qin Emperor, has hundreds of thousands of troops and swept across Longxi. I wonder if Liu Sima is willing to surrender?"

Zong Luohu didn't have so many twists and turns, and he wasn't a very strategic person. To be a general of the Western Qin State, one was brave and the other was loyalty.He also knew that Liu Wenjing must be a talented person who became Li Yuan's Sima, so he should even persuade him to surrender.

Liu Wenjing seemed extraordinarily calm. Hearing Zong Luohu's persuasion to surrender, he was neither sarcastic nor angry, and said very calmly: "You should kill me quickly."

The deathly stillness made Liu Shirang and the two of them groan in their hearts.

Zong Luohu took a serious look at Liu Wenjing, quite a bit puzzled, why did Liu Wenjing look so unlovable in life, could it be that cutting off the remaining ear made his mind collapse.

But in the face of such a person, Zong Luohu must not be able to deal with it without authorization. Even if he ordered Chang Xianwei, "You immediately send someone to escort these three people to Shangyu, and let Chang Zhongxing hand over to His Majesty." He seemed worried and said: "If it goes wrong, you and your brother will lose their heads."

Changxian Wei hurriedly agreed, in his opinion, these three people have been tightly tied up, and the trip to Shangbi is only a hundred miles away, and the journey is safe, and it will be more than enough to put them in a prison car and send dozens of people to escort them. accident.

After giving orders, Zong Luohu walked away. He still needed to return to Jincheng to defeat Li Gui. Just as Zong Luohu was about to leave the gate, Liu Wenjing called him to stop, "Wait".

Zong Luohu paused and looked at Liu Wenjing with great interest.

"Live well, and I will kill you."Liu Wenjing looked at Zong Luohu very seriously, and said word by word.

To put it bluntly, Liu Shi let the two of them feel a sudden rush, if this angered Zong Luohu, the three of them would have to finish the calf on the spot.

Fortunately, Zong Luohu didn't seem to be as irritable as Xue Ju and his son. He grinned when he heard the words, "I've tried it twice, take care of your nose." , "Chang Zhongxing hates you to the bone."

Hearing these words, several people couldn't help trembling all over, Liu Wenjing also swayed, and collapsed on the ground, Zong Luohu was very happy to see this, he looked up to the sky and laughed.

The northern part of Jixian County is the remnants of Longshan Mountains, mostly loess Liangmao gully terrain. It may be difficult for the Tibetan army to be tens of thousands, but if there are dozens or hundreds of people drilling into the valleys, it is really difficult to find them.

But at this time, in a hidden gully, there is a small Tang army hidden, and the leader is Gao Chong's personal guard commander Kaohsiung.

Kaohsiung led these ten elite scouts all the way to the west, following Zong Luohu's trajectory, but they witnessed Liu Wenjing's defeat, and the mere ten men were useless in the battle of tens of thousands of people, so Kaohsiung had to Continuing to hide, seeing that Liu Wenjing was defeated and captured, Kaohsiung was shocked, and was about to report back to Dazhenguan.

However, at this moment, the scouts sent out to watch the movements of Ji County reported two pieces of news.

First, Zong Luohu had led his army westward out of Ji County and headed straight for Longxi.

Second, more than [-] people escorted Liu Wenjing and others out of the east gate of Jixian County and rushed up to Gu.

"It's true that there are only more than fifty people?" Kaohsiung was surprised and delighted when he heard the news.

"Never more than 60 people," the scout said with great certainty, "Liu Sima and others put on shackles and loaded them into three prison wagons, only four or five horses."

Kaohsiung was overjoyed, "So slack?".

Immediately spread out a simple map, and after reading it, Kaohsiung suddenly realized, "Ji County is only a hundred miles away from Shangyu, and the road during the period is mostly flat, with no steep places, and no traces of bandits. It is expected that the general of Ji County is also That's why I was careless just now, it's time for Liu Wenjing to get out of this calamity."

"Commander Gao intends to rob him halfway?" the scout asked.

Kaohsiung nodded, "There are only more than [-] people escorting, isn't it a godsend? Just be caught off guard, split the prison car in time, and Liu Shi asked the two generals Gongsun Wuda to help. Although it is difficult to wipe them out, if you escape It is easy. If it is done, it must be a great achievement."

These scouting tools were carefully selected by Kaohsiung, and all of them are strong men. Hearing this, he nodded in agreement.

"What Commander Gao said is true," the scout who had explored the way before said excitedly, "I think most of the escorts are government servants, like chickens. One of a certain family can beat three... no, beat them." All five are out of the question."

Hearing this, everyone laughed.

"Brothers, if you do this well, my husband will definitely reward you a lot when you turn back," Kaohsiung said loudly. Dang even led ten people to rush all the way, and found a high-rise on the only way from Ji County to Shangyu Po jungle.

Kaohsiung has followed Gao Junya for many years, and he has a little bit of military knowledge. He immediately ordered people to bend several trees in the forest, tie ropes to the tops, and tie them into bows, and buried a pile of dust on the tops of the trees.

Seeing that everyone was puzzled, Kaohsiung grinned, "Some government servants must have never fought. When we charged, we made a lot of noise, bluffed, and cut the ropes. The sky was full of dust. There must be an unknown number of those government officials Ambushing here, I'm afraid I think there are thousands of troops, and I'm sure I will cry my father and mother in fright."
