Ji Tang

Chapter 848 The Opportunity Comes
Crowds of people surged on the muddy road. The big banner with the word "Liu" in front looked a little listless in the drizzle, but the leader was wearing bright armor, with a horse under his crotch and strong limbs.Slender and slender, he looks like the best among horses at first glance.

Liu Rengui looked up at the rain that was not about to stop yet, and a trace of sadness suddenly flashed across his face.But it quickly disappeared.

Now he is no longer the commander of the navy under the Marquis who only follows orders, but the commander of the coalition forces. It is not an exaggeration to say that he is the chief general of one party.

What's more, there are [-] troops under his command. No matter how frustrated he is, he can't show it in front of the soldiers.

The courage of the general's soldiers, once he, as the general, shows any worries, it will cast a shadow on the hearts of his soldiers, which he will never allow.

The rain has not stopped since the day before yesterday, and the already difficult dirt road has become even more difficult to walk.

Even the morale of the army was hit. If he hadn't carried ten days' worth of dry food with him and was less than a day away from his destination, he wouldn't have dared to imagine what would have happened.

He had already received a letter from Xue Li. At this time, they were sweeping everywhere within a hundred miles of Pingxiang to eliminate all unstable factors.

But according to what he said, the royal city of Goguryeo was heavily guarded and guarded by tens of thousands of troops. If you wanted to break through the city, you might not be able to do it with just these people!

Thinking of all these things, his heart was filled with a haze. If
Shaking his head, he really didn't dare to think about it anymore.

"Appreciate~"

While he was deep in thought, a man on horseback quickly appeared in front of him. Regardless of the mud on the ground, he knelt on one knee and said, "Commander, Commander Xue's cavalry has been spotted ahead!"

Liu Rengui was shocked when he heard this and said quickly: "Bring someone here immediately. I, the commander, have something to ask!"

"promise!"

He immediately ordered the army to suspend their march and wait where they were!
After a while, a group of cavalry appeared in front of them.

"I'll wait to see the commander!"

"Get up!"

He waved his hand nonchalantly and said, "Where is Xue Li now? How are you doing at this time?"

The leader of the team stepped forward and said: "Commander of the cavalry, Commander Xue is stationed not far outside Pingxiang City at this time. In the past few days, we have swept most places within a hundred miles, and the armed forces have received our key blows." "

"All messengers leaving the city are also under our control, and the news of our arrival has not been spread!"

Liu Rengui breathed a sigh of relief. It was good that the news had not been spread. This meant that they still had time.

"You will lead the way from the front!"

After finishing speaking, he said to the deputy general beside him: "Order the army to advance at full speed, and wait until we get to the place to have a good rest!"

As a result, the soldiers who heard that they were about to arrive were overjoyed, causing the march to speed up a lot.

The endless rain in the past few days has made them tired. They are all wet, and some of them have caught wind and cold.If there weren't enough doctors and medicinal materials, many people would probably die.

The march speed suddenly accelerated. The journey that originally took three days was now completed in two days.

When he saw the camp that had been repaired not far ahead, even Liu Rengui himself almost fell off his horse.

They were really tired. Due to the trip down, they ended up walking for six days, which was twice as long as originally planned.

Fortunately, Xue Li did not disappoint and did not let the news of their arrival spread. Otherwise, when they arrived, they might be waiting for tens of thousands of Goguryeo reinforcements.

"You are here!"

Xue Li was happier than anyone else when he received the news of the arrival of the army. If something unexpected happened along the way, who knows what would happen.

Now that the army has arrived, I don't have to worry about Pingxiang suddenly attacking them.Although this possibility is unlikely, it is possible after all, right?

Now that [-] troops have gathered together, they are not afraid at all even if they fight hard!
Seeing Xue Li, Liu Rengui waved his hand and said, "Stop chatting and quickly arrange for the soldiers to rest. His grandma has been exhausted these past few days."

"Who the hell knew that it would rain endlessly? Fortunately, it's not far away. We still have dry food to support us, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous!"

Several people came to the camp. At this time, Wang Xuance, Ji Qing and others had already arrived and were waiting in the camp.After all, they set off one step ahead of Liu Rengui and arrived the day before the latter, but they were also very tired. They rested for a whole day before they recovered.

Liu Rengui sat in the first place without hesitation, and the others sat on both sides.

Liu Rengui looked around and found that besides himself, he was not very energetic.

"Tell me, what is the situation at this time? Do we still have a chance in Pingxiang City?"

Liu Rengui got straight to the point.

He was exhausted now, and his voice was full of exhaustion when he spoke.

But it's not the time to sleep yet. How can he sleep peacefully if he doesn't understand the situation at this time?
Ji Qing and others looked at each other, and finally Xue Li stepped forward and said: "The situation is not optimistic now. There are many sergeants in the city, and they are all elites. There are at least [-] young men in the city. If they do not hesitate to pay, we want to attack The city is as difficult as climbing to the sky!"

"In addition, we have received news that Mo Zhili of Goguryeo is distributing weapons to the young men in the city. It seems that they are ready to hold on."

"Mo Zhili is a direct descendant of Yuan Gaisuwen. He is mature and prudent, but at the same time cunning and cunning. He is a smart man and will not easily leave the city and give up his own advantages to fight with us."

Hearing this, everyone couldn't help but frown.

It's hard to deal with people like this. In siege battles, you have to worry about this kind of turtle-shell defense, because they won't give you any chance.

Liu Rengui was silent for a moment and said, "Have Shen Zhen and Liu Xiancheng arrived at this time?"

"They arrived yesterday and are now stationed in the sea outside Pingxiang, ready to meet us at any time."

Ji Qing spoke up.

When Liu Xiancheng left, he took Liu Laoer with him. There was a training eagle here to deliver news at any time, so he was the first to know.

Hearing that the fleet had arrived nearby, Liu Rengui breathed a sigh of relief. As long as the fleet arrived, they would be invincible.

As long as things are not harmonious, they can go to sea and escape. With Goguryeo's naval ships already destroyed by the Tang navy, there is nothing they can do against them.

"Let's do this first!"

"It looks like this rain will not stop for a while. Let the soldiers recharge their batteries first. We will discuss what to do tomorrow."

Ji Qing and others didn't say anything when they saw the troubled Liu Rengui. Now that everyone is exhausted, even if there is any good solution, they can't implement it. It's better to let everyone have a good rest and wait until they are full of energy to discuss it later!

So, after everyone settled into the camp, deafening snoring sounds could be heard one after another over the entire camp.

Everyone was so sleepy that they didn't have a good rest for two days and two nights. The most they could do was take a nap, and now they fell asleep as soon as they touched the bed.
On the sea fifty miles outside Pingxiang City, hundreds of large ships of more than [-] stone were rising and falling on the sea. However, after walking in, they discovered that there were quarreling sounds from time to time on the largest ship among them.

"No, I don't agree!"

Liu Xiancheng looked at his second uncle angrily. He really didn't know what to say.Can't you just stay on the boat?If you have to sneak into Pingxiang City, where is that place?It is no exaggeration to say that it is a dragon's pond and a tiger's den.

Whenever something happened, how could he explain it to his second sister-in-law when he went back?
Liu Laoer didn't care about Liu Xiancheng's roar. He picked at his big feet and said nonchalantly: "You're just making a fuss about this little boy. What trouble has your second uncle never seen? How can Pingxiang City eat me?" "

"This is not a discussion with you, I'm just informing you!"

"I am the commander of the soldiers of the Hao Jiehou Mansion, not a soldier under your command. There is no reason for you to teach me how to do things."

Hearing this, Liu Xiancheng went crazy with anger.

Who are these people? Although he had known that his second uncle was a jerk, this was the first time he saw his second uncle like this.

"Second uncle, why don't I beg you? You can just send someone casually. You don't have to go. If something unexpected happens, how can you let my second sister-in-law survive?"

Liu Xiancheng saw that it was too hard, so he prepared for a soft one.

The second uncle loves the second sister-in-law the most and listens to the second sister-in-law the most.Every time he committed a crime, the husband would hand him over to his second sister-in-law, and he would obediently collect his punishment within a few days.

When Liu Laoer heard this, his heart suddenly trembled, but he still said: "Anyway, the matter is settled. I, Liu Laoer, have received great kindness from Lord Marquis. This life is not over, and this life is the only way to survive." It's somewhat useful. Your sister-in-law manages the house and the Marquis takes care of it. The children are also studying in the academy. My life has not been in vain. "

Then he looked at Liu Xiancheng and said: "You are different. You are the people carefully taught by the Marquis. You are the future of my Ji family. Even if I die ten or a hundred times, you will not lose a hair."

"No need to persuade me anymore, I'm ready. I'm just not letting you know because I'm afraid you'll be worried."

After that, he ignored Liu Xiancheng and said to Shen Zhen: "I'll leave this to you. If nothing happens, we will get the news in three days at the latest."

Finally, he took out a copper whistle and handed it to Liu Xiancheng.

"This is the bronze control whistle for the training falcon. We will use this contact when the time comes. Remember, you must stay here and don't run around. If the training falcon cannot find you, my efforts this time will be in vain."

He patted Liu Xiancheng on the shoulder and said with a smile: "You should be happy for my second uncle. Your second uncle and I finally have a chance to be a hero in this life."

"gone!"

After saying that, he took dozens of soldiers and got on a small boat. After landing, he quickly disappeared into the night.

Liu Xiancheng held the bronze whistle tightly and murmured: "Actually, you have always been our hero in our hearts."

After Liu Laoer left, not only did they appear on a high hill outside Pingxiang City for half a day, they took a path through the mountains and forests because they were worried about meeting Ji Qing and the others.

Liu Xiancheng was so difficult to deal with. If he was bothered by Ji Qing and the others again, he might not be able to go anywhere.

He blew the copper whistle. The sun had not risen in the early morning. At this time, people and horses were exhausted. The sound of the copper whistle was not loud. Even those who heard it thought it was the sound of insects.

The majestic training falcon appeared in the sky. After discovering the crowd below, it circled in the sky for a few times and landed in front of them.

This falcon is very big, with shiny feathers and sharp eyes. It looks like a raptor at first glance.

This one is one of the two that Ji Song met on the grassland. Judging from the color, it must be Ying Er!

"Second brother, I have to trouble you again this time."

He touched Ying Er's feathers and said with emotion: "After returning this time, the Marquis said that you can just stay at home and take care of your old age. From now on, let your descendants be busy, and you should enjoy peace and happiness."

Ying Er seemed to understand Liu Lao Er's words. He chirped a few times, but raised his head even higher, with a proud look on his face.

It seems to be saying: It’s okay, I can still do it!

Liu Laoer smiled and said: "Oh, you are quite proud?"

Seeing that Takashi was about to attack, he quickly said: "Okay, stop talking and send this letter there."

He pointed in the direction of Pingxiang City and said.

After saying that, he hung the bamboo tube around Takashi's neck and clapped his hands.

Ying Er stepped up his legs and spread his wings. A strong wind hit him. When he opened his eyes again, Ying Er had already appeared in the sky above their heads.

After circling for a few times, it flew towards Pingxiang City.

"Second brother, do you think we can come back this time?"

Ji Yong said.

Liu Laoer looked back at the brothers behind him and said solemnly: "I don't know either, but we must succeed."

"Be careful when you enter the city. You must not be caught by the Goguryeo barbarians."

"Second brother, don't worry, we know what to do and we will be careful."

Liu Laoer nodded and said nothing more, but waited patiently!
Inside Pingxiang City.

Lao Lin looked a little sleepy when he got up in the morning. It seemed that he had not slept well at night.

Just when he was about to wash up and eat something, suddenly, he seemed to hear something.

Ignoring the surprise of many servants, he threw away the things in his hands and ran towards the yard.

"Master, what's the matter with you?"

A middle-aged man who looked like a butler ran over in a hurry and asked quickly.

Lao Lin had calmed down at this time. When he saw the housekeeper, a trace of unbearability flashed in his heart, but he still said calmly: "It's okay, I just thought of something."

"It's okay here. Sir, I have to continue to think about it. You ask everyone to stay away from this courtyard and not to disturb me. Do you understand?"

When the housekeeper heard what his master said, although he was a little puzzled, he still said: "Don't worry, master, I won't let anyone disturb you."

"Well, let's go!"

After everyone left, Lao Lin carefully took out a copper whistle from his arms. When he saw the eagle circling in the sky, he decisively blew the whistle.
At three o'clock in the evening, Lao Lin came to the small wine shop for the first time.

When he emerged from the tunnel, someone had been waiting for him in the room where the oil lamp was lit.

"Old Lin, what are you worried about? We just had a gathering, why did you call us here again?"

"Yes, this is not the country. If we disappear frequently, we might be discovered at some point."

Everyone was talking to each other one by one. Old Lin took out his letter and said, "Our opportunity has come."
