Datang New Order

ps: Thank you Eagle Zhou and zps364 for your rewards.

An Zhongxuan looked at the sky, the sun had already sunk beyond the mountain wall, the valley road had gradually turned dark, and in half an hour, it would be completely dark.

There are still three miles away from Huangya Cave, which is not far, but it takes at least two hours to walk in the valley. By then, if you move forward in the dark, there may be many people who will stumble and fall to their deaths.But this section of the road is really not a place to camp, and it is also very dangerous for the soldiers to rest on the narrow valley road.Turning over suddenly in the cold at night, maybe directly into the Zhuozhang River, the loss is not necessarily less than going in the dark.Not to mention that if God changed his face and the Zhuozhang River surged again, it would be too late to cry!

After weighing the matter for a while, An Zhonghui immediately ordered to light up the lamp ball torches, speed up the pace, and make sure to rush to the Huangyadong camp!The sergeants also knew the danger of staying overnight on the valley road, so they only complained a few words before obeying the military order.Immediately, the brigade speeded up again, rushing towards Huangya Cave like a fire dragon in the night.

The [-] Korean troops were dragged out for several miles, and An Zhonghui didn't care about being out of touch. He just left officers at several key locations to urge the follow-up sergeants to hurry.

When the moon was in the middle of the month, the whole detachment was finished. An Zhongxuan was too tired to eat hot food. He simply took a few bites of jerky and fell into the small military tent that his personal guards helped to set up. He fell asleep in the middle of the night.

In his sleep, for some reason, An Zhonghui suddenly felt the ground tremble, and he was awakened immediately.Getting up and leaving the military tent, An Zhonghui saw many soldiers were awakened by the sound, and they all looked around in all directions in a daze under the moonlight.Several nearby officers shouted loudly, severely suppressing the uneasiness of the sergeants, not allowing them to walk around and discuss at will, and let them lie down and continue to rest.

An Zhongxuan beckoned, and asked several dental soldiers who were also alarmed to go to ask Sentinel.After a while, the dental soldier came back in a hurry.They brought back two sentry sergeants who had been placed at the front. They reported that another landslide had occurred under the gap in Huangya Cave, and the way forward was blocked.

An Zhongjiao couldn't catch his breath, he was so angry that he kicked the stones away, secretly thinking that everything was not harmonious along the way, wouldn't God let him sneak attack Licheng?I wondered if this was a warning from the heavens, foreshadowing that the sneak attack would fail?If so, should we give up?

While thinking about it, I heard another sound coming from behind.I felt a slight shaking under my feet again.This time, it was closer, and I heard it more clearly. It really was the sound of huge rocks and mud collapsing.

An Chonghui felt fortunate that the valley road landslides were so frequent tonight, and fortunately the whole army rested in this flat campsite, otherwise it would be hard to say how much loss would have occurred.After thinking about it, I don't feel depressed. I have to organize people to clear the road tomorrow, and I don't know how much time will be delayed.

Bring in some officers.After arranging the order of the ministries to clear the passage tomorrow morning, An Zhonghui lay down again, weighing repeatedly between withdrawing troops and moving forward, and gradually became confused.

An Chonghui was awakened by a loud noise.When I opened my eyes, there was light in the valley, the sky was pale, and the morning mist from the Zhuozhang River was wandering between the valley road and the cliffs.The sergeants scurry around like headless chickens.Many people panicked and screamed "Yan Jun! Yan Jun!" Many people just hugged their heads and cried loudly under the bushes.

The confidant officers under his command rushed to An Zhonghui's side one after another, and An Zhonghui asked angrily, "What's going on? What's 'Yan Jun'?"

Several military officers also looked flustered, and they rushed to report to An Chonghui: "I'm in ambush. General An Ya!"

An Zhong felt a chill in his heart: "Didn't the soil collapse last night?"

"No, it's Yan Jun's fault! The front and back roads are blocked!"

An Zhonghui's footsteps were like the wind, and while ordering the army to be gathered, he rushed to the front of Huangya Cave, but saw that on the narrowest valley road, the valley road was tightly blocked by hill-like earth and rocks, and dozens of swallows stood on the top of the earth and rocks. The sergeants of the army, with their shields in front covering most of their bodies, all with strong bows and crossbows, pointed downwards obliquely.

Unable to help trembling, An Zhonghui asked: "How could the enemy get so close? How come the night sentry is not alert at all? Didn't they put a group of soldiers here? Where did they go?"

No one answered An Chonghui, and everyone felt confused in the face of this sudden situation.

An Chonghui is not a god in using soldiers, but when he is marching and camping, he arranges night guards on duty and sergeants to block the main roads. It is impossible to make such a huge mistake.

Ignoring the cause, An Zhong hastily arranged the defense here, and immediately went to the back road, which was also blocked by a hill-like mound of earth and rocks, and dozens of soldiers guarded the top of the mound of earth and rocks. .

How did the enemy bypass him and stop him from the rear?This question made An Zhonghui puzzled.When he got close, An Zhonghui finally figured out what was going on.

The soldiers on the pile of dirt and rocks are all in the uniform of the old Hedong Army, with black armor on the outside, round leather felt hats on their heads, and ocher red chest scarves around their necks. , Daibei Bing, Yanmen Bing, Datong Bing and other old Hedong Army's logos.Regardless of their stature and appearance, these sergeants are exactly the same as the original Han horse infantry under An Zhonghui's command and the current Han army. Archery tips introduced by the Hu people in the north of Yunzhou!

The person in the middle was very familiar, and An Zhonghui couldn't help but exclaimed directly when he saw it: "Li Laoqi!"

Dongyang Capital Li Dutou waved at An Chonghui: "So it's General An Ya. I haven't seen you for a long time. How have you been?"

An Chonghui turned his head and glared at his younger brother An Chongmeng beside him, and said bitterly, "You've done a good job!"

An Zhongmeng's face turned red, and he distinguished: "Originally, they are our own people, and for some reason, Li Laoqi and the others came from the entrance of Huangya Cave... a brother under a certain command came forward and asked, and they said they came from the entrance of the cave. Withdrew to change defense... Who can see clearly in the dark? The whistle and accent are flawless... I must investigate and deal with those slack guys with military law! Come here, in the middle of the night, who would have thought? Who can tell the difference?"

An Zhongmeng was on duty last night, and he was actually the one who questioned him, but he dared not take the responsibility at this moment, so he had to say that his brothers couldn't tell the difference.An Chonghui listened to his explanation.He also sighed helplessly, and he also understood that, let alone An Chongmeng, even if he personally brought someone on duty at night, in such a situation, as long as he didn't see Li Laoqi himself, he might be negligent, but he also You can't just blame yourself on your younger brother.

As for how Li Laoqi swaggered through the outpost at the entrance of Huangya Cave, it is estimated that it is roughly the same, in the chaotic situation caused by the rapid march last night.This is not surprising.

"General An Ya, the situation is already like this, so don't resist any more? For the sake of your own brothers in the past, let's be kind and don't fight back and forth by ourselves, okay? Let the brothers put down their weapons, In case blood is stained on the knife edge, it will be difficult to get along with each other in the future." Li Laoqi persuaded on the pile of earth and rocks.

An Zhonghui stared and said: "Lao Qi Li, His Royal Highness King Han treats you well. Why do you betray the Lord and seek glory? We are all from Hedong, why do you help Hebei people? Feel your conscience, when did His Highness treat you badly? you?"

Li Dutou sighed: "His Royal Highness King Han? Are you talking about Director Li? When did Director Li become His Royal Highness King Han? I don't know, but I only know that His Royal Highness King Jin is the leader of our old Hedong Army. If you want to say back The one who seeks glory should probably be General Manager Li? When the old King of Jin was alive, did he ever treat you poorly? General Manager Li, Commander Li, and Commander Zhou have repeatedly moved over to take charge of the elite soldiers in Hedong. What a lot of trust and reliance that is, But what about them, they did the trick of attaching themselves to the King of Liang and splitting Hedong up. They pissed the old King Jin to death! General An Ya, tell us in good conscience, how many years have we had a blood feud with King Liang? Are you willing to become King Liang's running dog?"

These words not only made An Zhonghui speechless, but also made many officers and soldiers of the old Hedong Army nod secretly.

I just heard Li Dutou continue: "General An Ya, all the old brothers of the Fan Han army, now that the three kings are divided into Jin, and Hedong has already died, it is meaningless to say that you betray the Lord and ask for glory, but everyone should keep their eyes open." Polish it up! Our Hedong Army no longer exists, but the blood of the Hedong Army is still there! How many of us did King Liang kill? How many fathers and sons and brothers died at the hands of Xuanwu thieves? Could it be that everyone is not going to take revenge? Are you going to lick your enemy's ass instead? How much favor have you received from the King of Yan these years? Our family eats the food and wears the clothes that the King of Yan sent, and then we take the gifts from the King of Yan Our swords and guns are going to attack the King of Yan, you all ask yourself, is this something that people do?"

There were more and more Han troops standing under the pile of soil and rocks. Countless people lowered their heads deeply when they heard Li Dutou's aggressive questioning.

A young general climbed up the pile of earth and rocks from behind Li Dutou. As soon as he appeared, he immediately caused an uproar among the soldiers of the Han army.

"King Jin!"

"Your Highness!"

"Sir!"

"General Yazi!"

Li Cunxu stretched out his hands to appease the soldiers of the Han army, and said in his mouth: "Thank you, brothers, for still being willing to recognize XX as the king of Jin, but XX has already joined the Yan army and served under the command of the king of Yan. If the brothers trust XX, they will withdraw their weapons." , Join the Yan Army with me! Li Laoqi is right, although we in Hedong are dead, but the blood of the Hedong Army will not die! In any case, we can’t do things to avenge the enmity, not only do not help the Yan army, but go to the enemy’s family What kind of reason is it to live on the soles of your feet?"

Li Cunxu turned to An Chongjiao again and said, "Lao An, bring your brothers over here and stop fighting. To be honest, there are only 300 people here, but think about it yourself, can you get through this back road?"

An Zhong felt that heaven and man were at war, and after a long time, Fang muttered: "...King Han treats you well, and you have no face to face King Han..."

Li Cunxu sighed, and asked: "Lao An, my lord, did the old king of Jin treat you poorly? Alas...forget it, I pleaded with King Yan for you, so you go to Hebei to study at Fanyang Military Academy. How do you think? When we reach the other end, we can still be with 'Ah San'."

An Chonghui raised his head suddenly, and asked in confusion, "Ah San? Cong Ke?"

Li Cunxu nodded: "A few days ago, Ah San was defeated in Shideng Shanxi, and he himself was captured alive. His Royal Highness Yan Wang is generous and did not kill him. He is going to send him to Fan Yang to study." (To be continued...)
