God's eyes on the plate

Chapter 907 The Divine Eye Zhang Stepping on the Plate (Thanks to the Silver League of 'Smoke Falling Sadly')

After leaving Tao County, Yang Xuan took two thousand riders, one with two horses, and went straight to Chenzhou.

Frost and leaves are like fire all the way, and the autumn wind blows slightly cold.

Camping at night, Yang Xuan stood on the edge of the camp, looking towards the east.

Han Ji followed as a counselor, analyzing the situation softly.

"The six thousand riders are divided into two groups. This is a surprise attack. The old man thinks that if the enemy wants to raid our northern border, the first must be those farms."

Helian Yan's white jade-like face looked very seductive in the setting sun, "As Lang Jun said, the foundation of our northern border lies not in the officials and the army, but in the people. The people depend on food. If we can destroy the land reclamation in northern Xinjiang, That’s the bottom line.”

Yang Xuan looked at the sunset with his hands behind his back, and squinted his eyes slightly, "There is Nan He leading the patrol over the farm, even if it is raided, the loss will not be too great. I am just a little curious, why the other party doesn't join forces...

What is the purpose of spreading out?Is it a small group of people that Ma Li hides?
But three thousand and six thousand are the same to our soldiers and civilians in northern Xinjiang.

Could it be that you want to achieve greater results?
If so, 3000 people can be subdivided.

If I were to command, I would raid the farm with a team of [-] cavalry, wipe out the farmers quickly, and flee away..."

He suddenly sneered, "When I received the news, my first thought was impossible!"

"Your lord is wise!" Han Ji thought to himself, "If it's to harass our northern border land reclamation... there is no need to send troops from Ningxing, just give Neizhou and Tanzhou the order to defend the generals..."

"Yes!" He Lianyan glanced at the boss with her bright eyes, thinking that the boss was really sharp, so she decided to go to Chenzhou.

Yang Xuan said: "Since it's not for the purpose of harassing the land reclamation, then it must be a surprise attack somewhere. Tao County is heavily guarded, even if a thousand horses come, they can't avoid our army's scouts. Then, only Chenzhou!"

The messenger has already set off, rushing to the front line of Chenzhou.

Han Ji said: "There are two places in Chenzhou, Taiping and Lin'an."

This is the essence of Chenzhou.

"If they raid Taiping and Chenzhou, the only way the enemy can go is the mountain range between Fengzhou and Chenzhou." The terrain appeared in Yang Xuan's mind.

"The mountain road is rugged, but it can pass through people and horses. After coming out of the mountains, it immediately rushed to Chenzhou with a thunderous force. If caught off guard, it is very likely that all parts of Chenzhou will be destroyed."

Yang Xuan clenched his fist with his right hand behind his back, "After the burning, killing and looting, Taiping and Lin'an were burned down. It goes without saying that we in Chenzhou suffered heavy casualties, and our business also suffered heavy losses. I don't know when we will be able to recover..."

"There is also prestige." Han Ji felt that the person who planned this matter was a great one. "If it succeeds, the military and civilians in the Northern Liao Dynasty will be greatly boosted. If one goes up and down, our northern border will fall into a trough."

He Lianyan said suddenly: "Mr. Lang, I have a doubt."

"What?" Yang Xuan asked.

He Lianyan said: "Why didn't Ning Xing dispatch troops from Neizhou and Tanzhou to make a surprise attack? Instead, he looked far away."

"That's my doubt too."

Could it be that Uncle Huang has entered menopause?Or is it because Uncle Huang feels that the people in Neizhou and Tanzhou are unreliable and weak... Yang Xuan thought about it.

"My lord." Han Ji said, "Could it be that... since the lord took charge of the northern border, he changed his strategy of not being able to stick to it, attacked frequently, and even captured Yanbei City and Nangui City.

For a while, my morale in northern Xinjiang was greatly boosted, and I thought He Lianchun would be furious.

In order to retaliate, they mobilized the best of the best from Ningxing to raid our northern border, with the goal of hitting them with a single hit. "

This is the most likely judgment!
Yang Xuan was thinking.

The political situation in Beiliao is actually similar to that of Datang, and the contradictions are more intense.

"Beiliao was transformed from a tribe, and there are many hills inside. The biggest one is Linya.

Lin Ya is eyeing the throne covetously, and the power behind her is huge.He Lianchun was suppressed by him as soon as he took the throne.

He Lianchun recruited Chang Ling as his arm, and then he gained a firm foothold.

Desires are endless.After gaining a firm foothold, He Lianchun turned his suspicious eyes on Changling.

There is no doubt that this is an act of self-destruction.Thinking about it, Lin Ya could burst out laughing.

Under such a background, Ning Xing suddenly sent two groups of troops to raid my northern border, which made me smell the atmosphere of internal struggle. "

Han Ji opened the door to conspiracy theories, "My lord's words are really..."

Can't you change your name?
Yang Xuan had a headache.

Han Ji's eyes were filled with surprise, "If this is the case, the two groups of people probably came from two places. If not, this will be a rivalry between the monarch and his ministers."

Does Han Rebellion remind you of something... Yang Xuan coughed dryly, "Tell me."

Han Ji said: "When Liao Jin was the Jiedu envoy, with the lord..."

Yang Xuan looked at him, and Han Ji changed his title, "I have some estrangement and suspicion with Mr. Lang, and we had a dispute at the beginning. We disagree on something... But this is just an ordinary fight. But Beiliao is a life-and-death battle." political struggle."

"There's no need to guess."

Calculating to this point, Yang Xuan felt that the importance of this matter was no less than that of a major war, "Order the soldiers to eat quickly, rest for two hours, and then set off."

……

Taiping County.

After Zhen Siwen left, Shen Qi, the county magistrate of Lin'an County, was in charge, and the county magistrate was Qian Neng.

Lin'an County is the seat of the Chenzhou government, and has the highest status among the counties.However, with the vigorous development of Taiping business, the status of the two has changed significantly.

Today, Taiping is not only the commercial revival of Chenzhou, but also the commercial center of northern Xinjiang.

Being able to come to Taiping to serve as the county magistrate, Shen Qi knew that this was how much the boss valued him.

In the early morning, he came to the top of the city as usual.

The autumn sun hangs in the east, and the sky is like a woman who is desperate for life, sparse and deserted.

Outside the city, several caravans that stayed outside the city last night had arrived. The guys rubbed their hands, stomped their feet, yawned, and talked lazily.

"chilly!"

Qian Neng, who is not in good health, rubbed his face, "Half of the caravan was lost today."

In autumn, the grasslands are taller, the horses are fatter, and it is also the harvest season. It stands to reason that there should be more caravans.

Shen Qi said: "Perhaps it was delayed on the way."

Qian Neng smiled and said, "Yes."

The long-term peace has made everyone in Taiping County lose their vigilance.

"By the way, I don't know if the Duke and Chang'an have reconciled this time."

This issue is not only concerned about Qian Neng, but also the whole northern Xinjiang.

But after Yang Xuan returned, he never summoned officials from all over the country to Tao County to discuss matters.

"Perhaps, the Duke of the Kingdom is in Zhizhu's hands!" Qian Neng asked and answered by himself.

"It's not Xingxu!" Shen Qi said indifferently: "Guogong must be holding the wisdom pearl."

The two were silent for a moment.

"That is to say, Mingfu feels that the relationship between Duke Guo and Chang'an has not improved during this trip?" Qian Neng asked.

Shen Qi nodded, "Chang'an is eyeing my northern border. The Duke said at the beginning that the purpose of Chang'an is not for the overall situation, but to fight for power and profit.

His Majesty wants to control northern Xinjiang, and Yang Songcheng and others also want to control northern Xinjiang.It's fine if they act out of public interest.But these years we have seen clearly that these people have nothing to gain, and they only have interests in their eyes!

The Duke is the lord of the northern border, so naturally they cannot be allowed to succeed.Therefore, the old man asserted that this trip of the Duke of Guo will inevitably break up with Chang'an. "

"What should we do if we can?" Qian Neng was a little worried, "We can't be separated from Chang'an for a long time, right?"

"Why not?" Shen Qi looked at him sideways with piercing eyes, "Northern Border is the Northern Border of Tang Dynasty, this is what the Duke said back then.

In one day, Northern Xinjiang cannot be separated from Datang!

For this reason, the Duke of the state swore a poisonous oath.

That being the case, why worry?
With the Duke here, I will definitely be able to suppress Beiliao in northern Xinjiang. This is also defending the border for the Great Tang! "

Qian Neng nodded, "I'm just uneasy!"

Shen Qi said: "It is Chang'an who should be worried, not me in Beijiang!"

"If Chang'an decrees that the Duke is rebellious..." Qian Neng smiled wryly, "Everyone in the world shouts for beating."

"Being rebellious is not about what you say, but about what you do. Look at what Chang'an did, and then look at what Duke Guo did. But anyone who is sober knows who is betraying Datang!"

Shen Qi looked resolute, "Whoever strikes at Duke Guo, even though the old man is old, he can still fight him with his old fists!"

The topic was too serious, and Qian Neng saw an old soldier dozing off, so he sighed: "How can such an old soldier serve? The army is getting more and more chaotic."

Shen Qi also saw it, "I'm afraid this old soldier has reached the age to go home, call him and ask."

He has a serious temperament, and he wants to use this to straighten out the army.

Qian Neng pointed at the old soldier, and a small official went over to wake him up, "The famous mansion calls you!"

The old pawn raised his head and smiled obsequiously, showing half of his yellow teeth.

"I've seen Mingfu."

The old soldier came to salute.

Shen Qi asked, "How old is it?"

"The villain is just 47."

47 is already considered a long life for people at this moment.

But he's not old enough to retire.

Looking at the wrinkles on the old pawn's face, Shen Qi felt that he had underreported his age by at least ten years.

"Why do you take a nap?" Shen Qi looked calm, but those who knew him well knew that this famous mansion was about to make a move.

The three major ministries were destroyed, and the only remaining town in the south turned out to be under the command of the boss, which made everyone in Chenzhou feel that the world was peaceful.

As a result, the army's sentries were lazy, and the drills were inevitably slack.

Before Yang Xuan went to Chang'an, he explained that he must be careful everywhere and not slack off.

The old man is sorry for the Duke... Shen Qi felt ruthless in his heart, and planned to use this to clean up the generals and officials in the army.

The old pawn apologized and said with a smile: "The villain can't sleep well at night."

That is, insomnia.

Shen Qi sneered, just as he was about to scold, the old soldier's eyes flickered and he looked outside the city.

Damn!

How dare you lose your mind in front of this old man?

Shen Qi was furious.

The old pawn said, "There is something wrong with that caravan!"

Shen Qi looked along.

A caravan of more than a hundred people came slowly dozens of steps away from the county seat.

"What's wrong?" Shen Qi asked coldly.

The old pawn said: "It stands to reason that at this time, the buddy should be lazy. After looking at the city gate, he should look at the top of the city... His eyes won't focus on one place...

Please look at the famous mansion, some of them looked at the top of the city, and some of them looked at the gate of the city, their eyes didn't move at all.It's not dude! "

In the distance, Chen Shui and Kong Jia were waiting to attack with more than two thousand cavalry.

Dozens of corpses were scattered around... This was an unlucky caravan that bumped into Chen Shui and the others and was immediately strangled.

Kong Jia looked in the direction of the county seat, "Our people should be approaching the city gate."

"Yes." Chen Shui held the handle of the knife, "Caught off guard, who can stop those hundreds of fierce soldiers? Get on the horse!"

Everyone on horseback!

Chen Shui drew his saber, and said vigorously: "Breaking Taiping, don't seal the saber! Kill all the people you wait to see, and finally set fire to burn this city to ashes, making Yang Gou feel heartbroken! Attack!"

……

City head.

Shen Qi took a look, and the hundred or so people were exactly as the old pawn said.

"so what?"

Qian Neng said with a smile: "You can look wherever you want, can you still control people's eyes?"

The old pawn said: "This kind of view is wrong, they... are stepping on the plate!"

"What stepping on the plate?" Shen Qi asked.

The old pawn said: "It's just to check the situation of the idea."

"idea?"

"It's the fat sheep!" The old pawn saw sweat on his forehead, "It's just...the place where the thieves want to rob."

Shen Qi understood, but felt a little ridiculous, "How do you understand this?"

The old pawn said: "The little man used to step on the plate, he is called God Eye Zhang!"

Shen Qi's heart moved slightly.

The old pawn suddenly trembled, "They are approaching the cart, they must be preparing to take weapons, Mingfu, it's too late!"

Shen Qi was still hesitating, but the old soldier shouted, "Be alert!"

In an instant, all the soldiers on the top of the city looked at the old pawn.

The old pawn pointed at the caravan, "They are thieves!"

This is ultra vires!

Shen Qi's anger just rose, and then dissipated.

There is no need for the old pawn to take risks... If his judgment is proved to be wrong afterwards, punishment will be indispensable.

Shen Qi followed and shouted: "Be alert!"

The soldiers at the top of the city began to assemble, and the archers took out their longbows and arrows, and set their bows and arrows.

And the sergeants in the city gate shouted according to the procedure: "Stand away from the outside, and avoid the inside! Otherwise, shoot and kill!"

Dangdang Dangdang!
Before the words fell, a warning bell sounded from the top of the city.

Hearing the bell, the soldiers in the barracks must arrive as quickly as possible.

As the bell rang, the caravan was visibly stunned.

Then they all rushed to the side of the cart and drew their weapons one after another.

More than a hundred people came running with long knives.

"Enemy attack!"

There were screams from the top of the city.

Shen Qi shouted: "Close the city gate!"

But it's too late!
Just as the old pawn was talking to Shen Qi, the caravan was already approaching the city gate.

At this moment, the distance is only more than twenty steps.

"Going down the city!" A team was shouting.

"Fire arrows!"

There were not many archers at the top of the city, and more than a dozen arrows sparsely shot and killed five people.

Under the city gate, before dozens of soldiers had time to pull up their horses, the enemy army came up.

"kill!"

The fighting in the city gate was brutal.

A wave of more than a hundred fierce soldiers beheaded half of the defenders who were caught off guard, and the rest of the defenders fought to the death.

There was the sound of horseshoes in the city, this is reinforcements.

Da da da!
A black line appeared in the distance, and it was constantly approaching.

"The enemy brigade is attacking!" the old soldier shouted.

"quick!"

Those soldiers rushed down from the top of the city and poured into the city gate.

The old soldier at the top of the city screamed: "Keep ringing the bell!"

"Woooooo!"

An enemy army has blown its horn.

Dangdang Dangdang!
The bell keeps ringing, which is a signal of encountering a strong enemy.

Those hoofbeats are accelerating.

In the city gate, the defenders couldn't stop the hundreds of fierce soldiers.

A fierce soldier rushed into the city, looked at the prosperity on both sides, and said with a grinning smile: "Destroy this city!"

Da da da!
Dozens of cavalry rushed out from the corner of the street and appeared in front.

The war horse opened its mouth to pant, spewing out white water vapor.The cavalry on horseback stretched their bows and set their arrows, leaned slightly, and let go.

The fierce soldier swung his knife and blocked the arrow.

But the cavalry arrived immediately.

A knife!

clang!
The fierce soldier blocked the knife.

The next knife was not blocked.

Heads fly up.

On the top of the city, Shen Qi looked solemn when he saw the enemy army approaching rapidly.

The situation is urgent, but he is sure to keep peace.

If there hadn't been an early warning, those thugs would have controlled the gates of the city, and even attacked the top of the city.With their bravery, Shen Qi and the others could not escape.

all of these……

He looked at the pawn.

The old soldier was a little apprehensive, and smiled flatteringly, "Famous Mansion."

Shen Qi patted him on the shoulder.

"What else do you want?"

The old soldier subconsciously said: "The villain can also be deceived, put on a sack, make a trip, steal things..."
