The Jin envoy saw through the murderous intent that flashed in Shan Bin's eyes, and reminded him with a sneer: "What? Has General Shan forgotten those letters again? Of course, General Shan can argue, but he will never be able to obtain the Sacred Heart again. I I advise the general to judge the situation carefully."
Compared with the Jin envoy's confidence, Shan Bin was not confident enough, and he could not look like a commanding officer from Yanbei. After thinking again and again, he suppressed the murderous intent in his eyes, clasped his fists at the Jin envoy and said with a smile: "Sir, what are you talking about? Gao Deng is approaching Yanbei and the move to seal the city has no basis at all. If Gao Deng insists on entering the city..."
"I'm here to relieve General Shan's worries. General Shan, our cavalry from the Northern Jin Dynasty has moved. As long as you can hold on for ten days, when our cavalry from the Jin Dynasty arrives, your worries will naturally be solved." The Jin envoy Slowly tell the Jin army's movements.
"Really, that... that's great. From now on, not to mention Gao Deng, even the Yanbei army, I have nothing to fear. Sir, please wait a moment. I will send Gao Deng away now. Wait until we As soon as the cavalry arrives and defeats the Yanbei army, I will leave the city, capture Gao Deng alive, and offer him to your lord."
Shan Bin was convinced and overjoyed, and was about to go, but the Northern Jin envoy stopped him. Shan Bin didn't know what he meant, and looked around to hear the news, only to hear the Jin envoy speak again.
"The general shows up. If Gao Deng insists on entering the city, will the general agree or not? Otherwise, Gao Deng will be more suspicious. I heard that Gao Deng still has Yan Ruohai's only son in the army. If he opens his mouth then, Yan Will the northern generals obey his orders to attack the city?"
The envoy of Jin hit the point, and pointed directly at Shan Bin's most difficult point. Seeing the smile that had been hanging on the lips of the envoy of Jin, Shan Bin had to lower his head and seek advice: "Then according to your Majesty's wishes, Gao Deng, I see Still missing?"
"Why not? But this time, we have to meet in the city... Hasn't the general sent a military order to let the Yanbei generals enter the city to march? In my opinion, it would be better to start this military camp as early as possible, as time is delayed The longer it takes, the better. It will be better to drag our Jin cavalry to knock on the pass and kill all the Yanbei generals in the Yanbei city, so we can respond internally."
It was getting late at night, there were no pedestrians in front of the General's Mansion, and the streets were deserted. Only the Jin Envoy's soft words could be heard. Shan Bin knew that he had no way out, so he had to follow the Jin Envoy's plan, in order to prevent the servants in the mansion from seeing him with low eyebrows and submissive eyes. With such a look, Shan Bin loudly called the soldiers in the mansion and deliberately gave instructions.
"I have a distinguished guest visiting me again today. You go to the army and pass down my order. No matter how Gao Deng knocks on the gate, he will say that I am seriously ill and cannot see him. If he wants to enter the gate, he will follow the previous generals and bring escorts. Enter the city to participate in the military order."
The soldiers did not dare to say anything and only agreed. However, the Jin envoy next to Shan Bin moved his eyes slightly, but he took Shan Bin's words and asked the servant: "Is there a restaurant or inn in Yanbei City?"
This question made Shan Bin and the soldiers beside him startled when they heard the words. Shan Bin didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in the Jin envoy's gourd, while the soldiers were slightly angry because the guest didn't know the etiquette. Ke looked towards his home. The master had no intention of being angry, and the soldiers suppressed their anger and spoke respectfully.
"As a guest, although Yanbeicheng is a border city, there are many merchants traveling from north to south. Naturally, there are restaurants and inns in the city."
The Jin envoy asked again: "Which one is the biggest?"
"Dear guest, if you want to say it's big, there are several hotels in Yanbei City, but if you want to say the hotel and food are excellent, there is only one."
"Oh? Which one is it?" asked the Jin envoy.
"The Yunlai Inn in the city." Xu knew that the name "Yunlai" was too common and popular, and the soldiers were afraid that he would be punished by the general if he did not respond to the guest's wishes, so he immediately added.
"Guests, don't underestimate this inn just because of Yunlai's name. I heard that it has been run by the Mo family in Namo County for generations. Although this Yunlai Inn is not luxurious, as long as the guests ask for what they want to eat or drink, as long as they don't If you have violated Qiyun's laws and paid enough money, Yunlai Inn will definitely be able to do it, so this Yunlai Inn is really as popular as Yunlai, and it is the number one restaurant in Yanbei."
The private soldier finished speaking in one breath, worried that he would still not be favored by the guest. When he kept looking at his general from the corner of his eye, he heard that the distinguished guest had already opened his mouth and said with a smile: "It's so good. Let's choose Yunlai Inn... General Shan , don’t you want to implement military regulations in Yanbei City? It’s just the right time. I have a suggestion. Instead of being in the general’s mansion, wouldn’t it be better to choose this Yunlai Inn?”
The soldiers were frightened. Although the general said that this person was an honored guest, he turned out to be a guest.
Lord, even this servant can no longer bear such disrespectful behavior. My general is the commander of Yanbei Army. That Wanjun is not in Yanbei, and my general is the commander of Yanbei. Not to mention the affairs in the army. How could he be allowed to make the decision as an outsider? Just as he was about to open his mouth to refute, his own general spoke up. .
"What your guest said is true. Although my residence is large, the Yanbei generals guard me Qiyun. They work hard every day. Due to recent military regulations, it is more appropriate to place it here at Yunlai Inn... Let's wait until dawn. You go and book a stay at the Yunlai Inn to use as a military example."
Hearing his general's words, the soldiers could no longer suppress their surprise. Since the founding of Qi Yun, there had never been a military meeting in Yanbei City, let alone this time it was held at an inn. If this news spread to Jiang Lin, Aren't those court officials trying to swallow up their own lord? What would the Holy Emperor think...
The soldier wanted to speak, but Bei Danbin shouted back and had to take orders to go back to the house to prepare for dawn. When there was no one around, Shan Bin lowered his stance and invited the Jin envoy to enter the house.
The Jin envoy was not humble, and walked forward like his master, entering the mansion first. Only Shan Bin looked back to the south of Yanbei, and then sighed slightly, not knowing whether he was sighing that he was so humble as the commander of Yanbei. Still lamenting that after today, there will no longer be a commanding general like Qi Yun Shan Bin.
Upstairs in the south tower of Yanbei City, the crossbowman who had been chatting with Jiang Ningxue for a long time couldn't help but have his eyelids dropped. He had been guarding for almost the whole night and was extremely sleepy. If the school official hadn't been there, he might have already dozed off.
"It's not war time, and outside this city gate is our Qiyun territory. How can we defend it?" The crossbowman lowered his voice and complained to the halberd-wielding soldier beside him.
The soldiers holding the halberd were also puzzled: "Yes, if the Jin people come, it's no problem for us to guard the city all night, but...who is guarding the city? Although the guarding general Gao Deng is You idiot, but you can still be considered a comrade in the army, we..."
"You two, if you keep nagging, I will punish you to guard the granary."
On top of the city tower, the captain who kept patrolling may have heard the whispers of the two men and frowned. Although he shouted to stop, what his soldiers said was exactly what he was doubting, but everyone in the army obeyed the military orders. It is a bounden duty. Even if you have doubts in your heart, you still try to suppress it and remind the soldiers to guard the city carefully.
It's already dawn, and the crowing of cocks in Yanbei City has also driven away the wild beasts that lurk outside the city at night. The captain who patrols the city also feels sleepy and keeps sitting there, just waiting for the person who changes the guard to come, and then he can go back Get a good night's sleep.
The morning sun has not yet risen in Yanbei Mountain, but the sunlight has slowly torn apart the night, and the mountain scenery under the tower has gradually become clearer from darkness. The patrol captain's favorite thing is to see this sunrise scene. Temporarily cover up the fatigue of guarding the city this night.
Hearing the voice of the changing of the guard command coming from below the tower, the patrol officer wanted to take another look at the sunrise before giving the command for the changing of the guard. However, it was this quick glance that made the already sleepy patrol commander Wei woke up instantly.
Outside Yanbei City, flags were fluttering, and the garrison's banners were moving in the wind. Although there was still some distance, the fat body of the leading general was instantly recognizable.
"Gao... Gao Deng, how could the patrol come so fast? Everyone who comes, brace yourself and guard strictly! Quick, go report to the general, Gao Deng's patrol is coming again." The patrol general called out to the city. Drinking and waking up the soldiers who were almost asleep...
The soldiers braced themselves and looked under the city tower. Although the sky was not completely dark, the fierce aura coming from the soldiers patrolling under the city came across the city. This was not the same patrol led by the idiot general. Even compared to the aura of the murderous gods in the Yanbei camp, it was not far behind.
The captain who patrolled the city did not dare to be careless anymore. He was about to report the situation in the city, but he heard the sound of steady footsteps stepping onto the city tower. Looking back, he saw that the person who came was none other than General Shan's subordinate general, and beside him He also followed the personal soldiers in General Shan's mansion.
With a backbone, the patrol officer finally felt relieved...
Going to Yanbei again, Gao Deng gathered his energy and looked at the closed gate of Yanbei City. His eyes suddenly flashed sharply. He stared for a moment, then looked back and saw that all the brothers in the patrol were tired, even Old Chen. A martial arts master like Yan Qingchuan also had a slightly tired look in his eyes.
The message was still lingering in his mind, but there was no evidence at the moment. Gordon still suppressed the anger in his heart, rode out on horseback, stepped forward and said: "Inspection
General Gao Deng, the guard general, would like to see the commander, General Shan. Please pass on the message that Xu An, a lieutenant general in Gao's army, was assassinated last night. His life is at stake. He needs to go into the city to find medicine and seek medical treatment..."
Gao Deng was worried about Xu An's injury. He no longer pretended to be like a straw bag. He rode his horse to knock on the gate, showing his general style. The sound of knocking on the gate was full of confidence and carried echoes to the Yanbei Tower.
The guards and soldiers in the city were all on guard because of Gao Deng's imposing manner. In their impression, Gao Deng, who usually always had a flattering smile and a disgusting appearance, now looked like a general commanding an army. For a moment, He was stunned and forgot to respond.
After being reminded by the soldiers in Shan Bin's mansion, the general came to his senses first and shouted to the soldiers who had not yet come to their senses: "Are you all stupid? Hurry up and be on alert!"
The soldiers were woken up by the general's mouth. Although they didn't know why they wanted to use their bows full of robes at the soldiers patrolling the city, but the military orders were like mountains and could not be doubted, they had no choice but to draw their bows and arrows and aim at the fat general who came to knock on the gate one by one.
Lao Chen and Yan Qingchuan of the patrol saw the actions of the Yanbei Army on the city very clearly. They were so surprised that they hurriedly patted their horses and stepped forward, fearing that the leader of the patrol would be killed by an arrow.
But just a moment after leaving the formation, Gordon from the front was heard shouting angrily: "Go back!"
There was no doubt in the words, which actually made the former deputy commander of Yunying Division and the commander of Yuqian Division's Xiaoqi Battalion stop and stop moving forward.
Both Lao Chen and Yan Qingchuan understood Gao Deng's state of mind at this moment. General Xu's life was only in a blink of an eye. If he could not enter the city, the accusation could not last for half an hour. The two looked at each other, silently turned their horses' heads, and quietly retreated.
Gordon turned his head slightly and looked behind him again at Brother Xu An, who had dealt him the fatal blow. He was lying on the carriage. His face was almost livid due to excessive blood loss. He was dying and could no longer support himself.
Gordon looked back again, with no flinching in his small eyes, and spoke loudly to the hundreds of thousands of powerful crossbows on the city: "Gao Deng has no other intentions when he comes again. Firstly, our brothers in the army were seriously injured. Secondly, The day of military regulations is approaching. Didn't General Shan send someone to pass the order and order the Yanbei generals to enter the Yanbei military regulations? Gao Deng came here with only a medical officer and a wounded general into the city. He also asked the brothers in the city to pass the message. !」
Yan Qingchuan was shocked when he heard Gao Deng speak in the distance. Although Gao Deng didn't say anything, he had heard a few details. If the words were true, Gao Deng would only bring Lao Chen into Yanbei City. Wouldn't it be a sheep entering? If there is anything wrong with Gao Deng at the tiger's mouth, the patrol will be leaderless and unable to fight...
