Chapter 834: Secret Assassination Order
It is said that the line from Jincheng to Xiping is surrounded by mountains and the path is secluded. After the night rain, the sky is clear and the sky is clear. Chen Long and Ma Yunlu teamed up, and the gentian bright silver gun and the phantom ice soul gun teamed up to stage a good show of ice soul flying dragon. The flying dragon entered the sky, danced proudly, and disappeared into nothing after a while.
At this moment, on the distant mountain ridge, two pairs of strange eyes were staring blankly at the seven-colored ice soul flying dragon that was gradually disappearing into nothingness. It wasn't until the flying dragon disappeared that one of them stroked his gray beard and murmured: "As expected by Wen You, Chen Long personally led the team here. Could it be that this kid has entered the country again in just a few months?"
The other man's hair had turned completely white and he sighed: "I am conceited as a swordsman in the world. After middle age, I rarely encounter an opponent. Unfortunately, I lost to him several times. This kid is really evil. Especially the shocking dragon strike. I heard that Lu Bu, the God of War, also became insane because of this. Under the Maiduo Peak, with the combined strength of the four of us, we should have been able to capture him, but unexpectedly, the mountain suddenly shook, allowing this kid to escape again. Alas, what is this God's will? ?" After saying that, he looked up at the sky, showing a helpless expression for the first time.
The two people watching the Qinglong Army on this mountain ridge were surprisingly none other than Sword Immortal Wang Yue and his companion Bingzhou Hero Li Jin. It turned out that the stone ledge collapsed in the Maiduo Mountain earthquake that day. Not only did Chen Long lose his life, but Wang Yue, Li Jin, and Shi A also hid in the cracks in the rocks and escaped the disaster. Only Xia Houshang was among the stone ledges when he bent his bow and arrowed that day. Up to now, I still don’t know whether I am alive or dead.
The three of them narrowly escaped death and learned that Chen Long had fled back to Chang'an and captured Luoyang, the core city of the Central Plains, and collected all Zhong's troops. They were all filled with grief and anger, and secretly contacted Cao Mengde's think tank Liu Ye again to formulate a new assassination plan. . Cao Mengde was furious at the surrender of all Yuan Shu's troops to the Qinglong Army. The two sides hit it off immediately. Mengde immediately issued a secret assassination order and sent Cao Zhen, Cao Chun, Xia Houba, and Xun Yun to form a Tiger and Leopard Cavalry special warfare assassination team to specifically cooperate with Wang Yue and Wang Yue. The assassinations of Li Jin and Shi A. In addition to Chen Long, the assassination targets also included the generals around Chen Long.
Cao Zhen, also known as Zidan, lost his father when he was young and was adopted by Cao Cao. He was known for his strength and bravery since he was a child. He was taught to ride on tigers and leopards, and his status was almost as noble as Cao Pi and Cao Zhi. Xun Yun, also known as Changqian, was the eldest son of Xun Yu. He was resourceful and the best friend of Cao Zhi.
Wang Yue and others quickly got in touch with Li Ru, who had just become Han Sui's military advisor. Li Ru was overjoyed and expected that Chen Long would not confront Cao Jun now after reorganizing his army, but would first wipe out Tianshui and take back Ma Yunlu. The danger of the Weishui River prevented Xiliang and solved Chang'an City's worries. Therefore, the assassination team secretly lurked to the Tianshui line, just waiting for the opportunity to assassinate Chen Long. Li Ru contacted Li Jue, Guo Si and other Bingzhou bandits, together with Han Sui's Xiliang forces, and dug a trap in Xiliang, waiting for Chen Long to exploit it.
Indeed, as Li Ru expected, Chen Long personally led the army to Tianshui, and Chen Long's troops came to attack Xiliang with swords and guns. Zhang Ji of Tianshui surrendered, which happened to crush Wang Yue and Li Ru in Tianshui. Chen Long’s sweet dream. Chen Long's army was in control and gave the assassination team almost no chance. The army had already entered Jincheng. When the three armies attacked Xiping Mansion, Wang Yue and Li Jin had to secretly follow the army to inquire about Chen Long, and happened to see the dazzling spectacle of the Ice Soul Flying Dragon.
At this moment, Chen Long did not know the existence of the assassination team. He and Ma Yunlu happily collected the silver guns and ordered the army to set off collectively. When the soldiers arrived at Xiaocigou, they saw that the Huangshui River merged into the Yellow River. It was turbulent and magnificent, but the river water was very clear, not as dirty and yellow as the lower reaches.
Chen Long ordered his army to cross the river directly, march westward along the Huangshui River, find a place to camp, and then find a local guide to lead the way. After the army crossed the river in a mighty manner, it was getting dark and they set up camp again. Lu Chang excitedly led a group of people to see Chen Long and said: "My Lord, you are lucky. There happens to be a hunter who lives in the nearby mountains. I heard that our Qinglong Army is coming. , as long as I give you some silver, I am willing to lead the army to Xiping Mansion."
Chen Long was slightly startled. On the surface, he was calm. He saw that the Orion, who was more than 20 years old, was calm and calm, without any fear. He had a dark complexion, a medium build, a thick neck, and was carrying a beast bow hanging from his waist. He picked up his sharp ax and asked with a smile: "Who is your little brother's name? Where is this place?"
The hunter bowed slightly and saluted, and said in a northwest voice: "The villain is the Wuhu man, his name is Mozhazai, and this place is called Hulanggou."
Chen Long smiled slightly, and his brain was already working rapidly. No matter how much he thought about it, his name appeared in Chen Long's mind. He was one of the generals under the Qiang King Mi Dang.
Mo Zhezai didn't know that his identity would be revealed as soon as they met, but he still looked at Chen Long proudly. Chen Long smiled and said: "It's such a beautiful tiger wolf ditch, but how can we get to Xiping Mansion?"
Mo Zhezai said without thinking: "The ditch here is deep and the mountains are high. The terrain is dangerous. It is more dangerous than a tiger or a wolf, hence the name. There are two roads, one is along the Huangshui River, which is slightly easier to walk, but the water loops around the mountains. It would take ten days and a half to reach Xiping; the other route, although it goes deep into the mountains, has steep roads, high cliffs and deep valleys, is very difficult to travel, but it is a shortcut, and you can reach the city of Xiping within three days."
Lu Chang said in surprise: "It's rare to find such a shortcut. With Mo Zhe as your guide, it must be faster to take the smaller road." Mo Zhe nodded in agreement.
Chen Long pondered slightly. It was no accident that Moth Block appeared on the path of the army. Thinking about it, there must be Li Ru behind him. No matter whether it is a big road or a small road, some arrangements may have been made, and the dangerous places on the small road may become a conspiracy trap. And who is the hunter staring at him?
Thinking of this, Chen Dao, who was a little worried about the North Road marching into Wuwei, was also very curious about what kind of sure-fire trap was waiting for him. Thinking of this, he smiled and said: "The small road must not be suitable for the march of the army. In this case, if it is blocked by moths, you can lead the army to Huangshui. If you can reach the gate of Xipingfu smoothly, I will promise you five hundred gold and five baht."
Gold five baht is five baht coins of high quality. Five hundred and five baht coins are undoubtedly a huge fortune for a hunter. Unexpectedly, Mo Zhanzai seemed to frown, and Chen Long smiled and said, "Too few?"
Mo Zhezai hurriedly covered it up and said: "No, no, no less. It's just that the road is a waste of time. My family is still waiting for me to return from hunting. I'm afraid I won't be able to obey my orders."
Chen Long smiled and said: "It doesn't matter. I have plenty of food here. Just take some and let the soldiers deliver it to your home."
There were no family members nearby, and he finally showed a hint of panic and said, "How dare you bother the sergeant? I'll just take some back." After that, he turned around and started to leave.
Chen Long cleared his throat and said, "Wait a minute."
Mo Zheza stopped and looked back at Chen Long. Chen Long said leisurely: "But it is such a small road, it would be a waste if it is not used. It is expected that Han Sui was not prepared. If he can use a small team to attack by surprise, he may be able to succeed in one fell swoop."
The moth's dark face showed a hint of joy, and he pretended to be calm and said: "The path is a mountain road, and you can even go directly to the back of Xiping City."
Chen Long remembered the story of Deng Ai breaking through the Yinping path, and then he said to the moth: "Little brother, I have a not very detailed map here. You can show me the route of the path." After that, he held it in his arms. He took out a map and beckoned Moth to take a closer look.
Mo Zhanzhao had no doubt that it was there, and walked towards Chen Long. When he was about to look at the map side by side with Chen Long, a big hand suddenly invaded with lightning and pinched Mo Zhazha's throat.
If you want to know what happens next, listen to the explanation next time.
