In Yongzhou, in a canyon on the way from Tongguan to Chang'an, seven or eight thousand people of various colors holding various weapons are quietly ambushing here, waiting for their target this time.
"General Wei, it's been three days and the other party hasn't come yet. Could it be that there is a mistake and Li Zifeng is really coming here?" A big man wearing tattered armor and a full beard stepped forward and stood beside a man holding a flower knife. The big man shouted.
"General Ma, don't worry. This time, the news came from the insider himself. It won't be false. It should be in the next two days. Even if you don't come today, you should be here tomorrow!" The one who spoke was not the one holding the flower. The big man holding the sword was a young man holding a sword on the other side.
Regarding this person, Ma Shumou ignored him. Although they have temporarily cooperated, they are not on the same path after all. If there wasn't someone they wanted to kill in common this time, they wouldn't have gotten together at all.
Of these three people, the first two were generals of the Sui army who fled after Chang'an was captured by the Jin army. Wearing tattered armor, his surname is Ma and his given name is Shumou. The person holding the flower sword is Wei Wentong's brother Wei Wensheng, who is also capable of winning the three armies bravely.
Wei Wensheng said that the Sui Dynasty general who guarded Tongguan in the Tang Dynasty was nicknamed "Sai Zhang Fei" and was known as the "Magic Sword General". He was a ruthless, but highly skilled military general who was loyal and upright.
As for the third person, he was not a general of the Sui army, but a son of a noble family and one of the representatives of the imperial party.
As for the seven or eight thousand people under their command, a very small part were secretly trained by various aristocratic families. The rest were some of the remnants of the Sui army recruited by Wei Wensheng and Ma Shumou, and some of them were from nearby areas. The bandits are rogues.
As long as these bandits and bandits are given enough money, they will dare to rebel on the spot, let alone ambush a person here.
What's more, since they have found these bandits, they will naturally not tell the truth in order to take advantage of them. These bandits have no idea who the person they are really about to ambush is. They only think it is an important figure in the Jin army, or even those few The bandit leader is still planning to finish his job and go to the territory of other princes to enjoy the rest of his life.
Wei Wensheng and Ma Shumou did not have the strength of Yang Jian to escape from the Jin army's interception and forcefully fight their way out, nor did others have the good luck to get through.
Therefore, they could only flee in all directions when captured by the Jin army. It wasn't until a few days ago that the housekeeper of an old acquaintance came to contact them that what happened today happened.
And speaking of it, no matter what, such a person could actually gather such a large number of big players in Yongliang and hide them until now. This is enough to show that although Yongliang was captured not long ago, the Jin army has not yet fully mastered it.
Next, it may take some time to completely master this place and transform it into strength.
Although he was unwilling to pay attention to the young man holding the sword, after listening to the other party's explanation, Ma Shumou finally let go of his hanging heart.
Ma Shumou also knew about the so-called insider. When their old friend sent his steward to contact them, he mentioned that the so-called insider was a centurion leader of the Xiaoguo Army. Later he was incorporated into the Tiger Guard.
If these circumstances were not understood clearly in advance, how could Ma Shumou and Wei Wensheng easily agree to this matter. After all, if this matter does not succeed, there is a high probability that he will die without a burial place.
"Since that dog thief wants to pay a private visit incognito, I should have waited for such an opportunity. Today, we will kill that dog thief and avenge the blood of the First Master." Wei Wensheng thought about the imminent killing of Li Xiang, and his heart suddenly became hot. .
Killing Li Xiang, not to mention avenging his father and brother, his former friend and lord. As long as he can do this, no matter which prince he works for, he will be their guest. After all, being able to kill the number one prince in the world is enough to prove his ability.
After waiting for who knows how long, the expected signal was finally sent out, and Wei Wensheng and others were all refreshed. After waiting for three days, the goal finally appeared on the fourth day.
After all, every minute you wait, or even every second, increases the threat of being discovered by the Jin army. With their patchwork of men and horses, once the Jin army discovered their traces, they would be bitten to the bone in an instant.
At the beginning, the Sui King Yang Jian, who had tens of thousands of troops and was entrenched in Guanzhong, was lost in the hands of the Jin army, not to mention the lost dogs like them.
"The target has appeared. The whole army has killed all those who have gone out. No one is left alive." At this time, the children of the aristocratic families were revealed, and each one shouted more happily than the last.
For Wei Wensheng and Ma Shumou, it was revenge, but it was different for the children of these aristocratic families. Killing Li Xiang, for these people, is the result of greed.
In their view, as long as Li Xiang died, Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty would have removed the biggest stumbling block, and he could then try to control the power of the Jin army one by one. At that time, it would be easy for Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty to reorganize the country. And these ministers who had made great contributions in this matter were naturally lifted by the tide.
After expecting that the time should be almost the same, Li Xiang set off from Tongguan leisurely. At this moment, the long-awaited ambush finally arrived.
Dian Wei and Xing Tian protected Li Xiang on the left and right in the middle. Xing Tian killed the soldiers who were about to attack Li Xiang with an axe. Then, while throwing the body of a thief soldier away, he said to Li Xiang: "My lord, Seeing this posture, the ambush in front is probably no less than 5,000 people. We are outnumbered and the enemy is outnumbered, so it is not suitable for us to fight against them. Please, my lord, stop the enemy first, and I will stop them here first."
Although Li Xiang brought the entire Tiger Guard with him when he came out, it is impossible for all of such a thousand people to surround him. Otherwise, with a thousand guards around him, what is the significance of his private visit incognito?
In fact, among the thousand Tiger Guards, there are only a dozen people following Li Xiang. The rest are guarding within a few miles in batches and will not assemble until needed.
This is also the reason why people like Wei Wensheng dare to come out and ambush Li Xiang even though they know that Li Xiang is guarded by tiger guards. Although the Tiger Guards are strong, it will take some time for them all to reach Li Xiang's side. But they didn't believe it. During this period of time, they couldn't kill more than a dozen people out of 7,000 people!
Afterwards, the worst possible thing is to abandon these soldiers and run away alone!
