Chapter 173
"It's just a bunch of stupid men who can only work hard!" Zhao Shiming stroked his beard and said with a smile, "where do you know how to take wisdom?"
He looked at the young man who was at the front, trotted up and said, "thanks to Xiaohe this time!"
So soon you're the "Xiaohe Lord"? He Yan laughs: "if it wasn't for the concerted efforts of all the people in the city to catch up with so many grass people, I can't do it alone."
Zhao Shiming has a better impression on this young man. No wonder he was appointed an official at a young age. He neither takes credit nor is arrogant. He has a much better temper than Li Kuang's dog. He asked, "what shall we do after that?"
He Yan glanced at the little old man and the people around him. The soldiers around him were also staring at her. When she first arrived at Rundu, she felt that the city was dead and lifeless, just guarding the door and waiting for death. After only one night, there is a trace of hope in their eyes.
Hope is always precious.
"I will discuss the next plan with Mr. Li. However, there is one more thing for you to help me with." He Yan Dao.
Zhao Shiming answered with a smile: "it's good to say, but it's OK to say it, Lord Xiaohe."
"It's going to take all the craftsmen in the city for a second," she said, lowering her eyes. "Make a mask for me as soon as possible."
……
In the hall, Li Kuang turned and looked at the two men in front of him. Qi Luo stands behind Li Kuang and stares at the beautiful woman in the room.
Ying Xiang handed over the token and the scroll. Li Kuang took it. After reading it, he said to Chu Zhao, "it turns out that it's the fourth master of Chu."
The name of the fourth master of Chu is much more famous than that of Wu'an Lang who came to that day. After all, there is a dissolute father known all over the country, and a gentleman who is in power. He is still beautiful and gentle. It's hard for people to think about it or not.
"Mr. Li, my childe was trapped in Rundu on the way back to shuojing road. Now Rundu is like this Mr. Xiang has a destiny. Can you ask Mr. Li to escort him out of the city
Qi Luo hears the speech and breathes a sigh of relief. This woman is so beautiful. If she stays in Rundu, it's really disturbing. What if Li Kuang takes a fancy to her and accepts her? Her position as the most beloved concubine could not be given up.
Li Kuang looked at Chu Zhao and said, "it's not difficult."
No matter how dissatisfied he was in his heart, Xu Jingfu's face could not be denied. Li Kuang can't help but think of Heyan. In this world, people are especially different. He Yan, like Heyan, was in Liangzhou, but he was worried that Rundu had come all the way to live with Rundu. However, Chu Zilan, who was in Rundu, wanted to leave as soon as possible.
However, he did not have the ability to force people to stay. The tunnel dug by general Feihong was to move the common people over, but now it has become a channel to send these childrens out.
Resentment was not willing to be pressed into the bottom of his heart, but Li Kuang's face floated a smile, which was even a little flattering. "After the fourth master of Chu came out of the city, he passed by Jinling or other cities. Could you ask for help for Rundu He rubbed his hands nervously. "Now Rundu is in danger. If Xiangye is willing to help..."
"It's natural," chuzhao smiles. "Once Chu and her maid get out of the city safely, they will find a way to help Rundu everywhere."
Thank you very much Li Kuang was a little frustrated. When did Wei's life be played with by the prime minister. The uto people were afraid that they would take advantage of the corruption of the royal family.
Just as he was talking, someone came in and said, "Mr. Li, after today, I plan to..."
He Yan's voice stopped abruptly. He looked at Chu Zhao and said in surprise, "brother Chu?"
"Brother he?" Chu Zhao was stunned, "Why are you here?"
He Yan didn't expect that he would meet Chu Zhao in Rundu and only said, "I Come and help. "
"What?" Li Kuang was stunned, "do you two know each other?"
"The fourth master of Chu had been in Liangzhou Wei for some time before," He Yan asked. "Brother Chu, you haven't told me, why are you here?"
"When Ying Xiang and I passed Rundu when we returned to Beijing, the uto attacked the city and were temporarily trapped in the city. I didn't expect to wait for brother he, "chuzhao said, but he laughed." it's fate. "
Who could have imagined that she and Chu Zhao had been separated for such a long time before they left. Unexpectedly, they met each other in Rundu. This is really in line with what Chu Zhao said at the beginning. Although there are many questions, this is not the time to speak. He Yan said to Chu Zhao, "brother Chu, I still have something to discuss with Mr. Li. If you are not in a hurry, can you come back after I finish talking with Mr. Li?""Nothing, I'm not in a hurry." Chu Zhao made a "please" action.
He Yan said to Li Kuang, "Mr. Li, let's go into the room and say it."
Li Kuang and he Yan went into the inner room. Qi Luo looked at them and bowed out of the room. Ying Xiang hesitated and said, "four childe..."
"We won't leave for the time being."
"But Xiangye's side..."
"I have my own opinion."
After a while, Ying Xiang said, "is it because you are worried about Miss He if you don't leave
Chu Zhao did not answer her words, smile faded, "Ying Xiang, you said too much."
Yingxiang stopped talking.
……
In the room, Li Kuang turned back and looked at Heyan, "do you want to hang a grass man? The uto have been cheated once, and they can't do it again. "
"Stupid as they are, they are cunning. After a lesson, I will be more suspicious in the future. Anyway, at night, there is no loss in hanging the grass man. Why don't you try it? If they are still willing to be deceived, it is good to take more arrows. "
"What if they don't fall for it?"
"That would be better."
Li Kuang shook his head: "brother he, I don't understand what you want to do?"
He Yan looks at Li Kuang. She also galloped on the battlefield with Li Kuang. Li Kuang is a serious and old-fashioned man. Although he has the ability, he doesn't like to use tricks. He Yan turned around and looked at the map on the wall of the house and said, "Mr. Li, if you are a uto, you know that you have been fooled into a fool last night, and today you have to do the same again. What will you do if tomorrow is the same?"
"I'll be so angry that I'll never be fooled again!"
"You're not going to shoot at people who come up and down the tower again?"
"Of course."
"That's good," He Yan looked back and looked at him with a smile. "Then the third time, our people can go directly out of the city. In any case, they will think that the people who come down from the tower are just fake grass men. "
Li Kuang was stunned.
Everyone has heard the story of the wolf coming. Once and twice, he was cheated. Even if he was a fool, he would not believe it again. The same is true of the uto people, who have paid so many arrows for nothing. If they come a few more times, they will not shoot at the grassroots. However, at the last time, those grassroots were quietly replaced by real Rundu soldiers, so they sneaked into their barracks in the night.
Li Kuang understood the meaning of Heyan, but he still had something he didn't understand. "Do you mean to let people out of the city?"
"Lord Li, I have said for a long time that defending is better than attacking. If we continue to guard like this, sooner or later, the uto will attack the city immediately. Yesterday's borrowing of arrows has already infuriated them. Now, when they are most dispassionate, we can still find an opportunity to attack the city after they have recovered. The troops of Rundu can't stop them from breaking through the city gate. "
Hearing this, Li Kuang couldn't help but say, "I know that naturally, but even if we sneak in at night, we still don't have enough people!"
"It's impossible not to catch all the uto soldiers. What we need to do is to burn their food and grass and destroy their morale. Without food and grass, the utoes will panic and lose their morale. He Yan said, "Lord Li, please ask Jinling for help."
"Jinling?"
He Yan looked at him: "Mr. Li, don't place your hope on hopeless people. General Feihong will not come. If he did, he would have come. Rundu must seek another way to survive if he wants to keep it. Even if you trust he Rufei again and run the lives of tens of thousands of people, you can still withstand your trust. "
The young man's eyes were firm and his tone was beyond doubt. For a moment, Li Kuang's heart was also shaken. After a while, he looked at Heyan and said, "that's easy to say. Even if you attack at night, how can you ensure that you can burn the food and grass of the uto people? They have many troops and horses. They are guarding the food and grass place. They are afraid that they will be found by the uto soldiers before they get close to them. "
"Five hundred."
"What?"
"I need 500 elite soldiers," the boy said, "Lord Li knows more than I do what the forward camp means. Led by me, the forward camp of 500 people will surely burn their food and grass. Even if we die on the battlefield, it doesn't matter if we die by the sword of the uto people. Please keep guarding the city and don't waste your sacrifice in vain. "
"Of course," she said, "it would be better if you could bring back the head of Hoyt."
……
Since that day, the grass man borrowed the arrow, and for three days, every day at the four o'clock of night, dozens of ropes will be slowly hung down from the Rundu tower. People hanging on the rope fall to the ground, and soon a group of "people" are replaced as the same.
At first, the uto people would try to shoot hundreds of arrows, but in the end, they were too lazy to be cheated and just shot a few scattered arrows and then stopped.
All the craftsmen of the city gathered together to make masks all night. Wang Ba came over with a oxcart box, and with the rest of the people moved all the boxes to the ground, and said to Heyan, "they are all here."Under everyone's sight, Heyan stepped forward and bent over to lift the lid of a box, which was filled with dense masks. Zhao Shi Ming picked up one and saw the mask's raw fangs and his eyes were like bronze bells. He was so terrible that he could not help but "ah ah" and let go of his hand. The mask fell back into the box. He muttered, "it's scary."
"Ahogo, are you going to fight the utos with these masks?" Wheat asked nervously, "these It's all ghost masks! It's really terrible. "
He Yan smiles: "is it terrible? Not really. "
In Jiyang, a "lie" mask can make Lingxiu avoid them. If they see these at present, they will be scared to death. When Zhao Shiming recruited all the craftsmen from Rundu to make masks for her, he Yan had only one requirement. The more weird and terrifying it looked, the better it was. It was better to be like those little ghosts in the hell on the 18th floor of the Buddha statue. They were ferocious and ugly.
Looking at these things herself, she felt that ugliness was really ugly, but she was not terrible. Maybe it was because in her life, people were much more terrible than ghosts, and she had seen more terrible and strange things than that.
Among the masks in this box, the top one looks very different. This one doesn't seem to be painted with those colorful patterns. The whole mask seems to be made of iron. It's airtight. It only shows a pair of eyes and chin. Heyan picks up the mask and gently covers it on his face.
Wang BA was dissatisfied: "why does your one look better? Can we treat them equally? Why do we have to wear these dogs and they all feel ugly? "
On one side, Li Kuang took a cold breath and said, "general he!"
Everyone looked at Li Kuang, and Jiang Jiao said with a smile: "Mr. Li, brother he is only Wu'an Lang now, and he has not been promoted to general."
Li Kuang realized that his words had been misunderstood by others. He explained, "I mean, this mask is the mask of general Feihong."
When he and he Rufei fought side by side, he wore a mask that looked very similar. Several times, he felt embarrassed and wanted to pick it. However, the mask looked like he Rufei's face, so he couldn't take it off. Later, his beloved concubine qiluo told him that he Rufei was very concerned about the scars on his face, so he had better not expose the short ones. Li Kuang gave up the idea.
A few years later, he Rufei returned to Beijing. He was told that he had taken off his mask in front of his majesty. He was a handsome and upright face, which was amazing. Li Kuang, who heard the news, was very angry. He felt that the man was sick. The so-called "ugly appearance without salt" was a lie. It is to find a gimmick for yourself, just to make people have contrast.
In addition to seeing he Rufei once when he went to the imperial court in central Beijing, they had not seen him for several years, but now they can see the shadow of he Rufei in the young man's body. As always heroic and generous.
But he will never be like he.
Li Kuang's heart filled with murmuring, is he Rufei's family brother, this young boy is still young, but has already had the demeanor of a great general. They are all surnamed he Did he Yuansheng raise an illegitimate son just like Chu Linfeng?
He Yan did not know that Li Kuang's thoughts had gone so far. Jiang Jiao on one side asked, "the mask of general Feihong? Mr. Li means that this mask is very similar to that of general Feihong? "
After a long time, he didn't remember the details of his mask, but he nodded: "it's very similar."
He Yan smiles. Since Da he Rufei became "Feihong" instead of her, she did not expect that one day she would wear this familiar mask.
"What are you going to do, brother Ho?" Huang Xiong wondered.
"It's not true, it's true, it's true. It's true. It's true. It's true. It's not true. It's true. It's not true. It's true. It's not true. It's true. It's not true. But I must have heard about the fierce battle between the mask general and the Western Qiang people. I went into the enemy camp wearing this mask. They didn't know who was under the mask. If we are afraid and our morale is in disorder, then we can take advantage of it. "
"You..." Li Kuang suddenly realized.
"I'm going to pretend to be general Feihong." Youth road.
……
The night was getting deeper and drizzle began to fall tonight.
In the field came the sound of insects, and in the camp, the uto soldiers were resting.
Li Yu's original plan of "cleaning up a few hundred thousand arrows" in the city was not a waste of their original plan. Huyat was so angry that he killed several archers.
However, Li Kuang's "grass man borrowing arrow" is still going on. Every night, some grass men will fall from the city. At first, the utopian soldiers still shoot arrows with vigilance. Later, they are no longer deceived. They even think that Li Kuang's move is mocking and insulting them. Huyate said angrily, "on the day when the city is broken, I will bury all Rundu soldiers and horses alive. I will tear Li Kuang's son of a bitch in front of all the people in Rundu city!"
After all, it's a shame to be fooled around. He had been laughing at Marca, but he didn't expect his turn so soon.
"General, what if Li Kuang releases those grassroots tonight?" Asked the man."What to do?" "Do you want me to be a fool again? Fool
None of his men dare not answer.
On the tower, he Yan, dressed in black, is tying ropes to her body. Behind her, there are 500 elite soldiers selected by Li Kuang for her in the army of Rundu.
Mai Mai and Hongshan were not the people of Liangzhou Wei's Qianfeng camp, and their skills were also mediocre. Looking at the brothers preparing, wheat said anxiously, "ahogo, those utoes, won't they shoot arrows here? If they shoot their arrows here, it will be too late for us to turn back. "
He Yan tiptoed and touched his head. Although the wheat had grown higher than her, he was more like a child, always making him think of he Yunsheng. She said patiently, "everything in the world is born of being, and being is born of nothing. On the first day, we used straw men to borrow arrows to create such an illusion, and then deliberately let the uto people see through. They thought that they knew our plan and relaxed their vigilance. After that, they changed nothing into existence, from falsehood to truth and from emptiness to reality. When our people really attack them at night, huyat must think it's a fake and will not take precautions. We will take advantage of this opportunity and they will not be able to defend themselves. "
"But how can you be sure?" Wheat will not give up.
He Yan said: "nothing in the world can be confirmed. I can only guess what huyat thinks as far as I can
It's a heart attack and a gamble.
He Yan turns his head and looks at the crowd behind him. These carefully selected Rundu soldiers, due to a long time and the consumption of the uto people, looked very thin and haggard, but their eyes were burning with fire. Being beaten in front of his home, now he finally has the opportunity to fight back. Even if the cost is life, Wei Nan'er is not afraid.
"When we go down, maybe the utos can't shoot, but maybe they can. Those who have been shot must not make a sound or move. " He Yan stopped for a moment, then went on: "only if we regard ourselves as" grass man ", the uto people will believe that we are really" grass man. "
Li Kuang's face was dignified. He naturally knew what he Yan meant. If there is a war, there will be sacrifices, especially the 500 elite soldiers tonight. If they make a sound or move after hitting the arrow, they are likely to be found out by the uto people, and by then, all their efforts will be wasted.
But it's too hard to bear the pain of being shot.
"Maybe if this arrow goes down, we will get hurt, maybe we will die." He Yan looked at everyone with a calm voice, "but we all have to remember what our purpose is. Even if they die, they also die in order to keep Rundu. The feather arrow of the uto people has no specific object. They may stab everyone, including me. I need you to understand the possible results. If someone can't accept it now, you can stand up and leave. Otherwise, because one person makes the whole night attack fail, I will not give up! "
The young man's brows and eyes are cold and sharp, and his eyes are cold. When he is really cold, no one dares to refute him. No one came forward.
Li Kuang was surprised to find that, unconsciously, he handed over the command of Rundu to the young man. Obviously, he was still young, and even before that, he did not know wu'anlang, who was called Heyan.
But he had the ability to convince people, just like general Feihong, who was still an adjunct general that year.
"Are you ready?"
"All right
"Good." He Yan hooked his lips and covered his face with the mask in his hand.
The mask covered the young man's face, and his childishness disappeared, revealing only a pair of beautiful eyes, as sharp as a knife, hiding all the edges.
She went to Li Kuang, and without waiting for him to recover, she snatched the sword from Li Kuang's hand.
"Lord Li, lend me your sword."
"Hello..." Li Kuang was slightly annoyed. It's a little more natural.
Li Kuang's sword is a good sword. Although it can't compare with Qinglang, it is also sharper and lighter than ordinary sword. Heyan weighed the sword in her hand. In a moment, she seemed to return to the battlefield in the past. She was still the general with the Fuyue army, and her blood was not cool.
"General Feihong can't do without a sword." She turned her head and said in a cold voice, "boys, put on your masks and follow me!"
