The old east wind comes to dream

Just after Ma Zhengyuan left Zhenxiguan with [-] Zhenyuan troops, less than two hours later, before it was completely dark, suddenly, commotion came from the gate of Zhenxiguan.

Li Guangzhi led more than [-] soldiers of the Pingyuan Army, holding tiger talismans to open the city gate.The school captain guarding the city hesitated to open the door when he saw that there was only a tiger talisman but no military order.However, Li Guangzhi forcibly ordered his soldiers to tie him up on the grounds that the military situation was urgent.Seeing that the situation was not right, the rest of the guards at the city gate stepped forward to block it, and on the other hand, they immediately sent people to the camp in the city to report to Lian Shizhi.

But the guards at the city gate were few after all, the Ping Yuan army swarmed up and quickly tied up the guards, and the rest rushed out of the city immediately.

What's happening here?The city gate guards were all terrified!Could it be that the Pingyuan army turned against it?

After Lian Shizhi heard the news, this idea also flashed in his mind, but then he put this idea aside. If he really rebelled at this time, there would be no reason to run away.Perhaps it was because the Pingyuan Army who came this time was not stationed with the Dragon Knights. Li Guangzhi was eager for revenge, so he took the opportunity to lead his troops away privately.Lian Shizhi couldn't help being furious, Li Guangzhi is so courageous!The crown prince is in this city, yet he still dares to send troops privately. Even if he wins in the future, he will be killed just by disobeying orders and attacking in violation of orders!On the battlefield, disobeying military orders is a taboo!

But later, I heard from the guards who came to report that Li Guangzhi was actually holding a tiger talisman!What the hell is going on here?Without thinking too much, Lian Shizhi immediately went to look for the prince. He had to first confirm whether the tiger talisman in Li Guangzhi's hand was real or not!

Lian Shizhi's footsteps were in a hurry, the crown prince was a little surprised when he saw him like this, "Old general, what happened?"

Lian Shizhi looked serious and straight to the point: "Your Highness, Li Guangzhi led the Pingyuan Army out of Zhenxi Pass! According to the report from the guards, he has a tiger charm in his hand. The old minister came to ask His Highness, is there such a thing?"

"What?" The prince's expression changed immediately, and he stood up abruptly in shock. "No! I never gave the tiger talisman to Li Guangzhi!"

Afterwards, the prince immediately called a personal guard and said, "Hurry up and get the lonely tiger talisman!"

When the matter developed to this point, Lian Shizhi still didn't understand, since the crown prince didn't give the tiger talisman to Li Guangzhi, then the tiger talisman in Li Guangzhi's hand was either fake or stolen!Either way, it meant that there was going to be a conspiracy happening.

Immediately, Lian Shi's face was full of frost, and he immediately ordered Lian Yongan and Lian Yongkang to make arrangements separately.While sending an order to the dragon knight guards, the whole team immediately assembled and turned into a defense formation to protect the prince.At the same time, go to send an order to the left-behind deputy general of the Zhenyuan Army to immediately close the city gates on all sides and block the streets in the city. Be sure to stand ready to prevent foreign enemies from invading.

The two immediately took orders, turned around and ran to make arrangements.

Looking at the prince again, his face was full of shock and anger, "The tiger talisman of the Pingyuan army is gone!"

At this moment, the curtain was suddenly lifted, the prince was now in a state of confusion, he couldn't help but angrily shouted: "Who let you in!"

After seeing clearly that it was Chu Lan who came in, the prince relaxed, and hurriedly said: "Gu Fei intends to reprimand, and now there is a big event, and the outside is not peaceful, so you stay here and don't move around casually. "

Chu Lan's face remained the same, she only sank a little, and said, "Your Highness, I also have an important matter to report."

Then he looked at Lian Shizhi, and Chu Lan said: "It has been found out that those who turned against me are not the people of Dazhao, but rebels! Now, they are going to take advantage of the chaos to make trouble, and want to harm His Highness!"

Lian Shizhi couldn't help exclaiming, "What?" Immediately after realizing it, the Tiger Talisman of the East Palace was stolen, and then Li Guangzhi led the Pingyuan Army to leave Zhenxiguan. This step by step is clearly an interlocking conspiracy!Even, the military report of the defeat came back so suddenly. Thinking about it now, it is also very strange, and it is very likely that it was also forged!He was extremely anxious, now that the Pingyuan army had left and the rebels rebelled, the situation in the town of Xiguanzhong would immediately become critical.Then he confirmed to Chu Lan: "Is what Madam said true?"

Chu Lan said seriously, "It's absolutely true."

At this time, the prince also gradually calmed down, and said to Lian Shizhi: "Her words are all credible."

Lian Shizhi nodded, without further delay, he immediately said to the crown prince: "Your Highness, now that the tiger talisman has been stolen, there must be something wrong with the subordinates of the Eastern Palace. I beg your Highness to move to my tent and have the Dragon Rider Guards personally guard me!"

The prince also realized immediately, indeed, among the guards and servants of the East Palace he brought, some of them must have betrayed!

Chu Lan and Lian Shizhi, under the protection of the Dragon Knights, quickly went to the Dragon Knights' central army camp.At the same time, Lian Shizhi ordered people to surround the 3 people immediately. When necessary, he can act first!Chu Lan's expression remained calm, but for some reason, there was something vaguely ominous in his heart.

Just now it was inconvenient for her to say in front of Lian Shizhi that she already knew that those so-called Jokhang people who were looted by the Rong clan were actually private soldiers raised by Gu Quan!She and Gu Zizhan calculated for a long time, although they had vaguely guessed that Gu Quan had other people in the northern border, but they did not expect that it was these people!

If it wasn't for the Huamanlou spy who was arranged by Gu Zizhan to replace Gu Hong just now, even Chu Lan would never have imagined that Gu Quan had such an idea.Yes, now it seems that he intends to attack the crown prince directly!After all, Gu Quan was scheming, he was just the tip of the iceberg in the eyes of those private soldiers in the south of the Yangtze River, the real power, from the beginning to the end, was in the northern border!Moreover, he acted meticulously. The spy had been away for so long, and because he was guarded, he had been unable to deliver news to Gu Zizhan and Chu Lan. This time he sneaked out, which also means that those people will soon find out.And at that time, it must be the time to do it!

Thinking of this, Chu Lan couldn't help but quicken her pace a little.However, at this moment, suddenly a few people dressed as Donggong guards rushed over, and were stopped by Lian Shizhi's people.

The prince recognized the person, and asked in surprise, "Officer Xiao Lang, what's the matter with you?"

The person who came was Xiao Cheng, the official of the right guard of the East Palace. Behind him was a few guards of the East Palace, about ten of them.

Xiao Chenggao shouted: "Your Highness, if your subordinates report anything, please back away!"

nonsense!Hearing what Xiao Cheng said, everyone present felt absurd.Lian Shizhi ordered the dragon riders to fend off Xiao Cheng and the others, and wanted to continue walking.But at this time, Chu Lan suddenly jumped up high, pulled out the waist knife of a dragon knight guard beside him, and threw it at Xiao Cheng viciously!

Xiao Cheng was stabbed in the abdomen with a knife, and he let out a scream of "ah", and everyone saw that there was a dagger in his hand that had been poisoned and was shining with a faint light!

The few people behind Xiao Cheng saw that the matter had been exposed, so they stopped covering up and all attacked the dragon knight guards guarding the prince.But they were few after all, so they were caught by the dragoon guards in two or three strokes.As soon as Lian Shizhi asked who ordered them, he saw that these people had bitten the poison in their mouths and died immediately.Chu Lan locked the injured Xiao Cheng's acupoints with sharp eyes and quick hands, and immediately threw it to the dragon riding guard Haosheng to take care of him.Afterwards, Lian Shizhi glanced at Chu Lan, all of them looked serious, obviously he knew in his heart that the opponent this time must have come prepared!I'm afraid that there is already chaos outside!

Soon, when they had just escorted the prince to the Dragon Knights' middle barracks, there was a complete commotion outside.

The nearly [-] rebels who pretended to surrender are now completely rebellious!

Taking advantage of the fact that the guards were not on guard, they directly snatched the weapons and killed the guards. Afterwards, they found the place where the ordnance was stored in the south of the city, and directly robbed the armory!Today, these nearly 3 people have already headed towards the place where the dragoon guards are stationed, and killed them!

Lian Shizhi hurriedly ordered the dragoon guards to prepare for battle!Now the other party has nearly 3 people, while the Dragon Knights only have [-], and the remaining Jokhang army of less than [-] is still guarding the city gate. In order to prevent foreign enemies from invading, they cannot be easily mobilized.

Lian Yongkang, who had returned with an order, cursed angrily: "Li Guangzhi is really stupid as a pig!" He said to Lian Shizhi: "Grandfather, why don't we simply abandon this town of Xiguan and go all the way to Yunzhou City. After the army is assembled, kill these thieves together."

Lian Shizhi was silent.

The prince was also a little anxious, so he also said: "Yes, old general Lian, we have fewer people than them, why don't we avoid their edge first, fight and retreat, and go to Yunzhou City to find General Duan."

"No." Only a cold female voice sounded, it was Chu Lan. "Yunzhou City is still at war. If we lure these 3 people over, don't we want to make the army suffer from the enemy? Besides, we don't know if there will be enemies ambushing along the way. Running all the way is too risky." Looking at Lian Shizhi, Chu Lan said: "At the moment, we must guard Zhenxi Pass well, and we must not cut off our own back road."

What she said happened to be in the same place as Lian Shizhi wanted to go.Besides, Zhenxiguan must not be lost right now, otherwise, if something goes wrong in Yunzhou City, or if the Rong tribe has another secret hand with these rebels, then they really have no way out.Once Zhenxiguan is lost, the enemy can even enter Hexi Mansion directly, and rush to the capital all over the country!

A glimmer of appreciation flashed in his eyes, and Lian Shi's decision was made in his heart.Right here in Xiguan Town, guard Beicheng well, vowing to force these rebels out of Xiguan first!

**********

In fact, through Qingyuan, Chu Lan has always been in touch with Jianwei.If there is nothing wrong, Qingyuan will bring a flower branch, and if something serious happens, she will bring a stone.A few days ago, what Qingyuan brought back were all flowers and branches, but unexpectedly, they were turned into stones when they arrived nearby, even with blood!

After Gu Zizhan asked about Jianwei, he confirmed the news that Chu Lan was at Zhenxi Pass. Regardless of the fact that it was late at night, he immediately sent scouts to Zhenxi Pass to inquire about the news. At the same time, he hurriedly wrote a letter, afraid that he would forget it. , stretched out his hand and tied it to Qing Yuan's leg, letting it go to find Chu Lan immediately.After finishing these, immediately assembled the team, ran overnight, and headed towards Zhenxi Pass.

She must be clear about what happened in Zhenxiguan!They are obviously going to meet each other, why are there side issues again!

It only took one day, and in the evening of the second day, Gu Zizhan and his party had arrived at a place twenty miles away from Zhenxi Pass.

At the same time, Tan Ma also reported the news back.

The four gates of Zhenxiguan were closed tightly, and the sound of fighting erupted in the city!

Qing Yuan, who was deliberately released from the city by Chu Lan from the east, also flew back to Gu Zizhan.

The letter was scribbled, "Thirty thousand enemies are the private soldiers of Ningling County King. They seized them and gathered at the south gate, seized weapons, food and grass, and attacked me from the south." In addition, Chu Lan will also lead troops to Yunzhou City, including Li Guangzhi. I wrote it down briefly, and when Gu Zizhan finished reading it, he was already extremely angry.

Her nominal father is really ruthless!From the moment they defected on the battlefield, everything has gone according to their plan.Don't need to think too much, the military report of Duan Wu's defeat must be forged, the purpose is to transfer the Pingyuan army away, so that he can harm the prince when the city is short of manpower!

However, Li Guangzhi was obsessed with hatred, so he became a pawn to be used by others!How stupid and crazy!hateful!

Gu Zizhan found Jianwei, handed her a token sent by Chu Lan, and said to her: "Take this token, lead a team, and immediately go northwest to intercept the Pingyuan Army! But remember, That coach is a no-brainer, if you want to be outsmarted and irresistible, you must let them return quickly to support the dragon riders in Zhenxiguanzhong!"

Jian Wei took orders immediately.Gu Zizhan then shook the reins and said to the three thousand people, "Everyone, follow me and go to battle to kill the enemy!"

She took the lead and rushed straight to the south gate of Zhenxi Pass.

At this time, the sky was already dark, and it was another night without stars and moons in the ink-like sky and earth.
