Chapter 56

Yu Yanlu advised: "The situation in Wuhai City is steep and easy to defend but difficult to attack, but there are only fears of fraud. W     w√Wく.★8く1★zくWく.√C                                                                                                                                                                                                                      

Yang Hao led Zhang Lang, Li Wei, Qiu Lu, and the four generals of Wuwei, and led hundreds of guards in Nei Temple Square to escort Li Qing into Wuhai City. Xie Bozhi and Lou Heyan used brocade curtains to build a colorful shed to welcome the imperial carriage in the main entrance three days ago. The colorful shed was five feet high and ten feet wide, with flying phoenixes and hundreds of birds embroidered with congratulations, which was extremely luxurious. In order to build this colorful shed, more than 40 houses were demolished in Wuhai City, spending about 30,000 taels of gold and silver. Li Wei teased: "No wonder the people in Shuofang are so poor, they used all their money here."

Xie Bozhi, Lou Heyan and the bride sentry Long Mingyue, Hao Zan and other hundreds of officials were waiting outside the colored shed. Amid the string music, Li Qing walked down the soft carriage. After everyone paid a visit, all the stars surrounded Li Qing like moonlight and walked towards the colored shed. Lou Heyan's tooth army blocked the guards of Neisifang, and only allowed Zhang Lang to enter, and no weapons were allowed. Some soldiers came to remove Zhang Lang's sword, but were pushed down by Zhang Lang. The tooth army was about to shoot, and the guards of Neisifang were not showing weakness. They were in a hurry and were tense.

Xie Bozhi sneered: "Governor Yang, it's not good to dance swords and guns in front of the princess. Besides, there is a place for drinking in the coloring shed. What does it mean to bring so many soldiers in the future? Who dares to murder you in front of the princess?"

Yang Hao: "As a general of guards, he will never leave his sword. This is the rule set by Emperor Taizong. As a bride sending envoy, the princess's carriage has not entered Lingzhou City. How dare we undo the sword?"

The two of them made Li Qing alarm. She stood up and said with a sneer: "Let them bring their swords in, otherwise they will not be able to drink this glass of wine." As the matter came to this, Yang Hao had to give in and asked Zhang Lang and others to untie the bow and arrow, put down the crossbow, and only brought their own swords into the room.

The attendant started to serve wine and food. Yang Hao placed wine and food in front of him, but there were no chopsticks. Zhang Lang shouted, "Is this the host's way to treat guests?" Xie Bozhi sneered, "How can you, a prisoner, eat the wine and meat in Shuofang?" He stood up and threw the wine glass on the ground. The surrounding brocade curtain was immediately pulled off, and hundreds of soldiers rushed out to surround Yang Hao.

At the same time, the horns outside the colored shed, and the sound of killing was shocking. Yang Hao slapped the table and angrily shouted: "Xie Bozhi, what do you want to do?" Long Mingyue overturned the table and laughed loudly: "Yang Hao, now, you still dare to blame Lord Xie? You colluded with horse bandits to hijack the princess, and the crime should be destroyed!" Hundreds of people from all over echoed: "Kill Yang Hao to thank the world."

Yang Hao laughed proudly and said, "A group of villains dares to murder me? As a court envoy, who dares to touch me without a court order?" Xiao Mingyue suddenly said, "The princess's oral order: Yang Hao, the governor of Fengzhou and the commander of the Xining Army, colluded with the Shatuo bandits and kidnapped the palace to Fengzhou, and wanted to plot against him. If this thief is not eliminated, the country will not be peaceful. Shuofang Town takes this thief back to Chang'an to report to Your Majesty and deal with it according to the law."

Yang Hao was stabbed in the chest with a sword. His face suddenly turned gray. At this time, another tooth ran in blood and reported: "Report to Your Highness, and all the rebellions in Fengzhou have been wiped out."

Hearing that all the brothers who were living with each other day outside the door were killed, Qiu Lu and Wu Wei each howled, drew their swords and jumped up to Xie Bozhi, and Long Mingyue rushed over. The bowstrings sounded one after another, and a arrow shot down Qiu Lu, and another arrow killed Wu Wei. After Qiu Lu fell to the ground seriously injured, six or seven Shuofangya soldiers came forward with guns and poked seven or eight blood holes on him.

Yang Hao stepped forward and snatched a gun. He swept the fangs over the army in three or five ways, glared at Li Qing and said, "What crime did you commit? Your Highness should treat me like this?" Li Qing did not answer coldly, but his eyes turned from Yang Hao to the side.

Long Mingyue, Xie Bozhi stepped forward and persuaded Li Qing to leave the coloring shed first. Li Qing nodded silently and left the coloring shed from the back door with Xiao Mingyue and others. Xie Bozhi laughed and said, "Yang Hao, you intend to collude with horse bandits to hijack the princess halfway. This is the death penalty for destroying the nine clans. You really dare to come to Shuofang in a noble way, you really don't know how to live or die."

Lou Heyan advised Yang Hao: "I have always heard that General Yang's martial arts and strategies are the best in the world, but today you are alone in a siege. There are two hundred soldiers in ambush inside and outside the colored shed, and the general will definitely not get out. Listen to Lou Heyan's advice: surrender, so as not to affect the innocent." At this time, the curtain of the colored shed was lifted, and seventeen or eighteen seriously injured and captured guards from the open space outside the door were kneeling on the open space.

Lou Heyan said: "They are the best soldiers I have ever seen. I really don't want them to die in my hands. General Yang, their life or death is in your words."

A trooper gritted his teeth and shouted, "Sir, don't care about us!" As soon as he said that, a soldier strode forward and slashed his neck. The head rolled to the ground, his eyes still opened. Yang Hao was speechless, abandoned the gun on the ground, and Zhang Lang and Li Wei also threw the knife in his hand. The soldier rushed forward, took off Yang Hao's helmet, untied his sword, and bent his arms behind him and tied them up.

The crowd rushed out of the crowd and kicked Yang Hao staggeringly. His finger almost hit Yang Hao's nose, and he sneered and said, "Do you know who I am? I almost made you lose your head!" The person who spoke was Hao Zan, the deputy envoy who sent his parents. On the day Li Qing was kidnapped, he rushed to Youzhou. He was panicked and sought death several times, but fortunately he was stopped by his servants. Just as he was in panic, Bo Zhongyan, a popular man beside Qiu Shiliang, suddenly found him.

Hao Zan knew that Bo Zhongyan was resourceful and hurriedly asked him for advice on getting out of the way. Bo Zhongyan first scolded him, saying that Hao Zan was frightened and died of ashes, and his desire to seek death was even stronger. Seeing that the time was ripe, Bo Zhongyan changed the subject and said, "It's all for Qiu Gong, and I can't stand for death. If you want to live, you can only follow my arrangements." Hao Zan grabbed a life-saving straw in despair, but was reluctant to let go, and said hurriedly and earnestly: "If you can save my life, you are my reborn parents."

Bo Zhongyan helped him up and smiled and said, "It is the general who saved the general, and Bo can only offer a plan for the general." Bo Zhongyanxian's plan was to ask Hao Zan to see Lian Yong in Xiazhou as the deputy envoy, and told him that the princess was kidnapped by Yang Hao and asked him to send troops to assist the Shence army in the north to welcome the princess.

Li Qing was kidnapped by horse bandits in his jurisdiction, and Lian Yong was already scared. Xia Sui had many horse bandits. When Meng Bochang was in power, he forced his efforts to suppress the bandits, and the big and small horse bandits fled one after another. After Meng Bochang's death, the bandits were rekindled again, and Lian Yong used up all the methods of suppressing and retaliating without any effect.

However, although the horse bandits are fierce and stubborn, they are just a tinea scabies to the government. They may disturb the people, but they do not hurt their muscles and bones, and they are not harmful. Lian Yong could have turned a blind eye, but Li Qing's sudden robbery made him angry. These days, he mobilized heavy troops to prepare to completely clear the horse bandits in his jurisdiction.

Lian Yong was not worried about losing when fighting against the horse bandits, but it was not easy to win. What's more important is that even if he defeated the horse bandits, it would still be useless if he couldn't find Li Qing. After the court held accountable, he still couldn't escape death.

Hao Zan insisted that the person who hijacked the princess was Yang Hao, which made Lian Yong feel excited. With Yang Hao in front of him, the sky fell and could not hit him. However, when Hao Zan asked Xia Sui Town to send troops to assist the Shen Ce Army in the north to fight back the princess, Lian Yong's heart was filled with shadows, and he instinctively felt danger. He let the Shen Ce Army enter Xia Sui, what if they were reluctant to leave? What would he do if he could drive them out?

Hao Zan seemed to see through Lian Yong's thoughts and laughed: "Brother Lian, please rest assured. Shen Ce Army is thousands of miles away, how can I transfer it to you in a short while? Please borrow three thousand troops and bluff under my banner. Then Yang Hao is not a fool. On the day the heavenly army arrives, he will not return the princess."

Lian Yong thought about it and decided that he would not suffer any loss in doing so, so he agreed readily. He immediately dispatched 5,000 troops, 3,000 troops under the banner of Hao Zan, 2,000 troops under the banner of Xia Sui Army, 5,000 people rushed north and approached Xiao Chang'an. However, everyone knew the strength of the Xining army, and they set up camp for more than a hundred miles away from Xiao Chang'an.

Five days later, he heard the news that Yang Hao was going to escort Li Qing to Lingwu south. Hao Zan was overjoyed when he heard this news on the Gobi Desert in the south of Little Chang'an. He left the army and headed straight for Lingwu. This time he straightened his waist, as if he was a hero who took back the princess.

While the coloring shed was in a violent transformation, hundreds of guards from the Nei Temple House who were left outside the door were surrounded by thousands of teeth. After a fierce battle of incense, all except for seventeen or eighteen seriously injured and captured were killed. The secret spies hurried out of the city and told Yu Yanlu that the news was told Yu Yanlu. Yu Yanlu was frightened, so he hurriedly took out the treasure bag that Yang Hao gave him and shouted: "Beat the drum and gather the generals." The officers at the Fire Camp team gathered together, and Yu Yanlu showed Yang Hao's order in the treasure bag: "General Yang has an order, and he will retreat thirty miles immediately." Everyone looked at each other without realizing it, but the words were written like this, and no one dared to object.

Retreatment is sometimes more difficult and dangerous than advancing. If you are not careful, the enemy will take advantage of the opportunity. Since Shuofang dares to openly capture Yang Hao in Wuhai City, he must be ready to fight. For well-trained troops, the offensive and defensive transformation can be completed in an instant. Lou Heyan used the five thousand "Flying Fish Army" to deal with the Fire Camp. The "Flying Fish Army" is Wang Chongwen's personal guard army and the elite of Shuofangya army.

When the general of the army general Hu Shide heard Yu Yanlu retreat, he immediately ordered more than a thousand people on both sides of the left and right to pursue him. Lou Heyan's younger brother, deputy general Lou Chuan, asked in discomfort: "The Xining army has retreated, why don't the general chase after him?" Hu Shide said: "Brother, you are a good player in killing the enemy, but if you want to be a general, you cannot just know how to charge and judge the situation. Yu Yanlu is Yang Hao's confidant, a tiger general in Fengzhou. Don't you think it's strange that Yang Hao was taken away by him and retreated without sending an arrow? There must be a fraud in this! I'm afraid I will suffer a loss after chasing him."

Lou Chuan was also surprised and said, "Since the general is expected to be a fraud, why do you still have to attack on the left and right wings? Isn't this driving the sheep into the tiger's mouth?" Hu Shide sighed and said, "What's the solution? The princess and the imperial envoy must have an explanation."
