One Piece of Song Dynasty

After reorganizing the army, Qu Duan led the remaining people and rushed toward Shiling Pass overnight holding torches.

Salihe withdrew his troops very quickly. It only took an hour to reach Shiling Pass. It was already dark, but Salihe did not stop. After passing Shiling Pass, he left horses for Peng Xuan. Then he continued on his way.

As soon as Sa Lihe left Shiling Pass, Yue Yun rushed to Shiling Pass with his cavalry. However, seeing Shiling Pass, Yue Yun did not dare to step forward, so he had to dismount and rest to wait for the follow-up troops to arrive.

At this time, in Shiling Pass, looking at the direction in which Sa Lihe led his army to disappear, Peng Xuan summoned a few close followers and said: "Zhao Qian, you will inform the other generals left behind to go to X's residence in a while, and they will be ready at a certain time. Treat them to a banquet. Jiang Yong, take our troops to keep an eye on those people left by Jin Wushu. When the Song army takes over Shiling Pass, we must not let them cause trouble. Lin Qiang, take your men to control the gate. , wait for someone’s order before opening the door.”

Everyone clasped their fists and said, "Yes, boss."

Peng Xuan quickly set up a banquet in his residence, and the generals who had been notified arrived one after another. After everyone gathered, the banquet started. After changing cups and cups during the banquet, Peng Xuan ordered his men to control the generals. After everything went well, Peng Xuancai ordered Lin Qiang to open the door and send Zhao Qian to find the Song army.

After Yue Yun and his cavalry arrived at Shiling Pass, they did not go far and stationed nearby. Therefore, the news of Peng Xuan sending people out of the pass was not hidden from the Song army. Zhao Qian was stopped by the Song army shortly after he left the pass. Come down.

Seeing that it was a soldier of the Song Army, Zhao Qian hurriedly said: "This person is sent by the guard general of Shiling Pass. He has something important to do with your general. Please take him to see your general quickly."

Several Song soldiers did not move. Zhao Qian looked at the situation and realized that these people did not believe him, so he said helplessly: "Do you have any ropes? How about tying me up to see your general?"

After hearing this, several soldiers of the Song Army tied Zhao Qian with ropes to see Yue Yun. When they met Yue Yun, Zhao Qian hurriedly said: "General, this is a spy sent by the prince to the Kingdom of Jin in the early years. Now our boss is General Shiling Pass, the Jin army has all withdrawn to the north, we plan to donate Shiling Pass, and we also ask the general to send troops to receive it as soon as possible."

Yue Yun looked at Zhao Qian with some suspicion after hearing this. He didn't know whether what Zhao Qian said was true or false, but he still knew about Li Xin sending spies to the Kingdom of Jin, but he had never met these people. It's impossible to tell whether Zhao Qian's identity is true or false. If it's true, it's easy to say, but if it's false, wouldn't it be a big loss if I listened to him?

Looking at Yue Yun's doubtful look, Zhao Qian knew that Yue Yun might not believe what he said, so he added: "If the general doesn't believe it, you can take someone to see Commander Qu Duanqu. He has seen someone. If the general Don’t worry, just tie me up and go see General Qu.”

Yue Yun's expression became somewhat relieved and he said: "We are just the vanguard. Qu Shuai's army is still on its way from behind. It will probably take some time to get here."

Zhao Qian said: "I know that the general may not believe us. The general can first send a few hundred people to take over the gate. Although all the troops in the gate are currently controlled by our boss, after all, half of them are left by Jin Wushu. As time goes by, there is no guarantee that nothing will happen. The general will send someone to take over the gate, and we will be able to free up more power to look after these people. There are also horses in the gate that need to be looked after. The general can also send people to look after the horses for us. "

Hearing that there were five thousand war horses in Shiling Pass, Yue Yun's eyes lit up. This could be done. Although Zhao Qian's identity had not been confirmed yet, Yue Yun was already convinced. After thinking about it, Yue Yun said: "Okay, I'll send people to follow you into the customs first to close the gate."

Zhao Qian nodded and said: "Okay, general, let's choose people now, I will take them there."

Yue Yun quickly sent out people to follow Zhao Qian back to Shiling Pass, and successfully took over the closing of Shiling Pass. However, Yue Yun still did not dare to lead a large force into the pass. Although he had controlled the closing, he still Some are worried about being ambushed in the pass.

After waiting for another half an hour, Wang Yan led his army to the Shiling Pass. However, after listening to Yue Yun's words, Wang Yan did not enter the Pass. He just stationed at the Pass. At the time of Kuai Zi, Qu Duan Only then did he arrive belatedly with his army.

Yue Yun reported the situation to Qu Duan, and Qu Duan only confirmed his identity after meeting Zhao Qian. The misunderstanding was finally resolved. Qu Duan immediately sent Yue Yun to station at the pass, while the army was still stationed outside the pass. This is not because Qu Duan is worried about an ambush, but because Shiling Pass cannot hold a hundred thousand troops, and Qu Duan's army can only be stationed outside the city.

After Peng Xuan learned that Qu Duan had arrived, he came out to see Qu Duan in person: "General Qu, you have had a hard journey. I am Peng Xuan, the leader of this secret spy team."

Qu Duan held Peng Xuan's hand and said: "Haha, General Peng worked hard. Without General Peng, how could our army have taken Shiling Pass so easily? If we really fought against the terrain of Shiling Pass, we would have to fight at least half of it." It can only be taken in Yue, and by then Jin Wushu will have already fled to Datong with his army. General Peng has made great achievements this time."

Peng Xuan sighed: "This is what we should do, but after this time we will not be able to go back there again."

Qu Duan understood what Peng Xuan meant and said: "Well, your identities will be exposed after this incident, but it's a blessing in disguise. You can have a good rest after this incident. After all, you have been secret agents for more than twenty years." , after hard work, it’s time to rest.”

Peng Xuan nodded and said: "Well, General Qu, what are you going to do next? Jin Wushu's withdrawal this time. We judge that something happened to Feihu and Huailai. Maybe the prince has sent troops to attack these two places. This made Jin Wushu withdraw. Wushu is so anxious to withdraw his troops. After all, if these two places are breached, then Jin Wushu’s retreat will be in danger. This is just because we have no basis for our judgment at the moment.”

Qu Duan said thoughtfully: "Well, your judgment makes sense. It's already midnight now. We will continue to pursue the Jin army at dawn tomorrow. Jin Wushu has a lot of infantry under his command. He can't run very fast."

Peng Xuan said: "The five thousand war horses will be handed over to Qu Shuai."

Qu Duan smiled and said: "Haha, you are really awesome. Before leaving, you blackmailed Jin Wushu's five thousand horses. If Jin Wushu knew about this, his expression might be wonderful."

Peng Xuan sneered: "He wants someone to die, so he has to leave some chips."

Qu Duan nodded and said: "Well, General Peng's five thousand horses have solved my urgent need. With these five thousand horses, my cavalry can expand in size, and I will be more confident in pursuing Jin Wushu from behind. General Peng’s great achievements will be explained to the prince himself.”

Peng Xuan cupped his fists and said, "Then I'll thank Qu Shuai first."
