Abandoning concubines and raising children to seize the throne

Tonggu Pass.

A late night surprise attack and a great victory.

The Northern Marquis and others were immediately elated and ordered the slaughter of the sheep to celebrate.

At the wine table, a general pinched his chin and said: "Although this stuff is powerful, the quantity is not large. There are only fifty packs in total. We used more than twenty packs yesterday. We also asked the Marquis to write a letter to the emperor. Send more people to bring more, so that everything will be safe."

The Northern Marquis picked up the wine glass, took a sip and said: "Since we only sent so much, it proves that this thing is extremely precious. If you can get more, the emperor will definitely not be stingy. Now the emperor must be annoyed by the urgent letter." , it’s better not to get into trouble with him.”

When everyone thought about it, they all felt that this was also the case.

Ever since the emperor ascended the throne and Yin Zhong was exiled, Jiang Wu has been acting unscrupulously. The emperor has been suffering from Jiang Wu for a long time. He must want to win this battle more than anyone else. Now that he can give away such a thing, I am afraid that is all.

As everyone knows, this gunpowder is not used like this at all.

Yin Qingxuan's strategy is to first use gunpowder to confuse his mind, and then use military force to destroy him. If this method is used, fifty packets of gunpowder are enough for them to capture Jiangwu and regain the lost city.

Who would have thought that these two hundred and fifty would wait for work, and attack them all with gunpowder.

The Northern Marquis added: "There is not much gunpowder left now, so use it with caution."

Xu Liang and Zhang Tie, who practiced shield formation with Yin Qingxuan that day, are now partial generals and have the right to serve.

The two of them came here to protect their homeland and country, and wanted to make a good appearance in the army. However, these generals were too cowardly and couldn't stand a few beatings, so they had to stay in seclusion to defend the city.

After listening to the words of the Northern Marquis, Xu Liang couldn't help but said: "In fact, it may not be necessary to use gunpowder all the time. The emperor definitely hopes that we will use gunpowder as a supplement and military strength as the main force. His subordinates think that we should re-activate the giant shield formation."

A general with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks snorted and said: "The giant shield is heavy and heavy. It can only resist but not attack. It is useless."

Zhang Tie said: "There are spearmen hidden in the formation. It is an offensive and defensive formation. The general cannot completely deny the shield formation just because of one defeat."

The man spat and said: "What good can a thing developed by a eunuch be? It's just like those things that don't have control."

This person had long heard that this formation was researched by eunuchs, so he naturally dismissed it.

Xu Liang and Zhang Tie both looked a little ugly. They came earlier and didn't know that the little Xuanzi father-in-law who taught them had now become a concubine of Yao. However, they still felt very sorry for the little father-in-law who fed them and treated them as human beings. respect.

Xu Liang's face darkened and he said: "Since the emperor can recognize Eunuch Xiaoxuanzi, it means that this formation is usable. Why should General Liu be so demeaning?"

The man surnamed Liu glanced at him and said disdainfully: "I heard that you were a bandit before joining the army. This is like a fish looking for a fish and a shrimp looking for a shrimp, and a turtle looking for a bastard."

"you……"

Xu Liang stood up in anger, and Zhang Tie hurriedly reached out to hold him.

"Generals, don't be offended. This brother of mine must be too happy. He drank too much. My subordinates will help him out right now."

Zhang Tie put Xu Liang on his shoulders and forced him out.

The Marquis of the North knew Yin Qingxuan's identity, but he never revealed it.

At his age, he has already become a master, so he hopes that if the two gangs are at odds, he can take credit for it. The reason why Jiangwu has been unable to attack for a long time is precisely because of these generals who defended the city. He looked down upon Xu Liang and Zhang Tie at all.

On the surface, they respect themselves, but on the inside they reject him.

During these days, the Northern Marquis has been fighting on both sides, not wanting to offend anyone, just to wait for an opportunity, a good opportunity to get credit!

Thinking of this, he chuckled and said: "The generals don't have to be the same as the two young generals. They all come from humble backgrounds. Whatever military skills they know, let's do it for ourselves."

After getting these people drunk, Beifang Hou went to comfort Xu Liang and Zhang Tie.

"You have a low military position, so you must be patient. I will find a way to let them take the lead. When the time comes, you can launch a shield formation and strangle them from behind. You can get twice the result with half the effort."

The three of them all came from Kyoto, and they naturally had more trust in the Northern Marquis, so they clasped their fists and said, "Everything depends on the Marquis' orders."

After leaving the military tent, the Marquis of the North walked up to the tower.

It's foggy tonight, and there are shadows on the opposite side.

If there is another surprise attack, I don’t know what the effect will be.

It had been more than two months since he arrived, and his patience was running out. He just wanted to finish this battle quickly so that he could return to the capital to retire and spend time with his daughter.

If it fails this time, we really have to wait for the food and grass to run out and drink the northwest wind.

While I was thinking about it, I suddenly heard the sound of war drums ahead.

The defenders immediately woke up and shouted: "Prepare for war, prepare for war, there is an enemy attack!"

Several generals were suddenly called up and climbed up the city wall.

In the dark night, and with the fog easily forming in the mountains, it was difficult to see how many people were coming from the other side.

The general named Liu immediately shouted: "Quick, get the explosive pack."

Xu Liang said in a deep voice: "The enemy hasn't seen it clearly yet, so we can't waste this thing anymore."

Zhang Tie also said: "General Liu, don't be anxious, we can still use arrows to consume a wave."

The general named Liu had picked up an explosive bag, lit it with a fire stick, and threw it down.

There was a loud bang, and a wailing sound suddenly came from the distance.

The general surnamed Liu suddenly burst into laughter and said: "No matter how powerful they are, they can't be more powerful than gunpowder. First blow up these bastards and then send out troops to collect their heads."

Several generals did not dare to send troops rashly, and they all agreed with Liu's approach.

Xu Liang and Zhang Tieren spoke softly, but could not stop them at all. In the blink of an eye, there were only a dozen gunpowder packets left.

Xu Liang was in great pain and simply lay down on the gunpowder bag.

"Generals, please stop wasting yourself like this. If there is no gunpowder, we may not even be able to defend the city."

Zhang Tie also covered the basket containing the explosive bags and said anxiously: "Now that so many have been invested, it is time to send out troops. Only by capturing Jiang Wu's troops can morale be boosted."

It was almost time to see Hou Beifang, so he stepped forward to smooth things over again.

"What the two young generals said is not unreasonable. We can send out troops to kill him, which will definitely scare the enemy."

The Marquis of the North is also considered a frontier official, and what he says still carries some weight.

The man surnamed Liu reluctantly said: "Forget it, brag right away and attack!"

Everyone went down to the city to organize their troops, but Xu Liangren couldn't help but curse: "These dog officials, if the emperor grants me the seal of general, they will definitely have their heads chopped off."

"Damn, they're all a bunch of shit eaters."

Zhang Tie also spat, and then said: "Brother Xu is right, but you and I are soft-spoken, so it's better to be careful."

At the same time, on the hill opposite, a graceful woman wearing a fiery red cloak was standing on a high place looking over here. When she heard the horns blowing, she couldn't help but raise the corners of her bright red lips.

These wine sacks and rice sacks are only worthy of drinking her foot-washing water.

She raised two fingers, and the maid behind her immediately raised her order flag.

The shouts of death started from behind.

When the troops left the city, they discovered that they had been tricked. The enemy soldiers who came to the city were all scarecrows!
