My country, you can pinch it

When the Shang family was ready to leave, Shang Xiyun finally appeared at Shamen Pass.

On the second day, traces of the Xiongnu were found outside the Shamen Pass. Chen Du led a battalion of [-] sharp soldiers into the grassland, and then disappeared.

Two days after losing contact, Qi Feng realized that something was wrong, and was about to send soldiers to look for Jianfengying, when the news came that the road was blocked by heavy snow and Jianfengying asked for reinforcements.

Qi Feng regarded the Jianfeng camp as a thorn in his side and couldn't close it, so he tried his best to destroy it, so all these years, those who rushed to the front line against the Xiongnu would always be the Jianfeng camp, and Chen Du's life was difficult.

Fortunately, Chen Du was cunning and never devoted himself. Of course the Huns were also afraid of them. If they hadn't made up their minds to go south with all their strength, they would have been just testing each other.

This made Qi Feng very helpless. Now that he had finally heard the news that Jianfengying was besieged, his first thought was to let him perish on his own. He used Xue's catastrophe as an excuse for not sending troops for a long time, so he missed capturing him in vain. Chance to come back!

Rumbling horseshoes stepped on snowflakes, and three thousand black armored cavalry in uniform circled the snow-capped mountains, shaking the distant mountains and avalanche down.

The cavalry looked back, and under the spectacle, they couldn't help blowing their whistles.

"General, do you think that idiot Qi Feng thought we were all buried and didn't even bother to look for us?" The deputy general followed Chen Du, jokingly asked.

Chen Du glanced at him, "He's stupid, but it's not that he doesn't have a brain. If none of us went back within three days, he will know what's going on."

"Three days? We have closed the official road from Yuhua, and he can't even touch the horse hair!"

"Yes, when the crown prince ascends the throne, let's give that old boy some color later!"

The snow in the north was too cold, and the five-day and five-night journey was too much for even the Jianfeng camp. If we didn't talk about enlivening the atmosphere for a while, we would be too exhausted.

Suddenly, as soon as the endless white mountains passed by, the city gates in the distance appeared in front of us.

"General, Yuhua is here!"

Chen Du couldn't help flicking his whip more vigorously, "Keep up, go to Yuhuaguan to repair, and then set off!"

Immediately, the three thousand soldiers were refreshed.

The road from Shamenguan to Yuhuaguan is connected. The disappearing Jianfeng camp detours all the way to Yuhuaguan, enters the official road through Yongliang, and then goes to Beijing, so that no one knows it.

The checkpoint was getting closer and closer, and suddenly Chen Du's eyes lit up. Seeing the two men and two horses before Yuhua closed the door, he suddenly shouted angrily: "Qingqing—Yangyang—"

Shang Chuqing waited outside Yuhua Pass with her daughter, watching the black armored cavalry galloping in the distance, she couldn't help smiling.

Shang Chuqing prepared half a month's worth of dry food for the three thousand Jianfeng Battalion in Yuhua Pass, and the logistics fed the horses in order to recover as quickly as possible.

Yang Yang gave Chen Du a jug of spirits, and the latter patted his daughter on the shoulder, "Why are you here?"

Yangyang is already a half-grown girl, with strong make-up wrapped in a cloak, and her immature face has begun to show her heroism, and she can tell that she will be a hero in the future. Looking at her father, she couldn't help saying: "I really want to be with you!" Dad will go together."

Chen Du stroked his daughter's head, and said with a smile: "What's the point of being with dad, the capital is full of wine bags and rice bags, your dad and I can beat ten of them, and following your mother, this is the real skill."

Shang Chuqing had to stay and stop Qi Feng's army, and the danger was far more dangerous than if they didn't try.

"Yangyang, promise father, protect your mother and great-grandfather, this is the first achievement!"

"Yangyang knows." The little girl was very reluctant, she took out a bracelet from her bosom, lifted Chen Du's glove into his wrist, "Then you come back early, my mother and I will wait for you."

"it is good."

"It's a deal." Yang Yang raised his little finger, "A lie is a puppy."

"It's a deal." Chen Du held his daughter with his twice-bigger fingers, and pressed a handprint with his two thumbs.

The battle was urgent. After Shang Chuqing made arrangements, she walked towards Chen Du and said, "It's time to go."

Chen Du stood up from the ground, patted the snow on his buttocks, looked at his wife, and suddenly hooked his fingers, "Qingqing."

"Ok?"

"come here."

"Do what?"

"Help me to walk, sit for too long, my feet seem to be numb from the cold."

Hearing this, Shang Chuqing looked at him suspiciously. The latter's face was comparable to that of Liu Ke, and there was no clue.

It's just that Chen Du is a rough man, and it's not the first time he marched in such a heavy snow day, how can he be so delicate?But Shang Chuqing still walked over, and was about to hold his arm, when the latter suddenly put his arms around her waist, pulled her to her chest, and kissed her hard, "Wait for me to come back!"

"Yo!"

The whistle sounded immediately, and Yang Yang gave his father a foolish smirk.

This old couple still pretends to be like this, which really makes Shang Chuqing speechless, but as the elder sister, she can deter several wolf-like younger sisters, Shang Chuqing will not be a shy character, she will let go and prepare to go Chen Du pulled him back and said with a sneer, "Don't you dare to come back and try?" After speaking, he kissed him directly.

After a moment of silence, screams and shouts resounded throughout Yuhua Pass in an instant, and a group of sharp-point battalion soldiers howled like animals.

Yang Yang's eyes were shining, and she raised her thumbs up to her father, and clapped her hands and cheered.

The shouts were loud that day, and when Chen Du rode his horse away, he was still rubbing his mouth to recollect the memory. The lieutenant next to him said strangely, "General, is it true that your whole body is full of strength, even if you kill a hundred Huns?" down?"

"General Qing really deserves to be a general of the Chinese army. You, a vanguard officer, deserve to obey the command!"

"Get lost!" Chen Du spat behind him, but he couldn't help laughing, he touched the beads on his wrist, his blood boiled, and he shouted, "Hurry up, go to Beijing early and return early! Who the hell dares to drag his legs, I will bury him!"

"Yes!"

Three thousand horseshoes raised dust and snow, all the way south, pointing straight into the city!

February has passed, and Chun Fei has arrived.

At the beginning of March, the spring rain continued, and the weather became colder.

However, the capital is calm and calm, as if it is waiting for a thunderstorm to blow up all the demons and monsters that are dormant underneath.

It was only a month and a half since he had left to summon King Duan to return to the capital. Counting the time, King Duan also got the imperial edict and set off to return, but for some reason, the undercurrent in the capital had already begun.

As soon as Zhu Yuanfeng was sent away by the Commander of the Five Cities Army and Horse Division, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince arrived in person later on, one head and two big in an instant.

The Imperial City is guarded by the Imperial Army, the Imperial City is safe and secure as the five-city soldiers and horses, Dashun has no nine admirals, and the five-city soldiers and horses guard the four city gates. What they usually do is to patrol the gates, check the roads, and help Dali Temple in Jingzhao Prefecture arrested a fugitive criminal.

It stands to reason that both the crown prince and the emperor are in the capital, and even the palace change has nothing to do with his troops and horses in the five cities. After all, there is a Marquis of Si Ting who is in charge of the imperial army in front of him.

However, today's situation gave the commander a headache.

"My lord." The deputy commander looked at the Shangfeng room pacing back and forth, frowning, and couldn't help asking, "What did His Royal Highness say?"

"Let me guard the city gate."

The deputy commander was puzzled and said, "Why does this sound like the one in the palace?"

"It's not the same." The commander said, "Eunuch Zhu means that he was ordered to guard the city gate, and if he opened it without authorization, he will be punished with death."

"What about His Royal Highness?"

"His Royal Highness... I was ordered to open the gate of the city. I disobeyed the holy order and was punished with death."

"Hiss..." The deputy commander was confused, "Isn't this... talking about the same thing? They are all ordered by the emperor, so it is the order of the prince?"

The commander looked in the direction of the city gate and swallowed, "It's true, but have you ever thought about why the good people open the city gate and guard the city gate?"

The deputy commander thought for a while, then looked at Zheng Shi in horror and said, "Where did all these troops come from?"

"Father and son have conflicts, and at worst they beat each other, but what about the father and son today? Don't stop without bloodshed." The commander sighed deeply.

"Then what should we do, my lord?"

The little people are caught in it, and the left and right are not people.

"What should I do? Don't talk about it all, I will obey the imperial edict!" The commander sneered, "What do I care about so much? I just keep my eyes on the edict. From today on, let the brothers guard the city gate. Who has the edict?" Whoever enters, I don't believe that this can still punish me!"

The thing that King Duan hated the most in his life was that, as the real eldest son, he missed the position of crown prince again and again, and had no fate.

It would be fine if he lost to his old opponent, but he won't be reconciled to the fact that Liu Ke's little bastard fisherman benefited from his fight with King Jing.

Being demoted from the capital, he was disheartened, but before leaving the capital, he was refreshed by the emperor's reassurance and expectations. So what if the little bastard became a prince, it's not that he has lost his heart, and he will eventually make a wedding dress for him.

King Duan waited in the fief until the emperor's scandal was revealed 29 years ago. He didn't feel ashamed and humiliated, but excited because he knew that the opportunity had come.

Sure enough, not long after, Emperor Shun's secret edict came, together with the tiger talisman, fell into his hands. Although there were only [-] soldiers, it was enough to make him excited. This was the emperor's trust.

King Duan assembled as quickly as possible and set off for the capital. He knew very well that once he stepped into the capital this time, the supreme status would never escape his grasp. , only him, the only choice!

At the age of sixty, he put on armor, abandoned the comfortable carriage, with a sense of complacency in his chest, and braved the spring rain and thunder all the way east.

Finally, the majestic gate of the capital in the distance faintly appeared in front of my eyes.

"Your Highness, it looks like there are still two days to go. It's getting late. There will be a heavy rain in the evening. Why don't you set up camp in Anzhai and take a rest?" the general suggested to King Duan who was looking at the capital.

Although Duan Wang is eager to return home, he also knows that traveling all the way is exhausting, and if he catches up with the heavy rain, it may cause chaos and delay time.

"Okay, thank you General."

King Duan looked at the city gate again, and then entered the big tent under the service of his servants.

In fact, there was plenty of time, Emperor Shun was caught off guard in order to beat the crown prince, and King Xuan Duan's intention to return to the capital had only just arrived in the fief, and no one would have thought that King Duan had already led his army to approach the capital in secret.

On a cold rainy night, King Duan suddenly became interested. After drinking a little wine, he thought of his embarrassment when he was forced to leave Beijing by that stinky boy a year ago, and then imagined the surprise when his brothers met suddenly two days later, and how Liu Ke was treated by him. Disarmed for the crime of treason, he looked dispirited and dispirited, and he couldn't help but feel a sense of joy in his heart.

The shame is right in front of your eyes.

"God still takes care of me."

With the hot wine in his throat, he was slightly drunk, and he shouted loudly: "Come on, send an order, and leave immediately at dawn tomorrow!"

On a rainy night, it was dark all around, and even the torches could barely light the faint light in the tent, but in this wilderness less than two days away from the imperial city, it became the only guiding direction.

Everything else is lacking outside of Shamenguan, but the bad weather is always enough, ice and snow, sandstorms, nothing I have seen in Jianfengying, just heavy rain.Moreover, the sound of the heavy rain also covered the sound of horseshoes for the cavalry, and they drove close to the camp in a short while, which was never easier.

When the camp felt the ground tremor and found something was wrong, the sharp point camp was less than a mile away. At this time, it was too late for emergency guards. In the blink of an eye, the sprinting black armored soldiers who almost merged with the night had already arrived in front of them, and then Like a sharp spear tearing apart the hastily built flimsy formation.

After fighting for so many years, they know best the principle of capturing the king first, and these troops who have not been baptized in war, when facing a night attack, their subconscious reaction is to protect the most important people in the Chinese army.

"Protect Your Highness—"

So wherever the soldiers gathered, King Duan was there, like a target.

At one moment, King Duan was still fantasizing about himself wearing the prince's python robe, but at the next moment, the heavy horse's hooves, hideous horse face, and the terrifying man sitting on it, like a Shura, smashed through the layers of protection in front of him!

For a moment, King Duan thought that these flesh and blood bodies were made of paper, and then in his terrified eyes, the cold spear shot down...and finally stopped on his neck, "Put down the weapon, or I will kill him." The man looked back at the surrounding soldiers coldly, like a ghost.

Sweat dripped down together with the rain, Duan Wang had no doubt that this man would kill him, he wanted to speak, but he didn't know whether it was because he was scared by being too close to death, or because his throat was held down by the knife, in short, ho ho In the sound, he could only look at his generals with a look of pleading for help.

"Bold thief, dare to kidnap Prince Fengzhao?"

Only at this time did the surrounding generals react, and one of them questioned loudly.

As soon as the deputy general heard this, he said to Chen Du: "General, there is only one prince who was ordered to return, and that is Prince Duan. We did not arrest the wrong person."

As soon as the words came out, Duan Wang's pupils shrank suddenly, and it was really aimed at him.

General, which soldier is being restrained?

Where did Liu Ke transfer from? King Duan has never seen such a chilling and cold army?

"Let go of His Royal Highness Chuan Wang!"

"Aren't you afraid of the great crime of killing the Nine Clans?"

Rao shouted louder than the other, but after all, no one dared to take a step forward.

Chen Du saw this kind of scene a lot, he was short of time, so he didn't bother to talk nonsense, and said directly: "I'll count to three, how many people have weapons in their hands, I will stab him a few times, and if I can't survive, I will stab the corpse. ..."

The surroundings suddenly showed horror. They had never seen such a threat that they didn't even give time to think. They could hardly hold the swords and guns in their hands, and shouted quickly: "Wait..."

"two……"

Duan Wang, whose throat was pressed tightly by the blade, almost screamed, "Let it go, let it go! Let it go! Let it go—"

"three……"

Chen Du's eyes sharpened, and he heard the sound of clanging weapons falling to the ground. The generals at all levels were completely blank, and frantically asked their soldiers to do the same.

In the rain, the corner of his mouth twitched, "Very good." Then he picked up Duan Wang like a chicken, and reached out to dig in his arms. He almost took out Duan Wang's belly pocket, but he couldn't find anything. , "Hey, what about the imperial edict?"

The corner of the deputy general's mouth twitched, "General, not everyone is as careless as you, and puts everything in their arms."

"It's true." Chen Du turned his eyes, saw the eunuch next to King Duan, and raised his chin.

The soldiers around him immediately approached fiercely, and after a while the eunuch came out tremblingly holding a box, the deputy general opened it and said, "General, the edict and the tiger talisman are here."

"Very good." Satisfied, Chen Du threw King Duan onto the lieutenant's horse, raised the chopping knife, and got on the horse, "Tie his soldiers and take them away. Now, let's go in." Beijing."

After kidnapping King Duan halfway, Chen Du didn't intend to breathe a sigh of relief. It was a long night and dreamy, and someone sent the news back in advance. He planned to gallop into Beijing overnight.

The speed of Jianfengying was unmatched by anyone, and he had to be left behind even if he sent a report. As long as he entered the city, everything would be a foregone conclusion.
