Chapter 252 Tianming Temple (continued)(1/2)
Under the night, there were a large number of fires flashing at the foot of Gaolan Mountain at the northern foot of the mountain, mixed with shouts, disturbing the originally peaceful night.
In the light and dark gear, many people were restless by the sudden movement, and ran out of the tent and looked around.
The constant thunder sounded made them realize that an uninvited guest attacked the headquarters.
The goal must be the emperor.
The troops of the Imperial Camp of the guards were fighting against uninvited guests. The thunderstorms were actually explosions, which made movements when some weapons were exerted.
The Imperial Camp has strong combat capabilities. All the soldiers are brave and good at fighting, and are equipped with new weapons. When they set up camp, they have already laid various obstacles and fortifications on the periphery, so it is unlikely that they will be attacked by uninvited guests.
But the problem is that the emperor is not in the headquarters.
Many people subconsciously looked toward the direction of the south side of the mountain: the emperor lived in Tianming Temple halfway up the mountain.
There was still dark and dark, and it seemed that the movements and still the sounds at the foot of the mountain were still in a sleep.
What's going on?
Countless pairs of eyes looked at the hillside, one of which belonged to Ashina'anluo.
At this moment, he took advantage of the chaos around him and ran away with his entourage, trying to run out and meet with the others.
The Turkic mission stayed at the camp, on the edge of the headquarters, not in the "defense circle" of the imperial guards, so he would not have any problems with the cover of the night.
But while rushing, I subconsciously looked at Tianming Temple on the hillside, feeling quite happy:
I also had a headache about how to attack the imperial camp after the troops came, but you ran to the mountain to live. This is really God's will!!!
After the emperor of Chu came to Jincheng, he did not live in the city, but stayed in Tianming Temple in the suburbs. This move disrupted Anluo's plan.
But this sudden change makes things easier:
As long as our side progresses well, some people will first drag the main force of the imperial camp at the foot of the mountain, and the other people will succeed in the raid on Tianming Temple, then...
Thinking of this, Anluo couldn't help but clench his fists.
He came to the Central Plains in person to command a "surprise attack" on the spot.
As long as the surprise attack kills Chu Emperor Li Li, Chu is very likely to fall into civil strife. Then the Khanate will have a chance to regain his momentum and he will be able to avenge his father's revenge.
The thunder that came into his ears pulled Anluo's thoughts back. He looked at the flashing fires around him and the thunder sounds, realizing that it was just the beginning.
Whether things will succeed depends on the next step and your luck.
However, since the noise is so big now, it means that his luck is really good: the soldiers who used the Haixi region to detour into Longyou have arrived here smoothly.
A long horse-rejected horse appeared in front of him. Anluo led his men to pass by one side of the horse-rejected horse to block his voice and avoid being discovered by the Chu soldiers who were moving away from the other side.
This long horse-repelling horse, like a long wall, blocked the sight on both sides. This barrier reminded Anluo of the "Qilian Mountains" that the Central Plains called.
The Qilian Mountains are northwest-southeast, and the east side of the foothill is the Hexi region known as the Central Plains, and the west side of the foothill is Tuyuhun's territory - the Haixi region.
The so-called "sea" in "Haixi" refers to the large saltwater lake of "Western Sea".
The Turkic cavalry wanted to attack the Longyou area of the Central Plains and kill the emperor who had been on patrol here. Normally, they had to go to the Hexi area.
But in this way, the whereabouts will be exposed quickly: starting from Guazhou, there were a large number of beacon towers along the way, quickly spreading the movements of the Turkic cavalry to Longyou.
Anluo thought carefully and designed a secret marching route for his revenge army:
The cavalry crossed the Qilian Mountains through the Khanate's vassal state, Khotan, and entered the Haixi region, and crossed the Tuyuhun territory from west to east.
Then he suddenly rushed out of the Huangshui Valley and rushed directly into the Longyou area (south side). As long as he seized the opportunity, he would successfully attack.
By using Tuyuhun, news might be leaked, but Tuyuhun did not surrender to Chu State and had no contact with Zhou State before, so the Central Plains court "can't see clearly" the Haixi region of Tuyuhun.
Moreover, when Tuyuhun tribes learned that the Emperor of Chu had arrived in Lanzhou, they were so scared that they fled westward. Even if they encountered Turkic soldiers and horses running long distances, they would not be able to fight, and they would not be able to inform Chu.
This is Anluo's plan, using surprise troops to attack the Emperor of Chu who was patrolling Longyou.
Now, this surprise attack has been launched, and the most difficult step in the entire plan has been achieved.
He listened to the movement outside and the crowds in the pedestal. He looked at the Tianming Temple, which was still shrouded in the darkness on the hillside, and grinned:
Where do you think Longyou is? How many people want to kill you, but you come to die by yourself!
......
On Gaolan Mountain, the dead soldiers climbed up from the steep walls of the southern foot were lurking in the grass, staring at the dark woods in front of them.
The movement at the foot of the northern mountain floated into their ears with the night wind.
The flashing fire at the foot of the mountain brightened their pupils.
Although there were mosquitoes everywhere, making them itchy, no one said anything and squatted in the grass silently.
This is the top of the mountain (one of the peaks), and the Tianming Temple where the Emperor of Chu was staying was at their feet (half the mountain). Although according to the inside, there were not many sentries in this area, but on the contrary, be cautious, don’t make too much noise.
Only Wu Qiu, who was the leader, learned from time to time to send signals to the respondents.
After a while, a bird's chirping sounded in front of him. The two birds "sing duet" for a while, and suddenly became quiet.
Soon, a monk was brought over. Wu Qiu looked closely and found that he was indeed an Inner Response: a monk from Tianming Temple, whose name was "Legal".
Commonly known as "Han Bing".
Han Bing and him had a life-and-death relationship. Later, due to family changes, he shaved his head and became a monk at Tianming Temple.
But it was actually the Turkic eyeliner, of course, he only found out later.
"What's the situation?" Wu Qiu asked in a low voice, and Fajian (Han Bing) shook his head: "When I came out, there was a pool of stagnant water in the temple, and I don't know now."
"Was it because of the people running away?" Wu Qiu was a little nervous. He risked his life and took the heroes to climb the steep wall from the southern foot of Gaolan Mountain. Many people rolled down the middle, so they couldn't go there in vain.
"Impossible, the man surnamed Li has many family members, and he doesn't light the lights or turrets, how can he go?" After Fajian said that, he looked at the Buddhist temple that was still dark (relatively speaking) on the hillside, and waved his hand:
"Come with me, you can't delay."
Wu Qiu immediately greeted him and followed the legal authority to touch the woods.
Behind Tianming Temple, there is an authentic tunnel that leads to the top of the mountain. This tunnel was transformed with the help of gullies on the mountain (covered and covered with soil), which is an important purpose to escape at all times.
Of course, this authenticity is a secret, only a few people know it, and the statutory is one of them.
After a while, the group came to a stone wall in the woods, moved away the cover, entered a cave, and then entered the tunnel.
In order to avoid accidents, only three torches were lit: one at the end of the team and one at the middle of the team.
Because the tunnel was not wide, Wu Qiu and his men lined up in a long line and walked slowly.
Wu Qiu walked in front of the team, looking at the black holes in front of him, thinking about whether he could succeed in a while.
It should be possible that such a big movement at the foot of the mountain means that the Turkic cavalry really crossed the sea, rushed out of the Huangshui Valley, rushed here, and fought with the Chu Imperial Camp.
The Turkic plan was more than half successful.
But can the Turkic cavalry break through the imperial camp? Not necessarily.
Because the Chu army was equipped with "firearms", among them were "Ma Qinghou".
Wu Qiu understood that the flesh and blood body was vulnerable to the "Ma Qinghou", so if he wanted to kill the Emperor of Chu, he and his men had a greater chance of defeating him.
Therefore, the legal act as the eyeliner of the Turks in Longyou and Wu Qiu's "old acquaintance" made a connection and led to a "cooperation".
But no one expected that after the Emperor of Chu came to Jincheng, he would stay in Tianming Temple. Wu Qiu felt that if he missed such an opportunity, he would be sorry for his brothers who died outside Chang'an City.
As he thought about it, Wu Qiu's breathing was a little rapid.
He was from Jincheng, with a lot of land and many corpses and patrons, so he was a local big family and became the target of the Chang'an court.
As a result, Wu Qiu became the "general general" of the government soldiers, in charge of hundreds of soldiers.
Last year, during the Battle of Chang'an, many of his fellow villagers and subordinates died tragically under the firearms of the Chu army.
Wu Qiu will never forget the terrifying scene when flesh and blood were flying on the battlefield.
Many people have been scared by the Chu army's firearms, so they have to be obedient, but they want to take revenge.
Therefore, when the official army surrendered in an established manner, he left Chang'an, ran back to Jincheng, summoned his partners, and waited for the opportunity.
Wu Qiu judged that the emperor of Chu was likely to come to Longyou to inspect and win people's hearts. At that time, it would be his opportunity, and there were not many people in the Longyou area who were dissatisfied with Chu.
Because according to the previous practice of Chu, sooner or later, they will be inspected in Longyou, including the local area, the registration and temple. This is the foundation of everyone. How can we sit and wait for death?
However, it is difficult to break through the imperial guards and assassinate the emperor by relying solely on the power of the local heroes.
After all, even the official army (Zhou army) cannot defeat the Chu army, and the powerful troops are even more unlikely to defeat the other side.
Fortunately, there is legal help.
"Old Han, Anluo will not go back on his word, right?" Wu Qiu asked, and the statutory government did not turn back. He said while walking: "If you don't go back on your word, they can't stay in Longyou for too long. So, as long as the surname Li dies, your chance will come."
"No, I'm asking you, what promise Anluo made to you, what if he breaks his promise?"
"The position of 'Tutun' is not an important position that only Ashina can hold. Don't worry, I am very stable here and no longer need to pretend to be a monk. It is also a pleasure." As the steward said, narrowing his eyes.
After all the calculations, no one expected that after the Emperor of Chu arrived in Jincheng, he would actually live in Tianming Temple. This was God's will that made him rich.
After killing Li Li, he followed Ashina'anluo to the Western Regions, where he was a "Tutun" in a small country, becoming the supreme king of the small country, and living leisurely.
The Turkic Khanate controlled the countries in the Western Regions and set up the "Tutun" position in various countries. This is equivalent to the existence of the king. He was a Tutu in the Western Regions and lived a happy life. The Central Plains was in a state of uproar, and it had nothing to do with him.
As for Wu Qiu, as long as no evidence of the assassination of Emperor Chu was found, he could continue to stay in Longyou. Once the Guanlong area was in chaos, he might even take advantage of the situation...
