A Qin Sang foot, flies the treetop, welcomed. 秦桑一点脚,飞上树梢,迎了下去。 „old did Zhou, have an accident?” “老周,出什么事了？” „General Qin!” “秦将军！” The water monkey sees Qin Sang, the complexion one happily, said loudly: „humble general just obtained the Flying Pigeon to pass on the book, the provincial commander has the command, making General Qin lead the person to withdraw from Fururyouzan immediately, by a set time three days, returned to Dazhai.” 水猴子看到秦桑,面色一喜,大声道:“末将刚得到飞鸽传书,提督有令,让秦将军立刻带人撤离古灵山,限期三天,返回大寨。” A Qin Sang hears word brow wrinkle, „what reason? Is makes me go back, requests everyone to evacuate?” 秦桑闻言眉头一皱,“什么原因？是让我自己回去,还是要求所有人撤离？” Water monkey several jump, puts out an oil used paper is wrapping the letter/believes from the bosom, „in letter/believes said, making the general lead everyone to remove, has not talked about what reason.” 水猴子几个纵身过来,从怀里拿出一封用油纸包着的信,“信上说,让将军带着所有人撤回去,没说什么原因。” Qin Sang received the letter/believes, carefully looked, is really orders him within two days to bring to scout to withdraw from Fururyouzan, expressed is severer than the tone of water monkey. 秦桑接过信,仔细看了一遍,果然是命令他两天之内带着所有斥候撤出古灵山,措辞比水猴子的语气严厉多了。 Pinched the correspondence, Qin Sang was looking at four sides the barren hill, at heart full was the doubts. 捏着书信,秦桑看了看四面荒山,心里满是疑惑。 Now Dongyang King already takes Xitai State, various group of army simultaneous/uniform Dong, dash to the imperial capital three counties, the Xuanwei camp enters turns over to the Ze county already two months, and wins the number city, now the goal is the raven mouth. 现在东阳王已经拿下西台郡,各路大军齐动,直扑帝都三郡,宣威营进入归泽郡已经两个月,并且连克数城,现在目标是渡鸦口。 The raven mouth is actually a big city, is a ferry spot in Lingshui River, afterward developed gradually. 渡鸦口其实是一座不小的城池,原是凌水河的一个渡口,后来渐渐发展起来。 The Lingshui River turns over to a Ze county biggest river, from northwest to southeast, slantingly across the entire county, although was inferior that witch Lingjiang is broad, passes through the class/flow to be restless year to year, is never dry, the good military transport grain borrows the strength of Lingshui River. 凌水河是归泽郡最大的一条河,从西北到东南,斜穿过整个郡,虽然不如巫陵江宽阔,也常年经流不息,从未干涸,行军运粮都借凌水河之力。 Because the ferry spot is convenient, now the garrison troops biggest granary places the raven mouth. 因渡口便利,如今守军最大的粮仓就放在渡鸦口。 Takes the raven mouth, interrupts the Lingshui River, the Lingshui River downstream seven cities then became the this solitary one city, is equivalent shuts off the life, except for the surrender, has no other alternative. 拿下渡鸦口,截断凌水河,凌水河下游七城便成了孤城,相当于被切断命脉,除了投降,别无他法。 Originally the Xuanwei camp not possible to begin to the raven mouth now, because the raven mouth south is away from a giant mountain range, named Fururyouzan. 本来宣威营现在不可能对渡鸦口动手,因为渡鸦口之南隔着一条巨大的山脉,名叫古灵山。 To dig the raven mouth, must surmount Fururyouzan. 想打渡鸦口,必须翻越古灵山。 The Fururyouzan appearance of the mountain is precipitous, jungle cover, desolate and uninhabited, the legend bird cannot fly. 古灵山山势险峻,丛林茂密,渺无人烟,传说鸟儿都飞不过去。 Except for the hunting household who walking into the mountain to go hunting, the average person goes, decides will lose the direction, dies unable to walk, idle talk army. 除了进山打猎的猎户,普通人进去,定会迷失方向,死也走不出来,更遑论大军了。 According to the original plan, they want the east-bound several hundred li (0.5 km), since ancient spirit pass/test Rao curved, then from Lingshui River downstream seven cities, a city hits. 按照原定的计划,他们要东进数百里,从古灵关绕一个弯儿,然后从凌水河下游七城,一个城池一个城池的打过去。 At this time ancient Lingguan the already exhibition, is ready in full battle array with large army, hits, not only costs the time, the casualties inevitably are also serious. 此时古灵关已经陈列重兵、严阵以待,这么打不仅耗费时间,伤亡也必然惨重。 Couple days ago, when the Xuanwei camp took over the small city before Fururyouzan, Qin Sang once made old person there of hunting household to inquire that in Fururyouzan from one a news, when Fururyouzan once the ancient road, the local legend was previous dynasty founding emperor marched excavated, afterward left uncultivated, dated back nearly millenniums, rarely known. 前几天,宣威营攻下古灵山前的小城时,秦桑从一个曾在古灵山做猎户的老人那里打听到一个消息,古灵山中曾有一条古道,当地传说是前朝开国皇帝行军时开凿的,后来荒废,距今已有近千年,鲜为人知。 Qin Sang information reporting of ancient road, then following orders brings to scout Fururyouzan to inquire, this just came, scouting dispersing, must be said. 秦桑将古道的情报上报,然后奉命带着斥候进古灵山打探,这才刚进来,把斥候散开,就要被叫回去。 The inscription of letter/believes is a commander's seal, this letter/believes is the military order. 信的落款是帅印,这封信就是军令。 Keeps Wu Chuanzong in Dazhai actually not to spread the news ahead of time, likely is the decision that the Xuanwei camp high level makes suddenly. 留在大寨里的吴传宗却没有提前传来消息,很可能是宣威营高层突然做的决定。 The water monkey sees Qin Sang to look reluctant, knows all dispersing scouts to gather, is not 1-2 days can accomplish, „general, now what to do?” 水猴子见秦桑面有难色,也知道把所有散开的斥候聚拢,不是1-2能办到的,“将军,现在怎么办？” Qin Sang thinks, said: „old Zhou, you passes on a message Zheng Kun and Zhang Wenkui now, all manpower give them to assign, stay in Fururyouzan , to continue to seek for the ancient road, you and I return to Dazhai together.” 秦桑想了想,道:“老周,你现在传讯郑坤和张文奎,所有人手交给他们两个调派,留在古灵山,继续寻找古道,你和我一起回大寨。” „Yes!” “是！” ...... …… The heavy rain downpour, their night have not rested, have Fururyouzan to ride to start, next day 7 to 9 a.m hurries back to Dazhai, 大雨倾盆,两人一夜不曾休息,出了古灵山骑上马,第二天辰时才赶回大寨, Outside Dazhai, Qin Sang felt that some are not right, in the army stronghold has the withering atmosphere of differing from the past, the patrol also many that the past is stricter. 在大寨外面,秦桑就感觉到有些不对劲,军寨中有着不同以往的肃杀气氛,巡逻也比往日严密的多。 Two people are travel-worn, Qin Sang exchanges the mail-armor and helmet, just wants first to go to the camp to look for Wu Chuanzong, discovers Wu Chuanzong outside he. 两个人风尘仆仆,秦桑换上甲胄,正想先去营中找吴传宗,发现吴传宗就在外面等他。 „Mister! Deputy General Feng comes to look for me personally, after letting you return to Dazhai, immediately sees him.” “先生！冯副将亲自过来找我,让您回到大寨后,立刻去见他。” Qin Sang nods, asked: „What matter had to have?” 秦桑点点头,问:“有没有查到发生了何事？” Wu Chuanzong shamefacedly said: „ Passes on incompetent, 吴传宗羞愧道:“传宗无能, The day before yesterday in the night the army big camp sealed up suddenly, 12 double-hour had guard with large army, without the order, anybody cannot approach, otherwise executed summarily. Passes on the sect to ask around, unable to obtain the accurate news. ” Qin Sang notices the Wu Chuanzong complexion to be thin and pale, two bring the dark pouche, knows that he also made contribution, if the army present what accident, is not Wu Chuanzong can know that then patted his shoulder, comforting said: „This does not blame you, first rests, I look for Deputy General Feng.” 前日深夜中军大营突然封闭,十二个时辰都有重兵把守,没有命令,任何人不许靠近,否则格杀勿论。传宗四处打探,始终没能得到准确的消息。”秦桑注意到吴传宗面色憔悴,两眼带着黑眼圈,知道他也尽力了,如果中军出现什么变故,也不是吴传宗能知道的,便拍了拍他的肩膀,安抚道:“这不怪你,先去休息吧,我去找冯副将。” Walks in the military camp, Qin Sang looks at soldiers one after another, secret strange, somewhat hesitates. 走在营寨中,秦桑看着一队接一队的士兵,暗暗奇怪,也有些踟躇。 He has not obtained the princess to pass on a message, should not be the rear area has the problem. 他没得到郡主传讯,应该不是后方出现问题。 However, even if the army big camp has the mutiny, still has a big danger. 不过,即使中军大营发生哗变,依然有不小的危险。 Qin Sang relies on already is not a mortal, but if facing several hundred arbalests , can only two shut, the loathsome appearance is very definitely pitiful. 秦桑自恃已经不是凡人,可如果面对几百劲弩,也只能两眼一闭,死相肯定很凄惨。 When arrives at the army big camp quickly, Qin Sang hesitant, calls the yama to come in secret, turns round wisp of divine conciseness on the yama, sneaks in the camp. 快到中军大营时,秦桑犹豫了一下,暗中唤出阎王来,将一缕神识覆在阎王身上,潜入营中。 The yamas passed over gently and swiftly in the big camp quietly, inside has not imagined the destructive scenes, then makes the yama go to the Deputy General Feng army tent/account. 阎王悄然在大营掠过,里面没有想象中杀机四伏的景象,然后引着阎王去冯副将的军帐。 Deputy General Feng in the tent/account, the surroundings is without executioner to ambush, Qin Sang then felt relieved. 冯副将正在帐中,周围也没刀斧手埋伏,秦桑这才放心。 At this time before his already arrives at the military compound gate, puts out the number and route plate, by his ginseng/partake revering, must notify Deputy General Feng after unexpectedly, can be allowed to allow to pass. 此时他已经走到中军营门前,拿出腰牌,以他参将之尊,竟然也要通报冯副将之后,才能获准放行。 „humble general see General Feng!” “末将参见冯将军！” Sees Deputy General Feng to walk from afar, Qin Sang salutes immediately. 远远看到冯副将走过来,秦桑立刻行礼。 „Brother Qin!” “秦老弟！” Deputy General Feng walks fast several steps, supports by the arm Qin Sang, the facial expression is somewhat anxious, „you came back finally, along with me comes quickly!” 冯副将疾走几步,搀住秦桑,神情有些急切,“你终于回来了,快随我来！” Two people the arm entered the Deputy General Feng army tent/account discretely, Deputy General Feng looked out, lowered the sound to say an astonishing news, „provincial commander Sir the ill stupor, is on the verge of death suddenly now, feared that could not insist for several days!” 二人把臂走进冯副将军帐,冯副将谨慎的向外看了看,才低着声音说了个惊人的消息,“提督大人突然病重昏迷,如今危在旦夕,怕是坚持不了几天了！” Qin Sang ‚’, a face was accidental/surprised, the Xuanwei camp two provincial commanders, Wang Liu is the right provincial commander, Commander left is the true palm army great general, this person knows very well the military tactics, to march, discipline to be in the right way strict. 秦桑‘啊’了一声,一脸意外,宣威营两位提督,王流不过是右提督,左提督才是真正的掌军大将,此人熟知兵法、行军有方、军纪严明。 Commander left is the Dongyang King trusted aide, only gives loyalty to the prince, anybody only permits view military aircraft important matter before him, to struggle of heir apparent and princess, is the attitude that two do not help. 左提督是东阳王心腹,只效忠王爷,任何人在他面前只许论军机大事,对世子和郡主之争,也是两不相帮的态度。 Has him to suppress, Wang Liu does not dare to run amuck, copes with Qin Sang with the clever trick. 有他压制,王流才不敢胡作非为,用诡计对付秦桑。 Qin Sang takes out that military order, „correspondence that I resulted in yesterday, who is using the commander's seal?” 秦桑取出那封军令,“我昨日才得的书信,何人在使用帅印？” A Deputy General Feng face said angrily: „Before provincial commander Sir stupor, in the general the matter entrusted to Wang Liu, including commander's seal and tiger tally...... to him!” 冯副将一脸恼怒道:“提督大人昏迷之前,将军中事托付给了王流,包括帅印和虎符……都给他了！” Qin Sang is silent. 秦桑默然。 Now situation already is quite transparent, the Dongyang King ascending a height to get a broad view great treasure is only the time issue, now in the petty court some already people are discussing the matter of crown prince. 如今局势已经相当明了,东阳王登临大宝只是时间问题,现在小朝廷里已经有人在议论太子之事。 The position of crown prince, except for heir apparent, has the qualifications to struggle a struggle on the princess. 太子之位,除了世子,也就郡主有资格争一争。 But since Great Sui has founded a country, never has the precedent that the female chicken rules the dawn, these people will stand in that side, it can be imagined. 但自大隋开国以来,从未有牝鸡司晨的先例,这些人会站在那边儿,可想而知。 In with Ning County, black crane honorable person in secret with the heir apparent ran and. 在和宁县时,黑鹤真人就暗中与世子姌和。 Commander left at point of death, gives Wang Liu the military authority, shows good will to heir apparent, after the help/gang , a joint in belting good reason, is very normal. 左提督弥留之际,把军权交给王流,向世子示好,帮后代结一个善缘,也很正常。
