Chapter 403 Starry Night Siege

From the moment he learned that his general had been killed to the sound of drum beating and his soldiers preparing to attack, Gu Qing's expression was calm from beginning to end. At this moment, he was extremely calm and there was no emotion at all on his face.

No matter how great the hatred, no matter how deep the hatred, the hatred is so close, it is even more necessary to calm down at this time.

Gu Qing knew very well that hatred can make people impulsive and lose their minds. The decisions people make when they lose their minds are often wrong. This mistake may cause the revenge plan to change or even fail.

Therefore, the more important things are in front of you, the more calm you must be. This is the basic quality that successful people must possess.

Gu Qing had such qualities in his previous life. Because in his previous life, he was also a successful person.

Six thousand soldiers and horses were mobilized quickly amidst the rapid rumbling of drums. Under the dark night, with the weak light of torches, only human figures could be faintly seen, and the war horses neighed.

Chen Shufeng's troops only had a thousand men, and they set up camp at the same spot as it was getting dark. Unexpectedly, Shen Tian's troops moved so quickly, and actually pursued them silently, and quickly surrounded them under the cover of night.

Chen Shufeng was not afraid of Shen Tian. He knew that Shen Tian did not dare to do anything to him. In fact, Shen Tian did not dare. He just ordered the soldiers to surround Chen Shufeng and then did not dare to move.

It was not until Gu Qing arrived with three thousand troops and killed the general who had sent the message on the spot without saying a word that Chen Shufeng felt a little uneasy.

According to the legend, Lord Gu was as fierce as fire and would kill people if he disagreed with him. It seems that the rumors are indeed true.

Then Gu Qing ordered a siege. As the rumbling drums beat, Chen Shufeng noticed the movement of soldiers and horses around him, and surrounded them three levels inside and three levels outside. In the dark night, he couldn't see the specific traces of the movements, but Chen Shufeng heard the sound of weapons. He could also understand the sound of unsheathing and the sound of war drums in the army. He could understand the rapid rhythm as soon as he heard it. It was the rhythm of the drums preparing to attack. Once the drums stopped, it was the moment for thousands of troops to charge. .

At this time, Chen Shufeng finally panicked. He underestimated Gu Qing's bad temper. He didn't expect that the prince's temper was worse than the rumors. He didn't even intend to communicate with him. He was ready to attack after a disagreement.

Listening to the drum beat getting more and more urgent, Chen Shufeng's cheeks twitched violently, and he ordered in a hissing voice: "Send out another person, meet with Gu Qing, and tell him that I have confidential matters to discuss with him. I am willing to go to the remaining two generals of the Anxi Army." Release immediately."

A fast horse galloped out from Chen Shufeng's headquarters again, waving the flag while galloping, and said loudly: "Master Gu, wait a minute! Wait a minute! Captain Chen has confidential matters to discuss with the Marquis..."

A cold voice came from the dark sand dunes: "Shoot!"

There was a swishing sound, and the knight on the horse was even worse than the one before. He was shot into a hedgehog without even seeing Gu Qing's face. He didn't even have time to hum before he fell on his back.

When Chen Shufeng saw it from a distance, he couldn't help but feel frightened and cold sweat dripped down his forehead.

Today... I am afraid of a catastrophe. Gu Qing is really unruly and refuses even basic communication. At this moment, he has killed two of his subordinates. It seems that he is not afraid of making things worse. For someone like him, he is quite... He didn't even care about the identity of the law enforcement captain who was under the emperor's orders.

What does he... rely on? Where does he have the confidence to dare to attack the law enforcement team sent by the emperor to monitor him?

At this moment, Chen Shufeng's friendly and kind face suddenly appeared in Liu Luogu's mind.

From the first day he came to Anxi, he kept the instructions of his confidant Liu Luogu firmly in mind, and Pei Zhounan and his mission to Anxi made him feel more confident.

It was not enough for Anxi to have Bian Lingcheng as a supervisor. The emperor also sent Pei Zhounan as a supervisor and even a thousand law enforcement teams. What does this mean? It means that the emperor does not trust Gu Qing, otherwise how could he send people one after another to monitor him?

?Since there is no trust, it means that the emperor intends to remove Gu Qing from the position of Jiedushi of Anxi.

Doesn't this fact coincide with the evidence Liu Luogu requested to prove Gu Qing?

The emperor did not trust Gu Qing, An Lushan had a grudge against Gu Qing, both public and private, and Chen Shufeng pushed Gu Qing down from the position of Jiedushi. It was inevitable to capture the unimportant people and gain more important ones.

Man, this is a common way to bring down political opponents in official circles, and Chen Shufeng did the same.

But judging from Gu Qing's reaction at this moment, Chen Shufeng realized that he seemed to be wrong.

Chen Shufeng couldn't tell what went wrong. He only felt that the man standing on the lonely sand dune outside the heavy encirclement, standing on horseback and staring at him quietly, was like an unshakable mountain. What he did had no impact on him at all.

There is no threat whatsoever.

When the only identity he relied on suddenly turned out to be ineffective, Chen Shufeng panicked.

This should not be what he imagined, and the situation should not have come to this point.

Thinking of this, Chen Shufeng no longer looked arrogant, and shouted loudly: "Master Guhou, the last general has been ordered by the emperor to investigate the lawlessness of the Anxi Army. Master Gu, please do not make mistakes in your future. Please think twice before acting."

There was finally a response from the dunes opposite, but the response was cold and heartless.

"Send the order to fire arrows, kill some of them first and then attack."

As soon as he finished speaking, there was only a sound of trembling bowstrings, and a rain of arrows rained down from the sky towards Chen Shufeng's men. Countless screams and howls of pain were suddenly heard in the darkness, and nearly a hundred people fell to the ground around Chen Shufeng.

Chen Shufeng drew his sword and blocked several arrows that were shot at him. He was shocked and shouted angrily: "Master Guhou, I was sent by the emperor. You dare to kill me, aren't you afraid of the emperor's punishment?"

There was silence for a while on the sand dune opposite. Suddenly, a man and a horse galloped down the sand dune, and flew straight out of the encirclement. They loudly said: "Preach the words of the Marquis, and immediately hand over the Anxi military generals you captured. The Marquis just said

We will not punish the accomplices who are responsible for the culprit. Otherwise, we will kill all of you and leave no one behind!"

Chen Shufeng was still in a daze, and there was an uproar in all directions. The soldiers surrounding them shouted in unison: "Hand over the robe, hand over the robe!"

There was a sudden commotion among Chen Shufeng's troops. Gu Qing's strong reaction was noticed by everyone, and they finally understood Gu Qing a little better.

This Marquis is so murderous, he is like a evil star from heaven. He only killed and injured two or three Anxi military generals. Is it necessary to protect the calf to this extent?

Lu Shengquan, who had been tortured so badly by Chen Shufeng, was lying on the sand, one leg hanging limply, as if it had been broken. Hearing the shouts like landslides and tsunamis outside the encirclement, Lu Shengquan grinned and shouted with all his strength.

When he laughed, his laughter had a bit of madness.

"Chen Shufeng, Mr. Gu will not give up any of Anxi Junpao Ze. You are on the verge of death! Haha! Blood debts must be paid with blood. God is just and fair!"

The drumming continued, getting faster and faster. With the rapid rhythm of the drums, the surrounding circle shrank smaller and smaller without realizing it.

Chen Shufeng stood in the defensive formation formed by the cavalry, his expression unpredictable, sometimes struggling, sometimes resentful.

He gritted his teeth and stared at the man and horse riding on the sand dunes in the distance with his bloodshot eyes. The situation was as critical as black clouds over the city, but Chen Shufeng still didn't let go.

This is a game between the two armies, a competition of will between the two sides. Chen Shufeng is betting that Gu Qing will not dare to actually order an attack, and that Gu Qing will never dare to destroy his own future.

Suddenly, the drums stopped, the low horn sounded, and the sob-like whimpering echoed in the dark desert. The murderous aura became more and more serious, like a tangible knife, silently in Chen Shufeng's body.

Scratching all over the neck.

Outside the encirclement, the generals of the Anxi Army rode their horses and shouted orders.

"Prepare to attack"

"Cavalry units form a formation"

"Arrow forward!"

The orders one after another were like reminders from the King of Hell, mercilessly destroying the military morale of Chen Shufeng's soldiers.

Just before Gu Qing immediately ordered the attack, Chen Shufeng's will finally collapsed.

He knew he lost the bet.

From the increasingly fierce murderous aura around him, one could feel that Gu Qing really dared to kill him, and even dared to kill every one of his thousand cavalry.

This is a lunatic!

"Wait! Wait! I am willing to hand over General Anxi!" Chen Shufeng shouted with red eyes.

The soldiers of the Anxi Army who had already made an offensive posture immediately put away their swords and returned their halberds. Just a moment ago, the encirclement was surrounded by the sound of killing, but now it was as silent as a tomb.

Lu Shengquan and another Anxi military general were escorted to the edge of the encirclement. The Anxi army officers and soldiers quickly helped them out of the encirclement and set up torches to treat their injuries. As for another dead general, Chen Shufeng ordered him to be sent away

After going out, the Anxi Army officers and soldiers carried the body quietly toward the sand dunes.

The general was handed over, but the encirclement was not removed.

After losing the game just now, Chen Shufeng sat on the sand with a dejected look on his face, and his whole body seemed to have collapsed in an instant.

In the dark night, another cold voice suddenly came from the lonely sand dune.

"Chen Shufeng tied his hands and came out. The others all threw away their weapons, otherwise they will still be treated as enemies."

The officers and men under Chen Shufeng looked at each other with ashen faces. Chen Shufeng was like a soulless sculpture, sitting on the sandy mountain and staring blankly into the distance, not knowing what he was thinking.

Does Liu Luogu, who is far away in Chang'an, know what is happening to him at this moment? What kind of coincidence was the mistake he made for him? Is it worth it to risk his life on the gambling table for a request from his so-called confidant?

Chen Shufeng had a lot of thoughts at the moment and looked miserable.

After a long silence, the cold voice from the dune opposite came again.

"Chen Shufeng, what are you waiting for? If you kill my soldiers, do you think you can escape unscathed?"

The surrounding Anxi Army officers and soldiers shouted: "Bind your own hands, and the rest will surrender!"

After a long while, Chen Shufeng looked up to the sky and sighed, dejectedly saying: "I...willing to tie my own hands."

…………

It was already dawn when Gu Qing returned to the Kucha camp.

As more than 6,000 soldiers and horses appeared in the north of the camp, the Kucha camp was already in a state of excitement. The soldiers, regardless of military discipline, ran out to watch and told each other excitedly.

Gu Qing brought back two pieces of news. One was that one of the Anxi military generals who had been locked up for no reason was killed and two injured, both of which were caused by Chen Shufeng's torture.

By the way, [app] is really good and worth installing. After all, there are many sources of books, complete books, and fast updates!

Second, Lord Gu led his army out of the camp at night and captured Chen Shufeng and his thousand cavalry back alive.

The entire camp was boiling and the sky was filled with uproar, and the noise was extremely noisy.

Gu Qing led the soldiers and horses of the Anxi army and Chen Shusheng, who was sitting on the horse with his hands tied and his head bowed, had just stepped into the gate of the camp when he suddenly heard a roar like the earth was shattering from all around.

"Kill Chen Shufeng! Kill Chen Shufeng!"

In the distance outside the camp, Pei Zhounan, disheveled and with a frightened look on his face, rolled towards him and ran towards him.
