Beilu Pass.
Yuan Cong felt a little uneasy.
Of course he knew that more than 40,000 Northern Army soldiers were besieged at Gubian.
A few days ago, Wei Wenzhong sent someone to the imperial city to report the news in an urgent manner, traveling 800 miles.
Although he didn't get anything out of Wei Wenzhong's personal soldier, just by looking at the three flags on the man's back he knew that something big must have happened on the front line of Shuobei, and it was definitely bad news.
Yun Zheng was trapped on the edge of the hill, so of course he was very happy.
However, something big happened on the front line of Shuobei. Why didn't Wei Wenzhong send anyone to pass the order to Beilu Pass?
Logically speaking, under such circumstances, Wei Wenzhong would send someone to inquire about the situation at Beilu Pass every three days at most.
This is the most basic stuff!
If the situation is urgent, you may even ask once a day!
...
...
However, it has been almost six days since Wei Wenzhong's personal soldiers went to the imperial city to report the news!
Six days!
For such a long time, Wei Wenzhong actually ignored Beilu Pass?
Normally, the people he sent to Dingbei three days ago should have returned before nightfall yesterday, but they have not returned yet.
This is really abnormal!
He even suspected that Shuobei had been captured by the Beihuan army!
If he was the commander of Beilu Pass and could not leave his post without permission, he would have wanted to go to Dingbei in person to take a look.
"Something happened! Something must have happened in Dingbei!"
The more Yuan Cong thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong, and he began to pace back and forth in the mansion.
no!
We must find out what happened in Dingbei as soon as possible!
We also need to strengthen the defense of Beilu Pass!
If Beilu Pass is captured by Beihuan, no one can save him!
Anyone who loses Beilu Pass will have his entire clan executed!
This unwritten rule is no joke!
"Someone! Tell Yuan Gui to come over immediately!"
Yuan Cong shouted loudly outside the door.
"yes!"
The people outside took the order and left.
Soon, Yuan Cong's personal soldiers came to report: "General, the young general is... drunk."
"What?"
When Yuan Cong heard this, he was so angry that his lungs almost exploded.
This beast!
There's still more than an hour before dark, and he's actually drunk?
“Take me there!”
Yuan Cong stood up in rage and walked out with a cold face.
How could I have raised such a beast!
I never felt at ease when I was in the imperial city.
We have already come to Shuobei, and this beast still doesn't give me peace of mind?
The more Yuan Cong thought about it, the angrier he became, and his fists clenched until they made a crackling sound.
Soon, Yuan Cong arrived at the camp of Yuan Gui's troops.
After Yuan Gui came to Shuobei, he was promoted to a higher rank. Now he is a general of the fourth rank, commanding the only 3,000 elite cavalry in Beilu Pass.
As soon as Yuan Cong entered Yuan Gui's barracks, he smelled a strong smell of alcohol.
On the table, there was still half a jar of Zhang Gong Zui that had not been finished.
Looking at Yuan Gui lying on the bed sleeping like a dead pig, Yuan Cong became even more furious.
This beast!
I was so anxious that I was running around, but he was drunk and unconscious.
If the enemy attacks, can we still count on him?
"Someone come!"
Yuan Cong shouted angrily: "Bring this general a basin of cold water!"
Soon, the people accompanying him brought a basin of ice-cold water.
Yuan Cong took the cold water and splashed it at Yuan Gui angrily.
"ah……"
Yuan Gui was awakened by the cold water. He sat up suddenly and yelled angrily: "Who the hell dares to splash me? Believe it or not, I will..."
Before Yuan Gui could finish his words, he noticed Yuan Cong standing beside the bed with a grim face.
Yuan Gui quickly swallowed the words that were about to come out of his mouth and got up in a panic.
Yuan Gui's drunkenness had not completely dissipated and he almost couldn't stand steadily. He had to hold on to the bed frame to keep his balance.
"Swear! Why don't you curse?"
Yuan Cong stared at his son with a grim face.
Yuan Gui laughed dryly, "Dad, why...why are you here?"
While speaking, Yuan Gui burped.
"If I hadn't come, I wouldn't have known you were living so comfortably!"
Yuan Cong was furious. He stepped forward and kicked Yuan Gui to the ground, cursing fiercely, "The situation on the front line is unclear, and there is no news from Dingbei. I am almost dying of anxiety. You still have the mind to drink here? Do you want me to throw you into the wine jar and let you drink enough?"
Yuan Gui fell to the ground, looked at Yuan Cong timidly, and then whispered: "I was thinking that Yun Zheng, that bastard, would definitely die, so I was so happy that..."
Bang!
Before Yuan Gui could finish his words, Yuan Cong kicked him hard.
"You beast, do you want to die?"
Yuan Cong was so angry that he was shaking all over, and kicked the beast hard a few more times.
This beast only cares about food and not about beatings!
Has he forgotten how much trouble his foul mouth has caused?
How dare he say such things?
If this fucking news got out, people who didn’t know would think they were trying to kill Yun Zheng!
If you want to be happy, do it secretly!
The more Yuan Cong thought about it, the angrier he became, and he kicked hard one after another.
"Dad, I was wrong!"
"I won't do it again!"
"Please forgive me!"
Yuan Gui was kicked so hard that he screamed in pain and begged for mercy.
Yuan Cong was so angry that he didn't care about Yuan Gui's pleas for mercy and just kept kicking him.
However, since he was his own son after all, Yuan Cong did not do anything cruel to him.
After venting his anger, Yuan Cong finally stopped.
"Get out of here right now!"
Yuan Cong roared in anger: "You personally lead a hundred cavalrymen to Dingbei to see what happened to Dingbei and the two frontier guards! You must rush back to me before noon the day after tomorrow!"
After being beaten, Yuan Gui was completely sober and quickly got up from the ground to accept orders.
At this moment, a soldier hurried in to report to Yuan Cong: "General, King Jingbei and the deputy commander have arrived at the mansion. Order the general to return home quickly!"
"who?"
Yuan Cong and his son screamed at the same time and looked at the soldier who reported the news in astonishment.
Damn it!
Aren’t Yun Zheng and Dugu Ce trapped on the edge of the hill?
How did they get to Beilu Pass?
"Prince Jingbei and his deputy commander Dugu Ce."
The soldiers reported again.
"Bullshit! Someone must be impersonating them!"
Yuan Gui was furious. "They were trapped at the edge of the hill. How could they come to Beilu Pass? Spies! They must be Beihuan's spies! You bastards let Beihuan's spies in!"
Yuan Gui didn't believe that Yun Zheng and the others could break out.
Even if they broke out, they couldn't do it so quickly.
“It’s really them!”
The soldier whispered back, "When King Jingbei passed through Beilu Pass, I met King Jingbei..."
At this moment, the soldiers only wanted to curse.
If it wasn’t Prince Jingbei and Dugu Ce, who would take them to Yuan Cong’s general’s mansion?
Anyone with a bit of brains wouldn't say such stupid things.
When Yuan Gui heard this, he was stunned.
Is it really Yun Zheng and Dugu Ce?
Damn it!
What the hell is going on?
Just when Yuan Gui was distracted, Yuan Cong kicked him again, "What are you still standing there for? Put on your armor quickly and go meet them with me!"
At this moment, Yuan Cong’s mind was also confused.
Yun Zheng and Dugu Ce actually broke out?
And they didn’t receive any news?
Yuan Cong shook his head vigorously, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong.
Logically speaking, after Yun Zheng and his men broke out, Wei Wenzhong would have sent someone to the imperial city to report the news.
Considering that there has been no communication between any messenger and Beilu Pass in recent days, Yuan Cong suddenly realized that something big might have really happened in Dingbei!
"Order Yao Siming to close his eyes immediately. No one is allowed to enter or leave without my order!"
Yuan Cong ordered his personal soldiers to quickly walk out of Yuan Gui's barracks...
