Chapter 60: The Battle of Officials and Bandits

This day is undoubtedly lively for Yingcheng, which has just finished the quiet night. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info樂文novel|

A wedding banquet that was originally unknown swept through the city like a violent wind, and at the same time, it also had a name.

Zhanbai, the strategist of the prince of Chu State.

It is said that this person was born with a scholar-like weak face, but he has a seven-trick exquisite heart, and he is not more than twenty years old, and his mind is like a demon.

Don't believe me?

"Ahem, do you know about the purge that caused a sensation in Yingcheng a few days ago? However, all the officials sent by the court and some local gentry and clans were purged and exterminated in a moment, and the methods were not cruel. Everyone in the world thought that Gongzi Jun was majestic, but they didn't know that all this came from the strategy of Zhanbai. "In the market, wherever there is a bustle, there is always a know-it-all who thinks he is well-informed, shaking a feather fan and enjoying the eager eyes of the surroundings smugly.

As a result, Zhanbai's name spread, and everyone knows it.

The world's wedding banquet is naturally grand, and on the main street of all places, there will be a team of relatives composed of the six rates of the prince, and the magnificent and joyful will converge from eight directions towards Zhanbai's mansion.

The ceremonial officials from the vassal palace worked hard and almost showed their housekeeping skills, and compared this wedding banquet to the princes and nobles.

There is infinite hustle and bustle outside, but at this time, there is silence in the study room.

Zhan Bai, who was dressed in a big red wedding robe, sat with Gongzi Jun as the host and guest, but what was waiting on the side was no longer the sound of the piano, or charming, it was actually a scorpion.

It's not because the first two fell out of favor, it's just because they are hanging out next to the bride at this time, and they really can't get out. As for the scorpion, it was also at the right time, and he stayed because he had something to say.

"So, that group of lake bandits is only a hundred miles away from Yingcheng?" Zhan Bai frowned slightly.

If you change the time from this time, this is undoubtedly good news.

Just now?

On the day of the wedding, how can you be disturbed by this group of small people?

"Sir, do you want the students to lead someone and go to stop it?" The son on the opposite side spoke.

"No." Zhan Bai shook his head, "As the son of the world, there is no reason for you to be in danger, and besides, if I am above the wedding hall, if I don't have you, I will be overshadowed." ”

"In this case, Scorpion, you can find a way to contact those two and have them lure the lake bandits to the border guards." In the end, Zhan Bai made a decision, "Yingcheng is already under control, and there is no need for the lake bandits to attack the city, and now their only remaining use value is to contain or even consume the border guards." Once today's day passes, it will be the time for the prince to come forward, to fight the enemy, and by the way, he will also pocket the border guards. ”

"Sir, this is a brilliant plan."

Then, Zhan Bai explained the plan in detail to the scorpion, and sent it away.

Obviously, Gongzi Jun also had to meet with Zhanbai privately at this time, not just for the sake of the lake bandits.

"Sir, this is the income of the house after cleaning Yingcheng a few days ago, you can see if there is anything eye-catching, and it will be regarded as a wedding gift from the students." Childe Jun said with a smile.

For anyone, a windfall is something to be happy about. Gongzi Jun is no exception, and thanks to him, he can still afford to show white.

It sounds good and is a gift, but it doesn't sound good, but in fact, it is to sit on the ground and share the spoils.

Zhan Bai did not refuse, and after taking the roster handed by Gongzi Jun, he took a closer look.

There was a book-thick roster full of the money obtained by the raiders, and the harvest was not huge.

Zhan Bai turned the pages one by one, and he was also a little shocked in his heart.

I really didn't expect that in this city, those wealthy families have such a background, and there are really not too many good things copied.

After a cup of tea, Zhan Bai finally turned the last page, first groaned carefully, and then spoke, "These things can be used as the first capital for us to start an incident." ”

"That's what the students think." Childe Jun nodded.

"In this case, I only need fifty catties of mountain seals, fifty catties of distant mountain seals, and one hundred catties of river and sea seals." Zhanbai put forward his own requirements.

If it is for ordinary people, these things are undoubtedly heavy treasures that can sacrifice their lives, and the huge number is even more terrifying, enough to create dozens or even hundreds of magic weapons. Its value is so great, in this Spring and Autumn Continent, I am afraid that only a few big families can have this heritage.

But Rao is like this, what Zhanbai wants is only half of the weight of the three types of heavy treasures in this roster, and there are even a lot of Jianghu seals, but he has not taken it at all.

When Gongzi Jun heard this, if he didn't feel distressed, it would be a lie, but it was not beyond his bearing. Now that the big words have been said before, it is better to be generous than to be careful.

Gongzi Jun gritted his teeth, and without too much hesitation, he readily agreed.

"Later, the student will be sent to the gentleman's house."

"Don't blame me for being greedy, I mentioned to you before, but now I really lack a weapon to take advantage of." Zhanbai's seemingly redundant explanation can be regarded as a little comfort to the bleeding mood of the next son.

"Sir, the auspicious time is almost here, let's go out, I can't say, now the bride can't wait."

"Okay, let's go."

The third life is a human being, but for Zhanbai, it is the first time to get married with such fanfare as much as today, and for some reason, I am inexplicably a little nervous.

Fortunately, everything was assisted by the courtesy, and the whole process was not wrong.

And just when Yingcheng was blowing and blowing and not lively, the border guards fifty miles outside the city were bloody.

A group of more than 3,000 green forest bandits raided the camp in broad daylight.

The rabble of 3,000 should have been powerless against the well-trained border guards. But that was in the situation of opening up the formation, fighting with real swords and guns.

But now, the bandits appeared too suddenly, and they caught the border guards off guard. Secondly, the chief officer and the cavalry general An Jushan were not in the camp, and the border guards were leaderless, and as soon as the battle began, they undoubtedly fell into chaos and failed to set up the battle formation in time.

Without the blessing of the battle array, in the face of bandits who were several times their own, although the border guards still showed strong combat power, they were already fighting on their own, and they could not exert their true strength at all.

At this time, the entire barracks were full of fighting circles, screams and roars were endless, blood was overflowing, and the ground under his feet was soon stained red with blood.

In this battle, the one who killed was called a dark, that is, an extraordinary person on both sides, and fought for nearly four hours before they retreated because of exhaustion.

At this time, there were less than 1,000 of the 3,000 lake bandits, which was considered to be a rabble. After the war, morale was depressed, and the vast majority of bandits still had the will to fight, if it weren't for the control of someone above, I am afraid that they would have fled long ago.

On the other hand, the border guards were not having a good time, except for those who died in battle and those who had broken hands and feet and were no longer able to fight, there were only 500 people who could raise troops to meet the enemy at this time.

At this time, it was seen that the regular army was fierce, although more than half of it was lost, but the remaining 500 people did not have the slightest sign of bombing the camp, and every soldier had a resolute look on his face, for the dead comrades, and even more for the humiliation left by this battle.

Six of the ten lieutenant generals were folded, and the remaining four did not have time to rest, so they discussed retreating from the enemy in a temporary command post, no, it was a strategy to destroy the enemy.
