Chapter 218: White Bones Wrapped in Grass Roots

Slowly entering the rebel camp, the Fuluo city guard found that more than 100 large tents were still there, but there was no one inside or outside the tent, and the things inside were not cleaned up. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

Some of the tents were splashed with blood, some were cut by sharp weapons, and what was even more strange was that not a single weapon could be found in the entire empty camp, and not even a scabbard was seen.

The general of the defending army pondered for a while, and came to a conclusion: "There must have been an accident within the rebels last night, so these people withdrew overnight, otherwise there would be no one in the camp, so clean...... " Before he could finish speaking, a soldier came to report that a new mound had been found in the dense forest not far away.

He immediately took people to inspect it, only to see that on a clearing in the middle of the dense forest, a large earthen bag dozens of feet wide had been raised. The soil bags are freshly dug with moisture, and the surrounding areas of the soil bags have been cleaned up, and there is no trace of messiness and sloppiness.

On the front of the mound was a pair of bloody armor stacked neatly, and a sword lay horizontally on top of the armor. The general defending the city raised his sword and saw that the hilt of the sword was engraved with the words "Cliff Fan", which showed that this was Fan Qiuchi's sword. It seems that this mound is a corpse mound, and the corpses and weapons of the rebels have been buried in the mound.

But who has the ability to wipe out tens of thousands of people in an hour, and clean up the battlefield without leaving a trace?

While he was surprised, a soldier shouted, "What is this?" The crowd searched for their voices, and saw that in the inconspicuous corner behind the mound, there were three or four solid marks of black and red, the size of a grapefruit, and they could not guess for a while, some said that it was a bloody hammer print, and some said that it was a cut off human head print......

The general of the defending army squatted down and carefully observed for a long time, then got up and said, "This is a horseshoe print." The horse's hooves are wrapped in a soft cloth, and the marks left by sucking blood and water. It seems that it was a squad of heavy cavalry that wiped out the rebels last night. ”

The people next to him were puzzled when they heard this: "If the cavalry is so silent, not even a horse manure is left?" ”

The defending generals couldn't figure it out for a while, and he thought more tightly in his heart: "A team of cavalry without any markings, the technique is crisp and neat, leaving no living mouths, the battlefield is cleaned extremely meticulously, and there were black eagle groups before the battle...... Could it be that this is the legendary dead soldier of Emperor Xiaoya-Hengchongdu? ”

The defending general said: "Rampage capital!" As soon as he exited, everyone was shocked, and his expression was not much different from seeing a ghost in broad daylight.

Rampage the capital, only serving Zhao Yuan's secret army. They always show themselves as heavy cavalry, and no one has seen them for what they really are, nor where they came from or how many of them there were. It is only known that each of them is equipped with a black eagle, as long as they never miss, everyone who has seen them has gone to the Hades Palace.

Therefore, such a group of legendary dead soldiers appeared under Fuluo City, and although the soldiers in the city knew that the rampage was not aimed at themselves, they still couldn't help but feel chills all over their bodies.

Early in the morning, Zhao Yuan walked out of the marshal's tent and walked to the outside of the barracks. Dozens of personal guards were on duty outside the tent, and when they saw the emperor out of the tent, they lined up to follow behind, Zhao Yuan turned around and waved his hand and said, "You don't have to follow, I want to go by myself." ”

Out of the barracks, on both sides were rice paddies that were about to ripen, glowing a faint golden yellow in the morning light. Because it was still early, the peasants had not yet gone out to work, and on the empty field, only Zhao Yuan's straight and burly figure with a knife in his hand walked on the field stalks.

Soon he walked to a small hill, and stood on the top of the mountain, which was open to the public, and the sound could be heard far away.

Zhao Yuan faced east, bent his left index finger and put it in his mouth, and blew a high, floating whistle.

After a while, there was no movement, and Zhao Yuan couldn't help frowning slightly. This is the second time he has been here, and after blowing the whistle yesterday, there was no sign of hope, and today it is like this, and it seems that things are not going well......

Just as he was about to turn around and leave, a black spot in the glow of the sky was slowly getting bigger, and Zhao Yuan's eyes suddenly softened, as if he was in the stable at the moment.

The black shadow was getting closer and closer, it was a black eagle with flapping wings, and it flew to the top of Zhao Yuan's head and circled. Zhao Yuan blew another whistle and wanted to let it come down, but it was unmoved, and after flying three times in a regular manner, it flew away north without looking back.

A wry smile appeared on Zhao Yuan's lips: "It seems that there is a new batch of carvings, and they don't recognize me anymore." He walked back with his hands behind his back, his steps were much easier, and the rampage had completed his task, and the siege of Fuluo City had been lifted.

Originally, when the expedition was made, Zhao Yuan ordered the rampage to lie dormant near Luoyang, and respond to emergencies at any time.

Back in the tent, there was already a clerk in the tent, ready to read to Zhao Yuan the war reports sent early in the morning. Zhao Yuan nodded at him, and he held up the battle report and read it.

On the bookcase in the tent was a newly delivered breakfast-a bowl of mutton cakes, and Zhao Yuan sat down, listening to the clerical officer's report while eating.

Fuluo City reported that the rebels outside the city were all strangled by the mysterious cavalry last night. Previously, the rebels burned and looted in the occupied cities, arousing the anger of the people, and within a few days, the people in these cities launched a popular rebellion, annihilating all the rebels in the cities. The four cities that had been occupied by the rebels had all returned to the jurisdiction of the Great Qi army.

Luoyang reported that due to the advent of the rainy season, the water of the Yellow River rose sharply, traffic was blocked, and the fourth batch of grain and grass transported to the front line was stranded on the riverbank. At present, the Ministry of Industry is ordering the Ministry of Water to clear the dredging and precipitation, widen the river, and dispatch large ships to send grain and grass across the river as soon as possible.

Hearing this, the chopsticks in Zhao Yuan's hand couldn't help but stop, and he snorted softly in his nose.

Seeing this, the clerk thought that he had said something wrong, and immediately shut up and stood aside worriedly.

Zhao Yuan found out, looked up at him, signaled that the matter had nothing to do with him, and asked him to continue reading.

The clerk went on to say that in the past few days, Yiguo has sent a number of envoys to visit Lu and South Korea, and there have also been envoys from these two countries to visit Yiguo to exchange visits.

Originally, South Korea and Lu Guo have been quite suspicious for many years because of the direction of the Zhouyan Canal, but recently there has been a state of ice release. It is reported that the armies of these three countries have even exchanged codes, so that it is convenient to advance and retreat at the same time during the battle......

This was what Zhao Yuan was most worried about, he couldn't eat anymore, so he stepped aside the bowl. The hard work and marching of the days made him lose a lot of weight, and his cheeks were already stubbled with beard, and at this moment, his eyes were worried, and his sword eyebrows were slightly locked, which made his face a little depressed and cold.
