"Are you alright, sir?" The subordinate who delivered the medicine to Yan Shichong asked with concern.

Yan Shichong raised his head and swallowed the pill in his hand, and said to the subordinate without drinking water, "It's okay, you go outside the basin to see if they have come back." ”

The subordinate immediately trotted out.

Yan Shichong turned around and picked up a glass of water from the table next to him, drank it, and continued to pace around the room.

Suddenly, there were footsteps from far and near, and Yan Shichong immediately stopped.

It was the person he had just sent out who came in, and he said to Yan Shichong, "My lord, reinforcements from Hunan and Guizhou have arrived. ”

Yan Shichong immediately strode out.

Seeing the leaders of the Hunan and Guizhou teams, Yan Shichong suddenly became angry, glared at them angrily and asked, "Why did you only arrive at this time?" Did you know that your delay missed my big deal? ”

Gu Lu, the leader of Guizhou, hurriedly knelt down and said: "Lord Hui, after receiving your notice, I will immediately gather people, but many people will refuse to come after hearing the news that Yan Jinxuan's army is in Sichuan, so I have to put up advertisements to recruit people." Since the people are scattered in various districts, we did not gather 20,000 people until yesterday afternoon, which is why we have delayed it for a day, hoping that your lordship will forgive you. ”

This is only one reason, and there is another reason that Gu Lu did not say, that is, 'neither he nor his subordinates are very happy to come to support'.

In the past six months, they have become more and more panicked when they see the Yan Party in several provinces being surrounded and suppressed by people sent by the imperial court. In the past few years, they did follow Yan Shichong with all their hearts. But the current situation has shaken their minds a little.

'Will there be a future for him if he follows?' This is the question that Gu Lu has thought about the most in the past six months.

It is human nature/ability to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, and he is not stupid, so he naturally does not want to jump into the fire pit.

It was precisely because Gu Lu and many of his subordinates were somewhat shaken that this summoning operation was the most difficult in his commanding career. First, because his subordinates were unwilling to come, he had to lobby a lot. The second is his psychological struggle.

However, Gu Lu also knew very well that if he disobeyed Yan Shichong's orders or automatically quit the Yan Party organization, Yan Shichong would definitely not let him go, so in such a critical situation, he had no time to act according to his own ideas, so he could only choose to obey against his will.

"Don't we make a rule? If they refuse to obey, then immediately behead them, where else can you do this in such a critical situation? Yan Shichong asked with a serious face.

Gu Lu didn't know whether Yan Shichong was referring to the fact that he didn't punish his subordinates who didn't want to come, or whether he was calling all the people before leaving, or whether he was referring to these two things. He didn't dare to argue. Hurriedly put his forehead on the ground and said: "It's wrong, please surrender your lordship." ”

Although Yan Shichong was very dissatisfied with his performance, he had to endure it when he thought that it was the time when he was in urgent need of manpower. Yan Shichong turned around and asked Ba Ting, the leader of Hunan, "Why are you so late?" ”

Ba Ting was a young man in his early twenties. Yan Shichong was not very nervous when he heard this. He knelt down. He replied calmly: "My lord, when our group arrived at the Shuangfen River, we happened to encounter a heavy rainstorm, and the heavy rain caused a major flood. We couldn't cross the river at all, so we had to walk from the path on the other side of Zhanghua Mountain. But the trail was too difficult to walk, so it was delayed. However, our journey to here is more than 100 miles farther than the distance from Guizhou to here, so it is really not too late to arrive at this time. ”

Yan Shichong wanted to be angry, but after thinking about it, he swallowed back the words of the end, and said to them with a cold face: "Go in and talk." ”

With that, he walked straight ahead.

Gu Lu and Ba Ting glanced at each other, and immediately followed.

After sitting down in the conference hall of the stone castle, Yan Shichong said to them, "After dinner tonight, we will divide our troops into three ways and go to Suining, and we must arrive there by tomorrow night." ”

"Yes." They replied in unison.

After the meal, Yan Shichong, Gu Lu and Ba Tingbing went straight to Suining in three ways.

In fact, if you want to rush from Kuizhou to Suining, the time of the day is very tense, and Gu Lu and Ba Ting are a little helpless.

But since it was Yan Shichong's order, they had to obey, so as soon as they arrived at the main road, they immediately let the whole army accelerate its advance.

Yan Shichong rushed to Suining and also asked people from other parts of Sichuan to come to Suining, in order to be able to wipe out Yan Jinxuan and his party.

This will be a large-scale encirclement and suppression operation.

Thinking that Yan Jinxuan and his party would be wiped out in a few days, Yan Shichong couldn't help but laugh from his heart.

Although Yan Shichong had the advantage in numbers, he hadn't forgotten that Yan Jinxuan could play the formation, so he was now eagerly waiting for Gu Yungang to bring someone who understood the formation back.

Just in case, Yan Shichong sent another subordinate named Dong Song to help find someone who understood the formation.

Half a day later, Gu Yungang rode a horse and galloped towards Yan Shichong.

Yan Shichong couldn't help frowning when he saw him returning alone.

Gu Yungang reported to him: "My lord, I have walked more than a dozen districts in the next few days, but I can't find anyone who understands the formation. ”

"That's weird, aren't there always a lot of people walking around in those districts you go to?" Yan Shichong asked puzzled.

"Yes, but when I went to investigate, I didn't find any of them, and I really ......" Gu Yungang said helplessly.

He had tried his best to inquire, but the locals said that there was no one who understood this.

"Obviously, they deliberately didn't tell you." Yan Shichong gritted his teeth and said.

"It's possible, but you can't ...... it down" Gu Yungang looked embarrassed.

You can't put a knife on someone's neck, can you?

Gu Yungang went alone, so he didn't dare to cause a conflict, for fear that he would take his life.

Although Yan Shichong didn't say anything, he was very dissatisfied with Gu Yungang in his heart.

If it weren't for the fact that Gu Yungang still had some use value, Yan Shichong would have wanted to cut it with a knife.

…………

Yan Jinxuan and Zhang Yingteng led more than 70,000 horses to move overnight and arrived in Suining the next morning.

At this time, Yan Shichong and his henchmen were still on the road two or three hundred miles away from Suining.

"It's too slow, keep accelerating." Yan Shichong ordered the army behind him.

So 100,000 people flew in the direction of Suining.

After Yan Jinxuan and his entourage arrived in Suining, they immediately stopped to rest and eat.

At the time of the meal, Yan Jinxuan said to Zhang Yingteng: "We have to go in two ways again." I will take a team of people to Chengdu, and you will take a team of people to Ziyang first, and then from Ziyang to Chengdu. (To be continued.) )
