Wang Ji sat in the tent, and there were several documents on the desk in front of him. There was a fire on the side of the case, the fire was blazing, the iron kettle on the shelf made a gurgling sound, and the lid of the kettle was crackling with steam, but Wang Ji was indifferent.

A concubine walked over, wrapped her hands in cloth, lifted the iron kettle, poured a cup of steaming goat's milk for Wang Ji, and carefully placed it in front of Wang Ji. The snow-white goat's milk exudes an attractive aroma, which finally brings Wang Ji back to his senses.

Wang Ji took the goat's milk, took a shallow sip, and let out a pleasant sigh.

"This is the taste of Bingzhou, the taste of Taiyuan. You Luoyang people don't understand. ”

The young concubine smiled softly and did not speak. Although she is from Luoyang, she is only a concubine bought by Wang Ji, and she is not qualified to express her opinion, and whatever Wang Ji says is what she says. However, she didn't think there was anything good about this goat's milk, and she didn't understand why Wang Ji was so obsessed with this kind of food, and she didn't forget to take a sheep with her when she ran away.

In contrast, she would prefer to eat mutton.

"Are the rangers gone?" Wang Ji raised his head, looked through the tent door, and looked at the night in the distance. In order to repel mosquitoes, a few piles of dead grass were lit outside the tent, and the smoke was so thick that it was impossible to see in the distance.

"I didn't go, I seem to be thinking of a way to attack."

Wang Ji sneered and pursed his lips. He didn't think Zhang Wei could find any way to attack. Even if he was outstanding in personal martial arts, he could not face a cavalry assault that was several times his own. A commando cavalry can kill two or three opponents with good luck, but it is impossible to kill ten opponents with luck.

On the contrary, a mounted archer can shoot several times his opponent with his superb archery skills.

He prepared more than 20 Hanhu cavalry for Zhang Wei, including several Xiongnu and Xianbei archers with superb marksmanship. The assault cavalry assaulted head-on, and the archer fired from both flanks, which was an effective cavalry tactic.

This is the experience he learned from his father Wang Rou, who was the general of the Xiongnu Zhonglang, and it was also confirmed by the Xiongnu shooters around him. Wang Rou was a young man, and was appreciated by the famous Guo Linzong, who had been in the border county for many years, and allowed for literature and martial arts, but his career was difficult, so that the Xiongnu Zhonglang General was the apex of his career.

Thinking of his father's regret before his death, Wang Ji's nose was a little sour. He bowed his head so that his concubine would not see his tears.

Concubine Ji sensed Wang Ji's emotions and quietly withdrew. Wang Ji sighed, and was inexplicably anxious, got up and abandoned two steps back and forth, and looked up at the tent again.

What are the rangers waiting for? Fight and not fight, retreat and not retreat.

Wang Ji pondered for a moment, walked out of the tent, and called a guard to let him go to the east to have a look. Zhang Wei and others chased all the way from the west, but they did not launch an attack for a long time, probably waiting for reinforcements, or feinting to attack in the west, but in fact launched a sneak attack from the east.

The guard bowed and took the order, and turned to go.

"Spirit, be optimistic about both sides, don't be taken advantage of by those rangers." Wang Ji shouted, although his voice was not loud, but it was very majestic.

"Whoa." The guards around the big tent agreed in unison, and subconsciously puffed up their chests.

Wang Ji raised his head and looked around, a sneer on the corner of his mouth.

Want to avenge that madman? I let you have no return. When the time comes, I will take your head to receive the reward, and maybe I will be able to recover and continue my career. When he was not confused, he was on the throne to 2,000 stones, and he had the opportunity to surpass his father and become the minister.

As soon as he thought of this, Wang Ji couldn't help but feel a wave of emotion. He didn't have the good luck of his younger brother Wang Chang to become the former minister of the East Palace of Emperor Wen Cao Pi, but he grasped Cao Pi's mind and instructed Cang to sue Cao Zhi, so that Cao Pi took revenge on Cao Zhi openly and fiercely, and made great contributions.

It's a pity that Cao Pi died before he could be rewarded.

Time is also lucky.

Wang Ji paced back and forth twice outside the tent, raised his head again, and looked at the few stars in the sky, and an indescribable tiredness arose. When I was young, I read the book of sages, and I wanted to cultivate myself and govern the country, but now that I am not confused, I know that only the scriptures of the sages are not enough, if you want to have a smooth career, you also need to have network resources, and you must be able to figure out the thoughts of the officials and know what the emperor wants to do.

It would be better to know how long the emperor would live. Don't be like Cao Pi, who died at the age of forty and died so suddenly.

Zhu Jianping has harmed people a lot.

Wang Ji thought about it for a while, and his body was slightly cool by the wind. Just as he was about to turn around and go back to the account, the guards sent to check on him returned, reporting that everything was normal, and that no suspicious characters appeared in the east. However, he also said a problem, some of the patrol troops have the idea of underestimating the enemy, do not move around as required, and stand in a fixed position to nap.

Wang Ji frowned and ordered the guards to warn them and cheer everyone up. If a similar situation occurs, it must be dealt with in accordance with military law.

The guard turned and went. Wang Ji's mood became worse and worse. He also knew that there was a huge disparity in strength between the two sides, and there was no need to be too close. But in such a skirmish, any negligence can have fatal consequences. He didn't want to give his life because of someone's carelessness and die in this wilderness.

At this moment, the silence was broken by a scream.

Wang Ji Huo Ran looked back and looked at the place where the screams sounded. The sound was extremely poignant, caused by someone stabbing the vital point and severe pain.

The guards also became nervous, and they drew their long knives and raised their shields to protect the king's machine.

"What's all the fuss." Wang Ji shouted, patting a guard on the shoulder. "Go check it out. Be careful, these rangers are used to sneaking up. ”

The guard answered, lowered his body, hid his chest and abdomen behind his shield, and walked towards the place where the screams began. Not long after leaving, I heard another scream, and at the same time someone shouted to call the police.

"Enemy attack, enemy attack!"

Wang Ji narrowed his eyes and looked indifferent. As expected, these rangers did not dare to attack head-on, and instead attacked from both flanks. However, he was not nervous, and he left ten of his most elite guards in front of his tent to guard against this hand. As long as he blocks the opponent's sneak attack and waits for the knight to come back, he can not only repel them, but also inflict a lot of damage.

The rangers, who lacked armor protection, and did not have large shields and strong crossbows, had no power to fight back in front of the cavalry.

The shouts of killing in front became louder and louder, and some knights had already arrived when they heard the news, cutting off the route of the sneak attack rangers approaching the king machine, and kept shooting to assist their companions in attacking.

Wang Ji listened attentively, and he heard a rough voice, which should be Zhu Da, the ranger who is known for his strength in Yangshi. Then, he heard another voice, somewhat familiar. He carefully identified it for a while, and remembered the ranger Han Long who was as famous as Zhang Wei.

Sure enough, it was him.

Wang Ji sneered and whispered a few words in the ear of a guard. The guard understood, called another companion, and ran forward.

"The master has an order to capture Han Long alive."

"your ancestors! If you want to capture Lao Tzu alive, it's not that easy. Han Long shouted angrily, accompanied by the crisp sound of a rapid exchange of weapons.
