After crossing the river, Li Yu went straight to Changsha County with 500 soldiers.

Because it is along the Xiangshui River from top to bottom, it is easy to recognize the way, and the second is to see if you can meet the sailors of the empire.

However, Li Yu rushed all the way south, until the area around Dongting Lake, except for the fishing villages along the coast, and occasionally people went out to beg for a living, but he did not see half of Daqin's building boat sailing by.

This shouldn't be!

Even if the war on the southern front is raging, the waterway route should not be so deserted, or dead silence.

In the face of such a strange situation, Li Yu's expression moved, and he said in his heart: Could it be that there are rebels around here......

The more he thought about it, the more the premonition lingered in Li Yu's heart.

Coincidentally, Zhao Chong also felt that something was wrong with the surrounding environment, so he said: "Master Hou, the surroundings of this Dongting Lake are too quiet, can't there be rebels touching this vicinity?" ”

Zhao Chong had just finished speaking, only to hear the sound of horses' hooves vibrating closer and closer.

"Someone's coming?"

At this moment, Li Yu's crotch was suddenly a little restless, and he couldn't help but snort.

Li Yu's expression changed suddenly, and he hurriedly said: "I don't know if it's friend or foe, let's go to the village and hide my whereabouts, quickly." ”

Although he was not very convinced by the Immortal Monarch Marquis in front of him, who was about the same age as himself, but on the battlefield, Zhao Chong naturally did not dare to be careless.

Seeing that Zhao Zhong waved his hand, the five hundred guards rushed into the village, each finding some house bunkers to block their tracks.

Li Yu took the time to glance at the hidden guards with his eyes, and his heart couldn't help but feel a little nervous.

After all, the five hundred people in front of them had not been on the battlefield for a long time, and some of them had never even seen blood.

And listening to the movement just now, there are two or three thousand people......

Just when the sound of the horse's hooves was getting closer and closer, Zhao Yun, who had been silent, suddenly whispered: "Master Hou, the horse's hoof prints outside are not ...... covered."

Li Yu's face turned red when he heard this, and he was immediately a little embarrassed, so he smiled and said: "It's okay, and let Qin Yi and them wind the crossbow arrows, and wait to see if the people who come know each other before making plans." ”

Before the words fell, I saw a group of people and horses in the distance stop where Li Yu and them were just now.

"General, I heard movement here just now, why is it gone......

The big man with cheeks held the horse's mane with one hand and pulled the horse's rope with the other, and wondered.

The man, who was called the general, was also a little unkempt, as if he had been through a great war, with messy hair and slightly torn armor.

I saw that the general spat and did not speak, but looked around to observe something.

Seeing that his general didn't speak, the cheeky man was a little surprised, and couldn't help scolding: "Grandma's legged, if she hadn't been too careless two days ago and was scattered by Zhang Han's dog's day, why should we be hunting wild food around Dongting Lake." ”

When the other adjutant general heard this, his face changed slightly, and he glanced at the general, and then said: "Lao Pan, what are you talking about, victory or defeat is a common thing in soldiers, not to mention, who knew that Changsha County would suddenly rush out so many iron lumps." ”

"That's right...... If it weren't for that, Changsha County would already be in our pocket. ”

The adjutant general sighed in his heart, and wanted to say something, but he saw his own general suddenly raise his head and said with a cold expression: "There are a lot of horseshoe prints here, be careful." ”

As soon as the general's voice fell, a trace of pride flashed on Lao Pan's face, and he grinned: "I'll just say it, Lao Tzu's scouts don't eat dry rice, and say that a small group of people from the empire have crossed the river today and are running in our direction, right?" ”

The general and the adjutant general did not refute when they heard this, after all, the three of them have worked together for so many years and know the roots.

After being reminded by the general, Lao Pan Sui glanced around and sneered: "Hehe, it seems that this team does not exceed a thousand people, and it is ...... It's not far yet. ”

"General, the last general asks for orders, just give me a thousand men and horses, and I will definitely eat this team that crossed the river."

"Panda, don't be reckless, listen to what the general has to say first."

Seeing that Panda was about to take the lead in the charge again, Mao Feng, who was also a deputy general, hurriedly opened his mouth to stop him.

When Panda heard this, he was a little dissatisfied and said, "Mao Feng, are you afraid that I will rob the credit?" ”

Mao Feng was calm, and naturally thought much more than Panda, then shook his head, and said helplessly: "Grab the merit? It's not Tu Yue people who killed the Huns, which is the merit. ”

As soon as these words came out, Panda's old face froze, and he was choked and had nothing to say.

The general-looking man frowned when he saw the two arguing, and scolded: "Okay, there is a quarrel in this world, it's better to find a way to meet with Qubu." ”

"The general is talking about ......"

This general's name is Peng Xuan, and he was originally one of the partial generals under Ren Huan, the former county lieutenant of Nanhai County.

However, because the deputy general Zhao Tuo seized the handsome seal to launch a rebellion, and killed several disobedient generals, he followed the trend.

As a soldier of Daqin, Peng Li did not expect that one day, he would face off with his own army on the battlefield.

Nobody wanted to do this, but they had to......

You must know that it has been several years since the original expedition to Baiyue.

Now, some high-ranking members of the Lingnan Army have also spread out in the South China Sea, and they have blood ties.

It is precisely because of this that many partial generals were threatened by Zhao Tuo and had to obey him.

Now seeing his former comrades-in-arms and subordinates stepping into the abyss step by step with him, Peng Li hesitated a little and sighed: "It was born from the same root, so why bother." ”

Peng Ling's hesitant expression has been passed by more than once.

But Panda thinks that a soldier must fulfill his duty, so he hesitates, and the appearance of his mother-in-law should not appear in a soldier.

Now seeing Peng Xuan's hesitation, he said anxiously: "General, do you want to fight?" ”

Peng Li's face twitched when he heard this, and he couldn't wait to immediately take a knife and slash Panda.

It was rare for Peng Li to express his wishes so clearly, and the result was incomprehensible.

Looking at Panda's old face, Peng Li couldn't help but scold: Grandma is a bear, do you have a hole in your brain......

But Mingli can't say this, because among the soldiers under him, there may be Zhao Tuo's men who are monitoring everything.

Therefore, Peng Li could only put his mind on the present, so he said: "You two have thought about this imperial team from the empire, why don't you take the waterway but are willing to take the risk of crossing the river to the south." ”

As for why people don't take the waterway, Panda doesn't want to use his brain to guess at all.

When the deputy general Mao Feng heard this, his heart moved, and he said: "The general is too worried, except for the guards of the imperial capital, Daqin can't mobilize any troops to invest in Lingnan, such a team of less than 1,000 people, I'm afraid it is a scout sent by the Nanjun guard." ”

"In that case, Panda, Mao Feng, you two will each take a thousand horsemen to search for the west and north from here, and I will bring a thousand men and horses to search near this Dongting Lake."

Panda and Mao Feng won the generals, so they glanced at each other, hugged their fists and replied: "The last general, Panda, Mao Feng, get the order." ”

Seeing that the two of them led the team to leave, Peng Xuan's expression changed and he looked at the village a mile away to the east.
