Chapter 497: It Can't Just Be Forgotten

When Yanshan Camp built the cottage, Yu Chaozong had already explored the way out, but how could there be so many perfect things in the world.

If you want to have the mountain in front of you that is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and there must be enough places to build cottages, it is impossible to ensure a wide and easy way to retreat.

Otherwise, can this retreat be called a retreat? That was just another direction of attack when the enemy was besieging it.

In fact, it is not a road at all, it just leads to the back mountain.

After crossing the past, in a hidden place on the other side of the mountain, there is a small camp built by the Yanshan camp, which is not large in scale and has some grain storage.

The Tingwei army protects everyone from the back road into the mountain, and moves to the back mountain, and needs to open the way to move forward.

Zhuang Wushu has been silently swinging his knife in front of him to chop down the trees that block his progress, without saying a word.

Seeing him like this, the more Gao Xining thought about it, the more he felt that something was wrong.

Before, Zhuang Wushu told him that Brother Yu was going to stay and burn down the grain warehouse, and then he would follow, saying that Brother Yu didn't plan to leave anything for those white thieves.

However, the team had been walking through the mountains for about two hours, and no one had followed behind, and the more Zhuang was invincible, the more it looked like he was deliberately pretending to be calm.

Zhuang Wushu was a person who didn't talk much, and he insisted on going to the front to open the way, but he didn't want to say too much to Gao Xining.

He knew that Gao Xining was too smart, and he would lose if he said too much, and Yu Chaozong explained it to him like this.

Yu Chaozong told him to just open the way silently and take Gao Xining and the others to leave safely.

"Brother Zhuang!"

Gao Xining finally caught up, ran behind Zhuang Wushu and shouted, "Brother Yu won't catch up?" ”

She asked.

Zhuang Wuving's body stiffened suddenly, and after a while, his shoulders began to tremble slightly.

"How could it be ......?"

He replied with three words without looking back, and then continued to swing his knife and slash.

"Actually, there's only one way out, right?"

Gao Xining asked again.

Before, Yu Chaozong asked Zhuang Wushu to lie to Gao Xining that there were two paths to the back mountain, one was that Zhuang Wushu was taking them now, and the other was from the granary to the back mountain.

Zhuang Wudi told Gao Xining that after Brother Yu burned down the granary, he would take the other brothers to the back mountain from another path, and then meet at an agreed place on the north mountain.

Zhuang Wushu stopped again, he didn't dare to look back, he knew that as soon as he turned around, Gao Xining saw his eyes and knew that he was lying.

"Brother and sister."

Zhuang Wushu was silent for a moment and then stepped forward: "Keep walking." ”

Gao Xining looked back, the fire on the side of the cottage had already burned, the smoke was billowing out, and Brother Yu should be gone.

She turned around, raised her right hand and shouted, "Ting Weijun!" ”

"In!"

His men answered.

"Brother and sister!"

Zhuang turned his head fiercely, already in tears.

"Big brother said, he's big brother."

Zhuang Wushu raised his hand and wiped it on his eyes, because of the force, his eyes were a little painful, he was very uncomfortable, and he almost bit his lip to speak.

"If you go back now, will the eldest brother give his life in vain? What about them? What about Dean Gao? ”

Zhuang Wushu looked at the people who followed behind, Mrs. Xiahou, Xiahou Yuli, Yuan Jiabei's family, Liu Yingyuan's family, Aunt Wu's family, and Mrs. Sun's family......

Gao Xining's hand stopped in mid-air.

Zhuang Wushu let out a long breath and said, "Live up to the dead, live up to the living." ”

He turned, and continued to split the branches and weeds that blocked their path, the backs of his hands covered in blood, but he didn't care.

"Brother and sister, the eldest brother recognized you as a brother and sister...... The eldest brother said, if you guessed, let me ask you, if Li Qi comes back and sees that the cottage has been breached, what will he do first? ”

Zhuang Wushu asked as he walked.

Gao Xining knew that the first thing Li Qi did was definitely not to take people to fight the White Mountain thieves with an army of 200,000, but to go to the back mountain to see how many people still survived.

"I know."

Gao Xining's hand was slowly lowered, and the people of the Tingwei Army were still watching her.

Gao Xining turned around, knelt down in the direction of Yanshan Ying, kowtowed heavily, and as she knelt down, Xiahou Yuli and the others also knelt down.

A neat voice came, and the men of the Imperial Lieutenant Army turned and stood solemnly, saluting towards the place where the smoke was billowing.

Their right hand is placed on their hearts, but they can't cover their hearts and pain.

"Tingwei Army."

Gao Xining got up and looked ahead.

"Keep going."

She shouted loudly, her voice already slightly hoarse.

Zhuang Wudi's words reminded her...... Li Qi would definitely not go directly to the White Mountain Thief after he came back.

Even if his 8,000 men returned and attacked the 200,000 Baishan Army with the assistance of the Youzhou Army, it would be a self-defeating disaster.

Li Qi is not a god, he can't scatter beans into a soldier like a god, and he can't let 8,000 people attack 200,000 people and win a big victory.

He will rush to the back mountain as soon as possible to see who survived, if he arrives at the back mountain and doesn't see anyone, that's when he and the white mountain thieves are desperate.

Li Qi, who has nothing, how can he live alone.

Gao Xining was also sure that Li Qi would even disband the team of 8,000 people and go alone to take revenge.

Either kill the enemy or be killed by the enemy.

In this world, no one can break into an army of 200,000 people alone and not die.

Zhuang Wushu heard the military order given by Gao Xining, so he let out a long breath again and continued to slash forward.

Yanshan Camp.

It was burning everywhere, and the fire was getting bigger and bigger.

Lao Shuize, the leader of the Baishan Army, walked up slowly, glanced at the person who died but did not fall, and his eyes were shocked.

"He is Yu Chaozong?"

Lao Shuizezai looked at this person carefully, and said to himself: "Didn't you say that he had died in Jizhou?" It turns out that he has come back alive......"

The subordinate said: "It should be confirmed that this person is Yu Chaozong, he said before he died...... The only regret of my Yu Chaozong is that he was only called the king of heaven, not the emperor of people, this person coughed up blood while fighting before he died, but he also killed more than 100 of our brothers, and he should whip his body to avenge his brothers! ”

Lao Shuize pointed at Yu Chaozong, shook his head and said, "Bring the corpse here, don't be humiliated." ”

His subordinates immediately ran over and carried Yu Chaozong's body back.

After a moment of silence, Lao Shuize ordered: "Tidy up his body, clean his face, change his clothes, find wood to make a coffin, and bury him here...... Although this man was defeated, he made me admire. ”

His subordinates were puzzled: "He killed so many of our brothers, why did he bury him?" ”

Lao Shuize pointed to the place where Yu Chaozong was standing before: "If my guess is correct, he will not retreat to the death, it is for the people he cares about to keep this path and do righteous deeds, who else can do this?" He's dead......"

When Lao Shuize said this, he looked at Yu Chaozong's corpse and hugged his fists: "I respect you, you deserve the title of the Heavenly King of the Green Forest Road." ”

Lao Shuize's subordinates cleaned Yu Chaozong's body and cleansed his face, and took out thirty-nine arrows from the corpse, in addition, there were at least seventeen or eighteen wounds on Yu Chaozong's body, and the blood had been exhausted.

They found a wooden plank and nailed it into a coffin, and one of the young men saw a half-burned flag not far away, and could tell how many of the Green Eyebrows were on it

Word.

So he picked up the remnant flag, shook the soil on the flag, and put it in the coffin, Yu Chaozong's corpse chest.

He was in his twenties, and he looked a little dignified.

"Father."

He looked at Lao Shuize and stopped talking.

This person's name is Lao Yi, and he is the only son of Lao Shuize.

After Lao Shuize glanced at him, he knew that he had something to say, but it was difficult to say it in front of so many people, so he nodded and said, "You come with me." ”

Lao Yi immediately followed Lao Shuize, and the two of them walked down the mountain road one after the other.

"What do you want to say?"

Lao Shuize asked.

Luo Yi said in a heavy tone: "I think we are wrong. ”

"Huh?"

Lao Shuize stopped, looked back at Lao Yi and asked, "Why do you say that?" This battle will destroy the Yanshan battalion, and the name of my Baishan Army will inevitably be loud throughout Jizhou, and even spread throughout the world, why do you say we are wrong? ”

Lao Yi said: "The child thinks that we may have fallen for Luo Geng's scheme...... We won the battle, but there were no 3,000 people in this cottage, and we used 200,000 troops to fight 3,000 people, and the victory was not dignified or honorable. ”

Lao Shuize frowned.

Loy knew that his words would upset his father, but he still mustered up the courage to continue.

"Father, the Yanshan camp and we have no enmity, if we want to say that it is to seize the territory and fight for the world, the two armies will face off against each other in the future, the victory or defeat depends on the number of fate, who should win and who should lose, there is no right or wrong."

"But now, although we have destroyed the Yanshan Camp, will we really have a good reputation? The people in the north of Jizhou all remember the good of Yu Chaozong, and after we finish this battle, the people of Jizhou will regard us as enemies, and this may be what Luo Geng wants to see. ”

Hearing this, Lao Shuize's face changed significantly, he really didn't think of this layer, he just wanted to make a name for himself in Jizhou as soon as possible.

And he doesn't care if it's exposed or not, the news that the Yanshan camp was destroyed by him will reach Jizhou for half a month at the earliest, and at that time he has already led troops to Jizhou City.

Even if Yanzhou Jiedu made Zhou Shiren know, it was too late, and his army had already joined forces with the Youzhou army to form a trap against the Yanzhou army.

"Father."

Lao Yi continued: "The strength of the Yanshan battalion is definitely more than two or three thousand, and I also asked the captured soldiers of the Green Eyebrow Army before, and they said that the current big boss is called Li Qi, and he has gone to the northwest with eight thousand people. ”

He looked at Lao Shuize and said, "Even if we don't care about our reputation or not, and don't care what the people think, our biggest mistake in this battle is ......."

Word for word, Loy said, "We don't have ...... Chop the grass and eradicate the roots. ”

Lao Shuize stopped, his eyes flickering.

After a long time, Lao Shuize asked, "Then what do you mean?" ”

Lao Yi said: "Since the infamy must be memorized, there is nothing to scruple about now, the cottage has been burned by us, and the people who can be killed have also been killed by us, and it is pointless to think about anything else." ”

"But if you can't cut the grass and eradicate the roots, there will be endless troubles."

Rau Yi gripped the hilt of the knife and strained his hand slightly, because what he was thinking about was a little fierce.

"That Li Qi is the righteous brother of Yu Chaozong, as long as he doesn't die, he will take revenge."

He looked at Lao Shuize and said, "We can't just forget it, otherwise we will be scolded again, and we will leave hidden dangers." ”

Lao Shuize pondered for a moment and then nodded: "I will leave you 50,000 people, you lead the troops to set up an ambush here, if that Li Qi comes back, you will kill them all, and then go to Jizhou to join me." ”

He exhaled slowly, and said to Lao Yi with a smile: "You are smarter than you and me, it seems that I will ask you more in the future...... I'll leave Pu Daoying for you again, Di Chun has the courage of ten thousand people, and I will be your helper in the future. ”

Lao Yi hugged his fists: "The child will definitely destroy the remnants of the enemy in the Yanshan camp as soon as possible, and then go to Jizhou to join his father." ”
