177. Bandit Night Attack
When Pingnan was in full swing, Jinghu South Road and Kuizhou Road, which were adjacent to the north of Guangxi South Road, and Guangnan East Road to the east, there was no movement. In the battle of Guangnan West Road, Ali Hague's entire army was annihilated, Guangxi and Hunan were emptied, Guangdong Kong Yuan suffered heavy casualties on the expedition, and Boyan was also injured. Kuizhou Lu Yuanjun has just taken Chongqing Mansion, and I am afraid that he is also busy resting.
In this era, fighting a war is not something that can be fought just by fighting, and it often takes longer to prepare.
Therefore, Guangxi is worry-free in a short time.
In comparison, Leizhou and Qiongzhou are more dangerous.
Now it has been more than a year since Zhang Hongfan and Li Heng were defeated and retreated to Jiezhou Island, and it is very likely that the Yuan army will regroup and march by sea.
Of course, this is also less likely. According to the situation, the greatest possibility for the Yuan army is to wait until all the armies are ready, and then attack the Song at the same time.
But in any case, we still have to guard against it. The soldiers were treacherous, and no one could figure out what the Yuan Emperor Kublai Khan would plan.
Now that there is only half a month left before the end of the year, Zhao Dongting finally plans to return to Leizhou.
These days, Concubine Yang Shu in the Leizhou Palace has sent several waves of envoys to urge him to go back, after all, he is the emperor of the Great Song Dynasty, and at the end of the year, there are many things that he needs to deal with.
In the past, the situation was special, and there were many things that the imperial court could save and save, but now it is different, the imperial court has a foothold in Leizhou, and those things have been put on the agenda again by the ministers. In the imperial court, almost every minister paid attention to those red tape, because they were raised with that kind of education.
This made Zhao Dongting quite distressed, some ancient methods, in his opinion, were really unnecessary, such as sacrificing to the sky or something. However, if you want to change the ancient laws and customs that your subjects have been accustomed to for hundreds of years, this is by no means something that can be completed in a short period of time, and it is even more difficult than resisting the Yuan, and it requires more water grinding.
For example, in this era, the order of parents is emphasized, and the words of the matchmaker are that if Zhao Dongting suddenly issues an order to advocate free love, can he really advocate it?
Not to mention the people, just the saliva of those scholars and doctors can drown Zhao Dongting, and there will be a few direct ministers who will die on the main hall for advice, and die for Zhao Dongting to see. The people of this era respect the ancient law too much, just like the Lord of Baicao Valley adheres to the teachings of the patriarch in the valley.
Speaking of which, the idea of not seeking change that led to the seclusion of the country and the catastrophe caused by the seclusion of the country in modern times was actually popularized among the subjects at this time. And the Mongols were not educated like this, so they were fierce as tigers and kept forging ahead.
In this way, the Southern Song Dynasty died, but in fact, it was not unjust. Those who do not seek to forge ahead will be surpassed sooner or later.
Zhao Dongting wants to change, but he has to change slowly, subtly. The thinking of the people is actually the most difficult thing to control.
Therefore, although Zhao Dongting is the emperor, he now has to act according to the original ancient law, which is his helplessness.
Just half a month before the end of the year, Zhao Dongting set off from Pingnan County.
There are only the Flying Dragon soldiers around him, as well as the masters of the Wuding Hall that has just been established.
And the forbidden army in front of the palace, the guards and the pro-army, etc., were all left in Pingnan by Zhao Dongting.
Guangxi still has a lot of things to deal with, such as persuading the surrender of soldiers, gathering the people, accepting the Chengyi army, the good hands of the rivers and lakes, and so on, and the military generals headed by Wen Tianxiang can only stay in Pingnan and act as Zhao Dongting with full authority to deal with the practical problems that arise after the promulgation of the three decrees.
When the sky was just showing the white of the fish's belly, Zhao Dongting had already led hundreds of people to the gate of Pingnan County.
On this trip back to Leizhou, he didn't want to make a big fuss, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble.
Wen Tianxiang and others sent the chariot to the gate of the city and said goodbye to Zhao Dongting.
Zhang Ru, Le Wufei and Zhao Dongting sat in the chariot together. Surrounded by Zhao Da, Zhao Hu and other flying dragon soldiers, as well as those Wudingtang masters Gong Wei.
Today, there are a total of forty-seven masters who have joined Wudingtang. Although there are no top masters among them, there are really outstanding ones.
Seeing that the sky was getting brighter, Zhao Da waved his hand and shouted, "Go!" ”
Hundreds of people were all patting their horses and marching towards Leizhou without hurrying.
Inside the chariot, Zhao Dongting suddenly smiled and said, "Senior, I don't know how the little girl is doing now?" ”
Not to mention, after leaving Leizhou for such a long time, now thinking of Lewu and Ying'er, he really feels a little warm in his heart, and he is looking forward to going back.
Le Wuyuan also showed a soft smile in his eyes, and said, "That girl has no heart and no lungs, what else?" ”
Zhao Dongting smiled: "Haha, senior, if Le Wu knew that you said this about her, she would definitely have to pull your beard." ”
Le Wuwu also laughed out loud without committality.
……
Four days passed quickly, and the group arrived at Bobai County, Yulin Prefecture, which is south of Deguang South West Road.
At this speed, it will take about six days to reach Haikang County, Leizhou.
At this time, there are only ten days left before the end of the year.
When the night was dark, under the order of Zhao Dongting, hundreds of people stopped marching and set up camp at the foot of the mountain.
Everyone just ate dry food to deal with it, and there were flying dragon soldiers who were fetching water by the stream not far away, and after Zhao Dongting finished washing, he read the military book in the chariot again.
He felt that he still had a lot to do and didn't want to waste any time.
Time passed slowly, and all the flying dragon soldiers and Wuding Hall masters gradually fell asleep, leaving only a few bonfires and more than ten people keeping vigil.
The night breeze passed slowly, adding a bit of mystery.
But it was not a quiet day.
In the middle of the night, there was a sudden sound of horses' hooves, and it was getting closer and closer, straight towards the place where Zhao Dongting and they were camping.
The Wyvern soldier who was keeping vigil stood up from the campfire and shouted, "Alert! Alert! ”
The soldiers and Wudingtang masters who were sleeping in the camp tent all woke up in an instant, and the original snoring disappeared in an instant.
Zhao Dongting hadn't slept yet, and when he saw Dele getting up for free, both of them had dark faces.
Zhao Dongting said: "Senior, who do you think it will be?" ”
Le Wufu's ears twitched slightly, and after a few seconds, he said: "The sound of horses' hooves is chaotic, it shouldn't be an army." ”
"Hmm."
Zhao Dongting put down the book of war in his hand, "I heard that bandits are rampant in this place in Yulin Prefecture, I can't say that we can see it tonight." ”
"Huh?"
As he spoke, a bright light suddenly lit up in his eyes, "Senior, if it's really a bandit, can you let me try my skills?" ”
Now that his internal strength is small, his swordsmanship has also improved, and he understands the sword intent even more, but he also wants to try the taste of fighting with people.
Thinking about the night when he led the Wyvern soldiers to attack the camp at night, he was scared at the time, but now that he thinks about it, he feels a little enthusiastic.
Zhao Dongting knew very well in his heart that masters could not be cultivated by cultivation. Only in actual combat can swordsmanship be mastered.
Le Wuwu groaned slightly, and said: "If there is no strong person among the bandits, it doesn't hurt for the emperor to try, and the old man will protect you at that time." ”
While they were talking, the sound of the horses' hooves had come close to the tent, and then suddenly stopped.
The snorting of horses can be heard in the night breeze.
The Wyvern soldiers are on guard.
Zhao Dongting lifted the curtain and saw that there were a lot of torches outside, roughly counting, there must be hundreds, obviously there are a lot of people on the other side.
Zhao Da shouted outside the chariot: "Who are you waiting for?" ”
One of the knights shouted: "Lao Tzu is a good man on the mountain next to the wind, you people pass by Lao Tzu's territory, don't you want to find death?" ”
"Heroes?"
Zhao Da laughed wildly, "Even you rabble, dare to call yourself a hero?" ”
He is now the commander of the Flying Dragon Army, and he has rushed and killed countless times in the army, and his vision is high, so he naturally will not take these bandits in his eyes.
"How daring!"
The bandit leader shouted angrily, and the bandits next to him scolded angrily, saying anything ugly, and also aimed the bow and arrow in his hand at the flying dragon soldiers and the masters of the martial arts.
"Drink!"
The Wyvern soldiers were naturally not afraid, and they all raised their shields.
Those Wudingtang masters had a leisurely demeanor, and they didn't take these bandits to heart.
It is true that there are masters among the bandits, but there are very few, and the vast majority of them are desperate people.
Seeing that they were so tough, the bandits were a little stunned.
Next to the bandit leader, a person who looked like a dog-headed military advisor said softly: "Leader, the idea is hard, I'm afraid it's a prick." These people look like they were soldiers. ”
The bandit leader was also at a loss, but when he turned his head to look at the hundreds of people behind him, there was a look of greed in his eyes that could not be concealed.
He said in a low voice: "With that master following Lao Tzu, Lao Tzu may not be able to beat them." But the master said that this chariot and horse carried innumerable treasures, and he only wanted the lives of these people, and the treasures would be ours. As long as he robbed those treasures, how many people would Lao Tzu want to pull can't pull horses? ”
When the dog-headed military advisor heard the word "master", his eyes shrank slightly, revealing a look of extreme fear.
The man broke into their cottage alone, but killed them all in horror.
That long sword left an indelible mark on the bandits and his heart.
Thinking of this, he didn't dare to say more. If you don't fight with this team, it's that person, and I'm afraid it will kill him.
He looked vaguely at the back of the horse team.
In the slightly dim firelight, an extremely cold face loomed.
If Zhao Dongting and Le saw it for free, they would naturally recognize it, this face is a departure song.
He hadn't even given up assassinating Zhao Dongting.
