Chapter 109: Hype
What does Hu Linzhi mean by writing this letter to his staff, yes, I have a very good relationship with that Fan Li, what if I tell him directly? I'm afraid of hurting his face, now I'll tell you about this, you are by Fan Li's side, you see this opportunity, you are tactful, you tell him a little information, you have to persuade his brother, if your family wants to buy this mountain, you will give the ancestral property of others, it is not appropriate, and now the people are complaining very much. Ah, you persuade Fan Li, let him also persuade his family, settle this matter, otherwise this matter is not good, and the impact is not good.
So this letter let Fan Liang look at it, friends, we said that Fan Liang is a person who prides himself on being a clean official, you say that he looks at this, how do you feel?
That night, he wrote home that year, saying that the old and young in the family were accustomed to pampering and were really afraid. It's my God, I'm so careful outside, and the people at home don't let me worry at all, and I'm scared when I think about it.
So you see, this is the time when the rebel army came to attack from three directions, Fan Li's mood. Is it difficult? It's too hard. In October, Li Xiu and a series of troops of these rebel armies fully launched an offensive, and the preparations for this attack were very complete, and soon the rebel army surrounded Qimen on three sides, and this situation had been formed.
Now Fan Li really feels that the problem is serious, hurry up, I'll clean up how many people I have now, and then see how many people this person I can use, I must use it on the blade, the other party is tens of thousands, we have thousands here, this battle is really not easy to fight.
At the critical moment, Fan Liang began to tell the hexagram, Fan Li's fortune telling, in his personal experience, this is very common, once he has something that he can't ask, he can't make mistakes, he starts to tell the hexagram.
But to be honest, this is also a spiritual sustenance, so what is the result of his hexagram, saying that the explanation given to him on the face of this hexagram is that he has fallen into a trap, but as long as he is sincere, he will definitely be able to get through, and the situation will be smooth.
Fan Li's heart is only slightly settled, of course, what about this hexagram, after calculating it, I will also give everyone a relief pill, all in all, this is what it means. In that case, let's be cautious and take it step by step to see how we can break out of our bloody path. As soon as Ma Ting still has people, hurry up and transfer 1,300 people to me, Ma Ting is very obedient this time, transferred about 1,800 people, and traveled 110 miles in one day, equivalent to 55km, and came to Qimen and Fan Li's old camp.
So at this time, Fan Liang sent this soldier out, saying that you are going to fight the rebel army in Yang Zhanling. Because this terrain is the most important place, if this place is lost, the old camp of Qimen will definitely not be able to keep it, and he can only die to repay Jun's kindness.
The result? Within a day, the news came back, saying that it was a complete victory, killing four or five thousand thieves. When Fan Li heard this, he was so happy, oops, I'll go, it's great, I finally don't have to die.
But then I thought about it again, something is wrong, Ma Ting has a total of more than 1,700 people, why can this battle kill four or five thousand people! And kill so many people in one day. Is it true? Let's say that these people are not the people sent by the rebels to scare us and deceive us after capturing us.
He sent someone to investigate again, and when the person who went to investigate came back, he said that it was true that the rebel army had withdrawn from Yang Zhanling.
At this time, Fan Li was a little convinced, but he was still very skeptical, why do you want such people? The next day, people were sent to count the dead bodies, and a search revealed 645 bodies. That's a lot different from four or five thousand.
But what about the person who was sent out to count the corpses, he is also very good at doing things, what do people say, what about these 645 corpses, they are on the surface, they are in the house, they are drowned, they are in the river, or they have been buried, we haven't checked, and there may still be.
But friends, let's think about it, how many rooms can hold three or four thousand dead bodies? Who fights for a day, and then kills and buries people after killing and bringing things together? What river can drown three or four thousand people in one day? Obviously, this number is not enough, but the people who count the numbers are not happy to offend people.
Do you want Fan Liang to say anything about offending people? He didn't say it, he didn't talk about it, in the past, Fan Liang didn't rub sand in his eyes, but now he doesn't do this, he will be an official, not only will he not break it, but he will exaggerate it wantonly.
Talk about how important it is for us to do this thing at this moment, how well we are doing, how to write about it? The armies followed and hunted, the corpses of thieves were all over the field, and blood flowed into the canals. Our soldiers were very brave, chasing the enemy all the way, killing the enemy everywhere with corpses.
The remaining bandits ran wildly, and the equipment was abandoned! Beat this gang of bandits, even lost their weapons, and ran around!
The way back is broken, the thieves all flee along the rock, and the pursuers of our army go out of the rock, fold their faces and hang branches, scatter and wail, and flee to the outside of the ridge. They said that we cut off their retreat, and these soldiers didn't recruit them, so they ran to the edge of the cliff, ran to the side of the mountain, ran to the side of the stone and hid, and we chased them out, but we drove them over, and when we came back to chase them, we looked at them, oh, it was because they hid in the cliff, hid on this stone, hid on the side of this mountain, and they fell down, and then some of them fell to their deaths, and some of them hung on the tree without falling to their deaths, and some of them were relatively lucky. Crying and shouting, he ran away, creating a scene of a brave soldier defeating the enemy.
In any case, Fan Li was on a road, on a certain encirclement point, and he could be regarded as winning this battle. But there are still some encirclement points left, and this matter still has to be continued, and the battle has to be fought slowly.
Fan Liang is facing this kind of pressure, facing this kind of pressure on the battlefield, he can stand it. However, the literati in the yamen of the governor of Liangjiang, those small soldiers and officials who keep accounts and count, they have never seen this kind of scene of two armies fighting, and they have never experienced the situation of being in front of the enemy.
These people are really powerless, all day long, when they hear about it, as soon as they hear that the battle has been won, they will be happy, and if the battle is lost, they will not dare to sleep if they are afraid, and they will listen to this piece of screams and that piece of screaming every day in the city, and they will be especially afraid to see that there is flesh and blood flying on both sides.
What to do? Just prepare to run and escape, this is the nature of human beings in psychology, and they want to escape when they encounter some problems that they can't face. But if you want to escape at this time, the light is not honorable, it is indeed dishonorable.
