Chapter 385 Ambush in front of the battalion

Lu Ping also looked at Chen Zhi, he was also puzzled, he also couldn't understand why Chen Zhi said this for a while, obviously there was a best strategy not to choose, but the middle strategy was better.

"Because the general's prestige in the army is too high, if the prince wants to completely control Dachu in the future, he vows that he will not tolerate you.

Taking a step back, even if the prince is broad-minded and can tolerate the general, the last general dares to say that his civil and military generals will definitely not be able to tolerate the general.

Because the family is very greedy, they not only want to keep their own interests forever, but also want to get more benefits, so they will always look for opportunities, vow to get rid of the general to prevent future troubles, and at the same time can also divide the general's share of your interests.

Therefore, if the general wants to ensure his own safety and protect his own interests, he must tightly control the 100,000 troops of the Huiji battalion. ”

As a smart person, when Chen Zhigang started and finished speaking, Lu Ping had already figured it out.

At this time, as soon as Chen Zhi finished speaking, he spoke up: "General Chen is extremely worried, Lu Ping agrees very much, and Lu also thinks that the general needs to return to the Huiji camp as soon as possible.

However, at this time, the prince is seriously ill, and he has the heart to hand over Da Chu to the prince, at such an important time, it is best not to be absent, and should respond to all changes with the same, and wait and see the development of the situation for the time being, instead of staying away from Yuzhang City and returning to the Huiji camp immediately.

Therefore, Lu believed that it was best for the general to stay outside the city, and he could advance or retreat.

Otherwise, once the general leaves the city in a hurry and returns to Huiji at this time, he will definitely attract the suspicion and punishment of the prince, Lu really can't understand why General Chen suggested that the general return to the Huiji camp at this time! ”

Lin Ru was also puzzled, and when he heard this, he also looked at Chen Zhi quietly.

Chen Zhichang sighed, and then lowered his voice and said worriedly: "I am worried that in order to allow His Royal Highness the Prince to succeed smoothly, the prince may secretly send his henchmen and generals to secretly go to the Huiji camp to take over the army."

Lin Rust suddenly understood that the soldiers of the Huiji battalion accounted for half of the strength of Great Chu, and they were the most elite army in Great Chu, and their comprehensive combat strength could account for more than sixty percent of the entire Great Chu army.

Therefore, in order to be able to hand over the shift smoothly, and in order to prevent turmoil in Dachu, it is possible for his father to send someone to secretly take over the Huiji camp, or even leave himself in the city and temporarily put himself under house arrest.

But the 100,000 soldiers of the Huiji battalion are all their current strength, and they are also the capital for their future lives. Once he is taken over by his father and handed over to his eldest brother, he will completely lose the opportunity, and he will not even be able to live or die in the future.

Thinking of this, Lin Rust's face couldn't help but change greatly, and he was about to open his mouth to make a decision, but at this time, Lu Ping also thought through it, and just said loudly: "General, General Chen is extremely worried, and he does not agree with General Chen's suggestion."

"Okay, then we'll leave the city right now and rush back to Huiji early tomorrow morning." Lin Rust was already anxious, and immediately ordered.

"Wait, it's not appropriate for the general to go out of the city now!"

Chen Zhi spoke out again to dissuade him, and said: "General, now that the night is dark outside, and there is no bright moon, it is too obvious to rush with a torch at this time, and it is easy for someone with a heart to know."

Moreover, the moon is dark and the wind is high on the night of killing, and the dim night at this time is the best condition for ambushing and killing, and there is no worry that someone will set up an ambush outside the city.

Therefore, the general did not think that it was too dangerous to go out of the city at this time, and that the general would better wait until tomorrow. It would be better to go out of town at dawn tomorrow at the sixth watch.

At that time, the sky will be bright, and it will be much safer for the soldiers to ride their horses without holding torches, and they can see the scenery within a certain range.

If the general chooses to go out of the city at that time, it will also surprise many people, so that he can avoid the eyes of many people with intentions.

Moreover, it was the most sleepy time of the day, and even if there were Assassins in ambush halfway, they would definitely be exhausted after a night's exhaustion.

Not to mention that they must be tired to fall asleep or something, but their vigilance will definitely be lowered because of this. In this way, they are easy to show their feet, it is easier for us to spot them, and it is relatively safer. ”

"It's okay, according to General Chen." After listening to this, Lin Rust pondered for a while, and then changed the order again.

He understood very well that Chen Zhi's worries were not unreasonable, the night was dark at this time, it was indeed not appropriate to go out of the city, and he had to be prepared, otherwise it would not be good to go out of the city recklessly and fall into the trap.

...

The next day, six watches.

At this time, the oblique moon on the mountain in the west will disappear, but the place where the heaven and earth are connected in the east will reveal a bright silver, and the originally dim night in the city will also become hazy and visible at this time, and it is no longer black.

Just a moment ago, Lin Rust stepped out of the gate of the palace with more than 100 of his own soldiers, and rode straight along the street to the north gate of the city.

Before leaving, in order to better reduce the attention of those who have a heart, he accepted Chen Zhixin's suggestion and ordered the soldiers to wrap all the four hooves of the war horse with a layer of linen.

Therefore, although the horses at this time were extremely fast, the sound they made when they stepped on the ground with their hooves was not too big.

The dull sound of horses' hooves faded out of the silent streets at dawn for only a short distance, and it didn't even have time to alarm the merchants and people who lived on both sides of the street.

Seeing that they were about to reach the entrance of the city gate, Lin Rust's team was still extremely fast all the way without any pause.

It turned out that a quarter of an hour before departure, Lin Rust had already ordered a ten-person team to rush to the city gate in advance to prepare, and the thousands of pounds of city gate had already been opened in advance by the ten-person team.

The temporary camp of 3,000 cavalry was not far from the city, and the tents were camped along the south bank of the river, less than three miles from the north gate of the city.

At this time, it is the harvest season, and most of the golden and attractive rice in the fields has been harvested, leaving those rice fields that have not yet had time to be harvested.

A gust of morning wind blew, the rice ears bent down and whispered, looking from a distance, it was faintly visible that there were already people busy working in the middle of many rice fields.

It's the middle of the year, the busiest time of the year, harvesting, sowing, and joining each other. Time is of the essence, and they must seize all the time to harvest the rice, and then immediately turn over the ground and plant the second crop of the year.

Therefore, although it is not really dawn at this time, these people have been working in the fields for a short time, most of them came out on the fifth watch, and even a small number of people have already gone out on the third watch.

However, Lin Rust didn't care about these, at this time he wanted to arrive at the barracks as soon as possible, and then immediately pull out the camp and leave, and return to the Huiji camp with his 3,000 cavalry at full speed, so as not to be raided and lose all the capital.

The team moved all the way, extremely quickly and carefully, but it was always calm, and the ambush assassination that Chen Zhi feared did not appear.

Looking at the camp hundreds of meters away, Lin Rust's originally slightly worried mood finally relaxed completely at this time.

Seeing that he was on a whim, he couldn't help but whip his horse quickly, urging the horse to quickly pass over many of his soldiers and rush to the front camp first.

Lu Ping and Chen Zhi also hurriedly urged the horses to follow.

At this moment, a whirring sound suddenly came faintly from the direction of the field on the left, and Lu Ping immediately secretly said that something was wrong, and immediately turned his head to investigate.

I saw that not far from the left, more than a dozen sharp arrows seemed to appear out of thin air, and they were roaring all the way at high speed, and one of the glittering devouring arrows hit him accurately.

Lu Ping was suddenly shocked, his face changed in an instant, and he had become pale in just a moment.

However, before he could react, the arrow hit his chest, and he fell to the ground with a "snap".

At the same time, a sharp shout sounded on his right side, "Sharp arrows on the left, be careful, general!" ”

It turned out that Chen Zhi also heard the whistling of arrows from the left side at the first time.

However, unlike Lu Ping, he did not turn his head to check, but shouted a reminder at the first time, and at the same time he quickly bowed down and hid on the right side of the war horse, successfully avoiding a catastrophe.
