Chapter 386: Fu Wei Surrenders

Fortunately, Lin Rust's riding skills are good, although he has not yet found that the sharp arrows are coming, but after hearing Chen Zhi's shout, he did not hesitate, he directly bent his waist sideways, and instantly turned over and hid on the right side of the war horse, which was able to dodge the two attacking sharp arrows.

At this time, Chen Zhi shouted again and reminded, "Don't stop, general, go directly to the barracks!" ”

Without his reminder, Lin Rust, who knew that something was wrong, didn't think about stopping the war horse to inspect, but he didn't turn over his horse again, he still hid on the right side of the war horse, and continued to urge the war horse to run towards the military camp for a second.

The gate of the barracks was not far away, and the horses running at full speed only needed a moment to arrive, but the guards at the gate of the barracks at this time were obviously shocked by this sudden change, they had no idea that someone would dare to assassinate their general in front of the barracks, and for a while they were a little unable to react, and forgot to open the gate of the barracks in advance to let Lin Ru rush in directly.

It wasn't until Lin Rust's war horse rushed to the camp gate that they panicked and hurriedly moved the door to block the wood, so angry that Lin Rust wanted to get off the horse and kill a few on the spot to correct the military law, but fortunately, Lin Rust valued his own life more, and was worried that there would be a secret arrow attack, so he didn't care about them on the spot and let them go.

Perhaps it was the assassin's life-saving creed, no matter what the result of the assassination was, they would flee thousands of miles away after one blow, or the location of the assassination was chosen too close to the military camp, and the assassin did not dare to stay longer for the sake of his own life, so after a round of dark arrow attacks, they did not attack again, but fled reflexively, and soon lost their traces.

…

Half an hour later, the barracks made a temporary tent.

After the news was passed by the guards, Chen Zhi, who had just come from the wounded barracks, walked in quickly.

In the middle of the big tent, Lin Rust, the commander of the army, had a gloomy face and was standing in front of the marching map without saying a word.

Behind him, there were several generals in the army, all of whom were Lin Rust's henchmen, and they were also silent at this time.

"Is Lu Ping awake, what did the doctor say?" Seeing Chen Zhi coming in, before Chen Zhi could bow and salute, Lin Rust asked urgently.

Don't look at his gloomy face at this time, in fact, he is still in shock, and there is anger in his heart.

The assassination at the camp gate that happened half an hour ago, if it weren't for Chen Zhi's loud reminder and his own quick response, those two sharp arrows that attacked him would have killed him.

But even so, the 300 soldiers and soldiers who accompanied him still suffered a lot of casualties, and his henchman Lu Ping was even knocked unconscious by an arrow on the spot, and his life and death are still unknown.

Chen Zhi did not hesitate, and replied loudly: "Not yet, the doctor in the army has just taken out the arrow cluster for him, and General Lu is still in a coma."

However, according to the doctor, although General Lu was shot in the right chest by a sharp arrow, the arrow did not hurt his internal organs, and on the surface, General Lu's injuries were not very serious.

It's just that the sharp arrows collected at the assassination site are all glowing with blue light, obviously coated with poison, and the doctor guesses that the same is true of the sharp arrows in General Lu, and the reason why General Lu is still unconscious is probably caused by wound poisoning. ”

"Hateful! Assassination is not enough, poison is even used! Lin Rust couldn't help but be angry, and his right hand slammed into the table, and the table suddenly fell apart with a "bang".

The fierce and sharp gaze immediately turned to Liu Cheng, the left-behind general, and said sharply: "Liu Cheng, who was the general in charge of patrolling outside the camp last night?" Go and cut him down! The Assassin had been hiding in front of the camp gate for a night, and he didn't even notice it, so what was the use of keeping him! ”

“…”

Liu Cheng was just about to open his mouth to answer, but Lin Ru said again: "And the soldiers who were in charge of the guard patrol last night should also be arrested and executed to enforce military law, and by the way, ask them if there is anyone colluding with the assassins!"

"General, please calm your anger!"

Before Liu Cheng could give the order, Chen Zhi had already stepped forward and persuaded him, "There were a lot of soldiers on patrol last night, and if all of them were executed by military law, it might affect the morale of the army." At this time, it is an extraordinary period, and it is really not appropriate to make a big move, so please think twice. ”

The cavalry battalion of 3,000 men occupies a large area, and there are many sentries in the battalion, and there are also many patrol officers outside the battalion, and night patrols need more, at least more than 50 people.

And Chen Zhi already knew that the general in charge of patrolling outside the camp last night was the younger brother of the concubine that Lin Rust loved the most, and Chen Zhi was worried that Lin Rust would regret it afterwards, so he spoke out to dissuade him.

Actually, the main reason is that two of the young men on patrol last night were their own people. These two are also Donglai's secret agents, and they are mainly responsible for delivering news to the outside world for the two brothers, and Chen Zhi is afraid that they will also be killed.

Seeing that Lin Ru was still hesitating, Chen Zhi spoke again: "General, the will of the prince is important. Now that time is very short, let's follow the original plan, carry out the prince's order first, and rush back to the Huiji camp immediately. ”

Father's command?

Lin Ru was stunned for a moment, and then understood that Chen Zhi was reminding himself that he would immediately lead his troops back to Huiji according to the plan discussed last night. It's just that people's hearts are unpredictable, and in order to prevent possible morale turmoil when he ordered the army to return to Huiji, it was said to be his father's order.

Thinking of this, Lin Rust couldn't help but feel a little afraid, and only then did he recover his reason from his anger and understand that the most important thing at this time was to rush back to Huiji immediately, and then firmly control the 100,000 troops of the Huiji camp, instead of continuing to stay here and waste time.

As for the matter of the assassins, as long as the military power is still in hand, there will be a time for investigation in the future, and those derelict patrol soldiers do not need to be in a hurry to be held accountable, staggered today, they can settle accounts whenever they want in the future, after all, they are all soldiers under their own command, and they can't go anywhere.

As soon as he thought of this, his face, which had been gloomy since the assassination, eased a lot, and after a moment's thought, he said: "General Chen is right, my father's order is more important, I would have been blinded by anger, and I almost missed a big thing.

The prince received news that Donglai Sushang was increasing his troops in Yuhang, and they might attack Huiji County again in the near future. ”

Speaking of this, he suddenly raised his voice and ordered sharply: "General Liu Cheng, you immediately notify the whole battalion to prepare for the camp, and the army will set off in half an hour and return to the Huiji camp at full speed."

"Yes! The last will go and arrange it immediately. ”

……

In the lower reaches of the Yangtze River, on the river dozens of miles away from Liyang City, a fleet composed of a thousand stone ships and more than ten small boats is riding the wind and waves, and they are moving rapidly in the direction of Liyang City.

The owner of this fleet was none other than Du Fuwei, the leader of the Jianghuai Rebels who had just returned from Donglai City.

In many confrontations a few months ago, the Liyang army under his command was defeated and defeated many times by the allied army commanded by Xie Yingdeng, not only the county of Danyang County, Jiangning City, was taken by the allied army, but more than 100,000 troops were also suppressed in the area of Liyang County.

Later, after many negotiations between the two sides, he finally decided to lead his soldiers to join the Allied Army.

And just half a month ago, he took a boat to Donglai City, talked to Su Shang about various arrangements after joining the Allied Army, and met with Empress Dowager Xiao and the current Sui Emperor Yang Hao by the way.

According to the original plan, he would stay in Donglai City and enter the Alliance Military Academy to study for half a month, and then return to Liyang City to assist Xie Yingdeng and others in reorganizing his more than 100,000 Liyang troops.

It's just that a few days ago, Su Shang suddenly received a message from Xie Yingdeng, saying that Fu Gongyou had abnormal movements, and the Liyang Army might have changed, so Su Shang personally ordered him to suspend his studies and return to Liyang City immediately to deal with it.
