Chapter 260: Jiannan Suppresses the Rebellion (29)

On the tenth day of August, the weather under the city of Luzhou is very good, only half of the time is over, the sun rises in the east, the earth is glorious, and it is full of vitality. It's just that an army under the city of Luzhou is like a cold land that has been isolated, and the number is not large, only about 1,500 people.

Mianshui County ordered Zhao Xingjie to ride a horse in front of the formation, and Chen Wansan and Yuan Biao were on both sides. Closely followed by Zhao Maozi, the former bandit lieutenant of Luzhou, has now become the general of the Fengjia Army in Shannan Province. It is a full level higher than when he first met Zhuge Shiwei and others a few months ago, and Zhao Maozi's right shoulder is also wearing a ruby red pentagonal maple badge, and all this has made Zhao Maozi a different person now, even the back of sitting on horseback is quite straight, the original bandit spirit has also been swept away, and the four generals are full of style.

Not far behind Zhao Xingjie, there were two hundred neatly lined up strong men, covered in heavy armor, with a long-length stainless steel Mo knife beside him. In the rear of the Mo Dao team, closely followed by two hundred elite horsemen, although the front and back are staggered, but they are also neat, each person has a refined Tuomu lance, flat on the chest, and the killing aura slowly spreads around. On both sides are the subordinates of Zhao Maozi, the general of Sipin Ningyuan, and more than 1,000 "hundred battles" cavalry, which makes Zhao Maozi, who is now in front of the battle, full of confidence.

The reason that inflated Zhao Maozi's self-confidence the most was not only these, but the thousand cavalry behind him. Of course, this is not all of Zhao Maozi's strength today, but half of it. The reason why only this thousand people are brought is because these people have been on the battlefield, in a short period of time, Zhao Maozi has led the old department and the newly recruited more than 1,000 recruits, sweeping the entire territory of Luzhou, even the Luzhou County in charge of the henchmen of the Luzhou Thorn History was easily beaten down by Zhao Maozi, and now, the Luzhou Thorn History can be regarded as a real commander of the light pole, and several counties under his command have either surrendered or been defeated, and they are completely attributed to Zhao Xingjie, the newly appointed Luzhou Thorn History of the Tang Dynasty.

Although the history of the Luzhou Thorn has become the commander of the light pole, it is only said on the chassis that there are more than 4,000 soldiers and horses in Luzhou City today, although there are no generals who can fight well, but in the opinion of the Luzhou Thorn History, as long as it is not the main force to deal with the Feng family's army, it can barely be handled. As for the defeat and surrender of several counties under its jurisdiction, Luzhou Assassin Shi did not reflect on himself at all, but put all the responsibility on a few county commanders, either the request for help was not timely, or he was timid and cowardly and did not dare to fight with the county magistrates of Mianshui County.

As for the killers sent by Chen Jingxuan to help the Luzhou Assassin Shi before, the Luzhou Assassin was arrogant, and at that time, it was only because Chen Jingxuan behind the other party was polite, and the sudden disappearance of the other party, Luzhou Assassin Shi didn't pay attention to it at all, but he didn't see those killers at all.

Even now that Zhao Xingjie has come to the city, the history of Luzhou Assassin doesn't care at all. Before dawn, the Luzhou Thorn Shi, who was still asleep, received a report from his subordinates, and in a daze, he not only scolded the messenger, but also did not react at all, just ordered to close the city gate and wait until he woke up to make plans.

However, the method of the Luzhou assassination history is crooked, the Fengjia army in Mianshui County does not have any large-scale siege equipment at all, not to mention the behemoth like the siege tower car, even if it is a ladder, it is only twenty or thirty, and it is still brought out with the army to rush out, after all, it is a bit fantastical to attack the city with less than half of the strength of the defenders.

From the time of the approaching Chen, the Fengjia army waited until the end of the hour before seeing a large general flag emerge from the northeast corner of the city wall, and with the slow movement of the general flag, it slowly stopped directly above the city gate. After washing up and having a grand breakfast, the Luzhou Assassin heard a report from his subordinates, saying that Zhao Xingjie led an army of more than 1,000 people to stand under the city for nearly an hour, and the Luzhou Assassin slowly went up to the city to inspect the situation.

"Oh my God! It's finally out! A carriage not far behind Zhao Xingjie, Zhuge Shiwu, who had been impatiently lifting the curtain on his face, saw that the general flag in the city stopped, and then slowly got up and jumped out of the carriage.

Zhao Xingjie looked back, after half a year of getting along, although Zhuge Shiwu is usually 'not good at talking', but Zhao Xingjie still understands from Chen Wansan and Yuan Biao's attitude towards him that Zhuge Shiwu has a very high status in the Feng family's army, and inadvertently heard Chen Wansan mention it, saying that he is the life-saving benefactor of the Marquis of Zhongwu, and there are all kinds of unclear relationships, so Zhao Xingjie has never dared to snub Zhuge Shiwu. Hurriedly pulling the reins and turning the horse sideways, he arched his hands on the horse's back and bowed simply, and asked with a smile: "Mr. Zhuge , did you say that the rebels would go out of the city to fight?" ”

"It'll come out, don't worry!" Zhuge Shiwu greeted the morning light, squinted at the city, waved his hand at Zhao Xingjie casually, signaled that he was not polite, and then walked straight through the people in front of him and walked towards Luzhou City.

"General Chen, General Yuan, what are you doing here, Mr. Zhuge here?" Looking at Zhuge Shiwei's actions, Zhao Xingjie couldn't help but secretly wonder, looked at both sides, and asked.

"I don't know, it's hard to say." Chen Wansan shrugged helplessly and shook his head in response.

"This, Lord Zhao, it's really hard to say, Mr. Zhuge never reveals any news in advance! Even if we asked, he wouldn't say! Yuan Biao also shook his head and smiled bitterly, and at the same time shook his head at Lu Shaode on the side and ordered: "Xiao Lu, pay attention to protect Mr.!" ”

Regarding the answers of the two, in fact, Zhao Xingjie had expected it in advance, but he couldn't help but wonder before asking. Secretly shook his head and sighed, and when he raised his eyes and looked forward again, he had already seen Lu Shaode with seven or eight people following, and he was less than ten meters behind Zhuge Shiwei, which was enough to ensure that if he encountered any danger, he could rush forward to help at the first time.

"Who is this man? What is he doing here? The Luzhou Thorn Shi at the head of the city was also confused by the scene under the city, first saw a cloth shirt Zhuge Shiwei suddenly appeared, and then walked towards his own city, and then saw a few people who were just wearing light armor to follow up, and couldn't help but have a confusion in his mind, and looked at the people behind him blankly and asked what was going on.

None of the people present understood what was being sung in front of them, and even if anyone knew, no one dared to open their mouths to answer the question. Everyone knows very well that the most disdainful thing about this assassin in his own family is that others are stronger than themselves, that is, as the saying goes, he is extremely jealous. If someone answers the question raised by Lord Assassin Shi now, everyone will know what happened to that person without even thinking about it, and as soon as the current matter is over, the light one will be severely reprimanded, and three or five months' salary will be deducted, and the worst thing will be that in a short period of time in the future, all kinds of problems that are not problems will be singled out, demoted or even dismissed.

It is precisely because of this that no one around Luzhou Thorn Shi dares to tell the truth in a dignified manner, which is also the reason why Luzhou Thorn Shi looks down on Zhao Xingjie in front of him at all. Even now that he has seen the elite soldiers under the city with his own eyes, the Luzhou Assassin still maintains his own opinion, and the city is a group of rabble, wanting to take advantage of the chaos to rebel.
