After Lan Ziyi finished speaking, he looked at Tao Zhuhu. Although Tao Zhuhu did not directly object, Lan Ziyi saw that Tao Zhuhu's brows had been frowning and did not let go.

Lan Ziyi asked:

"Big brother, do you think there's something wrong?"

Tao Zhuhu pursed his lips and thought about it, and replied:

"The young master is the commander of the first army, and if he says what he says, he will do what the young master says."

Lan Ziyi smiled:

"Why do you have to see each other like this, you and my brother don't need to be so clear, right?"

Tao Zhuhu hugged his fists and replied:

"It is already a great honor for our brothers to be willing to treat the three of us as brothers in private, and now that we are in the army, my young master, your words are military orders, and Zhuhu is not qualified to question the commander's orders."

Tao Zhulu on the side also whispered to Lan Ziyi:

"Young master, since you have already given the order, don't change it again, we will meet the thieves here."

Lan Ziyi knew that Tao Zhuhu was meaningful to his arrangement, he was curious and wanted to continue to ask, but now the two brothers asked Lan Ziyi not to ask again, and Lan Ziyi also reacted that the two of them were maintaining their authority in the army, so he ordered loudly:

"Send someone to the front to keep watch, and the others are here on standby, ready to meet the thieves!"

Immediately after hearing Lan Ziyi's order, several horsemen and horses rushed north along the road, while others got off their horses and led their horses back into the forest.

Lan Ziyi also got off the horse, and after handing over the horse to the sergeant next to him, Lan Ziyi grabbed Tao Zhuhu, who was walking behind him, and asked in a low voice:

"What does Big Brother think is wrong?"

Tao Zhuhu looked back around, and when Tao Zhulu saw this, the guard next to the two said:

"Don't worry, everyone else is busy."

Hearing this, Tao Zhuhu nodded to this Tao Zhulu, and then said to Lan Ziyi:

"What the young master said is indeed reasonable, but what if the thief doesn't have a long brain and goes to the capital?"

兰子义 says:

"The walls of the capital are tall, and as long as the demon thief dares to go, he will definitely be touched and lose his teeth, which just saves us things."

桃淚虎 says:

"But young master, is that the capital?"

Lan Ziyi still didn't understand what Tao Zhuhu wanted to say, and then said:

"There are few defenders in the capital, but the thieves have no attack tools, and if they are lightly armed, they will be sent to death, and it is not a trivial matter for those defenders in the city to deal with the live targets outside?"

桃淚虎 says:

"The young master is right, but the court is to destroy the thieves to use us, if the thieves and soldiers come to the city, it will cause panic in the capital, and when the time comes, the imperial history and the adults in the court will definitely criticize the army, if you know that the young master is defending in front of the capital gate, what will happen to the young master? This is not something that can be explained clearly in one or two sentences that are conducive to the battle of the army.

Young master, you only sent the captives back to the capital last night, and today the thieves went to knock on the door, didn't you slap your own face? “

Lan Ziyi slapped his head when he heard this, he Lan Ziyi put the affairs of the court at the forefront on weekdays, why did he have a head convulsion this time and didn't expect this.

After a long sigh, Lan Ziyi hurriedly called the sergeant over there to bring his horse over, and then said to Tao Zhuhu:

"Big brother really thinks about it. The next time there is such a situation, say it to your face, don't hide it for me anymore to save face, my face is not so important. ”

Then Lan Ziyi said to the soldiers who were about to retreat into the forest:

"Re-array, we'll march to the capital now!"

Early in the morning, the order was changed twice in a row, and the sergeants were all dizzy by this kind of command that changed the order every day, and some sergeants asked Lan Ziyi:

"Wei Hou, what the hell is going on?"

Lan Ziyi replied with a straight face:

"The capital is important, we can't stop here. It's mine, and if you want to blame it, blame me. ”

The sergeants heard that Lan Ziyi was in a bad mood and didn't dare to continue to ask, so they all shut up and got on the horse to reorganize the team.

Just as the sergeants of the Xiji Tiger Battalion were lining up, there was a rush of footsteps in the rain and fog in the distance, and Lan Ziyi sighed and said:

"Let's hope the thieves are coming on our side."

As soon as Lan Ziyi finished speaking, he led all the scouts who had been sent out before to appear from the rain, and the group drove their horses to Lan Ziyi quickly.

Lan Ziyi hurriedly stepped on the horse, and as soon as his butt landed on the saddle, the horse stopped in front of him.

Tao Zhutu gasped and clenched his fists to salute, but Lan Ziyi stopped him and said:

"There's no need for these, the third brother is about to say if the demon thief is here?"

Tao Zhutu's breathing had not yet adjusted, and he choked in his throat and couldn't speak, so he had to nod his head to confirm Lan Ziyi's question.

Lan Ziyi then asked:

"Where did the thief go? Is it coming from our side? ”

Peach Rabbit gasped at this time and said:

"I waited on the shore until most of the thieves landed before turning around and coming back, and the thieves and thieves were heading towards the capital, not coming this way."

Lan Ziyi closed his eyes painfully when he heard this, and Tao Zhulu counted down his brother and said:

"Why did you wait so long to come back and report? You won't come back until the thief striker has departed. Is there a stage in the demon thief array to make you linger? ”

Tao Zhutu came back to report but was scolded by splitting his head and covering his face, and he didn't know what happened, and explained aggrievedly:

"I want to see the thief's formation clearly and then come back and say, why don't you send me out for something?"

Lan Ziyi said:

"The third brother did the right thing, the second brother don't scold. It's my fault, it's my command that is wrong. ”

Tao Zhuhu said at this time:

"The thief will not be on the shore soon, and we should be able to catch up."

Lan Ziyi nodded, and then ordered in a loud voice:

"Brethren! Come with me to kill the thief! ”

After that, he grabbed the horse's belly violently, and the horse took the lead and rushed out, followed by the Tao brothers, and the other soldiers followed behind, waving their horsewhips and rushing out.

After walking away, Tao Zhutu informed the others of the demon thief army on horseback, according to Tao Zhutu, there were about 20,000 thieves who landed in the east of Lan Ziyi, and the large and small ships were almost all over the shore, and many ships were washed downstream by the river before they could land on the shore.

A team of 20,000 people landed on the shore, and Tao Zhutu still waited until most of the people had already landed, and only came back to inform Lan Ziyi and them after the striker drove eastward, even if the horses ran faster than people, these demon thieves should have traveled some distance to the east by now. If Lan Ziyi fails to catch up with the demon thieves in time, or releases any of the demon thieves to the foot of the capital, it will be considered a disadvantage for Lan Ziyi to be a thief, and according to the excited appearance of these adults in the court now, it is estimated that it will be difficult for Lan Ziyi to calm the anger of the public even if he kills himself in public at that time.

Thinking of these troubles, Lan Ziyi buried his head in the road, and after a turn, Lan Ziyi saw a few scattered thieves in front of him wandering leisurely on the other side of the road. Seeing this, Lan Ziyi felt a nameless fire in his heart that hurt his chest, he woke up from a strange dream early this morning, and after waking up, there was a mistake in arranging the troops, and now he has to catch up with the boss, but the group of demon thieves in front of him are leisurely and not in a hurry at all, isn't this a clear provocation?

Lan Zi was angry in his heart, and he drew his sword and planned to shout at the assault of the whole army. But Lan Ziyi was about to raise his sword, but he was held by Tao Zhulu on the side, and Tao Zhulu said:

"Young master, the road ahead of that group of demon thieves has been cleaned up."

Tao Zhuhu also said at this time:

"Young master, our army's iron hooves have already made the thieves suffer enough, but now these people don't look scared when they see our cavalry, there is a deception in this!"

The words of the Tao brothers woke up Lan Ziyi, and Lan Ziyi looked at the front and found that those demon thieves slipped back from time to time to observe the approaching officials and soldiers, so he was indeed prepared.

Lan Ziyi immediately raised his sword and ordered:

"Stop!"

The whole army slowly stopped under the command of Lan Ziyi, and the two armies finally confronted each other in such a way.

After stopping, Lan Ziyi hurriedly said to Tao Zhuhu:

"I was too impulsive today, and I almost fell for the trick of the demon thief, but fortunately, the eldest brother reminded me."

At this time, Tao Zhutu asked:

"Is the demon thief singing an empty city plan? If there is an ambush so close, why don't the ambushes be launched? ”

Tao Zhulu raised his chin and pointed to the front of the road and said:

"See for yourself what's on the road ahead?"

Hearing this, Peach Rabbit stared at it, and there seemed to be something on the rain-soaked road, and then looked closely at a rope, and both ends of the rope were buried in the grass beside the road.

Tao Zhutu said with a straight face:

"Tripping horses."

Lan Ziyi looked at the surrounding situation, on his left hand side is the river embankment, and on the right hand side is the rice field under the roadbed, if this place does not take the main road, where can he go? “

Thinking of this, Lan Ziyi suddenly had a flash of inspiration in his mind, now during the day, this place is full of fields, how many people can the demon thief want to ambush? If the thieves had been so much, they would have been ambushed as Peach Rabbit said.

On the side, Tao Zhulu proposed:

"Young master, why don't we go to the embankment?"

Lan Ziyi shook his head, pointed to both sides of the road and said:

"Big brother, second brother! Each of you will take a group of men and horses and rush straight into the grass by the side of the road. You rush out of the ambush thief, and I will lead the brigade to run over the road! ”

Hearing this, Tao Zhuhu and Tao Zhulu understood this, and immediately beckoned their sergeants to plan to divide their troops and rush down the road.

The two armies were too close, and Lan Ziyi's order was also heard by the demon thieves, who saw that their ambush had been seen through and could no longer hide, so they all rushed out from both sides of the road with a shout.

Lan Ziyi saw that the demon thief had come out, and he no longer ordered Tao Zhuhu and Tao Zhulu to continue to divide their troops. Lan Ziyi found that although the number of thieves was small, many of them were armed with long axes, and he understood that if the demon thieves were allowed to pick the axes away, he and his soldiers would suffer huge losses. So Lan Ziyi shouted: "Follow me!" Then he urged his horse forward.

Although Lan Ziyi took the lead, the team behind him was still blocked on the road, and it was impossible to rush over with Lan Ziyi for a while.

"Young Master, be careful!"
