Zhang Wang urged the horse forward to catch up with Lan Ziyi and them, and after the two sides converged, Zhang Wang came to the side of Yu Gonggong and said:

"You old eunuch, before the battle starts, you should say bad things first. Don't say I'm late, even if I don't come to this capital, it's impregnable, how can I be attacked by thieves? ”

The fish father-in-law stopped his horse, raised his whip and pointed at the thief ship that was going down the river, and said:

"The ancients bragged that the whip was thrown into the river for the sake of breaking the flow, and now the demon thief can block the river without throwing himself into the river, and you dare to say that the capital is safe at this time? I'm not alarmist, I'm just telling the truth. ”

Yu Gonggong is not exaggerating at all, the ships of the demon thieves are pouring out from the horizon, from Lan Ziyi's side, it seems that the ships of the thieves almost have a feeling of falling from the sky, and the ships that stretch down cover the entire river, and they can only see the head and the tail at all, and the officers and soldiers walking on the shore are like rats chased by pythons compared to the fleet in the water of the thieves, they are not walking in front, but being chased behind by the thieves.

The demon thief ship took advantage of the rolling river to go eastward, and the ship came to the front in a moment. If it weren't for the strong winds and waves that made the robbers' ships dare not set sail, and slowed down for the sake of safety, the thieves' ships would have landed on the riverbank by now.

After Father-in-law Yu finished speaking, he looked at the thief ship on the river with a calm face, and opened his mouth to laugh at Father-in-law Yu:

"As long as you have the guts, you can only be a prison army, look at the battles you fought after leading the troops alone, which battle is not defeated?"

Hearing this, Father-in-law Yu sneered and said:

"Now you have the rank of captain, I can't do anything about you, if you talk like this before, I will reward you with a hundred military sticks if I don't behead you.

You're so bold, so you're trying to get rid of the thieves back? ”

Zhang Wang laughed when he heard this:

"Rush back? No, I'm going to bury the thief here! ”

As he spoke, he ordered the soldiers who came with him:

"Immediately line up and meet the enemy here!"

These sergeants who followed Zhang Wang and set out from Gu Xiao forcibly marched to the capital for a day and a night, hungry to eat dry food on the road, thirsty to drink rainwater, the road was muddy, all the way to have done their best, it was a great luck not to fall behind, now to the destination thought that they could rest for a while, but before they stopped, they received the order to line up.

The cavalry soldiers came on horseback, but the infantry soldiers all stood on their knees on the road and bent over after spitting out the sticks in their mouths.

Seeing that everyone did not react, Zhang Wang was furious and scolded:

"The thief is about to dock, you still have time to catch your breath? Make a U-turn and prepare to take on the thieves now!

The cavalry of the Western Tiger Battalion climbed the mountain to the south, lined up on the left flank, and the other infantry gave orders from front to back, and then they opened up and extended north to the river, lined up. ”

The soldiers saw that Zhang Wang's move was serious, so they had to turn around and start to reorganize the formation, but after the rapid march, the whole team was sleepy and tired, and the officers and men of each battalion were all mixed together, and they were still marching troops, and even if the order was conveyed, even if there was supervision and urging by officers at all levels, it was impossible to complete the formation in a short time.

Seeing this, Lan Ziyi immediately said to Zhang Wang:

"Captain, our army has been marching all night, and the soldiers are already exhausted, and the division is difficult to use. The thieves crossed the river with all their might, and there was no march to drag them down, and now that the momentum is in full swing, it may not be wise for us to engage the enemy here. “

Zhang Wang kept watching the army unfold in front of him, and did not set his eyes on Lan Ziyi, but this did not mean that Zhang Wang did not listen to Lan Ziyi's words. As soon as Lan Ziyi finished speaking, he asked:

"Then where should we meet the enemy according to the opinion of the Marquis?"

After Zhang Wang finished asking, he shouted several times, ordering the sergeants in front of him to go to his designated position.

After Zhang Wang's arrangement was completed, he turned his head to look at Lan Ziyi, and Lan Ziyi did not answer Zhang Wang's question for a period of time.

Looking at Lan Ziyi's appearance that he wanted to say but couldn't say, he said:

"Of course, I know that this place is not suitable for the enemy, but Wei Hou also understands that if we retreat now, it will be even more impossible for our army to fight against the thieves after the thieves land on the shore. Morale can be excited, and if you retreat, it's all over. ”

Lan Ziyi lowered his voice and said:

"But Captain, if we are defeated here, the thieves will be able to drive straight to the capital division. The thieves are in the limelight, as long as they take advantage of the situation to land today, our army will be more auspicious. ”

Zhang Wang smiled and replied:

"Wei Hou's vision is very accurate, and he knows that the thief has the possibility of landing on the shore and smashing Huanglong. But I'm doing this now just in case that might happen. We're either going to take advantage of the narrow terrain between hills and rivers to stop the thieves from landing on the shore, or we're going to be done altogether. The capital can't be defended, a single city wall is forty miles, and we can't even guard a gate. Since we don't have enough troops to defend, then we can only attack. ”

Lan Ziyi saw that Zhang Wang was determined to fight to the death, so he clenched his fists and asked for his life;

"Taiwei has the heart to die, so let Ziyi go to the left wing of the West Tiger Battalion to serve his life! Zi Yichang is at the border of Beizhen and is familiar with cavalry combat, so I must ...... to go to the West Tiger Battalion."

Zhang Wangwen smiled and waved his hand:

"Young man, don't be in a hurry to die, I have no plans to die here with the thieves today. You wait a minute, and you'll understand later. ”

Lan Ziyi was completely confused by Zhang Wang, since he wanted to fight but did not let Lan Ziyi fight, looking at Zhang Wang's meaning, he looked confident, Lan Ziyi didn't understand Zhang Wang's meaning at all.

Zhang Wang looked at himself with a smile and commanded the whole army to set up a formation to meet the thieves, he didn't care at all that the thieves who were densely flowing down the river in front of him were more than ten times his strength, those thieves had never appeared in Zhang Wang's eyes, they had never been seriously considered by Zhang Wang.

The thief's ship was getting closer and clearer, and it seemed like it was about to land. The big waves kept jolting the ship, one moment at the top of the wave, the next moment it sank to the bottom of the waves, and after a wave and a wave, Lan Ziyi found that some thieves and ships were actually... Sunk!

This is what Lan Ziyi discovered only after the thief ship came to a close place to clear the details, and those dense ships were not intentionally done by the thieves, it was actually the result of being blown by the wind and waves. Although there are many thieves, their newly built ships cannot support them to survive such a storm, and the great river, which has made the officials and soldiers crossing the river suffer a lot, is now also making the demon thieves suffer a big loss.

The boatmen on the thieves' ships watched the river bank in the wind and rain, shouting loudly and passing news to each other. Although Lan Ziyi couldn't hear their words, he could see their movements, and after shouting for a long time, these boatmen actually hoisted their sails and led the ship to turn around and go to Jinzhou Island in the north of the river.

The thieves must have wanted to log in to the capital to fight to the death after wandering on the river for a day and a night, and Lei Youde had that courage. But Zhang Wang opened the formation in Xinting and put on a desperate posture, which seemed to scare the thieves back.

The morale of all the soldiers was greatly boosted when they looked at the retreating thief ship, and the resistance brought by Zhang Wang's forcible order just now was instantly swept away, and the soldiers waved the weapons in their hands and shouted loudly at the river, shouting loudly and challenging the thieves.

Lan Ziyi was also overjoyed, he turned his head and asked:

"The captain knows that the thieves are going to retreat?"

Zhang Wang smiled and did not answer.

Lan Ziyi looked at Zhang Wang's look of winning and thought for a while, and suddenly understood why, and said:

"Although the thieves came by boat, the wind and waves on the river were too strong, the ship was bumpy, and the ship might be sunk, and the thieves had no strength to land when they arrived at Xinting. Therefore, the captain set up a formation here, bluffing to scare the demon thief away. What a brilliant plan! “

Zhang Wang laughed when he heard this, and said:

"Wei Hou's eyesight is good, since you know that the thieves are also tired veterans, why did you persuade me to quit the army just now?"

Lan Ziyi was asked by Zhang Wang, his face turned red all of a sudden, and he said embarrassedly:

"I didn't think of that just now."

Zhang Wang shook his head when he heard Lan Ziyi's answer, it seemed that he was not satisfied with Lan Ziyi's answer, he asked again:

"Then why didn't you think about it just now?"

Lan Ziyi didn't expect Zhang Wang to ask this, and looked up at Zhang Wang for unknown reasons.

Zhang Wang was also looking at Lan Ziyi at this time, and after Lan Ziyi met Zhang Wang's gaze, he knew that Zhang Wang already had an answer, but Lan Ziyi himself couldn't answer Zhang Wang's question.

After a while, seeing that Lan Ziyi did not answer, Zhang Wang opened his mouth and said:

"Young man, you are still too susceptible to external influences, your mind is unstable, and you can't grasp the overall situation when you are in a hurry.

You were scared just now, so you take it for granted that the thieves will go straight to the shore, and that's what you fear the most. Once you've calmed down, you'll soon realize that this isn't the case. “

Lan Ziyi actually had a feeling of epiphany in his mind when he heard Zhang Wang say this, it was like a spark suddenly lit up in the darkness to illuminate the surroundings, and it seemed that he came to a wider space after chiseling through the wall, at that moment Lan Ziyi felt that he had become more relaxed, more self-contained, and the restraints wrapped around his body were gone.

Zhang Wang's words broke through the doubts in Lan Ziyi's heart, and it simply pointed out the direction for Lan Ziyi, and Lan Ziyi lost his mind for a while to adapt to the new world brought about by change. After Lan Ziyi came back to his senses, he immediately asked:

"So Captain, I should be firm in my will and let myself not be influenced by the outside world in order to reach the highest spiritual realm, right?"

Zhang Wangyao looked at the river, busy directing the sergeants to deploy the defense, and after hearing Lan Ziyi's question, he laughed crisply and said:

"You are a human being and not a stone, how can you decide that your contact with the outside world will not be affected? Even if the stone is soaked in water for a long time, it will be infiltrated by water, how can you close yourself? ”

Lan Ziyi asked again and again:

"So it's all about suppressing my fears and letting them not affect my judgment, right?"

Zhang Wang shook his head and sighed when he heard this, and he said:

"Fear is a part of you, what you fear is your weakness, your shortcomings, what will threaten you, if you don't have any fear at all, how can you find your weaknesses and vulnerabilities?

Lan family children, don't put the cart before the horse, don't think that you can taste the freshness of the world if you get a clever sentence, there is no such good thing. ”

Lan Ziyi was stunned by Zhang Wang, he seemed to have been brought into a new realm by Zhang Wang, but Zhang Wang's words were full of contradictions, like drunk words. Lan Ziyi asked puzzledly:

"Then Captain Zhang, how did you calculate that the thieves would retire?"

As soon as Zhang Wangyi heard this, he turned his head to look at Lan Ziyi, his face was full of anger, and he turned murderous, and he said:

"I didn't even think about the thieves quitting."
