"Lu Yuan, you said that the mountain bandits might set up an ambush in front?"

Huang Jiayin, the deputy commander-in-chief, saw that Lu Yuan took the initiative to ask to see him and informed him of the results of the sentry of the soldiers under his command, so he also asked.

Of course, he also saw that Lu Yuan had an in-law relationship with the Tang family, so he allowed Lu Yuan, the chief flag officer, to behave in front of him.

"Ambush? Dashuai, I think this Lu Zongqi is a soldier, even if these mountain bandits are ambushed, how many people can be ambushed, and they don't have many firearms, bows and arrows, and the previous general followed the governor's standard camp is not without fighting with this word, those mountain bandits, some of them also use hoes as weapons, I think Lu Zongqi is scared, and wants to slip away, so he deliberately bluffs and disturbs the morale of the army. ”

Han Hai sneered and said to Huang Jiayin.

Although Huang Jiayin couldn't believe what Lu Yuan said, he also felt that it was good to be careful, so he hurriedly instructed Han Hai: "You take a few brave brothers and ride to the front first." ”

"Handsome", Han Hai wanted to say a few more words, but seeing Huang Jiayin glaring at him, he had no choice but to take the order.

But not long after, Han Hai rushed back with someone again: "Back to Dashuai, we looked, there was no sign of an ambush in the front four or five miles." ”

"Marshal, the lower officer decided that it would be better to be careful, we still divide the team into two parts, the front army will go first, and the rear army will follow, even if the front army is ambushed, the rear army can also respond."

Lu Yuan had to be bold to say it again for the success of his suppression of bandits.

"The surname is Lu, what are you! It's also worth being here! also let the marshal be divided into front and rear armies, if you are afraid of death, you will slip away! Why mess with the hearts of our army! ”

Han Hai roared, he felt that Lu Yuan was questioning his ability to probe the enemy.

Deputy General Huang also lowered his face and glared at Han Hai, but he didn't give Lu Yuan any good looks, in his eyes, Lu Yuan is a young man who loves to be in the limelight, but he became the chief flag officer because he was the son-in-law of the Tang family, and he just praised him a few words in the face of the Tang family, so he really regarded himself as a talent for leading soldiers.

Therefore, Deputy General Huang did not insist on believing Lu Yuan anymore, but only said: "Lu Yuan, you go back, if you want to rest, you can follow tomorrow." ”

Lu Yuan had no choice but to retreat in a gloomy manner, knowing that with his current position, it was almost impossible to say that Deputy Chief Huang would follow his own will.

Therefore, Lu Yuan did not insist on continuing to persuade Deputy General Huang.

Seeing Lu Yuan come back, Luan Qianhu walked up enthusiastically and asked with a smile, "Brother Lu, did you go to see Deputy Chief Huang just now?" ”

Lu Yuan nodded: "My sentry came back and said that there might be an ambush ahead, and the lower official remembered that this matter was related to the safety of the whole army, and Luan Qianhu was not there at that time, so the lower official had the courage to report directly to the marshal, and please don't blame Luan Qianhu!" ”

Seeing Lu Yuan say this, Luan Qianhu felt a lot more comfortable, and said with a smile: "You and my brother, what are you doing here, it involves military intelligence, and you should be in a hurry." ”

Lu Yuan smiled and returned to his mighty military camp without saying more.

Shang Zongqi, who was next to Lu Yuan's mighty army, smiled proudly when he saw Lu Yuan coming, and mocked in his heart: "I don't know how to lift, looking at your disappointed appearance, you must have eaten a closed door at the deputy commander-in-chief, but a little chief flag officer like me really treats himself as a green onion?" ”

Lu Yuan naturally didn't notice Shang Zongqi's smug look, at this time, he was full of worries about whether the mountain bandits would ambush his tens of thousands of officers and soldiers, and whether the tens of thousands of officers and soldiers on his side would fail.

The army marched on.

Deputy General Huang did not take Lu Yuan's suggestion, tens of thousands of officers and soldiers still advanced on a single line, and thousands of Han Hai were still the vanguard, walking in the forefront with hundreds of families, but it was also majestic.

And on Lu Yuan's side, the chief flag merchant Yongxin in front of him was picking up mushrooms from the guards he brought, and seemed to want to take them back to sell or eat.

But it can also be seen from this that this Shuiyang Village is not rich, even if the general flag merchant Yongxin has a lot of fertile land in Shuiyang Village and has always been good at exploiting military households, but after honoring the officials, he will just mix food and clothing, otherwise he will not even look at mushrooms.

And Luan Qianhu in the back was drowsy on the horse, as if he had come to vacation, and his family carefully led the horse, afraid that the horse's movements would be too big to wake up his own adults.

It didn't take long.

And the army went into the valley.

The valley was deep and quiet, and the sound of the footsteps of the squirming army startled wild birds flying between the cliffs.

Lu Yuan didn't know how long he had been walking, but he found that there seemed to be no ambush in the entire valley until now, and for a while, Lu Yuan couldn't help but wonder if he was really wrong in his guess?

"Inform the army, continue to maintain vigilance, do not relax!"

But Lu Yuan still didn't relax, the easier it was to relax, the more dangerous it would undoubtedly be.

It is now in the afternoon, the spring light is soft, the mountain breeze is blowing, the trees and grass are like beautiful green sleeves swaggering, so that people's eyes fight, sleepy.

What's more, the army has been marching for half a day, and it has just had lunch, and the blood sugar is only focused on digesting food, and the whole body is even more tired because of this.

Even Lu Yuan couldn't help yawning.

But this time.

Suddenly, there was a loud bang from behind.

Lu Yuan looked back, but saw a boulder falling into the valley, and the few guards who walked in the back were crushed to death on the spot.

For a while, the officers and soldiers on Lu Yuan's side were a little flustered.

Luan Qianhu was even frightened, because he was nearby just now, these were his soldiers, and he also saw these guards being crushed to death.

Lu Yuan ran over: "Luan Qianhu, are you okay?" ”

"I, I'm fine, there is still water on this stone, at first glance, it is in the stream above, how did it roll here, Brother Lu, do you say it's strange?"

Luan Qianhu asked.

But it was also Luan Qianhu who reminded him that Lu Yuan also realized the danger and exclaimed: "It's not good! This may have been specially moved by the mountain bandits. ”

After Lu Yuan finished speaking, he immediately shouted: "The mighty army obeys the order, and all of them are close to the cliff on the left!" ”

The cliff on the left side is the inner side of the cliff wall, and the boulder will not be damaged too much because it will be swept away for a certain distance because it will be swept down.

The mighty army often trained various orders, but they also obeyed their words, and quickly stuck to the inside of the cliff.

However, the other guards were sluggish or unable to react, and were hit quite a bit when the boulder rolled down.

However, Luan Qianhu's men and horses suffered the lightest losses, because he was closest to Lu Yuan, and hearing Lu Yuan shout like this, he also asked his people to quickly hide in the inner wall.

Deputy General Huang didn't have much to lose on his side, after all, his family members are all veterans, and he still has experience in dealing with this aspect.

But Deputy General Huang also had to be careful because of this, and for a while he remembered Lu Yuan's initial advice, so he ordered: "Han Hai, you send a few more sentry riders to check and check!" Be careful this time! ”
