Although Ling'er is still young, she is really clever, in fact, if a little orphan like her wants to survive, she also tries to avoid people in normal times, otherwise if she is unlucky to meet a boy older than her, she will be slapped twice in the back of the head, and things will be snatched away.

After that, the tail changed into the front army, and under the guidance of the little girl, she slowly retreated in the underground labyrinth, and walked lightly into another fork in the road and began to lurk.

As for who he met, no one knows now, in fact, Zhao Cheng only heard the sound of people talking before, but because of the distance, it was impossible to hear the content clearly. Otherwise, there is no chance to make a detour.

If you don't hear the details, you can't tell who it is, and you can't kill them. Otherwise, it is not called trial and error, madness or death, because first of all, we don't know their number or strength.

Now there is war, and there are people fleeing everywhere. It's also possible that they are a group of people like Ling'er.

"Do you want to attack?"

Chen Hao wrote on Zhao Cheng's back.

This Nima almost frightened Zhao Cheng to roll and scream, at first he thought it was a spider crawling on his back, but later he found out that he was writing.

"I can't."

Zhao Cheng wrote in response.

There is no light, and they are constantly sensing, and they walk quickly and lightly.

Assuming that the walking posture can be regarded as martial arts skills, this pedestrian is obviously much stronger than Zhao Cheng's team.

I don't know how many people there are, in short, there are quite a few, but I can only make a rough estimate of the momentum of their passing: more than a hundred.

"Decisions are needed now."

After they passed, Chen Hao wrote on Zhao Cheng's back again.

This time he was slapped on the back of the head, and Zhao Cheng approached him and whispered: "Now you can whisper and speak, if you dare to touch my back again, I will trample you to death as a spider." ”

"So you don't have to make a decision."

Chen Hao was also a little embarrassed, and decisively changed to a whisper.

Zhao Cheng hesitated, still unable to judge whether these people were good, but the possibility of bandits was high. First of all, there were quite a few people gathered together, and their prudence and discipline were obviously too good, and they were definitely not officers and soldiers.

"It's like something happened. Although it is uncertain, this team of men and horses is obviously warriors and has a purpose, and the probability that they are officers and soldiers is relatively small. You can't beat them, but you have to 'follow'. Suppose that now the Qin Ming army and the team of Shidai County are chasing us. Those mallets are lit with torches, and the probability of encountering this group of dead soldiers is relatively high. You can't sit idly by, you have to deploy. ”

Zhao Cheng whispered his analysis.

The poor people felt very bad, "The box army is so hateful, do we care if he lives or dies?" ”

"It's okay to be revengeful, but revenge is definitely not this way, this is called dereliction of duty, and it is to help Wang Xiu win the war."

Zhao Cheng said in a low voice, "You know from the beginning of doing things with me that our combat power comes from responsibility. Don't forget the original intention, it's my business to deal with the guys who make the most trouble, you just need to help me fight. In the future, I will clean them up, but now, those big-headed soldiers are actually not much different from you, some old and some young, but they are with the wrong people and are under the wrong command. If you don't understand these essential questions, you guys won't follow me to the end, and you won't see the day when the brocade robe is added. ”

These guys were depressed for a while, and they didn't expect to be taught another political lesson at such a moment.

Lecturing is not Zhao Cheng's purpose, the main thing is to delay time, give his own people a safe buffer space, and keep them far enough away from those people.

At about the same time, Zhao Cheng wrote a short handwritten letter, folded it and handed it to a relatively clever messenger, "Now you hide yourself, return from the way we came, find Qin Mingbu as quickly as possible after leaving, and hand over my handwritten letter to Qin Ming and He Zhi, don't be sloppy." ”

The messenger hesitated, "Humble ...... Will you meet Zhou En's treatment? ”

The others were saddened when they heard this!

"No, it won't."

Zhao Cheng is very sure of this, "The reason why I want to kill Dong Ping desperately is to make a deterrent, so that people who are used to this kind of thinking want to reach out and weigh it." And now there is an advantage that they have Cai Wenji with the team, that chick has some bunkers but is not a bad person, with her, you will be beaten and humiliated by them at most, but you will be fine, I promise. ”

The messenger immediately said that he was sworn to complete the task.

This is a prestige benefit, in fact, their confidence in combat power also comes from Zhao Cheng's degree of responsibility. Zhou En's matter, Zhao Cheng risked a big taboo and forcibly took back justice. If you choose to shrink your head at that time, this team will also be Zhao Cheng's people, but don't expect them to let go at a critical time.

This is a bit of a habit, but in fact, throughout the historical years, the grassroots team was able to hang the Imperial Paladins who were full of wealth and bureaucracy at the end of the dynasty, which is also one of the reasons.

There is also a little bit of obscene thinking Zhao Cheng didn't say: the biggest reason why he was willing to warn the Xiang army was that they had Cai Wenji with him.

Cai Jing's granddaughter and Cai You's daughter can't be cut off, this is a must.

Otherwise, Zhao Cheng is now a problem person, and he is surrounded and intercepted by them everywhere, it is impossible to be reasonable at this time, and everyone throws the pot together when something happens, and they all come to a "because Zhao Cheng is unruly and unruly", then it will be really cool.

This team, including Zhao Cheng's "small family" who stayed in the city, all have the possibility of accidents.

Offending no one can offend Cai You This is the key, on the contrary, as long as Cai You has the support and does not lose the war in the end, Zhao Cheng will dare to offend anyone, and the sky will not fall. Politics and military must be both sides, so that they can lurk and develop slowly as a lowly person.

"What if you can't do anything, what if it really leads to the total annihilation of the Xiang army?" Another brother asked in a low voice.

Of course, this means that Cai Wenji is also finished, so Zhao Cheng has only one way: Chizhou can't stay, and decisively use Wang Xiu to entangle the official army, Zhao Cheng must carry out the real Long March in advance after joining forces with Bai Agarwood.

This is called staying in the green mountains, not afraid of no firewood.

But this kind of news is very pill, and it can't be said, and it is impossible to tell it first in this life.

So Zhao Cheng said steadily, "No, everything is under my control as a scholar." ”

"Your Excellency will win!"

Based on their blind trust in Zhao Cheng, they became bloody again.

"Well, the buffer time is almost up, reverse attack, do follow-up movement."

Zhao Cheng gave another battle order, and handed over the little tiger head to Ling'er to take care of.

With a wave of his hand, a small string of copper coins fell on Ling'er's skull, which was regarded as a bonus in advance, and Ling'er's combat mission was: to leave with the little tiger head alone, not too far, but not too close......

"Zhao Cheng's person has been caught!"

The messenger who reported the news was just approaching, and he was immediately taken down for a while with his big leather shoes served, and he fell to the ground, nosebleeds slowly flowing down his cheeks, and looked very miserable.

Cai Wenji couldn't look at it a little and scolded: "Stop, stop, don't fight." He just listened to orders. ”

Qin Ming thought about it and made sense, and after nodding slightly, the subordinates of the Xiang army stepped back and stopped fighting.

"What are you doing? Is it to spy instead of Zhao Cheng? ”

He Zhi walked over and looked at the poor man condescendingly.

The messenger remembered that Zhao Cheng's explanation could not be nonsense, so he took out the letter from his arms and handed it over, "Please see for yourself, Lord Zhao has written it clearly." ”

Under the light of the torch, Cai Wenji and He Zhi read the letter together.

Cai Wenji was a little flustered, and was frightened, so she began to look nervously at the darkness around her?

He Zhi pinched the letter and said coldly: "You recruited from the truth, what is Zhao Cheng's intention?" Want to confuse the public now? Is it that he has no way to go, and deliberately asked you to take me and others? ”

Without waiting for an answer, He Zhi began to show off his knowledge again, "First of all, there is a big flaw here: since you have met the suspected thief he said, you are in the rear of the thief, and you will not be allowed to deliver the letter until it is safe?" Then why did you arrive before the thief? ”

"Right? Say it! ”

Cai Wenji also found that this was a flaw and asked excitedly.

The messenger said unhurriedly: "At this point, my family has already judged: there are two possibilities, this team of people is not thieves." Second, this gang of thieves has scheming, at least not as stupid as Dong Ping. After discovering the torches of the officers and soldiers, they will not immediately rush to kill, but will secretly reconnoiter and deploy, and only after confirming that there are no official and military ambushes in the surrounding radius will attack. And it takes time to investigate and judge, this is the opportunity and time difference that Lord Zhao found. ”

This also sounds reasonable, so Cai Wenji panicked again, and looked around again.

Qin Ming said angrily, "Alarmist! With Ben General here, even if there are really only a hundred and ten thieves, why should they have any scruples, they can be easily killed with a single sprint. The little lady of the Cai family should not believe the scholar's fallacy, he has no way out, and deliberately confuses the public and takes us away. ”

It is difficult for He Zhi to make decisions, he feels that everything is possible, and he does not really have jurisdiction over Qin Ming, facing such a time, how can he not take responsibility is He Zhi's primary thought, in fact, Qin Ming is the main general here.

Technically speaking, it is safer to rely on Qin Ming's rhetoric. And Qin Ming is really brave, with two hundred people, and the team from Shidai County responded not too far away. Even if there are really those thieves that Zhao Cheng said, they are only a team of 100.

After thinking about it, He Zhi said a word of panacea, "This official is inclined to General Qin's judgment, I don't dare to say that Zhao Cheng's heart can be punished, but he really has the possibility of misjudgment." ”

Qin Ming became even more proud when he was promoted, and hugged his fist at Cai Wenji, "There is an end here, Miss can be worry-free." Don't listen to Zhao Cheng's words. Maybe there are really thieves, but his mind should be: he can't beat the thief, and he doesn't want us to make meritorious contributions to the thief. In the current situation, there are fewer and fewer people who believe in him, especially the more meritorious those of us who are chasing him, the darker his face becomes. ”

"That's the point."

He Zhi thought it made sense, and supported it relatively objectively.

"But ......"

Cai Wenji hesitated a little, "It doesn't hurt to look at that scholar's suggestion, he asked us to march to Shidai County as soon as possible and get closer to the county seat, which is a cautious undefeated tactic." He is responsible for following the reconnaissance and then carrying out joint deployment, and finally eating this thief team, although he has also made meritorious contributions, it is not impossible. ”

"There are many dreams at night, he just wants to take a credit to save himself at this moment when he has a bad reputation, don't pay attention to him." Qin Ming said.

"Perhaps, that scholar is always self-righteous, thinking that everyone else is an idiot except him, just let me see, we can do something without him."

Cai Wenji finally chose to stay here to support General Qin......
