Chapter 42, Ambush

"What did Zhang Bingzhong's grandson say again?" Zuo Liangyu looked at the notice and smiled.

"Dashuai, on the right is the list of gifts given to the officials of Dazhao after Zhang Bingzhong's last surrender......" Liu Jingting said.

"Hahahaha, Zhang Bingzhong is interesting, interesting!" Zuo Liangyu laughed again, "You guys be careful to take this thing off and don't break it." Mmmm, let's not be busy for now, find some pen and ink first, and copy these things down first. Maybe when it will be useful...... Ah, Mr. Liu, what's written on the left? ”

Liu Jingting said: "This is also a list, but it is a list of the property looted from the Gucheng area when Zhang Bingzhong left. It was densely packed and very detailed, and in the end, the total amount, just silver, was more than 45,000 taels, and there were more than 30 carts of Ayara and the like. As for the rearmost ...... In the end, the thief said: 'Take Lao Tzu's money, you have to pay interest!' ’”

Speaking of this, Liu Jingting shook his head again and said, "This thief is really shameless. ”

"What, Mr. Liu, will you tell me that number again?" Zuo Liangyu's eyes widened and said.

Liu Jingting said it again. Zuo Liangyu listened, clapped his hands and said: "Zhang Bingzhong of the dog day, this grandson actually robbed so much!" What a damn one! This grandson has robbed so many things, he will definitely not be able to go fast, pass on my general order, don't waste time in the city anymore, hurry up and prepare for dinner, and then catch up and destroy this rebellion! ”

The soldiers around him hurriedly knelt down, took the token, and went.

Zuo Liangyu said to Liu Jingting again: "Mr. Liu, it seems that we can't spend the night in the city. The gentleman also went to prepare, and said that he would live in the wild again today. ”

Liu Jingting said: "Living in the wilderness is a common thing in the army. Dashuai, I'll go first. ”

Zuo Liangyu nodded, and Liu Jingting turned around.

Seeing that Liu Jingting was also leaving, Luo Dai said: "Dashuai, the search in this city has not been completed." ”

"How many more things can there be in this city?" Zuo Liangyu glared at him and said, "Just this city, how many things should there be, Lao Tzu can estimate eight or nine at a glance." Zhang Bingzhong of the dog day, in one breath. Forty-five thousand taels were robbed, and there were less than one thousand taels of silver left in the city at most, maybe not even five hundred taels. I'm still searching for a fart! Dog things, robbing and robbing in such a hurry, it's completely unruly! If you don't teach him a lesson, how will you live in the future? ”

In the past few years, the "rogues" have fought back and forth with the officials and soldiers, and they have also developed some tacit understanding. For example, when the "rogues" rob, they generally do not rob too cleanly, so that the officials and soldiers generally do not chase them too closely. Another example is that the "rogues" will always coerce a large number of ordinary people, and when they want to run away, they will leave them behind and cut them down by the officers and soldiers; The officers and soldiers will also focus their main energy on cutting down those "rogues" who remain behind, unless there is a lot of pressure from above, and generally they will not really fight with the real capital of those rogues. Anyway, it's all based on the first level, whose first level is not a first level?

However, now Zhang Bingzhong's approach is completely bad rules. Besides, he still has tens of thousands of taels of silver in his hand, and dozens of carts of Ayaluo. If you chase slowly, these things will be gone!

Of course, it will always take time to concentrate the scattered army again and then chase after it. So after noon, the army regrouped, and Zuo Liangyu led the army to continue to pursue Zhang Bingzhong in the northwest direction.

The next day, Zuo Liangyu's scouts found some traces left by Zhang Bingzhong's subordinates on the roadβ€”several damaged carriages. After a while, Zuo Liangyu and Luo Dai arrived next to the carriage.

"Dashuai, you see, this carriage has a broken axle, it should be loaded with too many things, and there will be problems when the road is bumpy." Luo Dai jumped off his horse and took a closer look at the carriageway.

Zuo Liangyu also jumped off the horse. He looked at the carriage first, nodded, then looked back at the ruts, and then at the other rut marks on the road, and said, "This cart is not light." He looked around again, and suddenly saw something shining in the grass over there.

"What's that?" Zuo Liangyu asked, pointing over there.

A soldier ran over, bent down, picked up the thing, and said, "Dashuai, it's a pearl." ”

The soldier said as he walked back and handed the earrings to Zuo Liangyu. Zuo Liangyu took it and took a closer look, but it was a phoenix hairpin made of gold, a phoenix on the hairpin's head, vivid, and on the mouth of the phoenix, there were two thin ropes of different lengths woven with gold wires, and two pearls were embedded under the ropes.

"This should have fallen off when the car rolled over. They were really careless when they packed their things, and this golden hairpin was worth a lot of money. Zuo Liang Yu said.

"They shouldn't have gone far. Otherwise, this thing would have been picked up a long time ago. Luo Dai said.

Zuo Liangyu shook his head and said, "Where can anyone walk on this road now?" No one goes, naturally no one picks up. Looking at the ruts, the car should have been flipped here for more than a day. However, such a heavy car can't run fast no matter what. We're sure we'll be able to catch up with them before they flee into the mountains. ”

To the northwest from Gucheng is the mountainous area of Yunxi. Naturally, these cars loaded with gold beads could not run on mountain roads. But there are too many places in the mountains to hide those gold beads. So it's best to catch up with Zhang Bingzhong and them before they enter the mountains.

……

"Rujing." Zhang Bingzhong and his righteous son Zhang Rujing said, "I am familiar with this guy Zuo Liangyu, he is the most greedy for money." When we used to fight him, as long as there was a city in front of us that could be looted, he would slow down to catch up with us, so that we could have time to break the city. As soon as we really broke the city, he immediately came up, so that he took advantage of the fire to rob, and the reputation of stealing things was Lao Tzu, but in fact he grabbed more things than Lao Tzu. This time in Gu Cheng, he didn't grab anything, and he will definitely catch up. We can't let him stay behind. You have to give him some color to see, otherwise, he won't know how many eyes Ma Wang Ye has! Further on is Luo Monkey Mountain. We're going to set up an ambush over there and give him a hard shot. Well, Rujing, this thing that leads them into the sleeve will be left to you to do. Do it like a little, understand? ”

"The child understands!" Zhang Rujing replied loudly.

"Kewang," Zhang Bingzhong said again, "If you want to talk about Zuo Liangyu's soldiers, they can actually fight." We can't eat many officers and soldiers at one time. It would be nice to be able to take out his striker. In order to catch up with our treasures, Zuo Liangyu will definitely let his cavalry throw off the infantry and chase after him first tomorrow. When the time comes, you ambush on the hill in front, and after the front starts, you rush down with Wenxiu and Yun Zhi to cut off the back of his forwards......"

"The child understands!" Zhang Kewang also replied loudly.

……

"Report to the commander! Our scouts and thieves engaged in battle. A scout jumped down from his horse, knelt down in front of Zuo Liangyu's horse, and said loudly, his horse still had two heads hanging around his neck.

"What's the situation, let's talk about it in detail!" Zuo Liangyu asked.

The scout replied loudly: "Marshal, just fifteen miles ahead, our scout caught up with the tail of the thief army, most of which were military exploits with only wooden sticks. The brothers went up and scattered them, and further on they saw the convoy of thieves, and as a result, Zhang Bingzhong's godson Zhang Rujing rushed over with six or seven hundred cavalry, and when we saw that there were many of them, we retreated. ”

"Do you recognize that as Zhang Rujing?" Zuo Liangyu rode on his horse, lowered his head and asked.

"Handsome, villains recognize it." The Scout Trail.

"Okay, follow him, but don't fight him easily." Left Liang Yu said.

"Order!" The scout answered, turned on his horse, and ran forward again.

"Dashuai, now that they are about to go to Fang County, Fang County has many mountains, so they really let them enter the mountains. It's even harder to chase them. Luo Dai clasped his hands into fists and said loudly, "The last general is willing to take the light sharp men, catch up, and drag them down." ”

Zuo Liangyu looked at the detective who was going away and did not speak. Liu Jingting, who was following him, said: "Marshal, Zhang Bingzhong has always been known for his treachery, and now Luo Mengde has rebelled again, and he has a lot of soldiers who can fight." There are many mountains in Fang County, and there are many places where ambushes can be set up. Be careful. ”

Zuo Liangyu frowned, but still didn't speak.

"Marshal, along the way, the enemy not only abandoned a lot of vehicles, but even food and cloth. This shows that they are already concentrating their capacity to deliver something valuable. Luo Dai added, "If you don't catch up quickly and let them into the mountain, these things will be hidden wherever they go, and it will be difficult to find them." Besides, the army led by the marshal has more people and combat power than the thief army. The last general went up with the light sharp, and the commander followed behind with the army. By the time I catch up with the enemy, the commander will be no more than thirty miles away from the general, and he will be there in an hour. Even if the thief army has an ambush, it is impossible to eat the last general in an hour or two, and when the time comes, the marshal will lead the army and the last general to attack one after another, and the thief army will be defeated! ”

Zuo Liangyu listened, thought about it again, and was in the gold and silver in Zhang Bingzhong's hands for a while, and the danger of an ambush for a while, but in the end, the adventurous mind prevailed, and he said: "That's it, Luo Dai, I'll give you 1,000 cavalry and 2,000 light infantry, you catch up and see how many things you can capture." Don't go into the mountains lightly. Do you understand? ”

"Dashuai, the last general understands!" Luo Dai hugged his fists on his horse.

"Be careful yourself." Zuo Liangyu also said.

……

"You see, the officers and soldiers have divided into a team to chase after the thief army." Above the clouds, in a cyan halo, a god in golden helmets and armor was looking down on the earth.

"Father," said a young man wearing a lotus coat, holding a flaming spear, and wearing a gold ring around his neck. Now that they are scattered, the children can begin to interfere with them. ”

"It's not busy, wait for them to chase for a while, their physical strength will decrease, and after the team is elongated, it will be easier to do it." The "father" said, "Interfering with the military is the most expensive." Just a little guidance for their decision-making, the cost is not small. Although the luck of the heavenly court is great, there are also great enemies, and if you can consume a little less, you will consume a little less. Although there are only 3,000 people in Luo Dai's hands now, his own luck is not high, but if you want to interfere with him, it is best to start a fight, and the luck of the two armies cancels each other out. ”

"Got it." The young god's fist clenched.
