Shout! Shout! In an instant, dozens of long arrows turned over to Zhang Xu and the family next to him and hid under the horse, and most of the generals around him also reacted and dodged the arrow rain in time.

Liu Hu was so angry that he patted the big tree next to him, he led people to ambush here last night, and dug a trap in the middle of the road, but he didn't expect that just because there was no sound of insects, the other party would find out, not only the trap was useless, but even the effect of the arrow sneak attack was greatly reduced.

"Shoot the horse!"

"Whew! Shout! Shout! Dozens of arrows flew over again, this time the head was much better, the black long arrows were fiercely inserted into the war horses ridden by Zhang Xu and the generals, causing the war horses to shout for a while, some of the war horses jumped in pain, and threw off several knights who were hiding in the horse's belly or the side of the horse, and these unlucky knights only felt that their eyes were dark, and their bodies were trampled by the hooves of the bowl-sized horses, and they lost consciousness in the blink of an eye.

"Boom." The two generals who walked in front and wanted to escape from being chased by the rain of arrows only felt a shock all over their bodies, and even the people and horses fell into a big pit, "porphyry, porphyry" several times, the sharp spears in the pit passed through the bellies of the two horses, and the horses that stepped down screamed and fell, they didn't have time to jump, a pain came out of their chests, and when they looked down, several spears passed through their chests.

Seeing that there was suddenly a big pit in front of them, the people who were about to flee were taken aback, and hurriedly reined in their horses, and took advantage of this moment to shoot another round of arrow rain on both sides of the woods, and suddenly several people died under the arrow rain.

Although the ambush was discovered in time, most of the people avoided the first arrow rain, but several rounds of arrow rain came in a row, that is, they could only shoot one or two people at a time, and Zhang Xu couldn't bear it, and the generals he brought were only twenty-five people, including himself. Now the family around him is almost half dead and injured.

"Abandon the horse and go into the woods." There is a trap in front, although it can still be rear, Zhang Xu doesn't know if the other party will have an arrangement in the back, they only need to hang a few ropes to mix the horse rope is enough to block the way, and if it is delayed, his subordinates will die.

After some panic, Zhang Xu and the remaining dozen or so subordinates had already rushed to the east woods by relying on the blocking of horses, which was the direction where Liu Hu was, and Liu Hu waved his hand. The twenty-five guards who were ambushed in the east collected their bows and arrows, took out the waist knives beside them, and shouted in unison to attack Zhang Xu and the others.

Zhang Xu saw that there were fewer people in the ambush than he imagined, and he breathed a sigh of relief, the 2,000 people in the valley were jointly formed by Zhang Xu and Yuwen, just because in Hedong County, the deputy general let Yuwen's people serve as the assistant. So when he was attacked just now, he thought that Yuwen was going to annex his men and horses, so he ordered people to ambush here, if so, he had no chance of surviving at all.

It's just that the people of Yuwen were excluded, but Zhang Xu couldn't figure out who would ambush him here. The branches of the trees were rampant in the forest, and it was impossible to ride a horse, and both sides abandoned their horses and fought on foot. "Zheng, Zheng" came the sound of weapons everywhere. The two sides slammed into each other.

Seeing the two people on the opposite side rushing towards him, Zhang Xu's face showed a hideous expression. His long knife swept through. Roared: "Kill!" He thought that the other party was just two ordinary sergeants, and he couldn't stop his sword. It's just that what Zhang Xu expected was a loud bang, and the other two took a few steps back in a row, unharmed.

Zhang Xu couldn't help but sigh, and immediately understood that the other party was piercing, if everyone on the other side had the level of these two people, it was very likely that they would not be able to get out today.

There were exclamations all around, both sides were elites, and they all thought that the other party was vulnerable to a blow, but the first time they fought, basically they didn't get cheap, Zhang Xu was entangled by the two, and the more he fought, the more frightened he became, although the two were forced to retreat step by step by his long knife, the pace was not chaotic at all, and they always used the move of losing and hurting both when they couldn't resist, so that Zhang Xu couldn't turn from attack to defense.

"Hey." Zhang Xu screamed, a knife forced an enemy in front of him to retreat, and then the long knife was raised, slashing at another enemy, a loud sound, the two knives connected, the guard couldn't stand Zhang Xu's strength, the long knife flew out of his hand, Zhang Xu was overjoyed, the knife light was sharp, and he chased the enemy without mercy, the guard lost the long knife, a trace of panic flashed in his eyes, and he had to roll on the ground with a lazy donkey.

"Shhhh Zhang Xu's knife still pulled a long hole in the opponent's arm, the enemy held his arm and groaned loudly, Zhang Xu was overjoyed, and was about to stab him when the enemy who was forced away by him just now had already come up and entangled him.

Zhang Xu still has the upper hand with one enemy and two, the situation of his subordinates is getting more and more cake, the number of the other party is almost twice that of Zhang Xu, with two against one, the other party has the upper hand, and screams sounded in the woods from time to time, basically all of Zhang Xu's subordinates, Zhang Xu already has one person, but soon became one enemy with three, with one enemy and four .......

"My lord, let's go!" The two subordinates collided with each other covered in blood, but when they were still a few feet away from Zhang Xu, both of them let out a scream, and a section of the tip of the knife on their chests was exposed, but it was killed by the person who caught up with the other party.

Zhang Xu glanced around, there were already more than ten people around him, the sound of fighting could no longer be heard in the forest, his subordinates had already suffered casualties, and the other party had stopped attacking and looked at him coldly.

"Who are you?" Zhang Xu stationed with a knife, the battle just now had consumed a lot of his strength, and there was no hope of getting out, but if he couldn't even figure out who killed him, Zhang Xu was unwilling.

"Kill!" Liu Hu waved his hand, and four people in the front and back stabbed at him with long lances, sealing all of Zhang Xu's retreats.

"Porphyry, porphyry" Eight long lances pierced into Zhang Xu's body together, Zhang Xu couldn't avoid it at all, and he still didn't know who ambushed him when he was dying. The last thing he heard was "Clean up the battlefield and cut off his head." ”

Dead or alive, Liu Hu implemented Yang Yong's words very thoroughly, that is, it doesn't matter if he lives or dies, of course the living is not as simple as the dead, not to mention an ambush, Liu Hu clicked, three people have died, more than a dozen people have been injured, how can Liu Hu still have the reason to let Zhang Xu live.

After cleaning up the battlefield, Liu Hu immediately returned to the county seat, and in the face of Zhang Xu's unsightly head, Yang Yong had to take a look at it and was not interested, and explained to Liu Hu lightly: "Bury him." ”

"Yes." Liu Hu responded, but did not move his steps.

"What, what's the matter?" Yang Yong glanced at Liu Hu strangely.

Liu Hu said cowardly: "It is not good to command the army in a humble position, and I sacrificed three guards, please punish Your Highness." ”

The three people who died were all guards of the East Palace. has been following Yang Yong for at least two years, and it is definitely impossible to say that there is no heartache.

Yong is used to seeing life and death, of course, he knows that casualties are inevitable in cold weapon combat, and death, in exchange for Zhang Xu's death, is also a cost-effective one in any case, he sighed: "This palace will not forget the sacrifice of the three people, and will definitely treat their families well." You go down first. ”

Liu Hu grinned and walked down wordlessly, compared to the prince's calmness, he would rather the prince scold him.

A guard hurriedly came over: "Report, Your Highness, Cheng Huangliang of Wanrong County, County Lieutenant Miao Meng asks to see you." ”

Yang Yong put down the sadness he had just aroused: "Pass! ”

Soon. Huang Liang and Miao Meng have arrived at the main hall: "See His Royal Highness the Prince." ”

"Two Aiqing, it's been a hard time these days, please take a seat."

"Weichen doesn't dare!" The two of them gave in for a moment before sitting down halfway next to each other.

Although he was trembling at the two of them, Yang Yong didn't think so. But he didn't mean to correct it, and nodded to Miao: "Miao Aiqing, how is the government soldiers gathering these days?" ”

Miao Meng hurriedly snapped and stood up: "Go back to your lord." There are a total of 9,100 households in Vang Vieng County, with a population of more than 45,000. Among them, 12,537 were drawn according to the ten. Choose its strength. 1,200 soldiers have been re-registered in the office, please look at them Your Highness. ”

"It's hard for you. In just a few days, it is necessary to count the household registration and draw the number of people. ”

Miao Meng hurriedly said: "Back to His Royal Highness, Weichen doesn't dare to take credit, in fact, these Yu Wencheng have already dealt with it, and he has registered all the population households in the county, but he just concealed it from the court." ”

It has been less than ten days since Yang Yong entered Wanrong County, and Wanrong County is also a large county with a radius of hundreds of miles.

"How many of the government soldiers have arrived in the county seat?" Yang Yong asked with concern.

"Back to Your Highness, to this day, 860 government soldiers who have received the government's orders have arrived, and now there are still people coming, all of them are some distant villages, Weichen has ordered everyone to arrive in five days at the latest, and those who fail to meet the deadline will be severely punished."

"Five days." At most, tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, Liang Shiyan's five hundred elite cavalry will arrive, how can he wait for five days, but now there are more than eight hundred people, and it is more than enough to use them to defend the city, Yang Yong doesn't care, and said to Lu Mulin: "Order the guards, let them train the soldiers who enter the city." ”

"Yes." Lu Mulin replied loudly, now most of the people around Yang Yong have to be sent down to serve as the head of the government soldiers, the deputy and other positions, and firmly grasp the rights of the government soldiers.

Huang Liang and Miao Meng were puzzled when they heard this, the prince looked like he was going to fight, but he was still wise not to ask, although the Great Sui world was stable, but the foundation was not deep, Yu Wencheng was only a county commander who dared to hide 2,000 soldiers and horses, which must involve bigger officials, and they had not completely cleared up with Yu Wencheng, so it was naturally inconvenient to ask.

Yang Yong's face softened: "More than 45,000 mouths, more than 9,000 households, Wanrong can be promoted to Shangshang County, well, this palace will report this to the court for commendation, and the position of county commander will be selected from the two Aiqing, even if you don't become Wanrong county commander, it doesn't matter, this palace will recommend another person to serve as a county magistrate in other counties." ”

"Thank you, Your Highness." Huang Liang also stood up from the chair majestically, from the county magistrate, the county lieutenant to the county order, although it is a first-class difference, many people can't survive it for a lifetime, Huang Liang is just that, after all, he is over sixty years old, basically the county order is at the end, Miao Meng is excited and difficult to speak, his county order is personally proposed by the prince, and he will be promoted again after a few years.

"In the past two days, what has happened to the Fan and Yan families?"

The Fan and Yan families had a deep relationship with Yu Wencheng, and for the sake of the temporary stability of Wanrong County, Yang Yong did not move the two of them, but just asked Huang Liang to send people to closely monitor the movements of the two families.

"Back to Your Highness, the sons of the Fan and Yan families have been living in seclusion for the past two days, and they have not made any moves." Huang Liang hurriedly replied.

"Very well, you guys go down."

"Yes, Weichen retired."

"Phew." Liang Shiyan shouted in his mouth, and the five hundred horsemen behind him stopped with him, stirring up smoke and dust in the sky without follow-up support, and slowly drifted away with the wind.

A scout in front rushed over: "Gong Yu, the front is Gao Village, beyond Gao Village is the county seat of Wanrong County, and the humble post has found a shop in Gao Village, let them prepare meals, do you want to fight in Gao Village?" ”

Liang Shiyan touched his numb legs, thinking that he was getting old, and he was a little unbearable after only four days and four nights of traveling, and when he was young, he didn't sleep for seven or eight days and had nothing to do, so he couldn't help but stand up and asked, "What is the movement in Wanrong County, has Zhang Xu arrived?" ”

"Lord Hui, there is no news of Zhang Xu in Wanrong County, but most of the county orders in the nearby counties have arrived, and the prince has received them separately, so he asked everyone to go back."

"Good, good, good." Liang Shiyan said three good words in a row, and was obviously very happy to hear that Zhang Xu had not arrived in advance: "Go to the front and hit a sharp, rest for half an hour and then hurry." ”

"Yes." The crowd responded with a bang.

The shop that the scouts are looking for is still a small shop on the side of the road, and it has to supply food for 500 people at once, so naturally there is nothing to entertain, only some steamed buns and mutton soup, and it is still made with the help of many people in the village, but for Liang Shiyan and his subordinates who have been gnawing dry food for four days, mutton soup with steamed buns is still rare and delicious.

These days, the shopkeeper has seen a wave of officials pass by, and it is the first time that the team of 500 people has seen it, and they are full of doubts in their hearts, for fear that the hospitality will not be good and provoke the temperament of these people, but fortunately, these people have finished their meals like a storm, and the food money is still given, and they immediately cross the horse and leave.

"My lord, there is Vang Vieng County in front of you." Xue Mo'er shouted as he pointed to the towering city wall in the distance.

Liang Shiyan saw that the prince was in Wanrong County, as long as the prince was arrested, the matter would be half successful, he slammed the horse, and the horse was screaming, and galloped towards the gate of Wanrong County.
