Chapter 178: Crisis
The river was turbulent, constantly flapping the warships with the flag of the Shu army, Kong Ming and Yang Yi looked at the situation on the shore with a smile in their eyes, and their joy was already on the surface.
After all, the Shu army at this time has already taken over the situation, and if it goes on like this, it won't be long before the battle will end!
Once the Gaoding Department was eliminated this time, Ma Zhong led the troops to capture Jike, and then Zhuge Liang could cooperate with Li Hui's middle route army to eat the reinforcements of Yizhou Yonghong, and then went deep into the hinterland of Yizhou, pacified Yizhou, and finally achieved the pacification of Nanzhong.
Thinking about the next step in his heart, Kong Ming inadvertently paused, and the fan in his hand froze there, not moving.
Being next to Kong Ming, Yang Yi immediately noticed the changes in Zhuge Liang, and then he was a little puzzled, why did the prime minister do this? Could it be that you thought of something that you hadn't thought of before?
"Prime Minister, what's wrong? But what's wrong? ”
didn't answer Yang Yi for the first time, Kong Ming's eyes narrowed slightly, he didn't know what he was thinking at this time, and after a while, the hand holding the feather fan was rearranged on the railing, looking quite uncomfortable.
"Dexu, you quickly take 5,000 people ashore, along the mountain and forest paths, to the east, about three or four days away, there is a mountain pass, the terrain is low in the south and high in the north, it is an ambush place, you lead people to ambush there, if you find traces of the rebels, you must delay them, at least for more than two days!" Kong Ming's words revealed a thick eagerness.
Although Gong Lu didn't know why he was so good, the prime minister would suddenly order him to march eastward, and he seemed to be very anxious between his words, as if something unfavorable had happened: "No! ”
After the resignation, Gong Lu immediately left the preparation.
"Wei Gong, quickly order Guan Xing to lead 5,000 people, camp in five miles, all over the rivers along the way, and ensure that the rivers are in our hands!"
"No!"
Although Yang Yi was also puzzled, he still followed Kong Ming's orders first, after all, he knew how to measure proportions, and now it is the most important thing to arrange it as soon as possible, and it is okay to ask the reason later!
On the warship, the drums sounded suddenly, and many soldiers on the shore looked for prestige, among which Guan Xing was full of puzzlement, and then he was even more unwilling, Gao Ding was about to be taken down, but the prime minister let himself go back? Why?
Even so, Guan Xing still complied after all, he was quite rational and would not act righteously, and this may be the reason why Kong Ming asked Guan Xing to come back, not Zhang Bao back.
Because Zhang Bao followed his father, his face was flushed at this time, and he was obviously angry, and it was obviously impossible to call him back!
With a long knife in hand and a slight tremor in the reins, Guan Xing turned his horse's head and jogged backwards.
Seeing Guan Xing retreating, Zhang Bao's face was full of confusion: "Brother, this is going to win Gaoding, do you really want to go?" You don't want this credit, I can take it! ”
"Alas!" With a sigh, Guan Xing's legs clamped sharply, and he drove his horse at speed.
"If you want it, it's yours!"
Walking to the shore, I saw Guan Xing, his left hand on the horse's back, the whole body immediately jumped high, stepped on the horse's head with the sole of his feet, jumped into the river, jumped to the halfway, crossed his steps in the air, stepped lightly in the air, and then fell to the boat.
The operation attracted the applause of the Shu army on the ship.
"Prime Minister, what are the instructions for the last general to come?"
Similarly, Yang Yi was also curious about why Guan Xing was asked to guard the river, but instead let Zhang Bao take the credit, could it be that the prime minister was biased towards Zhang Bao?
No, according to what Yang Yi has seen and done since he followed the prime minister, he doesn't believe that the prime minister will do such an unfair thing!
Seeing Guan Xing's arrival, Kong Ming did not hesitate, and hurriedly said: "Anguo, you quickly lead people along the river to refuse, five miles and one battalion, close contact, be sure to protect the safety of the river, always in our hands." ”
"Prime Minister, why is this?"
Seeing that Guan Xing was a little reluctant, Yang Yi asked first, which could be regarded as avoiding any verbal conflict between the two.
didn't care about other people's emotions, Kong Ming asked: "An Guo, you and Zhang Bao have fought with Gao Ding, how do you feel about Gao Ding?" ”
"Although it is a seventh-order fourfold realm, its strength is much weaker, as long as you give a certain half a pillar of incense time, you will definitely be able to kill this guy!" Guan Xing's face was full of disdain, and the second half of the sentence was even more pointed, and it was not difficult to see from the tone that he was somewhat dissatisfied in his heart, who doesn't want to make a contribution on the first expedition!
Automatically ignoring Guan Xing's emotions, Kong Ming spoke: "Anguo, you and carefully observe Gao Ding!" ”
At first, Guan Xing pursed his lips, and he was very angry, but after a few breaths, he still looked at it with some curiosity, and seemed to want to know what the prime minister was going to do.
Standing at the railing in front of him, although Kong Ming didn't look back, he seemed to feel Guan Xing's movements, and then continued: "Gao Ding's men have more than 10,000 soldiers and horses, and they can manage them in an orderly manner, you just look at their evacuation organization, although there are still casualties, but it is still much more effective." ”
"If it had been another rebel army, I am afraid that it would have been wiped out long ago! And it is the person who can bring out this army of soldiers and horses, how can he be so cowardly, you look at Gao Ding's movements, although they are tangible, they seem to be very slow, especially the eyes, confused, clearly mixed with thick fear! ”
"Although you and Zhang Bao are brave and have just advanced, they have never been shown in front of the world, this is your first expedition, Gao Ding is so afraid of you?"
His brows were slightly clustered, and Guan Xing's eyes were confused: "Prime Minister, what do you mean?" ”
"A certain suspicion, this Gao Ding is fake!"
When this remark came out, everyone around was shocked!
"Prime Minister, that's the seventh-order fourfold realm, it's not Gaoding, who else can be in such a realm?" Guan Xing seemed reluctant to admit it and retorted.
"Seventh-order fourfold, have you noticed those people next to "Gao Ding"? ”
"It's just some guards, protecting him!"
When Kong Ming heard this, he smiled and said: "Look at their positions, they seem to be messy and have no chapters to find, but they are deliberately following a certain law, and the most important thing is that you look at their foreheads!" ”
Hearing the prestige, Yang Yi and Guan Xing found that there were dense beads of sweat on the foreheads of those people.
"They haven't made a move, and they're so tired just standing in their seats? Do you think it's possible? ”
Yang Yi, Guan Xing can't answer a little, the soldier has Xuan Li, and his physical fitness is much stronger, so he will definitely not stand for a while and sweat profusely, so they know the answer, but they are embarrassed to say that they were tricked!
"Therefore, a certain bold thinker that the person who fights with you and Zhang Bao is by no means Gao Ding, but only raises his own realm to the seventh order and four folds through external forces, and because of this, he will be timid, after all, you are really a seventh-order strength, but he is a fake, it is inevitable that he will have no confidence, and those who protect him are afraid that they are the ones who form a magic circle for him to exert his seventh-order strength."
As he spoke, Kong Ming's eyes trembled slightly, and he always had a feeling of uneasiness in his heart, but where did this uneasiness come from?
