Chapter 12: Deliberation
Outside the nameless valley, I saw that at the entrance of an open field, there was a camp built on the mountain, the flag was fluttering, and there were a group of soldiers and horses patrolling, showing a solemn atmosphere, in the big tent, there were two officers and soldiers kneeling on the ground, the general in the tent, the face was pale, without saying a word, and one officer and soldier kept bleeding from the broken ear.
After a while, the general stood up abruptly and said to the next herald: "You quickly go to Fuyang to report the situation here to Lord Geng, and say, Captain Geng has entered the mountains to deliver food, the epidemic people have rebelled, kill the officials and rob the grain, please Lord Geng quickly dispatch troops to exterminate this chaotic people!" "Yes, the herald went out of the tent with a fist clenched.
The general asked again: "Lao Li, you are also a veteran, you have not suffered any major injuries in this expedition to Qiangrong in the west and Wuhuan in the north, why did the boat capsize in the small ravine this time?" ”
The soldier's surname is Li, his name is Li Hu, he is a member of the Dongqiang clan in Luoyang, his ancestors are all captains of Dongqiang, passed to his father Li Xian, because he is upright, he offended the prison army, and it happens that the prison army represents the interests of the powerful people of the dynasty, and it happens that there is no war in East Qiang and West Qiang, so Li Xian's family was pushed to the end, Li Xian was imprisoned, and soon after he was beheaded in prison, the whole family of men, women and children was sent to Youzhou, Li Hu because of his strong body, so that he had a good knife technique, good at military affairs, these years of the East and West have followed the army to rebel, not to mention the achievements of the war are also considered to have made repeated military exploits, But because, the magnates of the imperial court deliberately suppressed, Li Hu is a long time now, and his heart is naturally dissatisfied, after a long time, it is inevitable that he will become a little cruel and killing, Li Hu heard the mockery of the captain, walked out of the camp without saying a word, looked up at the sky, Li Hu let out a long breath, perhaps, this life is like this, suddenly remembered, the young man who was not afraid of death, was knocked down by him again and again, but stood up again! Li Hu's heart throbbed, this son will become a great weapon in the future!
In the valley, Duan Chen watched Yin Ran come back with Yin Lang, as well as Zuo Mei and a group of others, he already knew the seriousness of the situation, and was gathering everyone to discuss countermeasures, Duan Chen, Yin Ran, the three Zhao brothers, Ah Chang, and because of Zuo Mei, who performed better this time, everyone was silent, Ah Chang stood up suddenly, and said with red eyes, The officers and soldiers killed my teacher, I don't share the sky with the officers and soldiers, there is nothing to discuss, we will not die with the officers and soldiers! The more he talked, the more manic he became, after saying these words, Ah Chang rubbed and pulled out the knife that had just snatched the official army, and pointed at the two idlers who ran back in advance, they are all you two wretched! Today, I'm going to kill you first! Make a sacrifice for my teacher! was about to come forward to kill these two, as soon as these two people saw that their lives were not guaranteed, they were immediately frightened into a cold sweat, and hurriedly crawled to Zhao Wu, begging, fifth brother, fifth brother, help us, we are from Xiaohe Fort? Yes, yes, the other person hurriedly chimed in, my cousin's niece is still your cousin's daughter-in-law! Fifth brother! We're both related
! Say something!
Zhao Wu's face was gloomy! Without saying a word, as a ruffian bully, and a fierce ruffian bully, Zhao Wu has never been a person who bullies the soft and is afraid of the hard, and there is a blood in his bones, he looks down on these two cowards from the bottom of his heart, but he can't help but express his position, if something happens to the younger brother and he doesn't stand up and speak, then the team will be difficult to bring, and the people's hearts will be scattered!
Zhao Wugang was about to stand up and say two words begging for mercy, but unexpectedly, Yin Ran ran over with an arrow, strangled the neck of one of the guys from behind, and stabbed him in the back fiercely, this is not the end, and turned the short knife vigorously, the man was suddenly struck, and he wanted to say something in his mouth, but because his neck was strangled, he could only make some strange sounds, Yin Ran pulled out the short knife, and threw it away, and the person fell to the ground like a puddle of mud......
When a person next to him saw this scene, he was very scared, and he was so frightened that the feces and urine flowed out, and he retreated again and again, and he didn't even say the words of begging for mercy, and before Zhao Wu could speak, he saw Ah Chang holding a knife around the kid's neck, and pulled hard, the man was in pain, so he covered his throat and fell down, and he didn't know what the bloody mouth was talking about......
Zhao Wu saw that these two people were cleaned up cleanly, and he didn't want to say anything, so he had to say, these two guys, there is more than enough success and more failure, and there is more than enough death, Brother Yin, Brother Achang, kill well!
Duan Chen raised his hand slightly, signaling everyone to be quiet, next, the officers and soldiers will definitely regroup and enter the valley, what should we plan next?
Yin Ran said, Brother Duan Chen, the top priority at the moment is to coerce the old and weak as much as possible, create momentum, so that the officers and soldiers outside the valley do not dare to enter the valley, the officers and soldiers outside the valley see that we are powerful, they will inevitably move reinforcements, we take advantage of this time to rest for a period of time, as much as possible to expand some teams, only with manpower, we are not afraid of more officers and soldiers.
Zhao Wu, this guy, seems to have a rebellious gene and a violent bloodline factor in his bones, as soon as he heard that he was holding the old and weak and fighting against the officers and soldiers, Zhao Wu's interest came immediately, and he immediately echoed and said, not bad, Brother Duan, when the time comes, we will be outnumbered, and defeating the officers and soldiers outside the valley is just around the corner, we can go out of the valley and attack the state and county, first go down to the valley, and then take Yuyang, attack the county in the north, and follow Youzhou in the south. Hahaha! Zhao Wu smiled a little carried away......
Before Duan Chen could speak, Zuo Mei said, what the five brothers Zhao said is good, but let's not talk about attacking Yuyang and taking Youzhou, just say, how to defeat the officers and soldiers outside the valley? Now the officers and soldiers outside the valley must be insufficient, so seeing our great momentum, so we have to move the rescue troops, when the time comes, it must be the state soldiers who come, and it may even be the elite Youzhou soldiers and horses brought by King Yan himself, not to mention that there are only 3,000 old and weak here, even if it is 3,000 elite soldiers, they have to weigh and weigh, this plan is not realistic in short, I don't approve of it.
Zhao Wuda retorted loudly, what people don't have is that when the time comes, as long as we go out of the valley, attack the prefectures and counties along the way, and coerce the people, won't there be more and more of our people, and when the time comes, are we still afraid that we won't be able to deal with some officials and soldiers? Speaking of this, Zhao Wu's eyes were red, and he looked at Duan Chen excitedly, Brother Duan, you can also say something! Shall we do this or not?
Duan Chen laughed and said, Brother Zhao's idea is good, but, just like Brother Zuo said, we do this, all kinds of harm and no benefit, once we put up the anti-flag, then we will face the Youzhou army, and even the imperial court soldiers and horses will come directly to suppress it, now there is nothing to do inside and outside the court, the soldiers are strong and strong, let's make a fuss, don't we set ourselves up and roast ourselves on the fire?
Yin Ran said, then, what is Brother Duan going to do? Duan Chen smiled slightly, we just need to let those old and weak make some momentum, create more, so that the soldiers and horses outside the valley dare not enter the valley, before the officers and soldiers come to help, we have a lot of time to do what we want to do, we can train the old and weak, give them weapons, and even food, so that they mistakenly think that the situation is very good, we take the opportunity to cross the valley and leave here, as long as we cross the border, we are a hidden dragon into the sea, and the eagle strikes the sky!
Hearing this, Zhao Wu, Zuo Mei, and Ah Chang all agreed, but Yin Ran was a little entangled, and asked, Brother Duan, in this way, aren't we just taking advantage of those old and weak people and borrowing knives to kill people? When the time comes, the officers and soldiers will go into the valley, if they start to kill? How do the old and weak in the valley deal with themselves?
Duan Chen said, Brother Yin, in this troubled world, people will not be destroyed for themselves, if you are willing to stay with these old and weak, then stay..... Hearing this, Yin Ran's face changed.......
