In the middle of the night, the rest of the forest was pitch black, except for the moonlight and starlight, which could penetrate the heavy shade and fall to the ground.

"Ahh

In this pitch darkness, screams continued to sound, making this already strange place even more terrifying.

"Who, who are you, are you a human or a monster, no matter what you are, I'm not afraid of you, you hurry up and come out for me, come out, don't you want to arrest me, I'm here, you come to arrest me!"

Under the dim light of the stars, a figure fell to the ground, holding his thighs and trembling, and the miserable cry came from his mouth, and not far from him, a group of three people surrounded a thick tree trunk, their faces were full of fear and looked around, behind them, Niu Qianjin, who was also full of fear, was holding a long knife, screaming wantonly.

The reason why Niu Qianjin and his party are like this is because of the mysterious person, when the mysterious person appears, although they pay attention to it, they are not worried, dealing with one person, the five of them, even if the other party is in the dark, they are in the light, they are not afraid.

Unfortunately, the results were often unexpected, and when the ghost-like figure appeared lightly, injured Lehman at once, and disappeared without a trace, they finally began to panic.

The process of waiting is always the most difficult, and this taste of waiting for death is not something that ordinary people can bear, in this case, Niu Qianjin can only relieve his fear through this powerless venting.

"Sure enough, he is a barbarian, not only is he vulgar, but he is even so unstrong-minded."

On an ancient tree dozens of zhang away from Niu Qianjin and the three people, Le Bu, who was ordered to capture Niu Qianjin, sat on the trunk of the tree leisurely, watching the behavior of Niu Qianjin and several people, and even drank a sip of wine in the kettle from time to time, which was not like a pursuit, but like a tour.

With Le Buping's skills, it was not too difficult to subdue Niu Qianjin and others, but he didn't do it directly, except for just now when Niu Qianjin and others were about to escape, he shot and injured a Niu Qianjin guard, he didn't take any other action.

It's not that Le Buping intends to slack off, but Duan Jian told him that he must capture Niu Qianjin alive, in case after he killed those guards, Niu Qianjin was unwilling to be captured, and he fought hard or committed suicide, wouldn't he fall short, so in order to best complete the task, he only used this method to consume the strength of Niu Qianjin and others as much as possible, and when they couldn't stand it, he was capturing them.

Niutouling Black Bull Tribe

After a night of fighting, after everything was settled, the sky was about to lighten, although he didn't sleep all night, Duan Jian didn't feel the slightest sleepiness, standing on a high ground, watching the sun rise from the clouds little by little, making Duan Jian feel infinite happiness in his heart.

"Hahaha, hahaha"

Looking at the nascent rising sun, Duan Jian couldn't help but burst out laughing.

"Why did Lang Jun laugh, could it be that he thought of something interesting."

It was no one else who was asking, it was Su Wan'er who had been following Duan Jian's side, since Duan Jian led the troops south, Su Wan'er seemed to have really become a maid, taking care of Duan Jian's daily life in every detail, and in last night's battle, Su Wan'er had been following Duan Jian with armor and armor, carefully protecting him.

Hearing Su Wan'er's question, Duan Jian gradually stopped laughing, shook his head and said, "I'm laughing at the things in this world are really ridiculous, when I was young, my family was poor, and I was able to stand on the mountain every day and watch the sunrise and watch the sunset, but at that time, I didn't really pay attention to these, but thought about what magical things were in the place outside the mountain, thinking about the life of people outside the mountain, but when I succeeded, I missed the disdainful life more and more, and even sometimes thought about leaving everything behind. Back to that kind of peaceful life, unfortunately, until the end did not realize, and today, I saw the rising sun, this moment seems to let me go back to the past, how can you not dare to make me feel funny, it turns out that in this world, the most ridiculous is yourself! ”

As she spoke, Duan Jian couldn't help but look at Chaoyang again and laughed, leaving Su Wan'er with a burst of doubt in her heart.

She didn't understand the true meaning of Duan Jian's words, and she didn't understand how Duan Jian, who had been adopted by the Wang family since she was a child, could have been poor, and she didn't understand what Duan Jian meant by the last moment, but she understood one thing, the current Duan Jian was the truest self, and what he said was the deepest desire in his heart, and at this moment, these true emotions in his heart were only heard by her, as long as she had these, she was enough, and she didn't understand other things, and she didn't want to understand.

"Pedaling"

A rush of footsteps broke Duan Jian's laughter and Su Wan'er's infatuation.

"Governor, I just received an urgent eight hundred miles from the imperial court." After Chen Guotai walked to Duan Jian's side, he said hurriedly.

"Hmm"

Listening to Chen Guotai's words, Duan Jian was stunned, it stands to reason that he pacified the Jianzhou Rebellion, and the entire Lingnan land has been completely stabilized, how could the imperial court have eight hundred miles to rush to send it at this time, for a while, a bad thought appeared in Duan Jian's mind.

As soon as he took the urgent letter written on the cloth from Chen Guotai's hand, Duan Jian looked at it eagerly, only half of it was rude, Duan Jian's face instantly changed color, and under the excitement, his hands trembled, and he almost couldn't even grasp the letter, letting it fall to the ground.

"How can this be, how can this be, wasn't it good when you came, why did this kind of thing happen all of a sudden, and what did those magistrates do, they didn't even find out when it came to the end, and raising a dog is much stronger than them." After looking at the letter again, Duan Jian was completely furious, and couldn't help but look up to the sky and roar.

At the same time, it was not only Duan Jian who had changed, but Su Wan'er, who was standing beside Duan Jian, also saw the content of the letter clearly, after reading it, her body shook for a while, if she hadn't barely held on, I am afraid she would have fallen to the ground long ago.

Like Duan Jian, she also muttered to herself in a low voice.

Seeing Duan Jian like this, Chen Guotai immediately understood that something terrible must have happened, so without Duan Jian's consent, he took the letter from Duan Jian's hand, and at this glance, his eyes couldn't help but widen, as if he had seen a ghost.

In fact, it is true, the content of the letter is not complicated, it is just a notification of one thing, but this matter is something that no one can think about.

It turned out that not long after Duan Jian led his troops south, a huge rebellion broke out in the land of Jiangnan, and the mastermind was the powerful Tiandao Sect in Jiangnan.

No one knew that the Heavenly Daoist Sect actually had such a huge strength, overnight, launched more than 100,000 victims, and at the same time launched a rebellion in more than ten prefectures and counties such as Suzhou, Changzhou, Yuezhou, Huzhou, etc., because the matter was too hasty, the local government did not make preparations, and overnight, these places all fell into the control of the Heavenly Daoist Sect.

Such a huge rebellion immediately attracted the attention of the imperial court, but unfortunately, the border army, which was originally going to be transferred to Jiangnan to quell the rebellion, had to move to the southwest because of another large-scale invasion of Tibet.

Because there was no strong military force to suppress it, the rebellion of the Heavenly Daoist Sect became bigger and bigger, and in just over a month, it actually occupied dozens of prefectures and counties in the entire south of the Yangtze River, and the soldiers reached Yangzhou, an important town in Jianghuai.

In desperation, the imperial court could only recruit local troops to go to Jiangnan to suppress the rebellion, and the army led by Duan Jian was also one of them.

"Brother Chen, immediately convene all the generals and colonels to discuss the matter of going north to quell the rebellion." After panicking, Duan Jian gradually regained his composure.

"Yes."

Soon after Chen Guotai received the order, all the generals and colonels of the Tang Army, as well as Ma Cao, the leaders of the army of the victims who surrendered in Jianzhou, were concentrated.

At this critical time, Duan Jian was not too verbose, but asked Chen Guotai to simply inform everyone of the matter, and sure enough, just like Duan Jian just now, after listening to Chen Guotai's explanation, the big tent was completely messed up.

You must know that these generals and the soldiers under their command are all government soldiers from various states and counties in Jiangnan Province, and now when they hear that there is a rebellion in Jiangnan Province, it is equivalent to saying that there is a rebellion in their own homes.

Looking at the big tent in a mess, Duan Jian shouted a few times to calm everyone down, looking at the many generals who were extremely excited, Duan Jian said, "Okay, I know that the generals are very anxious, but now that things are like this, it is useless for us to be anxious, for today's plan, only a quick discussion can be done, you all talk about what we should do now." ”

"Governor, I want to return to Jiangnan immediately, now the rebels are strong, and the troops in Jiangnan are thin, if we don't return quickly, if it's too late, the rebels will probably form a momentum, and then we will be very passive." As soon as Duan Jian's words were finished, a general spoke.

"It's certain to rush back, but you also heard it just now, the rebels are strong, although most of them are rabble, but the army of more than 100,000 is not something we can deal with, we must always find a target first, and we must slowly figure it out." Chen Guotai said.

"What is the choice, then Suzhou is the nest of the rebels, if we can take Suzhou, the rebels will definitely collapse."

"Nonsense, we all know this truth, but you have to know, since Suzhou is the nest of the rebels, how can they easily let us in, you have to understand, if you want to enter Suzhou, you must pass through Yuezhou, Huzhou and other places, with thousands of us, want to fight all the way, not to mention that the daylily is cold, I am afraid that we are almost dead."

"If you say that, we can only fight with those traitors, don't forget, there are more than 100,000 rebels, and we only have a few thousand, how to fight."

Looking at the generals who were blushing one by one, Duan Jian felt irritable in his heart, originally his idea was to gather these people and discuss a good way, but he didn't expect that the method that these people came up with was useless, thinking of this, he regretted it for a while, it was not as good as him and Chen Guotai making their own decisions, and it would save trouble.

"Brother Chen, Zhou Xing, Duan Shui, do you have any ideas, the entire Jiangnan and the rebel army are too powerful, more than 100,000 soldiers, dozens of prefectures and counties, with our people, if you want to exterminate them, you can only hit them with one blow, otherwise, you can only become their sword ghost." Duan Jian asked Chen Guotai and Zhou Xing.

"Governor, in fact, there is no need to be too anxious about this matter, the land south of the Yangtze River is a big money and grain land for the imperial court, it is impossible for the imperial court to let the rebels rage, now it is just a temporary delay, and when we free up our hands, we will definitely send a large army to come, we had better find a way to contain the rebels now, not to let them attack the city recklessly, but I don't know if there is anything wrong with Suzhou, if Suzhou is fine, we are stationed in Suzhou, but it is the best choice." Chen Guotai said.

After listening to Chen Guotai's words, Duan Jian nodded secretly, but Chen Guotai's words did not make him feel relaxed, after all, there was no practical effect, and what Duan Jian needed now was the most effective way to fight the rebels.

At this moment, Zhou Xing on the side opened his mouth and said, "Dudu, I have an idea, I don't know if it's feasible." ”

"Say, now, whether it is feasible or not, say it first." Duan Jian said.

"If Lang Jun wants to fight the rebels and let the rebels have no time to take care of it, it is actually a good opportunity at present, but I don't know if this opportunity is feasible, after all, it has been a month since the rebels revolted, and if we return with the army, I'm afraid it will be half a month." Zhou Xing said.

Hearing Zhou Xing's words, Duan Jian suddenly became interested, "Oh, let's talk about it, whether it can be successful or not, you can talk about what to do first." Duan Jian asked.

"Lang Jun, the letter passed by the imperial court wrote that after the rebels captured dozens of prefectures and counties in Jiangnan Province, they turned to the north, depending on the situation, they wanted to take the opportunity to take the land of Jianghuai, so they would launch a large army to attack Yangzhou, and a certain idea was that if Yangzhou City had not fallen now, then after such a long time of fighting, the rebels would definitely suffer heavy casualties and morale.

Since these rebels can attack Yangzhou, they must be the elite of the rebels, if we can take this opportunity to surprise the rebels outside the city, it will definitely cause great damage to the rebels, maybe they can also defeat this rebel army in one fell swoop, when the time comes, without these elite rebels, the remaining rabble will not need much effort to solve. Zhou Xing explained.

"Hmm"

Zhou Xing's strategy is one, not only Duan Jian, but even Chen Guotai's eyes are shining, which shows that this strategy is really good.

Ask for collections, ask for recommendations, ask for support
