"Does the general know that a catastrophe is coming?" Wu Cheng continued: "The prince ordered that the soldiers of each county be disguised as bandits and bandits, and ambushed on the road that the general must pass, wanting to kill the general, and also issued a reward, taking the general's head, rewarding a thousand gold, and sealing the general."

Damn, so ruthless! "Then if you come here to report the news, you are not afraid that the prince will pick your skin?" Wang Xu immediately asked.

Wang Xu's question was vulgar, Wu Cheng frowned, extremely embarrassed, and it was not enough to talk about big things; I really don't know why the prince wants to find such a stinky child to be a general.

"General Hui, Hongtian in this county in 952 raised filial piety and honesty into the scholar, and served in Wanling County for 20 years, thinking that he was still a clean official; The son of the world does not follow filial piety, and wants to usurp his position, which is really an unfaithful and unfilial person; How can this county be with him? ”

"The general is the prince himself, the prince is trying to harm in vain, and the county came to tell him after knowing about it, what is the crime? What if the prince knows? ”

Wang Xu really couldn't understand that such a person who was against the son of the world could still live until now, and he had been the county magistrate in Wanling County for twenty years, which was really incredible; However, Wang Xu didn't know that Wu Cheng was in this big tent today, because Wang Xu was the prince's person, and it would be beneficial and harmless to draw a clear line with the prince, if he got out of this big tent, it would be to give Wu Cheng a hundred guts, and he wouldn't dare to slander the prince like this, wouldn't it be looking for death.

"Okay, the county magistrate is clean and self-conscious, and he really admires it" Wang Xu bowed his hand in respect, and then said: "What is the county magistrate here today?" Let's just say it." Wu Cheng looked around, and after confirming that there was no one, he whispered: "The three major families of Li, Zhao, and Qian in Wanling County have more than 2,000 private soldiers, and they are ready to ambush the general when he passes by Wanling County, the general is careful."

"Why are you talking so quietly? It's not a thief, it's in the general's barracks, who dares to eavesdrop"

If Wu Cheng is not lying, according to what Wu Cheng said, two conclusions can be drawn; First, Wu Cheng did come to report the news, and the purpose of the report is unknown; Second, the three major families want to use the power of ambushes to take their own heads to invite merit from the son.

"Then do you know where the private soldiers of the three major families will ambush our army?"

Wu Cheng thought hard for a long time, and in the end, he couldn't think of where the three major families would set up an ambush, so he shook his head and said, "I don't know."

"The county magistrate don't have to worry, there are only two thousand rabble, don't worry, Ben will try to deal with it, you can go back and wait for good news; The county magistrate can tell him calmly today, and I will remember it in my heart, and when I return to the royal city to restore my life, I will ask for credit for the county magistrate in front of the prince." Wu Cheng grinned and said, "Then thank you general."

Wu Cheng walked out of the barracks, Wang Xu immediately called Huang Quan, the three of them sat together, Wang Xu asked: "Two brothers, what are your plans?" ”

Sun Yu glanced at Wang Xu and said proudly, "The general doesn't have to worry, what family private soldiers, in my opinion, are just a group of ruffians and rabble; With the silver spear in my hand, a thousand will come and a thousand will die, and tomorrow the general will only order people to beat the drums and see how I can repel the enemy." Wang Xu was speechless for a moment, and scolded angrily: "You cow has gone to the sky; Where did your master teach you the art of war? Hurry up and give me a plan."

"General, Sun Yu's words are not unreasonable" Huang Quan looked at Sun Yu, remembered the power of the silver spear when Sun Yu robbed the camp the day before yesterday, and said: "The so-called family private soldiers are usually formed by some ruffians and bullies, they have not gone through any decent battles, maybe more than half of them have not even killed anyone, and they will only oppress the people on weekdays; To deal with this kind of person who bullies the weak and fears the hard, my strategy is to counter violence with violence."

"What do you mean?" , Wang Xu asked.

Huang Quan continued: "Tomorrow, if we encounter the enemy, our army does not have to fight with it, just let Sun Yu ride forward to challenge, if the enemy does not dare to fight, it will affect its morale, if it meets the battle, it will be sent out, with Sun Yu's bravery, I am afraid that there is no one to beat, we will kill like this, kill him cold, when they are full of courage and fear of the enemy, we will raise the whole army to kill, it will be decided in a battle."

"Well, good idea" Wang Xu clapped his hands and praised, until now, Wang Xu found out that Huang Quan is actually quite powerful, but he lacks the opportunity to show himself; Although Sun Yu is strong in martial arts and proficient in the art of war, he lacks actual combat experience and needs to be honed more. "Sun Yu, tomorrow's battle, do you dare to step forward and call for battle?" Sun Yu looked indifferent, smiled softly, patted his chest and said, "General, just look at it, the young general has never been afraid."

"Okay, it's all up to you tomorrow."

The sky had just dawned, and the sun was shining.

Wang Xu's grain team, the third watch made rice, and the fifth watch set off, after more than an hour of marching, marched nearly ten miles; In front of the army, Wang Xu, Sun Yu, and Huang Quan marched side by side, the army moved slowly, and sent more than a dozen scouts to the front.

"Report" a scout Pegasus came to report "General, the little one has probed all the way to a distance of twenty miles, and has not found any enemy troops."

"If you don't find the enemy, you come to report something, and then you will report again" Wang Xu's horsewhip was raised, and a whip was whipped on the back of the horse where the soldier was sitting, and the soldier hurriedly turned his horse's head and ran forward, Wang Xu shouted loudly behind him: "If you can't detect the enemy, you don't have to come back."

Huang Quan raised his eyes and said worriedly: "General, there are as many as 2,000 private soldiers of the three major families, how can they not find traces, we should be careful."

"Well, that's right, order the army to rest in place and march after the enemy situation is discovered." As soon as Wang Xu gave the order, the whole army stopped, and the soldiers all sat on the ground.

"Report to the general, find out the enemy's situation" The scout soldiers turned over and dismounted, and reported: "On the left flank of our army, the enemy army has been discovered, about 1,000 or so."

Now Wang Xu didn't understand, since he was here to block himself, he should have appeared in front, why did he run to the left" What do the two brothers think? Huang Quan thought for a while and said: "The three major families have a total of 2,000 private soldiers, but the scout said that there are only about 1,000, so it can be seen that the three major families have ambushed the other 1,000 men and horses somewhere, and it is very dangerous if we just go over like this."

"Since they are not in our way, there is no need for us to provoke them in the past, and the subordinates suggest that the army move on."

Although Sun Yu did not have much experience in actual combat, he was familiar with the art of war, and immediately denied Huang Quan's suggestion: "No, if our army continues to advance, they will definitely attack the rear of our army, and then we will be more dangerous, and my subordinates suggest that we immediately move closer to them and wait for an opportunity to eliminate them."
