Chapter Seventy-Three: The Trail of the Yue People

On the east bank of the Oujiang River, dozens of Yue people sat quietly in the reeds on the riverside around a swarthy Yue young man, these people were full of wounds, everyone was pale, and the young man was even more tearful. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Can't we really go back?"

When he asked this sentence, the dozens of Yue people sitting around him all bowed their heads in shame, silence was the best answer. After they escaped from Banpo Village by night, the north road was blocked. They have been desperately fleeing west for the past few days, but the heavens seem to have played a joke on them. When they finally got out of the terrible dense forest, they saw not a village but a wide river.

Su Shang was discouraged at the moment, the ambition when he left the royal city had already been frightened by the scene of the escape in the past few days, and the only thing that supported him to get to the present was the words shouted by the military advisor when he left Banpo Village.

"Su Shang, you must go back, you must bring the news back. The survival of the Su clan depends on you! ”

"We must go back, we must go back!" Sushang seemed to be mad and shouted in the reeds. At this time, the cry of the donkey was extremely miserable, like the unwilling cry of a wanderer who was about to die in a foreign land at the last moment of his life. Like the wail of a giant beast before it dies, and the whimper of a young bird after fasting.

"I can take you there"

It seemed that God had heard the prayer of the monk, and a voice drifted into the ears of the monk and struck him in the heart.

………………

Standing on the lookout, Ying Xu looked at Zhao Cheng leading more than 3,000 Qin cavalry, pressing more than 3,000 slaves, and disappearing into the sunset with more than 30,000 military rations.

Instructing Zhang Feng to abandon Banpo Village and return to Zhuji immediately, Ying Xu ordered the guards, and Ying Xu faintly felt that it was not a simple matter for the Yue people to attack the military rations. If he is the commander of the Yue people, the primary goal must be to destroy the grain route of the Qin army, if the Yue people are not fools, the Yue people who crossed the Oujiang River must know where is the seven inches of the Qin army. Hit the snake and hit the seven inches, and scratch the neck. It's all a weakness.

In the evening, Yingxu gathered all the generals of the pearl diving and told his guess.

"Childe means that the Yue people are likely to attack Zhuji again?" An elderly shogunate official asked.

"It's not impossible, the more people may make a sound and attack the east and west. Doctor Zhang: "This Doctor Zhang (da, fu) is definitely not a good bird, otherwise he would not have dropped the 3,000 cavalry originally stationed in Zhuji to Zhao Cheng to transport grain."

"Well, it's not unreasonable, but wouldn't the Yue people attack the grain convoy and get more, is the son too worried?" Dr. Zhang touched his beard and pretended to be a literati.

Ying Xu scolded in his heart, not everyone wants to stare at the head like you, their purpose is to defeat the idea and confidence of the Qin army to conquer Baiyue.

"Tell me all?" Ying Xu saw what other people thought, is it really as the doctor said that he was too worried, but he is a doctor who has won the title of military merit, and he should be a little more knowledgeable than himself, the first brother on the battlefield.

Zhang Hu covered his head and brain, scratching his ears and cheeks, obviously not knowing who made sense, but Zhang Han lowered his head and thought, while Zhang Feng was eager to try, and the other shogunate generals bowed their heads and were silent, obviously not listening to Yingxu's words in their ears and taking them to heart.

"Let's talk first!" Ying Xu pointed at Zhang Feng and said.

"The subordinates think that the Yue people are very likely to attack the pearl diver, just imagine that the Yue people have made a big circle from the upstream, is the purpose to get more. Where is it to fight with General Wang in the upper reaches, why bother so much, so the Yue commander who attacked the front of our army this time is by no means an idle person. After Zhang Feng finished speaking, he stepped aside.

"I don't think so, the goal of the Yue people is to collect pearls and pellets in the army, and if we wait for them to be stationed, we will kill one, and we will kill a pair if they come, just to add military merit to me!" A stout young five-hundred-hundred-man lord said.

"Well, Zhang Bugen (title) said it well, if the Yue people come, let them know how sharp my Qin people's sword is." Another five hundred lords said casually.

"Well, you think that the Yue people's heads will be supported and you can't cut them off." Zhang Hu saw that these people were very disrespectful to Ying Xu, and said loudly.

"Hmph, here's a place for you to speak!" Zhang Bu glared at Zhang Hu.

"I said, what are you doing?" Zhang Hu said.

"Okay, be quiet, Zhang Han, you say!" Ying Xu couldn't subdue these arrogant generals for the time being, and stopped Zhang Hudao.

"The more people are good at sneak attacks, we should be careful, and the last general thinks that we should take precautions." Zhang Han said.

"Well, it's better to take precautions." The old official Dr. Zhang also said,

"The kid is just coming to war, but he is only going to take precautions for this, my Qin people can dominate the world, and it doesn't just rely on blindly fighting bravely. Then please ask Dr. Zhang to make some arrangements! Ying Xu heard that Zhang Feng had the same concerns as himself, and thought that it didn't seem to be his own imagination, indicating that there was such a possibility. shows that he really has the talent to lead soldiers to fight. Predicting the enemy first is the keenest talent to become a famous general. But looking at these arrogant generals, Yingxu can only hope that Dr. Zhang can implement as much as he wants, and do his best to obey the destiny of heaven.

Although Ying Xu really wanted to arrange for Dr. Zhang, he was only a grain transporter as a grain supervisor, and if he didn't have the skin of a prince, he would not have the right to participate in today's meeting, let alone lead the discussion in the field. Fortunately, this Dr. Zhang was still in awe of his identity as a prince and gave him a little thin noodles.

Lined up the troops, Ying Xu had no right to participate, and asked Zhang Feng, Han Sui and others to bring the three thousand slaves under his command, and Ying Xu patted his ass and walked out of the camp.

These shogunate generals are still very arrogant, and they respect Yingxu on the surface, but it is difficult to say in private, it seems that they still do not put the Yue people in their eyes, and they may be able to remember it for a long time if they suffer a few losses. Ying Xu thought secretly.

The next day, Ying Xu saw that although the defense of Zhuji had been double-guarded, there was no other defensive measure, the generals were still eating and drinking, some soldiers were also sunbathing leisurely, and the slaves had already leveled a large area of land in front of the Zhuji camp. Now began to build a large road along the east side, and according to the requirements of the shogunate, the Qin army planned to build a road from Zhuji to Huiji. In this way, Fujian and China can be effectively connected, thus forming a situation where sea and land routes are combined.

Just when Yingxu was standing in the pearl carving and looking into the distance, suddenly the road to the east fell into chaos, and Yingxu, who was standing on the camp, only heard the cry of "snake, snake king".

"Let's take a look!" Ying Xu took Zihui, who was also on the camp, and walked towards the chaos. Chinese people love to be lively, which seems to be the characteristic of the nation. Many of the shogunate generals I saw also left the camp and came east.

Since Yingxu couldn't ride a horse, he fell behind. Zihui next to him pulled a running slave and asked what was going on.

The slave opened his mouth wide and gestured to Zi Hui and said a few words. Zihui said to Yingxu after listening.

"Did they dig into the snake's den? It's full of snakes that are as thick as a human being, and I heard that there are more than a dozen? ”

"Snake Nest? I haven't seen it," Ying Xu wondered.

"Childe, the more people worship snakes, digging into the snake's nest is regarded as a bad omen!" Zihui explained

"Really?" You also believe this, Ying Xu looked up at the lush woods around him, thinking that it couldn't be someone who made trouble. If so......

Ying Xu secretly thought that it was not good, maybe it was the Yue people who deceived him, and he wanted to kill the senior generals of the Qin army here, so he buried the snake nest and deliberately lured the generals of the Qin army to come and see. Tu Sui took this trick. Looking at the surrounding woods, Yingxu felt more and more that this was like a giant mouth, waiting for the arrival of its prey.

At this time, on the mound next to the snake's nest, a middle-aged man with short stature and red skin sat quietly in the grass, the trees completely covered his short figure, only his reddish-brown eyes leaked out, and behind him crawled a Yue man with a straw hat, they were like a mamba snake waiting for their prey, quietly blending into the woods and grass.
