Chapter 121: Back to the City Disputes
Yanzhou City.
Since Zhao Xun left with the Huolin Army, under Zhao Xun's arrangement, Su Yun has strengthened the defense of Dongcheng, and appeared on Dongcheng from time to time, always paying attention to the changes in the Dongcheng government army and the people outside the city. In the past five days, the soldiers outside the East City did not launch an attack on Yanzhou City, it seems that they have no intention of acting again because of the defeat last time, but Yanzhou City does not dare to relax at all, the last time there was Zhao Xun, in a critical time, rescued Dongcheng, but now Zhao Xun has taken people out of Yanzhou City, if in danger, but no one will help. At the same time, Zhao Xun didn't know who spread the news of leading people to rescue the besieged Long Xiang Army, and the officials of Yanzhou City basically knew about it.
"My lord, Commander Zhao has been out of the city for five days, and there is no accurate information so far, will it be ......" Above the east city, Wu Tong, who was driven out of the west city by the Huolin army, said to Su Yun, who was something.
Su Yun frowned and said, "What do you want to say?" â
Wu Tong sneered and said, "The small one is not interesting, it's just talking." â
"Do you have no confidence in Zhao Xun? Or do you have any ideas? Su Yun sneered.
Wu Tong hurriedly said: "The adults misunderstood, the little one doesn't mean anything else, it's just ...... It's just that this Zhao commander only took 3,000 people out, not to mention the more than 13,000 people under the city, that is, Zhumaping, it is said that there are more than 18,000 people, can they kill them back? â
Su Yun looked at the eastern sky deeply, and said slowly: "If it were someone else, maybe it wouldn't work, but Zhao Xun, I believe, he will definitely be able to." â
"Really?" Wu Tong also looked far away at the east and fell into confusion: Zhao Xun! Can you create a zĂ o miracle?
"By the way, Wutong, where did you hear the news that Zhao Xun went out of the city to rescue Long Xiangjun?" Su Yun suddenly asked.
"My subordinates also heard what the other captains of the Dongcheng guards said, I don't remember exactly who it is, in short, everyone knows."
Su Yun secretly wondered: Who spread this news? Could it be Sima Yun?
It was naturally not Sima Yun who spread the information, Sima Yun did not receive a secret letter, so naturally he would not make such a move to shake the morale of the army, and the Longxiang army stationed in Maping was trapped, such a news was enough to greatly reduce the morale of the soldiers defending the city.
In the Duwei's Mansion, in a luxurious room, a thin middle-aged man was reporting the situation to Sima Qi.
"Young Master Sima, I have already spread the news, and now the officials of Yanzhou City, large and small, know that Zhao Xun went to rescue the Longxiang Army stationed in Maping, and he took the treasury of the Governor's Mansion of Yanzhou City and made a military order to go."
Sima Qi said: "Very good, Lao Xu, thank you very much this time, you will go to Steward Zhang to receive a reward of five hundred taels in a while, remember, this matter cannot be known to anyone." â
The middle-aged man lowered his head and replied, "Don't worry, young master, the little one knows how to do it." â
After the middle-aged man left, Sima Qi's face was distorted, and he said hatefully: "Zhao Xun, I must bring you down this time, I don't believe that you can rescue the trapped Longxiang army from more than 18,000 cavalry with 3,000 people." â
"Young master doesn't need to be like this, as long as Zhao Xun comes back, he will definitely not be able to escape, even if he doesn't lose a single person, he will be notorious and will no longer be famous. At that point, it won't be as difficult as it is now to bring him down. A somewhat obscene middle-aged man in his forties appeared from behind the tent and said.
Sima Qi said: "I don't know something, why don't you spread the news thoroughly, Lao Zhang, in that case, if Zhao Xun returns as a wolf, won't he be spurned by all the people, and wouldn't it be more beneficial to our follow-up plan?" â
"No, it is already the limit to spread it to the generals in the city, if it is completely spread, it will be the crime of spreading rumors, it will cause riots, and it will even let the government army and government officials mix in, in case something goes wrong and involves us, it will be a capital crime. The young master is still careful, if you want to inherit Lord Sima's family business, you have to be cautious. â
Sima Qi waved his hand and said impatiently: "Okay, okay, let's not talk about this, Young Master Ben is in a good mood today, let's go, let's go out for a walk." â
"Didn't Lord Sima let the young master stay in the mansion?"
"If you don't go out, I'll go out by myself, don't ramble on it anymore." With that, Sima Qi walked out of the room. The obscene middle-aged man shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Alas, what a gentleman! â
"Sister Ruolan, let's go out together, stay here every day and suffocate to death." Li Xinyan said listlessly to Li Ruolan, who was embroidering something beside her.
Li Ruolan said: "Miss Li, now that the war is chaotic, it is really not suitable to go out, besides, my husband is not here, and I can't make trouble for him." â
"Alas...... I knew that I wouldn't be in Yanzhou Mansion, so it was better to stay in the eldest brother's barracks in Youzhou. Li Ruolan sighed.
Seeing Li Xinyan's listless appearance, Li Ruolan put down the embroidery in her hand and said with a smile: "Since Miss Li is really depressed, I can go out with you to have a look, and I should accompany you to relax, but I can't come nonsense." â
Li Xinyan hurriedly walked to Li Ruolan's side, took Li Ruolan's hand and said, "I know that Ruolan will not let me stay in the house like any middle school." Ruolan, you better change into men's clothes first, so that it will be convenient for us to go out. â
Thirty miles east of Yanzhou City, a black line gradually appeared, getting thicker and thicker, and the speed of squirming forward became slower and slower. A fiery flag waving in the wind, and the fiery red unicorn fluttering in the wind.
"Lord Zhao, where did you get your more than 2,000 war horses?" Zhang Meng slowly slowed down and asked. Three days ago, after Zhao Xun reorganized his troops, a team of 1,000 people rushed to Zhao Xun's camp with more than 2,000 horses and three days of grain and grass, so that a total of 6,000 soldiers all became cavalry, or soldiers on horseback.
"These are all captured by me from the fine work arranged by the Yan people in Yanzhou Mansion, and they are not worth mentioning." Looking at the neat 6,000 army behind him, these heroes soared.
In three days, nearly 3,000 Longxiang troops were transferred by various squads to carry out temporary training, but these three days of military appearance training made Longxiang army suffer enough, but at the same time, they also admired the soldiers of the Huolin army.
"Commander Zhao, what should we do now? Kill back to Yanzhou City? Xue Lei asked, this place is close to the patrol range of the Warrior Warriors.
Zhao Xun looked to the west and said coldly: "I originally planned to quietly withdraw to Yanzhou City, but in the past three days, our horse exploration rangers have not found that the Yan Ya people who have withdrawn from Zhumaping have sent a message to the Yan Ya cavalry under Yanzhou City. I want to give them a fatal blow, what do you think? As he spoke, the spear in Zhao Xun's hand pointed straight to the west.
"Attack their camp? It's not impossible, we have the effect of surprise soldiers, but in order to achieve the most perfect effect, we need the cooperation of the soldiers in the city, otherwise, the fifteen thousand cavalry will soon be able to surround us in turn. Xue Lei said in a deep voice.
Zhao Xun said with a smile: "It is not only the soldiers in Yanzhou City who cooperate with the attack, but also the 5,000 Huolin army who rushed over from the West Gate, including 2,000 cavalry and 3,000 foot soldiers, who will attack from the southwest side at that time." We attacked from behind, and Yanzhou City attracted the enemy head-on. At that time, our soldiers will not be inferior to the Yan people, not to mention, there are less than 13,000 Yan people under the East City. â
"Five thousand Fire Lin Army? Commander Zhao, to be honest, how many people do you have? Xue Lei asked in surprise.
Zhao Xun said indifferently: "Not much, there are more than 10,000 people who can go to the battlefield!" â
"Hiss......" All the generals and colonels of the Long Xiang Army present took a cold breath, more than 10,000 people can still participate in the battle, in other words, plus new soldiers, there are more than 10,000. Thinking of the kind of training method of the Fire Lin Army and its combat effectiveness, everyone was secretly frightened.
"General Xue, General Zhang Meng, we still need to go to the city, and we still need to solve some problems if we want this operation to be carried out perfectly."
Xue Lei naturally understood what Zhao Xun meant, and said, "Okay, let's go back to the city with you." â
"Zhao Ning, you and the Dizi Battalion are temporarily hidden in Shanglin Village and its surrounding areas that we have abandoned, don't let the people of the Evil Horse find out, as soon as there is any action, I will send someone to inform you. Luo Qi, with the Guzi Battalion, followed me through the West Gate. â
After the merger, each of the three battalions is 2,000 people, as for the Long Xiang Army, it has been forgotten by the soldiers intentionally or unintentionally, since the adults above have no opinions, how can we be small soldiers have opinions, and besides, the treatment of the Huolin Army is no worse than that of the Long Xiang Army, but its treatment of family members is a few times better than that of the Long Xiang Army.
"Young master, look, isn't that the carriage of the Zhao Mansion?" A guard pointed to the huge carriage that was slowly moving forward not far away and said to Sima Qi.
Sima Qi, who was scanning the pedestrians on the street, looked up, and not far ahead, more than thirty knights were guarding a huge carriage drawn by four sturdy grassland steeds, and on one side, a small flag that was not very obvious made all the pedestrians look sideways.
"Fire Qilin, Zhao Xun!" Sima Qi's eyes were red, and he said angrily.
"Young master, let's not go over, they have thirty people." The middle-aged man surnamed Zhang, who was plotting for Sima Qi, hurriedly pulled Sima Qi, who wanted to move forward, and said.
"Let go, there are thirty of them, don't we also have fifty, what are you afraid of! Come with me. Breaking away from the middle-aged man's hand, Sima Qi led more than fifty people to greet him.
"Stupid, there are fifty of us, but they're all Predators who have killed people, but what about us? Damn it, I hope nothing goes wrong. â
"Who? Out of the knife! Defense! Zhang Shan, the sentinel of the escort lady's trip this time, saw a group of more than 50 people standing straight towards him, and shouted loudly.
"Stabbing ......" A series of sounds, more than 30 long knives came out of their scabbards with cold light, making the already small number of pedestrians on the street dodge one after another. The guards patrolling in the distance also watched from a distance, not daring to intervene, and clearly recognized the identities of both sides.
"Stop!" The guards shouted in unison.
"Haha, it turned out to be someone from the Huolin Army, I heard that the Huolin Army went out of the city to rescue the Long Xiang Army, and I don't know if I can come back, without Zhao Xun, you still dare to be so presumptuous!" Sima Qi, who was startled by the shouts of the guards and soldiers, said angrily.
"Where did this bastard come from, let's go out and teach him a lesson." Li Xinyan said angrily in the carriage, I was going to have a good time, but I didn't expect to encounter such a thing as soon as I came out.
Li Ruolan hurriedly grabbed Li Xinyan, who wanted to go out, and said, "Go elsewhere, be careful of hidden arrows." The outside will be handed over to the people of the guard battalion. â
Zhang Shan sneered: "Oh? Who am I, it turned out to be the waste whose leg was broken by my family, what is the intention of blocking my way today? Do you want to be interrupted again! With that, he looked at Sima Qi fiercely.
Sima Qi's face turned pale, and he said angrily: "Bastard! The reproach of the past will be returned to him today. There must be Zhao Xun's family members sitting in the carriage, and today Ben Gongzi is going to break their legs. Xu Wenliang, get over to this son! â
A team of patrol guards a hundred meters away walked out with an ugly face, I wanted to see the excitement, but I didn't expect to be given out by the lieutenant's nephew. I had to come to Sima Qi's side, salute and say, "Xu Wenliang, I've seen Sima Gongzi." â
"Xu Wenliang, take down these people for me, and I will promote you to the third level!"
"This ......" Although Xu Wenliang was moved, he was even more afraid of Huolin Jun, that Zhao Xun was not easy to mess with.
Sima Qi smiled: "Zhao Xun can't come back, what are you worried about?" Even if you come back, you will have the Governor's Mansion to support you. After that, he said gloomily: "If you don't do what I say, I will let your family be ruined!" â
When Xu Wenliang heard this, his heart trembled, Du Wei's nephew wanted to rectify himself, and that was a matter of one sentence. Gritting his teeth, he shouted: "Fifth team! Arrest these thrashers! â
Xu Wenliang gave an order, and fifty government soldiers rushed straight to the carriage with murderous spirit.
"It seems that there is going to be a big killing, brothers prepare!" Zhang Shan said coldly, but he didn't take this group of government troops to heart, because he had an urgent clarion call and could summon the West Camp at any time.
"Yes!"
The thirty knights also raised their long knives and looked coldly at the government army that rushed over, without the slightest fear.
Sima Qi looked gloomily at the two sides that were about to start the war, and a crazy smile appeared in his eyes: Zhao Xun, I want to break all your legs, and Su Ran, I want you to surrender to me.
"Kill!"
The Fifty Mansion Army lined up to kill the Thirty Knights who were also waiting for the battle.
