Chapter 35 Cutting the Weeds and Eradicating the Roots
Zhao Wanqi stood there, her little face was flushed, her teeth were clenched, she couldn't help but go crazy, and a few sleeve arrows in her sleeves were about to move......
"Oh, this son became a father so early?"
At this time, a young man's voice suddenly came from the cliff, laughing The Xia soldiers were just about to laugh again, and they felt a little right, and hurriedly looked back, on a hundred-meter-high cliff behind them, a thirteen or fourteen-year-old boy squatted on the edge of the cliff, looking at them with a smile.
"He, it's the prince, be careful, he has a hidden weapon, a shield to block it...... Archers ready! ”
These dozens of Xia soldiers were suddenly in a big mess, and hurriedly pulled out their bows and arrows and aimed upwards at She Yi, as if they were facing a great enemy, and even their legs were trembling......
"She Yi? You............ It's not dead! ”
Zhao Wanqi's scolding words that she had just prepared were swallowed into her stomach, and her mouth opened into an "O" shape...... It took half a ring to come back to his senses. Unexpectedly, in such a dangerous situation last night, She Yi really didn't die. It seems that he really has some ability, could it be that the Red Lady's flying knife skills were taught to him?
She Yi on the cliff didn't pay attention to those Western Xia soldiers, and still looked at Zhao Wanqi with a smile.
"Hey, I haven't seen you for a few days, and you're developing well, and you've come all the way to recognize your father?"
The corners of She Yi's mouth curled, she smiled slightly, and her eyes looked at Zhao Wanqi's chest.
"Little thing, when you are lifted out of the clean room one day, you will not see a woman in a pair of eye sockets and look at it randomly. It's not down yet, you heard what the county lord said before, right......"
Zhao Wanqi said viciously.
The dozens of Xia soldiers looked at Zhao Wanqi and She Yi back and forth, muttering in their hearts, could it be that this woman is really the county lord of the Song Kingdom?
"Well, that's right...... You also saw it, it's not that my son doesn't want to come down, it's that they watch closely, and it's not thanks to you. Forehead...... The one you can shout and say, Xiaoyu, what's going on with them? ”
She Yi hesitated and asked.
“…… What's going on? The east road is guarded by Xia soldiers, and the north road is blocked by bandits. Hurry down the mountain, be the military advisor of the county lord, counterattack into the city, and kill these dogs...... How is it? ”
Zhao Wanqi touched the tip of her nose with her hand, the corners of her mouth curled, and two shallow dimples appeared on her face.
"Counterattack into the city? You still have such a grand ideal, which really makes Xiaosheng admire...... Stupid woman, find a way to run for your life! Look over there......"
She Yi pointed in the direction behind Zhao Wanqi, Zhao Wanqi turned around and looked, in the distance, dozens of Western Xia cavalrymen with bows and arrows rushed in her direction......
"Wow, this son flashed first......"
Zhao Wanqi jumped on the horse's back, slapped the horse's back violently, and the black horse neighed and disappeared...... As soon as she left, a dense rain of arrows fell where she had stayed before.
"Huh!"
She Yi on the cliff smiled, raised his eyes and looked into the distance, southwest to Suide City, the east gate has been opened...... The Xia soldiers completely occupied Suide City, and on the city wall, a large banner with the word "Xia" was written, and it was hunting in the wind...... The heavy red color seemed to be soaked in the blood of countless lives...... It smells bloody in the wind.
The dozens of cavalry landed where Zhao Wanqi had stayed before and stopped. On horseback, a red-faced man with a tiger's back and a bear's waist looked coldly at Zhao Wanqi's disappearing back.
On the horse next to him, riding was a middle-aged man in a white robe with a white face and gloomy eyes. These two people are naturally Li Yanyi, the general of this Xia army, and Sun Wei, who joined the army.
"Strategist, prepare men and horses, surround the mountain and capture that thief!"
Li Yiyi's eyes stared at She Yi on the cliff motionlessly, and She Yi also looked at him motionlessly. It was the first time they had seen each other's true faces clearly.
"General, this matter is not urgent, hundreds of women and children in the city fled to the direction of Wubao, our top priority is to capture them back to the city first, and then it is not too late to encircle and capture this thief."
Sun Wei said slowly.
"There are my Great Xia defenders in Wubao, so there is no need for us to worry."
Li Yanyi's gaze was still staring at She Yi on the cliff.
Sun Wei was silent for a moment, his eyes were blurred, he patted his horse and walked to Li Yanyi's side, leaned his head over and whispered.
"General, those hundreds of women and children, most of them are beautiful women, and our soldiers have held the field for a long time, and they are not full of the joy of men and women. Rather than letting the defenders of Fort Wu kill these hundreds, it is better to capture them back to the city for our soldiers to have a good time...... What does the general think? ”
Li Yan was shocked, retracted his gaze, and turned his head to look at Sun Wei.
"Strategist...... This is not appropriate, we have captured the two cities of Suimi, and the subjects of these two cities are the subjects of Great Xia, how can we do such a thing. If the Holy One knew about what happened yesterday, he would have blamed us and others. The military advisor also saw it, if it weren't for the slaughter of Mizhi in the city last night, the residents of the city would not have resisted so hard today! ”
Li Yanyi shook his head......
"General, if you don't cut the grass and don't eradicate the roots, there will be endless troubles. It is said that the people who fled ahead included the family members of She Fuzhuang, the county governor of Suidecheng, and the old and young of the county magistrate Ding Pantong, and not all of them were ordinary people. That She Fufu is a descendant of Shefu in Taiyuan, Song State, and he is very valued by the family, and he is likely to be the next generation of Shefu family heads. She Fuzhuang's wife, Ding, is the daughter of Ding Pantong. In case they were lucky enough to escape, Ding Pantong's head was still hanging above the city gate, and She Fuzhuang, as his son-in-law, was instigated by his wife Ding, how could he not take revenge? We didn't stop doing anything, and we captured the hundreds of women and children who had escaped. Let the soldiers of our army be happy, and kill them all. She Fu stiffened and lost his wife and children, and he was bound to marry a wife again, and after a long time, he might not be able to keep this revenge in his heart! ”
Sun Wei said word by word and seriously.
"This ...... Well...... Strategist...... What he said is reasonable, the Shejia army in Taiyuan is indeed good, if it weren't for them to guard Taiyuan, the rivers and mountains of the Great Song Dynasty would have fallen into the hands of the Liao. As for those who are family members and children, after they are caught, don't do it yet. If the Song army attacked the city of Suide and our army was defeated, these hostages would be of great use. ”
Li Yanyi was thoughtful.
"Okay, the subordinates will lead the troops forward, and the general will wait for good news."
Sun Wei slapped his horse and left......
Li Yiyi turned his head and looked at the edge of the cliff, the cliff was empty, and there was no trace of She Yi for a long time. Li Yanyi pondered for a moment, still not at ease with Sun Wei, and explained to a deputy general beside him.
……
Mantang River, Yellowstone Ridge Crossroads.
Ah Wu took these two teams of men and horses to wait here, and the next intersection was to Wubao, where the Xia soldiers and the army were fighting, and they went to it, it was like a wolf in the tiger's mouth. This intersection is the direction of the northwest Jia County Village, to the Jia County Village, cross the Yellow River to reach the border of the Great Song Dynasty on the other side, but the mountain road is rugged, the Jia County Village is located at the junction of the Song, Xia and Liao three countries, chaotic, there are thieves who fall into the grass in Baiyun Mountain, there is no lack of strong martial arts people, almost never serious (regular, positive meaning) businessmen or pedestrians pass, She Fu stiff led the group of people and so on to go there to suppress the bandits, it is said that there is no success in encirclement and suppression.
"Could it be that the county lord's idea is to cross the Yellow River through Jiaxian Village and return to the border of the Great Song Dynasty? It's just that the high road in Zhaishan in Najia County is dangerous, and it is difficult to walk normally, and now it is not easy to pass safely with a group of women and children......"
Ah Wu muttered to himself.
"Big ...... My lord, are we waiting for the county lord? ”
Han Shizhong asked Ah Wu.
"Well, right here, you pay more attention, and report to me in time if there is any noise nearby."
Ah Wu said lightly, at this time, he had the demeanor of a general.
"Yes."
Han Shizhong retreated to a distance, commanding those soldiers to inquire about the wind in the distance.
At this moment, it was noon, and the sun's rays shone fiercely on the people, making people unable to resist, and some of them were weak women and children sitting under the big trees in twos and threes, talking in low voices. They have no way of knowing whether the city of Suide was captured, and whether their husbands and relatives are still alive...... There are many people who still fantasize that Ding County Ling led the soldiers defending the city to defeat the Xia soldiers, and then took them back to Suide City to reunite with their relatives and rebuild their homes together.
