"Your Highness, no." Jing Zhao stood up and stopped Liu Ju. He said solemnly: "I think General Yu Shan's choice is more appropriate. Evacuation from land, not only is it slow, but it can also be pursued. The soldiers will not be worried, in case Dongou lines up in Zhejiang and blocks the retreat of our army, what can I do? ”

Liu Ju hesitated, blinked, looked at Jing Zhao, and then at Huan Yuan.

Huan Yuan's face sank. "General Jing, there are more than 10,000 elites in our army, how many people are there in Donou? Just send a thousand people to the riverside to set up a formation, and Dongou can help me. After Zhejiang, there are mountains and forests, and we are safe. What if you're trapped in Matsue? Then go ashore and walk across the whole of Donou? ”

"From Zhenze to Songjiang, but more than 200 miles, down the water, day and night boating, two days can be reached, and no physical strength, is it better than crossing the mountains and forests? This time, he used the general's strategy to go deep into Huiji, although he failed to conquer Wu County, after all, he also seized some property. If you travel by land, do you want to give up all these gains? ”

When it comes to property, Liu Ju's confidence is even more insufficient. He's on a tight day now, and he's counting on the spoils for a while. If you go by land, you will definitely have to give up some of it, which is similar to cutting meat.

Huan Yuan looked at Liu Ju's twisted face, and his heart suddenly cooled half.

Jing Zhao laughed, and said gloomily: "Besides, we came by boat, but now we are going back by land, do we want to leave these ships to the enemy?" General Huan, is this your original plan? ”

Huan Yuan was furious: "If I had followed my plan, we would have returned to Dongye by now, and your father and son would not be separated by yin and yang, and people and ghosts would have different paths......"

As soon as I heard my son. Jing Zhao immediately blew up. He drew his sword. Pointing directly at the door of Huan Yuan. roared angrily: "Huan Yuan, you still dare to mention this matter to me!" ”

Liu Ju was shocked, and hurriedly stepped forward to hug Jing Zhao, and gave Huan Yuan a look again and again. "Huan Jun, you go out first, and I'll think about it later."

Huan Yuanqi was able to hit the ground with a cane, and he didn't even salute, he turned around and left. Jing Zhaobai fell to the ground. Choked up with tears. "Your Highness, this prisoner is so rude, does he still have His Highness in his eyes? I'm afraid that his heart has already gone to Chang'an to enjoy the filial piety of his disciples. Your Highness, be careful of the Crouching Tiger on the side. ”

Liu Ju was embarrassed. The only two generals slandered each other, and it was not easy for him to be caught in the middle.

……

Wu County, Taishou Mansion.

Yan Zhu sat in the center, Taishou Dou Fei was on the side, and Wang Xing sat opposite him, chatting eloquently. Yan Zhu and Dou Qufei have not expressed their position. Just listening quietly, Yan Zhu's eyes were still a little disdainful. It made Dou Qufei very uncomfortable.

King Yan is a big surname in Wu County, but Yan Zhu has a bad reputation in the township. When Dou Qufei recommended him as virtuous, he encountered a lot of resistance. This time, Yan Zhu returned to his hometown, and he looked a little proud, but he was kidnapped in Wangjiangyi, and he made a big ugly. After escaping back to Wu County, Yan Zhu was a little abnormal and too sensitive, and everyone thought that people were laughing at him.

Dou Qufei regretted it very much. I knew that Yan Zhu was such a person, so I didn't pity him at the beginning. It's just a matter of offending people in Wu County, if something goes wrong in front of the Son of Heaven, he, the recommender, will also be affected.

"Wang Jun, how can you be sure that the thief will go from Songjiang? In winter, the water is shallow, and it is inconvenient to sail, how can Yu Shan and Liu Ju not know? Besides, even if they don't know, can Huan Yuan not know? He is Liang Xiao's master, what Liang Xiao knows, he won't know? ”

Wang Xing glanced at Yan Zhu. "Yan Jun has stayed on the island, don't you know that Huan Yuan is not appointed by Liu Ju?"

Yan Suke's face immediately darkened. Wang Xing's sentence is obviously thorny.

Wang Xing's words changed sharply, and he said: "Of course, what Yan Jun said also makes sense. That's why I suggest that Fu Jun prepare for both. Wouldn't it be better for the main force to stay in Wu County, wait for the opportunity, and requisition the nearby people to protect their homes and fight back against the thieves? If you can prepare in time, even if the thieves escape by land, you can still get the ship of Zhenzeli. In case they escape by water, we are prepared and do not have to worry about them slipping through the net. ”

Dou Qufei turned his head to look at Yan Zhu. "What does Yan Jun think?"

The corners of Yan Suke's mouth were crooked, and his eyes were disdainful. "It's a good plan, but if you get lucky, how should you divide the spoils? The king, recruit the people to fight, if there is no reward, I am afraid that the reputation of the king of the government will be hindered. ”

Wang Xing was silent, and a flash of anger flashed in his eyes. However, he immediately regained his composure and quietly looked at Dou Qufei.

Dou Qufei is very difficult. One is an envoy sent by the imperial court, and the other is a representative of the local surname in Wu County, and he can't offend any of them. He thought for a moment and said with a smile: "What the two of you said makes sense. In this way, the army sits in Wu County to ensure that Wu County is not lost, and Wang Jun goes to recruit the people and cooperate with the battle. Anyway, let's drive the thieves away first. The New Year is approaching, so let the people have a peaceful New Year. ”

Wang Xing bowed down to receive the order, turned around and left. Yan Zhu was very unhappy, Dou Qufei seemed to be offended, but in fact, he still accepted Wang Xing's suggestion and swept his face. He coughed: "Wang Jun stays." ”

Wang Xing stopped, turned to look at Yan Zhu, and looked cold. Everyone has torn their faces, and there is no need to pretend to be friends anymore.

"The big war is coming, and I can't have no one around me to protect me. My personal life and death matters are small, and the court envoys are big, if I lose the festival, I am afraid that I will not be able to explain to the court. When Wang Jun saw Wei Qing and the others, he asked them to return to the city immediately, and there was no mistake. ”

Wang Xing arched his hand. "If you can meet it, tell yourself. However, the Zhulang are busy killing the enemy, and their whereabouts are uncertain, so I am afraid that it will not be easy to meet. Please sit in the city and wait patiently. With that, he turned around and strode away.

Yan Zhu's face was pale, Wang Xing's words meant something, which was equivalent to saying that he was in a corpse, not doing business, and interfering with the officials to kill the enemy, which can be described as hitting the nail on the head and showing no mercy.

Dou Qufei was embarrassed, and hurriedly signaled someone to go out to chase Wang Xing, telling him not to be angry and forget about business. The safety of the envoy is a major matter, and the Lang officials must return to Yan Suke as soon as possible. A subordinate official chased him out, and soon came back, and said helplessly: "Fujun, Wang Xing has left." ”

"So fast?" Dou Qufei sank his face and was very unhappy. Can Wang Xing go so fast? Who are you getting?

"Yes, he ...... Riding a horse. ”

Dou Qufei was even more unhappy, got up and walked out, and personally rushed to the door to ask the guards guarding the door. He felt that this subordinate was simply too much, and he didn't even want to make up a lie. Can Wang Xing ride a horse? Occasional riding in peacetime, that is still possible, now it is wartime, he may be in danger at any time, with his riding skills, without the enemy chasing, he can fall to his death.

However, the guard's answer surprised Dou Qufei. Wang Xing did come on horseback, and his harness was very strange, not only was the saddle cocked at both ends, but also there were two more iron rings under the saddle, so that he could put his feet in it, and he looked very stable.

Dou Qufei was suspicious, but he was helpless. Wang Xing had already gone out of the city, and he couldn't catch up at all. He returned to the lobby and explained to Yan Suke. Yan Zhu was also a little surprised, and after inquiring carefully, he still couldn't understand it, so he had to put it aside for the time being, and first went to study the war with Dou Fei.

……

Liang Xiao stepped on the stirrup with his forepaw, his legs between the horse's belly, sat firmly on the saddle, pulled out the bow, and aimed at a group of Minyue soldiers a hundred steps away. When those soldiers saw this, they hurriedly stopped, raised their shields, and carefully protected their vital points. In the face of Liang Xiao, a disciple taught by Houyi Yinghuan Duwei, no one dared to be careless even if he was a hundred steps away.

Liang Xiao smiled slightly and let go.

"Whoosh!" The arrow feathers galloped away, and an arrow struck the foot of a soldier. Most of the Minyue soldiers wore straw sandals, and some even had no shoes, barefoot, and shot through with an arrow. It has to be said that although the Minyue soldiers are fierce and aggressive, they are not elite-their equipment is too poor.

The soldier threw his shield in pain, clutched his feet, and screamed. He had just screamed twice, and another arrow flew at him, right in the chest. He glanced at Liang Xiao, who was smiling with a bow in the distance, and slowly fell to the ground, the look in his eyes quickly dimmed.

Liang Xiao slowly retracted his bow, looked at those Minyue soldiers, and sighed.

Using the speed of the war horses, although they were few in number, they firmly controlled the initiative. If you can fight, you will fight, if you can't fight, you will leave, and if you rush up, you will be killed, and the Lang officials will give full play to this guerrilla tactic and have won a lot. Even the worst of his horsemen shot more than ten people in one morning.

And the price they paid was very small, with only a few minor injuries. On the one hand, there is a speed advantage, on the other hand, it is also because of the equipment advantage, the Lang officials are equipped with iron armor, but the Minyue army rarely has strong crossbows, and the bamboo bows and bamboo crossbows in their hands are difficult to cause substantial damage to the Lang officials.

In the final analysis, it is still a gap in comprehensive strength.

However, Liang Xiao himself was not too excited about this one-sided killing. In his subconscious, the Minyue people were different from the Huns, they were not outsiders. From the Qin Dynasty onwards, Minyue and Nanyue had been incorporated into China's territory, and soon after, they returned to the Han Dynasty and became part of the Han Dynasty. The war was a minor civil war at best, and it didn't deserve much attention.

Of course, Liang Xiao didn't say this kind of thinking to anyone, the Han people still have no national concept, and Minyue is the enemy. The same is true for Minyue, they are also ruthless when they kill the local people of Huiji.

If you want to have a chance to show mercy, you have to subdue them. This is a paradox, and Liang Xiao can't solve it.

Therefore, while he shot the Minyue soldiers mercilessly, he crossed for them.

This mood reached the apex of entanglement when he saw Huan Yuan. Accompanied by Zhong Liqi, Fu Li and others, Huan Yuan sat in a chariot and took Hou Yi Ying and slowly came to Liang Xiao.

Liang Xiao raised his hand and made a gesture, and the officials shouted loudly, greeted each other, and gathered around Liang Xiao. Wei Qing and Li Jiao came from different directions and said in unison: "Ah Xiao, be careful of deception. ”

Liang Xiao nodded. He kicked the skull lightly and walked forward slowly.

"Master, don't come unharmed?" ――
