Chapter 1577: Compromise

A team of more than 1,000 people drove out of the mountain, and under the cover of night, quietly moved towards the place where Liu Wei and the others were stationed.

They thought their whereabouts were secretive, but they didn't know that since the moment they left the mountain, their every move was under the eyes of the scouts sent by Liu Bian.

Dormant in the grass, the two guards dressed in the people's deep clothes always followed the team that was not very numerous, and it looked miscellaneous, as if there was not much combat power.

"I'm here to watch, you go and present to Your Majesty!" Looking at the procession marching through the night, one of the guards whispered a command to the other.

The other guard nodded, bent his waist, and quickly ran towards the place where Liu Wei had ordered him to be stationed.

He ran fast, and the team that was marching in parallel with him was quickly left behind.

In Liu Wei's camp, not even half of the bonfire was lit, and the entire camp fell into a deathly silence.

Not to mention the bonfires, there wasn't even a patrol soldier in the camp.

They did not carry tents, and all the guards and the teenagers of Taojiazhuang lay in the open air in their clothes, and some of them even snored.

Leaning against a big rock, Liu Wei looked up at the starry sky.

The small river not far away flowed slowly, and the sound of flowing water clearly echoed in his ears.

The silence of the night made him feel peaceful, but he also knew very well that this tranquility could not last long.

The thieves in the mountains know his identity and will definitely attack at night!

Although he was followed by palace guards with strong swordsmanship and Taojiazhuang teenagers who dared to fight with fierce beasts, the number of opponents was large after all, and if they really fought, the odds of victory were not small, and casualties were inevitable.

"Your Majesty, the scout is back!" Just looking up at the starry sky and listening to the water of the small river, Wang Zhen ran to Liu Wei's side, bowed to him with his fists and said, "The thief has gone down the mountain!" ”

Hearing that the scout was back, Liu Wei hurriedly sat up and said to Wang Zhen: "Call him quickly!" ”

"No!" In response, Wang Zhen turned around and beckoned to the back.

The scout, who had just returned to the camp, saw her beckoning, hurriedly ran up, bowed down to Liu Wei with his fists in his fists, and said to Liu Wei: "Your Majesty, the thieves have come down the mountain, and there are more than a thousand people, and they are rushing here!" ”

The news reported by the scout was not much different from what Liu Wei expected.

Listening to his report, Liu Wei asked again: "Where is the thief now?" ”

"It's only four or five miles away!" Maintaining a posture of clenching his fists and bowing, the guard said to Liu Wei: "With their footsteps, they can come here in just half an hour!" ”

The guard informed that the thief was coming, and Liu Wei said to Wang Zhen on the side: "Inform everyone, wait for the thief to come here." The young people of Taojiazhuang stayed in the rear, and waited until the thieves were killed, and the guards rushed to kill with me! ”

"No!" In response, Wang Zhen strode towards the resting crowd.

In a moment, all the sleeping people woke up.

Although the guards did not get up, they pressed their hands on the hilt of their swords at their waists.

The young men in Taojiazhuang put their arrows on the bowstring one after another, staring nervously at the direction where the thief was about to appear.

Before going down the mountain, they had also experienced a battle, but the scale of that battle was not large, and with the cooperation of the guards, they were able to completely suppress each other.

But the thieves who were about to dare to come were ten times as numerous as them.

The guards were full of relaxation one by one, as if they could handle it if they came more, but the teenagers in Taojiazhuang looked nervous, after all, ten people beat one person, and they didn't think they could get much cheaper.

Sitting with his back against the big rock, Liu Wei's gaze also shifted from the night sky to the direction where the thief was coming.

I haven't participated in a battle for a long time, but I didn't expect that I would have the opportunity to fight with people in Pishan, not far from Luoyang City!

There was silence in the camp of more than 100 people, and the battle was coming, but no one wanted to say anything at this time.

One by one, the guards pressed the hilts of their swords and stared at the dark mountains and forests.

Their faces were filled with longing and anticipation for the battle, while the teenagers of Taojiazhuang were very nervous in the face of this upcoming battle.

The palace guards were also on the battlefield back then, and they were no strangers to war.

Because they stayed in Luoyang all the year round, they had not seen a real battle for a long time.

The fight in the woods, to them, was like two children playing wine, not worth mentioning at all.

What they are looking forward to is precisely the upcoming battle in front of them.

With less than 100 guards fighting more than 1,000 thieves, it can be regarded as a real battle for them.

The guards were full of anticipation, but Wang Zhen did not feel relaxed.

If it was just her leading the guards here to fight the thieves, she wouldn't feel anything, but Liu Wei was also there!

Now that the emperor is by his side, she must be concerned about Liu Wei's safety, I'm afraid it won't be fun to slash and kill!

From the solemnity on Wang Zhen's face, Liu Wei could see that she was worried about herself, and asked her with a slight smile: "Wang Zhen, do you think that I will drag you down in the fight?" ”

Liu Wei asked unabashedly, Wang Zhen was stunned for a moment, first shook his head, and then nodded and said to him: "Don't hide it from Your Majesty, what the last general is worried about is exactly that!" ”

"Even if you say no, deceive me, it's better in my heart!" Grinning, Liu Wei said to Wang Zhen: "Admit it so frankly, how can you be embarrassed?" ”

Wang Zhen lowered his head when Liu Wei said, clasped his fists and said: "Your Majesty is the Ninth Five-Year Honor, and the last general will not dare to bully the king!" ”

Shaking his head with a smile, Liu Wei waved his hand at Wang Zhen and said, "That's it, that's it, let's fight later, you don't have to take care of me, I will take care of my own family!" ”

"Your Majesty ......" Although Liu Wei said so, how could Wang Zhen leave him alone, and said to him with an embarrassed face: "If there is a fight, there are many people on the other side, and there are few people on the other side, although we can win in the end, the war will start, and Your Majesty must be cautious!" ”

Nodding, Liu Wei did not speak.

As his personal general, it is reasonable for Wang Zhen to worry about him.

Liu Wei was not good, so he said more.

Wang Zhen's responsibility is where the two sides fight, so it is reasonable that he can't kill happily.

Thinking about it, Liu Wei can also understand Wang Zhen's mood.

It's not entirely because she can't afford to deal with it, so she asked Liu Wei to take care of her family when she faces a fight, she is more worried that if Liu Wei has three longs and two shorts, the world will be chaotic again.

After all, Liu Wei's sons are still young, and they are not completely calm today.

At this time, if something goes wrong with him and the Han Dynasty is revitalized, I am afraid that it will soon be chaotic.

"Majesty!" The people in the camp were ready to fight, and a figure ran from a distance, and the figure rushed into the camp, shouting as he ran: "The thief is coming!" It's only 300 steps away! ”

The night covered the land, and there was no human figure more than a dozen steps away, let alone more than three hundred steps.

The thieves who came down from the mountain were also cautious all the way, and did not dare to put their steps too seriously, and they did not have war horses, so they had come so close that if it were not for the scouts who came to report it, the people in the camp would not have found their deposits.

Holding the hilt of the sword tightly, hearing the shouts of the scouts, the guards in the camp were ready to come forward and fight.

The enemy was already very close, and the young people of Taojiazhuang who followed Liu Wei and others here were holding longbows one by one, and their nervous palms were dripping with sweat.

"Your Majesty, what should I do?" Knowing that the other party had arrived nearby, Wang Zhen asked Liu Bian.

The two sides fought hard, and the guards with superb swordsmanship would not suffer too much, but after all, the opponent had a large number of people, but casualties were inevitable.

The reason why Liu Wei asked this sentence is that Wang Zhen's intention is also obvious.

She also wanted to find a way to kill more opponents and suffer fewer casualties.

Looking at the dark night, Liu Wei thought for a while, and said to Wang Zhen: "You lead the sixty guards, divide the two sides to the local flank, remember not to attack them lightly, until I lead the guards who stay in the camp to fight with them, and then you lead people to fight from the flank!" ”

Liu Wei asked her to lead her men around the flank ambush, but Wang Zhen was stunned for a moment and did not respond immediately.

took away sixty people, and there were only more than thirty palace guards who followed Liu Wei, and those Taojiazhuang for many years, fighting with a small number of opponents, may still have combat power, but once they face a crowd of enemy troops, they are afraid that they will lose their courage!

After all, not only have they not experienced a real battlefield, but they are also young!

"Your Majesty is in danger of your life, and you will be forgiven in the end!" Holding his fist and arching towards Liu Wei, Wang Zhen tilted his head to the side and said to him: "The last general thinks that it should be His Majesty who leads the young man of Taojiazhuang to retreat, and the last general and the guards will step forward and kill the thieves, which is the most appropriate!" ”

Since Wang Zhen followed Liu Bian, she has never dared to disobey Liu Bian's will in front of him like today.

Staring at Wang Zhen, Liu Wei's face became more and more solemn.

was watched by Liu Bian, Wang Zhen's heart fluttered, but she still maintained a posture of clenching her fists and facing Liu Bian, and never had the intention of backing down.

After a while, Liu Wei finally nodded and said to Wang Zhen: "Since this is the case, I will lead the young men of Taojiazhuang to retreat first, and this place will be handed over to you and the guards." ”

Liu Wei is not a good emperor, especially on some principled issues, once he has made a decision, it is impossible to change it.

didn't expect Liu Wei to compromise so easily, and Wang Zhen was also stunned.

Although she was stunned for a moment, but in the bottom of her heart, there was a burst of heartfelt joy, and she hurriedly hugged her fists and said to Liu Wei: "Thank you, Your Majesty!" ”
