"What!" Zhao Ming's cold sweat came down all of a sudden, "Oh no, Nanying!" ”

"Is it a sound of sound from east to west?" Xiao Bo also realized the seriousness of the matter, "Was there a time difference between the rebels and went directly through the city to attack Nanying?" And our army can only go around the city, the day is still good, but with the help of the horsepower of the Shenwu army, this big night, it is not an endless plain, and the Shenwu army can't get up quickly. ”

"Three thousand men attacking a camp of a thousand men? The winning rate is only six or four, what will you use to defend the city after the fight? So unwise, it shouldn't be, map. ”

Xiao Bo unfolded the map, Zhao Ming stared at the three locations where the army had built a camp and thought for a long time, his nervous expression finally relaxed, rubbed his eyes that were sour from the butter lamp, and ordered: "The Shenwu army will follow me out of the camp, and go to the rebels who will make people panic three times in one night." The Breaking Battalion remained to defend the camp. ”

"Well, watch out for my cousin." Xiao Bo patted Zhao Ming on the shoulder and reminded him, he was so worried that he was not very worried, the Shenwu Army was all cavalry, and he couldn't run if he couldn't beat it, and there was a hundred-man enemy Feng Wu.

A thousand cavalrymen marched towards the night with torches, crossed the west camp, and divided a ranger into the camp to explain the situation and strictly ordered to hold on, Zhao Ming did not stop in front of the camp and then went south. Until a wooded area not far from the city wall. Zhao Mingcai clenched his fists and signaled, and the whole army listened in the open space no more than a hundred steps away from the woods.

The woods are quite dense and wide, connecting with the mountains. If you don't want to go through the forest, you can only take a detour or extend the formation, which takes too much time, for the rescue of rushing time. Walking through the woods seems like a better option.

There was not a trace of sound in the secluded woods, not even the usual howling of night owls and the neighing of insects and frogs, like a gloomy ghost waiting for sacrifices, only the thick breathing of the war horse behind Zhao Ming brought a little life to this land.

Zhao Ming sat on his war horse, looked at the quiet woods in front of him with a complicated expression, and said loudly after a long time: "Come out, our army will not pass through the forest, let alone rescue the southern camp that will not be attacked at all!" ”

Before receiving an answer from the woods, Feng Wu beside him was surprised: "What? Could it be that the other side did not attack Nanying, but planned to ambush our army here? ”

"Hmm." Zhao Ming raised his voice, as if answering Feng Wu and even answering the other party, "It is impossible for the other party to attack any camp of our army, because it is not worth it!" The rebels had so many men in Ningxian that attacking that camp was only a disastrous victory, but it provided favorable conditions for our army to attack the city the next day. Rather than wasting troops in the attack, it is better to shrink the force and concentrate on defense, and the results obtained from defending the city may not be less than that obtained by night attack. ”

"Then why do the rebels still create the illusion of feints to attack the northern camp and attempt to attack the southern camp?" As a qualified promoter, Feng Wu was very successful and asked with a serious face.

Zhao Ming patted his forehead, and he was convinced by this female general who had a tendon in her brain and an extremely serious attitude.

"Just to lure our army here, it's best to pass through the forest. Just because the camp is not worth it does not mean that the ambush is not worth it. The other party expected that if our army wanted to rescue, it would be the Shenwu cavalry with the best mobility, and the cavalry would only dismount and walk through the forest. At that time, it only took a few small traps to cause chaos in our army, and when the time came, it was killed and stained. It's much more effective than attacking a camp, isn't it? ”

Feng Wu just wanted to speak, but Zhao Ming didn't give her a chance to speak as if he saw through her thoughts: "Do you want to ask if you can go east or west from Beiying to Nanying, why did the rebels decide that our army would go west instead of east?" ”

Looking at Feng Wu's ghostly expression, Zhao Ming felt a little proud in his heart, and his originally depressed mood was much better.

"It's very simple, the east side is facing the mountains, the road is not very easy to walk, and our army has set up a camp in the west and not in the east, any general will subconsciously take the route he thinks is safe. The only suitable place in the west for ambushes is the woods in front of you, either through the woods to eat a trap, or the formation of the team is stretched and beaten head to tail. Rescue, it's time to hurry, most of it is a trap. ”

Looking at Feng Wu's thoughtful expression, Zhao Ming shook his head and turned to face the woods to recover his tired appearance: "Hey, the other side, I've said so much, my tongue is dry." It's okay to give a reaction. So lucky, where is the applause? It's embarrassing for me. I was invited to come just to give the leader a chat for a tael of silver, but when I didn't respond, I had to put two arrows and go back to the camp to sleep, and feed the mosquitoes here. ”

However, after a quarter of an hour, seeing that the other party still did not react, Zhao Ming became a little impatient, he Zhao Ming was really not good at patience.

Anyway, in Zhao Ming's opinion, tonight's meeting is not very necessary, it is just a whim, and under the condition that the strength of the two sides has not changed, it is nonsense to want to rely on the mouth cannon to make the other party surrender, and the brain is in water. If the other party really descended, Zhao Ming couldn't believe it.

Just as Zhao Ming was about to shoot a few arrows and go home, there was finally a reaction in the quiet woods.

"Noble and slow." A low, steady voice rang out in the woods. A middle-aged man with a bearded face and wearing iron armor walked to the edge of the woods under the escort of several guards holding wooden shields, revealing an embarrassed smile, "Your Excellency, my subordinates have set too many traps, and it took some time to clear a path. It's rude. ”

When Zhao Ming heard this, a black line burst out on his forehead, I didn't want to ignore me after waiting for so long, but you forgot that the trap you set up couldn't find a way there? Don't you want to be so oolong!

Zhao Ming forcibly resisted the urge to burst into foul language, looked at the other party's meticulous salute, and asked with some doubts: "Reader? ”

The other party responded with another salute and elegantly: "No, I was lucky enough to be a talent in the next five years, and it is difficult to enter the eyes of nobles." ”

I'll go! No wonder Zhao Ming was a little puzzled, the person in front of him was full of beards, his face was cross-faced, and his complexion was not much whiter than the night. The muscles built all over the body can cut through the north gate from the south gate in minutes, the high-roller or a talented man? Don't underestimate the identity of Xiucai, he is already a figure with a head and a face in a small county town, and there is a seat when he sees the county official.

Zhao Ming forcibly endured the sense of incongruity brought by the murderous practice and returned the salute: "Disrespectful and disrespectful, dare to ask Mr. Daming?" ”

"I don't dare to call Mr. in front of the nobles, the grass people's surname is Wei, and the name is in the period. A cheap name is insulting and clear. Seeing that the nobleman's analysis was very exquisite, he anticipated every move of the grass people, and came to admire the nobleman's demeanor. Wei Xiucai waved back the guards in front of him to show his sincerity.

"You seem to know who I am?"

"The sixth son of the Great Zhao Tianzi, His Royal Highness Zhao Ming, the commander of this counterinsurgency."

"Yo, I know it." Zhao Ming's face was not obvious, and the armor on his leg was lightly tapped with his right hand, which showed that his heart was not as calm as it seemed. "Where did you get the news?"

The other party laughed and said nothing, Zhao Ming had no choice but to arch his hand and apologize, "It's presumptuous, but I still have a question." You can, of course, not answer. ”

Seeing that the other party hesitated and nodded, Zhao Mingcai continued to ask: "Since you know my identity, you also know my movements." Why don't you make a desperate bet to attack the North Camp, as long as you capture me alive, you will win. ”

This question did not seem difficult in Wei Xiucai's eyes, and he quickly gave an answer, "First, because I am not sure." As far as the 3,000 people temporarily trained by our army go to attack the camp of 1,000 people of the Jingzhai Army, not to mention the cruising of the famous Shenwu Army's 1,000-man cavalry, the possibility of being able to attack is less than one percent. I'm afraid it's the middle of His Highness's arms. ”

"Second, whether His Highness believes it or not, someone Wei has never thought of rebelling, and losing both is not the original intention of someone Wei."

"yes, I see. I may already know the answer, so let's ask. Speaking of this, Zhao Ming's face turned stern, and the last few words paused word by word, "Now!" Over here! To fall or not to fall? ”

The ironclad general on the opposite side was a little angry and a little bitter when he heard this, and slowly raised his left hand, "Your Highness, we have surrendered from the beginning, and all we want is the government's all-out efforts to treat the victims, but what can we get in exchange!" More than 900 innocent people died and Wei someone with two fingers! I'll write to you again with what's going on! My Highness! ”

Looking at the missing ring finger and little finger of Wei Xiucai's left hand, Zhao Ming's expression was cold, but he couldn't say anything. Now all the languages pale in comparison with that hand. Zhao Ming could only turn the horse to prevent the other party from seeing his anger: "Then." See you on the battlefield, each with its destiny! ”

"Destiny!" Wei Xiucai had already put down his left hand, extinguished the torch, and retreated back into the darkness.

Zhao Ming has always been accompanied by a face on the return trip, and this conversation made him confirm two things. First, there are really people who pass information to the rebels, and they are not the forces to which the rebels belong, and the other party has great energy, so they can find out Zhao Ming's identity and whereabouts clearly.

This is not something that a small organization can do, whether it is in the capital or in the Jingzhai army, I am afraid that it has its manpower. Fortunately, the intentions of the rebels are not consistent.

Zhao Ming even wondered if this rebel army was arranged by the nameless organization, if that was the case, then the energy of this organization would be too terrifying. This invisible enemy is the most troublesome. The rebels are not so important.

Second, the rebels have surrendered? Why is there no news at all at the court? There is only one repulsion of the rebels' attack on the city and a thousand merit!

Li Huai! What a Li Huai! If Li Huai was now in front of him Zhao Ming, Zhao Ming would never doubt that he would not kill anyone before he would cut it with a sword. What about patrolling the imperial history? What about the officials of the Ministry of Justice? What are these people doing to eat, Li Huai can hide such a big thing.

How flawed is the imperial court's system? How many moths are there in Da Zhao, who is peaceful on the surface, and who keeps dismantling the stage? How many undercurrents are there underneath this?

This problem is not easier to solve than the previous one, should he Zhao Ming deal with it, if you think about it, you know how much power it takes to reform the official system, even if his father may not be able to do it!

If you don't deal with it, will you let these moths hollow out the essence of Da Zhao step by step? This is not a unified dynasty, the Southern Tang Dynasty and Xiyan will not be polite, and it will be a luxury to be a peaceful rich man when the time comes.

Zhao Ming shook his head, driving away these messy thoughts, and now it's time to solve it.
