"Therefore, Wu Shaocheng will definitely not be too wary of our Shannan. Wu Shaocheng neglected us and waited, and he would inevitably transfer troops to the north. Wu Shaocheng is now terminally ill, but Wu Yuanqing's prestige is insufficient, so Li Yu thinks that in order to establish Wu Yuanqing's prestige, Wu Shaocheng will inevitably try to win a big victory with Wu Yuanqing as the main general. Huaixi has been divided for 30 years, repeatedly defeated the official army, and has long disdained the soldiers and horses of the neighboring roads, so he will inevitably choose one of Adie Guangyan and General Wu Chongyin as the object of Wu Yuanqing's prestige. And the strength of General Wu Chongyin's department is relatively weak, and he is responsible for defending Luoyang and protecting the safety of the prince, I think Wu Shaocheng is ninety percent sure that he will concentrate heavy troops and take the initiative to attack General Wu's department. ”

In the Tangzhou Assassin's Mansion, Li Yu analyzed Lu Zhen, Yan Qin, and Eyue Observation Envoy Xi Shimei and others. Several people nodded frequently. Lu Zhen said worriedly:

"In this case, the prince is in danger."

Li Yu said:

"Therefore, I also asked Lu Xianggong to repair a letter and send it to Luoyang as soon as possible. In addition, Li plans to write a letter to Adie Guangyan, asking him and us to strengthen the offensive against Huaixi at the same time, only in this way can the Huaixi army be contained. I don't know if Lu Xianggong and the adults think it's okay. ”

Lu Zhen and Xi Shimei exchanged glances, and only he had the highest status here, so Lu Zhen bowed his head and said:

"General Lee. The prime minister has a word first, but all military affairs are decided by General Li, and the prime minister will never interfere. As long as the country gets rid of this traitor, the true appearance will never be restrained. If you need to pay money, reward money, grain, grass utensils, people's husbands, and make meritorious contributions, just come to find your true appearance. But if there is a general who is afraid of the enemy, secretly communicates with the Huaixi thief, and even raises his own respect, he will not be spared! ”

Li Yu was waiting for this sentence, so he got up and saluted Lu Zhen and said:

"Xiaguan is saved, if someone really dares to do this, Hugh said that he is a prince, and he will also be headed!"

Immediately turned to Yan Qin and said:

"The soldiers and horses of Shannan Eyue have been suppressed by Huaixi for a long time, and at this time the confidence has not been restored, so now it is necessary to favor General Yan."

Yan Qin Dao:

"What did the chief manager say, this is exactly what Yan is doing."

Li Yu immediately ordered the drumming to gather the generals and assign tasks. On the one hand, Li Yu ordered all troops to pay close attention to the drill and preparation, and on the other hand, sent spies into Huaixi to reconnoitre, and at the same time, in order to prevent Huaixi spies or sneak attacks, he ordered all units to strengthen patrols.

"General Ma, do you think we can beat the Huaixi thieves?"

"How can you not beat it? Huaixi thieves are people, aren't our Shannan soldiers people? ”

Ma Shaoliang, the tenth general of the landscape, glared at his soldiers dissatisfied. Today, it was Ma Shaoliang's turn to go to work, so he took a dozen brothers out of the city to patrol. Ma Shaoliang belonged to the type with strong self-esteem, and was very dissatisfied with the bird-like appearance of his soldiers before fighting, adding:

"This time, the emperor sent more than 100,000 troops to attack the Huaixi thieves from all sides. General Adie Guangyan in the west, Wu Chongyin and Gao Xiayu in the north, are all fierce generals. I see that Huaixi is an autumn grasshopper this time, and it won't be able to jump for a few days. If Huaixi is really destroyed, not only us, but even the people of An Huang and Chen Xu can live in peace and live a good life. In the past twenty or thirty years, when did we not prevent Huaixi thieves from robbing? When the time comes, you will stop being soldiers, go home and marry a daughter-in-law and give birth to a few big fat sons, how beautiful those days should be. ”

More than a dozen soldiers were intoxicated for a long time when they heard this, and one of them said:

"If we can really destroy Huaixi, that's good. Our family is miles away from Huaixi, and we are robbed by Huaixi thieves every year, and I don't know how many cattle and sheep and how many women are damaged. In the seventeenth year of Zhenyuan, the official army crusaded against Huaixi, when we were still young, we felt that we would definitely be able to destroy Huaixi, and there would be no more thieves coming to the house to rob things, and we were happy for a while. ”

As soon as he mentioned the past of Zhenyuan's seventeenth year, Ma Shaoliang felt unlucky, and said:

"What do you do with those things? Han Quanyi's straw bag traitor died four years ago. Now it is the prince who is the marshal and supervises the soldiers and horses, and he is still afraid that he will make waves in Huaixi? ”

The soldier muttered:

"There are fierce generals in the north, east, and west, but I don't know what kind of person our chief is. The little one heard that the manager said that he was here for promotion and did not plan to fight. ”

Ma Shaoliang knocked the soldier with a horsewhip with dissatisfaction and said:

"Our Chief Manager Li is the son of Prince Li Sheng, the envoy of Fengxiang Festival, the emperor's favorite minister, at first glance, he is a person with a background in military science. A few of you, don't be wordy, cheer up, watch carefully, don't let the Huaixi spies slip in! ”

As he was talking, he suddenly caught a glimpse of a figure in the woods in front of him, and his heart became suspicious, and he hurriedly ordered:

"Quick, there's someone in the woods, outflank him and catch him!"

A dozen people immediately rushed forward, and a few people came and went around the woods. Sure enough, a figure flashed out of the woods, and ran to the east, but where could a man run past the horse, and in a short time he was chased and surrounded by a dozen people, but he was a burly man. Ma Shaoliang pointed at this person and scolded:

"What a thief dares to sneak into my Shannan to spy on the military. Say, what is the surname called! Where did you come from and where are you going? ”

The man spoke:

"The little Shi Liang is a native of Anzhou, and he sells cloth for a living. The day before yesterday, the cloth was transported to Tangzhou to sell, and I didn't want to meet Huaixi thieves on the road, so I grabbed a small cloth. The small one lost the cloth, and the road was full of Huaixi thieves, and he couldn't go back to his hometown, so he had to go to Tangzhou to find a friend. was resting in this wood, but unexpectedly disturbed the military masters. ”

The accent is really Anzhou accent. Ma Shaoliang asked again:

"Where did you throw the cloth? Do you know which thief's general? ”

Na Shi Liang Dao:

"The small one is a cloth lost in Wencheng, and it's too late to see the thieves fleeing for their lives, where do you dare to find out who the soldiers and horses are?"

Ma Shaoliang asked a few more questions, and this person answered them one by one, without any flaws, Ma Shaoliang pondered for a moment, waved his hand, and said:

"Let's go. Now the imperial court is raising troops to fight against thieves, and the soldiers are in chaos, so they have to go around. ”

Shi Liang saw that the officers and soldiers let him go, and thanked him without a word. Just after walking a few steps, Ma Shaoliang suddenly felt that something was wrong, and blurted out:

"Ding Shiliang!"

Ding Shiliang was a famous general under Wu Shaocheng, who had repeatedly plundered Shannan and Eyue. Hearing Ma Shaoliang shouting like this, the soldiers were stunned, and Shi Liang's body was also stunned, but he immediately accelerated and ran, and his skills were really vigorous. Ma Shaoliang was ecstatic, and hurriedly shouted and rode his horse to catch up. A dozen people immediately surrounded him again. This person also knew it, he knocked over a soldier and grabbed the blade, but he was picked up by Ma Shaoliang. Ma Shaoliang jumped off the horse and mingled with this man. In the end, two fists are hard to beat four hands, and after a while, this person has been restrained, and Ma Shaoliang has two teeth missing from his mouth. Standing on the mound of dirt and spitting out broken teeth, and taking over the things that the soldiers searched, Ma Shaoliang couldn't help laughing:

"Ding Shiliang, it's really you! It's really 'stepping on iron shoes and finding nowhere to go, and it takes no effort to get them', and it's not in vain that I lost these two teeth! ”

But Ding Shiliang held his head high, didn't talk, didn't look at Ma Shaoliang, Ma Shaoliang didn't care about him, tied his hands tightly behind the horse, and took him back to Tangzhou to ask for credit.

After a short time, I arrived at the camp outside the city of Tangzhou. Since the decision to send troops, Li Yu has moved to the big camp. The soldiers on the watchtower saw Ma Shaoliang bringing people back from a distance, and there was still a person tied behind the horse, and they had already notified the camp gate. After the camp gate was surveyed, Ma Shaoliang was let in--After Li Yu arrived at the front line in Tangzhou, he was very easy-going, but the rules were very strict. A team of soldiers and horses staggered in the camp, but there was silence, Ding Shiliang looked up and couldn't help but be a little surprised. Li Yu, Yan Qin and Wang Yi and others were discussing in the tent, and the ten generals of the mountains and rivers, Dong Shaojun, Fu Ya, Tian Zhirong, Yan Shirong and others were waiting outside the tent, and saw Ma Shaoliang's cheeks deflated, and there were blood stains on the corners of his mouth, but his face was triumphant, and the soldiers helped one person to follow him, and they were all surprised:

"Ma Shaoliang, have you picked up the baby?"

Ma Shaoliang said proudly:

"Our old horse is unlucky, he didn't pick up the treasure, but he picked up a scourge. Oh, this guy, do you see? Ding Shiliang! ”

As soon as they heard that it was Ding Shiliang, several people surrounded him, and shouted, Yo, I saw that it was alive, and it wasn't three heads and six arms. Ding Shiliang was not afraid at all, and looked at several people. Tian Zhirong kicked over and said:

"Straight lady thief, you are still so arrogant when you are caught, and you will die to see what you do! Let's go see Li Shuai! ”

After a few people reported it, Li Yu sent a few people into the account. As soon as they entered the big tent, several people knelt down and said:

"Dashuai, Ma Shaoliang patrolled and captured Ding Shiliang, the general of Huaixi. Ding thieves have repeatedly violated my Shannan for several years, plundered property, and killed my robe, please allow us to kill my Shannan robe! ”

To dig out Ding Shi's conscience is to rip out Ding Shi's conscience. Li Yu thought for a while and said:

"In that case, after the interrogation of Ben Shuai, I will hand him over to you and wait for him to be released."

After thanking Li Yu, several people got up and stood on both sides. Li Yu ordered Ding Shiliang to be taken to the side tent, and only after the knife and axe hand entered the account did he order Ding Shiliang to be brought up. After Ding Shiliang was brought into the big tent, he still had his strengths, and he did not change color in the face of the cold knife light. It made Li Yugao look at him. Everyone shouted and ordered Ding Shiliang to kneel, but Ding Shiliang didn't seem to hear it, Ma Shaoliang stood behind and kicked Ding Shiliang's knee, Ding Shiliang stumbled, but stood firmly. This made Li Yu's evaluation of him a higher level.

However, evaluation is evaluation, and it is still necessary to ask questions. Li Yu asked sharply:

"Ding Shiliang, you rebelled and rebelled, and were captured by the king, but you didn't kneel when you saw this handsome, can you be guilty?"

Ding Shiliang replied coldly:

"I, Ding Shiliang, have never seen a Wang Shi who is afraid of the enemy like a tiger and does not dare to go out of the army, but will only be majestic on the captive."

The generals of Shannan were all angry. Next, Li Yu said, Ding Shiliang replied "I don't know", so angry that Ma Shaoliang pulled out a knife, put it on Ding Shiliang's neck, and asked for his life to kill Ding Shiliang.

Li Yu got up and walked down and took the knife from Ma Shaoliang's hand. The crowd thought he was going to say that Nadinshiliang was going to sacrifice the flag, but he said:

"What a good man!"

With a twist of the blade, all the ropes on Ding Shiliang's body had been cut.
