Thinking of the past, Zheng Rong's brows couldn't help but wrinkle more and more, he took a sip of tea, moistened his throat, and continued: "Even so, the defeat of the defenders of Shanshan Road is too ugly, and if you don't deal with the people concerned, you can't calm the hearts of the officials and calm the anger of the people." Helplessly, most of the senior officers of the Shanxi Road Jiedu Army have been killed, and Li Jun also committed suicide in fear of crime, and it seems that only Dai Luanxiang can carry this black cauldron. ”

Zheng Rong paused and continued: "At that time, the Ministry of Officials and the Ministry of War discussed that they wanted to show the public. But when he saw that all the generals in this mountain and Shaanxi Road were said to be killed, only this Dai Luanxiang was so great that he presented himself to the first emperor and saved him. Later, when Lone was ordered to recover Shanxi, he took Dai Luanxiang with him to make meritorious contributions, and this is where today's Marshal Dai is born. ”

Zhong Likuang and Qiu Yizhi were embarrassed when they heard Zheng Rong's story.

After a long time, Zhongli Kuang Cai said: "Then the prince has the grace of reinvention for this Dai Luanxiang, right?" ”

Zheng Rong nodded and said: "That's right, but now it's a sword and a soldier, what's the use of saying this?" ”

Zhong Likuang shook the folding fan with a smile and said, "Since the prince has such a fate with Dai Luanxiang, hasn't he thought of taking him under his command?" ”

Zheng Rong thought about it, but waved his hand again and said, "Dai Luanxiang, don't I know yet?" He has always been loyal to the court, and even if you kill him to the point that there is only one soldier left, you may not be willing to surrender to me. ”

"Lord Wang, this is wrong." Zhong Li Kuang said, "That was when this Dai Luanxiang was not really cornered. At that time, he will naturally surrender to the prince. ”

Zheng Rong listened, but also retorted: "Sir's words are wrong. Let's take Lone as an example, when he was in the prison of the Criminal Department, he was tortured and had no relatives, and he didn't have the slightest idea of bending his knees to beg for mercy. Gu Su knows that Dai Luanxiang is noble, not inferior to Lonely, and I am afraid that he will not be easy to comply. ”

Zhongli Kuang has never forgiven people on his tongue, and when he heard Zheng Rong say this, he said: "Although Dai Luanxiang can also be called a famous general at home, how can he compare to the prince when it comes to being tough?" What's more, the prince was just careless for a while and was in prison, but there were still me behind him who were trying my best to save the prince from the king, but in fact, it couldn't be called cornered. ”

Qiu Yizhi saw that the two were about to quarrel, and hurriedly interjected: "Yizhi listened to the discussion of his father-in-law and master, it was really like an initiation, so he came up with a plan, or it could be used. Can the father-in-law and the master give some advice? ”

When he saw Zheng Rong and Zhongli Kuang nodding in unison, he calmly explained the plan in his heart.

Zheng Rong knew that he had always been resourceful, and he was able to escape back to Youyan a few days ago by relying on his series of tricks, so he listened very carefully and didn't even interject a word. After Qiu Yizhi finished speaking, he said: "Although Yizhi's plan is ingenious, the effect is inevitably slowed down, I am afraid that our army will not be able to hold out for so long." ”

Qiu Yizhi pondered for a long time and replied, "What my father-in-law said is not bad at all. However, with this plan, there are not many troops and resources to be mobilized, and even if it cannot be successful, it will be beneficial and disadvantageous to me on the frontal battlefield, and I hope that my father-in-law can give it to me. ”

Zheng Rong was noncommittal, and turned his head to look at Zhong Likuang.

But I heard Zhong Likuang say slowly: "This plan of the instrument is exactly what the students want. It is understandable that the prince thinks this plan is slow, and the students also have other measures to implement. Saying this, Zhong Likuang put away the folding fan very proudly, got up and paced in the big tent of the Chinese army, while explaining his own strategy and discernment.

Zheng Rong was overjoyed when he heard this, and said, "Okay, Mr. Zhongli is really talented, and this scheming can be said to be the same way. To be alone, Mr. Zhongli's plan can be called Wen Tao, Yi Zhi's strategy can be called a military strategy, with this Wen Tao Wu strategy, why worry about uncertain things? Let's do our best, if this plan fails, it's not too late for me to think about it in the long run. ”

That night, after a full meal, Qiu Yizhi slept peacefully, and slept until the next day, when he got up calmly. After he had another beautiful lunch, he called Captain Chi Lianghong, Zhao Chengxiao, and the eighteen remaining surrendered bandits after leaving Beijing as his cronies, took all the gold and silver fine, changed into Youyan clothes, and galloped out all the way south from the side gate of the camp by the Hutuo River.

Since Dai Luanxiang returned to the official army Dengzhou camp, he began to reorganize the army. Therefore, although the officers and troops experienced a bitter battle yesterday, the battlefield control was still very tight, and when they saw that an elite team in the Youyan army came out of the camp, they also sent elite cavalry to chase after them.

However, Qiu Yizhi's subordinates were only about 20 people who were skilled in archers and horses, and they were all replaced by Gobi horses from the Bohai Sea, even in terms of marching speed, they were far from being comparable to these war horses cultivated in the Central Plains.

Therefore, Qiu Yizhi rode his sweaty and bloody horse, led the elite under his command, found a gap in the position of the official army before it had time to close, and quickly broke through the defense line of the official army and went deep into the hinterland of Henan Province.

Although the officers and soldiers who were pursuing behind them tried their best to pursue, they were chasing farther and farther, and they could only look at the dust raised behind the horses of the Youyan cavalry.

Due to the lack of right-hand men in the official army, Dai Luanxiang had to govern the army in every detail, but when he heard such a report, he did not take it lightly, pulled a piece of paper at hand, wrote down the original situation, and asked the defenders in Henan to strictly defend, not to let the enemy take advantage of the situation.

Dai Luanxiang has both documents, boasting of being a Confucian general, and the text will be drafted without adding points, and after a cursory look, he saw that there was no mistake, so he handed it to the book office around him and asked him to use the seal, and then used the former general's order to spread it to all parts of Henan.

At the same time, Qiu Yizhi, who broke through the first obstacle, relied on people and horses, and in just one day, he had already crossed Dengzhou south and entered the boundary of Zhengzhou, Henan.

Zhengzhou was only two or three hundred miles away from the front line of Dengzhou, as if it had nothing to do with the confrontation in front of him, and the air seemed very calm and serene.

Qiu Yizhi participated in the pacification of the Tianzun Sect Rebellion a few months ago, and he was very familiar with the terrain of the eastern region of Henan. But at that time, the Tianzun Sect on the ground in Zhengzhou was led by the eldest brother Zheng Xin and the second brother Zheng Sen to clear it, only ten years ago, with the Youyan King disaster relief once, the memory has long been forgotten, so he is not familiar with the customs here, so he has to find a local dealer pawn to ask for the road.

However, at the beginning of the year, the poison of the Tianzun Sect rebellion was still there, and the people on the road saw that Qiu Yizhi's people and horses were like ringing horses and robbing houses from the mountains, so they avoided the road one after another, and no one rushed forward to talk.

Qiu Yizhi was helpless, and saw that there was an old farmer on the side of the road who didn't seem to notice that his group of people and horses, and was still working in the field with his back to the loess, so he crossed the horse and whipped up, and dismounted and asked the old farmer: "Uncle, ask about something, okay?" ”

The old farmer didn't react, completely ignored Qiu Yizhi, and still lowered his head in the field and moved step by step to water a few beaten greens. The old farmer worked without distractions and was extremely serious, until he saw a pair of riding boots suddenly appear in the vegetable field, and he was startled and shouted: "You, who are you?!" What do you want to do?! ”

Qiu Yizhi was also taken aback by this loud shout, and hurriedly said: "Uncle, don't shout, I'm here to ask you for directions!" ”

The old peasant pointed to his ear and said loudly, "You are louder, I can't hear you!" ”

Qiu Yizhi knew that this old man was old and couldn't hear his words clearly, so he smiled bitterly, and said goodbye to him, ready to find another fellow countryman to ask for directions.

At this moment, a sturdy man in the distance, holding a flat pole in his hand, shouted: "Where did the ringing horse come from?" Let go of my dad! "Running towards Qiu Yizhi's side.

Seeing that this man had mistaken himself for a bandit, Qiu Yizhi hurriedly defended: "This strong man is a little restless, and he is not a bandit from the mountain, but a ......."

Unexpectedly, the man's legs and feet were very fast, but he didn't listen to persuasion at all, and in a blink of an eye, he had already rushed to Qiu Yizhi, and before he could finish speaking, he raised his flat pole and smashed it towards Qiu Yizhi's head.

Wei Chi Lianghong, who was riding a horse to protect him, saw that the man was just an ordinary farmer, so he unhurriedly took out a copper coin from his coat pocket, and with a flick of his hand, he hit the flat pole in the man's hand. That flat pole was just a crude tool used to carry water and fertilizer, which could withstand the blow of Yu Chi Lianghong, and it was broken into two in an instant.

The man was also beaten by Yu Chi Lianghong's trick and his hands were numb, and he couldn't use his strength, and only the remaining half of the flat shoulder also flew out of the tiger's mouth, but he stumbled under his feet and fell to the ground.

Seeing this, Qiu Yizhi smiled, personally helped the man up, and said, "You crop man is really an anxious man. I didn't finish my sentence, why did you call? ”

The man was picked up by Qiu Yizhi, patted the dirt stuck to his trouser legs, and said, "I thought you were bandits from some mountain who came down to rob my father!" ”

Qiu Yizhi covered his mouth and smiled: "Then you look at my appearance, do you look like a bandit?" ”

The man looked at Qiu Yizhi for a moment and said, "You look like a showman, not like a bandit." As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and pointed at the people on the horses behind Qiu Yizhi and said, "They all have the faces of bandits. ”

Qiu Yizhi looked in the direction of his finger and saw that the twenty people he brought, except for Yu Chi Lianghong's face Siwen and Zhao Chengxiao, who were also honest and honest, the remaining eighteen people were really all fierce and vicious, no wonder this farmer admitted his mistake.

So Qiu Yizhi couldn't help laughing out loud and said, "This strong man is not bad. My brothers are all falling on Yunmeng Mountain this year......"

"You see I'm right!" The man chimed in.

Qiu Yixin thought about why this person was so anxious, so he said, "Don't be busy interjecting, listen to me first." It turned out that they were bandits on Yunmeng Mountain, but they helped the prince of Youyan to pacify the cult, and the prince saw that although they were some reckless heroes, they didn't do anything harmful, so they all took them under his hands. ”

The man finally listened patiently to Qiu Yizhi's words, and then suddenly realized: "Oh! I said so. If you want to say that the prince of Youyan is really a large number of adults, if you put it here with me, look at their appearance, I will first push out the noon gate and behead it. He took a breath and said, "That son must be the military master under the prince, and the little one is disrespectful." "After that, as soon as your knees are weak, you have to kneel down.

Qiu Yizhi hurriedly stretched out his hand to hold the man and said to him: "You man, you are also sincere. Whatever I say, you can believe. What if I lied to you? ”

The man waved his hand nonchalantly and said, "What's the matter with lying to me?" Who doesn't know my Wang Lao Wu, who in these ten miles and eight towns? It's the poorest, you just want to rob and cheat, and I don't have anything for you! And my legs and feet are fast, if you want to kill me, I will run away, and you will not be able to catch up with me! ”

This man is of medium stature, his eyes are bright, his face has a stubble beard, although his complexion is whiter than Zhao Chengxiao, but he is also tanned by the sun, and his whole body reveals the simplicity of a farmer.

When Qiu Yizhi saw him like this, he was happy in his heart, and said, "Your name is Wang Lao Wu, right?" I think you're more anxious than your steps. I ask you, you ran away, what happened to your old father? Could it be that he is like you, running away as soon as he smokes? ”
