181, three hundred (medium)
The news of the pursuit of the Tangut people soon spread in the ranks, and the pursuit of more than 2,000 people became 20,000 after word of mouth. The people www.biquge.info of the pen and the fun and pavilion began to panic, and some people came to visit Wu Zheng that night, hoping to get some promises and assurances from him, after all, he was the one with the most power now.
"I heard that there are 20,000 Western Xia chasing soldiers behind us, I don't know what Lord Wu plans to do? Whether we are fighting or surrendering, we must prepare early! ”
"What are you fighting! With 20,000 chasing soldiers, how can we win with only 300 people left by Master Gao? If you want to talk about it below, just drop it, Dahua is not far from destroying the country, why don't we all be the people of the virtuous King of Western Xia! ”
"Zhou Qingliang, what nonsense are you talking about! We are born as Dahua people, and we are Dahua ghosts when we die! I'd rather die than die as a slave! You have to learn from that Liu Datou to make a dog for the Xixia people, and I, Zhao Yiping, will kill you first! ”
"If the tall army's army can come back in time, we may still have a fight......"
"Lord Gao has been gone for seven or eight days, and there has been no news back so far, with all due respect, Lord Gao is probably more than lucky, alas!"
"The Tangut people are indeed strong, but they are just a group of robbers, if we all hand over all the gold and silver treasures on our bodies, the old man is willing to negotiate with the Tangut people on behalf of the adults!"
The old man named Shen Ruan stared at Wu Zheng, who was sitting opposite without saying a word, with an expression of willingness to go to the soup for the people.
Wu Zheng stood up and patted Shen Ruan's shoulder gently: "Don't be excited, old gentleman, if you really want to negotiate with the Xixia people, Wu should go." Shen Ruan nodded and asked, "So what exactly does the adult plan?" Let's talk to the big guys, so that everyone can have a bottom in their hearts, if it continues like this, I'm afraid it will cause panic. ”
Wu Zheng shrugged his shoulders and said, "If you want to talk about panic, it has caused panic now, otherwise everyone wouldn't have come here to look for me." The people in the room looked at each other, their hearts were indeed frightened, and the boy in front of them, who was younger than the youngest of them, was their last hope.
"Well, since everyone is very concerned about the current situation, let me say a few words. But before that, I want to correct that the pursuers of the Western Xia people did not have 20,000 people, only 2,000 people, and most of them were Liu Shuo's Dahua army. "Although I knew that the number of enemies was not so terrifying, no one felt relaxed in their hearts, and three hundred against two thousand was actually no different from twenty thousand, and the result was the same.
Wu Zheng spread out the map, pointed to a point on the map, and said: "This is where we are now, and there are still three days away from the Tibetan Army Tower. His finger moved to another point, "According to my speculation, the pursuers of the Tangut should be here by now, and they are also three days away from us. If we all speed up our actions, I believe we can reach our destination before the Tanguts catch up with us. ”
A group of people looked around the map for a long time, Shen Ruan raised his head and looked at Wu Zheng and asked, "Even if we arrive at the Tibetan Army Tower first, what will happen to the Western Xia pursuers behind?" Will they retreat? Wu Zheng raised his eyebrows and asked, "Retreat?" Why let them go back? ”
The man named Zhou Qingliang snorted: "Can we still destroy them?" What a joke! Seeing Wu Zheng casting a cold gaze at him, he dodged Wu Zheng's gaze and whispered, "Did I say something wrong?" Three hundred people want to eat two thousand people...... Dream ......"
Zhou Qingliang was originally a down-and-out talent, but because he repeatedly failed exams, and witnessed a rich and powerful classmate bribing the examiner and became famous, he became cynical and preached the injustice of the world everywhere, and the people's hearts were not ancient. During the war, he did not forget to promote his views everywhere on the way to flee with the people, but also attracted a large number of like-minded people, these people were poor people living at the bottom, and his views just catered to the ideas of these people. So this time everyone went to Wu Zheng to discuss matters, and he was also recommended on behalf of this group of people.
The guard named Tie Zhu, who was standing next to Wu Zheng, couldn't see it, rushed to Zhou Qingliang in a few steps, pulled his collar and dragged him out of the tent, and Zhou Qingliang shouted: "What is the ability to bully us defenseless people, go and fight the Xixia people!" Defeat them! ”
"Let him go." Wu Zheng walked up to Zhou Qingliang, looked up and down and asked, "Your name is Zhou Qingliang?" Okay, I remember you. Today I would like to ask everyone present to be a witness for me, and I want to make a bet with this Brother Zhou! Brother Zhou, do you dare to gamble with me? Zhou Qingliang broke free from the iron pillar's hand, his neck stiffened, and said, "Why don't you dare, what to bet on!" Wu Zheng smiled and said, "Bet on the Xixia people to lose!" ”
Leaving Wu Zheng's camp, Zhou Qingliang said loudly in the crowd: "Isn't it that the loser will be beaten with a hundred military sticks!" I just don't believe that he can defeat 2,000 Xixia people with 300 men! He wants to die if he wants, why should he take us with him! Then under the push and shove of others, Zhou Qingliang's voice gradually faded away.
Wu Zheng, who had sent everyone away, stood in the center of the tent and looked at a handsome flag hanging on the wall, with a big "high" character embroidered on it, he clenched his fists, and there was a sad look in his eyes.
"Brother Gao, I want these two thousand people to be martyred for you!"
Tie Zhu walked in from outside the tent and said angrily: "My lord, let me go and break the leg of that surnamed Zhou!" This turtle son! Wu Zheng waved his hand and said, "He is right, what we have to deal with is not the people, but the Western Xia people." He paused, beckoned Tiezhu to come to the map, pointed to a place and said: "I'm not very familiar with the terrain here, judging from the map, this should be a canyon area, I need someone to help me check the specific situation of this canyon, can you go?" ”
Tie Zhu patted his chest and said, "No problem! Wu Zheng nodded: "Very good, look at how Han Zongwang's injury is recovering, you go with him, be sure to come back within two days!" ”
Tiezhu bowed and replied, "Obey!" ”
A day later.
Aro kicked open a clay pot, and in front of him was a large abandoned camp, where several soldiers were rummaging for something, where the small group of Dahua deserters and tens of thousands of refugees once stayed.
With a wave of his hand, Liu Shuo trotted all the way to his side, and said with a low smile: "General." A Luo Yue pointed in a direction with his horsewhip and said, "You said that they are going to a place called the Tibetan Military Tower, how far is that place from here?" Liu Shuo thought for a moment and replied: "There should be three days to go, if we don't stop for a moment, we can catch up with them in two days!" ”
Ah Luo Yue looked around and said, "There are a lot of things that have been discarded here, I guess they should already know that we are chasing them, time is not waiting, we must completely destroy them before they reach the Tibetan Army Tower!" Order, the whole army does not rest, and set off immediately! ”
Liu Shuo bowed and said, "Yes!" ”
A Luo Yue looked at the vast Gobi and said coldly: "Tibetan Military Tower, hum, that is where you are buried!" ”
