Chapter 297: Catching a turtle in an urn
In the early morning of the next day, when the heavy rain first stopped, after the morning food was over, Lu Zheng ordered the camp to march.
When Yang Ye heard Lu Zheng's order, his heart was a little calm.
According to their marching speed, they should be able to reach the agreed place at the appointed time.
As long as you get to the agreed place... Lu Zheng was injured in an ambush, and he must have no time to manage things in the army.
What's more, everything has been arranged over there, it is under the banner of the Huns, and it is also the Huns, the two armies are fighting, and the Huns are ambushing on the road that the army must pass, which is also very reasonable.
That is, this time the Mingzhou garrison is afraid that it will be implicated a lot.
However, it's nothing, who told this guard to refuse to obey the order, something happened, but it was a good pretext to top the pot.
After a heavy rain, the air is mixed with the damp smell of earth, but at this time of year, it is not unbearable.
It is not a crime to march in such weather.
It's just that because of the heavy rain, the roads are muddy, so the speed of walking is naturally not too fast.
But this is also something that can't be helped, and there will be gains and losses.
Lu Zheng rode on the horse, Lu Wen followed him, and the surrounding guards were in a posture of arching guards, so as to respond to emergencies at any time and protect Lu Zheng's safety.
The army walked for a day and a night, and when it was dark on the second day, they finally reached the border of the Mingzhou area.
Further on, there is the Valley of the Sandwich.
Lu Zheng ordered the army to stop marching, and recruited the vanguard troops, ordering them to go to inquire about the news and reconnoiter the surrounding situation.
Jiazi Valley has the advantage of terrain, and whoever walks here will inevitably send someone to investigate on the spot.
What's more, it's almost nightfall now.
It's good that there is no ambush, but if there is, it will definitely be caught off guard.
Although Lu Zheng is not very old, he is a young general with rich combat experience, so naturally he will not make such a low-level mistake.
When Lu Wen gave this order to Lu Zheng, he quickly glanced at Yang Ye.
I saw that this person was full of calmness, and he didn't seem to feel anything about Lu Zheng's order.
It's really ready, so is there anything to fear, Lu Wen thought to himself.
It's a pity that no matter how fearless you are, it's useless.
Yang Ye and the others must not have imagined that they had already received the news here.
So, I've been waiting for the turtle to be caught in the urn.
Lu Wen secretly sneered, it is true to catch a turtle in the urn, but who is this turtle, and you have to look back!
The vanguard troops went to survey the environment according to Lu Zheng's order, and after they came back, they naturally didn't notice anything abnormal, but they investigated the terrain of the Clamp Valley more clearly.
As for ambushes, enemies, and so on, there were none.
"General, since there is nothing wrong here, let's march quickly." A lieutenant said.
Their speed is already a little slow now, if they see a slightly dangerous place and stop and don't leave, when will they get to the northwest?
The situation in the northwest is not so anxious, but it is not so anxious, and it is not at all in a hurry.
If they arrive too late, those people above will use this to impeach the general, and maybe they will also deduct a hat that will delay the military situation.
Lu Zheng glanced at the deputy general who spoke.
This is promoted by his own soldiers, his name is Xiao Yong, he is very loyal, and there is no problem, but people are too loyal, to put it bluntly, their brains will not turn.
If the color has been blackened today, it is not so safe to cross the Clamp Valley like this, and the correct thing to do is to stay and camp and leave early tomorrow morning.
Of course, this is under normal circumstances.
Is it not normal......
Lu Zheng swept Yang Ye again, and saw Yang Ye looking at him with implicit expectation.
Lu Zheng turned his head, raised his hand and said, "March." ”
All the soldiers should be in unison, and the neat and loud voices echoed in the valley, and there was a lot of echo.
At the moment when Lu Zheng ordered the march, Lu Wen suddenly rode his horse to Yang Ye's side, and without saying a word, he stunted Yang Ye with a knife.
Seeing this, Xiao Yong's eyes widened, and he pointed to Lu Wen, and he stammered a little, "Lu... Vice Admiral Lu, you are ......"
Before he finished speaking, he saw that the guards around Lu Zheng quickly changed their formation, and the captain Zhou Ying took a few good hands to spur his horse, and rushed to the front of the team in an instant.
Xiao Yong was stunned again, and at this time he also saw that the problem was coming.
He looked at Lu Zheng with his eyes, wanting to find something from Lu Zheng.
The other generals were also puzzled, but they all seemed to see something wrong and did not speak immediately.
Xiao Yong was about to say something more, but Zhou Ying rode back again.
"General Qiyu, everything is ready." Zhou Ying dismounted and replied.
As soon as he finished speaking, he was followed by two members of the personal guard, and a scarecrow came over.
What does this do? Xiao Yong was puzzled.
However, he soon learned what to do.
I saw that Lu Zheng didn't say a word, got off the horse and took off the heavy armor on his body, handed it to the guards, and asked them to put on the scarecrow.
It's getting dark, not to mention, after this scarecrow puts on Lu Zheng's armor, if you don't look carefully, it really looks like that.
In particular, after this scarecrow was placed on the horse, it was really similar to Lu Zheng himself.
This is, to let the scarecrow pretend to be their general, and cross this clip valley?
Xiao Yong thought stunned.
However, in the past, the general was not such a cautious and timid person, was he?
Also, the general's move was obviously doing something confidential, but he didn't tell him in advance, isn't it, don't trust him?
Thinking of this possibility, Xiao Yong suddenly felt uneasy and a little aggrieved.
The half-grown young man looked at Lu Zheng with a puzzled gaze that could be called complaint, expecting to see something from Lu Zheng's face.
It's a pity that Lu Zheng still has the same cold face, and he has no expression.
After the scarecrow finished dressing up, Lu Zheng said to Zhou Ying: "Go ahead, do as planned." ”
"Yes, General." Zhou Ying bowed his head and led people to the front again.
After Zhou Ying and the others left, Lu Zheng said to the generals around him: "You generals don't need to panic, Ben Shuai got the news, saying that there are people in the area of Jiazi Valley in front of him, and there are people who have set up ambushes, so he wants to plan and get rid of all the enemies. ”
As he spoke, Lu Zheng hugged his fists at the generals.
His tone is very sincere, and when he speaks like this, it is easy to gain the favor of his subordinates and feel that they are respected.
Therefore, although everyone had some small emotions about Lu Zheng's move, they also calmed down in Lu Zheng's words.
The coach explained to them so politely, which one can still not know what to do?
However, despite understanding, there are still people who have grievances in their hearts.
This person is naturally Xiao Yong.
He is different from other generals, he was promoted by Lu Zheng's personal guard, so he always feels that his relationship with other generals and Lu Zheng is different.
