Chapter 127: Medium Scheme
The sudden gale, an inexplicable fire, so that Shao Xianzhi's team was delayed throughout the trip, the morale of the soldiers was also a little low, it is not a good sign to go out of the division, there is no way to disobey the king's order, after cleaning up and rectifying, he continued to walk in the direction of Fenggang, although the arsonist did not investigate any connection with the Anwang Mansion in the last two days, and the people only said that thieves were rampant, but Shao Xianzhi was not stupid, if the thieves stole it for grain and grass, there was really no need to burn it, anyway, Shao Xianzhidu faintly felt that this matter was the hand of King An's mansion, there was no evidence, and now was not the time to investigate, so he had to calm the mood of the soldiers first, continue to move forward, and rush back the trip that had been delayed a few days ago. The next destination is Fenggang, this Fenggang is easy to defend and difficult to attack, so I don't want to stay here longer, as long as I can open the door to the Yangtze River and go to meet with Da Chu's team, then my work will be completed, thinking of this, Shao Xianzhi sighed slightly, and looked at the topographic map at hand, there is always a not very good feeling.
Near Fenggang, stationed in a large camp, Shao Xianzhi summoned his guards and said: "Find a small team of people and horses, go out to Fenggang to inquire around, and see if there is any news of King An."
It's already autumn, the weather is a little cold, it's dark early, the whole army is already setting after settling down, looking at the sunset in the distance, the whole camp has a sad atmosphere. I was thinking that someone would come and bring dinner, a very ordinary meal, a meat and a vegetarian with a little pickles and a bowl of soup, but for this team that had just burned most of the grain and grass, it was already a good meal.
"Let's take it down," Shao Xianzhi said to the person holding the food: "Take this food to the soldiers who were injured in the fire that day."
The man said yes and turned around to leave, Shao Xianzhi stopped the man again and said: "In the future, don't make my food alone, just give me whatever the soldiers eat", the man was stunned for a moment, nodded casually, and went out with the food.
It may be that he is tired from the journey, or it may be that he has changed places, of course, it may also be because of Shao Xianzhi's new military order to eat and sleep with the soldiers today, which makes the whole camp seem to be alive again, and occasionally I hear the voices of the soldiers whispering and laughing, which makes Shao Xianzhi's heart finally feel a little calmer.
Not far from Fenggang, the guards who went out to inquire about intelligence soon came back, and said to Shao Xianzhi with some joy: "General, I waited around Fenggang to investigate for an afternoon, and there are indeed people from King An's Mansion, but it should not be a fighting army, it should be a local garrison to maintain law and order, and the people are also in the city, and there is no sign of a large army."
"The people are there, too?" Shao Xianzhi repeated the guard's words, pondered for a while, and finally showed a slightly relaxed expression on his face, and said to the guard: "According to Chu Beige's character, if the army comes, according to Fenggang's situation, the people will definitely be evacuated safely, but according to your statement, Chu Beige's team has not yet arrived?" ”
The guard thought for a moment, nodded cautiously and said, "It seems to be right."
"Okay" Shao Xianzhi said two good things in a row, and then said a little excitedly: "Pass the order, attack the city at noon tomorrow."
The iron hooves are Xiaoxiao autumn wind, the sword dance and the sword, the sudden attack of the Great Chu army, the Anwangfu is a little "caught off guard", Shao Xianzhi rode a war horse, watching the battle situation in front from a distance, the soldiers of Dachu are braver than they imagined, and they are not hurried in advancing and retreating, but they are the people of Anwangfu, which really surprised Shao Xianzhi, not to mention that he is not prepared at all, everyone has no sense of fighting, and the appearance of hiding and hiding really makes people think of the result of this war at once.
As expected, in less than half a day, the rest of the people and horses of King An's Mansion all fled, and the army of Da Chu occupied the entire city with almost no effort, probably the people were scared enough, the doors of every house were closed, and there was no one on the streets.
Entering the city, the soldiers are all jubilant, the previous low is swept away, maybe there is really nothing happier for the soldiers than winning the battle, Shao Xianzhi is also very excited, standing on the city tower, and said to the soldiers under his command: "Find a way to get some food to reward everyone, but there is one, you are not allowed to loot the people's fat and cream, I see that there is a big river in the west of the city, you go to think of a way, the people of Anwangfu should not come back for a while, and the soldiers who patrol normally are still the same patrol, And tomorrow we have to calm the emotions of the people, and then pack up and continue to set off, after this pass, the road ahead will be easy to walk." On the one hand, Shao Xian arranged things for everyone here, and on the other hand, he began to calculate when he would be able to join the army of Da Chu.
Dinner was good, not to mention the vegetables, but also drank fish soup, plus everyone was in a good mood, so the food was extraordinarily fragrant.
Except for the soldiers who patrolled the night, everyone slept, and Shao Xianzhi did not go to the original official office in the city, but stayed in the big tent, looking at the map at hand to write and draw, with a rather relieved expression on his face. After finally writing the last secret letter, he breathed a long sigh of relief, and said to himself: "Let them send the letter out tomorrow, everyone has worked hard", after saying that, he put the letter on the table, stood up and worked hard, sat for too long, his legs were a little numb, and he knelt on the ground without standing firmly, laughing at his old age, laughing dryly, holding his hand on the ground and preparing to stand up, but as soon as his hand touched the ground, he felt that something was wrong, and he approached his ears close to the ground, and his face suddenly became pale, Hurriedly got up from the ground, exclaimed: "Come on, come on", and limped out of the big tent.
The guard at the door also heard the shouting, and was about to enter the house when he saw Shao Xianzhi walking out, and said with a panicked expression: "Hurry up, quickly tell everyone to get up, someone is coming." It may have been too panicked to frighten the guards at the door, and they didn't dare to ask more, so they hurriedly went down to convey the instructions.
Just after the hour, Fenggang City was brightly lit, and the army of Great Chu all looked serious, Shao Xianzhi stood on the city tower, looking at the people below, Chu Beige, who was dressed lightly, was sitting on a horse, and was also looking at Shao Xianzhi, a long sword in his hand glowed with cold light, which made people feel a little cold, but looking back at Chu Beige's face was with a warm smile, if it wasn't for the current one, Shao Xianzhi really felt that this smile made people feel like a spring breeze.
