Pang Li bandits attacked the official army at night and won a complete victory.

The night attack killed more than 1,000 officers and soldiers, captured more than 3,000 people, and wounded countless people.

About 4,000 officers and soldiers fled back to the city of Huajun, and more than 1,000 people simply fled into the mountains or left in other directions, not wanting to return to Huajun to serve as soldiers.

After all, the morale of this Huajun army was low, and it fell to the bottom after the defeat.

"It's really happy!" Pang Li Mountain Cottage, Qu Qin Da Lalama who returned from victory sat in the middle, with a smile on his face, "Thanks to Mr. You's clever plan, I can win a big victory!"

"In this battle, our side lost 341 people, nearly half of whom fell off the cliff, but fortunately it was at an acceptable level. In exchange for more than 3,000 prisoners, countless military rations and equipment, the military strength has increased several times. The only pity is that Liang Chun ran away!" Zhang Chang had a regretful expression on his face.

"Yes!" Qu Tan's smile retracted, "This old guy actually left a hand and ambushed the soldiers in advance." Could it be that he had already expected this defeat?"

"Impossible!" the literati pondered for a moment, shook his head and replied, "If we can expect this defeat, Liang Chun has already taken precautions, how can we make our army win a complete victory?"

"What does Mr. Nayou mean......" Qu Qin turned his head to look at him.

"It should be a visionary person under Liang Chun, and he expected that this battle would be lost, so he sent someone to respond. ”

"Since there is such a character, can Liang Chun still be defeated?"

"Liang Chun is too proud of himself and doesn't accept people's words. The literati smiled, "Presumably, that person is also soft-spoken, and he is not liked by Liang Chun." ”

"It's also his luck! If it weren't for the ambush soldiers, he would have died at my hands!" Qu Qin said in a muffled voice.

The literati glanced at him and felt a little regretful: "Actually, the two generals had a great opportunity yesterday, but it's a pity!"

"If it weren't for the other party's ambush ......," Zhang Chang sighed.

"The two generals really think that it is an ambush? Under the heavy rain and in the dark, how do you know how to meet the soldiers and horses?" the literati shook his head.

"What do you mean, Mr. You?" Qu Qin and Zhang Chang glanced at each other, and at the same time showed a puzzled look.

Liang Chun led the army out of the city, but left the cavalry captain Liu Bao, just because Liu Bao had two hearts. There were soldiers and horses left in the city to restrain Liu Bao, and not a single soldier dared to bring more, so how could he set up an ambush in advance to meet us? On the one hand, he had to deal with us, and on the other hand, he had to guard against Liu Bao's stabbing in the back......

"But last night there was indeed an ambush!" Qu Tan frowned.

"In the darkness of the night, when the rain covered their eyes and the sound of thunder resounded throughout the world, could the two generals personally witness the number of enemy ambushes?

"This ......" Qu Qin Zhang Chang thought at the same time, and then his face changed.

Zhang Chang exclaimed: "In the darkness last night, I could only hear the sound of gongs and drums, and there was a sound of killing. If you think about it, after we turned around, none of us chased after us!"

"Yes! If there are really soldiers and horses ambushing and bridgeheads, how can you let the two of us leave safely?" Qu Qin was very angry after thinking clearly, "Liang Chun tricked me!"

"Liang Chun doesn't have such ability, he should be the one who arranges to respond. Zhang Chang sighed, "It's a pity, I should have fought hard at that time." ”

"What's the use of talking about this now?" Qu Qin looked at the literati, "Mr. You, in your opinion, what should we do next?"

"Did the two generals send someone to change into the armor of the official army last night and flee to Huajun together?"

"Of course, according to Mr. You's plan, we sent a hundred henchmen to join the team, and they must have been on standby in Nahua County. Qu Qin nodded.

"Very good! Liang Chun is old, and he has been drenched in the rain all night after this defeat, and he will recuperate for at least half a month after returning to the city, otherwise his body will not be able to bear it. The literati narrowed his eyes, "After this defeat, the morale of the soldiers and horses of Huajun was lower, and they just took advantage of the situation to attack the city, so that the henchmen should open the city gate and take the city in one fell swoop." Immediately reorganize the troops and horses, and quickly attack Huajun!"

"Mr. You's brilliant plan!" Qu Qin Zhang Chang couldn't wait to stand up, "I'll raise troops immediately, and we won't let Liang Chun breathe." ”

Not to mention that the Pang Lishan bandits were preparing to send troops to attack Huajun, Liang Chun returned to the city safely under the response of his eldest grandson Liang Kai.

As the literati surnamed You said, after returning to the city, he was ill and very weak.

On the one hand, I am old, and my physical strength is not as good as when I was young, and I can't bear to toss enough this night. On the other hand, it rained heavily all night, and no matter how strong a person is, he can't hold on.

Of course, the mental aspect is also crucial. After all, Liang Chun, a conceited and egoistic person, didn't believe that he would lose, but as a result, he was not only said by Ning Ze, but also defeated so badly, his face was ugly. There was a lot of psychological pressure, and the body couldn't hold it, so he naturally collapsed.

Liang Teng hurriedly sent someone to invite Dr. Yan to treat his father.

Dr. Yan prescribed medicine, saying that Taishou was weak and had to recuperate for more than a month, which was exactly what Mr. You judged.

The Liang Mansion was very busy, especially Liang Teng and his five sons, who didn't close their eyes until dawn and stayed by Liang Chun's side.

After dawn, Liu Bao, the commander of the cavalry, came to visit with civil and military officials, and while respecting Taishou to recuperate, he ensured that everything in the city would operate normally.

"Father, you haven't closed your eyes for a day, hurry back and rest. Although he had dark circles under his eyes and was very tired, Liang Kai still said, "The child is here to take care of his grandfather, and you and your younger brothers will go back to the room first." ”

Glancing at the five children who had been here all night, all too tired but holding on, Liang Teng sighed lightly: "Father is not tired, you go back to rest first." ”

"But ......"

"Let's go down!" Liang Teng waved his hand.

Five brothers, you look at me, I look at you, each of them is very tired, and his eyelids are constantly fighting, so he didn't say much, and after bowing to his father one after another, he withdrew from this room.

Liang Teng sat on the edge of the bed, looking at his father Liang Chun, who was sleeping deeply after taking the medicine, looking extremely weak, and said in his heart that this time it was thanks to Brother Ning. If it weren't for his proposal, the consequences would have been unimaginable. Although my father was defeated, at least he survived, and thousands of soldiers fled back to the city.

If my father had been able to heed the advice, perhaps he would not have been defeated today!

Just as he was thinking about it, his wife Cai entered the house and half-squatted and saluted: "Husband!"

"Madam, why are you here?" Liang Teng asked, getting up.

"The husband didn't sleep all night, and the concubine was really worried. Cai said softly, "Doctor Yan said that my father-in-law is fine, and he just needs to recuperate." There are still important matters in the city waiting for the husband to decide, how can he stay here all the time? My father-in-law is sick, but be careful of Liu Bao's house!"

Hearing this, Liang Teng nodded slightly.

Indeed, after his father fell ill, Liu Bao might take the opportunity to seize power and not let him succeed.

Fortunately, most of the civil and military officials in the city are from the Liang family, although his father is ill, he can suppress Liu Bao with his own presence.

He got up and said, "Then trouble Madam!"

Coming out of his father's room, Liang Teng couldn't care that he hadn't slept all night, as if he wanted to go directly to the Taishou Mansion.

It's just that before he left the house, he saw Liang Wu pushing a wheelchair over, and it was Ning Ze on top of the wheelchair: "Where is Lord Superintendent going to?"

"Little brother!" Liang Teng stepped forward and arched his hand, "Fortunately, I have you ...... this time"

"Lord Postmaster has saved my life and deserves to be reciprocated. Ning Ze got up and saluted with Liang Wu's support.

"Now that Fuzun is sick, I have to go to the yamen to take care of it first. Liang Teng said, "After the official business is completed, I will personally thank the little brother." ”

Seeing that Liang Teng was leaving, Ning Ze hurriedly said, "Wait!"

"Is there anything else going on with the little brother?" Liang Teng turned around.

"Lord Postmaster, but is it to prevent that Liu Bao?"

Now that Fuzun is ill, Liu Bao has two hearts, and he may take advantage of the situation to make trouble. Liang Teng replied.

"It's not Liu Bao who should be wary of at this time, there are other people!" Ning Ze said seriously.

"What does that mean?"

"Yesterday, Fuzun was defeated and returned, and thousands of deserters entered the city in chaos," Ning Ze looked straight at him, "If there are thieves who wear official and military armor to mix in, it will be a disaster! Now that Fuzun is ill, he will definitely lead his troops to attack Huajun. If the Governor doesn't find out the thief in time, then the inside and the outside should be combined, and Huajun will be in danger!"

Hearing this, Liang Teng's face changed: "It makes sense! It's just that Liu Baoruo took the opportunity to ......."

"If the superintendent doesn't dislike it, he will make a vow!" Ning Ze bowed.

"Say it quickly!" Liang Teng believed that Ning Ze's ability was good after what had happened before.

"Now the Pang Li Mountain bandits are definitely coming, it's a disaster!" Ning Ze said seriously, "Liu Bao may take advantage of the situation to make trouble, and it's another trouble! To deal with the bandits, it is too late to deal with Liu Bao, which is a dilemma. ”

Liang Teng nodded slightly, he agreed with Ning Ze's words, and now he really didn't have enough strength to deal with the internal and external forces at the same time, so he hurriedly asked, "What can I do?"

"It's better to use a knife to kill people, and you can break the predicament!" Ning Ze replied.

"What is killing people with a knife?" Liang Teng looked confused.

"Liu Bao has two hearts, and Fuzun is seriously ill and unable to take charge, which is the best opportunity. Ning Ze replied, "Presumably, he must have contacted the military generals in the city who were good friends with him and agreed to seize power." The first thing is military power! Lord Governor can use military power as bait to lure him out of the city, and when the Pangli Mountain bandits attack, let Liu Bao lead his troops to fight with him, and come to a lose-lose situation!"

"What?" Liang Teng's face changed greatly when he heard this, "It's too late for me to guard against him, how can I transfer the military power?" Besides, once the military power is handed over, Liu Bao's house will definitely turn back, and then my Liang family's head will not be guaranteed!"

"Lord Postmaster doesn't need to worry," Ning Ze beckoned lightly, "Come closer and listen to me." ”

Liang Teng approached Ning Ze with a puzzled expression, and the latter whispered in his ear, so and so, and so and so and so on.

After hearing this, his eyes widened and he was very surprised: "This, can this work?"

"If you want to break the situation, or even eliminate the threat of Huajun, Lord Postmaster might as well give it a try!" Ning Ze nodded confidently, "As long as it succeeds, you can ensure that there will be no worries inside and outside Huajun!"
