Chapter 123: Rush to the Rescue

Shangguan Xiu wiped out the Lingyun Gang, this incident greatly shocked the bandits in the Yicheng area, the strength of the Lingyun Gang is not weak, it was actually leveled by Shangguan Xiu with only a dozen people, and the whole gang of more than 200 people, in the end, there was not a single living mouth, all the heads moved, this is simply too terrifying.

Since this incident, the bandits near Yicheng no longer dare to fight the idea of the Shura Hall caravan, even if they know that the Shura Hall caravan has a large amount of real money and silver, as long as they attack, they will have it at their fingertips, but no one dares to offend, which is the deterrent effect brought by Shangguan Xiu's initiative this time.

Kill a hundred examples, knock on the mountain and shock the tiger, a ruthless time, in exchange for peace of mind in the future, there is no more cost-effective deal.

And in this operation, Shangguan Xiu also had an unexpected gain, that is, Duan Qiyue's refuge. So far, Duan Qiyue can be regarded as the one with the highest cultivation level in the Shura Hall, the cultivation of the eighth spirit god realm, even if he doesn't do anything in Yicheng, as long as he stops in the city, it will produce a powerful enough deterrent power.

Shangguan Xiu and his entourage returned to Yicheng, in the city lord's mansion, Luo Ren, Zhan Xiong and others were there, and when they saw Shangguan Xiu coming back, everyone stepped forward one after another and asked, "Brother Xiu, where have you been? We are all looking for you!"

"Is there something wrong?"

Luo Ren was just about to speak, his eyes fell on Duan Qiyue, and asked, "Brother Xiu, is this ......?"

"My name is Duan Qiyue, Brother Xiu, who took refuge just now, is now Brother Xiu's brother!"

"Oh, it turned out to be Brother Duan!" Hearing that it was his own person, Luo Ren smiled on his face.

"Just call me Lao Duan in the future. Duan Qiyue said boldly.

Luo Ren and the others also reported their names one after another, and introduced each other to Duan Qiyue.

Then, Luo Ren's face was straight, he looked at Shangguan Xiu, and said: "Brother Xiu, Tashan is in an emergency! Just now, the city lord of Tashan City sent someone to Yicheng to ask for help, please send troops to help Tashan immediately!"

Shangguan Xiu asked puzzledly, "Good and decent, why is Tashan suddenly in an emergency?"

"Today's rebels attack the city, because the city defense of Tashan is strong, the rebels can not attack for a long time, and the casualties are heavy, and have no choice but to retreat, the city captain of Tashan thought that there was an opportunity, so he led the defenders of the city out of the city to pursue the rebels, who knows, the rebels retreated is a plan, the Tashan city army was ambushed outside the city, the city captain was killed, most of the casualties of the soldiers, and now the situation in Tashan is precarious. ”

Shangguan Xiu sighed lightly, there were several rebels outside Tashan City, and the captain of Tashan City dared to go out of the city to attack the enemy, wasn't that looking for his own death?

Luo Ren asked, "Brother Xiu, should we rescue Tashan." ”

Cao Lei frowned and said, "I heard that there are thousands of rebels outside Tashan City, and our brothers in Yicheng are only a few hundred, how can we save them?"

Luo Ren lowered his head and pondered, but did not answer, and the rest of the people nodded their heads, saying that Cao Lei's words were right, with his current strength, to rescue Tashan, it was undoubtedly to hit the stone with an egg, and if he didn't get it right, he had to put the lives of his hundreds of brothers into it.

Shangguan Xiu looked around at everyone present and asked, "Do you all think we shouldn't go to rescue Tashan?"

"Brother Xiu, it's not that we shouldn't save it, it's that we don't have that ability. Yuan Mu said: "What's more, we have no contact with Tashan, and there is no need to take the lives of our own brothers in order to rescue Tashan!"

Shangguan Xiu shook his head, such a good opportunity, why couldn't the brothers see it?

His face was straight, and he said: "Tashan, we must be saved, even if we take the lives of many brothers, we must save Tashan and bring it into our own hands." ”

Everyone was shocked when they heard this, and looked at Shangguan Xiu blankly. The latter said: "Huya Pass, Yicheng, and Tashan are in a triangular trend, and if you take Tashan, you can form horns with each other, and no matter which side encounters the enemy, the other two places can rush to the aid as soon as possible." I've always wanted to take Tower Hill, but I haven't been able to find the right opportunity, and this time Tower Hill is in an emergency, isn't it a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity?

When he finished speaking, everyone's faces showed a look of sudden realization, it turned out that Brother Xiu had already had an idea about Tashan! Cao Lei rolled his eyes, and immediately echoed: "That's right, that's right, for us, the location of Tashan is too important, take Tashan, the three cities can be combined into a whole, and Tashan is rich in food, we are short of food now, Brother Xiu's meaning coincides with what my old Cao thought in his heart!haha!"

Everyone gave Cao Lei a blank look, and asked him with their eyes, do you still want to be shameless?!

Luo Ren said thoughtfully: "Taking Tashan will certainly have many benefits for us, but the rebels outside Tashan City should not be underestimated. ”

Shangguan Xiu nodded and said, "So, we need to think of a good plan." As he spoke, he said, "Are the people who came from Tower Hill to ask for help still there?"

"Yes, rest in the inn now. ”

"Bring him here. ”

"Yes! Brother Xiu!" Luo Ren agreed, and ordered the soldiers below to immediately go and bring the messenger from Tashan to the City Lord's Mansion.

This soldier is an uncle, when he came to the City Lord's Mansion and saw Shangguan Xiu, he hurriedly bowed his hand and said respectfully: "Villain Liang Rui, see Lord Shangguan." ”

"You don't have to be polite. Liang Rui, let me ask you, how many defenders are there in Tashan City now?"

"Don't dare to deceive Lord Shangguan, our army is no longer five hundred. ”

"How many rebels are there outside the city?"

"Close to two thousand. ”

"A rebel army with two thousand people?" "Two thousand people is not a small number, in Shangguan Xiu's impression, there are not so many rebels in this border area.

"No, not one rebel army, but three rebel armies!"

"Which three?"

"One is the rebel army led by Pan Feng, Pan Feng has the most under his command, there are more than 800 people, they are also the main force attacking my Tashan, and the other two are the rebel army led by Zhan Yue and Jin Lin, both of which have about 500 people. ”

"Show me the drawing. ”

There was a pen, ink, paper and inkstone in the hall, Liang Rui picked up the pen and drew the general direction of the three rebels outside Tashan City, and explained at the same time: "This is the camp of the Pan Feng rebels, this is the camp of the Zhan Yue rebels, and this is the camp of the Jinlin rebels." ”

Shangguan Xiu nodded while listening and watching, and asked again: "Who is Pan Feng? Who are Zhan Yue and Jin Lin? ”

Liang Rui Zhengse said: "Pan Feng used to be a bandit, but he was later captured, and he was already on death row, ready to be beheaded one day, but later he escaped, he gathered his subordinates, and recruited a large number of bandits to form a rebel army. Zhan Yue was also born as a bandit, and the rebels under his command were basically his subordinates, Jin Lin was originally a member near Tashan, and he was kind and charitable, but because he had some personal grievances with the city lord, when the world was in turmoil, he also rose up and formed a rebel army of more than 500 people. ”

Shangguan Xiu listened carefully, and secretly pondered in his heart, Pan Feng and Zhan Yue are of the same nature, not so much a rebel, but a bandit who has become a climate, as for Jin Lin, it is a bit peculiar, what personal grudge does he have with the city lord, can make him not even a good outsider, but risk being killed and become a rebel?

He asked curiously, "What personal grudge does Jin Lin have with Lord Ma (Ma Shun, the lord of Tower Hill City)?"

"This ......"

"Brother Xiu asks you anything, what are you doing?" Luo Ren reprimanded in a deep voice dissatisfied.

"Uh...... The city lord wanted to marry Jin Lin's daughter, but Jin Lin did not agree, and the city lord ordered Jin Lin to send his daughter to the city lord's mansion within a month, otherwise he would be punished......" As he spoke, Liang Rui peeked at Shangguan Xiu from time to time to see how he reacted.

Shangguan Xiu's expression did not change, he smiled indifferently, and said casually: "So, Jin Lin's rebellion should be classified as the rebellion of the officials and the people?"

Liang Rui hurriedly shook his head and said: "The city lord can take a fancy to the young lady of the Jin family, that is the blessing of the Jin family, it is Jin Lin who does not know what to do, and insists on not obeying ......."

"As far as I know, Master Ma is fifty years old, and there are so many concubines that he can't even count them, and he even wants to take concubines, should I say that he is insatiable, or should I say that he is old and strong?" Shangguan Xiu asked with a smile.

"This, this, this ......" Liang Rui couldn't answer, and he was hesitant and hesitant.

Shangguan Xiu said: "You go back to restore your life, when you see Master Ma, just say that my Yicheng army will rush to Tashan tonight at the latest, as long as Tashan is not lost during the day today, at night, the rebels outside Tashan City will be wiped out!"

When Liang Rui heard this, he was surprised and delighted, bowed to Shangguan Xiu, and said in a loud voice: "Thank you, Lord Shangguan, thank you to the whole city of Tashan, the villain!"

Shangguan Xiu waved his hand and said, "Go back and recover your life!"

"The villain retires, and the villain will go back to Tashan to tell the city lord the good news!" Liang Rui's face was full of joy and excitement, and he bowed to Shangguanxiu again and withdrew from the hall.

Waiting for Liang Rui to leave, everyone present gathered around Shangguan Xiu and asked, "Brother Xiu, let's go to Tashan tonight?"

Shangguan Xiu nodded in response: "That's right!"

"That'...... How many brothers do we bring?"

"Two hundred is enough. ”

"Only...... Brother Xiu, Liang Rui also said just now, the rebels outside Tashan City are close to 2,000 people, and we will fight 2,000 against 2,000, this is ...... Is there a chance of winning this?"

Shangguan Xiu smiled and said confidently: "The soldiers are expensive but not too expensive, two hundred elites, against a rabble of two thousand, it is easy to win." As he spoke, he pointed to the map that Liang Rui had just drawn and said, "Old Duan, Ah Jue!"

"The subordinates are here!" Duan Qiyue and Xiao Jue both took a step forward.

"Tonight, at midnight, I want you two to lead the brothers of the Huayu faction into Zhan Yuejun's camp and take off Zhan Yue's head!" Shangguan Xiu clicked on the map and asked, "Can you do it?"

"Five hundred rebels, they can't stop us!" Duan Qiyue and Xiao Jue's eyes lit up, and they said in unison.
