Chapter 107: Xiucai Meets Bing

More than a dozen cavalry outside Le'an City are rapidly marching towards Le'an City, and it seems that there is something important.

"General, the front is almost here, shall we go directly into the city or?" A cavalryman said to the white-robed general, who was at the front.

"Go to the East Gate Campus." The white-robed general was Liu Ke, the Le'an guerrilla general who Fan Xiwen ordered to call back, and on the way, Liu Ke received Fan Xiwen's summons again, and he was very clear about Tian Feng's intention this time. Fan Xiwen's meaning is also very clear, that is, Tian Feng cannot be allowed to succeed, and this matter is also clearly pointed out that Liu Ke is responsible for solving it.

"Yes." The cavalry answered, and then ran towards the school grounds.

A quarter of an hour later, Liu Ke led people to the East Gate School Field, dismounted and entered the Yuanmen Gate, and went straight to the martial arts arena in the center of the school field. The sergeant who was practicing stopped saluting when he saw Liu Ke, and Liu Ke kept nodding his head as a salute.

"Give me the drumsticks." Liu Ke stood where the bells and drums were placed and said to the soldiers who were beating the drums.

"Yes." The drummer put the drumstick on his hands, and at the same time he was beating the drum in his heart, and secretly said that the general wanted to punish me when he saw that I was weak in beating the drum?

"Bang bang bang." Liu Ke took the drumstick and slammed it on the drum, and the dense drum sounded, which turned out to be an assembly order.

In ancient times, the drum language was invented in the case of backward communication equipment, and the drum sound was used to make some simple military instructions. The assembly order, dense and powerful, indicates that there is an urgent matter that needs to be called in the army.

"Stand upright, take a break." After the three drums, the soldiers who were training in the school field immediately gathered into a small phalanx under the leadership of their respective squad leaders or company commanders, and then quickly moved closer to the center of the school field, and the whole process did not exceed ten breaths. It can be seen that the Le'an army is strict in military discipline and well-trained.

The drums in the East Gate School Field were dense and powerful, which immediately alarmed the people of the whole city, and Fan Xiwen and Tian Feng, who lived in the county government, naturally heard it. Tian Feng didn't know what was going on, so he hurried to find Fan Xiwen to ask for an explanation. When he came to the lobby, he found that Fan Xiwen was in a formal official mansion, looking into the distance with a serious face, muttering to himself.

"My lord, I wonder why the east of the city is beating such an eager drum? But what happened? As soon as Tian Feng walked into the lobby, he asked Fan Xiwen, and he didn't care about etiquette. ,

"Oh, don't drive adults, I don't know if I slept well last night." Fan Xiwen listened to Tian Feng's voice, so he turned to Tian Feng and made a salute.

"No need to be polite." Tian Feng hurriedly helped Fan Xiwen up, and the most important thing now is to figure out the situation outside the city.

"The drum beat just now is Le'an's assembly order, which can only be sounded when something big happens and requires a large number of troops. At present, the specific matter is not clear for the time being, and someone is being sent to inquire. Fan Xiwen looked in the direction of the East Gate campus and said with a solemn expression.

Tian Feng saw Fan Xiwen's expression like this, so he stopped making a sound and waited quietly for the news to come back.

Soon, a personal guard ran in and saluted Fan Xiwen.

"No need for Dolly, who rang the assembly order in the school yard? What is the reason for this? Fan Xiwen hurriedly asked the guards to tell the news that came back, and it seemed that it was quite urgent.

"My lord, the guerrilla general suddenly appeared in the school field, and then sounded the assembly order for no reason, and now thousands of soldiers in the school field are collectively silent there." The guard said with a strange expression.

"What? The person who came was prepared to go to the east gate with his own officer. Fan Xiwen was happy when he heard it, what kind of trick was Liu Ke doing. After Fan Xiwen finished speaking, he turned back to Tian Feng and said, "Don't drive adults, it's better to go and have a look with Xia Guan." ”

"It's okay, just to see the demeanor of the Le'an guerrilla general." Tian Feng agreed without thinking about it.

So the two of them each took a few relatives and rode straight to the east gate on fast horses.

At this time, the East Gate School Yard was collectively silent, as the guards said. It's not that the soldiers are playing with their tempers, but that Liu Ke didn't say a word after gathering all the soldiers here, and everyone looked at Liu Ke with anxiety in their hearts. Liu Ke has always been a cold-faced image in the army, and no one will feel strange even if he doesn't open his mouth for a day today, but this atmosphere is really depressing.

"The assembly order sounded today is not for anything else, it is because the bandits in Nangong are getting more and more powerful, and they will need to transfer troops again." Liu Ke, who had refused to speak before, suddenly spoke, because of the long silence, his lips were a little chapped, and the voice really made people feel the urge to cover their ears.

Before Liu Ke's words fell, the horses of Fan Xiwen and Tian Feng had already rushed to the front of the gate, and Liu Ke's time was really accurate.

Fan Xiwen was the first to dismount, Tian Feng originally planned to ride a horse and rush in directly, but after looking at Fan Xiwen's appearance, he gave up his plan, so he had to obediently dismount and follow Fan Xiwen into the gate.

"What happened?" Fan Xiwen walked up to Liu Ke and said knowingly.

"The bandits are powerful, and I want to mobilize an army to go again and destroy them in one fell swoop." Liu Ke said a little stiffly, the role he should play next is quite a need for this kind of tone.

"The bandits are powerful, didn't so many troops wipe them out?" Fan Xiwen showed a rather surprised expression.

"Well, now that I have mobilized an army to besiege the bandits in the Fuliu area, I still need about 3,000 men and horses to encircle them all in the encirclement designed before, and I will be able to capture them in one fell swoop when the time comes." Liu Ke said.

"And how many troops are still available?" Fan Xiwen seems to have vowed to play stupid to the end today, and it is really speechless to ask three questions. This situation made the assembled soldiers collectively dumbfounded, but the Le'an army, who knew that this military commander's temperament, would not run up to touch Fan Xiwen's forehead at this time to see if there was a fever, what they had to do at this time was to wait and see what happened.

"At present, only Le'an has 5,000 men and horses left, and the rest of the troops are almost all gathered in the Fuliu area, and there are very few soldiers and horses left." Liu Ke continued, his tone was still the same, and he didn't even blink his eyelids when he spoke, it seemed that he was quite calm.

"If you transfer all the troops, won't that give those who want to make trouble a chance to take advantage of it." Fan Xiwen shouted loudly, at this time, all the soldiers were really sure that the two adults standing in front today were really acting. The Le'an army sent troops to suppress more than 9,000 thieves, and at present, Le'an's troops are at least 20,000 people who can be drawn; And the entire territory of Anping has long been taken over by the three-way thief army, and no one dares to make trouble at all.

"We must exterminate all these bandits in one go, otherwise it will be difficult to have another chance in the future." Liu Ke said resolutely.

"Dare to ask if it's General Liu, a guerrilla general in Le'an?" After listening to the conversation between Fan Xiwen and Liu Ke, Tian Feng hurriedly ran out and said, if Liu Ke really transferred all the people away, wouldn't the two thousand people that Lord Assassin Shi wanted to transfer be yellow? At that time, the plan to study the military structure of the Le'an Army and strengthen the combat effectiveness of the Jizhou Army will be a complete failure, and this will not be allowed.

"Exactly, you are Lord Jizhou Don't Drive Tianfeng." Liu Ke's task is to transfer all of Le'an's troops out in front of Tian Feng, causing Tian Feng a phenomenon of lack of soldiers and major generals. Liu Ke is about to stage a show today before he meets the soldiers, and he can't explain it reasonably. Now that Tian Feng can't bear to jump out, what awaits him is the unreasonable troubles of Liu Ke's domineering general. Liu Ke was originally cold-spoken, but now that he clearly knew his purpose, his tone towards Tian Feng became even colder, and he was extremely stiff.

"Well, that's down there." Liu Ke's attitude is very wrong, at least Tian Feng thinks so. In this era when the status of civil officials is higher than that of military attachés, and Tian Feng is a stabbing historian, and Liu Ke is just a small guerrilla general, the difference between the identities of the two is huge, and Liu Ke's tone of voice is disrespectful to him in Tian Feng's ears. It's just that now this is the Le'an military camp, and in popular words, it is other people's territory, and you should bow your head when you should bow your head on other people's territory.

"I heard that the yellow turban thieves in Zhongshan, Changshan and other places have a resurgence again?" Tian Feng's retreat, Liu Ke immediately took advantage of the situation to seize the lead, and the next thing is to know that Tian Feng has lost the initial advantage, and what awaits him will only be the rout of the whole army.

"Yes, so my lord wants to send two thousand Le'an troops to listen to it, I wonder if the general can settle this matter now? Master Fan had already agreed to this matter before. Tian Feng couldn't get used to Liu Ke's aggressive posture, and felt as if he was a few levels lower than Liu Ke, so he was not polite when he spoke.

"As you can see, there are really a little more people needed to suppress the thieves, so we can't draw troops and horses for the time being." Liu Ke's words were actually only half of what he said, because he dug a big hole for Tian Feng in the back, and was waiting for Tian Feng to jump in with dry eyes in front of him.

"No, if the resurgence of the Yellow Turban thieves cannot be eliminated in time, then it is possible that the people of several counties will be harmed, and you can't ignore the lives of the people of several counties because of the suppression of thieves." Liu Ke made Tian Feng feel quite unhappy, so he spoke unceremoniously without a little discussion.

If Liu Ke was a person of this era, after knowing the rule that the status of military generals in this era has always been lower than that of civil officials, he might not speak to Tian Feng so angrily. It's just a pity that Liu Ke is not from this era, he comes from an era where the principle of "everyone is equal" is propagated every day, not to mention that today Liu Ke is going to trouble Tian Feng, where will he give in easily.
