Volume 1 Xiao Yuanba Chapter 104 The River Demon of Pagoda Town

Lou Shiming laughed, walked over and patted Qianzhong on the back, and said, "Why should Sima be humble? The eldest husband was born in the world, and when he stood up to the heavens and the earth, why couldn't he speak freely when he looked forward and backwards?

Yintuo doesn't want to live under the Lou clan, it's not a secret, what can't be said?"

In fact, many things are like this, and once the window paper is punctured, there are not many scruples. Qianzhong laughed dryly, and arched his hand: "The second son is really a cool person, and he admires it very much!"

"Really?" Lou Shiming tilted his head to look at him: "I am indeed a solid and straightforward person, if there is, there is, if there is not, there is nothing. But you literati may not know what kind of bend you are going around in your heart, and you may not know what you are slandering me in your belly."

"Don't dare, don't dare!"

"Alright, son, I won't go around the bend with you." Lou Shiming pointed outside the door:

"I've sent the Rogal (scouts on livestock) and the Sentinels (scouts on foot) to inquire about the situation of the Silver Marshal, but no one has yet reported back. Do you know what that means?"

Qianzhong looked down and asked, "But Yinshuai is not in a good situation?"

"It's not good, it's likely that the main force of the army has been surrounded."

"Huh? So, is there a way to save the second son?" He was in a hurry, and hurriedly begged: "Or can you lead the team down the mountain and open a bloody road to save Yinshuai out?"

"I only have more than a thousand soldiers around me, and the rest are the rout soldiers before the containment, and they have not had time to rectify, nor have they been allowed to rest properly, how can they fight?

Besides, if the people sent out do not come back, we don't even know the enemy's situation, where are they, how many of them, and what kind of armament? You can't just go out and run into a blind bumper with both eyes, or you're going to crash into your pocket."

Lou Shiming looked at the depressed expression in the pious and comforted him: "Sima Mo is in a hurry, maybe there will be news after waiting, let's not be stinging our hands first, and it is only right to stabilize the hearts of the people on the mountain."

"Yes, to stabilize people's hearts, what the second son said is very important!" He looked lost and depressed, and nodded yes.

He peeked at Lou Shiming, and began to regret that he should have left with everything on the mountain earlier, but now it was too late to leave.

He didn't think that Yintuo would be put into a trap by others, but it was also Yintuo, how could it be so easy to be calculated?

He was puzzled in his heart, and when he looked at Lou Shiming again, he happened to see the other party too, and he was so frightened that he hurriedly dodged.

"But you don't believe me?"

"Uh, where, where, how dare you question the second son?"

"It's not that I can't save myself when I see death, but I want to send rescue and be a prophet." Lou Shiming stretched out two fingers:

"Know the enemy's situation, understand the opponent's weaknesses, try to surprise as much as possible, and attack more and less to break through the encirclement;

In addition, it is necessary to communicate with each other inside and outside, so that colleagues know that reinforcements are coming, and at the same time, it is best for us to get in touch with the inner line to understand the direction and intention of their breakthrough.

Without these two, reinforcements will easily become fat to the door, and people will lose half their lives if they can't save them, is it worth it?"

When he had finished speaking, he sat down in his chair and said, "Rest easy. What's more, I believe that Yinshuai is definitely not given for nothing.

No matter how great the ability of the officers and soldiers and regiments is, they are just a rabble. If you want to swallow Yinshuai, they are still very tender!"

In fact, what he thought in his heart was that it was best for the two of them to fight to the death, and then pick a ready-made peach by himself.

Hearing this, his heart settled down a little, and he was about to sit back, when Lou Shiming's words made him stand up involuntarily.

"But you also have to make a good mind before you go, if Yinshuai is really defeated, or if there is an accident, how do you deal with yourself?"

"Silver and silver are still there, why did the second and second sons say this?"

"I'm not saying this to curse Silver Shuai. Everything is prepared, and when you are used to being a general, you must not only think about what will happen after victory, but also think about what to do if you are defeated, how to retreat, where to retreat, and so on.

It's just a number of eyes to prepare a way out for yourself and your subordinates. Moreover, you have not only the brothers in your hands, but also so many people and their families."

Lou Shiming said on his face

I don't know what kind of expression it is, so that Qianzhong looks like a beast is facing him.

"I...... I didn't think about it." He told the truth: "But, just now the second prince said that Yinshuai was not given for nothing......."

"Hah!" Lou Shiming patted the armrest of the chair: "Xiang Yu didn't give it for nothing, didn't he kill himself in the end?" There is no invincible general in the world!"

Silent in piety. It's not that he hasn't thought about it, but the result is too terrible for people to continue thinking about.

If Yintuo was really defeated or even killed, he could imagine the soldiers and the people scattering in a hurry, or looting the baggage in the camp and then scattering.

Those who are the least fortunate are the ones who may be plundered, slaughtered or humiliated, and they themselves may have to take refuge before they are innocent.

Thinking of this, he sighed reverently, "I hope it doesn't come to this point!"

Before the words fell, Mo Xueyi strode in, he glanced at Qianzhong, holding the hilt of the sword without speaking. "Xueyou (Mo Xueyi) came in a hurry, but there is something important? Sima is not an outsider, but it doesn't hurt to talk about it."

Facing his uncle's eyes, Lou Shiming had already seen something from his somewhat excited and excited gaze, so he smiled and encouraged him.

"Second general, there are only two ways to come back and report that Yinshuai has been defeated!"

"What did you say? What is going on, can you elaborate on that?" Lou Shiming was stunned, looked at the pale pity, and hurriedly asked for details.

Although he wanted Yintuo to be taught a lesson, he didn't think that he wouldn't be able to hold out even one morning, which was still very surprising to him.

Mo Xueyi also heard the news from the people who came back, and the descriptions of the two groups of people were different, and it took him a lot of effort to figure out a clue and figure out the appearance of the plot before and after.

It turned out that after seeing the terrain clearly in the morning, Yintuo decided to change the way of attack, changing to attract in the middle and outflank on both wings.

Who would have thought that there were arrangements on both sides, and for a while the ambush broke out, and there were generals flanking attacks, resulting in a big rout in the middle, and the left and right flanks fell into a bitter battle.

The captain of the middle lane was stabbed to death by a monk with a spear, the right wing that had lost his command was divided between the terrain and could not get out.

At the same time, Captain Zhu, who was commanding on the left flank, was seriously wounded by a cold arrow, and the regimental training in the woods took the opportunity to launch a counterattack, and the left flank was defeated.

Wang Xi led his own soldiers to block it, but his whereabouts in the chaotic army were unknown. The defeated soldiers turned around like a tide and rushed towards Yintuo's Chinese army.

Seeing that the opponent had begun to counterattack on all fronts, Yintuo probably wanted to attract the opponent to the pond and then turn the tide of the battle with superior forces.

Unexpectedly, as soon as the Chinese army moved, the enemy shouted slogans such as "Yintuo is defeated", and the situation was out of control, and even the Chinese army could not stop its footsteps, so they had to turn around and flee with the rout.

"It's really a blink of an eye, our people can see clearly from a high place, and in an instant the whole army collapses. The generals of the officers and soldiers are still chasing and fighting, and many of our brothers have been killed and wounded."

Mo Xueyi continued: "Later, the rout army retreated along the west bank of the Belt Lake, but who knew that the people had already arranged to block it, and many people surrendered when they saw that they could not escape, and a small number of people are said to have fled to the northwest."

"You may not be able to escape to the northwest, that road is to Fengshan, and it is strange that the officers and soldiers in Fengshan Fort can sit idly by! Unless they go to Dayuan, maybe Sun Gu can still take it."

Lou Shiming frowned and thought about it, and asked, "Do you know where Yin Shuai went?"

"They said they didn't see it." Mo Xueyi shook his hand: "I only saw from a distance on the mountain that Yinshuai's handsome flag was snatched by the monk he said earlier by Wutang."

"Hey, that's weird! Could it be that this monk and Yintuo had an old relationship with each other, why did they chase and kill them with such mortal force?" Lou Shiming couldn't cry or laugh, so he had to ask:

"And what's going on down the hill now?" He shouted in a pretentious manner, "Hurry up and gather five hundred people, and follow me down the mountain to meet the brothers!"

"Second brother, where are you going? What is it that is so loud and loud?" Lou Shifan woke up and walked into the door, rubbing his eyes and asking with a confused face when he heard the last sentence.

"The third general, Yinshuai has been defeated, and the second general will go down the mountain to answer." Mo Xueyi told him.

"What, defeated?" Lou Shifan was taken aback: "This, how is this possible? That's an army of five or six thousand!"

"Alas, it was rushed by the rout." Lou Shiming spread out his hands: "This silver handsome can be regarded as a long-term battle, how could he be in such a way? I really don't understand!"

"No matter what, second brother, you can't go down the mountain at this time!" Lou Shifan warned.

"Why?"

"Then Li Sanlang, I know too well, the thief is extremely cunning, maybe where he is ambushing the team now, just waiting for the mountain to go down to catch the people off guard!

Even if there is no ambush, I'm afraid he knows how to take advantage of the situation, right? Dazhai has few soldiers and unstable morale at this time, how can he not want to stretch out his hand!"

Lou Shifan said that the stars were flying wildly, which really made Lou Shiming hesitate a little.

"It's ...... too." He stroked his red beard and frowned, then suddenly turned around and said, "Why doesn't Qian Sima speak? What does the gentleman have to say or what can he teach me in this situation? What are we going to do next?"

Qianzhong's face was gloomy and his mood was low, especially when he heard that Yintuo's whereabouts were unknown, he really regretted it, and he felt more and more that he should have gone down the mountain immediately to rendezvous.

Maybe with the addition of his own thousand life forces, things will not be like now, or can he make plans by Yintuo's side and things can be recovered? But it's too late to say anything.

"It's good to be distraught and distraught." He replied blankly.

"Ah, this isn't like your pious style." Lou Shiming waved his hand:

"I heard that Yintuo has always entrusted you with the responsibility of guarding the camp when he fights, so he has the title of 'Sitting Tiger'.

Now that Yin Shuai is not here, how can Qian Sima say that he is upset and pushes it all away?

There are thousands of soldiers, more than 1,000 people and so many family members left behind, you are now their backbone, and the one who should make the decision is the one who should take the idea!"

"At present, the great enemy is not as devout as a scholar, what can he do?" Qianzhong said and looked at Lou Shiming: "It's better to ......, it's better to ......."

"Why not as good as what?"

Gritting his teeth, he knew how many pounds and taels he had. The allocation of military supplies, the deployment of manpower, the planning of military discussions, and the account books and documents are all difficult for him, but when it comes to decision-making and battles, he absolutely has black eyes and does not know where to start.

In other words, this person has always thought of himself as a supporting character, and you ask him to suddenly stand in the middle of the platform and sing the lead role, and he doesn't know how to sing it.

"The second son is respected on the mountain, and everything is up to you." He said deeply in his reverence. He sighed in his heart, knowing that in this way, the family business saved by Yintuo would all belong to others. But in other words, can it not be?

If you don't say this, the Lou family brothers are watching from the side, and the middle officer, the three of them can beat themselves to death with one punch, and then the benefits of the mountain will still belong to the Lou family. Look at the book

Yintuo is partial and nowhere to be found, who else can suppress Lou Shiming and Lou Shifan?

"Can you think about it? If you want me to call the shots, you must do what I do. If there is anyone who disobeys on this mountain, I will kill him!"

Lou Shiming glanced at Mo Xueyi, who pulled out half of the sword with a menacing "cang" sound.

"The great enemy is not the time to care about the interests of each family, so to let the brothers and families rest assured, the second son must come forward to preside. Since you are in charge of the affairs of the mountain, the rebels of the world are one family, and I will obey your orders." He replied in piety.

"Okay, in that case, let's gather the sentry chief and above to discuss the matter, and ask Qian Sima to clarify the matter with his brothers in person, and I will hand over the rest to distribute." After Lou Shiming finished speaking, he ordered the drums to gather the generals.

There are not many big and small leaders on the mountain, and most of them are people brought by Lou Shiming. Everyone quickly gathered, and at this time, someone noticed that the main defense of the mountain had been taken over by the Lou family, and even the inside and outside of the council hall had changed people.

Qianzhong spoke first, Yintuo was defeated and disappeared, there was no owner on the mountain, since the cottage had been handed over to Lou Ergongzi according to Yinshuai's order, then it should be up to him to give orders and other things to everyone.

The eyes of everyone exchanged, everyone in the Lou family was in good spirits, and no one dared to disobey the secret screams left by Yintuo. Lou Shi

Ming stepped forward to greet everyone first, and then said three things:

In the future, the supply of grain and rice will be in accordance with the rules of the Lou Army; In view of the tight war, the materials, grain and family members on the mountain were immediately transferred to the direction of Chashanqi; The officers left behind by the silver marshal will all maintain their official positions, and those with uneven subordinates will be given priority to make up.

As soon as these three articles were finished, the hearts of the people were settled, and everyone cheered, showing goodwill and expressing their heartfelt feelings to the second and third sons.

Then Lou Shiming glanced at Mr. Hu Whistle, who bowed his head and was silent, and said that if there was anyone who was unwilling to stay, he would not force it. Hu Whistle always hesitated for a moment, took a step forward, knelt down, kowtowed, and said:

"It's not small, I don't know what to do, but everyone sees and remembers the kindness of the second son. It's just that the little one is a fellow villager of Yinshuai, and he is concerned about his safety, and now he may be in danger, and the villain can't bear to abandon him.

Please be gracious to the second son, and Xu villain will go down the mountain to find the whereabouts of Yinshuai. If he dies in battle, the villain buries his bones and fulfills his fellow countrymen, and then comes back and casts himself in front of the second son to serve him.

If Yinshuai is still alive, please let the little one obey him safely. In the future, no matter the ends of the world, when the second son is useful to the villain, he will repay him!"

"Well, yes, he's a loyal man. I promised you, but do you still want to do it?"

Hearing this, the two sentry chiefs looked at each other and knelt behind the chief whistle: "The villain and the others are also handsome fellow villagers, and they have the same mind as the chief whistle, and they ask the second son to be fulfilled!"

"If you have a loyal heart, why hide it?" Lou Shiming stepped forward and picked up the three of them:

"My father will soon be crowned the founding of the country, and you must have heard about it, and the new country is called for such loyal courtiers. Go with confidence, neither do any harm nor hinder you, but be faithful to you.

But you must also remember the oath you have made, I love the people of Cigna, and do not disappoint me!" After speaking, call Mo Xueyi:

"You personally sent the three of them down the mountain, and each gave ten taels of silver to make a coil, and pay attention to avoid the regimental training and officers and soldiers of the green shirts. If you really can't get out, you can come back again."

The three of them left gratefully, and those who stayed admired that the Second Heavenly King was really generous, but few knew that this was called a thousand gold to buy horse bones.

Seeing off the three of them, Lou Shiming returned to the main seat and sat down, and said to everyone, "Ladies and gentlemen, for a long time, my Chinese army has been served by Mo Xueyi.

But in fact, everyone knows that he is my relative, and it is not suitable for him to hold this important position, and besides, he himself is not used to military affairs because he is interested in business, and has submitted his resignation to me many times. Today is an opportunity, and I want him to officially take over and retire from the military."

The crowd was amazed. An officer asked, "Dare to ask the second son, who will take over the position of this Chinese army, and who will we talk to in the future?"

Lou Shiming pointed with his hand: "Qian Sima is familiar with military affairs, and is wise and resourceful, I would like to ask Ziqian to temporarily serve as a Chinese officer, I don't know what you want?"

The gods froze.

In addition to being responsible for assisting the commander in managing various affairs of the team, the lieutenant officer is equivalent to the lieutenant general's adjutant general, and has the duties of supervision, supervision, and supervision, and is responsible for the escort of the commander, and even handles private and hidden affairs for the commander.

This is much higher than the "military horse" in charge of logistics!

He was stunned for a moment, turned his head and looked at the crowd at a loss, and finally could not stand still in the midst of a congratulatory voice, and "plopped" to his knees, and said in a trembling voice, "My subordinates will do their best to do their best to repay them!"
