Volume 1 Xiao Yuanba Chapter 226 A Youthful Attempt
Back in his big tent, Lou Shiming turned around and whipped Long Hui, and roared angrily: "The surname Long, do you think that your head is too redundant, and you need Lao Tzu to help you cut off a few?" ”
Long Hui "plopped" and knelt down, and the big and small leaders behind him who wanted to follow up quickly took a look at this posture and quickly retracted their feet. "Long Hui is at fault, please punish the second son."
Although this whip didn't hurt on the armor, Long Hui felt that his face was hot. He was an old man who followed Lou Zishi to join the army, but in front of him was the Shaodong family, so Long Hui had to reluctantly take off his helmet and put it on the ground.
"Have you thought about the consequences of your own actions today?" Lou Shiming sat in front of him angrily, pointing and scolding: "Who gave you the idea?" Cut it right away! ”
"Long Hui's own idea, don't do it to others." Long Hui replied in a whisper.
Lou Shiming sneered: "You still want to cover up, right?" I tell you, that man will kill you later!" Then he grabbed the pot and poured it into his mouth.
"What you do today, if you shoot Li Sanlang to death, then Li Sanlang will fall, the other party has no backbone, and there is no chance to take advantage of it. But if you can't shoot to death, or if you only shoot and injure, where do you leave me and the three generals?
The scene was opposite the gate of the Tsing Yi barracks, and we also knew that most of them were riding horses or chariots, and they were in front of us in an instant. What's the point of your risk?
I was going to persuade Li Dan to release the third brother as soon as possible, but this is good, he will recite the Buddha without delaying the hexagram! What did the big brother send you to do? It's to save people, not to harm people! Who told you to come here to show off your skills? Then why don't you go back now! ”
The more he talked, the bigger the fire became, and he slapped the few people next to him so much that he couldn't stand it, and three of his four legs were broken with a "click" sound.
"Long Hui knows it's wrong."
"Do you really know what's wrong?" Lou Shiming sneered.
"Second general, we just feel aggrieved, we are the masters, they are guests, here are the cavalry, and they still have the convoy of people. Why do we just go around behind their butts? Therefore, the last general will make his own decisions. ”
Lou Shiming heard him tell the truth, and half of his anger disappeared: "My third brother is in charge of his own affairs, and you are also in charge of his own affairs, but you are doing what you want?" The result? He lost 3,000 people, and if I hadn't been there, would you have wanted to come back today?
Look at the cavalry behind you, you didn't notice how people cut off your back road for a long time, and you don't know the reason for your death! Stupid or not?
You just think, 'If you can shoot that thief,' you don't want to think that twenty or thirty people can pinch him?
Yintuo has an army of 8,000, what is the result? Won't you still be defeated at his hands? I was almost bald and was shown to the public! Why do you think you can endure more than anyone else? ”
Long Hui swallowed and foamed, and admitted his mistake again: "The last general knows that he is wrong, please punish the second son!" ”
Lou Shiming gritted his teeth: "You, and those bastard boys who went with you, each remembered twenty military sticks!" If you make a mistake again, you will be punished together, even if you are an old man at the time of the incident, I will not spare it at that time! ”
Secretly relieved, Long Hui said goodbye and withdrew, walked to the door and turned back to ask, "Second son, do you really just watch them leave?" ”
"Let's wait until they let my brother go!" Lou Shiming snorted: "Do you think I don't want to beat that thief?"
But now that he has a hostage in his hands, we can't mess around. When Shifan comes back, we have no scruples. At that time, if you want to pinch him, is he still with you? ”
"Oh! Understood, the last will retire! Long Hui was overjoyed, and then he bowed his hand and withdrew from the account.
Lou Shiming sighed and sat down with the cloth towel wrapped around his head. Oh my god, he only felt the swelling and pain of the wound now! He decided to return first tomorrow when he received his younger brother, not wanting to get involved in the pursuit of the Tsing Yi team, and besides, he still had the responsibility of guarding the north wall!
Here, I'll leave it to Long Hui to toss. Li Sanlang, I am worthy of you in doing this, you have to walk the road by yourself, whether it is a blessing or a curse has nothing to do with me!
In the Tongjialing camp.
This place is a small hill, and it is an exaggeration to say that it is a ridge, but in fact, the highest point is only about 40 feet. Some families are located in the southern foothills, while Li Dan's camp is located in the east. The old rule is to use horse-drawn carriages to line up, and there are fences to protect them at critical points outside.
The difference is that there are a lot of pig iron pieces hanging on the fence, and when someone shakes and pushes the fence, the iron pieces collide with each other and make a sound, which is tantamount to giving an alarm to the sentry in the quiet night. This was also one of the results of the "Pig Iron Utilization Seminar".
After the meal, Li Dan invited Gao Hanzi and Reggis to walk around the camp, not only to check the defense, but also to discuss what could be improved by camping at night, and to discuss tomorrow's itinerary and arrangements.
"Lou Shifan will be released when he arrives at Qigongtan, I am afraid that Lou Shiming will be unscrupulous after receiving someone, so sir, we still can't take it lightly!" Regis said.
"Sir's fears are not unfounded." Li Dan turned around and asked Gao Hanzi: "Monk, you used to be a subordinate of the Lou family, what do you think?" ”
"Sir, I'm not worried about Lou Shiming's house, but that Long Hui has to be careful."
"Oh? Isn't that the same thing? "Regis didn't get it.
"It's different." Gao Hanzi replied: "Lou Shiming doesn't like intrigues and tricks, and he prides himself on being a Zhou Lang-like character. Long Hui is different, he is the most powerful thug in front of Lou Zishi, and he has always been very domineering in the army by virtue of his qualifications.
Just like today, he dared to act brutally without orders, which is rarely the case among other generals. So I guess he will not be happy to turn around and go back tomorrow, and will continue to follow, looking for an opportunity to bite us to feel at ease! ”33
"That's a wolf!" Li Dan nodded: "I will add one more reason to support the monk: Lou Shiming is too capable and has quite a lot of appeal among the newly rising middle and lower-level officers, so Lou Zishi and Lou Shiyong father and son are very jealous of him."
This time, because Lou Shifan stumbled, they had to invite Lou Shiming out of the role of carrying grain and grass, and give him the power to lead troops and be responsible for the encirclement of the northern city wall, which of course would not last long.
However, since he has the responsibility of encircling the northern city wall at present, he will definitely not stay here for too long, this guy will probably return immediately after receiving Lou Shifan, and the rest of the matter will be like what the monk said, Long Hui will be in charge. ”
"Oh! If you look at it like this, this Long Hui will be very annoying! Reggis suddenly realized.
"We have three approaches: react passively and fight and go; design ambushes, kills and frustrates the enemy; Take the initiative to lure the enemy and annihilate Long Hui! After Li Dan finished speaking, he turned around and looked at the two: "What kind of ...... do you think to use?" ”
"I agree with the third option. The reason is that the enemy is inferior in numbers to us, the terrain in the mountains is inferior to mine, and in addition, our troops have sufficient food, and the enemy may not be fully prepared to pursue them in a hurry. Gao Hanzi said.
Li Dan looked at Rejis, who nodded: "I agree with Gao Yingzheng." If Lou Shiming returns tomorrow, he will take some men with him, which will inevitably weaken the chasing force. And one more point," he pretended to point to the sky mysteriously, "sir, it will rain from the afternoon to the night the day after tomorrow, which is not good for the cavalry. ”
"Oh? How do you know this? Li Dan asked with a smile.
"Hehe, don't hide it from the lord, everyone was busy camping, so they went to the village to beg for a bowl of water to drink. Local villagers told me that earthworms and ants are very lively, and that it is necessary to travel early in the morning, and there will probably be rain in the afternoon. And after this rain, there will be autumn frost. ”
Reggis is also honest, and he didn't make a fool of himself like some people, and did something like "heaven cannot be revealed". Li Dan nodded with satisfaction and said to Gao Hanzi:
"Field research, listen to the introduction of the villagers, Mr. Lei This is the spirit of Gewu, which is worth learning from! If this matter is really helpful to annihilate Long Hui, it should be included in the textbook of the teaching team, so that all officers know the benefits of Gewu for winning battles! ”
"Your Excellency is wise, and the lord has praised it!" Reggis hurriedly lost his manners, and he couldn't help but feel a sense of pride in his heart, and he felt that he had died as a confidant.
Li Dan came to the carriage of the prince.
Here is surrounded by a green cloth curtain into two circles, the inner and the outer. The carriage and a small tent were in the inner circle, with one eunuch standing at the entrance of the outer circle with his hand in hand, and another standing in the corner between the two circles.
The place where the guards rested was a dozen paces away from the curtain, and the four corners could be seen with spear guards. Li Dan knew that there were still secret sentinels around here, but they didn't show up.
"Has the prince rested?" Li Dan asked in a low voice.
"Sir, it's already rested. Today, the master is tired, mainly because he didn't sleep well last night. The eunuch replied.
Li Dan nodded: "It's okay, you should be able to sleep well tonight." Please pass it on, about the itinerary of tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, I will explain it to the two girls. ”
The eunuch bowed, but nodded to the eunuch inside. Only then did Li Dan understand that there was a difference between the two of them. There was a few whispers inside, and for a moment the eunuch bowed: "Sir, please!" ”
Neither of them had yet slept, and one of them should have stayed in the carriage while the prince rested, while the other slept in the little tent outside the carriage, and then changed shifts in the middle of the night.
However, when I heard that Li Dan was coming, my sister took the initiative to take care of her in the car, and Wu Ning'er greeted her in front of the car and blessed Li Dan slightly: "Why is Ah Lang so late and hasn't rested?" She asked.
Hearing her call Li Dan like this, she felt a little big, but she was embarrassed to refute others, so she had to answer vaguely: "Look at the guards everywhere, and then go to my sister." Then he asked, "What is the son?" ”
"Children, they like to come out, they are curious about everything, but they can't bear to travel long distances." Wu Ning'er smiled bitterly: "Actually, I will be sleepy after the afternoon, so I will sleep for a while and wake up for a while." ”
"It's hard for him, he has to come out to bump at such a young age." After Li Dan said this, he suddenly remembered that he was also so old, and when his aunt helped his father's coffin back to his hometown, he quickly changed the subject: "Sister and sister are okay?" ”
"What can we have? Such a comfortable carriage is really a blessing, I don't know how many times stronger than when we were sold! Wu Ning'er lowered her head and said softly.
What she said made Li Dan feel pity: "Okay, don't be sad, there won't be anything like that in the future." After a pause, he said, "I'm here to talk to you about my fate and the itinerary for the day after tomorrow." ”
"Oh?" Wu Ning'er looked up in surprise: "Lang Jun came to talk about the itinerary so late, but what has changed?" ”
Li Dan found that this girl was quite sensitive, smiled and said:
"Guess right, the leader of the bandits who caught up today is the second son of the Lou family, and we captured his younger brother as a hostage, so he didn't dare to attack with all his strength, and our whole army was able to break through safely. But it was agreed that he would return the man tomorrow. ”
"I understand, then he can be unscrupulous, I'm afraid there will be a vicious fight?"
"My sister guessed it again." Li Dan nodded and praised, Wu Ning'er was a little shy, and listened to him continue:
"Even if he doesn't want to do it, I'm afraid it will be difficult to hold down his subordinates. Tomorrow and the next two days will be difficult to walk. He looked at Wu Ning'er's eyes, hesitated, and said, "I'm going to let the prince and the brigade act separately." ”
"What, separate actions?" Wu Ning'er was taken aback.
"If the prince goes with us, I'm worried about safety, and I'll be distracted when commanding the battle." Li Dan said and looked at Wu Ning'er, and only then did he realize that this girl was quite good-looking.
Wu Ning'er is not that gorgeous and coquettish, and there is naturally a kind of delicacy between her eyebrows and eyes. The small facial features and curved eyebrows have a different sense of concave and convex from the Han people in the moonlight, which made Li Dan a little stunned for an instant.
I had fifty years of life experience in my previous life, but I didn't seem to have seen such a girl.
He suddenly understood that even if the king of the county taught him the customs, songs and dances, and musical instruments of the Han people, what could not be changed was the innate Miao blood of her blood. Her charm for King Fengning may stem from this.
"Saburo, Saburo!"
"Huh?" Li Dan suddenly woke up, and immediately his face burned.
Wu Ning'er couldn't help laughing, and with a little shyness: "What you just said is that you will be distracted ...... when you fight." The slave realized! ”
"Uh, no, no, that's not what I meant." Li Dan was taken aback by her boldness, and hurriedly waved his hand: "I, I'm afraid that the son of the world will be discovered by them and become a target, then it will be a big trouble!" ”
"So......, what is Alang's plan?" Wu Ning'er was very interested and did not continue to investigate.
Li Dan walked around twice in an old-fashioned manner with his hands behind his back, returned to her, took out a map from his arms, and said, "Is there a fire candle in the tent?" Please come in sister and I'll tell you in detail. ”
Wu Ning'er was a little embarrassed, hesitated a little and made a gesture to please, and the two of them went in together.
After a long time in the dark, he heard Wu Ning'er's voice tremble, and said, "Ah Lang can stay here tonight?" Well, you wait, I'll go find the candle. Then there was another burst of sojoking, and the flame maker lit the candle.
Li Dan turned his head to see that there was a folded wooden bed on one side, covered with thatch cut by the soldiers and bedding taken out of the cart.
Li Dan said with a smile: "I have to talk to Chen Sanlang when I go back, this bed still looks thin, and it is okay to lie flat on one person, and I am afraid that I will fall down after a little toss." Wu Ning'er blushed with shame, but fortunately she couldn't see clearly in the tent.
She reached out and hammered Li Dan on the back, then took the candlestick with one hand, and pulled Li Dan to sit down on the edge of the bed, and the bed rang, Wu Ning'er jumped up and knelt on the edge of the bed to listen to him.
Placing the map on the bed, Li Dan tilted his body and pointed: "Sister, please look, our original plan was to take this road." I mean, tomorrow we will pave the way apart, and you will take the northern route instead.
That road is farther but easier to walk, and there are many more people than here, although the southern line is close, it is a mountain road, and it is necessary to arrange a battle, two miles and one calculation, and the time for us to go to the foot of Zhuye Mountain should be the same. He straightened up:
"Tomorrow, I will arrange for Fourth Brother Pei to lead a team of reconnaissance, guards, and engineering, plus the original spear cavalry, and you will quietly separate from the brigade first. Just in case, I will send a team of people to take a detour to the tea garden ridge to meet you. ”
"Why don't we let them follow us in the first place, and take the side road instead?"
"Because we can't let them notice that hundreds of people have suddenly left, and then they will suspect that there are important people among you." Li Dan explains:
"I must find another opportunity to let those people leave after attracting the main force of the enemy to follow, so as not to attract too much attention from the team on the northern front, and at the same time protect your safety." Seeing that she was silent, she hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?" ”
"Nothing." Wu Ning'er shook her head: "It's just that I think of leaving San Lang, and I feel reluctant." ”
Li Dan's heart was warm, in addition to his aunt and A-Ying, there seemed to be another woman in this world who remembered herself. He left the bedside, knelt on one leg, spread his arms and whispered, "Come!" Ning'er entered his arms with a burst of fragrance.
"Don't worry, don't be afraid!" Li Dan patted her on the shoulder gently: "Since the prince let you follow me, then I will definitely not let you live that kind of duckweed-like life again!" ”
The candle flame was blown out again.
After a while, Li Dan came out of the tent. He looked up at the moon in the sky, and the moonlight was hazy, like the enchanted eyes of a woman, and a cloud was passing over it, like a lowered eyelid.
The boots stepped on the soft turf, as if they were moaning shallowly, Li Dan walked briskly, he had to gather people overnight to arrange this very important thing for tomorrow.
Quietly in the tent. Wu Ning'er curled up in the quilt and didn't move, for fear that the corners of the quilt he had tucked for himself when he left would mess up. Thinking back to what had just happened, she couldn't help but smile.
This young gentleman, a year younger than himself, speaks and acts like an adult. No, he's more mature than an adult!
Thinking of him hugging himself, looking at his eyes, and stroking ......his hands, Wu Ning'er couldn't help but compare him with Zhao Zhen, and found that the prince who could only whisper love words in his ear seemed so clumsy, he didn't even seem to think about whether people liked or disliked.
Li Saburo was also a little clumsy, but it could be seen that it was due to nervousness and caution, and once he broke this layer of window paper, he immediately showed his cuteness.
Huh! It's a pity that tomorrow we will be separated again. Although San Lang said that it would only be three or five days at most, Wu Ning'er would still be worried, a worry that she couldn't say.
I hope that the lover is okay and can meet again as soon as possible, and then he will find a good moon night to continue tonight's story.
Some people died, but not completely......
