Qingluan was disheveled and stumbled out of the City Lord's Mansion.

Although Li Changzheng was brutal, he kept his promise and released her.

She staggered as she walked, suffering excruciating pain with every step, like a walking corpse. If she still had a trace of illusion about Zhao Lanjiang before, after today, she completely cut off this thought, and at this moment she had only one purpose in her heart, that is, to inform Zhao Lanjiang and tell him about the changes that happened in the Ghost Fan Tower, as well as Li Changzheng's scheme.

This is the reason why she would rather be humiliated than come out alive.

"Miss Qingluan!"

Qingluan turned around and saw Chai Gongwang following out of the City Lord's Mansion. She glanced at him with some disgust, this man was like grass on the wall, as soon as Li Changzheng took power, Chai Gongwang changed his court and voted under his door and became Li Changzheng's lackey.

"Traitor!"

Qingluan smacked him and said coldly.

Chai Gongwang was stunned when he heard this, but he didn't defend himself, he took out a piece of ingots from his arms, which was as much as ten taels. "Take this money first and find a place to live. ”

Qingluan said, "It's not rare to have your stinky money!"

Chai Gongwang sighed, "I also have my own difficulties. ”

"What do you have to do with me? I'm not interested, I hope that in the future, the city lord of Zhao will kill back in the city and cut off your head with a knife!"

Chai Gongwang froze in place, and said after a long time, "Now that there is a rumor in the city, if you have something, you can go to the grocery store in the east of the city to find Shopkeeper Xu." Maybe he can help. ”

The shopkeeper of the grocery store Xu Yang Xu was the leader of the spy network left by Yuwen Tianlu in the city, and later followed Zhao Lanjiang, who was one of the few people Zhao Lanjiang trusted the most. If he can be found, he may be able to pass the news to Zhao Lanjiang.

Chai Gong saw that she hated herself to the core, put the ingots in front of Qingluan, and turned to leave.

Qingluan stared at the ingots, the most important thing now is to live, without money, it is difficult to move an inch here.

She bent down and was about to pick up the ingots.

Suddenly, a figure flashed, and someone was one step faster than her and snatched the ingots in his hand. This person was oily, looking like a hanger, he should be a scoundrel in the city, he put the ingots in his mouth and took a bite, his face was full of joy, "It's true." ”

Qingluan said, "This money is mine." ”

Splash said, "It's obviously on the ground, whoever picks it up first is who's it, why do you say it's yours?"

Qingluan said again, "Someone else gave it to me." ”

Splash laughed, "You said it was yours, did you have your name written on it?"

Qingluan was annoyed and reached out to grab it, but was kicked to the ground by a splash of skin, her head was trampled on, and she rubbed it on the ground a few times, and blood flowed out of the corner of her mouth.

She has suffered a lot of insults from Li Changzheng today, and now she is humiliated by a splash.

If it had been before, Qingluan would have killed Splash with a sword.

But now she can't do anything.

Li Lingcai cultivated her, and in prison, he had already used Sangong powder to disperse her internal force and destroy her with his own hands. After the violent beating, he lost his patience, and because he was in front of the city lord's mansion, he was afraid of causing unnecessary trouble, so he scolded and left the long street.

Qingluan was covered in blood and messy hair, and came to the grocery store in the east of the city.

Bang bang, stepped forward and slammed the door three times.

I only felt that the world was spinning, and I passed out.

When she woke up, she found herself lying on a bed, with a clean change of clothes, and the shopkeeper Xu sat next to her and said, "Miss Qingluan is awake?"

"Where am I?"

"You fainted at the door of the grocery store, I asked someone to carry you into the house, and I found Wen Po to help you treat the wound, you are too bad, don't move yet. ”

Midwife?

Qingluan's face turned red, it was obvious that Shopkeeper Xu knew what happened to her, she felt ashamed, and Shopkeeper Xu avoided the topic very interestingly.

Qingluan Road, "Li Changzheng......"

Shopkeeper Xu said, "You can recuperate with peace of mind first, and don't worry about other things for the time being." ”

"City Lord Zhao is outside!"

Shopkeeper Xu said, "I know, and it won't be long before I recapture Hidden Yang City." ”

There was a sharp pain in Qingluan's lower abdomen, and beads of sweat flowed down his forehead, "Find a way to tell him, don't enter the city, don't ...... Enter the city, don't enter the city!" she said three times in a row.

"Why?"

Qingluan said, "There is a secret in the Hidden Sun Great Array, under this city, there is a mysterious force that is controlled by Li Changzheng, if the city lord of Zhao enters the city, I am afraid that he will fall into Li Changzheng's trap!"

With that, she breathed a sigh of relief.

A wave of fatigue hit, and Qingluan passed out again.

……

Under the pressure of the City Lord's Mansion, Huang Ruwolf increased the liquidation of the rebels. However, for several days, the scouts sent out did not return to one or two, which made him thunderous.

Obviously, there were less than 200 people on the other side, but he was still powerless, which left him with the impression of ineffective work in Li Changzheng's eyes.

In the end, Li Changzheng simply ordered that within three days, if he could not take down the rebels, he would bring his head to see him. When Huang Ruwolf was at a loss, the scout in front came to report and found the camp of the rebels. Huang Ruwolf was overjoyed when he heard this, mobilized 2,000 soldiers and horses, and slaughtered Sifeng Mountain.

Sifeng Mountain is located in the deep mountains and old forests, for many years of long-term struggle with the government, the hidden place is also very secret, if there is no acquaintance guide, into the mountains and forests, it is easy to get lost. Fortunately, everywhere they went, they used vermilion lacquer to leave marks in the woods, and even if they couldn't attack Sifeng Mountain, they could return the same way.

Coming to the so-called camp, Huang Ruwolf was completely disappointed.

There were only traces of the twenty stoves that had been lit by fire, and the rebels were long gone. Touching the dust on the ground with his hand, there was still residual warmth, so he immediately made a decision and traced forward along the broken branches of the tree.

Fortunately, Huang Ruwolf has experienced a hundred battles and ordered the team to maintain formation, once attacked, he can quickly fall into a defensive position and organize a counterattack, but whenever he encounters a place that is easy to ambush, such as a valley and a dense forest, he will first release scouts and confirm that it is safe to march on the march. And the route is mostly along streams and tree-lined paths, so as not to give the other party a chance to sneak attack.

"There's movement!"

Everyone could see that among the bushes not far away, branches shook violently.

Huang Ruwolf immediately decided, "Release the arrow!"

A volley of arrows was fired, and there was no movement.

Everyone stepped forward to investigate, and they all cheered.

Two brown bears were shot into hedgehogs by the wolf cavalry's random arrows.

Huang Ruwolf said, "What are you shouting, we are here to suppress bandits, not to hunt." ”

Rao was like this, and everyone still stepped forward and cut the two brown bears with machetes, and it happened to be noon, and it was regarded as a full lunch.

At the end of the day, nothing was found.

The sky will be black, yellow as a wolf ready to return to the White Horse Station.

They followed the original mark and returned, and after nearly an hour of circumambulation, there was still no end in sight to the mountain forest, which could have been walked out in half an hour. When they found that the vermilion lacquer on the tree had been tampered with, they had been lost in the mountains and forests.

Huang Ruwolf ordered: "Set up camp along the stream, divide five squads to patrol outside the camp, send scouts to investigate everywhere, and if there is any movement, immediately warn!"

Strengthen vigilance to prevent the other side from sneaking up. Along the creek, if the opponent is attacked, you can quickly draw water to extinguish the fire.

In terms of marching scheduling, Huang Ruwolf is also a veteran.

Fortunately, before leaving, the wolf cavalry brought three days' rations, and as long as they found the rebels within three days, they still had a chance.

Just as everyone was about to make a fire to cook, they suddenly heard a young man shouting, "Weasel!"

Everyone looked, a hundred paces away, a young general, holding a long knife, and a large flag with the word "Zhao" written on it.

Before Huang Ruwolf came to the camp, he recognized this person as Li Bufan, the captain of the city gate.

Li Bufan was alone and single-handed, shouting in front of the camp: "Weasel, do you dare to come out and fight with Li?"

Seeing that he was alone, Huang Ruwolf looked around full of suspicion, signaled the scout to find out the news, and reported after a long time, but there was no ambush.

Li Bufan said again, "Huang is like a wolf, is it difficult to hide inside as a turtle with a shrunken head?"

The more this is the case, the more suspicious Huang Ruwolf becomes, and he gives an order

"Shoot the arrow!"

A row of arrows shot out and fell towards the place where Li Bufan landed.

In archery on the plains, they have an advantage, but there are mostly boulder forests here, and there are not many that really fall in front of Li Bufan.

Huang Ruwolf didn't go to the battle, but Li Bufan scolded more happily, which made Huang Ruwolf very angry.

He originally looked down on this newly rising city gate official, thinking that this kid was just lucky, good at patting Zhao Bajiang's fart, so he had today's status, he was the commander of the wolf cavalry army, and when he saw him on weekdays, he didn't bird him at all, but now he rode on top of his head and scolded his mother.

"The courage of the wolf cavalry is really getting smaller and smaller. Li Bufan said, "Lao Tzu is alone, and he will scare you like a turtle with a shrunken head, and it will be spread out in the future, I don't know what Li Changzheng will think!"

Huang Ruwolf was furious, turned over on his horse, held a mace, and pointed at Li Bufan, "Take your life!"

After that, as soon as the horse's belly was clamped, the war horse was in pain, and accelerated towards Li Bufan.

Li Bufan was not afraid of fighting, whipped the horse, and rode the horse to rush over Huang Ruwolf.

The two staggered.

Bang!

The mace hits the long knife.

Li Bufan's internal strength is a cut worse than that of Huang Ruwolf, and the acceleration of the war horse is not as good as that of the other party. He rolled over with a harrier, returned to his horse, turned and fled. Huang Ruwolf was afraid of deception, so he did not order the pursuit.

"Keep sending scouts to track down the rebels!"

……

A few miles away, Li Bufan returned to the army.

Huang Ruwolf is worthy of being one of the four commanders, the stick just now made him almost not vomit blood, but fortunately, now his cultivation is not as good as at the beginning, although this move did not win, the defeat is not ugly.

Yejiro said, "What do you feel?"

Li Bufan said, "Even if it's not a half-step general image, at least it's the upper realm of Xuanxuan." ”

"Is there any way to break the enemy?"

Ye Erlang taught Li Bufan the experience in the army, not cramming him to reason, but using enlightening questions to guide Li Bufan to find countermeasures. Li Bufan thought for a while and said, "The enemy's advantage is that there are many people, the main general is full of combat power, and the march is cautious, refusing to disrupt the formation. Our advantage is in the shadows, with fewer people and flexibility. If you are fighting head-on, you can't take advantage of it, so you can use the method of exhausting soldiers. ”

"The way to exhaust soldiers?"

Li Bufan said, "Since I know where they are staying, tonight I will lead the brothers to continue to come forward and harass them, the enemy advances and I retreat, and the enemy retreats and I advance, so that they will not be able to sleep well." ”

Throughout the night, Li Bufan either single-handedly or led his soldiers to call for battle, and once the other party met the enemy, they quickly fled with the convenience of war horses. Although Huang Ruwolf knew that the other party was deliberately doing this, this was a scheme, even if he knew, he was helpless, and he was harassed by the rebels overnight. They didn't dare to rest, for fear that the other party would really come to sneak attack, and in the end, in desperation, they had to let the two thousand soldiers and horses divide into three groups to guard and take turns to rest.

Overnight, although the results were there, they were not significant.

With 200 soldiers and horses, 100 bows, and more than 1,000 arrows, it is not easy to annihilate the wolf cavalry of 2,000 people. Moreover, arrows are consumables, once shot, there are few people who can recover them, and there is basically no chance of victory in frontal combat. Li Bufan thought about it all night, but there was no reason.

Although he has the guidance of Ye Erlang, he lacks experience in leading troops after all, while Huang Ruwolf is a battle-hardened commander, and the gap between the two is not ordinarily large.

The other side is moving along the river.

Sneak attack? The other party's defensive momentum is solid, and he is not given a chance at all.

Tired soldiers? There are many people on the other side, and they take turns to rest, and this trick is not very effective.

Ambush? The other side does not go to places that are easy to ambush.

Li Bufan was at a loss and went to ask Ye Erlang, but Ye Erlang didn't answer him, pointed to his head, and asked him to use his brain, "They are lost, but they are not stupid." ”

Li Bufan suddenly had a plan in his mind, and said: "Everyone obeys the order, quit Sifeng Mountain, and recapture the White Horse Station!"

Half a day later, Li Bufan led 200 soldiers and horses, rushed into the White Horse Station, because most of the wolf cavalry army entered the deep mountains and old forests, the White Horse Station was not well guarded, and did not expect the other party to suddenly turn around, did not encounter too much resistance, and controlled the White Horse Station.

Next, it's a matter of waiting.

Scouts who follow the Wolf Cavalry are constantly reporting news of their enemies.

One day, two days.

The wolf cavalry lost its target and traveled through the mountains like headless flies.

3rd, 4th.

The wolf cavalry found the den of Sifeng Mountain, but pounced.

Five, sixth.

The wolf cavalry ran out of rations, hunted in the woods and began to kill horses for a living.

On the seventh day, after the deadline set by Li Changzheng, the wolf cavalry finally found a way to retreat and prepared to return to the White Horse Station.

Li Bufan decisively ordered to ambush the wolf cavalry at the exit of the mountain forest.

First, the wolf cavalry soldiers were sleepy and lacking, and their spirit was extremely poor. Second, they are about to return to the White Horse Station, and they have also relaxed their vigilance, and most people's thoughts are to return to the camp, feast, and rest. Thirdly, to the east of the White Horse Station, the terrain is on the high side, which is an excellent place for ambushes.

At noon, a light rain began to fall in the sky.

The 200 rebel army, divided into three routes, with 50 crossbowmen on the left and right sides, and 100 cavalry on the front, waiting for the wolf cavalry to enter.

The moment they walked out of the woods, the wolf cavalry cheered, and in the past few days, nothing had been found, making the people sleepy and tired, and the hunger for several days had almost made them almost collapse, and the heavy rain from the sky had made the wolf cavalry extremely embarrassed. Little did they know that 200 rebels, like the impermanence of life, were waiting for them to enter the attack.

Three hundred steps, two hundred steps.

The wolf cavalry, throwing away their armor, dragged their tired bodies in the direction of the White Horse Post.

One hundred steps.

The three hundred wolf cavalry who were at the forefront had already entered the firing range.

Everyone's palms were sweaty, mixed with the rain.

Li Bufan did not give the order to attack.

He's waiting, waiting for most people to come into attack.

Once they realize that something is wrong and retreat into the mountains and forests, they will lose all their efforts.

Almost a thousand people came into range.

Li Bufan gave the order, and the three orders were unfurled, and the attack order was issued.

More than 100 bows and arrows fell from the sky.

In an instant, dozens of people were shot by arrows and fell to the ground.

"There's an ambush!"

As he spoke, a second round of bows and arrows came.

Seeing this, Huang Ruwolf even ordered, "Return to the mountains and forests!"

The drums beat loudly.

Someone on both sides shouted, "City Lord Zhao has recaptured Hidden Yang City!"

The wolf cavalry, which was originally demoralized, was trapped in the mountains and forests for six or seven days, and after several rounds of arrow rain, they were frightened and frightened. They lost contact with the outside world, and when they heard the news, they believed it to be true, instantly lost their fighting spirit, and did not even have the idea of resisting, and began to flee in all directions.

Huang Ruwolf saw that the rain of arrows from the rebels was scarce, and he had already guessed that the other party was deceitful, and shouted, "Hugh has to believe in the lies, set up a bucket formation, and meet the enemy!"

However, the army's morale was already in turmoil, and the wolf cavalry did not listen to him at all. Huang Ruwolf killed three or four retreating people in a row, but he still couldn't recover the decline.

The wolf cavalry was in a panic, the people in front retreated, and the people behind didn't know why, and in the chaos, a stampede occurred.

After twelve rounds of arrow rain, at the exit of the mountain forest, there were nearly seven or eight hundred corpses, half of which were killed by their own people in the chaos.

Bows and arrows will run out.

Li Bufan gave another order, and the hundred cavalry, who had already hidden behind the hillside, brandished their long knives, rode their horses and galloped, and rushed towards the wolf cavalry.

After the horse increased its speed, the cavalry took advantage of the speed to bring the slashing method of the long knife to the extreme.

After one round of impact, nearly two hundred more people were killed.

The wolf cavalry was completely disorganized, and they did not even have the strength to resist, and fled in all directions.

The crossbowmen of the night family on both sides, using precision archery, shot those who fled, and those who could not escape abandoned their weapons and surrendered.

Yellow as a wolf, with a face like ashes.

After going around the mountains for a few days, he was already very annoyed, but when he was about to return, he was caught off guard by Li Bufan's men and horses. More let

What he couldn't stand was that the enemy's general turned out to be a hairy boy in his twenties who didn't even look at him on weekdays.

The tide is over!

If you don't slip now, when will you wait?

Thirty-six plans, go for the upper plan.

Stay in the green mountains, don't worry about no firewood.

Huang Ruwolf took off his robe, took advantage of the chaos, and rode his horse towards the jungle.

Bang!

Someone waved a stick, he couldn't dodge, he was hit on the back, fell off the horse, and on closer inspection, it was a wolf cavalry who took the opportunity to sneak attack and rob his horse, he was furious, and the mace was thrown, hitting the head of the subordinate, and the wolf cavalry burst his brain on the spot and died on the horse.

But the war horse did not stop at all, and fled into the mountains and forests.

Huang Ruwolf lost his horse, although he was annoyed, he did not hesitate at all, and took advantage of the rain to escape into the woods.

The rain was getting heavier and heavier, and visibility was extremely low in the woods.

He ran lifelessly, and I don't know how long later, he saw a pond, at this moment he was exhausted, threw himself down by the pool, gulped water, hunger, dizziness, and dazzled, so that he almost collapsed, but a strong desire to survive, warned himself that he could not sleep.

There was a frog crawling in front of his eyes.

Huang Ruwolf took out a dagger, killed the frog at once, and did not make a fire, but directly ate it raw.

After a few moments, he finally regained his strength.

It's all over.

There is no going back to Hidden Yang City.

But there is still a life, and there is a chance to make a comeback.

He was originally self-made, but now he is back to the starting point, he believes that as long as he slows down, he will pull out a team, even if he can't be a general, he can become a tyrant on the dominant side.

While he was comforting himself, he heard the footsteps of horses.

It's light, but it can't escape his eyes.

Raising his head, a young general, riding his horse not far away, his eyes like poisonous snakes, stared at him coldly.

His eyes were full of hatred.

Li Bufan.

Huang Ruwolf suddenly returned from fantasy to reality.

He panicked.

"You can't kill me. ”

Li Bufan was silent.

Huang Ruwolf hurriedly said, "I have two thousand taels of gold, as long as you spare my life, these are all yours." ”

Li Bufan was still silent.

With his feet between the horse's belly, he began to urge the horse.

Huang Ruwolf said again, "I still know a secret of Zhao Lanjiang!"

The horses are getting faster and faster, from trotting to flying with all four hooves.

"His secret is ......"

The knife flashed.

The head falls to the ground.

Huang Ruwolf's body stood straight in the distance, and a breeze blew, and he lay on the ground.

Heads rolled in the mud, blood mixed with mud and dirty.

Li Bufan didn't say a word, stabbed out with a long knife, put Huang Ruwolf's head on the knife, and slowly walked towards the white horse post.

The war is over.

Someone was hand-picking the corpses, and of the two thousand wolf cavalry, 1,100 were killed, 600 surrendered, and the remaining 300 fled into the mountains and forests, and disappeared. Of the 200 men and horses of the rebel army, only 11 were killed and more than 30 were wounded, which can be described as a great victory without suspense.

In this victory, Ye Erlang saw from beginning to end that he had not come up with a plan, everything was planned by Li Bufan alone.

This is what Zhao Lanjiang meant.

If you want to take on great responsibilities, you have to go through the trials of life and death.

When Li Bufan's war horse appeared in everyone's sight, everyone cheered and shouted Li Bufan's name.

Li Bufan was not excited.

Before he came to the open space outside the White Horse Station, he stuck the hilt of his knife with the head as yellow as a wolf into the dirt.

……

Gourd mouth.

Su Zhengyuan was in the general's mansion, lying on the easy chair mountain, tasting grape wine.

After the collapse of the Western Army, the 100,000 garrisons in Hulukou became the only organized force in Western Xinjiang, and there was no one to govern it. Fortunately, they are the tuntian system, and they control the Western Chu trade route, in this kind of place where the emperor has "nothing", life is extremely leisurely.

And in the past few months, the King of Shu and the King of Yu have sent valuable gifts, wanting Su Zhengyuan to lead the army to Shun, at least nominally Shun, with Su Zhengyuan's temperament, how could he agree so easily, and constantly asked the two princes' envoys, today to the King of Shu said that the King of Yu sent a cart of night pearls, and tomorrow to tell the King of Yu that the King of Shu also sent 100,000 taels of silver.

This first-class general who has accumulated wealth eats at both ends and eats at both ends, earning a lot of money, and he is so cool that he doesn't want it.

And Li Changzheng, who is only two hundred miles away from him, also posted a post inviting him to Yinyang as a guest.

Su Zhengyuan is not a fool, of course he doesn't go, although he hasn't dealt with him, but the news from Yinyang, the other party is not the master of the alien, and hiding here, Li Changzheng does not dare to come rashly, even if the martial arts are high, he still has 100,000 soldiers and horses, and a number of loyal and brave people, isn't it?

What's more, he still has a worry in his heart, that is, the main owner of Hidden Sun City.

He has seen Zhao Lanjiang's power, since he was in Suzhou, Zhao Lanjiang has been his nightmare, and this nightmare has continued until now.

"General Su!"

Master Yu came to the room and said, "There is a guest who wants to see you." ”

Su Zhengyuan said impatiently, "Didn't you see me drinking?"

He said it was the general's old acquaintance. ”

Su Zhengyuan said, "Lao Yu, are you stupid? General Ben has been here for so long, where do you have any old knowledge? Who came to pretend to be my relative and came to cheat money, right?"

Master Yu was scolded, so he had to retreat, "Okay, I'll go and reject that Mr. Zhao." ”

Su Zhengyuan heard it, "Wait!"

"What does the general command?"

"You said the man's surname was Zhao?"

"Exactly!"

Su Zhengyuan rubbed himself up from the easy chair, his fat body almost didn't stand firm, he put his hand a foot above his head, and gestured, "Is that person so tall?"

"Oh yes!"

"Isn't it a beard, a tiger's back?"

Master Yu smiled and sent a sycophant, "The general is really clever!"

Su Zhengyuan stepped forward and slapped him, "It's a ghost!" He looked around, trying to find a place to hide, and said to Master Yu, "You just said that I just died yesterday, and now I am in the mourning hall, so it is inconvenient to see people." ”

Master Yu said in his heart what kind of words is this, how can he be a majestic general on weekdays, when he heard that this person was coming, he was so afraid to die, and asked tentatively, "General, is it the door of the debt collector?" If it is inconvenient for you to come forward, I will send a few masters to blow him away, and you will not be able to see him and be upset." ”

Su Zhengyuan didn't even scold him for his kung fu, and he happened to see a well in the courtyard, so he didn't think about it, so he jumped into the well.

Burst!

The wellhead is too narrow.

He was too fat.

After the fat body had intimate contact with the wellhead, it was no longer inseparable.

Half of Su Zhengyuan's body was stuck in the well.

Neither is it up nor is it down.

Su Zhengyuan shouted, "Why are you still stunned, quickly find someone to save me!"

As soon as the words came out, he only felt that his whole body was being picked up, and when his feet hit the ground, he secretly turned his head and glanced at the visitor, and he was startled. However, after all, he was a member of the feudal territory, a general in a high position, and quickly adjusted his mentality, Su Zhengyuan slapped his head, turned around, squeezed the fat on his face to the sides, and squeezed out a smile.

"Oh, General Zhao, what kind of wind gave you out?"

Zhao Lanjiang smiled, "I heard that I was coming, and General Su wanted to commit suicide by throwing himself into a well?"

Su Zhengyuan scratched his head, "Where is the general, our well is rich in a kind of fish, the meat is delicious, I heard that the general is coming, am I about to jump in and catch two to give you a taste?"

Zhao Lanjiang said, "That's good, I'm putting you in, there is General Lao Su!"

After saying that, he walked over to Su Zhengyuan.
