Chapter 64, Escape
In a deep mountain on the edge of the Ruian Plain, Yang Luhai and a group of soldiers rested here in embarrassment, fortunately, the wild fruits in the forest were abundant, otherwise several people would have starved to death here.
"Lord Yang......" An Shanzhong arranged for a henchman who protected Yang Luhai to come forward with some wild fruits: "My lord, take care of your body." ”
Yang Luhai's original green shirt is now full of blood, he has studied the agency since he was a child, where does he have time to practice martial arts, so he tried his best to escape for his life, and used a crossbow to kill several people to survive.
Yang Luhai, who was numb, took the wild fruit, and the figures who were paralyzed to the ground after being shot by his crossbow arrows suddenly appeared in his mind, and he suddenly felt nauseous, and ran to the forest to vomit.
"Your Excellency. The henchman waited for a while, and when he saw Yang Luhai, he wiped his mouth and walked back, also shouting worriedly.
Yang Luhai waved his hand, his face was still numb, and he continued to sit on the ground to rest, but he didn't touch the fruit.
"My lord, don't you want to avenge Commander An?" the henchman couldn't help but ask loudly when he saw that Yang Luhai was like a piece of wood.
Yang Luhai turned his head and looked at the henchman blankly.
"Take care of your body, so that you can go back alive to avenge Commander An, Lord Yang!" the henchman said in a hateful voice.
"Revenge?" Yang Luhai muttered and repeated: "Yes, I want revenge, I want to avenge An Shan." ”
The figures of Lin Zheng and Yan Liang resurfaced in Yang Luhai's mind, and Yang Luhai would never forget that deep imprint for the rest of his life.
"Eat, sir. The henchman handed the fruit to Yang Luhai.
Yang Luhai didn't care about thirty-seven twenty-one, he grabbed it and stuffed it into his mouth, and ate seven or eight Yang Luhai in a row before wiping his mouth.
"Tell me what's going on now. Yang Luhai looked at the ragged soldiers behind him and asked.
The henchman nodded, and when he saw Yang Luhai refreshed, he was overjoyed and said: "Now that Ruicheng has been breached, I am afraid that it will be difficult to resist even three big merchant cities, although this place is remote, it is difficult to ensure that after the Zhou soldiers occupy Hengshan Pass, they will not send troops to patrol the entire Ruian Plain, if we want to be safe, I am afraid we will have to go back to the second pass and Luoyan Pass." ”
Hearing this, Yang Luhai nodded: "Everyone eat well and rest well, and at night we will take advantage of tomorrow night to fall back to Yanguan." ”
"Feed the horses, let's move tomorrow night!" the henchman commanded as he unmounted his armor and moved his muscles and bones.
All the soldiers took off their armor and gathered around the bonfire, and the atmosphere was a lot more relaxed for a while.
The sound of a tree branch being trampled pierced everyone's nerves, and everyone immediately bounced up from the ground, grabbed their weapons, and looked in the direction of the source of the sound.
"Stand up!" shouted the henchman with a repeater in hand.
"Don't shoot arrows! it's me, Detective Sun Qi!" the man shouted as he stood up from behind the tree, and some of the people in the crowd who belonged to the same battalion immediately recognized him and stepped forward to pull Sun Qi over.
"It's us. When the man had finished speaking, the crowd was relieved.
Sun Qi wanted to cry and look at everyone without tears at this time, he finally avoided all the eyes of the Chu State, he wanted to avoid the fate of returning to the army again, but he didn't want to bump into Yang Luhai who was betrayed by himself here!
"I'll go, Sun Qi, are you still alive?" Seeing that there were still people alive, everyone gathered around Sun Qi, who asked me a word and a word, was sweating profusely, for fear that he would expose his flaws and make people guess that he had betrayed Hengshan Pass.
"Sun Qi, weren't you sent out, why are you here?" the man who belonged to the same battalion as Sun Qi asked as he handed over the fruit.
"Don't mention it, I was sent by Commander An to the Zhou Dynasty barracks to find out, but as soon as I got over, I was discovered by a patrol team, and they forced me all the way to this side, and I finally got rid of them. Sun Qi was lying while secretly sighing in his heart that his life was miserable, and he was planning to go back and take his family to the Zhou Dynasty to live a good life, but he was bumped into by the Chu army.
There is absolutely no way to escape the fate of being co-opted again, Sun Qi is full of bitterness and has nowhere to tell.
"It's okay, the team is only ten people at most, and we have a hundred or so people here, don't be afraid. The man patted Sun Qi on the shoulder: "Lord Yang, Sun Qi is a particularly good spy in our battalion, and he has repeatedly made miraculous contributions to us, and now that Hengshan Pass is gone, let's take him in." ”
Yang Luhai looked back at Sun Qi and nodded in agreement.
"Then it's another battalion brother!" the man grabbed Sun Qi's shoulders, not noticing Sun Qi's bitter face and laughing.
In Ruicheng, Lin Zheng left 50,000 infantry to guard Hengshan Pass, and he led the rest of the army to Ruicheng, so that he did not have to worry about the other party outflanking him, nor was he afraid that the other party would take advantage of the emptiness of Hengshan Pass to recapture it and then surround himself.
"There are big merchant cities on the three main roads behind Ruicheng, which is the favorite city of Chu businessmen, and now the other party must not have time to evacuate, there must be a lot of oil and water. Li Zhengzhi stood in the newly built tent and looked at Lin Zheng excitedly.
"My lord, I don't ask for a reward for breaking Hengshan Pass this time, I just ask you to let me fight these cities......" Li Zhengzhi didn't care about Qian Weimin and Yan Liang's eyes, and said directly.
"It's not impossible to let you fight...... Lin Zheng touched his chin and looked at Li Zhengzhi with a smile: "Our military salary is not sufficient, I originally planned to replenish it in these cities." ”
"The subordinates are measured! There is measure!" Li Zhengzhi knew that there was a drama when he heard it, and immediately said.
Lin Zheng saw Li Zhengzhi's appearance, and his smile was even worse: "Measured?"
"Don't worry, my lord, there is a ring ruler hanging in the account of my subordinates all the year round, and my subordinates know best!" Li Zhengzhi said with a swear.
"Then you can pick one of these three cities. Lin Zheng drew the map off the table to Li Zhengzhi.
"Hey, hey. Li Zheng had a smile on his face: "I'll choose the Yanqian City that is closest to Luoyanguan." ”
"You're going to pick. Lin Zheng smiled and shook his head, this Yanqian City is the closest to Luoyanguan, if the other two cities want to evacuate, they will inevitably choose to take the road through Yanqian City, the oil and water in this is not comparable to the other two cities.
"Your Excellency praised it. Li Zhengzhi smiled and said: "50,000 light cavalry, my subordinates will definitely take Yanqian City for you." ”
"Go ahead. Lin Zheng waved his hand, watched Li Zhengzhi walk out, and then looked at Qian Weimin and Yan Liang.
"Commander Qian, you can choose one too. Lin Zheng said.
Qian Weimin stepped forward and picked up the map.
"Your subordinates will choose Tai'an City. "Qian Weimin only wants a city on the map that is not close to Ruicheng.
"How many troops?" Lin Zheng asked.
"Fifty thousand heavy cavalry. Qian Weimin said.
"Yes! Let's lead the troops. Lin Zheng smiled and waved his hand, in fact, it doesn't matter how many troops you want, these cities are probably preparing how to evacuate, and there won't be many defensive forces at all.
"There's only one city left. Lin Zheng looked at Yan Liang and Shen Yueting.
"Come down. Yan Liang stepped forward and took the map, and said after determining the location of the city.
Lin Zheng nodded: "I am most at ease with your work." ”
Yan Liang nodded, ready to ask Shen Yueting to go together.
"Shen Yueting stays, I have some things for him to do. Lin Zheng interrupted Yan Liang by speaking.
Yan Liang turned his head and raised his eyebrows to look at Lin Zheng, and then patted Shen Yueting on the shoulder, a smile flashed in his eyes.
Shen Yueting couldn't help but feel happy in his heart when he saw that the pavilion master finally used himself again, and all he thought in his heart was that he had to complete the task no matter what, and he looked a little nervous when he was sitting in a precarious position.
"Relax, it's not that hard, it doesn't require any determination. Lin Zheng said helplessly.
Shen Yueting smiled awkwardly, and his aura immediately softened.
"Do you know the origin of Li Zhengzhi's command?" Lin Zheng asked Shen Yueting.
"I don't know, but I heard that it's from Wuzhou. Shen Yueting also heard rumors in the army, so he was not sure.
"People from Wuzhou?" Lin Zheng frowned, now that Wuzhou is controlled by Wudang Mountain, even the Laifu Restaurant established in Wuzhou has been destroyed by Wudang Mountain.
That's not easy......
"Do you want me to investigate the origin of Commander Li?" asked Shen Yueting.
Lin Zheng nodded: "I always feel that this person is not normal, he seems to be a little paranoid about gold and silver treasures, and I am worried that it will affect him to lead troops in the future." ”
"The subordinates are willing to go to Wuzhou to inquire about the situation. Shen Yueting knelt down on one knee and pleaded.
"It's a bit dangerous, so don't go. Lin Zheng shook his head and dispelled the idea of investigating Li Zhengzhi.
"Pavilion master, subordinates can investigate and come back safely, please give subordinates this chance to prove themselves. Shen Yueting knelt down and didn't speak.
"You've proven yourself, I'm protecting the important talents of the Heavenly Master Pavilion right now. Lin Zheng stood up and said.
"Pavilion Master?" Shen Yueting heard this, and his heart was immediately moved.
"Wuzhou, don't go, go and fight Jin Fucheng with Yan Liang. Lin Zheng waved his hand, as if he was blasting Shen Yueting away.
"The subordinates receive the order. Shen Yueting nodded and got up.
"Don't let me know that you secretly went to Wuzhou to investigate, and don't do that impulsive thing again. Lin Zheng reminded later.
"The subordinates won't. Shen Yueting nodded with satisfaction after hearing Lin Zheng's remarks.
Unconsciously, at night, Lin Zheng counted everything in Rui City, came to the city bored, and looked at the endless plain for a while.
Suddenly, a white dot of light suddenly strung up on the edge of the plain, which was extremely striking in the night.
Someone immediately led the army to reinforcements at Lin Zheng's feet, was it a request for reinforcements?
Presumably a spy discovered the remnants of the Chu Army, Lin Zheng thought.
Suddenly, Lin Zheng remembered a character who might cause trouble for him in the future.
Could it be Yang Luhai's people?
Lin Zheng immediately jumped off the city, and sent more people to the signal flare reinforcements, but he did not follow out, after all, the three commanders were all sent, and now Ruicheng only has his own commander in charge, which is really not suitable to go out to participate in the war.
In the night, Yang Luhai and others were riding horses, and suddenly saw a white light rising into the sky, and there was a figure on the ground looking at him.
"Exposed!"
