Chapter 617: Robbery while the fire is on
In this way, the two armies, each with their own thoughts, headed towards the water in the northwest.
The border land is underdeveloped, there are not many references for populated buildings, and the vast forests and fields seem to be close but are actually far away...... It turned out to be a lakeside.
From the small plateau of Qinglin County to the side of Ban'an County, the terrain is different, and the natural terrain is concave here, forming this medium lake.
Fifty miles of lake surface like a mirror, at this time a gust of wind blows across the lake, the water wave wrinkles reflect the rising sun, showing sparkling waves, a kind of mystery hidden in the bottom of the lake.
With the help of a certain force, the wrinkles of the water waves are gradually expanding in the wind, and gradually the waves are ......
Ye Qing sensed the flow of power in the lake and laughed: "It's time!"
Yu Jiajun
"After crossing Jinyang Lake, tracing a stream for fifty miles to the ancient road mountain pass, Ye Jiajun will not chase the grassland......"
Qi Liang, the counselor of the army, judged, and when he saw that Yu Zi was confused, he explained: "We have passed the secret report of the slaves of the Guò Mur Department, and know the movement of the palace guards in the division of troops...... Since the lord said that Ye Qing's personality seemed to be adventurous and cautious, he would not have crashed into the trap at this time. ”
Yu Fan nodded in recognition of this judgment, and with a slight movement, he couldn't help frowning when he caught a glimpse of the ripples in the lake gradually getting bigger...... It doesn't feel right.
"Boom!"
With a loud bang, a torrent suddenly gushed out of the big lake, several meters high, and flooded a large area of the lakeshore in a dazzling eye, and the people on the side of the river embankment were swept away by the turbid current before they could scream, and they died.
Seeing this, the people who wandered behind ran in unison, and the water had already poured from behind, and those who ran slowly, no longer knowing the nature of the water, were also involved in the river, and still died.
Listen only to the wailing of crying for help.
"What's going on, what's going on?"
Yu Fan and a few sorcerers were shocked, only to see the water rushing, the waves surging high, and in the midst of the fierce evil, they saw a black dragon circling, covering the body, mortals could not see it, and hurriedly told everyone: "Don't panic!"
Another voice was secretly heard: "You are the dragon in the lake, you dare to intercept the army, and you still hurt people?"
"Haha, your Yu family calculated with me back then to take away my Dragon Ball, and now that the catastrophe is coming, people and immortals are confused, and they just came to repay this debt - what is it to kill some people, I can still afford it!"
"And I don't have to kill all of you, I just need to launch a flood and break up your army formation, and the Ye family army behind me, I'm afraid that I may not give you good fruits to eat!"
Yu Fan's face suddenly turned pale, he thought about Ye Jiajun's "gift" to leave the country, it turned out to be this intention, he couldn't help but nodded, and after a while, he sneered: "What do you want?"
"Just give me back the Dragon Balls. The black dragon squinted: "Do you think I'm very magnanimous?"
"The magnanimity of the ghost, I don't dare to push too much, for fear of violating the rules of heaven is true. Yu Fan muttered secretly, but he didn't dare to refuse completely, so he said: "According to people, I only have a little dragon qi now, and I don't have dragon balls." ”
"Hmph, you have the core dragon qi on you, and if you return me, I can only recall the rest of the dragon qi - there is not much time, you say, do you want to return it, or not?"
Being pressed by this, Yu Fan's face was in the dark shadows, and he couldn't tell what kind of face it was, and at this moment, the magician hurriedly came over: "Lord, the enemy army has moved!"
As soon as these words fell, Yu Fan's body sank, and he paused word by word and said: "Okay, I'll pay you back, and we'll write it off in the future!"
Before the words fell, his body shook, a dragon groan, a phantom shadow came out of his body, almost at the same time, several faint shadows came from afar, combined in one place, turned into a dim dragon ball, this black dragon full of joy groan, swallowed in one gulp, by the way, the tail flicked, submerged into the lake, disappeared.
"Boom" a flood rushed out more than ten meters and flooded a section behind, and the scene was suddenly chaotic.
"The enemy is on fire!"
Ye Qing's cavalry pounced, but did not attack the county army, did not attack the baggage cart heavily protected by Yu Fan's cavalry, and only intercepted a section of the water strike.
When Yu Fan saw it, he snorted coldly, there was a small amount of baggage in this section, and many ordinary craftsmen must have been bitten off by Ye Qing again.
The general stepped forward: "Lord, do you want to chase it back?"
"There's no need to chase, let the magician dry the grain and grass, it's all soaked and what to eat at night!" Yu Fan said, his face was very ugly - it was clear that he had already run away, and he fell into Ye Qing's calculations halfway!
Just thinking about it, he saw that Ye Jiajun packed the craftsman and the weaver girl, withdrew into the receiving array and left...... I have to say that in this process, all the craftsmen hit it off and cooperated very well, so that the whole action was smooth and smooth.
"I am the top of the list of Tongjinshi, the imperial court has ordered the county order, where does this dragon grandson usually dare to speak, saying that it is only for personal vendetta, not to communicate with Ye Qing!"
"One grabs the Dragon Ball, the other robs the craftsman, and the deception is too much!"
"Lord, are you all right?" asked Nagasobuko, coming up.
"It's okay, losing the Dragon Balls, my Taoism is a bit declining, but for me, it's an opportunity. ”
"It's not wrong for my parents to work hard, but thinking that Dragon Ball is the real dragon spirit is really a bit of a literary business. ”
"The dragon qi of the county is humane, and although it has some connection with the dragon ball, it is ultimately impure. Yu Fan said comfortingly: "This time I admit it...... But tomorrow is the day of reward, no...... Even when the time comes, I will open the rewards one after another, and my loss can be made up for with heavenly merit!"
"On the contrary, it has made my humanitarian foundation solid!"
This made sense, and Chang Xinzi nodded again and again, but he didn't see Yu Fan's gloomy eyes.
How can there be such a lightweight, this loss at least makes the loss of their own savings a small half, and even low morale is also a problem, just fought a confused battle, knowing that they want to withdraw from Nancang County to a new base, the army's fighting spirit is low, and the loss of property and grain and grass can also arouse the soldiers' fighting spirit, and lose a number of artisan households...... For the soldiers who eat the imperial grain, what is the craftsman?
Yu Fan thought about the current situation, and found that there were hidden murderous intentions everywhere, so he couldn't help but hate, endured this breath, cleaned up the chaotic scene, took the remaining half of the baggage, and decisively led the army to drive away on the grassland, and never stepped into Nancang County again.
"There is still a long way to go, let's see!"
"Let's go back to the county seat too, the whole county is under control, and there is no oil and water to fish. "Arrange some people to control Ban'an County, Ye Qing said instructed.
On the way back from the army, there was no hasty march because there were common people with the army, and it was already dusk when they returned to the county town.
The city was clear for a few days, and the dry wind of the northern desert blew again, which made it look like some sand and dust, but it could not hide the warmth of the atmosphere.
First of all, the morale of the army is high, Ye Qing ordered that the capture of the craftsman household will be included in the battle merits, and it will be shared by the whole army, although it is not much on average, it is an additional benefit, which makes the whole army smile.
Even the craftsmen, weaver girls and their dependents who were intercepted looked at the county town again with joyful expressions, and even grateful--people are cheap when they leave their hometowns, and who wants to leave their hometowns?
Then there is the huge scene of greeting, which can be seen from a distance outside the county town.
"Look, it's really the Shaodu Governor's army is back!"
"This time it's really ...... It's changed. ”
Many children crowded the road, looking forward to it, and there was also a bustle behind them - tens of thousands of soldiers had gathered in the temporary camp outside the county town, and it seemed that there were many people, but at this time, in the face of the new situation of the Shaodu Governor's Mansion in Nancang County, the atmosphere was a little chaotic.
"Twenty princes of the families came to pay their respects, and they said that they had come to fulfill the covenant of the land oath. Ji Caizhu went out and came back.
Ye Qing looked at it, and felt more and more: "Fortunately, I didn't let them participate in the war before, otherwise there might be some chaos, not to mention repelling the state army and Yu Fan, it is possible to defeat it upside down." ”
Therefore, he accepted the courtesy, but did not dismount, only let these gentlemen follow, and discussed in private in the back.
"The brand is getting bigger and bigger......"
"But no, Yu Fan is the county commander of Tongjinshi, and Yu Chengen, the county guard, said that he would be expelled. ”
"The face of the imperial court, the state army has been swallowed up, and the young governor has also borne it, what else do you have to say? Think about it, no one has the heart to go to war anymore at the juncture of this reward......
"Temporary truce, I'm afraid we are all waiting for the Shaodu to enter the lower ground?" someone frowned: "I heard that this is the last time, it involves the innate god position after Yanghua Dongtian, and the battle of the gods will not be won......"
"I'm afraid it's been delayed for a long time, and I'm in trouble now!"
"What about the delay, the young governor is already a green vein, and he is valued by the above, will he be allowed to exploit this big loophole? I heard that no, last time Guangyuanmen couldn't calculate, but was punished by the Dao Discipline Division, and he made a fuss......
Listening to these nonsense remarks, Mo An turned sideways and pouted, "Why are these slippery heads willing to send troops...... It's hard to accept it for the lord. ”
"In the future, there will be a lot of wars, and it can be seen that it will be successful, and unlike your family and Cao Jiang He Lin and other families, the lord knows it in his heart. Ji Caizhu said with a smile on the side, he never believed in any righteousness, but believed that following the lord was the greatest benefit.
These families, who are not stupid enough to come home, also realize at this time, otherwise they will not go long - there are already a large number of active members in the outer counties, and some are substitute quasi-allies.
All the way was lively, the soldiers couldn't help but hold their heads high, and when they arrived at the long pavilion ten miles away, there were even more gongs and drums, and colorful flags were displayed.
"Welcome the triumph of the young governor-" In the middle of the ceremonial officials, there were eight county officials who led the county officials to greet the triumph with ancient rites in the suburbs.
With the exception of Ban'an County and Nancang County, where the county seat is located, the county magistrates did not leave with the county government, and they all came to the celebration banquet with interest—although when they came, it was not clear whether it would be the celebration banquet of the young governor, or the celebration banquet of Yu County, or the celebration banquet of General Qin......
"But it's coming, yes. "Most county orders have this mentality, being an official of the imperial court is also doing, and being an official of the heavenly court is also doing, but it's just a change of skin, why not do it?
Moreover, it's not a change of skin, it's just a number of bosses, and they are still wearing Da Cai's skin and raising Da Cai's dragon flag!
Ye Qing knew this, and for the time being, he still needed these county orders as a transitional period, so he did not expose them, but turned over and dismounted.
