Chapter 15: Suddenly a Sword Rises in the Middle of the Night (Part I)
Carefully studying the marching route of the Red Turban Thieves on the map, Chen Qi said disapprovingly, "It seems that the Red Turban Thieves have taken the old road of the Rogue again, and the news that their leader Zhang Shun died of illness should be true, if this sober General Pingtian is still alive, he will not be so stupid, he actually took the risk of dividing his troops, and he wanted to attack Jiancheng, obviously the two county towns that were easily captured made the Red Turban Army a little fluttery, and they couldn't recognize the reality." ”
"Grandpa, you have been an official in Lingnan for many years, the people's hearts are attached, and the prestige is grand, as long as you ascend to the heights, hundreds of thousands of people will inevitably respond in groups, all of them are united, and they are united in hating the enemy to defend their homeland. Even if it is captured, there will be heavy losses. ”
"When the Red Turban Thieves are unable to attack, their morale is low, and their men and horses are tired, they only need to send an elite army to strike a sudden blow in the back, echoing with the soldiers and horses in the city, and attacking back and forth, and they will surely win a great victory. ”
"However, the Red Turban Thief is a division of a hundred battles, very cautious, a radius of ten miles, full of their horse scouts, as long as they get close, they will be discovered, how can we raid without cavalry?"
"Raid by the water army!" Chen Qi said without hesitation, "There is a lot of water in Lingnan, all kinds of rivers and lakes are vertical and horizontal, it is not an exaggeration to say that there is a river for ten miles, and no matter where the red turban thieves camp, they will be close to the riverbank." The navy marched down the river as fast as a galloping horse, and even if it was discovered, the rogue horse scouts would not have time to return the letter. ”
"Of course, if you want to be safe, you can raid at night, although it is a little dangerous to sail at night, but it is more hidden. Calmly recounting his strategy, Chen Qi's heart was a little enthusiastic, which man did not have the dream of Jin Ge Iron Horse in his heart and fought on the battlefield? Not to mention that he practiced national art in two lives, and often sighed that he had the skill of slaying dragons in the air, and had the opportunity to fight on the battlefield, so he was naturally enthusiastic and eager to try.
However, Chen Qi quickly calmed down and gave up his unrealistic thoughts, he is only ten years old this year, and his national art cultivation has just begun to practice secretly, although his explosive strength far exceeds that of adults, but it is not enough to protect himself on the dangerous battlefield, and his grandfather will not let him take risks.
"Bang," as soon as Chen Qi's plan was finished, he heard someone applauding behind him, and a middle-aged man in his forties walked out from behind the screen, with a long white face and a long beard, and a smile, "The Chen family's Qilin'er really lives up to its reputation, both civil and military, and one day, it will definitely be like a Dapeng spreading its wings for 90,000 miles, and it will be famous all over the world." ”
"Haha, Yuanfeng has won the award," Chen Shou was modest, but the slightly upturned corners of his mouth betrayed him, "Xiaoyi, this is Tian Junshou, come and see you." ”
Chen Qi hurriedly paid a big salute, Tian Hao helped him up, looked him up and down, and nodded with satisfaction, "The virtuous nephew is really a talent, and he is also a hero." ”
"The adult praised it falsely, and the kid didn't dare to be ashamed. ”
"Hehe, Xiaoyi," Tian Hao praised, "Do you know that my teacher and I have been worried about the red turban thief, and we discussed it for a long time before we found a way to win, but you only glanced at the topographic map, and you came up with a plan with a cup of tea, and the hero saw the same thing, which is really impressive." ”
"What?" Chen Qi was taken aback, they had already thought of a way to defeat the red turban thief, he touched his nose, a little embarrassed, what is this, the dog takes the mouse? He should have thought of it a long time ago, Lingnan has been politically clear and the people's livelihood is happy, and the people under his grandfather are not rice buckets, and the remnants of the red turban thieves are nothing at all.
"I'm concerned about it, I'm really impulsive today," Chen Qi sighed, and sighed secretly, "Recently, the physical growth has accelerated, and the hormone secretion has accelerated, and it is about to reach the reckless and impulsive adolescence, does this affect my thinking?"
After listening to the encouragement of the two elders, Chen Qi escaped from the Taishou Mansion in a hurry.
Ten days have passed, but there is no red turban thieves surrounding Guangzhou City, obviously still on the way to the march, crazy looting, Chen Qi secretly sighed, the red turban army has been completely reduced from the rebel army to thieves, however, this also gave him sufficient time to prepare, from outside the city to mobilize most of the grain into the mansion for storage.
There is food in your hand and you don't panic, even if there is an accident, it will be okay to be besieged for a year and a half. However, this possibility is very low, the team of red turban thieves is huge, and they consume a huge amount of food every day, and they will starve to death first after besieging the city for so long.
One night, there was obviously no nightlife at this time, and the Goolan wine shop was not something he could go to at his age, so after reading a book for a while, Chen Qi went to bed early.
In the middle of the night, Chen Qi was awakened by a violent noise, hurriedly got up from the bed, came to the courtyard, and saw the east courtyard brightly lit and the figures surging.
"There are thieves entering the house, the target is grandpa?" This is Chen Qi's first reaction, the world respects the east, grandpa Chen Shou lives in the east courtyard on weekdays, but he is not worried, because the red scarf thief is approaching recently, grandpa has been living in the Taishou Yamen, and has not returned home, but few people know his specific whereabouts, thinking that the red scarf thief is coming, Chen Qi seems to smell the smell of conspiracy in it.
"Little master, this... What happened here?" Xiao Xiang'er was also awakened, and came to him in a panic.
Chen Qi didn't answer, his eyes glanced at her, it was the middle of summer at this time, it was not cold, in a hurry, she was only wearing a small red belly pocket on her upper body, which could not completely cover her snow-white skin, and the flower bones on the girl's chest had begun to grow.
"Ahh
Chen Qi smiled, he didn't have any evil thoughts in his heart, but he had a feeling that my family had a girl who had just grown up.
The maids and servants in the courtyard, Xiao Si, were all awakened, and surrounded the little young master, talking about what happened in the east courtyard, but no one dared to investigate.
At this time, a team of torches came from the front yard, which was a team of family members sent by Chen Huwei to protect Chen Qi's safety.
From the mouths of these family members, Chen Qi learned what happened, it turned out that tonight, there were thieves who quietly climbed into the courtyard wall of the east courtyard, charmed the patrol dogs with medicine, and quietly solved a team of patrolling family members, but was discovered by the secret guard of the secret sentinel, and sent out a warning signal in time, and the family members who came to fight with the thieves were in a mess, and the fight was in full swing at this time.
Hearing this, Chen Qi was a little eager to try, he had not experienced a real life-and-death battle in the two worlds of martial arts, and his hands were very itchy, but Chen Huwei obviously knew him very well, and had already ordered everyone to protect and take care of him, and not to let him cause trouble.
"Little Master, Master Tiger has instructed that the thief will be captured soon, please wait with peace of mind. The leading captain of the family stopped.
Chen Qi stopped stupidly, returned to the bedroom and waited quietly, however, after a quarter of an hour, he found that something was wrong, the fighting became more intense, and it seemed to gradually move to the southeast, where was the courtyard of his mother, he suddenly couldn't sit still, and forcibly rushed out of the block, followed by Xiao Si Chen Xiaoyi, as Chen Qi's personal follower, he lived in the courtyard on weekdays. The team looked at each other, and could only helplessly follow the protection.
Feeling dark and walking into the east courtyard of the previous fight, the pungent smell of blood came into the nose, disgusting, lit the torch, and found that the ground and the wall were full of bloodstains, crimson red, and all kinds of stumps and broken arms, some residual large intestines, small intestines and other internal organs, but the most were the wounded and silent corpses lying on the ground wailing.
However, most of these injured people are dressed as family members, and those strange thieves have all become corpses, obviously the family members have a certain advantage, and there is a team of family members left behind to rescue the wounded, collect the corpses, and casually cruelly mend the injured thieves, obviously with extreme hatred in their hearts.
Chen Qi didn't stop it, he opened his mouth to ask about the battle situation, it turned out that there were not many thieves who sneaked in, only a few dozen people, but they were all fierce and violent, and they were not afraid of death when they fought, although the family members of the Chen Mansion were well-trained, but they rarely experienced fighting, and they were almost killed by the fierce thieves for a while.
Now the thieves were retreating to the southeast, just about to pass by his mother's yard, and for a while Chen Qi was anxious and ran away.
