Text Chapter 193 Iced sour plum soup
The scouts were obviously very tired, and lay on the green grass, breathing violently, and had been on the road all night. At this time, seeing that it was Qianhu Li Tian who came in person, several scouts hurriedly stood up, although they were wearing the clothes of the people, but they still had the upright of soldiers.
"I've seen a thousand households. Several scouts said together.
"Sit down. Seeing that the scouts' legs were trembling, Li Tian hurriedly said, asked a few scouts to sit down, and Li Tiancai said, "Do you know where the target is?" β
"We've been tracking for a day and we've figured it out. One of the scout captains took out the map as he spoke, and said, "Now, we have made sure that they will pass through this road, and at noon today, they will pass through Hujiagou, which is thirty miles away. Hujiagou is a hill, where an ambush can be fought. β
"Hmm. Li Tian nodded with satisfaction and said, "Don't worry about the fifty auxiliaries, where do the fifty soldiers come from, and how is the combat effectiveness?"
"Back to the Thousand Households, we inquired in various markets through the people close to our 'Xuannan Sect', but they all said that they had never seen this soldier. In the end, we learned from a guy who opened an inn that this soldier was not a member of the 'Tianyanmen', to be precise, they were the private soldiers of a family, the 'Tianyanmen' Zhao family's Great Xiuxian Family. β
"The leading general this time is a junior son of the Zhao family, so the family sent fifty private soldiers to protect this son. β
"I see, well, you're doing well, go down. β
"Yes. "A few scouts left, but Li Tian sighed secretly in his heart, Kang Jun's scouts can be so active on the enemy's transportation line, one is because of the loyalty and courage of these scouts, but more importantly, the hearts of the people here are 'Xuannanzong'. Because people hate invaders, Kang Jun and them can be like fish in water.
Then, he thought of this so-called son of the Zhao family, hmph, no matter how noble your identity is, you will still fail, and I, Li Tian, are specially designed to beat you second ancestors. From Guo Tu to Dugu Ming to Dongfang Qiong, there are many second ancestors who have been defeated under my Li Tian.
In Li Tian's determination, the army of 'Xuannanzong' had eaten breakfast, walked out of the gray mist forest quietly, and approached Hujiagou. There were no markets in this area, so there were no scouts from the 'Tianyanmen', and the army successfully entered Hujiagou and ambushed in the woods on both sides of the road.
Because it was a hill, the road became narrower here, and the narrowest place could only accommodate two cars to pass, and Li Tiansuo's department was ambushed in the narrowest section, quietly waiting for the arrival of Zhao's baggage team. Time passed little by little, and the sun shone into the woods of Hujiagou, making the army of Xuannanzong who remained motionless in the woods sweating, but when noon came, the Zhao family's baggage team did not come.
Li Tian's heart sank, and he immediately asked Kang Jun to take someone to take a look, could it be that he was discovered by the enemy? No, he just launched an ambush for the first time, and the enemy should not be vigilant. Li Tian had all kinds of speculations in his heart, but in the end, he didn't know what was going on.
The sun reached due south, and in the passage of time, it gradually moved to the west, and finally, the doubts in Li Tian's heart were solved by Kang Jun, who rushed back.
"Kang Jun, what's going on, is it that the Zhao Clan's baggage team has become alert and is no longer advancing?" Zhang Hu asked first.
"What a vigilance. Kang Jun wiped his sweat and said with a smile: "We investigated, it was noon, the eldest son of the Zhao family must drink iced sour plum soup and let his servants go to find it, so the convoy took a break and did not rush to Hujiagou as scheduled." β
"We calculated according to their marching speed, we never thought that this Zhao son's son would be so β’β’β’β’β’β’"
"This rabbit cub, when did he have his grandmother's time, and he still drinks iced sour plum soup?" Zhang Hu was sweating profusely, and after hearing this, he couldn't help but scold: "This guy, I will let him know what iced yellow urine soup is in a while." β
"Alright, alright. Li Tian also couldn't laugh a little, and finally said: "Although we waited in the woods for an extra hour, we can also be more sure that the enemy's combat effectiveness is absolutely average: such an undisciplined team still expects to have strong combat effectiveness? Be prepared to vent your anger on the enemy." β
"Yes. The soldiers dispersed, just waiting for this Zhao clan's baggage team to enter their ambush circle.
Zhang Hu was very unhappy, and the general of the Zhao family's baggage team, Zhao Kuo, was also unhappy. What kind of sour plum soup is this grandmother's? The sour plum in it has no taste at all, and he Zhao Dagongzi only took one sip and spit it out, and finally scolded several servants. But in the end, Zhao Gongzi had no choice but to brave the scorching sun on the road.
You must know that he Zhao Gongzi is the eldest son of the 'Zhao Clan's Great Cultivation Immortal Family', he was born with Zhong Ming Ding Food, when did he suffer like this? Along the way, the food was almost impossible to swallow, and he had to act with these big-headed soldiers, smelling their sweatβ’β’β’β’β’β’ such a strong sunlight tanned his skin.
So, Zhao Gongzi asked people to find a sedan chair and let his servants carry him away.
Zhao Kuo would never have participated in this war, he was a noble emperor, how could he go to the battlefield? Besides, Zhao Kuo's strength was β’β’β’β’β’β’, but in the end he still came, not for anything else, but for the interests of the family.
Seeing that the 'Tianyanmen' is winning on the front line and has occupied the entire 'Shannan Province', after the war, he will definitely be rewarded for his merits, and at that time, his Zhao family must also be able to get a piece of the pie. So Zhao Kuo came, as long as he escorted a batch of supplies in name, even if he participated in the war and won the war, he naturally had a share of his credit, and if the war failed, there would be no danger, right?
In fact, this is the practice of many big families, not only 'Tianyanmen', but also 'Xuannanzong'. Hei Mingzi and Li Han, who were foreign guests, rushed to kill on the front line, but Guo Tu and Dugu Ming, the second ancestors, were transporting materials in the rear, which was both safe and could make credit.
There are also children of families like Zhan Lan'er and Guo Shou, but they are still a minority.
Because it was only regarded as a trip, this Zhao Kuo did not have the slightest defense, and the entire marching team was loose, not to mention the scouts of reconnaissance, even ordinary soldiers did not even take out the spirit weapon. These 100 people escorted these 30 carts, and when they arrived at 'Shuqingfang City', they ended the task.
Sorry for the lack of update yesterday.
