Chapter 501 Yun Yong (1)
"Banru, do you see if the Qin people discovered our whereabouts?" Fang Jinzhi turned his head casually and looked at Fang Banru and asked.
Fang Banru lowered his head slightly and raised his head, his face was full of respect. Of course, he understood what Fang Jinzhi meant. He had no idea. Then he asked him for advice. He immediately replied, "Brother, maybe... you all are right. Are we so many people afraid that the Qin people will not be able to succeed? At worst, we will surround them, and they are afraid that they will fly to the sky? However, the one who keeps the word here must be the eldest brother. The head of the family also came for the sake of the eldest brother's face, so it is better for the elder brother to decide by himself... As long as the elder brother gives the order, Banru is willing to take the lead and give the head of the dog imperial envoy to the elder brother..."
This sounds like that, and no problem can be found in his expression, but this is equivalent to not saying it. There is no one here in the experts who are marching and fighting. The elites in the Divine Cult either went to Chengdu, in Jianmen, or in Hanzhong. However, the matter here only happened temporarily, so they responded in this way. Otherwise, Fang Jinzhi and Fang Banru, who had always been afraid of it.
In the end, Fang Jinzhi hesitated for a while, and the word was still the same. When the Qin people were waiting, they would definitely go to Jianmen, and it was impossible to turn around. This was the only way to go to Jianmen. The Qin army would not add up to tens of thousands of dollars in the entire Lizhou West Road. In other words, even if the Qin people and their team discovered them in advance, they would not attract large groups of officers and soldiers. According to Fang Jinzhi's intention, they would wait for a day here, and then check the Qin people's reaction tomorrow, and then find the way to deal with it.
At this time, he finally remembered that he ordered Wang Dayuan to take three thousand people to cut off the Qin people's retreat. The most important thing was to send some good men who had been traveling through mountains and ridges for many years to lie on the mountain path in case the Qin people sent people to Jianmen to report the news.
After a series of orders were sent, the bandits started to move in a mess. At this time, even the stupidest person understood that even if the Qin people did not know that there was an ambush here before, they should have known it at this time. It seems that this time, it is inevitable that they will meet the Qin people face to face.
If Fang Jinzhi's next arrangement is remarkable, it's just a matter of course. It would be fine if he met an ordinary person, but he didn't know what kind of person he met, nor did he know that his opponent was a crazy person who completely advocated offense and was the best defense. Such arrangement was just a deliberately leaving the opponent with sufficient preparation time. If the thieves rushed over on such a narrow road, with the absolute advantage of numbers, they might be able to completely destroy the Qin army that was pieced together, but now, they have to talk about it...
Hearing Hu Li's report, Zhao Shi immediately became energetic and his vague uneasy mood along the way completely calmed down. Naturally, he would not hesitate like Fang Jinzhi. He first asked Hu Li a few more questions, and then sent more people to go and investigate carefully.
But what he did afterwards was to advance without retreating, and ordered the team to travel for several miles and set up camp at three miles of Zimuxia. This was the first battle after the Eastern Expedition. It was not in vain that he had prepared so many. Although the opponent had the advantage in numbers, he was not afraid of anything. After hearing that the opponent was some bandits, his first reaction was to defeat them. Then he thought, how could so many bandits gather here? What was the purpose? Was it coming to them? Or was it intended... Jianmen...
Naturally, he would not think that more than ten thousand people gathered together and just wanted to block the road and rob some wealth. How many strong people are there in the entire Lizhou? If there were so many people, I am afraid that the bandits in the entire Lizhou have already come here, right?
With such a strange movement, I didn’t receive any news while replenishing supplies along the way. It’s really damn. Did you really think that the entire Sichuan was already in the pocket? Is it easy to be lazy and lazy, and the people involved should be beheaded.
"Report to the Lord, there are more than 5,000 bandits walking towards me along the small path between the mountains. They must have been intentionally blocking my retreat. There are nearly 20,000 bandits who are hiding in Zimu Gorge. They are not equipped in a good manner, and there are few crossbows. They are not in the ranks and the team is messy. They are indeed bandits..."
In the big tent, Zhao Shi had already summoned everyone, and the generals only thought that it was ordinary bandits blocking the road, and there was nothing strange about it. After the war, the place was not peaceful, so I was mentally prepared and didn't care. However, this time, I reported that the number of bandits was almost the same. When everyone heard this, they were shocked. Even Du Shanhu, Zhang Fengju and others frowned. There were so many bandits who were in danger, and I'm afraid... it was a bit troublesome...
For example, Liu Zhongguo, Li Chengyi, Yang Duan and others had a little pale face. Liu Zhongguo was better. He was the confidant of Li Gandang, the commander of Xiongwu Army. He had seen people who had encountered the situation during the Eastern Expedition. Even though he was worried, his face was calm. However, Li Chengyi and Yang Duan were both young masters who lived in Chang'an for a long time. This military position was only achieved by Yu Yin, his father and grandfather. When he heard that there were so many bandits, his scalp was numb and his eyes were flashing. He immediately began to make up his mind. Should he take the opportunity to persuade the imperial envoy to return to Jinzhou first?
"What? More than 20,000 bandits? Why are there so many? Have you figured it out clearly? Otherwise... then...we...we...we...are we...?" Although the stuttering words were not finished, they also said what Yang Duan and Li Chengyi thoughts. However, these words did not come from the two of them, but Qu Shizhao, the deputy envoy sitting next to Zhao Shi, blurted out in panic.
When he spoke and saw everyone's eyes, he realized that he had done something stupid. All the generals here said such words. No matter how these generals thought, they could not ask. From the eyes they looked at, they could feel the contempt in it...
It would be fine, but the Qin army was in full swing. If the imperial envoy was forced to return to Jinzhou by bandits, if this was spread, the emperor Long Yan would be furious, and the two imperial envoys would definitely not be able to take it. One of them was afraid of the enemy and humiliating the country, and the beheading was light. If it was not done well, the family would be confiscated and the clan would be destroyed. In addition, all officials in Jinzhou, Lizhou would be implicated. That would be a public anger. It would be better to die than to die here. It would be better to die here.
However, thinking that he was surrounded by tens of thousands of people on the Shu Road, which could not be moved forward or retreat, the true nature of this literati was immediately revealed. He knew that the consequences of retreating to Jinzhou were unimaginable, but he still involuntarily wanted to hear a word from Zhao Shi that we would return to Jinzhou.
"More than 20,000 people are not a lot. When we fought the Golden Dog, they were all elite Golden Dogs. We were captured by more than 10,000 people, and killed corpses everywhere. We ran away with our heads in our arms. I thought that when we arrived in Sichuan, it was just a matter of promulgation. But I didn't expect that there would be ready-made contributions to us. Do you think we should take them?"
Zhao Shi glanced at Qu Shizhao and sneered in his heart. This guy is very sarcastic and sarcastic all day long, but when he was about to fight, he was so unbearable. This is the kind of treacherous look in the book who specializes in power. It looks really disgusting. If he wins this battle, he doesn't know what kind of ideas this guy has come up with. Maybe he can get an additional position. If he uses these bandits to kill this guy, he will have less trouble in the future.
This thought flashed through his mind, but he didn't care about these things at this moment...
He said this rudely and murderously, but the generals below liked this the most. The generals in the army were not panicked when they encountered the battle and were as calm as this, and the others immediately calmed down.
"My lord is indeed brave and powerful. I, Lao Zhang, am convinced. I have a fate, even if I go to die, I am willing to do so. Lord, please don't leave this front to others. Lao Zhang has been bored in Chang'an for a long time. If you can fight a war, you will have credit. If you don't want such good things, Lao Zhang cannot let go of them." The person who spoke was Zhang Sizhong. He was different from others. He heard that he had met a bandit, and there were still a lot of people, and his eyes immediately lit up. Before Zhao Shi finished speaking, he had already taken the blame.
"This is not true. The leader is our Lao Du, the coach of the brigade. Our Lao Du follows you from the west to the east. For this reason, the leader has to be given to Lao Du."
"Go away, you two have already gained enough credits and are old again. If you may be hurt when fighting, you might get hurt. Let me go." Zhang Fengju was not willing to be outdone and argued.
"Bah, the boy who has not even grown all his hair has been bullied a few days ago and is so dirty. This headline is about to show our prestige. If it is given to you, we will not be laughed at by others. We are no one in the Yulin Army?" Zhang Sizhong immediately laughed strangely, and when he spoke, he didn't even look at Zhang Feng, but just glanced at the eldest lady of the Zong family standing behind Zhong Sui. Who doesn't understand this?
"The last general is under his command of the border army. If he is to choose a vanguard to attack the formation, the last general thinks he is the first choice." Zhong Sui has always been cherishing his words like gold, but at this time he couldn't help but ask for a fight.
Liu Zhongguo gritted his teeth and admired him. The adult said something and made everyone rush to fight. Not to mention the other side, but the morale was completely different from before. Such methods really make people respect it.
He believed that the Xiongwu Army was no worse than the left guard of Yulin, but the heroic spirit of the Zuo Guard was not afraid of the world. He believed that he was not as good as that. However, at this time, he could not lose the face of the Xiongwu Army. "The last general is willing to go and explore..."
"Okay." Zhao Shi waved his hand. He naturally had many ways to boost morale in the army, but when fighting, he relied on careful planning. The fewer mistakes he made, the more chances of winning. Like Fang Banru, opposite him, he was sure to win. A group of untrained bandits. If he was on the plain, not to mention that he had more than 3,000 elite soldiers under his command, even if he had more than 100 people, he believed that he could fight tens of thousands of bandits and wolves running away. However, the terrain here was dangerous and obviously some plans were needed.
What he was most worried about was not actually this. What he was worried about was that the escort would be damaged. If a few female soldiers were caught, it would be a troublesome and embarrassing thing. Also, if these bandits made up their minds not to fight against him, and the mountains and forests were dense, they would release one or two cold arrows from time to time, what would that be?
Furthermore, if he defeated the bandits in front of him, something had happened to the Jianmen Sect, and his nearly 4,000 people might not be able to walk out of the Sichuan safely.
"Yang Duan." Zhao Shi ordered the man, but not the one who asked for a fight. Everyone was stunned and then they all realized it, but their thoughts were different. Du Shanhu and others immediately looked strange. The thoughts turned out to be nothing more than that. It seemed that the adults wanted to use this to eliminate Yang Duan's arrogance, but Zhong Sui frowned. Along the way, he had already seen that the Xiongwu Army and the Yulin Left Guard were well trained and could be called elite, but the Yulin Right Guard was quite consistent with the rumored Yulin Army. Such a guy, one of his soldiers could fight five, and Yang Duan had no talent to command troops to fight. It would be better to let him die directly to save others from implicating them.
But after all, it was Yang Xiang's grandson. This adult was too brave. Or was it just intentional. I heard that Yang Xiang was not satisfied with the holy heart and would soon resign and return home. Once Yang Xiang returned to his hometown, the Yang family would indeed have no big trees to shelter from the wind and rain, and there was nothing to be afraid of. But why did Yang Duan come to Sichuan with this adult? It seemed that he was quite inconsistent with this adult. What did the Yang family think?
To be honest, this family is really different from what Du Shanhu and others think.
