Lu Fang led the remaining elite members of the Guiyang Army back to the Guiyang Army camp outside Anren County in a leisurely manner.
At this time, the news of their suppression of bandits had not yet spread.
It is rarely spread even among the people.
Because there were too few bandits who survived on these hills. Some of them had a chance to escape, but they were frightened to death and hid in a hurry, not daring to show up.
When Lu Liang learned that Lu Fang had returned with his army, he took Lu Qian and others out of the camp to pick him up.
At this point, they haven't had time to lead the army to exterminate those small groups of bandits!
Still thinking about what to do.
Of course, I also want to wait for news from Lu Fang. After all, those small groups of bandits are really nothing to worry about.
Lu Liang couldn't help but feel puzzled when he saw that the Eight Hundred Cavalrymen seemed to have returned intact, except that there were some knife marks and arrow holes on their armor.
Then he asked: "Why did you come back?"
Even he thought that Lu Fang had encountered some trouble, so he led the army back so quickly.
Could it be that he suffered a setback while attacking the mountain stronghold?
There was a hint of sarcasm in Lu Qian's eyes.
However, they did not notice that the spirits of the Guiyang soldiers who followed Lu Fang were somewhat different from before.
Lu Fang turned over and dismounted and said: "You will come back after the bandits are eliminated. Do you still want me to stay outside?"
That’s what I asked!
Lu Liang was a little stunned, his eyes widened, "This, are you done with the bandits now?"
Lu Qian was also a little surprised, and then he took two steps forward and chuckled: "I wonder which hilltop Mr. Lu destroyed first?"
"Slender Peak."
Lu Fangdao.
Lu Qian nodded and said, "I wonder which mountain top Mr. Lu plans to conquer? It's only five days, but it's coming soon."
Lu Fang finally heard it. This guy wanted to destroy his army and make himself look bad!
Did he think that he had only wiped out the bandits in Slender Peak?
Just as he was about to speak, Hua Xingguo said sarcastically from the side: "General Lu, you have misunderstood."
"Um?"
Lu Qian looked at him.
He thought Hua Xingguo was planning to speak to Lu Fang, so he added, "Haha, I was just joking. How could I really let Mr. Lu clear out those bandits in five days?"
If you really want to take this matter seriously, you will offend Lu Liang. He is not that stupid.
I'm just a little unhappy about Lu Fang's previous idea to steal his limelight.
Hua Xingguo felt embarrassed for Lu Qian and said: "The general said that Mr. Lu has led us to eliminate all six groups of bandits."
"Gah?"
Lu Qian's mouth opened wide, his eyes widened, and he was stunned.
Lu Liang was also full of surprise.
Then he burst into laughter.
Lu Qian came back to his senses amidst the laughter, swallowed, and looked at Lu Fang in disbelief, "Master Lu, you...have wiped out all six groups of bandits?"
Then he looked at the soldiers behind Lu Fang.
This...this is impossible...
It seems that the eight hundred people are here almost uniformly...
Although he knew that Hua Xingguo would not joke about this kind of thing, he still couldn't believe it.
Lu Fang glanced at him and chuckled: "Does General Lu still think that I lied and claimed credit?"
This tone made Lu Qian's heart tremble.
Then he said repeatedly: "No, no. Mr. Lu is not a member of the army, so how can he ask for credit?"
After saying this dryly, he felt a little embarrassed and really didn't know what to say.
But I also know that it should be true that Lu Fang wiped out the six groups of bandits.
His mind couldn't help but be filled with doubts.
Entered the military camp.
Lu Liang took Lu Fang, Zhang Zimo and others straight to the big tent.
After sitting down in his tent, he asked Lu Fang with burning eyes: "Xiao Fang, how did you wipe out those bandits so quickly?"
Lu Fang looked at Hua Xingguo, he didn't want to waste such words.
Hua Xingguo straightened his body and said: "After leaving the camp that day, Mr. Lu first led me and others on a quick march to the foot of the Nest Peak. Then he attacked up the mountain at night and surrounded and killed the bandits in the Nest Peak.
.Afterwards, I rested at the foot of the mountain for two hours, and then rushed to Gujiang overnight..."
He spoke with great joy.
Everyone in the tent was surprised when they heard this.
March quickly!
Night attack!
Encirclement and suppression!
Although Hua Xingguo only talked about the general process of suppressing bandits, they still heard that this battle against bandits, whether it was the route of suppressing bandits, the time for rest, or the policy of attacking the mountain stronghold at each time period, was quite particular.
!
Lu Fang's combat ability is really...
Lu Qian looked at Lu Fang again with disbelief.
Only this time, I couldn't believe that Lu Fang had such outstanding military talents.
He is a martial arts scholar, but he can never reach the level of Lu Fang.
We suppressed nearly 3,000 bandits, but suffered no more than a hundred losses.
But Lu Liang just laughed again and again.
He had seen Lu Fang's military talents before, but this time, Lu Fang could be said to have refreshed his inner understanding of Lu Fang.
This time the bandits were suppressed, it was even more amazing than the previous battle back to Rucheng.
After all, Xu Linzhi and others deliberately sought death in the last battle at Rucheng.
The talents displayed by Lu Fang made him extremely happy.
I even thought that even if the incident came to light and something unexpected happened to me in the future, with Xiao Fang here, maybe big things would be successful.
…
Tanzhou City.
An imperial envoy suddenly arrived at Prince Rong's Mansion carrying an imperial edict.
Even though King Liang Shi was of high status, he could not be greeted at the gate of the palace. This was a ritual and he could not go beyond it.
Naturally, the family members in the palace also had to follow.
There were more than ten people, and Liang Siqi was among them.
"His Royal Highness."
The imperial envoy who announced the edict first smiled and nodded at Liang Shi, then took out the imperial edict from his sleeve robe and said: "Princess Yongle listens to the edict."
This made Liang Shi's wives and concubines a little stunned.
No one thought that this imperial edict was actually for Liang Siqi.
Liang Shi just stared slightly, his expression unchanged.
Liang Siqi's pretty face suddenly turned pale.
Is it coming so soon...?
She was wise and thoughtful, and could already imagine what kind of intention this imperial edict would convey to Liang Hanmin.
"Although I am far away in the palace, I still care about Princess Yongle... Princess Yongle is smart and smart... The last number one scholar, Jiang Jiaping, is well-educated and handsome. He and Princess Yongle are a match made in heaven. I have specially decreed a marriage..."
This imperial edict is very long, probably hundreds of words long.
They all express Liang Hanmin's concern for Liang Siqi and his concern that his niece is still unmarried at this age. Therefore, he specially chose a good husband for her.
But Liang Siqi's face turned paler and paler.
Until the imperial envoy finished reading, there was still no movement.
"Princess Yongle."
The imperial envoy reminded.
Liang Siqi, who was kneeling on the ground, just looked up at him without getting up.
This made the imperial envoy frown slightly, but because of the face of Prince Rong's palace, he couldn't care about it, so he had to say: "Why don't you accept the order quickly and thank me?"
"I……"
Liang Siqi opened her mouth, her eyes full of struggle.
