While he was talking, Wei Yongzhi's voice sounded from outside: "Jinu, why are you still here?"
Liu Yu's expression changed slightly and he looked at Wei Yongzhi: "Rabbit, why are you here?!"
Wei Yongzhi was dressed like a woodcutter and was soaked with sweat. He rushed in, grabbed a wine bag hanging from Xiang Jing's waist, and drank it in big gulps. Everyone knew that Wei Yongzhi had a magical bodyguard.
It is said that he can move as fast as a rabbit and can travel more than four hundred miles a day, but he will also lose strength after long-distance running. He is in urgent need of water. Everyone's eyes fell on Wei Yongzhi who was swallowing the cow, and his eyes were filled with anticipation.
.
Xiang Jing said in a rough voice: "Rabbit, please slow down, this is strong alcohol. Drinking too much at once is not good for your health."
Wei Yongzhi poured the last drop of wine in the wine bag into his stomach, and then threw the empty wine bag towards Xiang Jing: "It's not strong enough, grandma's."
Liu Yu frowned and looked at Wei Yongzhi's body. There was blood seeping out from the arms and thighs wrapped by two strips of cloth: "What's going on? You're in trouble?"
Wei Yongzhi wiped the wine drops from his lips: "It doesn't matter, the demon thieves retreated half an hour ago. I felt strange, so I went out of the city and followed behind to observe. I didn't expect that they also set up an ambush to bite them.
Just two bites.”
Liu Yu was surprised: "Someone can actually ambush you. How could you be so careless?"
Wei Yongzhi curled up his lips: "There are very powerful people in the demon path. They are silent and have no smell. There are fifteen of them lying in ambush in a forest. I didn't notice it. If I hadn't run fast, I might have died.
The explanation is there."
Liu Yu said in a deep voice: "There are very skilled disciples among them. Those who fight head-on and focus on hand-to-hand combat don't have to worry too much, but this kind of ambush and sneak attack are very powerful. We must be careful in the future. Can you
It's a good thing to escape, but now the demon thieves have retreated to the west?"
Wei Yongzhi said sternly: "Yes, at least that's what I saw before encountering the ambush. Even the teams they divided to plunder had just withdrawn along the way. It seems that this time they let those small groups pretend to be
They went to rob, but the large army left empty camps and marched westward overnight."
Liu Yu gritted his teeth: "How did you find out that they were in an empty camp?"
Wei Yongzhi smiled slightly: "In Hudu Fortress, there is a secret passage leading to the outside of the city. That Chen Yi is the captain of the guard next to Prefect Yuan. He goes out to investigate in person every day. He told me that the bandit camp is empty overnight."
Xiang Jing laughed: "Brother Jinu, as expected, the demon thief wanted to retreat to the west and found a place to board a ship and escape."
Tan Pingzhi said in a deep voice: "What about the thousands of people who were captured by the monster thieves? Did they evacuate with them?"
Wei Yongzhi nodded: "Yes, they put the women in the car, and the men drove them all the way. It's a strange thing to say, and these people were captured for only a few days, no more than 20 years at most, but they were all like walking zombies.
, I followed these monster thieves all the way without taking the opportunity to escape or make any noise."
Wang Zhongde sighed: "Most of the people in Wu believe in the Tao of the Heavenly Master. Usually, these monsters and thieves also give them some small favors to win people's hearts. These people are unwilling to enter Hudu this time because they have dissatisfaction with the Tao of the Heavenly Master."
It’s just a fantasy. Tieniu, what were the villagers in Fuping Village like when you rescued them?"
Xiang Jing said angrily: "It's irritating. When these people saw Tianshi Dao, they just followed him obediently. They even wanted to help the demon thieves escape, but they regarded us as enemies. If they had something in their hands,
Weapons, I'm afraid they will attack us, and I was so angry that I really wanted to kill a few of them to vent my anger."
Liu Yu nodded: "That's it. The reason why Tianshi Dao can grow is that they have many such believers, which gives them endless reserve power. It is easy to get rid of thieves in the mountains, but it is difficult to get rid of thieves in the heart.
This is why we need to unite the native surnames of Wu and the gentry like the Bao family, because we will leave here one day, and they will stay for a long time. If the relationship is not good, in this peacetime
If you create grudges during the rebellion, the Tianshi Dao rebellion will break out again in the future."
Everyone looked solemn and nodded in agreement.
Bao Sizhi's voice sounded from outside the camp gate: "I like what Liu Canjun said. We must unite at this time. According to what you just said, it's time to chase the demon thief."
With these words, Bao Sizhi came with more than ten primary schools. He put his hands on his hands and laughed and said: "If the demon thief takes the people with him, he will not go too fast. We can pursue at full speed. We can also let Shanghai
The defenders of Du came out to cooperate and defeated the demon thief in one fell swoop!"
Liu Yu shook his head: "No, this is too reckless. Now the enemy's situation is unknown. The monster thieves left an ambush behind, which means they are prepared. Maybe they deliberately used the strategy of moving the camp to lure us to pursue, so as to set up an ambush.
Destroyed."
Bao Sizhi sneered and said: "What plan to move the camp at this time? They have the advantage in military strength. It is enough to attack us by force. Why do they need to let small groups of troops rob villages to attract our attention? They just want to run away.
, if you don’t pursue them, you will just sit back and watch as the demon thieves take tens of thousands of people out to sea in boats, so who will bear the responsibility for instigating the enemy?"
Liu Yu's eyes sparkled and he began to weigh the pros and cons. Wei Yongzhi curled his lips and said, "Master Bao is right. If the demon thief is allowed to go a hundred miles west and land at Feiyuntan east of Jingkou, he won't be able to catch up.
On board. I would like to lead five hundred elite soldiers to explore the route first, so that if there is an ambush, we can detect it."
Liu Yu shook his head: "You didn't find the ambush of the demon thieves when you were alone this time. Their ambush level is very high. Last time, after the whole army passed, Yanshuai was ambushed while he was staying in the rear. This way
There are six or seven valleys and dense forests at Jingkou where it is easy to set up ambushes. I think it is better to stick to the key points. It is better to have no success than to rush in rashly."
Bao Sizhi's expression changed and he said in a deep voice: "Liu Canjun has already done this, what are you waiting for? If you are afraid of death, then I will attack first!"
As he said this, he turned around and was about to leave. Liu Yu quickly said: "Master Bao, please stay."
Bao Sizhi didn't look back and just stood there: "You can either send someone to rush with me, or you can stay here and be cautious. There is nothing else to say."
Liu Yu gritted his teeth and said: "Then please ask Mr. Bao to be the vanguard in pursuit. I will send five hundred elite soldiers, led by Lord Tan, to accompany you. Please don't fight hard when encountering an enemy ambush. Lord Tan will
An ambush is set up three miles behind you at any time. Even if the enemy is chasing us, as long as they see that we have an ambush, they will not dare to advance easily. Mr. Bao can retreat calmly."
