Although Tianzhisi's reputation is much better than that of Jinyiwei, he is not a good person in the eyes of Zhuozhou County Sheriff.
"Xiucai, what should I do with this guy?! Or just kill him!"
Lao Bai looked at Xiucai and said casually, as if he was a murderous demon king.
It seems that in their eyes, this fifth-ranked member of the imperial court is just a chicken waiting to be slaughtered.
"Old Bai, you are so rude! Zi once said:..."
"Go, let's go!" As he said this, Lao Bai, who had a disagreement, was about to take action.
The Zhuozhou County Sheriff was so frightened that he fainted when the two men sang in harmony. There was a warm dampness in the originally warm bedding.
"Take it away! He already knows about our existence, so there will inevitably be some mistakes!"
"Okay, now I don't even need to open the acupoints, I just fainted!" The scholar was helpless, Lao Bai was too rude and had no etiquette at all.
We are all scholars and educated people, how can we imitate those gangsters and roughnecks in killing and killing?!
Conquering talents with virtue is the right way! There is a big word "德" engraved on the scholar's pen. It is said that the sage master also has a weapon called "德", which weighs one hundred and eight kilograms and can be wielded easily.
This is the greatest virtue in the world.
"Let's take the man and leave! Take him back to General Zhao to deal with him!"
As he said this, Lao Bai lifted the Zhuozhou County Sheriff up like a little chicken.
"Let's go!"
Lao Bai tried to leave, but was stopped by the scholar!
"Old Bai, let's just leave like this?! We won't leave anything behind either?!"
Lao Bai can't keep up with the intellectual rhythm of scholars.
"Xiucai, what do you mean!?"
"The passing of a wild goose leaves a voice, the passing of a man leaves a name, the passing of a knight leaves a scent!" Dan saw the wolf brush in the scholar's hand splashing ink, leaving three lines of words on the wall of the Zhuozhou County Sheriff.
Although the scholar did not read the Four Books and Five Classics very well, his cursive writing was really rare at that time.
Splash the ink with your hand, then use the pen to read the cursive notes, pick up the scattered ones, and finish it in an instant.
It is as bright as the autumn light falling on the song, and the writing is as sharp as the pen!
"The word is good, what does it mean?!"
The scholar's originally elegant posture suddenly paused, as if his sneeze had been forcibly interrupted. He felt indescribably uncomfortable.
"Don't worry about it, just tell me whether it's awesome or not!"
"..."
Immediately, Lao Bai and Xiucai were about to leave with the county governor.
If it were a county governor appointed by the imperial court, Lao Bai and Xiucai would not be so unreasonable, but this Zhuozhou county governor was really not appointed by the imperial court.
King Zhao has secretly controlled the land of Yanyou and parts of Jizhou in recent years.
This Zhuozhou County is the sphere of influence of King Zhao. The middle and lower-level officials here have been bribed by King Zhao. Even if the court sends honest and capable officials here, the people below will immediately ignore them.
And the King of Zhao had military power, so the Thirteenth and other ministers were not willing to go to war with the King of Zhao easily when their own foothold was not stable.
This gave King Zhao more time to control the land of Yan and Zhao. After he raised troops to quell the troubles, all the officials originally appointed by the court, except those who had pledged their allegiance to King Zhao, had been controlled by King Zhao and then replaced.
Although Lao Bai and Xiucai were members of the Tianzhi Division of Dali Temple, they did not have the authority to deal with a fifth-grade county governor.
Special violent institutions need to be restrained, and Yang Qingyuan knows this better than anyone else. From Jinyiwei to Sticky Branch to Juntong... Special violent institutions must be restrained.
But this Zhuozhou County Sheriff is a fake official appointed by King Zhao! Not only is he not an official of the imperial court, but he is also a criminal suspect, suspected of a series of crimes such as impersonating a national official, conspiracy, secession, etc.
Naturally, Dali Temple Tianzhi Division has the right to deal with such criminal suspects.
"There's an assassin!"
"Someone come quickly!"
Screams of surprise rang out in the Zhuozhou County Sheriff's Mansion, and the sound of golden gongs also sounded almost at the same time.
Naturally, the defense at the home of a county chief would not be too lax, especially when King Zhao's army was at war with the imperial court recently, so the security was naturally very tight.
King Zhao even sent experts from the Yuanhua Realm to protect the chief executives of various places.
This war that originated from the imperial court but spread to the world was originally initiated by King Zhao. He thought he had won over enough masters, but he never thought that the power he had secretly accumulated
He was actually no match for the imperial court.
In the early days of Jingnan's army, King Zhao sent a large number of masters to deal with the imperial officials, but unexpectedly it did not have a very good effect.
Six Gates, Dali Temple, Jinyiwei... The Sixth Dark Department of the imperial court showed his value at this moment.
Although they usually fight openly and secretly, and consume a lot of money, this battle between Jianghu warriors made the princes of the court see its value.
Without these martial arts warriors, King Zhao's offensive might have been even more ferocious, and the defenders and officials in the cities along the way would have been captured or killed by these martial arts masters.
However, due to the tight defense of these warriors, King Zhao not only failed to succeed, but also lost more than ten Yuan Hua realm masters, including a monk of the Xuan generation from the Shaolin sect.
Now that King Zhao has shifted from strategic attack to strategic defense, he naturally has to send Yuanhua realm warriors to protect his officials.
Zhuojun was established by Emperor Gao of the Han Dynasty, with a very wide jurisdiction, extending from Fangshan, Liangxiang, Liulihe in the north, to Bazhou, Miaozhou, Gu'an in the east, to Xincheng, Dingxing, Jingrong to the northern boundary of Qingyuan in the south, and to Yi in the west. County, Laishui and other places. The county governs nine of the twenty counties.
It is the old capital of Emperor Xuanyuan and the hometown of Emperor Zhaolie. It is one of the core counties of Jizhou in terms of politics and people's livelihood.
King Zhao was proficient in the art of war and naturally knew the key geographical location of Zhuozhou County, so he sent three Yuanhua realm masters to protect the officials of Zhuozhou County.
As soon as the golden gong sounded, the nearby Yuan Hua realm masters immediately gathered towards this place.
"Old Bai, I'm afraid this is a bit troublesome!"
If the two of them were themselves, they would naturally not be afraid of these masters and guards. Xiucai and Lao Bai are also masters in the Yuan Hua Realm. Their Qinggong is also extraordinary. Needless to say, Lao Bai's Qinggong can rival that of the King of Thieves. Sikong reaches for the stars, even if he is a scholar, his Qinggong is extraordinary.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Even if they cannot be defeated, it is still very easy for the two of them to run away.
But now the two of them have an extra 160 kilograms of oil bottle in their hands. With such a baggage, even Lao Bai's Qinggong will be affected.
"Run or fight!?" Lao Bai glanced at Xiucai and analyzed, "If I run, I will have no problem if the enemy has a Pogang Crossbow. But this corrupt official is in some trouble, so I think we should fight first and then run.
…”
While Lao Bai was still analyzing, he already had the thorn in the scholar's sleeve in his hand.
"The Master said, a gentleman wants to be slow in words but quick in deeds!"
A gentleman should not just use his words, but dare to take action and take action actively!
Confucius: Yes, that’s what I mean!!
The wolf hair that had always looked like an ordinary man was a murderous weapon in the palm of the scholar's hand. He originally looked like a weak scholar with no power to restrain a chicken, but now he was like a life-threatening judge.
The pen writes about life and death, and the ink dyes Yin and Yang.
Not only was this wolf's pen extremely sharp, but even the ink dots it flew out forced the three Yuan Hua realm warriors to dodge.
One of them was accidentally hit by the ink click, and he felt a tightness in his chest and blood rushing up, as if he had been hit by a sledgehammer.
"Be careful, this person has deep inner strength and is invincible!"
However, their opponent, Xiucai, appeared to be free and easy in his moves, and was mumbling words between his moves.
"Confucius said, if it is not important, it will not be powerful!"
If you don't strike hard enough, you won't be able to show your majesty!
Scholars keep the teachings of their sage teachers in mind and continue to review them when fighting with others. This kind of learning attitude is really worth learning.
Just as the three of them were struggling to avoid the ink dots and brush strokes, a figure passed by the three of them like a gust of wind.
"Sunflower acupuncture hand!"
Just after saying the five words, the three of them were already standing where they were.
"That's it?!" Xiucai put away his wolf hair. Although his Spring and Autumn Knife and Pen is a unique skill in the world, but when compared with Lao Bai's acupuncture method, the functional difference is reflected.
Just using this martial arts skill to go to the boudoirs of ladies from wealthy families, isn't that just... stealing whatever jewelry you want, just steal whatever jewelry you want?!
"These three people all have internal skills. My acupuncture can only last for a quarter of an hour at most. Let's go quickly!" Lao Bai never kills people, not even chickens.
Although the scholar was ruthless, he did not have to kill people. These three people were no longer a threat to them, and it was not clear whether these three people were treacherous and evil people, so there was no need to kill them all.
Then the two of them carried the Zhuozhou County Sheriff and headed towards the city wall.
The sound of the golden gong not only did not encircle the two men, but also caused the defenders originally near the city wall to move closer to the county governor's mansion. The two of them led the Zhuozhou governor out of the county without any effort.
…
－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－
In the Pingjing Army camp, Zhao Tianlin was looking at Lao Bai and Xiucai with a complicated expression.
These two were experts from the Tianzhi Division of Dali Temple. He had known about this for a long time, but he did not expect that these two people could capture the governor of Zhuozhou County alive.
In terms of martial arts, Zhao Tianlin, who can cross the Dongxuan Realm with half a foot, will definitely be better than Lao Bai and Xiucai. However, although Zhao Tianlin is brave on the battlefield, if he is asked to sneak and run like Lao Bai and Xiucai, it will be like entering an uninhabited land.
, Zhao Tianlin can’t do it either.
"Don't you know the names of these two brave men?!"
"My surname is Bai, my name is Zhantang. I am the waiter of an inn in Qixia Town, Guanzhong. He is Lu Qinghou, the accountant who settles accounts in our inn."
"..."
The soldiers in the tent didn't know how to answer the call for a moment. The waiter and the clerk in an inn have such martial arts. I'm afraid your inn is not a black shop!
"We are really indebted to you both today. This man's confession is very useful to us! I will definitely write an article about the merits of these two heroes in Dali Temple!"
Hearing these words, the two of them were filled with joy.
Lao Bai felt that his little treasure with the immunity gold medal was one step closer to him, while Xiucai seemed to see that his fame as a scholar was within reach.
…
After the two of them left happily, the discussion started again around the sand table in the military tent.
"Grand Governor, there is no way to hide a large-scale army and horses, and the food must not be fake. There is not much food in the granary of Zhuozhou County, and it cannot support the army for a long time."
Another general also affirmed, "Yes! Grand Governor! According to the intelligence collected by these expert spies these days, we will not encounter enemies from our current position to the bank of Baigou River."
The previously defeated troops of King Zhao's army had already reached Baigou River and began to cross the river. King Zhao's army obviously wanted to rely on Baigou River as a line of defense to block their offensive.
Zhao Tianlin also made this judgment based on the current intelligence, but out of caution, he did not order an immediate march. Instead, he used the sand table and the map to look for any place where the army could be hidden.
Their assault was too deep this time, and there were no friendly forces around to cooperate. If they were accidentally bypassed by King Zhao's elite cavalry, it would be troublesome. Perhaps this army of nearly 300,000 people would face the crisis of being annihilated, so they must be careful.
Be careful.
The generals in the tent saw that General Zhao frowned and did not continue to urge him. At this time, they could not disturb the coach's thinking.
Of course, although they didn't say it on the surface, some people still slandered Zhao Tianlin in their hearts.
The older they get, the less courageous they are. After the Battle of Yanmen, Zhao Wang's army was already frightened, their morale plummeted, and there was no possibility of taking the initiative to attack.
Now it is necessary to defeat King Zhao's rebel army in one fell swoop before the reinforcements arrive, or even annihilate their troops, in order to maximize the results of the battle.
Naturally, people have differences and opinions. If there are mature and prudent generals in a military camp, there will naturally be radical and ruthless generals.
But the opinions of these people cannot interfere with Zhao Tianlin's thinking now. The life and death of the 300,000-strong army are all in his hands. One wrong thought may cause the whole game to be lost. No matter how careful you are, it doesn't matter!
"There is a valley seventy miles northeast of our army, and there is a mountain valley sixty-five miles southeast of our army. At dawn tomorrow, we will send out rangers to investigate these four areas. After confirming that there is no ambush,
, the army sets out!"
Zhao Tianlin found all the places on the sand table and map where ambush might be hidden. He wanted to make sure that there were no threats behind him before fighting the main force of King Zhao's army.
…
On the first day, after confirming that there was no threat, the Pingjing Army continued to move forward.
In two days, Zhao Tianlin's 300,000-strong army continued to move north from Zhuozhou County. The leading troops arrived at the banks of the Baigou River at dusk, facing Zhao Wang's army on the other side of the river.
The actual distance between the two sides is less than ten miles, and the naked eye can see the other side's continuous camps and the rising smoke.
Zhao Tianlin's main army also arrived subsequently and set up camp on the banks of the Baigou River.
In any era, rivers have been a big trouble that hindered marches. It was not until the emergence of modern engineers from Pla that this trouble was solved.
But in the Great Zhou Dynasty, this was a thorny obstacle. For the defending Zhao Wangjun, it was called "geographical advantage"!
Although the morale of King Zhao's army was depleted due to the previous battle and it was difficult to cheer up, with the favorable location, it was not a big problem to hold on.
How to cross the river has become Zhao Tianlin's biggest problem now.
