Zhao Ming felt angry when he saw Yang Xuan and Princess Lizhu standing beside him.
Damn it, you can't do either of the two things.
There were a thousand cavalry, but they couldn't even break through the camp of only 400 people?
"Master Zhao led troops to surround my camp, what do you mean?"
Yang Xuan was seen pressing the hilt of the knife with his eyes slightly narrowed. The guards beside him were all covered in blood, and there was undisguised murderous intent in their eyes.
A thought flashed through Zhao Ming's mind.
Or simply attack with troops and wipe out Yang Xuan in one go.
However, he also thought that there was Princess Lizhu next to him. Moreover, these subordinates behind him were not private soldiers after all. They would definitely be missed by the higher authorities, so he had no choice but to give up this plan.
Finally, he handed over his hands and said: "Master Yang, don't be nervous. I received news that a group of Wara cavalry sneaked into the vicinity of Ganzhou City, so I led my troops to investigate. Seeing Master Yang's behavior, could it be that he has encountered the Wara cavalry?
?”
Yang Xuan sneered: "I didn't meet the Wala people, but I met one of my own."
"One of our own?" Zhao Ming frowned: "What do you mean?"
Yang Xuan gestured to the side, and Lu Yue picked up a body and threw it over: "Master Zhao, you can see for yourself."
Without Zhao Ming dismounting, someone immediately stepped forward to check, and then reported back: "Mr. Zhao, although this man is wearing the attire of a Wala man, he should be from Dasheng."
How could Zhao Ming not know who he was, but now he could only act.
"Is there such a thing?" Zhao Ming frowned: "Could it be that the Wala people bribed the bandits..."
Yang Xuan squinted at Zhao Mingyan. Although he knew that the other party was pretending, he had no evidence.
"There are such powerful bandits near Ganzhou City. I'm afraid Mr. Zhao's defense is somewhat incompetent."
Yang Xuan blocked Zhao Ming with just one sentence. Zhao Ming just made a random excuse, but was caught by Yang Xuan. In a flash of thought, he defended himself: "Who knows where these bandits come from?"
, even if it came from other places, it’s unknown.”
Yang Xuan pressed forward step by step: "Since he came here on the run, how did Mr. Zhao get the news?"
Zhao Ming rolled his eyes: "Of course the patrol scouts discovered it and reported it to me."
Yang Xuan sneered. It's a good thing that this guy didn't defend himself. Once he defended himself, Yang Xuan became more certain that Zhao Ming did this. Otherwise, how could it have happened by such a coincidence.
However, there was no way to turn away at this time, Yang Xuan simply handed over: "Then I have thanked Mr. Zhao for your help?"
There was no hint of gratitude in Yang Xuan's expression, and Zhao Ming did not want to dwell on it any longer. A thousand private soldiers were killed and fled in all directions. He had to go back and deal with this matter quickly.
"Master Yang, you don't have to be polite. Since Master Yang and the princess are fine, I will take my leave." Zhao Ming said: "I just hope that next time Master Yang goes out of the city for business, it would be better to inform me first. After all, I am not a second-rate officer."
It always comes in such a timely manner.”
Oh, this guy dared to beat him up. Just when Yang Xuan was about to get angry, Lizhu on the side spoke first.
"Sir Zhao, I went to Wutoubao to discuss military secrets with the Admiral. Naturally, it was inconvenient for me to leak the information. I just didn't expect that Ganzhou City would be intercepted halfway under the watch of Mr. Zhao. I have no idea about this matter.
I will inform my father and express my dissatisfaction to Emperor Dasheng."
Zhao Ming can worry about Yang Xuan's words, but Lizhu's words are very lethal.
The princess actually wants to complain to the emperor. Even if the emperor does not punish her in the end, the family will not let her go. Zhao Mo is already on top of her. If she causes trouble again, she will definitely not be the leader of the clan in the future.
Yes.
Besides, I wanted to marry the princess. Now that the princess has such a bad impression of me, wouldn't it be impossible to marry the princess?
Zhao Ming knew that all his chances of making a comeback depended on the princess. As long as he could marry the princess, he would be the next clan leader.
So he quickly bowed and saluted: "Princess, please don't be angry. I have neglected my duty. To express my apology, I will personally escort the princess to Wutubao."
Killing two birds with one stone, as long as the princess agrees, won't this give you more opportunities to get in touch with the princess?
Zhao Ming felt proud, but the next moment, the princess rejected him: "Then there is no need to trouble Mr. Zhao."
"Princess, Ganzhou City is already the front line. There are many enemy troops here. We may be attacked by enemy troops at any time. It's better for me to protect the Princess."
Zhao Ming also wanted to scare Livhu, but Livhu didn't give him a chance at all: "Mr. Zhao, my trip to Wutoubao is confidential. I'm afraid it will be inconvenient for Mr. Zhao to go with me."
Yang Xuan added next to him: "Could it be that Mr. Zhao wants to inquire about military secrets?"
Zhao Ming couldn't bear this big hat, and his face suddenly became ugly, so he could only hold his hands away: "The princess misunderstood, I am just worried about the safety of the princess, since the princess does not need to be escorted, then I will
I’ll take my leave now.”
Although he was unwilling to give in, what else could Zhao Ming do?
At dawn, the team set off again and arrived at Wutoupu by noon.
When Chen Changqing saw Yang Xuan, he was shocked.
"What's going on?"
"Xiaguan was attacked by thieves on the way. Thirty-four of the guards were killed and the rest were injured." Yang Xuan handed over his hand: "Please also ask the Admiral to make the decision for Xiaguan."
Chen Changqing was stunned: "How can there be such a large enemy force in the rear? Who did it?"
"Xiaguan didn't know that the enemy's Qianqi raided Xiaguan's camp. The dead were all Dasheng people, but they were dressed like Wala people."
Chen Changqing's eyes narrowed. He didn't need Yang Xuan to speak, but he also suspected that it was the Zhao family. After all, no one in this place except the Zhao family could have so many men. They were cavalry, and not everyone could afford them.
.
You must know that Chen Changqing was in charge of an army of 100,000 people, and he only had 5,000 cavalrymen. He used thousands of cavalrymen to intercept and kill the supervisory troops. This was such a huge feat.
Not to mention that no one else could do it in Shaanzhou Prefecture. Even if they could afford it, how could they pass through Ganzhou City and reach between the two armies.
"I will definitely give Mr. Yang an explanation for this matter."
Chen Changqing said: "Master Yang, go down and rest first. I will discuss the military aircraft matters with Princess Lizhu first."
Just as Yang Xuan was about to leave, Lizhu stepped forward and saluted: "Admiral, there is no need to hide this matter from Master Yang. My king and Emperor Dasheng both agree that Master Yang can participate in it."
Yang Xuan was immediately stunned, thinking to himself, what does your discussion of military matters have to do with me? Why did you hook me up?
Isn't this purely exploitation?
Chen Changqing looked at Yang Xuan with an ambiguous expression: "Since it is the emperor's wish, I would like to ask Mr. Yang to spare no effort to discuss military affairs together."
Yes, this is a young man who was caught.
…
On the other side, Zhao Ming, who returned to Ganzhou City, went to find Zhao Mo immediately. Thousands of cavalry and a convoy of 400 people were attacked at night, but they were killed and fled. What on earth did these people do?
However, Zhao Mo's face was even uglier than his.
"One thousand fine cavalry, two hundred and thirteen people died in the battle, and the cavalry commander was also killed on the spot. I'm afraid it will be difficult to explain this matter to the clan."
"What on earth is going on? Can we still win this battle?"
"Now is not the time to pursue the case, we have to deal with the consequences first."
Zhao Ming let out a sigh of relief and sat down on the chair: "What else can I do? I'll give the pension to those who deserve it. It depends on how the clan will punish us."
Zhao Mo glanced at Zhao Ming, and the cold look in his eyes flashed away: "This is not a matter of punishment from the clan. This matter has caused such a big fuss, I'm afraid the emperor will also be blamed. I advise you, or
Take the initiative to plead guilty."
Zhao Ming suddenly stood up and stared at Zhao Mo: "You want me to plead guilty?"
