Half an hour ago, the more than two thousand monk guards had protected Liu Huiwang's cloud chariot and withdrew to the south camp under the city wall, joining the remaining refugees.
Tens of thousands of people chanted Buddha's name like "Shuo Shuo Holy Fire, Dream of My Sinful Karma" for a while like crazy, and then suddenly there was no sound.
Not understanding what these idiots were doing, Li Chengzhi sent Tang Qi to explore closer.
According to the news from the city wall, countless rioters were kneeling around a cloud cart, and sitting on the cloud cart was a handsome monk in white, who was surprisingly Liu Huiwang...
It wasn't what Li Chengzhi guessed, but the cloud chariot was too close to the city, only fifty or sixty steps away. Not only were there sharp-eyed people on the top of the city, there were also many people who were familiar with Liu Huiwang...
But Huangfu Rang now said that Liu Huiwang had already followed Hu Qi and ran away, and his tone was so sure?
Huangfu Rang is cautious by nature. If he is not completely sure, he would never dare to speak so confidently...
Li Chengzhi took a deep breath: It seems that the one who escaped should be the real one.
This is also consistent with my previous guess: Since ancient times, 99% of the leaders of cults do not believe in religion or God.
It is probably related to the fact that the deeper you believe, the more abnormal your brain circuits are. For example, the more religious you are, the simpler your mind will be, and you will not be able to use sweet words to confuse people...
So this Liu Huiwang should have fled for his life long ago, how could he stay and die together?
Now that I think about it, it turns out there is a substitute...
What a good plan, you actually want to run away so easily?
What are you dreaming about in Spring and Autumn Period?
When he thought of those children who were disemboweled and disemboweled, Li Chengzhi felt as if oil had been added to ignite a fire, and overwhelming anger surged to his head...
He sneered, reached into his arms, took out a piece of order letter and handed it to his bodyguard: "Urgently order Huangfu to step aside, Li Feng, temporarily let go of Hu Qi, and only pursue Liu Huiwang... Even if you chase him to the end of the world, you still have to live to see someone.
I want to see the corpse if I die..."
Li Song looked puzzled: "Lang Jun, Liu Huiwang is among the Hu Qi. If you chase Liu Huiwang, wouldn't you be chasing Hu Qi?"
Where does the saying "let go of Hu Qi" come from?
"Li Song, use your brain?" Li Chengzhi said angrily, "Can Liu Huiwang still be Hu Qi's biological father? Knowing that Bai Qi is chasing only Liu Huiwang, he is really his biological father, and he will still give up when he has to..." As he spoke, he hurriedly explained to his guards: "I'd like to inform Huangfu Rang and Li Feng. When chasing, you might as well shout: Liu Huiwang, the dog thief, stay alive...and then make a desperate posture. The thief will naturally know how to do it."
Choose... After Liu Huiwang is captured, it won’t be too late to fight the rogue again..."
Hu Qi must be hunted down, and at least hundreds of corpses must be left behind. Otherwise, it would be difficult for the thousand white cavalry to fake their deaths...
"No!" the guard responded, took the order, and rode away.
However, Li Song felt that Li Chengzhi was a bit neglectful.
The previous plan was to find a way to have a sword-to-knife and gun-to-gun battle with the Hu Qi, and when the fight was about the same, they would let the remaining Hu Qi leave, and then make it look like the White Armored Army was defeated.
Then they will stick behind the remaining group of Hu Qi. If this group of Hu Qi can bypass Gaoping Town, the Baijia Army will naturally be able to follow them.
If they can't get around it, and take advantage of the Gaoping town army's encirclement and suppression of Hu Qi, the Baijia army will escape into Longshan...
The plan sounds simple, but its implementation is not that difficult: first, kill as many Hu Qi as possible and leave enough corpses for layout.
Second, the loss of the White Armored Army cannot be too great, otherwise it will be a loss of blood.
To put it bluntly, if they had not cheated their lives to escape, would this group of Hu Qi have escaped? At this time, Li Chengzhi and the Baijia Army had a rough relationship?
It is better to kill all the officers and soldiers...
But Li Chengzhi had a sudden idea. He had a better choice and a more secure plan, and he no longer had to fight with that gang of bullies. So Li Song couldn't figure it out. Why should he chase after Liu Huiwang just for him?
What if for this group of Hu Qi, there is a reason and value to protect Liu Huiwang, and he will not give up even if he lives or dies?
Just for Liu Huiwang, how many people would have to die in Bai Qi?
Li Chengzhi definitely didn't want to capture and kill Liu Huiwang, and he wanted to make great achievements.
We are already preparing to rebel against the imperial court. If we say such things again, wouldn’t it be just like a joke?
Then it can only be that Li Chengzhi feels guilty for deceiving and taking advantage of Hu Baozong, and wants to help him catch Liu Huiwang to compensate...
Li Song stole a glance at Li Chengzhi and asked cautiously: "Lang Jun, if you just want to save the Hu family from trouble, isn't it a bit worthless?"
Li Chengzhi cursed coldly: "You know nothing..."
When it comes to compensating Hu Baozong, there are indeed some thoughts.
There are many thoughts of building a base for Shu, but Li Chengzhi’s main purpose is not to let the Hu family fall too quickly.
As long as the Hu family survives for the time being, in order to avoid guilt, Hu Shichang, Hu Hai, and maybe even Hu Guozhen, who is far away in Luoyang, will 100% protect Li Chengzhi and find a way to make his first contribution to quell the chaos.
So as long as Li Chengzhi is willing, he can tightly tie the Hu family and himself into the same boat.
At that time, Xi Kangsheng will have to think carefully. Is it worth it to offend the Anding Hu family and the uncle of the country just to deal with a little person like Li Chengzhi for a little baseless speculation?
As for things like betrayal, ingratitude, etc., the Hu family will definitely do it because they don't want to offend the emperor's cronies like Xi Kangsheng for the sake of Li Chengzhi.
But at least we have to wait until the Jingzhou Rebellion has completely subsided and the conclusion can be made whether Hu Shichang and the Hu family had a past or whether they had meritorious deeds.
Even if it is shorter, it will be at least a few months or even a year later.
Who can say accurately what the situation will be like?
It all depends on people...
"Why are there so many problems?" Li Chengzhi glared and cursed, "You do what I say..."
Li Song was obviously scolded, but instead of being annoyed, Li Song was happy. The usually steady person suddenly smiled playfully: "Yes, yes, the husband is right, everything is right..."
This scolding just shows that Lang Jun's heart has not changed towards him, otherwise it would be replaced by gentle words...
After returning to the formation, the two separated on the spot. Li Chengzhi returned to the formation, allowing the Chinese army to continue to retreat, and directly withdrew to the camp.
As soon as they entered the stronghold, each battalion received military orders to return to their respective camps.
The generals and soldiers all believed that whether they were defending or fighting, they would all be handed over to the Cheying camp...
Outside the camp, three thousand armored soldiers were busy non-stop:
Some of them were carrying dead bodies, and the ones selected were the more than 10,000 elite rebels led by Li Wenxiao.
Not only are these corpses fully hairy, but they are all strong and strong, and their body shapes are no different from those of white-armored soldiers.
Whenever a corpse is carried onto the car, the soldiers on the car will strip it naked, put on the fine linen middle coat of the White Armor Army, and then put on the inner seam of wooden boards and the outer layer of rough hemp wooden armor.
If you just look at it with the naked eye, it is no different from white hemp steel armor. And Li Chengzhi has made tens of thousands of such wooden armors before.
These things were originally his plan to use to deceive others when he started his army.
Including Zhang Jingzhi and Yang Shu at this time, they all thought that the so-called thousands of white-armored knights and tens of thousands of white-armored soldiers were just Li Chengzhi's claims. As for the specific number of the knights, these two really didn't know.
You know, a blind guess may be one or two thousand or two or three thousand, but at most it will not exceed three thousand...
The only one who knows something clearly is Hu Baozong, an outsider.
But Li Chengzhi firmly believed that Hu Baozong would never reveal it to anyone.
This has nothing to do with trust or distrust, just because for Hu Baozong, Li Chengzhi at this time has become a life-saving straw to stabilize the Hu family...
Before you know it, the sun is gradually setting towards the west, and it is approaching Unity Time (5 pm), and it will be dark within an hour at most.
By then, that is when Li Chengzhi launched...
Watching the vans gradually emptying and filling up again, Li Chengzhi felt more and more settled.
As long as you escape this disaster, from now on you will be like "the sea is wide enough for fish to leap, and the sky is high enough for birds to fly..."
Thinking about it is like having a dream!
How long had it ever occurred to you that you would one day rebel?
Just as I was sighing, I suddenly heard a whistle.
In an instant, as if time had stopped, there was a sudden silence between heaven and earth.
Those who moved corpses, those who changed clothes, and those who put armor on the dead, all stopped what they were doing and stared in the direction where the whistle came from in confusion.
It's the south... officers and soldiers are coming?
Let alone being seen with one's own eyes, if even a hint of the scene here is revealed, 90% of them, let alone escaping, will be wiped out by officers and soldiers, or even the fate of the three clans implicated.
Without it, anyone who is not a fool can guess their purpose of dressing and armoring these corpses...
Li Chengzhi felt something in his heart and raised his eyes to look.
The person who came seemed to be Li Shi, but he was stopped by Li Liang, who was in charge of guarding the perimeter.
Li Chengzhi raised the yellow flag and shook it vigorously, meaning to let Li Liang let him go.
The distance of one mile was just around the corner. In the blink of an eye, Li Shi rode his horse to the gate of the village.
"Lang Jun, Li Yun is here, and all the officers and soldiers, numbering fifteen thousand... were stopped by Captain Hu..."
"All fifteen thousand are here?" Li Chengzhi looked suspicious.
An hour has passed since the armistice. Li Yun must have suspected it a long time ago and should have come.
What is strange to Li Chengzhi is that Li Yun did not send troops to surround the camp, but all stopped five miles south?
He subconsciously stretched his head and looked south.
But it's a full five miles away. Unless it's an explosion or something, if the movement is not big, you can't even see the smoke.
This is also the reason why Li Chengzhi asked Hu Baozong to stop the attack five miles away, and also strictly ordered Li Shi not to let even a bird fly over within five miles...
"It is true that we did not see officers and soldiers surrounding the camp!" Li Shi replied. "I saw that the officers and soldiers were still far away, so I sent Tangqi to explore the northwest sides. But by the time I came to report to Lang Jun, the camp was thirty
Within a few miles, except for Huangfu Rang's command cavalry and the scattered Hu cavalry, there were no officers or soldiers to scout or range the cavalry..."
Li Chengzhi was a little confused.
Why is it not as expected?
Xi Kangsheng even sent out detailed work, rewarded officials and nobles, bribed his generals, and the army even sneaked near the camp, with a posture of "I'm here to deal with you", which was no different from being torn apart.
.
If it were Li Chengzhi, even if he did not surround the camp, he would at least send out scouts to explore the perimeter in case the Baijia Battalion set up an ambush in advance to ambush the officers and soldiers.
But Li Shi said that the officers and soldiers didn't even send scouts?
So what does Li Yun mean?
Did you bring 15,000 soldiers to watch the show?
The more Li Chengzhi thought about it, the weirder he felt. After thinking for a while, Li Rui called Li Song over.
"How many are installed?"
"Two thousand and fifty-six already..."
"You don't have to pretend to have three thousand, it's not a big deal if it's a few hundred short..." Li Chengzhi explained, "Let the car camp return to the formation and let Li Liang be on tight guard... You keep an eye on this place, I'll go take a look...
...If anything happens, I will send Li Shi to give you an order..."
Li Song wondered: "Is it too early for Lang Jun to meet Li Yun now?"
"We definitely won't meet in person!" Li Chengzhi replied, "I just feel something is strange: Li Yun doesn't seem to have any intention of taking the initiative... It may also be because Zhang Sima and Yanrong tried their best to mediate..."
Li Chengzhi muttered, "It would be best if we don't fall out. At the worst, we have to wait until nightfall for you to escape before falling out... At least you don't have to pretend to be a rebel and attack Li Yun's defense line..."
The white-armored soldiers who carried the corpse were not only changing clothes and armor for the corpse, but also picked up part of the rebel's clothes and weapons, and even took off some monk's clothes and brought them back.
This is to prepare for the fact that if there are officers and soldiers blocking the road or pursuing them, white-armored soldiers will pretend to be rebels or refugees to open the way.
Li Song secretly sighed: It would be better if he could coax the officers and soldiers to fall into Liu Huiwang's trap...
The husband is good at everything, but he is a little forward-thinking and has a bit of womanly kindness.
Even if we want to rebel, the time has not yet come...
Lang Jun has so many earth-shaking methods, what time does he need?
Li Song was just thinking about it in his heart, how could he dare to say it out loud, so he just responded respectfully.
Li Chengzhi went down to the watchtower, changed into a mask with a mask that could cover his face, pretended to be Li Shi's Tangqi, and headed south...
