Chapter 148
The mobilization of the soldiers and horses of the scholars finally broke the long-standing silence of Jiaozhou.

Because of Yuan Yao's arrival, this last peaceful place of the big man was finally involved in the flames of war.

Outside Hepu City, Shi Xie, dressed in military uniform, sat in the center of the Chinese army. Beside him, the children of the Shi family sat beside him according to their seniority.

Civil and military generals are gathered together.

Among them are many famous people who took refuge in Jiaozhou in the Central Plains, such as Yuan Wei, Heng Shao, Zhang Min, Cheng Bing and others.

The scene in exile, Muli, is also sitting there impressively.

Beside them, there were three extremely majestic Yueren, chatting and laughing wantonly with the two of them as if no one else was there.

Everyone present, not only did not reprimand, but acquiesced.

These three people are the leaders of the Yue people who helped Shi Xie this time, but they are brothers of three blood relatives.

It is a descendant of Zheng's family.The two female ancestors of his ancestors once led the uprising of the Yue people, and they were extremely supported by the Yue people.Therefore, when Shi Xie decided to send troops, the first thing he thought of was to invite Zheng Shi as reinforcements.

And these three people are the leading figures of the generation of the Yue clan in the Zheng family.Even if they met Shi Xie, they would at most surrender, so how dare others say more.

The generals of the army came one after another.

Shi Xie coughed.All the people who were discussing in low voices stopped talking, raised their eyes and ears, and pretended to be listening.

Even an arrogant person like Qu Jing, intimidated by Shi Xie's name, behaved well.

Shi Xie nodded in satisfaction, first he signaled to the three brothers of the Zheng family, and then said: "Nanhai and Cangwu counties originally belonged to my Jiaozhou, but now Yuan Yao entrusts an imperial edict with the intention of encroaching on Jiaozhou. Thinking of yourself as an official, you should protect the environment and the people, how can you allow Yuan Yaoru to do anything wanton? I summoned you today, it is not because I use weapons rashly, I really have no choice but to do it, you must also work hard sincerely to help me win! "

All the generals stood awe-inspiring and shouted in unison: "I wish to follow the order of the Shifu Lord!"

Yuan Wei also got up and said: "Yuan Yao is aggressive, greedy for an inch of land, and put the people in the water and fire. My lord should go to the court, list Yuan Yao's crimes, and then march into the South China Sea, so as to occupy justice!"

Zhang Min also remonstrated: "Jiaozhou has been in peace for a long time, and now there is a sudden military disaster. I am afraid that the people everywhere will be uneasy. My lord should write everywhere, first to condemn Yuan Yao's crimes, because the teacher is famous, and second, to calm the hearts of the people and make him Don't be seduced by Yuan Yao!"

The opinions of civil and military were unanimous, and Shi Xie was also happy in his heart. He immediately ordered Cheng Bing to draft a letter, select the brisk knight, and pass it on to various places. He also ordered Yuan Wei to submit a letter, listing Yuan Yao's crimes. Shi Yi guards Hepu, and Shi Wu invites himself to be the vanguard, leading [-] troops, leading the district Jingmuli, and heading to the South China Sea. The three Zheng brothers, the eldest Zheng Luo, and the second Zheng Jian also brought five thousand The warriors of the tribe went first with Shiwu, and the third son Zhengmin led the remaining [-] warriors of the tribe, together with Shi Xie's central army, and then responded.There are also soldiers, as the rear army, to escort the army food.

The army along this road is mighty and mighty, crossing counties every township, stretching for several miles, passing by endlessly in one day.The spies learned that they quickly reported to the South China Sea.

At this time, Yuan Yao was still arranging defenses in Nanhai City.Hearing the movement of Shi Xie's army, he hurriedly summoned all the generals and climbed to the top of the city together.

Sure enough, I saw smoke and dust billowing dozens of miles away from the city, and it was obvious that a large number of soldiers and horses were coming here.Not long after, the smoke and dust got closer and closer, and saw a large group of infantry, galloping towards the city of Nanhai, and stopped a thousand meters away.

The first person, with a sallow face and a swollen beard, saw the commander flag fluttering in the city, many generals gathered together and pointed at them.

He couldn't help turning his head and asked Qu Jing, "Which one of those people is Yuan Yao?"

Ou Jing looked around and said with some uncertainty, "The person in white in the middle must be Yuan Yao."

Shi Wu was overjoyed, and said to the generals behind him: "Since Yuan Yao is here, I will try my best to go forward and lure him out to fight, and also show the bloodiness of my Jiaozhou man!"

With a loud shout, all the generals stepped forward with their soldiers and horses, and approached the place where the arrows shot outside the city gate.

Shiwu leaped out of the battle, Ma Qiang pointed at the top of the city and shouted loudly: "Which one on the city is Yuan Yao, come out and talk to me!"

He yelled three times in a row, but there was no response at all.

Shi Wu was furious, feeling slighted, shouted again: "Son Yuan Yao, Shi Wu is here, how dare you come out and fight!"

He yelled three more times, but there was still no response from the city.

The enemy troops outside the city were all laughing loudly.

They all thought that the defenders in the city were scared out of their wits and dared not show their faces.

Shi Wu yelled for a while, his throat was full of smoke, and he didn't see anyone to talk to, so he became more proud, and shouted loudly: "Boy of the Yuan family, if you are afraid, just open the door and surrender obediently, I am kind." , Look at you poor, maybe I can spare your life!"

When everyone heard it, they laughed in unison, even in the city, they could hear it clearly.

It's just strange that there was still no movement on the city, and even the soldiers at the top of the city disappeared one by one.

There was a deathly silence, only the solitary laughter of these people echoed all the time, unconsciously, the laughing enemy soldiers felt anxious and felt a strange atmosphere.

It's more uncomfortable than hitting the air with a punch with all your strength.

Especially Qu Jing and Mu Li, who had really seen Yuan Yao's army's formidable combat power, it was impossible to believe that Yuan Yao would be too scared to show up because of a vanguard.

The more I thought about it, the more suspicious I became, especially in the face of such a rude provocation from Shiwu, let alone a reaction from the city leader, even if there was not a single retort, this is too suspicious.

Shi Wu yelled for a while, but also became suspicious, turned his horse's head hastily, came to Qu Jing's side, and asked with some doubts: "What the hell is this Yuan Yao doing?"

Qu Jing gave a wry smile, and thought to himself that I'm not Yuan Yao, how could I know what he was thinking, but on his face, Qu Jing looked serious thinking, hesitatingly said: "No matter what Yuan Yao is, we just need to be careful, If it doesn’t change, it’s going to change.”

Glaring at Qu Jing, he was at his wit's end, when the sentry soldiers rushed over and shouted: "General, Yuan Yao is having a banquet at the east gate with the general."

"what?"

Shi Wu suspected that he had misheard, grabbed the pawn and shouted sharply: "You can see clearly, it's really Yuan Yao himself?"

The pawn's face turned pale, he was terrified by Shi Wu's ferocious appearance, he stammered and said: "That's right, up... the one above is indeed Yuan Yao himself, handsome... this subordinate saw the handsome flag with his own eyes."

Shi Wu was furious, and threw away the pawn at once. Ma Qian pointed and shouted: "Yuan Yao, you are so rude! You guys follow me!"

After finishing speaking, he clamped his horse's belly and walked around the city.

Ou Jingmuli wanted to stop him, but whoever listened to them left angrily.

Obviously, everyone felt insulted.

Especially Shi Wu, when he thought of how he foolishly ran to the edge of the city to show off his power just now, his face was full of fever, especially in front of so many people. It can be said that Yuan Yao gave him an extremely embarrassing dismount as soon as he came up. , This makes soldiers who are used to high positions, how to hang on their faces.

Fortunately, this time, Yuan Yao was at the east gate, and did not let Shiwu Zai lose his mind. However, even though Yuan Yao was on the top, he didn't intend to talk to Shiwu. A water mat was set up on the table, and everyone drank to their heart's content. It was so lively, completely ignoring the army outside.

Shi Wu was even more furious, secretly thinking that you, Yuan Yao, had a good plan and wanted to see my jokes, now I will let you know what it means to be unhappy!Thinking of this, Shi Wu ordered 50 of his subordinates with loud voices to stand in front and began to shout loudly.

However, before these people spoke, Gan Ning got his idea, immediately got up from the table, took off his long spear, shot an arrow to the outside of the city, and an enemy soldier was about to yell.

I just felt a chill in my chest, "Ah!" I fell to the ground with a sound, and I saw that I was no longer alive.

Everyone outside the city was shocked, but before they could react, there was another continuous sound of bowstrings, and the three people in front fell to the ground, leaving blood on the ground.

The rest of the soldiers were frightened one after another, rolling and crawling, and ran back.

Shi Wu's face turned pale, and he clicked his tongue inwardly. To be able to kill with one arrow at such a long distance, it takes such superb bow skills to be able to do it. At least in his cognition, such bow skills, It can already be described as miraculous.

On the city tower, when they saw Gan Ning showing his power, the soldiers cheered in unison, even Yu Chigong, a jealous and conceited person, admired him sincerely, even he couldn't guarantee to shoot someone at such a long distance, let alone It was a one-shot kill.

Yuan Yao also filled a glass of wine at the right time, handed it to Gan Ning, and said with a smile, "It's amazing, even Li Guang's resurrection is nothing more than that!"

Gan Ning took the wine glass with both hands and drank it down.

There was also a hint of excitement in his eyes.

Seeing this, Yuchi Gong was eager to win, he also left the table and knelt down and said: "Now the morale of the enemy army has fallen, so I would like to invite three thousand soldiers to go out of the city to defeat the enemy!"

Cheng Yaojin standing next to him hurriedly stood up and shouted: "I would also like to lead three thousand soldiers and go out of the city to kill the enemy!"

Yu Chigong was furious, and argued: "I said this first, no matter what, I should go out and kill the enemy!"

Not to be outdone, Gan Ning said provocatively, "I don't need 2000, just [-] horsemen, and I promise to kill the enemy outside."

Yu Chigong simply stood up and shouted: "You want two thousand, I only need one thousand!"

Both of them refused to admit defeat easily, they just stared and refused to give in to each other.

Seeing that the atmosphere was tense, Yuan Yao hurriedly stopped, stretched out his hand and said: "You can't do this, you two are my confidant generals, there are plenty of opportunities to make meritorious deeds, why lose your temper because of a small fish?"

Yu Chigong was still not convinced, he cupped his hands and said: "It's not that I have to struggle, it's just that things always come first, then come first, right? Since I ask for orders, shouldn't others snatch them?"

Cheng Yaojin also stiffened his neck, widened his eyes and said: "A man should go to the battlefield, fight hard, stay in the city all the time, not just idle and panic!"

Yu Chigong said loudly: "It's not as good as you and I fighting before the battle, whoever wins will go!"

Cheng Yaojin's tone was stagnant, his face darkened, and he said angrily: "No one in the army knows you, and if you fight, you will die, and whoever fights with you will be unlucky!"

"That's why you are inferior to others!"

Yuchi Gong was complacent, as if Cheng Yaojin was praising him.

Everyone laughed, and it was Yuan Yao who decided: "You two should fight together, it's just that you are on the battlefield, don't worry about it!"

The two were overjoyed, although they couldn't take the credit alone, they still had some regrets, but they still rushed down the tower to gather soldiers and horses.

At this time, the soldiers who had seen Gan Ning's bow and arrow had long been frightened and wanted to retreat, but because they suddenly saw that there seemed to be a quarrel in the city, he stopped curiously and wanted to take a look. after all.

It was this delay that doomed Shiwu's tragedy.

Before he had time to restrain the dead soldiers, he saw the gate of Nanhai City suddenly opened, and then, a big army horse rushed out, judging by the number of people, there were three thousand, and Yuchi Gong rushed out first, with a big mouth Shouted: "Which one is a soldier, quickly stretch your neck and die!"

A black charcoal man dared to utter wild words, and he still wanted to kill himself by name. Shiwu also had a fiery temper, so he was angry at that time, and he drew his horse and was about to go forward to fight.

Besides, with so many subordinates watching now, if he becomes a bear, he will become a laughing stock.

Jiaozhou is martial arts, but it is not as fancy as the Central Plains.

However, Shi Wu hadn't made a move yet, but a horse rushed out from behind and shouted loudly: "Where did the nigger come from, dare to speak wild words, let me kill you!"

But Qu Jing saw that Yu Chigong was dark and normal, and he also thought of being defeated by Yuan Yao twice, which aroused his anger, and wanted to kill a general of Yuan Yao, expressing his anger.

Seeing Yuchi Gongruo, he yelled "Good time" to cheer up, and also waved his double whips, and went forward.

As soon as they fought each other, Qu Jing regretted it. Yu Chigong's martial arts are all the kind of killing moves with chaotic rules and death, and the speed is so fast that it is hard to guard against.

After only ten rounds of fighting, Qu Jing was sweating wildly, his hands and feet were sore and weak, and he had already shown signs of defeat.

When Mu Li saw him, he shouted angrily, and urged his horses to come out of the battle, using a mace to attack.

When Cheng Yaojin saw it, his eyes lit up, and he rushed from the side to stop Muli.

Xi said: "So it's you, don't leave, today we will have a winner!"

Muli was in a hurry, swept his mace, fended off Cheng Yaojin, and was about to save Qu Jing, Cheng Yaojin caught up from behind, slashed down with his long knife, and went to the horse's head, Muli had no choice but to turn the horse around Head, can only resist while shouting: "Brother Zheng, help me!"

Before the words were finished, two fast horses rushed out of the army of soldiers, Zheng Luo raised his head and shouted, "Don't panic, Brother Qu, I'll help you!"

Zheng Jian used a pair of pumpkin hammers, and followed closely, but he didn't make a move, but stood aside for a while.

On the top of the city, Qin Qiong slapped the table and shouted: "If you want to fight with wheels, you can't think about it!"

After asking Yuan Yao for instructions, Qin Qiong raised the golden double mace and rushed out of the city gate.

Seeing Qin Qiong's viciousness, Zheng Jian, who was watching the battle, also swung Qin Qiong's hammer and grabbed Qin Qiong to fight, shouting: "Good job, I was worried that no one would kill you, but you are the fat that came to your door!"

This area Jingzheng Luo Shuang fought against Wei Chigong, Yuchi Gong was happy and fearless, relying on his own martial arts, he showed it to the fullest, fighting only [-] rounds, Zheng Luo also broke out in a cold sweat, Yuchi Gong's reckless spirit, really It was scary, and with his high equestrian skills, Zheng Luo was an extremely majestic man, but he felt a little helpless.

Cheng Yaojin and Muli are also old rivals, and when they first came up, they fought head-to-head without any fancy.

Who knew that in all sword techniques, imposing manner is the most important, Muli's method, but Cheng Yaojin became more and more courageous as he fought, there were more than forty bouts in the fight, Muli was timid,
Shi Wu was even more startled, and hurriedly called Jin, Qu Jing couldn't hold it anymore, and when he heard Jin Ming, he was the first to run back.

Mu Li also swayed his stick, and pulled his horse away.

This is a pain for the Zheng brothers, Zheng Luo was entangled by Yu Chigong and couldn't escape.

Zheng Jian was also chased by Qin Qiong and ran all over the ground, not daring to fight.

Shiwu had no choice but to lead the troops himself, and rushed forward. Yuchi Gongcheng took advantage of the lack of gold soldiers, and hurriedly retreated into the formation, and the two armies fought in a melee.

All of a sudden, above the city gate, the war drums blared, and Gan Ning took the lead, rushing out with a large number of soldiers and horses.

While running, he drew his bow and set his arrows, and shot everywhere. Many enemy soldiers on horseback fell off their horses in response.

The soldier's martial spirit was not possessed, so he hurriedly abandoned his horse and fled for his life among the pawns.

The other generals followed suit, abandoning their horses and walking on foot.Gan Ning lost sight of his target, so he had no choice but to raise his gun and fight forward.

Yu Chigong and Cheng Yaojin also led their troops forward and chased them ten miles away. When they saw the dust all over the sky in the distance, they knew that Shi Xie's army had arrived, so the three gathered the victorious soldiers and returned to the city together.

Shi Wu and the others fled in embarrassment and were in danger. Seeing the smoke and dust in the distance, they also knew that the Chinese army had arrived.

The counterattack failed, and many of his subordinates were lost for no reason. Shiwu could only gather his soldiers with a sad face, and went to see Shixie together.

At this time, Shi Xie had just led his troops here, and before he had time to set up camp, he heard the news of Shi Wu's defeat, and hurriedly led people forward to respond.

Shi Wu was even more ashamed, especially in front of many colleagues, he really wished he could find a way to sneak in.

Fortunately, Shi Xie did not pursue Shi Wu's crimes.Just ordered the army to choose a dangerous place to set up a camp and build fortifications.

In Nanhai City, Yuan Yao was still drinking with everyone in the tower.

He was not surprised that Yu Chigong and others won.He just smiled at Li Ji and said, "Isn't it a good trick for me to dismount?"

Li Ji smiled wryly, shook his head and said: "At one point, it will be exhausted, and then it will be exhausted. Although the lord's strategy is a trick, after all, violent people like soldiers and warriors are easy to be fooled."

"Could it be that my strategy can only be played by fools like Shiwu?"

Yuan Yao argued unconvinced.

Under Yuan Yao's malicious gaze, Li Ji's scalp was numb, and he could only say against his will: "My lord, this strategy is exquisite, and it is difficult for others to guard against it."

"Well said, it's rare for you to tell the truth."

Yuan Yao narrowed his eyes, very satisfied with Li Ji's evaluation.

Secretly thought, this occasionally still needs to be flattered by his subordinates, otherwise he will always come up with a blunt remonstrance, even if he is a big nerve, this will also damage his self-confidence, isn't it?
Li Ji's face turned darker, he curled his lips behind his back, and changed the subject, "We won for a while today, but we still have to be prepared for Shi Xie's attack on the city at night."

"Impossible, the spies reported that although Shi Xie's central army has arrived, food, grass and equipment are still behind. The situation is unknown, and rashly dispatching will only increase casualties." Liu Shang said with a frown.

Li Ji smiled, pointed outside the city, and said, "Shi Xie doesn't know the situation in the South China Sea, but someone knows."

"By the way, there are also district views!"

Yuan Yao slapped his head and came to his senses. After all, Qu Jing has been running the South China Sea for many years, and he knows the situation in the South China Sea like the palm of his hand.Even if there is some kind of existence in the hidden tunnel, it is not impossible.

Just at this time, Gan Ning and others withdrew their troops and returned to the city. In addition to recording their contributions, they ordered the soldiers to rest in batches.
