Promotion and fortune in Song Dynasty

The head fell to the ground so quickly that it took a long time for the other soldiers of the Wansheng Battalion who had witnessed this scene to react.

The soldier who had just cared about the other party who suddenly squatted on the ground was even more frightened.

This……?

He originally wanted to report to the generals to know, but he never expected that Vice General Yang, who was always cold on the outside and hot on the inside, would directly throw a knife in his hand and kill him!

"It turns out that the consequences of delaying the march of the team are so serious."

I don't know who felt the lingering fear and sighed so sincerely.

For the time being, Yang Wenguang ignored the explanations to the stunned soldiers, and lightly kicked the head that was turned down with the inertia of the boot with the toe of his boot, and turned the frightened face back. Recognized: "Zhu Jiashiro?"

His father, Zhu Li, is a military officer of the fifth rank, but the children in the family are not very successful. Among them, Shiro, the most shameless, was kicked into this Wansheng camp.

Gao Jixuan heard the voice and came over: "Have you caught it?"

Yang Wenguang nodded slightly: "He wanted to open the box, but I caught him straight."

Since it was definitely the spy who hadn't run away, he didn't care to see who it was, so he slashed down without blinking, and let's talk about killing him.

"It turned out to be this grandson, no wonder he was so active, just to torment the moth."

Gao Jixuan recognized it easily with a casual glance, and laughed angrily on the spot: "In the initial selection, he was not counted, but he came to me for a few times, I think his ability is not bad, and he happened to be When a selected person was the only child in the family, he was appointed to replace him."

"So, you have to be more cautious in the future."

After Yang Wenguang replied without raising his head, he carefully picked up the silver box and asked, "Except for the three left on purpose, are you sure you didn't miss it?"

Before he asked the question, the dozen or so soldiers who had been selected earlier had quickly put away the other three silver boxes that were also left in the grass, and held them tightly in their arms: "Return to Vice General Yang, it's been taken away." alright."

Yang Wenguang said 'hmm': "Take it away."

As for the corpse of Zhu Jiashiro, it was left in the same place ruthlessly, and no one was willing to restrain it—from the conversation between Yang Gao and the two just now, even though the soldiers around were still confused at the beginning, they gradually came to terms with it. coming.

Wow, in their Wansheng camp, there are actually Xixia spies!

After all, after the generals, they have changed their appearance again, and they are eager to do meritorious service. For this kind of traitor who eats inside and outside, and everyone shouts and beats them, it would be good if they don't want to cut people alive. How can they be willing to keep the corpse for others?

The soldiers who were walking behind even spit on his corpse angrily, and stomped their feet fiercely, only then barely relieved their hatred.

"Damn it, Wansheng Camp's reputation has just completely improved in the past year or so, and it's been tricked by this bastard again!"

Someone really couldn't bear the anger in their hearts, and couldn't help cursing angrily.

"That's not it!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone was filled with righteous indignation: "Such a piece of mouse shit has to kill us so many times, so that there are fewer gossipers!"

"Okay." After Yang Wenguang finished disposing of the silver box, he came back and saw the excited scene. He couldn't help frowning and shouted: "Everyone is dead, who are you saying these things to? We shouldn't recite them." Naturally, the stigma of this will not fall on us, so we don’t have to think about it.”

Gao Jixuan: "..."

If Lao Yang had first removed the sole of his boot from the head of the spittle-stained fourth child of the Zhu family when he said this, perhaps he would have been more convincing.

And Lu Ci, who had successfully uncovered the spy in the team, had no worries, and successfully avoided the trap, immediately decided that he didn't need to stay in the dense forest anymore, but went back home.

Ten days have passed, and the group of craftsmen led by Brother Zhu should have successfully arrived at Houqiaochuan and started the construction of the city.

There is a distance of seven or eight days between the two places. He restrained this group of Xixia soldiers, and then he galloped towards Qinzhou City with all his strength, and he might still be able to delay it for a day or two. It was too late to go to Houqiaochuan after making a plan to strike east and west.

Even if they advance at full speed day and night, they may be able to barely reach the place, but when they reach the place, they are all at the end of their strength, and they will be defeated in one blow.

Lu Ci believed that if he really faced such an exhausted Xixia cavalry, Brother Zhu would be happy instead of worrying.

"Jiedu, what direction should we go next?"

Yang Wenguang was completely convinced by Lu Ci, and asked for instructions in a deep voice.

"March at full speed," Lu Ci said briskly, "return by the same route."

To get out of the dense water and river forest, considering their current location, it is natural that the Kawaguchi of Liupan Mountain is the closest.

It is conceivable that the Xixia soldiers who are waiting for a rabbit will definitely think so.

But what they didn't know was that Lu Ci's purpose was simply to contain them, and there was no so-called destination at all, so it didn't matter to Lu Ci whether they went out by a short cut.

Even if the Xixia soldiers could not wait for the signal for a long time, they suddenly realized that they wanted to go around the forest and return to the entrance where they came, but the speed was far behind that of the Song army who returned from the forest by the old road.

Yang Wenguang nodded without thinking, and immediately gave orders.

Lu Ci and his group turned back to the way they came in silently. After walking for almost two hours, when it was already dark, they suddenly heard a loud pigeon whistle and the sound of countless wings flapping from behind.

"What's that noise?" The soldiers of the Wansheng Battalion, who were busy on their way, were startled, turned their heads subconsciously, and squinted their eyes to distinguish for a long time: "...Pigeons? Where are there so many pigeons?"

Gao Jixuan, who only knew half of it but not all, was also stunned, and hurriedly asked Yang Wenguang, "Why didn't you throw away that box?"

He was not at all surprised that the thing hidden in the silver box was a pigeon: when he held the box in his hand, he felt that the weight was quite light, and he could faintly hear the flapping of the wings.

Since it is a living thing and has wings, it is naturally a bird.

As long as you figure this out, the sinister intentions of the Xixia army will become clear at a glance.

Where is the big bargain left by the caravan here? It is clearly a living signal for the Xixia army to launch an offensive!

Yang Wenguang opened his mouth, and before he had time to explain, he saw the smiling figure behind Gao Jixuan, and quickly bowed his head and said, "Jiedu."

"Shun Ju, you are wrong to blame Zhong Rong." Lu Ci said with a smile, "I told him to do this."

Xi Xia managed to catch so many live and alive Gu Gu Gu, how could they just waste all their hard work and not take advantage of it?

As long as some small mechanisms and a mud pool are added, the Xixia army can easily realize the joy of delaying unpacking.

A look of bewilderment flashed across Gao Jixuan's eyes, and then suddenly realized: "So that's how it is!"

This group of Song soldiers hadn't figured out what was going on with the flock of white pigeons flying suddenly, when they heard earth-shattering shouts of killing from outside the forest, and then a burst of flames burst out in the dim forest, and they rushed straight... Their long-distance white pigeons fluttered away.

Lu Ci blinked.

Ouch, hello, I really scared the baby to death.

"What are you doing in a daze!" Yang Wenguang yelled angrily, "Why don't you leave now?"

Everyone came back to their senses immediately, and now there was no need to tell them, they all stepped quickly.

When the morale of the Xixia Army rushed to nothing, and rummaged in the nearby woods in the dark for a while, and finally found nothing, they suddenly realized that they had been tricked.

However, at this time, the Song army had already returned safely along the road it came from, and disappeared from the Haoshuichuan dense forest without knowing where.

They chased them all the way, trying to find the traces of the horseshoes, but because Lu Ci's pedestrians have been going around all the time lately, it was in such a mess that they couldn't tell where they were going.

After such a delay, no one was seen completely.

——A few days ago, Lu Ci, who deliberately went fast and slow while walking them, was obviously conserving his energy, but did not show his real marching speed.

Thinking that General Ji Qianming's careful arrangement had become such a joke, the generals in charge of execution couldn't help but fell silent.

Just go back and return to life?

They looked at me, I looked at you, and looked at each other for a while, but no one said this.

Wasting so many days of hard work in vain, and being completely tricked... who would dare to go to General Ji and tell the truth.

It's better to stay out for a few more days, pretend to find someone, and pretend to be hardworking along the way, so that you can go back to work.

Anyway, looking at the scheming kid surnamed Lu, although he played a lot of tricks, it was just a waste of both parties' time, making them disgusting enough, and had no real lethality.

Thinking in this way, these Xixia generals reached a tacit agreement, divided their troops into several groups, and symbolically followed the direction of the horseshoes to search for them.

Ji Qianming, who was anxiously waiting for the news in Lingzhou City, didn't know the tricks the subordinates played to deal with him, let alone their audacity to wander outside deliberately, just to waste time.

When he heard that the Song army appeared in Houqiaochuan and built the city grandly, he was shocked and wanted to send troops to interfere, but he could only face the dilemma of having no soldiers to divide.

Of the mere 1 people under his command, [-], who are a little more useful, have been sent to intercept Lu Ci, and he hasn't come back yet, how dare he send all the people under his command to make Lingzhou change? Into a completely empty city!

The Han dog is full of intrigues and tricks, and he dares to attack Hou Qiaochuan's idea with his front foot, but who dares to say that he will not attack Lingzhou with his back foot?

After being furious, suspicious, and confused, Ji Qianming finally decided to send 2000 people to stop them, leaving [-] in Lingzhou City.

It's not that he doesn't know, sending only two thousand tired soldiers is probably a drop in the bucket, but Lingzhou... must not be lost!

Adding a Song army stronghold on Houqiaochuan will definitely make the king furious, and he can't bear to walk around; but if there is even the slightest mistake in the capital Lingzhou, he will be chopped up by the furious king on the spot.

Whether it is heavy or light, you can tell at a glance.

The result was just as Ji Qianming expected. When the two thousand Xixia soldiers he dispatched hastily arrived at Houqiaochuan exhausted, what they faced was a tall city wall that was too solid to be built in a hurry. ...the relentless rain of arrows.

The forwards who rushed to the front were the first to die, and the rest saw the situation was not good and fled on the spot.

Seeing them in such distress, the Song soldiers cheered on the city wall, and someone couldn't help but asked the relaxed Zhu, "Zhu Lushi, do you want to go after him?"

"Don't chase after the poor." Zhu said without hesitation: "It's enough to keep these."

Just like what brother Lu said... This is called sending goose feathers from thousands of miles away. The gift is light and the affection is heavy.
