Great Han Arrow God

Chapter 178
"Your Highness, no." Jing Zhao stood up and stopped Liu Ju.He said solemnly: "I think General Yu Shan's choice is more appropriate. Evacuating from the land is not only slow, but also may be pursued. Kuaiji soldiers are not a concern. What if Dongou forms an array in Zhejiang and blocks our army's retreat? ?”

Liu Ju hesitated, blinked, looked at Jing Zhao, then at Huan Yuan.

Huan Yuan lowered his face. "General Jing, our army has more than ten thousand elites, how many people are there in Dongou? We only need to send thousands of people to the riverside to stand up, Dongou can do nothing to us. After Zhejiang is the mountains and forests, we will be safe. If Trapped in the Songjiang River, what should I do? Go ashore and walk across the entire Dongou?"

"From Zhenze to Songjiang, it is only more than two hundred miles. It takes two days to go down the river and sail day and night, and it does not require physical strength. Isn't it better than going through mountains and forests? This time, I used the general's plan to go deep into Kuaiji. Conquering Wu County, after all, also took away some property. If Lu Xing, do you want to give up all these gains?"

When it comes to belongings, Liu Ju lacks confidence.He is living a tight life now, and he is counting on these trophies for a while.If you go by land, you must give up part of it, which is similar to cutting meat.

When Huan Yuan saw Liu Ju's contorted face, his heart suddenly turned cold.

Jing Zhao laughed, and said sadly, "Besides, we came here by boat, but now we go back by land. Do you want to leave these boats to the enemy? General Huan, was this your original plan?"

Huan Yuan was furious: "If my plan had been followed, we would have returned to Dongye by now, and your father and son would not be separated from Yin and Yang. Humans and ghosts have different paths..."

As soon as Jing Zhao heard about his son, Jing Zhao exploded immediately.He drew out his sword, pointed at Huan Yuan's door, and roared angrily, "Huan Yuan, how dare you mention this to me!"

Liu Ju was shocked, and hurriedly stepped forward to hug Jing Zhao, and winked at Huan Yuan repeatedly. "Huan Jun, you go out first, and I will think about it later."

Huan Yuan was so angry that he hit the ground with his staff, he didn't even perform the ceremony, so he turned around and left.Jing Zhao fell to the ground, weeping uncontrollably. "Your Highness, this prisoner is so rude, does he still have His Highness in his eyes? I'm afraid his heart has already gone to Chang'an to enjoy the filial piety of his disciples. Your Highness, be careful of crouching tigers."

Liu Ju was very embarrassed.The only two generals slandered each other, and he didn't feel comfortable being caught in the middle.

……

Wu County, Taishou Mansion.

Yan Zhu was sitting in the middle, the eunuch Dou Qufei was at the side, and Wang Xing was sitting opposite him, talking eloquently.Yan Zhu and Dou Qufei didn't make a statement, they just listened quietly, Yan Zhu's eyes were still somewhat disdainful, which made Dou Qufei very uncomfortable.

King Yan is a common surname in Wu County, but Yan Zhu doesn't have a good reputation in the village.When Dou Qufei recommended him as a virtuous person, he encountered a lot of resistance.This time Yan Zhu Chijie returned to his hometown with a somewhat elated look, but he was taken captive at Wangjiang Station and made a big embarrassment.After escaping back to Wu County, Yan Zhu became abnormal and overly sensitive. Everyone thought he was being laughed at.

Dou Qufei regretted it.If I had known that Yan Zhu was such a person, I wouldn't have pitied him back then.Offending people in Wu County is fine, if something goes wrong in front of the emperor, he, the recommender, will also be implicated.

"My lord, how can you be sure that the Yue thieves will go from the Songjiang River? In winter, the water is shallow and boating is inconvenient. How can Yu Shan and Liu Ju not know? Besides, even if they don't know, how can Huan Yuan not know? He belongs to Liang Xiao. Master, what Liang Xiao knows, will he not know?"

Wang Xing glanced at Yan Zhu. "Yan Jun stayed on the island before, don't you know that Huan Yuan is not employed by Liu Ju?"

Yan Zhu's face immediately darkened.Wang Xing's words were obviously thorny.

Wang Xing changed the subject, and said again: "Of course, what Yan Jun said is also reasonable. Therefore, I suggest that the Fu Jun make two-handed preparations. The main force stays in Wu County, waits for the opportunity, and enlists the nearby people to guard their homes and fight back against the Yue thieves , wouldn’t it be better? If we can make preparations in time, even if the Yue bandits escape by land, they can still get the boat in Zhenzeli. If they escape by water, we will be prepared, and we don’t have to worry about them slipping through the net.”

Dou Qufei turned to look at Yan Zhu. "What do you think, Mr. Yan?"

The corners of Yan Zhu's mouth twitched, his eyes disdainful. "It's a good plan, but if you get it by chance, how should you divide the spoils? Your Majesty, if there is no reward for recruiting people to fight, I'm afraid it will hinder the reputation of your Majesty."

Wang Xing remained silent, with a flash of anger in his eyes.However, he immediately regained his composure and looked at Dou Qufei quietly.

Dou Qufei was very embarrassed.One is an envoy sent by the imperial court, and the other is a representative of the local surname in Wu County, neither of which he can offend.He thought for a while and said with a smile: "What both of you said makes sense. How about this, the army sits in Wu county to ensure that Wu county is not lost, and the king goes to recruit the people to cooperate in the battle. Anyway, first drive the Yue thieves away. .The new year is approaching, let the common people have a safe year."

Wang Xing bowed to accept the order, turned around and left.Yan Zhu was very upset. Dou Qufei seemed to have no crimes, but in fact he accepted Wang Xing's suggestion and swept his face.He coughed: "My lord, please stay."

Wang Xing stopped in his tracks, turned around and looked at Yan Zhu with a cold expression.Everyone has torn their faces, there is no need to pretend to be good friends.

"The war is imminent, and I can't live without someone to protect me. My personal life and death are minor matters, but the court's envoys are more important. If I lose my integrity, I'm afraid I won't be able to explain it to the court. When Wang Jun saw Wei Qing and others, he asked them to return to the city immediately. There must be no mistakes. "

Wang Xing cupped his hands. "If you can meet me, I will tell you. However, you guys are busy killing the enemy, they are elusive, and their whereabouts are uncertain. I am afraid that it will not be easy to meet. Please sit in the city and wait patiently." After finishing speaking, he turned and strode away.

Yan Zhu's face was livid, Wang Xing's words meant something, it was tantamount to saying that he was a dead body, not doing business, but also interfering with the officials to kill the enemy, it can be said to hit the nail on the head and show no mercy.

Embarrassed, Dou Qufei hurriedly motioned for someone to go out to chase Wang Xing, telling him not to just be angry and forget about business.The safety of the envoy is a major issue, and the officials must return to Yan Zhu as soon as possible.A subordinate official chased him out, and soon came back, and said with a helpless expression: "Fujun, Wang Xing has already left."

"So fast?" Dou Qufei's face darkened, very unhappy.Can Wang Xing walk so fast?Who are you cheating on?

"Yes, he... rode away."

Dou Qufei was even more unhappy, got up and walked out, and went to the door to ask the guards.He felt that this subordinate official was too much, and he was unwilling to even make up a lie.Can Wang Xing ride a horse?It's still possible to ride occasionally, but now it's wartime, and he may be in danger at any time. With his riding skills, he can fall to his death without the enemy chasing him.

However, the guard's answer surprised Dou Qufei.Wang Xing did come here on horseback. Moreover, his harness was very weird. Not only were the two ends of the saddle turned up, but there were also two iron rings under the saddle, which could put his feet inside, which looked very stable.

Dou Qufei was skeptical, but he was helpless.Wang Xing had already left the city, and he couldn't catch up at all.He returned to the lobby and explained to Yan Zhu.Yan Zhu was also a little surprised. After careful inquiry, he still couldn't understand it, so he had to put it aside for the time being and study the war with Dou Qufei first.

……

Liang Xiao stepped on the stirrup with his front palms, his legs were sandwiched between the horse's belly, and he sat firmly on the saddle. He drew his bow and aimed at a group of Fujian and Yue soldiers a hundred steps away.When the soldiers saw it, they stopped quickly, raised their shields, and carefully protected their vital points.Facing Liang Xiao, the disciple taught by Captain Huan of the Houyi Camp, no one dared to be careless even if he was a hundred steps away.

Liang Xiao smiled slightly, let go of the string.

"Whoosh!" The arrow feathers galloped away, and hit a soldier's foot with one arrow.Most of the Fujian and Yue soldiers wore straw sandals, and some didn't even have shoes. They were barefoot and shot through with an arrow.It has to be said that although the Fujian and Yue soldiers were fierce and aggressive, they were not elite—their equipment was too poor.

The soldier threw away his shield in pain, hugged his feet, and screamed.Just as he yelled twice, another arrow flew towards him, hitting his chest.He glanced at Liang Xiao who was holding a bow and smiling in the distance, and slowly fell to the ground, the look in his eyes dimmed rapidly.

Liang Xiao slowly retracted his bow, looked at the Fujian and Yue soldiers, and sighed.

Taking advantage of the speed of the war horses, although they are small in number, they firmly control the initiative.Fight if you can fight, leave if you can't fight, and kill when you rush forward. Langguans have fully demonstrated this guerrilla tactic and gained a lot.Even with the worst riding skills, he shot and killed more than ten people in one morning.

But the price they paid was extremely small, and only a few people were slightly injured.On the one hand, it has the advantage of speed, and on the other hand, it is also because of the advantages of equipment. The officials are all equipped with iron armor, but the Fujian and Yue troops rarely have strong crossbows. The bamboo bows and crossbows in their hands are difficult to cause substantial damage to the officials. harm.

In the final analysis, there is still a gap in overall strength.

However, Liang Xiao himself was not too excited about this one-sided killing.In his subconscious mind, the Minyue people are different from the Huns, they are not outsiders.Since the Qin Dynasty, Minyue and Nanyue have been merged into the territory of China. Soon after, they returned to the Han Dynasty and became part of the Han Dynasty.This battle was at best a minor civil war, not worthy of exaggeration.

Of course, with this kind of thinking, Liang Xiao didn't tell anyone that the Han people didn't have any national concept, and Minyue was the enemy.The same is true for Minyue, they are merciless when they kill the local people in Kuaiji.

To stand a chance of being merciful, you have to convince them first.This is a paradox, and Liang Xiao can't solve it.

Therefore, while shooting the Fujian and Yue soldiers mercilessly, he crossed over for them.

This feeling reached the peak of entanglement when seeing Huan Yuan.Accompanied by Zhong Liqi, Zou Li and others, Huan Yuan took a cart and led Houyi Ying to the front of Liang Xiao.

Liang Xiao raised his hand and made a gesture. The officials shouted loudly, greeted each other, and gathered around Liang Xiao.Wei Qing and Li Jiao came running from different directions, and said in unison, "Ah Xiao, beware of fraud."

Liang Xiao nodded.He kicked Qing Cong lightly and walked forward slowly.

"Master, are you all right?"
