Chapter 171
Wang Xing glanced at Yan Zhu. "Yan Jun has been on the island. Don't you know that Huan Yuan is not appointed by Liu Ju?"
Yan Zhu's face immediately became muscular. Wang Xing's words were obviously thorny.
Wang Xing changed the subject and said, "Of course, what Mr. Yan said makes sense. Therefore, I suggest that the Duke make preparations. The main force stays in Wuxian, wait for the opportunity to recruit nearby people to protect their homes and fight back against the Yue thieves. Wouldn't it be even better? If you can prepare in time, even if the Yue thieves escape by land, you can get the ship from Zhenze. If they escape by water, we are prepared and there is no need to worry that they will miss the net."
Dou Qufei turned to see Yan Zhu. "What do you think Yan Jun?"
Yan Zhu's lips tilted, his eyes were disdainful. "Plan is a good plan, but if you succeed by chance, how should you divide this spoil? The Lord of the Mansion, if you call on the people to fight, if there is no reward, I am afraid that the reputation of the Mansion will be hindered."
Wang Xing said nothing, and anger flashed in his eyes. However, he immediately returned to peace and looked at Dou Qufei quietly.
Dou Qufei was in a difficult situation. One was an envoy sent by the court, and the other was a representative of the local surname of Wu County. He could not offend any of them. He thought for a while and said with a smile: "What you said makes sense. Let's do this. The army will be in charge of Wu County to ensure that Wu County is not lost. Wang Jun will recruit the people and cooperate with the fight. No matter what, drive the thieves away first. The New Year is approaching, so we must let the people have a peaceful New Year."
Wang Xing bowed to accept the order, turned around and left. Yan Zhu was very unhappy. Dou Qufei seemed to be unfair, but in fact he accepted Wang Xing's suggestion and swept his face. He coughed: "Wang Jun stay."
Wang Xing stopped, turned around and looked at Yan Zhu, with a cold expression. Everyone had broken up, so there was no need to pretend to be good friends anymore.
"The war is imminent, and I cannot be protected by anyone. My personal life and death are small, and the court envoys are big. If they lose their integrity, they may not be able to explain to the court. When Wang Jun saw Wei Qing and others, he asked them to return to the city immediately without any mistakes."
Wang Xinggong bowed. "If you can meet, you should tell me. However, the men are busy killing the enemy, and their whereabouts are unstable, so they are afraid that it will not be easy to meet. Please sit in the city and wait patiently." After saying that, he turned around and left with great strides.
Yan Zhu's face turned pale. Wang Xing's words meant something, which meant that he would not do serious business and would interfere with the killing of the enemy. It was a sharp and merciless face.
Dou Qufei was very embarrassed and quickly signaled people to go out to chase Wang Xing, asking him not to be angry and forget the main business. The safety of the messenger is a big deal, and the officials must return to Yan Zhu as soon as possible. A subordinate chased him out and came back soon, saying helplessly: "Mr. Wang Xing has left."
"So fast?" Dou Qufei lowered his face and was very unhappy. Can Wang Xing go so fast? Who are you confused?
"Yes, he... rode his horse."
Dou Qufei was even more unhappy, so he got up and walked out, and rushed to the door to ask the guards guarding the gate. He felt that this subordinate was too much and he was reluctant to make up a lie. Can Wang Xing ride a horse? Usually, he occasionally rides a horse, but it is possible that now it is during wartime and may be in danger at any time. With his riding skills, he can fall to death without the enemy chasing him.
However, the guard's answer surprised Dou Qufei. Wang Xing did come on horseback, and his harness was very strange. Not only did the saddle be raised at both ends, but there were two more iron rings under the saddle, so he could put his feet inside, which looked very stable.
Dou Qufei was suspicious, but he was helpless. Wang Xing had already left the city and he couldn't catch up. He returned to the lobby and explained to Yan Zhu. Yan Zhu was also a little surprised. After careful investigation, he still couldn't figure it out. He had to put it aside for the time being and study the war with Dou Qufei first.
...
Liang Xiao stepped on the stirrups with his legs and his horse's belly. He sat steadily on the saddle, pulled out his bow, aimed at a group of Minyue soldiers a hundred steps away. When the soldiers saw it, they stopped, raised their shields, and carefully protected their vital points. Facing Liang Xiao, the disciple taught by the Han Duwei of Houyi Camp, no one dared to be careless even if they were a hundred steps away.
Liang Xiao smiled slightly and let out a loose string.
"Swoosh!" Arrow feathers rushed away and hit a soldier's feet with one arrow. Most of the soldiers in Minyue were wearing straw sandals, and some even had no shoes. They were barefoot and shot through with one arrow. It has to be said that although the soldiers in Minyue were fierce and fighting, they were not the elite. Their equipment was too poor.
The soldier threw his shield in pain, hugged his feet, and screamed in pain. He had just screamed twice, and then another arrow flew to his chest. He glanced at Liang Xiao, who was smiling with a bow in the distance, and slowly fell to the ground, his eyes quickly dimmed.
Liang Xiao slowly closed his bow, looked at the Minyue soldiers, and sighed.
Using the speed of the war horses, although they were small in number, they firmly controlled the initiative. They fought if they could, left if they couldn't, and rushed forward and killed them. The men and women fully used this guerrilla tactic and achieved a lot. Even with the worst riding skills, he shot more than ten people in one morning.
The price they paid was very small, and only a few people were slightly injured. On the one hand, they had the advantage of speed, and on the other hand, they were also equipped with iron armor, but the Minyue Army rarely had strong crossbows. The bamboo bows and crossbows in their hands were difficult to cause substantial damage to the Langs.
In the final analysis, it is still the gap in overall strength.
However, Liang Xiao himself was not very excited about this one-sided killing. In his subconscious, the Minyue people were different from the Huns, and they were not outsiders. Since the Qin Dynasty, Minyue and Nanyue have been incorporated into China's territory. Soon after, they returned to the Great Han Dynasty and became part of the Great Han Dynasty. This war was at best a small civil war and was not worthy of great exaggeration.
Of course, Liang Xiao did not tell anyone about this idea. The Han people did not have any national concepts, and the Minyue was the enemy. The same was true for Minyue. They were not ruthless when they killed the local people in Kuaiji.
If you want to have the opportunity to show kindness, you must first defeat them. This is a paradox that Liang Xiao cannot solve.
Therefore, while shooting and killing the Minyue soldiers mercilessly, he was passing through them.
This feeling reached the tangled phoenix when he saw Huan Yuan. Accompanied by Zhongliqi, Zuo Li and others, Huan Yuan slowly came to Liang Xiao in a car and took Houyi camp.
Liang Xiao raised his hand and made a gesture. The men shouted loudly, greeted each other, and gathered to Liang Xiao. Wei Qing and Li Jiao ran from different directions and said in unison: "A Xiao, be careful of fraud."
Liang Xiao nodded. He kicked Qing Cong lightly and walked forward slowly.
"Master, are you okay?"—
