Chapter 109 Night Attack
.The whole day, I went to the Chengdu Palace to discuss matters in the early morning, and then went to the banquet twice. When Zhang Chi returned to the inn, it was almost sunset.
Luo An originally wanted to take Zhang Chi to his mansion in the east of the city today, but seeing that it was getting late, he had to wait for tomorrow.
He sent Zhang Chi back to the inn, and after a few greetings, he explained that he would come again the day, so Luo An said goodbye to Zhang Chi, but he did not go back to his home, but went straight to the Chengdu Palace.
The King of Chengdu had been waiting for him for a long time. When Luo An saw the King of Chengdu, he respectfully told the King of Chengdu about how Zhang Chi persuaded the governor of Yizhou today, and did not fall into the slightest from beginning to end.
Luo An has no other skills, but he is loyal to the King of Chengdu. Although the things the King of Chengdu has always assigned him to do, he cannot be said to have done everything perfectly every time, but he must have been working hard every time.
For a person like the King of Chengdu who holds high throne, he needs wise men, but what he needs more is loyal ministers like Luo An. Of course, the King of Chengdu knew that wise men were not easy to find, but loyal ministers were hard to find, so he always entrusted important tasks to Luo An.
When Luo An finished his detailed explanation of Zhang Chi at the governor's office in Yizhou, facing the soldiers and generals who were ambushed by Yizhou governors but remained confident, the King of Chengdu could not help but nodded and said, "I am worthy of being a person that Miss Wang values. Although this boy is young, he is very wise and can do things lightly, which is indeed very useful."
Luo An didn't know anything else, but Zhang Chi answered in the palace once today and at the home of the governor of Yizhou. Luo An heard it in his ears and was already impressed by his eloquence.
"It's a pity that although the governor of Yizhou is willing to send troops, he only helps with the momentum and refuses to use his troops to fight with the Hu people. It's also of little effect." Luo An said in a sigh.
The King of Chengdu seemed to not care, shook his hand and said to Luo An: "Don't care about these things. No matter how things develop, they will definitely be beneficial to us. And I also believe that Zhang Chi will never disappoint me."
The King of Chengdu smiled knowingly, with a confident expression, which was completely different from the indespicable appearance he had in front of the ministers in the morning.
...
The crescent moon is like a hook.
At this time, the sky was dark, and the moon was in the middle of the sky. Zhang Chi held up his wine glass and looked at the moon by the window, with a lot of thoughts in his heart.
At this time, the wine lady stood quietly in front of him, cooking wine for him. The dark blade was sitting quietly while wiping her three-foot sword.
When Zhang Chi came through time, it was still late spring, but now it is early summer.
He still remembers the first time he met the old Taoist priest Zhan Taiqi, who calculated a divination for him: "In search of the spring, flowers bloom, flowers are worth picking, and branches can be planted." He said that he is enviable in his peach blossom luck.
Sure enough, which of the women he met was not a stunning beauty? It was a pity that Miss Wang died in Jiankang. Although Miss Wang did not express anything to Zhang Chi, Zhang Chi could feel that Miss Wang had feelings for her and was unable to save Miss Wang. This has always been a regret for Zhang Chi.
Thinking of Miss Wang, Zhang Chi couldn't help but think of the current situation in Shuzhong. At that time, Miss Wang made herself use Shuzhong as a hero to build a business, but did Miss Wang know about the situation in Shuzhong? The governors of the two states of Yiliang each had a force in Shuzhong, but they were unwilling to resist Hu. What should she do so that she could not let the Hu people enter Shuzhong and gain a foothold in Shuzhong?
In fact, Zhang Chi was not a man who was good at scheming, but unfortunately his fate drove him on this road after traveling through time. He was free to move in front of others, but when anyone knew that no one was there, his heart was like others, and he often had a mess.
But he knew that he was not alone, there were other people around him, and he was the backbone of these people. If even he was messing around, what should others do?
Maybe he doesn't even know that this is exactly the charm a leader should have.
In troubled times, if you want to achieve a king's throne, you can have no peerless martial arts or superhuman strategies, but you cannot have the courage to withstand great things and the mind that can tolerate the world.
"Young Master Zhang," a call interrupted Zhang Chi's thoughts. When he looked back, he saw that it was Qin Bo. Seeing that Zhang Chi drank and looked at the moon without saying a word, Qin Bo must have been worried about the refusal of the governors of the two states of Yiliang, and he persuaded him: "Young Master, don't worry, there are many heroes in Shu, and there should be many passionate people. As long as we raise the banner of anti-Hu first, we will inevitably respond."
Zhang Chi smiled slightly and nodded. Now this is the only way. Zhang Chi is not in military affairs, but I think he will go to the palace to discuss matters tomorrow. Since the King of Chengdu asked him to command the allocation of troops in Shu, he always had to know something, so he said to Qin Bo: "It's still early, and I will meet the King of Chengdu tomorrow to discuss the matter of sending troops to fight against Hu. It is better for the prefect of Qin to tell me in detail about the situation in the north first."
"Please look, young master," said Qin Bo's strengths when talking about military affairs, so he picked up some cups and used them as simple maps at the table, and said while setting them in his hand: "This is the six counties in northern central Shu, Lueyang, Tianshui, Fufeng, Shiping, Wudu and Yinping, but now it has all fallen into the hands of the Hu people."
Qin Boyou picked up two chopsticks and walked under it: "This is Bashan that stretches for thousands of miles. Now the Hu people are going to cross Bashan and take Wuping straight. Now Wuping is the last line of defense in Shuzhong. If Wuping is in trouble, the Hu people will enter the Shuzhong Plain that is fertile for thousands of miles and there is no danger to defend."
Zhang Chi nodded, and Qin Bo said again: "There are many soldiers in the Hu people, but as the young master said today in the hall, they do not know the geography. The steep terrain in the Bashan Mountains is our advantage. If we can make good use of the land, it is not impossible to defeat strong enemies. Perhaps we can take advantage of the situation to recover the six northern counties that have fallen."
After saying this, Qin Bo talked about the route of sending troops to Wuping for Zhang Chi in detail. The Hu people came straight to Wuping. If they sent troops to fight against Hu now, the first battle with the Hu people would have happened near Wuping, so Zhang Chi also listened with great since he was at the critical moment. However, at the critical moment, the Dark Blade had already shouted: "Not good."
Zhang Chi didn't know why Dark Blade suddenly called out badly and asked in confusion: "What happened?"
The Dark Blade had already stopped wiping the sword, lifted it in his hand, and listened carefully, ignoring Zhang Chi, making a gesture of silence, and then listened intently for a moment before quickly saying, "Get ready, someone is coming!"
Qin Bo also knew that the Dark Blade was excellent in martial arts, and he couldn't say that he could really hear the movements in the distance in the quiet night. He was shocked: "Does there be many people?"
Dark Blade shook his head: "I can't judge how much it is, but it will never be less."
When this sentence was finished, Dark Blade had already arrived next to Zhang Chi. The inn was originally outside Chengdu City, and now it was already night, and there would be no one to interact, so it would never be a good thing when Dark Blade heard the noise now.
Qin Bo also quickly put down the cup still in his hand, rushed out of the door and shouted: "Where are the soldiers? Everyone is ready for the battle!"
There were also a hundred soldiers whom he brought to guard in the inn. Now he was going to gather these soldiers together for battle immediately. However, just as Qin Bo's words came out, the sound of breaking through the air had already sounded, and countless rockets in the distance had already shot towards the inn.
The inn was built of wood, and the roofs were mostly thatched. Now that the rockets were shooting, fire broke out everywhere. "All soldiers were divided into two teams, one team protecting the young master, and the other pair rushed out with me!" Qin Bo shouted, and quickly organized the soldiers to open the way and rushed out.
There are not many houses in the inn and do not occupy too much land, but there is only one gate. The surrounding walls are already in full swing, and it is obvious that there is only one road rushing out through the gate now.
Hundreds of soldiers rushed out together, but as soon as they left the gate of the inn, a powerful crossbow rocket shot volleys. The soldiers who rushed out first fell to the ground in unison.
There was another conflict, and there was another volley of powerful crossbows and rockets in the distance, and all the soldiers who were in the lead were shot to death by arrows.
After doing this twice, who is not afraid of death? For a moment, all the soldiers were surrounded and dared not rush forward.
At this time, the fire in the inn was already big and the smoke was choking. If you could not rush out of the inn, even if you were not shot to death by arrows, you would inevitably be burned to death by the fire. Of course, Qin Bo knew this and made a quick decision and shouted: "If you can't rush out, you will inevitably be buried in the sea of fire. If you do this, you might as well fight to death and have a glimmer of life!"
After saying that, Qin Bo led the way and was the first to force himself out of the door.
When the soldiers saw that the prefect was so ignorant of life and death, they no longer hesitated and feared, and rushed out together.
The number of people coming was not too many, and there were only a few hundred people. Originally, these people wanted to rely on powerful crossbows and arrows to seal them in the inn. There were fires and arrows. Even if someone could rush out, they would definitely be killed or injured.
Unexpectedly, Qin Bohanyong took the lead in rushing out of the inn, plucking the weapons in his hand left and blocking them, and the arrows were not enough, and the soldiers followed.
After rushing out of the gate of the inn, Qin Bo rushed to the enemy who shot the arrow without saying a word.
He knew that the fire in the inn could no longer be stopped, and the most urgent task now is to kill the enemies who set the rockets so that the young master and others could rush out safely.
Qin Bo was extremely brave and had an unyielding momentum, and the soldiers behind him were also affected. Although he left a team of people to protect Mr. Zhang, there were only dozens of soldiers around him, even so, he killed the other party who fired the rockets to the point of dispersal.
Qin Bo sighed, and as long as no one shot another arrow, the young master might be able to rush out safely.
But at this moment, Qin Bo suddenly heard a loud noise. Looking back, many houses in the inn had collapsed by the fire.
"Oh no, go back and save the young master!" Qin Bo shouted.
However, as soon as he finished speaking, a long neigh of a war horse had already sounded. With a long neigh, the wall of the inn collapsed. At the moment when the wall was to the bottom, a white horse had already rushed out of the raging flames.
