Chapter two hundred and sixty-eight officials fight
The rolling mountains and ridges seemed to be unable to see the deep and dense forests at the edges, which made Zheng Xiaoyu, who had been back into the mountains and into the forests, was very tired. However, no matter how tired he was, he gritted his teeth and persevered, because he had tried his best to get the opportunity to break into the enemy's nest, not to mention that the brother Chen next to him was no more than two years older than him, so he could not disappoint this brother.
In Zheng Mansion, Zheng Xiaoyu has been frugal since childhood. Even though he was raised by his grandfather himself, he did not develop a arrogant and playboy temper. However, he has never suffered any hardships. Of course, Zheng Xiaoyu can't play with other brothers who were spoiled by the backyard aunts.
But in recent days, Zheng Xiaoyu and Chen Guang, who are of similar age, finally felt what brothers are. These brothers are all very skilled in martial arts and know a lot of things, and they take good care of him. Although they haven't been together for a long time, he feels that he and Brother Shen are more like brothers.
"Stop and rest!"
Lu Da, who was walking in the front, suddenly stopped. He was not taking care of Zheng Xiaoyu, but the rest of the team could not hold on anymore. This was not easy to walk on in the mountains. It was thanks to the remnants of the White Lotus Sect who didn't know much about fighting, otherwise they would have a headache about the endless traps.
"Tiger head, drink a little water."
Chen Guang handed the water bag to Zheng Xiaoyu. He and several companions took good care of this little brother from a rich family. At first, it was because of the second brother's instructions, but later they all fell in love with this little brother who can endure hardships and have perseverance, and regarded him as his real companion.
"Thank you brother."
Zheng Xiaoyu did not refuse. Among the people, he was the youngest, so he had the least luggage on his body. They did not carry horses when they set off, and all the weapons, food and grass were carried by people.
Luda climbed up to the tallest tree canopy and looked forward. He had just touched a rough spot in the Motianling before. Besides, he led a team of nearly fifty people this time. The path he had taken before was not feasible, so he had to change his path.
"Zhang Touer, do you think we can really take down this Motianling?"
Except for Chen Guang and others, the rest of the team were selected by Zhang Jian himself from his sword and shield team and his personal soldiers. They were all able to run away, but everyone was the first to go back to the forest to fight. In addition, they heard that there were thousands of refugees in the thief's nest, so they were all nervous.
"There are only more than 300 people among the thieves. At that time, the high-ranking master will deal with them. We will only face unarmed refugees."
Zhang Jian looked at the subordinates around him and said coldly, "Grandmaster said it well, these powerful soldiers were fought one after another, and these guys are still not practical. They are looking for hard work now, but when the battle starts, the White Lotus Sect bandits and the Grand Master's soldiers will stalemate. They will directly attack the thief's nest, which will definitely disrupt the morale of the thief's army. This is a waste of credit.
"Don't let me lose my face. At that time, the knife in my hand won't recognize anyone or not?"
Zhang Jian threatened the soldiers of the past, and then felt that it was time to mention the matter to Gao Ye when the war was over. All the soldiers under Gao Ye were ready to die. Even the new recruits were better than the people under his command, because their families were all settled in Hekou Fort, and everyone knew that there was pension for death in battle, and that his wife, children and parents were supported by Gao Ye, so there was no need to worry about the future of the children.
But the soldiers under his command of the Camel City were still in the Camel City, and they had some concerns and bonds in their hearts, so they naturally could not be happy when they heard the war and were ready to die.
Lu Da, who came down from the tree, was hearing the conversation between Zhang Jian and his subordinates, so the scar-faced bald head, who was comparable to a ghost in the hearts of the Camel City soldiers, smiled hideously at them, "Don't think too much. If you go into this Motianling with me, don't want to go out by yourself without me leading the way!"
"When you really want to face those White Lotus bandits, don't think you can surrender. You should know that those who burn incense and worship their mothers have the most tricks to execute prisoners, which is to spare your lives, that is, to go to the mine to mine until they die."
Lu Da didn't take his family back at night, asking him to boost morale, but he didn't know how to intimidate him, but he had his own tricks.
First, Zhang Jian threatened and then Lu Da intimidated. The soldiers who were already a little shaken suddenly lost their little thoughts, thinking that at worst, they would fight against the White Lotus Sect bandits at that time, and they would be happy even if they died.
"Master Lu, how far is this?"
Zhang Jian arrived beside Luda. The mountains and forests were difficult to walk. The morale of his soldiers was not strong, because no matter how they walked in the deep mountains and forests, it seemed that they could not get to the end, which was the most harsh one.
"There are less than two days left."
Lu Da made a estimation in his heart, then lowered his voice to Zhang Jian and said, "You have to be prepared for a tough battle. Even if the high-ranking soldiers entangled the White Lotus bandits, there are still left-behind soldiers in the mine. I guess there will not be too many people, but there will be nowhere to go?"
"Master Lu Don't worry, those mine thugs, no matter how brave those brave the people are, they will only be some mobs. Just kill a few leading reckless men..."
Zhang Jian had rich combat experience. When he was a hundred households in Camel City, he also led his troops to suppress the miners who made trouble. He knew that those miners were brave, but as long as they killed the ones who took the lead in causing trouble, the rest would be no more reliable.
Lu Da nodded. He had touched the Motianling before and had also spyed in the territory of the White Lotus bandits. The copper mine was the most garrisoned. Those who mined in the mine all day long were definitely not voluntarily. They must have been forced by the White Lotus bandits. If they really started, the miners might be their help.
"After rest, continue on the road. We will almost be able to get to the place tomorrow."
Lu Da shouted to everyone who sat down to rest. Shen Guang and Zheng Xiaoyu and the others stood up first, and then the soldiers under Zhang Jian also stood up. They could not be inferior to these young men!
Soon, the team set off again and disappeared into the dense forest.
...
In Fengzigou Baihu Mansion, the spacious main hall has been transformed into a central army camp. On the long platform where two wooden tables are made up, there are rough sand tables made by Gao Jin and his men. He has been rushing back from Camel City at night for three days.
At Shenmu Fort, Shan Yingguo moved Xu Tong, but the old dog acted alert and did not lead the troops out of the city in person, but instead asked his confidant to lead the horse team to Fengzigou to investigate the news.
Fortunately, before Gao Jin left, he discussed with Chen Sheng that after the Baihu Mansion that day, although he spared Yang Chun and the other two, he also let the three hide in Baihu Mansion and never showed up. Therefore, the people in Fengzigou only knew that Baihu Mansion was broken by the official army to suppress the rebellion. As for their Yang Baihu, they might be dead.
After Gao Jin came back, it was Xu Tong's confidant who led the horse team to test for two days and finally approached the earthen wall in Fengzigou. Gao Jin naturally did not send troops out of the city, but just asked the servants of the two teams to go to the earthen wall to deal with it, and he himself also went to the wall.
This also made Xu Tong's confidant believe that Gao Jin's troops were indeed seriously injured. Otherwise, with the arrogant and arrogant Gao Yanluo, wouldn't he have already rode out of the city? So he also bravely rode his horse on the horse and shouted, "Gao Baihu, the incident of your collusion with the White Lotus bandits has been revealed. My master soon came here, just wash your neck and wait for death!"
Seeing Xu Tong's confidant provoked so much, Gao Jin was not angry. Chen Sheng next to him became angry. He thought that since he followed his second brother, he had been invincible. When was this villain so provoked by such a villain?
"Second brother, let me go out of the city and kill this guy's dog head..."
"A Sheng, why are you impatient? We are trying to show that the enemy is weak. Xu Tong's old dog is a brave bandit. If you really kill the dog's head, what if the old dog is so scared that he becomes a turtle with a head-reducing person!"
Gao Jin held Chen Sheng down, but instead put on the wall, forcing a fierce look on his face and shouted, "Who colluded with the White Lotus Sect bandits? It was clearly Xu Qianhu who colluded with the White Lotus Sect bandits. He wanted to frame me. I have sent someone to report to the eldest son. When the soldiers in Camel City come, I see how Xu Qianhu resists it!"
Xu Tong's confidant didn't say anything after hearing this, but instead led his horse team away. In his opinion, Gao Yanluo was guilty, otherwise he would not have brought the eldest son out. However, the news that Gao Yanluo had to be guarded against, so he asked his subordinates to lead the horse team and retreat outside Fengzigou to station. He brought two followers back to Shenmubao to report the news.
...
"That child Gao Jin really said that?"
In Qianhu Station, when he saw his confidant who had rushed back to report overnight, Xu Tong slapped the table from the chair. At this time, he was already moved. The eldest son was not a good-looking lamp. If Gao Jin could not be killed, it would not be impossible if the eldest son intervened in and forced Gao Jin to protect that child.
"It's true, Master, you didn't see the scene at that time. When Gao Jin heard that you were leading troops to conquer him soon, his face turned pale."
Xu Tong said with jealousy. He was clearly far away from the wall, but he spoke vividly, as if he had seen Gao Jin's guilty and timid look.
"Well, you sent someone to guard the wing room where Danbaihu is located."
Xu Tong suddenly said that Gao Jin was shameless and wanted to accuse him of colluding with the White Lotus Sect bandits. If the eldest son really took action, if he couldn't kill Gao Jin before the troops of Camel City arrived, it would be hard to say who would win.
"Master, this one hundred households?"
"Then Gao Jin's son is very brave after all. If he can't kill him and escape, if our eldest son is determined to protect him, this single household may not be able to speak the same way!"
Looking at his puzzled confidant, Xu Tong said in a deep voice. Although Gao Jin's army had lost more than half of the army, he also knew that his subordinates might not be able to defeat them. Therefore, he had to be prepared for both. If he failed to win Gao Jin, he would kill Shan Ying and have no evidence of death. Anyway, everyone in the city knew that he was coming to Shenmu Castle for help. If he died, it was because he was too serious and he couldn't survive.
"Young people understand, don't worry, the young people will choose a few good-looking people."
The confidant understood and couldn't help but think deeply that the master was still thinking carefully. Shan Ying was not a kind and loyal person. This man could do anything to climb up. If the eldest son of Camel City really promised the benefits, he would be afraid that he would really falsely accusing his master at that time.
When the confidant left, Xu Tong did not delay any more. He called his personal soldiers to serve him. Then he asked someone to beat the drum and gather the generals, mobilized the soldiers from Shenmu Fort, intending to go out to get rid of Gao Jin, a confidant. For Xu Tong, this hundred households under him were just crazy. This time he dared to kill his colleagues, and next time he would dare to touch him, the Shangguan.
That is, the stupid young master in Camel City, who valued the master's dog and was the one who could eat the master!
After a round of drums, all the generals of the Shenmu Fort camp arrived at the Qianhu House, but Liu Xun, the deputy Qianhu, did not come. Xu Tong didn't care. Since he dealt with Tian Anguo, the Shenmu Fort was his one-man show. When he dealt with Gao Jin, it would not be too late to deal with Liu Da Sisi when he came back.
