177. Bandit Night Attack
When Pingnan was in full swing, there was no movement between Jinghu South Road, Kuizhou Road, and Guangnan East Road, which was adjacent to Guangxi South Road, which was adjacent to Guangxi South Road, and Guangnan East Road, which was in the east. At the battle of Guangnan West Road, Ali Hague was wiped out, Guangxi and Hunan were hollowed out, and Guangdong Kong Yuan went to war with heavy casualties, and Boyan also injured his vitality. The Yuan army of Kuizhou Road had just taken Chongqing Prefecture, so he was afraid he was busy resting.
In this era, wars are not something that can be fought just by fighting, and it often takes longer to prepare.
Therefore, Guangxi has no worries in a short period of time.
In comparison, Leizhou and Qiongzhou are more dangerous.
It has been more than a year since Zhang Hongfan and Li Heng retreated to Benzhou Island, and the Yuan army is likely to advance from the sea.
Of course, this possibility is relatively low. According to the situation, the biggest possibility of the Yuan army is to wait until all the armies are ready and then attack Song at the same time.
But no matter what, we still have to guard against it. The soldiers are treacherous, and no one can tell what Emperor Kublai Khan would plan.
Now that there is only half a month left before the end of the year, Zhao Dongting finally plans to return to Leizhou.
These days, Concubine Yang Shu of Leizhou Palace has sent several envoys to urge him to go back. After all, he is the emperor of the Song Dynasty. At the end of the year, he has many things to deal with.
In the past, the situation was special. There were many things in the court that could save as much as possible, but now it is different. The court has a foothold in Leizhou, and those things are put on the agenda by the ministers. In the court, almost every minister pays attention to the red tape because they were educated and raised.
This made Zhao Dongting quite distressed. Some ancient methods were really unnecessary in his opinion, such as sacrifice to heaven. However, if you want to change the ancient methods that the subjects have adapted to for hundreds of years, this is definitely not something that can be accomplished in a short time, and it is even more difficult than resisting the Yuan Dynasty, and it requires more water grinding.
For example, in this era, parents' destiny is emphasized, and the mediator's words, if Zhao Dongting suddenly issued an order to promote free love, can it be said that it would be promoted and promoted?
Not to mention the people, the saliva of the scholars and officials alone could drown Zhao Dongting. There would be a few more straight ministers who would be killed in the hall for advice and to show them to Zhao Dongting. People in this era respected ancient methods too much, just like the Lord of Baicao Valley sticking to the teachings of the ancestors in the valley.
Speaking of which, this led to the idea of not seeking change in modern times, which led to the idea of not seeking change, was actually popular among the subjects at this time. The Mongolians were not educated like this, so they were as fierce as tigers and kept making progress.
In this way, the Southern Song Dynasty was destroyed, but it was not unjust. Those who did not seek to make progress would be surpassed sooner or later.
Zhao Dongting wanted to change, but he had to change slowly and subtly. The people's thinking was actually the most difficult thing to control.
Therefore, although Zhao Dongting was the emperor, he now had to act according to the original ancient law, which was his helplessness.
Just half a month before the end of the New Year, Zhao Dongting set out from Pingnan County.
He only led the flying dragon soldiers around him, as well as the newly established Wudingtang masters.
The imperial guards in front of the palace, the personal guards and others were all left in Pingnan by Zhao Dongting.
There are still many things to deal with in Guangxi, such as persuading surrendered soldiers, gathering the people, storing surrendered rebels, and experts from the world. All the generals led by Wen Tianxiang could only stay in Pingnan and act in full as Zhao Dongting to deal with the practical problems that arise after the issuance of the three orders.
When the sky just turned pale, Zhao Dongting led hundreds of people to the gate of Pingnan County.
He did not want to make a big fuss when he returned to Leizhou on his trip, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble.
Wen Tianxiang and others took the carriage to the city gate and bid farewell to Zhao Dongting Yiyi.
Zhang Ru, Le Wuquan and Zhao Dongting sat in the carriage. Around them were Zhao Da, Zhao Hu and other flying dragon soldiers, as well as the masters of Wuding Hall guarding him.
To this day, there are 47 masters who have joined the Wuding Hall. Although there are not among the top masters, there are actually very outstanding people.
Seeing that the sky was getting brighter, Zhao waved his hand and shouted: "Let's go!"
Hundreds of people were slapping their horses and heading towards Leizhou without any haste.
Inside the carriage, Zhao Dongting suddenly laughed and said, "Senior, I don't know how that little girl Lewu is doing now?"
Not to mention, after leaving Leizhou for so long, now when he thinks of Le Wu, Ying Er and the others, he feels a little warm and looks forward to going back.
Le Wuhuang also showed a soft smile in his eyes and said, "What else can that girl be heartless?"
Zhao Dongting smiled and said, "Haha, senior, if Le Wu knew that you said that, she would definitely have to pull your beard."
Le Wuchen laughed out loud, not saying anything.
...
Soon after four days, the group arrived at Bobai County, Yulinzhou, which was south of Guangnan West Road.
At this speed of travel, you can reach Haikang County, Leizhou in about six days.
At this time, there are only ten days left before the end of the year.
When the night was dark, at the command of Zhao Dongting, hundreds of people stopped marching and set up camp at the foot of the mountain.
Everyone just ate dry food to deal with it. A flying dragon soldier was fetching water by the stream not far away. After Zhao Dongting washed up, he read the military books in the carriage.
He felt that he still had many shortcomings and did not want to waste any time.
Time passed slowly, and the flying dragon soldiers and the masters of Wudingtang gradually fell asleep, leaving only a few bonfires, and more than ten people were vigilant.
The night wind passes slowly, adding a little bit of mystery.
This day was not peaceful.
Late at night, there was a sound of horse hooves, and it was getting closer and closer, coming straight towards the place where Zhao Dongting and the others camped.
The flying dragon soldier who was vigilant stood up from the campfire and shouted: "Beware! Beware!"
The soldiers sleeping in the camp and the masters of Wudingtang woke up instantly, and the original snoring disappeared in an instant.
Zhao Dongting was not asleep yet, and seeing Le rolling over for free, both of them looked dark.
Zhao Dongting said: "Senior, who do you think it will be?"
Le Wufeng's ears trembled slightly, and after a few seconds, he said, "The sound of horse hooves is messy, it should not be an army."
"Um."
Zhao Dongting put down the military book in his hand, "I heard that bandits in Yulinzhou are rampant, so we can't see it tonight."
“Huh?”
As he said that, a light suddenly shone in his eyes, "Senior, if you are really a bandit, can you let me try my skills?"
Now that he has achieved a little internal strength, his swordsmanship has also improved, and he has also realized the intent of swords, but he also wants to try the taste of fighting with others.
Thinking about the night leading the Feilong soldiers to attack the camp at night, I was scared at the time, but now I feel a little excited.
Zhao Dongting knew very well that masters cannot be cultivated by practicing. Only by actual combat can we integrate swordsmanship.
Le Wufeng pondered slightly and said, "If there are no strong people among the bandits, it's okay for the emperor to try it. Then I will protect you next to you."
And at this time when they were talking, the sound of horse hooves had already reached the camp and suddenly stopped.
The horse's humming sound can be heard in the night wind.
The flying dragon soldiers were on guard.
Zhao Dongting lifted the curtain and saw that there were many torches outside. He counted roughly that there were hundreds of them, and it was obvious that there were quite a few people on the other side.
Zhao Da shouted outside the carriage: "Who are you waiting for?"
One of the knights shouted loudly: "I am the heroes on the windbreaker mountain next to me. You people pass by my territory and don't even say hello. Are you looking for death?"
"hero?"
Zhao Da laughed wildly, "You mobs dare to call yourself a hero?"
He is now the commander of the Feilong Army and has been fighting in the army countless times. With a high vision, he naturally will not take these bandits seriously.
"So brave!"
The leader of the bandits shouted angrily, and the bandits beside him cursed all the angrily, all with bad words, and pointed the bows and arrows in his hands at the soldiers of the Flying Dragon Army and the masters of the Wuding Hall who were waiting for the battle.
"drink!"
The soldiers of the Flying Dragon Army were naturally not afraid and all raised their shields.
The Wuding Hall masters were leisurely in their expressions and did not take these mere bandits to heart.
It is true that there are masters among the bandits, but very few, and most of them are desperate people.
Seeing that they were so tough, the bandits were a little stuck.
Next to the leader of the bandit, a man who looked like a dog-headed military advisor whispered: "The leader, you have a tough idea, I'm afraid you're stubborn. These people look like they are soldiers."
The leader of the bandit was also unsure, but turned to look at the hundreds of people behind him, but there was an unconcealed look of greed in his eyes.
He whispered: "With that master following me, I may not be able to beat them. The master said that this carriage and horse carries countless treasures. He only needs the lives of these people, and the treasures belong to us. As long as I steal those treasures, how many people I want to pull cannot pull them?"
When the dog-headed military advisor heard the word "master", his eyes shrank slightly, showing a look of extreme fear.
The man broke into their cottage alone, but killed all of them in a frightened state.
That long sword planted an indelible mark in the hearts of the bandits and his.
Thinking of this, he didn't dare to say anything more. If he didn't fight with this group of people, even that person would be afraid that he would have his life.
He looked into the back of the horse team in obscurity.
Amid the slightly dim fire, an extremely cold face appeared and faintly.
If Zhao Dongting and Le saw it for free, they would naturally recognize it. This face was Li Ge again.
