Governor please stay

"Er Zhurong's army is at Baiyangpi not far from Yongqiu. If I lead the troops away now, the movement is too loud and it will easily alarm Er Zhurong."

Dou Tai said in a deep voice.

"Uncle can leave tomorrow, wait until Er Zhurong leads the troops to go far in the direction of Suiyang before leaving."

At this moment, the soldiers knocked on the door of the study and shouted outside: "General Dou, the governor sent someone to urge us to send troops to attack Xiangyi tomorrow, and the messenger is waiting in the lobby."

"Okay, I see. Tell him to wait and I'll come when I get dressed."

Dou Tai agreed, his complexion became ugly.

"Could Er Zhurong have noticed something?"

Dou Tai asked Duan Shao in a deep voice.

Why didn't Er Zhurong's people come early or late, but Gao Huan came here after running away?

"One does not do two endlessly..."

Duan Shao made a gesture of wiping his neck.Dou Tai's face was uncertain, as if he hadn't made up his mind yet.The two came to the county government hall, and saw that the person who came was actually Er Zhurong's younger brother Er Zhubi.

Dou Tai secretly exchanged glances with Duan Shao, they thought that the messenger would be some small character, but they didn't expect Er Zhurong to send all his brothers here.

Although this person is average, he is Er Zhurong's "family member".It can be seen that Er Zhurong also felt a little uneasy.

"General Erzhu is really a rare visitor here."

Dou Tai said politely.

But Er Zhubi pointed at Duan Shao with a straight face and asked, "Why is Duan Rong's son in your army?"

Gao Huan was sent by Er Zhurong to guard Xiaohuang City, his old nest, and Dou Tai was sent by Er Zhurong to guard Yongqiu City.The distance between the two cities is not that close, Duan Rong and Duan Shao followed Gao Huan in Little Yellow City.

To be able to appear in Yongqiu at this moment, Gao Huan must have appointed Duan Shao to deliver the news.As for what news was conveyed, Er Zhubi still had no way of knowing, but obviously it would not be a good thing!

Now Duan Shao and Dou Tai's behavior is a taboo in the army no matter where they are!

"puff!"

This is the sound of weapons piercing flesh.

The tall and tall Duan Shao grabbed Er Zhubi's hair, pulled out a short knife from his waist, and stabbed Er Zhubi into the opponent's abdomen!Dou Tai's pupils shrank suddenly, Duan Shao was obviously prepared with a sharp blade in his body.

If I wanted to turn against the water in the study just now, I'm afraid the knife would have stabbed me in the abdomen!Seeing what Er Zhubi wanted to say, Duan Shao coldly pulled out his dagger, and stabbed him several times!

All this happened in a blink of an eye, and when Dou Tai came back to his senses, Er Zhubi was already lying on the ground twitching, and he seemed to be out of breath but not in.

"Uncle, don't stop and suffer from the chaos. There is no turning back when you open the bow, so you must order troops now, and go to Xingyang by boat from Xiaohuangcheng!"

Duan Shao said firmly.

Thinking of Er Zhurong always leaving the most troublesome things to himself, it seems that there is nothing good.Dou Tai gritted his teeth and said, "If that's the case, then let's go all out! Follow me to order soldiers!"

If Gao Huan and Duan Rong could still argue that they were attacked by the white robe army and had to retreat, Dou Tai who let Er Zhubi die in Yongqiu obviously couldn't justify himself.

This time it will be reversed if it is not reversed!

He couldn't help but look at Duan Shao, who was decisive in handling things, and secretly sighed in his heart, Duan Rong really gave birth to a good son.

……

It was already dawn, and Er Zhurong stayed up all night, just waiting for news from Er Zhubi.

The quietness in Kaocheng really worried him a little.He never really trusted He Bayue, Gao Huan and others.I believe those people feel the same way about him.

He Bayue sent out to give him reinforcements and prevent Liu Yishou from running away.And Dou Tai is to guarantee his own way out.Er Zhurong had to go and confirm.

"uncle……"

Er Zhuzhao walked up to Er Zhurong, hesitant to speak.

"How about the whole army retreat to Yongqiu City for repairs?" Er Zhuzhao asked with some embarrassment.

It is possible to retreat, but Liu Yishou will not wait for you forever.

"Soldiers are precious! Let's go now!" Er Zhurong ordered in a deep voice.

There is no shortage of food and grass in Suiyang. As long as Suiyang is conquered and Liu Yi's garrison is eliminated, it doesn't matter what tricks Dou Tai and others play, as long as they clear the house along the way.

It's just that it's still hard for him to believe that Dou Tai, who is usually submissive, dares to do anything arrogant.

Er Zhurong's team continued to march, and far away, there was a small fishing boat on the Bian River, which was also slowly moving along.

"Uncle, there is a boat on the river, it seems to be following us." Er Zhuzhao pointed to the distance.But Er Zhurong lowered his head to think about things, and didn't pay attention to the surrounding situation at all.

"You don't care what those fishing boats do, let them go. Will the people above come to the shore to assassinate me? Let's think about how to attack Suiyang. At the beginning, Qiu Daqian built nine cities around Suiyang, but Liu Yishou did not." It is possible to divide the troops to garrison and cause us some trouble."

Er Zhurong raised his head and asked back with some displeasure.He has always felt that Er Zhuzhao's mind is not very bright, and now it seems that it is indeed the case.

"Uncle is right."

After being reprimanded, Er Zhuzhao shut up embarrassingly.

"Report to the Governor, there is no change in Ningling City ahead, and there is no army ambushing around Ningling!"

A scout ran over from a distance, saluted Er Zhurong, and continued running forward after reporting.

"After returning to Luoyang after this battle, it is necessary to break up and reorganize the trilogy of Gao Huan, He Bayue, Dou Tai and others. If things go on like this, the tail will not go away, and there will always be accidents!"

Er Zhurong sat on the horse and looked ahead, and said bitterly.

"What uncle said is very true."

Er Zhuzhao echoed, not only did the oppressive feeling not decrease, but it became heavier.

Chapter 246 What's wrong with Governor Liu?

It was late at night, a team of mixed infantry and cavalry marched quietly along the river on the north bank of the Sui River, without lighting any torches.Of course, this will definitely leave some soldiers behind.But compared to the suddenness of the attack, such a loss is nothing to talk about.

are within the acceptable range.

The bright moonlight and the reflection of the river barely allowed them to see the road ahead.Not far from the ferry, there was a torch lit on a thick wooden pole. There was not even a small wooden boat in the ferry, it was empty.

There is a river to the south of the ferry, and a road to the north, and a small city can be vaguely seen, it is undoubtedly Ningling City!

"Uncle, the road we are walking now happens to pass between Suishui and Ningling. If we are ambushed here, I'm afraid..."

Among the team, Er Zhuzhao said to Er Zhurong beside him in a deep voice.In order to prevent accidents, they all led the horses and marched carefully.

Now this place is indeed very unfavorable to passing troops, the Sui River is to the south, deep enough to drown people!To the north is Ningling City, and only the east and west ends can be walked.

It is even inconvenient for them to send scouts to investigate, because they cannot light a torch to reveal the location!

"It's okay, let's come quietly, people in Ningling City are not night owls, who is okay to watch the night at the ferry?"

Er Zhurong said disapprovingly.

He knew very well that this march was a bit risky.But how to put it, when fighting a war, all military operations are risks, there is no sure-fire plan, it is just a gamble on the probability.

"Even if we are attacked, as long as we form an army by the river to protect ourselves, and then send a messenger to ask for help, there will be no problem. Gao Huan from Xiaohuangcheng, Dou Tai from Yongqiu City, He Bayue from Kaocheng. Come here, you can clear the siege, and then counter-kill.

Even if Liu Yishou wanted to make a move, he only had one chance! "

Divide into a joint attack!The basics of the art of war!

At the beginning, Ge Rong gathered all his soldiers and horses and couldn't deploy them. If he lost all the way, the whole team would collapse.This time he has deployed his troops, as long as the first wave is delayed, when the reinforcements arrive, the middle will bloom and surround them on all sides.

Not to mention Liu Yishou, even if Chen Qingzhi came with the white-robed army, there is nothing to be afraid of!

What's more, Er Zhurong has inspected the heads sent by Liu Yishou where there are white robes, and they are definitely "freshly baked".Moreover, the braids of southerners and northerners are still very different, and they can be identified with a little glance. These heads must have come from Liang Guo.

Who else could there be besides the White Robe Army?

"Uncle is right."

Er Zhuzhao nodded slightly. What Er Zhurong said made sense.

"At the beginning, Liu Yishou often said that spiders cannot be made by chance. No matter how powerful Liu Yishou is, he still needs elite soldiers to defeat us.

Without the soldiers and horses that can be obtained, everything is false. "

Er Zhurong said with a slight sigh.

You can lay out pocket formations, but the pockets are too thin to hold the boa constrictor, and will be strangled to death and swallowed by the boa constrictor instead.Er Zhurong has a clear understanding of all these, although this time is an adventure, it is not without backup.

The Huainan River is vertical and horizontal, and the support is convenient.If Liu Yishou can use it, so can he!

At this moment, countless torches were ignited outside Ningling City not far away, and one after another flatbed carts were tied up with iron chains outside the city gate, showing a crescent shape.Hundreds of people lined up behind.

"Catch Er Zhurong alive! Capture Er Zhurong alive!"

Those people were clamoring desperately, beating drums and shouting, and the bed crossbow set up on the flatbed truck was shooting slowly towards the river, with a very stable frequency!

"Pass down the order, protect yourself in the circle, don't move rashly, protect the horses! Send fast horses to Xiaohuang City, Kao City, and Yongqiu City to ask for help! Don't light torches!"

Er Zhurong ordered calmly, without panic.

To say it was a surprise, of course it was a bit of a surprise.But to be honest, in the case of a solid formation, the bed crossbow can't cause much damage to the army.

If the formation is messed up and tramples on each other, it will be the end.

These soldiers under Er Zhurong's command are all elite soldiers who have experienced hundreds of battles, and they will never be in a mess just because they are attacked by bed crossbows.Soon, Erzhu Rongjun stabilized his position, while the shooting speed of Ningling defenders slowed down.

"Take your cavalry from the headquarters and attack on the flank!"

Er Zhurong said to Er Zhuzhao expressionlessly.

"Everyone lit the torches and prepared to fight back!"

Er Zhurong continued to give orders, and the surrounding area lit up in an instant. Er Zhurong's army was no less than a mile along the length of the river, like a fire dragon.Those who were just attacked only accounted for a very small part.

Er Zhuzhao led the cavalry to detour, like a left uppercut, towards the defenders formed outside Ningling City.The gate of Ningling City was actually open, and the defenders saw that the situation was not good, and swarmed into the city, the scene was once extremely funny!

But when Er Zhuzhao rushed over with his men, the hundreds of defenders had already entered the city.The soft bows and arrows from the top of the city shot towards the city, and Er Zhuzhao's troops were almost unscathed.

Unwilling, Er Zhuzhao brought his people back, walked up to Er Zhurong and cupped his hands, saying, "Those bastards have entered the city, and there is nothing we can do about them for a while."

Er Zhurong was also disgusted by these people under Liu Yishou's command. He didn't lose many people, but he delayed the marching time. I'm afraid the defenders of Suiyang City are already prepared!

"When Suiyang is captured, turn around and deal with these people, and slaughter the city!"

Er Zhurong glanced at Ningling City, and said bitterly.

"Send the order, continue to march, speed up!"

The "Fire Dragon" started to move, and Er Zhurong felt that since the army had exposed its position, there was no need to hide it.Even if Suiyang City had a few hours of warning, it would not be able to make too many preparations.

After walking a few steps, Er Zhurong suddenly felt palpitations.On the Bian River in the direction of Ningling, there is a glowing red dot looming.Er Zhurong was disturbed by the firelight on his side, so he couldn't see clearly.

He handed the torch to Er Zhuzhao, rode out of the team, and disappeared into the darkness, allowing his eyes to adapt to the darkness.On the pitch-black Bian River, that lantern like a will-o’-the-wisp, that little red spot, looks so dazzling in the dark, it makes one’s heart shudder!

Er Zhurong returned to the team without saying a word. Seeing Er Zhuzhao's concerned eyes, he shook his head slightly and said, "It's okay, let's go."

……

On the small fishing boat on the Bian River, Liu Yishou stared intently at the flames in the distance. As for the big red lantern hanging behind him, he didn't want to look at it because it was very intrusive.

"General Yuan, let me ask you, if two people of equal strength fight alone with swords. Under normal circumstances, how will the outcome be?"

Liu Yishou asked seemingly casually.

"On the battle formation, personal martial arts are of no great use. Even after the formation is scattered, countless people are hacked to death by their own people."

Yuan Shikang said thoughtfully.Because of the blind spots involved in knowledge, Wang Wei was a primary school student quietly, not daring to say a word.

"If you are fighting alone, and the strength is equal...the one who draws the sword first will have a great possibility of losing."

For this sentence, Yuan Shikang is not very sure, he just depends on his feeling.After all, when he was Yuan Xu's guard back then, if someone assassinated him, he couldn't have drawn his sword first, the assassin must have drawn his sword first.

"That's right, if you fight alone, the one who makes the first move is very likely to be attacked later. The first move means revealing the intention in advance."

The fishing boat was floating on the river, and under the faint moonlight in the distance, Yuan Shikang was astonished to vaguely see someone crossing the river on a special bamboo raft!

No, in a nutshell, it's more like building a pontoon bridge with bamboo rafts, and the speed of crossing the river is extremely fast!

"Most of the white-robed army under Chen Qingzhi's command came from fishermen in the water village. For them, crossing the river is just like playing. Zhao Gui should have finished fighting. The rest is up to the white-robed army."

Liu Yishou sighed lightly, feeling like he was relieved from a heavy burden.

Of course, it is impossible for him to let Zhao Gui take the lead in fighting Er Zhurong!Zhao Gui's troops have only one purpose, which is to turn Er Zhurong's army from darkness to light.

Once turned to the bright spot, the white-robed army knew where they were.It's like a room with lights can't see the darkness in the distance, but a hunter in the darkness in the distance can see the light from a long distance!

"My lord, our journey is actually to send a letter to Chen Qingzhi, right? Hanging up the lantern is the white-robed army's work."

Wang Wei finally figured out why they wanted to "accompany" Er Zhurong all the way along the Bian River.
