Drunk Yangzhou

three days later

The night is full of moonlight, and thousands of emerald green yue are covering a large array of military tents. All the troops have rested their fireworks and braziers, and they just pack up quietly. This night is the first battle with the old Arrow King. Everyone thinks Victory in the first battle, silently accumulating strength.

Fu Yiting changed into the imperial black armor, and wrapped the canary whip around his back. After everything was settled, he asked Zheng Qian to lead the horse. After waiting for a stick of incense, the guy ran over panting and led Ta Ye.

"What are you doing so dawdly! Don't you know there will be a surprise attack tonight?" Fu Yiting scolded.

"Master! Don't you know... just now it..." Zheng Qian pouted and pointed at Ta Ye, "This bastard has no shame, and went out with Yi Ri in that forest! Ma Na is too big, and Stuck inside and unable to get out, Yizhi and I struggled for a long time before we separated."

"Ah?" Fu Yiting's heart skipped a beat.Although the two guards of Xiao Ge went to Congchang to lead Yiri out, they rushed to Lishan because of the accident at that time, and threw him halfway, and Yiri went back to Congchang by himself... Afterwards, with Ta Ye, Follow around Fu Yiting.

"Is it time to estrus? It seems that there is no mare in the barracks." Fu Yiting looked under the horse's belly, and sure enough, the thing was still wet and dripping muddy white mucus on the ground.

Zheng Qian explained: "In midsummer, it is easy to get hot and dry. In addition, in the past few days to prevent sneak attacks, the outside of the stable is brightly lit all night. Stimulated by this light, it will..."

Fu Yiting covered his thin lips with his hands, coughed lightly, and couldn't help showing a narrow smile. He stepped forward and approached Zheng Qian, and asked in a low voice, "Is Ta Ye on it?"

Zheng Qian didn't follow them to Congchang in the spring, so he didn't know about Xiao Ge's taming of the sun, and he couldn't figure out why Fu Yiting asked such a question, he just thought he was curious, and replied: "Yes."

"Hahahaha! Very competitive." Fu Yiting was in a great mood when he heard that, seeing that Lu Yanqing had ordered his soldiers and walked off the commanding platform, he got serious and led Ta Ye to meet him.

"My lord, let's lead the army to set off!" Lu Yanqing looked at Fu Yiting's heroic and upright figure, and felt that he looked like a general.During these days spent together day and night in the military camp, he found that although Prince Qin usually looked like a dandy and dissolute, he did not miss his job at all, and he had a unique ability to settle things while laughing and wrangling.

In fact, because of Zheng Qian's description, Fu Yiting and Xiao were thinking about Xiao Ge. At this time, his mind was full of nonsense, but he didn't show it on his face, with a solemn appearance, "My two thousand golden soldiers are all listening to your lord's orders." , despite the arrangement."

"Okay!" With Fu Yiting's guarantee, Lu Yanqing's heart was also ignited with fighting spirit. He got on the horse, raised the sword in his hand, and shouted loudly: "Let's go!"

The tide of the fast-moving army is generally flowing among the mountains. Almost everyone reported the hope of victory, eager to kill a few more horse bandits, especially the few imperial officers who followed in the middle of the team. He didn't pay attention to the old Arrow King, and even thought that he could take advantage of this battle and go straight to his old nest, so that he could return to the capital quickly - after all, the capital is more comfortable than this ghostly place too much.

Lu Yanqing rode his horse at the head of the team, carefully observing the surrounding mountains with a pair of sharp eyes, the more he moved forward, the more panicked he felt in his heart. It is said that the area ahead is often haunted by Shi Yusheng, but at this moment he can't see it Traces, such silence gave him a bad premonition.

Lu Yanqing waved his hand to signal the troops to stop advancing, and sent three advance teams up the mountain from the north, west, and east sides. Within a quarter of an hour, the troops in the middle released signal flares.

So they went deep into the mountains, seeing the situation here, several court generals were dumbfounded.This was obviously the place where the horse bandits had been stationed for a long time, and there were still some messy bowls and ladles piled up in some caves, but the weapon racks were empty, the bonfires and oil lamps were all extinguished, and there were no looted treasures.

Lu Yanqing only felt his heart sink heavily, he quickly got off his horse, pushed aside some remaining firewood poles, and stretched his hands into the already silent ashes, he really felt a trace of warmth that was about to dissipate.

Lu Yanqing frowned, feeling suspicious.It was already extremely concealed for them to march northward by themselves. Even if Shi Yusheng's spies caught them, they shouldn't have predicted the location of the imperial court's surprise attack... What's more, the timing of their retreat was too coincidental.

This first battle came to nothing, how should the follow-up plan be advanced?Lu Yanqing felt even more guilty when he thought that this strategy was determined by himself.

The people who were full of fighting spirit just now searched the empty cottage, and they all felt an overwhelming sense of frustration.

Fu Yiting's expression was normal, and he was still playing with the jade tiger around his waist. Seeing that Lu Yanqing's face was not good-looking, he comforted him: "Master Lu, this horse bandit is indeed very cunning... We still have a chance in the future, so don't worry."

"What the lord said is true." Lu Yanqing replied, but she was still very breathless, so she thrust her sword back into her waist and ordered: "Continue to pursue north!"

Luliang Fangshan

The sky is gray, and the clear and continuous hills are shrouded in clouds. From a distance, you can only see layers of indistinct light blue veins scattered on the steep ocher loess, and you can't see any traces of military horses stationed. If you go deep into the forest and look at the surrounding hillsides, you will see a thatched hut every few miles beside the Jiuqu Mountain road, and there are occasional figures moving inside, all of which are Shi Yusheng's guards watching with bows and arrows. .

Shi Yusheng's main village is located in the deepest part of Heyan Mountain. It looks inconspicuous from the outside, like an earthen kiln on the Loess Plateau, but inside the village there is a cave, and several large long tables can accommodate hundreds of people to drink and have fun. The beams are all hung with high-quality red silk, and there are thirteen or four tiger skins on the throne alone.

At this moment, his main village was empty, only the miserable moans of the young girl echoed in the huge space, and Shi Yusheng was stripping her arms and pressing her on the throne to do lascivious things.

"That's not enough? It's not over yet!" Shi Yusheng shook off the sweat on his fat face, and was about to change his posture to start again, but found that the weak girl had already passed out.

He spat, then pointed to the boy beside him and said, "Take off your clothes and lie down!"

The young man was so frightened that he cried out, tremblingly undoing his belt, Shi Yusheng and others were impatient, and was about to drag him over, but Hu Er, the minion, pushed open the wooden door and happily reported: "Your Majesty! The letter is good, the imperial court did sneak attack on the three mountains in the south in the middle of the night, but it missed nothing and pursued northward, but failed to catch up with our second leader's team."

When Shi Yusheng heard this, his wretched expression just faded away, and he only showed a vicious and sinister smile, "The king of Qin emphasized in his letter before that he must do everything possible to protect the iron mines, and must not be known by the court. It seems that he really I am thinking about our iron mines, and I am afraid that the peace with the imperial court will fail because of the private weapon manufacturing before... It seems that I am paranoid?

"Before the king doubted the source of his information, it would not be uncommon to find someone with him in the court." Hu Er was a little regretful, "If we talk about this battle, we can't count as winning. If we do it in Shilou Sanshan Lay an ambush, it is estimated that the imperial court will suffer even worse."

"King Qin is a man blinded by greed. We don't know whether this news is accurate...how can we trust it?" Shi Yusheng thought for a while, "Send someone to contact the people of King Qin in the next few days. Let the brothers be ready to transfer at all times. Get ready, if necessary, you can do some ambush."

Hu Er responded, and was about to leave when Shi Yusheng called him back again, "By the way, our spies should continue to inquire, and report back immediately if they find any news!"
