Drunk Yangzhou

For three or four days in a row, Fu Yiting's people did not appear in the Fangshan area again, but traces of the imperial army and horses appeared in the north again. Many of Shi Yusheng's spies never returned, which made him more anxious about the situation.

It wasn't until the fifth day that Hu Er rushed into Shi Yusheng's main camp angrily, "Your Majesty, the people of the King of Qin came, but they refused to believe it. They said that they wanted to hear the news, and they had to hand in a silver ticket of 5 taels."

"Damn it! Isn't this just taking advantage of the fire?!" Shi Yu cursed angrily, greeted the three generations of Fu Yiting's ancestors, but felt a little relieved in his heart. This is indeed Fu Yiting's style of doing things. He will do anything for the sake of profit. , he wanted to keep this secret iron mine, but also blackmailed himself.

"Go to Curry and get him the banknote." Shi Yusheng gritted his teeth and ordered Hu Er, secretly vowing that after getting the news this time, he will preemptively strike and kill the court!

The horse bandits in western Shanxi were relatively loose in discipline and acted a little out of order. They shouldn't have become a serious problem for the imperial court, but the deep and steep mountain forests have become a natural barrier. The information bought from Fu Yiting, in just a few days, has already damaged hundreds of Fu family's gold-armored soldiers dressed in court uniforms.

At the time of Fang Jiaoyin, there was a hazy light at the foot of the cloud, and a group of remnant soldiers escaped from the mountains in the north, rode their horses and went straight to the general's tent, "My lord! General!"

"How's the battle going?" Lu Yanqing also stayed up all night, and when he heard their shouts, he hurriedly raised the tent to welcome them out.

"My lord, you don't know how vicious this Shi Yusheng is..." The soldier's face was covered with blood, and he choked up and said, "He set up an animal trap on the mountain road north of the stone building, and many of our soldiers and horses were killed." Stepping in, the trap is full of sharp weapons that have been quenched with poison... More than half of the brothers failed to survive..."

Lu Yanqing subconsciously looked at Fu Yiting beside him. Most of the soldiers and horses belonged to him. Sure enough, he saw that his complexion was as cold as ice, but there was a contemptuous sneer on the corner of his mouth, as if he had expected such an ending.

Lu Yanqing suppressed the doubts in his heart, and said to the soldier: "Where is Vice General Wu? Why didn't you come back with you?"

With trembling hands, the soldier handed over a bloody package, "The deputy general was captured by them... this is what their second leader asked us to bring back..."

Lu Yanqing's eyes froze, and he tore off the package to see that it was just a few severed fingers soaked in blood, and there was a jade ring on the thumb, which belonged to Vice General Wu.

Lu Yanqing waved his hand to signal them to go down and rest, and returned to the tent with an indescribable mood. He had already confirmed that someone had disclosed the bandit suppression action plan to Shi Yusheng in advance.

Fu Yiting followed him into the account, and said slowly, "Lord Lu, the task of suppressing bandits is far more difficult than imagined, right?"

"In the current situation, Lu is really a little confused." Lu Yanqing took a deep breath, turned around, and stared into Fu Yiting's eyes with a complicated expression, "Lu didn't expect that the prince's conspiracy has been calculated. .”

"Since Mr. Lu sees clearly, Fu Mou will not hide it." Fu Yiting smiled triumphantly, and said in a low voice, "I can't bear the golden spear head, where can I catch this old arrow king?"

Lu Yanqing already understood most of it in his heart, but he was dissatisfied with him acting behind his back, and said angrily: "My lord, let alone your soldiers who lead the way, just say that the morale of these few battles has been blunted by half, how bad it is. We act? Have you considered it?"

Fu Yiting wasn't angry either, he just took out a map of Fangshan from his bosom, on which several Hangus were circled with a vermilion pen.

"If you don't use this strategy, you won't be able to break Shi Yusheng's chain of three passes." Fu Yiting handed him the map, "Here, Shi Yusheng uses the clear and steep mountains as a pool, and uses spring water to store it. There are continuous isolated mountains on both sides, and the gaps are narrow, and the water floods out, extremely turbulent. This is called Jinshui Pass."

"The second is Huanghuo Pass. The dead firewood and leaves that have been accumulated for decades are already extremely flammable, not to mention the large pits full of strong oil that have been dug for dozens of miles under the ground. If an army passes by, it only needs to be destroyed." A single fire feather arrow can turn thousands of soldiers into scorched corpses."

Hearing this description, Lu Yanqing felt chills all over in the midsummer weather, "What about the last test?"

"It's Iron Arrow Pass, and it's his main stronghold. We can't figure out the situation here, so we have to try our best to get him out of it. If we don't give him some sweets first, and lure him into the trap, we will lose the initiative Quan, when we enter the mountains, Shi Yusheng will definitely use various methods to force us to enter the ambush of the three gates, and all the ministries will suffer heavy losses." Fu Yiting said up to this point, a gleam of light flashed in the dark pupils, "Furthermore, arrogant A soldier must be defeated. This is an eternal truth."

Lu Yanqing knew that although his strategy was dangerous, there was some truth to it, most of the resentment subsided, and he thought for a moment before saying: "Prince Qin, are you sure that Shi Yusheng can fall into the trap?"

"I understand him, and he understands me. I know how to convince him." Fu Yiting thought of the tens of thousands of taels of silver in hand, and only smiled secretly, "As for the morale that Mr. Lu is worried about, I have ten thousand taels of silver to reward , my soldiers of Fu Yiting, as long as they have silver, they can avoid the axe!"

In the middle of the night, several generals quietly entered Lu Yanqing's main tent, their brows were full of anxiety.

"Lord Lu, our doubts have been in our hearts for several days. If we don't say anything, I'm afraid this bandit suppression will fail!"

Lu Yanqing had just taken off his armor and was only wearing a water suit. He waved his hand to signal them to sit down, "Do you think that these few battles have been lost for no reason?"

"That's right! The old Arrow King always seems to know our actions in advance. First, he evacuated ahead of time, and now he is still ambushing and attacking..." A general frowned, "Lord Lu, it's not to disturb the morale of the army. We all think that we There must be an inner ghost!"

Lu Yanqing's sharp eyes swept over their faces, and he laughed, "Are you suspicious of King Qin?"

Several generals looked at each other in blank dismay, without saying a word, just bowed their heads by default.

Lu Yanqing stood up and paced back and forth, "Don't forget, these few battles, although in the name of the imperial court, were still in front of King Qin's army. What's more...he wants to invite and suppress the bandits, so there is no reason to betray us ah!"

"We can't figure it out, but we know the battle plan, and there are only a few officials in the court. Xin Qi and the old Arrow King are in the same situation, and it is impossible to send a message for him. Only this King Qin has been active in the west... Who is it?" Know what he's up to."

Attacking the city is the bottom, attacking the heart is the top.Hearing everyone's suspicion, Lu Yanqing's heart moved, but he came up with a way to push the boat along, and immediately smiled darkly, "Well, in the past two days, you should first investigate the spies inside the army one by one, and make the noise as loud as possible, but don't mention King Qin at all. .”

"Why is that?" Everyone looked puzzled.

"Now there are only six days left before the deadline given by the Holy Majesty. But I still haven't found Shi Yusheng's camp... If the suppression of the bandits fails, I, Lu, will be the first to lose my position." Lu Yanqing resolutely said: "I won't Joking about your future and the face of the court, according to my method, wait another three days, if it still doesn't work, our northern and southern armies will directly attack Fangshan in an all-round way!"

Lu Yanqing was well-known among the generals, although the generals were puzzled, they couldn't think of a better way, so they decided to follow his orders, clasped their hands together and said, "Decree!"
