Spring and Autumn I Am King

Chapter 217: Autumn Sun (2)

Finally, Zhao Wuxi came to the courtyard of the village temple where the soldiers gathered to rest. Net (.u starter)

The morning sun is about to rise, and the dew on the withered grass begins to evaporate.

In response to Wu Xie's promise last night, when the chefs were killing the sky outside, they also wore leather belts to sharpen their knives and slaughter sheep. This will boil the fragrant broth and the soft and delicious water-infused cakes, which are served in a large kettle, to reward everyone, and a few meat sauces with enough salt to taste, and the amount is large enough.

For a time, the only sound left in the yard was the sound of sucking and swallowing, as well as the "gurgling" sound when drinking soup. Occasionally, those with poor psychological tolerance, after eating half of the meal, when the chopsticks and chopsticks caught the meat, suddenly thought of the enemy who had personally assassinated last night, as well as the several charred corpses in the explosion, and suddenly felt nauseated and vomited.

These people were kicked out of the yard by the military officials and asked them to go to the toilet to solve the problem. Don't be a disgusting person, which caused a burst of laughter.

After eating, the exhaustion from the hard battle came up, and everyone's eyelids were heavy, and they all wanted to lie down and sleep immediately.

"Boom!"

However, at this moment, he heard a rapid gong sound from the back door.

"An enemy is attacking!?" Everyone fell asleep, stood up immediately, and hurriedly held the weapons thrown aside.

"Don't panic! It's better to rest in batches, half of them stay, and half of them come with me."

Having said that, Zhao Wuxi still felt a little heavy along the way. Although just now he vowed to make those who attack Chengxiang pay the price, but if the enemy counterattacks so quickly and kills him with reinforcements, Chengxiang will really be unable to fight alone!

However, when he reached the back door, across the ruins, Zhao Wuxi looked out, but in the distance there was only one person and one horse, running and stopping in this direction, while looking left and right. Looking very alert.

Zhao Wuxi was relieved when he saw who was on the horse.

"Sneaky, I thought it was an enemy spy, Mucha, go out and call him in!"

...

Yu Xi rides alone. He drove his horse across the rubble and walked into the back door that was completely destroyed by the rammed wood and explosion. Zhao Wuxi saw that his mount was covered in sweat, presumably because it was galloping all the way.

"Gentleman, where are the robbers?" Yu Xi's horse was picked from the stable garden of the lower palace. The bow and arrow were placed on the saddle and used at any time. He was still carefully observing, wondering whether this Chengxiang was in the hands of his own people or had fallen to the enemy.

Seeing the tragic scene here, arrow feathers, blood, and broken weapons all over the ground, he felt even more uneasy.

It was not until Mu Xia went out to reveal the curtain that Yu Xi's heart was put back in his stomach.

However, as he walked in, Yu Xi was a little stunned. According to the information he had obtained before, didn't it say that nearly 2,000 pirates came to besiege him? From the few words of several doctors in the lower palace. He also heard that this is not an ordinary pirate, but an elite disguised as a hostile Qing clan. Now, what about people?

"I was beaten, killed, and caught, and only a few people escaped!" After interrogating the prisoners, Tian Ben came over to report to Zhao Wuxi, and dragged Yu Xi to ask for it. Take him to see the mountains of corpses nearby.

Zhao Wuxi kicked the evil boy away angrily. After asking, I learned that Yu Xi took his token last night and went to ask for help. It wasn't until the middle of the night that he arrived at the lower palace.

The lower palace was also in a wartime state, very vigilant and efficient. After waiting for a while, Yu Xi was summoned by the four doctors, and he said what Zhao Wuxi had instructed.

The doctors discussed for a while, and then went out together under the whisper of a black-clothed guard. After returning, everyone smiled and decided to send troops to rescue immediately!

Yu Xi was overjoyed and immediately volunteered. He asked Jia's cavalry to stay behind to lead the way for the reinforcements in the lower palace, while he rode to the front and was in charge of the detective.

The family Sima You guessed wrongly that this was an attack launched by the hostile Qing clan pretending to be pirates. Then, there would definitely be a backhand. Perhaps, there would be an ambush in the middle of the road.

Therefore, although they agreed to rescue, they were careful everywhere, and sent a lot of spies to all directions, and Yu Xi was one of them. With the safety of Chengxiang in mind, he relied on his horse skills to run directly to the most dangerous road.

However, along the way, he did not encounter any enemies, and only saw clues in some places: horse dung, ruts, and scattered footprints. But those footprints were all swept away by the branches, and he couldn't see where they were facing. He only knew that a large group of people had been stationed here, but for some reason, they hurriedly withdrew before dawn.

So, Yu Xi stopped and went all the way to Chengxiang. Because he was robbed in Shanyang before, he cautiously changed to Shanyin.

On Tian Ben's side, he used the power of "Tian Lei" to intimidate and beat some captured enemy officers to tell the truth. After the interrogation, the prisoners confessed that they were indeed the family soldiers of the Fan and Zhongxing clans, and the so-called Luliang thieves were also ordered by the two families.

"Sure enough, it is Fan and Bank of China's second ministers. I will avenge this revenge!"

After listening to Tian Ben's report, Zhao Wuxi was not only angry, but also puzzled.

After the battle last night, he had people repair the walls non-stop, making preparations to meet the enemy again. Unexpectedly, everything was calm this morning, and I couldn't help but feel strange to Fan and Bank of China's actions.

Yu Xi was pulled by the wounded Tian Ben again, boasting about the battle last night and the loud noise that made the enemy feel fearful. Hearing Yu Xi stomping his feet, he said that he missed the great opportunity to make meritorious deeds and gain insight.

After hearing that there was no enemy situation along the way and that reinforcements were coming, everyone relaxed again, yawning, and just wanted to go back to sleep.

"Don't be careless!" Zhao Wuqi was reminding himself and everyone that the nature of the attack was very obvious.

He once thought that the civil war of the Qing clan had broken out, but looking at Fan and Zhongxing's anticlimactic performance after the failure of the night attack, it didn't seem like they were going to fight on a large scale.

"Fan Yang, and Zhong Xingyin, what are these two cunning greedy wolves planning?"

After letting Yu Xi rest for a while, Zhao Wuxi took several cavalry servants from Chengxiang to inquire about the news, and welcomed the arrival of reinforcements from the lower palace.

...

Zhao Wuxi guessed the strange actions and plans of Fan and Bank of China here, while Hei Huo and Fan Jia of Bank of China, after Ming Jin's withdrawal, fled down the mountain unwillingly but fearfully.

The reason why they attacked the town at night is that they have made a lot of money by relying on wheat flour and porcelain for the past six months. See if Zhao Yang is really "dead"; thirdly, he wants to trap his territory, block the road, cause chaos in the Zhao family, and take the opportunity to do something elsewhere.

But after all, because Fan Yang was not in the capital. He is also worried that the rumor that "Zhao Qing is dead" is a conspiracy of Dong Anyu, a doctor in Jinyang. Therefore, before the information was confirmed, and before Fan Yang returned, they did not dare to attack the Zhao family with open flames.

According to the original plan of Bank of China Yin. If you pull Chengxiang, you can grab Zhao's throat and take the initiative. If he could lure Zhao's reinforcements and annihilate them in one fell swoop, then Zhao's situation around Xinjiang would be over.

Because within a hundred miles of Xinjiang, and even in the Hedong area, Bank of China and Fan have large connected territories. Compared with Lingyi and Xiaozong, which are scattered both inside and outside Taihang, or the Zhao clan on the northern border, the two have an absolute advantage.

But who knows. In the first step of the plan, there was a problem.

Chengxiang is not a piece of fat to be slaughtered, but a hard bone!

According to common sense, five hundred groups of thieves, together with one thousand carefully selected Fan and Zhonghang clan soldiers, and the Zhongxing Heihui, who is known as a well-known soldier, personally lead, is enough to easily crush this small town of a hundred households.

As a result, the robbers lost more than 200, and the soldiers of the two families only escaped and returned more than 500, and nearly half of them were killed or captured.

This was something they had never expected before. If you lose the battle, that's all. But the inexplicable loud noise made Fan and Zhongxing's soldiers feel a sense of fear in addition to the shadow of failure.

so. When Fan Jia and Bank of China Heihum brought the remnants to the original meeting place and ambush, they exaggerated and terrified everyone who was waiting there.

"The power of ghosts?"

Sima, the Zhongxing clan's family member, who set up an ambush on the only way to stop the Zhao clan's reinforcements from the lower palace, had a gloomy face. He looked at the pale faces of the two gentlemen, as well as the lost eyes and scars of the remaining soldiers. Don't dare to lie.

In case, there will be a thunderbolt that hits his head, how can it be good?

The plan was interrupted, coupled with the atmosphere of defeat brought back by Fan Jia and Bank of China Heigong, the family Sima lost his fighting spirit, and simply withdrew his troops before the night was over.

This is why Yu Xi came to inquire all the way, only to see traces, but no soldiers in ambush.

This conspiracy, under the fear of the "power of ghosts and gods" by ignorant enemies, turned into an anticlimactic farce.

...

Half an hour after Yu Xi left, the orange-red autumn sun had already risen.

Although Zhao Wuxi guessed that what he did last night would definitely spread, but who would have expected Fan and Bank of China's ambush soldiers to retreat in a panic. He also blamed the other party's plan for being too hasty, which seemed to be linked together, but in fact, as long as there was a problem with one detail, it would all be voided.

Wu Xie didn't know that there were still so many twists and turns. He was thinking hard about the other party's intentions, but he heard someone from the watchtower reporting: "Gentleman, there are hundreds of infantrymen going up the mountain from the north!"

It stands to reason that it should be the reinforcements that Yu Xi went to meet, but still be careful, Wu Xian asked everyone to put on their armor, clench their weapons, and prepare to meet the enemy.

When the order was given at this moment, the military officers immediately took their places, shouting orders without shirts while running.

Different from the panic in the first battle last night, everyone seems to be very organized now.

Leaning against the wall, the dozing soldiers stood up agitatedly, and the people of the country who heard the news also spontaneously gathered from nearby.

In just a moment, hundreds of people have already lined up. In a short period of time, everything in the village is full of splendor. Everyone is looking at Zhao Wuxi with their heads raised, and they can play at any time with just a wave of his arms.

"The soldiers who have seen blood~lightnovelpub.net~ are very different!"

Zhao Wuxi was very satisfied. After what happened last night, his unattainable prestige rose again. If Chengxiang had prestige, it would definitely break through the worship of the sky now.

The corpses at the back door were almost cleaned up. The prisoners were forced to carry earth and bricks, blocked the door, built a low parapet, and re-fenced the outside. war!

At this time, the people on the opposite side can gradually see it clearly: the fiery red autumn sun occupies the center of the white flag, and below it is a pure black black bird flying with wings.

It is the totem of the Zhao family, and it is the Yanri Xuanbird Flag! (To be continued.)
