Chapter 344

Where are the people?

Chapter 344 Where are the people?

Yang Xuan suffered from insomnia.

He, who has always slept well, is inexplicably full of worries.

Will the second child lead the sentry for the first time, will he encounter a strong enemy?
Will that stick hit the enemy without thinking?

Will it be...

Hey!
He hasn't become a father yet, but Yang Xuan can already imagine his future life.

A bunch of children grew up gradually, and then they went out to make their own fortunes. The old father worried about him all day long...

"This day...isn't very interesting!"

Since I couldn't fall asleep, I just got up and went out to blow some air.

The night breeze was refreshing, and Yang Xuan saw the old thief.

"Can't sleep?"

The old thief nodded, "Close your eyes and think about the second child, hey! Old man!"

"Cough cough!"

Someone nearby coughed dryly, Yang Xuan and the old thief looked up.

Tu Chang walked out slowly.

"Can't sleep?" the old thief asked gloatingly.

"Can't sleep."

Yang Xuan smiled and said, "Sit down!"

The three of them sat under the starry sky, feeling gradually relieved.

"Is Tu Gong's grandson smart?"

"Smart and filial, just playful."

"A child is not a child if he is not playful!"

"Lang Jun was playful when he was young?"

"Running all over the mountains and plains, playing wild."

"Oh! That's about the same as the old man's grandson."

"Tu Gong, why do you think this old man is taking advantage of your husband?"

……

In the woods, the strong wind blows through the branches and leaves, and the sound made is disturbing.

"It's like ghosts crying and wolves howling!" The night watchman shrank his neck.

Outside the forest, Wang Lao Er came over with his subordinates.

A sergeant pointed to the top of the big tree in front of him, implying that there were people on the tree.

Wang Laoer touched it quietly. From behind, it looked like a big snake crawling slowly under the tree.

What am I thinking?

The sergeant who had this thought froze for a moment.

But they don't know that this is one of the Wang family's unique secret skills, the serpentine technique, which is specially used for stealth, and it is difficult for the opponent to detect.

The dark whistle on the tree is dozing off.

Little by little.

He woke up suddenly, seeing that there was no movement around him, he wrapped his sheepskin tightly, and muttered: "There is still half an hour to change people, but this is so full of urine."

It is most convenient to spread on the tree, but the movement is not small.Anshao crawled down, ready to pee.

Halfway through the climb, Anshao's feet slid down the tree trunk and was suddenly blocked.

what!
He remembered that there were no branches here, it should be bare, what is this?
He looked down.

A dark figure grabbed the trunk and smiled at him.

An Shao's liver and gallbladder were about to burst, and just about to scream, the black shadow rushed up, pinched his throat, and squeezed hard.

click!
Anshao's eyes lost their luster.

Wang Laoer hung him on a branch and slid down by himself.

"Get ready to set fire!"

Wang Laoer happily took out a can of kerosene.

That is to say, such a jar, which was originally intended to be used to light a fire for cooking, is now being used to kill people.

"Is it okay?" Someone was skeptical, "I'm afraid these trees can't be burned?"

Wang Laoer said: "There is a lot of grass in the forest, and there are many fallen leaves and dead branches on the ground...Maybe it will work! Try it and you won't die."

"Too."

A can of kerosene poured a line along the direction of the wind.

"Hey! Ready!" A sergeant was about to light the fire.

"Wait a minute." Wang Lao Er stopped him.

"What?"

"This is such a fun thing, of course I will come!"

This is a fight!
The crowd was full of black lines.

But the person in front of him is the darling of Mr. Shijun, and he cannot be offended.

Wang Laoer blew on the torch and bent over to light it.

call!
When the fire comes together, the wind comes.

"Run!"

Wang Lao Er was like after he blocked the chimney of the neighbor's house when he was a child, he was worried about being discovered and beaten by adults, so he ran away happily.

Two or three thousand enemy troops, although he longed for a head, he didn't want to ruin his life here.

Everyone turned and ran.

call!
The wind seemed to sense the arrival of the flames, and it blew bigger and bigger.

In the woods, someone opened his eyes in a daze, and when he saw the flames, he didn't scream, but was stunned, "Who lit the fire?"

The flames rolled up violently, the person rubbed his eyes, felt the heat wave, got up and screamed: "Fire!"

Most people are awake.

"It's on fire!"

"Run away!"

Xinyue said angrily: "Who started the fire? Turn around and kill him!"

But it is important to escape now!
Everyone ran towards the opposite direction of the flame.

But this is a forest, not a road, and it is difficult to see ahead in the dark, and people bump into trees or trip over from time to time, making a mess.

"Fire is coming!"

Someone shouted back, and then the flames rolled up and swept him in.

"what!"

The screams were short, and when everyone turned their heads, they saw a person dancing in the flames, then he staggered forward a few steps and fell down.

Grass mud horse!
This fire runs faster than people!

"Help!"

Someone fell down and stretched out his hand to pull his companion's feet. After pulling his companion down, he stood up scramblingly, and then both of them were engulfed in the flames.

Just like a drowning person clinging to rescue others, many times, when human beings encounter desperation, it is their instinct to hold the same kind.

In other words, if you want to die, you have to pull your back.

The more the letter is cultivated, the faster it runs.

But even so, he fell several times and bumped countless times.

Wang Lao Er returned to the rear with his subordinates. After getting on the horse, everyone turned their heads.

"My god!"

The wind is howling, and the flames are constantly expanding.

At this moment, the entire forest looked like a big fireball.

In the distance, Yang Xuan and the others who were chatting on the grass also saw this vision.

"Why is the sky turning red?" The old thief blinked and glanced at Yang Xuan.

Tu Chang asked, "What did you think of?"

The old thief said: "When I robbed the tomb, the old man saw an epitaph saying... the sky was red in the middle of the night, and I could see the phoenix nodding..."

Tu Chang felt a little ridiculous, "Whose tomb belongs to?"

"A prince."

"Fire Phoenix nodded to the prince...he is still the prince!" Tu Chang didn't have any good feelings for the so-called royal family, whether it was the Southern Zhou Dynasty or the Tang Dynasty.

The old thief glanced at Yang Xuan again, "That's not about the prince."

"Who is that?"

"Aye of the prince, the emperor!"

"Little Xuanzi, this is auspicious!" Suzaku exploded, "Fire Phoenix nodded to you, this is a good omen, hurry up and ask someone to get some fish, write a few notes and stuff them into the fish's belly... Big Tang Xing, King Zitai."

Yang Xuan's eyelids twitched a few times, and he decided to turn off the phone when he turned around.

……

Wang Laoer was also a little surprised, "How many people can be burned to death?"

"Great work!"

"However, we have few people. If the enemy army escapes, they will become angry with embarrassment. The law of war says that the mourning army will win, so let's run!"

Wang Lao Er asked, "Do you know the art of war?"

The sergeant nodded, "I heard what the old thief said."

Wang Laoer breathed a sigh of relief, "You have to listen to the old thief's words in reverse, come, follow me, let's go and have a look."

Everyone rode their horses around from the side, and occasionally the wind direction changed, and the heat waves blowing out made the horses neigh uncomfortably.

Xinyue rushed out of the forest, and then hundreds of people escaped one after another.

"Anything else?" Shinichi asked.

Everyone was silent.

Everyone was ashamed, and many people were burned by the fire and were howling miserably at the moment.

Shin-Etsu's hair was curled up by the flames, as if he had a cockscomb on his head.

"Three thousand iron cavalry, not a single arrow was fired, not a single Tang army was killed, nor was a penny stolen, just... gone!" A general knelt down and howled, "How can I explain to Khan when I go back!"

Before leaving, Zhang Zhuo had explained that they must suppress Jibobu during this trip.

Everyone looked at Shin-Etsu, if they were camping with Kiba, where would all this shit come from?

Xinyue was in a mess, and after feeling the resentment, he knew that he had to save himself.

"Someone lit a fire at night, which caused a fire!" Shinetsu's roar echoed in the night sky, "Although he is dead, his family must pay the price...to..."

"What sound?" Someone listened attentively.

The sound of hoofs gradually became clear.

"Hey! Some people seem to be alive here!"

Under the background of the flames, more than a hundred riders rushed over.

The leading young man's eyes lit up, "My head!"

……

early morning.

After Zhanbi woke up, he didn't care about anything else and practiced first.

Cultivation is like sailing against the current, if you do not advance, you will retreat.Every great achiever is one with great perseverance.

After training, take a shower, and then have breakfast.

Several generals gathered around him, eating a simple breakfast while mocking the Tiger Control Department.

"Calm down." Zhanbi took a few bites of the rest of the food, got up and said, "Yang Xuan's troops are going to pass the river in front of them. According to the agreement, we will attack from the right side."

After breakfast, the whole army assembled.

Zhanbi warned: "Yesterday the rangers were defeated, today we can no longer let the Tiger Control Department gain the upper hand, tell the warriors to fight bravely!"

Someone said: "What if the Tiger Control Department is on the sidelines?"

Zhanbi said lightly: "Zhang Zhuo will kill Shinyue!"

Someone explained, "The emperor's uncle is watching, and the two parts are secretly competing. If Xinyue dares to sit and watch at this time, before the emperor's uncle can do anything, Zhang Zhuo can kill him!"

Immediately set off.

Not far away, I saw a river meandering in front of me.

If you don't measure it by the standards of other places, this is a big river on the grassland, which is five paces wide.

"Go down and try!"

Someone went down to the river to test it.

"The water was waist deep."

The water was waist deep, just right for crossing on foot.

But at such times, it will be very slow for people to cross the river, and once they encounter a surprise attack, they will easily collapse.

"A good place!" Zhan Bi praised: "When Yang Gou's men and horses are halfway across, the two wings attack together, and he will be caught off guard."

The generals beside him also beamed with joy, "Zhanbi, why can't you kill Yang Gou?"

Zhanbi sat down, feeling the breeze blowing from the river, he couldn't help but feel refreshed, "Of course I can kill him, but the emperor doesn't allow it."

"Damn, he's too lenient!"

The subordinates were a little dissatisfied.

Zhanbi said quietly: "If you kill Yang Gou, Northern Xinjiang will definitely retaliate. Will the emperor send troops?"

"Then send troops and destroy them together."

"Stupid! What if Uncle Huang is defeated?"

Everyone looked at each other.

Someone tentatively asked: "If he is defeated, are we... going to take advantage of the trend to rebel?"

"The reason why the three major departments have been developing slowly these years is not because of us, but because we are surrounded at both ends, and there is no new pasture..."

Zhanbi sighed, "Chenzhou is not a pasture, Tanzhou is... a good place."

"Yes! I have been to that place, and the pasture is rich."

"It's a pity that it's not our territory."

Zhanbi took a deep breath, "Beiliao has never treated us as our own people. Uncle Huang treats us like dogs, does not feed us, and even blackmails us. Tell me, if we have the opportunity, how should we repay Beiliao? "

Everyone was silent, but their eyes were piercing.

Zhanbi said softly: "Of course we want to fight each other with swords and guns, burn, kill and loot!"

For the three major departments, development is the last word.

But to the south is Chenzhou, and to the north is Tanzhou, leaving a place in the middle for them to survive.

It's okay to live, but talking about development is a bit of nonsense.

All previous khans have been staring at Chenzhou, and those who dare to stare at Tanzhou are all heroes.

Now that the Tang Dynasty is in decline, the three major departments will naturally move closer to Beiliao and the emperor's uncle.

But what if the Tang Dynasty is strong?

This thought flashed through everyone's minds and then dissipated.

But someone asked: "Zhanbi, do you think Datang may rise again?"

"cannot!"

"Why?"

"Go and read the history books, but who can rise again in any country that shows signs of decline?"

"Why is this?"

"I don't know either." Zhanbi said with a smile, "I guess it's rotten!"

Someone said longingly: "If Yang Gou can be captured alive in this battle..."

Zhanbi sneered, "Yang Gou is our great enemy, if we can capture him alive, there is no need to kill him, just castrate him."

"Good idea, this can not only deal with the emperor's uncle, but also make Yang Gou an eunuch, hahahaha!"

The crowd burst into laughter.

"It's almost there." Zhanbi said, "Prepare for an ambush."

More than two thousand riders retreated.

"Send someone to the left wing to tell Shin-Etsu that this battle must be quick."

After the messenger left, a dark shadow appeared in the distance.

"Yang dog is here!"

Zhanbi said calmly: "Silence."

The crowd fell silent.

"There is a river!"

The scout turned around.

"How deep?"

"Right up to the waist."

Yang Xuan narrowed his eyes and looked opposite.

The old thief took out a small notebook and charcoal pencils.

King Wei is also waiting for his decision.

Li Han muttered, "How should we use troops in such a situation?"

Yang Xuan instructed: "Those who are good at water cross the river first with a rope, nail the rope on the opposite side, and then cross the river with the rope, be careful of the horse."

Dozens of people started crossing the river with ropes.

Yang Xuan looked left and right.

"Butcher!"

He looked calm, but faintly awe-inspiring.

Tu Chang said: "The old man is here, I command you!"

"Your Majesty!"

"This king is here!" King Wei held the handle of the giant knife with killing intent.

"Cross the river with 500 people in advance, and the two of you will lead the formation. If the enemy strikes halfway across the river, more than [-] people will be withdrawn. Within [-]..."

Yang Xuan looked at Tu Chang, "Mr. Tu."

"The old man knows, there will be no delay."

"Your Majesty!"

"This king will not back down!"

Yang Xuan nodded, "Cross the river!"

Tu Chang and King Wei started to cross the river with 500 people. For a while, people shouted and neighed, and it was very lively.

Yang Xuan was looking at the other side.

The old thief said: "Mr. Lang is worried about attacking halfway?"

"The Jibo Department and the Tiger Control Department haven't appeared yet." Yang Xuan said, "If they don't show up after passing here, then they are contemptuous of He Lianchun, they don't dare!"

In this way, if it is not done well here, there will be danger.

Five hundred riders had just crossed over when suddenly there was a loud sound of horseshoes on the opposite side.

"Kill!"

Yang Xuan sneered, "Sure enough, you are waiting here, how many people?"

An old soldier squinted his eyes and said, "My envoy, it's less than three thousand!"

"Huh!" Yang Xuan wondered, "Why are there only so many people? Look around!"

The old pawn looked around, "No one!"

This is not right!

Yang Xuan looked at the murderous enemy army, and said depressedly: "When did the three thousand cavalry of the three major divisions dare to attack me? This... makes no sense!"

"Kill!"

Zhanbi galloped all the way with his subordinates!
When they were about to bump into the five hundred riders brought by King Wei and Tu Chang, someone shouted, "Where are people?"

Zhanbi looked to the left.

Yes!

"Where's Shin-Etsu?"
