Chapter 420
Gao Bufan, Yuchi Jingde and their entourage galloped on horseback. Along the way, they ate and drank hungry and stayed overnight. Everywhere they went, what they heard the most was that another strongman appeared somewhere and someone raised a flag to rebel against the Sui Dynasty. , it seemed that the entire Great Sui Dynasty was full of wars and thieves were everywhere. Even Yuchi Jingde and others were secretly frightened. It was obvious that the desolate Great Sui Dynasty was no longer what they had known before.
Gao Bufan already knew this. Although Yang Xuangan's mutiny was extinguished, its impact was far-reaching. It was different from the previous uprisings of the grass-head kings. It marked the break of the ruling class of the Sui Dynasty. It is evident just by looking at how many noble families responded to Yang Xuangan.
The saying "water can carry a boat can also capsize it" is certainly true, but the saying "whoever wins the gentry conquers the world" is also true. The power of the gentry is too powerful to be ignored. Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty Yang Jian himself relied on Guan Long The gentry supported the founders, and Yang Xuangan himself was a representative of the Guanlong gentry. Even he raised troops to rebel against the Sui Dynasty, which meant that the foundation of the Sui Dynasty was shaken.
Yang Guang himself was obviously aware of this, which is why he was so sensitive to the phrase "Li should be the emperor", and at the same time he did not dare to attack all the nobles with the surname Li, because the Li family was also one of the surnames of the Guanlong gentry. .
Closer to home, although thieves and bandits are entrenched along the way, few people dare to provoke Gao Bufan's cavalry. After all, although there are many people in the rabble, they are just a rabble after all. There are not many people who dare to take the initiative to provoke a cavalry, well, except Xu Shiji.
On the tenth day of the winter, Gao Bufan and his party passed through Funiu Mountain between Liyang County and Huaxian County, which was the place where Xu Shiji, Zhai Rang and others staged an ambush last time.
Since they were ambushed last time, Yuchi Jingde and others were still in danger and did not dare to pass Niujiaoao rashly. Instead, they sent scouts to check carefully to make sure there was no ambush before preparing to pass.
"Wait a minute!" Gao Bufan suddenly said loudly.
Yuchi Jingde immediately ordered his men to stop advancing and asked vigilantly: "Has General Gao Lang discovered something?"
Gao Bufan smiled slightly and said, "Bring me the sun-chasing bow."
A soldier immediately rode forward and took the four-stone bow that King Yang Tong of Yue had given to Gao Bufan. Gao Bufan took the bow in his hand, visually checked the distance, nocked an arrow and drew the bow easily. A full moon.
Yuchi Jingde secretly smacked his tongue. He was also a person born with supernatural power. He could also shoot Gao Bufan's four-stone bow, but he would never be able to describe it as lightly as Gao Bufan.
Bang buzz...
As soon as Gao Bufan loosened his bow string, there was an immediate explosion, and everyone felt their eardrums were shaken. The sharp arrow screamed through the air, heading straight for the tall and dense tree on the top of Funiu Mountain.
Funiu Mountain is not high, probably only thirty or forty meters, but from Gao Bufan's position to the big tree on the top of the mountain, it is at least three to four hundred meters, which is quite an exaggerated distance. Four stone bows shot out The powerful arrow hit the big tree as fast as lightning, and then there was a shrill scream, and then a branch with leaves on the top of the tree slowly fell down.
Yuchi Jingde's face changed slightly when he saw this, and he blurted out: "There is an ambush on the mountain."
Gao Bufan nodded and said: "The thief on the tree is responsible for looking out, and the branches are their communication tool. If what is expected is true, the thief's large army is either hiding in a secret place on the mountain, or hiding in the mountain." Finally, otherwise our scouts would not have been able to detect us. It is estimated that when we enter the area of Niujiaoao, the thief on the lookout will bring down the branches and notify his accomplices to launch an attack."
Yuchi Jingde was both impressed and a little curious, and asked: "How did Gao Lang find the thief in the tree at such a long distance?"
"Just these eyes!" Gao Bufan said mysteriously, pointing to his eyes that were as clear as stream water and as bright as stars.
When the soldiers heard this, they were even more impressed. In fact, it was not that mysterious. Although Gao Bufan's eyesight was far superior to ordinary people, he was not so perverted that he could detect the enemy hidden three or four hundred meters away. It was purely the thief.
Unfortunately, the dagger in his mouth reflected light and was caught by Gao Bufan's keen eyes.
At this time, Gao Bufan had already galloped forward and shouted: "Who is your friend on the mountain? You might as well show up and see him."
Gao Bufan drank three times in a row, only to hear the mountain wind howling, and the surrounding fields were silent. No one paid attention to him. The soldiers couldn't help but look at each other. Could it be that the boss had made a mistake? The unlucky guy on the tree was actually a woodcutter, chopping wood on the tree.
, but was shot dead by the boss who thought he was a thief?
Gao Bufan frowned and said calmly: "Light the torch."
Although everyone didn't know why, they still lit a dozen torches for lighting at night. Gao Bufan took one and shouted: "Since my friend is unwilling to show up, I will have no choice but to set fire to the mountain."
It was winter at this time, everything was dry and yellow, and the vegetation on the mountain was thick. Once it was ignited, it would definitely be a situation where the camp was set on fire. Sure enough, as soon as Gao Bufan said he would set fire to the mountain, the thieves on the mountain could not hide immediately. There was a sound of drums, and they were hiding in the mountain.
The thieves in the bunker on the mountainside immediately got in, but they saw silhouettes of people and flags waving. It was estimated that there were thousands of ambushes.
Yuchi Jingde couldn't help but secretly say it was a fluke, and all the soldiers were even more shocked and broke into a cold sweat, and they admired the boss's clear insight even more.
"What the hell, it's the thieves from Wagang Village again." Yuchi Jingde spat fiercely, and all the soldiers were filled with righteous indignation. It was their enemies who were extremely jealous when they met.
A flash of surprise flashed in Gao Bufan's eyes, because the big flag on the mountain clearly had the word "Wagang" written on it, and there was a military flag with the word "Zhai" next to it. He didn't know whether it was Zhai Rang or his silly big brother Zhai Hong who came.
"It turns out to be the head of Wagang Zhai, do you dare to show up to see him?" Gao Bufan shouted loudly.
As soon as he finished speaking, a man with a steel knife in his hand appeared under the banner of "Zhai" and said proudly: "This is your Uncle Zhai Hong!"
Gao Bufan laughed and said, "It turns out to be Uncle Hong. Did you bring five thousand taels of redemption money?"
Zhai Hong was stunned for a moment, then he recognized Gao Bufan, and immediately yelled: "Ah, bah, it turns out it's you, a bitch, no wonder he looks familiar, brothers, come with me and rush down and kill this bitch."
However, no one listened to him, and all looked at military advisor Xu Shiji. The enemy had not entered the ambush circle, and they were all cavalry. To rush down at this time was no different than to die.
Zhai Hong couldn't help but blush, and said angrily: "What are you doing standing there in a daze? Let's fight against Mr. Hong."
Gao Bufan laughed loudly and said: "Uncle Hong, your words don't seem to work very well. It's better to ask Xu Shiji to come out. I'm sure he will be more effective than you even if he farts."
Zhai Hong was shocked and angry. He gave Xu Shiji a hard look and shouted loudly: "Young officer, fuck your mother!"
collapse……
Before Zhai Hong finished speaking, the four-stone bow in Gao Bufan's hand had already been fired. The former almost lost a few hairs on his buttocks and hurriedly threw himself to the ground. Just now, Gao Bufan shot the thief on the tree on the top of the mountain with an arrow.
The power of the arrow had already shocked the enemy's courage, so when Zhai Hong saw Gao Bufan pulling his bow, he was as frightened as a frightened bird. Little did he know that Gao Bufan only pulled the empty string.
When the soldiers saw this, they couldn't help laughing. Only then did Zhai Hong realize that he had been fooled. He got up from the ground, his face as red as pig liver. Damn it, this dog officer surnamed Gao is so disgusting. He caused me to lose a lot of money.
ugly.
"Uncle Hong's trick of eating shit like a hungry dog is good, but he's too cowardly. Go away. Xu Shiji is the only one in Wagang that I can take notice of. The others are just people with empty reputations." Gao Bufan shouted loudly.
road.
Xu Shiji finally couldn't stand listening anymore. The last time he was treated like that by Gao Bufan, it had caused a rift between himself and Master Zhai. If he allowed this kid to continue talking nonsense, he was afraid that he would never be able to gain a foothold on Wagang again, so he stood
He stood up and sneered: "It turns out that General Gao Lang is not only very skilled, but he also kills people without blood. I, Xu Shiji, have no grudges against you, so why would you harm me like this?"
When Gao Bufan saw that the real master was finally forced out, he laughed and said: "Brother Xu, what do you mean by this? What I said is all the truth. The whole Wagang is a mob, and you, Xu Shiji, are still a talented person."
, if you are willing to abandon the secret and turn to the light, I will definitely use you again, which is much better than you being with a group of idiots on the mountain."
Zhai Rang's lungs were about to explode with anger, and he shouted loudly: "How dare the dog official insult us, brothers, follow Master Hong and I will kill him, and let this dog official see what he sees... Damn it!"
collapse……
Before Zhai Hong could finish his words, there was another string sound, which frightened him and threw him to the ground again. The result was that the string was empty again. Now even the bandits felt that their faces were shameless and they looked at Zhai Hong with dissatisfaction.
.
Zhai Hong couldn't help but became angry and shouted at Xu Shiji: "Xu Shiji, if you haven't ordered to go down and kill that dog officer, do you really want to betray the boss and take refuge with that dog officer?"
Xu Shiji frowned and said, "The opponent didn't fall into the trap, and they are all cavalry. Even if we kill them now, we still can't defeat them, so why should we humiliate ourselves?"
Zhai Hong also knew this was true, but when he became so angry, he lost his mind a little and yelled filial piety: "Fart, there are so many of us, we can drown them all with our spit. I think you are colluding with that dog official, right?"
, the dog officer clearly caught you last time, how could he let you escape with the dog officer's martial arts? You must have secretly taken refuge with the dog officer and stayed in the village, just to betray the village and claim credit from the dog officer."
When Xu Shiji heard Zhai Hong's nonsense, he couldn't help but became a little angry, and said coldly: "That's nonsense. If I, Xu Shiji, were a spy, you, Zhai Hong, would have been dead a long time ago. Don't forget, I used my body as a hostage to save you."
, you are ungrateful, but you still doubt me?"
Zhai Hong was at a loss for words. After a long time, he snorted coldly and said hesitantly: "You... you are just hypocritical. You must have hooked up with that dog official a long time ago, so you deliberately saved me and won everyone's trust. Yes, that's right.
so!"
Zhai Hong finally came up with a reason and became confident!
