After searching the mountains and fields, Fang Genghou was nowhere to be found. Finally, on the downhill road on the other side of the cemetery, someone discovered blood stains on the ground. Following the blood stains, they found Fang Genghou's shoe on the edge of the cliff.
Ma Wenze rushed over immediately. There were ancient forests below. Although the vegetation had withered long ago, they were still towering. The branches were intertwined in the shadows, and nothing could be found.
"General, are you going down to look for me?" someone asked.
The wind was strong on the high cliff, and the moonlight could not shine through. When the wind blew, the shadows were like ghosts weeping, and Ma Wenze frowned.
After a pause, Ma Wenze said in a deep voice: "Even if he is alive, he is only half alive. We have nothing to cure General Fang alive."
When others heard this, they suddenly understood.
One person said: "And there is a high probability that General Fang will not survive. The blood over there has been drying for a long time. If he falls off this cliff again, he will not survive."
"There are also wild beasts. They come smelling blood. Maybe General Fang has..."
"right."
"I'm still looking for nothing!"
Others say something to you and me.
"Let's go." Ma Wenze said.
But just as he turned around, Ma Wenze thought of something and ordered others: "Throw the bodies of the people above from here."
"yes!"
"Hurry up!" Ma Wenze shouted with a frown.
He did not leave immediately, but stood on the lower slope and watched the stiffened corpses being carried down one by one, maintaining their pre-death form, like puppets.
After a henchman threw away a body, he came back and asked Ma Wenze where he was going next.
Ma Wenze frowned, not knowing.
He came out earlier than Fang Genghou, but after a few days, he couldn't find anything useful.
In the early years, Tiantian thought that it was Jiao Jinhu who would deal with Peifeng, but this time it was not Jiao Jinhu who came to attack the city. These troops came from the south and were divided into three parts. The nearest army was only two miles away from Peifeng.
Ma Wenze and his subordinates did not dare to get too close to them. After so many days, they could not even estimate how many troops the opponent had.
The only discovery was the several siege battles launched by the opponent when they first arrived. During the battle, it was obvious that they were very different from Jiao Jinhu's Naozhou troops.
The opponent was definitely a regular army, very similar to the defenders in the city when they attacked Peifeng a few years ago, which made Lin Yao sleepless and uneasy.
Excluding Jiao Jinhu's peasant uprising soldiers, those who had these regular troops were either Song Zhiyi, Yun Bozhong, and maybe Tian Dayao.
Although Tian Dayao also led the peasants to start a business in the past, Tian Dayao has gained so much momentum in recent years that he may have trained such an orthodox soldier and horse for him.
After throwing the corpses down, Ma Wenze left with his men.
On the way down the mountain, I suddenly saw a big fire in the distance.
"Oops!" one person shouted, "the enemy is attacking at night!"
Ma Wenze was also shocked and hurriedly said: "Go back to the city quickly!"
However, in this place, even the skin of the city wall could not be seen in the daytime. They had no horses and could only rely on their feet to run back quickly.
The soldiers and horses who gathered quickly formed a regular chessboard outside the company camp, with their spears stationed in their hands. The men shouted in unison like tigers roaring.
Mu Tingyu opened the curtain door of the big tent and saw Qian Yuandeng covering his head with a soft pillow, and two beauties were massaging his legs.
"Brother Qian." Mu Tingyu sat down next to the camp bed and reached for the soft pillow.
"Oh, give it to me!" Qian Yuandeng shouted.
"Li Xiao led the troops out again." Mu Tingyu said.
"I'm not deaf!" Qian Yuandeng turned over on the bed angrily, "It's so noisy to me!"
"He's just messing around," Mu Tingyu frowned, "I'm also angry. He's the same as before tonight. He doesn't really want to fight Peifeng, he just wants to train these soldiers!"
Qian Yuandeng paused for a moment and raised his head: "How do I practice this? Practice climbing the city wall?"
"Otherwise?" Mu Tingyu looked at him, "This is Peifeng. Peifeng is easy to defend and difficult to attack. Where can you find such a good wall to train your soldiers and horses? And Lin Yao is a useless idiot.
, how many of his people can he kill if he deals with soldiers like Li Xiao?"
"That's it."
"Moreover," Mu Tingyu lowered his voice, "Brother Qian, why did he come out when we called him out this time? It's not that the imperial court gave him military rations. He is now using our imperial court's money to raise his own soldiers! This military power
, he still has no intention of giving it to us!"
This is what makes Qian Yuandeng most angry.
In addition, sleeping on the camp bed these days has really caused pain in my neck and back.
I said earlier that I only need to wander around Liujing Mansion and Shoushi's old clothes, and then walk around Mouye to attract attention and firepower, so that Li's cavalry can quietly walk around Song Zhiyi's place to rob him. Just like Geng.
In the year of Yin, they also attacked from the east and west. Eight thousand cavalry captured Song Zhiyi's 30,000 troops, plundered a large amount of grain and grass, and returned in triumph.
The idea that time also came from Mu Tingyu.
Mu Tingyu was a very righteous man. This was his plan alone, but he did not enjoy it all to himself. Instead, he brought the money and lanterns with him. Emperor Xuanyan was so happy that he rewarded the two of them greatly.
That was the first time in his life that Qian Yuandeng had made such a big splash at home. As the most inconspicuous of Qian Xutian's sons, his high spirits in those few days were simply joyful.
Now, Qian Yuandeng followed Mu Tingyu out because he wanted to make another big achievement with the help of soldiers like Li Xiao.
But Li Xiao was really unruly, and he didn't look at them eye-to-eye, and even made a move.
"That's all," Mu Tingyu sighed softly, "If he wants to make a fuss, just make a fuss. It's not impossible to attack Peifeng. He can attract those eyes from both sides, and the movement will be louder than before."
"This is a matter of losing troops and generals. Didn't you say that if we can still seize his military power this time, it will be two great achievements when we go back, the fire will cook the oil, and the flowers will bloom. And..." Qian Yuandeng's voice changed.
Low, said angrily, "Besides, who wants to suffer this? Is fighting a child's play? Listen to the noise outside, is it noisy? I still want to sleep!"
"No, there's nothing we can do about it. He is gloomy and doesn't like to talk. Could it be that you don't remember that he directly attacked you in the Taoshan Tonaluo Temple?"
Qian Yuandeng recalled the scene of being angrily pushed by Li Xiao all the time in the past few days.
Humiliation, humiliation, anger, he told himself not to think about it, and now he was awakened by Mu Tingyu.
Qian Yuandeng clenched his fists, paused, and said solemnly: "Brother Mu, you usually have the most clever ideas, should we take action against Li Xiao now? You don't have the slightest idea about military power?
"
"Yes." Mu Tingyu said.
"Then, tell me!" Qian Yuandeng looked at him, "As long as we take away his military power, I can see how rampant he will be!"
"Well," Mu Tingyu smiled, "Li Xiao's arrogance is not a matter of military power. He was so crazy when he didn't have military power. If his military power was taken away, look how angry he would be.
I'm afraid he will be even crazier by then. And with this military power, and others are in this army, even if he really says that he will give us these soldiers and horses, military power, and food and grass, but do you think these soldiers will come over obediently?
"
"Then, what should we do?"
"Brother Qian, I tell you seriously, rather than us taking away his military power, it is better for him to hand it over on his own..."
“How to surrender yourself?”
Mu Tingyu's smile became meaningful: "I will tell you when the time comes."
After saying that, he looked at the two beauties inside the camp bed and raised his beautiful eyebrows slightly.
The two beauties did not dare to speak. They lowered their heads and their faces turned pale in an instant.
They are all human beings, they know what words they should listen to and what words they should not listen to.
But now, they have heard everything they shouldn't have heard.
Qian Yuandeng also looked towards them.
"Mr. Gongzi," a beautiful girl said in a trembling voice, "We are the young master's people, and we are all facing the young master."
"Yep……"
"Don't be nervous," Mu Tingyu said softly, "Brother Qian and I didn't say anything."
"Thank you, Master, thank you, Master." Mei Ji was too scared after all, and her tears rolled down.
Mu Tingyu raised his hand to wipe away the tears of this beautiful girl: "Don't be like this, I already said it, don't be nervous."
As he spoke, he pinched Mei Ji's chin and lifted her pretty face.
"Look at your face, how beautiful it is, with all the shades of flowers and moonlight." Mu Tingyu smiled softly, bowed his head and kissed Mei Ji on the lips.
Mei Ji closed her eyes, and the other person's cold lips only made her more afraid.
