It soon became dark and the rain became heavier. Wu Bikui held a simple banquet in the village to entertain this unknown Wan family. In fact, after eating the dinner, both he and Zhou Ding were sure that the person in front of them was the person in front of them.
The real Wan family, because she showed her eagerness for alliance, but kept talking about the core of "together for a great cause" in three sentences, talking about it, taking the trouble to talk about it, from the outline, to the details, to the present, to the future.
…
But Wu Bikui and Zhou Ding behaved very rationally: You agree with everything you say now, but do not express your position. Everything will wait until your identity is confirmed. During these three days, your troops and horses cannot move around and cannot enter the country, otherwise they will
Falling out. As long as your identity is confirmed in three days, I will cooperate with you with full sincerity.
Wan agreed with this.
After chatting until late at night, Wan Bikui and others left. Wan had a courtyard to herself and was guarded by her own soldiers. Although she drank some wine during the dinner, Wan still didn't feel sleepy at all. She sat alone in front of the window, fiddling with the oil lamp and listening to the outside world.
The sound of rain was pouring, and then she reflected on what she had done today, and felt that it was a bit risky and a bit too hasty, but the current situation was very unfavorable to her, and she urgently needed to persuade Wu Bikui to join forces with him, so she had to take some risks.
As long as we join forces with Wu Bikui, the situation will gradually improve and everything is possible.
Thinking of this, Wan's mouth finally showed a smile.
And if she knew what happened in Ami Province, she might not be able to laugh anymore.
The reason why Wan took the risk to come to meet Wu Bikui was that she urgently needed an alliance and showed sincerity, and she had confidence in Wang Shuo. Among the four tiger generals under Sha Dingzhou, he was not the most courageous, but he was
He is the most clever one, otherwise the other three would have died under the Kunming City, and he would have escaped with his life.
Coupled with the dangerous terrain of Ami Province, even if the troops are insufficient, as long as you are smart, you can be safe!
Wang Shuo was indeed very clever. After the Wan family secretly left Ammi Prefecture, he mobilized his elite troops into the city and set up camps at strategic locations on the northern border to prevent Prince Mu from taking advantage of the situation.
These days no one’s word can be trusted and everyone will be cautious.
It’s just that some people and things are impossible to guard against.
Wang Shuo was not only smart but also conscientious. During the past few days when Wanshi left, he had been busy with military affairs every day, no matter how slack he was. During the day, he would personally go out of the city to inspect various checkpoints for fear of any mistakes. Fortunately, Wanshi had been away for five days, and there was no such thing as this place.
Nothing happened, and nothing unusual was seen around them. It seemed that Prince Mu's Mansion was indeed cooperating sincerely. Perhaps it was because he was wary and didn't want to cause more trouble, but he was a little too worried.
This made Wang Shuo secretly breathe a sigh of relief. Now that he was the only one in Ami Province, it was impossible for him to not be afraid. Now that he had been fine for the past few days, he couldn't help but feel a little lucky. In the evening, he had some fun and found a girl to have some fun and drink with.
After drinking some wine, I counted on my fingers that the Wan family should have arrived at Yuanmou. At this time, it would be "inextricable" to kill Wu Bikui!
Under the blessing of wine and sex, Wang Shuo slept extremely sweetly and even had a sweet dream. He was suddenly shaken awake at some point, and his men looked frightened: "General, the enemy is attacking."
Wang Shuo rolled down from the bed in shock and suddenly lost his drunkenness: "Enemy attack? Where did the enemy come from?" He listened carefully but heard no sound.
"News just came from the Nanwang Village. Thousands of enemy troops entered the country and swept across seven of our villages in one day. At this time, they were less than fifty miles away from Ami City!" Wang Shuo was so shocked by his men's words that he didn't react for a while. Nanwang Village
It is a defensive village for both military and civilian use in the southernmost part of Ami Prefecture, more than a hundred miles away... The enemy did not attack from the true north, but sneaked in from the south unexpectedly, and attacked seven villages in a row for dozens of miles a day!
"Who are these so-called enemy troops? Thousands are thousands?" Wang Shuo roared at his subordinates after regaining consciousness.
"It looks like Lu Yongming's troops are about two to three thousand people?" his subordinates said tremblingly.
It seemed? Probably? Wang Shuo kicked him away in anger, and then rushed out of the room, only to find that it was not yet dawn.
Lu Yongming, this thief, really took advantage of people's danger. Wang Shuo cursed and hated him in his heart, but he didn't know whether this guy was seeking personal revenge or following Mu Tianbo's order, but he was obviously prepared! But not at this time.
When you curse someone, you should be ready to fight.
Wang Shuo quickly figured it out in his mind. The mountains around Ami Prefecture are steep and difficult to defend, but the territory is relatively flat. Lu Yongming bypassed the dangerous pass and rushed in, which was like entering uninhabited territory. Moreover, he was making a surprise attack.
It would be impossible to stop him just by relying on the surrounding villages. He would soon reach the foot of Amizhou City, so the immediate task was to quickly defend the city, and then summon the surrounding villages to come immediately for reinforcements. After all, Amizhou City was not that big or much.
Gao, if the opponent's army is strong, I might not be able to defend it with the few men I have!
Damn it!
At this time, Wang Shuo hated Lu Yongming and actually launched a sneak attack. But now that you are here, it will be difficult to leave. When I mobilize the troops and horses to close the gate and trap you in Ammi Prefecture, I will eat you bit by bit. See
How long can you last?
At daybreak, Wang Shuo issued several orders to mobilize the young men from the villages within twenty miles of Amizhou City to set up the first line of defense. At the same time, he sent people to various places to report the news and come quickly for reinforcements, such as Mongolia.
Since he could recruit 2,000 to 3,000 people within two or three days, he believed that Lu Yongming would never be able to capture Amizhou City within three days. This was enough to put him in a quagmire!
Swallow's Nest, fifty miles south of Amizhou City, is still a mountainous area, but it is not the kind of place with steep cliffs and no room for footing. To be precise, it is a hilly area. A village just here was taken down by Li Dazhi.
Ji Jike and Lu Yongming, who were ten miles away in Ma Tou Po, also went to another village. In the past few days, they crossed the mountains and ridges and took small paths to enter the country from the due south. They perfectly missed the defensive line set up by Wan in the due north.
After entering the country, the troops divided into two groups and headed towards the city of Amizhou in the north. Although there were many villages on the way, they could not defeat their thousands of troops. They swept all the way and approached the city of Amizhou fifty miles away in one day. At this time, the two
The soldiers and horses on the road slowed down to rest and reorganize their troops.
"If we move faster, or if the Wan family does not send troops to resist, we can arrive at the city at this time tomorrow at the latest. Who of the two of you has been to Amizhou?" Ji Jike asked Lu Yongming and Li Dazhi while chewing a goat leg in the village.
"I've been here before. The city is only three to five miles high, less than two feet tall, and far less thick than the walls of Mengzi City. Sha Dingzhou has been operating in Mengzi, and Amizhou City has been in disrepair in recent years..." Lu Yongming
He simply said: "How confident is General Ji?"
The two of them had already experienced and witnessed Ji Jike's bravery at this time, and they admired him and followed his lead. More importantly, Ji Jike was not an empty bottle, he had something in his belly. He was in Chang Yu
His subordinate is famous for his spearmanship and martial arts skills, but his military exploits and military talents are overshadowed.
In fact, his military ability is not ordinary. He seeks stability and ruthlessness.
"I am not talented. I once accompanied Lord Du Gong on his expeditions in the north and south. Although most of them were field battles, I also attacked a few cities. Even if there is no baggage, this small town can only be disembarked in three days." Ji Jike's words sounded very modest at first glance.
But it's not low-key at all.
Li Dazhi and Lu Yong were overjoyed: "This time it depends on the general."
After a night's rest, at noon the next day, Minister Ji Jike drove straight in until he was twenty miles outside Amizhou City. The terrain here was relatively flat and suitable for horse fighting. This also made the blood of the five hundred Black Eagle soldiers under his command boil and scream.
However, Wang Shuo also built a line of defense here, with more than a thousand people stationed in the village and ravine as a barrier. He wanted to stop Ji Jike's progress. A fight broke out in the afternoon. Half an hour later, the line of defense collapsed and the brave men fled.
Enter the city.
At this moment, Wang Shuo felt as though he was overwhelmed by a mountain, because he discovered something was wrong. These were definitely not Lu Yongming's troops. He did not have such strong fighting power, and the soldiers did not have such strong killing intent and fighting spirit. The scene before him seemed familiar!
Hold!
It was the troops that suddenly appeared outside Kunming that day!
What does this mean? It means that this sneak attack was not ordered by Lu Yongming for personal revenge, but by Mu Tianbo!
Something bad happened, I fell into a trap!
On the surface, this guy wants to talk about cooperation, but secretly he wants to kill people. Unfortunately, he and Wan Shi only saw that he wanted to kill someone with a borrowed knife, but they didn't realize that he had such a sinister back-up plan.
Why is Mu Tianbo so sinister? Why is he so sinister?
Of course it's because there is a shady boss behind Mu Tianbo.
