Although Zhao Erhu and others were in the army, they were still loyal to Dong Cheng.
Under Dong Cheng's call, he finally found various reasons, then left the army, returned to Dong Cheng's command, and served Dong Cheng.
When Zhao Erhu led his men and prepared to leave, Li Xiaogong turned to look at Li Yuanba and said: "Yuanba, I'm not worried if they just go. You should also follow me. With you in charge, I won't have to go on a business trip."
.”
When he heard that there was a battle, Li Yuanba suddenly became excited.
Li Yuanba raised the drum, urn, and golden hammer, waved it twice in the air, and said: "Brother, don't worry, look at me. No matter what kind of soldier he is, no matter how many people he has, he is just a group of Tujia digging trenches, and there is nothing to be afraid of."
After saying that, Li Yuanba followed.
Half an hour later, Li Xiaogong and his party arrived outside the town and met Li Yuanba. By this time, the battle was over. There were pools of blood on the ground, and there were fifty or sixty bodies on the ground.
Bodies were lying around, and the rest of the people had fled.
Li Yuanba leaned against a big tree, closing his eyes to rest.
The previous fight was really boring.
He rushed back and forth with the drum, urn and golden hammer, and the formation on the opposite side completely collapsed.
Li Xiaogong glanced around and asked in a deep voice: "Yuanba, where are the others?"
Li Yuanba clapped his hands, stood up, swung the drum, urn, and golden hammer, and said: "They went to the small town, and I'm afraid they are going to rob them. Anyway, they are not my people, so I didn't take care of them."
After listening, Li Xiaogong frowned.
A soldier is a soldier.
Soldiers, orders and prohibitions.
Soldiers have the responsibility to defend the country.
If a soldier commits wanton murder and loots everywhere, he is not worthy of being a soldier.
Li Xiaogong looked at Dong Cheng, his face became cold, and he said in a deep voice: "General Dong, please order immediately to transfer everyone back. We must set off immediately and leave Shu as soon as possible. Otherwise, once we are overtaken, we will not be able to escape.
One death."
"Here!"
Dong Cheng nodded in agreement and immediately ordered people to recall Zhao Erhu and others.
On the battlefield, in many cases, once soldiers lose control, they may turn into bandits, which are even more terrifying than bandits. Because such people are well-equipped and have strong fighting power. If they cause trouble, the consequences will be disastrous.
Soon after, Zhao Erhu and others returned.
These people were all robbing the town, one by one.
Li Xiaogong was unhappy when he saw this.
He knew very well that he needed Dong Cheng's people. Without the help of these people, it would be difficult to escape from Shu. But just after leaving Chang'an and walking for less than half a day, it turned out like this, which made Li Xiaogong feel unhappy.
Li Xiaogong was not an indecisive person. He had an idea in his mind and immediately started to implement it. He did not ask about the money that Zhao Erhu and others had just snatched, but he reiterated military discipline.
Li Xiaogong said: "Since you are listening to my orders, you must abide by my orders. I will make it clear that anyone who disobeys military orders will be beheaded! Anyone who robs the people again will be beheaded! Did you hear that?"
Dong Cheng was furious when he saw that Li Xiaogong was angry and quickly signaled to Zhao Erhu with his eyes.
When Zhao Erhu saw this, he immediately agreed.
The rest of the people agreed one after another.
Li Xiaogong gave the order to set off without saying another word, and the team continued to move forward.
When Li Xiaogong was on his way quickly, there was a group of cavalry resting on the official road twenty places behind.
The leader is clearly Wang Can.
Wang Can was surrounded by young generals such as Zhao Guang, Mu Guiying, Zhang Hu and others.
When Wang Can returned to the palace from the academy, Jia Yun also found the place where Li Xiaogong and others had been hiding. However, Master Jia Yundi had already gone to the building, leaving only a few unimportant people.
Since Wang Can showed up, he went back to the palace.
After he met with Cai Yan, Wang Zhen and others, he immediately mobilized a group of cavalry and began to chase Li Xiaogong and his party who had escaped.
Previously, he had sent spies to investigate.
Just follow the location marked by the spies and it's enough to catch up with Li Xiaogong.
Wang Can looked solemn and said in a deep voice: "According to the information reported by the spies, Li Xiaogong met the town soldiers an hour ago and had a fight. At that time, Li Xiaogong's people also robbed the people of the town. According to them
With the speed we are traveling, it will be possible to escape from Chang'an in one day at most and head south into the Ziwu Valley."
Zhao Guang looked solemn and said: "Your Majesty, the sentry letter said that although Li Xiaogong went south, he took a large number of horses with him. If these are cavalry, they will naturally be fast. However, these are all foals and mares.
Without anyone to control it, we can only rely on horsemen to drive us, and the speed will definitely not be fast. If we lighten the load, we will definitely be able to reach the Ziwu Valley first."
Zhao Guang is extremely experienced in long-distance raids.
After hearing this, Wang Can shook his head and said: "Even if we arrive at Ziwu Valley before them, so what? Are we going to have a fight with them? It is not difficult to defeat the soldiers around Li Xiaogong. The key is that Li Xiaogong is
Cunning, when we were going down the mountain from the academy, we caught Zhen Ji again, and we were very constrained."
The person involved is Zhen Ji after all.
Wang Can wants to defeat Li Xiaogong and rescue Zhen Ji, which must be done at the same time.
You can't just think about defeating Lee Hyo Gong.
Zhang Hu thought for a while and suggested: "Your Majesty, there will be a plan in the end."
Wang Can asked: "What's the plan?"
Zhang Hu said: "We adopt a night attack strategy. Just imagine, it will not be easy for Li Xiaogong and his party to march south with countless war horses. At night, they will definitely rest. We are all cavalry and are fast, so we can catch up with them."
When they rest at night, they will take the opportunity to defeat Li Xiaogong. Only in the chaos of the battle will they have a chance to rescue Zhen Ji."
Among the three people from Zhao Guang, Zhang Hu and Wang Can have the least contact, but Zhang Hu's qualifications are not weak.
Zhang Hu climbed up from the bottom of the army. Although Zhang Hu's father, Zhang Liao, was a veteran in the army, Zhang Hu did not rely on his father's protection, but relied on real swords and real guns.
Zhang Hu's ability is also quite extraordinary.
Under Zhang Liao's guidance, he mastered Zhang Liao's combat methods and was good at long-distance raids with elite troops, breaking through the enemy's defenses, causing chaos in the enemy's formation, and then creating opportunities for victory.
Wang Can thought about it and said: "It's okay to attack the camp, but it's not a solution. At the moment, this is the only way. Now we are only a day's journey from Ziwu Valley. I don't think they will
I will take too much rest. However, for now, I can only chase and see if there is a chance."
Zhang Hu said: "Your Majesty is wise!"
Wang Can continued: "Zhao Guang, you mobilize one hundred and eighty elite cavalry, enter the Ziwu Valley first and hide. Remember, Li Xiaogong does not make an unprepared retreat, he may arrange someone to take over in the Ziwu Valley, you
be careful."
"You will eventually understand!"
Zhao Guang responded with clasped fists.
Zhao Guang left first with the cavalry, while Wang Can, Zhang Hu, Mu Guiying and others accelerated on the road again, hanging tightly behind Li Xiaogong, constantly closing the distance between the two sides.
The speed of Wang Can and his group was much faster.
By night, Wang Can and his party had really caught up with Li Xiaogong and his party.
Wang Can took Mu Guiying and others and acted overnight.
However, Zhen Ji was not found.
For this reason, Wang Can, Mu Guiying and others could only take action against Li Xiaogong's soldiers, intending to make Li Xiaogong no longer able to control this team by taking action against Li Xiaogong's soldiers. (To be continued)
