Four hundred and fourteenth chapter southward withdrawal (three)
After two sticks of incense were burned, Zhao Wuji and Zhang Ping, who had lost his left arm, came on horseback, surrounded by dozens of guards.
Li Pu also saw that Feng Yi, who should be with Han Qian at this time, was also rushing over with Zhao Wuji and Zhang Ping. He wondered if Han Qian had any special order to inform Zhang Ping and Zhao Wuji through him.
.
"Master Zhang, General Zhao!" Li Pu suppressed the doubts in his heart and angrily told Zhang Ping about the dispute. Zhao Wuji knew, "How will the Chishan Army handle this matter?"
Liu Zishu had regained consciousness at this time, but he had lost so much blood and was extremely weak. Whether he could survive this disaster or survive was completely unknown.
Zhao Wuji is wearing a green armor. He is thin, tall and handsome.
In the past few years, he has been following Han Qian and studied with him in his spare time. He has a graceful and elegant attitude that is rare among generals in the army. He has a sword tied around his waist and a horse's harness tied behind his back. A bow is hung on the left side of the saddle and a bow is hung on the right side of the saddle.
It was three barrels of feather arrows. The man was sitting on the back of a horse facing the furious Li Pu. Wei Zhen was also sitting calmly on the horse looking around and observing the situation at the scene.
Although Zhao Wuji is only nineteen years old this year, Li Pu also knows that his archery skills are unparalleled. In addition to the long bow, he also practices swordsmanship and spear skills. He is a representative figure among the soldiers around Han Qian; not to mention other
Sister Zhao Ting'er is the only young lady Han Qian married at this time.
Zhang Ping is gentle and gentle, while Feng Yi is tactful. The two of them rushed over and dismounted first, bowing and greeting the people around them. Especially since they all knew the identity of the old man in green robe, and also knew that Li Xiu, Li Qi and others were brave and brave.
Dare to be disrespectful.
Zhao Wuji sat quietly on the horse, like a sharp blade lying quietly in an ancient scabbard, not showing its edge, but not wanting to hide in the dust.
He has practiced and studied with Han Qian these years, and he doesn't think anyone in the world can surpass Han Qian. He also has no special feelings for Li Yu, who is famous and is even called the number one general in Chu.
After hearing what Li Pu had said about this, Zhao Wuji had no intention of distinguishing right from wrong here. He pointed at the troublemaker Han Donghu and gave orders to the people around him, saying in a deep voice: "Catch this guy, take him to Nantang Village, and hand him over to your lord for interrogation.
Deal with it!" He then raised his hand to Li Pugong and asked, "Can the Marquis send witnesses to go to Nantang Village to complain?"
Although Zhang Ping is the military supervisor, the Chishan Army has not summoned a group of people under Zhang Ping to form a formal military supervision organization. Therefore, the jurisdiction of generals and military discipline is not under Zhang Ping's control for the time being. He, the military supervisor, is mainly responsible for
Responsible for reporting the movements of Han Qian and the Chishan Army to Yueyang in a timely manner.
Zhao Wuji followed the standard procedure in the army and walked towards Han Donghu who was causing trouble. Han Donghu did not dare to resist. He honestly handed over his sword, bow and war horse, and let the person tie his hands firmly behind his back. At this time, Zhao Wuji again
Designate a guard next to you to lead the cavalry team under Han Donghu.
Although Zhao Wuji gave people the impression of being very arrogant and rude, Zhao Pu and Wei Zhen had nothing to say when they saw this situation. They immediately called for two children from aristocratic families who had witnessed the conflict beside Liu Zishu, and followed Han Donghu first.
Nantangzhai's story.
Next, Li Pu was about to find Zhang Ping and inquire about Han Qian's intentions in Nantang Village, which was sixty miles away, and Feng Yi's intention to rush here. At this time, the female family members and the old man stopped temporarily to rest in the camp where they heard that
There was a commotion, and a young woman wearing a light blue dress, a purple skirt, and a pair of embroidered shoes that were dirtied by hastily stepped on the muddy ground was seen. She pushed aside several women who blocked her, walked over, and shouted: "
The general of the Chishan Army, Shang Hu hurt someone, and the civilian woman wants to report it!"
As the commander of the army, Zhao Wuji had no intention of getting too entangled with Li Pu and Wei Zhen. He was thinking of escorting Han Donghu to leave first and leaving other contact matters to Zhang Ping and Feng Yi. Unexpectedly, a woman came from the camp.
, he glanced sharply at Li Pu and Wei Zhen, and regardless of their opinions, he ordered the people around him and said: "Bring the woman here."
Li Pu stared at the young woman displeased, not knowing her identity and not knowing what he wanted to say, but at this time he was not in a position to give the order to stop the woman.
"Isn't it embarrassing enough for this cheap maid to have an affair with a cheap slave?" Wei Zhen stood beside Li Pu, stamping her feet and muttering.
"The civilian girl's father was Wei Wei Yanzhang of Lishui County. Unfortunately, he died in battle when Lishui City fell. The civilian girl was released from Shangjiabao and joined her mother's family. Knowing this, she did not dare to complain at all. She just remembered that her father had loved and cared for her since she was a child.
He was buried hastily, fearing that if he didn't mark it, he wouldn't be able to find a tomb to pay homage to when he returned home. Two days ago, the girl met General Shang Hu on the way, so she privately asked him to find his father's tomb and set up a monument so that he could easily recognize Shang in the future.
General Hu just came over to tell him about the erection of the monument. He didn't want Liu Zishu to misunderstand him when he saw it. He shouted loudly and whipped General Shang Hu. General Shang Hu didn't fight back. The girl wanted to persuade Liu Zishu.
In a few sentences, Liu Zishu insulted the daughter of the people, and General Shang Hu reached out to stop him. He drew his sword to chop General Shang Hu, but General Shang Hu had no choice but to draw his sword and hurt him...Everything the daughter of the people said is true, please tell me clearly.
"
"Master Marquis, is there anything you have to hide about this matter?" Zhao Wuji looked at Li Pu coldly and asked.
Seeing Zhao Wuji's arrogant and cold expression, Li Pu was so angry that the veins in his forehead were twitching. However, he thought that Han Qian's bones were even harder, and he had to rely on Zhao Wuji's cavalry camp to cover the flanks of the people of Lishui County.
She tried to annoy him and said coldly: "Women may not take it seriously; besides, Liu Zishu has the responsibility to guard the camp, and it is also his duty to drive away the slaves."
"Whether we can take it seriously or not is my own judgment, and no one is allowed to hide it. In addition, Han Donghu was named by my family and is a general of our Chishan Army. If he violates military discipline, he will be severely punished. But if he does it in front of my family,
If you call the generals of my Chishan Army at every turn, even if you are as respectful as a marquis, my family will scold you." Zhao Wuji said coldly.
Next, Zhao Wuji ignored Li Pu's reaction, looked at the young woman, and asked: "Now I want you to go to Nantang Village to bear witness. Can you ride a horse?"
"Folk girls know how to ride a horse!" the woman said.
Zhao Wuji signaled to the left and right to give up a horse to the woman, and he led the people directly away from the muddy path, leaving other matters to Zhang Ping and Feng Yi.
Seeing Zhao Wuji leading people away, Li Pu felt that the Sun Hall was swollen. He didn't know how many rude bastards there were around Han Qian, so he pulled Zhang Ping and asked: "Han Qian is in Nantang at this time."
What does Zhai do?”
At present, the Chishan Army occupies four or five major strongholds at the western foot of Jieling Mountain and between Jieling Mountain and Fuyu Mountain, all of which were rebuilt on the basis of villages or towns abandoned by the Shijiang clan.
After the main force of the Chishan Army withdrew southward overnight, Nantang Village, located at the western foot of Jieling Mountain, is the northernmost main city currently controlled by the Chishan Army.
Previously, Han Qian had been staying in Guangde Village at the northern foot of Fuyu Mountain.
In the previous dynasty, there was Guangde County at the northern foot of Fuyu Mountain, which governed Guangde City. In the eighth year of Tianyou's reign, it was destroyed by the war against Dong Chang, the king of Yue. After that, Guangde County was abolished, and most of the land was merged into Langxi County, Xuanzhou.
A small part was merged into Anji County, Huzhou, leaving only one ruined city located at the northern foot of Fuyu Mountain.
"Master Han expected that the first wave of people from Lishui County would evacuate to Nantangzhai tomorrow, but he did not expect that the people of Lishui County would retreat south so slowly. He was worried that if the delay continued, the Chuzhou Army and the Nanya Forbidden Army would increase their harassment.
Call Feng Yi over to urge the Marquis - and give Zhao Wuji an order to lead the cavalry camp back to Nantang Village in three days." Zhang Ping said.
Hearing what Zhang Ping said, Li Pu felt ashamed and anxious, and said: "Han Qian will evacuate the cavalry camp in three days. How can so many old, weak, women and children have time to evacuate to Nantang Village?"
Facing Zhao Wuji's arrogance and rudeness, Li Pu was able to endure it. At this time, the Nanya Forbidden Army sent a large number of scouts to the north to harass them, mainly Zhao Wuji led the elite Chishan Army Cavalry Battalion to keep them at bay.
Just imagine, after three days they have not reached Nantang Village - at the current speed of turtle movement, three days is only enough for more than 20,000 people to cover the remaining half of the distance to Nantang Village - but Zhao Wuji has to first
He led the Chishan cavalry camp to withdraw.
Although the Nanya Forbidden Army and the main force of the Chuzhou Army were wary and it was unlikely that they would attack within three days, elite cavalry of thirty, fifty or more than a hundred people came up from the north like hungry wolves.
, their long team that dragged on for more than ten miles, didn’t they just become a little fat sheep that was left to be slaughtered?
Seeing Li Pu's appearance, Feng Yi smiled contemptuously in his heart. This kind of person looked down on Han Qian and the Chishan Army from the bottom of his heart. However, when he was poor and helpless, he still tried every means to hope for the rescue of Han Qian and the Chishan Army.
"Han Qian knew that the people of Lishui County were poor and slow, so he had sent people to set up four temporary rest and supply camps every fifteen miles along the route. He asked the people of Lishui County to strictly avoid any stops or delays on the road except when arriving at the temporary camps. And except for necessary
Grain, clothing, Han Qian hopes that the Marquis can make up his mind and force everyone to abandon all unnecessary cumbersome things! In addition, the Marquis is also asked to escort the guards and the female relatives of the families. The elderly and young children will go first, or maybe they can
Speed up - Han Qian also said that if the Marquis cannot make some determination, the Chishan Army can help the Marquis do some dirty and tiring work. All disobedience and confrontation along the way will be served with sticks first. Sticks will not work.
, then use swords and axes to attack..." Feng Yi cupped his hands and stepped forward and said.
Now it's Wei Zhen's turn to have her forehead twitch:
By escorting all the female relatives and young children first, the people of Lishui County can speed up. What does this mean?
Did Han Qian mean that the children of the various families deliberately delayed and sent him, his female family members, and younger children to serve as hostages first?
The Chishan Army doesn't mind helping Li Pu do some dirty and tiring work, but does it mean that Li Pu can't help but feel embarrassed, so the Chishan Army wants to use force to suppress any behavior of the children of various families that doesn't suit their liking?
In his heart, Li Pu hoped that the Chishan Army would help him put pressure on the Zhu families.
No matter how hated Han Qian is, the Chishan Army currently has 30,000 elite troops. Before the attack on Shangjiabao, the Chuzhou Army organized thousands of elite infantry and cavalry, but they did not let go of the Chishan Army's flank defense line.
If the troops are lost and the generals are lost, it cannot be said that the Chishan Army who recruited slaves and maidservants to join the army is a rabble.
Wei Zhen and other families may have thoughts of surrendering to the Chuzhou Army, but before there is a further military confrontation between the Chuzhou Army and the Chishan Army to determine their strengths and weaknesses, the Chishan Army will hang over the heads of the Lishui families like a dark cloud.
They didn't dare to make any changes.
However, Li Pu would not express his inner expectation on his face. He had a gloomy face. After a while, he looked at Wei Zhen and asked, "Master Wei, what do you think?"
"Such procrastination is not enough. If the Marquis has a decision, he will make up his mind to do it." Wei Zhen could only give up and say at this time.
He didn't know if Han Qian would protect his shortcomings after sending the slave of the Shang family to Nantang Village, but the slave of the Shang family had no hesitation and cut off Liu Zishu's left arm with a knife without any scruples. He was really worried that they would reveal
If there is any intention to join the Chuzhou Army, Han Qian will most likely carry out a bloody purge and suppress them.
After all, Han Qian's actions can also suppress Li Pu's arrogance in competing with him for power in Yueyang...
