In a seemingly large forest, Fuyao Battalion was resting. There were many security guards around, always alert that the rebels would catch up and fight.
From the initial 8,000 people, there are now less than 3,000 people left, but none of these fierce bandits feel sad.
In their view, life and death are determined by fate, wealth and honor.
Those who died had no luck, and those who survived did not have pockets full of money. After many days of raids and killings, their bags were filled with gold and silver when they returned.
If it were his own team, Lin Ye would ask them to try not to bring too many things that would affect their marching speed.
But now Lin Ye couldn't say a word. Even if he did, it was to congratulate the gangster for making a fortune again.
Moreover, when we came, we had two horses per person, and when we returned, we had an average of five horses per person. There was a ruthless bandit leader who could fight, and one person now had more than a dozen good horses under his name, and each horse had a horse on his back.
They are all carrying something on their backs.
In addition to restraining them from killing the old, weak, women and children, and from bullying women, Lin Ye could not restrain them in any other way, because this is how these gangsters should be used.
They rested in the forest until early the next morning. The scouts who dispersed reported that no rebels were coming. Everyone breathed a sigh of relief. There shouldn't be too much trouble on the way back.
But what they didn't know was that when the news that Modo and Biqiu Shan's team had also been eaten by Fuyao Battalion came back to the rebel brigade, not only Luo Zhi was furious
His eyes were red with grief and anger, and even Zongzheng was so angry that he kicked over the table.
Zong Zhengxian gave an order to completely wipe out the Fuyao Camp even if they slowed down their entry into the Southwest or even gave up their entry into the Southwest.
Over at the rebel camp, Luo Zhi personally selected generals and mobilized troops. A total of 60,000 people were selected and divided into six teams. They cast a net to block Fuyao Battalion's retreat to Loufan's capital city.
The gangsters will not think about this. No one is chasing them for the time being, so they are not worried. They only look at what is in front of them.
But Lin Ye and Xumi Jinghong had to think about it.
"This time I stabbed Zong Zheng Xian He in the waist several times. If I were Zong Zheng Xian He, I would completely wipe out your team even if I don't attack the Thirteen Southwest Cities for the time being."
Xumi Jinghong looked at the Fuyao Camp gangster who was packing his luggage, with a hint of reluctance in his eyes.
This is a good soldier.
Although it is not a normal team, after countless battles and killings, the combat effectiveness of this team is so strong that it is suffocating. Everyone who can survive is a death on the battlefield.
Lin Ye understood Xumi Jinghong's eyes.
Xumi Jinghong loved the cavalry the most, otherwise he wouldn't have taken the young men selected from Dayu to the wild land of the northwest, and after several years of countless fights, he had trained the undefeated army.
Huben.
He was attracted to Fuyao Camp.
"Can you leave it to me to try?"
Xumi Jinghong suddenly asked.
Lin Ye said: "You were saying just now that Zongzheng Xianhe hates us so much that he will kill us even if he gives up entering the southwest, so your idea is very irrational."
Xumi Jinghong just said he wanted to try it, but Lin Ye immediately stopped his idea.
"It's such a pity."
Xumi Jinghong said: "If used properly, these 3,000 people will be able to exert a combat power of at least 30,000 people in the northern expedition to Loufan."
Lin Ye nodded.
This is the soldier he brought out with his own hands. Isn’t it clear how capable he is of beating him?
But now if they don't give up this team, they won't be able to return to the capital of Loufan. There must be a big net waiting for them in front.
Even if the rebels were no longer able to fight, they would still number in the hundreds of thousands. Three thousand people, even if they were the gods of death on the battlefield, would not be able to win such a battle. Let alone win, they would not even have much chance to avoid death.
The only chance is not to return to Loufan capital.
"It is necessary for you to go back to Loufan Capital, but there is no need for me to go back."
Xumi said in shock: "You know I came with you just to have a look.
What is Loufan's country like? I'm not familiar with Taishang Shengjun's side, and I can't contribute much, so I can take a detour and take these three thousand people back."
Lin Ye said: "Fuyao Camp is a double-edged sword. It is as sharp as the side facing you on the battlefield. There is no guarantee that it will not cause trouble when you return."
Xumi Jinghong said: "I thought about it just now. If I don't take them back to Yunzhou, I will put them in Caoshu City and I will personally control them."
After Lin Ye pondered for a moment, he finally nodded: "Since you are really distressed, I'll leave it to you. I just hope you remember one thing... don't talk about three thousand cavalry, even if it is thirty thousand,
Three hundred thousand or three million is not as valuable as you alone. If you can't save this team, you can escape and go back."
The unsmiling Xumi Jinghong smiled at Lin Ye and said: "Don't worry, I feel sorry for the combat effectiveness of this cavalry, but I feel sorry for myself even more. I am alive, and I can train more such teams."
Lin Ye hummed and gave all the talismans and other things he carried to Xumi Jinghong.
"If you go back smoothly, you first go to Xiantang City to see Yu Yu Cheng hastily. If nothing else happens, there is a man named Chen Weiwei there at this time. You can take a look at what he has done."
After putting the things away, Xumi Jinghong nodded: "Zhidao, be more careful on your way back."
After finishing speaking, he hugged Lin Ye with a fist.
He gathered the team together, and there were three thousand people. The number of troops was not really large, but there were many horses, so it looked like a large team.
When they reached the high slope, Xumi glanced around.
"General Ye just got some very bad news. You will probably be mad when you find out. I didn't want to tell you at first, but think about it again, why should our Fuyao Camp be so mad?!"
Xumi Jinghong said loudly: "General Ye's master sent people from the capital to inform us that because the imperial court did not trust us and was afraid of our Fuyao Camp, they deliberately leaked our whereabouts and strength to the rebels.
.”
"The imperial court does not dare to deal with our Fuyao camp directly. They want to get rid of us through the hands of the rebels. They are afraid, afraid that we can fight, afraid that we are good at fighting, and even more afraid that we will be disobedient!"
Xumi Jinghong raised his voice and shouted: "Now, the rebels have dispatched at least 200,000 people to lay a dragnet on our way back to the capital, just waiting for us to return!"
"I want to ask my brothers, do we still need to sacrifice our lives for such a court?"
This shout immediately caused the Fuyao camp to explode.
"No!"
"Damn it! Let's just go to the capital and skin that kid Zongzheng Lianhai alive!"
"Go back to the capital and kill all the officials!"
"We have fought so many battles for the imperial court, killed so many people, and lost so many lives. The imperial court has not rewarded us, and now it wants to get rid of us. Let's rebel against this Lou Fan!"
The dissatisfaction of these fierce bandits was vented in the shouts one after another.
Xumi Jinghong waited for a while, and saw that the anger of these gangsters had been completely ignited. He raised his hand to signal, and the gangsters gradually calmed down.
"Now, General Ye is ready to return to the capital quietly. He is going to assassinate the female thief who wants to get rid of our Fuyao Camp!"
Xumi Jinghong said loudly: "General Ye handed you over to me before he went back. He said that you are his brothers in life and death, and he cannot just watch you being betrayed by the court!"
"General Ye has entrusted me to lead you to find a way out. Since Loufan can't tolerate us, then we will leave Loufan!"
Some people echoed loudly, some cheered, and some did not understand and were unwilling to accept it.
"The imperial court treats us like this, why should we just leave like this!?"
"Why don't we catch up with General Ye and kill all those dog officers together with General Ye!"
Xumi Jinghong pressed down again
He pressed his hands to signal everyone to be quiet, and said loudly: "General Ye said that if he goes back alone, he has a smaller target and can do things more conveniently. He will find out in secret.
Whoever betrayed us will definitely kill that person!"
Someone shouted: "Did General Ye not want us anymore? Did he run away on his own?!"
Xumi Jinghong said angrily: "How dare you! You don't know what General Ye will do to you?"
He shouted: "General Ye's master is still in the capital, and his brothers and sisters are also in the capital. He wants to take all his relatives out and then join us. He knows that you are all willing to follow him and fight back, but he doesn't want to let
You are making unnecessary sacrifices."
"Follow me and go south. After bypassing the rebels' encirclement, we will fight to Dongbo in one go. Mr. Ye and General Ye are both Dongbo people, and we have a safe place in Dongbo!"
The gangsters thought about it and realized that going to Dongbo was not a bad way out.
General Ye's master is Mr. Ye. Mr. Ye's master is Mr. Dongbo. He has a very high status in Dongbo, so he can naturally settle them down.
"If you are willing to follow me, let's go to Dongbo and wait for General Ye to come back. With the abilities of Mr. Ye and General Ye, sooner or later they will take us back to take revenge!"
"If you don't want to come with me, take your captured war trophies and I will send them to you on behalf of General Ye. There will be no embarrassment!"
This group of gangsters are not stupid. They also know that once they disperse, how can they avoid being pursued and intercepted by the rebels?
【In view of the general environment,
A team of 3,000 people may still have a way to survive if they gather together, but once they disperse, no one will be able to leave this place unharmed.
"We're following you!"
Someone shouted: "Let's go to Dongbo first and wait for General Ye. Sooner or later we will come back to fight!"
Xumi Jinghong shouted loudly: "We must fight back! Let us go where the people in the court dare not go. We put down the tribe's rebellion. After we returned, they locked us all up and refused to give us the rewards promised to us."
!」
"It's like this again. No one dared to chase the rebels. They let us come, and now they are afraid of us going back. They actually betrayed us to the rebels. We at Fuyao Battalion will not tolerate such hatred!"
"I can't bear it!"
"I can't bear it!"
"We must kill them back, chop up all the people who betrayed us, use their heads as urinals, and kill all their clan members!"
The shouts kept coming and going.
Xumi Jinghong secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
It is no problem to take this team and leave now, but the real problem has never been to take this team and go, but how to avoid the siege of the rebels, who are hundreds of thousands of enemies.
Now he has also found out that Zongzheng had a very capable general named Luo Zhi. The rebel generals they killed were all Luo Zhi's trusted subordinates. It's easy to imagine how much Luo Zhi wanted to destroy them.
Got it.
"Now let me announce military orders, just two!"
Xumi Jinghong shouted loudly: "The first rule, follow me just like you follow General Ye, obey my orders unconditionally, and those who disobey orders will be killed! The second rule, I will take you through the places along the way.
, all the seizures are still yours!"
"Okay! Done!"
"Follow you!"
The gangsters shouted again, and the overwhelming anger just now turned into extreme excitement.
Xumi Jinghong knew that Lin Ye was right, such a team was indeed a double-edged sword.
If it is used well, three thousand people can be used as thirty thousand people in the future; if it is not used well, it will create trouble for bandits.
"Let's go!"
Xumi Jinghong waved and rushed out at the lead. The fierce bandits from Fuyao Camp followed him and rushed southward, like a torrent.
On a high slope in the distance, Lin Ye, who was alone, looked at the retreating team. He cupped his fists and said, "Brother, take care."
Then he turned his horse and headed back toward the capital.
The path he would take alone might be more dangerous than the path taken by the three thousand people in Fuyao Camp.
