Chapter 703: In Yiliang City
"Yes, the most important thing for us now is to take down this Yiliang, and then, go south again, and eliminate this scourge as soon as possible!" A hint of determination flashed in Mingyi's eyes.
"Brother Mingyi understands my distress now?" "Wang Shouren" looked at Mingyi.
"Mingyi is stupid, and he actually questioned the adult, it's really a crime!" Mingyi arched his hand apologetically.
"It's okay, Brother Mingyi is also worried about the people!" "Wang Shouren" waved his hand, "Next, attacking this Yiliang, it depends on Brother Mingyi, after all, I have no experience in battle formations!" ”
"That's nature, and it's a duty to do it!" Mingyi said with a resolute face.
"Okay, then next, please General Mingyi! Of course, I'll give you help! "Wang Shouren" nodded meaningfully.
Mingyi nodded his head and looked at this ragtag army and bowed his head in deep thought.
"Wang Shouren" saw that he had entered the state so quickly, smiled with relief, and turned to Zhao Mingxing, "Mingxing, organize the students, get ready, and treat the poisoned people at any time!" ”
Zhao Mingxing should have been, and turned back to the students to arrange this matter.
As soon as the affairs are properly arranged, "Wang Shouren" will set his eyes on the Yiliang County in front of him, Wang Shushi, we will meet for the second time and will be here soon! I don't know, are you ready?
At this time, in Yiliang City, the city gate was closed, and in the temporary county office, several people were sitting together and discussing.
"Brother Wang, that Qincha is coming! I wonder how we should deal with it? The bearded man frowned and asked the king's scribe.
The king's scribe did not answer, but asked, "How many of the people are still in the city?" ”
"About halfway there's that! The rest are all rich businessmen and squires, so it's not easy to fool! The bearded man replied helplessly.
"Then borrow troops from the squires on the grounds that the thieves are coming, and take over the force in their hands!" The king scribe said in a deep voice.
"This, I'm afraid that these cunning guys won't!" The bearded man was puzzled, "Didn't you just send away a group of people?" Under the sharp reduction of pressure, they are only afraid that they will be more confident in their hearts, and they will not let us take advantage of our wishes! And, I've already tried it, and they're all pushing back on our call for fear that there will be a mob among the rest of the people, and that they won't be able to guarantee their safety if there is another sneak attack! ”
"It's okay, if you take a tougher attitude, let's just say that if they don't send troops this time and wait for the thieves to come, we don't dare to guarantee their safety! If they still don't cooperate, let them give food and be ruthless, I don't believe it, they don't compromise! Remember, this time there are no people, and the food must be called up! A hint of cruelty flashed in the eyes of the scribe Wang.
The bearded man looked at him, a hint of hesitation flashing in his eyes.
"What? Still have concerns? ”
"Brother Wang, this envoy is about to arrive, shall we stabilize the situation first, and then plot the follow-up?" The bearded man looked at him and said slowly.
"You're soft-hearted again! You! Now that Wang Shouren is coming, if we hesitate again, wait for that Wang Shouren's soldiers to come to the city, I am afraid that the daylily will also be cold! You know, according to reliable sources, Wang Shouren has an unusual weapon in his hand, if we don't strengthen our defense, we don't have to wait for the envoy to arrive, I'm afraid that we will be dumpled by Wang Shouren, when the time comes, how can we explain to the envoy, go, at this moment, it is not the time for a woman's benevolence. ”
A trace of helplessness flashed in the bearded man's eyes, and he should go.
"Brother Wang, aren't you going to take the opportunity to capture Na Qincha? Why did you go back empty-handed? A sneer flashed in the eyes of a scholar next to him, who was also dressed as a scribe.
Scribe Wang's face sank, looked at him, and shook his head disdainfully, "Brother Ma is really worrying too much, originally I thought that you would be able to keep these squires obedient when I was away, but I didn't expect that I had to come back to clean up this mess, but at this time, I still have to worry about my business!" Your old man really has a big heart! ”
"You?" The horse scribe was in a hurry.
"Alright, you two, we can be in the same boat now, why do you quarrel so much over these little things, is it interesting? If this were known to the Envoy, you would know what the consequences would be! The other strong man next to him was unwilling, frowning and looking at them with a displeased face!
As soon as the envoy was mentioned, the two of them looked at each other, snorted coldly, and turned their heads.
"By the way, I'm also curious, why did Brother Wang let go of such a good opportunity? Is there any reason for forcing it? Seeing that the two of them stopped, the strong man looked at the king scribe and asked in a harmonious voice.
"Brother Xiao, I'm really embarrassed!" The king scrivener smiled bitterly.
"What do you mean by that?" The strong man surnamed Xiao was puzzled for a while.
"This time I went to drive the people out of Yiliang, and Brother Shi and I actually found that Wang Qincha seemed to know our purpose, and actually sent people to intercept the people."
"What?" The strong man surnamed Xiao and the scribe Ma were shocked, looked at each other, and then turned their eyes to the scribe Wang, waiting for his explanation.
"Yes, that Wang Shouren actually sent that Li Bing to lead the team, divided into several ways to intercept the people, and gathered them in one place, as if he wanted to give porridge for disaster relief, but I feel that the situation is very wrong!"
"Cut!" When the scrivener Ma heard this, his face returned to normal, and he sneered at him, "Then Wang Shouren came to relieve the disaster and gathered the people together, what's wrong?" Fuss! ”
Oh, yes! The strong man surnamed Xiao also had some doubts in his heart, but he didn't say anything, waiting for the following, after all, he knew that this Wang scribe was deeply favored by the envoy, and there must be a reason for this action!
Scribe Wang rolled his eyes and glanced at Scribe Ma with disdain, "Why don't you say that someone is a human head and pig brain?" If it were that simple, would I need to be so excited? What's more, the envoy attaches so much importance to this Wang Shouren, can he be so shallow like someone? ”
"You!" The horse scribe pointed at the king scribe, and was so angry that he was speechless by his words with a gun and a stick.
The strong man surnamed Xiao looked at the scrivener Ma unhappily, "Scrivener Ma, don't make any more troubles, listen to Brother Wang!" ”
Then he turned his head and looked at the scribe Wang, "Brother Wang, what's going on?" ”
"Brother Xiao still understands things!"
"Brother Wang!" The strong man surnamed Xiao frowned for a while.
When the Wang scribe heard this, he smiled apologetically at the strong man surnamed Xiao, and no longer fought with the Ma scribe, "Brother Lan, this is how things are. After we found out that Wang Shouren actually sent people to intercept the people, at first, we thought it was for disaster relief, but when we got closer to investigate, we found that Wang Shouren actually did not let these Yiliang people enter his camp, and even placed them alone in a place of refuge. It is especially worth noting that this Wang Shouren actually took the people from the Tai Hospital to investigate one by one in the camp! ”
Oh! The strong man surnamed Xiao frowned, and his eyes flashed from time to time.
"Especially, the spies reported that there was a buzz in the camp, you say, what does that mean?" Wang Shuzhi looked at the strong man surnamed Xiao and asked with a solemn face.
"What? It's true? Are you sure? The strong man surnamed Xiao asked with a shocked face.
The scribe Wang smiled bitterly, "I also thought that the spies might have made a mistake, so I sent people to investigate again, not to mention, I actually found that the camp was actually burying the burning things in the pit, what do you think?" ”
The strong man surnamed Xiao blurted out, "They have already discovered Gu worms? ”
"Yes, exactly!" The king scribe nodded affirmatively.
"Cut, who knows if you made it up! You know, this is our hard work for more than two years, is Wang Shouren an immortal? How could he have discovered our means of planning so easily? The scribe was deeply suspicious of this, and stimulated him with words.
Wang Shuzhi ignored him, and explained to the strong man surnamed Xiao, "Regardless of whether this matter is true or not, after weighing the comparison of strength, I discussed with Brother Shi and prepared to lead the troops to attack them. ”
"Not bad! That's a good idea! There are only more than 300 guards in Naqincha, not to mention, they also divided their troops to intercept the people, and there must not be many soldiers left behind. The strong man surnamed Xiao nodded approvingly.
"However, when we led our troops forward, we found that Wang Shouren had actually been waiting for him, although there were few people, but the army was neat, and he was an elite spirit! At this time, I realized why the envoy was so solemnly confessed, telling us to be careful of this Wang Shouren. In addition, I found that there were endless shouts of killing behind them, and it was obvious that there were still two armies fighting behind them, and I thought that the envoy had sent his brothers to help, and I was overjoyed and took advantage of the situation. However, when I met Wang Shouren, he was not worried at all, and looked calm and relaxed, as if everything was under his control. At this point, I was a little apprehensive! ”
"He's not going to be bluffing, is he?" The strong man surnamed Xiao frowned and guessed.
"Originally, I thought it was, so I took a closer look, but found that although the people behind him were shocked, the sergeants behind Wang Shouren were full of spirit, and their momentum was condensed together, and they simply looked like they were fearless, and in addition, the spies reported that those who fought with people, one side was our people, and the other side was Lu Liangwei, and we were still at a disadvantage, so after thinking about it again, I had to retreat with Brother Shi to defend in order to report later."
"Well, it's the right thing to do!" The strong man surnamed Xiao thought about it and nodded, "Then Lu Liangwei also has a great reputation in our Yunnan Province, if you go head-to-head with it, it is indeed a bit of an egg to hit a stone, not to mention that we have more important tasks, it is not cost-effective to lose both, let's focus on the overall situation!" ”
The scribe Ma next to him muttered a few words, looking at the strong man surnamed Xiao in fear, but he didn't dare to challenge the scribe Wang again.
"By the way, Brother Xiao, when will the envoy arrive? Without an envoy to preside over the overall situation, I am always a little uneasy! The king scrivener smiled bitterly.
"Brother Wang, don't be presumptuous, you have done a very good job, as long as our research results are in place, this time the world of Yunnan Province is not ours, and even more, maybe half of the southern Xinjiang will be ours!" The strong man surnamed Xiao comforted with a smile in his eyes.
The king scribe nodded, a hint of longing flashing in his eyes.
Scrivener Ma looked at Scrivener Wang, but there was a trace of envy and jealousy in his eyes, and more hatred.
"Okay, it's important to get down to business, it's still a bit far to talk about this!" The king scribe cleaned up his mood
A hint of appreciation flashed in the eyes of the strong man surnamed Xiao, this kid, with such a heart, no wonder he was so valued by the envoy?
"Brother Wang, how do we deal with that Wang Shouren's offensive now?"
A gleam flashed in the eyes of the scribe Wang, and he was ready to be arranged.
Suddenly, there was a rush outside.
The three of them couldn't help but look outside.
But I saw a gust of cold wind, and a government official came in and reported, "Brother Wang, then Wang Shouren is about to go down to the city!" ”
"So fast?" A hint of surprise flashed in the eyes of the scribe Wang and he cried out.
The strong man surnamed Xiao and the scribe Ma were also surprised, although they heard the scribe Wang say that Wang Shouren was powerful, but they had no intuitive impression, and they did not expect that Wang Shouren would come to the city of Yiliang County so quickly.
"How many centaurs?" The king scribe calmed his mind and asked intently.
"About three or four hundred!"
"Three or four hundred?" The Wang scribe hesitated for a while, "So little? ”
"Yes, several scouts have been checked, and that's it, there are some people and people dressed as doctors!" The officials reported one after another.
The king scribe was silent.
"What? Is there something wrong? The strong man surnamed Xiao frowned and asked.
"That's not right, before, they already had three or four hundred people, plus the people led by Master Yan, Master Yun and others who took in, I'm afraid that they have already broken through the five hundred mark, especially the new force of Lu Liangwei, and there are definitely more than these people. But now they only have three or four hundred people, something is wrong, something is really wrong! The king scribe muttered, his face solemn, and he pondered.
The strong man surnamed Xiao also looked at the Wang scribe in surprise, listened carefully to his words, and his face was solemn for a while.
When he saw that the king scribe was pondering, he asked the officer, "What else is the situation, report it together!" ”
"No more!" The official shook his head.
"Let's go down!" The strong man surnamed Xiao commanded.
As soon as the official heard this, he bowed down and was about to retreat.
"Wait, are the scouts from other directions returning?" The king scrivener looked up sharply and asked.
The official hesitated.
"Go and count all the spies from all directions and see what they have to say!" When the king scribe saw it, his eyes froze, and he commanded.
"Yes!" The official flew away in response.
"Brother Wang, what's the matter, you have a clue?" A hint of joy flashed in the eyes of the strong man surnamed Xiao, and he knew that this Wang scribe must have discovered something.
The king scrivener smiled bitterly, "I'm not sure either!" ”
"Tell me, what do you think of?" The strong man surnamed Xiao urged.
"I think, I'm afraid that this Wang Shouren has already sent troops in several directions to intercept the people, otherwise, he will definitely not be more than this! I just don't know if I guessed right! The king scribe said solemnly.
"Did this guy really guess our plan?" The strong man surnamed Xiao said with a shocked expression.
"Hmmm! That's what I guessed! The king scribe nodded.
"Hmph, so a few people, even if the soldiers are divided into several ways, what can they do?" The horse scribe said disdainfully.
"That's right!" The strong man surnamed Xiao was happy, yes, this horse scribe is usually confused, but he didn't expect that now he actually reminded the person in his dream with a word, this is really a wise man's thousand thoughts, there must be a mistake, a fool's thousand worries, there must be a mistake!
The king scribe was also happy in his eyes, yes, even if they divided their troops into several ways, what could they do? I'm a little worried! Although he thought so in his heart, he would not be so soft, "Hmph, who knows what hole cards people have, if he takes advantage of the loophole, I'm afraid we will fall short!" ”
"Hmph, isn't this just right, after they divide their troops, will the number of soldiers and horses who come to Yiliang be reduced now, won't our pressure be very light, if we eliminate this Qincha Guard, wouldn't it be a great achievement? Now, the most important thing is how to arrange and stop this Chincha guard! Everything else, don't think about it at all! The scrivener smiled disdainfully.
Yo! What's wrong with this horse scribe today, if God helps! It is really impressive that such constructive suggestions can be put forward!
"Not bad! Brother Ma's words are reasonable! The strong man surnamed Xiao nodded.
"Brother Xie Xiao's compliment!" The scrivener Ma's face was proud, like a villain's triumph.
Wang Shuzhi looked at him helplessly, it was too annoying to say that since this Ma Shushu could be sent here to deal with such an important matter, he had some ability, and it was absolutely no problem to be alone, but his villain's rampant temper was unacceptable and unreassuring, so he let him be his deputy and obey his own arrangement, but people were not happy, he looked like he was suppressed, and he sprinkled the fire in his stomach on himself, he was really innocent!
"Okay, let's take a look at the spies from all directions, and everything will naturally be known! When the time comes, let's make various countermeasures! The strong man surnamed Xiao opened the topic and said, "By the way, let's see how the situation is with Brother Shi, and then make a decision!" ”
The scrivener snorted coldly and turned his head silently.
The king scrivener sighed lightly and sat down in his chair to meditate on what to do.
Suddenly, a sound of rapid steps came in, and before anyone arrived, the sound came first.
"Brother Wang, something is wrong!" The bearded man rushed in with a gust of cold wind.
Everyone looked up at him, and the strong man surnamed Xiao frowned for a while, "Brother Shi, has the fire burned your butt?" ”
When the bearded man heard this, he instantly suppressed the momentum of the wind and fire, "Brother Xiao, that Wang Shouren has already arrived in the city!" ”
"It's also worth the fuss?" The strong man surnamed Xiao looked at him calmly.
"What? You got it? The bearded man only knew at this time that he had already taken the first step to get the letter, and for a while, his face fell, and he rushed back as soon as he was still in the letter.
"How's the conscription going?" The king asked.
"This?" The bearded man was speechless for a while, yes, he only cared about the news, but forgot that he still had a major duty to complete!
"I'll go!" The bearded man shrank his neck like a mouse seeing a cat, and was about to turn away with a step.
"Alright, just wait here for news, no need to go!" The king scribe commanded angrily.
Ay! The bearded man instantly showed a relieved expression, and went to recruit soldiers from the squire and rich merchants, which was really an impossible task for a rough man like himself! If you go to smash and rob, it won't be bad!
After the bearded man sat down, he looked left and right, but he felt even more embarrassed. Just because, the Wang scribe and the Ma scribe had gloomy faces and did not speak to each other, but the big man surnamed Xiao was pondering beside him.
He didn't expect that between his coming and going, what happened to make the atmosphere so depressing? As a rough man, but also a rough man who doesn't understand the situation, he didn't recruit to break this embarrassment for a while, so he had to stay by himself more awkwardly.
The atmosphere was so solemn, fortunately, just when the bearded man was very entangled in how to break this embarrassment, there was a sound of hurried steps outside.
The bearded man breathed a sigh of relief, stood up, and faced the door, "What's the matter?" ”
There was a sense of relief in his tone.
"Scribe of the King of Qiqi, there is a letter in return!"
What letter? The bearded man was a little stunned, and turned his head to look at the Wang scribe.
But the king scribe ignored him, and with a hint of joy on his face, he responded, "Come in and talk back!" ”
The bearded man let the door of the room with a confused mind, and a servant entered the room, stepped forward and replied, "There is a team on the east, west and north roads that is rushing to the road, the purpose is unknown, only the south road does not have any army soldiers and horses!" ”
Oh! The king scribe fell into deep thought.
The man surnamed Xiao, who had already raised his head, was also surprised when he heard this letter, what is the purpose of this Wang Shouren? However, when he thought about it, he couldn't figure it out.
As for the scrivener Ma, he sneered and squinted at the scrivener Wang.
But the bearded man looked at this, looked at that, and was confused, he didn't understand what the situation was at all? Now that Wang Shouren has led the Qin Guards to the city, how can these people still be so calm?
For a moment, there was an eerie silence in the room.
The big man surnamed Xiao raised his eyes and saw the sneer of the Ma scribe, and his heart moved, if this Ma scribe has divine help today, maybe, this guy has figured it out?
"Scrivener Ma, what do you think of such a situation?" The big man surnamed Xiao asked with a smile.
"Brother Xiao, what can I think of?" When the scrivener Ma saw the big man surnamed Xiao asking, in an instant, his face changed, his face was sad, and he shook his head and sighed.
Originally, the scribe Wang, who had already looked up in surprise, looked up at him, but when he saw the scribe Ma like this, his face instantly became gloomy.
How could he not know what the idea of the scrivener Ma was, but he just wanted to watch the excitement from the side, even if he already had a fixed opinion in his heart, he would never say it, because, now it is the scrivener Wang who is in charge, with the relationship between the two of them, it would be good if he didn't dismantle the stage, and he could still make suggestions for himself? He wouldn't have thought of such a thing!
looked at the big man surnamed Xiao, smiled bitterly, and continued to bow his head and think hard.
The big man surnamed Xiao looked at the two of them who were intrigued, and felt helpless for a while, however, after all, this matter was not put on the surface, and he couldn't force him to agree, after all, this was a conflict of interest between the two, and it couldn't be avoided at all! I had no choice but to sigh, and I had to rest and ask the horse scribe's thoughts! Look at the scribe Wang sympathetically, you can only ask for more blessings for yourself!
At this moment, suddenly, there was another sound of rattling outside.
In an instant, the faces of the people in the room changed greatly, could it be that Wang Shouren had something wrong with him?
