Chapter 65: The Horse Thief

Updated: 2013-11-22

Zong Ying saw that everyone had arrived, so he told him about the horse thief. The generals in the tent were angry and cursed. At this time, the Chen soldier suddenly got up and said with a gloomy face: "I have also heard of those horse thieves, each of them is very strong, and each of them is equipped with good horses, and the places where they do evil are all plains. If you send heavy troops to beg, you will startle the snakes, and those horse thieves come and go freely, and when they come back in the future, they will definitely vent their hatred on the people. In my opinion, you can send an elite cavalry to go quickly, kill him by surprise, and attack him unprepared! ”

Chen Bing can be a mid-squire of the seventh rank and twenty-seventh order, and naturally he has some skills, and these words are the first to be true. Zong Ying couldn't help but echo and said: "What Chen Shilang said is very true, but there are not many good horsemen in the army, and there are only more than sixty good horses brought by Deng Yun, and there are nearly hundreds of horse thieves, I am afraid it will be difficult to deal with!" ”

When Chen Bing heard this, he grinned and secretly glanced at Deng Yun, Deng Yun's face was expressionless, but he knew in his heart that this Chen Bing must have a conspiracy and wanted to harm himself, so he heard him say: "The young general's words are wrong. Deng Yun's group, when they first joined the army, they were amazed by the four seats, and no one in the army was dissatisfied. Deng Yun was even more valued by the young general, and he got the post of Wu Yilang without making an inch. If I were him, I would like to go to war to repay the kindness of this acquaintance!! Brother Deng, do you say yes or no? ”

With Chen Bing's words, everyone couldn't help but look at Deng Yun one after another. Deng Yun's face sank, he stood up unhurriedly, and said to Zong Ying: "What Chen Shilang said is extremely true. Yun Yuan led the troops into battle, and he must eliminate the leader of the horse thieves and bandits and eliminate the harm for the people!! ”

Zong Ying was overjoyed when she heard this, and thought that Deng Yun had always been resourceful, so she hurriedly asked: "Brother seems to have a plan, but he already has a plan!?" ”

Deng Yun smiled brightly, and deliberately glanced at Chen Bing with a sassy look, and then said: "According to the young general, most of those horse thieves are making trouble in the southeast plain, where there is a valley mouth in the south, called Yazuikou. I wanted to lead a troop of cavalry myself as bait to provoke the horse thieves first, but then retreat after a fight. Those horse thieves thought that we were cowardly, and they would definitely come to chase him, and when I led him into the mouth of the duck's mouth, I gave an order, and the arrows were fired in unison, and most of the horse thieves were killed in an instant, and then I led the troops back to kill, and then I could annihilate the leader of the bandits and all the thieves!! ”

"Brilliant plan!! Brother is really a hundred talents!! When Zong Ying heard this, her face was overjoyed, and she stood up suddenly, and the rest of the generals were also surprised, came back to their senses, and praised endlessly. Only Chen Bing was smiling in the dark, and he didn't know what he was secretly calculating, and he wanted to do something harmful.

"Thanks to the Major General and all the brothers who look up to me Deng Yun, if they all think that this plan is feasible, Deng Yun will be ruthless and serve the country and the grace of the Major General!" Deng Yun smiled calmly, without the slightest hint of arrogance. Zong Ying was overjoyed when she saw it, and secretly said in her heart: "My father often has teachings, for the generals are not arrogant or arrogant, and when they talk and laugh, they can strategize and win thousands of miles away, and the party is superior." This Deng Yun is young, he has such skills, and he will definitely become a famous general in the world in time, but now his reputation, merits, and qualifications are still shallow, so I should be promoted well, and it can be regarded as repaying the kindness of Zhou's predecessors back then. ”

Zong Ying is similar to her father Zong Ze, and he is also a husband who values love and righteousness. In fact, Deng Yun still had a letter of recommendation written by Zhou Tong to Zong Ze, although Zong Ze was in another place, he could ask Zong Ying to pass it on to his father. And with Zong Ying's carefulness, he will definitely be able to guess the general meaning of this letter, and he will make arrangements. It's just that Deng Yun doesn't want to take this as a step forward, he thinks that the attention he gets through this method has no foundation, so it is better to rely on his own ability to fight for the truth, and when he becomes famous and sees the old general Zongze, he will hand it over to him, not only can he prove himself, but also not weaken the reputation of his own teacher.

Deng Yun attaches great importance to Zhou Tong and regards him as a close relative in his heart. Especially when Deng Yun got the Kanglong stick, knew its preciousness, and his feelings for Zhou Tong reached a limit, simply put, just like last time, if Chen Bing dared to insult Zhou Dong for half a sentence, Deng Yun would definitely be furious, change his previous steadyness, and make a big fuss. What are the consequences of Chen Bing? This is not guaranteed. But nothing good will end!

Speaking of which, Zhou Tong also gave Deng Yun another letter, why didn't he mention it, all because the letter given by Zhou Tong was blank, without a word or ink. Deng Yunzhi must have a deep meaning, and he has always been in the process of penetrating.

Having said that, Deng Yun offered a clever plan and was willing to fight. After Zong Ying praised it, he nodded his head and ordered Deng Yun to prepare immediately, he was going to set off tomorrow to catch those horse thieves off guard! ”

Deng Yun's expression was shocked, and he retreated, and before leaving, he deliberately glanced at Chen Bing with a bit of provocation, and hated Chen Bing is gritted his teeth. Zong Ying also secretly noticed this detail, and couldn't help frowning, secretly a little worried.

That night, the moonlight shimmered, and the night sky seemed to be sprinkled with a silver-white curtain of light, which was very beautiful. In such a haode night, if you put a table, get a few side dishes, a jar of water and wine, and then call a friend, when the moonlight, drink and talk, it is a great joy in life!

Just when Zong Ying was about to send someone to call Deng Yun, Deng Yun took the initiative to find him. The two entered the tent, and under Deng Yun's eyes, Zong Ying understood and ordered the guards outside to go three zhang away, prohibiting all Xiaoxiao from approaching.

"Brother, I was about to look for you, but you came to the door by yourself. I don't know what's going on? Zong Ying raised her eyebrows and opened her mouth to ask.

Deng Yun smiled faintly, as if he knew everything about it, and replied, "If my guess is correct, the young general and I are about the same thing." ”

"Oh?" Zong Ying was also interested, and smiled slightly. Deng Yun opened his mouth and whispered two words: "Chen Bing? ”

When Zong Ying heard this, her face suddenly changed, and after a while, she calmed down and exclaimed: "I heard that Yuan Xiu's disciples and grandsons are now calling you a demon!" I think my brother is really a demon! ”

Zong Ying sighed, then frowned, and then asked, "You actually know to be careful of this person, why are you provoking again and again today?" This person is narrow-minded and sees you as a thorn in his side, and he will definitely try his best to get revenge! But don't be afraid, I have informed the generals who are standing guard that they have specially sent more manpower to prohibit everyone from entering and leaving the camp, and beware of someone to report the news! ”

"Thank you, General, for your kindness. It's just that now it seems that I may be about to let it down. He also asked the major general to withdraw half of his soldiers, and ordered those generals to deliberately act as if they were lax in their defenses, and if anyone sneaked out of the camp, they should not intercept them, and just report to them as soon as possible. ”

Deng Yun smiled mysteriously, and Zong Ying was confused, shocked and stunned. Deng Yun smiled: "I can't hide it. This move is actually part of the strategy, the duck's mouth is flat, not suitable for ambush at all, but the grass near it can be ambushed. ”

When Zong Ying heard this, her heart jumped instantly, and she suddenly realized, opened her mouth suddenly, and it took a while before she spoke.

"Brother you! You! It's so cunning!! ”

"Huh. No, no, no. The teacher often teaches, and when dealing with traitors and villains, in addition to being careful, you must also use special methods. The so-called many acts of injustice will kill oneself, and harm others will eventually harm oneself. These villains will definitely show their flaws, and when they are used at that time, they can have unexpected miraculous effects! Deng Yun smiled calmly, and Zong Ying exclaimed repeatedly, whether it was Deng Yun or Zhou Tong, they were all in awe.

So Zong Ying acted according to Deng Yun's strategy, and sure enough, at the time of the third watch, someone came to report that a few people sneaked out of the camp. Zong Ying was overjoyed when she heard this, but Deng Yun was still cautious, thinking that these people would definitely come back, teach those generals who were standing guard, pay attention to them, and make it convenient when the time comes. Zong Ying seemed to be accustomed to Deng Yun's steadiness and thoroughness, and she was not surprised, and after the two talked for a while, Deng Yun said goodbye.

Early the next morning, just after dawn, Mo Yo passed the fifth watch. Deng Yun went to Zong Ying again, and learned that those people didn't come back until the fifth watch, and after calculating this time, he was even more sure that these people went to ventilate and report the news. Deng Yun had already instructed Xu Qing and the others to prepare last night, and immediately ordered all teams to eat immediately, and after half an hour, they quickly set up their troops. Everyone got the order, and after they were full of food and rest, with Deng Yun's order, they set off. Someone reported to Chen Bing that Chen Bing hurriedly came to visit, and when he saw that Deng Yun had led the army out of the village, he secretly said: "Why did this barbarian lead the army to set off so early?" Hmph, I think he's in a hurry to die!! ”

Thinking of this, Chen Bing suddenly grinned a gloomy smile, and was in a good mood, so he hummed a little song and left swaggeringly, so unpleasant!

Let's say that Deng Yun's group of nearly hundreds of people marched fast. Suddenly, Deng Yun's expression froze, looked at the scene in front of him, and instead showed a smile, and said, "This night fog has not cleared yet, if God helps me!" ”

Now the sky is just bright, and it is still slightly dim, and the fog of last night in the vicinity is still not dispersed, and the sky and the earth are hazy. Where is this suitable for marching, when Xu Qing heard this, his face couldn't help but change slightly, he opened his mouth, and saw Deng Yun looking confident, thinking that he must have his own separation, so he didn't ask. It's just that Ji Qing was anxious, so he persuaded in a hurry: "Big brother, slow down!" The area was foggy and unfit for marching. Rush forward, isn't it? ”

Deng Yun smiled slightly, but said: "Third brother Hugh should be careful, I have already made arrangements." ”

Deng Yun said, one person rode out on horseback, and smiled at everyone: "I am very familiar with this area, as long as you brothers, follow the queue, don't panic, let me lead the way, and soon you will be able to leave this fog area and arrive at the ambush site." ”

It turned out that Deng Yun had seen the fog here last night, and he was overjoyed, and he also invited a guide to Zong Ying. When Ji Qing heard this, his face tightened, and then he knew that he was worried about it. Huo Rui next to him didn't forget to quip: "Haha, when did the eldest brother make a mistake?" ”

When Ji Qing heard this, he felt embarrassed, and immediately glared at Huo Rui. Deng Yun smiled, and then ordered the march. Deng Yun's team was strictly disciplined, and no one made trouble, and there was this fog to cover it, about an hour later, they came to the ambush site unconsciously, and each team went to the ambush according to Deng Yun's instructions. Crossbowmen, sword, spear and infantry were all ambushed in the dense grass, while Deng Yun led the cavalry to ambush in the woods not far away. The ambush has been decided, and all teams are extremely cautious, waiting for orders.

Two hours later, the sun was blazing and the fog had lifted. Suddenly, a large area of wind and dust surged, and only the sound of hooves and horses was heard.
