The atmosphere fell into a brief silence.
"General, I think you might as well go to the army and ask if there are any sergeants who are familiar with this area?"
At this time, Sun Er had an idea and thought of a way.
"Well, that's right. I'll ask someone soon."
Xu Lang nodded and immediately agreed.
Indeed, there is no need to delay, the night is already deep, if anyone knows the way, no matter what, he must risk it and follow.
…
After half a stick of incense, Sun Er led two sergeants to see Xu Lang.
"General, if you have someone who knows the way!"
With that said, Sun Er got out of the way.
When the two saw each other, they quickly bowed to Xu Lang.
"No, brothers, do you know the way to Liucheng?"
Xu Lang didn't beat around the bush and asked directly.
"I know, I know, my two brothers are originally from Yiling. Before joining the army, they followed their father to sell salt. We have basically walked this road several times."
The older of the two answered immediately.
"really?!"
Xu Lang was very happy.
"Seriously! General, my two brothers dare to issue a military order!"
The two men originally belonged to King Ping and surrendered to the Jingzhou camp. After Jingzhou was taken over by Xu Lang, the two followed Xu Lang from the middle to attack Changsha. At this time, I heard that the coach is looking for someone who knows the way, why don't you hurry up and show it off? He might as well make a contribution and give himself some face.
"Okay, okay, that's it. You two will each lead a way, and we will set off immediately. Commander Sun Er, you, Gang Leader Zheng, and Headmaster Baiyun will lead dozens of soldiers with high martial arts skills to the direction of Liucheng and find the ambush Zhao Zhao. Brother Ting's group of people, I predict, will be small in number. Just wait and be careful. If the prince is both hypocritical and practical, and puts his troops on the road of Liucheng, remember not to alert the enemy, but to return the favor quickly. I will bring my own army and come this way!"
With someone to lead the way, Xu Lang immediately made marching arrangements.
"General, it's too late today, why not send only a few brothers to find out where the enemy is?"
Sun Er thought of what Xu Lang said. The eldest prince was good at using tricks. If he really had a back-up plan, as the commander of Xu Lang's personal guard camp, he had to consider Xu Lang's safety.
"It doesn't matter. I have thought about it again and again. There is no doubt that the eldest prince will take this route. Moreover, he is afraid that he will not be able to escape. How can he have time to set up an ambush in such a hurry in the mountains and fields at night?"
Xu Lang smiled slightly and remained unmoved.
"Then, general, be careful, I will take the first step."
Sun Er couldn't say anything anymore, so he picked up his sword and stood up.
Soon, he, Zheng Baye and others disappeared into the night.
As soon as Sun Er left, Xu Lang immediately led the entire army and dispatched in an orderly manner under the guidance of the leading sergeant.
…
But at this end, the eldest prince did as Xu Lang expected, walking along the border of Wuling County to the edge of Dangerous Water.
The two thousand sergeants who stayed at Luocheng Ferry never followed, and there was no news. The eldest prince knew that most of them had an accident. So, after leaving Huarong Road, he divided his troops again. Of course, Liucheng was close to Jingzhou, so he didn't want to scare off the enemy, so he only ordered one of his generals to lead thousands of troops to bluff. He also asked Jiang Shen to lead his disciples and several masters to help him prepare the tail that was following him, and to carry out his strategy of luring the enemy.
Therefore, what Zhao Ting encountered was Jiang Shen and others who were lagging behind. In terms of martial arts, Zhao Ting was no match for Jiang Shen, but Jiang Shen was a little too confident at the time and only sent a few disciples to kill Zhao Ting and others. As a result, despite the brothers' desperate efforts, Zhao Ting and the other three managed to escape. Only Zhao Ting was responsible for breaking up the rear, but Jiang Shen was angry and fired an arrow. Fortunately, after Tang Hu shot Chu Yunzhi to death with a poisonous arrow last time, both of them restrained themselves. Therefore, the poison of the arrow was not quenched, allowing Zhao Ting to save his life.
However, Jiang Shen could not catch up for a while, and he was afraid that there would be a large number of chasing troops behind him, which would put him at a disadvantage, so he had no choice but to leave angrily.
