"Brother Six, we found an enemy camp ten miles ahead." Hong Hu came over and reported.
"Okay, has the other party discovered us?" Although Zhang Rui knew that the possibility was low, he still couldn't help but ask.
"The scouts from both sides have met, and presumably they have discovered our traces." Hong Hu answered truthfully.
"Yes, that's right. As long as the other party is not a fool, they will send scouts to explore the way." Zhang Rui murmured a few words, and then said to Hong Hu: "I know, thank you for your hard work, Commander Hong. 1. You go ahead and do your work." Bar!"
"Yes, Sixth Brother." Hong Hu gave Zhang Rui a military salute and then left.
Looking at Hong Hu's simple and neat military salute, Zhang Rui felt that it was really wise for him to introduce this. You don’t want others to kneel down to you at every turn, and you still have a lot of trivial matters to worry about if you don’t say anything when you feel uncomfortable.
"Taiping, let me know. Heads of each regiment will rest where they are after four miles, eat dry food and drink water to regain their strength. Then prepare to fight." Zhang Rui said to Chen Taiping, the captain of the messenger next to him.
"Yes, Sixth Brother." Chen Taiping gave Zhang Rui a military salute, and then retreated to give orders to his team members.
…
time flies
Waiting is often the most painful thing
"Why haven't the rebels come yet? It's been so long. How can this group of rebels not be marching but just crawling here?" Li Shiyao found that his Qi-nurturing skills were about to be wiped out by this torture, so he complained angrily
After receiving the troops who discovered Zhang Rui, Li Shiyao happily drove his troops to the battlefield in his heart to wait for Zhang Rui's arrival.
In his opinion, the time, place, and people were favorable, and he had already taken advantage of them all. As long as Zhang Rui comes over, it would be unreasonable for him to not win such a battle.
The more excited I am, the more anxious I am waiting.
An hour has passed since Li Shiyao rushed all his troops to the battlefield.
The fierce sun made everyone sweat profusely, especially some soldiers wearing heavy armor. They wanted to wipe it off but couldn't, and wanted to take it off but didn't dare to take it off. After all, there are no servants to help A on the battlefield.
"The general is right, what kind of marching method can that ragtag group of people have? From the looks of their deeds, we must have thought highly of them." Chen Muqing, who was next to Li Shiyao, said
"Master Chen, don't think so. You are underestimating the rebel. Based on my understanding of the rebel, he still has some skills in the army. The reason why he came so late is that there must be something that we still can't do." I don’t know.” Yang Yingju said, not agreeing with Chen Muqing’s words.
"According to what the Governor said, the villain was negligent." Chen Muqing quickly admitted his mistake to Yang Yingju.
The other party was the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi. Although he was following Li Shiyao, it didn't mean that he could afford to offend him.
"Well, it's such a hot weather here. It's inevitable for people to be irritable, and it's understandable to be upset." Yang Yingju didn't pursue Chen Muqing any further, because it was really unnecessary.
"General, waiting like this is not an option. You see, our Qing soldiers have been basking in the fierce sun for so long. If we continue to wait, I am afraid there will be no need for rebels to come back, and many of our soldiers will not be able to bear it." Seeing the master dressed as a master next to Yang Yingju, Xu Yiduo said
When Xu Yiduo heard that Yang Yingju and the others were raising food to encircle and suppress Zhang Rui, he paid a lot of money and food. At the same time, he also put forward a condition, that is, he must follow Yang Yingju in this encirclement and suppression of Zhang Rui, to see the fate of the rebel bandit who did not know whether he was alive or dead, but his body was missing.
Yang Yingju didn't understand why Xu Yiduo disliked or even hated Zhang Rui so much. In his impression, Zhang Rui had never done anything to offend Xu Yiduo.
However, Xu Yiduo, who was known as Xiao Zhuge, wanted to come to the battlefield with him, and Yang Yingju really couldn't find any reason to object. What's more, others also contributed money and food?
However, where in the army can outsiders enter whenever they want? So, Yang Yingju arranged for him to come in as his master.
"Who is this?" Li Shiyao looked at Xu Yiduo who was talking and asked Yang Yingju. After all, it is not impolite to point fingers at the troops in formation.
"This is Mr. Xu Yiduo, nicknamed Xiao Zhuge. He is currently my master." Yang Yingju replied
"Oh, it's Mr. Xu Yiduo. What you said makes sense, but there are many factors to consider in this battlefield. You need to know the truth that one hair can affect the whole body." Li Shiyao said calmly.
Li Shiyao is really not interested in Xu Yiduo, the nickname of little Zhuge. In his opinion, most of these nicknames are just blown. What other capable people can come out of Guangdong?
But Yang Yingju said he was his master, so Li Shiyao couldn't say much about him. After all, it’s up to the owner to beat a dog, and it’s his owner who just raised such a large amount of food and salary for himself. If he beat his dog, wouldn't he show that he doesn't understand the world?
Although Li Shiyao was not going to beat Yang Yingju's dog, it was still necessary to remind him of the dog. Otherwise, the dog is ignorant and will be annoying himself.
Xu Yiduo naturally heard what Li Shiyao meant, and he also had good intentions.
They were all so irritable waiting under the shade of the trees at this time, not to mention the Qing soldiers below who were wearing armor and being scorched by the sun. The suffering can be imagined.
Although Xu Yiduo had good intentions, he forgot that he was nothing here.
"The villain has learned a lesson." Xu Yiduo knelt down to Li Shiyao and lowered his head that he considered noble. A braid swung in front of her as she lowered her head, looking a little awkward.
"All this is for the people of the world, there is nothing intolerable." Xu Yiduo, who was kneeling on the ground, thought to himself.
"Well, sir, you are very polite. Get up. This marching and fighting is not as simple as what the books say. Sir, you will understand what I say if you have the chance to meet him in the future." Li Shiyao was very happy to see Xu Yiduo being so sensible, and then looked at Yang Yingju said.
Yang Yingju did not make any statement. After all, Xu Yiduo was not his real master, and he did not need to defend him.
After Xu Yiduo got up, a scout came back to report that Zhang Rui and the others were so slow because they all stopped to rest.
After hearing the news, Li Shiyao cursed Zhang Rui again. So, he had no choice but to give an order to his subordinates to take off their armor and rest. What followed was a hilarious scene and all kinds of chaos throughout the venue.
Seeing this situation, Li Shiyao didn't say much. He just asked the officers below to maintain order, and then strictly ordered the scouts to monitor the movements of Zhang Rui and his group at all times.
Time flies again
An hour passed
When the scout came back to report to Li Shiyao that Zhang Rui and his group had entered Li Shiyao, Li Shiyao gave Chen Muqing an order that everyone found strange.
"Master Chen, let the other troops prepare to leave!"
