Riding camp.
Li He ran all the way and met Yan Cheng here.
Inform everything about what happened outside the Mangshan Salt Factory.
"His Royal Highness said that this matter is unusual. He hopes that the general will quickly lead the troops to help to avoid something unpredictable happening."
Hearing this, Yan Cheng laughed strangely: "Exchanging brine ore for food was the idea proposed by the Sixth Prince."
"Since he invited the people, there are just more people now. What is he afraid of?"
"If there are too many people and they ask me to move the camp, then do we still need to train the cavalry camp? We might as well just listen to him."
Li He took half a step back, cupped his hands and said, "The general's words are certainly reasonable, but if Mangshan makes mistakes, the general will be responsible."
Yan Cheng's eyes narrowed: "What do you mean?"
"Your Highness anticipated the enemy, but the general did not move. If something changes tonight, doesn't the general need to bear the responsibility?" Li He said.
"Bastard!" Yan Cheng was furious: "How dare you, a ninth-grade official, to threaten this general?!"
"I don't dare. I'm just following orders." Li He shook his head: "Since the general doesn't agree, I don't dare to say anything, so I'll just go and reply to the letter."
After that, he said goodbye and left.
Watching the other party leave, Yan Cheng's eyes were cold.
"Come here." He waved to a general: "Arrange a few people and kill him on the way."
The family general was worried: "After all, he is an official of Da Sinong Mansion. If the court tracks him down..."
"Pursuing is nonsense!" Yan Cheng snorted coldly: "The bandits from Hedong invaded, and even the prince could not be protected. What does it mean to die as a ninth-grade petty official?"
"Remember, do it cleanly!"
"yes!"
However, when people chased him along the main road, Li He turned from the main road into the small road and ran towards Luo Jing City.
The general was still experienced. He sent people to investigate separately and reported back to Yan Cheng.
Soon, a team of five discovered Li He.
"Li Lingcheng!" the commander shouted: "The general has something to do, please go back and discuss it."
Li He didn't answer and just ran away.
Seeing this, Wu Changming bent his bow left and right.
The ranger took action and knocked down the arrow.
He took out his bow and fired back, shooting down two sergeants.
The captain was frightened and went back to report to Yan Cheng.
"waste!"
Yan Cheng slapped him in the face and said angrily: "This sixth prince is really treacherous. Why don't you keep this person to prepare a counter-suit against me in court?"
"But so what? As long as he dies, how can a small ninth-grade official want to frame a warrior with great military exploits?"
"Huh, what a fool's dream!"
He looked at the team leader in front of him with a gloomy look: "Where are the two people working with you?"
"It's all outside the account."
"Call in."
"yes."
After a while, the two of them also entered.
"This is too bad. Kneel down!"
The three of them did not dare to disobey and could only lie on the ground.
Keng!
Suddenly, they heard the sound of a knife.
Everyone is shocked!
Before he could raise his head, he felt a sharp pain and fell into boundless darkness.
Yan Cheng wiped off the blood on his face and told his cronies: "We were attacked by Hedong thieves at night and five sergeants lost their lives. Go and arrange for compensation."
"Yes!" The confidant responded quickly.
As soon as the confidant left the tent, someone ran in: "General, there is a sound of war coming from Mang Mountain."
Yan Cheng looked hard: "Did you hear that?"
The man was stunned: "You can't hear it here. I heard it when I went to patrol the north."
"Really?" Yan Cheng waved: "Come here."
"yes……"
puff!
There was another body on the ground.
Yan Cheng shouted outside: "Six are dead!"
"Yes!" The confidant who had not gone far responded.
Li He rushed back to the city.
Now, it's late at night.
He, a petty official, is not qualified to enter the palace.
He went to find Lu Huang, the chief minister, but learned that this model worker was still working overtime to deal with Zhou Che's military resource allocation problem - in the palace arsenal.
He had no choice but to visit Huangfu Yun at Zhou Che's residence and tell him everything.
"You said that the bandits from Hedong attacked Mangshan, and the cavalry camp deliberately stationed troops in Nanshan without moving?!"
Huangfu Yun's beauty turned pale and she lifted up Li He's collar.
Li He was a pure scholar. His face immediately turned red, and he nodded and said, "Yes... Miss Huangfu, can you let go of me first?"
"I was impulsive, please forgive me!"
Huangfu Yun apologized hastily, got on a horse and ran out of the house.
Soon, she came to the residence of Huangfu's family in Luojing.
She has not been here in the past few years since she was removed from the family tree.
She walked to the door and kicked it in!
boom--
Soon, Huangfu Longting appeared with Huangfu Chaoyi.
"Xiao Yun?" Huangfu Longting looked surprised: "Why are you kicking in the door in the middle of the night?"
"Brother, help me save Archer!" Huangfu Yun told what happened in Mang Mountain.
Huangfu Chaoyi snorted coldly: "If you call him crazy, will you suffer a loss?"
Snapped!
As soon as he finished speaking, Huangfu Yun slapped him in the face.
There was murderous intent in his beautiful eyes: "If you dare to gloat again, I will shave you alive!"
Although Huangfu Chaoyi was good at martial arts, he was beaten by his aunt, so he could only admit that he was unlucky.
Also, the murderous look in Huangfu Yun's eyes really frightened him.
Huangfu Longting frowned and said: "The river guarding cavalry camp was set up in recent years to target the bandits from the east of the river. Among them, there are very few former officials of the Huangfu family."
"With only one captain, it may not be able to help much."
In the cavalry camp, there were 2,000 regular mounted soldiers, 2,000 war horses, 3,000 slave horses, and more than 4,000 auxiliary soldiers, grooms, and logistics personnel.
It is divided into three schools, and the three school captains are under the unified command of Yan Cheng.
"If we can persuade the captain to send troops, we can save Archer!" Huangfu Yun said.
Huangfu Longting's frown deepened: "My agreement with him is that he will establish an heir first...unless you promise me something."
"you say!"
"Whether this matter succeeds or not, you must follow me back to Liangzhou!"
Huangfu Yun was startled.
She knew Zhou Che couldn't afford to delay.
Quickly, he nodded: "Okay! I promise you!"
Huangfu Longting frowned: "Let's go!"
Mang Mountain.
When the rebels fired back, Zhen Wu smartly led his men to retreat quickly.
There are horses in the unit, and all members are wearing armor.
In addition, the reaction was timely, so the casualties were very small, and the enemy quickly exited the range of the arrow.
Although Zhen Wu retreated, the enemy troops began to press forward and launched a large-scale attack.
Nearly three thousand people were all selected from the bandit army and were good at fighting.
They quickly advanced to the foot of Mang Mountain and started climbing!
In Zhou Che's hands, the force is really limited:
The most capable ones are the expert rangers sent by Zhen and the hundred-man bodyguards brought by Zhen Wu.
These are professional warriors who dare to fight and are the strongest.
Secondly, there were two hundred strong and armored men selected from the crowd.
This group of people is composed of veterans, rangers, hunters, and prisoners who have been released from prison and are looking for a way to survive.
With the blessing of armor, he can barely fight with the people below.
The comparison of pure force is ten to one.
The remaining thousands of people are all coolies and civilians-all honest people in the most conscientious manner.
These people can press pigs during the Chinese New Year.
They were asked to kill people - unless Zhou Che defaulted on their wages and forced them to become desperate.
It is almost impossible for them to muster the courage to fight against a group of murderous thieves.
Zhen Wudao: "Your Highness, we have war horses that can take you to break out of the encirclement in the direction of Luojing."
"No! You will definitely lose if you do that!" Zhou Che waved his hand and rejected it directly.
"There are ten times the number of thieves. Mang Mountain is not too steep. We have too few people available. Do we still have a chance of winning?" Zhen Wu was a little anxious.
Zhou Che's eyes flashed slightly: "Didn't you always say you wanted to kill people? Why are you afraid of death when you are in battle?"
"I'm not afraid of death!"
When Zhou Che said this, he became even more anxious and said, "I'm just afraid that something will happen to you!"
"If nothing happens to me, we won't lose!"
Zhou Che pulled out his sword and pointed downwards: "Although there are many enemies, they climb the mountain on foot. If you are brave, you can lead the charge."
"As long as you push back the enemy for a while and buy me a moment, you can turn defeat into victory!"
