"General, my subordinates have discovered that there is something strange about Qingfeng Village. It is impossible for these desperadoes to sit back and wait for death and retreat to the top of the mountain! You must know that their fighting power is not weak, and there are many bandits in the village!"
After Lieutenant General Ke Chenglin walked into the tent, before Shen Wenliang could ask, he expressed his opinion on the matter.
"Huh?! Military orders are like mountains, and the orders issued by the Ministry of War, as soldiers, we can directly perform our duties. Tell my brothers, the reward from the Ministry of War will be doubled this time. As for other things, don't be too curious, or you may lose your life!"
Shen Wenliang didn't even look at Ke Chenglin. His attention was focused on the material details in his hand.
The amount of supplies provided by the Ministry of War made his hands tremble and he was shocked in his heart. With so much combat material, is it possible that Lord Wang wants to attack the entire Hengzhou? !
"General, I am not questioning the military orders conveyed by Lord Liu, nor am I worried that there will be no reward for following the general. It's just that I wonder if the bandits in Qingfeng Village have other intentions. The number of these bandits is not less than ours! "
"I also feel that this matter is strange. I just suggested using fire attacks. As long as there is a mountain fire and the prairie fire is burning, no matter what conspiracy the bandits in Qingfeng Village have, it will not work."
"Yes! General, this is a good plan. These bandits are trapped on the top of the mountain and there is only one way to die. Compared with the frontal attack, this fire attack can really help us reduce unnecessary losses."
When Ke Chenglin heard that Shen Wenliang wanted to use fire attacks to capture Qingfeng Village, he almost jumped up with joy.
Compared with the hand-to-hand combat with a group of vicious bandits, the task of setting fire seemed particularly easy. While you don't have to worry about attrition in battle, you can also get military merit. Who doesn't want to attack with fire?
As for the devastation and all kinds of sins caused after the fire attack, only those shameless people like Zhuge Pifu can talk about it.
"That's not bad! They don't adopt the fire attack strategy at all! They also say that the fire attack strategy is uncontrollable. They are worried that if the wind direction changes, the thieves will take advantage of the chaos and escape!"
"Well! It is indeed a good idea to follow the wind direction to break out, but the fire is burning the mountain. The temperature and smoke on the ground should be unbearable for ordinary people, right?! Is it possible that there is some special person in Qingfeng Village?! "
Ke Chenglin was very curious. Judging from Shen Wenliang's words, could it be that the massive attack on Qingfeng Village was not the result of the Ministry of War's messenger being killed and the letters being robbed, but that it had another motive? !
"I am just a mounted captain who was conferred by the emperor himself. I am not a special person. Compared to you people who dare to kill even the royal guards sent by the emperor to protect me, I am really nothing. !”
At some point, a handsome young man appeared quietly outside the tent.
This sudden sound made the two generals in the big tent who were discussing the next plan feel as if they were facing an enemy. They drew their swords and confronted the handsome young man.
"Come on! Catch the assassin!"
"It's better to save your energy and stop shouting! You guys, no matter how hard you come, can't stop me! Feng Li's army can only bow its head in front of me. Do you think you are stronger than Feng Li?! "
The young man opened the curtain, and a terrifying pressure spread out, which immediately made the temperature in the tent drop a lot!
Shen Wenliang and Ke Chenglin's sword-holding hands couldn't help but tremble. Just as the young man stepped into the tent, a few leaves flew in with the wind and slammed into the hilt of the sword. The strong internal force caused their jaws to crack, and even the swords they wore were broken. I can't even hold the sword.
"Who are you, who dare to break into the military camp without permission? Do you really think that our soldiers of the Tang Dynasty are all stupid and let you come and go as you please in the military camp?!"
After Shen Wenliang and Ke Chenglin made eye contact, they endured the pain and fought back. They knew that their martial arts skills were not as good as those of the teenager. But as soldiers of the Tang Dynasty, they cannot die cowardly!
Seeing two long swords coming at him, the young man did not panic at all and walked to the desk leisurely. He wanted to see the content of the letter for himself. What was the reason? Even the royal guards would be attacked by nearby troops!
Judging from the speed of reaction of these two idiots, their martial arts skills are not even as good as Wang Hao, but they dare to draw swords at each other even if they disagree.
"Ah~!"
At the same time, two screams were heard, and Shen Wenliang and Ke Chenglin were blown away by a flick of the sleeves raised by the young man! The impact of the two people landing on the ground crushed the weapon rack!
"Are you deaf? I am the captain of the Mounted Cavalry who was personally conferred by His Majesty. You killed them without explanation before. The emperor sent me guards from the palace to protect me!"
After knocking down the two people in the main room who couldn't chat, the young man sat down at the main seat. He fiddled with it for a while, took out a waist card and threw it to them, and then he studied the letters on the desk seriously.
"This is the legendary eldest son of the Yang family in Dai County?! The marquis who received two imperial edicts of promotion and promotion in one day?! Then weren't the people we killed in the morning all royal guards?!"
Shen Wenliang looked at the token in his hand with tears in his eyes. The young man in front of him was the real Captain Yang Ming!
"Master Marquis, I think there must be some misunderstanding here. We are just garrison troops stationed in the Hengzhou area. Before receiving the order from the Ministry of War to encircle and suppress Qingfeng Village, we had no conflict of interest with you...
As for those people we killed during our attack on Qingfeng Village in the morning, they were probably not royal guards. Considering the temper of the military masters in Chang'an City, who is willing to suffer a loss? None of the brothers who defended in the morning resisted! "
After Ke Chenglin helped Shen Wenliang, who was in a daze, he patted the dirt on his body, then turned to Yang Ming on the desk and said respectfully.
Other things are not big. Even if he offends Yang Ming, it is just physical repayment at most, which is not a big deal. On the other hand, if he disobeys the orders from the Ministry of War brought by Liu Qihu, he will be dismissed from his post and investigated at most, without losing his life.
But if the royal guards are killed, things will not be simple!
These royal guards do not have high responsibilities, their martial arts skills are mediocre, and their abilities are not strong, but their status is extraordinary. They represent the royal family. If something unexpected happened and one or two people were accidentally killed by Shen Wenliang's men, the minimum punishment would be confiscation of their homes and exile!
"Haha! Is it possible that those who were killed were not the royal guards, so you have nothing to fear? Are the people in my Marquis' Mansion whom you can kill at will? Who gave you the courage to attack the founding county son who was personally consecrated by the emperor?"
Yang Ming was not angry but was so frightened that the two people who had just stood up were so scared that they knelt on the ground and trembled!
what to do? ! what to do? !
The two people on the ground kept communicating through their eyes. They seemed to have stung a hornet's nest this time! If Yang Ming didn't give an explanation, it would be legal and compliant for Yang Ming to kill them in the tent at this time.
etc!
Did Liu Qihu already know that Yang Ming was in Qingfeng Village? !
Did they have someone use them as a gun? !
