A Complete Explanation of the Negative Textbooks of the Imperial Examination

Chapter 81: Sneak Attack

Only a few people stood at the gate of the city, sending Xiao Jingduo and his party out of the city with complicated eyes.

Xiao Jingduo’s actions are confidential. In order to prevent enemy spies, the county government will not announce Xiao Jingduo’s whereabouts. But with so many people in the city, there will always be someone who finds that Xiao Jingduo is gone. According to Xiao Jingduo’s words, when they can’t hold back, it’s fine to acquiesce, but before the war starts, they are not allowed to leave at all.

I didn’t see anyone coming, and Xiao Jingduo couldn’t tell which country was sending troops this time. There are many small countries along the Erhai Sea, among which the Yuexi Zhao, Langqiong Zhao, Mengsi Zhao, Bong Zhao, Shi Lang Zhao and Mengshe Zhao are the strongest and are called Liu Zhao. Except for the Mengshe Zhao, the other five Zhaos were sandwiched between Tubo and Daxuan, and they tended to Tubo for a while and then returned to Daxuan. The rest of the five imperial decrees acted as a wall between the Tubo and Xuan dynasty, and finally annoyed the Xuan dynasty. When the first emperor was on the throne, the Xuan dynasty sent troops to support Mengshe Zhao, solved the other five countries one by one, and supported Mengshe Zhao to become the overlord of Erhai Lake. For this reason, Mengshe Zhao was more submissive to the Xuan Dynasty, and the relationship on the southwest border gradually eased. Because Mengshe Zhao is located in the south of the other five Zhaos, it is called Nanzhao, and it is the only government recognized by the Xuan Dynasty, which is the origin of Nanzhao.

Although Nanzhao is nominally attached to the Xuan Dynasty, the border friction between the two countries has never stopped. Nanzhao’s own lawsuit was also not clear. Although Nanzhao unified Erhai Lake with the support of Xuan Dynasty, it was only nominally unified. In fact, that place was not under the jurisdiction of Nanzhao. The Nanzhao royal family is not as strong as the Central Plains. It turned out that there were still many remnants left on the site of Wuzhao. These people did not obey Nanzhao’s discipline, and they did not understand the bullying Xuan Dynasty. Let these people make trouble, as long as they don’t cause major problems, they will pretend not to know.

He put the blame on the Wuzhao tribe. If it happened, then the Nanzhao Dynasty would send troops to pacify the chaos, put the stolen property into his own pocket, and also buy a good boy from the Xuan Dynasty, so why not do it.

Nanzhao provokes the authority of Xuan Dynasty like this, obviously the emperor will not let them please, but before the imperial court sends troops to teach Nanzhao, Xiao Jingduo has to solve the urgent siege at his door.

Compared with letting others take revenge for him, Xiao Jingduo prefers to smash the opponent’s plan from the beginning, so that they have no revenge.

Xiao Jingduo and the others walked at night for the whole night.

Finally, under the groping of many spies, Xiao Jingduo finally found the place where the opposing army was stationed.

In order not to frighten the snake, there are only a few people around Xiao Jingduo. Xiao Lin also came out with Xiao Jingduo, and was on guard at this moment. They were so close to the garrison, it would be broken if they were discovered.

“Where are they from?” Xiao Jingduo asked in a low voice.

One person recognized for a long time before whispering: “It looks like the original Shi Langzhao.”

“Shi Langzhao…” Xiao Jingduo was not at all surprised by this result. Shi Langzhao and the Xuan Dynasty were at odds for a long time. Although the Xuan Dynasty supported Nanzhao to destroy Shi Langzhao’s capital, his predecessor Shi Langzhao King also died under the sword, but Shi Langzhao’s son escaped, and is also known as King in the northeast of Liuzhao. Under the hatred of the country and the family, if Shi Langzhao launched a sneak attack this time, it would not be unexpected.

“No wonder Shi Langzhao’s caravans have not come over these few days, so they have already planned!” One person whispered angrily, “There are caravans from other countries in the county, so they Aren’t you afraid of getting hurt?”

Said, “Get things ready, we’re going to get started.”

The sun gradually rose, and Shi Langzhao’s army moved forward slowly.

Besides Luo Qianqi on his horse, he walked through the woods with impatience. He is an aristocrat of Shi Langzhao, and he is usually highly sought after by the tribe, and he is quite pretentious in his heart. This time he brought people to loot Jinjiang County. Although he was told by his father for a long time, he was somewhat indifferent. Before leaving, his father and the monarch warned him to be cautious, to fight quickly, and to bring things back before the Xuan Chao army could react. Anyway, they had the support of Tubo, and the Xuan Chao Emperor did not dare to do anything with them. Shame of the king. Pang Luoqian set off with 4,000 people, not for that little-known town, but to guard against Xuan Chao’s pursuit. After all, in Pang Luoqian’s view, robbing and killing such a small town would not have to dispatch the army, he brought It is enough to have a dozen or so warriors out on the horse.

And now, Pang Luoqian can’t run wildly, and has to take a large army to carefully detour through the mountain road, which is really embarrassing. Pang Luo Qian wished that he would fly down to the outside of Jinjiang City now, so that he could start killing and move his muscles and bones.

The leader is impatient, and the people below have been walking around for several days, and they have long been tired. The captain of a small team panicked. He left the team to go to the convenience, but saw a caravan approaching in the opposite woods. The caravan’s mules were carrying a large step bag, the bag was not fastened, and a splendid horse came from It slumped out inside.

The squad leader’s eyes were fixed on the splendid horse and the cloth bag that looked very heavy on the horse’s back. It seemed that the caravan had just returned from Jinjiang County, and had changed to a cloth bag of Jinxiu, and they had taken a different road.

Looking at the unconscious caravan not far away, and then looking back at the large troop that was nowhere to be seen, the squad leader was wicked and narrowed his eyes with a smile.

He turned around, called a few confidants secretly, and said, “Don’t make a sound, quietly leave the team, I’ll show you guys a vote first and warm up.”

No matter how arrogant the sub-leader is, he will not challenge a caravan alone. He brought a few men and quietly followed the caravan, planning to wait until he got out of the range of the troops before starting.

The person couldn’t hear it, so he excitedly waved his hand to signal the person below to rush up.

However, the squad leader waved his hand several times, but no one else moved. The squad leader was very strange. He was about to turn his head to see what was going on, when a hand stretched out from behind the tree and slammed a wet handkerchief over his mouth.

The man who was clutching the squad leader released his hand, turned around and asked a man in black, “Magistrate, what should I do now?”

The sub-captain sneaked along with the “caravan” all the way, and the men behind him were also stunned and dragged away one after another. By now, there are nine people **** in the woods, including the sub-captain, just right round up.

Xiao Jingduo glanced at Shi Lang, who was lying on the ground, and said with some disgust: “I didn’t follow the military regulations so far. Quietly dragged away and interrogated in a no-man’s land.”

“Yes.”

When this unruly squad leader opened his eyes, he saw a group of Han people surrounding him, and he could not wait to faint again. It’s a pity that Xiao Jingduo won’t let him waste time. It didn’t take long for Xiao Jingduo to pry out the exact location of Luo Qian’s camp tonight.

“You know what is the use of camping sites? You only have these poor few people, and there are four thousand generals. Even if you know it, what can you do? Hahaha… “The squad leader scoffed.

Being captured and being so arrogant, the hands of the few people standing were a little itchy. Xiao Jingduo glanced at the squad leader and said lightly, “Stun him.”

The other people immediately started, and the goods were not pleasing to the eye for a long time. With Xiao Jingduo speaking, no one was polite to this idiot.

After the prisoners fell into a coma again, the soldiers came to ask Xiao Jingduo’s opinion: “County magistrate, what about these people?”

, not a single one.”

There was a faint sound of a sword piercing the flesh behind him, Xiao Jingduo walked forward as if he had not heard it, Xiao Lin caught up from behind and asked, “Lang Jun, although this team leader is stupid, he It’s not unreasonable. We are only three hundred people, but the other party has four thousand people, what should we do?”

“Xiao Lin, do you know why there is no room for manoeuvre after revealing military intelligence?”

& nbsp; arrived before.”

Xiao Jingduo sent people to pretend to be a caravan to lure the enemy deep, naturally he couldn’t bring too many people, so there were only twenty people around him, and the rest were lurking and waiting in another place. Now receiving Xiao Jingduo’s order, all three hundred people took the fastest footsteps, quickly and covertly bypassed Luo Qian’s troops, and went all out to catch up with Luo Qian.

Shi Langzhao also sent spies before dispatching troops. It can be seen that he attaches great importance to this sneak attack, and even the location of the daily camp has been selected.

It can be seen that they have carefully selected the camp. This piece of flat land is between two mountains.

Someone squatted down and tried the lake water, then stood up and asked: “Tonight, these tortoises will definitely camp by the water, county magistrate, or we will poison the water, we will not know the ghost. Put them on them unconsciously, and then we take the opportunity…” He made a killing gesture.

Everyone knows that Xiao Jingduo is proficient in medical skills. Now there are lakes and water here, many people think of this, Xiao Jingduo people are here, why hesitate, just poison them!

And after the poison, what about the surrounding land?”

“It’s a matter of priorities, let’s deal with these shameless people who attacked first, and then we’ll take care of this place slowly in the future!”

“According to what you said, the amount that can poison people will certainly poison the fish and shrimp, and then the fish and shrimp will float up, isn’t it plain enough to cause suspicion?”

The proposer paused and said tentatively, “How about we scoop up the fish and shrimp?”

After saying this, the person who came up with the idea didn’t dare to look at Xiao Jingduo’s face, and he also realized how absurd this method was.

Poisoning will not work all the way, and the others have lost their minds and look at Xiao Jingduo with a sad face: “The county magistrate, since it is impossible to poison the water source, what should we do?”

Bangluoqian army is only three days away from Jinjiang County. If it can’t succeed tonight, the army will get closer to Jinjiang County tomorrow, and the chance to do it will basically be gone. If they can’t take advantage of these few days to delay the footsteps of Luo Qian’s army, then their trip will be in vain.

Xiao Jingduo took two steps around the lake. He stared at the sparkling lake and suddenly asked, “How about your hunting skills?”

“What?” The rest of the people almost thought they had heard it wrong, since when did Xiao Jingduo still think about hunting?

Pang Luoqian walked with 4,000 people for a day, and finally arrived at the garrison place before sunset. After walking for a day, the whole army was a little tired and covered with sweat. At this time, when they saw a clear lake, many people showed joy.

Pang Luoqian was also feeling uncomfortable, but he still remembered the military rules, so he reprimanded loudly: “Set up camp on the spot, don’t leave the team without authorization, and don’t take a bath in the lake. Repair tonight and march with all your strength tomorrow. , make no mistake!”

In the marching plan, they had to sneak across the border first, and when they were out of sight of the border guards, they would go all out in the mountains and forests. After nightfall, the raid could proceed as planned.

Therefore, tonight is extremely important, not only to keep the spirit of the whole army, but also to stabilize the morale, even if Luo Qian does not take this attack to heart, at this time he dare not be sloppy, and repeatedly reprimand his subordinates .

However, the lake is right in front of you, so it is obviously difficult for everyone to hold back. A deer!”

On the other side of the lake, a deer was drinking water with its head down. When it heard the sound, it raised its head vigilantly, and immediately jumped back when it noticed the figure.

However, Shi Lang ordered the people to let it escape like this, the game was in sight, and many people ignored the military order and immediately ran to catch the deer. Even if the deer is agile, it can’t escape the roundup of many sergeants, and is caught in a short while.

With this group of people at the head, the others also thought about it and sneaked into the woods to hunt game. I have to say that there is a lot of game near the water source. After a while, many soldiers came back with hares and roe deer.

Although Pang Luoqian was displeased with his subordinates violating the military order, but the people regard food as their priority, and meat is the first, how could the army who had been sleeping in the wind and the wind for a long time hold back? I went out to hunt game and came back.

According to the plan, we have to eat dry food tonight, and no fire is allowed, so as not to disturb the enemy. But there are plenty of prey around here, and some impatient people have already built a fire and want to eat a hot meal. The greedy worm in Luo Qian’s stomach was about to move, and when he saw this scene, he didn’t care much.

After Luo Qian acquiesced, the lieutenants and soldiers took a reassurance and set up pot racks one after another. Down the pot.

But when soldiers in the army are in a hurry, they eat rotten meat, so how can they pay attention to this, and throw a few handfuls of wild vegetables in the pot to death, even if the smell is eliminated.

The ten sergeants are all sitting around the iron pot to fish for meat. It is very rare to be able to eat hot food and drink hot soup during the march, let alone soup There is still meat in it, and there are several kinds of wild vegetables floating on the water for seasoning. Everyone ate with contented faces. They were reminiscing about the long-lost meat smell. Suddenly, one of the team leaned over while covering his stomach: “Strange, why does my stomach hurt?”

Beginning with the first person, more and more people feel stomach pain, especially the same group of people, one person hurts the whole group. Everyone was in shock, and they didn’t know who shouted: “Someone poisoned the lake water, and everyone who drank the lake water has already been poisoned!”

These words aroused great panic all of a sudden. The army was stationed by the water. Whether drinking water, feeding horses or cooking, they had to draw water from the lake. Everyone in the army drank the water here. If someone took the opportunity to poison the water, wouldn’t the entire army be recruited?

The army immediately panicked. Under the influence of psychological pressure, many people who were otherwise fine also felt stomach pains, as if they had been poisoned.

Pang Luoqian felt wrong when someone said that he had a stomachache. Although he had some discomfort in his stomach, it was still tolerable and he did not lose the ability to move. Seeing the commotion in the army, Pang Luo Qian realized that he had been tricked, and quickly stood up, wanting to say something to restrain the heart of the army.

However, the other party did not give Luo Qian a chance to speak. As soon as he opened his mouth, there was a rustling voice in the woods, and then the thick fog filled the air, to the point where he could not see his fingers. How could this fog look evil, not to mention that it continued to spread among the crowd, the soldiers panicked, the fear of poisoning coupled with the fear of the dense fog, many people immediately threw their luggage and ran back after a step. go.

“Run, there is a lake monster here, the lake monster is going to come out to eat people!”

I don’t know who saw the lake demon, but there is no doubt that once someone starts, the rest will immediately disperse into a handful of sand and rush to run outside. Pang Luo Qian shouted angrily, but was unable to stop the terrified soldiers.

At the same time, arrows were fired in the woods.

The only one who answered him was a cold arrow glowing with cold light. Pang Luo Qian was forced to retreat again and again, and under the cover of Bai Wu, he couldn’t even see where the opponent fired the arrow from.

“Who’s where? Come out for me!” Pang Luo Qian was impatient and wanted to rush in that direction.
