I made Daqin a prosperous world

Chapter 105

After crossing the river, Li Yu went straight to Changsha County with five hundred soldiers.

Because it is from top to bottom along the Xiangshui River, it is easy to find the way, and it is to see if you can meet the navy of the empire.

However, Li Yu went all the way to the south until he reached the surrounding area of ​​Dongting Lake. Except for the small fishing villages and small villages along the coast, and occasionally some people went out to make a living, there were no Daqin boats passing by.

It shouldn't be!
Even though the southern front is full of wars, the water route should not be so deserted, or dead silent.

Facing such a strange situation, Li Yu's expression changed, and he thought: Maybe there are rebels around here...

The more he thought about it, the more lingering was the premonition in Li Yu's heart.

Coincidentally, Zhao Chong also felt that something was wrong with the surrounding environment, so he said, "Master Hou, the surrounding area of ​​Dongting Lake is too quiet, maybe some rebels have touched the area?"

Zhao Chonghua had just finished speaking when the sound of horseshoes vibrating was getting closer.

"someone is coming?"

At this moment, Li Yu's sacred fire horse suddenly became agitated, and he couldn't help snorting.

Li Yu's expression suddenly changed, and he said quickly: "I don't know if it's an enemy or a friend, go into the village and hide your whereabouts, hurry up."

Although he was not very convinced of the immortal Junhou who was about the same age as himself, Zhao Zhong naturally did not dare to be careless in the battlefield.

Seeing Zhao Zhong waving his hand, five hundred guards rushed into the village, and each of them found some shelters to block their tracks.

Li Yu took the time to glance at the guards who were hiding, and couldn't help feeling a little nervous.

After all, the 500 people in front of them haven't been on the battlefield for a long time, and some of them haven't even seen blood.

And listening to the movement just now, there are at least two to three thousand people...

When the sound of horseshoes was getting closer, Zhao Yun, who had been taciturn all this time, suddenly said in a low voice: "Master Hou, the horseshoe marks outside are not hidden..."

Li Yu blushed when he heard the words, and was a little embarrassed at once, so he smiled and said: "It's okay, let Qin Yi and the others string the crossbow, and make plans after seeing if the person who comes here knows him."

Before the words were finished, a crowd of people in the distance stopped at the position where Li Yu and the others were just now.

"General, I just heard some movement here, why is it gone now..."

The thick-faced man held the horse's mane with one hand, and pulled the rope with the other, wondering.

The man called the general was also a little rough, as if he had experienced a big battle, with disheveled hair and slightly damaged armor.

I saw that the general spat and didn't speak, but looked around.

Seeing that his general didn't speak, the cheeky man was a little surprised, and couldn't help cursing: "Grandma, what a leg, if it wasn't for being too careless two days ago and being dispersed by Zhang Han, why should we hunt wild food around Dongting Lake. "

Another lieutenant general's face changed slightly when he heard the words, he glanced at the general, and then said: "Old Pan, what are you talking about, victory or defeat is a common matter in military affairs, besides, who knew that Changsha County would suddenly rush out so A few iron bumps."

"It's true... If it weren't for this, Changsha County might already be in our pocket."

The lieutenant general sighed inwardly, and I was about to say something, but my general suddenly raised his head and said with a stern expression: "There are a lot of horseshoe marks here, be careful."

As soon as the general finished speaking, a trace of pride flashed across Lao Pan's face, and he grinned and said, "Let me just say, my scouts are not just for nothing. I said that a small group of troops from the Empire crossed the river today and are heading towards us. Coming in this direction, right?"

The general and the deputy general did not refute when they heard the words. After all, the three of them have worked together for so many years and know the basics.

After being reminded by the general, Lao Pan looked around and said with a sneer, "Hey, it seems that this team does not exceed 1000 people, and... it hasn't gone far."

"General, I beg you, just give me 1000 troops, and I will definitely eat up this team crossing the river."

"Panda, don't be rash, listen to what the general has to say first."

Seeing that Panda was about to lead the charge again, Mao Feng, who was also the lieutenant general, hurriedly stopped him.

Hearing this, Panda was a little dissatisfied and said, "Mao Feng, are you afraid that I will take the credit?"

Mao Feng was calm and thought much more than Panda. He shook his head and said helplessly, "Giving credit? It's not the Tuyue people who killed the Xiongnu. What kind of credit is that?"

As soon as these words came out, Panda's old face froze, he was choked and speechless.

The man who looked like a general frowned when he saw the two quarreling, and scolded: "Okay, there are quarrels in this world, why don't you find a way to join Qubu."

"The general said..."

The name of this general is Peng Xi, and he was originally one of the generals under the former Nanhai County Wei Renxiao.

But because the deputy general Zhao Tuo seized the commander's seal and launched a rebellion, and suppressed and killed several disobedient generals, he followed the trend.

As a soldier of Great Qin, Peng Xi never thought that one day, he would confront his own army with swords and halberds on the battlefield.

No one wants to do this, but it has to be...

You must know that it has been several years since the first conquest of Baiyue.

Now some high-level officials of the Lingnan Army have spread their branches and leaves in the South China Sea and have blood relatives.

It is also because of this that Zhao Tuo threatened many generals and had to obey him.

Now seeing his former comrades-in-arms and subordinates stepping into the abyss step by step with him, Peng Xi hesitated, and sighed: "It is born from the same root, why bother?"

Peng Xi's hesitant expression showed that he had passed by more than once.

But Panda thinks that a soldier must perform his duty, so he hesitates, and the appearance of a mother-in-law should not appear in a soldier.

Seeing Peng Xi's hesitation now, he asked anxiously, "General, do you want to fight or not?"

Peng Xi's face twitched when he heard this, he wished he could chop Panda with a knife immediately.

It was rare for Peng Xi to express his wishes so clearly in a polite manner, and the result was confusing.

Looking at Panda's old face, Peng Xi couldn't help cursing: Grandma, you idiot, is there something wrong with your brain...

But Mingli couldn't say that, because among the soldiers under him, there might be Zhao Tuo's men watching everything.

Therefore, Peng Xi could only focus on the present moment, and said, "Have you ever thought about why this imperial team from the empire is willing to take the risk of crossing Henan instead of going by water?"

Panda didn't want to use his brain to guess why people didn't take the waterway.

However, the deputy general Mao Feng heard the words, his heart moved, and he said: "General, you are too worried. Except for the guards of the imperial capital, Daqin can't mobilize any troops to go to Lingnan. Such a team of less than a thousand people, I am afraid it is the Nanjun County Guards. Come scout."

"Since that's the case, Panda, Mao Feng, you two will each bring a thousand riders to search west and north from here. I will bring 1000 people to search around Dongting Lake."

Panda and Mao Feng won the general, they glanced at each other, clasped their fists and replied: "The last general, Panda and Mao Feng, have orders."

Seeing that the two led the team to leave separately, Peng Xi's expression changed and he looked towards the village a mile away to the east.
