Spring and Autumn I Am King

After the night attack failed, Rogue Zhi and 4,000 men retreated to the south more than ten miles away overnight, widening the distance from the pursuers. (Baidu searched for the fastest and most stable update on Gieli Literature Network.) Counting the number of people, I found that there were three or four hundred people missing, of which two hundred were killed and injured by the enemy in the melee and pursuit, and the rest were separated at night.

He felt that it was not safe to come here, and moved another ten miles to the west, then stopped and called a public meeting with his cronies.

Faced with this unfavorable situation at the beginning of the battle, Roof Zhi's cronies were divided into two groups. Some murderers who were not afraid of death thought that they should gather all their forces and fight Zhao Wuxi tomorrow. After the victory, they headed south again, and their priority was to capture the city of Kan. First, because they were a little embarrassed by the loss last night, and wanted to avenge the dead. Second, as long as Zhao Wuxi was defeated, the country of Lu would probably have no soldiers in the short term. If they have no courage to come to help, they will be able to break down temples and dig mausoleums, and countless treasures can be divided up.

The other faction believes that once the decisive battle with Zhao Wuxi is lost again, and Kancheng has not yet been conquered, it may be attacked from the front and back.

The two groups of people were arguing endlessly. Seeing that the night was coming to an end, Robber Zhi couldn't listen any more and started to stand up to make decisions.

"Everyone's revenge naturally has to be avenged, but not today, this battle is impossible to fight, we must evacuate earlier." Roof Zhi said to several cronies.

He robbery roamed Dayozawa for nearly ten years, and he went from a light chivalrous man with nothing to a robber with over 10,000 households and 9,000 soldiers. Naturally, he had a set of skills.

In the past, whether it was going out to loot or fighting with soldiers from all over the country, in any battle, the robbers would follow the principle of "strike their quietness and avoid their strong tranquility; attack their fatigue and avoid their idleness; attack their great fears and avoid their small ones. These are the basic rules for governing the army and fighting since ancient times.

But this time, the opponents were different from the eunuchs who couldn't help but fight in the past. They were the kind of strong army that needed to be avoided.

"The Art of War, the so-called strong army means that when the army is stationed, it is strictly prepared, the ranks are neat when the army is marching, and the progress and stop are controlled when fighting. These Zhao Wuxi's troops can do it. the enemy."

Several of the robbers were very unwilling: "General, you have been busy for a month. Zhu Lou's entire army was destroyed, and our trilogy also suffered a lot of losses. Seeing that Kancheng is about to fall, it is a pity to give up like this!"

"Two or three sons, listen to me!"

The crowd suddenly quieted down, waiting for Thief Zhi to speak.

Robber Zhi said calmly: "There are all kinds of industries in the world. Every industry has its own rules and principles, and that is the 'Tao'. Is there a Tao? This is the bravery of thieves; the fair distribution after the event is the benevolence of thieves... We have looted Yuncheng this time, broken the Central Capital, and attacked the city of Kan, so that all Lu was shocked. It's enough to make a name in the world. And I was in front of me when I was fighting, and my property was divided equally. No one has ever complained about injustice."

"But it's not enough to do these two points. You also need to be able to observe the current situation, weigh the pros and cons, and judge whether or not to take action. This is the wisdom of the thief. This is the current situation, although the decisive victory with Zhao Wuxi is divided into five and five. , but no matter whether we win or lose, the loss is bound to be heavy, and those who are sitting today may lose more than half of it. We are just seeking money for the thieves, and we cannot steal here. You can change it. If you do it by force, that is Not wise!"

After a few words, the robbers were persuaded by him. All agreed to temporarily evacuate.

"Zhao Wuxi has made great achievements in the past year, and it must not be underestimated. This time our army retreats to the west and needs to be extremely cautious. His generation won a small victory last night, and his morale must be high. Because he is not familiar with the road conditions at night, he did not fully The army pursued. He just sent people to spy on the tail. But once the sky is bright, he will definitely change his prudence these days, and turn to abandon the baggage and suddenly pursue, hoping to defeat us!"

The group of thieves turned pale in shock: "What should I do then?"

"I have my own way. We must move quickly. The 4,000 people here will evacuate first, cross the river and fortify on the edge of the South Lake. I will pick up the 2,000 people who are still under the city of Kan, and then go around the city west to meet. In order to ensure that nothing is lost, I will personally cut off the queen for the second and third sons of this withdrawal!"

Everyone stopped them one after another: "How can the general be in danger?"

The robber patted their shoulders and said, "It was me who initiated this looting, I was the one who made the mistake of judgment, and it was me who decided to abandon the gold, jade, silk, and gold heavy weapons to evacuate. Since this is the case, I should naturally stop. It's like After the looting in the past, I was the last to exit the house, this is the loyalty of the thief!"

The group of thieves was greatly moved, and once again the meaning of effective death was born in their hearts.

"In addition to what I just said, the treasure in the room of false intentions is holy; entering the first, courage; leaving the latter, righteousness; knowing whether it is or not, wisdom; sharing evenly, benevolence. Those who do not possess these five abilities can become great thieves. , there is nothing in the world! This is the way of thieves!"

Although Robber Zhi is a thief, he is also pretentious, thinking that what he wants to do is a big thief who can stand up to the princes!

...

Zhao Wuxi ordered the soldiers who were waiting for the day to assemble. After a quarter of an hour, Ran Qiu, Tian Ben, Yu Xi, and Mu Xia completed the assembly within the time specified by Wuxi. When the sky became clearer, more than 2,000 cavalrymen lined up at the gate of the camp, even those recruited soldiers were no exception. After all, they had been recruited several times.

I didn't chase last night because I was afraid of encountering an ambush, but this morning I didn't have that concern. After receiving the report of the light knight's tracking, Zhao Wuxi judged that the main force of the robbers had begun to retreat westward. To the partial teacher he left behind the siege.

When he thought about it, thousands of robbers who were disorderly, carrying money, silk and property, and even women, would move very slowly even if they wanted to evacuate. So he didn't say much, just glanced at the horses in front of the troopers, and then gave the order: "All divisions start!"

The military soldiers rode in front, and the recruited Chinese were behind, and the few carriages were abandoned in the camp.

However, when they arrived, they found that they were still a step late, but they saw a dilapidated shack on the outskirts of the city that had no time to clean up.

But apart from these, there was no one around, because Robber Zhi decisively played his professional characteristics and ran away with a group of thieves!

The military officers who were so exhausted that they wanted to fight a battle all shouted a pity, and it was also very regrettable that they had no shirts: "Although people are chased, but the horses and horses never dare to get too close, only to find that the robbers are divided into two groups, one The troops retreated westward. A group of thieves who traveled east and joined the besieged city. I thought the army would be able to stop it when they moved south, but it was a step too late. Yu Xi is still tracking the whereabouts of the thieves, and now he is waiting for his return..."

The soldiers found a large tunnel behind a small hill. It was propped up with wood and stone. Tian Ben went in and saw that he was almost under the wall. It seemed that Robber Zhi wanted to attack by digging into the ground at night.

Zhao Wuxi was a little scared: "It's really dangerous, if I come a day or two late, maybe he will enter the city. However, Liu Xiazhi sees that victory is in sight, but after all, the bamboo basket is empty, and he must be very unwilling to let it go. !"

At this moment, there was a commotion in the city of Kan not far away, but it was the city that found Zhao Wuxi and thousands of soldiers. They came in a hurry, and did not hide their whereabouts. The footsteps and the dust raised were enough to startle the townspeople like a bird in fear.

"It doesn't look like a pirate, it's reinforcements, and reinforcements are here!" In the morning light, he could clearly see that the people who came were clearly wearing armor and holding the flag of Lu Kingdom. The exhausted soldiers and civilians on the Kan city wall suddenly burst into cheers.

"Ziyou, you take the Chinese people recruited by Lucheng, and follow me to the city to meet the officials of Kancheng!"

Zhao Wuxi took Ran Qiu to the foot of the city of Kan, where the corpses of robbers were lying everywhere. He looked up and saw a high-crowned and black-clothed official ascending the tower, surrounded by seven or eight armored warriors.

The official shouted tremblingly on the wall: "My lord, Kan Chengzai, I don't know which doctor is coming?"

Zhao Wuxi made people shout loudly:

"Little Si Kou of the State of Lu!"

"Yuncheng, Linqiu, and Zhen Sanyi are crowned monarchs!"

"Zhao Wuxi, a doctor in the middle school, yes!"

There were echoes, and Kan Chengzai, Sima and the others on the wall were stunned. Although Zhao Wuxi looked young, his official position was higher than theirs. Before the robbers besieged the city, they didn't hear that this gentleman from the Jin state had added the titles and positions of Zhongdafu and Xiaosikou, but now they can see the flags and symbols. The door was opened immediately, and Prime Minister Baiton greeted him.

"Many thanks to Si Kou for rescuing the siege of Kan City. Although the city was shocked three times a day, the ancestral temple and mausoleum of the first emperor are safe and sound. Please inspect the city."

"Don't worry, the second son will tell me the whereabouts of the pirates first."

After a few simple questions, Zhao Wuxi knew that the robbers attacked the city overnight with great momentum, but this morning they took advantage of the fog outside to retreat quickly.

Wu Xie thought regretfully: "The robbers have been attacking the city of Kan for many days. The defenders in the city have long been exhausted. Yesterday, the robbers should have bluffed to strengthen the offensive, so the defenders never thought that the robbers would suddenly retreat, so they were unprepared. "

Sudden withdrawal of troops is very easy to cause trouble, not to mention the lack of training pirates, even the soldiers of the Jin Dynasty who are usually trained, if they are suddenly attacked during the retreat, the three armies will be in chaos. If there is a decisive and daring person in the city who finds out that the robbers are retreating in time, goes out of the city and hits them with their tails, and drags them out until the military pawns arrive, they will definitely win a great victory!

At this moment, a light knight who used to be a hunter and could track down came to report: "Si Kou, the villain has checked, the ashes outside some shacks are still warm, and the footprints are still fresh, presumably the group of thieves just left. soon!"

Kancheng Sima also came over to provide a piece of information: The sound of the robbers did not completely subside until two quarters ago, and he only left for a few miles after thinking about it. After speaking, Wu Xie immediately ordered: "Good! The whole army turns around, re-forms, and prepares to pursue!"

Although he didn't want to fight with Thief Zhi, Zhao Wuxi didn't want him to be too strong. He wanted to take advantage of this opportunity for the sly rabbit to come out of the cave to hurt him. Although Sun Tzu has the saying "Don't chase the poor pirates", that is to say, don't chase the enemy who has nowhere to go, so as not to cause the enemy to counterattack in a hurry and cause his own losses.

But Roof Zhi and the others are thieves returning home. The looted food, money, silk, and women have to be transported away, and their combat effectiveness has been reduced, so Zhao Wuxi wanted to bite down a piece of meat! (To be continued.)
