Xin Wang Zhaozhen glanced at Ji Qianqian, thinking that this staff member seemed to have finally started to keep up with her own thoughts. Since the First World War in Shimen, she has grown astonishingly fast.
He raised his head, Ji Qianqian coincided with his idea. If he had to expand within a month to the point that Zhang Jun would not dare to die with him easily, it would seem like a barrenness at this moment alone. Shimen like the land. It may seem like an impossible task, but it is not.
If the letter king Zhao Zhen is willing to give up, he can mobilize his army to fight at any time. But now Sichuan is still in a situation where various forces are fighting openly and secretly. Once they make a move, it indicates that he and Zhao Gou have completely broken. The consequences will be even more serious.
Therefore, Xin Wang Zhao Zhen regarded himself as a gangster at this time and wanted to occupy Shimen. Although he still has the trump cards of the barbarians and the King of Letters team that have not been taken out, the prerequisite for all this to take effect is time and resources. In any case, restoring the normal operation of commerce and agriculture in the Shimen ruled area is what he must do at this moment. Especially the wood farms and quarries around Shimen, he must put them back into production as soon as possible.
Rebuilding the city wall, training camps for the militia, and various workshops all require materials, and once Luo Yueer's plan is implemented, I am afraid that I will not have time and need a lot of manpower to do it.
Therefore, he must also end the war with Zhang Jun in a short period of time. Once this Shimen is on the right track, there are too many things he needs to do.
Time is running out.
"Ms. Ji Qianqian is my assistant, and his words can represent my words", Xin Wang Zhaozhen replied. This sentence made Ji Qianqian's expression softer and said: "My identity allows me to be here. No matter what happens in the struggle, you are different. I am not a person who is accustomed to giving up his subordinates, but everything has its limits. If I myself fail in this struggle, then your results can be imagined. . Don’t think that I will use the forces of Believing in the King’s Army to rescue you. First, I will not save the incompetent. Second, I will not turn my face with Zhao Go.” When he said these words, he put his voice down. It's a bit lower.
"So we are in a boat, but there are not only wind and waves in front of this boat, but also opportunities and treasures." Xin Wang Zhao Zhen bewildered.
"At least compared to Commander Mo, I think I can be called a lenient person." Xinwang Zhao Zhen said: "As long as you don't let me down, I won't let you down."
Seeing Shan Hongfei still in a daze, he added another sentence.
"As for the bandits." The letter king Zhao Zhen paused and said, "You know, they were all forced to here by the golden soldiers during the war."
Hua Zhonglong looked up slightly startled, and said, "Xin Wang Qiansui, do you have a way?"
"I have always had a way." Xinwang Zhao Zhen replied lightly, and then added in his heart, you don't believe it.
Taking advantage of the three big leaders summoning his subordinates, Xin Wang Zhao Zhenchai asked people to find a guide from the slum.
When the ragged man was found from the shack south of Shimen City, he was still anxious and worried that doing things for this strange adult would cause trouble. Before he came, he had inquired about what happened in the city. The movement that night was so loud, even if Ji Qianqian wanted to hide the means, it was impossible. But he was poor and short, but he couldn't help the temptation of money and the persuasion of his own woman. The poor man agreed to be a guide after hesitating again and again. Because the generous young adult promised to give him fifty taels of silver tattoos, he might not be able to make such a large sum of money after twenty years of hard work. With this money, he can buy land and land, and maybe the fate of the family will be changed.
The reason why the letter king Zhao Zhen chooses people who have lived in the slums for many years is to avoid the enemy's eyes and ears. In the face of money, the other party didn't need to be strong, so he came willingly at the risk.
When Xin Wang Zhao Zhen asked questions, he carefully told him everything he knew.
In fact, the forest located in the north of Shimen City has always been called the Li Nationality Forest or Black Tiger Forest. It is not that there are black tigers in the forest that make the letter king Zhao Zhen want to fight one after he thinks about it. It’s just that the forest is dark and dense. There are also many tigers, and people call the barbarians in the forest the Li tribe, hence the name. The forest factory and the quarry and the most important iron ore are located in the southern part of the forest near the stone gate. The minerals deep in the center of the forest were invaded by bandits, and then Commander Mo once sent his army into the forest to clear the mountains from the north. A thief, but after suffering two severe losses, the lord Mo will never mention the matter again. All these situations were reported by Xin Wang Zhaozhen and Ji Qianqian. I have to say that with the help of the capable Ji Qianqian, Xinwang Zhaozhen saved a lot of effort. After all, the situation here in Shimen is much better than the precarious situation when Wuma Mountain rose up. However, the situation here is more complicated, and the hearts of the people here are even more uneven. Therefore, the situation here is even more troublesome for Xin Wang Zhao Zhen.
The letter king Zhao Zhen nodded after listening to the report of the poor, and there was nothing to do with what he knew. This was not what he expected.
The team set off immediately, and it has been more than half an hour since leaving Shimen City at this moment.
Going northward, more trees gradually appeared in the wilderness. The dense forest stretched from east to west was in front of an army composed of swordsmen and disciples. The letter king Zhao Zhen sat on horseback, holding the reins tightly with one hand, watching the warrior in front pull a loose thread and enter the huge forest with various towering trees. The shadow of the figure was stunned, and soon disappeared into the forest. Between the shadows.
"Huh." The voice of a girl who raised a little interrupted the guide behind Xinwang Zhao Zhen, exclaiming: "Are the bandits here so powerful?"
The letter king Zhao Zhen couldn't help but subconsciously raise his brows. He didn't know how Luo Yue'er appeared. Anyway, after the team left the city, this young lady wandered in his vision uninvited. "By the way, isn't this guy counting the materials and checking the accounts left by the former officials?"
The corners of his mouth twitched. "Asshole, who told her that they are going out of the city to find trouble with those bandits."
"They are really amazing, miss." The guide hurriedly said loudly, "I heard the soldiers who participated in the encirclement and suppression battles say that although they have no formal organization, they act quickly and fight fiercely, especially at night. They are good at night attacks. Most people are not their opponents, and even the underlings of Lord Mo will have to besiege two or three people before they can deal with a bandit."
Luo Yueer nodded her chin with Bai Shengsheng's finger, raised her head and imagined the opponent's strength in her mind. "In this way, they are familiar with the terrain at night, don't they take advantage of it?" she said to herself.
"Yes." Ji Qianqian looked at Luo Yue'er embarrassedly, and a little embarrassed to tell Xin Wang Zhao Zhen, in fact, she was pretended to be stupid by this eldest lady and gave him a few words to let him know about them. Action ground. Until now, she hadn't understood whether this'fiancee who believed in the king's thousand years old' was slapped righteously, or was calculating herself from the beginning. It's just that no matter which kind, it makes him somewhat unacceptable.
Shaking his head, no matter what, Ji Qianqian didn't have any intention of guarding against the benefactor who saved her from the chaos army and the Da Maha girl. Putting other thoughts aside, Ji Qianqian said: "Not only at night, but even in such a forest with low visibility, their advantage is far greater than ours. Unless it is an elite army with strong combat effectiveness. Soldiers, otherwise it’s difficult to spot each other before they find us."
He turned his head and said to the letter king Zhao Zhen: "My lord, we have already entered the forest. Should we send a scout?"
Xin Wang Zhao Zhen shook her head. He knew very well, since the opponent is an army composed of the sturdy Northwest Ring Horse and Northwest Army deserters, then ordinary Jianghu gang members are not their opponents at all.
"In order to maintain the defense of Shimen City, there are not many warriors who came out of the city with me this time. I don't plan to split it further." Xinwang Zhao Zhen stared at the forest and said, "Furthermore, our men are in contact with these powerful combatants. Than, who do you think is more familiar with this forest?"
When the letter king Zhao Zhen spoke, he unconsciously took his previous habits with him, without anger. She was taken aback when she heard the words of Wang Zhaozhen, and said, "Of course it is the bandit army." Then, Ji Qianqian was taken aback and said: "My lord, you mean... you don't need a scout? But this..." The enemy took the lead. She hadn't heard that the two armies were fighting, and one party completely abandoned horse detection. Ji Qianqian's dark eyes flashed, and said: "Do you have a master to do investigation?" She asked tentatively.
"Almost." Xinwang Zhao Zhen glanced to the left and right. With a slight movement of his left hand, several figures covered in camouflage uniforms in the distance jumped from the tree. The swordsmen and the disciples of the swordsmen and the helpers all saw this. People in strange cyan, green, and yellow intersecting clothes were surprised when they suddenly appeared around them, but they had already met these people when they fought with the army and officers and soldiers of the Kingdom of Kings. They take orders from the young lord who is in their center. Therefore, after a brief commotion, the crowd soon calmed down, but these people still looked at the center of the team with awe.
In the Song Dynasty of this era, a prince who was entrenched in one side like the King of Letter Zhao Zhen had such a powerful and small-scale elite force under him. Even if it was Emperor Zhao Gou and Emperor Jin Guo, the high-end strength around him was nothing more than that.
The closeness between the soldiers of the Xinwangjun Special Forces and the Xinwang Zhao Zhen, even the three chief leaders of Miao Yufeng, Hua Zhonglong and Shan Hongfei increasingly feel that they can’t see through this Xinwang Zhaozhen, and most of them believe that he is true. It's the letter king who is famous all over the world and has hundreds of thousands of soldiers. And it is precisely because of this that they made up their minds to stay and fight against Zhao Gou's Song Army with Xin Wang Zhao Zhen. Otherwise, they would not believe it, and would rather escape into the forest by simply relying on the letter king Zhao Zhen to express their identity.
At least there is still a chance to choose the next road.
Of course, the letter king Zhao Zhen had heard of these rumors spreading, and he also knew that the news was actually released by Luo Yueer and Ji Qianqian. Ji Qianqian's meticulousness and Xiao Luo Yueer's full belly of novel ideas are combined, and there are always a few ghost ideas of all kinds. He will not clarify, anyway, this is exactly what he wants to achieve. He did this before, but now he has been learned by his two close female staff.
The letter king Zhao Zhen gestured silently, which is a bit weird. Can his commands be expressed by gestures
The letter king Zhao Zhen waved his hand and issued an order to search for ambushes along the maximum range, kill or control all bandits, eyes, and sentries. The bandit army must have guards on the periphery of the forest, and he must pull out these guards.
Although I didn't ask these bandits until the end I didn't find that my army had entered the forest, but at least it had to delay for a while.
Then the letter king Zhao Zhen raised his head and silently watched these special forces soldiers, one by one, they leapt onto the trees or lurked into the grass, wearing protective clothing, and swiftly marching toward the depths of the forest. Then he turned his head and happened to see that Cui Hu was also looking away from the forest.
"My lord, how are you going to fight a battle?" Cui Hu turned around and asked, "If the news is correct, there are tens of thousands of bandit forces in the forest. The number is several times ours, and I'm afraid theirs. The fighting power is more than us. To be honest, I can't think of how to fight this battle."
"Don't be timid before fighting," Ma Yueying said from behind, "Captain Cui Hu."
"Captain?" Cui Hu was taken aback for a moment, then reacted. He chuckled, looked at the letter king Zhao Zhen and said, "Ma Yueying has thought about it, want to join us in the letter king army?"
Ma Yueying nodded nonchalantly, she also glanced at Xinwang Zhao Zhen and said, "I have thought about it, I have nowhere to go."
"I'm sorry." Feeling the sadness in her heart, Cui Hu said apologetically.
"It's okay." Ma Yueying smiled nonchalantly and said: "Let's listen to Wang Qiansui's thoughts. I am also very curious about how such a battle should be fought. In the past, when Xiao Shanhe led the legal protection group, we only had two at most one time. Times our opponents played against each other to win, but that time their opponents were nothing but a mob of robbers, which is different from the current situation."
"Yeah!" Luo Yueer swayed restlessly on horseback, making people couldn't help worrying whether her slender body would fall anytime, she said: "Zhao Zhen, you said the bandit army The combat effectiveness is strong, and it is also very good at using the terrain. If we fight at night, it will definitely be detrimental to us. In this way, we have to fight quickly."
When she said this, the three leaders in the neighborhood couldn't help but increase their concentration and moved closer to the circle. When the letter king Zhao Zhen noticed this, she smiled in her heart. Although he has never refused these external forces to enter the core of his circle, the three chiefs still instinctively be wary of the young royal family. In fact It is precisely because of this that the letter king Zhao Zhen never thought of reorganizing these fighters under them from the beginning. Although this matter is imperative, if he appears too impatient, it may cause misunderstanding and resistance from the opponent. . Therefore, he simply said nothing, waiting for the other party to take the initiative to come to him.
This time fighting against the Bandit Army was one of the opportunities. "Quick battle is not that simple." Shan Hongfei shook his head, and while looking at the face of Xinwang Zhao Zhen, he said: "Although I haven't dealt with the bandit army, since I can let Commander Mo deflate, obviously not. It will be a group of mobs. I am not afraid of shame to speak out. Compared with the wine bags and rice bags under the command of Mo, our soldiers are better in quality, but they are also limited. Moreover, the scale of the troops sent this time is far smaller than that of the Lord Mo who once conquered. The size of the bandit army."
"Then what to do?" Luo Yueer blinked her eyes and asked curiously.
"Xinwang Qiansui wants to unplug the opponent's guard first," Ji Qianqian watched as the last soldier of the Xinwang Army Special Forces disappeared in the direction of the forest, and then she retracted her gaze and fell on Xinwang Zhao Zhen, and said:" Do you want to buy enough time before the other party reacts?"
She thought for a moment and said, "Xinwang Chitose, do you want to take down one of the important mines by lightning strike, and then lead the bandit army to attack?"
The letter king Zhao Zhen turned her head, a trace of appreciation flashed in her dark brown eyes. Turning offense to defensive, this is indeed his idea.
"Good way." Hua Zhonglong's eyes flashed the same admiration. "But can it succeed?" the leader of the gang on the north road of Jinghu Lake asked.
"The Bandit Army knows that they have an advantage over us. If they lose during the day, they will definitely find a way to regain it at night." Xinwang Zhao Zhen replied: "We are the defensive side at night, and they have the geography familiar with the environment. We have the defensive terrain. The two cancel out, and the rest depends on morale, combat effectiveness, and the ability of the commanders on both sides." He seemed confident when he said this, but he knew that he did not have any absolute confidence. , Nothing but a way to improve morale that has long been used up.
Although he had never dealt with the bandit army, he knew how powerful the enemy was. Therefore, for those fierce bandits who left their hometowns and went south, Xinwang Zhaozhen wanted to fight and surrender.
"But." Ma Yueying asked somewhat puzzledly: "What if they don't come to attack?"
"That's not right," Cui Hu smiled, "then we will launch an offensive during the day." But he turned around and said to Xin Wang Zhao Zhen: "However, the gap between military strength and combat effectiveness is still a problem, Qiansui Xin Wang."
The letter king Zhao Zhen nodded, and while he asked the guide to lead the swordsmen and warriors around the abandoned wooden field, they marched directly to the silver mine occupied by the bandit army nearest to the moment. That silver mine is the biggest asset in the neighborhood.
At the same time, he raised his head again, his gaze fell on the sun that was slowly sliding to the west, and he replied, "This is indeed a problem, but I have done it."
Almost an hour has passed since entering the forest. The sound of bows and arrows came from the woods, and soon the warriors composed of swordsmen and disciples of the Jianghu swordsman and the disciples cheered, and rushed to drag several bodies out of the grass. The Jianghu swordsman and the disciples immediately discovered that these bandits were dead, and the arrows only caused superficial injuries to them, but each of these bandits had a fatal wound on their necks.
