I’m The King Chapter 518: : Step 2 of action

More than a hundred **** and scarred soldiers were lying or sitting outside the checkpoint, while Mrs. Lu was lying on a bamboo recliner in the checkpoint, which was also the most comfortable inside the checkpoint. There is a bedding, and Lu Bin and Cao Tianci stand beside Madam Lu, one on the left and the other on the right. . . This checkpoint is the last interrogation when entering Shannan County. Although the more than one hundred people are scarred, they are still troops. They cannot enter the city without the permission of the city.

The corporal chief of the checkpoint was serving carefully, but unfortunately he could not bring anything other than a little hot water and a pot of charcoal fire.

Madam Lu is the mother of Sima Luchao in Shannan County, so he naturally dare not neglect her.

There was the sound of horseshoes in the distance, and Mrs. Lu's tightly closed eyes opened suddenly. Perhaps it was the connection between mother and child. She felt that Lu Chao was coming. Suddenly outside the checkpoint, Lu Chaofei got off his horse and went straight to the checkpoint. In a panic, he forgot that he was still wearing a long official robe, and was almost tripped by the front end of the long robe. Stabilizing his body, he stepped into the sentry post, staring blankly at his mother on the recliner, Lu Chao's eyes were filled with tears, he knelt down on his knees with a bang, and walked in front of Mrs. Lu.

"Mother, you have suffered."

Ms. Lu opened her hands, hugged Lu Chao tightly in her arms, and burst into tears. The panic, sadness, despair, and desperation on the snowfield after Lu Hong's death were fully expressed in her cries. venting.

After a while, Mrs. Lu tried her best to control her emotions. She stared at Lu Chao, as if she was afraid that he would disappear from her eyes again. He untied the burden, took out a wooden box from it, and handed it to Mrs. Lu.

Madam Lu held the box in both hands. Gently touching the surface of the box, tears burst into tears again, "Chaoer, I brought your father here."

Receiving the urn from Mrs. Lu, Lu Chao hugged the small box tightly in his arms, tears streaming down his face. A few years ago, when he parted from his father, his father was still fierce. At that time, it never occurred to me that when we met again, it was just a handful of ashes.

With Lu Chao's best pass, more than a hundred troops marching east entered Shannan County in a grand manner, and lived in the heavily guarded county guard's mansion. For these **** and desperate troops, they lost more than half of their troops. Lu Chao was very grateful to the soldiers of the Zhengdong Army escorted by his mother to him.

The guards in the Sheriff's Mansion. Most of the guards had already gone out with He Yangguang, and a lot of rooms were vacated. Lu Chao placed Cao Tianci and others in these rooms, and then called the doctors in the city. Heal these soldiers. Shannan County originally lacked medicinal materials, but it happened that the caravan of the Four Seas Trading stayed in the city of Shannan County, so these medicinal materials were immediately purchased by Lu Chao and used to treat the wounds of these soldiers.

There is no need to say thank you. After all, the other party lost so many lives before sending his mother to him. Lu Chao felt that he could not repay the other party for his kindness. You can only give him the best ability in this respect.

Standing under the eaves, Cao Tianci looked up at the sky. God, who had been sunny for two days, finally started to snow again tonight. The cold snowflakes fell on his face, and a trace of coldness came through his face , slowly soaking the dryness in his heart, tonight, he drank a lot of wine.

What he didn't even expect was that Lu Chao hosted a banquet to thank him, and even invited Yi Bin. It seemed that everything was going well, and Yi Bin and his party had also gained Lu Chao's trust. In the county, he can use more than two hundred people. This greatly guarantees the probability of success of the operation.

Speaking from conscience, Lu Chao is a good person, affectionate and righteous, and has no doubts about them who have ulterior motives. The conversation during the meeting made Cao Tianci understand what Shannan County is for Lu Chao. , just like one of his children, Lu Chao single-handedly worked it out from scratch, but soon, he was going to raise his knife to him and take away everything he cherished.

We can only blame each other for standing on different grounds. Taking advantage of the coldness of the snow to drench the hotness in his heart, Cao Tianci strode back to the room, preparing to take a big sleep. The action should start in the next few days. Both himself and his brother must ensure that they have good physical strength.

Lu Chao didn't feel the danger in front of him at all, and he didn't expect that Gaoyuan, who was far away in the west of Liaoning, would actually make his idea to Shannan County. For him, Cao Tianci and his party at this time were protecting and helping his mother. Yi Bin's benefactor, and Yi Bin's caravan will bring his Shannan County to a higher level economically.

Whether it is Cao Tianci or Yi Bin, the place where they are located is the most terrible place in Shannan County.

After two days passed peacefully in Shannan County, he finally smelled an unusual smell. He Yangguang's army has not sent back any information for two full days, which made Lu Chao feel a little uneasy. According to the previous agreement, every day He Yangguang will send a group of messengers to Shannan City to report their location and current actions, and the messengers will also bring back the current state of Shannan County.

But for two full days, He Yangguang didn't send a messenger back. It would be understandable if it was one day, but if it hasn't been for two days, it is worthy of vigilance. He Yangguang is a standard soldier, and all actions will follow the rules. Such things happen On him, Lu Chao felt uneasy.

But he couldn't find the source of this uneasiness. He Yangguang took a thousand cavalry and three thousand infantry out for training. This force could not find an opponent at all in Fangyuan Baili, or even on the entire grassland. The only Zhao people with this power are too far away from them, and there is no information showing that Zhao has any intention of fighting Qin against Wu.

Lu Chao spent another day in anxiety. He Yangguang still had no news. This time, not only him, but also Zhou Cheng, the deputy general who stayed behind in Shannan County, couldn't sit still. He found Lu Chao and began to discuss the matter. unusual thing.

"Have you sent sentry cavalry?" Lu Chao looked at Zhou Cheng and asked.

"We were dispatched yesterday, but the weather has turned bad again. We don't know the exact whereabouts of General He. I'm afraid it will be difficult to find him. We can only go out to try our luck." Zhou Cheng was also restless.

"Where are the camps of the Huns that General He is going to destroy, General He should be there!" Lu Chao said loudly, "Why can't I find it?"

"I also sent people to the location of these tribes. I found the camp of the Huns there, and they have been rushed to the pool, but there is no trace of General He." Zhou Cheng's face turned bitter, "Now the sentry cavalry The scope has begun to expand.

"Not yet?" Lu Chao asked.

"The ones from yesterday haven't come back yet, I sent another group out today!"

Lu Chao was stunned for a moment, then suddenly said: "When my mother came over, she encountered horse bandits with a number of more than two hundred. Did General He encounter them?"

"There are more than two hundred horse bandits, how can they be General He's opponent!" Zhou Cheng shook his head and denied, "They have no strength to shake General He."

"I heard from Cao Tianci that the horse bandits who attacked them were organized by several different groups of horse bandits. General Zhou, do you think that the Huns and horse bandits from hundreds of miles away in Fangyuan gathered together? Sudden attack on General He? Each of them is short of manpower, but if they are put together, I am afraid it is a large number." Lu Chao said.

"How is this possible?" Zhou Cheng was surprised, "The Huns are already a mess, and they are constantly attacking each other. How can anyone have the ability to make them give up their hatred and gather together?"

Lu Chao nodded. What Zhou Cheng said was true, but after thinking about it, he said again: "In the past two years, General He has sent troops to attack these Hun tribes and horse thieves every winter. There are rules to follow, is it possible that the Huns have realized this and thought that General He would send troops, so they united."

As soon as these words came out, Zhou Cheng was also shaken. Indeed, in the past two years, they have used the Huns as training targets every winter, and sent troops to attack them. People know this law, in order to avoid being what He Yangguang wants and wants again, temporarily abandon the contradiction, unite together, and He Yangguang is not incapable of fighting.

"But even so, shouldn't there be no messenger back?"

"Those horse thieves have excellent riding skills. I suspect that they have blocked the messenger passage between General He and us." Lu Chao said, "General He, you have sent many messengers these two days. Didn't come back?"

Reminded by Lu Chaoyi ~IndoMTL.com~ Zhou Cheng was terrified, stood up suddenly, "Lu Sima, I want to lead troops out of the city to meet General He, what you guessed may be true."

"There are only three thousand people in the city."

"I will take 2,000 people and leave 1,000 of them to be defended by you. These horse thieves are not capable of attacking the city. 1,000 of them should be enough. I suggest that Shannan County immediately enter a state of combat readiness, and all soldiers are ready to go to the city. To prevent the surprise attack of the Huns, even if they come suddenly, as long as the city is guarded, it is impossible for them to break Shannan City."

"Let's do it like this!" Lu Chao stood up, "General Zhou, be careful, but your going out this time is limited to fifty miles outside the city. Once you can't find General He within this range, you must return immediately .”

"I see!"

Cao Tianci was awakened by the sound of bugles. He put on a quilt and went to the window. Will step by step, he smiled slightly, jumped back on the bed, and covered himself tightly.

The second step has already started. The Qin army who went out from Shannan City, what awaited them would be the fate of the entire army being wiped out. (To be continued..)
