Chapter 76 Set an ambush to lure the enemy

"No way!" Li Ren shook his head. Although he knew how disappointing Zhen Mei would be if he said these two words, he also had his own difficulties. The danger of two people being together was greater than one person acting alone. He had nothing, which would also increase the burden of Zhen Mei's life. Although it was difficult and humble to ask for food, it was precisely because the beggar's life that there was no fixed place. He can have the opportunity to wander around the city and hear all kinds of news in need. The benefits of beggars were only discovered after he was forced to beg for food to survive. It is difficult to explain one or two sentences with Zhen Mei.

So Li Ren turned around and said, "Not for the time being, but I can find a chance to come to see you, okay?"

Zhen Mei's face was a little hung up, but she didn't say anything more. She just silently went to scoop up the water and wash the rice, blow the fire and raised the stove. Li Ren has really changed a lot in the past. He couldn't do it with his forbearance alone. After he told Li Ren everything, he could help him, even if he couldn't help anything, and there were many people around him. Speaking, he doesn't have to be frightened and panic all day long, but Li Ren seems to have another plan and would rather continue to beg for food than move over. Perhaps as he said, he is doing his best to avenge the Li family. However, in the face of Lou Xun, who has gained the power to ascend the throne, how can Li Ren fight alone?

She can understand Li Ren's state of mind, but she feels more desperate. Now that she is alone in the capital, is there really no one to rely on?

There was only one bite to the pot. Zhen Mei simply chopped the remaining vegetable stalks into the rice and sprinkled them into the rice, and added a little salt to stew them together. Looking at Zhen Mei clumsily rice and cutting vegetables, Li Ren swallowed the sourness that was churning straight on his chest again and again.

Zhen Mei said to Li Ren, who helped burn the fire, "Use less firewood, enough to cook a meal. Since the lockdown of the city, there have been fewer firewood sellers. It's easy to see a firewood seller. Basically, there is no need to talk about the price, so he grabs a swarm of people. Just a little firewood, it's better to save it in her own home. Of."

"Yes, since the lockdown, the life in the capital has been much more difficult than before. Although some people selling vegetables and firewood are released every day, the capital is so chaotic. Lou Xun's minions are looking for people who oppose him everywhere. Who dares to do business? What's more, it's easy to enter the city and it's difficult to get out of the city. If it's not, they have to lose their heads, and ordinary people can only ask for it. I gave up the business to protect myself. Li Ren sighed, "But don't worry, I know where I can get some dry wood. I'll bring it for you the next day."

"Well, that's more cousin Laoren," Zhen Mei said, "But you must be careful outside yourself. I heard that some beglings have also been killed innocently, especially at night. Don't walk around. By the way, where are you living now?"

"I don't have a fixed place to live!" Li Ren smiled bitterly again, "It turned out that it was under the bridge cave, but one night, somehow, a team of officers and soldiers came to arrest us and interrogate us. I pretended to be crazy, deaf and dumb, so I muddled through. From that day on, I didn't dare to live in somewhere. Usually, before dark, I found that there was no one living there. In the household, or if you touch the firewood house in someone else's backyard, you will take a nap. Although there is also the danger of being kicked out or being chased and bitten by dogs, it is better than being caught by officers and soldiers.

" officers and soldiers?" Zhen Mei was shocked, "Cousin Ren, you have been commanding the army for many years. Many of the rebel officers and soldiers know you. You, don't be caught by them again..."

"Indeed," Li Ren said, "It's strange for me to muddle through that night, was it my luck or did they really not know me? But I'm afraid few people can recognize me like this now. Mei'er, you, won't you look down on me because of this?

"Why do you think so?" Zhen Mei squatted down and said, "Isn't my appearance ugly now? Is it the same as the women in the market?

"No, in my heart, you have always been my Meier. From the first time I saw you, no one can replace you. It's unique!" Li Ren looked at Zhen Mei fixedly, full of pity.

"Tonight... Don't leave tonight, okay, cousin Ren? Mei'er is real and really scared!" After dinner, Zhen Mei summoned up her courage and begged again.

Li Ren's heart softened this time, "Okay, don't go. I'll stay with you and let you sleep well, huh?"

A team of people and horses crossed the desert out of the valley and marched on the road leading to the border gate. The bright blue sky suddenly flashed the shadow of an eagle. Huanying and Lu Zisong, led by the team, strangled their respective horses and covered the dazzling sun with their hands and looked up to the blue sky. "Is it our eagle?" Huanwen asked.

"It should be!" Lu Zisong replied, and picked up the bone whistle hanging around his neck and blew three times in the blue sky. After three times, the shadow of the big eagle got closer and closer, circling and diving towards Lu Zisong. Lu Zisong stretched out his arm and summoned his beloved big eagle. With the powerful fluttering sound of its wings, the big eagle stopped accurately and steadily on the land. On Zi Song's iron armor wrist guard, Lu Zisong withdrew his arm and hugged the big eagle with both hands. He took a roll of silk strips with fire paint marks from the eagle's ankle ring and handed it to Huanying. At the same time, he took out a dried meat from the bag of the saddle to reward the eagle with a letter.

Huan Ying picked up the fire paint with a dagger, unfolded the cloth and looked at it, and said to Lu Zisong, "We have to divide the troops for the time being!"

"Why? Why do you want to divide the troops? Lu Zisong said with surprise, "Our troops are not enough!"

Huanying handed the silk cloth to Lu Zisong again. "Look, you have to fight an ambush first, but according to my estimation, due to the steep and narrow terrain of the secret exit, the enemy will not have many troops. It is likely that it is just as a response. The real focus is still the border defense line of the two places. Therefore, you have to leave me 200 people and let me rush to the border gate to prepare for the change.

"Just two hundred people? Can it work?" Lu Zisong took a long breath, "And the last general has not really fought an ambush, and there are no soldiers in the Mingsha camp. If we don't rely on the military strength of the barracks, can we do it alone?"

"Isn't Mingsha Camp a military camp? And all of them have the ability to be ten!" Huanying patted Lu Zisong on the shoulder with a smile and took the opportunity to touch the feathers of the big eagle. "As I have just said, the mountain road is dangerous, and the land at the foot of the mountain is gentle and wide. As long as the gap is sealed, it is like a bag. I believe that the soldiers of our Mingsha Camp can collect bags and beat wolves!"

Lu Zisang smiled shyly, "Yes, I have also studied how to fight an ambush there before. Just now, I suddenly thought that I was really going to fight. I couldn't help but feel a little panicked, but you only have 200 people. The light can play the role of a guard. If you really fight a war, I can't!"

"Of course not. The war still has to rely on the original garrison at the border, so I have to rush to deploy. General Lu, I'll give it all to you! Remember, you can't let go of any of them!" Huan Ying said to Lu Zisang, "Give me a bone whistle to facilitate contact."

"Let Shao Jianping go with his wife. He has a bone whistle and can also use it," Lu Zisang explained. "Our eagle can only listen to a specific whistle, and ordinary people can't blow it."

"Okay, but if I take Shao Jianping away, who will be your deputy?"

"Shi Feng should be fine. He has been with me for a long time!" Lu Zisang smiled and said, "At least I have more people than my wife!"

Huanying nodded slightly and turned his face to see Xiaoci, so he said to Lu Zisang, " By the way, let Xiaoci go with you. You have to take good care of her for me!"

Xiaoci has never said anything. In short, it was inconvenient for her to interrupt when Huan Ying and Lu Zisang discussed the military. At this moment, when she heard Huan Ying let her and Lu Zis Song, she couldn't help but be surprised, "Why, madam, why are you driving me away again?"

"I'm not chasing you!" Huanxuan said apologetically, "If there is a fight on the front line, I can't take care of you at all. With General Lu, they are only responsible for ambush, and in the territory of Weijun, General Lu will find a suitable place to settle you. Isn't this better than me?"

"Speaking of it, I still think I'm a drag!" Xiaoci said depressedly, "Although I don't know how to fight, I'm by no means a greedy person who is afraid of death. Why do I think I must be a drag?"

"Who thinks you are dragging down?" Huanxuan had expected that Xiaoci would be unhappy because of this, so he comforted him kindly, "This is for safety reasons. Which one here is greedy and afraid of death? But it doesn't mean that people need to die in vain. If it goes well, General Lu will win, and he will have to come to the border gate helpers, so at that time, you can either go back to the palace to wait for me, or stay at the resettlement place for the time being, wait for us to pick you up, protect yourself, and live well. Do you understand?"

Xiaoci just wanted to argue, but was gently stopped by Huanxuan, "Obedient, okay? I promise to take you where there is no danger! But to be honest, I'm not sure about the situation at the border this time!"

Xiaoci said no more words and retreated to one side sullenly. Huanying and Lu Zisang hurriedly asked the soldiers of Mingsha Camp to line up on both sides, and Huanying personally selected 200 soldiers.

Lu Zisang waved to the team that was far away, "If the ambush is successful, I will come over immediately!"

Shi Feng immediately forward, "General Lu, now let's go back, can we still win the arrangement?"

"If you can't win, you have to catch up! It's about the survival of Weijun. Don't take it lightly!" Lu Zisang asked the team to turn around and asked Xiaoci, "Miss Xiaoci, you have to march in a hurry from now on. Can you eat it?"

Xiaoci curled her lips and said, "It's not the first time to travel. Don't worry!"

Zhuo Ruitong pushed open the door of the cell, and Ye Suhe, the king of Zuo Xian, sat cross-legged at the head of the bed, motionless.

"Are you used to it?" Zhuo Ruitong didn't care about Ye Suhe's arrogance. An escort was sent into a chair. Zhuo Ruitong sat down in front of Ye Suhe, "Is the food in the Central Plains still good? We are short of Beirong's cooks here. I'm sorry, I can only invite the wise generals.

Zuo Xianwang raised his eyebrows, but did not open it, let alone answer. However, his contemptuous attitude made the guard behind Zhuo Ruitong unable to see it. He couldn't help but come forward to teach Ye Suhe a lesson. Zhuo Ruitong stopped the guard and motioned the guard to retreat first. He wanted to say a few words to Zuo Xianwang alone.

"I know you can also understand the Central Plains dialect. Before arresting you, our people have followed you for many days and know everything about you do, so if you don't want to talk to me, then listen to me. There is no other meaning. It's right to chat. You and I are both princes. Although we have different positions, we all have a Be an emperor, oh, your name is Wang's brother. Therefore, I speculate that we should still have similarities." Zhuo Ruitong talked about some of his brotherhood and Yuan Can, but soon the words turned around and said, "To be honest, I really love the brother Yuan Can, and I can't love him anymore. As long as I can do it, I am willing to do it, but as the king of a country, I have to say that he is incompetent. He should not be weak and let his mother harm his brothers, let alone let many courtiers be harmed by the Li family's party after ascending the throne, and do nothing, so as to trap the majority of the people in the war. In the chaos of fire, you should know that if the people can't live and work in peace and work, and the family can't be home, what is the country?
