Chapter 1340
For an official like Zuo Liangyu, who is more vicious than a thief, Ying Yi's view is very simple - greedy and unrestrained, stern, bullying the weak and fearing the strong.
The soldiers looted the commoners and killed the good and took advantage of their merits, which shows that their greed is unbridled. Shows no mercy to commoners, is arrogant and rude to colleagues, and often runs the fastest when facing an army of thieves, which shows that he is stern and bully the weak and fear the strong.
Such a person, in the face of 2 million taels of silver, must not be able to hold back the greed in his heart. But when the 2 million silver tael 'falls' into the hands of a thief, he will hesitate. And once he knew that the thieves were not as good as his troops, he would jump up again, but if he knew that the thieves reinforcements were coming, he would definitely have the idea of retreating.
The additional troops sent by the thieves are coming, and Zuo Liangyu does not know for the time being. And once this army crossed Yexian, how could Zuo Liangyu notice some signs. After all, it is also an old team. Although it is unbearable, there is still experience.
If you don't keep him steady, this bastard will not dare to be tough with the thief.
Not to mention Ding Qirui, Ding Qirui must not agree to send troops to war easily. Once Zuo Liangyu retreats, it just fits Ding Qirui's mind. At that time, the situation in this piece will depend entirely on the thief's mind.
This is something Ying Yi doesn't want to see.
He prefers that the two sides will have a fight here and suffer from both sides, so that Ying Yi can draw chestnuts from the fire.
"I told Zuo Liangyu the news, and Zuo Liangyu would back down. But I told him, we have 5,000 people here, and we will try our best to help him hold back the additional soldiers sent by the thieves in Yexian County. Ma, please be sure to take back the two million army salaries, what do you think he will do?!"
"He will be tempted." Zhu Bingkun said.
Zhou Li is also nodded.
Zuo Liangyu doesn't really know how the military pays. Even if the Bright Gown Guard escaped from Erlang Mountain and told Zuo Liangyu that the army's salary was taken away by Ying Yi, Ying Yi can also say that he was intercepted by thieves on the way. In other words, after it was transported to Ye County, the city was breached by thieves - Ye County was already a wasteland.
"I told him that Hao Yaoqi won the army's salary, but he also wanted to take it for himself, so he did not return to Kaifeng immediately, and the silver was hidden by Hao Yaoqi at the southern foot of Fangcheng Mountain. Not to mention Hao Yaoqi Whether he really wants to take it alone, Zuo Liangyu will definitely save others by himself. He thinks that Hao Yaoqi must take it alone, because it is on Zuo Liangyu, he also thinks so. I said that three days later, the thieves and troops will arrive, and I am there. Ye Xian helped him hold back the bandit soldiers, and when he defeated Hao Yaoqi and Liu Zongmin, and came to rescue us, he must be very happy, and felt that a bunch of cannon fodder gave him pillows when he wanted to sleep."
Hearing this, Zhou Li both laughed.
"He will definitely act in advance. So before that, I have to meet Hao Yaoqi and Liu Zongmin, tell them that reinforcements are coming, and urge them to retreat as soon as possible. Zuo Liangyu will pursue, and then Chase to the southern foot of Fangcheng Mountain. At this time, the additional troops and horses sent by the thieves have also arrived..."
"When the dry wood meets the fire, it will be a chaotic battle."
" Finally..."
"Let's come out and clean up the mess."
After Ying Yi finished speaking, he paused and said, "Then, there is only one last thing left."
He said: "The troops and horses sent by the thieves should not cross Yexian too quickly to avoid the Huguang soldiers from being aware of it in advance. So we have to move here. Zhang Shi should be back soon, as soon as he comes back. , it indicates that the additional troops and horses sent by the thieves have entered the territory of Yexian County, so we have to show our knives to make them suspicious and delay their advance."
"Please instruct me, sir!"

Zhou Li and Zhu Bingkun got up to cup one fist in the other hand.
Ying Yi nodded: "As soon as Zhang Shi comes back, we should move. The main force rushed to the southern foot of the night. The night will not be accepted."
He looked at Sky: "Take advantage of the night to play hide-and-seek with them."
...
Before it got dark, Zhang Shi really came back.
He turned over and ran in front of Ying Yi in a hurry: "Sir, the extra troops sent by the thieves have indeed arrived!"
"Okay."
Ying Yi nodded: "It's not what I expected. How many people are there?"
"No less than 20,000!" Zhang Shi took a deep breath: "Sir, two million taels of silver, it seems that The thief attaches great importance to it. From a distance, the 20,000 thieves have at least 3,000 cavalry, all of whom are old thief."
"The 3,000 old battalions... do pay attention to it. Then who will the thief be? "
Ying Yi asked.
“The big banner is written with a character of Li.” Zhang Shi cautiously said.
"Li..." Ying Yi heard this, a cold light flashed in his eyes: "It's not a thief, right? Li Guo?"
Zhang Shishook the head : "I don't know. My lord, the thief's relatives are all surnamed Li, so Li Guo should not be the only one." One person. Forget it, don't worry, I won't be impulsive. If I want to kill this thief, I will be unhurried for a while."
Several people around were secretly relaxed.
"Where have they been?" Ying Yi suppressed the killing intent in his heart and asked slowly.
"It should be near Yexian County by now." Zhang Shi said.
"Okay." Ying Yi waved his hand: "It's getting dark, and after training for so many days, let me see your ability to hold back at night."
Zhang Shi heard this startled, then showed a nervous and happy look, fiercely beat his chest, gritted his teeth and said, "I will not teach adults to be disappointed!" : "Hurry up and go to the south."
It's not that Ying Yi doesn't want to keep more troops and horses to deal with the additional thieves, but the more than 3,000 soldiers and horses are all ready to fight except for the night. Empty hands and sackcloth. It's no use staying.
More than 3,000 soldiers and horses had already been prepared, Ying Yi gave an order, led by Zhou Li and Zhu Bingkun, teams disappeared into the mountains.
Zhang Shizao brought a horse, Ying Yi took the reins and turned on the horse, then took a Pu knife handed by Zhang Shi, hit the horse's belly with the knife, shouted: "Go!"
p>
The night was hazy, but Ying Yi's heart was boiling with killing intent.
Not long after, Ying Yi and Zhang Shihe came to a forest in the south of Yexian City after a few nights. Zhang Shi whistled a few times, and there were several nights in the woods. .
"Sir! Hundred households!"
Ying Yi waved his hand: "Where are the thieves now?"
Ye Bu said: "Just after South of the city." He pointed to the guide: "It's less than five miles away."
"Yi?" "Looks like yes, my lord. They didn't stop camping, and headed south."
"How fast are the soldiers, hey..." Ying Yi showed a sneer. He has already concluded that the thief of this army is Li Guo, can it be said that he is worthy of being a 'national general' passed down by later generations?
"Go, go in front of them." Ying Yi waved his hand and rode away.
The army is a huge monster, and there are 20,000 thieves. It can't be compared with Ying Yi and the others Qingqi. Ying Yi took Zhang Shi and the others all the way to the south around the woods, and across the night, he could vaguely see the long dragon roaming in the distance.
Gradually, one hundred and twelve people from a hundred households did not receive any money at night, and all returned to the team.
