When I just got divorced, I was overheard

Chapter 517: Are they soldiers or bandits?

Early the next morning, Li Xiuzhu woke up from the arms of Li Canghai's four women.

Gently breaking free from the restraints of these warblers, Li Xiuzhu walked out of the room.

I didn't sleep for long, but I was full in an hour.

Everyone has a consensus that the women who are serving the bed should not be called to sleep, so no one calls Li Canghai and Chen Yuanyuan.

After Li Xiuzhu finished his breakfast, he was blocked by two people before he could go and see the people digging the river.

"Master, have you forgotten something?"

Huang Rong also reminded: "Your Majesty, you don't want to keep your words, right?"

Obviously Li Xiuzhu underestimated the competitiveness of the two women.

"Now?!"

The noncommittal look between the two made Li Xiuzhu's mouth twitch.

He thought for a while and said: "You guys go look for ingredients first. We will eat whatever you can find in the past two days. It doesn't need to be too much, just one dish a day."

"The seasonings I brought with me were limited, and I didn't give you a chance to practice."

"I'll send a message later and ask them to send a few bottles of seasoning."

Apart from soy sauce, MSG, cumin, and chili powder, Li Xiuzhu didn't bring anything else with him. They could be bought in pharmacies or spice shops.

When they heard the words, they both nodded and flew outside. Li Xiuzhu hurriedly sent a message: "I will go to the river to take a look first and come back before noon."

Li Xiuzhu didn't care about the two of them anymore. He stepped a little closer and carried Du Sanniang away with the breeze.

The news of his return has not been known to those people for the time being, but it is only temporary. The news from the capital has arrived early. Even if he is late, the other party will know about it in just a few days.

Therefore, the two of them did not appear directly inside the military camp, but outside the military camp.

Most of the soldiers had already met Li Xiuzhu, so when the two arrived, the other party called "Prince" and let them go.

Li Xiuzhu frowned and said nothing.

There's obviously something wrong with him coming in so easily, but it's really hard to talk about this kind of thing. Should he be asked to question him every time?
There were only two things on his body that could confirm his identity. One was the emperor's gold medal, which was temporarily given to Huang Rong, and the other was his identity seal.

The jade seal is not only used by the emperor, but also by princes, ministers, and even celebrities.

However, the carved objects and words on the jade seal are different.

The royal family of the Zhou Dynasty is the dragon, and the prince is the unicorn.

Li Xiuzhu's is the Kirin Jade Seal, an ice obsidian jade seal that looks a bit like brown glass and has good light transmittance.

He was going too far. He only had two things to prove his identity. If they were to be interrogated, as soon as they were separated, except for him and Huang Rong, who was holding the gold medal, everyone else would be unable to move.

Therefore, although Li Xiuzhu thought of the shortcomings, he did not think about correcting them.

Anyway, if you issue a military order, you still need something to prove your identity. Even if someone comes in with his appearance, the most they can do is spy on the military situation and set fire to it.

It seems that setting a fire is serious, but generally speaking, grain and grass are piled separately. Unless a lot of people set the fire together, there is no way that the fire can be set for a long time without being discovered.

After thinking about it, they saw the river ahead.

The river at this time was just a big wet pit. There was a light rain last night. Although the soil in the river was a little muddy, the soil was much softer.

The amount unearthed today is at least [-]% more than usual.

Li Xiuzhu nodded with satisfaction and smiled as he looked at the river, which was only more than ten miles away from Heluo.

This section can be completed in about three days, as long as the other side... Just thinking this, Li Xiuzhu narrowed his eyes and shouted softly: "The northwest three battalions and the southeast three battalions are ready to meet the enemy."

"The remaining two battalions are on alert and ready to support at any time."

Li Xiuzhu's voice was mixed with rolling internal energy, and it could be heard clearly within a ten-mile radius.

For a time, the people in the canal pit no longer bothered to dig soil, and quickly ran towards the military camp.

Li Xiuzhu's face was dark. He didn't expect these people to come again. They really didn't take him seriously.

It seems that the lessons learned from the Sun family before were not enough.

The two sides were fighting together, and Li Xiuzhu suddenly realized something was wrong.

These people who rushed to kill were in a scattered camp, and they were completely mindless shootings like bandits. This was different from what Huang Rong told him last night.

Huang Rong told him that those people seemed scattered, but they had never fired more than [-]% of the arrows, so she felt that those people were absolute people.

what happened?Was Huang Rong's observation wrong?
No, it's impossible. Huang Rong has assisted in the battles at Dasheng Pass for so many years. It can't be like this. Could it be that she knew he was in the camp and deliberately acted like him?
Li Xiuzhu guessed correctly. What happened before was indeed performed by the officers and soldiers, and these people were real robbers.

Their leader met in private and exchanged weapons, money, and food for three attacks.

They don't require a fight to the death, just hold off those who come to kill them.

To put it simply, it is to implement harassment tactics of enemy retreating while we advance, and enemy advancing while retreating.

In this way, even if Li Xiuzhu went to investigate, he would only find the bandits, not the army.

Of course, this is only one aspect. If Li Xiuzhu is not careful, there will be a bigger gift waiting for Li Xiuzhu.

Li Xiuzhu said to Du Sanniang with a stern face: "Sanniang, you stay here and I'll go to the other side to take a look."

There are eight camps, four on each side of the river. Previously, there was only one direction to attack, so Du Sanniang could cooperate with the sergeant to defend.

At this time, in both directions, if Li Xiuzhu did not take action, the other direction might suffer heavy losses.

Because the Sun family in Suhang rebelled, [-] defenders were left to guard Suhang. One was to disrupt the rebels and reintegrate into the ranks, and the other was to prevent forces from stealing the city while Suhang was empty.

So this makes any single battalion unable to fight against so many bandits.

As Li Xiuzhu hurried on, he frowned at the thieves.

How come Heluo has such a situation? There are nearly ten thousand robbers on one side. How can the passing merchants in Heluo afford such a large team of thieves and bandits?

Moreover, Heluo had never reported such two large bands of bandits to the court.

Um?Li Xiuzhu, who realized something was wrong, narrowed his eyes slightly and was stunned for three minutes.

But this was not the time to think about that. There was a cyan phantom under his feet, and he quickly headed towards the other side of the river.

As he approached, Li Xiuzhu shouted.

"Due south, southeast, follow me on the expedition, and extend the defense line due east. Don't let the enemy cross the river."

Li Xiuzhu's voice immediately made these soldiers realize something.

"My lord, this is your lord, follow my lord to kill the enemy."

It was rare that Li Xiuzhu did not directly charge into the enemy group. Instead, he directly used Qinggong to mount a war horse and led the team to run out of the camp.

There are cavalry in each battalion, with two thousand in each battalion. When he left, he only took 4000 people with him.

Although the number is not as large as others, with the 4000 cavalry and him, he is only catching up to [-] people. The advantage lies with him.
