Chapter 113: Concentration (Part 1)

Wang Hongyi was about to go back when suddenly a "huh" sounded, and a group of people ran towards him.

It's said it's running, but it's actually just walking a little faster.

"Go and take a look." After Wang Hongyi said that, he walked ahead. When Zhou Rong and others followed, Wang Hongyi had already strangled the horse in front of the group of people.

Wang Hongyi's eyes swept over these people and found that they were all ragged, pale and thin, and some women were mixed in, but they were so thin that they could not see any appearance.

When Wang Hongyi and the Hu Ben Guards appeared in front of them, the refugees had stopped and were trembling all over, and some women even started crying in a low voice.

Wang Hongyi's eyes fell on the leading man. Seeing that he performed better, Wang Hongyi frowned and asked, "Did you come from Xiyizhou?"

He could see that the group of people came out of the same place, supporting each other and leaning against each other, looking very familiar. At this time, he even formed a group of people with this man as the leader, his eyes full of fear and vigilance.

"Sir, we came from there..." Looking at the cavalry appearing in front of us, the refugees looked terrified, and the leader was actually the same.

But behind him was the fellow villagers. After Wang Hongyi asked, the man stood up and replied.

"Where are chasing you behind?" Looking at the expressions of these people, there were some injuries on their bodies, Wang Hongyi immediately said in speculation.

Unexpectedly, when the question was asked, several women among the refugees cried more and more violently. Wang Hongyi signaled the man to continue answering. The middle-aged man said with a smile: "Sir, the mountain tribe attacked, killing people and robbing grain in winter, saying that they were going to spend the winter... There was a very fierce group who kept killing people. We were trying our best to escape. These are villagers and tribesmen from the same village. Our village has been destroyed. I just want to find a way to survive in Dongyizhou."

Speaking of this, the seven-foot man looked at Wang Hongyi and started crying.

Wang Hongyi listened to the sad crying, and was silent at first, then turned his head and said to Zhou Rong: "Since that's the case, in the past, Yueming County should have a small-scale porridge shed. You can hurry to receive relief and then go to Chengdu. Of course, someone will pick you up. Zhou Rong, give them some dry food so that they can walk to Yueming County."

It only takes half an hour for a cavalry to have dozens of miles, but these people will take at least a day and a night.

When Hu Benwei travels, each person carries dry food with him to deal with emergencies.

When Zhou Rong heard the order, he threw the dry food he had with him to the man. Seeing this, most of the cavalry were like this.

The cavalry brought dry food, fried rice and grinded it into fine powder, which was easy to digest and mixed with jerky meat.

These dry foods are not small, and this group is only sixty or seventy people. If you walk for a day, these dry foods will be barely enough to eat to Yueming County.

The man took it in a daze, and suddenly, he knelt on the snow with a "slap": "Sir, we have been out of food for a day, Lord Xie, Lord Xie!"

"Okay, let's continue moving forward!" Seeing this, Wang Hongyi said lightly, and instead of seeing the refugees lying on the ground crying and thanking each other, Wang Hongyi shouted and led his people to continue to run towards the border.

Along the way, I never encountered refugees again, and the smell of blood gradually became stronger.

"Prepare for battle, you may encounter enemies ahead." Seeing that Wang Hongyi had no intention of retreating, Zhou Rong had to turn around and say to the Hu Ben Guard behind him.

Everyone responded to the promise and became more vigilant.

After traveling a few miles, I was already on the border, but I only saw a dozen bloody corpses, and did not meet the enemy.

"Lord, you have reached the border. Going there, it is the boundary of Xiyizhou. We can't move forward." Zhou Rong stepped forward at this time and said again.

"Why, are you scared?" Wang Hongyi turned to look at him and said with a smile.

Zhou Rong's face suddenly turned red. He turned over and got off the horse, kowtowed and said, "We will go to the horse, and we will die, but the lord can't take risks. If you move forward, I dare not take orders!"

When Wang Hongyi saw this, he was stunned, smiled bitterly for a moment, and said, "It seems that he is alone, forget it, go back!"

After hearing this, Zhou Rong secretly breathed a sigh of relief, waved his hand behind and followed immediately.

This time, Wang Hongyi slowed down his horse and only took a walk not far away.

"Go back." Seeing the barren land here, Wang Hongyi already had some understanding of the situation in Xiyizhou.

Compared with the situation in Eastern Wu, the situation here seems to be more difficult. If the mountain faction continues to rage, I am afraid that it will be even more difficult to seize Xiyizhou in the future.

These mountain tribes are very cruel to the people. You can see the clues just by looking at the corpses of refugees on the ground along the way.

At this time, Zhou Rong urged the horse to come to his side and whispered: "Lord, there is a team of cavalry coming here."

At this time, in the border area, just crossing the border line, and reaching the boundary of Dongyizhou, the Hu Benwei was still very careful when he was with him.

Although the cavalry was far away, the sound of horse hooves trampling on the ground was noticed by veterans in the team.

"Send a few people to investigate the situation and see how many people there are." Hearing this, Wang Hongyi stopped the horse and said instructed.

"No." Zhou Rong responded and came to the Hu Benwei, selected a few scouts and sent them out.

Wang Hongyi watched from the side and nodded secretly.

This Zhou Rong is young and light, and is experienced in his behavior and can be promoted.

There are many generals in their army, and most of them are surrendered. They may not be really loyal to themselves. Some are really old and they are not young. In the future, they will be employed. It is time to cultivate more people.

These thoughts were only turned in Wang Hongyi's mind and were suppressed. At this time, he had to deal with them. They were the enemy soldiers in front of him. Originally, they could not care about this matter, but these Xiyi soldiers were incompetent in the mountains and were always peeping at themselves. This was really hateful.

The few people selected by Zhou Rong were extremely cautious and wrapped in cloth with horse hooves. When he returned, he had already found out the situation clearly, but he was not discovered by the other party.

"So, there are thirty people on the other side, all of them are cavalry sentry? No large number of enemies are found nearby?" Wang Hongyi asked, touching his chin.

"Lord, that's exactly that." Zhou Rong responded.

"And this sentry is coming toward this side?" Wang Hongyi asked again.

"Yes." Zhou Rong replied.

"That's good, I'll send an order to wait here to eliminate this enemy sentry!"

"promise!"

Then, Wang Hongyi took the hundreds of Tiger Guards to wait in a snow forest, but Zhou Rong refused to let Wang Hongyi go into battle. Wang Hongyi had to bring more than a dozen people to watch behind his back.

In a short while, the enemy cavalry had already galloped forward.

Obviously, this cavalry did not expect that an enemy that would suddenly appear in front of him that would be twice as great as his own.

"You guys are here to protect your lord, and the rest will follow me to kill the enemy!" Zhou Rong assigned more than a dozen people to protect Wang Hongyi and rushed over with eighty people.

Wang Hongyi would not really rush over to fight. Under the protection of more than a dozen people, he retreated to the open space not far away to watch the battle.

With the sound of horse hooves, the two teams of cavalry quickly met and immediately started fighting.

In just over a hundred people fighting, there was a tragic tragedy of thousands of troops. Wang Hongyi looked at each other from a distance through a clearing, and his cavalry were fighting in the wilderness.

I thought it would be easy to kill this enemy with the strength of the Hu Ben Guard, but the result in front of Wang Hongyi frowned.

The attack was like a tide, and blood splattered on the snow. However, although the horses that the enemy rode were not as good as the Hu Ben Guard, they were considered war horses. The weapon in their hands was a sharp sword. When fighting, they were very brave.

However, even though this happened, after a moment, all thirty cavalry were killed, seven or eight people were killed and more than a dozen were injured.

Although he won the victory, Wang Hongyi's face was very heavy when he saw this.

Zhou Rong obviously had the same idea. After he came back, his face turned blue and white.

"Zhou Rong, as you see, how powerful is the opponent's combat effectiveness?" Wang Hongyi was silent for a long time on the way back.

"Lord, judging from this enemy, the opponent is obviously very powerful in combat. He is accustomed to fighting immediately and is ruthless in attacking."

"It's true, the enemy is very strong." Wang Hongyi sighed and said, "It seems that he has underestimated the vassal state of Xiyizhou."

"My lord doesn't have to worry too much. Although these cavalry have strong combat power, there may not be many. I suspect that the enemy's elite are spying on military intelligence and are cruel. Wherever they go, they are not popular with the people. Besides, the lord has six counties and only one county in the enemy, so it is impossible to fight against each other no matter what." Zhou Rong said.

"You know a lot." Wang Hongyi glanced at him and said.

"Please forgive me for your sins, lord." Zhou Rong said hurriedly.

"Haha, you are too cautious. Read more books and learn more about the surrounding situation. It is not a bad thing. Keep working hard and don't let me disappoint you."

Due to a battle, Wang Hongyi refused to bring the wounded soldiers back to Chengdu - in such a cold winter, the wounded soldiers must die.

So I went to Yueming County.

Since there were cavalry first, when Wang Hongyi arrived, a county magistrate in his thirties and his men were already greeting the door. When he saw it, he hurriedly bowed.

Wang Hongyi said with a smile: "Get up, let's go into the city."

When he arrived in the city, Wei Chongde led the way. Sure enough, he saw one or two hundred refugees. In the open porridge shed at the county government gate, Wang Hongyi looked at him, smiled and stared at Wei Chongde.

I saw that Wei Chongde was so yellow that he could serve as a sixth-rank official. Wang Hongyi was a little regretful, but he was not very good. He ordered to treat the wounded soldiers immediately, and said, "Wei Chongde, your county magistrate is pretty good."

Wei Chongde saw a lot of worldly affairs and was deeply touched by the world. He smiled and said, "Lord, I am the county magistrate, and I am the parents and officials of this county. I have to do something practical. This is to repay the lord's great kindness, and below it is to accumulate good deeds for my children and grandchildren."

Wang Hongyi nodded silently and didn't say anything. For some reason, after reading these and hearing these words, he felt a little uneasy, as if he had suddenly removed it, and there were no more distracting thoughts or fears.

Wei Chongde is the county magistrate, which is the responsibility of the county magistrate. He is the lord of Dongyizhou and has his own responsibility.
