Chapter 523 - 523 I am waiting for them to come
523 I am waiting for them to come
They were then intercepted by the Ge Kingdom’s army twice, and Xiao Yuanshi took the initiative to lead his men to fight their way out without Xiao Hanzheng’s instructions.
They only stopped when they were about to reach the town.
Xiao Yuanshi rode to Xiao Hanzheng’s carriage and said, “Should we rush in and meet up with Prince Yi?”
Xiao Hanzheng’s voice was heard. “No hurry!
“Let everyone rest here first, I have my own arrangements.”
Xiao Yuanshi frowned. “It’ll be troublesome if the Ge troops surrounding the town discover us.”
“Rest as much as you want, I know what I’m doing,” Xiao Hanzheng said.
Xiao Yuanshi was speechless. I’ll see what you can do.
However, he didn’t say anything more and listened to Xiao Hanzheng to let everyone rest.
After a while, Xiao Hanzheng opened the window and a pigeon flew in.
At the same time, Xiao Yuanshi, who had been staring at the carriage, saw it.
It turned out that Xiao Hanzheng had been using messenger pigeons to send messages.
No wonder no one had come to report the news before.
Not long after the first carrier pigeon left, another carrier pigeon flew into the carriage.
After Xiao Hanzheng finished reading, he smiled as if everything was under his control.
The first pigeon was the news from his wife, and the second was from Xi Rong.
Previously, he had predicted that his scumbag father would be forced to lead troops to save Prince Yi, so he had asked Xi Rong and Xi Rui to take a detour and head to a hidden mountain in the town to prepare.
He slowed down his speed and deliberately met his scumbag dad so that he would be the one battling all the way.
Now, Prince Yi and Xi Rong were ready to attack from the inside and outside.
They were the only ones left.
He wrote a time on the pigeon and let it go, then got off the carriage.
“How long before your men arrive?” he asked Xiao Yuanshi.
“The earliest will be at night, why?” Xiao Yuanshi replied.
“We’ll act when it gets dark,” Xiao Hanzheng said. “We’ll attack the Ge army camp outside the town.”
Xiao Yuanshi frowned. “Even if all of my men are here, I’ll still have fewer people than the Ge Army.
“The point is, I’ve found out that they’re the most elite troops of the Ge Kingdom.
“They can fight several people at once.”
What he had thought before was to rush in directly from the side and rush to the town without stopping to meet Prince Yi, and then take countermeasures.
He didn’t expect his son to be so reckless.
“Of course I know that they are the best of the best. ” Xiao Hanzheng said indifferently. “I wouldn’t have made such an arrangement if I wasn’t confident.”
Xiao Yuanshi was speechless. “You’re just a civil official. You might not know how strong the Ge Kingdom’s most elite army is.”
When he was leading the army, he had led 10000 men to fight against 5000 of the enemy’s troops and was still at a disadvantage.
If it wasn’t for a timely reinforcement force, they would have lost.
Xiao Hanzheng had fought with the most elite army of the Ge Kingdom in his previous life, so he knew how strong they were.
“Although I’m a civil official, this is my territory.” he said coldly. “You should just listen to my arrangements. There’s no need to refute.”
Xiao Yuanshi was speechless. This is not good.
He narrowed his eyes when he saw that Xiao Hanzheng did not listen to his suggestion.
His son was still too young.
It would be good for him to suffer some setbacks.
If he lost tonight, he would teach Xiao Hanzheng how to respect his father.
He nodded and said, ” Alright, I won’t argue. I’ll listen to you this time.”
He thought for a moment and reminded, “But I’ll add one more thing. If the spies of the Ge Kingdom find us, they’ll probably surround us first. Shouldn’t we be prepared? ”
“No need, ” Xiao Hanzheng said. “The general of Ge Kingdom, who led the troops to besiege us, is very arrogant and conceited.
“He won’t think that our existence can affect them, so he won’t besiege us first.”
He had fought with him a few times, so he knew him very well.
Xiao Yuanshi didn’t know what to say.
He didn’t know that the general of Ge Kingdom had such a temperament, so how did Xiao Hanzheng know?
According to the information he had gathered, the general of the Ge Kingdom who had led the troops to surround the town had never fought against Daliang before.
“Are you sure?”
Xiao Hanzheng raised his eyebrows. “I told you not to refute me. Has Deputy Governor Xiao been in the village of beauties for too long and forgotten the principle of following military orders? ”
Xiao Yuanshi was speechless.
This brat was really using a chicken feather as a token of authority.
“Then I’ll listen to you. Don’t regret it if something happens.” Fine, if he didn’t listen to his advice, he would just wait for this brat to fall.
He would have to tell his men later that if they saw that the situation was not right, they should retreat. There was no need to sacrifice their lives.
Xiao Hanzheng saw that his scumbag father didn’t believe him, but he didn’t care.
Since he wanted to teach him how to be a person, he would let him see what it meant to for a student to surpass his master.
Xiao Hanzheng nodded. “If anything happens, I’ll bear the responsibility.”
The two of them didn’t get along and didn’t speak anymore.
Late at night, Xiao Yuanshi came to ask Xiao Hanzheng twice, but Xiao Hanzheng asked him to wait.
Xiao Yuanshi lost his patience and leaned against a big tree to rest.
Then, he fell asleep in a daze.
Suddenly, the sound of horse hooves and footsteps could be heard.
Xiao Yuanshi immediately woke up. “Be on guard. Everyone, be on guard.”
The people who were resting got up in shock and looked ahead with their weapons in their hands nervously, thinking that the Ge Kingdom’s team had come to attack.
“Don’t panic, ” Xiao Hanzheng said. “They’re our people.”
Xiao Yuanshi was stunned. “My men have gathered.”
His men arrived when the sky turned dark.
Xiao Hanzheng didn’t look at him. “I’m talking about my people.”
Then, a group of people rushed in. Xiao Yuanshi and the others still didn’t let down their guard.
The person riding in the lead said, “Old Xiao, can we attack now? ”
Hearing this voice, Xiao Yuanshi seemed to be stunned for a moment. “Southern Marquis?”
He didn’t see the person’s face clearly in the night, but the voice sounded like Xi Rong.
Xi Rong ignored him. “Old Xiao, what do you think? ”
This was also a silent acknowledgment of her identity.
Xiao Hanzheng sneered and said, “We can attack now.”
Then, he pulled a horse over and said to Xiao Yuanshi, “Deputy Governor Xiao, let everyone prepare for the battle.”
Xiao Yuanshi looked at the thousands of people who had appeared and realized that Xiao Hanzheng was indeed prepared.
However, did they think that they were enough?
Xiao Hanzheng and Xi Rong were still too inexperienced.
He also walked over and mounted his horse. “Alright!”
He ordered the deputy general to get everyone up to prepare for a sneak attack on the Ge’s camp.
The group of people rode their horses toward the town.
The sound of horse hooves rang out, and soon, the Ge Kingdom’s camp and the surrounding forest were suddenly lit up with torches, and three groups of Armored Cavalry rushed out.
Then, they surrounded Xiao Hanzheng and the others.
Seeing this, Xiao Yuanshi was not surprised. “I told you the Ge elites are not simple.
“Although they did not take the initiative to besiege us, they have already set up an ambush and are waiting for us.
“There’s still time to return it now.”
The best plan now was to turn around and kill their way out.
Xiao Hanzheng’s lips curled up. “Why should I? I am waiting for them to come.”
He knew the general of Ge very well. He was indeed arrogant, but he was not stupid.
Of course, he would be prepared and set up an ambush.
This was all within his expectations.
