One Thousand Five Hundred and Sixty-Eight: Defeating Nieliang, Attacking Yang Tao, and Pointing the Sword to the World (106)

"really?"

Fu Wangdu was already mentally prepared to return empty-handed, but he never expected that Yan Lin would slip through the net.

Although Yang Si is not very reliable on weekdays, he is quite serious in business, and he should not bully himself with this matter.

"Why did you lie to you? I heard that Yang Tao and Yan Lin have always been inseparable from Meng and Meng. If Yan Lin is captured, he may be able to use him to threaten Yang Tao." Although the means of threatening people are relatively inferior, marching and fighting are not easy. Be moral, as long as you can win, who would use the fake skin of a benevolent gentleman?" In addition, Yang Tao lost more than 100,000 troops in this battle. Except for a few who were recruited temporarily, most of them were soldiers brought from Nansheng If Yan Lin is captured, no one will help Yang Tao deal with it, and sooner or later there will be a catastrophe!"

Fu Wang could understand the previous paragraph, but he was a little confused by the latter paragraph.

How do you listen to Yang Si's meaning, Yang Tao's character is not very good?

Fu Wang asked bluntly, "From what you said, you don't think highly of Yang Tao."

My lord's evaluation of Yang Tao is not low. Yang Jingrong's standard is so high?

"When did I say that?" Yang Si shook his head and said, "Yang Tao has become one of the princes in troubled times, and this alone is better than countless others. The reason why I say this is because Yang Tao is not a good dancer. He is straightforward and upright, and belongs to the group of people who can't rub the sand in his eyes. Why doesn't General Fu think about it, Yang Tao is from Dongqing, and the Nansheng nobles are willing to help him succeed, not because Yang Tao is profitable. Now that Yang Tao has lost the battle, Seeing that the foundation is not guaranteed, if there is no Yan Lin to deal with, with Yang Tao's upright character, sooner or later he will have to break up with the original gentry. Maybe we don't need to do anything, Yang Tao will..."

Yang Si gave Fu Wang a wink, raised his hand and made a head-cutting motion.

Fu Wang is not optimistic about this speculation. No matter how upright Yang Tao is, he is not without brains, it is impossible to get himself into that situation.

"The top priority is to catch Yan Lin first. Yang Tao is gone, and Yan Shaoyang can't slip away anymore."

Although Fu Wang is not as enthusiastic about building a career as Yang Si, he is also a man who wants to support his family. Military generals are no better than literati. Literati can enjoy themselves in prosperous and troubled times, and warriors can make money when they fight. When the prosperity is peaceful, there are not many opportunities.

Yang Sidao, "I think so too."

Even though he knew that Yang Tao would not be able to catch up, Fu Wang still sent someone to catch up.

It's best to catch up, if you can't catch up, there is an explanation from the lord, so as not to be sprayed by the lord for being negative and sabotage.

Fu Wang and the others focused on arresting Yan Lin. Compared with arresting Yang Tao, arresting Yan Lin was more realistic.

Although Yan Lin had remnants of soldiers in his hands, each of them was wearing a lottery, and he didn't have much food and supplies on hand, so he couldn't last long at all.

Fu Wang only needs to send people to block the port, keep an eye on the whereabouts of the ships, and block Yan Lin's escape route. Sooner or later, he will be able to catch the turtle.

"In this way, everything will be safe, and it is guaranteed that Yan Shaoyang will not be able to fly with his wings!"

Fu Wang was full of confidence, Yang Si looked at it with a smile on his side, noncommittal, he was afraid that he would be beaten if he said it.

Yang Si had an intuition for no reason that Fu Wang might be slapped in the face.

Facts have proved that a counselor's intuition is stronger and more accurate than a woman's sixth sense, and Fu Wang cast a net everywhere but failed to catch Yan Lin.

"You son of a bitch, break your leg if you catch it, and watch how he jumps!"

Fu Wang was very busy. He not only had to deal with post-war affairs, appease the local people, but also politely refused to show favors to the local forces, lest these short-sighted guys waste his time. Going around, a day passed with a whoosh, and the soldiers sent out hadn't stopped Yan Lin's soldiers, but they were fled into the deep mountains, and Fu Wang was so angry that he planned to set fire to the mountains to smoke them out.

"Don't, didn't the lord say it, set fire to the mountain, and sit in prison."

With a cynical smile on Yang Si's face, Fu Wang's hands were itchy to see, wishing to make intimate contact with Yang Si's cheek with his palm.

Fu Wang said, "Bah! When did the lord say such nonsense?"

Yang Sidao,

"I said it many years ago when I was drinking in a brothel. If you don't believe me, I'll write a letter and ask."

Fu Wang: "..."

Taking the lord to visit the brothel, he thought that only the prodigal son would do such a bastard thing, but he didn't expect that Yang Si was also one of the cancers!

Seeing that Fu Wang was angry, Yang Si quickly changed the subject, and comforted him, "It's the time when the weather is dry. If it really set fire to the mountain, it would not only involve such a place. I heard that there are many villages and farming people in the mountains. Terraced fields, General Fu's fire, I don't know how many innocent people will be implicated. If my lord knows, General Fu will inevitably be blamed."

Fu Wang rolled his eyes angrily, and he just said that out of anger, how could he really set fire to the mountain?

"Then what should we do now?" Fu Wang asked, "Could it be possible to watch them jump up and down?"

Yang Sidao, "Just send people to continue chasing them. Block all the exits so that Yan Lin can't save himself, and they will be killed if they consume energy."

Fu Wang sighed, and chose to follow Yang Si's "Buddhism" suggestion.

As Yang Si said, the biggest problem for Yan Lin and the others is food. The dry food on their bodies can only last for one day, and after one day they can only kill war horses to satisfy their hunger. They have to climb mountains and wading, and their physical exertion is greater than usual marching. If they continue like this, they will not last for a few days.

However, the worst news didn't stop there.

The enemy had clearly seen through Yan Lin's calculations, and had deployed heavy troops in various places. With Yan Lin's current manpower alone, he could not forcefully break out of the encirclement.

On the 6th road, there are people strictly guarding all the gates, and when taking the waterway, all the ports are also being targeted, and it is impossible to borrow boats.

It seemed like a dead end, but Yan Lin was not discouraged, let alone admit defeat.

"I already know the situation, as long as the lord is safe and sound."

After Yan Lin finished speaking, a sharp pain came from the wound on his left arm and shoulder, which made him frown uncomfortably.

This wound was left by a Liu Ya when he was chased by the enemy. Normally, it is not a serious injury, but at this time, there are no doctors, no medicine, and even no water to clean the wound, so we can only hastily bandage it. , Barely stop the bleeding.

At this time, the weather was hot, and the armor on Yan Lin's body was relatively thick, and the edge of the wound began to red and itchy, with a faint tendency to fester.

However, Yan Lin didn't care about these at all, and led hundreds of remnant soldiers into the deep mountains to find their destination.

If you don’t have a boat, you can do it yourself. The bamboo here is suitable for making bamboo rafts.

With bamboo rafts, they can leave by water in the dark without a port.

Even if this move is extremely risky, it is better than sitting still.

There are many people and strength, and they managed to survive three or four days by beheading war horses, digging weeds, and hunting wild beasts in the mountains.

Be careful during the period, lest the enemy find them.

After the bamboo raft was ready, Yan Lin asked the remaining soldiers, those who were willing to leave with them, and those who were not willing to follow.

Even though Yan Lin's prestige in the army is extremely high, the soldiers are ordinary people, and after several days of wandering, the morale of the army has long since dissipated.

So far there has been no civil unrest, but only because the soldiers have survived.

Taking a bamboo raft across the river to escape, food and water are in short supply, needless to say the danger, not everyone is willing to take the risk.
