Since meeting the prince and An Gui, the interrogation efforts of An Zhilu suddenly increased. The only military officials were responsible for interrogation and recording, but at noon the next day, in addition to the military supervisors, officials from the Ministry of Justice and the Censorate appeared in front of An Zhilu.
The interrogation time also increased, and it continued until late at night. Three groups of officials were replaced, but there was no sign of a stop.
Officials from the Ministry of Justice repeatedly asked the same question, as if they wanted to capture some loopholes in their speech from his answers at different moments. Those officials who seemed modest and gentle tone smiled, but the light in their eyes shone chills.
Officials at the Censorate seem to be more inclined to talk about family matters, but when it comes to some issues of loyalty, loyalty and identity and bloodline, their tone will suddenly become extremely harsh.
When they looked at An Zhilu, they were like a group of evil wolves preparing to have a meal.
These officials repeatedly used An Zhilu's patience and energy, as if they wanted to push him to the brink of collapse, and then saw his true reaction.
After six or seven hours, only clear water was provided, and hunger began to corrupt people's will.
Late at night, it seemed that the key to the review had nothing to do with whether An Zhilu had falsely passed military orders or participated in the arrangement of evil magic circles. It turned out to be a review about An Zhilu's character, whether she was loyal to the Tang Dynasty and Li family, and whether she was dissatisfied with the Tang Dynasty military because of her childhood experience.
Although he had received the guarantee from Yang and the prince, and knew very well that Miss Pei Er was completely speaking at this time, facing this interrogation, An Zhilu was extremely tired, but she still did not dare to neglect the slightest.
Looking at these officials who were only wearing fifth and sixth rank official robes, An Zhilu knew that he could easily kill many officials of this kind of official rank in Youzhou, but in Chang'an, even with the guarantees of those big figures, the casual transactions of these officials would add endless trouble to him.
The interrogation lasted until the early morning. A military official appeared in front of An Zhilu with a solemn expression and asked him whether he dared to take the lead again to participate in a war to prove that his past military achievements were not fiction and to prove his loyalty to the Tang Dynasty. When An Zhilu had a certain answer, the long interrogation finally ended.
An Zhilu, who returned to the carriage, was not sent to the inn to rest, but was directly sent to a camp near the gate of the city.
Here there is a convoy of twelve carriages waiting for him.
The military officials in charge of the handover told him in an extremely straightforward tone that the convoy disguised as a caravan would be led by him, and the carriages were loaded with the latest arrows made by Chang'an Workshop. These arrows had special uses and must be handed over to the hands of Duke Pei's personal guards.
An Zhilu now has no military rank, but has absolute jurisdiction over all the people in this convoy. Similarly, if the convoy cannot reach the destination within the prescribed time limit, all the guilt will be borne by An Zhilu.
After carefully reading the handover documents and understanding his responsibilities and authority, An Zhilu took off himself naked by the well in the camp, and then quickly washed it from head to toe with cold water. After he put on the merchant clothes used for disguise, the fatigue on his face had completely disappeared.
He looked at the official who was waiting for them to choose the right ordnance and said very simply, "Give them a strong bow."
The official who had been watching coldly frowned and said, "It is unreasonable for each caravan to have a strong bow."
An Zhilu said arrogantly, "The pass-through document says that the fur is transported. These people are all hunters from Yangzhuang, and each person and a strong bow are nothing."
The official nodded and signaled someone to pick up the bow for An Zhilu, and then said, "Most of these people are not archers."
An Zhilu looked at the dozen entourages and said in a deep voice, "If you can use bows and arrows, you can shoot accurately within a hundred steps, leave the line."
Two men walked out.
An Zhilu ordered, "Before we hand over the arrows, teach the rest of the people to use bows and arrows. They can hit the target within at least fifty steps, otherwise they will be killed!"
Both men squinted their eyes slightly, but didn't say much, just nodded and obeyed the order.
The official waiting next to him laughed. He changed his cold look just now and looked at An Zhilu and reminded, "If these arrows are used automatically, they will be a death sentence."
An Zhilu had no emotional fluctuations on her face. "It is better to be a death sentence than to die on the spot. When you really have to fight to the death, there is no reason to guard Kingsoft and then look for Kingsoft. Even if there is any problem, it is the responsibility of me, the commander, and it has nothing to do with them."
"Yes." The official couldn't help but give An Zhilu a thumbs up.
The two men who were ordered to teach everyone to use bows and arrows before retreating, had originally looked unhappy on their faces, but the unhappy expression on their faces had completely disappeared.
...
After the convoy left the city, two officials responsible for handing over and managing the ordnance appeared at the same time before a camp in the army.
The general in the tent said calmly, "How?"
The official in charge of the handover said, "It's a general."
The other official who managed the ordnance smiled and said, "He is pretending to be tired."
The generals in the tent just smiled faintly.
Then he asked the official in charge of handover, "Is there any new military information sent over Fufeng County?"
The official in charge of handover shook his head and said, "No, but the marching routes of the rebels before have not changed. Strangely, the rebels did not seem to be a feint attack, but a real large-scale attack. In addition, they intercepted the rebels' intelligence and mentioned Lu Letian many times, saying that Lu Letian had already entered Fufeng County with some cultivators, which had disrupted some Shengying's deployment."
The general in the camp was slightly stunned, "Lu Letian?"
The official in charge of handover nodded and said, "But according to our actual situation, Duke Pei dared not let Lu Letian and other aristocratic princes easily take risks, so Lu Letian should be responsible for the transportation of some food and grass in Dongyun Village at this time."
The generals in the tent said nothing more.
After the two officials retreated, he rubbed his swollen forehead, looked at the rising sun in the east, and said to himself, "What are you doing in a hurry for these dog-dream things?"
...
When the army fights, it is not the horse thieves outside the pass. They can immediately start fighting after jumping onto the horse with a knife.
Not to mention that both sides have more than 100,000 troops, even if both sides only have thousands of soldiers, the food, drink, defecation, and sleeping of these thousands of soldiers is a problem.
After contact, the disposal of wounded people and the addition of military and horses must be fully covered. Otherwise, the army will not have the conditions for fighting, unless they want to lose their armor and lose their armor after a few battles.
However, according to various previous military information, the rebels of Fufeng County only had the ability to take the initiative to attack and harass the enemy at most, but did not directly turn Pei Guogong's army out of Fufeng County.
Take the initiative to attack for a while, to prevent Duke Pei's army from being unstoppable, and then delay enough time to arrange fortresses along the way, and consume Duke Pei's military power with the fortress's solid walls and weapons. Only then can it be possible to form a tug-of-war situation in Fufeng County.
It seems that Situ Qingcheng, Ye Fengque and Shengying had arranged this way before.
The level of powerful generals is similar, and there are only so many means to use. Before, they, the truly capable generals of the military, knew that the war in Fufeng County would not end for a while.
But who would have thought that active harassment turned into a large-scale attack, and feint attack turned into a real attack?
Situ Qingcheng and others' minds will never suddenly get into the water, but everything should always have a reason to be reasonable.
why is that?
The official who arranged arms for An Zhilu was also thinking about this issue when he registered the list of ordnances taken by An Zhilu.
"Dog-ho."
He suddenly couldn't help but laugh and scold.
Isn’t this Zhilu just rushing to Fufeng County?
Why does it seem like this battle is waiting to give him a contribution?
Waiting for a time to start a war, and then waiting to give him a lot of military achievements?
He thought this was a coincidence.
But I felt like this was a funny idea in an instant.
Who cares about such a small person?
...
At sunrise, on the deserted slope next to Yabai Town, a shrill sound of arrows broke through the mist floating on the river and the silence in the camp.
The commander of the vanguard army of Duke Pei Guo was named Tang Duanshe. He was born in Xuanping Jianfang in Chang'an and was only 27 years old.
He stood on the high ground of the deserted slope, looking at the cavalry rushing like a tide in the fields, feeling the land under his feet was shaking, but he was not panicked at all, but instead spit out the hay chewing in his mouth and shouted loudly, "Brothers, remember what I said before. Although there are more people than us, they are all light cavalry! They shoot arrows in the fast pace, and in order to achieve accuracy, they have to shoot at about fifty steps. After the shooting, they spread along the side wings and wrap around us! But now both wings have slopes, and their speed will slow down. So when they are about to shoot, we shoot against them, disrupting their positions at once, and we will encircle them on both sides. Their positions will be chaotic! Brothers, shooting against one must be dead, and life and death depends on the fate of the sky! But we will definitely win this battle!"
His passionate shouting came with a group of people who were ready to die, "General Tang, call me so loudly, be careful that they listened. Needless to say, how do you give the order, how do we do it?"
"Bah!" Tang Duanshe spat hard, lifted the Modao beside him, and glanced at the soldiers who were much older than him, and said viciously, "Don't think I met you on the first day, and if I didn't tell you clearly, you would rush up by yourself as soon as your brain became hot today. Whoever wants to have a fever in the future, eat meat in the future and hold the last one with a bowl."
As they spoke, the cavalry with a rainbow was already coming like thunder. The strong wind and dust were passing through the border like wind and sand, first swept across the entire camp. As expected, as Tang Duanshe said, when the two sides were fifty steps apart, almost at the same time, both sides issued orders, and the shrill sound of breaking through the air instantly covered all the sounds of heaven and earth. The flying arrows were dense like locusts, and blood mist suddenly surged from the two armies, and the sound of a large number of heavy objects falling to the ground sounded at the same time.
"kill!"
