Words Strategize for the World
Chapter 52 The Beginning of the Conflict
Time is passing by every day, and the distance to Taoshan Prefecture is getting closer step by step.
The closer the distance was not the decrease in Fang Wei's anxiety; on the contrary, it was constantly increasing.
"Young master, I know you are anxious, but there's no use being anxious in this situation. I'm a rough man and don't know any strategies, but I also know that the more anxious you are, the less effective it will be."
Niu San could clearly sense that Fang Wei's mood had become increasingly anxious these past two days. He was very grateful to be appreciated by Fang Wei. Therefore, he hoped everything would go smoothly for them and didn't want Fang Wei to be in too much of a hurry.
Fang Wei was suddenly alarmed. Even a rough man like Niu San could see it, which meant that his expression had betrayed him for a long time.
Fang Wei touched his face, adjusted his mindset, and then said to Niu San, "Don't worry, Niu San, I'm not in a hurry. I will definitely find a way to solve this problem."
Fang Wei, having adjusted his mindset, spoke lightly, but he knew that his time was running out.
Today is the thirteenth day, and we will reach Taoshan County in two days at most. I don't know the situation of Lai Fengwu, and I don't have a good solution at the moment.
Too weak, too weak, I'm just too weak.
Fortunately, we are about to reach Taoshan County. If we arrive safely, we can expose Hanjiang.
"Young master, there are two roads ahead. Which one should we take? Should we continue searching towards Taoshan County?"
Looking up, I saw two official roads ahead.
One road definitely leads to Taoshan Prefecture, but the other road is unknown.
When they found the road sign and confirmed the route to Taoshan Prefecture, a soldier came from behind.
"Fang Yashi, the captain says we need to take another route and requests that you change direction."
Fang Wei's heart skipped a beat when he heard the soldier's words. Had the time finally come?
After dismissing the soldiers, Fang Wei pondered how to respond.
It's too late to escape now; the enemy has horses, while we only have two legs.
"Master Fang, the captain has ordered us to return immediately."
The eldest of the six soldiers who were following him stepped forward to speak, while the other five surrounded him.
Seeing their actions, Fang Wei knew that it was time to make a choice.
"Mr. Fang, if you don't make a decision soon, then we'll make it for you."
After the older sergeant finished speaking, he immediately drew his weapon and pointed it at Fang Wei and the other three.
Seeing the other party draw their weapon, Fang Wei took a step back, while Niu San and the other two quickly drew their knives and confronted the other party.
"I knew you had ulterior motives all along. The captain is magnanimous and won't stoop to your level. Instead of surrendering, you dare to resist."
After the older sergeant finished speaking, another sergeant behind him chimed in, "Fang Yashi wants to rebel against the captain, and you three want to join him? Aren't you afraid of losing your heads?"
Upon hearing this, the two men, apart from Niu San, exchanged glances and then took a step back.
Niu San was very displeased with the two men and shouted, "The young master has treated you well, yet you two actually backed down in the face of battle! Why don't you...!"
Before Niu San could finish speaking, the soldiers opposite him slashed at him.
"Niu San, watch out!"
Fang Wei shouted a reminder to Niu San and quickly wrote down the character "定".
Niu San raised his knife to parry, and with a "clang," he was knocked to the ground.
Niu San's hasty parry was no match for his opponent. Just as Niu San fell, the character "定" (ding, meaning "freeze") formed, and after a flash of golden light, the opposing soldier was immobilized. Niu San reacted, raised his hand, and stabbed the soldier with his knife.
"No……"
The sergeant was stabbed to death, and the older sergeant shouted.
Having already killed people, Fang Wei knew there was no way to let the matter rest. He quickly shouted, "Kill them!"
After shouting, he quickly wrote the character for "dragon" and attacked the older soldier.
Niu San killed one man, and upon hearing Fang Wei shout, he quickly got up and attacked the opposing soldiers as well.
The other two men who were with Fang Wei dropped their weapons and fled when they saw that someone had been killed.
That's really a disaster for my dad. Why did he have to leave now of all times?
Seeing the two escape, Fang Wei was furious.
After the character "dragon" quickly took shape, it attacked the older soldiers.
Upon seeing a golden snake flying towards them, even the older soldier was frightened. He was merely an elite soldier, stronger than ordinary people, but only to a limited extent.
He raised his sword and swung it, and with a "thud," the older soldier was knocked to the ground.
Upon seeing the older soldier fall to the ground, the men nearby immediately attacked Fang Wei.
Fang Wei's writing never stopped. As the soldiers attacked, the character "防" (defense) took shape. When the soldiers were blocked for a moment, the character "龙" (dragon) took shape.
The second attack struck the older soldier so hard that he was unable to get up from the ground.
Niu San was also quite skilled in combat. Although he didn't kill anyone else, his defense was good, and he wasn't injured.
Fang Wei is a first-level scholar of the Law rank, and dealing with soldiers who are slightly stronger than ordinary people is effortless for him.
After some effort, all six men collapsed to the ground. Three were killed, and three were seriously injured.
After dealing with the six sergeant majors, Fang Wei said to Niu San, "Niu San, hurry up and run along this road all the way to Taoshan Prefecture, and deliver the intelligence that Han Jiang wants to join the army to the general guarding the city."
"Young master, let's go together." After saying that, Niu San immediately pulled Fang Wei away.
"Niu San, you must leave immediately. I'll hold Han Jiang off here, otherwise neither of us will escape. As long as you deliver the intelligence to the garrison general, I'll be fine. Hurry up."
Fang Wei shoved Niu San aside and gave the order in a very forceful tone.
Seeing that Fang Wei was very firm, and knowing more or less what was important, Niu San nodded vigorously and said "Take care" before reluctantly turning to leave.
Watching Niu San leave, Fang Wei suddenly felt a pang of emotion. He never imagined that one day he would do something like sacrificing his own interests for the greater good.
After reflecting on his feelings, Fang Wei knew what he was about to face, so he let go of everything.
His only concerns were his mother and Lanxi in this world. He felt guilty for not knowing his mother's condition for several months after he left.
Lanxi, with whom he had shared a passionate kiss, did not inform him when she left. He did not know where Lanxi went or why she left.
He was very reluctant to part with these two people and couldn't let them go.
I hope to repay my mother in the future and bring happiness to Lanxi as well.
For some reason, Fang Wei felt sad when he thought about these things.
Shaking his head, Fang Wei cast aside the sadness that shouldn't have arisen at this moment. Taking a deep breath, Fang Wei was suddenly filled with a surge of heroic spirit.
No matter what he faces or how many people come, this is his first time guarding the pass, and he will be guarding it alone.
Back in the day, Zhang Fei single-handedly held off tens of thousands of Cao Cao's troops at Changban Bridge in Dangyang. Now, I, a mere scholar of the Law, also have the opportunity to hold off a portion of the supply train. It's quite a stroke of luck in my life.
When Zhang Fei single-handedly held off tens of thousands of Cao Cao's troops, he still employed strategy. Fang Wei didn't consider himself superior to Zhang Fei, so he planned to find a strategically advantageous location to await Han Jiang's arrival.
It would be even better if we had time to set it up.
A gentle breeze blew, causing Fang Wei's white battle robe to flutter in the wind, making his imposing figure appear even taller.
Despite the uncertainty of what lies ahead, they dared to proceed calmly and composedly.
This is a kind of heroism.
