Chapter 131 Chase
Boluo pondered for a moment and nodded, "I must tell you. But brother, you have to go there in person in Suiyang. There are too many soldiers and too many factions, so I'm worried that Tunqi can't suppress them alone."
Before Baiyintu could reply, Boluo's personal guard led a man into the tent, "General, he is Hu Shoujin, a guerrilla general under Liu Liangzuo, and he said that there is something important to report to you."
Liu Wenxiu looked at her camp in a mess, her eyes wide open, as if it was about to burst into flames, "Cross the river, chase me up and kill Zhou Xian."
Wang Ziqi hurriedly stopped him and said, "General, the order given by Marquis Sun is not allowed to cross the river! Should we send someone to inform him first?"
Liu Wenxiu said angrily: "Fengyang is hundreds of miles away. When he was informed, the daylily was cold."
Wang Ziqi grabbed him and said, "General, although Zhou Xian let us go and burn our army camp, the soldiers were killed and injured. I think Zhou Xian just wanted to go here instead of being an enemy of our army."
Liu Wenxiu threw Wang Ziqi away, "What do I care about him? He burned my camp and killed my soldiers. How could I spare him? Everyone, follow me to chase Zhou Xian."
Liu Wenxiu stepped onto a horse, and more than 3,000 riders behind him ran across the river with him.
Wang Ziqi looked at Liu Wenxiu who had already left, shook his head helplessly and said to his deputy general: "Send someone to Fengyang immediately to inform Mr. Sun about the situation and let him make a decision early."
The deputy general asked, "What about you, General!"
Wang Ziqi sighed and said, "What can I do? Let's go with General Liu! Wang Jian, I will only take three thousand infantrymen with you, and you will return to Suzhou with the remaining soldiers. You don't have to worry about what happens outside, you must guard the city."
Liu Wenxiu rode his horse and his speed gradually slowed down. When Wang Ziqi led his troops to arrive, he laughed, "I knew you wouldn't let me go alone."
Wang Ziqi looked at Liu Wenxiu in confusion, "General, aren't you angry?"
Liu Wenxiu smiled faintly and said, "A fewer than twenty people died and less than one hundred people were injured. What's the point of being angry about? Look at this. If it's as good as I expected, it should be Zhou Xian who stayed it specially."
Wang Ziqi took the envelope handed over by Liu Wenxiu, opened it and saw that it was a letter written by Zhou Xian to Wan Ji, which stated how he would march. "General, what does this mean?"
Liu Wenxiu said: "Don't you understand this? Zhou Xian will first launch an attack on the Qing army outside Suiyang City. After rescuing Liu Tiren, he will attack Boluo north to support Liu Kong and cross the river. What does this mean? Don't you understand?"
Wang Ziqi was slightly stunned, "General, can you explain it more clearly?"
Liu Wenxiu glanced at Wang Ziqi with great contempt, "That is to say, Zhou Xian and Boluo will fight in Suiyang and Shangqiu. Wouldn't the places like Yongcheng and Xiayi be empty in the south? If we don't take the opportunity to loot, will we be worthy of ourselves?"
Wang Ziqi's face was slightly stunned, "General, are you thinking too much? This is only a letter written by Zhou Xian to Wan Ji, which contains his plan to advance. Maybe it fell down by accident!"
Liu Wenxiu waved his hand and smiled, "How is it possible? In the past, the letters of Zhou Xianjun were intercepted, and there was a messy cipher text written on them, which could not be understood at all. Now he accidentally dropped a letter, not only could he understand it completely, but also threw it in the most conspicuous place, fearing that we would not be able to see it. How could it be so coincidental?"
Liu Wenxiu paused and said, "So, this must have been stayed by Zhou Xian on his own initiative."
Wang Ziqi's face was even more confused, "But... why did he do this!"
Liu Wenxiu shook her head, "Who knows! Maybe it's to apologize to us! After all, he attacked our camp for no reason. Now we don't have many soldiers, so we must act quickly. Otherwise, when Liu Kong and the army led by him cross the river, things may be too late. Unless..."
Liu Wenxiu sighed angrily, "Unless the eldest brother leads his troops to come. You said that Zhou Xian and the Qing army fought in Henan, isn't this a good time for us to pick up fruits!"
Wang Ziqi comforted: "I think if Zhou Xian and the Qing army fought for both losses in Henan, Marquis Sun would definitely not have missed such a good opportunity. The reason why they did not send troops now is probably because the time is wrong!"
Liu Wenxiu nodded, "I hope this is the case!"
Wang Ziqi hesitated for a moment and asked, "But why did you announce in public that you would go to hunt down Zhou Xian!"
Liu Wenxiu said: "If you don't say that, how can you unify the morale of the army? You say a word, I miss the opportunity. I am too lazy to explain or talk nonsense. Lao Wang, if you believe me, just follow me."
A cavalry galloped over from afar, "General, a group of bandits have just entered Yongcheng and are now robbing everywhere in the city."
Liu Wenxiu's face changed slightly, and he saw a smoke pillar rising from the sky in Yongcheng, "His grandma, these turtles are setting fires. That's the place I want to grab, how can they grab it first? Hurry up, hurry up, hurry up, catch them."
"General, is that Zhou Xian's army? Be careful, be careful of fraud." As soon as Wang Ziqi shouted, Liu Wenxiu rushed out, and I don't know if he heard it.
The general beside Wang Ziqi said, "General Wang, what should we do now?"
Wang Ziqi lamented, "Follow it! Tell your brothers, don't have to be too fast, keep the formation. Be on guard all the time to prevent enemies from attacking."
Mengcheng, the east bank of Feishui in the west.
In the two battalions, more than 7,000 infantrymen held long spears, forming a defense and moving outward. Three or four hundred steps away from them, nearly 20,000 infantry and cavalry surrounded them from the north and south and east sides.
At this moment, it is impossible to cross the river. But if the enemy attacks hard, it will also pay a high enough price.
The autumn wind blows, and the waves ripples.
They just confronted each other, and the person who determined their fate was in Fengyang dozens of miles away.
Sun Kewang looked angry and stared at Gu Yanwu in the lower head, "What, do you want to cover up everything with just a word of 'borrowing the way'?"
Gu Yanwu's face remained unchanged and he smiled faintly: "General Sun, my general said that he did not tell you in advance that it was his fault. But if you tell you such a thing in advance, the Manhu will naturally know it, and it will be difficult to achieve unexpected miraculous results. May General Sun remember the friendship between our two armies and let the soldiers of the two battalions cross the river."
