Li Tian led the 50,000 elites from another direction and headed straight for the capital of Guihe. Along the way, he did not wave any flags and did not stop at any city. Five days later, he rushed out of the boundary between Chaodu and Da'an.
.
"Sir, as we go forward, we will reach the boundary of Guihe. Should we ask everyone to take a rest before walking?" Guo Jing asked.
"Okay, let me inform everyone to rest where they are and put on Guihe's military uniform. From now on, when you encounter a city, you will walk around it. If you see a scout, you must not leave him alive. You must do it neatly."
"Don't worry, sir. The people exploring the path ahead are all good hands trained by me. They will never make mistakes."
Li Tian nodded. He believed in Guo Jing's words very much. Guo Jing was usually taciturn, but she was very steady in doing things. Li Tian was very relieved about this. In Chaodu, it can be said that Li Tian was the closest person.
The two friends are Guo Jing and Shengun. But these two people have completely different personalities. If Li Tian wants to call Guo Jing to go east, he will never go west. If Shengun says he is at the training ground of the east camp,
Then you can definitely go to the tea house in the west to find it.
After a short rest, the soldiers all changed into Guihe's military uniforms and hid their Chaodu military uniforms in their horse pockets. The large group entered Guihe's territory under the banner with the word "Guo".
Li Tian dressed up as a personal guard of Guo Jing, riding a war horse and following Guo Jing with a sword on his waist. Although these 50,000 elite soldiers were all riding war horses, they were from the six tribes, and most of them were powerful.
Lizards and Bears.
The army walked for three days along the way, bypassing four cities, but did not encounter any problems. They encountered several officers and soldiers who were patrolling and inspecting, and all the corpses were cleanly destroyed.
"Sir, we don't have much food each of us. There is a small town ahead. Should we go in and replenish some food?" Guo Jing asked.
"Well, I think so too. Judging from the military map, the small town in front is not big. Normally, there are more than a thousand soldiers and horses stationed there. Let's go in and replenish food and grass. We will reach the capital in two days, and there will be more
It's a relatively large city. Let the brothers take a good rest and recover from fatigue." After Li Tian finished speaking, he discussed the details with Guo Jing before leading the army towards the small city.
The name of this small town is Qianyun. It used to be just a transit station for the army, but it slowly developed into a small town. The place is not big, but there are quite a few businessmen who come from north to south.
When the officers and soldiers guarding the city saw a large group of people, they still held the general's flag and did not dare to neglect, so they quickly opened the city gate.
The leader was General Qian. He came to Guo Jing's horse and asked very respectfully: "I don't know which general is passing by here. The younger one is the former Yuncheng garrison Sihai. May I ask what your orders are?"
"Mr. Hou Qian, this is General Guo Qingguo under the command of Master Yang Sheng, the military counselor. I have military affairs, so I want to rest here for a night and replenish some food and grass. This is the order from the military counselor, please take a look." Li Tian
After speaking to Hou Sihai, he handed him an order stamped with the seal of the Ministry of War and the Military Advisor.
This thing is not fake. The mark on it is guaranteed to be fake. Li Tian is not afraid that he will find any flaws. These are some documents from the Ministry of War that he brought with him when he escorted Wei Wu after the magic stick took the capital. Li Tian only said
However, after modifying the above few words, the correction fluid made by the Zerg people is easier to use than today's word erasers, and it is not visible at all.
After checking the documents of the Ministry of War, although Hou Sihai was not a big official, he had a good eye. When he saw the soldiers and horses, they were all fierce and murderous. Even the short ones were as strong as wooden squatters.
He knew that he must be the main force in the army. He couldn't afford to offend such soldiers and horses. Compared with the eight or nine hundred people under his command, each of his men and horses were as slim as day lilies. They only looked slim.
"General, please come with me. There are three military camps here that are vacant all year round, specifically for the passing armies to stay. Prepare as much food and grass as you need, and I will immediately send someone to the city to purchase it." Hou Sihai often receives such brigades.
Officers and soldiers, the procedures are very clear.
"Based on the ration of 50,000 horses, just prepare enough food and grass for three days." Li Tian said as the large group of people followed Hou Sihai into the city slowly.
Arriving at the residence, everything was arranged. Without Guo Jing's orders, a dozen or so lizard warriors sneaked into the city quietly and looked around for the situation. The bird clan was also on guard in the camp.
Qianyun City is a transit station, and many grain merchants have opened semicolons here, making it very simple to purchase grain and grass. Generally, when large groups of people travel, grain transportation officers coordinate the arrangements for grain and grass. However, there are also many urgent troops who can go on their own.
It is normal to purchase short-term grain and grass in each town.
After a while, Hou Sihai came to Guo Jing's residence with the list, "General, the food and grass have been prepared. Here is the list. Please stamp it with your military seal." Hou Sihai said and handed the list in his hand.
Guo Jing.
Guo Jing took the list, stood up and took two steps. On the surface, she was looking at the list of accounts, but in fact she was asking Li Tian with her eyes what to do.
When soldiers and horses travel and purchase food and grass, they are usually stamped with the military seal and signature of each army chief, and then the Ministry of War uniformly allocates funds.
Li Tian and others had documents from the Ministry of War, but they did not have the seal of the general. He did have the seal of Wei Wu's hussar general, but he did not bring it with him. Even if he brought it, it was useless. That was the hussar general Wei Wu, and this one was the guard
General Guo Qing is not a one-man business. There are only a few hussar generals in Guihe, but there are many generals of Wei. The military attache of Wei is the second rank, and no one in Guihe knows that Li Tian dare not ask Guo Jing to pretend to be Wei.
Wu.
He didn't care about Hou Sihai's small number of people, he was just afraid that if the news leaked out, all his previous efforts would be wasted.
"Guard Li, go get my military seal." Guo Jing said to Li Tian.
"General, for this little expense, there is no need to go through the trouble of reporting it to the Ministry of War. Just give them cash." Li Tian asked Guo Jing, pretending not to know.
When Hou Sihai heard this, his eyes immediately shone. Who doesn't want cash? In this case, he can make a lot of money just by getting rebates. Generally, grain merchants charge a higher price for the army's temporary grain purchase, because it is not
In cash, the Ministry of War also acquiesced in this matter. If it were in cash, Hou Sihai could lower the price by one-third, which is not a small amount.
"Hey, this little brother is right, General, it would be best if you can pay in cash." Hou Sihai's smile was as bright as a flower.
"Well, that's fine. The Ministry of War will have to send people to the camp to verify, and we'll take ours. Guard Li, just take Mr. Hou Qian to get the cash." Guo Jing pretended.
He said very nonchalantly.
"Thank you, General. I'm going to take my leave. I'm going to greet the General tonight at the best restaurant in the city. General, please come. I'm going to take my leave. I'm going to take my leave." Hou Sihai nodded and said cheerfully.
Followed Li Tian out of the room.
That night, Hou Sihai and local officials hosted a banquet for "General Guo Qing." This kind of banquet between officials has become a common practice. General Wei is not a high official. If he does not go, it will be suspicious.
Li Tianke was in a miserable situation. The general was drinking and eating meat, and their guards could only watch from the side. When the adults had almost eaten, another table could be opened, and their guards could fill their stomachs.
"General Guo, we have another distinguished guest here today. Mr. Yiwei, the governor of Xinyang City, returned to the capital to report on his duties and happened to settle in this small town. They arrived late and were bathing and changing clothes. They are expected to arrive soon. Shall we wait?
After Mr. Wei arrives, we will start the banquet." Although Fu Yi is a civil servant, his official position is much higher than that of Guo Jing, the general of the Wei. Hou Sihai's behavior was in line with the rules of officialdom, so Guo Jing had no choice but to nod in agreement.
Guo Jing, who was not good at words, had the courage to attend such an occasion. It was easy for people in the small town to say that there was another Mr. Fu Yi. He went out for convenience and discussed it with Li Tian.
"I wonder if we should find an excuse to run away first, otherwise there will definitely be a loophole if we ask about something later." Guo Jing looked at Li Tian and said softly.
"Hey, Brother Guo, just drink as hard as you can. If you can't make others drunk, just pretend to be drunk. No one can do anything to you."
"If I had known better, I would have made you the general and me my follower, so I wouldn't have to entertain these guys."
After the two people discussed it, they returned to the wine table. At this time, Master Yiwei had already arrived.
"General Guo, let me introduce you to Mr. Yi Wei of Xinyang Prefecture. Next to him is his concubine Miss He. Mr. Wei, this is the General Guo Qingguo I just mentioned." Hou Sihai hurriedly introduced
The two adults introduced each other.
"Look at me for a long time~" Both of them responded politely.
But when Li Tian saw Miss He next to Wei Fuyi, cold sweat broke out on his body.
Enemies really meet in a narrow road. This Miss He is none other than He Jiugu who used medicine to charm Li Tian and others in Xinyang City that day.
Li Tian quietly put his hand on the handle of the knife. When the other three guards saw Li Tian's actions, they understood very well and were ready to fight.
However, He Jiugu didn't seem to know Li Tian. She just glanced at him and followed the others to sit down.
Since He Jiugu didn't point it out to his face, Li Tian didn't raise any objections, but secretly observed He Jiugu's movements.
At the banquet, Guo Jing acted as if she had never seen wine in her life, and kept raising her glasses. Master Wei drank so much that he shook his head, thinking that a soldier is a soldier, and he has no quality at all.
As soon as the dishes were served, Mr. Wei couldn't bear Guo Jing's drinking style and stood up to say goodbye. Guo Jing also stood up and wandered back to the camp. Hou Sihai wished that these two adults would leave early, they were so delicious.
A pleasure.
As soon as he left the restaurant, Li Tian whispered to the people next to him: "Follow Mr. Wei and report any news immediately." The three guards disappeared into the night.
"What's going on?" Guo Jing, who was not drunk at all now, asked Li Tian.
"The woman just now is He Tieshou's sister He Jiugu. She knows me and she should have recognized me just now."
As soon as the two people returned to the camp, a guard came back to report, "Sir, they are staying at Hongfu Inn and have about a hundred followers. Just now, a person slipped out of the inn and left the city. Our people have already
If you follow him, you will never run away."
"Send more manpower and keep an eye on them all. Don't let anyone go. We'll start again after we leave the city tomorrow." Li Tian knew that He Jiugu would not forget him so easily.
In the Hongfu Inn, Mr. Yiwei of Xinyang Prefecture walked back and forth in the room with a gloomy face, "Jiu Gu, this matter is of great importance. You won't admit your mistake."
"Master, Jiu Gu will never admit her mistake."
"Well, you did a good job just now. There are too few soldiers and horses in this small town and it is impossible to resist it. Whether you read it right or not, first send someone to notify the officers and soldiers in the city ahead and set up an ambush to block them.
We have to leave early tomorrow morning, thanks to the fact that I brought a few martial arts masters with me this time." Wei Fuyi and He Jiugu also secretly arranged everything.
Early the next morning, someone came to report, "Sir Li Tian, they have left the city."
"Quickly, gather the troops together and be sure not to let them run away. Have the people who followed us out of the city yesterday come back?" Li Tian asked.
"Sir, before you come back, the Bird Tribe has already left the city to look for you."
"Not back yet?"
The person who acted as the bodyguard was a master of the lizard tribe trained by Guo Jing himself. Nothing else should have happened. Why didn't he come back all night? Their troops are already in Guihe's territory now, in case anything goes wrong.
, not only did the plan fail, but escape was also a problem.
