Chang Yu once again had to disguise himself and go deep into the tiger's den. This trip was no small matter. Once he passed Zhaozhou and went north, he really entered the den of thieves. The main force of the thieves there was by no means as bad as the outside. In addition, he had eaten so much in Taiyuan.
Such a painful loss, Li Zicheng took extra precautions and placed undercover informants everywhere among the refugees.
Everyone knew that this trip was difficult and dangerous, but no one dared to say no when the young eunuch wanted to go. They all carefully dressed up to look like refugees, wearing rags, unkempt clothes, dirty hair, and even a stinking smell.
The main purpose is to conceal their whereabouts. The people in the retinue are not allowed to bring large weapons and each hide with a broken blade. As for the external support, it is difficult. The Gongzi camp's outfit is too eye-catching. As soon as they leave Zhaozhou City and go north, they will inevitably be watched by the rebel spies.
How could a heavily armored man and horse not attract Li Zicheng's attention, and he would soon deduce that it was his manpower, and he could reveal himself by following the clues.
In this case, why not openly attract the attention of the intruders to protect himself, so Chang Yu ordered Li Tieshan, Hu Ling, and Fan Jiaqian to lead the Gongzi Battalion and set out northward with light equipment. They killed the thieves when they encountered them and persuaded the people to leave.
Make as much noise as you can in the mansion. Of course, if you encounter a large group of thieves, they will flee. The three hundred heavy-armored cavalry in Gongziying are invincible. They all came out of mountains of swords and seas of blood. Ordinary people and horses are not at all.
The opponent, even if you encounter the main force of the bandit army and cannot defeat it, at least you can escape unscathed.
Tu Yuan asked to fight alongside Gong Ziying. His Black Tiger Battalion had not done much major work since the Texas march westward. Chang Yu refused. The reason was very simple. The men in Black Tiger Battalion were all from the rebel army.
There is no need to worry about fighting the Tatars outside the pass. At this time, fighting in the den of the rebel army, the morale of the army is easily disturbed, and it is not easy for the army to go deep alone for fear of sudden change.
Furthermore, he also needed to leave a group of confidants to assist Huang Degong in defending the city, so he took this opportunity to fry the Black Tiger Camp. Tu Yuan also knew how powerful it was, but was still unwilling to do so, and wanted to sneak into the thieves' den with Chang Yu.
, was still rejected. He is a fierce general who rushes into the formation. He immediately goes to the battlefield and is invincible. However, if there is a fight in the rivers and lakes, except for his natural divine power, his kung fu is only third-rate, so he should be left in the city.
After receiving the order, Li Tiezhu and the others simply packed up and left the city and headed straight to the north. However, after Chang Yu and Huang Degong discussed the contact mechanism, they quietly left the city through the east gate and prepared to go around to the north. After all, at this time, the officers and soldiers
The patrol patrolled in both directions in the northwest, intercepting and driving away the refugees when they encountered them. If they walked past in a big way, they would inevitably arouse the suspicion of the rebel spies secretly.
Chen Wangting, with his extraordinary temperament, pretended to be a down-and-out landlord. Jiang Fa and Chang Yu were his servants. Qiao Sanxiu pretended to be a coolie and carried a load, with some sundries on top and rags and rags underneath which were actually dry food. They learned from the past and learned from the past.
They were all hungry and scared. As for Wuzhong, they were walking alone. The two brothers Chen Suole and Li Muxian were still dressed as Taoist priests traveling around the world, but they were accompanied by Nangong Yu. Firstly, she strongly requested to accompany them, and secondly, there was someone
It's more realistic for children to use cover.
"The road ahead is long and dangerous, but it is also very exciting." Chang Yu looked around in the wilderness and saw no other people for miles and miles, so he couldn't help but shout loudly.
Li Muxian led Nangong Yu ahead. Hearing this, he looked back at him with complicated expressions. Chang Yu also looked up at him and jokingly said: "That Taoist who is known as the lonely one in the world, what are you doing this year?"
Gui Geng?".
"Back to the governor, eight out of thirty," Li Muchian turned around and replied. Everyone staggered and changed their expressions, and some even almost choked, "You are talking nonsense, why are you pretending to be young?" Chang Yu rolled his eyes vigorously, this old man looked like
If you say that someone is seventy or eighty, you will believe it. If you say he is over a hundred, you will believe it. If you say he is fifty or sixty, you will believe it. But if you say thirty-eight, you think others are blind.
"I don't dare to tell lies." Li Muxian said seriously: "It's just that he is exposed to the wind and sun, and that he looks older than he is when he sleeps in the open air."
"P, I'm not going to lie. Which of you bull-nosed and bald donkeys who are running around in the world don't deceive people for a living, and can you tell the truth? I think you deliberately made this lively fairy look just for the convenience of bluffing and deceiving." Wuzhong
He was directly exposed from a distance, and everyone burst into laughter.
Li Muchian smiled and said nothing, but lowered his head and asked Nangong Yu: "Do you believe what he said?"
"Believe it." Nangong Yu nodded vigorously. Li Muxian's face turned into a reddish color after hesitating for a moment, and everyone laughed even more happily.
"It is said that seeing through but not telling is wrong, Wuzhong, you are not a genuine person." Chang Yu laughed so hard that tears almost came out. Li Muxian looked at Wuzhong with a murderous look in his eyes, but he happened to be caught by the little eunuch again, and he was secretly shocked.
This bull-nosed man is really not a good person. After spending the night and day together, he discovered that he is really a ruthless and ruthless person, which is completely opposite to his appearance of a wise man.
After thinking about it, I looked at Qiao Sanxiu who was carrying the burden again. When I met him, he was a simple and honest man, but he was not merciless when killing people, and he was clean and neat. Obviously, this was not the first time he had done such a thing.
This discovery made him very confused. Are they actually this kind of people, or are they influenced by him after following him? The cruel and vicious side of their hearts has been amplified and they have become bloodthirsty and ruthless. Dongchang is known as a slaughterhouse.
, it is indeed not groundless, normal people become less normal once they step into this door.
The group of people walked eastward for more than ten miles, laughing and playing, and came across a town where many refugees gathered. Some were resting, some were watching, and some were secretly turning around and heading north.
Among the people traveling north, there were those who had lost their families and had nowhere to go. They wanted to die and went to the rebel war zone to have something to eat so as not to starve to death. After all, the officers and soldiers had enough food to eat for several meals. Of course, there were also those who admired the traitors, and they even hid among them and left the city.
Thief army.
After entering the town, everyone dispersed and found a corner to rest within sight distance. After half a cup of tea, they got up and hid among the refugees heading north towards the den of thieves.
The flowers have been blooming for a long time and a few flowers represent Li Yan's branch in the north of Baoding City. After easily forcing Liu Fangliang back in the battle of Juma River, Li Yan was unhappy because he saw through the thief's plot and wanted to use cannon fodder to grind him down. The officers and soldiers were exhausted.
In order to deal with the rebel army, it does not hurt the muscles and bones, but the burden on the body becomes lighter. It can be said to kill two birds with one stone.
However, the most hateful part is that he has seen through this game, but cannot break it. Li Yan is a counselor who works for break-ins, and he knows how vicious this trick is, and even he himself can't break it.
The only thing at the moment was to bravely block it with soldiers. He only had to wait for the little eunuch to weave the dragnet and then engage in an encirclement and annihilation battle to break it in one fell swoop. But now he just hoped that the little eunuch would move as quickly as possible.
Li Yan is the person who knows Chang Yu's plan best, because the framework of this strategy was formulated by the two in the suburbs south of Beijing. After Chang Yu communicated with Shi Kefa outside Baoding City and learned that the reinforcements were delayed, he decided to
They mobilized their troops south and made a detailed plan, and later sent people to inform Li Yan. All the preparations and arrangements of the two men were based on this tactic.
After Liu Fangliang was defeated, he retreated south for more than ten miles. Although he was slightly surprised when Li Yan raised his hand and beat him with a stick, it did not hurt his muscles and bones. Instead, he aroused his competitive spirit. He did not believe in a veteran who had fought in the north and south.
You are no better than an armchair scholar. Even if the original plan is to use you to consume cannon fodder, I can still defeat you with cannon fodder.
On the second day, reinforcements came from the intruder camp. In addition to tens of thousands of cannon fodder, Liu Fangliang also had his own direct troops and horses, and with the help of Gu Ying, he believed that he could knock Li Yan down with one punch!
Li Yan was a counselor and was always cautious. After Liu Fangliang retreated, he did not dare to be careless. He sent out overt and covert scouts to strictly control any disturbance within a fifty-mile radius. Therefore, he knew when Liu Fangliang's reinforcements arrived at the boundary, so he immediately summoned his troops, Jia Waixiong and Wu Weiying.
discussion.
Just hold your troops still and hold back the river to prevent it from crossing the border. Everyone has reached an agreement and will not take the initiative, refuse, or be afraid of trouble. We will wait for you to come.
Unexpectedly, after noon, Liu Fangliang remained stationary. Li Yan was confused and didn't know that he came all the way for hundreds of miles just to stare at me.
When something went wrong, there must be a monster. Li Yan racked his brains and finally saw through Liu Fangliang's plot. He was not here to attack the officers and soldiers, but to stop the officers and soldiers from going south. The bandit army was about to attack Baoding City.
Almost immediately, the scouts came to report that the rebels had launched a fierce attack on Baoding City. Li Yan's face changed drastically! He called all the ministries to discuss whether to send troops to rescue immediately. Otherwise, Baoding City would be destroyed and their defense would be meaningless. (To be completed.)
