While Zhao Junchen was trying to trick Huang Shenming into doing something, Jiang Quan was also wearing a helmet to cover his face, disguising his facial features and body shape, and was galloping among the Liaodong army, galloping all the way westward.
Although Zhao Junchen was looking forward to Jiang Quan's next role, Jiang Quan himself was anxious and worried about gains and losses.
Because Jiang Quan didn't know whether he was capable of meeting Zhao Junchen's requirements and completing the tasks assigned by Zhao Junchen.
The task assigned by Zhao Junchen was actually very simple to put it bluntly. It was to try to get in contact with Fang Zhenshan, Wu Shilin and others, so that they would never be afraid of the military power of the bandit, let alone compromise with the bandit's obstruction, and they must find a way to participate.
Given the situation, it would be best to break through the He bandit's obstruction in one fell swoop and lead the army directly to the garrison camp surrounded by dense forests in Liaodong Town.
If it really doesn't work, we must try to delay the situation so that He Bandit cannot return to the camp in a short time.
However, although this task sounds simple, it is extremely difficult to execute.
Under the current circumstances, not to mention whether Jiang Quan could convince Fang Zhenshan and Wu Shilin to act according to their plan, even if he wanted to contact Fang Zhenshan, Wu Shilin and others to pass on news, it would not be easy.
Thinking of the difficulties of the tasks he shouldered, Jiang Quan couldn't help but feel timid and lacked confidence.
"Before, just in case, Zhao Gechen said that eggs cannot be put in one basket, so he lurked beside Huang Shenming alone, while I hid next to Li Shijie...
In this way, as long as the Guan Ning cavalry takes action according to the original plan, there is a high probability that one of Zhao Gechen and I will take advantage of the situation to leave the camp, and then have the opportunity to contact all external forces...
But now that I think about it, it would be better for Zhao Gechen to exchange places with me and let him hide next to Li Shijie. After all, I am far from as wise and resourceful as Zhao Gechen. Although I followed Li Shijie and successfully left the camp among the army,
He may not have the ability or the chance to complete the tasks assigned by Zhao Gechen...
If I come back empty-handed from this operation, how should I explain it to Zhao Gechen?
Sigh... If Zhao Gechen and I were to change places, then he might have thought of a perfect plan now, so that he can completely escape the control of Liaodong Town..."
While he was sighing secretly in his heart, Jiang Quan suddenly noticed that someone around him was secretly observing him.
Jiang Quan looked out of the corner of his eye and found that a group of Liaodong cavalry reinforcements had surrounded him intentionally or unintentionally.
After realizing this, Jiang Quan suddenly became confused.
Could it be that...his disguise has been discovered?
But Jiang Quan suppressed the panic in his heart, and after careful observation, he soon felt a little more at ease.
Because the secret surveillance and silent siege by this batch of Liaodong cavalry reinforcements were not just targeting Jiang Quan.
He Bandit led his troops out this time and took with him all the high-ranking military attaches of Liaodong Town except Huang Shenming. Most of the private soldiers of these high-ranking military attaches of Liaodong Town were left in the camp, but they were all surrounded by
He was escorted by several personal soldiers.
The various actions of the Liaodong cavalry reinforcements at this time are aimed at the personal protection of all high-level military attaches in Liaodong Town, and Jiang Quan is just one of the targets. It is obviously a precautionary measure just in case. If these personal protections are not
Without any major changes, the Liaodong cavalry reinforcements that surrounded and monitored them would not take any more actions.
Thinking of this, Jiang Quan felt both deeply stressed and secretly grateful.
He feels the pressure because He Bandit, He Rensheng and others are much more cautious than expected when doing things. Under such close surveillance, Jiang Quan must be more cautious if he wants to complete the tasks assigned by Zhao Junchen.
difficulty.
He was secretly glad because Jiang Quan suddenly discovered that it might be a good thing to let Zhao Junchen stay in the camp and leave the camp to carry out the mission. After all, the mission he shouldered was more risky, and naturally he should not take this kind of risk.
Leave it to Zhao Junchen, not to mention that he is a soldier after all, and he behaves like a soldier in every gesture. People will not easily notice his flaws if he is mixed in the army. On the contrary, if Zhao Junchen is allowed to mix in the army,
If you take action, I'm afraid people will notice the abnormality soon.
Thinking about this, Jiang Quan no longer worried about gains and losses, but began to seriously consider how he should perform the task.
But Jiang Quan himself is not a witty or talented person, so although he thought hard, he still couldn't think of any proper plan. In the end, he could only decide to take it one step at a time.
Almost at the same time that Jiang Quan gave up thinking, the army suddenly stopped moving, and then news came that signs of Guan Ning's cavalry had been found in the front, so all the soldiers in the army were ready for battle.
After about another time of burning incense, Jiang Quan saw an army appearing in the distance, with a size of about three thousand people.
The Guan Ning Cavalry troops stationed near Hujiazhuang only have 2,000 troops, so the army in front of them is obviously not only the Guan Ning Cavalry, but also includes Liaodong regiment training, Liaodong branch training, and representatives of various Jin gentry families in Liaodong.

At the same time, at the front of the army in Liaodong Town, He Bandit immediately snorted coldly after seeing this scene and said: "Wu Shilin and Fang Zhenshan have indeed decided to join forces, and even mixed the two armies together.
action!"
Next to He Bandit, Ximen Sheng said slowly: "It is a good thing for us that they mixed the troops together!
If the Guan Ning Cavalry chooses to act alone, after all, it is a powerful force that is as famous as the Liaodong Cavalry. It also won a battle with the Liaodong Cavalry in a competition a few days ago. With current morale at its peak, our army will be a little more wary!
But if the Guan Ning cavalry chooses to mix with the Liaodong regiment training, Liaodong branch training, and the servants and guardians of the various gentry and wealthy families in Liaodong, they will be tied up and dragged down! If we have to fight with real swords and guns, we have a chance of winning.
It will be bigger too!”
On the other side, Li Zehe would not give up any opportunity to criticize Ximen Sheng, and immediately snorted: "If we follow He Qianhu's original plan, we can mobilize at least seven or eight thousand soldiers and horses this time, not only
It includes 5,000 reinforcements from various areas in Liaodong, and more than 2,000 troops stationed in the camp!
But now, because of the mutiny in the camp, the troops stationed in the camp did not dare to move lightly. Our troops only have 5,000 Liaodong reinforcements from all walks of life, including only 2,000 Liaodong cavalry reinforcements. Compared with the Guanning cavalry reinforcements,
The scale is comparable, but the advantages are not huge!
Therefore, it is better to be cautious. If we lose to the Guan Ning Cavalry again, our Liaodong Town will not be able to raise its head in the future!"
These words were obviously used to accuse Ximen Sheng of instigating the mutiny.
Upon hearing Li Zehe's accusation, Ximen Sheng's face turned cold and he planned to refute.
At the same time, Li Shijie heard Li Zehe and Ximen Sheng repeatedly mention the Liaodong Cavalry's recent defeat to Guan Ning Cavalry, and seemed to be secretly blaming himself, and couldn't help but look embarrassed.
Seeing that these high-level military attachés in Liaodong Town were starting to fight among themselves again, He Rensheng quickly warned: "Everyone, let's take care of the matters at hand first. If we only focus on the internal strife at this time, I'm afraid it will make the Shanhaiguan Wu family laugh."
Over the years, the Wu family in Shanhaiguan and Liaodong Town have been fighting openly and secretly, with a strong sense of competition between them. Therefore, after hearing He Rensheng's persuasion, the military attachés in Liaodong Town felt that they share the same hatred and the feud was temporarily suspended.
At this time, the Guan Ning cavalry and other troops in the distance also stopped their actions, and then they saw Wu Shilin, the commander-in-chief of Shanhaiguan Pass, and Fang Zhenshan, the governor of Liaodong and the governor of Liaodong, each came out with dozens of guards and slowly marched towards the Liaodong Town army.
The direction was approaching, as if they wanted to make contact with the Liaodong Town army.
Seeing this scene, He Bao thought for a while and then led many high-level military attachés from Liaodong Town and more than a hundred personal guards to greet him.
However, as the two sides got closer to each other, He Gang and others discovered a strange scene.
It turned out that just behind Fang Zhenshan's horse, there were more than ten prisoners who were tied up by Wu Hua Da!
Among these prisoners, the leader was the only famous scholar in Liaodong - Zhang Zhengqing!
