"Commander Xu, I wonder where you can guess where Cheng Dalei fled to?" One day, Lu Cheng asked Xu Shenji.
Since Xu Shenji fell into the hands of the Prime Minister, he has been treated well. A group of young people chatted around him all day long. Xu Shenji occasionally boasted, which also made them stunned.
Today after dinner, Lu Cheng finally raised this issue. After all, various princes have sent teams to capture Cheng Dalei, but they have not found Cheng Dalei's whereabouts yet.
Xu Shenji paused, knowing that the test had finally come. Of course he didn't want to spend his old age in the hands of Cui Xiang. The man with the goatee was not a good guy. These days, Xu Shenji has been thinking about what to do.
I haven't thought of a way to escape yet. With my own physical strength, I can't run out of breath after running a hundred steps. How can I escape from this military camp?
But when Lu Cheng asked this question today, Xu Shenji had to answer. But he didn't want to expose Cheng Dalei's position.
Of course, he didn't know where Cheng Dalei was now, but he felt that with his resourcefulness and clever calculations, he would be sure of it with a little calculation.
"Commander Xu, Commander Xu..." Lu Cheng called twice.
"Ah!" Xu Shenji finally came back to his senses, waved his hands and said, just point to a random place and fool them.
"Why are you so anxious? Why don't you just ask about Cheng Dalei's location?" Cheng Dalei pointed casually: "He must have gone to the northeast."
"Northeast?" Lu Cheng asked curiously: "How did Military Advisor Xu know?"
"Ha, why are you asking this? Do you understand what I said? When I said northeast, it means northeast." Xu Shenji was no longer too lazy to make up lies.
After Lu Cheng got the news from Xu Shenji, he left quietly and immediately reported the news to Prime Minister Cui.
"Northeast?" Cui Xiang frowned: "That's unlikely. Going northeast is getting further and further away from Liangzhou. That's what he really said."
"It's absolutely true, and the tone is very certain." Lu Cheng said: "Master, do you think he is bluffing us?"
"We'll find out if we take someone to the northeast and take a look. Hmm, if he dares to play tricks on us, he'll just kill him and feed him to the dogs." Cui Xiang said coldly.
Immediately, he gathered a thousand soldiers and horses, led by Lu Cheng and a general, and went to the northeast to find Cheng Dalei's whereabouts. On the way, Lu Cheng kept thinking whether Xu Shenji's words were indeed reliable. Who can think of it, Cheng Dalei went
It is incomprehensible to go to the northwest. But it is indeed because of this that more troops are deployed at the border of Bingzhou.
Could Xu Shenji really be right... Of course, this is just Lu Cheng's own idea. Everyone in the army does not pay much attention to this matter, otherwise, they would not send only 500 people.
The leader was Zhou Kaixin, an insignificant general in the army.
"Army division, don't be anxious. Let's go slowly and come back quickly. How is it possible? If he doesn't go west, he goes north." Zhou Kaixin said.
Lu Cheng nodded, but didn't say anything. He just suddenly felt uneasy, as if something bad was about to happen.
He looked far into the distance and looked ahead: "What is that?"
Not far away, a group of people were trekking. When Lu Cheng discovered the other party, the other party also discovered Lu Cheng.
This force was none other than the Three Hundred Rebel Army led by Cheng Dalei. Cheng Dalei did not expect to encounter the Imperial Army here.
"Master, what should we do?" Bai Ping asked.
"What else can we do? If you have a grievance, you must retaliate. If you have a grudge, you must take revenge." Cheng Dalei had no intention of reaching Qingniu Mountain smoothly: "Kill with me."
"yes!"
Bai Ping hit the big knife with a wave of his hand: "Kill with me!"
Three hundred rebels who looked like wolves and tigers rushed over with full of hatred. This was their first battle in front of Cheng Dalei, and they wanted to perform well.
Cheng Dalei faced Shan Xiongxin beside him and said, "Master Shan, it's up to you."
"Don't worry, Master."
"One more thing, see if there is a man named Xue Dingshan in their army?"
"Is he a friend of the boss?" Shan Xiongxin knew that Cheng Dalei had a wide network of contacts.
"No, if you meet him, kill him for me." Cheng Dalei said fiercely.
"Put it on a certain family."
Shan Xiongxin galloped out on horseback, holding up the golden-topped Zaoyang tree in his hand. Although he came later, he arrived first and cut off one man's head.
The rebel army was full of hatred and wanted to take revenge, but the imperial army only wanted to fish out an official mission, and no one expected to encounter the enemy. Zhou Kaixin panicked first, and Zhou Kaixin showed his courage to the soldiers.
If so, let alone the soldiers under his command.
This was almost a one-sided killing. Three hundred cavalrymen killed five hundred infantrymen and encountered almost no resistance.
Cheng Dalei watched the battle from afar but did not fight. He wanted to use this battle to see the capabilities of the Rebel Army. The result was naturally not satisfactory. He is brave when he is brave, but his coordination and organizational skills were really poor.
With such a huge advantage, a few fish slipped through the net.
There is no other way. Let’s adjust it slowly in the future, of course, on the premise of leaving here alive.
After the battle, Bai Ping went to search for trophies, replace damaged weapons, search for dry food from the corpses, and the horses they left behind.
Cheng Dalei's mood is far from happy. His whereabouts have been exposed, and more people will come over. The difficulties may have just begun.
Lu Cheng and Zhou Kaixin fled back to the camp in embarrassment with dozens of remnant soldiers, and reported to Prime Minister Cui at all levels.
"Did you find Cheng Dalei?" Cui Xiang asked with his eyes wide open.
Lu Cheng's face was covered with blood: "Found him, he is indeed going to the northeast."
"Tsk."
Cui Xiang sighed, he really guessed it. He waved his hand and said: "Go and invite Military Advisor Xu here."
At the same time, Xu Shenji was on tenterhooks. He pointed in a random direction, and he was probably about to reveal his secret. When they came back with nothing, how could they spare him? If they escaped, they might not have the chance to escape. Let's forget it, then.
Just scold Cheng Dalei a few more times to see if he can survive.
"Commander Xu, Prime Minister Cui has invited you." This was reported by someone from outside.
Xu Shenji raised his head, feeling that stretching his neck and shrinking his neck with a knife was also a knife. He strode out, waved his hand and said: "Lead the way."
Walking into Prime Minister Cui's tent with a feeling of despair, Xu Shenji stood up and did not kneel down. Anyway, things are already like this. If you have anything, come to me.
"Commander Xu, you are indeed here." Cui Xiang stood up immediately.
"Of course I'm coming. Didn't you see it?" Xu Shenji was already planning to break the jar.
Cui Xiang was a little confused. What happened? Why was he so rude to himself?
"Commander Xu, please don't be angry. I doubted you before. I will apologize to you here."
Lu Cheng, whose head was covered with blood, raised his head: "Commander Xu really has a clever plan, I am convinced."
