"Fourth Master, here, in the deep mountains and old forests, where should we go to find wild boars for the general? If not, why don't we hunt a few more roe deer instead!" A soldier looked at the confused virgin forest around him.
A little confused, he said to Ah Si!
"What the hell are you talking about? Ah!"
Ah Si kicked the soldier hard and cursed: "Who is our general? Ah! He is a person like a god descending from the earth! Whatever the old man wants, we have to get him something! This
The woods on the mountain are deep, but they can’t be deeper than our five thousand brothers! You all should cheer up for me! If we can’t hunt the wild boar today, no one will be able to eat!”
"Yes, yes!" The soldiers around him no longer dared to say anything and nodded in agreement.
However, Ah Si drifted his eyes to the side behind the boulder. The people there should have heard it clearly!
At this time, there was a sudden sound next to the boulder, and there were several low groans, and a soldier shouted: "Fourth Master, hehe, the wild boar is coming to the door!"
An imperceptible smile appeared on Ah Si's face. He quickly pulled out the steel knife from his waist and shouted: "Quick, surround me, don't let this beast escape!"
In an instant, more than a dozen soldiers rushed straight behind the boulder.
~~~~~~
On the top side of the mountain, the man in Miao costumes took the young man and a few followers and ran all the way for more than ten miles. Then he lay down next to a big tree to rest like a dead dog.
The young man gasped and said: "Brother, these official bitches can really run away! If it hadn't been for that wild boar coming to the door, we, we would have to be here today!"
The man was also a little embarrassed, but he had a smile on his face, "Humph! What do you know, you little melon? This is God's will! Even the mountain god is helping us! Although we put in some effort, it's...
We have figured out the whereabouts of these official scoundrels! Take a rest for a quarter of an hour, I will report this matter to the commander immediately!"
"yes!"
~~~~~~~
Xingshan County.
Luo Rucai was listening patiently to the man in Miao clothes reporting the results of the investigation.
This man's name is Luo Gou, nicknamed "Luo Dagou". He is Luo Rucai's cousin from the same branch. The two of them grew up wearing crotchless pants together. They have a deep friendship. In addition, he is mature and prudent. Now he is Luo Rucai's confidant.
leader.
"Da Gou, are you saying that Liu Ruyi's troops only have less than five thousand troops?" Luo Rucai looked into Luo Da Gou's eyes and said.
Luo Dagou nodded hurriedly, "Commander, this is what I saw with my own eyes. I can't be wrong! It is said to be five thousand, but in fact it is too much. Although I cannot count it in detail, but according to my estimation,
They are only over 4,000, less than 5,000! Moreover, this Liu Ruyi has no intention of attacking us at all. I think this person is even more arrogant and domineering than Zuo Liangyu! In such a cold weather, he
He actually sent people to the mountains to hunt wild boar for food. Fortunately, Gua Wazi and I ran fast, otherwise, we might have fallen into the hands of those officials and their minions!"
Luo Rucai nodded, "What is the attitude of those Miao people?"
"Commander, it's not like you don't know that those Miao people hate the army the most! I feel that this is a good opportunity for us!" Luo Dagou said hurriedly.
Luo Rucai couldn't help but smile softly, "Big dog, thank you for your hard work! This time, if things go smoothly, we will be able to take root in Jingzhou!"
Two days later, light snow started to fall in the sky, and the entire deep mountains were covered in white, hazy fog, and extremely low visibility!
Liu Ruyi led nearly 4,000 colorful stone troops and hid on a gentle hillside on the west side of Xiangyouping. They had no life. The soldiers were almost all close together, relying on each other's body temperature to keep warm.
Xiao Liu'er, Huo Lang, Chun Wa, Cao Jizhou and other officers gathered around Liu Ruyi, staring closely at the army camp at the foot of the mountain, which was as big as a chessboard.
"Young Master, will Cao Cao come? It's freezing cold here, grandson, don't be scared!" Xiao Liuer's big nose turned red from the cold, he rubbed his hands vigorously, and said to
Liu Ruyi said on the side.
Liu Ruyi smiled slightly, "Whether he comes or not is not up to us! Be patient, we will wait for him here!"
Cao Jizhou on the side was also a little confused and asked carefully: "General, I have heard for a long time that this Luo Rucai is extremely cunning, comparable to Cao Cao during the Three Kingdoms! With his strength, does he really dare to take action against us?"
Liu Ruyi looked at Cao Jizhou, then at Chun Wa and Huo Lang, "You two tell me!"
Huo Lang said: "Brother, in my opinion, if Luo Rucai can be regarded as a hero, he will come after all! If he is a bear, it's hard to say!"
Chunwa also said: "General, Luo Rucai has great ambitions and may not succumb to the traitors. If he can defeat our Colored Stone Army, it will undoubtedly be a huge temptation for him."
!I think he will come!"
Liu Ruyi nodded and said with a smile: "You two are right! If it is Zhang Xianzhong, I am not sure whether he will come! But if it is Luo Rucai, I can be sure that he will definitely come!"
"W-why is this?" Xiao Liu'er was still confused!
Liu Ruyi couldn't help laughing and patted Xiao Liu'er on the shoulder, "Because, he is Cao Cao!"
Liu Ruyi's expectation was good. At this time, more than ten miles away from Xiangyouping, Luo Rucai personally led the main force of 15,000 people and was rushing towards the Xiangyouping military camp!
Although Luo Rucai had sent people to inquire about Liu Ruyi's life many times, he knew that General Zhendong had a strong military and many talented people under his command. Even against the Eight Banners of the Manchu and Qing Dynasties, he did not fall behind at all!
But as the saying goes, 'hearing is false, seeing is true!'
After seven or eight days of inquiries and investigations by his elite scouts, Luo Rucai made his own judgment in his mind!
That is, although General Zhendong is very strong, he cannot escape a common problem among the army, which is to be 'arrogant and domineering', 'arrogant', and thinks he can be 'invincible'!
But this is Jingzhou, this is the complex Jingxi mountainous area, this is not his hometown of Shandong!
By observing the movements of Liu Ruyi's Colored Stone Army, Luo Rucai also discovered that Liu Ruyi actually had no intention of marching into Xingshan County. His garrison in Xiangyouping might be more of a deterrent to himself, or rather
, this is just a situation that allows him to work with Yang Sichang!
Luo Rucai is an extremely shrewd businessman. After this careful analysis, he keenly caught the slightest flaw!
That is 'a proud soldier will be defeated!'
It is estimated that Liu Ruyi never dreamed that he would dare to directly send troops to attack his camp!
A fictional young face suddenly appeared in Luo Rucai's mind. While he was sleeping, he saw his own army suddenly approaching. What kind of interesting thing would this be?
"Quick, brothers, work harder, we must get to Xiangyouping before dark!" Luo Rucai shouted loudly to the people around him.
This time, in order to completely annihilate Liu Ruyi's troops, he also spent a lot of money. Not only did all the elite of his old battalion come out, but also the chieftains who were friends with him on the west side of Jing were all sent out with him under his control.
!
He will use one battle to completely kill Liu Ruyi without a place to bury him!
Let all the officers and soldiers in Huguang take a look and see what the consequences will be if they go against him, 'Cao Cao'!
But it is a pity that Luo Rucai is not the only smart person in this world. His every move is already under Liu Ruyi's control!
In fact, the reason why Liu Ruyi did not take the initiative to attack was to find a good opportunity to annihilate all the main forces of Luo Rucai's department. It would be best to kill Luo Rucai, the leader of the thieves!
After all, Liu Ruyi only has 4,000 troops. In the vast mountains of Jingxi, this small number of people is really not enough!
Moreover, the skill of escaping is originally the innate specialty of the refugee army!
It is estimated that if Luo Rucai's old battalion soldiers were allowed to participate in the Olympic long-distance running competition in later generations, they would not necessarily lose to those professional runners!
This is actually like fishing with a net. You can’t make the net mouth too big, but you can’t make it too small either!
If the net opening is too large, medium-sized fish will escape, but if the net opening is small, innocent fish will be killed indiscriminately!
This is a real, patient and delicate job, so Liu Ruyi must concentrate on it!
~~~~~~
Night gradually fell, and the light snow still lingered. The sky and the earth were covered with a faint layer of white. Between the mountains, mist shrouded, as if there was no sign of life.
In Xiangyouping, in the army camp, a red bonfire has been lit. Around the camp, there are observation towers more than ten feet high. Through the red firelight, you can even see clearly those carrying blunderbuss, bows and arrows.
Figure!
In the center of the camp, the campfire was even brighter, and there was a faint smell of meat.
~~~~~
"Fuck, these official bastards really know how to enjoy themselves! Commander, let's do it!"
On the mountainside south of Xiangyouping, ‘Chuang Tuotian’ couldn’t help but stretch his nose. Apparently, even he was attracted by the smell of meat in the army camp!
Luo Rucai was used to being well-dressed and well-fed, so he didn't feel much. He stared at the army camp closely and said slowly: "Don't worry, wait! When they are full and fall asleep, then we will
Time to take action!”
"Huh?" Chuang Taotian was stunned, but he didn't dare to refute.
Because he knew that although his marshal seemed harmless to humans and animals on weekdays, if he really wanted to argue with him on military issues, the consequences would be simply unimaginable!
Looking at Chuang Taotian's expression, Luo Rucai also knew what he was thinking, and said with a smile: "General, don't worry! After we kill Liu Ruyi, I plan to lay siege to Xiangyang City! By then, the ladies in Xiangyang City will be left alone.
The general will pick a hundred first!"
"Commander, are you serious about this?" Chuang Tuotian was overjoyed. The reason why he pinned his head to his waistband and followed Luo Rucai to work hard was for the future glory of his wife and beautiful woman.
"Haha, we old brothers, how can I still lie to you? Don't be impatient! Don't be impatient! I'm anxious, but I can't eat hot tofu!" Luo Rucai smiled and patted Chuang Tiaotian's shoulder.
Chuang Taotian nodded hurriedly, "Don't worry, Commander, I'll save you the trouble if I take a lower position!"
~~~~~~~~
An hour and a half later, the bonfires in the army camp gradually extinguished, leaving only the firelight on the watchtowers in the four corners of the camp.
Luo Rucai fiercely pulled out the sword from his waist and shouted: "Brothers, take action! The glory and wealth are now!"
"Ouch~~~!" The 15,000 refugee troops around them had been patient for a long time. Under the pie painted by Luo Rucai for them, they were like a group of crazy hungry wolves, going crazy and rushing straight into the official camp.
