Lin'an City was quickly captured by Shang Kexi, which was definitely something that no one expected. Shang Kexi was naturally very excited. After Tie Mo, Xu Zhixin and others entered the city, they couldn't wait to greet them, "Supervisor, General Xing
He lived up to his command and captured Lin'an City."
Shang Kexi's voice was excited as he spoke, his eyes looking deeply at Tie Mo. Tie Mo hung one hand in the air and twitched the corner of his mouth, "Thank you for your hard work, General Shang. General Shang can take a good rest next."
"Ah?" Shang Kexi's face trembled, and he was a little confused. He was only thinking about taking the opportunity to make a name for himself. The bandits were driven out of Lin'an City, and Gao Yingxiang and Li Zicheng's main army also withdrew soon. It was time to take advantage of the courage.
Why are you still resting after chasing the poor? I was puzzled, and naturally I was a little unhappy, "Superintendent, that's not possible. You promised me to have an elite army, and I will promise to remove one of Gao Yingxiang's arms."
Shang Kexi was about to say something, but Geng Zhongming in the crowd winked at him. Tie Mo didn't say much, and waited until he took people to Lin'an Old Palace before Shang Kexi dragged Geng Zhongming who was following behind.
He asked in a low voice: "Brother Geng, what is going on?"
Geng Zhongming looked around and saw that no one was paying attention here, so he patted Shang Kexi on the shoulder and said: "You are too impatient. You don't even think about it. The traitors have just withdrawn and Yu Qian has not yet established a stable foothold. It is the pursuit."
In the good times, who wouldn’t understand such a simple thing? Why don’t you, the Superintendent, and Mr. Wang understand it? The Superintendent asked all the troops to rest in Lin’an City, and was not in a hurry to recruit potential troops. He obviously had other arrangements.”
"Besides, what can you do if you chase me? Do you think the thieves will give you a chance? The thieves have suffered losses in Yuhang and other places before and lost a lot of supplies. They don't want to make the same mistake again. So, even if you
If you want to fight, the bandits will not give you a chance. We can only wait now. There is no need to fight on Yu Qian's side, the bandits will come out. I think the supervisor must want to let the bandits leave and wait until they are in a suitable place.
Take action."
Geng Zhongming is extremely intelligent and has always had a unique vision. Shang Kexi still trusts him very much. After thinking about it, he wondered: "According to your thoughts, where do you think the supervisor will take action?"
"According to my opinion, coupled with the recent mobilization of troops and troops in the capital camp, it is estimated that the commander will have a showdown with the bandits in Chizhou Prefecture." Geng Zhongming frowned slightly, his expression became a little serious, "The lake in Chizhou Prefecture
There are relatively few and there are many flat areas, so it is the most suitable place to use cavalry in this area. Starting the battle in Chizhou Prefecture can maximize our advantages."
Recently, Geng Zhongming has had a profound experience. The Yunfu cavalry traveling across the north is like a little daughter-in-law with bound feet when they arrive in the south of the Yangtze River. Don't look at Jiaxing Prefecture, Yuhang and the area can actually defeat the bandits.
They relied on the mobilization of troops and horses to gain the upper hand. In fact, there were very few direct attacks, which meant that the casualties suffered by the bandits were not too great. Geng Zhongming also knew that the real purpose of the Xuanfu army coming to South Zhili was to make money.
But if you don't beat the bandits to pain, it is almost impossible to scrape a few kilograms of flesh from the bandits. The bandits entered South Zhili, burned, killed and looted, and most of the supplies they obtained were in the hands of Gao Yingxiang's headquarters.
I still have it in my hand. The ones seized before were only small amounts.
After listening to Geng Zhongming's words, Shang Kexi also gave up the idea of continuing to pursue. If Geng Zhongming hadn't said anything, he really wouldn't have been able to see through the doorway here. At this time, Tie Mo, Xu Zhixin and Wang Zuogao were discussing the next step.
Specific plans.
It can be said that Shang Ke is happy to capture Lin'an City too early, which is not good news for Tie Mo's overall plan. According to the plan, the army should stay in Lin'an for two days. As long as Lin'an is not broken, Gao Yingxiang and others will stay in Qian for two more days.
God. In these extra two days, the Beijing camp and Cao Wenzhao stationed in Qianshan, Anqing Prefecture, can do a lot of things.
But now that Lin'an City has been taken down prematurely, even if he does nothing, Gao Yingxiang of Qian City will not stay in the city honestly. If he were Gao Yingxiang, he would definitely take advantage of the fact that Xuanfu's soldiers and horses are not yet available.
Come, evacuate Hangzhou Prefecture as soon as possible and return to the Central Plains. After all, Lin'an City is no longer yours, why should you stay in the Yuqian area and wait to be beaten by others?
Wang Zuogao was holding tea, his forehead wrinkled into the Chinese character "Sichuan". This was the first time he had a headache because of a victory in the battle. He blamed himself for not telling Shang Kexiyou to take it easy before. But what had happened had happened, and he had to find a way to make up for it.
Okay, "Supervisor, Mr. Xu and our people have not yet arrived at the scheduled location. Moreover, judging from the situation, Gao Yingxiang will not stay in the Yuqian area. It is estimated that he will set off to evacuate Yuqian soon. For now.
The best plan is to send a force of troops and horses to stop the rogue bandits."
Tie Mo nodded bitterly. Everything in Jiangnan was good, but it was not good for the cavalry. If this place was like the prairie in the north, the cavalry could be allowed to do their best. All he had to do was wave his hand, and the cavalry would pounce on him. See if Gao Yingxiang could survive.
Do you dare to retreat boldly? Unfortunately, this poor place is full of potholes, rivers and lakes, soft fields, and mountains and hills everywhere. If the cavalry pursues them all the way, it will be like killing themselves all the way.
Xu Hongji's soldiers and horses as well as his own secret chess are of great use and cannot be mobilized easily. After thinking about it, the only thing that can be mobilized is to lead one soldier and horse. "Find a way to tell Cao Cao about the situation here."
Commander-in-Chief, it’s up to Commander-in-Chief Cao whether he can stop the bandits next.”
Xu Zhixin looked worried. She had never dealt with Cao Wenzhao and those people, so naturally she couldn't trust them. "Superintendent, can General Cao and the others do it? You have to know that if they can't complete the task, once they let the bandits go,
If we escape back to the Central Plains, it will be difficult to trap the bandits again."
"Young lady, you can rest assured that Commander Cao's ability can still be trusted. I believe Commander Cao will be able to find a way!" Tie Mo has known Cao Wenzhao for a long time and is well aware of Cao Wenzhao's abilities.
Soon after, an urgent official document was sent to Qianshan County in Anqing Prefecture. By the end of the first month of the first month, Qianshan County had already shown signs of warming. Unlike the situation with Tiemo, since Cao Cao captured Qianshan County,
Wen Zhao ordered all the troops to stay in Qianshan County, and the soldiers and horses stayed in Qianshan, eating and drinking, and they were very leisurely. Sometimes, Qin Liangyu wondered whether he was here to fight or to enjoy.
However, an official document completely broke the good days of all the troops. Cao Wenzhao pinched the official document and suddenly felt a little worried. The matter was serious, so he called Qin Liangyu and Zhao Lijiao over, "You two, according to the planned plan
, our army should go south to Wangjiang in three days, turn to the northeast, and stop the rogue bandits in Chizhou Prefecture. But now, the rogue bandits have evacuated earlier than scheduled, and we may not be able to follow the previous method. "
"How the battle in Chizhou Prefecture ends this time will determine how much we can get in the end. We must fight this battle well! I wonder what the two generals think?" Cao Wenzhao already had an idea in his mind, but
He was cautious by nature and wanted to hear the opinions of Zhao Shujiao and Qin Liangyu.
Knowing that the plan might fail, Qin Liangyu was most anxious. She could use this battle to gain more benefits to alleviate the disaster in Sichuan and Sichuan. For this reason, she even left Sun Chuanting aside and offended six cabinet ministries. This would allow the rogue bandits to retreat easily.
If she goes out, wouldn't she suffer a big loss? So, she said anxiously: "What else is there to discuss? At this time, we have no way to turn back. No matter what, we have to stop the bandits from Chizhou."
The way to the north of the capital. In my opinion, if it doesn't work, we will attack Anqing. As long as Anqing is in our hands, we can enter Chizhou Palace at any time."
Zhao Lejiao and Qin Liangyu had almost the same idea. He nodded and said seriously: "Yes, for the current plan, we can only attack Anqing. If we make a detour, we may not have enough time. Although Anqing is heavily guarded, He Yishan
The defense has been strengthened recently, but if we can work together and make some arrangements, it is not impossible to capture Anqing City in a short time."
Seeing what Zhao Lejiao and Qin Liangyu said, Cao Wenzhao nodded secretly in his heart. He was afraid that the opinions of these two people were different from his own. Since they had the same ideas, the next step would be easy, "Cao's idea
The same is true. As long as Anqing City can be captured, all problems can be easily solved. Moreover, according to my observation, although Anqing City is easy to defend and difficult to attack, we do not have no chance."
Zhao Shujiao couldn't help but be curious and asked doubtfully: "General Cao, do you already have an idea?"
"Well, Anqing City is heavily guarded. If we want to break through by force and capture it in a short time, it's not impossible, but the casualties may not be acceptable to us. However, we can find a way outside Anqing City. He Yishan can say
It is extremely stable. In order to ensure the safety of Anqing City, we not only built the city wall, but also set up more than a dozen temporary camps around Anqing City to serve as an early warning. As long as we use troops in any direction, the outer camps will move towards Anqing City.
By giving a warning, Anqing City will have enough time to react. This makes it impossible for us to sneak attack on Anqing City, and it becomes a fantasy to break through Anqing City in a short time!"
At this point, Cao Wenzhao paused and continued: "He Yishan's arrangement can be said to have added a buffer zone to Anqing City. I have to say that this trick is very clever. However, any trick in this world is better.
There is a way to crack it. He Yishan is very confident in his arrangement, so he dares to hide in Anqing City and sleep. But we can use this to surprise Anqing City."
Qin Liangyu frowned. She listened for a long time, but she couldn't think of a good idea. "General Soldier Cao, don't show off. How should we fight? Qin has a headache. The defensive strength of the surrounding camps is not very good.
But as soon as we move, they will alert Anqing City, which is very annoying."
"General Qin, don't worry," he gestured and asked Cao Bianjiao to spread the map on the table. He pointed at one of the places and said, "Look, you two, this is Huilin Town. There is a distance between the camps on both sides of Huilin Town.
This is our opportunity. As long as we can capture Huilin Town quietly and prevent the thieves from Huilin Town from warning Anqing City, then we have a great chance of sneak attack on Anqing."
Seeing the confusion on the faces of Qin Liangyu and Zhao Shujiao, Cao Wenzhao asked several people to come over and explain it in detail.
Night has enveloped this land, and the small town of Huilin is peaceful and peaceful. Huilin Town is a very small town, with only more than a hundred households in the town. However, since Anqing City was occupied by rogue bandits, the people in the town
He escaped. At present, Huilin Town was occupied by more than 200 bandits. There was a small military camp in the town, and there was a man guarding the gate at the entrance of the village.
In the second half of the first lunar month, the weather began to get warmer, but the wind here in Anqing Prefecture was still quite strong, especially at night, when the whooshing cold wind blew against my ears. Except for the gatekeepers and patrollers, the other bandits had already fallen asleep. At the end of Haishi, a group of patrols
The soldier walked through the street. A team of more than a dozen people walked slowly. The man at the front complained softly, "I don't know what the use is of patrolling this poor place. Are we guarding against thieves?"
The leader of the team turned around and shouted in a deep voice: "Stop talking nonsense, it's our turn to patrol, so you can stay there."
Walking through another street, someone behind the team suddenly squatted down, holding his stomach. Seeing this, the leader of the team quickly gathered around with the others, "Xiao Zizi, how are you?"
The man named Xiaozizi was hunched over, sweating on his forehead, and shivering all over, "My stomach hurts...I don't know what's going on...I..."
Before he finished speaking, Coyotito fell to the ground, foaming at the corners of his mouth, his whole body twitching even more violently, and he could not speak.
What's going on? The leader of the team was panicking. He was about to pick up Coyotito, but he saw other people in the team falling to the ground one after another, holding their stomachs. Many people were foaming at the mouth and even humming.
I no longer have the energy to hum.
No, this is poisoning. Everyone in the team has been poisoned. Doesn’t that mean that the other brothers in Huilin Town are also the same? Just as he was about to get up, the leader of the team felt a sharp pain in his abdomen like a knife. It was over, and he was also poisoned.
.
While he was still conscious and able to control himself, he shuddered and wiped it away from his waist. He held a loud arrow in his hand and was about to press it when an arrow flew down the wind in the darkness. With a pop, the team
His head lay heavily on the ground in shock, blood seeped out from his forehead, and the loud arrow in his hand slowly fell to the ground.
In the darkness, several men walked out quietly and looked at the loud arrow in the leader's hand. One of them sighed with palpitations: "It was so dangerous that we almost missed the patrol team. If this loud arrow went up to the sky, then...
Our brothers’ heads are about to be moved.”
For tonight's operation, Cao Wenzhao and others issued a death order. If they cannot quietly capture Huilin Town, everyone involved in the operation will not end well.
Fortunately, the leader of the team was killed at the last moment. At this time, the entire Huilin Town felt unusually quiet, even a little strange. Some rooms had doors and windows open, but the people in the rooms were lying around, looking like they were dead.
It was basically the same, almost all of them had their necks wiped.
During the ugly time, the quiet town of Huilin suddenly became lively. The sound of fighting could be heard in the distance, and at the same time, a loud arrow shot into the sky, arousing the nervousness of Anqing City.
