Chapter 429 Lu Meng, the originator of ancient special operations!
Nanyang.
Outside Wuguan.
On the only way to Wancheng.
At this moment, Wuyangyang's soldiers and horses were arranged neatly, and five-color flags were placed in all directions.
The two armies, horse and infantry, have clear formations. The soldiers' armor and stomach are shining, their swords and guns are strong, and they have a sense of awe and domineering.
However, this was not a war, but Xun You, led by Zao Zhi and others, set up a tent to receive food on the way out of Wuguan, preparing to distribute food to the people who had fled from Chang'an.
Look up.
In the middle of the horse and infantry armies, twenty porridge sheds were lined up in sequence. There were more than ten workers in each porridge shed, cooking two large pots of corn porridge. There were also ten people responsible for serving porridge to the people.
The aroma of corn porridge can be smelled for miles away.
In the queue, Xun You pinched a strand of beard under his chin and turned to look at Jia Xu beside him: "Wen He, are your people ready? This is our last chance."
"rest assured."
Jia Xu was full of confidence and said with absolute certainty: "Jianfeng, there are more than 500 pawns, more than the enemies on the list. Even if one person targets one, it is enough to deal with it."
"kindness."
Xun You finally calmed down and said softly: "Since Wen He is confident, I can rest assured. I think Yuan Wei is almost at Wuguan. We also need to hurry up here."
Jia Xu nodded and said, "Don't worry, Xun Lingjun. As long as we find their lair, the army will follow immediately and we will ensure that no thief will be let go."
"good."
Xun You said with a smile: "By cooperating with Wen He, Xun can feel at ease."
At this moment, a war horse came from Juechen in front, looking at it as his own scout: "Retribution—!"
When he rode his horse forward, before he could speak, he was interrupted by Xun He: "Are there any common people coming?"
The scout leaned forward and handed over his hand: "Yes, the first group of people have already left Wuguan. The officials along the way are guiding them. No one will be missed. Please rest assured, Xun Lingjun."
"very good!"
Xun You nodded with satisfaction and waved his hand: "Continue to inquire."
The scout nodded: "Here."
Immediately.
He rode his horse and turned around to leave the porridge shed.
About half an hour later, the first group of people arrived at the porridge factory.
Their faces were full of shock, their noses trembled slightly, and they sniffed the aroma of corn porridge in the air. Their faces showed unconcealable joy, and some even exclaimed and praised loudly:
"It's really corn porridge, it's really corn porridge. Your Majesty didn't lie, and the officials along the way didn't lie. Not only can we receive food, but we can also have a full meal."
"Hahahaha, folks, come on, Nanyang, I, Chen Ergou, are here! I, Chen Ergou, are finally here! From now on, you no longer have to worry about food!"
"Dad, let's go. It's really corn porridge. I can already smell the aroma of corn porridge. Your decision was right. It doesn't matter if the journey is far. As long as you can get to Nanyang, it's worth it."
"Mom, I want to drink corn porridge. I really want to drink corn porridge. I haven't had a full meal in several days. Let's go to the porridge factory quickly. I'm almost starving to death."
"Okay, okay, let's go. Let's go quickly. You are all not full. Today, His Majesty is serving porridge. Let's eat it. Then we will get food stamps and go to the government to register our information."
"Let's go, let's eat corn porridge."
"I can finally have a full meal."
"Wow! I'm so touched."
"Long live your Majesty!"
"..."
Looking at the masses of people coming in like a tidal wave, Xun You felt his scalp numb.
Fortunately, he was prepared in advance and sent troops to maintain the order of receiving porridge. It might not be long before these twenty porridge factories were overwhelmed by the huge wave of enthusiasm of the people.
It seems like just a blink of an eye!
Hundreds of people were already holding bowls and drinking steaming corn porridge. Some people even drank a bowl and continued to line up to drink another bowl. Their eyes were filled with the desire for a happy life. hope.
"The porridge served by the Nanyang court is so thick, let alone the livelihood of the common people. I heard that every household has a surplus of food, and they can also eat fresh fish."
"The life of the people in Nanyang is good. When I was in Chang'an before, I had never even tasted such thick porridge. But when I look at the Nanyang court, the porridge served is so fragrant."
"Wow! It's really delicious. It's really delicious. This is the best corn porridge I've ever tasted. Hurry up and queue up again. I want another bowl."
"The Nanyang Imperial Court is really too open and bright. Long live His Majesty Nanyang!"
“It’s really wise to come to Nanyang this time.”
"..."
A full half hour.
Just now, some people came out of the porridge factory, patted their round bellies, walked to the registration office at the back with a smile, handed over their food stamps, and said with a smile:
"Sir, can you get food here? Our family of six can get six buckets of food. These are the food stamps for our whole family, and they are all here."
"Oh, okay."
The staff member took the food stamp, carefully checked the information on it, and glanced up at the woman: "It seems that your family members are not all here. Is there an accident or something?"
"no!"
The woman hurriedly shook her head and waved her hands, denying repeatedly: "Nothing happened, it's just that my father and my husband haven't finished eating yet, so I guess he won't be able to come over until later."
"Oh, so that's it."
Only then did the staff understand. He nodded slowly and said, "In that case, let's collect your food first, and then wait for your men to come over, and then it's not too late to collect their own food."
"good."
The woman nodded quickly: "It'll be good if you can get food."
The staff member picked up a pen and started recording: "Name."
The woman replied: "Li Nier."
"age."
"Twenty-four."
"Do you have any special talents?"
"Huh? I can tailor clothes, does that count?"
"certainly!"
"I can also raise chickens and ducks, and I'm very good at raising them."
"Well, that's not bad."
"..."
After the staff recorded all the information one by one, they said: "Okay, you can collect your own food. Then there will be a carriage to pick you up. There is a temporary residence there to facilitate everyone's accommodation."
The woman was very excited: "Seriously?"
The staff nodded: "Of course."
"That's really great."
"That's not the case. Maybe you have special talents and you can even assign jobs. Depending on the workload, you can earn a certain amount of commission to support your family."
"Still...give me the assigned work?"
"Not necessarily, but it's possible. If you, like me, are good at tailoring, I might ask you to make winter clothes. Then the court will be responsible for purchasing them, and you can earn a commission."
"Okay, okay! That's great."
"Oh right."
Just as the woman was getting excited, the staff picked up one of the food stamps and asked, "Does this food stamp belong to your family?"
"this......"
The woman hesitated for a long time and did not dare to answer.
The staff immediately noticed something fishy and said directly: "Sister, if the court finds out that someone pretends to be someone else's food, all the food will be confiscated and even deported back to their place of origin. You have to think carefully before answering.
.”
The woman was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly waved her hand and said: "Master, you can't do this. These food stamps are not ours, we picked them up on the road."
"Picked it up?"
"kindness."
"really?"
"Yes, it's absolutely true."
"Okay, I understand, you can go get the food."
"Thank you, sir."
After the woman left, the staff member immediately whispered to the people around him: "Report this situation to Xun Lingjun quickly and let him make a decision as soon as possible."
The man leaned forward and raised his hands: "Here."
Immediately.
He left directly and went straight to Xunhe.
At this moment, Xun was chatting with Jia Xu, discussing the next action.
The man suddenly came and reported the situation to Xun or.
However......
Xun Or just nodded and then waved his hand to dismiss them. He turned to look at Jia Xu: "Wen He, what you guessed has happened. Some of the people hiding among them have lost their food stamps."
Jia Xu frowned, pinched a strand of beard under his chin, and called to the people around him: "Fa Zheng."
Fa Zheng stepped forward and bowed his head: "Chang Shi, what are your orders?"
Jia Xu said softly: "If you pass on the order, you must keep an eye on those people who have not received food, especially the able-bodied people. You must not miss them."
Fazheng nodded: "Here."
These situations were all within Jia Xu's expectations, so no matter what happened, he already had a way to deal with it. This was the only way to truly control the overall situation.
Xun You, who was opposite, smiled and raised his hand towards Jia Xu: "It's really easy to work with Wen and you. His Majesty's eyes are so vicious that he can actually search for you among millions of people."
"well-!"
At this point, Jia Xu shook his head, sighed, and said softly: "To be honest, I still haven't been able to figure out how your Majesty selected me."
"perhaps......"
Xun You pinched a strand of goatee under his chin and said with great interest: "This must be the fate between Wen He and Nanyang. Just like when I took refuge with His Majesty, they have the same purpose but the same purpose."
Jia Xudan smiled: "Oh? According to Wen Ruo, you have no choice but to seek refuge with His Majesty?"
Xun You said softly: "It should be said that if I don't join His Majesty, Your Majesty will make me a subordinate. He has even sent Shi'a to keep an eye on me to prevent me from leaving the Han family."
"Is this happening?"
Jia Xu was shocked.
"kindness."
Xun You nodded and said, "But now, I am very lucky to have been chosen by His Majesty. Otherwise, it would have been difficult to witness the great cause of the resurgence of the powerful Han Dynasty, and it would be even harder to witness the great Han Dynasty's glory again."
Jia Xu deeply agreed and nodded slowly: "Yes, your Majesty is indeed extraordinary. I believe that in the near future, he will surpass Emperor Qin and Emperor Wu of Han and become the greatest emperor in history."
"That's right."
Xun You said vigorously: "Xun is convinced of this."
Jia Xudan smiled: "It's the same for me."
"..."
The two of them chatted sometimes and not.
Before I knew it, it was dusk and the sun was setting.
Fa Zheng stepped forward and bowed his head: "Chang Shi, all the numbers on the list have appeared before, but nine times out of ten, they were all picked up by someone, which proves that the person has doubts about it."
"kindness."
Jia Xu nodded and said softly: "You continue."
Fazheng continued again: "Judging from the current feedback from the pawns and Tingfeng, those people should not have lied. They are innocent. The real assassins have never been to the porridge factory."
“Let’s look at the long history.”
Fa Zheng stepped forward and unfolded the map he carried with him: "There is only one official road from Wuguan to Porridge Factory. Since they did not enter the Porridge Factory, they must have hidden themselves in the mountains and forests."
"here!"
"And here!"
Fazheng pointed out on the map: "The most likely possibility is that I have already sent out soldiers in disguise to conduct reconnaissance. Please rest assured, Chief Shi, if you have any instructions, just say it."
During this period of time, Jia Xu has been devoted to cultivating Fa Zheng. From the initial incompatibility to the flexible application now, Fa Zheng has learned very quickly and has now become Jia Xu's right-hand man.
"kindness."
Jia Xu nodded: "Your analysis is very comprehensive. This place is indeed very suspicious. Where is the army, are they ready?"
Fazheng handed over his hand and said: "Don't worry, Chang Shi, Lu Meng has led the troops and is ready to go at any time."
"good."
Jia Xu relaxed completely.
He felt that his lazy gene would be completely released soon.
Guo Jia was right. If he were not around, it would be no problem for Fazheng to take over this work. This person is a genius, especially his logical thinking, which is extremely rigorous. Compared with himself, he is even worse.
"Then just wait for the news."
Jia Xu had nothing to add, so he breathed a sigh of relief and said softly.
After a while, news came back.
The soldier hurriedly stepped forward, bowed and raised his hands, saying: "Jia Changshi, Xun Lingjun, we have news."
Xun was even more anxious than Jia Xu and asked first, "Oh? How about it?"
The soldier replied: "They are hiding in the Funiu Mountains in the east from Wuguan. There are about 200 troops, and they are all stationed near Yuquangang."
"Yuquangang?"
Jia Xu's eyes quickly fell on the map. After searching carefully, he found: "Here!"
Xun You was amazed: "It really is a secret place, they would hide here."
Jia Xu said softly: "This proves that they still have assassins in Nanyang that we haven't discovered, but this time, even Yuan Wei can't protect himself. Even if these guys can persist until now, it doesn't make any sense."
"It won't be too late."
Xun, perhaps impatient, turned to glance at Jia Xu: "Wen He, it's up to you to arrest these people."
Jia Xu nodded slowly and said nonchalantly: "They are just a bunch of little bastards. They are our opponents. Don't worry. We will deal with this person as soon as the people are settled."
"good."
Xun or handed over his hand: "In that case, I will leave this matter to Wen He."
Jia Xu bowed his head and returned the gift: "Don't worry, this matter is easy to hear and not worth mentioning."
Immediately.
Jia Xu turned around and glanced at Fazheng: "Quickly send soldiers to monitor Yuquangang. Once there is news, report it immediately. After half an hour, Lu Meng's troops and horses will be mobilized to rush to Yuquangang."
Fazheng leaned forward and cupped his hands and said: "Don't worry, Chang Shi, I can just leave this matter to you."
Yuquangang.
It got its name because there is a spring in the hill.
There were people living here originally.
However, because the imperial court wanted to centralize the management of the people, they moved them together. As a result, Yuquangang declined and lost its popularity, but it did provide these guys with a certain degree of privacy.
Being able to choose this place is enough to prove that Nanyang's assassination took a lot of thought, but it is a pity that their every move has already been under Jia Xu's surveillance, and there is no way to hide it.
It's night.
The moon and stars are sparse.
Lü Meng led a group of elite soldiers and horses and rushed to Yuquangang at midnight.
When people were outside, they met Fazheng, who was responsible for the response: "Brother Fazheng, how is the situation?"
Fa Zhengen nodded: "Don't worry, we haven't been exposed yet!"
Lu Meng breathed a sigh of relief: "As long as it's not exposed, do we have any requirements?"
Fazheng said softly: "It's best to annihilate them all. Even if they can't annihilate them all, at least half of them should be killed."
"no problem."
Lu Meng nodded without hesitation: "This time I brought two thousand soldiers and horses to surround this small village. There will definitely be no problem. The only thing that may go wrong is the opponent's hidden sentry."
Even normal military camps will have light and dark sentries to prevent accidents, not to mention the situation of camping behind enemy lines, where you need to be more careful.
Therefore, Lu Meng concluded that the opponent must have light and dark sentries, and no matter how different the direction, there would be several or even dozens of light and dark sentries. Once one place was exposed, it would affect the whole body.
If this is true, it may not take long for the enemy to react and flee into the mountains and forests in the shortest possible time. If this happens, it will be impossible to capture him in a short period of time.
Even if Nanyang wins this battle, this group of soldiers and horses wandering in the deep mountains and old forests will probably gather together in the future to cause harm to Wuguan and even to the countryside.
Lu Meng is under a lot of pressure!
Fazheng said softly: "Don't worry, Tingfeng has been holding a telescope and observing the enemy's situation along the way. He has already mastered the position of his light and dark sentries. You can break through from this way."
After saying this, Fa Zheng took out a sketch he had drawn from the cloth bag on the side and gave it to Lu Meng, saying, "You must have learned special tactics, right?"
"kindness."
Lu Meng nodded affirmatively: "Don't worry, as long as we have the general direction of the light and dark sentries, we will do the rest. We have all undergone nighttime visibility training, so this matter will not be difficult for us."
"good."
Fazheng secretly breathed a sigh of relief: "Then I'll leave it to you."
Lu Meng took the sketch drawn by Fa Zheng and immediately led others to study it and conduct combat drills.
Although the conditions in ancient times were a bit crude, Lu Meng's crossing the river in white clothes can be regarded as the earliest special operations. It not only included disguised infiltration, disguised reconnaissance, and even silent combat, etc.
Therefore, in this era, Liu Bian gave them training in special operations thinking at a very early stage, including special operations sign language, formation, cover, reconnaissance, etc.
Lu Meng already had combat experience and had learned special operations, so he was deeply impressed by it. He quickly completed the assignment of combat missions and personally led some capable soldiers to sneak into Yuquangang to fight.
About half an hour later.
Woo—
A long wolf howl sounded.
This is the signal that Lu Meng successfully solved the light and dark whistle.
Fa Zheng was in a great mood and couldn't help but praise: "You are indeed a student of the Young Genius Class, well done! Soldiers, rush towards Yuquan Gang and take advantage of the enemy's confusion in the lake to attack them as quickly as possible.
It's surrounded."
Although this group of people are elite soldiers, they have also experienced many days of long journeys in Wuguan Road, and they are already exhausted. After leaving Wuguan Road today, they naturally need to take a good rest.
This is one of the main reasons why Fazheng wants to kill him tonight. When they think they have won and are letting down their guard, they want to kill him.
now.
Outside Yuquangang Village.
Two exhausted soldiers were yawning and looking into the dark night. They said softly: "I didn't expect that this kind of enemy would have wolves. Hey, hey, cheer up. Be careful. The wolf is coming and will eat you."
Lose."
"Where is the wolf?"
Another soldier opened his sleepy eyes and glanced at his comrades beside him: "Don't scare yourself, okay? This used to be a village. If there were wolves, how could they dare to live here?"
"But......"
The soldier said with absolute certainty: "There was indeed a wolf howling just now."
Another soldier snorted: "Where is it? Why didn't I hear it? Besides, even if there is a wolf, it won't stop barking once. Why can't it call three or five times?"
"Ah, this..."
The two of them suddenly realized something, their sleepiness disappeared suddenly, and they suddenly woke up: "Could it be..."
Whoosh! Whoosh!
In the dark night, two divine arrows roared out.
One to the left and one to the right, impartially, right in the middle of the two men on duty at the door.
The two of them fell down in response, with trickles of blood gushing out. They watched helplessly as a large wave of soldiers and horses rushed out of the darkness: "The enemy is attacking! The enemy is attacking! Everyone, hurry...hurry..."
The soldier shouted with all his strength, but what he didn't know was that his voice was getting smaller and smaller, so small that only he could hear it, and even the fighting man lying beside him couldn't hear it.
"kill-!"
A shout of death shook the sky.
Wuyangyang's soldiers and horses all entered Yuquangang.
Lu Meng gave the order without hesitation: "Marquis Wang Jun and Marquis Li will lead people to circle left and right and surround the village. The rest of the people will follow me in. Don't let a single enemy go. There are no ordinary people here anymore."
All the soldiers shouted in unison: "Here."
Now.
Lu Meng was holding a strong bow, with the arrow missing already on the string. His bright eyes were like stars, and he was always alert to the movements in the village. As long as someone showed up, he would immediately be struck and killed by the missing arrow.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Lu Meng fired one after another, constantly harvesting the heads of enemy soldiers, and his own soldiers rushed forward quickly to kill the traitors in the same way.
At present, the training of soldiers and horses in Nanyang is already an integrated training of infantry. They are both crossbowmen and infantry, and they can also fight on horseback, which is considered the basis of some cavalry.
Especially the crossbow, which is one of the compulsory training and examination subjects, they are very serious about it. Even if they don't miss the arrows within thirty or fifty steps, the hit rate is astonishingly high.
More than half of the hundreds of people in Yuquangang were killed before they were even ready to fight. The rest of the soldiers saw that something was not going well, so they fled out of the village and entered the mountains and forests to survive.
But......
"General, it's bad, the village has been surrounded, we have no way out."
"Damn it! What happened to the light and dark whistle? Why is there no movement at all?"
