Chapter 509 Controlling the magistrate of Longtan Town (1)
Lars asked: "What is General Jiang's strategy?"
Jiang Mu shook his head and said, "I don't have any plans for the time being. I'm just saying what's on my mind."
Yang Xiuqing said: "Jiang Mu's opinion is correct and can be adopted."
"Report."
Suddenly, a shout came from outside the camp. Immediately, a soldier quickly ran in, knelt on the ground and saluted Yang Xiuqing, then clasped his fists and said, "Report to King Dong, Li Zhen's army has disappeared. Like It just disappeared out of thin air, without any news."
"ah,."
Yang Xiuqing exclaimed, with a look of surprise on her face.
At this time, he looked at Lars and started to look at the foreigner. Li Zhen disappeared. Even his plan would fail. Yang Xiuqing was still unwilling to accept it and asked again: "Is it true that there is no clue at all? "
The soldier said: "I reported back to King Dong, but I really can't find him. I can't be sure whether Li Zhen went to Longtan Town, Xia Shu Town, Dongyang Town, or another place."
After hearing this, Yang Xiuqing could only accept this reality.
He dismissed the soldiers kneeling in the tent, his expression became solemn, he looked at Lars, and asked kindly: "Mr. Lars, things are indeed as expected by Mr. Lars. I am not sure about Li Zhen's movements." Yes, now there is no trace of Li Zhen, what does Mr. Lars think?"
Lars thought for a while and said, "There is indeed a way."
Yang Xiuqing stood up in confusion, bowed her head and said, "Please give me some advice, Mr. Lars."
Lars sneered in his heart when he saw this.
This person can bend down to salute and lower his noble head when he needs help from others, but when he doesn't need help, he stands high and unruly, as if everyone owes him. Such a person is definitely not suitable to get along with. However, Lars knew that what he had to do now was to gain a foothold, and said, "Your Excellency, King Dong, I have seen the lions on the grassland."
"Lion."
Yang Xiuqing blinked, showing a look of confusion.
Lars scratched his head and said: "Actually, male lions, well, this is similar to tigers. When they hunt, they must not move. Any movement is a fatal murderous intention. They must take down the prey in one fell swoop. Li Zhen is His Excellency Dong Wang’s prey, if Dong Wang wants to kill Li Zhen, he must not move but move as fast as thunder.”
Yang Xiuqing was confused and said, "Mr. Lars, please elaborate."
Lars said: "As General Jiang said, the current pursuit is too passive. I think the first thing to do is to set up camp and stay here without being disturbed by Li Zhen. Secondly, send soldiers to continuously search for Li Zhen." movements, determine Li Zhen’s whereabouts, and finally determine Li Zhen’s whereabouts, and then look for opportunities to take action, so what we have to do now is to find someone and wait for the opportunity.”
After Yang Xiuqing heard this, he looked at the other generals and asked, "What do you think?"
Jiang Mu was the first to say: "Your Majesty, I finally agree."
Hong Xuanjiao knew that without Li Zhen's trace, it was impossible to kill Li Zhen, so she nodded and said: "I also agree with Mr. Lars's opinion. I won't move for the time being. The main thing is to look for traces of Li Zhen."
Yang Xiuqing said: "Since everyone agrees, let's stay put for now and take action later."
…
There is a mountain near Longtan Town called Goulian Mountain.
This mountain is rolling and is a large-scale mountain group. There are countless towering trees in the mountain, and there are all kinds of prey. The terrain in the mountain is also extremely wide. Li Zhen's army is hidden in this mountain.
At this time, Lu Shaochuan looked at Li Zhen, Huang Qiang and Long Ao in front of him with strange expressions on his face.
The three people in front of me have all changed their attires, and Long Er to Long Shisan have also changed their attires. They are no different from ordinary people of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. However, Li Zhen is wearing the clothes of a businessman. Dressed as businessmen, Long Ao and Huang Qiang were Li Zhen's bodyguards, the people responsible for protecting Li Zhen's safety.
Obviously, Li Zhen, Huang Qiang, Long Ao and the people from the Long Group are going out on a mission.
Lu Shaochuan said worriedly: "Commander, you are taking Long Ao, Huang Qiang and others to Longtan Town. Although there are people protecting your safety, I still feel a little uneasy in my heart."
Li Zhen flicked his sleeves and said with a smile: "We have already heard that Yang Xiuqing led his army to station and did not approach Longtan Town. There is nothing to be afraid of. Our army is hiding in the mountains and let Yang Xiuqing's scouts find it slowly. By the time Yang Xiuqing becomes impatient, our plan has been implemented and we will mobilize Yang Xiuqing when the time comes."
Lu Shaochuan said: "Commander, you must be careful."
"Ok, I know."
Li Zhen nodded, turned around and started walking out.
Lu Shaochuan looked at Long Ao and said, "Old Long, you must protect the commander's safety."
"I'm here, don't worry."
Long Ao nodded and followed Li Zhen.
"Commander, wait a moment."
Suddenly, Lu Shaochuan said again.
Li Zhen stopped and asked, "Is there anything else?"
Lu Shaochuan said: "Since the marshal has brought Captain Huang, why not bring the special forces from the Jian Dao Battalion and let them all disguise themselves and sneak into the city to facilitate the marshal's actions. If the situation in the city changes, it will be Shuai can also mobilize soldiers from the Sharp Blade Battalion to help, what do you think?"
Li Zhen shook his head and said: "Too many people is a bad thing. It is enough to bring the thirteen dragon guards."
Lu Shaochuan nodded and said, "In that case, take care, Commander."
Li Zhen turned around and left, and Huang Qiang followed.
The group of people quickly left the mountain. After Li Zhen and others left, Lu Shaochuan began to order the soldiers in the army to do things to prepare for the next period of time. After all, Lu Shaochuan had a team of two thousand people, and the soldiers had to eat and drink. Lazarus, even if the soldiers in the army have brought weapons and a certain amount of dry food, they will definitely not be able to hold on for too long, so they need to prepare in advance.
All this requires Lu Shaochuan to do it himself.
…
Longtan Town, city gate.
When Li Zhen led a group of people to the city gate, there were soldiers checking at the city gate. However, these inspections were not strict. In addition, the people Li Zhen brought had changed their clothes and appearance, making them inconspicuous, especially The clothes Li Zhen was wearing were not of good quality, so he entered Longtan Town easily.
After entering Longtan Town, I found that the prosperous town had become bleak.
The reason is naturally the impact of the war.
Because Li Zhen was about to attack Longtan Town, many merchants in the city were afraid of being affected by the war, so they took their families and money and left the town. Without the merchants in charge, the city's commerce declined rapidly.
Li Zhen led people to the county government office and stopped outside the county government office.
Huang Qiang walked up and came to the door of the soldier guarding the door and said, "My master has something to see the county magistrate. Please inform me."
After finishing speaking, Huang Qiang took out a piece of silver and handed it to the yamen guard who was guarding the door. The yamen servant got the benefit and immediately went to report it. After a short time, the yamen servant came out, waved his hand and said: "The county magistrate happens to be free, you all can go in."
Li Zhen nodded, strode into the county government office with his men, and walked straight towards the hall.
