Chapter One Hundred and Eight
The two men walked out of the valley and finally came to the main road.
Along the way, Wen Bufan was still wondering how the hairy monster survived.
The two of them inquired all the way, and finally came to Wangjiang, a small town where the counterinsurgency camp was stationed.
Wen Bufan originally thought that the small town of Wangjiang would become a large military camp, but after arriving, he learned that the town was as stable and peaceful as ever.
A large river on the edge of the town flows eastward, and the women of the town are washing their clothes by the river, and bursts of laughter are heard from time to time.
A few children were playing carefree by the river.
"Where is this like another war?" Wen Bufan said.
"There are counter-rebels here, and those rebels will naturally not come here." Saint Xiyue said.
"Yes!" Wen Bufan said.
The Holy Maiden Xiyue walked up to the women who were washing their clothes and asked, "Sisters, how is this counterinsurgency camp going?" ”
"You're going to the rebel camp, it's not here! You don't have to go into the town, follow this big river, continue to play south, and you will see it in half an hour! A woman said.
"Thank you!" After the Holy Maiden Xiyue inquired about the road, she and Wen Bufan continued to walk forward.
Behind him came the voices of the women:
"Look at how good this girl looks like!" A woman said.
"Sister-in-law Zhang, people are wearing veils, you can also see it! Are you looking at other people's husbands and gentlemen, you are embarrassed to praise, so you praise other people's ladies! Another woman quipped.
"Nonsense! That woman must be a girl, my sister-in-law Zhang can still be wrong when she sees this! That's not her Langjun, at least she didn't get married! Sister-in-law Zhang said.
"People don't get married, but sister-in-law, you do!" Another woman teased Sister-in-law Zhang.
"You little prodigal hoof! You dare to make fun of me! Beware of not finding your in-laws! Sister-in-law Zhang scolded with a smile.
Several women laughed happily.
Wen Bufan and the Holy Maiden Xiyue naturally heard the discussions of those women.
The Holy Maiden Xiyue coughed lightly and said, "It seems that I can't walk with you anymore. ”
"Why?" Wen Bufan asked.
The Holy Maiden Xiyue said with a smile: "It will affect your peach blossoms!" ”
Wen Bufan smiled and said, "This, it's nothing!" ”
"Humph!" The Holy Maiden Xiyue glanced at Wen Bufan and led the little monkey forward.
Leaving Wen Bufan floating in the wind, Wen Bufan touched his head, not knowing why the Holy Maiden Xiyue was angry again.
The two of them walked for half an hour, and finally came to the camp of the counterinsurgency army and met Yuan Zhaoyong, the deputy general of the counterinsurgency army.
Yuan Zhaoyong saw Wen Bufan when he was in Beiyue Kingdom, and knew that Wen Bufan had come to the camp, so he hurriedly greeted him, and said while saluting: "I don't know if the king is far away, and there will be something to welcome him in the end, and I hope the king will forgive his sins!" ”
"Get up, armor on your body, no need to be polite!" Wen Bufan said.
Yuan Zhaoyong invited Wen Bufan and the Holy Maiden Xiyue into the big tent of the Chinese army, and hurriedly sent people to call the guerrilla generals, Pei Shuai, Lu Yuanhai, Jiang Lin and other generals to see Wen Bufan.
Wen Bufan looked at the generals in this room, said some words of encouragement, and only left Yuan Zhaoyong behind, and asked, "You tell me about the situation here first." ”
"Yes!" Yuan Zhaoyong said: "The location where our counterinsurgency army is now located is at the intersection of Xigu, Philadelphia, and Qingyuan, and these three places are also the main harassment places of those rebels in the vicinity. To get to all three places, the hussars could reach it in two hours! And the people around these three places have all moved into the city, and the defenders of the city have no problem dying for two hours. ”
Wen Bufan nodded, and then asked, "Then why don't you station your troops in these three cities?" ”
Yuan Zhaoyong said: "The number of our counterinsurgency army is less than 100,000, and there are four or five rebels in the vicinity with tens of thousands of people, and the largest rebel army has nearly 40,000 people, and those rebels often come out to loot together. If we disperse our forces, I am afraid that we will be crushed by those rebels one by one. If all of them are stationed in one city, then those two cities will be lost. Moreover, although most of the people have moved to the city, there are still some people living in the villages, and we have been looking for the location of the rebels! ”
I have to say that it is appropriate to choose this place for the camp, and Wen Bufan said approvingly: "You have done a great job! What about the rebels? ”
"There were more than a dozen of these rebel armies, large and small, the largest of which was commanded by a son of a royal family of the former South Vietnamese State. This man's name is Duan Jinde. It was a distant branch of the royal family, and he was stationed in the western part of Nanyue before, and after we completely captured Nanyue, he led more than 10,000 of his men to flee into the mountains. After our main force left, he came out of the mountains, gathered the old troops, and organized nearly 40,000 men, who once attacked Philadelphia at night and plundered a lot of things. The rebel army's main area of activity was also around Philadelphia. Yuan Zhaoyong said: "The second one is led by Lu Feng, the Taishou of Yancheng, a large town in the south of the former Nanyue Kingdom. This rebel army came from the south, the south of Nanyue is a plain, after our army attacked the south of Nanyue, Yancheng was lost, they had no foothold in the south, so they came to the southwest. There are probably less than 20,000 people in this rebel army, but Lu Feng's 20,000 people are the strongest combat ability among these anti-resistance forces, when Lu Feng came from the south, he brought a lot of money and food, and his troops never plundered ordinary people, only attacked the government, so the place where Lu Feng is located has a good reputation. Those people didn't have any aversion to Lu Feng. Lu Feng's army was stationed in the Qingyuan area. There are also two rebel armies with more than 10,000 people, one is led by Han Chenglin, the former general of the border army of South Vietnam, and it has always been composed of some mountain bandits who have been active here, these mountain bandits were not originally a group, and then after these rebels of South Vietnam came, these mountain bandits were forced to have no way out, so they also raised the banner of the rebel army, and elected a person named Feng Changhai as the leader, although these mountain bandits were forced to gather together due to the situation, but they were also the one with the lowest combat ability among these rebels. It is also the one with the most contradictions, and the number of these two teams is around 10,000. The main areas of activity are in the West Valley area. There has also been some friction between the two rebels. But it didn't cause much trouble. Yuan Zhaoyong said.
"Is Lu Feng's rebel army very popular with the people?" Wen Bufan looked at Yuan Zhaoyong and asked.
Yuan Zhaoyong hesitated for a moment and did not speak.
"You don't have to hesitate, I think Lu Feng's army is not just as simple as the local people are not disgusted, you tell the truth!" Wen Bufan said.
Yuan Zhaoyong had no choice but to say: "Back to the king, Lu Feng's army can be said to be very loved by the people!" ”
"Sure enough, it seems that this Lu Feng is the real opponent!" Wen Bufan said.
