After listening to Wang Hongzhi's words, Suning thought for a while, and decided to let Wang Hongzhi go down to rest and eat some food first, after Wang Hongzhi left, Cui Xiaoyi walked out from behind the screen and said to Suning: "Erlang, this matter is not trivial, we must be cautious and cautious, once this kind of thing is planned, then we will die without a place to be buried!" ”

Suning nodded, squinted his eyes and thought about it, and asked, "Sir, do you think that Wang Hongzhi's words can be believed?" ”

Cui Xiaoyi said: "Xia Guan has been observing his eyes behind the screen, looking at his appearance, I feel that he doesn't look like he is lying, there is a difference between a person who tells a lie and a person who tells the truth, something else can be pretended, but the eyes can never be pretended, the old slave is deeply touched by this, and according to what he said, the Wang family has written a prayer and a blood book to sacrifice to the ancestors, once betrayed, it is really not a good death, and if you go down, you will not get the tolerance of the ancestors......"

Speaking of this, Cui Xiaoyi seemed to think of something, paused, and said with a bitter smile: "Just like the old slave, even if you don't hesitate to betray your ancestors, you have to keep a trace of blood, if this person's request is to leave his own life, it must be to deceive Su Hou, but his request is to kill him It doesn't matter, but to leave the lives of his children, it seems that this person has the will to die and has no intention of living, so this person's words, there is an eighty percent probability that it can be believed." ”

Suning smiled and said, "Sir, why worry, if Mr.'s ancestors don't accept Mr., then Mr. will be buried with me, I accept Mr." ”

Cui Xiaoyi smiled and said, "Hehe." Erlang is very kind, the old slave can't repay it, but for this matter, you still need to think carefully! ”

Suning stood up and said, "Sir, do you know how sure I was when I decided to do something to the Shandong Shi clan?" ”

Cui Xiaoyi was puzzled: "Eighty? ”

Suning shook his head.

Cui Xiaoyi said tentatively again: "Seventy? ”

Suning smiled and said, "Fifty percent." ”

Cui Xiaoyi was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized and said with a smile: "That." Jiro decided to believe this man's words? ”

Suning nodded and said, "Why don't you believe it?" You've said that it's 80% true. So, let's just let it go, anyway, it's going to be a battle, so let's see who can win this battle. But. The only thing that worries me. It's Rengui's side, we may not be able to catch up, and he should have already started his return journey. He was also worried about this, if that Xiangyang County Commander really said that, Rengui would definitely choose to take the waterway.

But he is surrounded by northern soldiers, he can swim, but he doesn't understand water warfare, once he is really in distress on the water, he will definitely lose, is there any way we can stop those people's actions? It's too late to stop Rengui when we rush to Xiangyang now, so sir, what should we do? ”

Cui Xiaoyi thought for a moment and said: "In this case, we must prepare for the aftermath, since General Xue can't stop it by water, then why don't we plan and set a trap?" The old slave Jian yì, immediately sent Wang Hongzhi to Jingzhou, if he went over, it would not arouse the suspicion of others, let him find Jingzhou Thorn Shi and General Youxiaowei, let them unite to take down the group of people in Xiangyang County, and then ask the Xiangyang Navy Division to send troops and chase after General Xue's road.

In addition, please Yangzhou Navy General Zhang immediately send troops, tracing the river, also all the way to the Lujiang River, across the Lujiang River and continue to the west, until the discovery of General Xue's fleet, and regardless of whether General Xue's fleet was attacked at that time, to go to the rescue, once General Xue encountered a thief sneak attack, it will definitely not be able to win, General Xue is not through the water war, will be defeated, and the ships are precious money and goods, very little.

In addition, please go east along the north bank of the river, follow the pace of General Xue's fleet, and immediately inform General Xue after catching up with the fleet, so that he can stop the ship and dock as soon as possible to get help, and also ask the Meiling garrison to send troops to the north and track General Xue's fleet all the way along the south coast of the Yangtze River, no matter which army finds General Xue's fleet first, it is good, but in case General Xue's fleet is attacked before that, we will be very passive.

Erlang, the only problem now is that we can't grasp the timing well, if General Xue is attacked before the reinforcements arrive, then the situation will be very bad, even if General Xue's fleet is still resisting when we arrive, then it is okay, in case it is breached, General Xue is unfortunately killed or defeated, all the ship, money and goods are obtained by the thief army, then it will be bad, the most important thing in this battle is not to completely annihilate the enemy army, but to keep the money and General Xue. ”

Suning nodded and said: "You are right, do it like this, as for the question of timing, let's bet, I believe that this fortune is on the side of my Datang, no matter what, we have to gamble, in addition, Shi Haochen is going to attack me, right?" Very good, let him come, let him attack me, I will also set up a trap for him, let a part of the soldiers and horses of the Meiling garrison come to Lujiang and prepare to set up an ambush, and ask General Zhang Liang to send a part of the navy to land and fight, go to Langya, destroy the Wang family's lair, and cut off its roots! ”

Cui Xiaoyi bowed: "Erlang is wise! ”

Suning waved his hand and said, "It's better not to say this kind of thing, who knows if we can win?" Not to mention whether we can survive or not, let's just say that if the money and goods are looted, the agreement we reached with Jiangdong will be over, however, the lack of money can be made up, I think the imperial court only has so much savings, but Rengui and them are extremely dangerous, they are all northern soldiers, and they will definitely not be able to stand on the boat, and a large group of people will lose their combat power, not to mention that they don't understand water warfare at all. ”

Cui Xiaoyi said: "Erlang, that's what I said, but even if it is a water battle, there is an element of the two armies fighting in it, General Xue can't attack the enemy ship, but at least it can guarantee that General Xue's warship is safe, even if the thief attacks the ship, with General Xue's amazing martial arts, how can it not be successful?" The only thing to worry about is that if the thief army also attacks General Xue's fleet with large warships, then General Xue will inevitably be more than lucky. ”

Suning said: "Rengui knows how to water and can also drive boats, which is a compulsory subject in military schools, and every military academy student can." But his carnivorous army, I don't know how many people can still fight, if Rengui comes east by water, then, what kind of ship is it on? ”

Cui Xiaoyi said: "When the old slave came, he came from Xiangyang by water, and it is said that there is a group of Yangzhou Navy transport ships preparing to transport it away, if this is the case, General Xue will catch up." It will inevitably come with the ships of the Yangzhou Navy. There will definitely be a part of the Yangzhou Navy on the ships of the Yangzhou Navy, which can assist General Xue in the battle, then, at least, it will be safer.

And when the old slave came. I heard from the boatman. in the past few years. Right Xiaowei stationed in Xiangyang from the beginning, he established a water division, specializing in river defense. Crack down on those large and small boat gangs on the river, those boat gangs are all robbing past merchant ships for a living, do a lot of evil, right Xiaowei smashed the boat gang within two years 3 out of 20, the original river can be led by the thieves as a help of the big boat gang has no boats, even if there are, it is a small number of transport ships or fishing boats without combat power, not a threat, water war can not be fought. ”

Suning walked a few steps inside the house with his hands behind his back, and then said: "In this case, the raid with the highest success rate is the night attack, the Yangtze River waterways are mostly gentle, if you take advantage of the big night, when most of the soldiers are resting, cross the river with a good water person or row or take a flat boat, reach the bottom of the boat, and then board the boat with flying claws and other things, attack and kill the guards of the ship, occupy the ship, and it is not easy to be discovered by other ships, if many people do it together, then it is estimated that by the time Rengui finds out, only his own warship will not be breached." ”

Cui Xiaoyi pondered for a while and said, "Very likely. ”

Suning sighed and said: "No matter what, we have no other way, the soldiers are fast, immediately issue my order, with my status as the minister of the Imperial Mission, and the military talisman given to me by His Majesty, I can mobilize the Meiling garrison, as for the water division, please ask them to cooperate in the battle, the incident happened suddenly, the situation is strict, and the matter is urgent, immediately give His Majesty a play, explain the emergency here, transmit this top-secret information with blood drops, and inform His Majesty to be careful, since the thief intends to do something to me and Rengui at the same time, It is inevitable that there will be difficulties in the capital at the same time. ”

Cui Xiaoyi nodded: "The old slave obeys!" ”

Suning's order reached the top commander of the three troops as quickly as possible, and the Meiling garrison immediately followed Suning's order, transferred 5,000 troops, divided into two routes, 2,500 soldiers and horses went north to the riverside, and 2,500 soldiers and horses forcibly marched to the Lujiang River, Zhang Liang received Suning's request for help, and said that Wang's rebellion and the threat to the imperial court's purchase of land money, he was shocked, the ship was a ship of his navy, and if something happened, he couldn't escape it, but if the thing succeeded, it would definitely be a great achievement.

He immediately issued an order, landed with 3,000 marines, drove directly to Wang's lair, and 50 warships took 3,000 navy to go up the river and enter the Lujiang River; General Xiangyang Youxiao Wei received Suning's request to help in the war, and was also shocked, and immediately invited Jingzhou Thorn History, the two discussed, Jingzhou Thorn History was even more shocked, because it was a few days ago that Xiangyang County Order mentioned that the waterway departure was faster, and he built Xue Rengui to take the waterway! But I didn't expect that the court official was a thief! It's right next to him!

And Xue Rengui has been gone for a day, and there are not many guards around him, this can be regarded as a big incident, if Xue Rengui's whole army is annihilated, and the huge amount of land purchased by the imperial court is plundered by thieves, the matter is found on him, it is inevitable that a crime of not supervising his subordinates is strict, resulting in a big mistake, and not beheading is the best result, but it is definitely indispensable to the crime of exile!

The two immediately went their separate ways, and General Youxiao immediately ordered his subordinate Xiangyang Naval Division to dispatch half of his troops to immediately chase Xue Rengui, and at the same time dispatched 3,000 soldiers and horses to set off immediately along the north bank of the Yangtze River to track the traces of Xue Rengui's fleet as quickly as possible.

Xiangyang County Commander knew what happened, he expected that it would be difficult to live, so he led the die-hard to defend the county government and fought more than once, intending to break the net, using the house wall as a city wall to fight against the rebels, the war for an hour, after using the rolling wood to hit the house gate and the boulder to smash the house gate, the loss of more than 100 soldiers, the rebels were defeated, the house gate was broken, the army surged in, the rebels were scattered, running in all directions, the whole county government ghost cried wolf howl endlessly, and finally Xiangyang County ordered to commit suicide by poisoning, and the county government was broken.

Jingzhou Thorn Shi saw that the most important person was not captured alive, and in a fit of rage, he destroyed the Xiangyang County Order, leaving no men, women and children, and then abandoned the corpse in the wilderness, but because the Xiangyang County Commander burned a large number of things that were estimated to be secret letters or something before he died, after breaking into the study, Jingzhou Thorn Shi got nothing, and couldn't help but be even more annoyed.

Then Jingzhou Thorn Shi ordered a thorough investigation of the entire county government, and the whole family was arrested and interrogated in prison, and finally found two letters exchanged between Xiangyang County Commander and mysterious people who did not have time to burn, Jingzhou Thorn Shi was overjoyed, but after seeing the content of the letter, it was like falling into an ice cellar, shocked, thinking about it, he still decided to hand over the letter to Li Erma, in order to atone for his sins, and make up for his mistakes.
