Chapter 4 Enemy Expectations
[No pop-ups.]
After listening to Fang Zhennuo's idea, everyone felt justified Chu Yuan said: "Leave this matter to me You all have too familiar faces Senior Brother Hu and Senior Brother He have also shown their faces before Only I rarely walk around outside, it is more convenient to do things."
Zhu Qing said: "It's good that they don't recognize you, but in the same way, you don't know them, I'm afraid that something will happen wrong."
Yunbian Qingshang said: "Military Division, I have been to Jingshi, and I have also been to Shanxi with Ming Chengjun Shen Lu I know people from both the Qin family and Dongchang, as long as you are careful and hidden, it is not difficult to investigate."
"Hmm......" Fang Zhennuo moved his gaze slightly in a deep groan, swept over Zhu Qing's bleeding shoulders and Jiang Wan's face supported by his strong fighting spirit, nodded and said: "It's okay, but this trip must be very secretive, not only can you not bring more people, but you can't even use a boat, it's best to use driftwood to float and dive ashore Just now, the officers and troops retreated to the east It should be Yueyang, the night is dark and the water is cold, and the road to and from these dozens of miles is not close."
Yunbian Qingdao: "The brother just now has swam over for hundreds of miles, what is my little journey" turned to Himeno Ping and said: "Pavilion master, I won't take anyone before dawn, I must find out clearly and rush back" I turned around and wanted to leave I was suddenly grabbed by my arm
When he looked back, it was Fang Zhennuo who grabbed him I saw that his eyes were deep and worried, as if he cared about it, and there was a sense of entrusting the lives and hopes of the brothers on the island to himself Ji Yeping, Zhu Qing, Jiang Wan, Chu Yuan and others also focused their eyes on him
He reached out and pressed the back of Fang Zhennuo's hand, grabbed it vigorously, and nodded, Fang Zhennuo said, "I'll send you."
More than half of the three watches, the Dongchang fleet slowly docked at Yueyang Port under the traction and assistance of the Sanxiang Naval Army
Get off the boat Yu Dayou ordered the soldiers to quickly carry Chang Sihao to the medical hall But was stopped by Zeng Shiquan: "Hou Ye has a golden body and a jade body, how can you let those quacks in the market treat indiscriminately The factory has brought out a few experts this time, you can rest assured that you can hand him over to me " gestured Several officers surrounded him
Yu Dayou is not good at stopping After handing over the stretcher, he asked: "I don't know where the governor is now" Zeng Shiquan smiled: "It's too late today The old general came day and night He must be very tired It's better to have a good rest in the camp What will happen tomorrow Yu Dayou said: "Let's join forces to blockade Dongting The people of Juhao Pavilion must also want to seek a breakthrough Although these Jianghu people are reckless, there are also many people who are good and deeply hidden It is very likely that they will choose to break through overnight It is very important to prevent it It is not easy for the master and the emperor to be in charge Since the emperor sent Guo Dugong to preside over this trip Then let's ask him for instructions or two to determine the direction."
Zeng Shiquan's face wrinkled: "Hehe, what the old general said is But the governor has instructed him before, and it must have been explained in the letter to the old general Let's just block the Dongting waterway and trap Junshan at this stage Today's battle is really the other party's sudden attack to provoke the first accident As for how to prevent a counterattack and curb the breakthrough in the next place, the old general and the brothers have to make a lot of efforts Xiaoquan has a few important criminals to be tried Second, he has to take care of Hou Ye's injuries This is rude and can't be accompanied more With a wave of his hand, the director of the East Factory raised Chang Sihao Holding Huo Li Guwen, Sonam Gyatso, Concubine Baijiaoming, Zhang Sanniang, and others followed Li Yichen first, and Zeng Shiquan bowed his hand to Yu Dayou, beckoned to the people on the hill and Lu Huangqiao, and then followed
Seeing the Dongchang gang disappear into the night Someone behind Yu Dayou snorted in a low voice and scolded: "What kind of face do you put on, without us, you have already become a fish food" The rest of the generals sneered coldly and scolded a few words One of them calmed down first, leaned forward slightly, and said in a low voice: "My lord, this surname Zeng is obviously playing tricks on us If the order given by Duke Guo is just to besiege the island, why is he bringing people over to swagger Li Yichen should not come from that direction Obviously, they failed to attack before and after, but they hit Juhao Pavilion and raked it Another said: "Yes." I think he was afraid that our army would sweep away Junshan as soon as it arrived, so he relied on the advantage of equipment to attack first, so as not to be robbed of the credit by us, and he suffered a loss at this time, and pushed all the defense affairs to us, doesn't this make it clear that he is playing tricks on people, and "
Yu Dayou stopped their words with a hand, looked up at the sky, and said: "Don't complain, it is the emperor's will to cooperate with Dongchang, and it is already extraordinarily gracious not to let them supervise our army, people have big mouths, we have small mouths, and it is useless to fight for anything else, and it is the key to do a good job in defense, otherwise once something happens, it is not our responsibility."
When several generals heard this, they all bowed their heads and were speechless Yu Dayou took out a map from his arms, unfolded it in his hand, and said: "If the people of Juhao Pavilion want to break through, the most likely thing is to take these three waterways: one is the northwest tuning waterway One is the mouth of the northeast Chengling Jikou There is the Xiangjiang River estuary far to the south I have left 30,000 brothers at the Xiangjiang port I have left 30,000 brothers not only to block and break through along the line, but also to protect the movement of Gutian This side should not worry about Then there are only two roads left The people of Juhao Pavilion are very likely to break through the Yangtze River from these two points and then go down the river to Poyang Lake Convergence with the same party in the Lushan area Sun Cheng Shen Liang "
The two will be close together: "in" "in"
"You bring 5,000 people to help guard the tuning, Ma Yuan, Hou Gang, you also bring 5,000 brothers, and you will guard the mouth of the city tomb for me, and you will also take care of the surrounding water paths."
The four will speak in unison: "Yes" and "Yes"
Yu Dayou quickly glanced around and continued: "The waterway is the key, but the land route can't be relaxed, and the remaining 10,000 people row out of 9,000 led by Xiao Huang and a few of you Take Yueyang as the boundary and spread out along the coast to both sides The last thousand people will be led by me to patrol along the shore of the lake by boat Remember, no matter which side of you fight, immediately send a letter cannon The neighbors can be divided into three adults to rescue each other The remaining seventy percent only need to stay at their posts so as not to fall into the enemy's plan to attack the east and west After I receive the report, I will also rush to support at full speed "
After listening to these words, the generals looked at the map and did not move for a while The young general surnamed Huang said: "My lord, it is said that the person who was bombarded by me today is the leader of the Juhao bandits, Himino Taira, this guy dares to rush out with a gun and a boat, obviously he has courage and no strategy, the leader is like this, and his subordinates are even less worried, not to mention that they have a battle with Dongchang, and they have not been able to bargain for a bargain At this time, they are probably still resting, and they may not be able to think of breaking through at night Are you too cautious when you are so nervous about deploying now?"
Yu Dayou smiled coldly: "You still see that he is brave and unscrupulous, you don't think about it When he came out, he made a big bang behind him, but he didn't even have a person to answer What does it mean Li Yichen's people sneak attack and return What does it mean It shows that there are brains on the island to watch the family Playing chess and talking about giving up the car to protect the handsome They dare to give up the handsome It can be seen that the handsome is not really handsome Himenodairi is dead or alive It is not enough to worry about whether he is dead or alive But as long as the person who is in command behind us is there We can't take it lightly "
The young general surnamed Huang was very ashamed Shen Liang smiled and said: "Don't be ashamed, we are not as good as you at our age Let's study hard with Lao Yu " Sun Chengdao: "My lord, tuning the strings is the entrance to the Dongting Pavilion Juhao Pavilion is going out to kill It is against the current to take this road In contrast, they are still running to the city Lingji The old marquis and the old horse are under a lot of pressure Is it to divide our people into the past."
Yu Dayou said: "Okay, you are very thoughtful, but the enemy may also think of this, and therefore think that we will deploy heavy troops at the mouth of the city and Ling, and accordingly, they will also think that the strength of the tuning port is relatively weak, so the possibility of choosing to break through against the current is also relatively high, you and Lao Shen, don't feel that the burden is light, carelessly lose Jingzhou, from here to the tuning is a long way, and you have to speed up later."
Then he looked at the young general surnamed Huang: "And Xiao Huang, you guys also pay attention Let's show up today The other party already knows a little bit of the details Our strength advantage will be gone after the blockade line is stretched So if the other party wants to attack, it must concentrate manpower and break through a little Although there are problems such as being vulnerable to siege by land, lack of food and horses, and difficulty in speeding up, but as long as they form a breakthrough, they can break into pieces and infiltrate Jiangxi Although the water thieves have no ship and break their legs, but without rushing to join forces with the same party to fight a counterattack, breaking through by land is also a good way to preserve strength as much as possible That's why you young people are also a little bit more energetic."
The young man surnamed Huang threw himself to the ground: "My lord, you really think through the heart of a thief."
Yu Dayou knocked a finger on his helmet and said, "Hey, silly boy, people are so easy to figure out, it's just that it's not a big mistake to be careful, I don't like to listen to any nonsense that will be successful, I just hope that the next time the meal is served, these brothers can still be in the same pot as me, uh, by the way, after you get to the position, remember not to have conflicts with the Dongchang officials and local defenders, remember what you are doing, and hide away from the things that are stubble and fight well, okay, there is no time to talk about it, and there are no problems."
The generals immediately pursed their lips and straightened their waists, and Yu Dayou waved his hand: "Move, move, hurry, hurry."
The upstairs of Yueyang was brightly lit Before the order to close the lake was issued, this became a temporary hotel in Dongchang Li Yichen came back after arranging a resting place for the people on the hill and Lu Huangqiao Squinted at the mortuary stretcher on the ground and asked, "Master, what should I do?" Zeng Shiquan held the tea bowl and warmed his hands: "What should I do?" Li Yichen said: "Hanging batter" Seeing Zeng Shiquan's squinting eyes with anger, he hurriedly said: "That...... Fried shrimp "
What he said was the common code words of the "dim sum shop" in the Dongchang torture room: Hanging batter refers to bandaging and treating injuries, and frying shrimp is to decapitate the head
Zeng Shiquan said: "How many days have you been working with the factory What should I do, I don't know yet" Li Yichen bowed his head and said: "Please also ask the master to show me " Zeng Shiquan said: "When I commanded the battle, the Hou Ye helped The enemy didn't kill much, but he accidentally injured a lot of officers I think it's really frustrating Li Yichen's eyes rolled darkly, knowing that he was going to kill Chang Sihao by himself But this person has a special identity In Beijing, he feasted day and night with the governor He got along very well without clear instructions If there is an accident in the future, won't the problems be all on himself Said:" That's what the master means......"
Zeng Shiquan put down the tea bowl and was happy: "Hey, okay, I really have made progress" Li Yichen lowered his head and laughed: "Don't dare, they are all cultivated by the master" Zeng Shiquan said: "Well, the noble body of the Hou Ye is not something that these quacks around us can touch Carry it down Look at it Wait for me to report to the Governor and implore the emperor to send the imperial doctor down for treatment" Li Yichen was happy: "Yes, the master is still thoughtful, but his subordinates have the courage to ask for instructions: Hou Ye is jealous and hateful, and when he wakes up, he will definitely want to lead the army and fight with the thieves of Juhao Pavilion How dare we, the people below, dare to stop each other Zeng Shiquan sighed: "That's what I said." Hou Ye wants to kill the enemy, and his body is not happy, he will inevitably sulk, so it is not good for his body and bones, if there are any pills such as Angong to nourish the spirit, you will be so small that you can slip into the ground to serve a few Let Hou Ye sleep more peacefully It can be regarded as doing your filial piety."
Zhang Sanniang listened to their answers, obviously wanting to delay Russian treatment and drag Chang Sihao to death, only then did she realize that the two sides were by no means a gang It seems that Chang Sihao was on the boat at that time, and he was really afraid that he would anger the surname Zeng Suffered a loss in front of him However, at this moment, he was controlled by others, and there was nothing he could do about it, so he had to watch Chang Sihao being carried down by the officers Li Yichen waved his hand, and an officer came over and escorted her down along with Huoli, Guwen and others Someone outside the building came to report that Yu Dayou had divided his troops and sent him to deploy defense in multiple ways, and sent the ten miles of time and the threat from the ship Li Yichen waved the news back, and seeing that there were no outsiders at this time, he asked: "Master, I didn't understand at that time, since Yu Dayou's soldiers are here, why don't you push the boat down the river and let them be cannon fodder?"
Zeng Shiquan leaned at him and said: "The leak I poked this time is big enough, if I don't stop it in time, something really goes wrong, will I be able to pass the Governor in the future?"
Li Yichen said: "Then it's not your fault, they all came out by order, the boss, the second, and the fourth, and even the little Qin cub can be ranked in front of the meritorious service, why did the governor send us such an errand?"
Zeng Shiquan said: "It's okay, who doesn't want to play with beautiful hands, don't want to be as beautiful as them, what are we tossing this trip for, but what is the result, go according to the words of the governor, I told you a long time ago In our factory, only the brains of the governor are called brains, we people don't have to think about it, just listen and do it, there is nothing wrong with it, you don't believe it, I can tell you, my head is just cool now, you don't fantasize the evil fire, let's be honest and act according to the original plan."
The autumn wind sweeps away the water, the moon is cold, and on the swarthy lake east of Junshan, a driftwood is silent, and it is gradually moving away
Fang Zhennuo stared at the shore for a while, turned around and hurried back to the lion's mouth
Entering the hall of the stone castle, several people who were studying the map under the lamp all looked up
Fang Zhennuo's eyes swept and asked, "What about the pavilion master?"
Zhu Qing and Jiang Wan looked at each other, their faces were a little unnatural Fang Zhennuo immediately understood: "Okay, I know" beckoned to the warriors under the door: "Pass my order Inform the Dragon Emperor, the Tiger Emperor, the Wind Emperor, and Master Lu, Master Yu and Master Lang Gather all the brothers, including the injured, to gather in Xigang Each person brings at least two days of dry food Remember not to light torches Keep quiet"
The samurai left in response, and Zhu Qing asked, "Strategist, what are you going to do?"
Fang Zhennuo said: "Break through"
A room full of people were stunned Chu Yuan said: "Brother Fang, what's wrong with you Yun Bianqing has just left The enemy situation has not yet been clarified, how can you break through in a hurry?"
Fang Zhennuo said: "The situation has changed" Then he turned to Zhu Qing: "You go to the West Port first to prepare the ship and prepare for departure Remember to prepare a few more rattan cards for each boat in case of bow and crossbow I will summon the pavilion master Wait for the gathering of people and set off immediately After speaking, he turned around and walked out of the hall Although everyone does not know what to say, but the military advisor's order must be carried out There is no negotiation Zhu Qing made a look and put away the map The four brothers of Jiang Wanshi hurriedly went down the mountain
Fang Zhennuo took a pen and paper and hurriedly wrote some words, blew it, folded the paper, inserted it into the envelope, and put it in his arms Return to the main village to the main entrance of the main building of Juhao Pavilion to the west Turn left and turn right Came to a quiet courtyard surrounded by bamboo shadows There are several Himenodaira relatives guarding outside the door As soon as I saw him coming, I hurriedly bowed down and saluted Fang Zhennuo didn't say anything, and walked directly into the courtyard As soon as I arrived at the door of the main house, I heard a woman in the back room saying, "...... If you let me go, I'll give you all ......."
The last sentence was very low, and Fang Zhennuo frowned when he heard it, and stopped
There was a "splash" sound in the room, and it seemed that the cups, plates, and porcelain were swept to the ground, and then I heard Himeno Ping say: "You, what do you think of me?"
The night wind drummed into the bamboo leaves in the corner of the courtyard around the wall and made an uproar, and the two spears and red tassels that were leaning under the eaves were shaking like the flickering lights and shadows on the window paper
There was silence in the room, and the woman whispered softly: "Brother Ping, I also know that you are not that kind of person, I was confused for a while, I said the wrong thing, I was not good, I was just afraid that he would ......."
Himeno said: "Don't worry, although that shot pierced the lower abdomen, it won't kill him."
Fang Zhennuo could hear that these two words were said while exhaling, not sighing, but still mixed with some frustration
He raised his foot in the silence and was about to take a step, but he heard a "plop" sound from the house, followed by the woman and said: "Brother Ping, you are a hero, please promise me this time" Himeno Ping said: "What is this for, you get up quickly."
In the competition between the two, Fang Zhennuo's eyes were empty and listened quietly, and he never took this step At this time, Himenopa said: "You are a guest on the mountain, I really want to go, I can't stop it, it's just ......" The woman said: "I know that you are afraid that they will not But you know best I have lived in this courtyard since I entered the island, and I have never been anywhere, and I don't know anything about the situation on the island, not to mention that I also hate Dongchang, no matter how they interrogate me, I won't say it...... I beg you "
Himenopaira said: "You misunderstood, I'm not afraid that my brothers won't think about it, it's different now, and now the officers and soldiers are surrounding Dongting, and the situation is very tense When the Baijiao ship left the port, Dongchang didn't even ask, and directly opened fire and sank it.
