Chapter Ninety-Seven: Stationing

"Right here?"

"Right here. ”

Daoist Li looked at the dilapidated thatched hut in the village, his face was speechless, this is the contact point of the six doors?

Four days had passed since they arrived at the Hongsha River, and in the four days, only one fishing boat had passed by, and after their various threats and intimidation, it was 100% certain that the other party had nothing to do with the Fuzhou sailors, and the fisherman had never seen this fleet.

The organizational structure of these six doors is like MI6 or the CIA, and it is only responsible for the arrest of one person, and even the emperor Lao'er does not know how many people are inside, but there is no doubt that its intelligence network is the largest, because the people in the rivers and lakes have always been the most well-informed.

It was only through it that the king was able to pass on his orders, and now this connection was broken!

This reminded the Taoist priest of all the strange things that happened in the process of capturing the Five Gods, maybe the six doors were targeted long before the White Turban Thieves got up, and it was definitely not just the five half-human and half-demons who dealt with them.

This thatched hut is really simple, there are still a few cracks in the roof, pots and pans are placed on the ground, and some are still floating with oil flowers, how do you look like an ordinary house, but as the captain of Lao Wang's personal guard, Xiaoyan has handled a lot of secret information, and he naturally knows that this is not as simple as it seems.

Turning one of the pots over, there were two faintly visible scratches at the bottom of the pot, one of which was lighter in color, and it looked like a new scratch, and he immediately shook his head: "There is a code, this station has been abandoned." ”

"There is no demonic energy, and there is no ghost energy," the Taoist priest shook his head after sweeping around, and suddenly his heart moved, and he took out a small bottle from his pocket, which was the bottle of five-element water that he had taken from Sima Slut's hand, sprinkled in the east and thrown in the west, but he didn't expect to see a paw print on the corner of the wall, there were several paw prints on the wall, and in this direction, it seemed to be a small hill in the east.

Waiting for the Taoist priest and the big and small eyes to follow the claw marks all the way, on the side of the hill, found that there was a piece of land that was newly turned, the big and small eyes used a bow to plan, and actually dug out a dead man's hand, the hand was bloodstained, and there were many holes on it, and there were traces of torture at a glance.

"The tiger's mouth is calloused, the five fingers are slender, this is the hand with the sword," the big and small eyes said with experience, "and as far as I know, the spies stationed at this point have a nickname on the rivers and lakes, called the Wave Sword." ”

"In other words, this guy was killed by someone!" Daoist Li blinked, and there was a dead air not far away.

When he hurried over, he saw a gray bat the size of a human head frozen on the ground, with a strange human face on its head and a small hole in its forehead.

"It turned out to be a human-faced bat. ”

This human-faced bat is also not an ordinary monster, but someone sent it with a living soul, and a monster born after taking advantage of its spiritual intelligence, the human soul and the beast soul are mixed, no wonder it can exude a spirit aura;

"Could it be that this guy with a broken arm did it? ”

Big and small eyes ignored the Taoist priest's complaints, a top archer, ear power and eyesight are equally important, his ears moved, and a strange sound came from the wind, "Three miles away, there is a fight!"

"Three miles away!, man, you're not kidding!"

It turns out that the person in front of him is really not joking, and when the two rushed over, they saw more than a dozen white turban thieves surrounding the two with spears, one of them had a broken arm, and the other was - Yu Shusheng?!

The two of them were not in very good condition, especially the man with the broken arm, who looked like he was about to lose his breath, and in addition to this team of white turban thieves, there were two human-faced bats hovering in the sky, and the strange people were full of smiles.

The big and small eyes showed the strength of a top archer at this time, his archery skills were very peculiar, focusing on the arrows, not the bow body, the bronze arrows behind him felt out of two, and once again smeared with the unknown blood, and the mouth said: "Ninety-nine psychic, arrows and arrows are screaming, nothing is missing, the head of the brain, the sound of righteousness and righteousness, chasing life!"

The Taoist priest noticed that it takes at least a cup of tea to prepare this high-grade arrow, and this arrow is indeed powerful, 'whoosh' and 'whoosh' twice, a human-faced bat fell from the sky in an instant, and another turned a small corner, wanting to avoid the direction of the arrow, but he didn't think that the tip of the arrow could also have its own tracking system, and it also turned a small angle, and the blood bloomed, hitting the other party's eyehole.

The gang of white turban thieves naturally also found two outsiders not far away, and the little leader divided five white turban thieves to pounce, but in a short distance of ten zhang, the big and small eyes and arrows were fired in succession, and before the five people rushed halfway, they all rushed into the street; the little leader saw that the situation was not good, and hurriedly led the remnants to flee for their lives, but unfortunately he shot three more people on the way.

This kind of fierce performance looks at the Taoist priest's heart chills, there is a way is that distance produces beauty, but for this person, distance produces human life, he must not offend him, otherwise who knows which day will be abrupt.

Dao Ye is not afraid, this year, safety first!

Yu Zhen was also surprised when he saw the Taoist priest, "It's you!?"

"Why can't you be a Taoist master, didn't you go to Beijing to participate in the imperial examination, how could you be here, could it be that you slipped away halfway? Or was you not selected by the old emperor?"

"The champion of the current department is the one in front of you," the big and small eyes suddenly spoke.

“......”

Only silent for a moment, the Taoist priest became ten times more enthusiastic than before, "It turned out to be Brother Yu, I really haven't seen it for a day, such as every three autumns, thinking about the day when you and I dealt with the mud scholar together, Brother Tai, your swordsmanship is superb, Yunwen Yunwu, it is really a talent of Tianzhong, even if you have purple light on your forehead at that time, surrounded by blessings, you will be able to win the championship in one fell swoop, and you will enter the cabinet in the future, and guard one side, it is a matter of minutes!"

"......" Yu Zhen twitched the corners of his mouth, and only said after a long time: "Brother Li really hasn't changed at all." ”

"But why are you here?" asked.

After the water battle, the officers and soldiers of the Fuzhou Navy Division were tired, and the ships were damaged and had to stop for repairs, and Hu Jiuyong had to send a large number of eyeliners in order to avoid the sneak attack of the white turban thieves, and wanted to get in touch with the nearby six gates.

He immediately volunteered, took two soldiers out to investigate, did not expect that the nearby six doors of the garrison had already been swept away, he rushed early and late, in this most remote station, finally found the one who was being tortured, just rescued, was besieged by the white turban thieves who rushed to come, he fought and retreated, two officers and soldiers were killed one after another, and finally surrounded by the other party.

"What! The White Turban Thieves also have a fleet, and they have fought with you!?" Daoist Li and Big and Small looked at each other, really didn't expect this.

"The opponent's water general is proficient in witchcraft and can make waves, after we finally killed the other party, the fleet was also hit hard, more than fifty warships, and now there are only more than ten of them. ”

There are two most troublesome things in ancient wars, one is logistics, the other is intelligence, even if it is a famous general, when encountering this kind of thing, you can only look at the character, and Lao Wang's character has always been not good, what should I do?

Several people were unable to do so, so they had to go to meet the three people who were still waiting at the mouth of the river first, and rush to the hiding place of the remnants of the sailor, a remote fishing port called Shuilongpo.

Yu Zhen didn't lie at all, most of the moored warships were broken, the traces of arrows were common, and some even directly broke a big hole, and I don't know how to get here, and the officers and soldiers on the ship were also demoralized, most of them were pale, and the wounds were only bandaged briefly.

That Hu Jiuyong was directing the crew to repair the hull of the ship at the moment, and his left hand was still tied with a strap, which was a knife that was cut during the water battle, and after showing him Lao Wang's handwritten letter, the brave general also sighed and was silent for a long time.

"General Hu, you see this-" Xiao Yan didn't know what to say at the moment, if the water army of those white turban thieves was so strong, the Yangtze River would be on guard, and going now would be tantamount to death.

"The two of you have also seen that now our department has less than fifteen available warships and only five hundred sailors, and Governor Wang's request is really powerless," Hu Jiuyong smiled bitterly.

"How did that group of White Turban Sailors happen to run into you? How could there be such a coincidence," Daoist Li couldn't help but ask, "Or is there a mole among you?" ”

"This is impossible, only my brother and I know about the dispatch of troops, plus the champion Lang is only three people, but we passed the news to the six doors before the opening, just to want to fight with Lord Wang inside and outside, and it is broken! Ninety percent is a bad thing for the six doors!" Hu Jiuyong couldn't help but exclaim.

"Maybe the letter has been read before it is sent to the city, and the sailor will be ambushed, fortunately this is a water battle!" "Water warfare is not as good as land warfare, the water surface is empty, and it can be seen at a glance, even if you know the route and time of the other party, you can only fight hard, if you change to land officers and soldiers, the whole army will be annihilated."

'Six doors,' Daoist Li muttered in his heart, didn't Sima Slut say that his master had a ghost in his heart, would he deliberately instruct the news to leak to the white turban thief, otherwise with the efficiency and concealment of this institution, how could the rudder in Jiangnan be destroyed by the other party so easily, is this the rhythm of the master and apprentice in Infernal Affairs?

The military situation was urgent, Hu Jiuyong hurriedly summoned his generals to discuss urgently, and finally came to the conclusion that in the current state, if the other party was prepared, breaking the Yangtze River natural danger, the success of the officers and soldiers of Yundu was very small, and it was better to approach Luodu from the waterway according to the previous battle plan and respond to the city.

Although Lao Wang is not a good person, he is an old commander who knows the soldiers, and he is not expected to punish them for this, but the Beijing camp led by Jiangzhou's commander Dai Ke and how to rush to Luodu in a short time as well as the border army that is about to go south have become an unsolvable problem.

"I will write to inform my brother of the situation here, and ask him to move the water division south as soon as possible, and perhaps bring in some of the officers and soldiers from the north before the Luodu is broken. ”

From the current point of view, there is only this way, but even if everything goes well, how long will it take, three months, half a year, a year?

Daoist Li sighed, Lao Wang, Lao Wang, anyway, you have carried the pot of the imperial court many times, this time you will carry it again, you must resist it!

At this moment, far away in Liaodong Town, Xuanfu Town, Datong Town, Shanhai Town and other important military towns, horses neigh, soldiers are like frost, a large number of elite soldiers and veterans are less than thousands, more than tens of thousands, looking down from the sky, like dense ants, lined up in a black line, rushing to the south.

In Chang'an City, under the attention of the hundred officials and the old emperor, the eunuch is reading out the will-

“...... The rebellion of the cult and bandits, such as the entry of evil demons into the world, disturbing the world, killing the loyal and good, insulting the ancestral shrine, and committing lawlessness in retrograde, I have been ordered by the army to ask for orders......;

"Today, the prince is the generalissimo of the world's soldiers and horses, controlling the soldiers of the ten sides and nine provinces, and being ordered to rebel, admiring this~"

"Son, obey!!" (To be continued.) )
