After the immortal disappeared

In this operation, He Lingchuan felt that he had nothing to say to others, so he sent this reckless person here.

Of course, it was also because Jiao Tai had the best ability to identify directions in the wild. If Dad decided to fight, there would be such a reliable person who could lead the way.

At this time, Elder Liang from Chuanyun Pavilion also came and sat down to listen.

When Jiao Tai mentioned that the remaining Xunzhou Rangers were hiding in the abandoned mine, that he had gunpowder, and found the back door of the mine, He Chunhua couldn't help but said "Okay" repeatedly, patted the table and stood up: "Go to the mine. Do you still know the way?"

"It's natural to tell!"

He Chunhua was finally able to make a decision: "You lead the way, we will set off immediately!"

After saying this, he felt really comfortable in his heart. He turned to Elder Liang and said, "In Xinhuang, I have to ask Elder Liang."

"It's easy to talk." Elder Liang gestured, and the disciple beside him translated, "Chuanyun Pavilion is willing to do its best."

At that moment, He Chunhua ordered the entire army to prepare.

Two-quarters of an hour later, He Chunhua personally led a team of 1,200 people out of Xinhuang westward and headed straight for the abandoned mine pit of Bailu Town. Wu Shaoyi led 500 people to stay at the Xinhuang military camp, assisted by Elder Liang of Chuanyunge.

…

Abandoned mine.

Hong Chenglue was eating, devouring a mouthful of yellow rice buns and a mouthful of hot water.

The yellow rice buns were not delicate, a bit dry and a bit choking. But Hong Chenglue ate it very sweetly. This was the best bun he had eaten in the past two months.

When the yellow rice is eaten, it will swell with hot water, giving people a full feeling of satiety.

There was also half a yellow roasted pheasant on the table.

Although the chicken feathers were not completely plucked and the chicken skin was still a little burnt, the soldiers who temporarily acted as cooks did their best.

Hong Chenglue didn't touch the roast chicken, but picked it up and sent it to Bai Liqing's ward.

The general remained in a drowsy state.

The general was accompanying him. When he saw Hong Chenglue coming in, he had no choice but to stand up.

Hong Chenglue waved his hand: "No need to see anyone, how about General Baili?"

"He's recovering well, he should wake up soon."

Hong Chenglue put the roast chicken on the table: "When General Baili wakes up, heat it up for him to eat."

"good."

He gave up his quota, but the general felt that he was trying to win over people's hearts and didn't even say "yes".

Originally, this person was promoted by Baili Qing.

At this moment, the sound of running was heard outside, and a soldier rushed over panting: "General Hong...!"

Hong Chenglue waved his hand to stop him, and walked out of the house to the open space: "Come here and say, don't wake up General Baili."

Seeing something unusual here, the generals also gathered around.

"A large number of Xiazhou troops appeared at the foot of the mountain, nine hundred or more than a thousand people. They seemed to be searching the mountain, and they were probably heading here!"

When everyone heard this, their scalps immediately went numb.

Sure enough, the Xiazhou army still followed?

Coincidentally, the spies they sent to Bailu Town for the second time actually came back at this time, reporting that the first spies had died in Hong Chenglue's empty house! And according to feedback from people in the town, people from Xiazhou Prefecture did come to inquire about last night's information.

Hong Chenglue's worries were finally confirmed.

The two generals looked at Hong Chenglue immediately, feeling somewhat regretful in their hearts.

If we evacuate in the afternoon...

Everyone was waiting for Hong Chenglue's decision. He looked solemn and made a decisive decision: "Xu Yingxian, Tao Ze, you follow me to lure away the Xiazhou army!"

Then he turned to the other two generals: "You guys stay behind and take care of General Baili and the injured brothers. If we can't stop you, you will retreat to Xinqiao Township."

The general issued an order at the critical moment, and the two men immediately accepted the order.

The soldiers all felt some admiration.

Fortunately, the Xunzhou cavalrymen had already developed the habit of being on the alert and ready to kill the enemy at any time. It didn't take half a quarter of an hour to saddle up, tie up, and get ready.

So Hong Chenglue left fifty more people to guard the abandoned mine, and set off in a hurry with 2,780 people.

After running for more than two hundred feet, there was no sign of the enemy.

After walking another two to three hundred feet along the mountain road, there was still no sign of the enemy.

It wasn't until the team reached the foot of the mountain that another sentry hurriedly arrived:

According to the report, the Xiazhou army turned north.

What's to the north? No one knows.

So, if the Xiazhou army had not come... The soldiers looked at Hong Chenglue eagerly, but saw him calling Tao Ze over to whisper a few words, and then ordered thirty people for him.

The team of thirty people went to the rear.

What to do now?

I saw Hong Chenglue wave his hand: "Give me the order to move the entire army eastward to Xinhuang Town!"

The soldiers were frightened.

What?

Hong Chenglue looked over with a serious look: "You still don't want to give the order?"

Someone even asked stupidly: "Do you want to send news back to the mine?"

Xu Yingxian gave him a tug: "The general ordered us to do things without causing unnecessary complications!"

The cavalry team of nearly three hundred people immediately set off eastward, neither returning to the mines nor sending any news back.

Seeing that Hong Chenglue was leading the way and there was no one around him, Wu Qing rode his horse to keep pace with him, and then asked: "General Hong intends to do this?"

Hong Chenglue didn't even raise his eyes: "What?"

"You avoided the shortest route to Xinhuang Town." Wu Qing is doing business in Yuanbei and is familiar with the local road conditions. "If we go this way, it will take half an hour longer."

"But safe."

Wu Qing was startled, then thought for a moment and said, "You mean, someone has taken over that route? Is it... the Xiazhou army?"

This is the border of Xiazhou. Of course, General Manager He's army is on the road with confidence, unlike them who have to be sneaky.

Hong Chengluo glanced at him: "Boss Wu is a smart man. Nian Zanli should ask you to be a staff member."

"No, I am lazy and undisciplined by nature."

"The spy didn't come back. I think he was caught. Then we have to be prepared that the hiding place has been leaked. The safest way is to change places, but General Baili's two men don't agree. .”

"If I were He Chunhua, once I found out that the people from Xunzhou were hiding in the abandoned mines in Bailu Town, I would probably send troops to suppress them." Hong Chenglue said slowly, "This man has a good reputation. He came to Xiazhou to seek fame and promotion. I will burn it. We gave him 10,000 shi of food and grass. It would be hard to explain when he went to the front line, and it would be even harder to explain when he went back to the state capital. He would definitely lose his face."

"You also know the situation here in Xiazhou. He Chunhua has been controlled by the four major families for many years. He Chunhua finally established a foothold here with two victories. If he goes back like this this time, his prestige will be at least halved, and it will be so easy to control him in the future. Military affairs?"

Wu Qing smiled: "Yes, I'm afraid that the four major families will break one of his legs if he stumbles."

"Besides, even if he doesn't come to us now, we might have to stop his food transport team later. The complicated terrain of the rocky beach north of Xinhuang is very suitable for an ambush. So he will definitely defeat him. If If you find out about our whereabouts, you can't miss this opportunity." Hong Chenglue grabbed the reins and sat casually, but his tone was full of murderous intent, "I will help him."

Wu Qing smiled slightly. General Hong used Bai Liqing, his two generals, and nearly a hundred old, weak, sick and disabled as bait! When He Chunhua led his troops to seize the bait, the rear area must be empty, so General Hong rushed to burn Xinhuang's food and grass!

This was a cruel move. The Xiazhou army wounded so many Xunzhou cavalry, thinking that these would become a burden for Hong Chenglue, but he did not expect that in the end it would become the bait to fish out themselves.

However, General Hong treated Bai Liqing and his two generals very harshly.

After Wu Qing delivered the military order to pay tribute to the New Year, it became clear that Bai Liqing was originally in charge of the Xunzhou Rangers, but now Hong Chenglue suddenly parachuted in and took away his command. Bailiqing felt unhappy and had not been getting along well with Hong Chenglue these days.

On the other hand, He Chunhua helped him get rid of these disobedient leaders and the old, weak, sick and disabled, and then he justifiably took over the Xunzhou Rangers - an army can only listen to one voice.

Wu Qing originally thought that Hong Chenglue would use some gentle methods, but it seemed that he didn't have the patience.

…

He Lingchuan was sleeping soundly when someone unexpectedly tapped him on the shoulder:

"Young Master, wake up!"

He Lingchuan shook his head and rubbed his eyes: "What?" He didn't dream about Panlong City, so he was boring.

"There is some movement down there." Mao Tao whispered, "It seems that there are people and horses mobilizing." The young man is also good at sleeping. He uses a roll of clothes as a pillow and lies on the floor to sleep until he snores. The quality of his sleep is excellent.

He didn't know that He Lingchuan was a patrolman in Panlong's Dreamland, and he was already accustomed to eating and sleeping in the open.

"Mobilizing people and horses?" He Lingchuan suddenly woke up, "How many people are there?"

"Their horses were originally kept in the forest, but now they are basically brought back and saddled."

Where is this going? He Lingchuan rolled his eyes. Could it be that Hong Chenglue was going out to plunder supplies?

He should have saved enough food by defeating Wu Shaoyi, so he won't have to worry about it in the short term, and there is even extra to distribute to the people of Bailu Town; is he going to rob medicine?

Then there is no need to dispatch so many people.

Could it be?

Shan Youjun whispered: "Should these guys want to withdraw?"

"It's possible." He Lingchuan thought for a while, "After all, the spies they sent to Bailu Town never came back. Maybe the man named Hong is so cautious."

The three of them made up their minds to follow.

However, He Lingchuan was a little confused by the Xunzhou people's next operation:

The main force was ready and mounted, and set off in a hurry.

However, the salt soldiers around the mine were not removed. Mao Tao went to conduct reconnaissance and found out that there were still people down there.

There are quite a few left.

Then they are not going to relocate and set up camp elsewhere?

But where are these more than 200 Xunzhou cavalry going?

The three of them retreated quietly, leading their horses to follow them secretly.

The main force of the Xunzhou people went down the mountain first, seemingly in a half circle, not knowing what they wanted to do.

It was getting late and the forest was getting darker. It became increasingly difficult for Mao Tao to detect traces of the passing army, such as hoof prints and horse dung.

He Lingchuan held "Fu Sheng" habitually, and the coldness from the handle helped him think.

At this moment, he suddenly felt palpitations, as if a huge crisis was coming.

He Lingchuan's ears moved, as if he heard the suppressed breathing in the silent mountains, and there were more than one person!

He couldn't help but shouted: "Be careful!"

As soon as the words were spoken, an arrow came from the sky and shot towards Maotao with a "whoosh" sound.
