Li Jiancheng's words suddenly surprised Yang Wengan.

However, Yang Wengan is not a general, and soon, he analyzed it clearly: "Pingyao County is located in the hinterland of Bingzhou, more than 700 miles away from here, our army is fast and fast, and the rapid march takes about six days to reach Pingyao. ”

When Li Jiancheng heard this, he laughed loudly: "I didn't expect that General Yang knows so much about the geography of Bingzhou, it seems that General Ben picked up a big bargain from General Shi." ”

"The general praised it!"

"Order, this trip must be vigilant, not the slightest relaxation. After the mission is completed, all the soldiers and this general will be rewarded. ”

"Command!"

Yang Wengan immediately gave orders back and forth, and arranged for several horsemen to explore the way in front of the team, which was the vanguard outpost, and there were also several horsemen at the rear of the team, which were for the rearguard.

Pingyao is located in Jinyang to the imperial capital Daxing City must pass through, the geographical location is extremely important, is a strategic place, but all the generals who know some military geography, will not turn a blind eye to it.

Since the Han Dynasty raised its army, most of the state has been subordinated to its banner.

At this time, Li Jiancheng and his entourage had entered the rebels' sphere of influence.

And their destination is precisely a strategic place like Pingyao, and the rebels must have stationed heavy troops in Pingyao.

Therefore, this trip must be very dangerous.

"Drive!"

Sima Jiu rode to Li Jiancheng's side.

"General Lee!"

"Ninth brother, what's the matter?"

Sima Jiu praised from the bottom of his heart: "General Yang is worthy of being General Shi's favorite general!" ”

"Oh! Why did the virtuous brother say this? ”

"General Yang is not only outstanding in martial arts, quite strategic, but also arranges the marching team and outpost guards in a proper and orderly manner, and even the matching of material supplies and the selection of outfit logos are extremely suitable."

Li Jiancheng smiled proudly: "Haha! General Yang's performance, this general is also extremely satisfied, with this general, such a treasure. ”

"Congratulations General!"

Then, Sima Jiu changed his words and said, "General, there is something unknown to my subordinates. ”

Li Jiancheng took advantage of the excitement and said: "My department is no longer in the Heyin camp and separated from the army, between you and my brothers, don't come to the general, I belong to it, it sounds weird, let's call me eldest brother." ”

After finishing speaking, Li Jiancheng took out the water bladder and was about to drink water.

"Good!" Sima Jiu readily agreed.

"Aren't we going to merge states? Why change your destination to Pingyao? ”

Li Jiancheng was shocked when he heard the news, and almost squirted the water in his mouth.

Subsequently, Li Jiancheng put away the water bladder and jokingly said: "Ninth brother, Bingzhou does not only refer to a county or a county, but refers to Taiyuan, Shangdang, Xihe, Yunzhong, Dingxiang, Yanmen, Shuofang, Wuyuan, Shangjun and nine counties. ”

"Ah...... I see! ”

Sima Jiu smiled awkwardly.

It's too embarrassing, so much so that he admires himself more and more, and the name of the history department is really worthy of its name.

"But why should we go to Pingyao?"

Sima Jiu hurriedly changed the topic, although he was a student of the history department, he vaguely remembered that at this time, Wang Hao should be assisting Zhao Zikai in guarding the high wall.

"I have received information that the empire has appointed Yang Su as the head of the march of the Bingzhou Road and the ambassador of Hebei to pacify the empire, and to lead tens of thousands of imperial elites to quell the rebellion of the Han king."

"A few days ago, Yang Su's army has arrived at Gaobi. Yang Sunai is a good general in the world, invincible and invincible. Come to think of it, it is only a matter of time before the high wall is overcome. Perhaps, before we could reach the high wall, Yang Su had already captured the high wall. ”

"Moreover, between Gaobi and Pingyao, there are still several strategic points, and the rebels must be heavily guarded, so Yang Su is bound to pull out the rebel strongholds one by one before he can move forward. In this way, it is better to rush directly to Pingyao. ”

Sima Jiu suddenly woke up.

"Then, we can intercept Wang Fei in Pingyao?"

"Yes, the children can be taught."

Sima Jiu reminded angrily: "Big brother, this is in the military, can you be serious." ”

"Brother Xian reminded me correctly, and the eldest brother must remember it."

These days, Sima Jiu has become more and more curious about Li Jiancheng.

Between the words, Li Jiancheng seemed to know a lot about the recent events, as if someone had informed him.

However, Li Jiancheng was obviously with him and had not been in contact with other people, at least, Sima Jiu had not seen him contact with other people.

Besides, even if someone informed him of the news, how would that person or those people know where Li Jiancheng was?

It's hard to say they have a locator, or an instant messenger.

Of course, this can't be.

After all, this is not the 21st century with advanced technology, and locators and instant messaging are simply nonsense.

If Li Jiancheng can get the news, someone must have informed him, and that person is definitely not a person, but an extremely powerful organization.

That organization not only has a strong enough intelligence gathering ability, but also can accurately grasp Li Jiancheng's whereabouts.

After thinking about it, Sima Jiu didn't understand what kind of organization it was.

Li Jiancheng saw Sima Jiu thoughtful, so he asked curiously, "Ninth brother, what do you want?" ”

"Nothing."

"Besides, what can I think?"

"Haha! Well, let's keep going! ”

As he spoke, Li Jiancheng galloped away.

Day 3.

Li Jiancheng and his entourage have passed through Gaodu, Lingchuan, Shangdang, Tunliu and other places, approaching Wuxiang.

They benefited from the ample war preparations before the Han king's army, and the supply of horses at the post stations along the way exceeded demand.

During this time, they encountered only a few small rebel forces, and did not encounter large rebel forces.

During the march, Yang Wengan presented to Li Jiancheng and said: "General Li, at this speed, our army will be able to arrive in Pingyao at dusk the day after tomorrow. ”

"Good!"

Then, Li Jiancheng pointed to a map made of cowhide rolls and asked, "It should be Wuxiang in front, right?" ”

"Yes."

"Wuxiang is an important military town, and the enemy army must have heavy troops, and the whole army must be vigilant."

"Command."

"Drive!"

At this moment, a vanguard sentinel cavalry galloped in.

"General, there is a situation ahead."

When Li Jiancheng heard the news, he immediately frowned slightly.

Yang Wengan then asked, "What's the situation?" ”

"There was smoke and weeping in a village ahead, as if bandits were looting the village."

Li Jiancheng was surprised: "Bandits? ”

Yang Wengan asked, "Can you bypass it?" ”

"No ......"

Before the outpost cavalry could reply, Li Jiancheng was indignant and said: "The bandits are plundering!" ”

At the same time, Sima Jiu said awe-inspiringly: "We are imperial soldiers, and it is incumbent on us to protect our family and defend the country, how can we let the bandits do evil." ”

Li Jiancheng looked back at Sima Jiuhou, and said, "The whole army is speeding up. ”

In a short time, they came to the high ground more than 500 steps outside the village.

"General, in the village ahead, there are about seventy or eighty bandits dressed in black, and they are plundering the village. There are five entrances and exits in the east-west-north-south direction of the village. ”

A vanguard sentinel gave Li Jiancheng a succinct report on the situation in the village.

Li Jiancheng said: "General Yang, what do you think? ”

After a quick glance at the surrounding situation, Yang Wengan advised: "This village has a special topography, its north and south sides are close to the woods, there is a river in the west, and the east side is a wide flat land. If our army surrounds them, the bandits will definitely choose to break through through the exit to the south or north of the village. ”

"The last general is foolish: the whole army is divided into two teams, one team goes into the village to save people; The other team is divided into five squads. ”

Among them, four squads were ambushed at the four corners of the village, and the other squad acted as a reserve, maneuvering around the outskirts of the village, waiting for an opportunity to surround and kill the bandits. In this way, no matter which exit the bandits escape from, the two nearby squads can encircle and intercept them, and the mobile reserve team can support them at any time. ”

Then, Li Jiancheng turned his head to Wang Qi and asked, "Uncle brother, what do you think?" ”
