Chapter 222, Captured 9

Li Yan's injuries are not completely healed, so most of the time he is in the car, due to the strict care, he has no shackles and other things on his body, and after walking for more than a day, he came to Qingxi Ferry.

Qingxidu is a small ferry and is not noticed, which is why Shi Kefa chose to cross the Yellow River here. [Full text reading. There were five or six boats on the ferry, and when the boat boss saw so many people coming, and they were officers and soldiers, he hurriedly greeted them.

Five hundred officers and soldiers, including men and horses, made a total of more than a dozen ferries before they completely crossed the Yellow River.

As they crossed the river, a few people stood in the dense forest not far away, looking carefully.

These people are Bai Qi, Red Lady, Xiaoqing and Yizhimei.

Since Yizhimei and Li Yan were tied up in the official army camp that day, she was locked in a small tent and guarded outside. But how do these people know how ordinary ropes can tie her? It only took a moment for Yizhimei to use the bone shrinking technique to retract his hand.

She sneaked out of the tent and went to rescue Li Yan, but was persuaded by Li Yan to leave, and Yizhimei also understood that in that case, Li Yan could not be rescued. So she had to get out of the official army camp and walked all the way back.

Before dawn, Yizhimei just walked out of the camp a few miles away, and ran into the red lady and Xiaoqing.

The Red Lady and Xiaoqing killed the person sent by Shi Kefa to intercept it, and they felt strange at the time, although the other party was wearing the clothes of the people, but the moves were obviously trained, and the horses they rode were also good horses, and ordinary people would never get such a war horse. The red lady dismounted and looked at the farrier of the war horse, and found that it was the war horse of the official army.

They realized at that time that Li Yan had been captured by the official army.

The red lady was anxious and chased after her. As Li Yan, he was caught by the official army, how could he die. They inquired all the way and learned that Hong Chengchou was in the east, and it seemed that the official army had captured Li Yan and wanted to sacrifice it to Hong Chengchou, and Hong Chengchou and his people had always shown no mercy to the captured people.

Chasing, chasing, Bai Qi followed.

Bai Qi was not hindered along the way, and there were many cavalry with him, so he came quickly, and when he caught up with the red lady, he was also surprised, and he didn't have to think about anything else at the moment, he wanted to catch up with the official army as much as possible and save Li Yan.

But they couldn't catch up with Shi Kefa after all.

A few miles away, they watched as Shi Kefa escorted Li Yan into the camp.

Bai Qi had two hundred cavalry with him, and it was impossible for this man and horse to rush into the camp to rescue Li Yan, so he had to stop in the distance.

The red lady was so anxious that she wanted to cry, and Bai Qi comforted: "Don't be anxious, the red girl, the officials and soldiers have captured Li Gongzi into the camp from afar, and it is impossible to kill him like this." They also have to try and ask questions. If you want to kill, you will have to kill it on the way, and if you go back with your head, how much less trouble is it than holding a big living person? ”

After saying something in vain, the red lady finally stabilized. At this time, they did not dare to get too close to the camp, for fear of being discovered by the secret sentinels, so they had to wait outside.

It just so happened that this night, Yizhimei sneaked out and bumped into the red lady.

No one had ever seen Yizhimei, and they didn't know who she was, but because she ran out of the official barracks with a suspicious appearance, she was swarmed and arrested by the white sentry detectives.

Brought to everyone, Bai Qi saw that it was a little girl, and she was stunned.

Yizhimei had seen the Red Lady and Xiaoqing, and had already guessed that they were here to save Li Yan, so she told her and Li Yan's experience along the way. She didn't hide her identity, and explained in detail how the officials and soldiers caught her father and forced herself to trap Li Yan.

When the red lady first listened to her, she was so angry that she almost drew her knife, but after listening to Yizhimei, her anger disappeared.

Everyone understands that at this time, the most important thing is to rescue Li Yan. Bai Qi was a fine person, and sent his subordinates to disguise themselves as civilian husbands and enter the official army camp to inquire about the news. Hearing the report, Li Yan was still recuperating from his injuries, so he breathed a sigh of relief.

However, on this day, the spies heard the news that Li Yan was about to be escorted to the capital. Bai Qi was taken aback, he knew that the consequences of being escorted to the capital would definitely be a thousand cuts, and there would be no physiology.

Everyone decided to hijack the prisoner's car on the road and rescue Li Yan out.

After deciding on this plan, Bai Qi led the men and horses, far behind Shi Kefa. He roughly calculated, Shi Kefa brought out no less than 500 people this time, and his own 200 people were too few to rob hard, so he could only find opportunities and outwit them.

They followed them all the way to the crossing of the Yellow River, they watched the officers and soldiers cross the Yellow River, Bai Qi saw that it was not early, and asked the red lady: "After the Yellow River, it is the ground in Shanxi, where do you think they will camp?" ”

The red lady said: "It's not early, and there are five hundred people, and it's troublesome to camp, I think they will definitely enter Hejin County, and it will be arranged by the local county order." ”

Shi Kefa shook his head: "In this way, if the commotion is too big, it will be known to everyone, Shi Kefa will not be so careless, he will not enter the city, and he will definitely camp on the edge of the city." Let's go. ”

At dusk, the group crossed the Qingxi Ferry, followed Shi Kefa's men and horses, and came to Hejin County.

Sure enough, as Bai Qi guessed, Shi Kefa did not enter the county seat, but stationed 500 men and horses in a village four or five miles away from the county seat, at this time Shanxi was still peaceful, the peasant army had not come, the people here were quite stable, plus Shi Kefa's people and horses, the military discipline was acceptable, no one dared to harass the people, after the 500 people entered the village, they did not dare to break into the people's homes, so they lit a fire on the street to heat and cook.

Shi Kefa took more than a dozen personal soldiers to help Li Yan out of the prisoner car, found the chief of the village, and asked him to arrange a room, so that the personal soldiers could watch Li Yan and live in it.

Shi Kefa has always been sympathetic to the soldiers, the soldiers don't eat, he doesn't eat, the soldiers don't rest, he doesn't rest, so he is very loved by his subordinates. In this village, Shi Kefa did not relax his vigilance, he knew that he was escorting a repeat offender, and if something went wrong, his official would not want to do it. Therefore, he set up secret sentinels and mobile sentinels to patrol around the village.

Bai Qi took the men and horses, and watched from a distance outside the village, dozens of fires were lit in the village, but there was no noise, and there was no kicking in the door, burning houses and robbing people in the village, it seemed that this group of officers and soldiers was full of rules. Bai Qi had already sent people to pretend to be villagers to enter the village to investigate, and at this time he reported that Li Yan was watched by more than a dozen officers and soldiers, living in a house, and the rest of the officers and soldiers were on the street.

The red lady was so anxious that she rubbed her fists and palms on the side, and kept walking back and forth. Yizhimei looked at her, and she felt a little uncomfortable. If it weren't for himself, he wouldn't have been able to cause such a big mess, and Li Yan wouldn't have suffered like this.

She came to Bai Qi's side and asked, "General, when will you do it?" ”

Bai Qi looked at her and said indifferently: "When everyone sleeps, we will do it again." ”

Xiaoqing said: "Kill it?" Bai shook his head: "Shi Kefa is not an ordinary general, although his people are asleep, but there must be a scout secret sentinel, we have to rush in, I dare to say, before we enter the village, we will be discovered, when the time comes, the five hundred men and horses will be fully armed to fight our counter-encirclement." ”

The red lady said: "What should I do then?" ”

Bai Qi was confident, and replied unhurriedly: "Wait." ”

So a group of people began to wait outside the village, seeing the moon and stars, and listening to the sound of chickens, the red lady was so anxious that she couldn't sit still: "General, it's almost five watches, don't you want to do it?" ”

Bai Qi said: "It's time." Do it. ”

As soon as they heard this, the red lady and the others were about to get on the horse, but Bai Qi stopped them all: "What are you doing on the horse?" The red lady said: "What else can you do, rush in and rob people!" ”

Bai Qi said: "Come down and listen to my orders." ”

Everyone saw that he was so calm, and they didn't know what medicine he was selling in his gourd, so they all got off the horse.

Bai Qi said to Yizhimei: "You are alone, steal into the village, touch into the room where Li Gongzi is being held, and steal people out." ”

Yizhimei frowned: "General, there are so many people on the street, I am carrying Li Gongzi on my back, in case I alarm the officials and soldiers, it will be terrible." ”

Bai Qi whispered in her ear, and Yizhimei nodded again and again. Bai Qi said: "After the matter is completed, you light a fire in the village, and at this time, I will send a team of men and horses to lead away the official army." ”

When everyone heard this, they all praised Bai Qi for his clever strategy.

Without further ado, just do what you say.

Yizhimei, dressed in black and masked with a black scarf, slipped into the village like a little fox.

Those dark whistles and mobile sentinels have been patrolling all night, and they are also a little sleepy and unfocused, and with Yizhimei's skills, even if you stare with wide eyes, you can't find her.

Everyone looked at Yizhimei's body and flashed a few times, and then disappeared.

After a short time, I suddenly saw a fire burning in the village.

It turned out that Yizhimei lit a torch according to the prior appointment, and was afraid that people outside would not see it, so he found a haystack and threw the torch on it.

Now it was good, the haystack was scraping and burning, and in the dark night it was like a big wax that burned the sky, shining brightly in all directions.

Yizhimei has long been hiding.

The first to notice the fire was the secret sentinels, who thought that the enemy was coming, and hurriedly sounded the gong.

As soon as the gong sounded, Shi Kefa immediately jumped up and shouted: "The whole army is on horseback." ”

At this time, Bai Qi outside the village already knew that Yizhimei had won the hand, and immediately ordered a small leader to let him lead fifty cavalry and run wildly in the northwest direction.

Fifty cavalrymen galloped together, and the movement was not small, especially in the dark night, and Bai Qi let them light torches to attract officers and soldiers.

The sentry under Shi Kefa immediately saw this cavalry and hurriedly reported it to Shi Kefa.

As soon as he heard that the sentry detectives had reported that there was a cavalry outside the village, they were rushing away, Shi Kefa immediately realized that something was wrong, and he ran to the house where Li Yan was being held to take a look, more than ten pro-soldiers slept like dead pigs, and a section of cut rope was left on the kang, and as for Li Yan, he had long since disappeared.
