For Liu Quanan, it is of course to learn from the pain, but it must not be limited to this, otherwise the next tough battle will not be fought?

Even if you are afraid in your heart, you still have to face it.

But the next thing made Liu Quanan's heart rise to his throat all of a sudden.

"General Qiyu caught a dozen thieves at the bottom of the mountain. It could be a thief's spy! ”

"What!"

Liu Quanan was really taken aback. The spies of the thieves have already arrived, doesn't this mean that the vanguard of the army is also about to arrive?

It's coming so fast!

"Bring them up!"

Liu Quanan took a deep breath and forced himself to keep himself calm.

It's a blessing or a curse, and it's a disaster that can't be avoided.

Anyway, it's already reached this point, and even cowardice won't be of much use.

Besides, you have to pretend to be fearless in front of the captives.

You can't lose in momentum.

Soon, more than a dozen men who were tied up were brought forward.

Liu Quanan glanced at it and saw that all these people had shaved off their braids, and he was even more sure in his heart.

"Hmph, the thief is really bold, and he dares to send troops to investigate in broad daylight. Is General Ben really a vegetarian? ”

Liu Quanan roared angrily and said: "Quickly recruit from the truth, how many thieves are coming, how many cavalry, how many infantry, how many artillery?" ”

The so-called knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent is invincible.

Since there is an opportunity to send it to the door, Liu Quanan will naturally not miss it.

Using these spies to find out the bottom of the Ming army is tantamount to being very beneficial to the Qing army.

"The general has misunderstood, we are local woodcutters and hunters, you have caught the wrong person."

"Yes, General, we are by no means thieves."

"General, we have been wronged."

"Fart!"

Liu Quanan angrily reprimanded: "Is General Ben a child?" If you are real woodcutters, how can you cut off your braids? Don't you know that shaving your hair and keeping braids is the best policy of the new dynasty? ”

The men looked at each other. Strictly speaking, there is nothing wrong with what the other party said, and it is indeed their decision to shave their braids.

But that's because it's easy to get braided by tree branches when chopping firewood and hunting in the mountains, and it is very inconvenient and dangerous to keep braids.

After all this consideration, they cut off their braids and changed their hair to a short one.

When it comes to how to prove their identities and save their lives, a group of men racked their brains to think of reasons.

"General Qiyu, we really didn't mean to cut off our braids. There are many trees in the mountains, and the shrubs are especially dense where we cut wood and hunt, and in this case, if we keep braids, we are likely to be scraped, and in serious cases, we may even have a life-threatening fear. ”

The leader swallowed and foamed, and then continued: "If we are really thieves, we should have a bun, and we should not have short hair after shaving." ”

Liu Quanan frowned when he heard this.

That sounds a little bit of truth.

It makes sense, but Liu Quanan won't believe what the other party says so easily.

Even if these people were really woodcutter hunters, Liu Quanan couldn't let them go.

They have already seen clearly the reality of the Qing army's garrison, if they tell the Ming army in the future, wouldn't Liu Quanan's ambush be all in vain?

"Hmph, I see that you don't cry when you don't see the coffin. Come on, pull this guy out of the mouth full of lies and behead him! ”

Liu Quanan gave an order, and two of his own soldiers dragged the man who had just spoken out.

Two men pressed him to his knees, and another raised his knife high and slashed at his neck.

But at the sound of a pop, the head rolled to the ground. Blood gushed out from his neck and even splashed to Liu Quanan, who was not far away.

Liu Quanan showed a disgusted expression on his face, and secretly said that he was unlucky.

It is said that bad luck happens when the blood of a dead person is splashed.

Although Liu Quanan doesn't believe in evil very much, it is still a little embarrassing that this kind of thing happened.

The other men who were arrested were just scared stupid.

This general is too cruel, isn't he? Just a few sentences and cut people down?

Hiss!

But they all tell the truth, and if they tell the truth, will they be killed?

"General Ben wants to see who dares to lie and confuse the people here. If you don't recruit from the truth, you will all end up with this person. ”

I have to say that Liu Quanan's murderous move played a role.

A group of men kowtowed like pounding garlic.

"The general spares his life, the general spares his life. We are indeed woodcutters and hunters in the mountains, but we have also spotted an army marching in this direction. ”

"Huh?"

Liu Quanan's anger rose in his heart when he heard the previous sentence, but then he was very satisfied.

"Tell me, how many thieves are coming?"

"It looks mighty, and the villain can't see it clearly."

"What a waste, what do you want?"

A fierce look flashed in Liu Quanan's eyes, and then ordered: "Behead him." ”

The two soldiers dragged him out like a dead dog, and then killed him.

"The general spares his life, the general spares his life. I've said everything I need to say. I really don't know about the rest. ”

But when I heard a scream, the cry for mercy stopped abruptly.

The scene was as silent as death.

Everyone didn't dare to come out, for fear that the next tragic death would be themselves.

Fortunately, Liu Quanan then ordered: "Drag all these people out and detain them, General Ben doesn't believe that he can't pry open their mouths." ”

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

It's better to be locked up than to lose your head right away, and it's a day to live.

Liu Quanan secretly calculated in his heart: The thieves came so quickly, if what these people said was true, they might just come as a vanguard. Liu Quanan originally planned to annihilate the main force of the Ming army when it came, but now it seems that he can only change his strategy.

Fortunately, he has been urging the soldiers to set up camp, otherwise I am afraid that the camp has not been set up yet.

"Give the order to everyone to be ready for war."

Liu Quanan has already made up his mind, no matter what, this battle will be fought with the Ming army.

Retreating to the city is nothing more than a slow death. There is still a chance to survive with a shot.

...

...

The distance from Yangzhou to Changzhou is not far, and it is Li Shishi who is responsible for commanding the troops as the vanguard.

As the deputy general of the Tiger Army, Li Shishi's status in the army is second only to Zhao Xu.

Zhao Xu, as a close minister of the Son of Heaven, must stay by His Majesty the Emperor to protect the Son of Heaven, so this vanguard officer can only let Li Shishi do it.

The reason why Li Dingguo's generals were not selected was naturally because His Majesty the Emperor hoped that his descendants would have the opportunity to play.

Only when there is an opportunity to play can we make meritorious contributions. As for whether or not you can make meritorious contributions, it depends on your real ability.

Li Shishi has been holding his breath in his heart since he returned from Dengzhou, and vowed to make a great contribution to prove himself.

Although the defeat of Dengzhou was not his fault alone, he was extremely competitive and could not tolerate a single stain.
