Chapter Eighty-Seven: Soul Loss
A day later, news continued to come from all walks of life, Liu Qilong occupied the Lucheng ferry, and Qin Guilin had defended the Zhaoli Bridge; Wu Yinglin, the rear army, entered Linxiang City, no wonder he didn't come to the rescue, it turned out to be a bargain.
"Why is there no news of General Hu Guozhu yet?" During the march, Qi Liang was worried.
Lu Huixiang was relieved: "Don't worry, don't worry, General Hu can't break the enemy, can't he protect himself?" ”
Lu Huixiang's comfort made Qi Liang even more annoyed, he was afraid that Hu Guozhu would retreat, what he wanted was for Hu Guozhu to break the enemy, and it was best to capture Zhu Man alive, this was the first battle he commanded was very important for his future, and more importantly, he wanted to save his original subordinates.
Qi Liang glanced at Lu Huixiang's yellow and black face, he secretly counted the pockmarks on his face, four on the left side of his face, three on the right face, a total of seven. "Lu Qianhu! What kind of person is General Hu? ”
In this battle, Lu Huixiang's performance made Qi Liang greatly appreciated, although his person is ugly, but his ability is very strong, Qi Liang knows that if you want to win, you have to rely on capable people, he takes Lu Huixiang with him and often asks for advice!
Lu Huixiang said: "General Hu is a good general who is far-sighted, resourceful, loyal, brave and good at fighting!" ”
It was all big talk, Qi Liang rolled his eyes when he heard it, knowing that he couldn't ask anything, he lowered his head and pondered.
Lu Huixiang looked ahead and said with a sudden smile: "Shizi! General Hu has news! A fast horse was coming towards the two of them.
Qi Liangqi asked: "How can Lu Qianhu conclude that it is the news of General Hu?" He was so excited in his heart that he already believed Lu Huixiang's words.
Lu Huixiang said: "That herald soldier is a veteran who knows him and still follows General Hu Guozhu for many years!" ”
Qi Liang secretly "stolen", it turned out to be like this.
"Good news! Our army won a great victory, General Hu broke the Qing army in Linxiang, killed 2,000 enemies and captured 1,000 enemies! The herald reported excitedly.
"Our army has won a great victory, and General Hu has broken the Qing army!"
"Our army has won a great victory, and General Hu has broken the Qing army!"
The news of the victory was passed through the long ranks, and the soldiers were demoralized, smiling and ecstatic.
"Did Zhu Man catch it?" Qi Liang asked urgently.
The herald said: "Zhu Manwei is not in the army!" ”
Qi Liang couldn't help but be deeply disappointed, and asked, "Can there be imprisoned or enslaved?" ”
The herald replied: "The captives have not found out, but the enslaved people are hundreds!" ”
I think Hu Guozhu was too late to interrogate, and the specific situation is not very clear. Qi Liang was now in a hurry to see what was going on, and waved his hand and ordered loudly: "Accelerate to the northwest!" ”
Lu Huixiang asked in surprise: "Shizi! Let's not go to Linxiang City? ”
Qi Liang said: "Let's go to Yanglou Division to meet General Hu Guozhu!" He was also worried about the vanished Mongol cavalry, and it was now better to gather all the scattered forces so as not to be crushed by each one.
In the evening, Qi Liang led his troops to arrive at the Yanglou Division, Hu Guozhu happily went out of the camp to greet him, and when he saw Qi Liang, he knelt on the ground and paused: "I was shocked to hear that the prince was in danger, and I was so anxious to do my job!" ”
Qi Liang helped Hu Guozhu up and said with relief: "General Hu broke the Qing army, congratulations!" ”
Hu Guozhu was humble: "They are all wise and wise, and they are strategizing!" ”
Qi Liang smiled and shook his hand, asking, "Why is Zhu Man not in the army?" ”
Hu Guozhu ridiculed: "That Zhu Man is greedy for life and afraid of death, and he will not come to Linxiang at all!" ”
"Where is he now?"
Hu Guozhu said: "I heard that Zhu Man is in Xianning, and there are still more than 200 miles away from Zhaoli Bridge at the junction of Hunan and Hubei. ”
Qi Liang frowned and asked, "Do you know the situation in Xianning?" ”
Hu Guozhu replied: "I don't know! ”
Qi Liang had a temper, and this time he almost killed himself because of inaccurate information, and ordered in a deep voice: "Send spies to carefully investigate the situation in Xianning!" This kind of spy sent out at the time of war can only play the role of scout, he does not report much hope, if he wants to get information early and accurately, he has to rely on the hidden intelligence network, then he remembered the Nighthawk group, it seems that either the Nighthawk group must be transferred back, or another intelligence team must be formed.
"The spies have already been dispatched!" Hu Guozhu accompanied Qi Liang and said as he walked.
Walking into the camp, after Qi Liang greeted the generals, he couldn't wait to interrogate the Qing prisoners, and Hu Guozhu had already told him that he had not found his original subordinates.
Three disgraced captives were taken in, two of whom Qi Liang knew, one was a bruiser who had kicked him in the ass, and the other was his chief when he was a servant, and Qi Liang had specially chosen them.
The Tyrant Pawn and the Captain knelt on the ground and trembled, while the other man held his head proudly and looked unyielding.
"Who's down there, report your name!" Qi Liang leaned lazily on the chair, and asked with a blank look, the two old acquaintances under the scene in front of him should not have recognized him yet.
The high-minded man said proudly: "Uncle Hadaoji! "It's very arrogant.
Qi Liang was shocked, stood up suddenly, and shouted: "Drag it down and cut it!" ”
Everyone was startled, but before they could react, Qi Liang drank again: "Don't go yet!" ”
A few powerful guards pounced on him and carried Hadaomu away, "Alas! Alas! You ......," Hadaoji was frightened, "spare your life! Spare your life! "It turned out to be just a person who was very.
Just one sentence was beheaded, and the Tyrant Pawn and the Elder were so frightened that they lost their souls. After a while, the guard handed a plate and said, "Shizi! Hadaomu has been chopped! "Bloodied in the middle of the plate was the head of a pale man with closed eyes.
The Tyrannical Pawn and Shi Chang became fearless wanderers at a glance, and their bodies trembled as if they were swinging.
It was also the first time for Qi Liang to look at such a hideous and terrifying human head, and he glanced at it and looked away in horror, and scolded secretly: "If you cut it, you can cut it, what are you bringing it in for?" ”
Qi Liang waved his hand for the guards to quickly put their heads down, he thought that he would definitely have nightmares tonight, and he thought that the bloody plate did not know how many heads had been served like this? Have you ever served food? Thinking wildly, he wanted to gag, secretly twisted his thighs, and secretly scolded himself for thinking about eating?
"Who's down there, report your name?" He straightened up and focused.
The Tyrannical Pawn and Shi Chang didn't know how to answer in frustration, Qi Liang raised his eyebrows and snorted heavily: "Hmm——! ”
Shi Chang was so frightened that he trembled, and hurriedly said: "The small money is expensive!" ”
Money is expensive? Qi is funny, rich to hide from wealth? "Drag it down and hit the Ten Army Sticks again!" He shouted with a solemn face.
"Spare your life! Spare your life! He was dragged upside down and cried.
A moment later, Shi Chang was dragged in like a dead dog and thrown beside the fang-stricken pawn, his face was pale, blood oozed from his buttocks, and the Ten Army Sticks were so painful that he could not stand on his knees and could only crawl on the ground. The fangless pawn didn't dare to look at it, and he was so scared that he didn't know what his turn would be next?
"Who's down there, report your name?" This was the third time Qi Liang had asked the same sentence.
The fangs trembled, shrunk their teeth, and they couldn't answer.
Qi Liang squinted and snorted: "Hmm——! ”
The fang-stricken pawn trembled and stammered, "Small, small horse, horse river three-three-three!" He closed his eyes and didn't dare to look or listen, and the last time he asked at this time, it was a slash and a dozen, and what was it that fell back to him?
Qi Liang leaned back in his chair and asked slowly, "Do you know why I killed Hadaoji?" ”
The tyrannical pawn waited for a long time and didn't hear that he was trembling about his disposition, and suddenly heard just a question, Daxi, the adults in the hall finally changed their habits, this is good, this is good!
Qi Liang asked again: "Do you know why?" ”
Shi Chang insisted on straightening up, shaking his head blankly with the Stormtooth Pawn.
Qi Liang hated and said: "Because he is a Manchurian!" He then asked, "Do you know why I want to pay for it?" ”
Shi Chang and the Tyrant Pawn still shook their heads blankly, Qi Liang glared at Shi Chang, and said coldly: "Because Qian Duogui is proud of being a Manchurian and doesn't want to be a Han!" ”
Shi Chang shuddered again, Qi Liang stopped teasing them, and formally interrogated: "I heard that you two know some things about the guards of the prince of Pingxi?" ”
Shi Chang and the Tyrant Pawn hurriedly shook their heads: "My lord! The little ones don't know! ”
Qi Liang slapped the startled wood and snorted coldly: "Huh? Are you two really going to die? ”
Shi Chang hurriedly knelt on the ground: "My lord! The little one only knows that several of the guards of the prince of Pingxi were commanded by Zhu Mandu on the way-" Suddenly Jue called wrong, and immediately changed his words: "No, it was caught by Zhu Man's dog thief, and I don't know anything else!" ”
"How many people have been arrested?"
"Four people have been arrested!"
Qi Liang thought that in addition to the booklet and Liu Hushi, there were two other people who were arrested, so who were the two? Then he asked urgently, "Where are they now?" ”
Shi Chang shook his head: "The little one doesn't know!" ”
Qi Liang glared at the fangless pawn again and asked, "Ma Hesan, what about you?" ”
Stormtooth said: "I don't know the little one! ”
"Haven't you seen them among the servants of the rear army?"
"The little one has never seen those people!" ”
Qi Hao was disappointed for a while, but listening to the pamphlet, they did not go south with the Qing army, and there was a little bit of hope, maybe they were locked up somewhere! After all, they are repeat offenders!
Seeing that he couldn't ask anything, Qi Liang waved his hand: "Escort them down!" ”
Shi Chang glanced back at Qi Liang when he was dragged down, and he felt that Qi Liang was a little familiar with the question, as if he had seen it somewhere, but he couldn't remember it for a while, and went down in confusion.
