A few days have passed since the last Han army was robbed, and now it seems that the second robbery should be the last gang.

"Take him down and take care of him first!" The sect member finally spoke. This lieutenant marshal is not a completely insympathetic person, the one who escaped for his life is the captain, and the commander of the tun who pressed the grain has been killed, and it is useless to kill this insignificant petty officer.

As soon as he brought this little officer down, Li Ru immediately got up and said to Feng Shang, and then said: "Supervising the army, before the deputy marshal of the sect moved the camp the day before yesterday, he said that moving the camp boldly will only make the rear empty, and if the rebels raid with light troops, the disaster will be unpredictable. At present, the traitors have cut off the grain road several times and robbed the military rations, and they thought that the deputy marshal of the sect would retreat for the time being, and the first defense should be the last road. If the Beida camp is taken away by the rebels after that, it will be an unforeseen disaster! ”

After hearing this, the sect member's face was so ugly and ugly. He simply didn't fight with Li Ru, and looked at the prison army with blazing eyes.

Feng Shang didn't answer Li Ru's tone at all, he turned his head and said to the sect member: "Deputy Marshal, what do you think of those rebels?" ”

This posture of completely leaving Li Ru aside made the sect member overjoyed, and he hurriedly got up and stated his opinion to Feng Shang. Feng Shang waited for the sect member to finish speaking, and then asked the other twenty-seven or eight-year-old general sitting next to the sect member, "Bogui, what do you think?" ”

The general of this cousin Bogui was Gongsun Zan of Liaoxi, who had bright eyes, handsome appearance, and was quite heroic. Because he is Lu Zhi's protégé, he served as the governor of Liaodong, and he has 2,000 cavalry, so he has a little say in the military camp.

Hearing the prison army's question, Gongsun Chan smiled slightly: "Although there is a plan, it is up to the deputy marshal to decide."

The supervisor Feng Shang's style made Li Ru completely desperate, which was already a clear expression of the prison army's distrust of Dong Zhuo. Li Ru just sighed slightly and didn't say anything more.

The solution proposed by the sect member is very simple, send cavalry to patrol back and forth on the official road, and as long as there are suspicious people, they will immediately notify the sentry posts in front and behind to send troops to encircle and suppress. There is nothing particularly new about this method, it can only be said to be a very proper way to deal with it.

However, Gongsun Zhan's opinion is more special, he thinks that since those robbers have robbed tens of thousands of catties of things this time, they will definitely try to transport these things back to Guangzong. The Han army's northern and southern battalions sent many sentinels to closely monitor the various roads leading to Guangzong. After this group of robbers, don't make a noise for now, but carefully determine the path the robbers will take. They set up an ambush on the road they must pass, and when the robbers pass by, they can send a large army to surround and suppress them, and they can wipe out this bandit.

The overseer frowned slightly, Gongsun Zhan's plan sounded very right, and he asked, "I don't know how many soldiers and horses are needed?" ”

Gongsun Chan replied seriously: "The prison army, the sentinel needs the cooperation of the northern and southern battalions. If it is a siege and annihilation, it is necessary to use three or four thousand soldiers and horses. ”

He was afraid that Feng Shang would think that it was not cost-effective to do this, so he continued to explain: "This group of bandits should be the elite of the rebels, as long as they are wiped out and their bodies are thrown in front of Guangzong City, the thieves in the city will definitely be hit hard, and they will no longer dare to come out to rob the grain." It's just that now it takes more effort, but there is no need to densely cover the official road with sentry agents. It can also deter rebels, and the use of soldiers here cannot be saved. ”

"How long will that take?" Feng Shang continued to ask Gongsun Zhan.

Gongsun Chan was not exaggerating, he replied: "The time is not certain. It can be as little as five or six days, and as much as ten days. But now we have to send troops and horses, if we wait, I am afraid that those robbers will run back to Guangzong City first. ”

Feng Shang glanced at the sect member, and the sect member looked cooperative. looked at Li Ru again, and Li Ru didn't say a word. At this time, Feng Shang already understood that Dong Zhuo was resolutely unwilling to let the sect members dominate the situation of the northern and southern camps. Depressed, he could only change the topic.

This embarrassing situation finally ended temporarily when Feng Shang announced that the discussion would continue tomorrow.

Gongsun Chan did not immediately return to his residence, but stayed at the door of the big tent. The sect member invited Gongsun Chan to his residence first, and he knew that the sect member was going to win him over, so he replied politely: "I will definitely go to the deputy marshal tomorrow to disturb him." ”

After the sect member left, Gongsun Chan stopped Li Ru, who was about to leave.

Li Ru deliberately left the big tent later, and this time he was left aside by the prison army, and he was speaking for Dong Zhuo. Seeing that Gongsun Chan took the initiative to come over, he naturally couldn't let it go. The two arrived at Li Ru's residence, and as soon as they sat down, Gongsun Zhan said: "Brother Wenyou, I admire Dong Gong's conquest of Liangzhou Zhuqiang very much!" ”

After hearing this, Li Ru was quite relieved in his heart, and he replied: "Gongsun Changshi! You Baima Yicong is also a powerful man, driving away Hu Yu and breaking the yellow scarf in Mengjin. I know that you are of high character, so I have something to say to you. It's not that my lord has any personal grudges against the deputy marshal of the sect. However, his use of war is indeed inferior to Dong Gong...... The two armies can't do the order and prohibition, how can they talk about fighting! ”

Li Ru said what he was talking about, he didn't want to kill the sect members, but really hoped that Dong Zhuo would preside over military affairs. was treated so coldly by the prison guards, and he also felt extremely wronged.

Gongsun Zhan's original intention was to persuade Dong Zhuo and the sect members to work together, but he didn't expect Li Ru to insist on his opinion at this time. Gongsun Zan also tried to persuade a few words, but Li Ru's train of thought was still in his set, and the sect members couldn't do it, so they had to listen to Dong Zhuowu.

As a reckless person, Gongsun Chan knew that his ideas could not be realized, and Li Ru would adhere to Dong Zhuo's attitude no matter what. Taking advantage of the space for Li Ru to speak, Gongsun Chan interjected: "Li joins the army, this time to exterminate that small group of bandits, we must work together with the northern and southern battalions, who is the master, can this matter be let go first?" ”

Listening to Gongsun Zhan's words, Li Ru's eyes narrowed slightly. In this situation, if Li Ru has the slightest concession, it must be the sect member who is in charge. Thinking of this, Li Ru began to wonder if Gongsun Chan was originally inclined to the sect members, and now he is here to be a lobbyist for the sect members. With this thought, Li Ru's words also began to flicker, and he had a gun and a stick inside.

Gongsun Chan was born in filial piety and honesty, and he is an old fritter in officialdom, so he can't hear the meaning of Li Ru's words. He originally wanted to mediate the matter. Now he is suspicious of Li Ru, and he can't even say the normal truth.

Leaving Li Ru's residence, Gongsun Chan let out a long sigh. He is a reckless person and is free and easy, so as a long history, he dares to try to mediate the contradictions between the two marshals. Seeing that the matter had not worked out at all, Gongsun Chan was discouraged, and he made a decision to leave the camp of Guangzong tomorrow, and after returning to his station, he wrote a letter to complain of illness and took Bai Ma Yi to Liaodong.

Confirming the idea of leaving, Gongsun Chan remembered the group of Taiping Dao bandits he was going to deal with. If the Han army besieging Guangzong could really unite, he was sure that he was at least eighty percent sure that he would annihilate them. But in this situation, the eunuchs who supervised the army did not understand military affairs, let alone the way of the emperor. The internal fighting of the Han army was more fierce than the war, and it was definitely impossible to set up an ambush to annihilate the bandits who robbed the grain route.

"You're in luck!" Gongsun Chan said silently in his heart.

As Gongsun Chan expected, Zhang Luo was planning a plan to rush back to Guangzong as soon as possible. The grain transport team that attacked the Han army won a complete victory, and he led his troops to completely control the battlefield, and the transportation materials of the entire Han army fell into the hands of Taiping Dao.

Although there were more than 270 people under the combat department, because of the proper tactical arrangement, the troops did not suffer any casualties. But Zhang Luo and his gang seized more than 20,000 catties of things, and the troops could not take them all away, so they could only carry the materials to the place where the things were hidden.

If Gongsun Zhan's strategy can really be realized, it goes without saying that Zhang Luo will encounter some dangers.

On the second day of September, the sky was overcast, and there was a gust of autumn rain, and the road became muddy. Zhang Luo touched a handful of sweat, and put the two bamboo baskets carried by the bamboo flat on his shoulders on the materials piled up like a hill.

In accordance with the regulations, Bian Xi has set up liaison posts along the way, and the liaison officers at more than a dozen stations can communicate with each other at a faster speed. Even at night, he was able to send someone to deliver the letter. After the victory, this communication line was immediately operational, and it only took two days for the news of Guangzong City to reach Zhang Luo's side.

Bian Xi panted and ran to Zhang Luo, "Waiting, the people have already ordered to send three brothers from Tun to meet us." ”
