At this time, the staff officers of the General Staff Department had already erected a drawing board, and the map was pressed against a thick cloth by the pins, and the thick cloth was fixed on the drawing board, and the combat discussion was ready.

Zhang Luo knocked on the map that had been hung: "Judging from the news obtained from the captives, most of our main force has gone to Xiaquyang, and several armies of the Han army have also crossed the river to catch up. It seems that Rengong is going to have a decisive battle with Huangfu Yizhen in Guangzong. Now we have formed troops in Ganling, Qingyuan, and Ping'en to guard the Han army, do you have any ideas? ”

Lan Wei immediately said: "Now we have to send someone to catch up with them, as long as we know where they are going, we will chase after them, and we will definitely be able to catch up." If we blindly chase us behind, the Han army will return to deal with us, and we will not be able to bear it. ”

This suggestion is very good, Duan Rui hurriedly added: "I have already arranged for my brother to go to investigate, and I think it won't take long to learn the news of Taiping Dao." ”

Zhang slightly nodded, "I don't think we can wait here, now that this battle is over, the Han army will know that we have arrived here anyway, if the Han army is frightened, and the troops that are chasing or gathered in Guangzong are transferred back to deal with us, we can't bear it." ”

"What then?" Liao Chun, who was in charge of logistics, asked.

The logistics units carried a large amount of supplies, moved slowly, and the movement of troops had the greatest impact on the logistics troops.

"We have to take the initiative to make the Han army feel that they have mastered where we are, and not let the Han army know where we are." Zhang Luo replied.

"Fake news?" Sima Ju frowned.

Zhang Luo nodded, "Yes!" Fake news, but this news does not need to be spread by someone, but by the weapons in our hands! ”

"So what exactly?" Wu Lu asked, not only did Wu Lu not understand Zhang Luo's thoughts for the time being, but most of the officers attending the meeting did not understand what Zhang Luo was going to do.

Zhang Luo replied: "We have to cross the Qing River, but we can't let the Han army think that we have crossed the Qing River." ”

Everyone frowned and thought for a while, and Liao Chun, the director of the logistics department, took the lead in thinking about it: "This is to let the baggage troops cross the river, but the other troops keep harassing the Han army, so that the Han army thinks that we are still south of the Qing River?" ”

With such a reminder, everyone understands.

Duan Rui replied: "As long as the baggage troops cross the river, they will have a definite contact point when they make contact. ”

Lan Wei was not very happy, "If the troops are divided in this way, the troops on the south side of the Qing River may not be more dangerous than the baggage troops crossing the river." In case the Han army collided with the baggage troops, the main force was still on the Jiangnan side, and it was too late to rush to the rescue. ”

Zhang Luo nodded, "So attack Ganling City....... Our troops south of the Qing River had to endure hardships and hardships, and in any case we had to make the Han army scratch their heads. ”

"Qu Shuai, do you want to stay in Jiangnan?" Bian Xi asked.

Although it was a questioning tone, Bian Xi also felt that with Zhang Luo's style, it was impossible for him to stay in a more comfortable place.

Lan Wei suggested: "Qu Shuai don't stay in Jiangnan, I'll just stay here." The Han army on the south side of the Yangtze River was all sitting on the ground, and they fought several big defeats in a row, and Liu Qing was beaten like this, so they were reluctant to go out of the city. Even if the Han army is bold enough to go out of the city, I can't beat the Han army, as long as I run, the Han army can't catch up with me. Jiangbei is more tight. ”

As soon as he said this, everyone nodded.

Now the reconnaissance troops have not crossed the river, and they do not know the deployment of the Han army north of the Qinghe River, but it is south of the Qinghe River. It is not easy for the baggage troops to march, and there are still a large number of old and weak people who must follow the baggage troops. If any of the Han troops north of the Qinghe River collided with the baggage troops, and whether Zhang Luo was in charge of Jiangbei or not, it would be very different.

Since everyone thinks so, Wu Lu also volunteered to work with Lan Wei to take on the harassment work in Jiangnan, and Zhang Luo also agreed to lead the team north. After finalizing the division of labor, Lan Wei suddenly said: "Qu Shuai, in that case, let's make good use of those captured Han Yong!" ”

"Comrade Xiuhao! What do you think? Zhang saw Lan Wei's face with a malicious look, it seemed that Lan Wei had come up with a rather interesting solution.

"It's useless to be the only one who is alone, and I need to ask Qu Shuai to do me a favor." Lan Wei replied.

Zhang Luo smiled: "I don't have any help, let's talk about it first, how are you going to use these captured guys." ”

More than 500 captured Han soldiers sat naked on a hillside, surrounded by nearly 100 soldiers from Taiping Dao. Some of the Han soldiers also began to curse their companions in low voices. If they hadn't secretly put the money in their pockets when they searched the body, everyone would not have suffered this crime.

However, it must be noted that even if you curse your companion, the content of the curse is not that your companion has hidden money without permission, but that this act of hiding money without permission has actually been revealed. "Not long-eyed!" "Incompetent!" Such words are what they curse.

Seeing that the sun was turning westward, Taiping Dao had not yet come to deal with the captives, and many of the captives had an ominous premonition in their hearts. Decide early on what to do with these captives, and the captives can find some way to cope, beg for mercy and wail. None of this is a problem. But if the captives were dealt with until it was almost dark, the gloomy night would not have been able to bring people any good associations, and perhaps Taiping Dao would have executed the captives directly at night......

This thought made the captives more and more agitated, and the soldiers of Taiping Dao could only force the captives with their spears to temporarily suppress the movement.

At this moment, a group of Taiping Dao tribesmen with spears and ring-headed knives and light armor came straight to the captives. The leaders are wearing armor and look different. When he arrived in front of the Han army, he shouted for one person: "I am Zhang Luo, the commander of Taiping Daoqu, you wait for a while to eat, and then prepare to go on the road." ”

Eating and preparing for the road are the common language used when executing prisoners. Although it was not explicitly stated that the captives were to be executed, the chill in these words made the captives shudder.

The captive, who was already more clever, changed from a sitting position to a kneeling position, and began to howl: "Qu Shuai, Qu Shuai spare your life!" ”

There were many Taiping Dao soldiers with spears around these captives, and they didn't dare to pounce on Zhang Liu, who was for it, and some people took the lead, and the captives knelt down and begged for mercy.

And Zhou Cang, who was next to Zhang Luo, hurriedly crossed his hands and saluted, "Qu Shuai, if we want to attack Ganling, we should start early, if we let them go, they will continue to defend the city, and we will be in trouble." ”

It was a loud voice, and it was clear that it was meant for the captives to hear. The words of the two before and after have already made it clear that Taiping Dao was determined to kill the prisoners, and the reasons why Taiping Dao wanted to kill the prisoners. Some of the clever Han soldiers were so frightened that their and urine were about to come out, and they simply kowtowed and begged for mercy.

And some clever and clever enough Han soldiers came up with a way, and someone shouted: "Qu Shuai! Qu Shuai! If you want to attack Ganling City, please spare us, we are willing to lead the way! ”

"Cut!" Zhang Luo took a sip, "As long as you rats can help, let you attack the city, can you take it?" ”

Bian Xi, who was standing beside Zhang Luo, hurriedly leaned on Zhang Luo's ear and whispered: "Qu Shuai, it seems that these Han soldiers are clever enough. ”

Zhang Luoye said in a low voice: "Can you survive until you are captured, can you not be smart?" By the way, let's talk about it for a while, don't let the Han army see the flaws. ”

Bian Xi suppressed his smile, "Comrade Xiuhao's method, deceiving the Qing army like this, will they believe it?" ”

"Bian Shenza!" Although Zhang Luo's voice was very soft, he had a serious feeling, "Comrade Xiuhao's method is reliable!" If you talk nonsense, you will say nonsense that is bigger than the sky. Because nonsense that is bigger than the sky will make people can't believe it. Small nonsense and big nonsense bigger than the sky, the common people are more likely to believe the person who tells a big lie. The people themselves often talk little nonsense about small things, and are embarrassed to say big nonsense. Because these people don't have the ability to figure out how to make up nonsense, they feel that it is impossible for others to do this kind of nonsense. The more you listen to untrustworthy nonsense, the more you can often feel that you can't believe it. ”
