After hearing this, Bian Xi turned his body completely away from the captive. For if he did not, he was afraid that the captives would see his face a little distorted by holding back laughter. Lan Wei's deception tactic was to first spread the military plan of the Taiping Dao to attack Ganling among the captives, and then release them - so that the news could be released.

Unexpectedly, after Zhang Luo listened to it, everyone appreciated it, and personally revised the plan, and now he has put forward a set of rhetoric for making up nonsense. Bian Xi is a very clever person, and after listening to Zhang Luo's rhetoric, he felt that this was a fallacy and heresy, but this fallacy seemed to have a strange convincing power, which made him feel that he could not ignore it, but should seriously think about it. This feeling stimulated Bian Xi's emotions again, and he couldn't help but want to laugh.

Finally suppressed the laughter, Bian Xi asked in a low voice: "Qu Shuai, how did you come up with this?" ”

Zhang Luo replied in a low voice with a straight face: "How can I come up with nothing, let's say a few more words, and then we can act." ”

The captives watched as the person who could decide their life and death whispered to each other, but they didn't know what the two were talking about. If they wanted to kill people mercilessly, they were afraid that they had already given the order, but they whispered like they were planning something extremely unfavorable to the captives, which made the captives even more uneasy.

At this time, Bian Xi turned his head, walked a few steps forward towards the prisoners who were kneeling on the ground, and then shouted loudly: "If we want to let you go, this is not difficult!" ”

"Please spare your life!"

"Qu Shuai did a good job and spared our lives! We will never fight with Qu Shuai again! ”

The captives are wailing! But there was hope in the voice.

Bian Xi shouted: "If you want to live, I will let you go, but you have to sign a note for me, and when you return to Ganling City, you will give us an internal response." We will soon fight under the city of Ganling, and if you don't respond at that time, we will give the note you signed to the Taishou guarding Ganling, what do you think he will do to you? ”

The captives were stunned, and some of them were frightened by the signature, but some of the smart ones straightened their necks and shouted: "Qu Shuai, I am willing to sign the document!" I will definitely give Taiping Dao an internal response. ”

Someone took the lead, and the rest of the matter was much easier, and more than 500 prisoners signed the note and pressed their fingerprints. Then Zhang Luo ordered them to be given clothes, some tattered weapons, and let the captives go.

Looking at the backs of the captives, Bian Xi suddenly asked, "If we really hit Ganling City, will they really give us an internal response?" ”

Zhang Luo was stunned for a moment, and then laughed, "You have to think about a question, let's fight under Ganling City, but how do we find these guys?" ”

After hearing this, Bian Xi thought for a while, "That's right! There's no way we're going to find these guys! ”

After finishing speaking, Bian Xi patted his head, "My acting is too real, I believe it myself!" ”

The next day, it rained, and the river was cleared.

What Zhang Luo saw was a wide river rushing like an excited dragon. The rushing water swept everything it could, and the aquatic weeds, the leaves and branches that fell into the river rolled up and down in the river, and went away with the torrent in a northeasterly direction. The river water slapped against the rocks on the shore, splashing pieces of mist, and the river wind wrapped the water droplets on Zhang Luo's face, and the light rain gave him a feeling like a rainstorm.

Marching and fighting on rainy days is no stranger to Zhang Luo, standing by the Qinghe River without fighting life, the look on Zhang Luo's face is much more dignified than marching and fighting in the rain. The original military plan was only to catch up with the main force of Taiping Dao who stayed in Guangzong, and things would be much easier to do after returning to the team. But the main force of Taiping Dao had already gone north up and down Quyang, and it was Liu Qing who was facing the dog skin plaster, and Zhang Luo could only change the original battle plan.

Liu Qing escaped with his life in the face of a well-planned battle, and Zhang Luo could only continue to revise his military plan. It was normal for him to think that if he collected the boats on the riverside, first transported the baggage troops and the old and weak across the river, and controlled the boats and the place where he crossed the river, he would be able to let the elite troops flow and fight on both sides of the Qing River. Once he found the main force of Taiping Dao, Zhang Luo immediately gathered his troops and rushed over as quickly as possible. Because there are preconceived ideas about Qinghe, and even if you think that it is really not possible, it is not impossible to swim in an armed way.

The wide and turbulent Qinghe in front of him ruthlessly shattered Zhang Luo's thoughts, and he did not give up and sent a few soldiers into the water to try. The warriors who went into the water were all proficient in water, but the rushing river quickly swept the warriors who were proficient in water to the bottom. Fortunately, Zhang Luo let them tie a rope around their waists before they came out, which can be regarded as pulling people up, and it took a long time to squeeze them to save people back.

The main force of Taiping Dao and the Han army had already cleaned up the boats on the river, and Zhang Luo was faced with a situation where there were no ships available.

"The boats are gone." The reconnaissance team sent by Bian Xi also did not find the boat: "There are boats at the Ganlingguo ferry, but the ferry is guarded by hundreds of Han troops. The place where the ferry is guarded is only afraid that there are trebuchets. If we hit the ferry, we can only attack. ”

The ferry port is very close to Ganling City, and it is likely that the ferry will encounter the problem of the Han army in the city. Even if the Han army can break the attack, the defenders of the ferry will not wait there so easily. If they row the boat away, it will be in vain to hit the ferry.

In Zhang Luo's original plan, Lan Wei and Wu Lu only had to hit Ganling City and harass them. The elite troops in Zhang Luo's hands are only 1,000, and there are only seven or eight thousand Qing troops in Ganling City. After staying under Ganling City for a little longer, he was afraid that he would be annihilated by the whole army, and Zhang Luo could not afford to fight a war of attrition at this time.

"Qu Shuai, if you had withdrawn from Jijia Town earlier, you should have been able to catch up with the main force. Now that we are separated by a river, how can the main force know that we have rushed over. The herald guard looked at the wide river and couldn't help complaining.

Of course, Zhang Luo regretted it in his heart, but it was only two days late, and the situation was completely different. But since this is already the case, Zhang Luo did not waste time and wasted his spare time, and forcibly took back his thoughts: "Comrade Zhong Shan, is there a place to go downstream?" ”

"If you want to cross the river in winter, you definitely can't now." Cao Kun, who was born as a boatman, gave quite professional advice, and he gave a concluding remark, "If you want to cross the river now, you must rely on a boat." If you want to cross the river quickly, you have to find a big boat. ”

Zhang slightly sighed, "Let's go downstream, we must cross the Qinghe River and catch up with the team." ”

"Oh!" The brothers around just answered.

Pei Yuanshao said a little unwillingly: "If only the people could order a boat to be sent to pick us up." ”

Zhang Luo sighed: "The main force of Taiping Dao will not go south of the Qinghe River again!" ”

This judgment is actually very easy to determine, because the "Great Han Army God" Huangfu Song came and finally defeated Zhang Liang. It was learned from the captured Liu Qing's subordinates that several armies of the Han army had crossed the Qing River and were preparing to pursue the defeated army of Taipingdao. In such a situation, it is impossible for the main force of Taiping Dao to turn around and fight back.

"Comrade Yuan Shao! The plan has changed, and we no longer have to think about walking back and forth on both sides of the Qing River, nor do we need to find the main force of Taiping Dao. You go and pass on my military order to Comrade Xiuhao and Comrade Shouqing: lead the troops to feint to attack Ganling first, and if there is a flaw, break the city directly. I took the rest of the people down the river. You remember, you just go to Ganling to make a false shot, just scare and scare the small town and Wubao near Ganling, and then you turn around and feint Qingyuan County. We are looking for a ferry along the river to cross the river, and if you help us buy time, we will do our best. ”

"Yes!" was entrusted with such a difficult task, but Pei Yuanshao did not have the slightest timidity.

Zhang nodded slightly and said, "You must be careful!" ”

........

"If an official or military breaks into a private house, the people can kill themselves." Lan Wei stood on a street corner outside Ganling City, slowly reading the text on a notice. Not far away, the residents of Ganling were looking curiously at Lan Wei and the troops behind him.

Lan Wei and Wu Lu arrived outside Ganling during the day, similar to other cities of the era, because the population was concentrated in the main city and there were also a large number of residential areas outside the city. And the war seems to have a very limited impact on the residents outside Ganling City, seeing Lan Wei and Wu Lu leading troops outside the city, the residents are just a little nervous and a little curious, and there is no sign of a vulture.

In the original wishful thinking, Lan Wei thought that if he suddenly appeared under the city with his troops, the people living outside the city would be frightened, and then spread the news to the city. But now the people are so calm, and the military discipline of Taiping Dao strictly harasses the people, and Lan Wei can only honestly accept the onlookers of the people.
