"If I'm not mistaken, Wangdu County is fifty miles away from Puyin County, to say the least, ......" Zhang Shiping couldn't believe it, or there was a feeling of unreality.

He remembers very well that the two places are about 50 miles apart, even if it is less than 50 miles, they can set off at half of the time (six o'clock in the morning) and arrive at half of the afternoon (twelve o'clock at noon)?

It's really nothing in the afterlife, and the journey of more than 20 kilometers can be reached in more than half an hour. At most, if you count traffic jams and other factors, you can definitely get there within an hour. In this era, hurry up, and of course you can arrive in half an hour.

The problem is that this is a march, taking into account the surrounding guards, taking into account the physical strength of the non-commissioned officers, and at the same time the speed of the baggage troops, the standard day is a hundred miles, that is, fifty kilometers. Considering that Liu Tao is a militia group, it is not as good as those elite soldiers, and at the same time, he has to stop and rest and train for an hour, and the standard is only sixty or seventy miles a day.

However, in three hours, he was able to reach Wangdu County, and it is no wonder that Zhang Shiping felt incredible.

"Are we that fast today?" Not to mention Zhang Shiping, even Lu Yan felt incredible. Compared with the day before yesterday, it was not a level at all, and at this marching speed, it would not take more than five days to reach Julu County and join Lu Zhi.

No, no, no, the problem is not here! Lu Yan thought of what Liu Tao said, Lu Zhi was around May to surround the thieves in Guangzong County. In other words, there must be a lot of Yellow Turban thieves in Julu County now. At this time, it is not a joke to plunge into it, and one accidentally loses his life!

"Maybe the soldiers had a good rest yesterday, and there were no thieves along the way." Liu Tao replied casually, "That's right, let's go to Wangdu County first, and if you're lucky, you'll rest in it for one night tonight, and you'll be able to hurry up tomorrow." ”

"It's also ......" Liu Tao is not worried, what else can Zhang Shiping say, looking at the soldiers below one or two full of energy, it really doesn't look like a rapid march.

In this way, even if the enemy comes suddenly, he will not worry about rushing to meet the battle and suffering a heavy defeat.

Especially when I came to Wangdu County, it was getting closer and closer to Lunu County, which was governed by Zhongshan County, and it was also about fifty miles away, a day or so. As the saying goes, Zhang Shiping and Su Shuang, if they weren't worried that they would suddenly encounter the Yellow Turban Thief and cause their previous efforts to be wasted, they really wanted to put on their wings and fly back.

It is less than three miles away from Wangdu County, and the outlines of the city have already appeared on the horizon, and the scouts sent out also came back at this moment to report the situation over there: "Report, Wangdu County County Order, Kaecheng has surrendered!" ”

"I actually surrendered......" Liu Tao sighed, this is too easy, this expedition is really not difficult.

"Brother, don't take it lightly!" Lu Yan stepped forward, "This Wangdu County and Anxi County are the Acropolis of Lunu County, and there are generally 1,000 to 2,000 soldiers stationed there...... Of course, perhaps the Yellow Turban Thief does not have this concept. ”

"Anxi County?" Liu Tao was curious about the name of the county.

"It was in a county south of Lunu County, one south and one north of Wangdu County...... Brother seems to be interested in this county? Lu Yan had to explain, and then asked curiously.

"Oh, nothing...... That is, Wangdu County, it is said that there will be about one or two thousand defenders, right? However, the county commander came forward to surrender, do you think we should accept his surrender? Liu Tao immediately changed the subject.

Anxi County, that should be the place where Liu Bei was appointed as a county lieutenant after the war, right?

Also, Jizhou is erosive, and almost all the officials in various counties and counties have been purged, and there are naturally as many vacant official positions as there are. The meritorious service of this war should be given priority to be placed as officials on the Jizhou side. Sure enough, I need to operate it, otherwise I still have to come here as an official......

"Since the prefectural order has surrendered, of course it should be accepted, and this is my position as a crusading army. But you must be careful of deception, this is the attitude that a march should have! Lu Yan reminded.

"It's easy!" Liu Tao grinned, and then used the 'Wind Dragon's Insight', Wangdu County was ten miles away, all within his surveillance range, at least for a day.

No abnormalities were found around the county, and no yellow turban thieves were found waiting for an opportunity. But the county is ...... It's very different!

"The people of the county seem to be driven to the corner, and the location of the main road of the county, although there are many people. Pedestrians, vendors, and shops are all open...... It's just ......," Liu Tao slowly said what he 'saw'.

"But how?" Lu Yan said with concern.

"If you take a closer look, they are all young and strong, and many of them have also checked the places where the weapons are hidden......" The corners of Liu Tao's mouth raised slightly.

This prefectural order had a set of orders, on the one hand, to deceive the surrender, and on the other hand, to order the soldiers to disguise themselves as pedestrians, vendors, and associates, and presumably to 'welcome' them on the main road. When the army enters the middle of the road, they suddenly attack, and then they can't say that they will really be caught off guard.

It's a pity that if someone else is replaced, he will be hit in the future, but he can deal with him, and the two tricks of ambush and deception are half useless. Yes, due to the scope of exploration, there may be situations that cannot be seen, but most of the time, these two strategies are ineffective for him.

"Tell you to go down and get ready for battle, and see who fights who is caught off guard!" Liu Tao immediately ordered to go down.

"Whoa!" Lu Yan immediately reported the situation.

Zhang Shiping and Su Shuang looked at each other, how did Liu Tao know the situation in the county? The key is that Lu Yan actually believed it, and when he reported it, the commanders immediately paid attention to it, obviously it was still three miles away from the county seat.

"This Liu Tao has a big secret hidden in his body!" Su Shuang said in a low voice.

"What if there's a secret?" Zhang Shiping shook his head, "When we get to Lunu, we will have to go our separate ways, and we may not have the opportunity to meet again in the future." ”

They are just businessmen, and Liu Tao is not only an officer, but also a member of the Han clan. Before, Liu Tao had just formed a militia group and lacked everything, so he was willing to accept the hire and escort them south. If you really want to calculate it, others took the risk to escort them south, even if it was an employment relationship, the two families still owed Liu Tao a favor.

"Haven't you ever thought that strange goods can live?" Su Shuang suddenly put forward a concept, "He hasn't really gotten up yet, it's not too late to send charcoal in the snow!" ”

"Haha, I thought it was just me!" Zhang Shiping laughed, "It's just that I'm not the patriarch, and I have to go back and ask for instructions!" ”

"How can you hesitate to do business, how can you think too much about business opportunities?" Su Shuang shook his head, "Tonight, I will promise him that the Su family will fully support him!" ”

"Brother Su is really bold!" Zhang Shiping shook his head, Su Shuang is the son-in-law of the Su family, the heir of the serious eight hundred, and naturally he can be regarded as a man of his word. But he can't, the Zhang family has a big business, and there is a marriage alliance with the Zhen family, so he is not good at specializing.
