Chapter 141: Impostor
"M, I know how the blind man Li would give up the fat on the side of his mouth" Chang Yu couldn't help but scolded in a low voice, one of the main purposes of the thief out of Shaanxi is to plunder money, since the big families in Jiexiu City must not be looted, the Fan family is so famous in Jiexiu, and there is also a business in Jiexiu City, so it was naturally recruited, presumably as soon as he got the news, he came over non-stop!
Thinking about Chang Yu, he is also secretly lucky, he is really stealing food, even if he is a step late, he is afraid that he will not be able to drink the soup, but at this time, it seems that the situation is not so optimistic, as soon as he picks up the bowl, people will come to grab food!
"What should I do, let's go quickly!" Wu Mengming was extremely anxious, he was timid and spared his life, and when he heard that the thief army was coming, and the strength was more than three times that of the army, he immediately panicked.
"How's the silver?" Chang Yu asked.
"Moving, less than three cars" One car can carry 1,000 catties, that is, 10,000 taels of silver, that is, less than 30,000 taels.
"Do you know where Tang Potian is at this time?" Chang Yu asked again, Tang Potian's three hundred military guards were backups, but they rode alone and were left far behind by Chang Yu.
"It is estimated that at most at this time, it will be to Pingyao"
Chang Yu pondered for a while: "The meat in the mouth can't be spit out, Lao Wu, you live here, urge it to hurry up and ship, and our family will stop the thief army, otherwise even if we set off at this time, we will be caught up if we have a silver cart to drag us not far away."
"Ah, if you're leaving, here...... There are still many Fan family members in the fort...... "Wu Mengming was terrified, afraid that Chang Yu would take people away, and he would not be able to hold down his position, after all, there are nearly 100 families in the fort, if it is the opposite, then he will not be able to become meat sauce."
It's really a cowardly fool who only recognizes money, Chang Yu scolded secretly, but he had to comfort him: "Our family left all your subordinates, you only need to watch Fan Yongkui and his father Fan Ming, others don't dare to move, and those family members are being detained in a side courtyard at this time, no one dares to resist, and no one knows what the situation is outside, and no one knows the true identity of our others, you are afraid to beg!" ”
Saying this, Wu Mengming was a little relieved, thinking about it, who would dare to move with the knife on the neck of the head of the Fan family, and besides, they were convinced that they were thieves and had no intention of resisting at all, but Chang Yu led seventy people to block the three hundred thieves, thinking about it, I was still afraid.
"After our family leaves, you immediately close the north and south gates, and once the silver is loaded, leave quickly from the north gate." Chang Yu patted Wu Mengming's shoulder as he spoke, turned to leave, and said to a brocade guard beside him: "Go north quickly and give Tang Potian an order, let him come and answer quickly."
"Big ...... General, general" Before Chang Yu walked out of the courtyard, Wu Mengming chased after him and asked in a low voice: "After the matter is completed, the father and son of the Fan family ......"
Chang Yu was silent for a while, he originally intended to kill Fan Ming's father and son, after all, these two people were the pioneers of the Fan family's collaboration with the enemy and betraying the country, and Fan Yongdou was just a son inheriting his father's business and carrying it forward.
"We don't need to do it" Chang Yu suddenly smiled playfully and turned to leave.
Out of the Fan family's compound, he turned over and got on his horse, and went straight to the main street to ride his horse to the south.
At this time, there was almost no figure in Fanjia Fort, only a few brocade guards patrolled back and forth with knives, as for the people in the fort, they had already been strictly ordered not to leave the house, otherwise there would be no forgiveness for killing, and now they are secretly begging these thieves not to suffer evil, how dare they disobey the order to be outcropped.
"What about the eldest brother, shall we resist? Or an ambush? Chunxiang was a little excited, I don't know if he was excited or nervous.
"It's snowy all over the ground, it's easy to show traces, how to ambush, you can only outwit it" Chang Yu already had an idea in his heart, but he was still thinking about how to do it seamlessly.
"How to outwit?" Chunxiang asked again.
"We can pretend to be thieves, why can't we pretend to be the Fan family" Chang Yu smiled slightly, and Chunxiang Jiang Quanrang froze.
As soon as a few people arrived at the south gate, Cheng Ming had already run down from the castle wall, with a nervous look on his face: "Lord Factory Governor, what should I do?" ”
"Do you have an idea?" Chang Yu asked rhetorically!
Cheng Mingwei pondered and said: "Only hard resistance, although our numbers are small, but the victory is that they are all cavalry, and the lowly subordinates are good at riding and shooting with strong bows to suppress, it is better to go up and do a fight, even if they are not defeated, they can also retreat safely, and most of the infantry of the thief army will definitely not be able to catch up."
Chang Yu shook his head: "The thief army is good at fighting, and the thief army is definitely a certain main force under the thief's banner, even elite, but you have little experience, and secondly, although he has most of the infantry, he may not be short of bows and arrows, and we are running overnight, people are tired and tired, and the thief army is several times larger than me, it is impossible to resist hard, and besides, although we can retreat calmly, but what about the silver car?" I'm afraid I'll be caught up in less than ten miles."
"Then ......" Cheng Ming was also stunned! That can at least stop it, maybe Commander Tang will come at a critical moment......"
"What if you can't make it?"
"That^...... There is really no good way for his subordinates," Cheng Ming shook his head.
"Instead of sending it up to resist, it is better to wait for the rabbit to pretend that the Fan family will use this village fort to besiege and kill the thieves!" Chang Yu spoke his mind.
Cheng Ming's eyes lit up, but then they darkened again: "Although this method is good, if the thieves besiege and don't attack, how about trapping us here?"
"It's okay, Commander Tang's men and horses will be here, and when the time comes, we will make an exception, those thieves are not dead," Jiang Quan said on the side.
"If the thief also has backup, plus the men and horses under the command of Tang have been exhausted by now, if the enemy army has no backup, they can still surround and kill it, if it is backup, it is equivalent to giving the thief a head" Cheng Ming is the commander of the guard after all, and he has actual combat experience, and he has unique insights into the marching formation, unlike a eunuch guinea pig like Chunxiang Jiang Quan.
In fact, this also reflects the criticized side of the eunuchs and the army in the Ming Dynasty, who don't understand anything and like to point fingers.
Chang Yu nodded, and agreed with Cheng Ming's opinion very much: "So you have to outwit it, pretend to be a member of the Fan family, show weakness to them, lead him into the fort, and kill him violently."
"This plan is feasible," Cheng Ming nodded thoughtfully.
"But there is still a little flaw in this plan" Chang Yu immediately frowned: "We are all from Beijing, the accent is wrong, I am afraid of suspicion"
Eh, everyone reacted immediately, and they couldn't say a mouthful of Beijing films, even if they were fools, they didn't know it was right.
"There are people in Jinyiwei who can speak local dialect" Cheng Ming patted his thigh, and Chang Yu immediately woke up, yes, Jinyiwei spies are simply omnipotent, and this time there are people transferred by Wu Mengming from Taiyuan, and now they are being used.
So someone immediately went to find the Jinyi Guard spies.
Chang Yu went up to the castle wall, took a brief look, and then squatted on the ground with Cheng Ming and a few people with small wooden sticks, discussing how to arrange it, and at this time, people could be seen on the official road in the south, and the thief army was coming.
Finally here, finally met, Chang Yu, who was standing on the castle wall, looked at the thieves who were getting closer and closer to the south, clenched his fists, and finally met the regular thieves when he crossed over to this point, and he was a little excited when he thought about it.
More than 300 thieves came from the south, and in front were 34 cavalrymen, one in the center was a middle-aged man in his thirties with a rough appearance and leather armor, who was talking and laughing with his subordinates at this time.
But when he walked to the entrance of Zhangyuan Village, his eyes narrowed, and he looked at the messy horseshoe prints on the snow at the intersection with doubts, and looked up at Fanjiabao, and saw that there were many people on the fort wall.
"You are waiting for ......" The rugged man was just about to speak, when a person next to him suddenly said: "Boss Sun, you see someone has come out."
The leader surnamed Sun took a look, and saw that the gate of the fort was wide open, and five or six people galloped quickly on horseback, and in a blink of an eye, they dismounted in front of him, and a man in his thirties smiled shyly: "Dare to ask the distinguished guest, but it is the subordinate of the king."
"Hey, how do you know that we are King Chuang's subordinates," someone next to the leader surnamed Sun asked.
"After the master of my family heard yesterday that King Chuang took Jiexiu City with great effort, he said that there will be distinguished guests coming to the door soon, and we are waiting" Needless to say, this rough man with a Shanxi accent is a spy in Jinyi.
"Heh, your master can pinch and calculate" The leader surnamed Sun laughed: "Who are you, why didn't your master come to greet you?" ”。
"Back to the general's words, the old man of my family is sick in bed, and the little one is the manager of the Fan family, and he is ordered by the master to welcome the general into the mansion, and the house has prepared a meeting gift for the eldest master."
A big general really made the heart of the leader of the thief surnamed Sun excited, and he couldn't help laughing when he heard the prepared ceremony: "Lead the way ahead."
"The general please" Jinyi Wei scout, hurriedly stepped forward to ride a horse for him, this action made the thief leader feel even more useful, but he still couldn't help asking: "Why are there so many horseshoe prints, who came to the mansion?" ”
"Oh, that's the little young master who came from Pingyao early in the morning, general, you know that our Fan family has a big business, and the little young master has a lot of entourage."
"Heh, what about the little master, how many young masters of the Fan family?" The leader surnamed Sun let down his vigilance when he heard this, thinking that it should be the little young master of the Fan family who heard that Jiexiu City had fallen, and hurried from Pingyao, after all, the Fan family has a big business, and the surrounding cities are taken care of, and this little young master is estimated to be in charge of Pingyao's business.
"There are three young masters in the Fan family, the eldest young master is far away in Zhangjiakou, the second young master is in Jiexiu and has not returned, and the little young master is in Pingyao, and he just came back this morning" Jinyiwei's secret agent dealt with it carefully.
Along the way, the thief surnamed Sun kept asking questions and asking questions, and the secret agent answered all questions, and he looked respectful, and the thief was very satisfied, and he arrived at the south gate of Fanjiabao unconsciously.
