Chapter 171: Yuen Long Dies, Qin Qiong is suspicious, Du Fuwei enters the mountains to guerrilla

"King, you can rush out of the Mengshan trail in front, you can already see General Du Fuwei's men and horses stationed in the Shannan River Valley at the other end of the trail, the king is going quickly, and the last general will go to the back to resist the pursuers." A henchman general turned back from the front to report.

"You can't be invincible, just delay the speed of the pursuit, and the pursuers will retreat when they go out of the trail." Xu Yuanlang said loudly out of the window in the car, only to see that the general had already led more than a dozen personal soldiers to the back.

"Quick, quickly rush out of the trail and throw yourself into General Duvoy's tent."

At this time, Du Fuwei was in front of Dazhai in the river valley to follow Xu Yuanlang's defeated soldiers and horses, one by one, panting, hooking their shoulders and running into Dazhai to rest. Du Fuwei looked in the direction of the exit of the Mengshan Trail, and said in his heart: "Brother Gongshi Xian will look at you this time, don't miss the opportunity!" ”

At this moment, he heard an earth-shattering sound from the valley path, like a sudden thunderbolt on a sunny day, and Du Fuwei's ears buzzed for a while, and the horse that sat down was also startled and spun around, and kept neighing. Xu Yuanlang's soldiers and horses in the big village behind him also stood up from the ground one by one, watching from the sound of the voice, and kept talking.

After a loud thunderous roar in the valley trail, puffs of black smoke rose into the sky, and a large fire ignited in the trail, igniting the trees on the mountain. One by one, the burnt soldiers stumbled out of the valley path, letting out a series of strange screams.

"Quick, go and save someone." Du Fuwei was the first to react, knowing that the giant thunder array of the Fugong Stone had been successful. He hurriedly ordered his subordinates to hurry up and treat the wounded.

The trail in the valley is now a mess, and no less than 1,000 people were directly killed by this burst of fire and thunder, and nearly 3,000 people were injured and burned, and the scene was terrible. The carriage in which Xu Yuanlang was riding had already been torn apart, and the carriage was on fire. Xu Yuanlang didn't know how many pieces were blown up on the spot, and he had already died, and most of the accompanying guards were also killed, and the few lives left were also disabled, crying and screaming. Due to the long distance, only a few of the pursuers were swept to the ground by the air wave and were slightly injured. But they were all frightened, and when the leading generals saw this, they turned their horses and went back.

When Du Fuwei inspected the scene of the explosion, Fu Gongshi appeared out of nowhere and quietly looked at Du Fuwei, and the two looked at each other with a hint of a sly smile on their faces.

"Quick, put away the body of King Xu Yuanlang, that head is hanging on the tree! Take it down and take it back to the village and transport it back to Fei County for burial. Du Fuwei ordered his guards in front of Xu Yuanlang's personal soldiers, who were not yet dead.

"Big brother, the chasing soldiers of the official army have retreated. I don't think Qin Qiong will chase after him for a while. It is better to quickly pack up the remnants of the army and return to Fei County to garrison, waiting for the official army to come. Fu Gongshi stepped forward and proposed to Du Fuwei, obviously, Xu Yuanlang's death, Xu Yuanlang's department of Langya County naturally belonged to Du Fuwei, the second master, who dares to disagree? Besides, the generals who were close to Xu Yuanlang basically died in this explosion.

After collecting the remnants of the army, there were nearly 30,000 horses, and the fragments of Xu Yuanlang's body were wrapped in cloth and placed on the horse, and Du Fuwei led the troops to return to Fei County overnight.

An earth-shattering explosion at the mouth of this valley also made Tang Jin and Qin Qiong in the back palpitate. I didn't dare to pass through this trail for 3 days in a row, for fear that I would suffer such a tragedy.

"Shubao, who is the one who planted the fire and thunder at the mouth of this valley, except for my soldiers and horses, I have never heard of any other soldiers who have entered the valley? But your friends in the rivers and lakes secretly help you? Tang Jin was obviously frightened by the fire and thunder lurking in this valley, and couldn't help but ask Qin Qiong.

"If it was a fire and thunder planted by his bandits, the bombed person should be the cavalry I was pursuing, could it be that he blew himself up by mistake? It is possible that some friends on some rivers and lakes secretly helped Qin, but it was just inconvenient to show up! Qin should have a re-report in the future. Qin Qiong didn't understand what was going on, but he just felt that it was unlikely that the enemy would bomb by mistake, but there might be someone secretly helping, and this kind of thing was not uncommon in the rivers and lakes.

"No matter who planted the fire mines, our army will not attack for the time being. It is also necessary to send someone to escort the rogues back to Jinan Mansion to report the victory to the marshal! Xu Yuanlong's giant bandit is dead, and the rest will disperse by themselves, and they will rest here for a few days to go to Fei County, the bandit's nest. Tang Jin instructed the generals in the tent.

With puzzlement, Qin Qiong returned to his account. In his opinion, this matter is extraordinary, even if the rivers and lakes help each other, it is impossible to make such a move. It is very likely that there is a force in the dark that is intervening in this battle to exterminate the Langya bandits, who is it? This place is close to Luoyang Wang Shichong's department, and it is possible that Wang Shichong will take the opportunity to infiltrate his forces into Langya County. If it weren't for Wang Shichong's actions, it might have been the Du Fuwei forces entrenched in Shanyang and Xuzhou, and it is said that Du Fuwei had become big in the Jianghuai area and could resist the imperial soldiers. Could it be that black eats black? Du Fuwei also wants to take advantage of the opportunity? Thinking of this, Qin Qiong seemed to understand a little. An explosion made Qin Qiong understand that the power of the land of Langya County was not only his Shangguan Tangbi, but he was very likely to be regarded as a demining person in front.

"Brother Qin, junior brother just learned a piece of news." While Qin Qiong was thinking alone in the tent, his friend Fan Hu, who had followed him to join Tang Bi, hurriedly broke into the tent, followed by another friend, Lian Ming. Both of these people used to be Qin Qiong's subordinates when she was the chief catcher in Jeju Mansion, and they were also his best friends.

"Oh, what's the news?" Qin Qiong hurriedly asked.

"Brother Qin, you and I have been on an errand in Jeju for a long time, haven't you heard that Xu Yuanlang has a second brother named Du Fuwei? The younger brother heard that Du Fuwei is now the boss of the Liukou in Langya County, and has taken over Xu Yuanlang's tens of thousands of bandits, plus the bandits in the Jianghuai area, his power is now greatly increased! Fan Hu said busily.

"Oh? Hehe! As soon as Qin Qiong heard the news, he immediately understood who had planted the fire and thunder at the mouth of the valley. The biggest beneficiary of this has surfaced, who else could it be if it wasn't Jianghuai Du Fuwei?

"Big brother, what are you laughing at? That Du Fuwei is no better than Xu Yuanlang, it is said that there is a big force behind him to support him, otherwise it would not have been possible to make such a noise in the Jianghuai area in such a short time? Lian Ming stepped forward to ask Qin Qiong, and Fan Hu nodded yes again and again after listening to Lian Ming's words.

"He is in Jianghuai, he doesn't care about his brother, and this time he is a handsome pioneer of bandits, as long as this Langya County is clean. We don't want to provoke others. Qin Qiong said sharply.

Philadelphia County Middle.

"Big brother, the first thing to stay on the main bus, the younger brother has done it well. This second thing depends on the eldest brother. Fu Gongshi whispered to Du Fuwei while drinking.

"Huh! The virtuous brother did this thing beautifully, and asked for merit for the virtuous brother in front of the lord sooner or later. With that, he raised his glass and invited Fu Gongshi to drink a glass together.

"Brother estimates that in 3 days at most, then Qin Qiong will definitely lead the troops out of the mouth of the Menggu Valley to the city of Feixian. Although there are many of our troops, they have a strong atmosphere of bandits, and they are not good at defending the city. And there is not much grain stored here, in order not to make the defeat of Mengyin City reappear, and in order to implement the "sixteen-character" policy of the lord's guerrilla warfare, my brother intends to withdraw from Fei County and leave an empty city for Qin Qiong, and we will deal with him in this big mountain. Du Fuwei said to Fu Gongshi. If you want to carry Qin Qiong hard, it is obviously impossible to do it, you can use the set of "guerrilla warfare methods" given to you by the bishop, think about it, this sixteen-character guerrilla warfare method is really a must!

"Little brother can see it, he Qin Qiong came from afar, why don't we wait to be familiar with the terrain, so why not take him to the mountains? Hehe! After a long time, his morale will inevitably be frustrated, and I will wait for an opportunity to tear off a piece of flesh from him, and he will definitely return in vain. Fu Gongshi said with a smile as he put a chicken leg in his mouth and tore it up.

"In this case, I don't need many soldiers and horses here, I only need to leave 5,000 elites in the headquarters here to lure the officers and soldiers up the mountain, and the virtuous brother can take 30,000 soldiers to walk the mountain road, day and night out through Lu County and directly into Donghai County, occupy Gaomi and Anqiu two large counties, and divide Donghai County into two. After Qin Qiong's soldiers retreat here, my brother will take Jiaozhou with you, connect with Donglai County, and realize the lord's plan, what does the virtuous brother think? Du Fuwei put down his wine glass, stared at Fu Gongshi and said.

"The eldest brother has a very good plan, but the younger brother doesn't need so many people, only 20,000. The extra 10,000 horses can be handed over to my brother Gongyou to take back to Xuzhou to prevent Wang Shichong of Luoyang. Fu Gongshi said. Along with him under Du Fuwei's account, he also obeyed his brother Fu Gongyou, who is now an officer of the Jianghuai Hundred Households of the Military Intelligence Department, and is also a member of the civil and military generals.

"It's good! If the conquest of Donghai County is not enough, you can go directly to Laizhou to find the lord, who now has 50,000 elites in the hands of Wang Bo. The extra 10,000 soldiers were taken to Xuzhou by Gongyou. Tomorrow you can divide the troops and go out, and the virtuous brother can bring more food. After saying that, Du Fuwei suddenly felt relaxed, and drank a few glasses together with Fu Gongshi.

Early the next morning, Du Fuwei found Fu Gongyou and whispered: "Brother Gongyou, I still have more than 300 grenades in my account, and it is quite inconvenient for my brother to take with me, so I will hand it over to you and bring it back to Xuzhou." Don't use it again! so as not to arouse the suspicion of Langya's soldiers. ”

"Big brother, don't worry, little brother can save it." Fu Gongyou is 18 years old, handsome, clever, and promoted to the rank of 100 households because of his duties, second only to his brother Fu Gongshi's deputy 1000 households. As soon as Duvowe told him, he immediately understood. Now that the two brothers are leading the troops, they both have heavy responsibilities, and they are the generals guarding Jianghuai, and the responsibilities are equally heavy.

Soon, tens of thousands of troops withdrew from Fei County and disappeared into the vast mountains.

Three days later, Tang Jin and Qin Qiong entered Fei County with almost no losses of 20,000 official troops. But the whole city was empty, and the officers and soldiers did not receive a grain of food from the city. This situation was not only Tang Jin, but even Qin Qiong and others were surprised. In order to conquer Fei County, Tang Jin has also urged the whole army to build a lot of siege equipment in the past few days, but now it is not used at all. The key is that the tens of thousands of existing rogues in Langya don't know where they have gone.

"General Qin, send a scout horse to look around for the traces of the Liukou, and be sure to know its whereabouts." Tang Jin said helplessly to Qin Qiong in the tent.

"Yes, sir. Today I went out to explore the horse and met a woodcutter in the mountains, I heard him say that a few days ago I saw soldiers and horses in the nearby mountains, I don't know if it is a Langya bandit, if you run into the mountains to avoid the edge of our army, it is not easy to exterminate, you should consider a long-term plan! Qin Qiong vaguely felt that something was wrong, this Langya County is full of high mountains and dense forests, and defending the city is not the strong point of the Liukou, but drilling into the ravine is indeed extremely flexible. With 20,000 horses and horses, how can I search all these mountains!

"Alas! Unexpectedly, as soon as Xu Yuanlang died, there were Du Fuwei and the like among the bandits, and now our army commander has nothing to do, and now don't say that I only have 20,000 soldiers and horses, even 200,000 horses are useless! Tang Jin said with a long sigh.

"Dashuai, there is still a method available."

"Oh! Please make it clear to the general. ”

"The last general was originally born in a fast catch, and his two generals, Fan Hu and Lian Ming, are also clever catchers. The marshal can be stationed in this city, and the three of us each bring 200 elite soldiers, and enter the mountains to search for bandits from the light armor. If he finds out where he is living and leads a large army to attack suddenly, the big thing can be decided! Qin Qiong stepped forward and said, in the past, he led people to hunt down prisoners in the mountains, but now he is just using his original skills.

When Tang Jin heard this, he immediately smiled, and shouted repeatedly: "Good plan! What a plan! Then Uncle Lao will go to arrange manpower, and a few more groups of explorers can be divided, and the traces of the rogues can be found as soon as possible. ”

After Qin Qiong answered, he turned around and went out of the account, he wanted to quickly find his two friends, so that he could lead his troops into the mountains as soon as possible to find the traces of the bandits.

The total number of men and horses brought into the mountains by Du Fuwei was 5,000, all of which were selected from the elite of Jianghuai's own headquarters, and these soldiers were extremely good at fighting in the mountains and jungles. The 16-character guerrilla warfare method was also ripe with the top melons on the back of these 5,000 soldiers. The 5,000 people, Du Fuwei divided them into 5 teams, each team of 1,000 people, led by a hundred household officials into the mountain and then fought separately, Du Fuwei brought a thousand elite as the main force, responsible for leaving a mark to attract the official army into the mountain to go around.

On this day, a hundred officials came to Du Fuwei and whispered: "My lord, there is a group of officers and soldiers who have dived up from the mountain, the number is 200, do you want to bring some brothers to eat him?" ”

"Nope! The official is trying to use these people to make a game. He was instructed to set out at once to light a fire in the col in front of him and cook his meal, and only to spy on the horses. Du Fuwei immediately came up with a plan, how could 200 people have enough food for themselves, and he wanted to use these people to do something for himself.

"General Fan, more than 1,000 bandits were found in the valley in front of me who were burying pots and cooking, and it seems that they are going to spend the night in the valley tonight." A horse scouting soldier came to Fan Hu to report, this group of 200 people into the mountain to explore the horse led by Qin Qiong's friend Fan Hu, has been wandering around the mountain for two days, today finally found the trace of the Liukou, Fan Hu couldn't help but be secretly happy in his heart.

"Don't disturb them, go over and see, the others are standing still, don't make a noise." Fan Hu wanted to go over and check the reality of this bandit in person, so he took the little colonel who had just reported the news and quietly touched the valley where Du Fuwei was lurking.
