…

Yan Qing grabbed a pigeon and took off a bamboo tube from its feet.

Although the breeding of carrier pigeons has been around for a long time, because of the development of the carrier pigeon system, one is limited by technology, and the other is because people do not pay enough attention to it, so in the long river of history, the development of this "instant communication" means is still intermittent, and has not been rolled out on a large scale.

It was also a coincidence that when the Song Jiang Righteous Army hit Pingjiao, Ruan Xiaoqi, the living Yan Luo, met a couple, because Ruan Xiaoqi looked at the woman a few more times, and the man was worried that his wife was captured by Ruan Xiaoqi, so he presented a pair of flying slaves to Ruan Xiaoqi (the word "flying slave" comes from the notes of Wang Renyu of the fifth generation, "Kaiyuan Tianbao Legacy, Passing the Book Pigeon", which describes that Zhang Jiuling, the prime minister of the Tang Dynasty, raised a group of pigeons to communicate with relatives and friends, and called his carrier pigeon "flying slave". ）。

Ruan Xiaoqi was not really lustful, and because he didn't have knowledge, he didn't take the pair of flying slaves seriously, and he didn't even ask for the pair of flying slaves, so he let the couple go.

Later, Zhiduoxing Wu Xuexue heard about this, and hurriedly sent Ruan Xiaoqi to chase the couple back, and then talk to them in person.

Wu Xuezhi quickly learned that the man's name was Qu San, who was the pigeon breeder of the Zhenrong Qu family, and the woman was the concubine of the third son of the Zhenrong Qu family.

Wu Xuexue immediately reported the matter to Song Jiang and told Song Jiang about the benefits of flying slaves, and Song Jiang met Qu San in person.

Soon, Qu San became a small leader of the Song Jiang Rebels, and the Song Jiang Rebels also had flying slaves who could deliver letters.

Yan Qing poured out a letter from the bamboo tube and unfolded it to look at it with Qin Ming, Dong Ping, and Mu Heng.

Before he finished reading, Dong Ping frowned and said, "Zhang Qing also has forty or fifty thousand officers and troops attacking them?" How is this possible? ”

Mu Heng also said: "Yes, my brother just came with the news that there are fifty or sixty thousand troops who have cut off the connection between Wuma Mountain, Walong Mountain, Wanhua Mountain and us, and these two groups of men and horses together already have 100,000 troops, could it be that the official army has increased its troops again?" ”

Qin Ming frowned, and said: "There are only a total of how many people and horses in this Hebei, and if you send 30,000 troops, aren't they afraid that the Liao people will kill them directly?" ”

Yan Qing said: "There is only one possibility. ”

Qin Ming, Dong Ping, and Mu Heng looked at Yan Qing at the same time.

Yan Qing said: "Among the three official troops, there are not so many people along the way. ”

Qin Ming, Dong Ping, and Mu Heng asked in unison: "Which way?" ”

Yan Qing said: "Let's go this way." ”

Mu Heng asked: "Why are we going this way?" ”

Yan Qing said: "Zhang Qing and they have already fought with the official army, and it is impossible not to judge how many people the official army has, so the number of officers and soldiers there should be accurate Zhang Qing." ”

Qin Ming nodded and said, "Zhang Qing and the others have always been meticulous, it is impossible to make mistakes in this kind of thing, and the number of officers and soldiers there should indeed be accurate." ”

Yan Qing said again: "If you want to cut off the connection between Wuma Mountain, Walong Mountain, Wanhua Mountain and our Zhang Liangshan and Zhang Qing and their Dui Su Mountain, you can't do it without an army of 50,000 or 60,000, don't forget, brother they have an army of 10,000 there, if they dare to intercept with only 20,000 or 30,000, then brother they will definitely rush over, and we can also rush over." ”

Dong Ping said: "Yes, in the area of Baigugou-Zhulinzhai, twenty or thirty thousand horses are not enough to block all colleagues. ”

Yan Qing said: "Finally, let's talk about us here, we just heard from those who fled back that it was the Qianning Army, the Yongjing Army, and the Baoding Army, but who saw these troops?" Moreover, they have been here for almost three days, and they have never come to our mountain, let alone come to attack us, so if one of them is fake, then the fake must be here. ”

When Qin Ming heard this, he smashed his fist on the table and said angrily: "Let these traitors be deceived and delay the fighter plane in vain!" ”

Yan Qing's face was not good-looking, because he inquired about the news, and he had an unshirkable responsibility.

But Yanqing still said very calmly: "However, this is just my guess, whether the real situation is like this or not, I can't be completely sure." ”

Qin Ming's big eyes moved, and he said, "This thing is easy to do, let's try him, don't you know." ”

"How do you try?" Mu Heng asked.

Qin Ming said: "I don't know what they do, Zhang Qing only has 3,000 people in Sushan, and we have 7,000 people in Zhang Liangshan, so we can ...... like this."

Qin Ming's voice became smaller and smaller......

……

The Jingo army gathered again.

When all the soldiers gathered together, Cai Ying's first words were: "I'm afraid that the rebels on Zhang Liangshan should know that we are bluffing." ”

Wang Sheng asked, "General, what should we do next?" There are still half a day to go before the mandate is set for three days. ”

Cai still didn't answer Wang Sheng, but looked at the others, and deliberately stopped at Yue Fei and Li Bao for a while, and then asked, "You say, how should we deal with it?" ”

Gao Shidan preemptively said: "The rebels will be angry when they know that we have tricked them, so let's wait for them to come down and then fight with them." ”

Zhang Yu echoed and said: "There are only 5,000 men and horses at most on Zhang Liang Mountain, although our Jinwu army is only 3,000, but our whole army is not afraid of death, and there are 500 horse troops, which should be able to fight with them." ”

"A decisive battle?"

It's not that the decisive battle can't be fought, and it's not that there is no chance of winning, but Cai still doesn't want to fight like this.

Why.

First, eighty or ninety percent of the new recruits of the Jinwu Army are now, and if such an army goes to fight a decisive battle, there will definitely be great casualties, and there may even be a situation that is difficult to control.

Second, Jin Wujun is Cai Ying's biggest capital, the seed of Cai Ying's million-strong army in the future, and Cai Ying's capital to fight the world in the future.

Therefore, although Cai still adopted the advice put forward by the generals to wait and see, he did not think of a decisive battle with the Song Jiang rebels on Zhang Liang Mountain.

Not long after, Tabai Xu Meng suddenly sent back the news: "General, the rebels on Zhang Liang Mountain have come down the mountain. ”

Cai still asked: "How many people have come down?" ”

Xu Meng replied, "More than three thousand." ”

Cai still asked again: "Are you sure?" ”

Xu Meng said: "The subordinates vouched for their heads, and there were only three thousand rebels who went down the mountain. ”

When the generals heard that there were only 3,000 rebels, they all said: "General, let's fight, although there are many brave people among the rebels, most of them are homeless and vulnerable, as soon as our army comes out, we will be able to win the battle!" "General, it's not easy to lure rebels down the mountain, we can't let go of this fighter!" "General, don't miss the time again! ”……

But Cai was still unmoved, he continued to ask Xu Meng: "How much range do you explore?" ”

Xu Meng said: "General Yu, the old way, ten miles." ”

Cai still pondered for a while, and ordered: "Probe and report again, and double the range." ”

For Cai Yan's order, all the generals were puzzled, it was already very conservative to explore ten miles, and the Jin Wujun was expected to have a telescope, so its real exploration range was not only ten miles, which should be enough.

But Cai is still too prestigious, if Cai still doesn't give an order, that's it, once Cai still gives an order, then none of them dare to question Cai Zhen's order, they can only wait for the further development of things.

After about two hours, Xu Meng came back again.

As soon as he entered the big tent, Xu Meng "poofed", knelt down for Cai Ying, and then said: "The subordinates are wrong, the subordinates please punish!" ”

Cai was still noncommittal: "How many people did the rebels go down the mountain?" ”

Xu Meng said: "Six thousand, more than ten miles behind the three thousand people who went down the mountain first, there are still three thousand men and horses hanging, and there are five hundred horse troops among the three thousand men and horses behind. ”

Cai still ignored Xu Meng, but looked at the generals and colonels and said: "Three thousand people, say not too much, say a lot less, if we fight with it, we will be limited by it, and the three thousand people behind will immediately rush to rush, with the situation that our Jinwu army is eighty or nine into a new army, there is a chance that we will suffer a big defeat, and we can not only be brave in the war, but also have wisdom, haven't you ever thought about it, why did the traitors send three thousand people down the mountain to die?" ”

All of them bowed their heads in shame.

In the end, it was Gao Shidan who relied on his old qualifications and spoke first: "General, how should we deal with it next?" ”

Cai still didn't answer and asked: "How do you think we should deal with it?" ”

Yue Fei had an idea, and blurted out: "Attack Zhang Liangshan!" ”

Cai still looked at Yue Fei and said with a smile: "The son can be taught." Then he looked at the generals and said: "Pengju is right, six thousand rebels have left Zhangliang Mountain, how many rebels can there be on Zhangliang Mountain?" So I'll take you to Zhangliang Mountain to have a look. ”

When the generals heard this, they laughed.

……

Just when Qin Ming, Dong Ping, and Mu Heng slowly marched to Dui Su Mountain with the strategy of "fake Zhang Fei and true Yide outwitting Yan Yan", Cai still personally led Jin Wu's army to bypass Qin Ming and others and go straight to Zhang Liangshan.

As soon as they arrived at the foot of Zhangliang Mountain, the generals were ready to attack Zhangliang Cottage.

Seeing this, Cai still said, "What are you going to do?" ”

The generals looked at each other and said in their hearts: "Attacking the cottage, do you need to talk about this?" ”

didn't want to, but Cai still said: "Who said that you are going to attack the cottage?" ”

"Don't fight? Then why did we go to Zhang Liangshan? The generals were dumbfounded.

Cai still seemed to see what the generals were thinking, and explained: "The fight, it's to be beaten, but it's not really a fight...... Although this cottage is not as strong as the Kei cottage, after all, there are fortifications to rely on, condescending, and now it is daytime, if we want to fight, it is impossible to do it without a day or two, and the speed of those rebels who go down the mountain, if they march in a hurry, they can come back in five or six hours at most, and if they really fight, we may be attacked by them before and after. ”

"Hizz~"

Everyone couldn't help but be a little afraid.

Zhang Yu asked, "General, how should we deal with it?" ”

This time, Cai still didn't sell Guan Zi again, but smiled and said, "Of course, it's an ambush for the traitors who are about to come back." ”
