"The general asks something, and the little one will know everything. I just ask the general to surround the life of the small, and the little one will burn incense every day when he goes back, pray night and night, and wish the general a victory and success! "This person is also well-behaved, losing his baggage is a big crime, even if he has a way, it is difficult to get rid of military responsibility, maybe the death penalty can be avoided, but promotion must be hopeless! Now that he is in the thief army, life and death are uncertain, it is better to save his life first.

"What is your last name, and what department do you belong to?"

"General Hui, the small Yan Shun, belongs to the Yizhou Han Army, this time it is the small one who escorts grain and grass from Yishui to the large battalion in front of him, and he wanted to earn some military merits, but he met the general."

"Do you know the exact number of the battalion ahead and the subordinates of each department?"

Yan Shun hesitated slightly, and when he saw Zhao Shi glaring at a pair of tiger eyes, his heart trembled, even if he didn't say these news, several of his subordinates might not necessarily say it. I have been back and forth several times, and I still know the details of the camp, and these subordinates know a lot, even if they don't say it, these subordinates will inevitably not speak.

"According to small observations, there are about 2,000 people in the camp, most of them are infantry troops, all of them are Yizhou Han troops, and the commander is Wang De, the local Yishui City Han Army." Yan Shun didn't dare to delay, thought for a while and said, "It's been ten days since the last time I was here, and if there are any changes in the camp, I don't know." ”

"Is the grain and straw in the camp all supported by Yizhou? Can the rest of the county governments have the assistance of the Han army or the rebel army? Yu Zhilong asked.

"I haven't heard that there are a large number of grain raised and sent by other prefectures and counties, and it was once raised in Laicheng in the east, but it is sparsely populated there, it is not easy to raise, and the road is far farther than from Yizhou, so it is mainly transported by Yizhou. I heard Wang Dewanhu talk that the camp was full of Han soldiers from Juzhou, and I had never heard of other military families. Yan Shun said it one by one.

Yu Zhilong interrogated many of the camp's details, and later Shi Zebo and Wu Sheng also interjected and asked some questions, in order to prevent Yan Shun from making trouble, Yu Zhilong specially disrupted the order of the questions, and then repeatedly interrogated several times, seeing that Yan Shun was unanimously answered, it was only then that people pressed him down.

Zhao Shi randomly selected a captive and asked these questions one by one, and the captive's answer was basically not bad, and everyone was relieved.

Seeing the sluggish figure of the captives leaving, Yu Zhilong made a move, called Qian Zheng, and said a few words to him, Qian Zheng nodded and called a few guards to go according to the plan.

Qian Zheng also reminded before leaving: "The accent of Yishui people is different from that of Linqu County, if you change clothes, whether it is a porter or a soldier, it is better to choose more locals." ”

Wu Sheng listened to Yu Zhilong's instructions, his eyes lit up, he picked up the folding fan and knocked it vigorously in the palm of his hand, and praised: "What this brother said is, is this foot lady chosen, or is it up to my brother from Qingfeng Village to play!" There are many brothers in the village who are local natives, as for the official army, they are still dressed up by your department, after all, the atmosphere of killing and purging in this army is still the most similar to your department. ”

Yu Zhilong nodded: "What Leader Wu said is also what I think in my heart, so I will act according to the plan." It's just that this Yan Shun is the main general of the baggage team, and he has to come forward to connect, and he needs to think of a strategy to make him obedient! ”

"What's so difficult about this, we have a few extremely delicate military-made crossbows in our village, which are installed in the sleeves, concealed and excited, and it is difficult for outsiders to notice, as long as this dog official is firmly controlled by us, he will never dare to be effective!" Pang Biao couldn't help but interject on the side.

"Oh, and this good thing?" Zhao Shi and others were greatly moved. Although the effective range of the arm crossbow is short, its firing action is hidden, and at close range, the killing effect is extremely large, but this thing is a military product controlled by the imperial court, and it is difficult for ordinary people to get their hands on it.

"Now, this is the baby!" Pang Biao stretched out his left arm and pulled up the wide cuffs of his coat, revealing first three shiny arrows, then a swarthy metal crossbow, a reed of the arm crossbow, a lock and a fastening iron ring, etc.

Zhao Shi, Yu Shichang, and Ma Rulong leaned up to take a closer look, this arm crossbow is no more than a palm long, and each crossbow arrow is no thicker than the little finger, but the design is exquisite, as long as you open the safety button and gently press the launch mechanism, you can launch the crossbow arrow quickly. Within three steps, it can be said that there is no way to avoid it.

Pang Biao saw that Yu Zhilong, Zhao Shi, Qian Zheng, and Ma Rulong were so concerned, and couldn't help but feel a little proud, this treasure was secretly purchased from the Semu Army at a high price in Jinan, and now there are only five in the cottage, one of which is owned by Pang Biao. This time, Shi Zebo and Wei Bao both carried one with them.

This time, seeing the strict military etiquette of the Shuntian Army or the Jing'an Army, and the brave and decisive performance in the battle to suppress the Yizhou baggage team, Pang Biao was stimulated, and wanted to fight for the cottage in front of Zhilong. Judging by his age and face, Yu Zhilong should be the youngest among everyone, and even younger than himself, but he is the head of the other party's generals, which really makes Pang Biao hold his breath.

Yu Zhilong saw this sharp weapon, pondered the feasibility, and briefly discussed a few words with Zhao Shi, Qian Zheng, Ma Rulong, Yu Shichang, etc., and felt that it was feasible, so he ordered Qian Zheng to arrange for the Jing'an Army to change its costume and pretend to be the escorted Han army, Pang Biao and two henchmen followed closely behind Yan Shun with armed crossbows, pretending to be Yan Shun's personal soldiers, and Wei Bao personally selected more than 200 clever and brave cottage soldiers to pretend to be porters.

That Yan Shun listened to Qian Zheng's order, his face turned pale, he thought that he would just be a prisoner, but he didn't expect to lead these thieves to the camp of the Yuan army! If you lose your military funds and go back to fight your boss, you may be able to leave a glimmer of life, but if you work for a thief, once you are known by the Yuan Court, you will never be forgiven!

But if you don't do what the little general tells you to do, you will be lit by him at once. The population of Shandong is relatively large compared to other provinces, and there are often many thieves in the year of disaster, so Shandong's thieves are quite famous. At the end of the Sui Dynasty and the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, Shandong's ringing horses were very rampant. It is said that it is rampant, not only because of the large number, but also because of the large strength, and it can often carry the county government and occupy it for many days without being recovered by the government.

The methods of torture are also varied, many of which are very cruel, and lighting sky lanterns is one of them.

(Historically, the bandits in Shandong, Northeast China, and the two lakes were the most famous, the longest, and the most violent, and they were gradually and completely exterminated after the founding of the People's Republic of China.) Although many of them were forced to be helpless, objectively the harm to the local area was inevitable. ）

Yan Shun was afraid of death, his face was naturally ugly, his eyes were as godless as wood carvings, Pang Biao slapped him vigorously on the head, almost slapping him to a stumbling block!

"Boy, cheer up! Don't be like a dead lady! You are also a Han army thousand. Oh, come on, see clearly, what is this thing? Pang Biao rolled up his sleeves and exposed his crossbow, and shook it in front of Yan Shun's eyes. Remember, when you connect with the big camp, you will always take good care of you behind you, don't say the wrong thing when the time comes! ”

Looking at the cold arm crossbow, Yan Shun's face was really like a mournful woman.

Yu Zhilong, Shi Zebo and the others never expected that Yan Ming's whistleblower letter had been sent to Wang De, the main general of the big camp, at this time.

When the thousands of men and horses from Qingfeng Village arrived at the convergence, the latest reconnaissance information of the Yuan army camp was also sent back by the Jing'an army scouts. On the surface, the number of soldiers in the Yuan army's military tent has not increased significantly, and the size of the camp and internal defense have not changed much, which seems to indicate good news.

But Yu Zhilong was faintly worried in his heart, it had been four days since his group secretly went south, and it seemed unlikely that the news would not be found out by Yidu Road. Yu Zhilong handed over all the powers of counter-espionage, espionage and defense to Ji Xiancheng and Ming Shijie, and also formulated a backup plan, but the plan often can't catch up with the change of the situation, what if this Wang De gets an alert in advance? There is more than one Yishui road from Yidu to Yidu.

This Yan Shun is obviously a gentleman, and most of the military affairs are black-eyed, and he only cares about promotion and wealth, and he only got the general situation of the Yuan Camp during the interrogation, and he didn't know many details.

The more Yu Zhilong thought about it, the more uneasy he became, so he summoned Zhao Shi, Wu Side, Yu Shichang, and Shi Zebo to discuss it in detail. Shi Zebo and the others did not have more detailed information in the camp, and with such a large number of officers and soldiers, Qingfeng Village was afraid to avoid it.

When he was having a headache, a personal guard hurriedly ran over: "General, one of those captives claims to have a confidential report, saying that it is about the Yuan army camp in front!" ”

Everyone was stunned, "Bring him here!" Yu Zhilong spoke.

"No." The guards went back. After the captives were interrogated, Zhao Shi feared that they would collude in confessions, so he separated them and kept them from seeing each other.

After a while, a fat-headed and big-eared hundred households were escorted over. When the hundred households saw Yu Zhilong and the others, they knelt on the ground with a puff and begged for mercy one by one.

"You say there's news? If it's useful, not only can it live, but there is also a big reward! But if you talk nonsense, today is your sacrifice day! Yu Zhilong made a ferocious gesture. It's a pity that he is young after all, even the mustache on his lips is only slightly tangible, and the intimidation effect on the captives is far less than that of the burly and stout Wu Side next to him.

Wu Side moved wordlessly like a hill to the side of the hundred households, and two big copper bell-like eyes stared at him without blinking. His broom-like thick eyebrows twisted vigorously with Yu Zhilong's words, and a big Sichuan character suddenly twisted out between his eyebrows. A big swarthy face was full of coldness.

Qian Zhengze smiled, took out a silver ingot from his arms, and threw it a few times in front of the captive's eyes, seeing that the weight was no less than a dozen taels, this was the surplus of his military exploits, and the money was being carried with him, playing with it in his spare time.

At this time, the people in the world mostly used depreciated yuan banknotes and copper coins, gold and silver were all valuable, and the annual expenses of ordinary people's homes were only two or three taels. This ingot of silver is worth a few years for a common man's family

"Look, my general has a promise, as long as he has merit, he will have his own reward. Take it! That's the down payment! "Qian Zheng is clever, seeing that the Yuan army is not stubborn, he first moved his heart with silver. However, Wei Bao and some other people in Qingfeng Village were all hot when they saw this big ingot of silver fall into the hands of those hundred households.

The hundred households trembled, and they were too frightened to speak for a while, took the silver, and their hands sank, and they immediately knew that there were no less than a dozen taels, and his mind became more and more active.

Yu Zhilong had already asked him about all the matters in the Yuan army camp and the contents of this baggage transport, although he asked what he answered, he still concealed some of what he knew.

Just now he faintly heard the guards chatting, claiming that Yan Shun had surrendered to the enemy and confessed to all, and it was also troublesome for their officers and soldiers to stay, and the leaders deliberately did them in the ravine!

Because these hundred households had ghosts in their hearts, they thought that they would be executed in a while. Frightened, he quickly jumped out without thinking and claimed that there was still important information to tell. He didn't know that this was Wu Sheng's pre-arranged arrangement, so that a few henchmen pretended to talk nonsense and explore the real plan.
