When the bandit leader saw the Dongjiang army fleeing, he immediately ordered not to pursue, and then quickly drove the carriage to escape, the whole process lasted less than half an hour, very fast!

Xiao Bin and the others did not flee far, counted the casualties, and learned that more than a dozen people were injured and two died. He was so furious that he vowed to kill all the damned bandits.

Zhang Yi rode his horse and galloped over, and when he saw Xiao Bin, he shouted: "Big brother, those bandits fled after robbing the grain, and they have already sent three brothers to follow them, what should we do now?" ”

Xiao Bin frowned and pondered for a moment, and said, "Zhang Yi, you immediately go and inform the defenders of Quanshan and bring them to support." We're going to follow you and mark you along the way, so be quick and don't let them escape. ”

"Yes, big brother!" After Zhang Yi gave up, he left in a hurry with his two brothers.

Xiao Bin did not dare to slack off, and immediately followed the uninjured brothers with Mahan to pursue the bandits all the way.

Today is destined to be a turbulent day, not only in Quanshan, but also in almost the entire Xuzhou. For a time, the wind in Xuzhou was loud, and the Dongjiang Army was in a state of first-class combat readiness.

An urgent report was sent to Mao Wenlong as soon as possible, and when Mao Wenlong learned of the sudden appearance in Xuzhou, his face turned black and he slapped the table in anger.

"Don't you know who's stealing our food?" Mao Wenlong asked the messenger kneeling in front of him coldly.

"Chief Qiqi, we don't know yet, but we have sent everyone and started to search everywhere, and I believe that there will be results soon." The messenger did not dare to immediately state the current situation in Xuzhou.

Hearing this, Mao Wenlong calmed down a little, waved his hand to let the messenger retreat, and said to Cheng Zuo, who was just about to leave for Kaifeng: "It seems that you can't go back to Kaifeng yet, Xuzhou is such a large-scale food grab, obviously someone is behind the ghost." Chengzuo, you personally go to Xuzhou, find out what is going on there as soon as possible, and find out who dares to hit our Dongjiang army with the idea. ”

Cheng Zuo didn't hesitate, and immediately clenched his fists and said: "Chief soldier, please rest assured, the final general will find out who is behind the scenes as soon as possible." ”

Mao Wenlong nodded and said: "This matter can't be delayed, you go to the hot air balloon now, and remember to send it as soon as there is news." ”

Cheng Zuo arched his hand and said: "Yes, Chief Soldier!" ”

After seeing Chengzuo leave, Mao Wenlong became upset, and the first object of his suspicion of the Xuzhou Rebellion was Chongzhen, but he was not sure. After all, with Chongzhen's current strength, he didn't dare to do this at all, and the consequences were not something he could bear.

But apart from Chongzhen, he really couldn't think of anyone else who had the courage to dare to spread wild on the territory of the Dongjiang Army?

"Could it be those ghostly widows?" Mao Wenlong muttered, and shook his head helplessly to deny his thoughts.

The matter was urgent, Chengzuo did not dare to delay for a moment, and immediately set off for Xuzhou on the same day, and arrived in Xuzhou City in only two days. After he arrived, he immediately personally questioned several generals who had been robbed of grain, and soon came to a conclusion.

These bandits operated in different places at almost the same time, and they were mainly stealing food, but did not fight the Dongjiang army much. However, from the incident to the present, the Dongjiang Army has not been able to find the bandits who have disappeared in Xuzhou.

Such a strange thing actually appeared, even if Cheng Zuo realized that things were definitely not as simple as they seemed.

Xiao Bin, Ma Han and Zhang Yi were standing in front of Cheng Zuo at this moment, all of them dejected and listless. Xiao Bin personally went to track them down, but in the end he still lost them, which made him very unhappy, just now Chengzuo didn't blame them, but they couldn't forgive themselves.

In the past, in order to avoid the death and injury of the brothers, they could directly give up the grain cart, but that was on the premise that they could regain it, and naturally human life was the most important. But when he was full of confidence, there was such an accident, and he actually lost the bandits, which was already a problem in his ability to do things.

"General, please give us another chance, and we will definitely find those bandits." Xiao Bin took the initiative to ask for help.

Cheng Zuo was silent for a moment, but resolutely shook his head: "There is no need to be so troublesome, these bandits obviously will not disappear like this." Their goal is clearly for food, and as long as they want more, we have a good chance of catching them. ”

Cheng Zuo, who sorted out everything, already had a plan in his heart at the moment, so he behaved very calmly.

Xiao Bin hesitated and said, "The general has a way?" ”

Cheng Zuo sneered: "These bandits obviously have a careful plan, and they have already arranged a retreat before they have even robbed the grain. Rather than letting them lead the way, it's better to wait and arrange traps for them to drill on their own. ”

The people present listened to Cheng Zuo's explanation, and nodded their heads in agreement one after another. Cheng Zuo quickly figured out a way, informed Xiao Bin and them, and then asked them to go down immediately to make arrangements.

That night, the 3,000 Dongjiang Army, under the leadership of Cheng Zuo, quietly left Xuzhou City at night and slowly moved along the avenue. He searched for the location of the ambush until he stopped when he saw a barren mountain. The three thousand soldiers then quietly hid in this barren mountain, waiting for the dawn to come.

As soon as the day dawned, Xiao Bin, Ma Han and Zhang Yi once again led a hundred Dongjiang troops, escorting thirty carriages full of grain. Under the illumination of the rising sun, they moved forward slowly, and this time, they were very careful, not only did they send their scouts to explore the road in front of them, but they also all rode their war horses.

The grain carts were not moving fast, and they had only traveled a few miles in the morning. It was close to noon, but Xiao Bin didn't ask everyone to stop, but continued to hurry, and for lunch was just a little dry food for each person and continued to hurry.

Ma Han caught up with Xiao Bin and whispered, "Big brother, can we really attract bandits like this?" All mornings have passed, and Siye is still silent, not even a ghost shadow is seen. ”

Xiao Bin was not sure in his heart at this time, whether Chengzuo's method was feasible, but it was good anyway. Now that it's started, there's no turning back, so you have to keep going. Xiao Bin thought of this and responded in a low voice: "Regardless of whether the robbers will be hooked or not, in short, you can know when you get to the location of the general's ambush." ”

Ma Han frowned and opened his mouth to say something, but after seeing Xiao Bin's resolute eyes, he stopped talking and rode back to his post. The convoy continued to move slowly towards its goal.
