"Scum!"

"General, it's too late for us to catch up now! As long as the general gives an order, the last general will lead people to chase after him overnight. ”

Bai He said angrily, Bai Liyan shook his head and said:

"No need, this kind of petty person is not worth it for you and me to fight for this, how is Fang Liang's trial?"

"What Qian Xiasheng said before was right, they were indeed surrounded and suppressed by the Jin Xuedi people, and the news of the northward transportation of materials this time was fake news released by the Jin Xuedi people, the purpose of which was to lure the rebels out and catch them all."

Bailiyan was suspicious when she heard the news:

"Why did the fake news released by the Jin Xuedi people reach the ears of all the rebels, don't you think it's strange?"

"Yes, the Admiral also finds it strange. It is said that the Jinxuedi people firmly control Posong Province, and there are their eyes and ears everywhere, as well as the maintenance team is embarrassed, even if the rebels have some information in the countryside, it is impossible to know the secrets of the Jinxuedi people's military transfer.

These secrets are all in the city, and they are by no means known in the countryside, even if their ears and eyes detect the situation on the road, it cannot be concluded that it is the northbound army, not to mention the city of the Jinxuedi people, it is difficult for the people of the Central Plains to enter, the general said so, this matter is indeed suspicious! ”

You can understand such simple truths, and it can be seen that there must be other problems in it. Go, call Fang Liang to me! ”

There are only four or five hundred thousand people in Posong Province, and more than half of them are concentrated in the peripheral areas to the east, and it is absolutely impossible to get military information from the hinterland of the Jinxuedi people.

It is not even ruled out that there are Central Plains thieves in his team now. If it weren't for the strict attention of the veterans of the Xian Army, the strict combat system, and the perfection of military orders and regulations, it would never have been possible to be safe and quiet for half a year

When he was young, Fang Liang came to the camp:

"Chief, what's the matter?"

"Let me ask you, is there any secret contact between the rebels and the villages of the Central Plains?"

"I heard there are some."

"Where did the news from the village come from?"

"It's not clear, maybe it's from the maintenance team, maybe it's the patrol of the white-haired thieves."

"It's impossible to get news from the city of the Jinxuedi?"

"It's hard to say, why did the chief suddenly ask about this?"

"Think about it, the city of the Jin Xuedi people is surrounded by their own people's villages, the city is almost impermeable, and it is difficult for the Central Plains people to enter.

I suspect that there are Central Plains thieves lurking in the rebels, and there are also Central Plains thieves in the villages of the Central Plains people. These Central Plains thieves are no different from you on weekdays, but at the critical moment, they betrayed the news to the Jin Xuedi people, and at the same time brought the false news to the rebels. ”

"This ......"

Fang Liang was noncommittal, and Bai Liyan continued:

"This is the Central Plains people system of the Central Plains, let's kill each other, understand!"

"That'...... Aren't there thieves among us? ”

"Exactly, even Feng Ming's departure is very likely to be instigated by the Central Plains thieves. If it weren't for the close attention of our army veterans in the past six months, the whereabouts of our army's camp would have been known by the Jin Xuedi people. ”

Bai Liyan even suspected that Fang Liang was also a thief in the Central Plains at this moment, everything before was just an illusion that was deliberately exposed, just to gain his trust. Now this conversation is both a temptation and an observation.

Seeing Baili Yan looking directly at him, Fang Liangmeng was spine was cold:

"Chief, you don't doubt me, do you?"

Bailiyan did not answer positively:

"You keep in mind for me that a man must have a conscience, and everything he does must be worthy of his parents, his wife and children, his conscience and his brothers, you know?"

"I know, I know that my Liang will never do anything that is sorry for the brothers and sorry for the leader, never."

"It is not too early, so let the brothers hurry up and rest, and tomorrow morning, we will ship grain and grass immediately."

Feng Ming's rebellion and exodus was not accidental, it was a bureau that the Central Plains thieves lurking in the team had already done, subject to the strict monitoring of the Xianjun veterans, they never succeeded, mutiny and disintegrated more people, this accident gave them an opportunity, and it was even thought that the news of the Cupigon Valley would soon reach Posong City, and the encirclement and suppression of the Jinxuedi people would come unexpectedly.

On the second day, the weather cleared, and the camp stepped up the transfer of grain, grass and supplies. Fortunately, the Central Plains thieves only thought of setting fires, and did not slaughter horses and unicorns, if all the livestock were slaughtered, the camp would not be able to move even a generation of flour.

The shipment lasted half a day, and in the afternoon it was on the road. Along the way, they passed by the Jin Xuedi people, and walked for six days to reach the entrance of the Cupigon Valley, Jiang Jie and others filled in a temporary dirt road two zhang wide and five miles long in the swamp in advance, and the road surface was mixed with mud, grass and dry branches, which was not very reliable, and it was easy to fall into it if you were not careful.

Su Hong led people to wait by the lake with a huge raft, and it was not a problem to load one or twenty people at a time.

"General, let's hurry up and cross the river!"

Bai Liyan stepped on the raft and asked:

"How many of these rafts are there?"

"At first there were eight ships, but later they were too slow, and after crossing the lake, they cut down trees on the spot and made fourteen more ships, a total of twenty-two, which could carry four or five hundred men at a time, or fifty or sixty horses, and one unicorn could only carry two horses."

As the two spoke, Bai He came hurried through the swamp water:

"General, as expected, the old pawn broke off in the back and caught two sneaky guys following us!"

"Have you been tried?"

"After the trial, one of them is Feng Ming's subordinates, and the other is from outside!"

"In this way, the Central Plains thieves under Feng Ming's command have already connected with the Jin Xuedi people!"

"I think so, otherwise two people will not follow us, we must confirm the location of our army, so that we can go back and leak the news."

"Let everyone hurry up and cross the lake, and then let people cut down more woods on the east side of the swamp, and set fire to them before the Jin Xuedi people arrive, so as to delay the Jin Xuedi people from collecting materials."

"No!"

After instructing Bai He, Bai Liyan said to Su Hong again:

"How's the road scouting in the mountains?"

"Lu Gao and Sikong Nan have been exploring south, west, and north with their old soldiers for a few days, but there is no news yet. The last general has set up a secret post on the top of the mountain at the key point on the east side, and as long as he finds an abnormality, he can get the news immediately. ”

The terrain east of the Qiubigon Mountain has been roughly figured out, and Jiang Jie, Su Hong and others entered the Qiubigon Valley and sent search teams to the south, west, and north as planned to find out the terrain and look for possible other passages out of the valley.

It took two days for the brigade to cross the small lake, and another three days to cross the lake with unicorns, war horses, grain, grass, and equipment, while Su Hong led his men to guard the exit and continue to monitor.

Sheds and temporary shelters were built in the valley, and Jiang Jie had some wild sheep and deer caught in captivity, wild boars were too fierce to catch, but it was very difficult to raise.

After several days of repairing, there were old soldiers returning from the mountains one after another, and no other roads could be found out of the mountains until Sikong Nan returned and brought back bad news, not too bad. On the west side of the valley were found caves with access to the outside world, the caves were large and ran parallel along the surface, but the caves were dead holes.

"There are eight caves, the longest cave is about a mile long, the largest cave can hide more than 1,000 people, and the other caves can also hide 2,000 or 3,000 people. But they are all dead holes, and it is impossible to go from inside the cave to the outside of the West Mountain. Sikong Nan explained the situation in detail, roughly drawing the path to the cave on the ground.

"Can you climb over the mountain where the cave is located?"

"It is extremely difficult, the road to this place is a broken head, the mountain where the cave is located is very steep, and it is impossible for the army to climb it. The last general ordered the old man to climb for two days before reaching the top of the mountain, and the back mountain was even steeper than the front mountain, and there was no possibility of entering from outside the mountain.

In addition, there is a hill to the west of this mountain, the hill is not high, as long as you turn over the hill, it is a plain forest, and then to the west you can faintly see the water mist transpiring, it should be a big river. ”

"It seems that there is really no way out, so I can only open up the west side of this mountain cave!"

"The last general thinks the same, the length of this mountain is estimated to be more than a mile, and the thickness of the rock at the end of the cave and the back mountain is estimated to be no more than sixty or seventy steps, and if it can be penetrated, our army will be able to go out from here. But at present, our army does not have the tools to dig through the mountains and stones, and it is difficult to open the mountains and build roads. ”

"If we think about this matter in the future, there is still an extremely difficult matter at the moment. Feng Ming had already rebelled, and pulled more than 800 people to turn against the water and leave more than ten days ago, but this is not the most important thing, the most important thing is that Jin Xuedi people widely spread Central Plains thieves among the descendants of the Central Plains to monitor every move, and there are also Central Plains thieves in the rebel army. And our army was not very prepared to rescue the people at the beginning, and there may be hidden thieves in the Central Plains. ”

"There are such things, but so many people, how can they find out!"

"From today onwards, we will take the elite old soldiers of the headquarters, leave the camp with enough grain and grass, and scatter into the surrounding mountains in a group of five to ambush, and return to the camp to pick up their own after the food and water are cut off, so as to prevent thieves from the Central Plains from taking the opportunity to go out of the mountains to report the news.

At the same time, internal guards were set up to hoe and rape, but if a suspicious person is found, he will immediately report it to me, and he will be screened secretly, and he will not be allowed to commit black hands in private, nor shall he be interrogated publicly, so as not to panic and be used by people with ulterior motives. ”

Since ancient times, there have been countless slaves who have died without knowing how to fight to the death and survived for their own selfish interests, and committed themselves to foreign enemies.

After the Jin Xuedi people domesticated the Central Plains people, they secretly inserted the Central Plains thieves into the villages of the Central Plains people in various places to achieve the purpose of surveillance and rule, and their behavior was no different from that of traitor spies, and the harm to the entire army was far greater than the military destruction brought by the enemy.

At the same time, more than ten days after Bailiyan transferred to the Qiubigon Valley, the news finally reached Posong City through the Central Plains thieves and then through the garrisons outside the province. Hearing the news that more than 13,000 rebels had gathered in the depths of the province, Gudapa was taken aback:

"It can't be, it can't be...... How could they have thirteen thousand people! ”

"Your Excellency, the news is from an insider, and it's true." The Magistrate affirmed.

"Then why didn't you report it until now, what did you do earlier!"

"According to the information of the insider, in the past six months or so, this rebel army has implemented extremely strict military control, and our insiders have no way to escape."

"Do you know where they came from?" Gudapa asked hurriedly.

"It's not clear, but rumor has it that they're from the north!"

"Damn, they're the Central Plains Army! Are there any other clues, like their weapons, their armor? ”

"This ...... It's unclear, but it's said they don't speak with a local accent. ”

"That's right, they must have come from the north. Where is Kabias now? ”

"Your Excellency Archon should be in the Municipal Square Gardens, preparing for the monthly dinner event."

"Hell, get me a carriage, I'm going to see him!"

"Yes, my lord!"

Gudapa quickly realized that the gravity of the incident was far more serious than a few rioting thieves.
