If you want to find another subordinate under Yang Guang who is as meticulous as Zhang Xutuo, then it should be Li Che, the Duke of Qi'an. 【Cat Flutter Fastest and most complete update free】

Although he did not agree with Yang Guang's proposal to send scouts to the Turkic territory to investigate and arrest him, and even assassinate Gao Baoning, once he received the order, Li Che still carried out Yang Guang's order without any deviation: not only sent all the men and horses of the scout battalion led by Zhao Cai to the Turkic territory, but also ordered Liu Fang, who had shown great courage since he surrendered to the army, and Liu Fang, who he had admired a lot, to lead his headquarters to cooperate with Zhao Cai's troops, and set off from Dingzhou, where he was stationed, to sneak to the border between the Turks and the Khitan and other departments to investigate Gao Baoning's whereabouts. Similarly, Li Che also gave Liu Fang a killing order for Gao Baoning.

Liu Fangyuan was one of the sergeants recruited from Hebei by Yang Guang in the early years of the emperor's advocacy of An Ruoxi's advice, and he and Luo Yi, who were conscripted into the army, were particularly outstanding in the war with the army, and repeatedly made military exploits, so he has now been promoted to a Sui military governor, leading a 300-foot army to follow the marching governor Du Yan to garrison the city of Dingzhou east of Bingzhou.

Li Che actually intended to transfer Liu Fang to the Jin King Hussar Battalion under his command as the general of the unified army, but because Du Yan also appreciated Liu Fang very much, he refused to let him go, and considering that there was no vacancy in the pipe bands of the various battalions of the hussar battalion at present, if Liu Fang came, he could only be an ordinary general, which would be a bit condescending, so he was left to serve under Du Yan until now.

This time, Li Che considered that with the more than 300 people in the scout camp led by Zhao Cai, there was a serious shortage of manpower in order to find Gao Baoning within a radius of several thousand miles in the Turkic territory, so with Du Yan's consent, he sent an additional 300 infantry troops led by Liu Fang to the eastern part of the Turkic territory to investigate Gao Baoning's whereabouts.

Compared with other armies, this infantry army under Liu Fang has a remarkable feature: not only are they all Hebei natives, but they are also all from the border capital bordering the Turks and the most seriously disturbed by the Turks for many years.

It is naturally much smoother to be able to speak Turkic fluently, and then change into the clothes of Turkic herders and go deep into Turkic territory to visit people. Therefore, not long after Liu Fang was ordered to lead his army out of the customs, he found Gao Baoning's hiding place in the Turkic territory - a castle located on the eastern border of the Turks, called Caochang Fort.

When Liu asked the local Turkic herdsmen that Gao Baoning was currently hiding in Caochangbao, there were only ten sergeants with him, and according to the local Turkic herdsmen, when Gao Baoning fled to Caochangbao two months ago, he also brought more than 100 personal soldiers and guards.

According to the information he found, Liu Fang could infer that Gao Baoning was hiding in Caochangbao on the eastern border of the Turks, which was not only protected by the Turkic authorities, but also convenient for him to escape from the Turkic territory at any time and find another country to live in. From this, he further thought: whether he quickly returned to Guannai to report the news, negotiated with the Turkic Shabalu Khan through the current King of Jin, and forced him to hand over Gao Baoning, or gathered 300 men and horses scattered in all directions, launched a strong attack on Caochangbao with relatively superior forces, and captured Gao Baoning, these two options may delay the fighter. As long as Gao Baoning heard the wind and grass in Caochangbao, it would not take half an hour to flee to the Khitan or other tribal territories to hide, so it would be difficult to find him again.

After thinking about it repeatedly, Liu Fang made a bold decision: he led the only ten sergeants around him to try to sneak into Caochang Fort, even if he couldn't capture Gao Baoning back to the pass, he would cut off his head and remove the trouble.

As the saying goes: the courage of the general is the soldier, and there is no weak soldier under the strong general. Liu Fang told the ten sergeants who followed him about his decision, and none of the ten sergeants flinched timidly, and they all told Liu Fang that even if he took his life, he must complete the order given by Liu Dudu and kill Gao Baoning.

Liu Fang was deeply encouraged, and immediately ordered this Sui army detachment, including himself, to divide into two groups: he and the three sergeants with martial arts were responsible for the task of capturing or assassinating Gao Baoning, while the other seven sergeants tried to set fire to various places in the Caochang Fort when his group was engaged with the enemy in the Caochang Fort, so as to attract the attention of the Turkic troops stationed in the Caochang Fort and cover the rapid withdrawal of the whole team to the Guannei.

Now that the assigned task was completed, there was no need to disguise themselves, Liu Fang led ten Sui army sergeants who looked like ordinary Turkic herdsmen and came straight to Caochang Fort.

Caochangbao, as the name suggests, was originally a place where local herdsmen came to pile up and store pasture, because it is located at the junction of Turkic and Khitan tribes and states, after years of development, it has now become a border town where hundreds of families live for a long time.

As soon as Liu Fang walked into the town with ten sergeants, he went his separate ways according to the original plan. Liu Fang led three Sui army sergeants with martial arts skills to a large mansion at the south end of the town. In advance, they had inquired and understood that this was the only mansion in the grassland fort that could accommodate more than 100 people, and after Gao Baoning fled from Goguryeo to settle here, he spent a lot of money to buy this mansion and lived in the mansion with his personal guards.

Liu Fang took the three sergeants straight to the gate of the house, spoke fluent Turkic, and commanded the soldiers who guarded the door with a big grin: "You two go in and say to General Gao, and say that we are on the order of the Great Khan, and we have come to pick him up to meet the Great Khan in Zihe Town, and ask him to come and greet him quickly." ”

The two personal soldiers under Gao Baoning, who were guarding the gate of the courtyard, looked Liu Fang and the others up and down a few times, and saw that they were all dressed as ordinary Turkic herdsmen, and because they couldn't understand the Turkic language, they shook the swords in their hands and wanted to drive them away.

Seeing this situation, Liu Fang deliberately pretended to be annoyed, reached out and took out a waist card that was originally captured on the battlefield from his arms, and threw it to the two personal soldiers with a "snap", still shouting at them in Turkic dialect: "Take this to General Gao, and order him to go out quickly to greet him!" ”

Although the two personal soldiers under Gao Baoning really couldn't understand the Turkic dialect, they saw that Liu Fang was full of posture and had a tough tone, and they couldn't figure out what he was doing for a while, so they left one person to stop outside the door, and the other person took the waist card that Liu Fang threw over, and ran to the backyard to find Gao Baoning to report the news.
