At dusk, Zhang Renfu's army of grain arrived at Maoya Town. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info suddenly, this quiet town becomes a chicken.

Previously, Xu Lie naturally didn't forget to go to Maoya Town to reconnoitre. At the same time, I didn't forget to do some tricks and feet in Maoya Town. A small town, a place suitable for the garrison, especially a place suitable for placing a large amount of grain and grass, is certainly not much.

If it is said that the attack on Yanghe Nie Shicheng's heavy camp is to adopt the strategy of moving in the second half of the night, then if you want to attack Zhang Renfu and his party, you have to adopt the strategy of attacking in the first half of the night. The only difference between them is that Zhang Renfu's group of people will go to Yanghe before dawn tomorrow, and they will get up very early. If Xu Lie is late and the Qing army has already gotten up, it will cause a scuffle, obviously, Xu Lie is not very willing to have a melee with these green battalion soldiers, if they are killed, they have to be burned, Xu Lie doesn't want to be such a wrongdoer.

Although Xu Lie could temporarily increase everyone's equipment level to forcefully suppress the resistance of the Qing army, Xu Lie felt that it was difficult to make his guys improve tactically.

"Sleep!" Seeing Zhang Renfu and his entourage riding into Maoya Town, Xu Lie gave his subordinates a different order.

Three minutes later, a snoring sounded in the woods in the mountains behind Maoya Town.

Perhaps, in terms of military discipline, the Mengshan Army already has a wisp of charm of the iron army in the original time and space, which is also the ability of Xu Lie, who was tempered from that huge furnace, is truly worthy of pride. An armed bandit at the end of the Qing Dynasty was able to develop some of the military discipline habits of a hundred years later in less than a year, which was a great advance in any case.

A hundred years, perhaps in the era of pure farming, is nothing, for example, in the early Ming Dynasty and the early Ming Dynasty, there is no obvious difference between its army, but in the late Qing Dynasty and the subsequent era of "three thousand years of unprecedented changes", Xu Lie's army This kind of leadership can really be called "great".

……

The squire Li Zangjia in Maoya Town is shining brilliantly at this time.

Zhang Renfu and two assistants sat at a table of eight immortals, drinking wine and eating meat in a big bowl. The wine they drank was said to be the Yellow River burning knife that Li Zang specially went to Laiwu City to fight. As for the meat eaten, it is naturally a few plates of fragrant chicken.

Although Li Zang also sat to accompany him, he played more of a role as a narrator and waiter. As a squire, Li Zang, although he was not afraid of Zhang Renfu coming around, he was afraid that Zhang Renfu would be unhappy and went to the Shandong Governor's Mansion to play his own book.

Speaking of which, after Zhang Rumei, the former governor of Shandong, fell into the hands of Mengyin, Cixi and Guangxu did not send any more governors, but Wang Long, the political envoy, temporarily took the position of governor.

And although Li Zang is only a squire, he knows everything about what happened in Jinan Mansion.

It is worth mentioning in particular that there is a difference between a squire and a wealthy man. At the end of the Qing Dynasty, those who could be called squires had at least the fame of showing off their talents, or even having the fame of raising people, or there were family members in the court as officials, except for these two items, they could only be called rich households.

The reason why Li Zangjia is a squire, and he is a famous squire in Laiwu, is because Li Zang's cousin is the master of Laiwu County, and Li Zang himself is just a fallen talent.

But even if he is the first talent, because he does not accept the imperial grain, his life is much better than that of ordinary people, not to mention that his elder brother is considered to be an important member of the Laiwu Standing Committee.

"Li Yuanwai, you live in Laiwu and are well-informed, I have a question, I don't know if you can solve it?" Zhang Renfu asked after stuffing an oily chicken leg into his mouth a few times, wiping the corner of his mouth.

"General Zhang, please speak." Li Zang picked up the wine jug and filled Zhang Renfu with a glass.

"You see, this Nie Marshal's army has only been from Maoya Town for three or four days, but why did Dashuai send me a telegram yesterday and ask me to speed up the transportation of grain? If I'm not mistaken, the three armies of the Great Shuai can be eaten for half a moon by themselves. Zhang Renfu asked.

Zhang Renfu: Is this considered a leak of military information? Sort of it. However, the Green Battalion has never paid much attention to military intelligence. The reason why Zhang Renfu asked like this was that he actually had two thoughts in his heart, one was that he did have doubts, to see if Li Zang, the head snake, knew; The second is that he has the intention of showing off to Li Zang, don't think that you are too embarrassed to entertain me, I am a handsome celebrity of Nie. If you, a native turtle, know each other, and say a few kind words in front of the handsome man at that time, won't your Li family be developed?

"General, how do we know about such a major military incident? That is suspected of spying on military aircraft, and if you are caught, you will be beheaded. "Li Zang will not be easily fooled.

"Have you heard anything about the front?" Zhang Renfu retreated to the next best.

"General, I've heard some gossip, after all, from Laiwu to the front line here, it is an official road, although the territory occupied by the army is very wide, but there is still news from time to time in the business travel."

"Oh, what's the news?" Zhang Renfu didn't report hope, but who knew that this hillbilly really had news.

"I heard from those traders that there have been battles in the last few days, saying that a forward battalion of the Wuyi Army suddenly disappeared, and the Gan Army's personal guard cavalry chased people into a valley, and the thousand two hundred men were swallowed up by a puff of smoke in less than an hour...... Also, there is that yesterday morning, there were gunshots on both sides of the Yanghe River, but the gunfire stopped in the afternoon, and those merchants said that the gunshots were the imperial army that wanted to build a bridge over the Yanghe River, but was blocked by the Mengshan army, and the two sides fought, but in the end it seemed that the imperial army failed to break through. As he spoke, Li Zang poured out everything he had heard.

Unexpectedly, when Zhang Renfu heard this, he didn't get angry, but held the wine glass and made a gesture of wanting to drink or not, his eyes were confused into a line, as if he was thinking about something.

Zhang Renfu was really thinking about something, after all, he was also an old soldier, from Li Zang's words, he felt that the master's army was in "trouble", there were Mengshan bandits guarding on the other side of the Yanghe River, and they fought with the imperial army, and the imperial army had not succeeded. What does this mean? This shows that this Mengshan bandit already has the same strength as the long-haired bandit and the twisted bandit back then! is even stronger than the strength of the bandits and bandits, you must know that today's Wu Yi Army, Gan Army and Yuan Shikai's new army are much stronger than the imperial army of the year!

"Looks like we'll have to get on the road early tomorrow and be more careful along the way!" Zhang Renfu quickly ended the all-chicken feast.

However, Zhang Renfu no longer drinks, but he is a little worried. After going to the battalions to check the situation on duty, especially the guard of the grain and grass camp, Zhang Renfu, who returned to Li Zang's house, still couldn't sleep. Because he felt that the trouble encountered by the marshal might be very great, and it would even affect their subordinates. Zhang Renfu is just fifty years old, and he is young and strong in the army, but he still wants to work hard for a few years and make some more money, and he is not willing to fight at this time.

It's just that what is going to happen tonight, pay attention to what Zhang Renfu can't stop. It's not that Nie Dashuai's troubles will affect him, it's that he's already in big trouble.
