Although he had set such a plan, Yue Tuo did not really feel at ease in his heart, and when he was alone in the big tent, and all the generals went to appease the soldiers, his brows furrowed tightly.

Yu Guozhen is known as a tiger cub, but in his heart, where is this tiger cub, it is clearly a cunning fox!

So he has forced himself to the point where he is now, how can he leave Tingkou Town behind?

He must have something else to do, he just doesn't know. Maybe...... Tingkou Town is also a trap at all?

In Yue Tuo's heart, if it was possible, he really wanted to go west directly, even if he lost some face, as long as he met with Dolgon, even if he lost some face to the uncle to laugh at, or went back to be reprimanded and punished by Huang Taiji for this, it would be better than the current situation.

Of course he knew why.

After a while, He Shuotu ran over: "The detective hasn't come back yet!" ”

"I know, I know ......"

This is the reason why he is passive step by step, after the captives enter the customs, there are many people who take refuge, but on the east side of the mountain, all those who take refuge as guides, as long as they come out with the scout, it will not be long before they will be killed together. On the vast field of the entire Jiaodong, it seems that Yu Guozhen's eyes are everywhere, and Yu Guozhen can clearly know every move of the Eight Banners, but he is blind.

"Do you want to send another batch, at least you have to find out how many Ming troops there are in Tingkou Town, how is the garrison?" Peshuo asked.

Yue Tuo was silent for a moment, if the scouts he sent out, if they were a group of three or five people, they would basically cut off the news after leaving the brigade, and they didn't even come back alive to report the news. If it were seventeen or eighteen people, they would always be attacked, and the attackers were extremely hateful, placing two shots in the woods and cotton fields far away, turning around and running. Yue Tuo estimated that Yu Guozhen should have sent a squad of about ten scouts to deal with his scouts.

"Send more this time, send more than 100 people?" Peshuotu also thought of this and suggested.

"More than 100 rides...... The movement is so big, and Yu Guozhen has a lot of cavalry, so he will inevitably send people to intercept and kill in the middle of the road, and we are going north to the army with great speed, wouldn't sending scouts to tell Yu Guozhen that we are going to fight Tingkou Town? ”

"Now we are also heading towards the pavilion, Yu Guozhen is afraid that he already knows."

"But he didn't know we were going to run overnight. It was sixty or seventy miles from here to Tingkou, and he felt that it would take us two or three days, and that the preparations for Tingkou would not be sufficient. Yue Tuo pointed to the map and said: "Look at this lake, Yu Guozhen is on the other side of the Zhangnu River, if his main force wants to go to Tingkou, he must cross this lake, for a while, where will he find so many boats?" ”

He Shuotu was silent, Yu Guozhen's base camp was Gaomi, which was originally the city they had captured, so of course they knew that it would be quite difficult to find a ship that transported thousands of people across the lake in Gaomi, unless Yu Guozhen also drove in his sea ship that transported tens of thousands of people. But that is absolutely impossible, you know, the entire Jiaolai New River from the Yuan said to be excavated, but until now, it is mostly silted up, and now it is a dry period, and some sections are even completely dried up, he can go without a pontoon bridge and without a boat.

Jian Yu buried the pot to cook and put on the wine and meat, and was naturally sent back to Yu Guozhen by the Huwei scouts who spied from afar. Jianyu only captured a few telescopes, so each one is extremely valuable, only generals like Yue Tuo and He Shuotu have, it is impossible to send it to the hands of small soldiers, the difference is that the telescope in Yu Guozhen's hand is popularized to every team, and the scout is even more per person, so the effect of reconnaissance on both sides is completely different.

"Sure enough, Jianyu finally reacted." Getting the news, Mao Yuanyi laughed.

"Mr. Mao is right, Jianyu is really ruthless, ruthless to the enemy, and even more ruthless to his own people!"

Yu Guozhen also nodded, he had expected Jianyu to go north, but Mao Yuanyi affirmed that Jianyu would go north by night.

Night marching, in this era is a very difficult thing, not to say that there has been no special training of the Jian, is considered a tiger guard, the last time from Jiaozhou to Gaomi, there were more than ten people left behind, this is still their regular training project has a night march!

As for the Jianyu, if they really attacked at night, it would mean that at least a few hundred or even thousands of people would be left behind. Those who are left behind will be the food in the mouth of the tiger guards who follow behind.

"But Jianyu also underestimated us a little, thinking that we would be satisfied with only a few hundred of him?" Yu Guozhen said with a smile: "Yue Tuo has 76,000 people, if I don't leave half of them, it will be considered a failure!" ”

"The next step is to compete with Jianyu."

Jianyu bypasses Baimai Lake from the east bank to Tingkou Town, while Huwei has to bypass Baimai Lake from the west bank, if you talk about the distance, Huwei has to go around more than 30 miles more than Jianyu, but Huwei can leave after lunch, while Jianyu can only start after dinner. That's six hours longer, so strictly speaking, Tiger Guard still has an advantage over Jianyu.

However, the cavalry at the head of Jianyu grew on horseback, and their riding skills were indeed stronger than those of the Tiger Guard. For this reason, Yu Guozhen also has a series of arrangements, which must be made difficult to build an inch.

Zhang Zheng entered Tingkou Town with the Tiger Guard cavalry in the evening.

This town is about the same as Xiang'an, larger than the average town, and there are city walls, but this low city wall is a little difficult to defend against the usual chickens and dogs.

And in Yu Guozhen's plan, he is not ready to rely on this city wall to block the construction of prisoners.

"Where is the Pingdu Prefecture Governor's Office?" As soon as he entered the town, someone greeted him, and after the two sides exchanged passwords, Zhang Zheng immediately asked.

"Please come with us." The man said respectfully, but it was Li Qingshan.

"How many people can you mobilize?" Zhang Zheng said again: "If my people want to rest and prepare for the big battle, they can only allocate fifty people to you, and their main job is to supervise discipline, and they are not allowed to take the opportunity to loot and destroy silver and other evil things." Have you explained it to your brother? ”

"Among my brothers, there are four who were originally from Tingkou Town, and there are twenty-nine people who have relatives and friends here, and now there are two hundred and seventy-four people who can be mobilized. Nanhai Bo's military law, I have already explained it, the brothers have been rewarded, if you do evil again to ruin Nanhaibo's name, it will be a sin of thunder and thunder, and the regiment just orders to be executed! ”

"Okay, let's go to the state first, and the government will come forward, which is more justified than us."

They hurriedly came to the state government in the town, and there were naturally officials at the door, but in front of the tiger guard, these Xu officials were nothing. In the blink of an eye, they entered the hall and entered the yamen.

Zhou Cheng also came out to see the noise, and when he saw this group of strangely dressed people coming in front of him, he turned pale with fright, but he still had the courage to say: "What's the matter, do you want to rebel?" ”

Zhang was expressionless and handed a letter to him, Zhou Cheng still had to grasp his identity, and he was unwilling to open it, Zhang Cheng shouted impatiently: "Look at the letter!" ”

The content of the letter was that Jianyu was about to come to Tingkou Town, and the Denglai soldiers were ordered to organize the evacuation of the people of Tingkou and ask the state to cooperate. At the end of the letter, Sun Lin's Denglai General Soldier Guan Fang Seal was also stamped, Sun Lin was very righteous in this regard, and he didn't ask what the Tiger Guard would use it for, so he took a stack of letterhead with the seal of Guan Fang and gave it to Yu Guozhen, so it was very easy for Yu Guozhen to make this fake. But Zhou Cheng is a civil official, the Ming Dynasty has been a civil and military officer for many years, a six-grade civil official dares to scold the third-grade military general, and the first-grade military general sees the third-grade civil official to kneel down and salute and call him "master". Therefore, Nazhou Cheng was furious: "Why did the chief soldier of Denglai point fingers at this officer? ”

You must know that he is the governor of Pingdu Prefecture, and his identity is half a level higher than that of the Weixian County Order, and he really doesn't look down on a chief military officer.

This reaction was also expected by Yu Guozhen, who once said to Zhang Zheng: "Sun Kexian has caused us a lot of trouble, and now it's time for him to clean up the trouble for us, and allow you to act cheaply in his name, and it's no problem to go a little too far!" ”

Thinking of this, Zhang Zhengyi grabbed Nazhou Cheng's chest and said with a cold expression: "Military law is above everything else in wartime, and any act of obstructing military orders is regarded as surrendering to the enemy." You have three times to think about it now, and if you still don't agree after three times, don't blame me for enforcing military law. One ......"

When he shouted "one", Nazhou Cheng shouted: "Bold maniac, do you want to kill officials and rebel?" ”

Zhou Cheng struggled while shouting, but in contrast to Zhang Zheng's cold and almost expressionless gaze, his heart suddenly jumped, and a thought floated up: This guy in front of him is really used to killing people, he can definitely do this kind of thing!

"Two!"

Immediately after hearing Zhang Zheng say the word "two" again, Nazhou Cheng's mind turned again: I heard that Jianyu was circling around Gaomi Jiaozhou, and if he suddenly came north to Pingdu Prefecture, it would be very likely. If this guy kills himself and accuses himself of being a prisoner, wouldn't it be miserable!

As soon as he thought of this, before Zhang Zheng said "three", he shouted: "What do you want me to do, you say, you say!" ”

"Let all the servants under him assemble, divide into several groups, and under the leadership of my men, persuade all the people in the town to leave, even if they don't leave, as far north of the town as possible." Zhang Zhengdao: "All the grain can be taken away, and what can't be taken away should be hidden as much as possible!" ”

"But what if someone doesn't go?" Zhou Cheng was anxious when he heard this.

"If someone doesn't leave and Jianyu is killed when he comes, don't blame us." Zhang Zheng's answer remained cold and ruthless.

When Yu Guozhen discussed this matter with Mao Yuanyi and others, he originally thought that he would be criticized for making such a cold statement, but Mao Yuanyi was in awe after listening to it: "Originally, in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", Liu Bei was defeated and fled all the way with the people, but I only felt that his kindness was the best. Now that I think about it, the benevolence of the lord is better than Liu Bei. Since ancient times, famous generals have been known as the teachers of benevolence and righteousness without plundering or killing indiscriminately, and like the lord, before the war, he still wanted to transfer the people to a safe place, and even gave compensation to the people, there is no one! ”

After these words, Yu Guozhen realized that after all, this is not a great importance on people's future. In this day and age, people are just consumables.

We must change this concept, and although we cannot pull out the seedlings to help them grow, we must also move forward in the right direction for the future!
