Zhao Min found a secluded place away from everyone and asked Zhang Han to bring Xu Chu over alone to ask. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info The level of communication in these years is outrageously poor, and I have been walking for more than half a month, which is equivalent to becoming deaf and blind, and I don't know anything about the outside world. Now that he was forced to stay in such a wilderness again, the only source of information had to be found out from Xu Chu, an outsider.

Zhao Min asked Zhang Han to arrange personal guards to guard him, and he faced Xu Chu alone. He is not afraid that Xu Chu will escape, not to mention that Zuo Jin is his own personal guard, even if he talks about himself alone, his strange steps and flying knives in his sleeves are not vegetarian. He thought for a while, and said to Xu Chu: "Let me ask you, where am I waiting now?" Is there a way out? ”

Xu Chu was half-paralyzed on the ground, and it seemed that he had no intention of escaping, so he only drooped his head and replied weakly: "This place is called Broken Gut Beach, and it is located thirty miles east of Philadelphia. There are three passages to the outside, except along the ? There are still two ways besides the water boat. One of them is a mountain path, about ten miles later to the pavilion, that is, there is an official road to the outside world; The second can be along? Go to the shore of the water, go north for five miles to the pavilion. That's how I came. ”

"Why are you here? How do we know we exist? ”

"On the orders of General Tianpeng, I came here to search for the survivors of the shipwrecked ship and interrogate them. If it is a civilian, it can be left to its own devices; If it was a merchant, it was taken to Philadelphia and sent by General Tianpeng. As for you...... I am also curious, where did you come from? ”

Xu Chu still wondered, he also wanted to know where these people came from! Look at their bright armor, fierce and brave, much stronger than the regular army they encountered. I thought it was just to deal with some businessmen, and even if there were guards, it was only thirty or fifty ordinary families, but I brought a full three hundred people! Under normal circumstances, when I see the lineup on my side, I kneel directly. Unexpectedly, as soon as these murderers came up, they shouted and shouted to kill without saying a word, and they were unprepared by an arrow on the helmet on the door of the head, smashed unconscious, and the soldiers were also defeated. If I knew that there was such a group of people, I would definitely not come to abuse me so casually!

This is the third time Zhao Min has heard of the name of "General Tianpeng", and he couldn't help but ask curiously: "Who is General Tianpeng?" What is the system of the thieves of the red scarf? ”

Xu Chu originally replied with his head down, but when he heard this, he raised his head suddenly, his face full of anger: "We are the heavenly army!" Now he is unkind, tyrannical and unreasonable, and uses the people as dogs. Therefore, the oracle from heaven ordered us to act on behalf of the heavens, to die in the violent summer and prosper in the hot virtues, and to be a thief! ”

Zhao Min didn't expect this guy to react so much, he pouted secretly, and said in his heart, I know that the peasant uprisings of all dynasties have been in the name of oracles and mysteries, inciting ordinary people who don't know the truth, and when they overthrow the previous ruling regime, they will continue to be emperors. But it has to hang a sign asking for the people's lives, is it interesting? However, it is not appropriate to say this now, and it is more important to clarify the current situation first. Therefore, he replied lightly: "I lost my words. Thou shalt say so. ”

That Xu Chu gasped twice, and then muttered: "General Tianpeng's surname is Qin Mingdelu." My heavenly army is benevolent and virtuous, with the red scarf as the number, divided into three parts of the world, each of which is led by the generalissimo; The jurisdiction is subdivided into 36 parties, and the leaders of each party are called the generals, and they command the army, and they are all admired. The righteous deeds of the previous generation were unfortunately killed by the officers and soldiers, and most of the marshals and generals were killed; Now that the red scarf is back, sweeping through the country, the new general, General Qin Delu is the new Dongtai general, in charge of tens of thousands of brothers in Taishan, Langya, Donghai and other places, how can you speculate? ”

Yo! It seems to be quite formal, but there is a detailed geographical division, which is still stronger than the expected grass platform team! However, Qin Delu's name is very cheesy when he hears it, he must not be of high origin, but he can command a scholar like Xu Chu who has some insight and make him obedient, and he has some ability.

Zhao Min suddenly thought of something, and asked, "Dare to ask about cutting off Yishui and iron cables?" The strategy was done by this Qin general? ”

Xu Chu nodded, shook his head again, and said, "This order was given by General Tianpeng, but there are other people. ”

"But who is it?"

There was a faint trace of dissatisfaction in Xu Chu's eyes, and he said in a deep voice: "This person's name is Wu Ankui, the instrument of the words, this is the history of the Philadelphia Order, and the surrender of our Heavenly Army when it broke the city, it is liked by General Tianpeng, and he is a military advisor." Although this person has wisdom, after all, the people in the government will be insincere, how can they be entrusted with important tasks? However, we waited for many persuasions, but the general did not listen to them, so what could I do? Sooner or later, it will be harmed! ”

Wu Ankui? I don't know if it has anything to do with Wu'an in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms! To be honest, the compound surname of Wu An is quite rare. However, even the second-in-command of Fei County has surrendered, and it seems that the scale of the revived Red Army this time is not small!

Zhao Min then asked, "You are waiting for the red turban thief...... What is the strength of the rebels? Where are you located? Is it predictable that there will be soldiers coming this time? ”

Xu Chu sneered and squinted at Zhao Min: "Do you think that someone will tell you the secret of such a soldier?" You know that there are tens of thousands of heavenly troops, and the imperial eagle dog is incomparable. A certain loss, but mustard ears. Now that the defeated army has fled, General Tianpeng will send a large army to suppress it, but in an instant, you and the others will also be ashes! ”

Zhao Min frowned, gritted his back molars and said, "You're not afraid of death?" ”

Xu Chu continued to sneer: "Just tell you, and you can live me?" ”

Zhao Min was stunned when he heard this. As for the problem of dealing with prisoners, it is easy for anyone in this era to handle, but it is difficult to deal with it yourself. Is it really a knife click? I definitely can't do it myself. Zhao Min frowned and thought about it, anyway, the information that Xu Chu knew, the other party knew about it through the defeated soldiers who fled back; As for what the defeated soldiers didn't know (such as repairing ships, such as the origin of Zhao Min and others), Xu Chu was also unclear. Such a person, it is useless to stay, and it is unbearable to kill, so just let him go back.

Zhao Min rubbed his smooth chin and didn't speak, just tilted his head to look at Xu Chu. It is said that this is called psychological pressure, and he doesn't know if it works or not, so he will give it a try anyway. It wasn't until Xu Chu writhed uncomfortably that he slowly spoke: "If you tell the truth, you will be released, how about it?" ”

Xu Chu looked at Zhao Min, and he didn't know if he was scolding him. But then again, when General Tianpeng sent troops to help, how could this team of dozens of people, no matter how fierce it was, compete with a team dozens of times its size? What if you tell the truth? Can a dead man still reveal secrets? If you can really release yourself because of this, it is also a stopgap measure. The plan has been decided, but he said slowly: "What if you believe in you?" I think that my heavenly army is 400,000 people, and it is not too long before I replace the violent summer. On the side of Dongtai, there are 30,000 victorious troops, stationed in Kaiyang, Zhangcheng, Nancheng, and Philadelphia counties. Among them, General Tianpeng was stationed in Philadelphia, with 10,000 people under his command, and it was only an hour's journey away. There are also more than 1,000 elites led by the captain of the house, which must be reached. "After speaking, I took my eyes to look at Zhao Min, which means that there are so many people on our side, are you afraid?

Is Zhao Min afraid? Of course he was afraid. But Zhao Min also heard it, although this guy said it, but what he said was still not true, and his brain was not very good. Just now, he himself has already said that Philadelphia is thirty miles away from here, even if you don't consider the road conditions, with the speed of infantry marching in these years, you can march thirty miles in two hours, who will believe it? What's more, this still doesn't take into account the time for the defeated army to flee back to report the news, and the time to reorganize the people, don't even think about it for five or seven hours! And if you wait for five or seven hours, the sky is dark, and with the majority of people in this era, especially ordinary people, suffering from night blindness, the possibility of marching in the dark is almost negligible. In other words, if that Tianpeng general really comes to attack in a big way, it will be early tomorrow morning at the earliest!

If I had waited until tomorrow morning, I would have repaired the ship and run away! I'm still afraid of a fart! The only thing to worry about is the Yiting troops that Xu Chu said. Although the more than 1,000 people he said are not necessarily accurate, even if you make a discount, there are 500 people, ten times more than yourself. Fortunately, I chose a good position, and when I stood in a narrow position, I could only enter the army when thousands of troops came. As long as you firmly guard this intersection, you can become a situation where you can't open it. Besides, you must also block it, otherwise once you are rushed by the Red Turban Army and killed on the edge of the beach, you will have no way back, and you will definitely die!

Of course, if the Red Turban Army is all the same as Xu Chu led just now, even if it comes ten times more, what is he afraid of? However, Xu Chu also said that it was "elite" just now, but he didn't know how many percent of this elite quality could exceed compared with the rabble earlier?

However, there are still ten miles away from Yiting, and with the time to report and prepare for the march, there is also a gap of an hour at the earliest. Zhao Min immediately said lightly: "When the two armies are fighting, it is not appropriate to let you go. And when I win the battle, I should be able to release you. I will not break my word. Without waiting for Xu Chu to speak, he shouted an order to a personal guard to come over and take him down to watch him. Then arrange for Zhang Han to let the guards rest in place after they are busy, waiting for the next big battle, and then he turned around and walked to the beachhead.

When he came to the boat parking place by the beach, Shao Qi saw Zhao Min from a distance and hurriedly trotted over to greet him. Zhao Min didn't have time to be polite when he met, and asked straight to the point: "How is the situation?" ”

Shao Qi made a bitter face and replied, "The hole in the bottom of the boat is not very big, but it is only the thickness of the bowl." However, there are quite a few holes, and almost all the planks at the front end have to be removed and replaced with new ones. The materials are not a problem, there are a lot of wrecked ships here, and you can just dismantle them from other places and use them. The problem is that there are not enough repair tools, not to mention the dozens of fishermen and boatmen, there are only three or four people who can really do it, and most of the rest can only carry the planks and do some work. ”

Zhao Min sighed secretly. This is also a helpless thing, generally sailing with a small number of ship repair tools, but at most three or five sets. Who would have nothing to do with so many tool ballasts? This matter is in a hurry, and you can't launch the boat with a hole, right? Therefore, he just frowned and asked, "According to the shipwright's estimate, how long will it be before the ship can be repaired?" ”

Shao Qi replied almost without thinking: "With the current progress, it is estimated that the repair will be completed at the end of the day." ”

Zhao Min looked up at the sky, it was just past midday, which meant that he had to hold on to it for at least three hours. Immediately stretched out his hand and patted Shao Qi's shoulder and said, "It's hard to work here." Once the patch is complete, be sure to let me know as soon as possible. Whether or not we can get out of the boat depends on whether we can get out of our lives, that is, we should think about it with our hearts. ”

Shao Qi nodded his head like a chicken pecking rice: "Fourth master rest assured, Ah Fu will not be disappointed!" ”

Zhao Min nodded, didn't say more, and turned back to the narrow road at the intersection. Thinking about it as he walked, he forgot to ask how the situation in Beihai was, but it was impossible for Xu Chu to know much about it. I don't know what the situation is with Jimo? and Donglai and Linxiong, whether they are also in the midst of war, there are people there who are concerned about them!
