readx;?“ reported that on both sides of the official road about 20 miles ahead, rebels were found stationed, and the number was about 100 people. Pen % fun % pavilion www.biquge.info. ”

It has been a long time since entering Laiyang County, and the brigade is still marching in a hurry, without delaying time at all, and the scouts sent continue to send a lot of reconnaissance information, most of which are safe, and this is the first time that such information has been received.

"The subordinates caught a tongue, and after interrogation, it was said that because the imperial army rushed to the aid of the capital city of Laizhou, the rebels strengthened the monitoring of the official road...

Li Yongyu reported here, and Wu Fanhui's face turned slightly pale.

Today is only the 11th of August, according to the calculation of time, the army led by Zhu Dadian should be the ninth or tenth day of August and the rebels in Shahe, Laiyang County is about 170 miles away from Laizhou City, and Laiyang City is 210 miles away from Wei County, plus from Weixian County to Shahe, adding up to nearly 400 miles, is it possible that the speed of the rebels is so rapid, the battle has just started about a day, and the news has spread everywhere and is on full alert.

Since the rebels have strengthened their monitoring of Laiyang, it is needless to say that Zhifu and other places are not to mention.

If the rebels moved so quickly, Wu Fanhui would have almost no chance to sneak attack the capital city of Dengzhou.

Could it be that all the arrangements were in vain?

This is a situation that Wu Fanhui absolutely does not want to see.

Kong Youde and Geng Zhongming and others have rich combat experience, and it should be said that the deployment is also in place, but the long-term victory has made Kong Youde extremely arrogant, and he has not looked at the reinforcements at all, so relatively speaking, all the deployments he made cannot be so clear, and the discipline of the rebels is extremely poor, especially after pirates and pirates join them, the discipline of the rebels is impossible to talk about.

It has been proven by countless facts that any army that lacks strict discipline and control, no matter how brave it is, is a rabble and will eventually fail.

More importantly, the distance between Shahe and Laiyang County is too far, more than 400 miles, if the rebels have such rapid movements and such strict discipline, then the army led by Zhu Dadian will not be able to win the rebels, and history will probably have to be rewritten comprehensively.

After stabilizing his mind, Wu Fanhui looked at Li Yong and spoke word by word.

"Go grab another tongue, I'm going to interrogate it myself."

After Li Yong left, Wu Fanhui issued an order to Zu Dabi and others beside him, temporarily stop the march, wait for orders, and pay attention to the surrounding vigilance, and report immediately if he finds an abnormal situation.

In less than half an hour, Li Yong and others captured a prisoner.

The captive's clothes were a little tattered, and his face was scruffy.

The captives were tied up like rice dumplings, and their faces turned pale.

Wu Fanhui didn't look at this captive squarely, he knew very well that according to this way of binding, this captive would not live long, and after the rope was tightened, it would affect blood circulation, and in the end, such a captive would either be tied alive to death, or become disabled.

"The official asks you a few questions, and I answer them honestly."

The captive was very frightened, looked at Wu Fanhui on horseback, and nodded hard.

"Why are there sergeants stationed on the official road ahead?"

"Yes, it's because the imperial court sent a large army to Laizhou."

"Oh, when did you start stationing on the official road?"

"We started stationing five or five days ago."

"How do you get in touch with Laiyang County?"

"Yes, if you find something abnormal, go to the county seat and report it."

"How many sergeants are stationed in the county?"

"Nine, nine hundred...

The captive apparently couldn't hold on, and collapsed on the ground, his face slowly turning red.

Wu Fanhui waved his hand and signaled that the prisoner would be taken away, he didn't care about the life or death of the prisoner, and Li Yong and the others would never let go of the prisoner, so the dead would not speak.

The map drawn by the scout had already been engraved in Wu Fanhui's mind, and he had already thought of a way to deal with it, but he still needed to confirm his judgment.

When Li Yong and the others reappeared beside him, Wu Fanhui spoke.

"From Weixian to Jiaozhou, the journey was very smooth, why are there rebels stationed here, tell me what the reason is."

Li Yong, Zu Dabi and the others looked at each other, they really hadn't thought about this problem, and even if they did, they didn't know the reason.

Wu Fanhui's eyes did not look at everyone, as if he was asking and answering himself.

"The news that the imperial court sent a large army to aid Denglai should have been spread a long time ago, and it is not a strange thing for the rebels to know the news, Weixian to Jiaozhou, the official road is very quiet, indicating the focus of the rebels' deployment, in the Pingdu to Laiyang line, the rest of the rebels did not deploy any troops, after all, they need to concentrate on attacking Laizhou City, but also to hold Pingdu, Laiyang, Changyi, Huangxian and even Weixian and many other cities, they cannot disperse their forces too much."

"The rebels on the official road are just for show, they can't know that our soldiers are divided into two ways, and the sword is pointing at the matter of Dengzhou City, so we can't alarm the rebels on the official road, we have to bypass them and go straight to Dengzhou City, the closer we get to Dengzhou City, the more heavily guarded it should be, and our plan is probably going to be adjusted."

Zu Dabi and the others' expressions are obviously a little unsightly, just now the prisoner also said that if there is an accident on the official road, the rebels will go to the county seat to report, if all the hundred or so rebels are killed, won't there be no one to report the news, always marching in such a hurry, always avoiding the rebels, when is the head.

Wu Fanhui looked at Zu Dabi and the others, and spoke again.

"This official knows what you think, but there are only about 100 people, and it is not a big problem to kill them all, but this official can't take risks, this place is still close to four hundred miles away from Dengzhou City, we can't lose a big one because of a small loss, if the rebels in the county town send personnel to the official road again, and no sergeants are found stationed there, then they will definitely suspect that the news will soon spread to Dengzhou City, and at that time, the possibility of our operation succeeding basically does not exist."

"Order all the sergeants to bypass the path ahead and avoid the rebels on the official road, and today we must leave Laiyang and enter the territory under the jurisdiction of Fushan."

A detour from the trail means walking nearly ten miles more.

Wu Fanhui's order was quickly executed, the trail was not very easy to walk, he dismounted first, led the horse in front, Zu Dabi and others also dismounted and followed behind him.

This trail is a road in the middle of the valley, there are many smugglers of salt in Denglai, in order to avoid the investigation of the government, many smugglers of salt pass through these paths, and some caravans transporting smuggling salt also go from the trail, so the surrounding area of the trail is not particularly barren, and traces of population excavation can be seen in some places.

Zu Dabi, who followed Wu Fanhui's side, finally couldn't help it.

"My lord, the last general thinks that there will be more rebels in front, and always dodging like this, it is not a way, in case we meet the rebels, our whereabouts will not be completely exposed."

"You're right, our whereabouts will always be exposed, but one thing you don't forget, if we enter Zhifu and are discovered by the rebels, then what will the rebels think, are we flying down from the sky, so many rebels along the way, have you not found our traces, I said, this team, also mostly Liaodong Han people, when the time comes, we can pretend to be rebels, confuse the other party, as for Zhifu and other places, when it is time to do it, we can also do it, there is a lot of intelligence, We need to know that the army led by Lord Zhu has already started a fight with the rebels, is it possible that there will be no movement in the capital of Dengzhou, and is it possible that Kong Youde and others will not send sergeants back to report the news. ”

Wu Fanhui has explained in detail, but Zu Dabi still doesn't understand, he is a tendon, and he doesn't know how to turn when he encounters something.

"My lord, the last general still doesn't understand what these rebels who reported the news have to do with us."

Wu Fanhui couldn't help but sigh in a low voice, no wonder too many generals in the Ming Dynasty have no status, and many people know how to fight on the battlefield and don't know how to think.

"Why doesn't it matter, can't we enter the capital city of Dengzhou to report the news?"

Zu Dabi slapped his forehead violently, and his face turned a little red.

"The last general is stupid, I didn't think of this, but there are more than 2,000 of us, won't it arouse the suspicion of the Dengzhou rebels."

"That's a good question, if we rush to Dengzhou Capital City in a swarm, even fools will suspect it, we just want to make the rebels stationed in Dengzhou Capital City not suspect, so that we can take Dengzhou Capital City in one fell swoop."

Zu Dabi opened his mouth wide, if he was allowed to complete such a combat mission, even if he wanted to break his head, he would not be able to do it.

When he looked at Wu Fanhui, Zu Da Bi opened his mouth.

"My lord, the last general, the last general really can't think of so much, if you rush to kill on the battlefield, the last general has nothing to say, but if you think about these troubles, the last general's brain is not enough."

"The ruler is short and long, everyone has their own advantages, don't be arrogant, your ancestor is a madman, isn't he famous on the battlefield, just give full play to this advantage, don't think so much about the rest of the things, there are more and more dangers ahead, we need to be more careful, we must not lose the big because of the small, tell you that all the soldiers under your command must strictly obey the order, and must not attack without authorization, if it is because of a small mistake, the rebels are vigilant, then all the efforts we have made in front of us will be in vain."

"Don't worry, my lord, the last general has already told the brothers below that if anyone dares to speak indiscriminately, his subordinates will tear his mouth apart."

Wu Fanhui nodded slightly.

Wu Sangui on the side, his eyes were bright, looking at Wu Fanhui, he didn't know what to think, Li Yong and the others looked as usual, they had long been used to all this, including Wang Laipin and Xu Yanqi and others, they would not be surprised, after all, Wu Fanhui was the champion of the palace examination, and he was a ****** and a little Sanyuan, and his skills were needless to say.
