Chapter 88: Decisiveness
The two captured captives were tied up like zongzi, if it weren't for Wu Fanhui's immediate inquiry, I am afraid that the two would have died a long time ago, so Wu Fanhui also learned the means of Jinyiwei, no wonder the Ming civil and military officials, when talking about Jinyiwei, they are deeply hated.

The two captives can't stand up, Wu Fanhui doesn't have any sympathy, and he is about to face a fight, there is no problem of mercy between him and Zhang Cunmeng, who is not in the mud, and the two sides have become life and death opponents.
"I ask you two questions, first, what does the mud look like, and second, what is the topography of Caijiaao, and where is the mud, if you can answer well, let you have a full meal."
After Wu Fanhui opened his mouth to ask, he stepped aside and asked Li Yong and the others to listen in detail, not that he didn't want to listen, but the smell of these two people, he really couldn't stand it, it was estimated that if he stood for a while, he would be smoked into tears, there was no way, he, a person who crossed, still paid attention to hygiene, although there were no such good conditions after crossing, but his body was kept clean at all times, at least there was no smell.
Half an hour later, Li Yong and Ma Jigang came over.
"Childe, this is the topographic map of Caijiaao, damn, this one doesn't stick to the mud, and there really is a set."
With the help of the torch, Wu Fanhui carefully looked at the topographic map.
Caijiaao is a zigzag col, the front is the entrance and exit, the left and right and the back are the peaks, do not stick the mud and the elite under its command, all are in the col, and the import of the col is occupied by many displaced people and hungry people, anyone who wants to enter the col will alarm the hungry people and displaced people outside, these displaced people and hungry people have no combat effectiveness, but once they are in chaos, Wu Fanhui and others can not control the situation at all, at that time, do not touch the mud can take the elite men, easy to escape.
The elite around Bu Mud, about thirty people, these people have followed Mu Mu since the beginning of the rebellion.
Wu Fanhui knew that it was not a big problem to exterminate these people, but if he alarmed the displaced and hungry people outside, there would definitely be no chance.
As for what it looks like without mud, Wu Fanhui doesn't particularly care, as long as Li Yong and the others are clear.
After just a little thought, Wu Fanhui spoke.
"Continue to ask those two prisoners, there must be a road in the col, it will not be so stupid not to get muddy, trap yourself in the col, if the official army comes to encircle and suppress and block the exit, it is not a dead end if you don't get mud, there are only thirty people around him, it is impossible to start a large-scale fight, as for those displaced and hungry people, it is to play the role of reporting information."
"I asked, but these two don't know."
"Well, kill these two people, we rushed to Caijiaao overnight, and found someone who is familiar with the road nearby, who is not muddy is a Luochuan person, who is familiar with the surrounding terrain, there must be a road in the col, in case of emergency, you can escape from the road in the col without mud."
When Wu Fanhui opened his mouth to say that he had killed the two captives, he didn't blink an eyelid.
Rao is Li Yong and others are bold and black-hearted, and they can't help but be stunned for a moment.
"These two people can't stay, only the dead can keep secrets, our whereabouts must not be exposed, if we escape this time, we will not have a second chance."
When Wu Fanhui began to wrap the horse's hooves in a cloth towel, Li Yong really couldn't help it.
"Childe, I think you seem to have experienced a hundred battles, you know everything, even the things that this war horse can't make a sound, you can think of it...
"Brother Li, if you read a lot of books, you will also be able to know these things."
"This, I can't read, I don't have that patience, and I don't know how to read, so I'll learn more from my son in the future."
"Okay, you should have heard this word of knowing oneself and knowing that the enemy will not be defeated in a hundred battles, which means that you must have a clear understanding of your own strength and a full understanding of the opponent's situation, so that you can win all battles."
"But if the opponent's strength is too strong, you can't know it."
"Alas, you're stupid, you know that your opponent is strong, so what are you going to fight, turn around and run."
Li Yong's face turned red again, and he found that in front of Wu Fanhui, his brain was indeed a little insufficient.
At that time, fifty-one people left the mountain col and went in the direction of Caijiaao, fifteen miles away, according to Wu Fanhui's analysis, one hour was enough to arrive, that is, to arrive at Caijiaao, at this time most of the people should have slept.
There is a village near Caijiaao, and everyone has almost fled, Wu Fanhui and his entourage first have to go to that village, find an insider and ask clearly, he knows that some old people in the village will not leave.
At three o'clock, Wu Fanhui entered the house.
An old man with fluffy hair, skinny skinny and a peculiar smell on his body, his eyes were blank, looking at Wu Fanhui and the others who came in.
"Old man, this is wheat cake, you can eat some first."
Wu Fanhui didn't ask immediately, but took out two wheat cakes from his arms and handed them to the old man.
When he saw the wheat cake, the old man's eyes quickly turned, and he grabbed the wheat cake and stuffed it into his mouth.
Seeing that the old man was eating too quickly and was almost choked, Wu Fanhui motioned to Ma Jigang beside him and handed the old man Qing Shui.
A few minutes later, the old man ate two wheat cakes and exhaled a few breaths, and the unpleasant smell instantly spread through the room.
Wu Fanhui took out the map and began to inquire softly.
"Old man, is there a way out of Caijia'ao, how many roads are there?"
The old man looked at Wu Fanhui, stretched out his thin right hand, and stretched out a finger.
"Do you mean there's a way out?"
Seeing the old man nodding, Wu Fanhui did not continue to ask, and took out two wheat cakes from his arms again and put them in the old man's hands.
"Old man, keep these two wheat cakes, don't eat them right away, otherwise they will be broken and your body won't be able to stand it."
The old man looked at Wu Fanhui, stood up, and walked tremblingly towards the outside of the room.
When Ma Ji was about to stop it, Wu Fanhui stretched out his hand to stop it.
Soon, the old man came outside, and there was a stone grinding platform in front of him, and the old man walked to the front of the platform and patted the top of the platform with his hand.
Soon, there was movement under the stone grinding table, and a dark figure crawled out from below.
The torch quickly illuminated the man who crawled out, a middle-aged man with a long beard and a face covered in stains.
The old man handed the wheat cake in his hand to the middle-aged man, who swallowed the wheat cake in a big gulp, and in less than a minute, swallowed both wheat cakes into his stomach.
"I know the road in Caijia's mountain pass, I'll take you there."
Wu Fanhui smiled, and Li Yong, Ma Jigang and others around him were dumbfounded.
"Okay, show us the way, and make sure your father and son are well fed."
The middle-aged man walked in the front, four people on the left and right followed, and the rest followed closely.
"Childe, how do you know there are still people in this house."
"An old man, so old, if he was alone at home, he would have starved to death, how could he live until now, there must be other people in the family, who do not move in this area, and will not be polite to the elderly, but will not be polite to others."
Li Yong nodded frequently.
"Also, I can't imagine that there is no one else in this house."
"The old people are starving like this, can the others survive?"
This sentence made Li Yong's body tremble slightly, and he understood the meaning.
"Childe, after entering Caijiaao, how do we treat this father and son."
"Brother Li, it seems that you still don't know who I am, such a poor person, how can I do it, what I say to them is the truth, the old man is old, what comes out of his mouth is filthy breath, obviously there is a physical problem, we can't take it away, when leaving, leave some food, so that the old man can die safely, as for the middle-aged people, if they are willing to leave with us, if they don't want to go, they will stay in the village."
Speaking of this, Wu Fanhui remembered something.
"After entering the mountain col, our goal is not to touch the mud Zhang Cunmeng and his men, as for the displaced and hungry people at the exit of the mountain pass, don't pay attention, we don't want to live, including the mud, all of them will be killed, this will not alarm the government, after tonight's operation, we can't stay, and rush to the central county overnight."
Wu Fanhui's tone was very relaxed, but the words were murderous.
"I understand, don't worry, Childe, we will never leave us alive."
"It's easy to say, it's hard to do, after all, it's dark night, don't stick to the mud Zhang Cunmeng rebelled for more than a year, and experienced some fighting, he must be very vigilant, otherwise he wouldn't be so arranged, when we do it, we can't do it steadily, accurately and ruthlessly, to investigate the surrounding situation, my suggestion is to do it when it's ugly, at this time people are at their most tired, and when the tiger is still napping, at this time Zhang Cunmeng will definitely relax his vigilance if he doesn't touch the mud."
"I know, when I entered the col, I personally led people to investigate and find out the situation."
"Well, we must kill the people patrolling around, and when we fight, we need to know where to hide our money without getting muddy."
Wu Fanhui finished his order and stopped talking.
Li Yong honestly followed his side and stopped talking.
A crescent moon in the sky covered the earth with a layer of silver light, and the surroundings were unusually quiet, not even the sound of insects chirping, although it was the early winter season, but the surroundings were not so quiet.
Wu Fanhui knows the reason, the cruel famine, the scene of cannibalism has appeared, how can there be other living mouths around, whether it is insects, or leaves and weeds, it has long entered the stomach of people, he remembers very clearly, the outbreak of plague in the eighth year of Chongzhen and the sixteenth year of Chongzhen, is because the common people caught rats to eat, and as a result, they were infected with plague, resulting in a large outbreak of plague in Shanxi, Henan and Beizhili in the north.
He Wu Fanhui has crossed over, maybe he can do something, at least so that some tragic scenes will not appear again.
