After a while, a very thin man was brought up, he was actually a little dwarf, a man in his thirties, but he was as tall as a three-year-old child, but he looked very well-proportioned, Du Fuwei couldn't help but laugh when he saw him, this person was a small trick raised by the Huang family of the Liyang Wang clan, nicknamed Rat Lang.

"Rat Lang, do you have any news for my master?"

"My master has a letter for me to bring to the king."

The villain took out a scroll of letters and presented it to Du Fuwei, who looked at it in the moonlight for a while, and couldn't help but secretly rejoice, the Sui army was resting in the city, there were only two thousand people on the dock, and the army he brought was enough to quickly destroy the other party.

Du Fuwei's wishful thinking was to destroy the Sui warships, so that the Sui army had to return to Jiangdu on foot, and then he took advantage of his familiarity with the terrain to defeat the main force of the Sui army in the Liuhe Mountains.

Now that he learned that there were only two thousand garrisons at the Sui Army Wharf, he immediately realized that the opportunity had come.

He immediately instructed one of his subordinates, "Go and inform General Qi quickly, and we will do it together at the third watch." ”

"Yes!" The soldier turned and galloped away,

At this time, Du Fuwei smiled at Mouse Lang again: "Go back and tell your master, keep a firm eye on the main force of the Sui army for me, and if you find that the Sui army is assembled, immediately shoot rockets at the head of the city to inform me." ”

"Rat Lang knows."

The villain ran away with his calves, Du Fuwei stared at the thin figure and ran away, and he looked at the county town of Liyang sprinkled with moonlight, and a sinister smile couldn't help but appear on his face

The Rat Lang ran back under the northern wall, swam across the moat, and then burrowed into the hole in the wall, which was a secret passage dug by Duvwey, and took advantage of the damage at the bottom of the wall to connect several water tanks that had been knocked out of the bottom. In order to prevent the Sui army from discovering it, the entrance of this secret passage is in a big tree hole next to the city wall, the tree hole is very small, only children can get in, and the Huang family happens to have such a dwarf villain.

Rat Lang had just crawled out of the hollow in the tree. A large net was suddenly cast on the top of his head, binding him firmly, and several Sui soldiers who were in ambush rushed out next to him, laughing and saying: "The little ghost head has been caught!" ”

When the rat lang swam out of the city and swam across the moat, he was discovered by the Sui soldiers, and they immediately reported to the main general on duty, Luo Shixin, who soon found the tree hole, he was silent, waited for the rabbit, and sure enough, he caught the rat lang who climbed back.

"General Luo. He's not a child! One soldier was surprised to recognize the child he had caught.

Luo Shixin stepped forward, only to see the person in the net shrunk into a ball of fright, like a civet cat, he used a torch to shine on the face of the rat, it was clearly an adult face, Luo Shixin also smiled in surprise: "It seems that tonight has a good harvest, caught a civet cat." ”

Jang Xuan's temporary military office was located in the county office. Soldiers are not tired of deceit, and the instinct of years of fighting tells him. Since Du Fuwei set up an ambush, he would never be willing to harvest only a hundred cavalry, he must still be hiding in Liyang County, waiting for another opportunity to ambush him.

Therefore, Zhang Xuan only reprimanded local officials during the day, and did not hold them accountable, he believed that some of these officials must have secretly communicated with Du Fuwei. This is called wanting to get away with it.

Zhang Xuan paced back and forth in the lobby with his hands in his hands, waiting for news, when a personal soldier reported to the hall, "General Qiyu." General Law caught a spy. ”

Zhang Xuan laughed, what he expected was good, he immediately ordered: "Let him come to see me!" ”

After a while, Luo Shixin walked quickly into the lobby and laughed from afar, "General, see what I caught?" ”

Zhang Xuan saw that Luo Shixin was carrying a child in his hand, and couldn't help but smile strangely: "How can you catch a child!" ”

"Kid?"

Luo Shixin snorted and threw the 'child' to the ground, the strength was a little heavier, the 'child' screamed in pain, and Zhang Xuan also heard the clue, which was clearly an adult's voice.

He stepped forward to take a closer look, and the 'child' actually had a beard, and the eyes of a pair of mice were terrified.

"General, this man sneaked out of the city and was caught by us when he entered the city."

Dwarf Zhang Xuan has seen a lot, but he has never seen such a well-proportioned dwarf, from behind he is definitely a two or three-year-old child, but his face is exactly a man, and his face is full of cunning, Zhang Xuan has already discovered that this villain has calluses on his right hand, and he is obviously also a martial arts practitioner.

"If you don't want to endure hardship, answer honestly, what are you doing out of the city?" Jang Hyun squatted down and asked with a smile.

"I'll go out and catch game."

The villain's eyes rolled very quickly, "I like to roast and eat in the field." ”

"Really? Since you are catching wild meat for a living, you don't need to use a sword. ”

The cold light flashed, and the thumb of the villain's right hand was cut off by the roots, and blood gushed out, and he was stunned for a moment, and the villain howled like a pig.

Jang Xuan wiped his ears with a dagger, "Are there extra ears?" ”

"I say I say!"

The villain hissed and screamed, "I'm going to see Du Fuwei!" ”

Zhang Xuan turned back to his soldiers and said, "Take him down to torture, and if you feel that there is half a lie, cut off one of his ears until you cut him off all over his body!" ”

Several personal soldiers carried the villain down, and at this time, Zhang Xuan saw that Lu Qingyuan on the side had an unbearable look on his face, so he asked with a smile: "Does Qingyuan have pity?" ”

"Of course I understand!"

Lu Qingyuan hurriedly said: "After all, he has to record a confession, especially if he admits that he went to see Du Fuwei, if the general is not ruthless, I'm afraid he won't confess." ”

"It's not just this reason, this kind of villain has practiced martial arts and is agile, if he becomes an assassin, you will be unable to guard against it, and sooner or later he will die at his hands, the best way is to kill him first."

Zhang Xuan wiped it on his neck with the palm of his hand, "This is called prevention before it happens!" ”

Lu Qingyuan was shocked, but he didn't know what to say, he just felt that the other party was suspicious and killed him directly, which was too ruthless.

After a while, the soldiers hurriedly walked in and presented the confession in their hands to Zhang Xuan, who looked at it and couldn't help sneering: "It turns out that his name is Rat Lang, but he is also worthy of his name." ”

He continued to look closely, Du Fuwei wanted to contact General Qi, Zhang Xuan frowned and asked, "Who is this General Qi?" ”

"He doesn't know either! I guess I really don't know. ”

Zhang Xuan looked at the confession again, it was actually a member of the Huang family, the Liyang County scholar clan really colluded with Du Fuwei, he pondered for a moment, and ordered his own soldiers: "Bandage this rat Lang's wound, you tell him, as long as he is willing to testify against Huang You in public, I will spare his life." ”

Lu Qingyuan was even more frightened, Huang You is the head of the Huang family, a famous family in Jianghuai, and the former Taishou of Lujiang County, is Zhang Xuan going to attack the Jianghuai family?

But Lu Qingyuan didn't dare to say much, he knew that he was indifferent in military and political affairs, and he could only go to Fang Xuanling to discuss this matter.

At this time, Zhang Xuan had already walked out of the lobby, only to hear his voice coming from the steps, "Pass my order, and the army will assemble immediately!" ”

Lu Qingyuan also quietly left through the side door, he couldn't let Zhang Xuan make a big mistake and kill Huang You, Zhang Xuan would become the public enemy of the entire Jianghuai clan, which was extremely detrimental to his future

The temporary camp of the Sui army is located in the miners' camp in Nancheng, which is a large camp for miners to return to the city to rest, covering a large area and can accommodate 30,000 miners, and now it has become a temporary barracks for 8,000 Sui troops.

At this time, 8,000 soldiers have been assembled in the barracks and can set off at any time, but Zhang Xuan is waiting for time, according to the explanation of the rat Lang, Du Fuwei will start at the third watch, and it is only after the second watch.

Moreover, Zhang Xuan deduced from the number of thieves in Liyang County that Du Fuwei's army was only 10,000 at most, which was similar to himself, but Zhang Xuan needed to know who General Qi was that Du Fuwei wanted to contact?

In the big tent, Zhang Xuan said to several scouts: "You go and inform General Wei Chi that Du Fuwei is likely to steal the camp tonight, let him get ready!" ”

Wei Chigong led 2,000 men to guard the ships at the docks, and Zhang Xuan deduced that Du Fuwei's goal was either to attack the city or to the Sui army on the docks.

"Obey!" Several scouts saluted and rushed to inform Wei Chi Gong that he had arrived.

At this time, Luo Shixin hurried over with an official and reported at the door of the tent, "General, I brought an insider with me!" ”

"Who's coming?"

Zhang Xuan walked out of the big tent, only to see Luo Shixin followed by a man in his thirties, burly and very strong, Zhang Xuan looked at him and asked, "This is-"

The man hurriedly bowed and saluted, "The humble position was once Cangcao in Liyang County who joined the army, and his name was Ren Zhitu. ”

Zhang Xuan smiled: "I wonder if there is a General Qi under Du Fuwei?" ”

"Yes! Du Fuwei's scout general is called Qi Liang, and there is also a general named Qi Shoufang on the side of Zhongli County. ”

Zhang Xuan thought about it, Zhongli County was too far away, it should be Qi Liang, and he asked again: "Does Ren Senjun know where this Qi Liang is?" ”

Ren Shitu smiled and asked, "Did the general encounter Du Fuwei's sentinel ship in the Yangtze River?" ”

"I think I should have met it."

Jang Hyun remembers that there were strange boats peeking at him along the way, and in retrospect, they must have been Duvoy's sentinel boats.

"Du Fuwei has a total of more than 100 sentinel boats on the Yangtze River, about 2,000 people, and this Qi Liang is the commander of these sentinel boats."

Zhang Xuan suddenly woke up, he knew what Du Fuwei wanted to do? (To be continued.) )
