Jiang Jie has always been cautious, resourceful and thoughtful. After listening to his analysis, Yue Su nodded and said: "Since this is the case, then according to what Mr. said, I will issue a document to Pei Xuan here, asking him to send troops to reinforcements immediately, as long as he hurries up, he should be able to arrive at the most critical moment when the decisive battle is the day after tomorrow." ”

"Exactly." Jiang Jie nodded and said.

"But sir, now there must be a detailed work of the Dragon Slaying Gang around the outside of the house, let's send people out of the city to deliver the letter, it is inevitable that the other party will not be discovered, once they think that there is no chance and do not take the initiative to attack, how can it be good?" Yue Su expressed the concerns in his heart.

"Didn't your lord send someone to put all the people in Hongfu in prison? It is indispensable to send people out to deliver letters, and send more people out, so that the people who are watching outside will not be able to clear their minds, and they all go out on horseback, and they will not be able to follow those who are young. Jiang Jie said.

"Okay, then do it!"

"My lord, just now the sentinel sent the news, and the governor of Yuesu has made a move."

In the compound where the Dragon Slaying Gang was located, in the masked man's study, Lao Yu hurriedly ran in and reported the news to his master.

"What move?" The Masked Man asked.

"The governor suddenly rode out in all directions, and ran out of more than fifty in one breath and headed for different places. Because they were all on horseback, they were very fast, and there were so many people that our people couldn't keep an eye on them at all, and our people quickly lost their goals. Lao Yu said helplessly.

"It's nothing. Yue Su must have known that there was always our people snooping on him outside of his actions, so he came up with such a trick. But he's moving now, which is a good thing for us, so let's keep looking. What is his scheme. By the way, send people to keep an eye on the garrison yamen, Yue Su calculated to send troops, and he must gather people from the garrison yamen to see how many people he moves, and we will count them. Also, how is the situation of You Sijing. Is it out? The masked man said.

"You Sijing hasn't come out yet, the situation inside. We don't know at all. Lao Yu said.

"Okay, then you go down first, and report to me immediately if you have any news." The masked man waved his hand, motioning for Lao Yu to step down.

"Yes, my lord."

Old Yu bowed down, and the masked man sat alone in the study. His eyes closed slowly, as if he was thinking about something. After a long time, he still kept this movement, and he didn't know. Is it past sleep.

Seeing that it was almost dusk, outside the door, the sound of footsteps sounded, and the masked man still didn't open his eyes, only listening to Lao Yu's voice outside, "Lord, there's news outside......

"Come in and talk." The masked man in the room still has his eyes closed. Just said lightly.

Lao Yu entered the room, the same as before. It's all about closing the door and taking a few steps forward. He bowed down and replied, "My lord, now all the people from all the yamen in the city are dispatched to rush to the Hong Mansion and take away the people in the mansion separately. It should be detained separately in the prisons of each yamen. Only those who have a position in the government are escorted to the governor's office. ”

After hearing this, the masked man was still calm, nodded slowly, and said, "Judging from this, Yue Su is planning to send troops." ”

"Why does the lord assert this?" Lao Yu said puzzled.

"There are thousands of people in the Hongfu, and there are hundreds of people who can fight, Yue Su is not a fool, if he plans to mobilize the soldiers and horses in the city to go out, he must be just in case. In this way, Yue Su will not personally go out of the city to lead the troops, and will stay in the city, but only send generals to Taihu Lake. The masked man said.

"Lord, then our chance will come. As soon as the soldiers and horses in the city moved, and Yue Su did not personally lead the troops forward, the governor's troops would inevitably be insufficient, and we could completely kill him by surprise. Took his life. Lao Yu said.

"You're wrong, as long as Yue Su sends troops, it means that Ye'er is not a traitor, we have wronged him, this is one of them. The second is that Yue Su acted cautiously, how could he be gullible to others, his dispatch of troops this time may be an illusion, the purpose is to lead us to take the initiative to attack, take advantage of the emptiness of soldiers and horses in the city, take the initiative to attack the governor, and then fight with us to the death. The masked man said.

"If that's the case, let's just respond to the changes and ignore him." Lao Yu said.

"No, we must seize this opportunity." The Masked Man said.

Hearing this, Lao Yu was a little confused, and said puzzledly: "Lord, don't you already see that Yue Su is deliberately leading us to a decisive battle and wants to wipe us out, why do you still take the initiative to attack?" ”

"Yue Su set up this game for us, on the surface, we have more than sixty percent chance of winning, and this is still without our knowledge. Now that I've seen through his mind, the odds are going to be increased by 30%, and 9 out of 10 things are safe, why don't you do it. The masked man said. But that being said, he himself didn't dare to guarantee that it would be nine out of ten, but he had to do it. Because there's a secret involved.

This secret, the old man didn't know, he nodded and said: "The lord said the same, but that Yue Su does not fight an uncertain battle, knowing that the soldiers and horses in the city are transferred, we will raid his governor's line, in the end, how will he deal with it." You can't sit still, can you? ”

"You're right, of course Yue Su won't sit still, he still has a trick. If my calculation is correct, Yue Su's next move will be Pei Xuan in Hangzhou, and what he just did was to send someone out of the city to deliver a letter, so that Pei Xuan could send troops and rush to Huzhou for reinforcements. In addition, let the soldiers and horses who left the city be able to turn around and return in time. ”

Awesome! As the leader of the Dragon Slaying Gang, he thought about it thoroughly, and Yue Su's every move was calculated by him.

"Lord, if that's the case, we won't be able to move...... Lao Yu said eagerly: "Pei Xuan is good at using soldiers, and the family soldiers are even more powerful, such a head-to-head confrontation, we are not opponents." Lord, you have to think twice......"

"Don't worry, Yue Su's letter will never be sent to Pei Xuan. As long as it can't reach Pei Xuan's hands, Pei Xuan will not send troops. Also, the officers and soldiers who go out of the city, they will only go all the way forward, and they will never turn back. The masked man said confidently.

"Oh?" Old Yu looked at the masked man with an incredible god. "Lord, you are really so sure......

"Hahahaha...... If you are not so sure, how dare you pull teeth...... Yue Su, he's dead......" the masked man said in a confident voice.

As the masked man guessed, Yue Su sent fifty horsemen out of the door, and after these people went out, they went their separate ways, each holding a line of writing, to perform different tasks. Some of them went to various yamen in the city to give orders. Let the yamen send people and go to Hongfu to raise people. put people in prison, and some took the opportunity to leave the city.

There were four people who went out from the south gate of Huzhou, and these four people were all Yue Su's cronies and guards, and they followed Yue Su when Yue Su left Beijing. After the four of them left the city, they first had difficulty following the official road. I walked to a secluded place, changed my clothes, and continued on my way.

The four of them did not rest along the way, and ate dry food when they were hungry. I was thirsty and drank water, and I prepared hard material for the horses, and in this way, after a day and a night, I finally came to Hangzhou, which was only fifty miles away from Hangzhou.

There was a two-way intersection ahead, and four people parted ways, working in pairs. Going their separate ways. Two of them came all the way to Xiaonan Town, which is still twenty miles away from Hangzhou City. It's afternoon, and it's almost dusk. After a little inquiry in the town, the two learned the location of Dade's pawnshop.

One man was waiting outside. One dismounted and walked into the pawnshop and came to the counter. The tent on the counter looked up and said listlessly, "Is this guest officer here to be a thing, or is he here to redeem it?" ”

"I'm here to redeem it." The Guardian replied bluntly.

"Ransom what?" The tent was still calm.

"Redeem the Jade Guanyin who was here two years ago."

As soon as he heard this, the eyes of the tent room lit up, and instead of the previous listlessness, he looked up at the guards, and said, "Where is the ticket?" How many taels of silver did you make? ”

"When the ticket is lost. I was paid 11,111 taels of silver. ”

When the tent man got the answer, he immediately stood up and said, "The shopkeeper is inside, please come with me." With that, he stepped aside, opened the door to the cabinet, let the guards in, and then led the way to the hall in the back.

Inside the hall sat a chubby middle-aged man, who could be seen at a glance as a complete businessman. The tent clerk introduced the guard: "This is our treasurer, what do you have to do, just tell him." ”

The guard took out a letter directly from his arms, took two steps forward, came to the shopkeeper, and said: "This is a letter from my master to your owner, please hand it over to your owner in the shortest possible time." ”

The shopkeeper took the letter, didn't even look at it, immediately put it in his sleeve, and said, "Please rest assured, it will be delivered in the shortest possible time." Pls is there anything else. ”

"No, my master is still waiting for a reply, so I'll leave. Leave. ”

"That's good, it's not far away. He Shan, take me to send this brother, and I will go to see the owner. ”

The two guards completed the task, and then said the other two, and the two of them rushed to Hangzhou City on horseback, because they had to travel an extra twenty miles, and when they arrived in Hangzhou, it was already dusk. Under normal circumstances, twenty miles can't be walked for long, but the horses can't run anymore.

At this time, the city gate was about to be closed, and the officers and soldiers defending the city were pushing the city gate outward. When the two saw such a scene, they hurriedly shouted, "Don't close the door, let's go into the city immediately." As he spoke, he hurriedly urged the horse to rush in.

When the door was closed, the soldier glanced at the two of them, and saw that the two of them were in a hurry, with sweat on their faces and covered in dust, and guessed that there was an emergency. In such a situation, it is really unreasonable not to extort a sum of money, and the door still continues to be closed at the moment, but intentionally or unintentionally leaving a gap, but the gap is too small to come in.

The two guards arrived outside the city, they were Yue Su's subordinates, and they had to feel a sense of pride, how could they put ordinary soldiers guarding the gate in their eyes, and shouted loudly at the moment: "Open the door." Let the master enter the city. ”

"Now the hour has come, the gates are closed, and no one is allowed to enter or leave, but if you want to enter the city, wait until tomorrow." The soldiers who closed the gates shouted unceremoniously.

Everyone is a peer, how can the guards not understand each other's thoughts, and know that they want money. But what are the two of them, and now they are passing the text, how can they give money, originally Yue Su asked them to keep a low profile before leaving, so as not to cause people to notice, they have forgotten now, and a guard said directly: "We are the protectors of the Governor Lord Yue, now come to pass the text, if it is delayed, I am afraid that you will not be able to afford it!" Don't open the door yet! ”

His voice was not small, not to mention the soldiers on the other side, even the soldiers in the city could hear it clearly.

When the soldiers who closed the door heard this, they were also shocked, and it could be seen that the two people outside were just plain clothes, and they secretly thought in their hearts that since it was a routine matter, they had to put on a posture and not be short of breath. Besides, if you say it's the Governor's subordinates, you're the Governor's subordinates, so you have to have some credentials. So he said, "Is there an arrow?" ”

Give Pei Xuan an order, not only to have a text, but also to have a governor's order. The two guards naturally carried it, and one of the guards took out the arrow from his arms and shouted: "Look at it, this is the arrow of the governor's yamen!" ”

Seeing this object, the soldiers guarding the gate dared to stay in trouble, so they quickly opened the door and let the people into the city.

The two of them knew where the general soldier's mansion was, so they fought all the way, rushed directly, and gave Pei Xuan an order, but it was a big event, no matter how tired they were, they didn't dare to delay. Hurry up and rush to Lion Street, and further on is the General Soldier's Palace. Now that it's a little dark, there are not many pedestrians on the street, and if the horse is not tired, it can rush to Pei Xuan's door in the blink of an eye. Why is Ma Er really not good, almost to the point, but can't run. With these two steps, the two guards were not as anxious as before, and asked the horses to walk forward.

But at this moment, two people suddenly appeared in the alley on the side, and these two people moved very fast, and when they approached the horse, they suddenly pounced on the two guards.

The location of the General Military Mansion is not a downtown area, and no one passes by on weekdays. There was no one on Lion Street, just the four of them, and the two guards were tired enough, and the other two came suddenly, and they couldn't react, and they were immediately thrown off the horse.

The two men had already prepared, knocked the guards down, and then drew their short knives and stabbed them downward.

"Pounce!" "Pounce!"
