353. Letter from Zhu Ba

The King of Sweeping and the King of Taiping tacitly agreed, and said in unison: "We bumped into the elite officers and soldiers in the dark, and escaped after tearing them up, and the losses were extremely miserable, oops...... The plan to go around to the north and west was not working. om”

"Elite officers and soldiers?" Man Xiaoxing, rampant wolf, and Yidou Gu Sanjin were all frightened: "How can there be elite officers and soldiers here?" When we attacked the county seat yesterday, the other side only had the townspeople, and there were no officers and soldiers. ”

was so doubted by other leaders, the honest man of the sweeping king wanted to tell the truth, he opened his mouth and wanted to say: "The brother said it wrong just now, in fact, it is a group of elite village warrior......s" Unfortunately, before this sentence could be spoken, the Taiping King next to him dragged him and secretly twisted it to let him stop talking, and then the Taiping King grabbed the conversation and said: "We led the troops around to the north, and met the elite officers and soldiers on a small hillside, they were neat and well-equipped, and I fought desperately with the big brother of the sweeping king, and we were unable to win the battle with heavy casualties." , and finally had to retreat in defeat...... Can this fool you? ”

The rivers and lakes are mixed, and face is very important! The problem of face is rather than give in. In order to cover up his incompetence and cowardice, he had no choice but to exaggerate the enemy's invasion a little stronger, and this was not only a vice of officers and soldiers, but also a vice of the rogue bandits.

After hearing this, Man Xiaoxing, Rampant Wolf, and Yidougu Sanjin were silent, and Sanjin's heart felt heavy. Little Huaxia hasn't been defeated yet, but I didn't expect another elite officers and soldiers to arrive, and easily defeat the 30,000 army of the Sweeping King and the Taiping King in the dark, how can this be good?

Sitting together, they all felt a little embarrassed.

At this moment, another sentry came from outside the gate to report that a letter had arrived in the camp.

The five leaders are Daqi: "This midnight three watches, who will shoot a letter to our army?" Take a look...... Cough...... No, we can't read, go and ask a literate brother to come over. ”

This is really a good toss, don't look at the total number of thieves nearly 100,000, but it's really difficult for them to find a literate person to come out, they can't find it anymore, and in the end it's rampant wolf smart, and from the female girl he caught lewd pleasure, he found out a young lady who entered the business, only fifteen years old this year, and was caught in a small town in Henan before breaking Tongguan, but he can read and write, and can write and write. The wolf didn't have time to call her for the night. The more this kind of time is not touched, the greater the psychological pressure on the girl, and the little girl lives in fear all night, worrying that she will be made into the military tent by the rampant wolf one night.

She was viciously dragged to the tent of the Chinese army by the rampaging wolf, and handed the letter to her: "Read it to me." ”

The little girl was scared to death, but when she heard that she read the letter, she took a breath, and took a closer look at the letterhead, this letter was written by a person who claimed to be under Baishui Zhuba, in order to prevent the leaders of the rogue from not understanding the words that were too difficult, so the sentences used in the letter were all in the vernacular, and they could understand it if they read it directly, so the girl read it directly: "Several eldest brothers of the thirty-sixth battalion are polite." Brother is a spy under the command of Baishui Zhu Ba Ge Ge , his surname is not worth mentioning, it is Zhang Sanli Si Wang Mazi and the like, although my Ba Ge Zhu has gone to Taihang Mountain, but my brother I was also ordered to stay here to find out the news, so as to welcome the eldest brother back to Shaanxi in the future, this time I heard that several big brothers from the 36th battalion entered Shaanxi, and my brother was really happy in my heart......

When the girl read this, she found that what she read was all nonsense, and she was also a little scared, afraid of being beaten by the rampant wolf, but fortunately, the rampant wolf waited for no anger, and waited patiently for the following, it turned out that when they heard the words "Baishui Zhuba", they were already sitting solemnly, and they didn't dare to hang up anymore, and they were thinking in their minds, is this really fake? Listen more, maybe you can hear between the lines, so the girl read the half-dead nonsense, and they were not angry, and they all seriously realized that the letter was not true.

The poor girl continued: "My brother has a message to serve, and I ask you to find out what you have to do...... Ladies and gentlemen, you have already fallen for the plan of the trilateral governor Hong Chengchou, the township warriors stationed in Huaxian County this time are actually not township warriors at all, they are elite officers and soldiers stationed in Xi'an...... Hong Chengchou's strategy is to use Huaxian County to drag you from the white spoon operation, and then send troops to quietly march to all directions of your department at night to surround and exterminate all of you......"

"What?" The rampant wolf, a bucket of valleys, jumped half a year high: "There is such a thing? ”

The King of Sweeping Ground and the King of Taiping also entered the room: "I see, we understand, we met those elite officers and soldiers in the middle of the night, they were surrounding us by night, and it happened that we also wanted to march by night to surround Huaxian, but we bumped into ...... on the road We've lost a lot of money......"

The more they thought about it, the more they felt that what this letter said was true, the thousand crossbowmen stationed in Huaxian County had indeed made them suffer enough, they were simply beaten all over their heads, and there was nothing they could do. No one is a chick, and it has been five or six years since he traveled to the north, and they still have a clear distinction between what is a township warrior and what is an officer and soldier.

At first, they didn't think about it, because the imperial court's approach was always very rigid, the government had to wear the official uniform of the government, and the county order had to wear the official uniform of the county order, and the officers and soldiers had to have mandarin duck jackets...... So they didn't dare to imagine that a group of people wearing cotton clothes were officers and soldiers who joined the association, and now they were reminded that it was Hong Chengchou's strategy, and they suddenly woke up in their heads, and the more they thought about it, the more they looked like it.

The faces of the leaders became very ugly, and they looked like they were about to enter, and the poor girl who read the letter trembled with her hands, and she could hardly read it anymore.

"What are you doing? Read it down to Grandpa. The rampaging wolf kicked her.

The girl hurriedly continued to read: "Brother saw that the 36th Battalion and our Huanglong Cottage were born from the same root, and risked their lives to write this letter, wanting to suggest a way out for the eldest brothers......"

When she read this, she only felt a pain in her shoulders, and the rampaging wolf pinched her shoulder bones with both hands: "Read the back...... What way? ”

The little girl's shoulders were in severe pain, but she didn't dare to struggle, so she could only endure it silently, two lines of tears flowed from the corners of her eyes, and she read in a bitter voice: "Now there are elite officers and soldiers lurking in Huaxian County, and there are also elite officers and soldiers in the north who are pretending to be Xiangyong in the circle, and there are officers and soldiers from Henan behind you, in this case, the only way out is Qinling...... Turning over the Qinling Mountains to the south, you can enter Hunan, Sichuan...... Hunan is the thoroughfare of nine provinces, extending in all directions, as long as you go there, the sea is wide and the sky is open for birds to fly, where can you go? As for Sichuan, there are many hills and mountains, a dense network of rivers, a suitable climate, and it is also a place suitable for the Righteous Army to fight in the movement, so why not go to Hunan and Sichuan? ”

When the little girl read this, she blinked her big teary eyes and did not continue to read.

The rampaging wolf said viciously: "What about the back? ”

"Back...... There's no ...... in the back."

"Oh? No ......" The rampaging wolf threw the little girl's shoulders away and walked back to the side of Yidou Valley and Man Xiaoxing, and the leaders all lowered their heads, carefully considering the path mentioned in the letter.

After thinking for a long time, King Taiping was the first to raise his head and said, "I'll see it!" ”

"it!" Yidougu said: "This letter writer is only a spy left here by Baishui Zhuba, how can you believe this kind of inexplicable letter?" "Ichitoya is the kind of person who is more courageous, and he has to try everything himself to believe it.,For this kind of inexplicable letter,,He's not very interested.。

"But it makes sense to go home." The courage of the Taiping King is relatively small, of course, it can also be said to be more cautious, he is the one who ran into Zhu Yuanzhang's troops in the dark and ran away, and he was the first to believe this letter at this time: "What is said in this letter is not like a lie at all, you brothers may wish to think about it carefully, are the thousand crossbowmen in Huaxian really like Xiangyong?" It was clearly disguised by elite officers and soldiers, and it was also a fact that I and the sweeper and I bumped into the officers and soldiers in the north in the middle of the night. The officers and soldiers in this letter are absolutely true, and I believe that this letter was really shot in by Zhu Ba's spies. ”

Several leaders groaned, but forgot the little girl in the tent, the little girl saw that she did not pay attention to her, so she quietly moved outward, and after a while, she actually moved to the door of the tent, and after a closer look, she still did not pay attention to her, she was happy in her heart, and hurriedly walked out.

There were guards outside the door: "Why did you get out?" ”

"Big Brother Rampant Wolf told me to go back to the tent by myself......" The little girl lied, the guard didn't believe it very much, he walked into the tent and wanted to report the incident, but as soon as he walked to the door of the tent, he was blasted out by a punch from the bucket valley inside: "We are talking about big things, don't bother us with some bad things, get out of the way......"

The guard retreated aggrievedly and waved his hand at the little girl: "Go back." ”

The little girl hurriedly ran to the camp of the rampaging wolf, and when she saw that there was no one around to pay attention to her, she deliberately slipped under her feet, and rolled into a pit dug between the two camps of the rampaging wolf and the man, clasped her hands on her knees, buried her head, and shrunk into a ball and never moved again. In normal times, it was useless for her to squat in the ditch like this, she would be found as soon as it was dawn, and then she would be dragged out and beaten to death or tortured, but after reading the letter, she guessed that the thief army was likely to leave the camp overnight, and this was her only chance to escape, so she shrunk into a very small ball and hid in the shadows of the ditch, hoping that the old man would have mercy and give her a chance to pick up a life.

The little girl was lucky, she hid in fear for an hour, and the big tent of the Chinese army sounded the roars of the sweeping king, the Taiping king, the full star, the bucket valley, and the rampaging wolf: "Come in, give orders...... Pull out the camp overnight, march south, let's go over the Qinling Mountains......"
