Chapter 47 Hefei
When Wang Chong returned to the Yuan army camp with the jade seal of the country, the battle had basically come to an end.
Under the strong suppression of the Jinfan cavalry, most of the soldiers and soldiers of Yuan gave up resistance, but because the number of Jinfan was too small, most of them were run away, and only about 1,000 prisoners were finally captured.
"How? Caught up? Seeing Wang Chong returning, Liu Ye stepped forward and asked in a low voice.
Wang Chong lifted the package in his hand and said with a smile: "Of course." ”
"By the way, what about Xu Xuan?"
Wang Chong secretly made a throat-slitting gesture.
Liu Ye's face changed: "What? Leader you...... You killed him? ”
Wang Chong explained: "Don't worry, everything is dealt with, there will be no problems." ”
"It's fine!" Liu Ye sighed lightly and asked, "Chief, what should you do with the rest of the people?" ”
"Who are they?"
"Yuan Shu's wife and daughter and eldest son Yuan Yao are here, but the son-in-law Huang Yi disappeared when the chaos happened, and it is estimated that he has fled in the chaos."
"Huang Yi? It's just a little person, don't pay attention to it, as for Yuan Shu's small family, maybe it will come in handy in the future, so let's keep it for the time being. ”
"No." Liu Ye nodded, "What about these Yuan Army prisoners?" If we bring them back to the mouth of the Whiskers like this, we may be exposed to our whereabouts and detected by Liu Xun and Zheng Bao. ”
If it was just Jinfan's cavalry, Wang Chong would have been able to take them back to Misukou overnight, but if there were a thousand soldiers as a burden, I am afraid that by dawn, they might not be able to cross Chaohu.
"That's a big hassle." Wang Chong frowned and pondered for a while, then said, "Ziyang, does anyone here recognize you?" ”
Liu Ye said with a solemn face: "Ye has met with the Yuan family a few times in Shouchun before, but in fact, after the leader left, Yuan Yao had already discovered my identity. ”
"Is it in the tent that you open your mouth to question my boy?"
"That's him."
Wang Chong's eyes flashed with murderous intent, and then he shook his head helplessly: "Forget it, find out, I believe that there are many people in the entire Huainan who know you, maybe in the group of escaped Yuan Jun rout, someone has already recognized you, so block it, it should not be able to be blocked." ”
Liu Ye lowered his head a little ashamedly, you must know that Jinfan's operation needs to be secret enough, otherwise once Liu Xun knows that Wang Chong has taken away the jade seal of the country, the consequences will be very serious, Wang Chong did not agree to accompany him before, but he insisted on following, and now there is a problem, so that he doesn't know how to deal with himself for a while.
Seeing that Liu Ye was silent, Wang Chong thought about it and smiled: "Ziyang doesn't have to blame himself, in fact, sometimes if you change your thinking a little, maybe a bad thing will become a good thing?" ”
Liu Ye was shocked: "Oh? What did the leader think of to deal with it? ”
Wang Chong smiled mysteriously: "Anyway, not many people know that you are my Jinfan's person yet, so as long as you don't return to the mouth for the time being, you shouldn't be able to implicate us, right?" ”
Liu Ye was puzzled: "Don't go back to the mouth? So where should Ye go? ”
"Hefei!" Wang Chong's eyes lit up: "Ziyang, if I hand over Yuan Shujiaxiao and three hundred cavalry to you, how sure are you to take Hefei?" ”
Liu Ye exclaimed when he heard this: "The leader wants to take Hefei City!?" ”
Wang Chong nodded: "If you control Hefei City in the name of the Yuan family, I believe Liu Xun and Zheng Bao won't be able to pick out any thorns, right?" ”
Wang Chong's previous focus had always been on the heirloom jade seal, but now that he thought about it, he found that with such an important chip as Yuan Shu's small family in hand, the help to Jin Fan was even greater than that of the heirloom jade seal, after all, the heirloom jade seal could make him the nominal lord of Huainan at most, but with Yuan Shu's small family and Liu Ye's prestige in Huainan, it was enough for him to firmly control Jiujiang County in his own hands.
Liu Ye hesitated for a moment and expressed his worries: "Chief, will this stall be too big all of a sudden?" ”
Wang Chong shook his head: "Support the bold, starve the cowardly, Yuan Shu dies, Lujiang is fine, and there is such a character as Liu Xun in the town, but Jiujiang has become a pot of porridge, this is a godsend, I Jinfan will not take it at this time, when will I wait?" ”
Liu Ye is not an indecisive person, at this time, seeing that Wang Chong has made up his mind, and he himself analyzed it, and also felt that this matter is promising, he immediately nodded and admitted: "That's good, with Yuan Shujia in hand, it is enough to easily open the gate of Hefei City, and then Ye will subdivide and win over the generals in the city, and within ten days, he will be able to firmly hold Hefei City in his hands." ”
"Well, it's good that Ziyang has this confidence." Wang Chong paused as he spoke, and reminded: "In addition, there are two points that Yang needs to pay attention to, first, we must be optimistic about Yuan Shu's family, they are the key to our smooth control of Hefei; Second, I didn't hand over the 300 cavalry to you as a decoration, and sometimes, you might as well be tougher, you must know that blindly being gentle will only make those little ones more unscrupulous. ”
Liu Ye said solemnly: "Rest assured, the leader has already remembered!" ”
"Very good, Boyun is steady, I will leave him to assist you, as for Ziquan, he will go to Xudu with me."
Wang Shuang is too young, although he is more mature than his peers, but his personality is frizzy and his temper is not very good, Wang Chong was worried that it would be bad to hand him over to Liu Ye, so he left Li Tao.
Li Tao's martial arts are average, and he is not even as good as Wang Shuang, who is born with divine power, but he is very calm, his emotional intelligence is also very high, and he is a rare general.
The two set a strategy, and Wang Chong found Li Tao to explain to Wang Shuang, and by the way, Wang Shuang temporarily handed over the cavalry battalion to Li Tao.
It was night, and no one stayed in the Yuan army camp.
First of all, Wang Chong changed into a Confucian costume, dressed himself as a scholar, brought the jade seal of the country, and led Wang Shuang and several guards to ride in the carriage in the direction of Xudu.
In order to keep a low profile, Wang Chong did not bring Baiyun Ma with him on this trip, because the latter's divine horse was too eye-catching, and Wang Chong was very worried that it would cause unnecessary trouble to himself on the way.
As for Liu Ye and Li Tao, they also rushed to Hefei City overnight with Yuan Shujia Xiao and a thousand soldiers.
Liu Ye was nervous and excited, because he knew that the time to really test his ability had finally come.
Now Liu Ye's available soldiers are only 300 cavalry, and the garrison soldiers in Hefei plus 1,000 soldiers, the number has exceeded 3,000, even if he has Yuan Shujia as a bargaining chip, every step he takes next, must be step by step, cautious everywhere, if there is a mistake in the middle, his own safety is secondary, if he loses the only 300 cavalry in Jinfan, he doesn't know how to explain to Wang Chong.
