After entering Yuezhou on Jiangnan West Road, what he saw along the road surprised Gao Chibang.

Although the Spring Festival is approaching, but passing by the villages and towns, not many people are seen, and there is no New Year's celebration on the faces of the farmers.

Gao Chibang, who has been fighting for a long time, naturally understands what kind of situation has occurred here.

Gao Chibang's requirements for soldiers are stricter, and it is not allowed to harass the people along the way, even if it is cold and freezing, when the soldiers are resting, they are also set up tents, and they are not allowed to enter the houses where the farmers have fled.

Strict military regulations, so that the army did not commit any offense, not only that, seeing the extremely difficult farmers, the army also gave a certain amount of help, in the best of their ability, gave some food, it should be said that the army is not particularly rich, in order to act quickly, did not carry too much grain and grass, the subsequent delivery of grain and grass, it will take about a month.

Gao Chibang hopes to be able to fight with Huangchao's army as soon as possible, so that he can obtain some supplies of grain and grass, if he completely relies on the grain and grass transported from the rear, it will greatly limit the speed of the army's march.

All these measures made the people along the way no longer afraid of this army, and slowly, the people who followed behind the army increased, most of these people were young and strong, maybe they thought that they could join this army, at least they could eat well, not starve to death, and not be afraid every day.

The marching speed of the Iron Blood Army was very fast, and the 10,000 soldiers led by Gao Chibang were all cavalry, and it was almost impossible for the people to keep up with them on their legs, but two days passed. There are always some people who move quickly, who can follow behind the army, and the scouts have already scouted around, and there is no army in this area, which makes Gao Chibang feel strange.

Of course, these people who followed were able to get some food every day when the army was eating, so that they would not go hungry.

Finally, when it was dark on this day, the soldiers around him came to report that they were among the people who had followed. Someone asked to see the marshal, saying that there was something important to report.

Gao Chibang thought for a while, after entering Yuezhou, it should not be far from Huangchao's army, but the scouts just didn't find any trace of Huangchao's army, after all, there were only 10,000 soldiers under Gao Chibang's command, and the other 10,000 soldiers, under the leadership of Huang Biao, had already gone towards Qianzhou, which was close to Lingnan Road. With this 10,000-strong army, thinking of starting a decisive battle with the more than 100,000 troops under the command of Huang Chao is a bit too arrogant, Gao Chibang will not do this. Besides, Li Rupei has repeatedly reminded us to be cautious, and the first guarantee is that the iron-blooded army will not be able to suffer major losses.

In this case, intelligence work is very important. Scattered along the dark lines of Gangnam Province, it is impossible to provide particularly accurate information once the conquest begins. It is still necessary to rely on the scouts to obtain accurate information, but unfortunately, a few days have passed, and the scouts have not detected any situation in the Yellow Nest army at all.

This made Gao Chibang feel anxious, he used various ways to break through, first of all, it will not completely touch the army under the command of Huang Chao, on the basis of grasping the movement of the Huang Chao army, take the way of knocking kraft candy, part by part of the extermination, in order to hit Huang Chao's confidence, so that the sergeants under the command of Huang Chao feel fear, in the situation of anxiety, Huang Chao's combat effectiveness will naturally be greatly weakened, maybe the way to flee to Lingnan Road, so that Huang Biao, who is waiting in the Qianzhou area, will be able to exert his strength at a critical moment.

Battles are all gambling, Gao Chibang and Huang Biao led only 20,000 troops, it is impossible to disperse too much, their plan is discussed in detail, if Huang Chao after being hit, retreat in the direction of Jiangnan Dongdao, or go straight to attack Suzhou, then their deployment will be deviated, this is also no way, Gao Chibang can not be surrounded on all sides, mainly because the troops are not enough.

The contradiction must exist, Huang Chao is used to fighting in a hurry, to deal with such an opponent, you can only be faster than him, if you use the method of encircling on all sides, you need to dispatch nearly 100,000 troops, the action must be slow, and when Huang Chao jumps out of the encirclement from somewhere, then all the efforts are in vain.

When the two people were brought to Gao Chibang, they had a look of fear and eagerness on their faces.

Gao Chibang had a smile on his face, he didn't have much hope, these are just ordinary people, it is impossible to know a lot of things, maybe he wants to be able to enter the ranks of the iron-blooded army, but under the current situation, Gao Chibang will not agree, after all, the soldiers under his command have undergone rigorous training, ordinary people enter the army, it is difficult to adapt in a short period of time, and this mobile combat needs to act quickly, if the people are absorbed into the army, it will definitely become a burden, Such a stupid thing will not be done by Gao Chibang.

"Big, big general, small, small is Li Si, this is the brother of so-and-so Li San......"

The young man who spoke was a little nervous, and he stammered, probably shocked by the momentum exuded by Gao Chibang.

Gao Chibang smiled and spoke.

"Don't be nervous, you guys have something to do, just say it."

Although the young man named Li Si was still a little nervous, he didn't stutter when he spoke, and he began to speak slowly.

Gao Chibang's expression quickly became serious, he never imagined that this Li San could tell such important information, it was actually the specific location of the Huangchao army, and the activity route during this time, how could an ordinary person know such important information.

After Li Si finished speaking, Gao Chibang spoke with a serious expression.

"Li San, Li Si, how did you know such important information, how did you know that a certain person was going to attack Huangchao."

At this time, Li San opened his mouth to speak, after all, he was older and spoke a lot more organized.

"General, Huang Chao is looting everywhere, the neighbors can't survive, there is no way, the small ones resist, this is also to live, the general is the general of the imperial court, he must be here to exterminate Huang Chao......"

Thinking of the situation he saw along the way, Gao Chibang nodded, it is true, if he can't survive, even a cowardly farmer will rise up to resist.

Gao Chibang immediately called the scout and asked Li San and Li Si to tell in detail, and according to the two of them, the scout began to draw a map, marking the location of the Huangchao army on the map.

Speaking of the back, Li San once again emphasized that there are hundreds of people like him, these people are familiar with the local terrain, confront the army of Huangchao, seize the opportunity, and kill those soldiers who have fallen behind, and these hundreds of people are currently active in Yuezhou, Hongzhou and Raozhou.

Gao Chibang almost thought that he had heard it wrong, there were hundreds of people, and they were active in Yuezhou, Jiangzhou, Hongzhou and Raozhou, you must know that these four places are very large, and it is nothing for hundreds of people to put them in, and it is not a simple matter for these people to contact each other on weekdays.

If he hadn't been cornered, who would have done such a thing.

"Li San, Li Si, I want you to become a soldier of the Iron Army, I don't know if you are willing."

Li San and Li Si immediately knelt down, they followed the army hard, just thinking about being able to become a sergeant, not to mention that they were the army of the imperial court, and they looked unusual.

"Very good, I want to give you a task, that is, to find a way to gather the hundred or so people you mentioned, so that they can all join the army, of course, it is difficult to complete the task with just the two of you, and a certain Hui'an will not cooperate with you, from today onwards, you will try to provide detailed information."

After the pro-soldiers around him took Li San and Li Si to the scout camp, Gao Chibang immediately arranged for the pro-soldiers around him and quickly notified Huang Biao, who was going to Qianzhou, to approach in the direction of Hongzhou and not wait.

The information provided by Li San and Li Si, the scouts need to start reconnaissance immediately, such a targeted move, twice the result with half the effort, once the scouts grasp the specific movements of the Huangchao army, it is time for Gao Chibang to make a move.

After arranging everything, Gao Chibang was very excited, originally looking at the faint fighter plane, instantly appeared in front of him, which made him unable to suppress his emotions, he could not imagine that Huang Chao's atrocities in Yuezhou, Hongzhou and Raozhou and other places, triggered the people's resistance, these people were unwilling to join Huang Chao's army, chose to resist, but he met these people again, can fully grasp the information, this is not God's favor.

After calming down a little, Gao Chibang began to write to Li Rupei to report, he had a different idea in his heart, if the information provided by Li San and Li Si and others was completely accurate, then it would be possible to increase the number of troops, and after accurately grasping the whereabouts of Huang Chao, gather enough troops, and it would become very realistic and urgent to pay for the army under Huang Chao.

Scout investigation does not take too long, at most within ten days, and in these ten days, Gao Chibang needs to do a lot of things, all of which need to be approved by Li Rupei.

Thinking that Li Rupei led the army to conquer in Huainan Province, Gao Chibang couldn't suppress his excitement, once the iron-blooded army won a decisive victory in Huainan Province, then the army he led could successfully exterminate the Huangchao, and the south would basically be calmed down, and at that time, Li Rupei and the iron-blooded army would completely control the south, and a bigger action would be launched.

Gao Chibang knows that he is creating history by following Li Rupei, and his name will also be recorded in history, which is not just a simple matter of honoring the ancestors. (To be continued......)
