I finally figured out the opponent, but Lao Hui didn't have much smile on his face.

From the information obtained earlier, coupled with the accents of those soldiers, it is not difficult to judge that these people are the army transferred from Sichuan, but it is just a guess, and I don't know who is in command on the other side, and now it is confirmed, but it is not helpful to Lao Huihui, there is no intersection with this Lu Qianhu, and I don't know much about him, especially this Lu Qianhu also refused his bribe.

It's not simple, a small thousand households, there are so many cavalry and muskets under his hands.

Huoyazi said with a surprised face: "What? Just a small thousand households forced us to be so wolf? I thought it was at least a general soldier. ”

It's not shameful enough, is it? Lao Hui glared at the old man, then comforted Qiao San a few words, asked him to help him down to recuperate, and then let out a long sigh.

A small thousand households only have a few dozen taels a year, plus all kinds of oil and water, and deductions, it is estimated that there is an income of two or three hundred taels, three thousand taels a year, and he sent 100,000 taels at once, which is equivalent to the income of this small thousand households for decades, but this Lu Qianhu was not moved, and he did not give himself the opportunity to increase the price again, obviously wanting to use the head on his neck to get promoted and make a fortune.

On the battlefield, either you die or I die, there is nothing to say about this, and besides, I am ready to lose my head for a long time.

But Lao Hui Hui is unwilling, depressed, in the Righteous Army Lao Hui is a wise and brave character, in the fight against officers and soldiers have achieved a lot of victories, these victories also established Lao Hui Hui in the Righteous Army, but this time Lao Hui Hui felt that his IQ was not enough, since he was attacked and burned the military rations, he has been at a disadvantage, no matter how to move, the other party can calmly resolve, he has never bargained for half a penny.

Although there was no trace of officers and soldiers around, the old man felt it back. The cunning officers and soldiers hid in the shadows, waiting for an opportunity to give themselves a fatal blow.

"How much food do we have now?" Lao Huihui suddenly asked.

"No more than three days at most, and you have to save food." Huoyazi whispered: "Many people can't afford to eat, and a few days ago, someone dug up grass roots and gnawed tree bark. ”

Most of the grain was burned, and the remaining grain was consumed every day, no matter how much it was saved, and after entering the mountain, the officers and men attacked several times, and each time they lost a lot, and there were a large number of gold and silver goods in the old return. The day before yesterday, someone took two ingots of gold and bought a nest head from the Longying brothers.

One hundred taels of wowotou, or gold, can scare people to death when it is passed out, and you can see from here what the shortage of food is.

"Where are we now?"

He froze for a moment, and it was strange that Lao Huihui's thoughts jumped so fast, but he quickly said, "Big brother, this is Pankou Mountain." It's almost time to get to Wu'an. ”

It's almost time to arrive in Wu'an, and Lao Hui secretly breathed a sigh of relief, as long as he arrives in Wu'an, his situation will be much better. You can worship your brother Huang Jinliang, or you can borrow food from the righteous army you know, and you can think that you can solve this food crisis with your own connections and contacts. As long as you breathe this breath, the team will soon be able to grow bigger, and the Wu'an Mountain is complicated. It is the land of four wars, and there is plenty of room for detours.

As long as you find allies, it will not take much trouble to work together to eat the Sichuan army behind, provided that it is necessary to get rid of the pursuers behind as quickly as possible.

Lao Huihui nodded, his eyes began to roll up like lightning, and after a while, Lao Huihui spent all the guards around him, and when he was alone, he said: "Huoyazi, since we were attacked that night, we have lost everywhere, and we were beaten by the officers and soldiers to the point of dizziness. ”

With a "snap", he slapped his thigh with his teeth, and said with a deep disdain: "That's right, big brother, I have wanted to talk about this for a long time, but I can't find evidence for a while, do you think that no matter where we run to, what actions we have, the officers and soldiers don't seem to know the prophet, who else is not a careful work?" However, I secretly investigated for a long time, but I didn't find out which one was anti-bone, otherwise I would have killed him a long time ago. ”

You have a big temperament and want to find out the details? The old man was happy, but he didn't say it, so as not to dampen his brother's enthusiasm, just patted him on the shoulder and said, "Let's put the details of the matter for the time being, we have to think about the way back." ”

Huoyanzi's temperament is arrogant, but this does not mean that his IQ is low, as soon as he heard it, he knew that Lao Hui had a plan in his heart, and he couldn't help but ask in a low voice: "Big brother, what are we going to do?" ”

Lao Hui said with a resolute face: "When the interruption continues, it is time to withdraw." ”

Now there is no food in the team, and there are elite officers and soldiers secretly tailing behind, and they can't fight and fight, and they can't escape, and if they continue like this, they will have to be dragged to death, rather than being dragged to death, it is better to get out, as the saying goes, stay in the green mountains, don't be afraid of no firewood, as long as you keep your life, there will always be a comeback.

There is no need to ask, the withdrawal that Lao Hui said is to use those women, children, old and young as bait to attract the attention of officers and soldiers, and then lead his henchmen to leave quietly, that is, the method of the golden cicada to get out of its shell.

"Big brother, who are we going to take with us?" Huoyazi asked quietly.

"Now I haven't found out which of the officers and soldiers are meticulous work, if you take them with you, it will be a disaster," Lao Hui gritted his teeth and said: "Only those we can absolutely trust will be brought by us, and the others will be left to their own devices." ”

Chop the grass without removing the roots, the spring breeze blows and grows, one does not do two endlessly, simply abandon everything that can be discarded, anyway, there are not many rations in hand now, and I can't feed so many mouths.

"Understood, big brother." Huoyazi lost his previous arrogant personality, and said with a solemn face.

Lao Huihui still trusts Huoyazi who was born and died together, and when he heard this, he patted him on the shoulder, whispered a few words in his ear, Huoyazi nodded again and again, and soon, Huoyazi went out to act according to Lao Huihui's orders.

It's a pity that Lao Huihui's wishful thinking is loud, and the matter of withdrawing away has also been concealed from the meticulous work that infiltrated the team, but it has not been concealed from the elite scouts who are responsible for tracking and tailing on the periphery.

Lu Haoshan opened the information, and after reading it, he raised the intelligence report in his hand: "This old man can't hold his breath so soon, and he is ready to get out of the camp." ”

"My lord, is the old man going to run away?" Li Dingguo asked subconsciously.

"That's right" Lu Haoshan put the information on the table, and said with some playfulness: "The scout said that after a night of rest, the next day the team that traveled was less than 300 people, and most of them were Lao Huihui's henchmen, including the thief leader Lao Huihui, the important leader Huoyazi, Qiao San, Nie Zhenjiang and others were nowhere to be seen, and the news from the brothers who entered the team was that Lao Huihui wanted to leave the elite to fight an ambush, ambush the officers and soldiers behind him, and buy time for the team, but these people waited for the team to go away, but they quietly fled from the other direction after the team went away, It's kind of abandoning the car to protect the handsome. ”

Let his subordinates be bait, and escape quietly by himself, for these people who have returned to the old Huihui have long been accustomed to it, and usually accept some women and children, the old, the weak, the sick and the disabled, just for this moment.

"Husband and wife are birds of the same forest, and they fly separately when disaster comes, and husbands and wives are like this, let alone these rabble?" Tang Qiang said with some disapproval.

Zhao Gongchang sneered and said: "This old man is quite cunning, even the brothers we planted in the team have been deceived, but unfortunately there is a sentence called Skynet Restoration, negligence but not leakage, he didn't expect that our people are equipped with clairvoyance, as long as they stand on a high place, they know what they are doing, not to mention that there are more than 300 people at once, even if there is one less horse, we can feel it clearly, and we want to hide it from the world, it is really beyond our strength." ”

There is a detailed cooperation inside the inside, and there are elite scouts to monitor the outside, and the old people can't pull out if they want to.

Lu Haoshan sneered: "That's right, the purpose of our burning his food is to let his subordinates leave him, let his strength weaken step by step, and when the time comes, we will eat him in one bite, now it's okay, he himself is ready to escape with more than three hundred people, this is exactly what we want, we will eat him in one bite." ”

Originally, there were thousands of people, and Lu Haoshan had less than 700 people in his hands, although he could win, he was afraid of losing too much, so he used this method of "boiling frogs in warm water" to weaken him in every way, but now there are only more than 300 people, and it is time to eat him in one bite.

First, to avenge the fallen soldiers, and secondly, to go out of Sichuan to suppress bandits, it is also time to earn some credit for promotion.

Zhao Gongchang took the information and looked at it, frowned and said: "My lord, based on the information sent back by the brothers who infiltrated the inside, that old return only brought most of the food, and those gold and silver goods continued to advance with the brigade, if we went to encircle and suppress the old return and missed these gold and silver goods, it would be a pity." ”

For Zhao Gongchang, his favorite is the yellow and white things, he is a bit like a miser, counting gold and silver goods is one of his hobbies, which is also a reason why he did not go to Beijing with Yuan San that day, because Lu Haoshan gave him a stable environment, and there was enough generous remuneration, and now I heard Lu Haoshan say that the encirclement and suppression of the small part of the old man who was ready to flee returned, Zhao Gongchang immediately remembered the bag of gold and silver goods.

This is the cleverness of Lao Hui, he only took people and food away, and all the gold and silver goods were left in the team, so that everyone did not suspect that he was fleeing without permission, and was willing to become the bait for his golden cicada to get out of his shell.

I have to say that Lao Huihui is a character, so many goods, don't want it if you don't want it.

Lu Haoshan sneered and said: "Yes, why not, there is no money to do in these years, the old Hui Hui soldiers are divided into two roads, we can also be divided into two roads, there are only more than 300 people around the old Hui Hui, in order to paralyze us, there are only about 100 horses, the rest is on foot, we send 500 people to clean him up, and the rest of the brothers will continue to follow, and when the old Hui Hui is solved, then collect those gold and silver goods." ”

Money is not omnipotent, but no money is absolutely impossible, the old man returned to several provinces, I don't know how much gold and silver goods were robbed, this big fat sheep, Lu Haoshan will not let it go lightly. (To be continued......)
