Zhu Zhi was cautious and cautious, and this character made him manage to keep the main force of 10,000 Sun Ce's army.

Otherwise, under the front and back attacks of Zhang He and Huang Ran, I am afraid that even if I can save a life, most of the soldiers will be lost. However, the eight thousand elites who were ambushed in Lingshan and Purple Mountain were about to bury their bones elsewhere.

It's just that a wise man must make a mistake in a thousand thoughts, even if all the princes in the world know that Fang Yun has such an intelligence department, they don't expect where the intelligence officer of this intelligence department will appear.

The Han Soul Organization was established after Liu Hong ascended the throne and had existed for more than ten years before Fang Yun took over. Another secret unit was established by Zhang Jiao while he was preaching, and it was also established for more than ten years. These two teams have been further expanded in the hands of Fang Yun.

Fang Yun more or less knew the methods of forming some intelligence departments, one hammer in the east and one hammer in the west, but at least he fused the two organizations together, realized the complementarity of intelligence, and improved the interrogation, assassination, and investigation capabilities of the two organizations.

Sun Ce recruited troops in Danyang County, and in order to prevent people with intentions from getting in, he chose the children of good families as much as possible. But among the children of the An Zhiliang family, there are no members of the Han Soul Organization? How could Liu Hong not know the personalities of those families?

Many members of ambiguous organizations, in order to have the opportunity to blend in with the circle of the family, were arranged by him to bring a sum of money to settle down in the local area, or to improve their status by buying officials. Now ten years have passed, many of these members of the Han Soul Organization have become veritable good families in the local area, and their children have also been recruited into the army by Yuan Shu or Sun Ce.

That is to say, now in Sun Ce and Zhu Zhi's army, there are actually members of the Han Soul Organization.

Zhu Zhi intends to change course. used the means of stealing beams and changing pillars to avoid Zhang Hejun and returned to the Moling where Sun Cejun was stationed. Members of the organization after listening. Reacted promptly. However, Zhu Zhi governed the army strictly, and under normal circumstances, he could not easily leave the camp, and the members of the organization spent a lot of effort to quickly leave marks and notes on the way with the army.

The spies who followed Zhu Zhijun soon found the mark and took out the note, and only then did they realize the importance of this information. Don't dare to slack off. Immediately tied the note to the pigeon's feet and let it go.

It's just that this carrier pigeon didn't fly directly to Zhang He's side, but flew to the Hushu stronghold. The carrier pigeon has not yet appeared in this era, so it has become Fang Yun's unique communication method, but I am afraid that other forces will not be able to know about this technology.

The Hushu stronghold received the carrier pigeon, but Zhang He had already set off and had to hand over the note to Gao Ran, who stayed behind.

Gao Ran was ordered to stay behind, with only 5,000 cavalry and 3,000 foot soldiers under his command, and since the weapons of war were all pulled out, the soldiers under his command only had crossbows and standard weapons in their hands.

After receiving the information, he naturally realized it. If this force is returned to Sun Ce's command, then Sun Ce's strength will be strengthened. At the moment. This army is in its weakest state, and it will not be easy to miss this opportunity to eat!

Thinking of this, Gao Ran finally made up his mind, leaving 3,000 foot soldiers to hand over to the adjutant, and preparing with 5,000 cavalry. However, which way Zhu Zhi will go is also a question in itself, and it also needs follow-up information from the Han Soul Organization.

Two hours later, new information arrived, and a force of tens of thousands of people passed through the path, not our army!

Gao Ran originally thought that Zhu Zhi would not dare to go south secretly, but now his thoughts have been confirmed. If you want to be cautious, Gao Ran's caution is no less than Zhu Zhi, and he will not send troops easily without full certainty, after all, it will not benefit anyone.

The troops had already been prepared, and the map had been looked at more than once. Nowadays, the map of the Han Dynasty is compiled by the Han Soul Organization almost every year, and more and more complete maps of the territory of the Han Dynasty, as well as regional maps, are constantly summarized to prepare for the future national strategy.

To allow tens of thousands of people to bypass the lake, they can either take the main road or the small road. The terrain in this area is mountainous, if you take the mountain road or forest road, it will be a crime, and the speed is not fast, and if you don't do well, you will be caught up by the pursuers.

Zhu Zhi really didn't dare to take the big road, and Gao Yan, who had been preparing near the small road, quickly put into the layout.

On this way, he must pass through Fangshan, but the injuries are dangerous and not suitable for the army to run. If it is a foot soldier, then it is easy to say, at least you can use the mountain situation to smash Zhu Zhijun with stones or something on the mountain. It's a pity that he is a foot soldier, and it is not impossible to change to a foot soldier, but it is too wasteful, so the ambush location must be changed.

In the end, Gao Ran chose to ambush on the edge of Huaishui, there happened to be a forest near here, the forest path was quite wide, and the most important thing was that after Huaishui was Moling, at this time Zhu Zhi was afraid that he should relax his vigilance.

However, it is precisely because this place is close to Sun Ce's base camp that this battle must be quickly resolved in the end!

The Huaishui River of this era, that is, the Qinhuai River in later generations, flowed into the water from Moling to the south, and was an important and important transportation channel. Sun Ce was able to quickly return north from Wucheng, and this river made great contributions. Fortunately, there were no bridges wide enough on the river, only a few crossings or small bridges, which were not enough for the army to pass quickly.

Otherwise, I'm afraid that Gao Ran will have to choose another place to ambush, or give up this ambush.

At the same time, he also has a concern, that is, it is rumored that there is a general named Deng Xiong in Zhu Zhi's army. This Deng Xiong has the strength of a super-first-class general, and he is only a first-class general. If it's a head-on fight, I'm afraid it's a little troublesome. If nothing else, as long as you are dragged by him, then the situation is very bad.

Fortunately, Deng Xiong is only in his twenties now, and he can be reused mainly because he passed Sun Ce's martial arts examination and won the first place. Sun Ce personally took the school examination and made sure that his martial arts and art of war were not bad, which was the focus of training.

However, a young man in his twenties with a weak crown, no matter how clever the art of war is, is it up to him to be sophisticated? His value is in the future, and if he dies now, then he is just an unknown waste! At most, 'ever expected'!

Having made up his mind, Gao Ran ordered to go down, and the soldiers were ready to lay ambushes, and all the horses covered their mouths with cloth. For fear that they would be heard by Zhu Zhi and be vigilant. Even all the horse's legs were wrapped in cloth. This will make it possible to run without making too much noise.

Half an hour later. Sure enough, a force appeared on the horizon, and it was Zhu Zhibu.

They had already bypassed Hushu and were about to arrive at Moling, and the soldiers' originally somewhat decadent spirits finally cheered up a little, and their speed was a little faster. Zhu Zhi also knew the truth of the soldier's speed, so he let the soldier let go.

Otherwise, according to the normal pace of marching, it must be neither fast nor slow. Make sure your soldiers have enough strength to fight. Otherwise, in the process of moving, the enemy attacked, and the soldier was already half tired and half dead, where would he still have the strength to fight?

The spies found out and quickly reported it to Gao Ran. Gao Ran immediately gave an order, and the whole army mounted his horse, and immediately charged after listening to the order. Don't care about the other soldiers, the goal is to be under the handsome banner, and you must cut Zhu Zhi off the horse!

Five minutes later, Zhu Zhi's army began to approach Huaishui, and saw that the Moling was located on the opposite side. And some patrolling soldiers had already begun to discover them, and they immediately advanced with all their might.

But I don't want to. At this moment, there seemed to be a faint voice.

"Cavalry, be careful!" Zhu Zhi deserved to be a veteran, even if the horse's hooves were wrapped, he still heard through this regular rumble that this was a cavalry unit.

At least, Deng Xiong didn't hear it, after all, there was still too much shortage of horses in the south, and there were very few horse troops of more than 3,000 people.

Even under Sun Ce's command, there were only 5,000 horsemen, and they were all single-handed. The horse trade was controlled by Fang Yun, and only a few smuggled merchants' goods could be transported to the south every year, and less than 500 of them could reach the south of the Great River, and 300 of them were still horses.

In fact, what Sun Ce didn't know was that almost all of these smuggling merchants were in Fang Yun's name, and they just didn't make money for nothing. Two hundred war horses this year, two hundred next year is meaningless, how many next year can one force have next year?

Zhu Zhi shouted quickly, but Gao Ran and they ran just as fast, the other party had not yet assembled, and the army had already slaughtered from the rear. But when he was about to kill the rear army, he turned his horse's head and went around to the side, and then killed him fiercely towards the place where the handsome flag was.

Zhu Zhi understood in an instant that their target was himself......

"General, go away, I'll resist!" Deng Xiong immediately led his cronies to kill him.

"Be careful, don't be reckless!" Deng Xiong had already gone away, and Zhu Zhi had no choice but to quickly retreat with his headquarters. It's not that he's afraid of death, but it's that there is no point in staying at this moment, and Deng Xiong is dead in vain.

There is already a ferry at the ferry to meet you, but it is not easy to get on the boat. In normal times, a pontoon bridge will be built in an emergency, but now Zhu Zhi suddenly returned south without notifying the defenders, so there is no way to build a pontoon bridge.

Seeing this, Gao Ran's side immediately sped up his horse speed and rushed forward.

"Will the thief dare to fight a certain battle?" Deng Xiong came over with a spear.

"Nobody, get out of the way!" Gao Ran shouted loudly and killed the past regardless of it.

How could Deng Xiong let him get his wish, and immediately rushed towards him, but he didn't want to think that before he could make a move, more than thirty crossbows beckoned towards him, and he found that this cavalry unit, each of them was equipped with a crossbow in his hand.

Fortunately, the armor on his body was quite strong, and he was able to block it, but the horse was not so lucky, and he was shot directly. Deng Xiong was overturned to the ground like this, and before he could get up, he was directly galloped by ten thousand horses.

If it is one or two horses, it is easy to say, more than 5,000 running war horses, each war horse still has a horseshoe under its feet, and when the smoke passes, Deng Xiong does not know how many feet have been trampled on. The mighty armor has been completely deformed, his face has been completely trampled by the horse's hooves, and he has not entered the innate realm and has no aura to protect his body, Deng Xiong has become the most aggrieved general who has died since the end of the Han Dynasty.

"Zhu Zhi, take your life!" Seeing that Zhu Zhi was in front of him, Gao Ran quickly killed him.

"Who dare?" With a loud shout, something burst into the air.

One of the cronies quickly stopped Gao Ran, but also paid with his life for it. Gao Ran only found out at this time, but it was an arrow that came over, and the archer was none other than Sun Ce, who killed him single-handedly.

"Kill!" Sun Ce, who can shoot arrows, is indeed a threat, the two sides are separated by a river, and he can actually shoot through the armor to kill his own soldiers, this guy's archery is indeed a threat.

Fortunately, as the headquarters tilted a round of crossbow arrows towards Zhu Zhi's place for the first time, Zhu Zhi also had to be shot off his horse. Seeing that the goal had been achieved, Gao Ran immediately commanded his cavalry, rushed back and forth in the middle of the army, and then left...... (To be continued......)

PS: Zhu Zhi still couldn't escape death in the end, but it was cheaper to sit in the rear.
