Chapter 328: Peeling Back the Cocoon (Medium)
It is not known why Huang Yi, the leader of the Zhuti rebels, was so "concerned" about Zhululing. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Yu Buzhi didn't dwell too much on this issue.
No matter where he came from, as soon as the war started, everyone was in a state of hostility. It's good to know the reason, but it's okay not to know, anyway, in Yu Buzhi's heart, Huang Yi has been labeled: enemy.
Xu Shu continued: "The second force: Wuling Kou. ”
"Wulingkou dispatched 2,000 people, only a quarter of the number of Zhuti's rebels, but it is already almost all of their manpower, judging from the timing of their retreat, Wulingkou is also going all out this time."
"Wuling Kou went to this troubled water, the reason is very clear, for the sake of commission."
"This is not the first time Wu Lingkou has dealt with us, the previous uncle escorted his mother over, and the pursuer was Wu Lingkou, but I didn't expect that after so long, they still haven't given up the commission. This time, Wulingkou infiltrated Yizhou from Jingzhou, lurked in Ba County for many days, and waited for the rebels to break through the central defense line, and then attacked us from two directions at the same time, with a meticulous plan and a clear division of labor. ”
"The wounded soldier who was captured confirmed that after the failure of the last operation, his leader intended to suspend the commission, but the employer showed sincerity, not only agreeing to increase the commission's honorarium, but also generously paying the pension of the soldiers who died in the previous operation, just to let the Wulingkou continue to complete the commission. The leader of Wulingkou could not refuse, so this operation took place. ”
"The reason why Wu Lingkou participated in this operation was because someone invited him."
"If it weren't for the fact that I heard that the Yinan rebels would go all out, the two thousand people in Wulingkou would not have the courage to come and pull out their teeth again. In this operation, Wu Lingkou was just a pawn. The subordinates believed that after this fiasco, it was unlikely that Wuling Kou would compete with the deer leader again. ”
"Regarding Wulingkou, there are the following questions that need to be paid attention to."
"1. Food. The prisoners of war confessed that in order to wait for the rebels to arrive, Wulingkou lurked in the mountains and forests of Dianjiang for 7 days, and when they entered the territory of Ba County, they only had about 3 days of rations left, which was not enough for them to stay for that long. In order to avoid startling the snake, Wu Lingkou did not dare to loot nearby, and his subordinates were puzzled, why did they survive for so long? ”
Yu Buzhi's eyes lit up, and he said, "Yuan Zhi suspects that there is an accomplice? ”
"Exactly!"
Xu Shu looked serious and said: "Since before Wang Ping arrived, Wulingkou had a plan to take the initiative to retreat, as soon as Wang Ping appeared, they immediately retreated, taking almost all the members with them, and there were only six Wulingkou captured by us, and they were injured by the legion technique and it was difficult to escape." These six captured Wulingkou were all low-level personnel, and they almost didn't know anything about the important information of the thieves group. ”
"Regarding the food problem, they only know that on the second night of entering the Dianjiang Realm, the chief asked a henchman to take a few hundred people out and return with a large amount of grain before dawn. The captives did not participate in the operation, and they did not care where they got the food, and they were good if they had food......"
Xu Shu sighed, a little helpless.
The fish is unwise and his face sinks like water: "The people who go out to carry grain, are there any damages?" ”
Xu Shu quickly said, "No." ”
"Someone has received grain and grass from Wuling Kou, there is no doubt about it."
"My subordinates think so too."
Xu Shu picked up a brush from the table, dipped it in some ink, walked to the map of Ba County hanging on the wall of the lord's office, marked a point in a certain place, and then drew a big circle with that point as the center of the circle, pointing to that point and saying: "This is the mountain forest where Wuling Kou is hiding, more than 50 miles away from Zhulu Ling, and the area enclosed is the approximate range of grain taken by his subordinates according to the round-trip time of Wuling Kou's grain." ”
Yu Buzhi stood in front of the map and looked at it for a moment, shook his head and said, "The person who answered may not be in this range." ”
"This is also what subordinates are most worried about."
Xu Shu sighed: "Change places, if we do this, we will not let the Liukou go directly to the territory to get grain, the safer way is to transport the grain to a secret place in advance, and then notify the Liukou to go there to get it." However, the scope of suspicion is very large, and it is difficult to trace the person who provided the food. ”
Yu Buzhi said: "No matter how difficult it is, you have to investigate." Although Wulingkou is famous, it is only a group of foreign thieves, with our current strength, it is difficult for them to take advantage, and it is even more dangerous to take advantage of Wulingkou. They may not be complicit, just providing food for some reason, but they are not excluded as participants in the operation, in case they are the masterminds. There is such a force on the side of the couch that it is difficult to reassure...... Let's start with the nearest range. ”
"Yes."
Xu Shu promised and continued to state.
"2. Employers. Wulingkou is just a knife, taking people's money and eliminating disasters for others, there are many such knives, and only by finding out the person holding the knife can we prescribe the right medicine and solve the trouble once and for all. ”
"It's a pity that the status of the captives is too low, and there is too little valuable information to ask for anything no matter how hard they are tortured. One of the captives was made ruthlessly, and confessed that he had heard that the employer was from Jingzhou, and that he had a lot of influence in Jingzhou, and that the leader of Wulingkou did not suspend the commission, and he was also afraid of the other party's forces. ”
"We tried to follow down the trail but couldn't dig any deeper."
"Actually, the authenticity of this information is doubtful, and it is possible that the prisoners of war were tortured but talked nonsense."
"No matter where the employer comes from or what his identity is, he can hire Wu Lingkou and make a generous move, and the funds are obviously very strong; After more than three years, he has not given up the commission, which shows that the attitude is very resolute and worthy of vigilance; If it is really as powerful as the prisoners of war confessed...... Lord, this is not a small trouble. ”
Yu Buzhi smiled bitterly: "Rich, determined, and powerful, Yuan Zhi, why don't we run away quickly?" ”
Xu Shu's face was originally solemn, and when he heard Yu Buzhi say this, he couldn't help but laugh dumbly.
Running away is naturally a joke.
In this case, I am still in the mood to make such a joke, which shows that the fish is not wise and has a good mentality, and there is no chaos. Being able to withstand pressure and talk and laugh at critical moments is not something that everyone can do.
"The subordinates plan to send some Mo Wei to Wuling to investigate and see if they can find out the employer along the way."
"Yuan Zhi arranges it."
"3. The content of the commission. Judging from Wu Lingkou's two successive actions, the direct target is clear, and it is likely that he is coming at his subordinate mother. For this reason, the subordinates asked their mother to recall it carefully, and they also looked for Shu Zhi and the martial artist Yunqing who went to pick up people last time, but they still did not recall anything suspicious. ”
"When my mother learned that Wulingkou might have come for her, she was very guilty and intended to return to her hometown in Yingchuan......"
"No, you can't."
Yu Buzhi said categorically: "The other party's intentions are not clear, there is no reason to mess around, if the other party comes for the aunt, the aunt can't go." Here, at least there is a territory to protect her, back to Yingchuan's hometown, in case the other party follows the trail, who can protect the safety of her aunt? ”
Xu Shu was in a complicated mood, both guilty and moved.
Xu Shu is a famous filial son, and his mother's safety is more important than his own life, as the lord said, if the other party's target is indeed his mother, it is very risky to leave the Zhulu Territory. But if you continue to stay here, it seems that the territory may be dragged down again.
Yu Buzhi knew Xu Shu's tangled mood at this time, and he was worried about it, so he needed to help him make up his mind at this time: "Yuan Zhi, if the leader of the deer can't even protect the family of the commander in the army, he is also worthy of being called the first city in the world?" You can be relieved, no matter who the other person is, you can face it together. ”
Xu Shu didn't say a word, and took a deep look.
