At sunset, the entire northwest land was covered with gold, the sky was golden, and the air was filled with a sense of depression, as if the mountain rain was about to come and the wind was full of buildings.

Against the backdrop of the sunset, a cavalry of 1,000 men galloped from west to east, and wherever the iron hooves trampled it, it would be dusty and skyrocketing. However, for all this momentum, this cavalry did not care, and continued to gallop in a muffled voice, and everyone's body exuded a fierce meaning, sharp and sharp, giving people a sense of oppression.

At this time, for some unknown reason, the leader of the team who was galloping at the front suddenly stopped, and with a wave of his hand, the cavalry behind him stopped galloping, followed by a series of neighing horses, and various whistles to appease the war horses.

"You guys wait here now, I'll go to the hillside over there, the boss should be there."

The leader of the team gave a loud command, and then drove the horse, slowly approaching the hill a hundred meters away, and even ripped off the face towel that covered the wind and sand, and his dark face was exposed, it was not Liu Fangliang, who else could it be?

Deep in the hills, surrounded by woods and grass, a relatively flat clearing, a large number of people hidden in the dense grass, Li Zicheng was among them, it was Li Jiajun. However, whether it was Li Zicheng or ordinary soldiers, they did not wear the unique uniform of Li Jiajun, but like Wu Ruyi and Liu Fangliang and others at the beginning, they were all dressed up in the rebel army.

At this moment, Liu Fangliang was standing opposite Li Zicheng, reporting the results of his and Wu Ruyi's battle in Qianyanchi Fort, as well as He Renlong's escape. After finishing speaking, Liu Fangliang's face was full of guilt, waiting for Li Zicheng's reprimand.

However, to his surprise, Li Zicheng's expression was very calm, without a trace of anger, and he groaned slightly, but asked, "Hmm... When the madman escaped, did he know your true identity? ”

"I don't know." Although I don't know why Li Zicheng asked like this, Liu Fangliang still answered honestly. In order to increase his convincingness, he added: "We had very short contact with He Renlong, and almost as soon as we entered the city, He Renlong found out that he had been ambushed, and then he fought. From beginning to end, except for Ruyi's welcome at the beginning, there was basically no contact. ”

"Moreover, from He Renlong's arrival at the east gate of Qianyanchi Fort to his embarrassment, all the battles are over, and the brothers near the east gate are either wearing the uniforms of the officers and soldiers, or they are not muddy with the clothes of those people, in such a short period of time, there should be no mistakes."

Hearing this, Li Zicheng showed a look of satisfaction and nodded: "Yes, even if He Renlong's eyes are fierce and there is no contact, it will be impossible to find the clues in it for a while when he arrives at Qianyanchi Fort." ”

After a pause, as if he had thought of something interesting, Li Zicheng showed a wicked smile: "Hehe... In this case, it doesn't matter if He Renlong runs away, but it will fulfill us. In this way, whether it is attacking the Dry Salt Pond Fort or the Hairadhu Fort, we can push the two things to the body that does not stick to the mud, we just need to make a fortune in silence and hide in the dark to watch them eat dogs. ”

After this, Liu Fangliang suddenly realized that he understood Wu Ruyi's reaction at that time, and when he heard that He was running away, he was very calm and not in a hurry, as if he didn't take the boss's blame to heart.

After figuring out the key crux of it, Liu Fangliang couldn't help but echo: "Haha... Boss, in this way, after this incident, whether it is the governor Yang He or the governor of Yansui Hong Chengchou, they will not let go of the mud, and they have to hate him. Moreover, if he is not muddy, he is active in the area of Qingyang Mansion and Pingliang Mansion, even if he jumps into the Yellow River, he will not be able to wash it, and he will definitely be encircled and suppressed by Yang He and Hong Chengchou..."

"Okay, let's not talk about this, let you get the uniforms of the officers and soldiers of the Xi'an Prefecture battalion, have you brought them? How's things going? Li Zicheng interrupted Liu Fangliang with a wave of his hand and suddenly asked.

"Brought.... Still, Boss..."

Seeing Liu Fangliang's reply, Li Zicheng couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, and asked in a deep voice: "Didn't you almost annihilate He Renlong's cavalry?" In this case, it should not be difficult to get seven or eight hundred sets of official and military clothes from the Xi'an Prefecture battalion. ”

Although Li Zicheng said calmly, Liu Fangliang knew that the boss was angry, and of course he could understand that according to the planned arrangement, these 800 sets of official and military clothes of the Xi'an Prefecture Battalion were a key part of it. If it goes well, it can reduce the casualties of many brothers, and it can be easy to get those Khairathug.

Thinking of this, Liu Fangliang hurriedly said: "Boss, it's like this, the clothes are obtained, there are about more than 900 sets." However, six or seven out of ten of them were damaged and stained with a lot of blood. Complete, without a little damage to the Xi'an Prefecture camp clothes, there are only about 200 sets. It is difficult, almost impossible, to deceive the eyes and ears of the garrison of Fort Hairadul. ”

Hearing this, Li Zicheng's expression was obviously much better, and he secretly exhaled: "More than nine hundred sets? Two hundred or so complete? Well... If that's the case, it's okay, but you need to postpone the time of the action, and you should be able to move on to the next step as scheduled. If there are no accidents, it should be as planned, and it should be able to take the Fort of Hairadus. ”

Hearing these words, Liu Fangliang's heart was relieved, and while secretly rejoicing, he was even more stunned, and asked suspiciously: "When to postpone the action?" Still going according to plan? But, Boss, if there are holes in those clothes, you can cover them up. However, some clothes are not only very damaged, but also stained with a lot of blood, as long as you pay a little attention, you can still find out what is wrong. ”

Li Zicheng's thick eyebrows twitched slightly, and then said lightly: "It's okay." The operation was scheduled until after dark, and when it was time for the operation, the brothers in badly damaged and bloodstained official uniforms were the last, and the two hundred men were arranged to the front, taking advantage of the cover of night, and for a while, the defenders of Hairadhubao should not find anything. ”

"But, boss..."Liu Fangliang seemed to think about something, but when he spit out four words, he was interrupted again by Li Zicheng, who looked even more impatient.

"It's nothing good, I didn't plan to let these nine hundred people enter the Fort of Hairadhu, but I just took control of a city gate, and the plan was a success."

Speaking of which, Liu Fangliang understood everything, and thought about it, disguised as reinforcements from the Xi'an Prefecture battalion, he didn't necessarily have to enter the city in order to respond. Just control one of the gates, and the whole of Khairatus is at your fingertips.

Thinking of this, Liu Fangliang didn't say anything more, and began to carry out a series of orders from Li Zicheng to prepare for the next attack on Hairadu Fort.

A few days later, somewhere in the wilderness on the border between Qingyang and Pingliang Provinces, a large number of rebel troops were entrenched here, and it was the troops of Zhang Cunmeng who did not touch the mud.

At this moment, in a certain camp tent in the camp, Zhang Cunmeng sat there angrily and shouted angrily: "Made, Yang He's old thief and Hong Chengchou can't eat the cannon?" I can't get along with Lao Tzu! It's been two days, and I'm chasing Lao Tzu running around, and I can't stop at all, and I'm crazy about encircling and suppressing us! ”

After a lot of grumbling and abuse, Zhang Cunmeng suppressed the anger in his chest, turned his head to look at the person on the right, and asked impatiently, "Have you checked it out?" What happened to make Yang He and Hong Chengchou target us, like two mad dogs, just bite and not let go? ”

"Leader Qiqi, I just found out the approximation, and I haven't figured out the specific details yet." Immediately, one of them stood up and replied quickly, looking very worried and uneasy.

"What's the matter? What to say, how much to say. Zhang Cunmeng held his breath in his heart, and he was on the verge of an outbreak, urging very dissatisfied.

"Chief, it's like this, as one of the main sources of military salaries in Shaanxi, Hairadu Fort and Qianyanchi Fort were robbed. Tens of thousands of quintals of stored salt and new salt, as well as hundreds of thousands of taels of silver, were swept away. The garrisons in both places were either killed or captured, and the contents were swept away, now two empty cities. ”
