Chapter Thirty-Five: The Sword Fingers the Rocks
"Yes, General!"
Jiang Tian's arrangement was proper and thorough, Situ Fei did not raise any objections, and immediately received the order and carried it out.
Although everyone knows that this time the troops are chaotic and the risks are not small, this is related to Chu Hongyu's life and death, and no one is embarrassed to speak out.
"Let's go!"
After a while, all the affairs were arranged, and Situ gave an order to lead the team to the northwest, while Jiang Tian and Jiang Yi, Du Liwen and others were in the rear.
"Jiang Yi, Liwen, pick out the key points of the situation of the rocks."
During the march, Jiang Tian said to Du Liwen and Jiang Yi.
Jiang Tian intended to train Du Lifang to be the staff officer of the Blackstone Army, while Jiang Yi would succeed Situ Fei and become his personal commander, so the two often followed him.
Du Liwen glanced at Jiang Yi, and seeing that Jiang Yi didn't mean to speak, he said to Jiang Tian: "General, the situation of the rocks is like this......
"There are more than 30 bandit caves, scattered all over the central area, several thieves frequently change their nests, and the strongholds of the army are also adjusted from time to time, so it is difficult for outsiders to find out the truth and the truth."
"There are four in the early stage of the generals, three in the middle of the generals, and the one with the highest cultivation is the thief leader Nie Yuan......"
"There are more than 2,300 people of all kinds, more than 1,600 bandits with combat effectiveness, and about 500 well-equipped bandits."
After picking out the key points, Du Liwen analyzed: "General, Liwen thinks that the terrain is complex, like a natural labyrinth, and there are many mechanisms inside, which is extremely unfavorable to our attack......"
Jiang Tian had already considered this, but he did not interrupt and continued to listen to Du Liwen's analysis.
Du Liwen analyzed: "Liwen believes that we should not enter lightly, we must first send an elite team to infiltrate, capture the opponent's sentry, force out the position where Commander Chu is trapped, find out the truth, and then attack with the momentum of thunder to rescue Commander Chu in one fell swoop." ”
"Not bad."
Jiang Tian couldn't help but show appreciation, Du Liwen is indeed extraordinary, he is a staff officer, and in time, he may be a wise general.
At this time, there is a rocky swing in a cave.
"That bearded boy has captured the commander of the convoy, and will be back in half an hour?"
Hearing the announcement, Nie Yuan looked overjoyed, and praised Liao Wukui repeatedly: "Third child, you kid is good, this time it's really like you guessed, you caught a big fish!" ”
After Li Biao came, Liao Wukui offered advice to Nie Yuan, not to confront the escort team head-on, but to burn, kill, and plunder along the trade route to lure the escort team to the bait.
This time, they not only sent Ma Huzi, but also sent Hu Dashi, and the trap laid by the elite led by Hu Dashi was only more than 20 miles away from Ma Huzi.
If it wasn't for Chu Hongyu's tactics that were too sharp at that time, most likely he would have been led into the encirclement by Ma Huzi.
However, they are very satisfied with the results so far.
Liu Hucheng came to them for the purpose of interfering with the development of Black Rock City.
The first time they traded, they caught Chu Hongyu, not only did they have the bargaining chips to elbow Jiang Tian, but the confidence in the trade of the entire Black Rock City was also greatly damaged, and the next trade would definitely drop in scale.
The rocks are on the edge of the boundary of Black Rock City, and they know the situation in Black Rock City very well.
They knew very well that although under Jiang Tian's new policy, the livelihood of the people in Black Rock City had a tendency to prosper, as long as trade was severely frustrated, it would be like water without a source, and it would soon be unsustainable, and it would regress to the situation before Jiang Tian became the master, or even worse.
Because in the past, most of the trade was organized by families and forces, and they had some collusion with them, they would not do too much, and Black Rock City could still guarantee basic supplies.
Now they naturally won't give Jiang Tian any chance, they will definitely block it completely, do everything possible to cut off the supply of Black Rock City, and meet Liu Hucheng's conditions.
Nie Yuan was far from being as rough as he appeared, and after being excited, he slowly calmed down, and asked Liao Wumei in a deep voice: "Third child, what do you think about this?" ”
"In my opinion......"
Liao Wumei obviously still deliberated, paused for a long time, and then said slowly: "This matter has hit them very hard, and I heard that the arrested person is a little girl, and he will definitely not give up, and most of them will attack immediately." ”
Speaking of this, Liao Wukui's tone became urgent: "Boss, let's change places now......
"Tell everyone to withdraw, stay over tonight first, do the little lady who was caught, and give them a note of Ma Wei."
"Did you do that little girl|?"
Hearing Liao Wumei's words, Nie Yuan's eyes flashed with a hint of lewdness.
They can't see the light, except for going out to loot, they are nested in the rocks all year round.
The women in the swing are all village women snatched from villages everywhere, all of them work hard all year round, with a frosty face, how can there be any posture at all, how can they compare to the "little ladies" from the royal capital?
"Boss, hehe, isn't it ......"
Below, Bao Yue, one of the four beams, looked anxious, rubbing his hands and smiling at Nie Yuan.
"Okay, okay, don't give Lao Tzu this dog-like look, Lao Tzu has a good time, can you still lose your brothers?"
Being disturbed by Bao Yue, Nie Yuan waved his hand unhappily, and said loudly: "The brothers have heard it, and if you give the order, you will do what the third master said, and ask the people below to change the hole immediately and withdraw all the people......
"The second master and the beard are back, and they are asked to send people to Tianji Cave."
"Yes, uncle!"
The people below knew that the situation was urgent, and they didn't dare to linger for a moment, so they ran to run to do something.
Chaotic Stone Swing was less than a hundred miles away from Black Stone City, Jiang Tian and his party were worried about Chu Hongyu's safety, so they rushed to the periphery of Chaotic Stone Dang at full speed.
After finding a hidden valley to hide, Jiang Tian summoned several backbone generals into the tent to discuss the tactics of attacking Chaoshidang.
Asking Du Liwen to explain his views to everyone, Jiang Tian asked everyone: "Everyone, do you have different opinions?" ”
"General......
Seeing that the others did not speak, Wang Zhiwu, the commander of the original relatives, pondered again and again, and said cautiously: "As far as his subordinates know, Nie Yuan, the leader of the stone thieves, is vulgar on the surface, but he is actually extremely treacherous......
"The third cabinet Liao Wukui is even more bad, and most of them are wary of us."
"Go on."
Seeing that everyone was staring at Wang Zhiwu with unkind faces, Jiang Tian encouraged.
Although he is also ashamed of Wang Zhiwu, after all, this person has been in Blackstone City for many years, and he knows the local situation better than any of them.
The reason why Wang Zhiwu thought about it again and again was that he was afraid that he would be disliked by everyone, and when he saw Jiang Tian supporting him, he couldn't help but show gratitude.
He continued: "They are extremely wary, and they will definitely change the cave temporarily when they expect us to come, for fear that they will not be able to find out which cave they are in for a while. ”
"Since you don't think my plan works, what do you say?"
Although Du Liwen is very smart, after all, he is young and vigorous, and when he saw Wang Zhiwu denying his plan, he was very unhappy and asked in an unkind tone.
"There is no perfect way to do it......"
Wang Zhiwu complained bitterly in his heart, but he didn't dare to say nonsense, so he could only say honestly: "When the former garrison took office, he also planned to suppress bandits, and he conducted in-depth investigations on bandits in many places such as Ranshidang, so he still understands the situation of Chaotic Rock......
Seeing that no one interrupted, Wang Zhiwu breathed a sigh of relief and continued to explain: "More than ten years ago, a pair of brothers surnamed Lu who were in charge of the arrangement of the Ranshidang organ rebelled against the Ranshidang ......"
