In this action, He Lingchuan realized that he had nothing to say to others, so he sent him, a reckless and upright person, over.

Of course, it is also because Jiao Tai has the best ability to identify and locate in the wild, if Dad is determined to fight, there is such a reliable person who can lead the way.

At this time, Elder Liang from the Cloud Piercing Pavilion also came and sat down to listen.

When Jiao Tai said that the remnants of the Xunzhou rangers were hiding in the abandoned mine, and they had gunpowder on their own, and they found the back door of the mine, He Chunhua couldn't help but say "Okay" in a loud voice, and stood up with a slap on the table: "Do you still recognize the way to the mine?" ”

"Naturally!"

He Chunhua can finally make a decision: "You come to lead the way, let's set off immediately!" ”

When he said this, he felt really comfortable in his heart, and turned to Elder Liang and said, "Here in Xinhuang, I want to ask Elder Liang." ”

"Well said." Elder Liang gestured, and the disciples around him translated, "Piercing Cloud Pavilion is willing to do its best." ”

At that moment, He Chunhua immediately ordered the whole army to be reassembled.

Two quarters of an hour later, He Chunhua personally led a team of 1,200 people out of Xinhuang and went straight to the abandoned mine pit in Bailu Town.

……

Abandoned mines.

Hong Chengluo was eating, a mouthful of yellow rice buns, a mouthful of hot water, gobbling it up.

The yellow rice bun is not delicate, a little dry and a little choking. But Hong Chengluo ate it very sweetly, this is the best steamed bun he has eaten in the past two months.

The yellow rice swells up with hot water, giving people a feeling of fullness.

There was also half a yellow roasted pheasant on the table.

Although the chicken feathers were not all plucked clean, and the chicken skin was still a little scorched, the soldiers who were temporarily acting as gangsters had done their best.

Hong Chengluo didn't touch the roast chicken, but picked it up and sent it to Bailiqing's ward.

The general fell asleep.

The leader was escorted by the side, and when he saw Hong Chengluo coming in, he had to stand up.

Hong Chengluo waved his hand: "You don't need to see outside, how about General Baili?" ”

"He's recovering well, and should be able to wake up soon."

Hong Chengluo put the roast chicken on the table: "When General Baili wakes up, give him hot food." ”

"Okay."

He gave up his quota, but the generals felt that he wanted to win the hearts of the people, and they didn't even say a "yes".

Originally, this one was promoted by Bailiqing.

At this moment, the sound of running sounded outside, and a soldier rushed over panting: "General Hong......!" ”

Hong Chengluo waved his hand to stop him, and walked out of the house to the open space: "Come and say, don't wake up General Baili." ”

Seeing that there was an abnormality here, the generals also gathered around.

"A large number of Xiazhou troops appeared at the foot of the mountain, nine hundred or thousands of people, as if searching the mountain, roughly coming here!"

When everyone heard this, their scalps immediately went numb.

Sure enough, the Xiazhou army still tracked down?

Coincidentally, the spies they sent to Bailu Town for the second time actually came back at this time, reporting that the first spy died in Hong Chengluo's empty house! And according to the feedback from the people in the town, there were indeed people from Xiazhou Mansion who came to inquire about last night's information.

Hong Chengluo's worries were finally confirmed.

The two generals looked at Hong Chengluo for the first time, and there were two points of regret in their hearts.

If you evacuate in the afternoon......

Everyone was waiting for Hong Chenglue's decision. His face was solemn, and he immediately decided: "Xu Yingxian, Tao Ze, you follow me to lead away the Xiazhou army!" ”

Then he turned to the other two generals: "You stay behind and take care of General Baili and the wounded brothers." If we can't stop it, you will retreat to Xinqiao Township. ”

The Lord will give the order in danger, and the two will immediately receive the order.

The soldiers all had some admiration in their hearts.

Fortunately, the Xunzhou rangers have developed the habit of waiting for the enemy, ready to get up and kill the enemy at any time, and they will saddle their horses and prepare for the attack without half an hour.

So Hong Chengluo left another 50 people to guard the abandoned mine, and he hurriedly set off with 2780 people.

Ran out of more than 200 feet, and there was no trace of the enemy.

Then go forward two or three hundred feet along the mountain road, but there is still no trace of the enemy.

It wasn't until the procession was almost at the foot of the hill that another sentry hurried in:

It was reported that the Xiazhou army had turned northward.

What's in the north? No one knows.

So, if the Xiazhou army is no longer coming...... The soldier looked at Hong Chengluo, but saw him beckon Tao Ze to come over and whisper a few words, and then ordered thirty people to him.

The team of thirty men went to the rear.

What now?

I saw Hong Chengluo wave his hand: "Pass my order, the whole army will go east and go to Xinhuang Town!" ”

The soldiers were shocked.

What?

Hong Cheng glanced at Sen Ran: "Don't give the order yet?" ”

Someone even asked stupidly: "Do you want to send the news back to the mine?" ”

Xu Yingxian pulled him: "The lord will order, let's do things, don't make extraneous branches!" ”

The cavalry of nearly 300 men immediately marched eastward, neither returning to the pit nor delivering a word of return.

Seeing that Hong Chengluo was in the lead and there was no one around, Wu Qing rode his horse and rode alongside him, so he asked, "General Hong did it intentionally?" ”

Hong Chengluo didn't raise his eyelids: "What? ”

"You've avoided the shortest route to Xinhuang Town." Wu Qing does business in Yuanbei and also understands the local road conditions, "We have to walk for half an hour longer." ”

"But safe."

Wu Qing was taken aback, thought for a while, and said, "You mean, someone occupies that route?" Be...... Xiazhou Army? ”

This is the boundary of Xiazhou, and of course the army under the management of He is in a hurry, unlike them, who have to sneak around.

Hong Cheng glanced at him: "Boss Wu is a smart person, and you should be invited to be a staff member in the New Year's Praise Ceremony." ”

"No, I'm lazy and unrestrained by nature."

"The spy is gone, I think he's been caught, so we need to be prepared for the leak of the hideout. The safest way was to change places, but General Baili's two subordinates did not agree. ”

"If I were He Chunhua, once I knew that the people of Xunzhou were hiding in the abandoned mine pits in Bailu Town, most of them would send troops to suppress them." Hong Cheng said slowly, "This person has a good name, and he came to Xiazhou to seek a fame and promotion." I burned him 10,000 stones of grain and grass, and it was difficult for him to explain when he went to the front line, and it was even more difficult to explain when he went back to the state capital, and he would feel disgraced. ”

"You also know the situation here in Xiazhou, it has been controlled by the four major families for many years, He Chunhua finally gained a firm foothold here by relying on two victories, if he goes back like this time, his prestige will be at least halved, will it be so easy to control the military and government in the future?"

Wu Qing smiled: "Yes, I'm afraid that when the time comes, the four major families will be able to stumble and break a leg for him." ”

"Besides, even if he doesn't come to us now, maybe we'll have to stop his grain convoy later, and the rocky beach north of Xinhuang is very suitable for ambushes. Therefore, he is bound to fail the merits, and if he finds out our whereabouts, he must not let go of this opportunity. Hong Chengluo grabbed the reins and sat idle, but his tone was murderous, "I will fulfill him." ”

Wu Qing smiled slightly. General Hong used Bai Liqing and his two generals, as well as nearly 100 old, weak, sick and disabled people as bait! When He Chunhua led the army to swallow the bait, the rear must be empty, and General Hong hurried to burn Xinhuang's grain and grass!

The Xiazhou army injured so many Xunzhou cavalry, thinking that these would become a burden for Hong Chenglue, but they didn't expect that in the end, they would become bait for them to fish out of themselves.

However, General Hong treated Bailiqing and his two subordinate generals really harshly.

After Wu Qing conveyed the military order of the New Year's salute, it was also very clear that Bailiqing was originally in charge of the Xunzhou rangers, but now he suddenly parachuted a Hong Chengluo and took away his command. Bai Liqing was not angry, and he didn't deal with Hong Chengluo very well these days.

On the other hand, He Chunhua got rid of these disobedient leaders, the old, the weak, the sick and the disabled for him, and then he took over the Xunzhou Rangers - an army can only listen to one voice.

Wu Qing originally thought that Hong Chengluo would use some gentle methods, but it seemed that he didn't have that patience.

……

He Lingchuan slept soundly, and someone patted him on the shoulder:

"Da Shao, wake up!"

He Lingchuan shook his head and rubbed his eyes: "What?" "I didn't dream of Panlong City, I was bored.

"There's a movement down there." Mao Tao said in a low voice, "It seems that there are people mobilizing." "Da Shao is also a good sleeper, take a roll of clothes as a pillow, and lie on the ground to sleep until snoring, this sleep quality is very good.

He didn't know that He Lingchuan was a patrol guard in the Panlong Dream Realm, and he was used to eating and sleeping in the open.

"Transfers?" He Lingchuan suddenly sobered up, "How many people?" ”

"Their horses were originally in the forest, but now they are basically brought back to saddle."

Where is this going? He Lingchuan's eyes rolled, could it be that Hong Chengluo was going out to loot supplies?

He should have saved enough food to defeat Wu Shaoyi, and he would not worry about it in the short term, and even had a surplus to distribute to the people of Bailu Town; Do you want to rob medicines?

It doesn't take so many people.

Could it be?

Shan Youjun whispered, "Should these guys be withdrawn?" ”

"Possibly." He Lingchuan thought for a moment, "After all, the spies they sent to Bailu Town never returned. Perhaps the surname Hong is so cautious. ”

The three of them made up their minds to follow.

However, the next operation of the Xunzhou people, He Lingchuan is a little confused:

The main force mounted their horses and set off in a hurry.

But the soldiers around the pit were not removed, and Mao Tao went to reconnoiter again, saying that there were still people down there.

There's a lot left behind.

Aren't they going to evacuate and camp elsewhere?

But where are the more than 200 Xunzhou cavalry that spewed out?

The three of them quietly retreated, led their horses and secretly followed.

The main force of the Xunzhou people went down the mountain first, as if they had gone around in half a circle, and they didn't know what they wanted to do.

The sky is getting late, the mountains and forests are getting darker and darker, and it is becoming more and more difficult for Mao Tao to investigate the traces of the former army, such as hoof prints and horse manure.

He Lingchuan habitually held the "floating life", and the coldness from the handle of the knife helped to think.

At this moment, he suddenly felt that a great crisis had come.

He Lingchuan's ears moved, as if he heard the sound of suppressed breathing in the silent mountains, and there was more than one person!

He couldn't help but let out a low voice: "Be careful! ”

As soon as the words came out, an arrow from outside the sky shot at Mao Tao with a "whoosh".
