Fifty miles away from Ganzhou.

Lin Bei ordered to set up camp and sent a deputy general to take a thousand battalions to Ganzhou as a vanguard.

There are scouts along the way, and special fireworks are used as signals to deliver messages during the day.

After the deputy general took people away, Lin Bei and Fang Jue stood on a high place, overlooking the direction of Ganzhou.

"Young Master, Ganzhou is in trouble, we should go straight to Ganzhou, why stop?"

Lin Bei was a little puzzled: "Even if the other party may besiege the city and send reinforcements, we are at least three times as large as Luo Hao, and there will be no danger in going in this direction." ”

In a head-to-head duel, equipment, the number of soldiers, and the quality of soldiers are enough to determine the outcome of a battle.

The Yulin army of 8,000 people is well-equipped and light cavalry.

Occupying a favorable geographical position, Lin Bei thought that it was impossible to lose.

"General Lin, why do you think Luo Hao deliberately left a horseshoe print leading to Ganzhou yesterday."

Fang Jue shook his head, thinking a lot, he even felt that the main force of the Northern Liang Army was no longer in the Ganzhou area at this moment.

Ganzhou and Datong, which are important towns comparable to Liangzhou, as long as there are no internal moles, it is difficult to conquer in a short time.

For the Northern Liang Army, which was bent on looting, there was no need to attack.

If they must attack, it means that they have to move seriously and want to expand their territory...... Or they are hiding their true actions.

Qi Di!

Fang Jue still suspected that the target of the Northern Liang Army this time was the batch of grain that was handed over to the King of Qi.

In terms of time, when the King of Qi arrived in Qi, the Beiliang army began to make trouble, and now the batch of grain seeds has not had time to be planted.

"There are many border passes, why does he think he can pass through this northeast Qidi?"

The army is overwhelmed, and it will only fall into a tug-of-war.

If the goal of the Northern Liang Army is new grains, how can they obtain them?

And more importantly, can you bring it back to Beiliang?

Taking out the map and observing for a while, Fang Jue pointed to the land of Qilu and groaned:

"Backed by the East China Sea...... Is it by water? ”

Fang Jue looked at Ye Hongyi: "Hongyi, do you know from the Hanging Sword Division, is there a ship leading to Beiliang in Donghai Port?" ”

"Nope." Ye Hongyi shook his head.

She said: "If you go to Beiliang, the port is also the ferry terminal in the northwest, and you need to pass through the waters of the East China Sea Country to go to the East China Sea...... After a big circle, at least a few months, it will be possible to return to the territory of Beiliang. ”

In such a world, it should not be ......

Wait a minute?

"Young Master, what did you find?" Lin Bei looked dazed, although the map was fine, he couldn't see the strategy from the map at all.

Fang Jue said: "Wait for your lieutenant to come back and see what the situation is in Ganzhou." ”

……

Before noon, the adjutant general brought people back.

"The last general left scouts along the way, and only brought back three hundred men."

More than 700 cavalry, temporarily used as scouts, this lineup is not luxurious.

If there is a border war, the scouts sent by both sides will add up to tens of thousands.

"Well done." Fang Jue said.

The adjutant general smiled shyly and hehe.

Fang Jue asked, "What is the situation in Ganzhou?" ”

As the young master expected, the Beiliang army surrounded the north and seemed to be attacking, but it did not launch a large-scale siege...... Just some rangers, harassed from time to time. ”

"The soldiers of the Ganzhou battalion are a little tired, and they don't know when the Beiliang army will attack."

After the deputy general finished speaking, Lin Bei didn't need Fang Jue's explanation, and he knew what Bei Liangjun meant.

"They didn't really want to take Ganzhou?"

Fang Jue nodded: "Ganzhou is easy to defend and difficult to attack, the city wall is also high, it has not been lost for decades, as long as the Northern Liang Army does not want to have a national war, it will not rashly attack with all its might." ”

"They should want to surround but not fight, attract troops from the north, for their other purposes."

Lin Bei also said: "But young master, if there is really no one to rescue Ganzhou, I am afraid that Luo Yang will not mind really capturing Beiliang." ”

"Hmm."

It's natural.

"Yang Mou?" Ye Hongyi also understood.

The true intentions of the Beiliang Army cannot be seen for the time being, but it is impossible to do this in vain by encircling the important town of Ganzhou.

First, it can block the rescue of the Ganzhou battalion and the northern hinterland.

In addition, Ganzhou threatened the northern provinces and had to rescue Ganzhou.

If there is no rescue, after a long time, the Ganzhou battalion will inevitably be tired, and it will be even more difficult to end up if it is captured.

There is already a Northern Liang army in Suzhou, and if they get Ganzhou, they will completely isolate Liangzhou, and Liangzhou will become their bag.

And if they rescue Ganzhou, the Northern Liang Army can withdraw at any time, and the Liangzhou battalion behind them will not be able to protect themselves, but there is no way to sneak attack them.

"Luo Hao's thousands of light horses, can you see them?" Fang Jue asked.

The adjutant general shook his head: "I saw a lot of horseshoe prints, but I couldn't find anyone." ”

"They should want to wander around this area, stop our reinforcements, and the various departments to send grain and grass to the Ganzhou battalion." Lin Bei frowned, feeling tricky.

Surround but not fight, the most important thing is to be able to consume the other party.

Ganzhou has plenty of grain and grass, but once it is surrounded and there is a lack of fresh food, it can not support it for too long.

"Young Master...... Do we want to support Ganzhou? The adjutant asked with a blank eye.

Fang Jue shook his head: "Since they plan to attack slightly, then we will let them surround them." ”

"Cross the river to the north by detour, go straight to Liangzhou, and after uniting the Liangzhou battalion, we will have enough troops...... At that time, the Beiliang army outside Ganzhou will be attacked from behind. ”

As soon as Fang Jue finished speaking, Ye Hongyi asked: "If the Northern Liang Army learns of our whereabouts and immediately goes to attack Liangzhou, we will not be able to rescue." ”

"Ganzhou has not been captured, Luoyang dares to attack Liangzhou?"

Lin Bei said with a smile: "The troops of Lizhou and Datong are not weak. ”

……

On the sixth day of departure, the Yulin Army arrived at Beidu He Junyi.

It was another day of rapid marching, resting at the Beidu River, and crossing the river tomorrow and going straight to Liangzhou.

Unexpectedly, I bumped into an acquaintance here.

"I've seen the young master." Lu Xin smiled and greeted him at the post station.

The figures of Bai Qing and Qin Mengyao also made Ye Hongyi a little surprised.

"Your Majesty has decreed so soon?" Ye Hongyi was surprised.

Lu Xin arched his hand: "Lord Ye." ”

After a bit of politeness, everyone entered the post station.

After eating, drinking, and replenishing, Fang Jue went back to the post house to prepare to rest.

"Young Master......" Lu Xin quietly knocked on the door.

"Come in."

As soon as Lu Xin entered the door, he saw Dian Yi and Ye Hongyi standing beside Fang Jue, and the two of them looked at him vigilantly.

"Commander Lu, please take a seat, I don't know what is important when I came late at night?" Fang Jue was a little tired.

Lu Xin said: "Young Master, we arrested He An and detained him in the stone prison under the post station......

"Your Majesty's will, you actually want you to arrest He An?" Fang Jue was also a little surprised.

I thought it would only be a precaution, but I didn't expect the emperor to be really decisive and take it directly.

This is trusting me...... Fang Jue sighed in his heart.

Strictly speaking, there is actually some irregularity.

However, the emperor could have been condemned, outside the judiciary, and on top...... It's just that this kind of power, the emperor can't abuse it.

"Your Majesty means to let me send He An back to the capital to ask for the guilt, but now on the way back to Beijing, the people of the Hanging Sword Division have discovered the rangers of the Northern Liang Army...... had to be temporarily shelved in this Beidu Station. ”

Lu Xin told everyone that in the past few days, the rangers of the Northern Liang Army have circled to the southwest of Ganzhou and the southeast of the Beidu River.

"Then tell me why?" Fang Jue looked at him with a smile.

Lu Xin scratched his head and said honestly: "Then He An is not honest, he has been trying to kill himself in every way for the past two days, I am afraid that I really can't control him...... When the time comes, I am afraid that the He family will accuse me of killing him, and then the general will be speechless. ”

"With Miss Qin here, are you still afraid of this?" Ye Hongyi wondered.

For Qin Mengchi's ability, Ye Hongyi has some understanding.

The job is first-class, and the take-out pharmacology is excellent, although it is not as good as the doctor, but it is also better than most old doctors.

For such a person, it's easy to get some medicine, right?

Fang Jue looked at him deeply: "What is General Lu going to do?" ”

"Young Master, the last general means that I want you to be a witness...... Let the Hanging Sword Division interrogate him here, first get his handwritten confession, and then find some evidence and witnesses......"

Although Lu Xin scolded He An happily, he was really afraid that he would die.

The two have a grudge, once He An dies, Yu Shitai will definitely participate in Lu Xin.

There is no need to doubt that Qin Shiyi can definitely do it.

At that time, Lu Xin will have to be investigated...... He may not be able to withstand deep investigation, especially when there is a family behind the scenes.

"But His Majesty's decree doesn't mean that." Ye Hongyi frowned, looked at Lu Xin, and felt that he was a little bold.

The emperor's will was to send He An back intact and then be tried reasonably by the three legal divisions of the capital, instead of lynching here.

"Commander Lu, I am only a supervisor of the army, not a special envoy, and I have no right to personally interrogate the generals above the fourth rank of the imperial court."

Fang Jue shook his head: "You still look at He An." ”
