Chapter 223: Rushing to Shangling County

Shao Xi asked Cui Qi to open the map of the private army stationed in Nanshan that Lu Ju had drawn before, and pointed to the four camps that had been marked on it and made detailed arrangements.

"In order not to attract attention, they deliberately stationed 2,000 people in various places, and if they train in the mountains on weekdays, they must carry weapons with them, but in the absence of large-scale operations, the armor should be in storage. According to the preliminary calculation of 1,500 soldiers and horses in each county, 1,000 soldiers and horses can be transferred from each county to encircle and suppress, and another 500 men and horses can be transferred to carry out interspersed division and encirclement, so that the enemy troops in these four places cannot echo each other and eat them separately. When the time comes, I will go with Lao Wu to find their arsenal and stop the people they send to raise the armor. ”

Sun Jue said with some embarrassment: "Five hundred soldiers and horses everywhere, we only use a thousand people in each place, I am afraid that it will be difficult to wipe them out, and there will be many fish that have slipped through the net at that time, how should we deal with these chaotic troops who have escaped?" You can't just let them get away, can you? ”

Shao Xi unconsciously pressed his thumb against his chin, frowning and thinking for a moment.

"Eliminate as many as you can, and if you can't eliminate them, they are only allowed to flee north, and don't let them slip through in the other three directions anyway. The four-way soldiers and horses drove all the people who missed the net to the north, until they rushed to Yujiang City, and when the time came, Mo Zhaohui and Pan Sheng led troops out of the city to intercept them, and completely wiped out the remnants of the escaped army under Yujiang City. Of course, it is impossible to do it without leaks, but it is possible to leak as little as possible. ”

After listening to Shao Xi's arrangement, a few people felt that there was no big problem, the four counties combined with seven or eight thousand soldiers and horses, there should be no problem to exterminate these two thousand elites, and ants gnawing elephants would bite elephants to death, not to mention that these two thousand are also people.

"Since the soldiers are divided into four routes, so Lord Sun, you'd better prepare some more heralds for me, the news between the soldiers and horses of the four counties must be transmitted constantly, and the middle cannot be broken, and every command must be conveyed to the soldiers and horses of all walks of life as soon as possible."

"Your Excellency, rest assured, I will arrange for you twenty of the most capable heralds at that time."

"Well, then arrange it like this first, I will rush to Shangling County and Wuyang County to transfer troops, and you should also hurry up and prepare! Remember to keep a low profile and never let the Zhao family find out before we take action. ”

Several people arched their hands at Shao Xi and said in unison: "The lower official has received the order, please rest assured." ”

Later, Shao Xi asked Lu Ju to draw three more copies of the map of the private army stationed in Nanshan overnight, and then pass it to the commanders of the soldiers and horses of each road through the heralds, so as to facilitate the deployment of soldiers and horses.

After everything was arranged, Shao Xi didn't dare to delay any longer, and after instructing Cui Qi to keep the evidence of the Zhao family's crimes, he rushed back to the city wall, still returning to the outside of the city in the same way as he came in, and after identifying the direction, he pulled his legs and ran in the direction of Shangling County, the time was urgent, and he couldn't be delayed.

This trip to borrow troops, Shao Xi can only rely on his "Qingpingdu", which has just achieved a small success, to gallop all the way, he must complete the secondment of the soldiers and horses of the two counties before dawn, so that the two counties can barely get to the designated place before dusk. The soldiers and horses of the three counties must be deployed before dark, so that they can start encircling and suppressing the private army hidden in the southern mountains after nightfall.

Just when Shao Xi and Cui Qi and others discussed the encirclement and suppression of the Nanshan private army, they rushed all the way to Shangling County and Wuyang County, and Zhao Huajun in the Yujiangcheng County Guard Mansion was also anxiously waiting for news.

The man who had been sent out had been gone for nearly an hour, and it was close to midnight and there was still no one to report the news, which made him feel mad. Whether it's success or failure, someone should always come back and report a message, why hasn't there been any news for so long? Isn't that anomalous?

In order to avoid suspicion, and in order to shirk responsibility in case of an accident in the future, Zhao Huajun arranged for Gao Cang to handle the whole matter, and Gao Cang invited him from outside.

A master at the peak of the third grade, with four assistants to kill a powerless civil official, is not a problem at all, so at this time, Zhao Huajun is walking around the mansion is waiting for Gao Cang's return.

But Zhao Huajun has no news from the left and right, and this hanging heart can't be put down, this feeling is too uncomfortable.

After waiting for a while, Zhao Huajun couldn't bear it anymore, so he asked someone to go to Gao Cang to ask how things were going?

It didn't take long for Gao Cang to hurry to the county guard's mansion, and as soon as he saw Zhao Huajun, he asked eagerly, "How is it?" Any news? The few people you found have been gone for an hour, but there is news coming back, have you succeeded? ”

Gao Cang shook his head helplessly, and said with some frustration: "There is no news, I am also waiting for news, but after so long, I am afraid that I have encountered some trouble, but no matter what trouble I encounter, someone should always come back to report a message!" Now there is no news at all, and it is really difficult to judge. ”

"Are the people you got back reliable? It can't be that you ran away with your silver taels, right? There are a lot of people who don't do anything after taking money! You can't get to the bottom of it? ”

"You can rest assured that they all have rules, and if they don't do anything with the money, they won't be able to do this business again in the future, so this kind of thing basically won't happen. Besides, Gao Guang used him when we eliminated the president of the Yujiang City Chamber of Commerce, this person is still very reliable, and there will be no problems. ”

Zhao Huajun snorted lightly and said: "This matter is not trivial, we are going to move the people of the 'Jing Chengsi', if something goes wrong in this matter, don't say that I can't save your life." The Zhao family has not raised you for so many years, if you don't do it well, don't blame me for not thinking about the feelings of kinship, you better pray to God that this matter can be done. ”

As soon as Gao Cang heard Zhao Huajun's words, he suddenly sweated. If this matter is revealed, he doesn't have to think about it, Zhao Huajun will definitely push him out as a substitute for the dead ghost, and at that time he didn't have a chance to scream if he wanted to.

Thinking of this, Gao Cang couldn't help but panic.

"I'll send someone to find out the news, maybe they're already on their way back, I'll go to the city to see for myself."

Zhao Huajun raised his hand and threw a token to Gao Cang.

"If you send people out of the city or if they come back, you need to open the city gate, you take my token, and when the time comes, order the captain of the city gate to temporarily open the city gate and let them in and out, just say that I mean."

Gao Cang took the token, answered and turned around and ran out. He's scared, too! This thing has been done for him is a great contribution to the Zhao family, if this thing is done badly, the Zhao family will definitely use him to bear the guilt and send him to death, and now he is in the thief ship and has to do it.

Seeing Gao Cang running out, Zhao Huajun felt inexplicably flustered at this time, and kept walking around on the ground, always feeling that this matter was a bit mysterious, afraid that something was going wrong?

Zhao Huajun was anxiously waiting for Shao Xi's death, and Shao Xi himself was on his way to Shangling County at this time.

Although Shangling County and Wuyang County are not far away, Shangling County is closer in comparison, so Shao Xi has to rush to Shangling County first to deal with the matter of mobilizing troops and horses, and then rush to Wuyang County. This is simply Shao Xi's life, he ran two counties in a row overnight, even if he was pregnant with "Qingpingdu", he felt a little unbearable, after all, he had only studied for ten days, and there was no way to compare with the yarn girl.

However, this rush also made Shao Xi feel the wonder of "Qingpingdu", in the past, he had already been tired of running so far like this, and now he felt tired when he used "Qingpingdu", but he could obviously feel that the speed of the rush had exceeded the speed when Lao Wu ran away with him.

I only felt that the scenery along the way passed by me like two intersecting high-speed trains, and only the sound of the whirring wind was left in my ears. Because the speed was too fast, his eyes were almost unable to open due to the wind, and at this time, Shao Xi was thinking that there were good goggles.

There was no one to fight in the wilderness, and Shao Xi didn't know how long he had been running, and when he felt that he was about to lose his hold, he saw the huge black shadow of Shangling City in the night from a distance.

Seeing the target, Shao Xi had more motivation, gritted his teeth and rushed to the foot of Shangling City, so tired that he gasped for a while with his legs on his hands.

His grandma's! Although learning things is fast, real kung fu still depends on slow cultivation, and there is really no shortcut to this martial arts.

Before Shao Xi could rest, he was discovered by the guards on the city and shouted at him: "Who is the person in the city?" Why are you lingering at the city gates in the middle of the night? If you don't go away quickly, or you will be shot to death with arrows. ”

Seeing that everyone took the initiative to greet him, he didn't have to pull his neck to call them.

So Shao Xi shouted to the soldiers in the city: "Hurry up and report to the county guard of Shangling County, the Holy Shangqin sent an envoy to Nanzhao Envoy, and the 'Jingcheng Division' Inspector Shi Shao Xi has an urgent matter to see him, and I have the imperial edict given by the Holy Emperor in my hand, let him quickly open the city gate and come to see me." ”

As soon as the soldiers in the city heard him say that he was a messenger and the history of the supervision and inspection of the "Jing Chengsi", they immediately felt that this was the funniest joke in the world.

In the middle of the night, in the wilderness, he ran to the city alone, and actually said that he was an official of the court or sent by the saint, isn't this simply a joke? Which official didn't call forward and hug and sound the gong to open the way? How could you run to the city alone in the middle of the night in such a miserable way?

At this time, in the eyes of that soldier, Shao Xi was a man with a hole in his brain, not only talking nonsense, but also daring to claim that he was an official of the Qin Mission. Running to the city in the middle of the night and clamoring for his immediate boss to go out of the city to see him in person, isn't this just sick?

"Where did the madman come from? Don't hurry up yet! If you don't leave, be careful that Lao Tzu shoots you with arrows. ”

Shao Xi ran down all the way, he was already tired of becoming a dog, and now the soldier was so mocking and insulting himself, and he suddenly became angry.

"This is an emergency military situation, you quickly go to report to the county guard, if you delay and watch your head, don't think that Lao Tzu is easy to provoke."

"Oops, you dead madman! You dare to insult the military master, see if I don't shoot you! ”

As soon as the words fell, he heard a "whoosh", and a feather arrow shot towards Shao Xi.
