"General, general, good news, good news!"

In a cave in the deep mountains of Yimeng, Tanma hurriedly rushed into the cave, walked quickly to Zhenghe, and announced: "General, my subordinates have heard that there is a batch of grain to be transported to the old city in southern Hebei, and they will set off the day after three!" ”

"Reliable information?"

When Zhenghe heard this, he was surprised and delighted, the snow on the mountain had not yet melted, except for a few prey, they had stayed on the mountain for the past few days and were so hungry that they could only gnaw on the bark.

Now that I hear that there is a shipment of grain to the old city, this is not to create an opportunity for them to send food.

Such a rare opportunity must be well grasped.

"The news has been confirmed!" Tanma's breath was short, which showed how fast he walked.

Zhenghe turned his head and asked a few subordinates present, "What do you think about this?" Do you have a different opinion? ”

The deputy general glanced at a few people and said: "What we lack most now is food, and we are thinking about how to get food from Jizhou, but I didn't expect them to automatically send it to the door. ”

This sounds a bit of a gambler's mentality, and Chi Zhongjun first raised objections.

He said, "How strange is this! ”

Zhenghe chuckled in his heart, "How do you say this?" ”

Chi Zhongjun expressed his suspicions: "General Li also said just now, just as we are in urgent need of food, the Jizhou government immediately organized a grain shipment, as if it was to send us grain, don't you think this matter is evil?" Besides, even if grain is to be transported, it should be transported after the autumn harvest, who will transport grain when the roads are icy? ”

The adjutant general also muttered in his heart, but he still retorted: "Maybe the old city has suffered a snow disaster this year, and food is transported from southern Hebei to relieve the disaster, don't forget, we didn't melt because of the snow on the mountain, and the temperature under the mountain is higher than on the mountain, and the snow under the mountain has begun to melt." ”

Chi Zhongjun hit the nail on the head to express his suspicions: "Even if the snow has begun to melt as you said, isn't it more difficult to walk on the muddy road?" ”

"In such a bad situation, the government still sends grain to the old city, which doesn't mean that there is a problem!"

The lieutenant snorted coldly, "This is all your speculation, what can the problem say?" ”

Zhenghe frowned slightly, glanced at the deputy general, turned his head and asked Chi Zhongjun: "Do you suspect that this is the bait released by the Jizhou government?" Is its purpose to lure us out of the mountains? ”

Chi Zhongjun nodded solemnly: "It is precisely this suspicion!" ”

"When we break into Jizhou, the most anxious thing must be the Jizhou Assassin Mansion, in order to prevent us from making trouble in the Jizhou area, they will definitely take some measures and think of some ways to stop us."

As for what?

Of course, what they lack the most, they will provide what they want to lure the enemy to show up.

If they went down the mountain because of this batch of grain, he believed that there were Jizhou soldiers and horses waiting for them to throw themselves into the net on the way to transport the grain.

At this point, Zhenghe probably believed his words, just

"Now it's not a long-term solution for us to stay on the mountain and not go down, so if we stay on the mountain for a while in such wet and cold weather, the brothers will be wasted!"

They don't need Jizhou soldiers and horses to exterminate them, they will fend for themselves.

Hearing this, the cave fell silent for a moment, except for the occasional crackling sound from the fire.

Chi Zhongjun threw the dried firewood at his feet into the fire, and under the firelight, there was madness in his eyes.

After a while, he raised his head and said: "The Jizhou government designed this plan, and it must have been calculated that we will be fooled, in this case, we might as well take the plan and act in the opposite way, and catch them off guard, what do you think?" ”

When Zhenghe heard this, his eyes lit up, and he urged: "What good strategies do the loyal army have, hurry up and listen to it!" ”

Chi Zhongjun drew the approximate location of their location on the ground with a tree branch, and then drew the location of the old city.

"If this grain transportation is not a conspiracy of the Jizhou Thorn Mansion, I will cut off my head and kick it for you!"

"You see, transporting this batch of grain from southern Hebei to the old city, in this season of initial snowfall, it will definitely not work to take the road in the Yimeng Mountains. Then, if they want to transport grain to the old city, they have to bypass the Yimeng Mountains and pass through here. ”

"And if we want to hijack this grain, we have to come out of the mountains and go down to grab it. And the closest to the Yimeng Mountains is at the intersection of the Yimeng Mountains and the Mengshan Mountains, and the road is mountainous on both sides, which is the best ambush location. ”

Saying that, Chi Zhongjun threw away the branches and sighed: "If we go down the mountain to hijack this batch of grain, obviously this place is the best hijacking point and the best ambush point for the enemy, if we are ambushed here, we will have no way to escape!" ”

There are steep mountains on both sides, as long as the enemy blocks the two intersections and distributes a little force to occupy the high ground on both sides, they will really be beaten by Jizhou soldiers and horses, and they will be dead!

Zhenghe's face darkened, and he was also afraid that he was almost stepping on the pit.

"How do we fight back, according to you?"

Through Chi Zhongjun's analysis, the Jizhou government passed through the periphery of the Yimeng Mountains this time, obviously trying to lure them out of the mountains.

Chi Zhongjun pointed to the north and said: "Since they are sure that we will be fooled, we might as well take advantage of the fact that they have not yet set off, take the first step through the mountains, and climb to the other side of Mengshan, the terrain in the north is relatively gentle, it is a large grain-producing county in Jizhou, and the official warehouse in the county has the grain we need." ”

Zhenghe slapped his palm on the stone next to him, and said excitedly: "Okay, since they are so calculating us, and they don't come to be rude, we can be regarded as giving them a little reward for robbing the official warehouse!" Let them know that there is a price to be paid for calculating us! ”

Surprisingly, several people did not think about the possibility of failure, they thought that a surprise attack on a county town was too easy for them, and there was no difficulty at all.

"However, since we have decided to act, we still have to pay attention to the movements of the government."

Hearing this, Tanma stood up from another fire, walked over quickly, and said, "In that case, let's go find out the movements of the government first." ”

"Good!" Zhenghe responded as soon as he heard it, "In this way, go back quickly, and remember to escape if you encounter danger!" ”

The probe horse was ordered and strode out of the cave.

——

Three days later, in a small county town in southern Hebei, a convoy set off from the county seat.

They had not gone far from the gates before the road became terrible, muddy, and in some places the wheels were so deep that the guards had to push and lift them to get out of the mud puddles.

I couldn't walk more than 20 miles in a day, and the convoy was full of complaints.

At this rate, it will take more than 20 days to transport these grains to the old city, and how can people stand this kind of cold and freezing weather that allows them to stay in the wild for more than 20 days?

Even if it is not transported to the old city, it will take more than ten days to reach the outskirts of Yimeng Mountain, and the transportation team walks slowly, and the guards in the team pray in their hearts that the weather will not rain or snow, otherwise the road will be more slippery, and they are afraid of rain and wet clothes.

Two days after the grain transport team that acted as a decoy left, Xiao Qi, who was stationed in the southern county seat of Jizhou, received the news that Xia Jing and Li Chengmu led the team across the river!

He looked at several henchmen with a stern expression, "After all, the rebels have attracted the imperial court, how should we deal with it next?" ”

Xiao Baoyin said: "The queen and the crown prince are here, and we can't stop it, what else can we do, we can only receive him well and make him feel at home." ”

One of the generals under the command of Assassin Shi snorted on the ground: "The queen and the crown prince are here to help exterminate the rebels, but I think they are definitely selling dog meat on the head of a sheep, maybe they have some bad ideas in their hearts!" ”

Xiao Baoyin nodded in agreement: "He's right, the court is uneasy and kind, not long after the rebels came, they chased them to the door, I doubt that the rebels were deliberately put into Jizhou!" ”

Xiao Dagongzi, who didn't have a witty mind, guessed Xia Jing's attempt at once.

Xiao Qi sighed: "Jizhou is actively preparing for military force, just for the people of Jizhou not to be poisoned by the war, I never thought that the imperial court would besiege the rebels into Jizhou for its own selfishness, and come to harb the people of Jizhou, it's really chilling to think about!" ”

Xiao Qi's words made it easy for people with a heart to hear it. But he didn't want to think about it, if it weren't for his strong army, he never took the initiative to attack the rebels, even if the rebels were jumping under his nose, he wouldn't send troops.

is so self-respecting, he is embarrassed to accuse others.

Xiao Baoyin scratched his head and asked, "Father, what do you say the court is trying to do?" ”

Xiao Yuncheng glanced at the eldest brother and sneered, "You should ask the queen and the prince what they want to do?" ”

This sounds like people can't cry or laugh, Jizhou belongs to the imperial court, and it stands to reason that the queen and the prince can come whenever they want, as for making the history of a state assassin like a great enemy.

If Xia Jing was here, she might have to wonder if it was an intruder.

Xiao Baoyin frowned slightly: "The queen and crown prince are different from each other, does it represent the imperial court?" ”

Xiao Yuncheng thought in his heart, seeing that he could lead troops to fight outside as a queen, he knew that this queen was not one of those queens in history who followed the rules and cared for the world!

The same is true for the prince, the son of the daughter does not sit in the court, and the prince of a country dares to lead the troops to quell the rebellion, which shows that his mind and ability are not ordinary.

No matter how the Jizhou Assassin Mansion was like a great enemy, Xia Jing's first stop in Jizhou was to go to the county town where the rebels sacked and killed 3,000 soldiers.

Now the people of the county have not recovered from their panic, and the officials who temporarily manage the county are appointed by the Jizhou Assassin History Office, and the handover work has not been completed for the time being.

He went to the city gate to greet him, and when Xia Jing saw him come forward to salute, she found that this person was a little familiar.

Xia Jing is spiritual ability, so she was stunned for a moment at first, and she remembered who he was as quickly as possible?

This was temporarily replaced by Xiao Qi as the county commander Fan Guangjian, the former Runan County Commander.

When they escaped from the capital and met him in Yuzhou, he took advantage of her inattention and sent a beauty to Prince Qian's bed.

It can be seen that this man's ambition is not small, and he wants to get closer to the relationship with King Qian's mansion through women.

Speaking of the beauty who was abandoned by Li Jingfu's scumbag, I don't know if she was enjoyed by this county order later?

Xia Jing sat on horseback, condescending, staring at the top of Fan Guangjian's head, "It's really rare for the tired and cheap adults to come to greet us in their busy schedules, let's get up!" ”

Fan Guangjian knew that what he did at the beginning was to completely offend the queen and the crown prince.

It's just that in officialdom, many things are involuntary.

"Niangniang, Weichen is called Fan Guangjian, not Fan Jian."

Xia Jing stepped forward and looked at him with a smile, "Oh, I remember, you are called a criminal!" ”

Fan Guangjian's face turned red, and a name could be pronounced so solemnly!

Xia Jing lightly clamped the horse's belly and circled around him, and finally picked up his jaw with a horsewhip, looked left and right, and sighed: "If I remember correctly, you were still the county magistrate of Runan County last year, when did you order you to come here?" ”

Hearing this, Fan Guangjian trembled in his heart, and said with a pretended calm face: "Weichen is now temporarily transferred to the position of county commander. The official appointment of the prefectural order still requires an official document from the imperial court. ”

Li Chengmu walked to Xia Jing's side, listened to his words, and asked, "In other words, did you come here without an order from the imperial court?" Didn't the imperial court stipulate that local officials were not allowed to go to various places in tandem? ”

Fan Guangjian: "Yes. ”

was so frightened that cold sweat broke out, and he didn't dare to raise his hand to wipe it.

Xia Jing raised her hand and threw down a whip, knocked Fan Guangjian to the ground, and shouted behind her: "Don't hurry up and tie up this tandem official for me!" ”

"Yes! Master! ”

Ye Fei made a gesture to the guards behind him, and immediately someone stepped forward and took off Fan Guangjian's official hat, and the people also took it up.

"Niangniang, Your Highness, spare your life!"

He didn't expect the queen and the crown prince to attack him as soon as they came up, and he thought that when he was in Runan, he hadn't seen the two, so he thought that they didn't know his identity, but he didn't expect to be recognized by their mother and son as soon as they came into contact.

What a mistake!

If he had known this, he would not have shown up today.

Xia Jing looked at the county order that was paralyzed on the ground, and sneered: "The county order of Yuzhou actually came to Jizhou Mansion across the state capital to serve as the county order, and there was no court order. ”

Saying that, she looked like she was thinking, and asked, "How did you do it?" Or did you come to Jizhou from Yuzhou through Xiao Qi's consent? ”

At the beginning, she had always suspected who the master behind the Runan County Order was, and today she may have an answer, but as for whether the answer is correct or not, she will have her own judgment in the future.

Fan Guangjian lay on the ground, regardless of the melting snow on the ground, lying in the muddy mud, "Niangniang, Weichen is forced, there is really no way!" You spare Weichen this time, there are old and young people in the family, they can't live without me! ”

Xia Jing saw that he was scared but not serious, and his mood was quite stable, so she asked curiously, "You don't think that the master behind you will come to get you back, right?" ”

A trace of doubt flashed in Fan Guangjian's eyes, and he had a bad premonition in his heart.

Sure enough, I heard Xia Jing say: "If I were your master, it would be good if I didn't kill my mouth, how could I spend money and effort and risk exposure to get you out, you are daydreaming and haven't woken up yet?" ”

Of course, this Fan Jian is Fan Guangjian, and the trial still has to be clear, but whether it can be put on the bright side is another matter.

When the interrogation came out, Xia Jing read it casually, then went to the study and wrote a letter to Xiao Qi, who was not far away.
