Chapter 4 Anticipating the Enemy

After hearing Fang Zhennuo's idea, everyone felt it was reasonable. Chu Yuan said, "Let me leave this matter to me. You all have a good face. Junior Brother Hu and Junior Brother He have also shown their faces before. Only I rarely walk around, so it is more convenient to do things."

Zhu Qing said: "It's good that they don't recognize you, but the same thing, you don't recognize them, just because you're afraid you'll mislead it," he said.

Yunbianqing walks on the trail: "Military advisor, I have been to the capital and have also been to Shanxi with Mingcheng Jun Chenlu. I know both people from the Qin family and the Dongchang. As long as you are careful to hide, it is not difficult to find out."

"Well..." Fang Zhennuo looked slightly while pondering, swept over Zhu Qing's blood-seeking shoulder and Jiang Wanqiang's face supported by his spirit, nodded, and said, "Okay, but this trip must be very secret. Not only can you not bring more people, but you can't even use boats. It's best to float with driftwood and dive ashore. Just now, the official army retreated eastward, and it was probably to go to Yueyang. The night was dark and the water was cold. It was not close to these dozens of miles."

Yun Bianqing said, "The brothers have swam over hundreds of miles just now. What is my path?" He turned to Ji Yeping and said, "Master, I will not take anyone. Before dawn, I will definitely find out clearly and come back." He twisted his body and was about to leave, but suddenly he was pulled at his arm.

When he looked back, Fang Zhennuo was holding him. He saw that his eyes were deeply worried, as if he was concerned, he also had the meaning of entrusting the lives and hopes of the brothers on his own. Ji Yeping, Zhu Qing, Jiang Wan, Chu Yuan and others also focused on him.

He reached out and pressed Fang Zhennuo's back of his hand, squeezed it hard, nodded, Fang Zhennuo said, "I'll give it to you,"

After halfway through the third day, the Dongchang fleet, led and supported by the Sanxiang Navy, slowly stopped at Yueyang Port.

After getting off the boat, Yu Dayou ordered the soldiers to quickly carry Chang Sihao to the clinic, but was stopped by Zeng Shiquan: "The Marquis's golden body, how can those quack doctors in the city treat randomly? This time the factory brought out a few experts, so you can leave him to me with confidence," he made a gesture and several officers surrounded him.

Yu Dayou was not easy to stop him, so he handed over the stretcher and asked, "I don't know where the governor is now," Zeng Shiquan smiled: "It's too late today. The old general came day and night. I guess he was very tired. I'd better take a good rest in the camp. If there is anything else, I'll talk about it tomorrow," Yu Dayou said: "We will join forces to block Dongting, and the people of Juhao Pavilion must also seek breakthroughs. Although these people in the martial arts world are rampant, there are also many good people who are deeply hidden in good fortune. It is very likely that they will choose to break through overnight. It is important to be a big deal. The master and the subordinates may not be able to make a decision. Since the emperor sent Guo Gong to preside over this trip, let's ask him for instructions and make sure the direction is the best."

Zeng Shiquan's face wrinkled: "Haha, what the old general said is, but the governor had already given instructions before, and it must have been explained in the letter to the old general that we only need to block the Dongting waterway and trap Junshan. Today's battle is really the opponent's sudden attack and tease first. If something unexpected happens, as for how to prevent counterattack and stop breaking through, the old general and his brothers will have to work harder. Xiao Quan has several criminals waiting for trial, and secondly, he has to take care of the Marquis' injuries. This is rude and cannot be accompanied by more." After saying that, the officers of the East Factory raised Chang Sihao and held fire Li Guwen, Sonam Gyatso and Bai Jiao Mingfei, Zhang Shisanniang and others followed Li Yichen first. Zeng Shiquan bowed to Yu Dayou, greeted the people on the hill and Lu Huangqiao, and then followed.

Seeing the East Factory disappearing into the night, someone behind Yu Dayou spat and cursed, "What are you looking like? Without us, you're already a fish food," the other generals sneered coldly, cursed a few words, one of them calmed down first, leaned forward slightly, and said softly: "Sir, this Zeng man was obviously playing tricks on us, and the orders from Guo Gong were just around the island. Why did he take people to show off? Li Yichen shouldn't come from that direction. It was obvious that they couldn't attack the front and back and suffered losses, but they turned down Juhao Pavilion," another said, "Yes, I think he was afraid that our army would wipe out Junshan as soon as it arrived, so he took the lead with the advantage of equipment to avoid being robbed of credit by us. He suffered losses at this moment, and pushed all the defense affairs to us. Isn't this clearly a joke? Also, "

Yu Dayou opened his hand and stopped them, looked up at the sky, and said, "Don't complain. It is the emperor's will to cooperate with the East Factory. It is a very kind thing for them to supervise our army. People are big-mouthed and we are small-mouthed, and fighting for anything else is useless. The key is to do a good job in defense. Otherwise, if something happens, it is not our responsibility."

When several generals heard this, they bowed their heads and said nothing. Yu Dayou took out a map from his arms and spread the torch in his hand and said, "The people of Juhao Pavilion want to break through, and the most likely they are to take are these three waterways: one is the northwest diversion waterway, the other is the northeast Chenglingjikou, and the Xiangjiangkou far south. I have left 30,000 brothers at the Xiangjiang Port. They can block the breakout along the line and also return to protect the direction of Gutian. This side should not be considered. Then there are only two roads in the northwest and northeast. The people of Juhao Pavilion are very likely to break through from two points to enter the Yangtze River, and then go downstream to Poyang Lake, and meet with their fellow parties in the Lushan area, Sun Cheng and Chen Liang."

The two generals are close together: "In", "In,"

"You bring five thousand people to help guard the tuning strings, Ma Yuan and Hou Gang, you also bring five thousand brothers to guard the entrance of Chenglingji. You must take care of the surrounding water roads,"

Four generals say in unison: "Yes", "Yes,"

Yu Dayou quickly glanced around and continued: "Water is the key, but land cannot be relaxed. The remaining 10,000 people are rowing out nine thousand. Xiao Huang and you guys lead them. Let me spread the coast to both sides with Yueyang. The last 1,000 people will be taken along the lake shore by boat. Remember, no matter where you fight, send a letter of cannon immediately. The neighbors can divide up 30% of them to rescue each other, and the remaining 70% are just staying at their posts, so as not to be hit by the enemy's plan to attack the east and west. After receiving the report, I will also arrive at the support at full speed."

After hearing these words, the generals looked at the map and did not move. The young general surnamed Huang said, "Sir, it is said that the person who was bombarded by me today is Ji Yeping, the leader of Juhao bandit, who dared to rush out with a gun and a boat. Obviously, he is brave but not resourceful. The leader is like this, and his subordinates are even less worried. Moreover, they have seen a battle with the East Factory and have not obtained any advantage. They are probably still resting now, and they may not be able to think about breaking out at night. Are you too cautious when you are so nervous about making arrangements now?"

Yu Dayou smiled coldly: "You can still see that he is brave but not smart. You didn't think about it. When he came out, he made a loud sound, but there was not even a supporter. What does it mean? Li Yichen's people attacked and returned home. What does it mean? It means that there are brains on the island watching the home, playing chess and saying that the car is a car to protect the coach. They even dare to give up the coach. It can be seen that the coach is not really handsome, and Ji Yeping is not worth worrying about whether he is dead or alive, but as long as the person behind the command is here, we cannot take it lightly."

The young man named Huang was very ashamed and said with a smile: "Don't be ashamed. We are not as good as you at this age. Follow Lao Yu to study hard," Sun Cheng said: "Sir, the tuning is the entrance to Dongting. Juhao Pavilion is going to kill him. Walking this path is against the current. In contrast, they still have a big face to run to Chenglingji. Lao Hou and Lao Ma are under a lot of pressure. Are we going to divide our people into a little bit?"

Yu Dayou said: "Okay, you have thought very well, but the enemy may also think of this, and therefore think that we will deploy heavy troops at the entrance of Chenglingji. Correspondingly, we will also think that the strength of the tuning tuning tuning is relatively weak, so the possibility of choosing to break through against the current is also relatively high. Don't think that the burden is light and you are careless and lost Jingzhou. The distance from this to the tuning tuning is long. Let's set off later, you have to speed up the speed."

Then he looked at the young general surnamed Huang: "Also, Xiao Huang, you guys should pay attention. Today we have shown up. The other party has already known the details. Our military advantage will be gone after the blockade line is lengthened. Therefore, if the other party wants to attack, it will be more focused. Although it is easy to be besieged by land, and it is difficult to speed up due to lack of food and horses, as long as they make a breakthrough, they can be broken into pieces and penetrate Jiangxi. Although the thief has no boats and has broken up with his party, breaking through land is also a good way to preserve their strength as much as possible. So you young people are also energetic."

The young man named Huang was promising: "Sir, you have really figured out the thief's heart."

Yu Dayou knocked his helmet and said, "Hey, silly boy, it's not so easy to figure it out. It's just that you're not wrong to be careful. I don't like to hear nonsense about one general's success. I just hope that the next time I start a meal, these brothers can still surround me. Uh, by the way, after you get to your seat, remember not to have conflicts with the East Factory Office, local defenders, remember what you did, and stay away from the matter of finding slants and fighting. Okay, I don't have time to talk, and I still have any questions."

The generals immediately straightened their backs with their lips pursed, and Yu Dayou waved his hand: "Move, hurry, hurry,"

The tower on Yueyang was brightly lit. Before the sealing of the lake, this place became a temporary hall of the East Factory. After arranging a rest place for the people on the hill and Lu Huangqiao, Li Yichen squinted his eyes and looked like a stretcher like a mortal on the ground and asked, "Zheng Shiquan, what should I do?" Zeng Shiquan asked the tea bowl to warm up and started: "What should I do?" Li Yichen said: "Hang batter," Seeing Zeng Shiquan squinted his eyes and said hurriedly: "Then... fried shrimp section,"

What he said were the common code words of the "dssert shop" in the torture house of Dongchang. Hanging batter means bandaging and treating injuries, and fried shrimp sections are decapitating the head.

Zeng Shiquan said, "It's been so many days since you've been with the factory. What to do? I don't know," Li Yichen lowered his head and said, "I'll ask the Master to show you," Zeng Shiquan said, "When I commanded the battle, the Marquis helped me. The enemy didn't kill many enemies, but I accidentally injured many officials. I think I'm really disappointed." Li Yichen's eyes turned darkly, and he knew that he was going to kill Chang Sihao himself, but this person had a special identity and had a banquet with the governor day and night in Beijing. He was very accompanied. He did not have clear instructions. If there was an accident in the future, wouldn't it be all his faults? He said, "That's what Master said..."

Zeng Shiquan put down the tea bowl and laughed: "Hey, okay, you have made great progress," Li Yichen lowered his head and smiled: "I dare not, it's all cultivated by the Master," Zeng Shiquan said: "Well, the Marquis' noble body is not something that the quack doctors around us can touch. Take it down and look forward to it. Wait until I report to the governor, and ask the Emperor to call the imperial doctor down to treat it." Li Yichen was happy: "Yes, the Master is still thinking well, but my subordinates dare to ask for instructions: Marquis I hate evil and wake up and definitely want to lead the troops to fight with the thieves in Juhao Pavilion. How dare we stop each other?" Zeng Shiquan sighed: "That's right. The Marquis wants to kill the enemy, but his health is not good. This will not be good for his body. If you have any pills like Angong to nourish the spirit, you should give me a few pills to make the Marquis sleep safely. It can be considered as your filial pie," said Zeng Shiquan.

Zhang Shisanniang heard their answers, obviously wanted to delay the treatment of Russia and drag Chang Sihao to death. Then she realized that both sides were not the same group. It seemed that Chang Sihao was on the boat at that time, because she was afraid that she would anger Zeng's surname, and suffered a loss. However, at this moment, she was controlled by others and could not do anything. She had to watch Chang Sihao being carried down by the officials. Li Yichen waved his hand and some officials came over and took her down together with Huo Li Guwen and others. Someone outside the building reported that Yu Dayou divided his troops and sent generals, and deployed defenses from multiple routes. He also sent the ten miles of time and famine that had been pulled out from the boat. Li Yichen retreated when he saw that there was no outsider and asked: "Master, I didn't understand at that time. Since Yu Dayou's soldiers have arrived, why don't you go with the flow and let them be cannon fodder?"

Zeng Shiquan said slanted to him: "The leak I poked was already big enough. If I didn't hold it in time, I would make a mistake. Can the governor pass the future? "

Li Yichen said: "It's not your fault. They were all given orders. The eldest, the second, the fourth, and even the little Qin boy can be ranked first to make contributions. Why did the governor just give us such an errand?"

Zeng Shiquan said: "It's great. Who doesn't want to play beautiful hands? Don't want to be as glorious as them. Why are we going to do this trip? But what's the result? Let's go as far as the governor's words. I've told you a long time ago that in our factory, only the governor's brain is called the brain. We don't need to think about it. As long as you listen, there's nothing wrong with it. You don't believe it. I'll tell you, my head has just cooled down now, don't instigate the evil fire. Let's be honest and act according to the original plan."

The autumn wind sweeps water, the moon is cold in Dongting, and on the dark lake east of Junshan, a driftwood is silent and gradually drifts away.

Fang Zhennuo stared at the shore for a while, turned around and rushed back to the lion's mouth.

After entering the stone fort hall, several people who were studying the map under the lights raised their heads.

Fang Zhennuo glanced at him and asked, "Where is the Pavilion Master?"

Zhu Qing and Jiang Wan looked at each other, and their faces were a little unnatural. Fang Zhennuo immediately understood: "Okay, I understand," waved to the warrior at the door and said: "Transfer my order to inform the Dragon Emperor, Tiger Emperor, Feng Emperor, and General Lu, General Yu and General Lang to gather all brothers, including the injured, to gather in Xigang. Each person brings dry food that can last for at least two days. Remember not to light a torch and keep quiet."

The warrior left, and Zhu Qing asked, "Military advisor, what are you going to do?"

Fang Zhennuo said: "Break through,"

Everyone in the room was stunned. Chu Yuan said, "Brother Fang, what's wrong with you? Yun Bianqing has just left and the enemy situation has not yet been explored. How can he break through hastily?"

Fang Zhennuo said: "The situation has changed," then turned to Zhu Qing: "You go to Xigang to prepare a ship first. Remember to prepare a few more rattan cards for each ship to prevent crossbows. I will summon the pavilion master. When people gather together later, set off immediately." After saying that, he turned around and left the hall. Although everyone didn't know what it said, the military advisor's order must be done and there was no discussion. Zhu Qing winked, put away the map, and hurried down the mountain with the four brothers of Jiang Wan.

Fang Zhennuo took the paper and pen and wrote some words in a hurry. He blew up the paper and inserted it into his arms. He returned to the main village, went west to the main entrance of Juhao Pavilion, turned left and right, and came to a quiet courtyard surrounded by bamboo shadows. There were several Ji Yeping who were following him outside. When he saw him coming, he hurriedly bowed and bowed. Fang Zhennuo didn't say anything and stepped directly into the courtyard. As soon as he arrived at the door of the main room, he heard a woman in the inner room saying, "...If you are willing to let me go, I will give it to you..."

The last sentence was very low, and Fang Zhennuo frowned and stopped when he heard it.

There was a "splash" sound in the room, as if the cups and plates of porcelain were swept to the ground. Then Ji Yeping said, "You, what do you think of me?" His voice was angry and excited.

The night wind blew, and the bamboo leaves around the yard were rumbling, and the red tassels slanted under the eaves shook, just like the shaking shadow of the lights on the window paper.

The room was quiet, and the woman said in a weak voice: "Brother Ping, I also know that you are not that kind of person. I was confused for a moment and said the wrong thing. It was because I was not good. I was just afraid of him..."

Ji Yeping said: "Don't worry, even though that shot penetrated his lower abdomen, it wouldn't have taken his life."

Fang Zhennuo could hear these two sentences were said while exhaling, not sighing, but still mixed with a bit of depression.

He raised his feet in silence and was about to take a step, but he heard a "punch" sound from the room, and followed the woman and said, "Brother Ping, you are a hero, please agree to me this time," Ji Yeping said, "What are you doing? Get up quickly."

Amid the competition between the two, Fang Zhennuo's eyes were quiet and quiet, and he never took the step. At this time, Ji Yeping said, "You were a guest on the mountain. I really wanted to leave, but I couldn't stop him, but..." The woman said, "I know you are afraid that they will not, but you know best that I have lived in this yard since I entered the island and have never been to anywhere. I don't know anything about the situation on the island, and I hate Dongchang. No matter how they interrogate, I will not say it... I beg you,,"
