East Factory Governor

Chapter 423
The Bailian Sect members that Qin Shuhuai met, from high-level elders to ordinary believers at the bottom, have always obeyed the leader's words, and would never be like Wang Zhongquan, who stubbornly insisted on his own opinion and put aside the leader's wishes.

The reason is simple. The White Lotus Sect is an organization built on faith, and most of the people in the sect regard the leader as the agent of God.Especially Qin Shuhuai, because the former leader said that he is the reincarnation of Zidao Xingjun, and he has done many things that are difficult for ordinary people to do, so now the White Lotus Cultists have reached the peak of their worship of him, and they obey him.

However, this Wang Zhongquan did not listen to Qin Shuhuai's opinion at all, and seemed to be eager to let Qin Shuhuai do what he wanted.

Is this person himself extremely stubborn, or is there something else hidden?

Thinking of this, Qin Shuhuai said calmly, "Deacon Wang is also right. I have heard of Zhang Xianzhong's cunning, and this time he has joined forces with Gao Yingxiang. If he wants to ambush us, it will be really difficult to deal with."

Wang Zhongquan nodded immediately, and said, "The leader is wise! Therefore, we must not fall into their trap!"

"Well, tell me, which way should we go?"

Wang Zhongquan said without hesitation, "Reporting to the leader, my subordinates know a small path, which can avoid the ambush of Zhang Thief and Gao Thief, and can reach Hancheng without anyone noticing!"

Qin Shuhuai showed great interest and said, "Then tell me quickly."

Wang Zhongquan said, "Master, we can go west, first enter Yichuan County, then turn around and go south, heading straight to Hancheng."

"Yichuan?" Qin Shuhuai smiled faintly, "Is it easy to go there?"

Qin Shuhuai has never been to Yichuan, but from the name, he knows that the place must be hilly.

And what does the hilly terrain mean?
It means that there will be countless road sections suitable for ambushes.When marching and fighting, if you encounter an ambush in the plains, the ambushed troops can quickly deploy, and the inferiority is generally not too great. Unless the opponent's troops are far more than your own, or the opponent has a large number of cavalry charging, it is difficult to occupy Absolute advantage.

But ambushes in hilly areas are different. There is only a narrow path in the middle of the mountains on both sides. The enemy not only has a condescending impact, but also the ambushed troops cannot disperse, so they can only be beaten passively.When he ambushed the [-] army of slaves with a few thousand people in Hengling, he was able to achieve the result of annihilating nearly [-] enemies, which is because he used this terrain advantage to the extreme.

Wang Zhongquan hurriedly said, "Master, there is a trail there, which is very easy to walk, and the subordinates can show it to you."

As he spoke, he twisted his body, meaning to let Qin Shuhuai untie him.

Qin Shuhuai was not afraid of his assassination, so he went up to untie the rope that bound him without hesitation.

Wang Zhongquan stretched his muscles, then walked to the table, pointed to the map and said, "Please look, Master, this path is here."

Qin Shuhuai took a look, and the path Wang Zhongquan mentioned was indeed in the hilly area intertwined with mountains, and many sections of the road were in the valley surrounded by mountains.

In this kind of terrain, if 5 to [-] bandits are ambushed on both sides, and a large number of fireballs are prepared, then my army of more than [-] will definitely suffer heavy losses.

In contrast, Qin Shuhuai would rather follow the official path, not to mention that there are at most [-] to [-] ambush soldiers along the established official path.

Wang Zhongquan's words and deeds were incompatible with the members of the White Lotus Sect, and he hurriedly led the army to the steep mountain road, which made Qin Shuhuai have to doubt the real identity of this person.

After pondering for a while, he said, "Deacon Wang, is it true that very few people know about the path you mentioned?"

Wang Zhongquan nodded with great certainty, "Except for the locals who have lived in the area for a long time, outsiders hardly know about it. Moreover, Zhang Thief and Gao Thief have ambushed heavy troops in the Shuihe area. Even if they know, they will never go there in time. Subordinates It is suggested that the leader can lead the army to set off after dark, and bind the hooves of the horses, so that they will not be able to find it even more."

Qin Shuhuai stared at the map for a while, then smiled and said, "It makes sense! In this way, we can arrive at Hancheng without anyone noticing, and catch him by surprise! Maybe we can capture the two thieves Gao and Zhang alive!"

Wang Zhongquan had an obvious smile on his lips, and said again and again, "The leader is wise! After this battle, the leader will definitely become famous all over the world again!"

"Deacon Wang, if there is such a day, you will have made a great contribution! Don't worry, I will never treat you badly!" Qin Shuhuai patted Wang Zhongquan's shoulder and said with a smile.

Wang Zhongquan immediately knelt down and said impassionedly, "This subordinate is willing to die for the leader!"

"Very good!" Qin Shuhuai nodded appreciatively, and then said, "However, General Du has arrested so many of your people this time. I wonder if the two thieves Zhang and Gao will change their established strategy because of this?"

Wang Zhongquan moved his eyes slightly, and said, "The leader is right. Why don't you pretend to reprimand General Du for disturbing the people, and then release us all. In this way, none of us will be tortured, and the two thieves Zhang and Gao will not be tortured." It is suspected that the news has been leaked!"

"Oh, so the three people who were beaten outside are not yours?"

"Hey, they are all hard-working people. Among the thirty or so people, including subordinates, only three are the secret work of thieves."

Qin Shuhuai chuckled, "This plan is very clever, well, I will follow what you say. However, you must be careful when you go back, and don't let them see that you are one of us."

Wang Zhongquan chuckled, "Don't worry, the leader, the subordinates know what to do."

……

Soon, Qin Shuhuai severely reprimanded Du Wenhuan for disturbing the people in the military camp, and fined him half a year's salary.After that, he ordered people to release all these people, and gave rice, noodles, money and food to show comfort.

Seeing these people strutting out of the barracks, Du Wenhuan was so angry that he turned his head and left, even Hong Chengchou looked puzzled.

Qin Shuhuai returned to the commander's account, and called Du Wenhuan and Hong Chengchou in again.

Du Wenhuan was still full of anger, and after entering the handsome tent, he didn't say a word, even turning his head in the opposite direction from Qin Shuhuai.

Qin Shuhuai smiled and said, "General Du, you have been wronged."

Du Wenhuan said insincerely, "The last general dare not."

Obviously angry words.

"General Du, you have made great achievements in the search and arrest, and I will remember it for you."

Du Wenhuan finally turned his head and looked at Qin Shuhuai with a puzzled expression.

Just now he was scolded for disturbing the people, now how does the imperial envoy say that he has meritorious service?

Qin Shuhuai said again, "I think that Wang Zhongquan is probably a spy of the rogues."

Du Wenhuan became more and more confused as he listened, and couldn't help but said, "My lord, since you also think he is a spy, why don't you torture him severely, and you can always get some information, so why let him go again?"
