Be the emperor from the postman

Chapter 718 Confused Response to Confused Operations (Fourth)
After Cao Wenzhao got the scouting report, his whole body began to be enlightened, and he was suddenly puzzled by the operation of the hammer.

After He Jinchao and Gao Yingxiang reconciled, they did not join forces to deal with the Ming army with all their strength.

The two sides staged a head-to-head battle, which is what he expected to happen next.

The intruder led the thieves under his command and headed straight to Fushan, as if he was about to run out of Shanxi and head to Henan.

The hammer bandit He Jinzhao camped wantonly on the opposite bank of Linfen instead, and was completely unmoved.

"Boss, we have sent someone to investigate. All the burglars in Linfen County have disappeared."

In order to prevent fraud, Cao Bianjiao personally led people into the city to investigate.

Hearing this, Cao Wenzhao frowned even deeper, and quickly made arrangements:

"Take Ning Wuzhu behind the intruder and see what he is going to do. Remember that the poor should not chase you, lest he set up an ambush."

"Yes."

Cao Wenzhao immediately left with a group of cavalry.

Ning Wu was a little puzzled. He always felt that after the meeting between the intruder Gao Yingxiang and He Jinzhao, the two parties must have reached an agreement and launched a conspiracy against the officers and soldiers.

He admits that He Jinzhao is capable of fighting, but he is definitely not a reckless man. On the contrary, he is good at using tricks, and his shots are fierce.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have chopped off so many county kings' heads, punished Jin Wang's son to go to the coal mine to dig coal for half a year, and then released him to sweep the streets.

This move directly caused the rebellious sentiment of the people in Shanxi to be extremely high.

This is just a superficial phenomenon.

Ning Wu, who was born as a veteran official, gentry and landlord, might not bother to understand what the people at the bottom lack?
That is the lack of such an economic lifeline as land, but food as a means of survival.

Food and land are people's hearts.

And He Jinzhao provided them with these two things.

Therefore, what the people under the Hammer bandits gave him back was a large amount of labor, the "revolutionary enthusiasm" that changed their destiny, and their expectations for the future.

All kinds of gentry exploited the people at the bottom too seriously. What they wanted was a reasonable place to eat, clothe and warm. Their biggest wish was to get promoted and get rich.

If you can't survive, there is nothing to be afraid of, you can only fight to the death.

These people represented by Ning Wu don't think deeply, they only see the superficial phenomenon.

In their view, He Jinzhao's matter of digging the Yellow River, how ruthless a person must be to resort to such means?

I have to avoid him from now on.

"Little General Cao, we don't want to chase the intruder too fast." Ning Wu persuaded Cao Bianjiao, who had a murderous look on his face, "Don't fall into the scheme of the hammer bandit."

Cao Bianjiao only felt angry in his heart, he hated playing such tricks on the battlefield the most.

If you have the ability, come out and do it with real swords and guns, or you will die!
A real man is never afraid of blood on the battlefield, so he is worthy of the court and His Majesty.

"I'll be careful."

After Cao Wenzhao finished making arrangements, he summoned the people around him to report the intruder's movements.

In any case, after Gao Yingxiang lost a battle, he shouldn't have run away when he got the strongest reinforcements among the rebels.

"There must be fraud in this matter, but I haven't figured it out yet."

Cao Wenzhao looked at the generals below and asked: "Linfen is an empty city, can we enter?"

Romance of the Three Kingdoms is still very popular in Ming Dynasty.

Therefore, most of the generals are familiar with the empty city strategy.

The only difference is that Zhuge Liang was really playing the piano at the top of the city.

Now Gao Yingxiang didn't even leave a single person playing the piano, what was presented was an empty city.

This plan, looks like, doesn't look like either!

All the generals were thinking, but the guerrilla general Feng Ju cupped his hands and said:
"Master, is He Jinzhao just waiting for our army to occupy Linfen?"

"Well, go ahead and talk."

Encouraged, Feng Ju analyzed: "Linfen County may have a secret passage leading to the outside of the city, but Gao Yingxiang ran away openly.

The hammer gangsters didn't immediately build a pontoon bridge to cross the river and settle in Linfen. Gao Yingxiang wanted to run away, so could he not give He Jinzhao time to react?
They both wore a pair of trousers in Shanxi, how could they break up?

I made it clear that I was waiting for us to go in and make plans. I can hear their abacus clanging from here. The empty city of Linfen County is designated as a trap! "

"It makes sense, it makes sense." Cao Wenzhao stood up, pointing at Feng Ju again and again: "You can see through He Jinzhao's strategy at a glance."

"Master, when the time comes, we will settle in Linfen County, and the high-ranking thief will kill another carbine." Wang Xingshan, the deputy commander, added, "This city is absolutely forbidden."

"What do you think?"

Listening to Cao Wenzhao's words, Yang Jiamo, who had been pretending to be deaf and dumb, immediately shook his head and said, "I won't enter the city."

"Yes, sir, this is just a trick, we can't exploit it."

Cao Wenzhao settled down, waved his hands quickly and said, "No, since we know this is a trap, then we have to enter the city."

"what?"

All the generals were startled by Cao Wenzhao's words, knowing that it was a trap, they jumped into it.

Master, is he out of his mind?

Even if he was almost beaten to death by He Jinzhao, he didn't want to take revenge, save face, and just cooperate with He Jinzhao's schemes.

"Master, are we really going into the city?"

Cao Wenzhao narrowed his eyes slightly: "If you enter this city, you will not enter!"

Everyone was confused and did not understand Cao Wenzhao's intention.

"Please tell the master."

"Since it's a trap, there is a way out." Cao Wenzhao stood up and took a few steps:

"First of all, the intruder wanted to kill the carbine, so I asked my nephew to drive the intruder two hundred miles away, so that it would be impossible for him to kill the carbine.

Second, hammer bandit He Jinzhao obviously also knows the secrets of Linfen County, if the high bandit doesn't come, he has to do it himself.

Even if he enters the city from a secret path, we can give him a counter-ambush. "

After listening to Cao Wenzhao's analysis, Wang Xingshan and others nodded repeatedly. This is indeed the truth.

Cao Wenzhao looked at the silent Yang Jiamo, his own luck was not very good, but this person's luck was even worse.

That being the case, if he chooses not to enter the city, he will enter the city himself.

Use his bad luck to offset his own bad luck, so as to get good luck.

Of course Yang Jiamo didn't know that Cao Wenzhao had listed him as a ghost on the battlefield.

At this time, he only wanted to return to Hejin quickly, and then return to Shaanxi by boat to recuperate. Even if the flood has passed for more than a month, not everyone can get out.

"Master Cao, I want to take my servant back to Hejin first, and let Yang Qi quickly march to help you after Yang Qi enters Hejin, how about that?"

Hearing that Yang Jiamo was going to take him away, Cao Wenzhao nodded quickly:

"Since you insist on leaving, I won't stop you. After three days, when the intruder really walks two hundred miles away, you can walk back along the Fenshui River. How about it?"

Yang Jiamo was silent for a while, and then responded: "Alright, then I will wait for three days."

Cao Wenzhao heaved a sigh of relief, looked around at the generals and said with a smile, "Who will take the initiative to step on this trap now?"

His most proud confidant has already been sent out, Cao Wenzhao immediately pointed to one person and said:

"Bai Guangen, my master sent you into the city to find tunnels, do you dare to respond?"
