After the Fairy Disappeared

  Chapter 263 Closed meeting

  He didn't know about the murder case that happened in the town, but he recognized Hong Chenglue. At this moment, he showed surprise: "Hong Chenglue, why did you come here?"

  Hong Cheng said with a smile: "Someone asked me to find you."

   "Ah, who?"

   "Liu Yalin."

  The boy whose head was beheaded first was Liu Yalin. Chen Youyu was startled, and said angrily, "What nonsense are you talking about!"

   "He said to walk slowly and wait for you to go on the road together."

  Chen Youkuo's subordinates said angrily: "Keep your mouth clean!" Holding up the scabbard, he was about to slap the tall man in the mouth.

   Then he flew upside down.

  The tree trunks that were as thick as a bowl 1 zhang away were all broken.

  The official had already vomited three liters of blood while in the air, and he lost his breath immediately after landing. A big hole was sunken in his chest, just enough to hold a fist.

  Chen Youkuo's other subordinate could not be called utterly loyal, so he stepped back two steps before shouting, "Boss, be careful..."

   As soon as he spoke, something flew towards him, expanded rapidly in his field of vision, and then hit him in the face.

   This man fell on his back.

   It was the first victim's knife with a scabbard that knocked him down.

  Chen Youkui realized that he was afraid, and he drew out his waist knife and shouted, "What are you doing! I am acting impartially, and those three people should be executed according to the law!"

  Hong Chenglue said grimly: "This June, you did nothing to suppress the bandits, but in the end, you captured the good people of Jiulinggou to make a contribution. Is this also according to the law?"

   "What's the matter? You don't want blood..."

   With a soft whistling sound, Chen Youyu interrupted his voice, and stared at Hong Chenglue in a daze. The latter ignored him, turned and walked towards the carriage.

  After he took three steps, Chen Youyu's upper body suddenly slipped down.

  From the left chest to the right rib, he was cut open in a neat section.

  Seeing that his legs were still standing on the ground, Chen Youyu screamed heart-piercingly. Blood gushed out, wetting the sand beneath him.

   Cutting in half may not necessarily kill you instantly. If you have a little more breath, you may have to toss and turn a cup of tea and suffer a lot before you can die.

  Hong Chenglue got into the car and glanced out the window: "Let's go."

  Killing someone casually to open a knife can be regarded as an end to this past.

  Wu Qing clapped his hands and praised: "General Hong's sword is not old." He watched for a moment, but he didn't see clearly how Hong Chenglue made the sword.

  Hong Cheng slightly smiled: "I'm the youngest?"

   Without the shackles of the oath, he only felt relaxed.

   This is called living.

  The past few years, but the walking dead.

   An hour later, the carriage arrived at Wujiazhuang.

  This Zhuangzi is hidden near the forest farm, far away from the official road. Except for lost travelers, almost no students will approach casually.

  Although it is called a "village", it is actually a stockade, with a whole circle of barbed poles outside to keep out the robbers and bandits.

  Wu Qing showed up and shouted, and someone from the village came out to move the horse-rejecting post for the carriage to enter.

  Hong Chenglue got out of the car, and under the guidance of Wu Qing, he settled his wife in the nearest cabin.

  Although the house is small, it has all the facilities. It is much better than his dilapidated house in Bailu Town. Even the burning charcoal basin at the end of the bed is a ground stove with stone guardrails around it.

  Although the dozens of large or small wooden houses here are quiet, Hong Chenglue can still feel that there are people inside.

   After he settled his wife, Wu Qing led him to the wooden house in the middle.

  As soon as the door opened, more than ten people inside stood up at the same time.

  Wu Qing introduced: "Everyone, this is General Hong whom the master has been thinking about." Then he said to Hong Chenglue, "We sneaked into Xiazhou. These are the leaders of each team."

  The two sides salute each other.

  Hong Chenglue also noticed that there was a blue-robed scribe sitting in the corner, with a mask on his face, who neither made a sound nor got up to salute, and squatted a brown-haired monkey beside his knee.

   I don’t know what species it is, but it’s a lot bigger and stronger than ordinary monkeys. While rubbing its hands to warm the fire, it also pushed a few chestnuts towards the fire, which was very spiritual.

Wu Qing sat down both sides, and then said: "Three of our teams were intercepted by the Xiazhou army. They magnified the record ten times and boasted everywhere. The people of Xiazhou were deeply fooled, thinking that the new general manager brought a new atmosphere. By the way, The Xinzhou official in Xiazhou has arrived, called He Chunhua, and Marshal Nian has a feud with him. Now the news has been sent to Marshal Nian, and he ordered us to try to cut off the grain road."

   "Spring is coming soon. If Zhao Pan's army can survive this spring and wait for the summer grain harvest, it will be even more difficult to push the front line south."

  Even if Wu Qing didn't make a statement, everyone here is very clear that Yuanbei's battle results were much lower than expected. Wu Qing looked at Hong Chenglue, "General Hong, my master recommended you to Marshal Nian. Marshal Nian hopes that you will lead the next action."

hope? Nian Zanli just wanted to test his fineness. Hong Cheng nodded slightly: "Okay, is there a sand table?"

   Immediately, someone took out a square box, spread it out and placed it on the table.

   It is obvious that this is a magic weapon. It looks like a tea tray when it is closed, but it can cover the table when it is spread out. The sand inside is also quickly formed, piled up into the terrain of the entire Xiazhou.

   "Where did you lose in the last three wars?"

Wu Qing broke a branch and clicked three times on the map: "Our Sanlu Ranger was ambushed at these locations. The Xiazhou government posted a notice that the two leading generals were He Chunhua's men, named Zhao Qinghe, Wu Shaoyi. As far as I know, Wu Shaoyi was originally from Hong Xiangqian's old department, and was later recruited by He Chunhua, and there is no specific information on the other Zhao Qinghe."

   "Xiazhou's officers and soldiers' fighting strength was broken, and they should not have been defeated by them." Hong Chenglue has lived in Xiazhou for several years, and he knows exactly who the local officers and soldiers are. Fake heads, vacancies, and stealing chickens and fishes are all fun to do, but they will die when they go to the battlefield.

  As soon as these words came out, the generals were a little embarrassed.

"The main reason for our defeat last time was that we were caught off guard." Hong Chenglue was already hesitant, "Since we sent out rangers, there are too many 300 people in each team, so we need to be more streamlined, otherwise people will notice when we come and go. report to the local area.” Xiazhou is not a prairie, and three hundred people still have to eat, drink, and sleep. It’s too conspicuous to come and go.

   "How do you want to coordinate?"

   "We have more than one stronghold in Xiazhou, isn't it?" Hong Chenglue said, "Break it into pieces, and each team should have no more than ten people, pretending to be a business traveler to go to the city and countryside to inquire about news.

   Someone said: "I heard that the new state official has some tricks to get a lot of military funds, and he keeps escorting the front line." Otherwise, why is Marshal Nian upset?

"I delivered a batch ten days ago, and two carts of grain were stolen by several villagers passing through Bailu Town. It can be seen that the guards are lax." Hong Chenglue clicked on the sand table a few times, "Transporting grain from south to north, regardless of the early stage No matter how you go, you can't get around the three thoroughfares of Bailu Town, Xinhuang, and Jiaziguan."

  Wu Qing nodded: "Yes, He Chunhua's army attacked our army in Xinhuang and won the victory, and saved that batch of food and grass."

   All the generals looked at each other: "Are we going to sit and wait in these three places?" Even if we choose one of the three, the chance of betting on the wrong one is not small.

   "Not bad." Hong Chenglue said, "Under the premise of insufficient information, a stupid way is a good way. How many people do we have?"

  Wu Qing said a number.

   "Okay, keep Bailu Town and Xinhuang separately, abandon Jiazai Pass, and send spies disguised as businessmen to enter. This time we will be ambushed by food and grass."

  A general asked suspiciously: "Abandon Jiazi Pass?"

"I have been to Jiaziguan, where the official road has been in disrepair for many years, it is very difficult to walk, and the defense is lacking, and there are many bandits. If I were a grain transport officer, I would not choose that road; The land, the official road is straight and level, and the distance between the two places is only forty miles, so it is convenient to ask for help.” Hong Chenglue analyzed, “Besides, we are short of manpower. If we want to concentrate our advantages, we should stick to the two routes of Bailu Town and Xinhuang. .”

   All the generals responded in unison.

  Hong Chenglue has been in the battlefield for a long time, and they may not be convinced when they know that he has come by airborne to make irresponsible remarks. Besides, how can we be sure in war?

  As long as you win, everything you say is right.

   Then everyone discussed and made some detailed arrangements.

   Two days later, Wu Qing hurried out and came back again, and reported to Hong Chenglue: "Our eyeliner in Dunyu sent a message that more than 900 grain trucks from the south have arrived in Qingping Township!"

  This military meeting ended after dark.

  Wu Qing is a businessman who is only in charge of intelligence and logistics and does not participate in direct combat.

  He was just about to count the horses and medicines, when a soldier came over suddenly: "Master Wu, General Hong's wife is here to invite you."

  Wu Qing was surprised, pointed to her nose and asked, "Is she looking for me?"

"Yes Yes."

   "But what's not well planned?"

   "The villain doesn't know."

  At this moment, Hong Chenglue was presiding over the military discussion. Wu Qing thought about it and went to Hong Chenglue's residence.

  The door was closed, and he knocked lightly: "Ma'am?"

   A Jin's voice came from inside: "Please come in."

  Wu Qing went inside and saw that Ah Jin was leaning against the head of the bed, covered with a quilt and pillows on his waist. The charcoal basin at the end of the bed was burning vigorously, and the room was like spring. Because of the food and the warmth of charcoal, her complexion was much rosier than before she fled, and her eyes also regained a bit of aura.

   "Ma'am, but is there a place where the hospitality is not good?"

   "No, everything is fine." Ah Jin said softly, "I heard that Mr. Wu is planning the supplies for the entire team?"

   "Yes, I have to take care of the eating and drinking of these hundreds of people."

   "I would like to ask Mr. Wu to find something for me." A Jin said, "I heard from Hong Lang that the scouts of the Beja country and the spies who sneaked into the enemy country used to carry this with them. Mr. Wu also has it?"

   Then she asked for something, Wu Qing's face changed drastically when she heard it, and she waved her hands desperately: "No, no! If I dare to give you this thing, General Hong will chop me up."

   "In case of emergencies." A Jin sighed softly, "If there is a good life and hope of recovery, how can I not think about it?"

  Wu Qing refused to say anything.

A Jin looked at the sky, afraid that Hong Chenglue would come back at this time, so he said with a dark face: "If you refuse, I will tell Hong Lang that you despised me, insulted me behind my back, and threatened to throw me into the ravine. "
