"How could Zhu Ji be caught?"
A flash of panic flashed in Cen Hangui's eyes, and he asked sharply: "Li San and the others were not only lurking in Li Jing's army before, but they also spread many rumors without being discovered."
"And Zhu Jicai has only been there for two hours, and he was protected by Li San and others. How could he be discovered? Did you hear wrongly?"
Seeing the angry look on his face, the sentry rider said tremblingly: "This...this news is...from the spy...little...little... .....Not very clear...Clear!"
Hearing this, Cen Hangui's face became even more angry, and he shouted loudly: "Since we haven't found out clearly, why do you come to report? I think you are impatient!"
"Someone, give it to me..."
"alright!"
Just when Cen Hangui was about to deal with the sentry rider, Mr. Zou Da stopped him and then said to the sentry rider: "Besides this, is there any other news?"
The sentry rider glanced at Cen Hangui in panic. Seeing that he no longer had an attack, he looked at Mr. Zou Da gratefully and said, "Not yet, but I heard that Li Jing is reorganizing his army, and it seems that he wants to attack with the whole army."
"Army attack?"
Mr. Zou Da frowned slightly and asked, "Will any troops leave during this period?"
The sentry rider shook his head and said, "No!"
Mr. Zou Da muttered: "That's not right, what if..."
As soon as he spoke, he stopped immediately and said to the sentry: "Pass on my military order and have all the lurking spies and sentries dispatched to find out Chongzhen's whereabouts at all costs!"
After the sentry rider bowed in agreement, he bowed to Cen Hangui reluctantly and hurried out.
Mr. Zou Da was silent for a while, and then said to Cen Hangui, who was in a daze at the side: "Major General, please rush to the army immediately and let them return as soon as possible!"
Cen Hangui was stunned for a moment, nodded and said: "Okay, I will go immediately!"
But although he agreed, his feet did not move.
When Mr. Zou Da saw this, he said with some dissatisfaction: "Major General, do you have any other questions?"
Cen Hangui asked and said hesitantly, "No...no, I'm just a little worried!"
"Because Zhu...Li Jing's affairs in the army have not yet been found out, but you not only canceled the ambush plan, but also dispatched all the lurking spies."
"Not only will our previous preparations be in vain, but the spy may also be exposed..."
When Mr. Zou Da heard this, a flash of anger flashed in his eyes, and he shouted in a deep voice: "Major General, you are not awake yet!"
"Why did you object to Zhu Ji going there before? Was it because you were afraid that you would make meritorious deeds?"
"No, I'm just worried that Zhu Ji's eagerness for success will ruin things!"
"You must know that Lu Jiude wanted to put Zhu Yousong on the throne, and the biggest obstacle to Zhu Yousong's accession to the throne was Chongzhen. As Zhu Ji's confidant, even if the chance of the assassination being successful was only one in 10,000, he would Execute at all costs.”
"This is why I am against you, but you insist on going your own way and hide it from me..."
Cen Hangui became more and more excited when he saw Mr. Zou Da talking. He was afraid that Mr. Zou would do something extreme in anger, so he accused him repeatedly, but the resentment in his heart became even heavier.
Seeing this, Mr. Zou Da shook his head, suppressed the anger in his heart, and said as calmly as possible: "It doesn't matter whether Zhu Ji is captured now, because as long as he takes action, Chongzhen will definitely notice something strange, and it is only time to capture him. question."
As he spoke, seeing that Cen Hangui was still dissatisfied, he said calmly: "However, his quarrel is not entirely without merit. You must know that Chongzhen was suspicious. After the sudden assassination, he would definitely be suspicious of Li Jing's troops. Shouldn't he?" I will bring this army back to the capital."
"In order to relieve the crisis in the capital, he may rush to Shanhaiguan to mobilize troops. This can also buy us some time, but..."
As he spoke, seeing that Cen Hangui still did not repent, he said to the two strong men standing like javelins at the entrance of the cave: "Guosheng, go tell Mr. Long and let him lead the victorious army to clear out Li Jing's trap in the mountain."
Secret whistle. "
"Guoyong, you rush to the army immediately and ask Mr. Guo to lead a thousand wolf soldiers south and block the road back to the capital as much as possible. If you encounter an open soldier, kill them all!"
The two men bowed in agreement and walked out quickly.
Hearing this, Cen Hangui was stunned and said, "Mr. Zou Da, since you think Chongzhen will go to Shanhaiguan, why don't you send troops to pursue him, but instead have people block the way back to Beijing?"
Mr. Zou Da glanced at Cen Hangui and said, "Although Chongzhen is suspicious, judging from his previous actions, he also likes to take risks, so we must be on guard!"
"As for the pursuit at Shanhaiguan, I'm going to let you go there in person, Major General. This way it won't be in vain for you to follow me. What do you think?"
When Cen Hangui heard this, his face immediately showed joy, and then he said hesitantly: "That's good, that's good. But if Chongzhen is assassinated here, he will definitely bring a large army to accompany him. I'm afraid..."
Before he could finish his words, Mr. Zou Da interrupted with a smile: "Major General, you can bring two thousand wolf soldiers there."
"In addition, Chongzhen may divide his troops and flee this time, but we have spies along the way. He will never be able to escape, so even if you spend more time, you must not divide your troops to avoid falling into the opponent's plan."
As he spoke, seeing Cen Hangui's worried look, he added, "Mr. Guo is determined to live in the mountains and is not a man of good reputation. If he makes a contribution this time, he will also be recorded in your name!"
Although Cen Hangui was happy, he repeatedly refused.
How could Mr. Zou Da fail to see that Cen Hangui's words were insincere, so he refused to accept them.
Cen Hangui pretended to decline again and rushed to the army with great satisfaction.
"Mr. Fan, please protect Cen Hangui secretly to prevent him from having an accident, and he will not be able to explain to Cen Maoren!"
After Mr. Zou Da waited for Cen Hangui to leave, he looked into a dark corner behind him and said.
As his words fell, an old man with a moral integrity slowly walked out of the darkness and said with some dissatisfaction: "This kid is so ignorant, I'm afraid he won't be well-raised, so why do you treat him so favorably?"
Mr. Zou Da smiled and said: "Although this is a disadvantage, it is also an advantage. Otherwise, we would not be able to truly control the wolf soldiers, so I will leave it to you!"
Mr. Fan nodded and said: "It's just a trivial matter, but it doesn't mean anything!"
"It's just that since Zhu Ji has been captured, this place is no longer safe. After the old man leaves, you have to move as soon as possible!"
Mr. Zou Da shook his head and said, "It doesn't matter. The reason why I moved them away is to wait for Chongzhen to come and capture him in time!"
Mr. Fan was a little surprised and said: "Chongzhen must be in a hurry to get away at this moment, so why would he come to get you personally?"
Mr. Zou Da said confidently: "Chongzhen is not a mediocre lord. The reason why he ordered Li Jing's entire army to set off was probably because he was afraid that we would attack secretly."
"If this is the case, then he will not act rashly before he has discovered our movements."
"If my prediction is correct, he will send out suspicious soldiers to disperse our forces while he hides in a safe place and observes secretly."
"Now that Zhu Ji is captured, based on common sense, we will definitely move. This is the safest place in Jizhou, so I guess he will lead his army here to avoid it temporarily, and then he can pass through us. The traces left behind, analyze our movements..."
Mr. Fan heard this and said, "If that's the case, then you need to leave as soon as possible!"
"You must know that Zhu Ji has been captured for a long time, Chongzhen will arrive at any time, and there are only more than a hundred people here, it is really dangerous!"
Mr. Zou Da shook his head and said: "Mr. Fan, there is no need to worry. I have already arranged for a spy. If Chongzhen comes, I will definitely know!"
"At this time, Cen Hangui has come to urge us. In less than half an hour, the remaining thousand wolf soldiers will arrive here."
"And even if Chongzhen comes, he should wait until Cen Hangui and others leave..."
Mr. Fan saw that what Mr. Zou Da said was reasonable, and also remembered that the other party had always calculated everything, so he nodded and said: "Okay, now that you have calculated everything, I can rest assured!"
After saying this, he bowed his head and left.
Mr. Zou Da looked at Mr. Fan’s leaving figure and was silent for a while.
Yes, he looked at the march map on the table again.
Half an hour later, the remaining thousand wolf soldiers arrived as promised.
Soon afterwards, the previous sentry came in and reported that before Li Jing's army set off, five troops and horses left quietly, and they all carried the banner of Chongzhen.
Mr. Zou Da felt more confident after hearing the report.
Then he checked the situation of the wolf soldiers' ambush again, and after confirming that everything was correct, he returned to the cave and waited for Chongzhen's arrival.
At this time, one of his guards hurriedly came to report that Cen Hangui had divided his troops into three groups to pursue the Ming soldiers.
When Mr. Zou Da heard this, a look of anger immediately flashed across his face.
