Although the information had not been confirmed, Wang Zamao was extremely excited and excited at this time. He thought it would take a lot of effort to track Bai Wang's whereabouts into the mountain, but he never expected that God would provide for him to directly meet Bai Wang. The two sent eyes and ears came to surrender and sold their approximate location.
God is really blessing him, Wang Zamao suppresses his inner madness. He knows that the closer he gets to this point, the more cautious he must be. As long as he is sure that the intelligence is reliable, he will use all his strength to capture Bai Wang, whether it is to trick him into surrendering or to attack by force. Capture and kill, the little eunuch said that no matter life or death, as long as Bai Wang is brought to him, the success will be certain, and his knighthood will be stable.
Therefore, the most important thing at the moment was to confirm the authenticity of the intelligence, so he sent several groups of troops to conduct reconnaissance, but he did not know that he had already fallen into Bai Wang's plan.
The spies sent out reported one after another that there were four or five large hills side by side in the south, about ten miles wide from east to west. However, they found traces of the rebels between each hill, and even small-scale conflicts, but they could not be sure. Where exactly is Bai Wang?
Wang Zamao was furious and scolded his subordinates for being useless, and called the two ears and eyes for detailed questioning, threatening them with skin and flesh cuts if they were found out. The two eyes and ears turned pale with fright, and swore to their hearts that they were telling no lies, at least when they came, Bai Wang was in a place called Shima Mountain. He drew a topographic map hastily on the ground as he spoke. Wang Zamao's spies all gathered around to take a look. During their reconnaissance, they had also encountered people who had been robbed by the bandits. The mountain people once asked carefully about the name of the nearby terrain. There are four or five large hills side by side in the south. I still vaguely remember the one in the west called Lianhua Mountain, Baojialing next to it, and Shima Mountain in the middle!
"Who is going to explore that Shima Mountain in the middle?" Wang Zamao roared, and several spies came over: "First, it's us. Although we have found traces, we can't be sure. After all, there are valleys everywhere here. It’s all in the woods, with hundreds or even thousands of people hiding everywhere, I feel like Bai Wang is setting up a trance formation!”
"Nonsense!" Wang Zamao shouted loudly: "I have followed him for so long and naturally I know that he is setting up a enchantment formation. He is either hiding in the mountains or setting a trap for us. Once he is introduced..."
"Then what should we do?" His subordinates all scratched their heads.
Wang Zamao bit his tongue and said: "If you don't enter the tiger's den, you won't get the tiger's cubs. Since we want to gain merit, we have to do some hard work, otherwise why would this huge benefit fall on our brothers!"
"We brothers are not afraid of doing hard work. The problem is that there are four or five valleys in front of us. Which one should we go in? If one accidentally goes to the wrong one, I'm afraid it won't be that difficult to figure it out!" Tang Hu, a close subordinate, frowned. said.
Wang Zamao was a little entangled and couldn't make a decision for a while. At this moment, his men came to report that there was a large army from the north of the mountain and was about to cross the water. Wang Zamao was surprised to see that it was already evening. He knew that those who were trying to grab the credit When I arrived, I was anxious and angry. I was anxious because I couldn't determine where Bai Wang was. I was angry because I was incompetent. The little eunuch helped him and specially let him enter the mountain in advance. But I was so stupid that I wasted half a day. The more I thought about it, the more I felt sorry. The trust and entrustment of the little eunuch.
"It depends on God's will. It depends on whether God will reward this meal." Wang Zamao knew that he could not delay any longer. When the large troops behind him came up, his chance of grabbing the food would be greatly reduced, so he gritted his teeth and decided. Walking through the hills of Shima Mountain in the middle, just in case, he divided his men into two groups, marching all the way over the mountains and advancing from the valley, so that if one side found the enemy or was attacked, they could be rescued in time.
Of course, he did not forget to take the two eyes and ears with him, threatening to kill them first if he turned around.
Baiwang is in Shima Mountain!
Indeed, he was digging a hole to bury Wang Zamao. In the same way, he also knew Wang Zamao very well. He was suspicious and fickle, and would do anything to achieve his goals. Judging from the news coming from his ears and eyes, it must be the little eunuch who opened the door for him. Because of the huge benefits, he would work so hard into the mountains to persuade him to surrender.
Persuade to surrender? Bai Wang thought it was ridiculous, maybe the trap was his real purpose.
If that's the case, then I'll bury and kill you first, and replenish some armaments by the way.
So after getting the information, he sent out several strands of bait to confuse Wang Zamao's spies so that they could not immediately determine their location. Then he took advantage of this opportunity to set up an ambush in the valley of Shima Mountain.
Just when he was about to lead Wang Zamao into a trap, he suddenly received a report from his eyes and ears: tens of thousands of officers and soldiers entered the mountain in large numbers. This made Bai Wang and Yuan Sanzhong stunned and stunned for a long time.
The young eunuch did not directly send troops to Anqing, nor did he wait too long to go into the mountains to pursue the enemy. He only rested for a day, and sent tens of thousands of people into the mountains at once. The purpose was very clear. He had to capture and kill him. give up!
If he didn't run away quickly, he would wait. With his current strength, he could still use the terrain to ambush, but if he was surrounded by tens of thousands of troops, he would only be slaughtered and would not be able to fight back.
"Commander, retreat first, my subordinates come down and hold him down." Yuan Sanzhong volunteered to come to the rear. Bai Wang knew that the critical moment of life and death had arrived, so he did not show too much pretentiousness. He told Yuan Sanzhong not to be obsessed with fighting and escape as soon as possible. Once they entered the deep mountains, it would not be so easy for them to pursue them. .
Bai Wang then withdrew the encirclement and fled southwards along the hills and valleys into the deep mountains. At this time, Wang Zamao didn't know that he had escaped and was only six or seven miles away from the encirclement.
But at this time, Wang Zamao became a little excited, because more and more traces were found in this hill. Based on his experience, he judged that they were not left by a small group of people, at least hundreds or more, so he faintly felt that he had been covered up. correct!
"Brothers, hold on tight, the big fish is just ahead." Wang Zamao looked up and saw that it was almost dusk and a little gloomy. He thought he could catch the opponent's tail before dark. Once it gets dark, it will be difficult to find traces, and even more The important thing is that those behind who are trying to gain credit are also entering the mountain. He must be fast, fast, fast!
Although I was a little anxious, I also knew that the troops in the rear would not be able to keep up with me for a while. After all, they had to conduct regular searches and reconnaissance after entering the mountains, and then make decisions. This would take a lot of time, but it was exactly my opportunity.
Just when Wang Zamao was urging his men to hurry up, he suddenly heard the warning signal ahead. He was overjoyed. He must have discovered something, so he rushed forward and met the first few explorers: "Boss, Yuan Sanzhong is here." He wants to see you ahead."
Yuan Sanzhong! Wang Zamao's eyes narrowed. He was very loyal to Bai Wang as his name suggests. Bai Wang might be nearby when he appeared here. Even if he wasn't there, he would catch the fish first and appetize it.
Wang Zamao immediately led his people there and saw Yuan Sanzhong leading dozens of people at a dangerous spot in the hills, looking down at him coldly at the lush woods behind him.
"Yuan Sanzhong, I won't talk nonsense to you. You just said that you will surrender or not. If you surrender, we will share the wealth. If you don't surrender, you will be buried here today." Wang Zamao said straight to the point.
Yuan Sanzhong smiled coldly: "I am a small leader who cannot stand the eyes of the imperial court. You must be doing this for Marshal Bai." Wang Zamao rolled his eyes: "It's good that you know. At this time, tens of thousands of troops have entered the mountains and are unable to fly. For the sake of us working together, I will show you the way and hand over Bai Wang. I will spare your life." And there will be generous rewards.”
"You are not ashamed of your words. You are just a small soldier in the bandit army and you dare to promise me a favor and ask Wang Tizhong to come and talk to me. Maybe I can give him a big credit." Yuan Sanzhong rolled his eyes much whiter than Wang Zamao. .
Wang Zamao was filled with joy and anger when he heard this. He could vaguely tell that things were turning around from Yuan Sanzhong's words, but he was so angry that Yuan Sanzhong dared to look down on him, so he yelled: "Why don't you mention the king's body? He is in front of me." I'll tell you the truth. I went into the mountains to hunt down Bai Wang on the orders of the governor of Dongchang. He promised me great benefits and gave me the right to make my own decisions. Yuan Sanzhong, all you have to do is hand over Bai Wang. Or you can capture him with me, and I guarantee that you will rise to prominence and never break your promise!"
"How could I ever trust you!" Yuan Sanzhong was slightly surprised. He didn't know that Wang Tizhong and Wang Zamao had already broken up, but he heard that the two were now at odds. He was even more surprised that the eunuch was still favored by his words. .
"Believe it or not! I don't have time to waste on you, so just tell me what you want to do, cooperate or oppose!" Wang Zamao was anxious, because there were tens of thousands of troops behind him to take credit, so he didn't worry about others. , what worries him is that there is a person in Wang Ti who has more experience in jungle warfare than him and understands Bai Wang well.
"Wang Zamao, I look down on you. You really can't make the decision on this matter right now! Because you don't have enough weight." Yuan Sanzhong snorted coldly: "You should understand what I mean!"
Wang Zamao was startled, but instead of being angry, he was happy: "You mean Bai Wang wants... what conditions does he have?"
"You can't make the decision. It's a waste of time to talk to you." Yuan Sanzhong looked disdainful: "This power is too great for you to swallow alone. Find someone qualified to talk to you!"
"Fart, I said that if you can do it, you can do it. The eunuch said before I entered the mountain, if Bai Wang surrenders, you will be treated as generously as Hao Yaoqi and Liu Tichun."
Yuan Sanzhong shook his head with a dark face: "The commander-in-chief doesn't like this thing, at least he must be side by side with Li Yan."
"Bah, he is so shameless!" Wang Zamao spat out: "Li Yan is now one of the pillars of the imperial court, and he has contributed to the imperial court. What did Bai Wang do? At this time, he is like a bereaved dog. Dead End is still daydreaming!”
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, let me just say you can't make the decision!" Yuan Sanzhong shook his head and smiled half-heartedly: "Business needs to be negotiated, but it must be done with someone who can make the decision. You Wang Zamao is not qualified, but you are qualified. It’s not trustworthy, so let’s stop talking nonsense and find someone who can make the decision, even if the eunuch can’t come in person, someone like Lu Daqi or Wu Sangui will do!”
"Ma De, you are forcing me to kill you!" Wang Zamao suddenly got angry. He couldn't stand being looked down upon by others, but Yuan Sanzhong looked calm: "Then you have to think clearly. The mountain ahead is not deep. Bottom line, Marshal Bai will rush in and look for him. Even if he kills us all, he will always be a major concern for the court as long as he lives. With Marshal Bai’s ability, he can rally his troops to rebel at any time, regardless of him. But sneak back to De'an from the mountains. You know that place. Zuo Liangyu has been fighting for several years to no avail. No matter how powerful the eunuch is, do you think he can get in? Even if he is defeated, we can still fight elsewhere. …”
"Why the hell don't you believe me!" Wang Zamao suddenly became hysterical, pulled out his sword and pointed it at Yuan Sanzhong and yelled: "If you don't believe me, ask Bai Wang to come over and talk to me!"
"Okay, Marshal Bai is right behind. Come and talk to him." Yuan Sanzhong calmly sneered and pointed toward the jungle behind him. Wang Zamao was stunned, swallowed hard and said, "You Think I’m stupid!”
Although Yuan Sanzhong only had a few dozen men, the mountains and forests behind him were so lush that no one knew how many ambushes there were. Wang Zamao did not dare to lead his troops in, let alone let him go in alone.
"Wang Zamao, although I have always looked down upon you, but now that the tiger is in peace and the dog is bullying me, I can only give you a great future against my will. If you don't want it, I will kill you. If you do, go back and find it. Let me talk to someone I can trust." He looked up at Zhengxi and said, "It's getting dark, I can't wait for you long."
Not only was it getting dark, but it was also going to rain. The sky was filled with dark clouds, making the entire mountain forest dark. Wang Zamao looked up at the sky and finally gave in. If he killed him, Bai Wang might really be able to escape. The mountain is gone, but if there is a peace negotiation with it, as long as it surrenders, I will still be the first to win!
Therefore, he wanted to send someone out immediately to inform the young eunuch to come, but he could not let Wang Tizhong or others interfere with this matter, otherwise there would be no more than two ounces of fat left in his mouth.
"Okay, you wait, I promise that you and Bai Wang will get what you want in two hours at most, but if you dare to play tricks on me, I swear that I will skin you even to the end of the world!" Wang Zamao said viciously, and then sent someone. Go to Chizhou City to inform the young eunuch, and tell him not to reveal the information to anyone.
Yuan Sanzhong smiled coldly, turned around and hid in the bushes behind him without saying anything. Wang Zamao then ordered his men to spread out and pretend to be still searching the mountain to confuse the friendly troops behind him. At the same time, he also had the foresight to send a few The confidants took advantage of the darkness to go back to the place behind Yuan Sanzhong to investigate the truth.
It was getting dark and the rain was falling. Wang Zamao opened his mouth and slurped at the rain, with a cheerful smile on his face.
