Luan Qingshan turned around and walked towards Beiwu Town. In the small village of Li Tong, because no one goes out for many days, we often remember the wrong date. I figured it was time for Feng Hui to lead people into Beiwu Town. When I was shopping for food at the grass market, I asked someone and found out that it was still two days away.
Walking along the Ru River, the buildings of Beiwu Town have appeared in front of you. Suddenly, a man holding a cow on the side of the road said, "Isn't that the good guy who fought with Dong Observer's people at the dock a few days ago? Why is his leg rotten?"
Country people talk loudly. It was originally a chat between two people, but it reached Luan Qingshan's ears.
Watching the two people walking away while talking, Luan Qingshan couldn't help but stop. There was a big battle a few days ago, but I didn't expect that the people in Beiwu Town would actually remember what I looked like. If he entered Beiwu Town like this, wouldn't Dong Ping send someone quickly?
After thinking again and again, Luan Qingshan turned around and walked back the way he came. Went to a roadside inn, bought some cooking cakes, a piece of meat, and a gourd of wine, and then left the road. Arriving in the wilderness near Beiwu Town, we found a deserted ditch and sat down to eat meat and drink wine. Wait until it gets dark and you can no longer see the faces of people on the road before entering Beiwu Town.
In the courtyard, Dong Ping sat on a high chair and listened to several of his subordinates reporting on the situation outside.
One said: "In the past few days, more than a dozen foreigners have come to the town. If they don't bring goods, they must not be businessmen."
Another said: "The day before yesterday, someone found traces of pots buried in the woods on the bank of the Ru River. There were a lot of people. I went to see it in person. There should be one or two hundred people. Yesterday I went to the store in the town. I went to ask, and it turns out that there are indeed people buying meat and wine in the past two days, and all the goods in the store were sold out at once. Observation, it seems that many people have come to Beiwu Town!"
Dong Ping said: "Could they be traveling merchants? If they bring a large amount of goods, there will be many porters. There are many people who sell forbidden goods from us, or they are afraid of living in the town and being charged by us."
The speaker shook his head repeatedly: "If they are merchants, where will they cross the river? All the nearby ferries are with us."
Dong Ping frowned and said slowly: "Could it be that Wang Guanwan wants to send someone to deal with me?"
The speaker said: "If Wang Observation simply sends a large army across the river, how can we resist it? Furthermore, with hundreds of troops, it is impossible that there will be no movement on the other side of the river. Observation, I heard that there is a group of strongmen entrenched in the south of Beiwu Town. , not far from us.”
After hearing this, Dong Ping said angrily: "Who is so bold! In the past few years, I have only been afraid of Wang Xiaolie, who else would dare to come!"
The speaker sighed: "Wang Kuan of Xiangyang has an army of tens of thousands, which is no longer what it used to be. I heard that Wang Kuan runs the army very strictly, and there are many deserters in the army. Wang Kuan doesn't care about the hundreds and thousands of deserters. .But for us, it is a strong enemy.”
After hearing this, Dong Ping was stunned. Yes, I am only afraid of one Wang Xiaolie, and I am not afraid of anyone else. But Wang Xiaolie couldn't afford to offend any deserters from his army. Let alone others, Xihua's Peng Jinyuan himself knows how difficult it is to deal with.
After being silent for a long time, Dong Ping said: "Go and find out who the person is! If it doesn't work, arrest two of the strangers who came to the town in the past two days! All kinds of torture instruments are used, I don't believe it and I can't find out!"
Several subordinates said yes together.
When he arrived at the inn and asked, he found that all the people suspected were not there. When I asked the waiters in the shop, they all said that I went out in the afternoon. They didn't check out the guest room, it wasn't like they left.
After several people discussed it, they all felt that it was not such a coincidence. Just when I came to arrest them, they were all gone. Could it be that the news was leaked? Go back and report to Dong Ping. Dong Ping directs his men to check back and forth among his own men.
In the woods outside Beiwu Town, Feng Hui stood on a mound of dirt. He said loudly: "After searching for many days, there is still no news about Luan Qingshan. I heard that he was injured a lot that day, and finally jumped into the Ru River. He probably lost his life. We can't wait any longer, and we will do it tonight! Three hundred people When we arrived at Beiwu Town, no matter how careful we were, there were still many traces. In the past two days, Dong Ping's men were suspicious of the people we sent to the town. If we wait for another two days, if they are cruel and arrest people for torture, they will probably Ask for news from us!”
Ren Xing, who was standing next to him, said: "Most of Dong Ping's soldiers and horses are in Beiwu Town, with nearly five hundred people. Three hundred people have set up camp outside the town, and there are more than a hundred people in Mengzhai Town in the south. Dong Ping's There are more than a hundred people in the house, and there are many soldiers. How can we fight?"
Feng Hui said: "These people are just a mob, how can they compare with the army? I don't care about the soldiers and horses in other places, nor the ones outside the town. We will attack Dong Ping's mansion tonight! Some of the people who defected to Dong Ping before were from the army. These days After some effort, eight people are willing to join us. At dusk, I will send someone to contact them and be our vanguard!"
Ren Xingdao: "If our attack fails, and soldiers and horses from outside the town come from behind, it will be bad."
Feng Hui laughed after hearing this: "If Dong Ping had such ability, he would not be driven to Wuyang! Don't worry, as long as we make careful arrangements and rush through the door of Dong Ping's house, the matter will be done! Outside the town Soldiers and horses may join us tomorrow!"
Ren Xing thought for a while, nodded, and said nothing more.
Indeed, fighting a force like Dong Ping is not necessarily the same as fighting a marching army. As long as Dong Ping comes, most of his remaining troops will surrender. There is an army that will fight to the death, why do they have to mess up to this point?
With three hundred troops and horses, if the two armies formed an array, Feng Hui was confident that Dong Ping would not be his opponent. Most of his men are soldiers in Wang Xiao's hunting army and have received formal training. Not to mention Dong Ping, the current general army is no match for them. But on the other side of the Ru River is Wang Xiaolie. If the two armies fight, it is likely to cause disaster.
Wang Xiaolie does not need to occupy these places, and he will never allow the army to exist. Dong Ping's hundreds of men were actually a mob. They had little fighting power in front of the regular army, which Wang Xiaolie could tolerate. If it were the army, I'm afraid it wouldn't work.
As a habit developed in Wang Xiao's hunting army, Feng Hui drew a map of Beiwu Town on the ground. Make detailed arrangements on how to advance the troops tonight, who will be the vanguard, who will be the main force, and who will be the rearguard, all arranged properly. Even the military camp outside the town arranged fifty people to guard the only way they could enter Beiwu Town. The defense of Dong Ping's residence has been figured out for a long time, and everyone has someone to deal with it.
Finally, Feng Hui said: "I will bring eighty people with me to attack Dong Ping's house with the main force. After entering the house, I will stay in the front yard as a reserve team for tonight's attack. If you encounter difficulties, you must report to me in time! Who is delayed? The matter shall be dealt with by military law!”
Everyone crossed their hands and made a promise.
Feng Hui said: "We left the military camp to fight for wealth! Dong Ping traveled across several nearby states and robbed countless homes in the past few years. His home can be said to be a mountain of gold and silver. As long as we capture it, we will have a lot of money. In addition to the previous The cotton we robbed in a few days will have good days in the future! If everyone works hard, we will have money and people in the future!"
