June 1st, midnight.
The upper reaches of Qianwei County.
Qian Qiuxue recruited forty passenger and cargo ships from the county to slowly go down the river in the dark, approaching the Qianwei water boundary. On board the ship were a thousand troops who had arrived for temporary training in the past few days. In order to keep it secret from the outside world, Zhang Ren only described the boarding operation as a night sailing exercise for the navy, and the entire army wore white training shirts. This training shirt is actually also an eye-catching identification mark of our side in night battles.
Qian Qiuxue looked in the direction of Jianwei City nervously.
The tactics formulated by Fei Shi Yang Hong were very simple. After "an unknown bandit army" raided Jianwei City and caused huge chaos, Qian Qiuxue's training fleet "just happened to be passing by and found out", so they immediately launched an attack in the name of "protecting the people and driving away thieves". Rush over and "take over" Jianwei City!
This reason is easy to explain to Chengdu. This reception, of course, is to join the "thief army" in a two-pronged attack to destroy or drive away Ren Qi, the governor of Jianwei.
Anyway, Ren Qi has been fighting against Liu Yan, and he can't deal with the Yellow Turban Army in the territory, let alone a pangolin running amok. He has no way to do it. People are not very optimistic about it, so Qian Qiuxue is the most suitable person to replace him.
In addition, the night before yesterday, Qian Qiuxue sent Zhang Ren to kill the boss of the Cao Gang, which temporarily removed the biggest obstacle on the river - as for the responsibility for killing the boss, it was still left to "an unknown bandit army".
Therefore, there are really many benefits to pretending to be a bandit. Even if everyone knew it, they couldn't figure it out. It's no wonder that Liu Yan asked his subordinate Zhang Lu to pretend to be a bandit and kill the imperial messenger.
Then only the Yellow Turban Army is left, and the winning rate of this battle is 73%!
At this time, the blazing fire in the direction of Qianwei illuminated half of the night sky.
Qian Qiuxue was overjoyed: "Mr. Fei, Mr. Yang, have you succeeded?"
Fei Shi nodded: "With such a fire, how can we not only succeed? Let's go into the water and take over!"
Qian Qiuxue immediately ordered: "The whole team raises the sails and launches into the water at full speed!"
For a moment, the sails and oars moved together, and the fleet rushed downstream like an arrow from the string!
Close! I could see more clearly. The fire in Jianwei City was soaring into the sky, and the smoke was billowing. The rising fire reflected the surface of the river red. It was like the river was full of red! !
Fei Shi was surprised and said: "This is burning tung oil. This bandit army went directly into the tung oil warehouse of Jianwei Shipyard!"
Qian Qiuxue asked: "What is that?"
Fei Shi said: "After the hull of the wooden boat is built, it must be repeatedly painted with thick tung oil and exposed to the sun for several months to prevent water leakage, moths and deformation. The scale of the Jianwei Shipyard is second only to the Jiangzhou Shipyard and can be called Xichuan Secondly, the inventory of tung oil is also quite large.”
Yang Hong smiled and said, "Wooden barrels and basins also need to be painted with tung oil. It's the same principle."
Qian Qiuxue's confidence increased greatly when she understood: "It seems that this bandit army is very familiar with Jianwei?"
Yang Hong nodded: "Actually, they arrived last night, but waiting until tonight to take action can be said to be a deliberate move."
At this time, Zhang Ren's majestic roar resounded across the river: "The whole army listens to the order! Get ready to go ashore to drive away the thieves! Anyone who doesn't obey the order will be killed! Anyone who acts without authorization will be killed! Anyone who escapes from the battle will be killed!"
With this roar, a chilling atmosphere immediately enveloped the fleet!
Qian Qiuxue couldn't help but feel a chill in her heart. Zhang Ren has always felt like a silent and considerate big brother, but I have never had the chance to see him actually leading troops. Now that she has seen the true majesty of Zhang Ren, Qian Qiuxue has higher expectations for the winning rate of this group of new servants.
Just when the fleet was about to dock, a few lanterns suddenly lit up on the river bank, and a group of voices shouted: "Sister 1!! Don't shoot arrows, we are on our own!!"
Qianqiu Xue was stunned: "Brother Snake?"
"Yes! Yes! I am Brother Snake, and there is Mr. Peng here!"
A scribe in black with a star ring under his feet appeared from the darkness: "Nan'an County Magistrate may sit on the water, General Zhang will lead the troops and follow me!"
Zhang Yi smiled and said: "Mr. Peng calls me? I'll go too!"
Qian Qiuxue was anxious, she was obviously calling Zhang Ren, brother! But at this moment, when the entire army is mobilizing its murderous intent, there is no room for jokes.
Qian Qiuxue could only say: "General Zhang Yi must be careful!"
Yang Hong smiled lightly: "Then leave it to the generals at the front. I'll just wait and sit on the shore."
Qian Qiuxue thought about it. After all, there were many charlatans and warlocks in Qianwei City, and it was not convenient for him, a rookie player, to show off in the chaos.
So Qian Qiuxue called to the Snake Brother players: "Get aboard and report what's going on!"
Brother Snake got on the boat all of a sudden. When he saw two scribes and generals in the cabin, he couldn't help but be stunned, and then immediately bowed down: "As expected of a sister, she has many capable people around her! I have met Mr. Fei!" "
We are all players, why are we praying?
But Qian Qiuxue was really impressed by the player's bow: "Sit tight and let's talk."
Brother Snake said excitedly: "After the big boss of our gang lay down the night before yesterday, I guessed that the first sister must be doing something big in the next two days. All the brothers worked hard day and night to prepare for it. Sure enough, last night we discovered that someone had entered the city. When I met this Mr. Peng in black, he had a unique temperament, so my brother knew it must be him, so I bowed to him immediately!"
Qianqiu Xue was stunned: "You guys are still good at reading faces? Why is he different?"
Brother Snake said happily: "With an arrogant temperament and nostrils pointing upward, this is a person who has great ability to cause trouble!"
Fei Shi, Yang Hong and Li Mi couldn't help laughing: "As expected of Mr. Peng! He really dares to enter the city in person!"
Brother Snake got excited: "Then we led him the way and visited all the sentries, granaries, weapons depots, barracks, gang stations, gambling dens, and shipyards in the city."
Qian Qiuxue said, "You mean Brother Snake has done a good job in leading the way?"
Brother Snake immediately waved his hand: "No effort, no effort! Later I found out that he was more familiar with us, so we became errand boys. If we really did anything, we helped him spread rumors in the city about the giant pangolin. Appearing outside the city, he attracted the prefect to mobilize his troops."
Qian Qiuxue was very satisfied: "Brother Snake, they say you are slippery, but do you really listen to these words of yours?"
Brother Snake was extremely humble: "My slickness is insulting other people's intelligence. In front of the first sister, I am just a younger brother and I will tell the truth."
Qian Qiuxue suddenly found that the more she looked at him, the more pleasing she became. Sure enough, as long as she was loyal, looks didn't matter.
Qian Qiuxue asked again: "Why did you show him the gang stationed in the gambling house?"
Brother Snake said: "Of course I will use his outside power to help Sister Yi kill the gangsters in the city undercover. Then it will be easier for me to take over."
Qian Qiuxue nodded: "I understand, then go to the city to finish the work. Try to rescue a few more gang members and consolidate the gang's foundation."
Brother Snake was pleased to hear this: "Yes, our people are all members of the First Sister, and they will help the First Sister stabilize the base of the lower-tier people. Then we go to the city, and the First Sister will wait for the good news."
…
Qian Qiuxue didn't wait long, and the fire and noise in the city began to subside.
Zhang Yi rushed back like a gust of wind, holding something in his hand and laughing loudly: "The entire city's defense has been taken over by our army. Ren Qi ran away. His seal of governor is left in the Yamen. I brought it to you." .”
Fei Shi stood up and smiled: "Congratulations to the county magistrate for successfully capturing Jianwei!"
Yang Hong said with a smile: "I'm afraid that when the news reaches Chengdu, he will be the acting prefect."
Qian Qiuxue held the prefect's seal. She really couldn't believe it. Is it so easy to win a city...
