Chapter 373 The Silent Huilin Town

Lin'an City was quickly taken down by Shang Kexi, which was definitely something that everyone had not expected. Shang Kexi was naturally very excited. After Tie Mo, Xu Zhixin and others entered the city, they couldn't wait to meet him, "The commander, I am fortunate to be defeated and took down Lin'an City."

Shang Kexi was excited and said, looking at Tie Mo with his eyes deeply. Tie Mo hung his hand in the air, and his mouth twitched, "Thank you for your hard work, General Shang can rest well next."

"Ah?" Shang Kexi's face shivered, and he was a little confused. He was determined to take the opportunity to make a name for himself. The bandits were defeated from Lin'an City, and Gao Yingxiang and Li Zicheng's main army also retreated. It was time to take the courage to chase the bandits, why did he still rest? He was puzzled and naturally felt a little unhappy. "Supervisor, it's not possible. You Xu Mo will take an elite soldier, and Mo will guarantee to remove one of Gao Yingxiang's arm."

Shang Kexi wanted to say something, but Geng Zhongming in the crowd gave him a wink. Tie Mo didn't say much, waiting for him to take the people to the old palace in Lin'an. Shang Kexi dragged Geng Zhongming who was following behind and asked in a low voice: "Brother Geng, what's going on?"

Geng Zhongming looked around and saw that no one was paying attention to this place, so he patted Shang Kexi on the shoulder and said, "You, you're so anxious. You don't think about it. The bandits just retreated, and Yu Qian's foothold was not stable. It was a good time to pursue. Who doesn't understand such a simple thing? Do you, the Supervisor and Mr. Wang, don't understand? The Supervisor asked the troops of various units to rest in Lin'an City, and did not rush to use troops. Obviously, there are other arrangements for Qian."

"And, what can you do if you chase after me? Do you think the bandits will give you a chance? The bandits suffered losses in Yuhang and other places before and lost a lot of supplies. They didn't want to make the same mistake again. So, even if you want to fight, the bandits will not give you a chance. We can only wait now. Yu Qian doesn't need to fight, and the bandits will give it up. I think the supervisor must want to let the bandits go and wait until they get to the right place before taking action."

Geng Zhongming is extremely intelligent and has always had unique vision. Shang Kexi still trusts him very much. After thinking about it, he wondered: "According to your ideas, where do you think the supervisor will take action?"

"According to my ideas, coupled with the recent transfer of troops from various departments and Beijing camps, it is estimated that the supervisor will decide the winner with the bandits in Chizhou Prefecture." Geng Zhongming frowned slightly, his expression became a little serious. "There are relatively fewer lakes in Chizhou Prefecture and more flat land, which is the most suitable place for cavalry in this area. Starting a war in Chizhou Prefecture can maximize our advantages."

Geng Zhongming has had a deep understanding of the recent period. The Yunfu cavalry, who traversed the north, was like a young wife with a foot bound when they arrived in Jiangnan, and was restricted everywhere. Although Jiaxing Prefecture and Yuhang area conquered the bandits, they actually won all because of the mobilization of the troops and the opportunity to win. To be honest, there are actually very few, which leads to the bandits' casualties not too much. Geng Zhongming also knew that the real purpose of the Xuanfu army coming to Nanzhili was to scrap money, but if you don't hurt the bandits, it is almost impossible to scrape a few kilograms of meat from the bandits. The bandits entered Nanzhili, burned, killed, and looted, and most of the supplies they brought were held in the hands of Gao Yingxiang's troops. The seized before were small amounts.

After hearing Geng Zhongming's words, Shang Kexi also stopped pursuing. If Geng Zhongming didn't say it, he would really not be able to see through the tricks here. At this time, Tie Mo, Xu Zhixin and Wang Zuogao were discussing the specific plans for the next step.

It can be said that Shang Kexi took down Lin'an City too early, and his overall plan for Tiemo was not good news. According to the plan, the army should stay in Lin'an for two days. As long as Lin'an is not broken, Gao Yingxiang and others will stay for two more days. With this extra two days, Jingying and Cao Wenzhao, who is stationed in Qianshan, Anqing Prefecture, can do a lot of things.

But now Lin'an City has been taken down too early. Even if he does nothing, Gao Yingxiang from Yu Qian City will not stay in the city honestly. If he is Gao Yingxiang, he would definitely take advantage of the fact that the Xuan Mansion's troops have not arrived yet and withdraw from Hangzhou Prefecture as soon as possible and return to the Central Plains. After all, Lin'an City is not his own. Are you waiting for someone to beat him in Yu Qian?

Wang Zuogua held the tea and his forehead was wrinkled into the character Sichuan. The first time he was a headache because he won a battle, and he blamed himself for not asking Shang Kexi to fight leisurely before. However, the matter has already happened and he still has to find a way to remedy it. "Supervisor, Mr. Xu and our people have not yet reached the predetermined position. Moreover, according to this situation, Gao Yingxiang will not be staying in Qian. He will probably set off to evacuate Yu Qian soon. For the sake of this, he must send a group of troops to block the bandits."

Tie Mo nodded bitterly. Everything in Jiangnan is good, but it is not good for the cavalry. If this place is like the northern grassland, it can be allowed to play. He only needs to wave his hand and the cavalry to pounce on him. Seeing Gao Yingxiang dare to retreat with confidence. Unfortunately, the broken place is bumpy, either rivers and lakes, soft fields, and mountains and hills everywhere. If the cavalry chases them all the way, it is equivalent to self-harm.

Xu Hongji's troops and his own secret chess are of great use. They cannot be easily mobilized. After thinking about it, the only thing that can be mobilized is left is to lead a soldier. "I'll find a way to tell General Cao about the situation here. Whether he can stop the bandits next depends on General Cao."

Xu Zhixin looked worried. She had never dealt with Cao Wenzhao and others, so she could not trust her. "Captain General Cao and others can do it? You must know that if they cannot complete the task, once the bandits flee back to the Central Plains, it will be difficult to trap the bandits again."

"Miss, please rest assured. General Cao's abilities are still trustworthy. I believe General Cao will definitely come up with a solution!" Tie Mo and Cao Wenzhao have known each other for a long time and are well aware of Cao Wenzhao's abilities.

Not long after, an urgent official document was sent to Qianshan County, Anqing Prefecture. At the end of the first lunar month, Qianshan County had already shown signs of warming up. Unlike the situation on Tiemo, since taking Qianshan County, Cao Wenzhao ordered all troops to stay in Qianshan County without moving, and the troops stayed in Qianshan to eat and drink, and they were very idle. Sometimes, Qin Liangyu wondered whether he was here to fight or enjoy.

However, a document completely broke the good days of various troops. Cao Wenzhao was holding the document and suddenly became a little overwhelmed. This was a big deal, so he called Qin Liangyu and Zhao Rujiao over, "Two, according to the scheduled plan, our army should go south to Wangjiang in three days, turn to the northeast, and stop the bandits in Chizhou Prefecture. But now, the bandits evacuate earlier than the scheduled time, and we may not be able to follow the previous method."

"What will happen in the battle between Chizhou Prefecture this time? It depends on how much we can get in the end. We must fight this battle well! I wonder what the two generals have?" Cao Wenzhao already had an idea in his mind, but he was cautious by nature and wanted to hear the opinions of Zhao Lujiao and Qin Liangyu.

Qin Liangyu was most anxious to learn that the plan might have died, so she could point out that she would gain more benefits from this battle to resolve the disasters in Sichuan and Sichuan. For this reason, she even left Sun Chuanting aside and offended the six cabinet ministries. If the bandits were easily withdrawn, wouldn’t they have a big loss? So, she said anxiously: “What else is there to discuss? By this time, we have no way to go back. In any case, we have to block the bandits’ way from Chizhou Prefecture to the north. In my opinion, it really doesn’t work, so we will attack Anqing. As long as Anqing is in our hands, we can enter Chizhou Prefecture at any time.”

Zhao Rujiao and Qin Liangyu had almost the same idea. He nodded and said seriously: "Yes, for the sake of today, we can only attack Anqing. If we take a detour, it is probably too late to go. Although Anqing is very cautious and He Yishan has strengthened his defense recently, if we can work together and make some efforts, it is not impossible to win Anqing City in a short time."

Seeing Zhao Rujiao and Qin Liangyu say this, Cao Wenzhao nodded secretly in his heart. He was afraid that the two of them would have the same opinions as him. Since the idea was the same, it would be easier to deal with. "Cao's idea is the same. As long as he can win Anqing City, all problems can be solved. Moreover, according to my observation, although Anqing City is easy to defend but difficult to attack, we are not without a chance."

Zhao Rujiao couldn't help but be curious and said in confusion: "General Cao, have you already got an idea?"

"Well, Anqing City is very cautious. If we want to forcibly break through, it is not impossible to take it down in a short time, but casualties are probably not something we can accept. However, we can find a way outside Anqing City. This He Yishan can be said to be extremely steady. In order to ensure that Anqing City is safe and sound, not only has the city walls been built, but more than a dozen temporary camps were also arranged around Anqing City to serve as an early warning. As long as we use troops in any direction, the outer camps will warn Anqing City, and Anqing City will have sufficient reaction time. This leads to our inability to attack Anqing City, and breaking Anqing City in a short time has become a fantasy!"

Speaking of this, Cao Wenzhao paused for a moment and continued, "He Yishan's arrangement can be said to have added a buffer belt to Anqing City. I have to say that this move is very clever. However, there are ways to crack it in this world. He Yishan is very confident in his arrangement, so he dares to hide in Anqing City and sleep. But we can take advantage of this and accidentally attack Anqing City."

Qin Liangyu frowned. After listening for a long time, she didn't figure out a good idea. "General Cao, don't keep it in a silence. How should I fight? Qin has a headache. The defense power of these camps in the periphery is not very good, but as long as we move, they will warn Anqing City, which is very annoying."

"General Qin, don't be anxious" made a gesture and asked Cao Bianjiao to spread the map on the table. He pointed to one of the places and said, "Please look, this is Huilin Town. There is a distance between the camps on both sides of Huilin Town. This is our opportunity. As long as we can take down Huilin Town quietly and prevent the bandits in Huilin Town from warning to Anqing City, then we will have a great chance of attacking Anqing."

Seeing the confusion on Qin Liangyu and Zhao Rujiao's faces, Cao Wenzhao asked several people to come over and explained it in detail.

At night, the land was covered, and the small Huilin Town was peaceful and peaceful. Huilin Town is a very small town with only more than 100 families in the town, but since Anqing City was occupied by bandits, the people in the town have fled. At present, Huilin Town has been occupied by more than 200 bandits. There is a small military camp in Wanran in the town, and there are men guarding the gate at the entrance of the village.

In the late lunar month, the weather began to warm up, but the wind in Anqing Mansion was still quite strong, especially at night, the cold wind blew in my ears. Except for the gate patrol patrols, the other bandits had already fallen asleep. At the end of the hour, a team of patrol soldiers walked past the streets, and a team of more than a dozen people walked slowly. The man in front whispered, "I don't know what the use of patrolling this broken place is to prevent thieves?"

The team leader turned around and shouted in a deep voice: "Stop talking nonsense, when it's time for us to patrol, you can just talk."

He walked forward another street, and suddenly someone squatted down behind the team with his stomach covering his stomach. Seeing this, the head of the team quickly surrounded the others, "Puppy, how are you?"

The man named Puppy was hunched over, his forehead was covered in cold sweat, and his whole body was trembling, "The stomach hurts so much... I don't know what's going on... I..." Before he finished speaking, the puppy fell to the ground, foaming on the corner of his mouth began to spit, his whole body was twitching even more violently, so he could not speak.

What's going on? The team leader was panicked. He was about to carry the puppy, but he saw that the others in the team were lying on the ground with their stomachs covering their stomachs one after another. Many people were spitting white foam, and they didn't even have the strength to hum.

No, this is poisoning. Everyone in the team has been poisoned. Wouldn't that mean the same is true for the other brothers in Huilin Town? Just as they thought they had a sharp pain in their abdomen like a knife squeezing. After that, they were also poisoned.

While he was still able to control himself, he wiped his waist tremblingly. An arrow was held in his hand and was about to press it down, when an arrow flew in the darkness. With a puff, the head of the team lay heavily on the ground in shock, blood oozing out from his forehead, and the arrow in his hand slowly landed on the ground.

In the darkness, several men walked out quietly and looked at the arrows in the hands of the team. One of them sighed with a palpitation: "It's so dangerous, I almost missed the patrol team. If this arrow goes to heaven, then our brothers' heads will be moved."

In the action tonight, Cao Wenzhao and others issued a death order. If Huilin Town cannot be taken quietly, all those who participated in the action will not end well.

Fortunately, the team leader was killed at the last moment. At this time, the entire Huilin Town had an unusual tranquility, even a little weird. Some rooms had doors and windows open, but the people in the room were lying in a row. They were basically the same as death, and almost all of them were wiped off their necks.
