Chapter 339: There are interceptions in front and chasing troops behind
The autumn wind is bleak and the weather is getting colder.
Speaking of which, after camping on this day, Xiao Jiasui and Shi Jin went to the people and asked about their well-being. Seeing that many people were thin clothes, Xiao Jiasui and Shi Jin discussed: "I hope that most of the people who followed us to the mountain are poor people. This time, they walked urgently. There were a considerable number of them, and there were not even a decent piece of clothing for washing and changing clothes. At this time, the weather was getting colder and I had to go on a journey again. The military doctor had already advised me. If this continued, it would be a disease that would cause us. We had to think of a solution!"
"The military advisor's words are reasonable. Brother handed over these people to us. They will be the foundation of our Liangshanpo overseas in the future. We must not ignore it. But at this moment, it is difficult to find tens of thousands of sets of clothes!" Shi Jin frowned slightly and suddenly said, "There are 50,000 sets of leather armor on the cart, which can be used!"
When Xiao Jiasui saw this, she looked at Shi Jin with great appreciation, thinking that she was worthy of being a master of Teacher Wang, and she was delicate. No wonder her brother valued him so much, so she asked him to be his helper and take charge of the central army. Xiao Jiasui nodded immediately: "I am in a hurry to follow the power of things, and I don't care whether it fits well or not. I will first take 20,000 sets of leather armor, change them for the Hegong brothers, and then send them the clothes they replaced to the people to change their clothes! Tell the people, let's just go first, and wait until they get the copycat before paying attention!"
Shi Jin nodded and said, "In this way, you can also free up a large number of carriages and put some food and debris, so that the Hegong brothers who changed their armor will be relieved more easily!" The seized leather armor is of great quality, and many of them are made of rhino armor left by the previous dynasty (Chinese rhinos were only extinct in modern times), but they are not light in weight. It is still a bit burden for those who travel long distances.
Xiao Jiasui nodded with a smile and asked, "Is there any news from Wudu who went to raise grain?"
Shi Jin shook his head and said, "It's strange. Brother Wu Song has been out for most of the day, and there is no news at all!"
"Then let's use the food we brought with us first. We have been away for a day. Don't let everyone go hungry!" Xiao Jiasui ordered.
Shi Jin received the order and was going to go down and arrange it. At this moment, the white-flowered snake Yang Chun hurriedly came over with a man covered in blood. When Xiao Jiasui and Shi Jin saw it, they were shocked. Isn’t this exactly Yan Qing and Yan Xiaoyi who went to prepare food and grass with Wu Song and Lu Junyi? The two of them immediately stepped forward to meet him. Xiao Jiasui said with concern: "Brother Yan Qing. What's going on?"
"Military brother, I hope to quickly send reinforcements to support my master and Wu Dutou!" Yan Qing asked for help without caring about his mess.
"What's going on? Let's talk about it in detail!" Xiao Jiasui asked hurriedly, and at the same time, an unknown premonition emerged in his heart. With the strength of Wu Song Fuhu Camp, it would never be possible to trap a small county town.
Yan Qing reached out and wiped his face with bloody face. He was no longer as handsome as before. He bowed and begged: "When we went to raise food, we were suddenly attacked by the Bozhou official army. Now the brothers are dealing with the ambush in the mountains and forests. Please send reinforcements as soon as possible!"
Sure enough, he encountered the people intercepted by Bozhou. Xiao Jiasui said in a deep voice: "How many people do the other party have?"
"There are no less than two thousand imperial guards, and there are more than a thousand soldiers. When I came out, I found the village warriors who were constantly moving on the way! However, they were all infantry soldiers, and no trace of the horse army was found yet!" Yan Qing revealed the information he had found.
"Bozhou is really willing to invest heavily, and even the township heroes have mobilized!" Shi Jin cursed.
"Bozhou is a small state, including the city of Zhou, and only four county towns are under the jurisdiction. If you can curry favor with Cai Jing this time, you will naturally show your performance!" Xiao Jiasui said, "No further ado, brothers Shi Jin, you should quickly take the troops from the front army to rescue him! You must bring Wu Dutou and Lu Junli to the outside! Bozhou is the main force of the two thousand Busi imperial guards. If you defeat them, the other troops will naturally disperse!"
"Military advisor, if Lutixia and I leave, there will be no one around you!" Shi Jin said worriedly.
"Dalang, I'm not a human being?" Yang Chun said, "The group of famous surrendered troops under my command have cooperated so well these days, and can also come in handy at critical moments!"
"The surrendered troops were dispersed and organized into various armies for use, but this time..." Shi Jin was still a little worried.
"It's okay! These soldiers were personally selected by Yang Zhicheng and Suo Xianfeng. My brother treats them well. I think as long as they are not sent to the battlefield, there is little possibility of a collective mutiny. Besides, I still have more than 20,000 river workers in my hands, which is very reliable. In addition, the rear army still has a camp, so there is no big problem. Dalang, please go there with confidence!" Xiao Jiasui said.
Seeing that Xiao Jiasui also spoke, Shi Jin nodded, and Xiao Jiasui said to Yan Qing again: "Brother Yan Qing, how do you feel? Can you still lead the way for the army?"
Seeing Xiao Jiasui's quick decision, Yan Qing immediately sent reinforcements and bowed: "Mr. Military advisor, don't worry, Yan Qing can still fight!"
"Okay!" Xiao Jiasui nodded and praised, and said to Yang Chun: "Send someone to notify Lutijie of the former army and ask him to go with his brother Shi Jin. In addition, ask someone to notify the leader Fan Rui of the trapped camp and inform him of the military information and ask them to take more precautions. We will rely on them for our backs!"
"Get orders!" Yang Chun bowed. Seeing this, Shi Jin and Yan Qing came forward to bid farewell. Xiao Jiasui watched them go and took a few people to Xie Zhen and walk to Xie Bao.
Walking on the road, Xiao Jiasui's calm expression suddenly became a little heavy. At this time, there were encirclements and pursuers behind him. Wang Lun had news before, saying that he would arrive at the back team immediately, but there was no news yet, so he couldn't help but feel a little worried in his heart.
However, Wang Lun had the cavalry of the fourth battalion, including Lin Chong and Han Shizhong's personal guard camp, which made him somewhat confident, "Brother entrusted me with the safety of the army, so there must be no trouble!" Xiao Jiasui made up his mind and turned around and went to the Erlongshan Liu Tang and his surrendered soldiers first.
When Yang Chun came to the camp in person, three of the five leaders were burying their heads together for food. Except for Li Gun and Xiang Chong who were guarding their posts outside the camp, Li Kui, Fan Rui and Bao Xu were all there. Li Kui was holding a big bowl of rice and slashing it into his mouth. The bowl covered half of his face, leaving only a pair of cow eyes, which were spinning in his eyes.
Seeing this, Yang Chun couldn't help laughing and joked: "Iron Ox, it's so delicious!"
Li Kui was still unsatisfied with the Shanghai bowls stacked up on the two empty bowls that had eaten, and burped, saying, "What's the smell? I have no wine or meat, I'm only half full!"
Fan Rui shook his head and smiled, invited Yang Chun to sit down, and greeted, "Brother, how about eating here before you finish your meal?"
Yang Chun thanked him quickly and said, "The three leaders are not in a hurry, there is a military information notification!"
Li Kui jumped up and shouted, "There is a fight!"
"When Wudu was raising grain first, he encountered the interception of the Bozhou official army. At this time, Dalang and Lutige had already brought their men. The military advisor asked me to tell you that the central army was empty at this time. Please be careful, brothers, you must be careful. The safety of our army is all about your camp!"
"Why don't you ask me to save Brother Wu Song!" Li Kui shouted.
"This time, the official troops in front were all gathered to the Wu Song brothers, and there was no other threat. But the enemy was afraid of attacking the back. The military advisor brother's intention is to borrow the attention of you brothers!" Yang Chun replied.
After hearing this, Fan Rui hurriedly said, "Brother Yang Chun, please report back to the military advisor, please rest assured, I dare not neglect you!" After saying that, he said to Bao Xu, "Brother, go and have a meal for Li Gun and Xiang Chong, and I will go out in a while!"
Seeing this, Bao Xu responded, bowed to Yang Chungong and left the tent. However, Li Kui sat down again, picked up another bowl of rice, and ate it there. Fan Rui smiled helplessly and said, "Iron Niu, I have the fourth bowl, haven't eaten enough yet?"
"If it's okay, Master Xiao wouldn't ask Yang Chun to report it! I was thinking, afraid that there would be a war, so I would eat more, and I would have the strength to ask me to make a good deal of this pair of axes!" Li Kui didn't raise his head, chewing the rice in his mouth.
Seeing that he was the reason, Fan Rui and Yang Chun looked at each other and found it funny, but they didn't care about him. Yang Chun was about to say goodbye, and Fan Rui didn't want to stay, so he personally sent him out.
Yang Chun led the BMW and clasped his fists to Fan Rui and left. Fan Rui sent him away and immediately ordered the scouts to go out to find out the news. After the arrangement, he patrolled the camp. At this time, a figure suddenly flashed past the fence. Fan Rui was shocked and hurriedly pulled out his sword and chased him through the fence. However, this man was very fast and could not catch up with him. Fan Rui shouted behind him, "Who Taoist, dares to come and spy on my Liangshan camp?"
When the man said this, he stopped and hurriedly said, "But where is the military advisor Xiao Jiasui in Liangshan Camp?"
Fan Rui did not answer him, but just confirmed his identity and said, "Who is a fellow Taoist?"
The Taoist climbed over the fence and bowed, "Ma Ling, I voted for Brother Wang Lun in Ligu Town the day before yesterday. I wonder if my friend is the devil king in the world?"
"Are you my master here?" Fan Rui said suspiciously: "You said, who are the leaders of Huitian Camp around me now?"
"The miraculous doctor An Daoquan, Yizhang Qinghu Sanniang, with nineteen military doctors, all beside Brother Wang Lun!" Ma Ling bowed and said, thinking that this person was indeed not simple, and Wang Lun was relieved to call him the first battalion general.
"Fellow Taoist, don't blame me. When you are outside, you must be careful!" Fan Rui saw that he had explained the details exactly, so he hurriedly bowed.
Fan Rui hurriedly invited Ma Ling into the tent. Li Kui had just finished his meal when he saw Fan Rui's Taoist priest attracting another Taoist priest in, and said in surprise: "Old Fan, are you a relative?"
"Tie Niu, don't talk nonsense. This is the new leader of the mountain, Taoist Ma Ling! He came here specially from his brother!" Fan Rui shouted.
"Brother came from?" Li Kui was stunned and asked quickly: "Brother said he was coming, why haven't he come yet? I'm worried!"
"Brother is in a big battle at this time. I came back specially to ask the military advisor for reinforcements!" Ma Ling said anxiously. He reported to everyone that the people in Tanzhou were intending to attack.
Li Kui jumped up and said furiously: "Dog thief, wait for me to kill him, chop his bird head to see his brother!"
"Don't be anxious! The official army is about to kill. No matter what, we must deal with the enemy in front of us first, otherwise how can we go?" Fan Rui remained calm and bowed to Ma Ling again and said, "I would like to inform the news to Military Advisor Xiao. My camp is ready to face the enemy now!"
