serious man in the red chamber

Chapter 100 Clear Situation

The gate was wide open, and groups of scouts rushed out from the camp.

The big tent of the Chinese army was silently filled with generals from each battalion.

A large tray was placed in the center of the tent, and the goshawk had been plucked, disemboweled, and placed on the tray.

Jia Hu sat on the handsome seat, glanced around the map, and said after a while: "Our spies just came back from the direction of Daqingshan, and the other party should come from the southwest, that is to say, they are following us all the way. of."

Xie Qiong: "Under normal circumstances, an adult goshawk can fly [-] to [-] miles in one breath, and the limit can reach [-] miles. But this goshawk was injured. We are surrounded by plains within ten miles around us, only the southwest direction There is a forest fifteen miles away, and this goshawk has obviously just been fed." He said, pointing to the tray.

Xie Qiong was right. After the soldiers brought the dead eagle back, Jia Hu directly ordered people to pluck the hair and disembowel it. There were still herbs left on the wound, and the food in the eagle’s belly was not digested, and it was all cut by hand. pieces of meat.

Wang Ziteng said: "Since the commander-in-chief has guessed it, why don't you worry about finding them?"

The deputy general of the [-] Battalion and all the generals laughed silently.

Jia Hu glanced at them first, and then continued: "The owner of this goshawk died in the ancient city of Dongshengwei. Among these Mongol spies, there must be falconers, or falconers from the Chahar tribe. , They must also have goshawks by their side.

In other words, when they used this goshawk to pursue us, they had already passed on the news.Come to think of it, the Prince of the Manchu Tartars has already led an army to intercept us. "

Wang Ziteng was startled, and hurriedly said: "Before they find our position, hurry up and retreat. Go east and join the main force of the old Duke."

Xie Qiong: "How far is Doron Nuoer from here? The Tartars are all cavalry, do you think we can outrun them?"

The generals laughed again.

Wang Ziteng blushed and was about to speak.

But Jia Hu changed the subject: "Before crossing the Yin Mountain, this goshawk followed us all the time, how did these people find it, or how did they catch up to it?" Then he turned his gaze to Sanqianying lieutenant general.

Everyone was stunned when they heard this.

The lieutenant general of the [-] Battalion took Jia Hu's words into consideration, and slowly replied: "Returning to the Commander, the [-] Battalion strictly follows the Commander's order to dispose of the horse's excrement, and it is impossible for anyone to find out."

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay. Before crossing the Yin Mountain, the army was all day and nocturnal, and the sentry battalion even scattered the spies for thirty miles, so it was impossible for people to follow behind them without knowing it.

Xie Qiong turned around, his eyes slowly swept across the faces of everyone.

At this time, there was a sound of horseshoes outside the tent, and then a spy ran in and knelt down to Jia Hu: "Report! The spies of the Manchus have been found and captured, and Liu Xianglian, who has been missing for a long time, has also been found! "

Jia Hu: "Oh?"

The spies continued: "The opponent has 11 people in total, all of whom are good at shooting with bows and arrows. If it weren't for our superiority in numbers and Liu Xianglian's sneak attack from behind, we wouldn't have captured them so easily. Shoot eight of them and capture three of them. .

According to Liu Xianglian, the eight people shot and killed were Sauron soldiers disguised as herdsmen. Among the other three, two were Orion, the domestic slave of General Uliasutai, and one was a tamer from the Chahar tribe. eagle man. "

"Orion?"

Jia Hu was startled, and asked urgently, "Have any hunting dogs captured them?"

Spy: "On the way back to the camp."

Jia Hu stood up: "Come on, come with me to see General Uliasutai's pet dog."

The generals stood up and shouted: "No!"

Soon, Jia Hu led the generals of the battalions to the gate, quietly looking at the prairie in the distance.

After a while, Zhao Xi came over with a few secretaries.

Zhao Xi walked up to a member of the Criminal Division and asked softly, "What happened?"

The man didn't turn his head back: "I heard that it's the spies who caught the Manchus."

Zhao Xi's face changed. At this moment, the sound of horseshoes was heard in the distance, and the sentry battalion came back.

Running in front of Jia Hu, Liu Xianglian got off her horse and knelt down to Jia Hu: "The humble Liu Xianglian sees the commander!"

The disheveled and ragged Liu Xianglian startled Xie Qiong and others.

Jia Hu stood there without answering, but just waved his hands.

Lin San led a few soldiers and came forward: "President Liu, please come to the back tent to change clothes." He gave up his hand.

Liu Xianglian was startled, and immediately said to Jia Hu: "I have important information to report to the commander."

Jia Hu: "The Manchus are here?"

Liu Xianglian was startled again, and replied: "No."

Jia Hu: "Go."

At this time, the sentry battalion came over with three captives, and several sentries followed with two tied up hounds.

Seeing that Liu Xianglian was still in a daze, Xie Qiong took a step forward and said in a low voice: "Go and explain clearly what happened these days, this is the rule of the military camp." Then he said to Lin San: "Tell them, everyone It's your own, don't go too far!"

Lin San nodded, and said to Liu Xianglian: "Please, General Manager Liu."

Liu Xianglian stood up: "Yes." She followed Lin San and the others to the camp.

Chief Sentinel Qian walked up to Jia Hu and said, "Commander, those two hunters have confessed that they followed General Uliasutai's orders with hounds to track down the army. Some spies from the Qing Dynasty sprinkled a prepared herb that can only be distinguished by hunting dogs on the grass in advance, as long as it is not washed away by heavy rain, the hunting dogs can track it within twelve days."

Only then did Jia Hu show a slight smile: "Good trick!" As he spoke, he glanced at the generals standing beside him, then turned to Chief Qian of the sentry camp and said, "Tell them to find the spies of the Manchus, Not only can they be exempted from the death penalty, but they can also be given a large sum of money, even if they want to go to Dazhou to live."

"promise!"

Chief Sentry Qian walked up to the three captives, said a few words in Mongolian, and then ordered someone to untie the rope from one of them, and ordered someone to bring the two hounds over as well.

Only then did Jia Hu realize that the two hounds were injured in their retreat.

The man untied the rope from the hunting dog, glared fiercely at the sentries, then picked up the hunting dog and walked towards Jia Hu.

A few soldiers on the side immediately ran to Jia Hu's front to protect him.

Suddenly, there was a "plop" from behind, and everyone was startled.

Several secretary offices exclaimed: "Not good! Zhao Yushi passed out!"

Jia Hu was stunned, a gleam flashed in his eyes, and he waved his hand: "Bring him over!"

After hearing this, all the generals looked at each other in blank dismay.

Zhao Xi, who had passed out, was carried over by the two members of the Criminal Division.

But the strange thing was that the hound sniffed Zhao Xi carefully, but didn't respond.

The hunter shook his head, indicating it wasn't him.

Jia Hu was slightly taken aback, and suddenly, a fan said, "Zhao Yushi takes a bath every day and changes into clean clothes."

Everyone was shocked, and turned their eyes to Jia Hu.

Jia Hu didn't speak, but just waved his hand.

The two fans looked at each other, then threw Zhao Xi directly on the ground, and then led the Orion towards the camp under everyone's surprised eyes.

Looking at Zhao Xi whose eyelids were trembling slightly, Jia Hu sneered: "Zhao Yushi, it's cold on the ground, let's get up and talk."

Zhao Xi slowly opened his eyes, glanced at Jia Hu, and then got up.

Jia Hu smiled faintly: "Speak."

Zhao Xi replied flatly: "The only thing is death."

Jia Hu was startled: "It seems that your family is no longer in Da Zhou, but, why don't you think about it for the Pei family?"

Zhao Xi froze, stood there silent for a long time, opened his mouth, and finally said nothing.

Suddenly, Xie Qiong stepped forward and slapped Zhao Xi on the face with a "slap" sound!

Zhao Xi fell to the ground and looked at Xie Qiong, feeling ashamed and indignant.

Xie Qiongbao's eyes widened and he said, "If you don't tell me now, I will relax your muscles and bones in person later!"

The lieutenant-general of the Three Thousand Battalion continued, "If you fall into the hands of the Criminal Division, death will be a luxury!"

Zhao Xi got up and didn't speak.

At this time, a group of Ti Xing Sifanzi with shackles and handcuffs rushed over.

Zhao Xi's expression changed suddenly, his feet went limp, and he collapsed to the ground.

The head of Fanzi, the criminal minister, handed Jia Hu a purse inlaid with gold thread: "Marshal, I found it in Zhao Xi's book box."

Jia Hu took the purse, opened it, looked at it, and found that it was more than half used, threw the purse to the soldiers, and said to Zhao Xi: "Be honest, I will give you a good time."

Then he said to the head of Fanzi, the criminal division, "have a good trial."

"Locked!" Ti Xingsi Fanzi lowered his head and shouted.

The two fans rushed forward and took off Zhao Xi's robes in front of everyone, leaving only a thin middle coat.

Two fans with shackles and handcuffs rushed over. The ring-shaped chains first wrapped around Zhao Xi's neck, then handcuffed his hands, and then his feet.

"Take it away!" Ti Xingsi's fanzi gave the first order.

The two fans carried him to the camp.

After a while of silence, Jia Hu said: "Go, go to the camp of the Chinese army!"
