Red Mansion: Bastards rule the roost

Chapter 466 The fighter plane has arrived
At the end of winter, Jia Cong's group of bandits had arrived near Qufu. Yelizi and Baqiansui's group had been unable to attack Tai'an for a long time, and they lost their troops. They left 20,000 people to continue their bluff to prevent the officers and soldiers from leaving the city for rescue.

He led the main force south to join Jia Cong, Yang Siniang and others, preparing to eat this big piece of fat first.

Along the way, Our Lady of White Lotus has sent two groups of people to cross the Si River near Sishui County, blocking the only way to rescue Qufu in Sishui and Zouxian counties.

The army crossed the Si River in Qufu, which was only a few miles away from the county seat. Jia Cong also became a little nervous. How could he think of a way to escape the golden cicada without making everyone suspicious.

The Holy Mother of White Lotus asked again: "Which master is willing to lead the troops to the west to block the reinforcements coming from Ziyang?"

Jia Cong secretly praised that the White Lotus Virgin was quite knowledgeable in the art of war, which coincided with her own. Unfortunately, she was calculating mentally but not intentionally. Even if she took precautions, what was the use?
No one spoke. At this time, Qufu was about to be conquered. Who was willing to leave? If you are not there, you will inevitably suffer a loss. What's more, there is still Yang Siniang's bet, who doesn't want to marry Yang Siniang home?

Jia Cong had an idea and winked at Yang Siniang.

Yang Siniang understood, raised her hand and said: "Since you all want to charge into the battle, then I will lead people to stop them. I will never teach any soldiers to come from Ziyang."

Everyone hurriedly said: "With Master Yang's protection, we can sit back and relax."

At that moment, everyone sent some troops out and put them under the command of Yang Siniang. There were 50,000 troops on this road because they had to guard against reinforcements from Yanzhou Prefecture to control Ziyang.

Yang Siniang was not a fool. She said calmly: "Although I'm not here, I'll ask Sister Bai to keep my share for me."

The Holy Mother of White Lotus nodded and said: "Don't worry, Fourth Mother, I guarantee that I will never miss you."

Everyone said: "Don't worry, Mr. Yang. If you come out to hang out, don't you show any loyalty? Whoever dares to make random ideas will be punished by us."

"If that's the case, then I have nothing to worry about. I wish you all victory in one battle and victory!" Yang Siniang cupped her hands, flicked her cloak and left.

Jia Cong just wanted to ask Liu Xianglian and Cheng Lingsu to follow Yang Siniang and evacuate the center of the battlefield first, but then he thought that if his people left one after another at this time, they would definitely make the Holy Mother of White Lotus suspicious, so she kept silent.

Our Lady of White Lotus noticed his expression and asked, "Brother Hu hesitated to speak, do you have any advice?"

Jia Cong took advantage of the situation and smiled and said: "My younger brother originally wanted to invite me to sneak into the city at night to find out the truth, but I was afraid that the heads of the family would suspect me of cheating, so I didn't dare to speak."

Everyone laughed and said: "That's it. Now that our army is pressing down on the border, there is no need to spy. We can just go all out and capture it tomorrow morning."

Brother, don't even think about taking advantage. We have to go get the big seal together. Whoever finds it first will depend on chance. It's only fair. "

Jia Cong smiled helplessly and said, "Just follow the instructions, big brothers."

That night, the bandit troops separated into three camps in the north, east, and west of Qufu. The thieves also learned to be smart and knew the principle of surrounding three towers.

The Holy Mother of White Lotus was separated from He Tieniu intentionally or unintentionally, and was stationed in the western suburbs of Qufu. It seemed that she wanted to monitor Jia Cong and others nearby. Although she believed her 100%, she always had some doubts about Jia Cong intuitively.

In the tent, a female hall leader of the White Lotus Sect asked: "Holy Mother, I see that you seem to be worried about Hu Fei. Why is that? What kind of trouble can the two of them make in our army."

Holy Mother White Lotus said calmly: "Do you think Hu Fei is powerful?"

"Amazing! His martial arts skills are superb, he is brave and careful, he is not afraid of danger, and he is calm and unfailing. There is no one in the sect who can compare with him." The hall master nodded sincerely.

"That's it. Would such a person like the likes of He Tieniu and be willing to succumb to him and work for him?" Our Lady of White Lotus sneered.

"This... what the Holy Mother said makes sense. Maybe Hu Fei is ruthless and thinks He Tieniu is easy to deal with. Maybe he wants to occupy the magpie's nest one day and replace him."

"This is not impossible. In short, this person should not be taken lightly. If he only wants Niutou Village, we can also form an alliance with him to help him. If he has other intentions, we must take precautions." The Holy Mother of White Lotus said.

"My subordinate understands, so I will send someone to keep an eye on him secretly."
-
Here, the tents of Jia Cong and others have also been set up. Jia Cong and Cheng Lingsu are staying, and Liu Xianglian and Nalan Tu are staying. Returning to the camp, Jia Cong's expression suddenly changed, his brows furrowed, and the worry in his eyes became more intense.

If he cannot arrive in Ziyang in time and the army loses control, even if he knows that the bandits are attacking Qufu in large numbers, he will not dare to move without permission.

If you miss tomorrow, the bandits will take the money and food and scatter, and you will lose the best opportunity to encircle and annihilate the enemy, and your hard work these days will be in vain.

Jia Cong was deep in thought in the tent, while Cheng Lingsu sat aside, respectfully waiting for orders.

"Damn it! Never mind! Go and call Xianglian and Nalan." Jia Cong suddenly said.

Cheng Lingsu nodded in agreement and went to call someone next to him.

"Brother Hu, what's the matter?" Liu Xianglian rushed in with Nalan.

"Everyone, sit down." Jia Cong lowered his voice and said: "Now that the fighter plane has arrived, I must rush back to the army to take charge. You... are like this, do you understand?
After I leave, you guys will stay here to protect me and try to make the thieves not suspicious. "

The three of them nodded in agreement.

Cheng Lingsu said: "Brother Hu, I just went out and found that there were several secret sentries around who seemed to be secretly monitoring us."

Jia Cong waved his hand and said, "It doesn't matter. I'm leaving openly this time, and I'm not afraid of those things, but you have to be careful."

Cheng Lingsu smiled slightly and said, "It's not difficult to avoid the eyes and ears of these people."

"I have Lingsu alone, which is better than a thousand armies." Jia Cong couldn't help but hold Cheng Lingsu's hand and smiled.

Liu Xianglian and Liu Xianglian were a little embarrassed, so they quickly turned away and said goodbye.

"Just go, go, just follow the plan."

After the two left, Jia Cong smiled again and said: "Ling Su is here, big brother will change your shirt. It will all depend on you later."

"Brother, no need, I can do it myself." Cheng Lingsu said shyly.

"It's useful. Anyway, if you have nothing to do, you have nothing to do." Jia Cong said with a smile.

"Well, brother..." Cheng Lingsu moaned softly, holding Jia Cong's head and face tightly to his chest.

The night gradually fell, and everything was pitch dark, with only the whistling sound of the north wind. In the winter nights in the north, the wind was biting and the cold was overwhelming, giving people the illusion that they would be frozen into popsicles if they didn't shrink into a warm bed.

The men standing guard in the rebel camp had no concept of military discipline. Almost all of them retreated into their tents and slept. It was past midnight and everyone was sleeping soundly.

Suddenly a crack opened behind Jia Cong's tent, and a strong and slender black figure swam out like a snake, disappeared among the tents in an instant, and went towards the tents of the leaders of each family.

In order to ensure the convenience of communication, all the bandit leaders and the leaders' tents were set up on the inner perimeter, while the gang members were on the outer perimeter.

But when he saw Cheng Lingsu approaching a tent, holding a sharp dagger, he silently opened the tent and disappeared through the gap.

He came out after a few breaths, with blood stains on the knife.
