Pampered Tian's Wife: The Little Weaver Girl in the Farmhouse

Chapter 659 The Trick of the Enemy
The reinforcement generals sent by Luzhou were not in vain. After seeing the terrain in front of them, they hesitated.In case there is an ambush in front, he will confess to [-] people here.Thinking of this, the general ordered the soldiers to stop advancing and rest on the spot, and sent spies to explore the way ahead.

The army stopped, and the person who reported from Wuwei was a little anxious, and hurried to the leader of the army, "General, I don't know why the general stopped moving forward? It is only seventy or eighty miles away from Wuwei. , let's drive over with more energy, just attack from inside and outside, and we will be able to take down the rebels in one fell swoop."

"General, the situation in Wuwei City is urgent, and the battle is urgent. If we delay here, and Wuwei City is captured by the rebels, what should we do?" The person who sent the letter was also one of Chu Ruifeng's subordinates, Zhao Wenkuan.This person is very clever, quick-witted and changeable, and Chu Ruifeng trusts him very much.

The general from Luzhou shook his head, "The terrain in front of us is too dangerous, so I have to be careful. If there is a rebel army ambushing here, wouldn't it be a heavy loss for me to lead people through here? The rebel army is very cunning. I have to guard against it. General Zhao, please be calm and don’t be impatient. The general has sent spies to investigate the situation before, and we will continue on our way when the spies reply that there is no abnormality ahead.”

When Zhao Wenkuan heard this, he secretly thought it was bad.It was dusk now, and it was a good time to ambush. If they delayed for too long, it would be difficult to launch an attack when the sky completely darkened.

"General, the rebel army is stationed outside Wuwei City to attack the city. How can there be any extra people here to ambush? General, let's hurry to Wuwei while the sky is still bright. When we come out the day before yesterday to report , Wuwei has been attacked several times by the rebels. It has been two days, and I don’t know what’s going on, so please go to Wuwei as soon as possible.”

Zhao Wenkuan was very anxious, afraid that someone would find out that there was an ambush in the mountain ahead, so he kept urging him.However, the general in Luzhou was determined, no matter how much he urged, he would not give the order to set off.Zhao Wenkuan really had no choice but to wait patiently.

Time passed during this long wait, and after about half an hour, I saw a few spies pushing a woodman who was carrying two large bundles of firewood over. "General, I waited and searched for a long time, and found nothing unusual, but I caught such a woodcutter. He hid behind a big rock and was sneaky, so I brought him back."

The woodcutter had been scared out of his wits for a long time, and now his body was shaking like chaff, and he knelt down on the ground with a plop. "The general, please forgive me, the young one is from the nearby mountains. I went out to cut firewood today, because I slept a little longer at noon, which delayed my return home. I beg the general to spare my life, the young one is not a bad person."

The woodcutter kowtowed as he spoke, and he spoke intermittently. It was obvious from a glance that he was really frightened.Seeing this situation, the general of Luzhou knew that the man in front of him was an honest farmer, so his tone slowed down a lot, "Don't be afraid, I came here to ask you, what is there in the mountain ahead during the daytime?" Abnormal? Is there someone lying in ambush in the mountains?"

When the woodcutter was asked this question, he was stunned for a while, and it took him a long time to come back to it.Knowing that he was not in danger, he breathed a sigh of relief and sat down on the ground. "Oh my mother, it turned out to be to inquire about things in the mountains, but it scared me to death."

"Returning to the general, there is no one hiding in this mountain. I wandered around the mountain all day today, and I really didn't see anyone." As soon as he relaxed, the woodcutter slipped away a little more than before.

When the general of Luzhou heard this, he was somewhat relieved, "You are telling the truth? You didn't lie to me, did you?"

Hearing this, the woodcutter shook his head quickly, "No, no, how could you dare? Didn't the general send someone to look at it just now? Is there nothing in it? If the general still doesn't believe it, then I will lead the way. How? Anyway, my home is on the other side, and I want to go home too. "

The woodcutter was dark, with many patches of coarse cloth and straw sandals on his feet. It looked like he was from a poor family.What's more, he spoke in a low-pitched voice with a touch of honesty, and he didn't look like a bad guy.The general in Luzhou thought for a while, and felt that there should be no problem ahead, and Zhao Wenkuan had been urging him, so he nodded and gave the order, and the army continued to move forward.

Of course, the woodcutter was actually brought to the front of the procession and made to lead the way.The woodcutter was not afraid now, he picked up his two bundles of firewood, and led the people behind him, walking forward like this.

The road ahead passes through a canyon between the two mountains, and this canyon is very long, and the road is relatively wide and flat, so it doesn't seem too crowded when [-] soldiers and horses walk between them.They just lined up a long line and walked into the canyon one after another.

At this time, the sky was getting dark, especially when walking in the middle of the canyon, both sides were blocked by high mountains, and the light was even darker, so some of these soldiers lit torches to illuminate them, and continued to march forward.

The canyon is very long, all twenty thousand soldiers and horses have entered the canyon, and the people in front are still far away from the canyon exit.The general who led the army ordered everyone to be careful and keep an eye on the movements on both sides, and everyone proceeded carefully in the canyon.

Not long after all the [-] soldiers and horses entered the canyon, a loud rumbling sound was suddenly heard.Then, on both sides of the exit of the canyon in front, countless boulders rolled down, and the boulders sealed the exit in an instant.

"General, it's bad. The exit in front is blocked by a huge stone. We're afraid we've been ambushed." Seeing this situation, the soldiers at the front knew that something was wrong, so they rushed to the middle of the line to report.

The general leading the army had actually heard the commotion ahead, and knew that something was wrong at that time, so he quickly ordered everyone to turn around and walk back, and exit the canyon as soon as possible.However, it was too late at this time, and there was a loud bang from behind, and the escape route was blocked by huge rocks.

"No, we really fell for the trap. There is an ambush here." The general understood at this moment that they had fallen into someone else's trap. "Where is that woodcutter, where did he go? Catch and kill him." The angry general shouted.

But where is the shadow of the woodcutter at this moment?There was a commotion ahead just now, and taking advantage of that time, the woodcutter ran away.Of course, it was not only the woodcutter who ran, but also Zhao Wenkuan and others followed the woodcutter and took advantage of the chaos to hide.The woodcutter was clearly Chu Ruifeng's subordinate, he was sent by Chu Ruifeng deliberately to confuse the other party, and he went along with Zhao Wenkuan and others to leave according to the agreed route.
