Horse on the World

Chapter 452 Hunting 1
Ten days later, when a large number of convoys appeared outside Zhuji County, the refugees outside the city burst into cheers, and Li Qing's promise was fulfilled. Seeing the huge convoy constantly appearing in the field of vision, the refugees' hearts were filled with joy. I have mixed feelings and don't know how to express my feelings at this time.

Without Li Qing, Liao Bin would not have robbed them of everything. From this point of view, they hated Li Qing, but when they were waiting to die in despair, Li Qing pulled them back from the death line.Looking at the carts of food, everyone's hearts were finally relieved. With food, rebuilding their homes would not be empty talk.

This batch of convoys was organized by Xu Yunfeng, the magistrate of Fuzhou who is the nearest to Zhuji. With his experience in Chong County, Xu Yunfeng knew the pain of lack of food, so he acted the fastest.Accompanying the convoy were two special forces, the Special Service led by Wang Qi from the Statistical Investigation Department and the Flying Eagle Special Forces led by Sun Zewu from the Military Intelligence Investigation Department.It is also because of the accompanying of these two elite troops that Liao Bin's troops scattered all over Zhuji did not have the idea of ​​attacking this convoy.

"Master!" Wang Qi and Sun Zewu saw Li Qing in the lobby of Zhuji County.

"Is everything clear?" Li Qing cut to the chase.

"Understood!" The two said in unison.

"Very good!" Li Qing nodded, "You are the most elite of our Dingzhou Army, I don't want to say anything else, I want you to pull out the chess pieces that Liao Bin cast down one by one in the shortest possible time. Come out, don't leave a single one."

"Don't worry, Marshal!" Wang Qi clenched his fists, "I will crush their dog heads one by one."

After leaving, Wang Qi and Sun Zewu also bid farewell at the gate of Zhuji County Yamen.

"Lieutenant Sun, in the battle of Wettenig in the chasing room, Flying Eagle was a blockbuster. I admire it very much. This time fighting side by side with your department, it is just a chance to see the glory of Flying Eagle again!" Wang Qi laughed.

Sun Zewu cupped his hands and said, "General Wang is absurd. Flying Eagle has been established for a short time, so it can be compared with General Wang's special service. General Wang has repeatedly made outstanding achievements, and I am admirable."

The eyes of the two met in the air, and there seemed to be sparks. Although Wang Qi had a higher official rank, ranking as a general, and Sun Zewu was only a lieutenant of Zhenwu, the two were not subordinate to each other. There are also some contradictions and competitions that cannot be put into words. In the past, the well water did not interfere with the river water, and each did his own thing, but now they have to fight together. This competition is inevitable.

The two tacitly said goodbye.

Qingshigang, from the outside, it is impossible to hide people on this mountain with not too many trees. Occasionally, a few lonely trees can be seen standing on the bare mountain, but when you really go up the mountain, you will find these people. There is a lot of heaven and earth in this mountain. Under the big rocks, there are hidden bottomless caves. The middle of this mountain is completely empty, and the caves inside are vertical and horizontal, connected to each other, let alone hundreds of people , Even if thousands of people hide in it, they will not show the mountains and dews.Here lies the largest team under Liao Bin.The leader is a general named Chen Guang.

The main force of the whole prefecture retreated, and they hid on the spot. The task Liao Bin gave them was to destroy Li Qing's logistics channel and attack the rear of Dingzhou.Chen Guang is the officer with the highest rank left this time. He has nearly 500 people under him. He is not only the largest force, but also can control other small groups of troops. If necessary, Chen Guang can keep about 5000 people behind him. All assembled to fight a war of considerable size.

Liao Bin can be said to have spent a lot of money. The remaining 5000 people are the elite of the whole state. If it is an ordinary army, it is very likely that they will not be able to gather again after being dispersed. But this army, Liao Bin is very relieved. Chen Guang is his confidant, and at the same time a very capable general, Liao Bin is also relieved to keep him in control.

Qingshigang cave is too big, 500 people got into it, it can only be regarded as a drop in the ocean, it only occupies a very small surface layer. After occupying this place, Chen Guang also sent people with ropes and torches to explore the cave. How big and how deep it is, but after going down hundreds of meters along the rugged and steep path that allows people to climb over, Chen Guang finally gave up.

The further you go down, the heavier the cold, and the humidity is unbearable. The bare stalactites are covered with moss, which is slippery. The sound of rushing water in the depths of the cave could be vaguely heard, and a few soldiers stumbled and fell down the cave, and the screams continued for a long time, which made Chen Guang's expression change in shock.

After arriving here, Chen Guang immediately blocked several exits in the upper cave completely, leaving only an emergency escape channel. As a stronghold, this place is indeed a natural danger. The entrance Chen Guang chose was ten times high. The number is too large, but the width can only allow two people to pass side by side, and after entering this entrance, less than ten meters, there is a huge corner, where the cave turns a big bend, on the stone wall of the corner, Chen A watchtower was built on the smooth stone wall with only giant logs, facing the entrance, inside there were more than a dozen soldiers and a strong crossbow, guarding here, there is really a man guarding the gate, and there is no way for anyone to open it.If it was discovered by someone, Chen Guang was not afraid that someone could break in.Even if it is filled with human lives, I am afraid that no general has the courage to send soldiers to the place where they must die.

However, Chen Guang's only regret is that the cave is too humid to store a large amount of food and supplies for a long time. He can only hide some of these things on the surface of the cave, and the looted supplies can only be buried in bluestone. In another dry cave on the hill.

In some dry places in the cave, Chen Guang brought a batch of wood to build some simple sheds, and then covered them with oiled paper to reduce the humidity, so that the soldiers could live.

"General Chen!" A man dressed as a local hurried into Chen Guang's small room.

"Xiao Mo, what news did you find out?" Seeing the man rushing in, Chen Guang stood up excitedly. This Xiao Mo was his spy.

"General Chen, Li Qing's army has left, heading towards Quanzhou City!"

"Well, they're all gone."

"There are no troops left?" Chen Guang couldn't believe it.

"There are about less than 1000 guards stationed in the county." Xiao Mo said excitedly: "And those people who have gathered in the county have begun to return to their hometowns. Tsk tsk, General Chen, the people of Dingzhou are really rich. In a short time A large amount of grain was brought in, and when these people returned home, they dragged carts full of grain."

Chen Guang let out a sigh of relief, "This Li Qing is really willing to spend money to win people's hearts. To let these people go home with peace of mind, I'm afraid he brought no less than one million catties of grain. It's a big deal."

Xiao Mo laughed and said: "General Chen, no matter how big his hand is, the more these people bring back, the cheaper it will be for us?"

Chen Guang sighed, "If it wasn't for Li Qing's invasion, the iron cavalry in Dingzhou would be unstoppable, and I would really be helpless to rob these people, but now I have no choice but to rob them, burn them, and make these people homeless. There is no food to eat."

Xiao Mo smiled and said: "That is, the more we rob and burn harder, the heavier Li Qing's burden will be. Isn't he going to pretend to be a saint? Well, let's see how long he can last? Yes. How much surplus food is going to feed these refugees?"

Chen Guang shook his head. This was a strategy formulated by Marshal Liao. Although he didn't think so, he had to admit that this strategy was quite effective.

"Have you found out if the villagers in those villages have returned?" Chen Guang asked in a deep voice.

Xiao Mo nodded, and said the names of five or six villages in one breath.

After pondering for a moment, Chen Guang said: "I see, don't panic. In a few days, we will go out at night to rob Gaojia Village."

"Gaojia Village?" Xiao Mo said in surprise, "General Chen, Gaojia Village is fifty or sixty miles away from us. Why don't we go and grab Shuyuan Village? It's much closer, and it's convenient for us to move our things. bring back."

"Stupid!" Chen Guang said in a deep voice: "The farther away we are from our lair, the less the enemy will find our hiding place. Shuyuan Village is only more than ten miles away from us. It's also difficult to move, and the strategy formulated by the commander-in-chief can't kill people, he can only grab things, and he can't even kill people to silence them, so of course he chose to do it far away!"

Xiao Mo suddenly realized, "The general is clever, although he is far away, he can ensure that we are safe."

"Although you didn't find Li Qing's troops on the surface, but I dare to assert that Li Qing must be hiding troops in the city, just waiting for us to show up! We wait for a few days, and these troops who stayed on purpose will not be found. After seeing our traces, he will definitely leave, after all, Li Qing wants to concentrate his forces to attack the whole prefecture, it is impossible to leave too many troops in Zhuji, and when they leave, Zhuji will be our world!" Chen Guanghold Clenched fist.

"Then general, I'm going to inform other troops, don't show up for now?" Xiao Mo said.

Chen Guang shook his head, "No, if you don't give them something to eat, how could they leave so easily? There will definitely be people who can't help but want to fight for a vote. When they are cleaned up by the Dingzhou soldiers, we will be safe. Attack!"

Xiao Mo shrank his head, and couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart. Those troops are also General Chen's subordinates, so he quietly sold them to the Dingzhou Army. Fortunately, he was with the general, otherwise he would not have died. Know how to die!

As Chen Guang expected, within three to five days after the refugees from all over the country returned to the village, they were once again looted by these small groups of troops, but they also showed their signs when they succeeded. The momentum of deception wiped out these groups of Quanzhou soldiers who attacked without authorization.

In Qingshigang, Chen Guang smiled when he learned that the last Dingzhou cavalry had left, "Little Mo, it's time for us to move!"
