Aspiration

Chapter 78 Ling Feidu

Li Laiheng had no idea that the situation here had changed.

"Open the door! We have urgent business to bridge the bridge." Wang Si called out from behind the gate.

"What's it called? Wait for the general to verify his identity before we can make the transition."

The guard stood behind the wall and looked at Li Laiheng and his party.Closed, heavily guarded, morale and discipline are at the highest level of alert.Li Laiheng was a little surprised, this place was obviously different from the previous two passes.

After about a moment, a general appeared at the gate.

"Whose army are you in?" General Cao asked.

"We are from Xiangyang." Wang Sidao.

"Oh? Whose subordinate in Xiangyang?"

"Master Yang is in charge of the battalion, General Huang's subordinates."

"Aren't you the one who can't stop Cao Pianjiang?" Cao Pianjiang felt that something was wrong, he asked tentatively.

Wang Si was about to answer.

Lao Jiu hurriedly said softly: "Slow down! The situation has changed."

He stood up and said to Guanshang: "General Cao, after you left, we received a secret order from the supervisor to quickly pass it to Zuoying. Due to the importance of the military situation, the Wanjian Army specially sent us to go west in the starry night. General Lao Switch, we dare not waste time. How about bothering with your good wine and tea after we deliver Master Yang's secret order?"

Cao Pianjiang was dubious, thinking, the people sent by the Wanjian Army, they should know that I am here to guard, just now, why didn't they directly greet me, Mr. Cao?

Don't be credulous, even if you are going west, you can't do it carelessly.The focus of their defense is of course the west. Their main purpose is to prevent Li Zicheng from breaking out from the mountainous area of ​​Yunzhou. But on the battlefield, anything can happen, so no matter whether you go east or west, you have to strictly inquire and check .

"Send someone to check the letter." Cao Pianjiang didn't care if they were sent by the supervisor or not.Lao Jiu glanced at Li Laiheng, as if asking, what should I do?
Now that there is trouble, Cao Pianjiang is obviously suspicious.Any fake, no matter how true it is, it will be difficult not to show its feet.Li Laiheng quickly analyzed the situation in his mind. There are at least 1000 people in charge of this ferry, and maybe more. It is unrealistic to force the ferry. If you don't force it, the rush and the unknown enemy situation make it difficult to be sure.

He could only adapt to the situation, so he decided to do it himself.

"General!" Several voices exclaimed at the same time.Lao Jiu, Wang Si and Luo Hu all disagreed.

"If there is any accident, Lao Jiu, you lead 20 people out of the main force, Wang Si, you lead 30 people out of the main force from the other direction, pretending to be defeated soldiers and sneaking in. Luo Hu leads 100 people to distract the enemy. The destination is Mahjong Ridge, there is no need to go west, so that we can come back in the future. In Majjö Ridge, you can stay there for a period of time, one month. If you don’t see us coming back in January, you will return to Henan. Lao Jiu, Wang Si, you You don’t need to explain the specific tasks, just play it by ear.” Li Laiheng didn’t have time to discuss, so he could only assign tasks so simply.

Li Laiheng entered the pass on foot.

He handed the letter to General Cao's soldiers.Soon, he was brought before General Cao.

"What does the supervisor want you to do?"

"Send the Warrant to the Superintendent." Li Laiheng replied.

"Where's the warrant?"

"Confidential."

General Cao was at a loss for words.There was a moment of silence.A confidential document means that he cannot read it.

"Who are you sending the confidential documents to?"

"General Left."

Cao Pianjiang looked at Li Laiheng again.

"Why don't I know you?"

"The villain's official position is humble, and the adults naturally don't know him."

"Well, when did Master Supervisor return to Xiangyang?" Cao Pianjiang suddenly came up with a clever plan.

Li Laiheng was surprised.But he hardly thought about it, and replied, "The Supervising Army is originally in Xiangyang."

Li Laiheng bet that General Cao was telling lies.He won, and the supervising army did not move in Xiangyang.Since the supervisor became a headless ghost last time, he didn't dare to be too bold anymore. He felt that it was much safer to hide in the fortress, so he basically never went out.

Cao Pianjiang didn't see Li Laiheng's flaws, but he was not going to let him go, because Yang Sichang's senior staff repeatedly told them that there was only one place in the Xiangyang camp where orders could be issued, and that was Yang Sichang's camp.At the end of the Ming Dynasty, most of the military supervisors were eunuchs who did not understand military affairs, and most of them were harmful to military intervention.Yang Sichang was worried that he would leave the battalion and lose power, so he deliberately explained that the contents of the orders issued by the Supervisory Mansion must be clarified, if it is not relevant, it is fine, if there is an important military adjustment, when must Yang Sichang be told.

Now, the Supervising Army has a secret order to Zuo Ying, which is not an ordinary thing, and it is necessary to find out what the content is.

Lao Jiu had previously found out that the surname of the guard was Cui, and he had a good relationship with the supervising army. Unexpectedly, the situation would change suddenly, and now a loyal general Cao was reassigned.

Things go wrong.

There is no flaw.However, Cao Pianjiang suddenly shouted: "I caught it!"

Li Laiheng softened his body and did not let Cao Pianjiang's personal soldiers catch him. "Crack!" The steel knife was unsheathed.

Li Laiheng didn't leave. If he left, the road would be blocked.He asked: "Why? General Cao!"

"Fake the Warden of the Superintendent, and it's really a spy. I'll arrest you!"

General Cao deliberately stated the reason for arresting Li Laiheng out loud, so as not to blame the supervisor in the future.

Li Laiheng believed that Cao Pianjiang didn't see any flaws, so he didn't plan to escape.He said loudly to Guan Xia: "Cao Pian has turned his back on him, go back and report to the supervising army."

Li Laiheng was caught without a fight.

Cao Pian is about to kill them all.He ordered: "Don't let them go! They are all spies."

The door was closed and opened, and a team of 600 people rushed out.Luo Hu led the troops and turned back. They did not love to fight and retreated.Two hours passed, and the pursuers still hadn't returned.They sent out more troops, and another 600 people went out. It was not until the third watch that some people came back one after another, not many, and they all said that they had suffered a defeat.

Cao Pianjiang did not embarrass Li Laiheng, he only wanted him to explain the content of the secret order.Of course, there was another reason why he didn't embarrass Li Laiheng. His own army also had supervising troops, and they were managed vertically, under the command of the supervising master.

Li Laiheng sneered.

Cao Pianjiang was embarrassed. Of the more than 1000 soldiers and horses he sent out, only less than 300 returned. Where did the thousands go?Eat defeat?Lost to more than 100 people before the pass?impossible.

Stuck in the jungle and lost?

search!

Another 300 were sent.

Li Laiheng still did not disclose the content of the secret order.His reason was simple, the secret order was not with him, and he didn't know what it was about.

He only mentioned one clue: the supervising army really wanted to catch Li Zicheng before Yang Sichang came back.

This is very important information.

In the middle of the night, the soldiers guarding Li Laiheng were exhausted and tucking away when they were suddenly awakened.

"Who!" Then there was the sound of the steel knife being unsheathed.

"Why all the fuss? The supervisor is here to interrogate the prisoner. You go out and wait." The person who came was the supervisor of the army stationed here, and he wanted to find out the real identity of the person.

Seeing that the soldiers guarding the army are the supervisors, how can they say a word?Hurry up and go outside.The supervisor said to Li Laiheng, "You really were sent by the supervisor to deliver the secret letter?"

Li Laiheng deliberately said cautiously: "Who are you?"

"My surname is Zhu and my name is Jiawang. I have been working under Lord Supervisor for ten years."

"Oh, I wish my lord, the villain has met my lord, my lord's confidant and favorite general. My lord, save me, Mr. Cao has ulterior motives and wants to ruin his good deeds." Li Laiheng pretended to make a fuss.

"Don't be impatient, I will save you naturally. Tell me the truth, why did the Lord Superintendent send you there?"

Li Laiheng deliberately hesitated for a moment, and then said mysteriously: "Master Superintendent is worried that He Renlong will take the lead, so he specially sent a piece of information on Li Zicheng's hidden location to General Zuo, and asked him to arrest Li Zicheng as soon as possible. This is a very confidential matter." You know, Lord Yang regards He Renlong as a confidant, and let him lead the army independently in Huguang, just hoping that he will make military exploits early. Originally, General Zuo was about to capture Zhang Xianzhong in Sichuan, but Lord Yang suddenly took He transferred away because he didn't want General Zuo to make special achievements. It can be seen how eccentric Mr. Yang is. You know this, General Zhu. You also know that Mr. Supervisor relies heavily on General Zuo. General Cao detains me now, it will be bad Those who have accomplished the important task of suppressing thieves also ruined the good task of supervising the army, it is abominable."

When Zhu Jianjun heard that it made sense, he felt angry, but he didn't know what to do.He asked Li Laiheng, what can I do?
Li Laiheng said, don't bother me, I have my own way.It's just that after he escaped, I wish my lord to be considerate and use words to frighten General Cao.

In the early morning, Li Laiheng was rescued by Lao Jiu and Wang Si's people.They had already sneaked into the pass with the defeated army.General Cao's army was indeed defeated. They were ambushed along the way. How many people can stay?
Zhu Jianjun has no right to let others go out of the customs, but no one can stop him and his personal soldiers from going out of the customs.

Li Laiheng passed Ling Feidu under the escort of the military supervisor.

Ling Feidu volleyed tens of feet in the air, hanging above the cliff, and it was almost impossible to attack by force.

Li Laiheng now has only fifty riders to enter Yunyang.
