After the Immortal Disappeared

Chapter 275: Each One Shows His/Her Own Skills (Extra Chapter for Daily Salary)

For this operation, He Lingchuan felt that there was nothing he couldn't tell others, so he sent this straightforward man here.

Of course, it was also because Jiao Tai had the best ability to identify directions and locate in the wild. If his father was determined to fight, there would be such a reliable person to lead the way.

At this time, Elder Liang of Chuanyun Pavilion also came and sat down to listen.

When Jiao Tai said that the remaining Xunzhou Rangers were hiding in the abandoned mine, and they had gunpowder and found the back door of the mine, He Chunhua couldn't help but say "good" repeatedly, and stood up with a slap on the table: "Can you still identify the way to the mine?"

"Of course I can!"

He Chunhua could finally make a decision: "You lead the way, and we will set off immediately!"

After saying this, he felt really comfortable in his heart, and turned to Elder Liang and said: "Xinhuang, I have to ask Elder Liang for help."

"Okay." Elder Liang gestured, and the disciples around him translated, "Chuanyun Pavilion is willing to do its best."

At that moment, He Chunhua ordered the entire army to get ready.

Two quarters of an hour later, He Chunhua personally led a team of 1,200 people out of Xinhuang and headed straight for the abandoned mine in Bailu Town. Wu Shaoyi led 500 people to guard the Xinhuang military camp, and Elder Liang of Chuanyun Pavilion assisted.

Abandoned mine.

Hong Chenglue was eating, taking a mouthful of yellow rice steamed bun and a mouthful of hot water, and gobbling it up voraciously.

The yellow rice steamed bun was not delicate, a little dry and a little choking. But Hong Chenglue ate it very sweetly, which was the best steamed bun he had eaten in the past two months.

The yellow rice swelled up in the stomach with hot water, giving people a full feeling of fullness.

There was also half a yellow roasted pheasant on the table.

Although the chicken feathers were not completely plucked and the chicken skin was a little burnt, the soldiers who temporarily acted as cooks had done their best.

Hong Chenglue did not touch the roasted chicken, but picked it up and sent it to Baili Qing's ward.

The general was still in a coma.

The general was accompanying him, and when he saw Hong Chenglue coming in, he had to stand up.

Hong Chenglue waved his hand: "Don't be so polite, how is General Baili?"

"He has recovered well, he should wake up soon."

Hong Chenglue put the roast chicken on the table: "Wait for General Baili to wake up, heat it up for him."

"Okay."

He gave up his quota, but the general thought he wanted to win people's hearts, and didn't even say "yes".

Originally, this person was promoted by Baili Qing.

At this moment, the sound of running came from outside, and a soldier rushed over panting: "General Hong...!"

Hong Chenglue waved his hand to stop him, and walked out of the house to the open space: "Come and say, don't wake General Baili."

Seeing that there was something unusual here, the generals also gathered around.

"A large number of Xiazhou troops appeared at the foot of the mountain, nine hundred or thousands of people, as if searching the mountain, and roughly coming here!"

When everyone heard this, their scalps tingled.

Sure enough, the Xiazhou army followed them?

Coincidentally, the spy they sent to Bailu Town for the second time also came back at this time, reporting that the first spy died in Hong Chenglue's empty house! And according to the feedback from the people in the town, someone from Xiazhou Prefecture did come to inquire about the intelligence last night.

Hong Chenglue's worries were finally confirmed.

The two generals looked at Hong Chenglue at the first time, and they felt a little regretful.

If they evacuated in the afternoon...

Everyone was waiting for Hong Chenglue's decision. He looked solemn and made a prompt decision: "Xu Yingxian, Tao Ze, you follow me to lead away the Xiazhou army!"

Then he turned to the other two generals: "You stay and take care of General Baili and the injured brothers. If we can't stop them, you will retreat to Xinqiao Township."

The commander gave the order in danger, and the two immediately accepted it.

The soldiers were all a little impressed.

Fortunately, the Xunzhou cavalry had developed the habit of being ready to fight at any time, ready to get up and kill the enemy at any time, and they were ready to go in less than half a minute.

So Hong Chenglue left another fifty people to guard the abandoned mine, and he set off in a hurry with 270 or 80 people.

After running for more than 200 feet, there was no trace of the enemy.

After going another 200 or 300 feet along the mountain road, there was still no trace of the enemy.

Until the team was almost at the foot of the mountain, another sentry came in a hurry:

Report, the Xiazhou army turned north.

What is in the north? No one knows.

So, if the Xiazhou army is not coming... The soldiers looked at Hong Chenglue eagerly, but saw him call Tao Ze over and whisper a few words, and then pointed 30 people to him.

This team of 30 people went to the rear.

What to do now?

Hong Chenglue waved his hand and said: "Pass my order, the whole army will go east to Xinhuang Town!"

The soldiers were shocked.

What?

Hong Chenglue looked over with a stern look: "Why don't you give the order?"

Someone even asked stupidly: "Should we send a message back to the mine?"

Xu Yingxian pulled him: "The commander gave the order, we are doing the job, don't make any trouble!"

The cavalry team of nearly 300 people immediately headed east, neither returning to the mine nor sending a message back.

Seeing that Hong Chenglue was leading the way and no one was around him, Wu Qing rode his horse to keep pace with him, and then asked: "General Hong did it on purpose?"

Hong Chenglue didn't even raise his eyelids: "What?"

"You avoided the shortest route to Xinhuang Town." Wu Qing was doing business in Yuanbei and was familiar with the local road conditions. "If we go this way, it will take us half an hour longer."

"But it's safe."

Wu Qing was shocked, thought for a while and said: "You mean, someone has occupied that route? Is it...Xiazhou army?"

This is the territory of Xiazhou, and the army of General He is of course confident in their travel, unlike them who have to sneak around.

Hong Chengluo glanced at him: "Boss Wu is a smart man. Nian Zanli should ask you to be a staff member."

"No, I am lazy and undisciplined by nature."

"The spy didn't come back. I think he was caught. Then we have to be prepared that the hiding place has been leaked. The safest way is to change places, but General Baili's two men don't agree. ”

"If I were He Chunhua, once I found out that the people from Xunzhou were hiding in the abandoned mines in Bailu Town, I would probably send troops to suppress them." Hong Chenglue said slowly, "This man has a good reputation. He came to Xiazhou to seek fame and promotion. I will burn it. It’s hard to explain why he went to the front line, and it’s even harder to explain when he returns to the state capital. He will definitely lose his face.”

"You also know the situation here in Xiazhou. He Chunhua has been controlled by the four major families for many years. He Chunhua finally established a foothold here with two victories. If he goes back like this this time, his prestige will be at least halved, and it will be so easy to control him in the future. Military affairs?"

Wu Qing smiled: "Yes, I'm afraid that by then the four major families will trip up and break one of his legs."

"Besides, even if he doesn't come to us now, we might have to stop his food transport team later. The complicated terrain of the rocky beach north of Xinhuang is very suitable for an ambush. So he will definitely defeat him. If If you find out about our whereabouts, you can't miss this opportunity." Hong Chenglue held the reins and sat leisurely, his tone full of murderous intent, "I will help him."

Wu Qing smiled slightly. General Hong used Bai Liqing, his two generals, and nearly a hundred old, weak, sick and disabled as bait! When He Chunhua led his troops to seize the bait, the rear area must be empty, so General Hong rushed to burn Xinhuang's food and grass!

This was a cruel move. The Xiazhou army wounded so many Xunzhou cavalry, thinking that these would become Hong Chenglue's burden. Unexpectedly, in the end, it became the bait to fish out themselves.

However, General Hong treated Bai Liqing and his two generals very harshly.

After Wu Qing delivered the military order to pay tribute to the New Year, it became clear that Bai Liqing was originally in charge of the Xunzhou Rangers, but now Hong Chenglue suddenly parachuted in and took away his command. Bailiqing felt unhappy and had not been getting along well with Hong Chenglue these days.

On the other hand, He Chunhua helped him get rid of these disobedient leaders and the old, weak, sick and disabled, and then he justifiably took over the Xunzhou Rangers - an army can only listen to one voice.

Wu Qing originally thought that Hong Chenglue would use some gentle methods, but it seemed that he didn't have the patience.

He Lingchuan was sleeping soundly when someone unexpectedly tapped him on the shoulder:

"Young Master, wake up!"

He Lingchuan shook his head and rubbed his eyes: "What?" He didn't dream about Panlong City, so he was boring.

"There is some movement down there." Mao Tao whispered, "It seems that there are people and horses mobilizing." The young man is also good at sleeping. He uses a roll of clothes as a pillow and lies on the floor to sleep until he snores. The quality of his sleep is excellent.

He didn't know that He Lingchuan was a patrolman in Panlong's Dreamland, and he was accustomed to eating and sleeping in the open.

"Mobilizing troops?" He Lingchuan suddenly woke up, "How many people are there?"

"Their horses were originally kept in the forest, but now they are basically brought back and saddled."

Where is this going? He Lingchuan rolled his eyes. Could it be that Hong Chenglue was going out to plunder supplies?

He should have saved enough food by defeating Wu Shaoyi, so he won't have to worry about it in the short term. He even has extra to distribute to the people of Bailu Town; is he going to rob medicine?

Then there is no need to dispatch so many people.

Could it be?

Shan Youjun whispered: "Should these guys want to withdraw?"

"It's possible." He Lingchuan thought for a while, "After all, the spies they sent to Bailu Town never came back. Maybe the man named Hong is so cautious."

The three of them made up their minds to follow.

However, He Lingchuan was a little confused by the Xunzhou people's next operation:

The main force was ready and mounted, and set off in a hurry.

However, the salt soldiers around the mine were not removed. Mao Tao went to conduct reconnaissance and found out that there were still people down there.

There are quite a few left.

Then they are not going to relocate and set up camp elsewhere?

But where are these more than 200 Xunzhou cavalry going?

The three of them retreated quietly, leading their horses to follow them secretly.

The main force of the Xunzhou people went down the mountain first, seemingly in a half circle, wondering what they wanted to do.

It was getting late and the forest was getting darker. It became increasingly difficult for Mao Tao to detect the traces of the passing army, such as hoof prints and horse dung.

He Lingchuan held "Fu Sheng" habitually, and the coldness from the handle helped him think.

At this moment, he suddenly felt palpitations, as if a huge crisis was coming.

He Lingchuan's ears moved, as if he heard the suppressed breathing in the silent mountains, and there were more than one person!

He couldn't help shouting: "Be careful!"

As soon as the words were spoken, an arrow came from the sky and shot towards Maotao with a "whoosh" sound.
