Zhao Han was marching fast when suddenly a cavalry appeared in front of him. Seeing them coming, he retreated dozens of steps immediately, but stayed there to observe the situation.
If the target is exposed, someone must have rushed to Fucheng to report.
There are not many horses in Jiangxi, and there are water nets everywhere. Riding a horse is far less convenient than taking a boat.
Being able to send sentry riders out to investigate, it is obvious that the government has become alert!
"Have a meal!"
Zhao Han left in no hurry, and ordered eight hundred soldiers to gather for dinner.
Fei Ruhe gnawed on the pancake, and said worriedly: "We missed our whereabouts, and the gate of Fucheng must be closed."
Huang Yao also said: "I used to go to the county government with grain deposits, but I was left behind to build the city. The city is very tall and large, with the Gan River on the east, and moats on the south and north sides. There is no moat on the northwest side, but there are hills far away. If you block it, it will be a depression."
Jiang Dashan said: "I also went to the county government with my food. If there is no warship, I can only attack the city from the north and south. But outside the city are all street houses. When we pass through the market, the city can quickly close the city." Door."
Stealing a city is not so easy to steal, especially a big city near water like Ji'an.
Even if there are no soldiers to defend, as long as the city gate is closed, you will have to climb the wall for a long time, and you have to get a lot of ladders.
After filling his stomach, Zhao Han patted his buttocks to stand up, and suddenly said: "Go north!"
The eight hundred soldiers suddenly turned around. They had just eaten their fill, and their marching speed was very slow, as if they were on an armed outing.
The sentry cavalry trailed far behind, following all the way until it was getting dark, and then galloped back to Fucheng to report: "My lord, the thieves have gone to the north and west, and they may be fleeing to Anfu County."
"It's fine if you don't come to Fucheng, it's fine if you don't come to Fucheng!" Xu Fusheng finally breathed a sigh of relief, although Anfu County is also under the jurisdiction of his prefect.
After calming down a little, Xu Fusheng ordered again: "Take a boat and report to the governor. He said there was a group of bandits heading towards Anfu County."
Zhao Han marched too fast. Although his whereabouts were exposed, no one knew his details. They only knew that he was a bandit in Xuanhua Township.
In fact, thieves are running around all over the place now
Yongyang Town.
Xie Xuelong received reports from various ministries, and his face was very ugly. His initial combat intention had already been declared a failure.
Except for Zhao Han, he didn't pay attention to the other rebels, so he divided his troops north and south to expel them. The purpose of driving those unprofessional thieves towards Wuxing Town is to get together big and small rebels.
At that time, the rebels seem to have many soldiers, but in fact their sources are complicated, and there are bound to be many internal contradictions.
Moreover, gathering in the direction of Wuxing Town, there are mountains on three sides blocking it, and it is more convenient to catch them all in one go. The worst situation is that the rebels escape into the mountains.
?Switching to other leaders of the Peasant Army, if anyone has great prestige, he will definitely gather troops in series to fight against the government together. The rebels in Shanxi and Shaanxi provinces have always done that, because they can't beat officers and soldiers alone.
But Zhao Han didn't accept the trick. Instead of going out to gather the thieves, he even went missing.
The bandit leaders in the neighboring towns thought that Zhao Han had led someone away, so they also thought about running away.
?The peasant army north of Heshui, dragging their families and their families, crossed the mountains and fled straight to Anfu County. The peasant army south of Heshui bypassed the mountains and headed to the west of Taihe County.
Killing the landlord and dividing the land is an act of banditry.
When the officers and soldiers arrived, the thieves were terrified and turned into two bands of rogues from the north and the south.
Zhao Han also miscalculated, he wanted those thieves to help him stop the officers and soldiers for a few days. But others are not stupid, since they can't beat the officers and soldiers, they just play fleeing tactics and go to the neighboring states and counties.
"What do you think?" Xie Xuelong asked.
Staff Li Zongxue said: "Fu Shuai, immediately send an order to Anfu and Taihe counties to order the county magistrates to unite with the gentry to recruit village braves to defend the place as soon as possible. Bandits, bandits, don't let them run around, otherwise the bandits will grow bigger and bigger."
Zuo Xiaocheng said: "Zhao bandits are the serious troubles, but don't care about those rogues, just take a boat and go straight to Huangjia Town!"
Li Zongxue also suggested: "Break Huangjia Town first, and then go back to chase and kill the bandits. By then, it will be winter, and Anfu County and Taihe County should also have Xiangyong. We will send troops to hunt down and intercept the bandits. Dong will also kill the bandits." freeze to death."
Xie Xuelong thought about it for a long time, then decided: "Let's follow this strategy and send troops to Huangjia Town immediately!"
Others were ordered to do errands, Xie Xuelong sat alone in the handsome tent, with a deep worry in his heart.
According to the confession of the rebel captives, "Mr. Zhao" refused to?Well These animals are also borrowed from the landlord.
"What? Back again?"
Fei Ruhe said depressedly: "We are here, wandering around for several days, I am about to be dizzy! Didn't we go to Anfu County? Why did we go back to Fucheng?"
"You are dizzy, and the officers and soldiers must be even more dizzy," Zhao Han said with a smile, "Nowadays, the villages and towns around Fucheng are full of rebels. We won't be afraid of showing our whereabouts when we go back."
Huang Shunde, the commander of the army, muttered: "It is true that you are not afraid of exposing your whereabouts, but there are riots everywhere outside the city, and the city is not heavily defended?"
"Who said that after returning to Ji'an Mansion, they must go to attack the city?" Zhao Han asked back.
Huang Yao asked: "Then what shall we fight?"
"Chaoguan!" Zhao Han laughed loudly, "Chaoguan has a lot of money, and there are also a lot of boats. If you grab the silver, you can slip away by boat."
Jiang Dashan scratched his head and said, "But when we set off from Wuxing Town, didn't we agree to attack Fucheng?"
Zhao Han explained: "In this war, you have to adapt to the situation. How can you do whatever you want? We found out and the magistrate closed the city gate, so we can only go to other places. After disrupting the surrounding villages and towns, The government is very confused. They only know that we are going to Anfu County. I have already asked someone. The shortest way to Anfu County is to take a boat from Lushui River. The governor Xie Xuelong must have been lured to Anfu. At this time, Let's kill the carbine again, how can the Ji'an mansion bear it?"
Fei Ruhe also learned the art of war, and he understood: "This is called attacking east and west, and it is also called attacking the enemy unprepared. It is false and true, and false and true. Next time I lead troops, I can do the same."</div>
