Mingshi

Chapter 1202 See Through
Luo Xin looked at the upstream road: "Someone blocked the river upstream."

The people around were stunned for a moment, and their eyes fell on the river bed.They are all too familiar with this river, and they are all soldiers. They blocked the river, and then when they were crossing the river, they exploded the river, and the blocked river would rush down. At that time, it was this wooden river. The bridge will also be washed away, and most people will lose their combat effectiveness.When the time comes, the thieves will charge straight at them, how can they survive?
Everyone couldn't help but tremble, and they admired Luo Xin even more in their hearts.At the same time, they also settled down in their hearts. They have a kind of blind worship for Luo Xin, thinking that as long as Luo Xin is around, everything will not be a problem.

Luo Xin looked towards the other side, he knew that there must be spies from the other side on the other side, and when he reached the wooden bridge, those spies would send out a signal, and the upstream would explode the blockade.It's just that those spies are on the other side, and they can't be caught now.

"Huh? Not necessarily!"

Reaching out his hand, he greeted the general of the thousand cavalry. Wu Tong once followed Luo Xin across the grassland, and he was also Luo Xin's old subordinate.Seeing Luo Xin greet him, he hastily urged his horse over and said:
"Master Hou!"

"Do you understand?" Luo Xin's face showed the meaning of school examination.

Seeing the look on Luo Xin's face, why didn't Wu Tong know that Luo Xin was testing himself?Immediately, he was refreshed, his mind was focused, and he nodded and said:

"Ok!"

"Tell me, what are you going to do?"

Wu Tong thought for a moment and said: "If the thief wants to blow up the blocked river at the right time, he must know the time when Lord Hou passes the wooden bridge. Therefore, there must be the other side's spies nearby, and there should be an ambush People and horses, prepare to attack us immediately when the river water smashes us into pieces."

"Not bad!" Luo Xin showed approval on his face, and continued to ask: "Then where do you think the other party's spies and ambushes are?"

"On the other side!" Wu Tong said with a firm expression: "We are on the way, there are constant scouts, and they dare not leave ambushes on this side of the river, otherwise we will be discovered. Therefore, they must be ambushing on the other side of the river, and the ambushes are far away There should still be a certain distance on the other side of the river, because before we cross the river, we will definitely send scouts to cross the river to investigate. However, the other party’s spies should be not far from the other side, such as dressing up as a fisherman, even if our scouts see When our army crosses the river, the spies will send out a signal, and the upstream will start to blow up the channel, and at the same time, the ambushes on the other side will start rushing towards this side."

"Then what should we do?" Luo Xin continued to assess Wu Tong.

Wu Tong thought for a moment and said: "Master Hou, we will send 100 people to cross the bridge first, and the rest will stand still. The spies on the other side will definitely think that it is our scouts crossing the river to investigate, and will not send out a signal. Hundreds of scouts will capture the opponent's spies in the shortest possible time. In this way, those spies will have no chance to send out a signal. We will find out where the ambush is, and then go and kill those ambush soldiers."

Luo Xin showed approval on his face and said, "Go."

"Yes!"

Wu Tong also had an excited expression on his face. This is Luo Xin personally evaluating him. If he does well this time, Luo Xin will definitely recommend him to Ma Fang, and he will become a great success.Hastily summoned a hundred scouts and whispered:
"After crossing the river, no matter whether it is suspicious or not, I will arrest and search anyone who is found."

"Yes!"

A hundred scouts rode across the wooden bridge with a whoosh, and when they reached the opposite bank, they parted with a whoosh, and galloped away in all directions.

These people were all experienced old scouts, but within two quarters of an hour, eight people were arrested.Ninety scouts still stayed on the other side, ten scouts pressed eight people to come to Luo Xin.With a kick to their legs, the eight of them knelt down in front of Luo Xin.A scout held five fireworks in his arms and said:
"Master Hou, it was found from these five people."

Luo Xin nodded and said: "Take these five people separately for interrogation. If you don't tell them once, then chop off one finger until all ten fingers and ten toes are chopped off. Then chop off the limbs. If you don't say anything, Just throw it there and let them bleed to death."

"I said, my lord, I said, forgive me!"

Before Wu Tong could answer, the five people were so frightened that they began to cry.Luo Xin shouted: "Shut up!"

The crying of the five people stopped abruptly, and Luo Dao said, "Interrogate them separately, and whoever's statement is different from the other four's will be interrogated slowly with fingers chopped off."

"Yes!"

Wu Tong waved his hand, and ten soldiers came out, and every two soldiers supported one person and left, each looking for a place to interrogate.

In less than a quarter of an hour, the ten soldiers came back with five spies one after another, and they gave each other a statement, which was completely consistent.Luo Xin had already learned from the mouths of the five people that the person who ambushed him this time was actually Zhang Wang, so he couldn't help but sneer in his heart.

I didn't go to look for him, but he took the initiative to send it to my door.

At the same time, I also learned from the mouths of the five spies that the remaining three people were not Taihang Mountain bandits, but nearby residents.But at this time, he couldn't let them go home. After comforting the three people, he asked the ten soldiers to look at the eight people, and then looked at Wu Tong and said:
"Wu Tong, what should we do next?"

Wu Tong cheered up and said, "Master Hou, the opponent has only 3000 people, and they are not cavalry, they are all mobs. The general will be able to wipe them out with a thousand cavalry."

"Okay!" Luo Xin nodded and said, "You take a thousand cavalry to the other side and wipe out the three thousand bandits. I will go upstream to have a look."

"Master Hou, don't do it!" Wu Tong was anxious at the time, Luo Xin had only fifty people around him, if something went wrong upstream, who would he cry to?
Luo Xin waved his hand and said, "There must not be many people in the upper reaches who are going to blow up and block the riverbed. There should be only a dozen or so of us. Fifty of us are enough."

"Master Hou, let's go upstream together after we wipe out the three thousand bandits."

"You have a thousand cavalry fighting with three thousand bandits. With such a big momentum, the upper reaches will not know? By the time you go to the upper reaches, they will have already run away."

Wu Tong hesitated for a moment and said, "Master Hou, you bring another hundred cavalry."

Luo Xin also knew that if he did not agree, Wu Tong would definitely not agree with him to go upstream, so he nodded and said:

"Just give me fifty more cavalry."

"it is good!"

Wu Tong also nodded in agreement, and immediately picked out fifty cavalrymen, told them to protect Luo Xin, and rushed towards the wooden bridge with the rest of the cavalry.

"go!"

Luo Xin also took fifty servants and fifty cavalrymen and rushed towards the upper reaches.
