Chapter 544 The Disappearing North Prisoner
"no, I can not!"

Wei Zhen finally came back to his senses, and hurriedly said: "Admiral, before the army went north, Governor Wang had already guessed that this might be a trick by the Beilu to lure the enemy, so he sent a large number of sentry cavalry in advance to search around around Taiyuan, but found nothing. , It is precisely because of this that Governor Wang was sure that the northern captives had really escaped, so he ordered the army to go north.

The last general found out that the northern captives were short of food. Maybe the [-] northern captives fled north ahead of time because of lack of food. They didn't go south. The words of the refugees were not enough to be believed, and they didn't see everything! "

What Wei Zhen said made some sense.

"Admiral, could it be that the food was snatched by the northern captives with good luck, instead of being given by the big family in Shanxi? They are really short of food, and it's not because they have other plans. This is just a cover-up to facilitate their quick escape. "

Li Rusong thought of another possibility.

Xiao Ruxun looked at Li Rusong, then at Wei Zhen, thought over and over again, and said, "Anyway, important military affairs cannot be left unattended, so I decided to lead my troops to the south to join Governor Wang, and then try to do something else, General Wei, Where should your troops go?"

"According to the governor's order, go all the way north, recover Pingxingguan, and then do what he wants."

Xiao Ruxun nodded: "I have sent [-] soldiers to recover Pingxingguan. I am worried that there will be insufficient troops and it will be difficult to recover. You can lead people northward! I will lead troops southward."

Wei Zhen froze for a moment, then nodded.

"promise!"

The two armies split up to move, and after cleaning the battlefield, Li Rusong asked Xiao Ruxun in surprise, "Admiral, the movements of the 5000 northern captives are very strange, and they have even disappeared. If something goes wrong, it's hard to fight against the enemy!"

Xiao Ruxun shook his head.

"Not to mention whether the northern captives are in Shanxi or not, the commander-in-chief of this battle is Governor Wang. Although I have the title of admiral, but I am under the Governor-General, it is an exception to have His Majesty's permission to not be restrained by the Governor-General. Governor Wang's soldiers and horses are afraid of offending Governor Wang, and at this critical moment, I shouldn't start another internal dispute."

Li Rusong immediately understood what Xiao Ruxun meant by doing this.

He is just an independent front army, not the commander-in-chief of this battle. This battle is too involved, and the commander-in-chief is General Wen, not him.

"I'll wait and go south quickly! I always have some doubts. Those northern captives may not have returned north, but are still dormant somewhere in Shanxi. The plan is not small."

When Xiao Ruxun said this, Li Rusong also felt that the matter was serious, so he quickly assembled his troops and prepared to go south together.

At this very moment, in the Taihang Mountains, tens of miles away to the east of Taiyuan, a small village in the mountains is suffering a tragic disaster.

The terrible northern captives who came out of nowhere suddenly descended on their small village. This small village with a population of only a thousand people was devastated in an instant. All the men were killed, and the young women were killed. He was left to be played by those beastly northern captives.

Poor those two or three hundred women, how could they be the opponents of the countless northern captives? After being humiliated by turns, they basically all died miserably. Before nightfall, there was no life in this village.

"Hahahahahaha! Hahahahahaha! The military advisor is really my lucky general! Ahhahahahaha! Those stupid Han people didn't even notice us! Hahahahahaha!"

With his chest bare, Lalik sat on a warm kang that had already been lit. He ate horse meat and drank heavily, and patted Liu Xi on the shoulder from time to time. Very much appreciated.

"It is an honor for my subordinates to be able to work for the king, but the king must remember not to let the soldiers set fire, otherwise they will be discovered by the Ming army sentry, and they will be destroyed for many days."

Liu Xi whispered very flatteringly.

"Hahaha, I know, I know, the king has already ordered that whoever dares to light a fire, I will put him on the fire and roast him and eat him! Hahahaha! Military teacher, tell me, there are really so many people in Taiyuan city. Are gold and silver treasures really worth more than these grains?"

Liu Xi nodded.

"We still have to leave here and go to the west in the end. We can take some of these grains and eat them on the road. If we take them all away, the speed will be very slow. The lack of grain in the Ming court does not mean that the countries and tribes in the west are also short of grain. , as long as you have money, gold and silver, you can buy anything, food will be eaten up, but money can be saved.

Those families in Taiyuan City have unimaginable wealth. The gold and silver wealth they have accumulated over a hundred years are hidden in their homes, and there are countless beautiful girls, all waiting for the king to get them. "

Lalik fantasized about the glittering gold and silver treasures, and those delicate and tender Han daughters, and couldn't help wiping the saliva from the corners of his mouth.

"Okay, okay, okay, it's not in vain that I trust you so much! Military advisor, when Taiyuan City is captured, you should choose those gold and silver treasures first, and those women, you should choose first! This king will make the decision for you!"

Liu Xi looked happy, and bowed deeply: "Thank you, Your Majesty!"

"hahahahahahahahaha……"

Ralik's crazy laughter echoed in this originally cozy hut.

"My lord, the main force of the Ming army has all moved north. Taiyuan City has allowed residents to go out to collect firewood and refugees to leave. This is the best time for us to attack the city. If we seize the opportunity to break through the Taiyuan city defenses in one fell swoop, everything in the city will belong to the city. Your Majesty, the Ming army can't react, and when they come to their senses, we have already left."

Ralek kept nodding: "Yes, yes, yes! We've already left! Hahaha! It's still a brilliant military strategist who used a knife to kill people, and got rid of the woman's bodyguards. That woman is no longer a threat. I don’t have to worry about it anymore, hahahaha! Let’s go back this time, the world is so big, let us have fun!”

Looking at Lalike's arrogant appearance, Liu Xi also felt a little mocking in his heart. For this simple-minded idiot with well-developed limbs, if he hadn't planned many times for him, would he have come to where he is today?Very few people know the specific location of the big cave where the big households in Shanxi store grain, and I happen to be one of them.

The large and small grain storage caves in the mountains not only have food, but also have an extremely wide space, and are also ventilated. All Lalik's men and horses are arranged in it to hide. Mountain trails, but it is impossible to know where the hidden grain caves that have been disguised to the extreme are.

After deceiving those sentry cavalry, the main force of Lalik was completely safe. The main force of the Ming army left Taiyuan City soon. There were only 2 guards left in the huge Taiyuan City, and the residents were allowed to go out to collect firewood. That's stupid Guard, this is simply the way to death.

None of the generals of the Ming army thought about what their purpose was, because they couldn't put themselves in their own shoes and think about problems from their own perspective, so they couldn't find their own flaws.

Moreover, it is impossible for them to know their own existence. If they don't know these grain storage caves, they don't know how they cheated and brought the main force of the northern captives out of Taiyuan city.

They could only stare blankly, watching themselves complete this feat.

As for those Liu family members in Taiyuan City.

It was planned by you, and you asked me to do it, but you are so greedy, but you never expected that Beilu would be even more greedy!
You almost ruined my family, and I want you to be wiped out. I have no way out. In order to survive and revenge, I will send you all to the eighteenth floor of purgatory, where you will never be reborn forever!
