Intermittently, several other people were called, and the questions asked were basically the same. Although each person's answers were slightly different, Jimu and the others basically found out the situation around Tianshui Station Fort.

After seeing everyone off, Gao Qi sighed softly and said, "I'm afraid I won't be able to hide this from coming to Liaobei for long. Fortunately, I have reached the hinterland of the Qing army's rule, and it won't have much impact in one or two days."

Jimu nodded silently and said nothing.

Gao Qi looked up at Jimu, and finally couldn't help asking, "Ji Guerrilla, what are your plans next?" Gao Qi was the general of the Ming Dynasty, and Jimu was the general of the guerrilla. From his position, Gao Qi was higher than Jimu, but he knew that Jimu had always been the one who really controlled this army. He was able to survive in the Qing army and his ability to observe words and expressions was naturally not weak. At this time, Gao Qi would definitely not take his position as the general of the rank of the general seriously, and he regarded Jimu as the main general who controlled the overall situation while speaking.

Before Jimu could answer, Han Yong walked in from outside. He picked up the teapot on the table and poured himself a bowl, picked it up and drank it all. "Those people are so troublesome. A group of little girls are crying and they are upset when they hear it."

Gao Qi smiled and said, "Han Shouge is not married yet! When you learn about the little girl's fun, you won't feel upset."

Han Yong gave Gao Qi a blank look and turned to Jimu and said, "Guerrilla, I asked them, there will be a day's journey from their village to Tianshui Station Fort. In other words, if the journey goes well, they should be home at this time tomorrow night. They are still a little panicked. They will cry when they ask to separate them, so let them all stay in that room for the time being! Guerrilla, it is not a problem to drag on like this, we must leave as soon as possible."

Jimu nodded and was silent for a while, "The order given by the military gate is to let us go deep into the hinterland of the Qing army, and it is best to capture one or two important cities to shock the Manchu captives. At the same time, it is obvious to the Han people in Liao that the Ming Dynasty did not completely give up on them. Originally, the target I chose was Liaoyang, but according to the Qing army captured in Tianshui Station Fort and these people said, the number of regular Qing troops in Liaoyang should be more than 10,000. In addition to the servants and Aha under the Manchu nobles, the number of troops can be fought will not be less than 30,000. Our two thousand light cavalry has the advantage of coming and going freely. If we enter the city, we lose all our advantages and face sieges several times that of the Qing army. Even if we have luck in achieving some results, the losses will inevitably be huge. Such a result does not meet the requirements of the military gate to minimize losses as much as possible."

Gao Qi nodded and said, "Liaoyang is an important town in Liaodong. In addition to Shenyang, it is the city where Manchus gather the most. It is indeed a bit unrealistic to attack with two thousand light cavalry. But we take such a strange risk. If we don't achieve some sufficient results to shock the Manchus, it seems a bit unreasonable."

Jimu dipped his index finger in a tea bowl, and pointed a few points on the table randomly, saying to Gao Qi: "General Gao Shen, suppose this is the Tianshui Station Fort, from here to the west, it is Liaoyang, and the straight line distance between the two is about one hundred miles. But from Tianshui Station Fort to Liaoyang, in addition to crossing the remaining line of Anping Mountain, you also have to cross the Tang River. Even the fastest horse may take two days on the road. But less than twenty miles east of Tianshui Station Fort is Lianshan Pass, and then to the south, thirty miles

There are two Qing army forts in the scope of the area, Tongyuan Fort and Qingtaiyu Fort. The triangular area formed by the Tianshui Station Fort and these two forts is Liu Mazi's range of activities. Liu Mazi has not many people today, but he is familiar with the nearby terrain that he can escape to this day. According to what these people said, the Qing army among several nearby forts were transferred to conquer him. But such a large area is full of mountains and forests. It is impossible for the Qing army to capture Liu Mazi without dispersing its troops."

Gao Qi was stunned after hearing this and said, "Does Ji Guerrilla want to eat these scattered Qing troops while the chaos?"

Jimu nodded, "Most of the Qing army went to fight against Liu Mazi. The Qing army in the fort and the checkpoints must be similar to the situation of Tianshui Station Fort, and there will definitely not be too many soldiers left behind. If we can capture Lianshan Pass, Tongyuan Fort and Qingtaiyu Fort, the impact will not be as good as capturing Liaoyang, but it will be enough to shock the Qing army. Moreover, we can also use this to help Liu Mazi. Although I don't think he can play a big role in the hinterland of the Qing army, it is always good to leave a nail here."

Gao Qi pondered for a moment and said with hesitation: "But in this way, our army's whereabouts will be exposed to the Qing army faster. According to what they said, the Qing army nearby should have a number of 5,000, which is not the Qing army that may come from Liaoyang at any time."

Jimu said: "I know, but I mentioned just now that it will take at least two days to send a message from Tianshui Station Fort to Liaoyang, and the Qing army around is in this area. From their discovery of us, to confirming our true identity, and then to sending a message to Liaoyang, five or six days have passed. If we can make good use of this period, all we can deal with is the five thousand Qing troops in this area. The only problem is that these Qing troops have always been on the front line, and their combat power and vigilance are much higher than the garrisons in Tianshui Station Fort. I don't expect to eat them completely, I just want to take this second fort and kill more Qing troops to the greatest extent."

Han Yong's eyes lit up, "Guerrilla, we can use some soldiers to pretend to be Liu Mazi, lead these Qing troops to the pre-ambush site, and then deal with them fiercely. Although our troops are less than the Qing army, they are scattered and we are concentrated, and we can always find opportunities."

Jimu looked up at Gao Qi standing and said, "General Gao Shen, what do you think?"

Gao Qi thought for a moment, nodded gently and said, "I think it's feasible. But I think we'd better focus on taking Lianshan Pass first. It's closest to Tianshui Station Fort, and it's the place where the Qing army stores military supplies. If we take it, the Qing army will definitely return to rescue, and we can set up an ambush on their way back."

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content behind! Seeing the soldiers outside tidying up their luggage, everyone in the room breathed a sigh of relief. Lao Gao whispered to the groom: "Lao Zhang, it seems that they are leaving."

The groom pulled the corner of his mouth and whispered: "It should be, but I don't know where they will go?"

Lao Gao muttered, "No matter where they are going! We will be able to leave soon anyway. But the meat was so delicious yesterday. I wonder if I can eat it in the future?"

A Niu smiled dryly and said, "Uncle Gao, you are greedy, you are even more greedy than the yellow dog at the entrance of the village."

Lao Gao reached out and patted A Niu on the back of the head, then twisted his ear and said, "I'm still talking about it! When I brought it over, you kid robbed it quickly and ate a lot."

A Niu screamed, "Uncle Gao, it hurts..."

Lao Gao twisted it hard again before letting go, "From the future, talk to you Uncle Gao, otherwise I will teach you how to be a human being for your dead parents."

A Niu rubbed his red ears and whispered in aggrieved manner: "Are you just kidding you? So hard?" His pain and dare not speak caused everyone to laugh, and the dull atmosphere in the room was immediately wiped out.

At this moment, a messy footsteps suddenly sounded outside the door. Gao Qi bent down and walked into the room with a few soldiers. He glanced around and smiled faintly: "My fellow villagers, I am Gao Qi, the general of the Ming Dynasty's Liao army, and I was ordered to come to attack the Manchus. Because this trip is kept confidential, I have to keep you here temporarily. However, you can go home soon. But before this, you still need to cooperate and not try to escape. Otherwise, for the safety of my soldiers, I can only choose to kill you."

Most people's faces were full of shock. Although some people had told them that these were Ming troops after they came back, they heard completely differently from others. They didn't understand the Liao army, the generals, etc., but seeing that the position of the official position must be quite low, they were shocked in their hearts.

Gao Qi took a short bench from the side and sat down, lowered his posture. Then he turned around and took a package from the soldiers behind. After opening it, more than a dozen bright silver ingots appeared inside. He reached out and pushed several ingots to the ground in front of him, and said slowly: "Now we are going to Lianshan Pass, we need a guide for us. As long as we arrive at the place, these ingots are yours. Are there anyone who is particularly familiar with the surrounding terrain? Let's stand up?" In addition to obtaining sufficient food, there are more than 2,000 taels of silver. It may be distributed to the soldiers to motivate them, but at this time it is just a drag.

These people are all impoverished ordinary people, and they have never seen broken silver before, let alone such a big ingot. Each of them has their eyes widened, and their eyes are full of greed.

After a while, the man named A Niu suddenly stood up and said, "I... I know, in the past, I followed Ah Zhang to transport grain there." Old Gao quickly pulled A Niu's pants and wanted to pull him down, but A Niu threw it away. "Uncle Gao, such a large piece of silver can be eaten for several years if you buy grain!"

Gao Qi looked at the young man in front of him, and asked with a smile: "What's the name? Can you ride a horse?"

A Niu replied: "Gao A Niu, how about it, my riding skills are the best in our village."

Gao Qi waved his hand to let him approach, picked up the ingots on the ground and handed them to him, "Then these ingots are yours."

A Niu took it happily, but quickly retreated to Uncle Gao, took out two of them and handed them to him and said, "Uncle Gao, if my parents hadn't been you after they died, I would have starved to death. These two were for you."

Gao Qi nodded in appreciation, then he looked at the groom and said, "This old man, you are the uncle Zhang in this young man's words!"

The groom stood up with a sad face, "Report to Jun Ye, yes."

Gao Qi took out a few more ingots from the package, "Then you go together too!"

The groom was silent for a moment, and finally shook his head, "June, I don't want ingots, but I hope you can promise me something."
