Chapter 22 Wind Cirrus Cloud

An error occurred while processing s private files

Several military commanders rushed to the commander's mansion one after another. Gao Baolong was the last one, and ran with sweat.

Li Hu took out the file and handed it to several military commanders, asking them to take a look in turn. He used a cinnabar pen to draw a line under the news of the Pirate Hou Gai and Wu Chitian, which was very eye-catching.

Luo Qinghan and Dong Xiaohou looked shocked when they saw Hou Ge's name. Obviously, they didn't expect that Hou Ge would turn from a horse thief to a pirate a few years later.

Mao Jun had no expression on his face. He knew that this man was not only a famous thief, but also a capricious villain. Within a few years, his masters changed one after another.

It was Zhang Gao'er's turn, and he was surprised, "I didn't expect Feng Juanyun to be alive."

Hearing the three words "Wind and Cloud", Gao Baolong hurriedly took the file from Zhang Gao'er, took a look, and was immediately excited and exclaimed, "He is still alive, he is still alive."

"You all know him?" Li Hu asked.

"When the Huliechuan Alliance was in the United States, he was one of the commanders of the 36 rebels. Although he had never met, we knew this person." Luo Qinghan said.

Li Hu looked at Zhang Gao'er.

"When I was a horse thief, the name of Fengjueyun had spread throughout the desert." Zhang Gao'er's face showed a rare look of admiration. "About seven or eight years ago, because of his lack of strength, I joined forces with him and did several big deals." Zhang Gao'er was a horse thief from Shangjing Road, and was active in the desert grassland. Hou Guy was a horse thief from Zhongjing Road, and was active in the Mayushan and Dasonglin. Two horse thieves were in the west and the other in the east, and they joined forces to rob the robbery. "Later, he washed his hands and went to rebel, and invited me to join the rebel army, but I didn't go. When I wanted to rebel, I would find him again. But he disappeared. I always thought he was killed by the Khitans, but I didn't expect him to be alive."

Li Hu looked at Gao Baolong again.

"Feng Juanyun is the subordinate of the Bohai King." Gao Baolong said, "After the establishment of the Bohai Kingdom, the Bohai King appointed him as the commander of the Shenzhou Guards' Personal Army. After the fall of Tokyo, he retreated with the Bohai King and retreated to Changxing Island. He had no way to retreat, and was finally surrounded and killed by the Jin army. The entire army was wiped out. The Bohai King was dead, and I thought he was dead too. I didn't expect him to be alive. This Wu Chitian turned out to be a pirate in the Liaohai Sea. After the founding of the Bohai King, he was immediately dependent and became the commander of the Bohai Naval Army. After the fall of Tokyo, the Bohai King planned to retreat from the sea, but he knew that the strong wind suddenly broke out. The entire navy was wiped out. I thought he was buried in the sea, but I didn't expect that he would survive."

Then, Gao Baolong asked in confusion: "General General, are you here to tell us about this?"

Li Hu smiled and shook his head, stood up and walked to the side of the map, and then pointed to Jinzhou on the map, "If Hou Jia and Wu Chitian landed from the sea and attacked the rear of Jinzhou and cut off the Liao army's food route, then can it help us capture Jinzhou?"

The military commanders looked at Li Hu and didn't react for a long time. They had never thought about this kind of thing, and in fact it was impossible. They said, "Let's take a step back. Even if we find it, they are willing to return to the rebel army, but do they have an army? Can a thousand and eight hundred pirates cut off the Liao army's food route?"

"There are many pirates." Chai Yun interrupted and said what he knew, "Since Hou Jiao and Wu Caitian have Yun team, sea team, and ships, two or three thousand people should have."

"Maybe more than that," said Gao Baolong. "There were tens of thousands of troops retreating with the Bohai King. In the end, many troops might have fled to Qianshan and Changbai Mountain. If Hou Gu and Wu Chitian could gather the escaped soldiers, they would rebuild the Bohai Army."

Gao Baolong reminded Chai Yun after saying this, and he immediately said: "There is indeed a Bohai Army in the Qianshan area. When I was in Liaoxing Army, I sent a scout across the sea to the Jin Kingdom to investigate military information. According to the scout's report, there was a Bohai Army in Qianshan. The Jin army repeatedly encircled and suppressed them, but they were not successful. If nothing unexpected happened, this Bohai Army should still be persisting. If Baoshushang speculated that it was good, then this Bohai Army must have something to do with Hou Gui."

Dong Xiaochou couldn't help it anymore. Now he was in a bad mood and was still talking about these meaningless things. "No matter how many troops Hou Jia and Wu Caitian have, whether the Yun team, the Hai team and the Bohai Army have strength, the current problem is that it will snow. Even if we successfully retreated across the Daling River, we will not be able to attack Jinzhou in the short term. We will be trapped between the Daling River and the Xiaoling River." Dong Xiaochou walked to the map and drew a small circle between Jinzhou and Yizhou. "The weather is bad, there are obstacles in front and pursuers behind. The longer the time is delayed, the greater the possibility of our defeat. If the battle in Chengzhou is done, we can gain more time, but one thing is certain, before the spring and before the glaciers freeze, if we still haven't captured Jinzhou, we will escape and be wiped out."

Dong Xiaochou looked at Li Hu and several military commanders, and said bluntly, "In such a short time, it is not realistic for us to find Hou Gu and Wu Caitian."

What I mean is that Li Hu's plan is purely unrealistic fantasy.

Li Hu didn't care and shook his hand with a smile, "We can't beat Jinzhou at the moment. Since that's the case, why don't we look for it? Maybe God blessed us, have we found it? If we found it, will there be three-point hope to beat Jinzhou?"

Li Hu has always been this tone. The more difficult it is, the more we have to persist, and we cannot give up the slightest hope. What is particularly shocking is that he can successfully find hope every time, maybe it is luck or blessing from the gods, but in short, since Li Hu decided to look for it, then send someone to find it.

Yuanye sent his best scouts to prepare to win Liu Zhicheng. This man turned out to be the scout of the Huanglong Mansion's personal guards and made many military achievements. After the fall of Huanglong Mansion, he withdrew to Shangjing Road with the remaining troops of Huanglong Mansion and served under Yelu Mage's tent. In the battle of Ye Biaoyuan, he was also captured. Yuanye knew him and recommended him to Li Hu. This time he went to Liaohai to find Hou Gui.

Zhang Gao'er also sent an old horse thief, Han Lang. The old horse thief was originally a subordinate of Hou Ge. After Hou Ge's uprising failed, he fled to the desert and made a living with Zhang Gao'er. He not only knew Hou Ge, but also had a friendship, and was a suitable candidate.

Gao Baolong also sent a man named Gao Daxiong, a Bohai native. He was once the commander of the guard cavalry of the King of Bohai. He knew Hou Guai and Wu Caitian, and was also a suitable candidate.

Li Hu was not satisfied. He felt that these three people were not familiar with the sea. When they arrived at the beach, they looked dark and didn't know what to do. They had to find someone familiar with the sea, and it would be better to have some understanding of pirates. Where can I find such people? First, I look for them in the old camp. There are all kinds of people in the old camp.

The temporary commander of the old camp and the commander Hu Tu happened to be in the commander's mansion. Li Hu hurriedly found him and said his request. Hu Tu immediately recommended a person, named Xue Qing, a merchant engaged in maritime operations. How could he be in the old camp of the rebel army? This man was unlucky enough. Before the Battle of the Bison Yuan, he had just returned from the Song Dynasty and sent a batch of goods to the mountain city. However, the rebel army came and became a prisoner. Fortunately, Hu Tu made a fuss, so he put him beside him and prepared to make money from him.

Li Hu was overjoyed. This person was the best fit. So Li Hu immediately ordered to recruit Liu Zhicheng, Han Lang, Gao Yunfei and Xue Qing, and set off immediately to the Liaohai Sea to find Hou Jia and Wu Chitian.

No one expects to find these pirates. It is like finding a needle in a haystack. Unless a miracle occurs, Li Hu's idea inspired everyone. If an army can reach the rear of Jinzhou, cut off the food route of the Liao army in Jinzhou, and attack the main force of the rebel army forward and backward, then Jinzhou is very likely to conquer it.

What other rebels are there on Zhongjing Road? Zhang Guanyu’s Martial Army and Zhang Saba’s grain shooting army. Which of these two armies is closest to Jinzhou? Zhang Guanyu’s Martial Army.

Zhang Guanyu is attacking Lizhou. Before Dong Xiaochou left Xingzhong Prefecture, he had already sent someone to contact him and asked him to move to the Daling River line to support the main force of the rebel army to move south. If he sent someone to find him at this moment, he would ask him to lead his army to cross Heishan directly, attack the county behind Jinzhou, and cut off the Liao army's food supply route, which would be of great help to the rebel army's attack on Jinzhou.

However, it was going to snow. Once heavy snow hits the face, it would be very difficult for the Wu Yong Army to cross mountains and ridges. In addition, Zhang Guanyu's Wu Yong Army's strength is limited. If he launches an attack, Nanjing Road will send reinforcements again. He will be trapped in the Liao army's attack and have no choice but to escape from Heishan. Therefore, Luo Qinghan and Dong Xiaohou both turned their attention to Mayu Mountain, hoping to pull Zhang Saba's grain shooting army over. The Wu Yong Army should be able to raise four or five thousand people with more grain shooting army, so there is still a possibility of attack.

Although Mayushan is three or four hundred miles away from Heishan, it is winter now. The main force of the Liao army will siege and kill the main force of the rebel army in the future. The troops in the Mayushan area are empty, so Zhang Saba can break through the siege and advance eastward to Heishan to meet the main force of the rebel army. Before the ice river freezes, within one or two months, the Wu Yong Army and the Food Shooting Army will definitely meet, and can join forces to attack the rear of Jinzhou.

Li Hu was of course happy to find a helper, "Then please ask Luo Shuai. Dong Shuai immediately sent someone to find Zhang Guanyu and Zhang Saba."

Dong Xiaohou immediately found Zhu Xia and asked him to go there himself. Zhang Guanyu's brave army should have gone north now. There are several mountain roads across Heishan, and I don't know which road Zhang Guanyu would take, so Luo Qinghan specially found two scouts from the Heishan Army who were familiar with the terrain of Heishan, and asked them to guide Zhu Xia and go south together.
