Chapter 218 The Way Home

In the morning, Xia Ping saw off Uncle Feng who had gone to Huangmu to look for his corpse. He returned to Xiadaoyan and had another meeting. The focus of his work now was mainly on the ideological work of the masses.

Just before the meeting ended, news came from Fulin that Qingxi dispatched 185 government officials to Fulin and expected to arrive at dawn.

Yang Yi'an's village warriors recruited more than 260 people, and together with the government officials, they totaled 450 people.

The Yamen servants have sixty foreign guns, and Yang Yi'an has thirty, for a total of ninety guns.

This is a force that is proud of Qingxi. It is expected to start attacking Wan Gong tomorrow.

But the number of enemies did not exceed previous predictions.

The meeting that was about to end continued and the response plan was launched. Because there was a plan in advance, the village chiefs all knew what to do next. Seeing Xia Ping calmly issuing instructions one by one, the backbones felt a lot more at ease.

When the meeting ended, Uncle Zhou, Liu Huaqiang and other military personnel did not leave. They were waiting for the arrival of other military chiefs to convene a military meeting.

While waiting, Feng Laoliu came.

"Sir, I want to join the alliance."

"Brother Six, Yang Yi'an is coming soon. We will fight him as soon as we follow him. Of course we will win, but there will be casualties. Please think carefully."

"I know, I don't want to spend a day like this. Your sister-in-law and eldest sister both said that life would be better if they stayed with you, and they also asked me to come. Sir, if I am no longer here, can you help me take care of them?

."

Xia Ping held Feng Laoliu's hand: "Brother Six, we are a family. If any family is in trouble, we will all help."

After finally chewing off Feng Laoliu's bones, Xia Ping ordered him to report to Uncle Liu and follow Uncle Liu's arrangements.

When Feng Laoliu was about to leave, Xia Ping asked Feng Laoliu to wait, ran home and returned with a baggage and handed it to Feng Laoliu.

"Brother Six, this robe of mine is of no use. You can take it back and change it for my eldest sister."

Feng Laoliu hurriedly stuffed the baggage back: "I can't do it, why do I need this?"

Xia Ping said sternly: "Brother Six, this is not for you, it is for my eldest sister. I am a eldest girl. It is so convenient to retreat and be crowded together with everyone without any decent clothes." After saying that, he turned and left.

.

Tears welled up in Feng Laoliu's eyes. He held the bundle in his hands and stared blankly at Xia Ping walking away.

Feng Laoliu left, and Li Ruifeng came.

The military meeting was still held in the same room, and checkpoints were posted outside to prevent anyone from approaching.

There was a large hand-drawn map hanging on the wall. Xia Ping held a thin bamboo stick in his hand and explained on it.

"This is the Dadu River, this is the Baiyan River, this box is Wan Gongchang, this one that looks a bit like a mountain is Chaomeigang..."

Xia Ping explained the geography one by one. These are Laowan workers and are familiar with every inch of the land.

"...Tonight, Captain Zhou Kaishan, you will lead team members from seven villages above Wan Gong to secretly wade across the Baiyan River from Yu'erba to Daping, and place people at Dagoutou..."

"Captain Liu Huaqiang, you will lead the team members from the six villages below Wan Gong to cross the river from the Baiyan River Ferry in Wan Gongchang tomorrow with great fanfare. You will cause Wan Gong's villagers to think that all your people have been transferred to Xiadaoyan. When you arrive at Sandaoguai

Then we divided into two groups, one going to Chaomeigang to intercept them, and the other to Hulukou to set up defenses."

These plans are the result of everyone's discussion, and all the chief officers are clear about their tasks.

Li Ruifeng saw that everyone had responsibilities, but he had not made any arrangements. His arrival today aroused some surprises among the captains. They did not know that they had a secret power.

"Captain Li Ruifeng, your task is the most important and the key to our victory." Xia Ping slammed his fist on the table: "Capture Wan Gongchang."

More than 30 people took over Wan Gongchang. Li Ruifeng felt very uneasy. Others accepted the task happily without any complaints. He was a newcomer, so how could he refute it? But this is a matter of death. If you don't speak your mind, I feel uncomfortable too.

Just as he was about to express his opinion, Xia Ping seemed to see through his mind, stared at him and said, "Captain Li Ruifeng will stay, and the others will carry out the plan as planned."

After the meeting broke up, and after everyone left, Xia Ping came to Li Ruifeng and said, "Brother Li, I know you have an idea. How can you attack Wan Gongchang when there are more than thirty people who don't know the enemy's situation? You don't feel at ease, right?"

Seeing that Xia Ping had completely seen his own bones, he was a little embarrassed. He thought to himself that Xia Ping had already figured it out, and his confidence in Xia Ping increased a bit.

"Sir, I'm a straight-tempered person. I'm really not sure I can do a lot of work."

Xia Ping took out a map of Wan Gongchang and said: "Listen to me when I finish the battle plan. It turns out that this task is arranged for other teams. You are here. We have discussed that you are more suitable to carry out this task. I have finished. If you feel it's not suitable in the end, I'll arrange for another team to take over for you, and you can perform other tasks."

Combined with the map, Xia Ping explained it. The more Li Ruifeng listened, the more shocked he became, and the more he listened, the more impressed he became.

Li Ruifeng suddenly realized that in the battle plan just now, the people in the upper half of the village and the second half of the village were transfigured. He heard it inexplicably. Did he think these people were not awake and torturing people? Now he realized that there was only one purpose in doing so, which was to mobilize people. The country warriors who worked hard created the conditions for his attack.

Even if Xiang Yong cannot be mobilized, there is a second plan. Zhou Kaishan will lead a team to pretend to attack Wan Gong Factory to attract Xiang Yong, and attack him from behind.

In short, Wan Gongchang will definitely win, but the second plan will reveal its strength prematurely and will not achieve the best results.

No wonder Xia Ping's more than 200 people dared to compete with the other party's 450 people. No wonder those people were so confident during the meeting just now.

Think about the past in Liao Guanyin's team. They could attack wherever they wanted. Liao Guanyin pointed where and everyone rushed forward. There was no detailed plan at all, let alone several sets of plans.

This gap is not just one or two points, and his confidence in victory is now rising.

If he can't win even with such a thorough plan, then why does he have the nerve to stay here?

After the explanation, Xia Ping asked with a smile: "Brother Li, do you think a substitution is needed?"

Li Ruifeng smiled and took the Wan Gong map into his arms: "It's all your fault that you had such a thorough plan and didn't tell me the truth, which made me worry. I promise you, I can't win Wan Gong. I will lead my men and never make a step forward in Wan Gong from now on."

Next, Xia Mi earnestly warned him to use the half-day to do targeted training after returning, what kind of logistical support to provide, what to pay attention to when taking action, and how to implement backup plans in case the situation changes.

There was no detail about the matter. My mother-in-law and mother-in-law talked a lot and wrote it down on paper. They really treated him as a child.

But he is happy because he treats him as a brother.



Fulin, the town that never sleeps.

Looking at the ferry on the Dadu River, merchants and merchants come and go every day like crucian carp crossing the river, never stopping from morning to night.

There are gambling halls, opium dens, and prostitutes in the market. It is bigger and more lively than Wan Gong Chang.

The Sifangyuan Restaurant at the entrance of Tingjie Street is bustling with activity, with sounds of fist pumps, chatter and laughter happening one after another.
