On September 18th, the 10th year of Shenwu, after returning from the night attack, 6,000 people returned to Dulonggang. Excluding the damage caused by the night attack, 300 to 400 people were left behind according to the original plan, and the rest returned to the construction.

But in the early morning of September 18th, several leaders did not receive any military orders to start a war.

We had achieved a great victory last night, and we had even obtained important clues about where the people were being held. Now it was reasonable to go all out and capture Liujiazhuang.

Zhu Wu, Yan Qing, Dong Ping, and Lu Zhishen gathered outside the big tent. Only a few conversations came from inside the tent, but they couldn't be heard clearly.

"Our people are inside, and the nine bends and eighteen bends have been broken. We are going in, breaking the Liujiazhuang, and rescuing the brothers..." Lu Zhishen was talking when he suddenly saw several familiar people not far away.

figure.

"Yes, maybe the military advisor has other considerations?" Dong Ping also answered and faced Lu Zhishen. Seeing Lu Zhishen startled, he immediately turned around and followed Lu Zhishen's gaze.

This was incredible, and I was shocked in my heart, but I saw Guan Sheng, Qin Ming and Zhang Qing walking over unscathed. Although they looked tired, they could indeed be said to be unscathed.

"How did these guys... break out of the encirclement?" Zhu Wu was stunned and said smoothly.

In front of them were Lin Chong and Shi Jin. They opened the curtain and let the three of them in. When they were about to go in, they were grabbed by Lu Zhishen: "Brother, what's going on?"

Lin Chong immediately put down the curtain, turned around and said to several people: "It's strange, strange, the three of them are unscathed. They just suffered some skin injuries. We don't know how to get out of the trap now. Let's go and go in to see what's going on."

Shi Jin walked out of the tent: "Brother asked everyone to go in and discuss matters."

Everyone followed Lin Chong into the tent.

But they saw Qin Ming, Guan Sheng and Zhang Qing standing in the middle, with Song Jiang and Wu Yong standing in the main position.

"Brother Qi, the three of us were released." Qin Ming was the first to speak, and as he spoke, he picked up a cup of tea and drank it in one gulp.

Wu Yong frowned slightly: "Put it back? Today we are going to rescue a few brothers. What is going on? Tell us in detail."

Guan Sheng said: "We were released. After we were captured, we were imprisoned in Zhuangzi's school grounds. The leader, Jiang Ning..."

"Jiang Ning? Which Jiang Ning is it?" Zhu Wu asked suddenly, stepping forward and grabbing Guan Sheng's arm.

Guan Sheng frowned: "Who else is Jiang Ning? Naturally, it is the Jiang Ning who caused trouble in the birthday card."

As soon as these words came out, everyone looked at each other in confusion. Yan Qing frowned with a look of disbelief on his face, while Zhu Wu felt even more confused and didn't know how to answer the words.

Wu Yong also looked at Song Jiang: "That Jiangning Jiang Zichuan? Is he in Liujiazhuang?"

Zhang Qingdao: "Not only in Liujiazhuang, it was the first time he saw through me, and he also told me and Er Niang's names. Eh? Where is Er Niang? How is the injury?"

Lin Chong said hurriedly: "Er Niang needs to rest. The humidity in the mountains is too high. An Daoquan took Er Niang to the city to recover from her injuries. It's not serious. Don't worry."

Zhang Qing nodded but stopped talking. Zhu Wu said: "Jiang Ning, first his birthday ruined our important event, and now he appears here again. I think this is definitely not a coincidence."

"It shouldn't be a coincidence..." Wu Yong also nodded slightly and asked Li Kui: "Tieniu, you were the first to deal with him. What happened at that time?"

"Of course I killed him, but I was stopped. Then when the officers and soldiers came, I ran away and went to look for Mr. Chai in the prison." Li Kui shrugged angrily and sat down on the chair: "Humph.

, Iron Bull should chop this bird-man down with his axe."

"Let's not say these angry words. He captured the three of you. Ordinarily, he has such a deep hatred for us in Liangshan, so he shouldn't let you go. Instead, he should watch you and wait for us to rescue you, and then eat him bit by bit.

It's right to drop him, why would he let him go?" Wu Yong patted the feather fan, this was the most correct choice, but now Jiang Ning did the opposite?

Anyone who can see through his birthday plan must be an extraordinary person. When Wu Yong found out that he was the so-called most talented man in Jiangnan, although he was a little surprised, the world is so big and there are so many talented people and strangers that it is not a problem.

But Jiang Ning is now determined to become an enemy of Liangshan, so he must be on guard.

"Not only did he let us go, but he also let many people go. He also killed a lot of people. He probably also let go of more than a hundred brothers. However, he gave them all severance pay and probably all went home." Guan Sheng frowned:

"The others were all killed by him."

"Killed by him? What does this mean?" Song Jiang was a little confused and didn't know what Guan Sheng was talking about.

Qin Ming sighed: "Let me tell you..."

Immediately afterwards, he explained in detail how Jiang Ning pulled out his gun to kill, how he coerced and lured, and how he bought information. When the last three of them came, they let him go without saying a word.

After Qin Ming finished speaking, everyone was puzzled, but no one dared to say anything. Wu shook his feather fan with his hand and walked back and forth in the tent. Even Song Jiang didn't know what to think.

Suddenly, Wu Yong turned around and asked, "Who was on duty last night?"

Suo Chao, the vanguard, walked out: "The last general will be on duty."

"After the night attack, have any personnel returned?" Wu Yong took a step forward and asked a question that everyone thought was impossible.

If you have not already taken the money, why do you want to come back?

Suo Chao thought for a while, then held up his hands and said: "Yes, here and there, I thought it was..."

"I thought it was the stragglers who came back from the night attack, but I didn't expect them to be the prisoners released by Jiang Ning... How many people are there in total?" Wu Yong answered directly for Suo Chao, and then asked again.

Suo Chao frowned, also realizing the seriousness of the problem: "About...more than a hundred people..."

"No..." Wu Yong said again: "How many troops did each of us lead in the night attack? How many did we bring back? How much were the battle losses? Brother Lu, where are you here?"

Lu Junyi didn't know what was wrong, but Wu Yong said it was wrong, so there must be something wrong, and said hurriedly: "I led five thousand troops to fight with Zhuangzi southwest, in the horse pit and in front... There should be four thousand who came back..."

"I have one thousand here, five hundred when I come back..."

"I have one thousand here, six hundred when I come back..."

"I have one thousand here and six hundred when I come back..."

"Eight thousand men and horses, 6,100 came back, 1,900 were lost in battle, and 3,400 were left behind, which means 1,500 were lost in battle. How many men are there in each battalion now?" Wu Yong walked to the desk and asked,

Just do the math on your own.

Every morning, each battalion will gather the counted troops to Wu Yong, and then arrange the troops and make overall arrangements. This is also a rule set before each expedition.

When Wu Yong counted to the end, his tense expression suddenly relaxed, as if everything should be within reason.

He slowly put down his brush, walked down the steps, and issued the first military order of the day amidst the expectations of everyone.
