Chapter 248
Xu Yang asked with a smile: "It's too late to go to the imperial capital for 800 miles. What if it's a carrier pigeon?"&1t;/p>
This is really not a joke. Xu Yang had seen the pigeons they were raising in the Da Neiwei Office, not to mention the secret agencies such as the sticker. Qianlong would probably know the details of the real national affairs within one or two days.&1t;/p>
"This..." Chen Jialuo never thought that there would be such a god-like "operation" like a carrier pigeon.&1t;/p>
"We attacked three days ago. If someone reported a carrier pigeon that night, then Qianlong would know the details at most during the next day during the day. After this calculation, at most, the rebels in the Northwest Ping would receive an order, change the direction of their journey, and head straight to Lanzhou Prefecture. If they walked for three days on the way, then in three days, we would see the outpost of the Northwest Army. If their scouts were elite enough, they might even be ahead of time."&1t;/p>
Chen Jialuo was no longer as confident and proud as before, and he was completely dissatisfied.&1t;/p>
"Brother Xu, if this is the case, how should we operate?"&1t;/p>
This time Chen Jialuo is really asking for advice.&1t;/p>
At this urgent moment, Xu Yang was not inconvenient to take advantage of the situation and said directly: "This northwest army is an elite force. The thousands of troops led by Hongzhou, the Yellow River Camp, were just their vanguards. You have also seen their combat effectiveness."&1t;/p>
Chen Jialuo nodded. He was impressed by the Qing army officers and soldiers who were not surprised when encountering chaos and even surrounded the heroes of the Red Flower Association.&1t;/p>
"Since that's the case, we will never be able to respond to the enemy head-on. The only way is to retreat temporarily to avoid its edge." Xu Yang said jokingly: "Instead of wasting manpower and material resources on defense, it is better to retreat. When this army is showing fatigue, we will take the initiative again and attack their weaknesses. In terms of military tactics, we are the so-called avoiding its sharpness and returning home in the evening."&1t;/p>
Chen Jialuo stared at Xu Yang with approval. Seeing that he stopped continuing, he hurriedly asked: "Then there are two questions. First, protect yourself. Where should we withdraw? Secondly, how can we know when the other party will "expose their weaknesses, and how can we find their weaknesses?"&1t;/p>
Xu Yang was like educating a child, and first encouraged Chen Jialuo: "Good question, this is the key, but..." After deliberately chanting for a moment, Xu Yang smiled and said, "You still didn't notice the real key point, it lies in the return caravan."&1t;/p>
"Is it the caravan that took the lead in capturing the Qing court's treasury?" Although Chen Jialuo knew them, he had been too busy before and could not capture the treasury with this treasury like a magic weapon. Then he gave the treasury's dominance to the Red Flower Society. The caravan that Xun evacuated had too many intersections.&1t;/p>
All he knew was that the caravan seemed to be waiting for someone, and it was also the one from their Red Flower Club.&1t;/p>
"I helped them a lot before. When this happens, our entire team can go to their tribe and avoid it for a while when they return to Xinjiang. Then your first problem will be solved." Xu Yang said slowly.&1t;/p>
"So good!" Chen Jialuo said with a high high, "The territory of Huijiang is vast, and hundreds of people can be hidden everywhere. As long as there is support from Hui people, we can attack and retreat or defend. But these people are not only reliable?" asked Xu Yang with his inquiring eyes.&1t;/p>
"Don't worry, I have helped them a lot. They must be grateful to me and will not have any unfair intentions. Moreover, the rebellion of the Xinjiang region has not been a day or two. Most of the Hui people who did not participate in the rebellion are involved with the rebels. They have long been dissatisfied with the rule of the Qing court, and reliability is not a problem." Xu Yang patted his chest to guarantee.&1t;/p>
&1t;/p>
"Then there is the second question, how to solve the combat effectiveness of the Qing army, but this is not a problem."&1t;/p>
Chen Jialuo looked puzzled. In his opinion, this rebel army in the Northwest Ping was much more elite than the Qing army he had seen before. This was also the main reason why he ordered a night attack on the Yellow River Camp. He never thought that the other party could fight so much.&1t;/p>
If it were the usual Qing army, the Red Flower Club might have succeeded that night. Many troops in history were panic and even roared in night attacks, and were defeated by the enemy with the weak defeated the strong.&1t;/p>
This Qing army was also panicked and confused at the moment of being attacked, but soon, under the leadership of grassroots officers, they continued to fight back, which caused the heroes of the Red Flower Society who were skilled in martial arts to suffer great losses.&1t;/p>
"No matter how powerful the army is, we have to eat." Xu Yang smiled and said, "The military rations they carry with them should not be within ten days. They originally had to be replenished nearby, but the military rations they wanted to replenish have been distributed to the victims by us."&1t;/p>
"Then they can still collect it on the spot." Chen Jialuo questioned.&1t;/p>
"Ask who will collect it? The flood disaster is serious. In addition, the northwest has been rebelling for a long time, and there will be no large amount of grain reserves in the homes of the large households. Otherwise, they would have attracted the victims to be tenants." Xu Yang slowly analyzed to Chen Jialuo: "The treasury of Lanzhou Prefecture has also been robbed by us and has been distributed to the victims for a long time. They will not leave half of the grain. As for grain merchants... Haha, if they could get more than a thousand stone of grain from the grain merchants, it would be considered that I had not plundered enough."&1t;/p>
The Qing army had already eaten almost the same food on the road. When they arrived in Lanzhou City, there was only an empty granary left here. No matter how much they disturbed the village to get food, they could only get a day or two for food. Therefore, Xu Yang concluded that the Qing army would be "chaotic" within ten days.&1t;/p>
After listening to Xu Yang's detailed analysis, Chen Jialuo's eyes lit up, and his face looked much better than before. He just wanted to go back and retreat. He had to go back and discuss with all the leaders, so he hurriedly said goodbye and went out.&1t;/p>
Xu Yang naturally understood Chen Jialuo's concerns. On the one hand, his guarantee was certainly one. The Han and Hui tribes had not really cooperated for many years and lacked enough trust between each other. That was the other hand.&1t;/p>
You should know that the last emperor of the Southern Ming Dynasty, Emperor Yongli, was betrayed by a foreign race and finally died in Jiuquan.&1t;/p>
Anyone will remember such a lesson very clearly.&1t;/p>
However, I believe that other leaders of the Red Flower Society will agree with their opinions in such an emergency.&1t;/p>
But Master Chen, you have to settle the account before you leave...&1t;/p>
As for returning to the other side, Xu Yang suddenly remembered that he seemed to have forgotten something extraordinary.&1t;/p>
Yes, after so long, Xu Yang forgot to return the Koran to them.&1t;/p>
Thanks to this group of Hui people, it was a blessing that they should have come to the door if they were replaced by themselves.&1t;/p>
Look at my "sex", and with a slap in the forehead, Xu Yang threw a small ingot of silver on the table and headed straight to the Xingzhuang Inn.&1t;/p>
