Chapter 249 Arrangement
In the tent, Cai Wuniang, wrapped in a cloak, was roasting the fire alone, holding a branch in one hand and fiddling with the bonfire in front of her. Although she had already put on clothes, she would only feel safer if she wrapped in a cloak and blocked her body.
What happened over the past period of time left her in a daze. She was almost killed by someone just now. The huge fright made Cai Wuniang still tremble with fear.
Now, it seems that the government army has to be rescued, but she has no knowledge and doesn't know what the government army will do to her. If she wants to "all brothers will have their share tonight", she really doesn't know what to do.
She didn't have the courage to commit suicide, so the other party really had evil thoughts, and she might be tortured to the point of being unhealthy. Now, she can only wait until Li Wo brings back good news.
Thinking of Li Wo, Cai Wuniang didn't know whether to be happy or angry. Li Wo was a farmer in the village before. Cai Wuniang recognized the other party. Once she was almost bitten by a snake, it was Li Wo who saved her.
She felt that Li Wo, who was a good person, was very good, and asked the other party to run errands from time to time. The relationship between the two was good. Of course, there was no further relationship between the two.
Cai Wuniang's family is a well-known local family. Her uncle was an official in Fugou City. With the status of the Cai family, Cai Wuniang would not like Li Wo, who was just a mere villager.
Later, Li Wo lost a cow while herding cattle. Maybe she ran away because she was afraid of being punished. When they saw each other again, they were in the woods.
When Cai Wuniang saw Li Wu becoming a thief, she only thought that the other party was familiar with the inside story of Cai Jiazhuang, which led to the thief kidnapped her. Just now, when she saw Li Wufen desperately saving herself, Cai Wuniang was grateful and couldn't help but be confused.
She couldn't figure out what role Li Wo was in the abducted incident. She didn't know whether to hate Li Wo or thank him for it.
Footsteps sounded, and someone approached the tent, which made Cai Wuniang tremble and looked at the person who walked into the tent in horror. When she found that the person was Li Wo, she couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Seeing his lover's horror, Li Wo quickly said, "Don't worry, girl, it's okay. The government army has made arrangements and will send the girl back to Caijiazhuang tomorrow."
Cai Wuniang was very excited when she learned the good news, but couldn't believe it: "Is it true?"
"Official army's words are of course true."
"Official army...what side of the official army are they..." Cai Wuniang didn't understand the current situation, but after hearing the discussions between her father and her brothers, it seemed that there were two groups of official army fighting around now.
Li Wo handed a hot pancake to Cai Wuniang, then sat on the other side of the fire and smiled and said, "Don't worry, he is a good person anyway."
Seeing Cai Wuniang eating the pancakes in small stutters, he said again: "Don't worry, girl, have a good rest tonight. The government army will send someone to take the girl back tomorrow morning and go back to the village. Don't go there any more casually. There will be chaos outside, and there will be no peace."
"Um..."
Cai Wuniang responded and ate the pancake silently. Li Wo suddenly became mute and scratched her head. She didn't know what to say next, but she didn't dare to stare at the girl, so she lowered her head and threw branches into the fire.
I don’t know how long it took, Cai Wuniang suddenly said, “Li Wo…”
"Ah? What are the instructions for the girl?"
"Tonight...will you stay here tonight? I...what I'm afraid..."
"Uh...good...good..."
Li Wo stammered and agreed, his breathing was rapid and his heart was beating. Although he knew that the girl had no other intentions and he could not have anything to happen to the other party, he was so excited that he could spend the night in the same tent with his sweetheart.
"Don't worry, girl, there will be no trouble tonight!"
As soon as he finished speaking, some voices came from outside, as if someone was screaming. Cai Wuniang was so scared that her face changed, and she crashed into Li Wu's arms and shivered.
The sweetheart actually got into his arms, making Li Wo's head blank at this time, but he had no intention of thinking and kept comforting: "The girl is afraid, it's okay!"
......
Somewhere in the forest, Zhang Tielu and a few of his men were lying quietly on the ground, losing their breath. As thieves who simply fought for family and robbed, they had no meaning to survive in the eyes of the strong, so their lives came to an end.
Lu Wuji looked at these unlucky people and remembered his self back then. The life he and his companions lived similar to those of these people. They were wandering around, relying on robbery, killing and robbing people to live. In this kind of life of licking blood from a knife, everyone could die at any time.
The lucky team will occupy the mountains and become the king, the leader will be the leader of the village, rob the surrounding villages, pass by the business, or do business, and become the shopkeepers who are both bandits and businessmen. They will eat and drink delicious food all day long, and they will have endless money and food.
A team with good luck will become a tribal chief or a powerful hawk or dog, and follow the man to act as a mighty man.
A team with average luck is like a small group of wolves, wandering in the wilderness for food, eating a meal with a full meal, thinking about hunting at any time, and beingware of being preyed by other wolves at any time.
Lu Wuji's team is a team of luck, wandering around Youyan, doing all kinds of work, and not telling whether you are good or bad, good or evil, and there is no future anyway.
As soon as the government recruited heroes to serve the country, he led his men to join the government army and followed the army south, trying to break out of another world.
Those who can survive in a life of licking blood on the knife are not only lucky, but also capable. Lu Wuji and his companions are very confident in their respective abilities. Whether it is riding, archery, sneak attack, or even torture and inquiries, it is no problem.
However, now, he has truly seen what "professional torture" is.
"Xiao Li" under Zhang Sima, with a few helpers, took out all the words from the thieves in just one stick of incense, and even asked about the trivial matters of these people when they were young.
The other party did not simply torture, but used many techniques, which opened Lu Wuji, who was "observing" on the side.
Zhang Tielu and others who have been executed have their bodies arranged to kill each other. If they are discovered in the future, they will only conclude that the group of people will kill each other because of uneven distribution of spoils.
I wouldn't have thought that I had met someone and was silenced.
This idea of dealing with the corpse also made Lu Wuji "refresh". Seeing those skilled experts, he couldn't help but look at the strength of the heroes under the King of Xiyang.
These people also came out to be scouts, captured prisoners, surveyed the terrain, and spy on the enemy's situation. Their styles were somewhat different from those of Lu Wuji and his group. As for the differences, Lu Wuji felt that they were the same as the chef cooking.
How to make a sheep? Lu Wuji and others made it by peeling the sheep, bleaching it open, then chopping it into several large pieces and baking it on the fire. Judging the heat according to experience, just baking it almost the same.
The group of people brought by Zhang Sima, the King of Xiyang Palace, would carry various knives and seasonings with them, carefully process the sheep, and even handle the internal organs. They used the small cookware they carried with them to make the whole sheep into various delicious dishes.
In other words, this team was specially formed to be scouts. There is a complete set of "processes" to spy on military information. The members of the team divided their work and cooperated. Unlike Lu Wuji's team, although everyone is versatile, in addition to killing people and sneak attacks, they feel "elegant and loose".
There are many unique devices in Zhang Sima's team, such as the "compass" and the binoculars. When estimating the distance, you have to look at the pocket watch and record how much time it took to go from one place to another.
Someone specifically used a strange device to observe the sun, saying that it was going to measure the "latitude", and some people looked around with a strange Mileage mirror, saying that it was "distance measurement" and "altitude measurement".
Range measurement refers to the distance between two points. Lu Wuji and others can only rely on experience to estimate the distance, and the error is not small. It is said that with this range measurement device, the "precision" is very high when estimating the distance between two points.
As for the height measurement, Lu Wuji cannot understand the significance of measuring the height of a hill. It is normal to measure the depth of a river. After all, it is necessary to consider whether the army directly wades across the river or whether it is necessary to build a bridge when crossing the river.
But even the "flow rate" of river water needs to be measured, what's the use?
Lu Wuji followed Zhang Sima to spy on the enemy situation. He really gained insight. He found that whenever the team went to a place, in addition to grabbing his tongue and inquiring about information, he also had to "survey and map".
Many results were mapped, and then a dedicated person drew maps on grid paper based on these results, marking important content such as rivers, road directions, villages, water sources, etc. on the map.
That is to say, turn all kinds of inquiry into graphics and texts, and small maps gradually gather into a large map.
This is something that Lu Wuji's team cannot do. The news they spyed was reported to the King of Xiyang in verbal form, and at most they used a branch to gesture on the ground.
Compared with the fine maps drawn by Zhang Sima's team, the graphics that Lu Wuji and his companions gestured were like paintings drawn by children, in a mess.
After silence, Lu Wuji came to a tent. Sima Zhang Dingfa, the Sima of the Prince of Xiyang, and a few people, studied a newly drawn map in the tent under the bonfire fire.
When Zhang Dingfa saw Lu Wuji coming, he signaled him to sit down, and then analyzed the collected news.
"There are signs that something happened in Fugou City, the city gate was closed, there were cavalry wandering outside the city, and the people were not allowed to approach it, so we could not know the situation in the city."
"One team approached Fugou City to reconnaissance, but did not see any camp outside the city, which means that the enemy troops in Xuchang have not sent other troops to Fugou, and the other team was able to approach Fugou. The interception force of the ranger outside the city is weak, which means that the opponent's troops are indeed insufficient, and they can only defend the inside, not the outside."
"In this way, we will have the opportunity to test the other party's reality, so the established plan needs to be changed."
As the "Chief Intelligence Officer" appointed by King Xiyang, Zhang Dingfa brought elite scouts directly under the King Xiyang to carry out "battle reconnaissance" in Fugou City and nearby areas, and had the power to deal with it on the spot on the spot.
This team is the most reliable eyes, ears, and what you see and hear will become an important reference for the King of Xiyang when deploying warfare.
The joining of Lu Wuji and others has greatly increased the strength of this scout team and has stronger offensiveness, so there are more measures to take.
