Chapter 337

After running for almost a day, I learned about the situation in Hanshan Town.

At night, because of exhaustion, Lin Xiaoyue finally slept better.

The next day, night.

After dinner, Lin Xiaoyue put the two old ladies brought by Xiao Er on the bed.

Just as he was about to fall asleep, there was a knock on the door.

Lin Xiaoyue's expression changed.

"Who?" he asked outside the door.

"Mother, Cheng An asks to see you." Cheng An's voice was deliberately lowered from the door immediately.

Lin Xiaoyue quickly went to open the door.

Sure enough, I saw Cheng An and the two people who followed behind Cheng An.

"Come in!" With a happy face, Lin Xiaoyue hurriedly welcomed the three of them into the room.

Yes, the two who followed behind Cheng An were Manager Fang and Manager Liang who she had been waiting for.

Before dinner, she didn't wait for the two to come. She thought they would arrive tomorrow, but she didn't expect to arrive at night.

Several people saluted Lin Xiaoyue before talking about the situation.

Said it was basically done.

"All the towns mentioned earlier have already been staffed to receive the brothers of the Chiwu Army."

"And even if the connection fails, the brothers of the Chiwu Army can go directly to the local restaurant named 'Liang'."

"Go directly to the back kitchen yard and find the person in charge of the back kitchen. The back kitchen leaders and shopkeepers of each restaurant have received orders and will act according to the orders."

Lin Xiaoyue looked solemn.

"There can be no accidents, the connection must be successful." Shen said.

Shopkeeper Liang hurriedly saluted Lin Xiaoyue.

"Don't worry Lin Dongjia. I have already confirmed with all parties. If these people still want to sit in their current seats, they will not be sloppy and omission."

Looking at Lin Xiaoyue, "The matter of letting the Chiwujun brothers take the initiative to find someone will definitely not happen." With that, there were beads of sweat on the forehead of Shopkeeper Liang.

Lin Xiaoyue looked at Director Fang.

Seeing Director Fang nodding to himself, he did not continue to struggle with this step.

"Treasurer Liang, sit down and talk. Don't take offense. It's really a matter of great importance at this time. If you are not careful, not only the Chiwu Army, but also the Liang's firm and the prince may be in danger." Lin Xiaoyue said.

"Yes." Shopkeeper Liang wiped the sweat from his forehead and sat back.

Lin Xiaoyue didn't ask another question until Shopkeeper Liang was in better condition.

"How are the boats going by water?"

People from Lulu, she is not really worried. What worries most is the three thousand people who walk by water.

Shopkeeper Liang stabilized his mind and saluted Lin Xiaoyue again.

"I came here in a hurry, just to tell Dong Lin about this."

"Because the ferry in Hanshan Town is too small, there are too many fishing boats coming over at once, and I'm afraid it will be eye-catching. Therefore, I instructed that the fishing boats will come to the ferry port in Hanshan Town to dock at midnight tomorrow night."

Seeing that Lin Xiaoyue didn't speak, Manager Liang continued: "There are six fishing boats in total, all of them are large boats. It is not a problem to arrange five hundred people on each fishing boat!"

Lin Xiaoyue looked at Director Fang again.

Seeing Director Fang nodding to himself, he relaxed a little.

After asking some other information about Shopkeeper Liang, I asked Cheng An to arrange for Shopkeeper Liang to go down to rest.

Afterwards, when Cheng An returned, Lin Xiaoyue discussed the next arrangement with Cheng An and Director Fang.

After that, he wrote a letter to Li Xiao and asked Cheng An to pass it on.

In the middle of the night, in the tent of the Chinese army.

Li Xiao finally received a letter from Lin Xiaoyue.

After reading the contents of the letter, a touch of emotion flashed across the man's eyes.

"How is it, what did the cousin say? When can we retreat?" Henry Zhang couldn't wait to get to Li Xiao and asked Li Xiao.

Li Xiao put away the letter.

Suppressing the emotions in his heart, he glanced at Henry Zhang lightly.

"What's the hurry? It's not time yet." Shen said.

The fishing boat will not arrive until midnight tomorrow night, and there is still a whole day before the evacuation.

The more they got to the last minute, the more they needed composure.

Henry Zhang’s face instantly collapsed.

Glancing at Li Xiao, he walked away.

The corners of Li Xiao's mouth couldn't help but rise.

Then, with a sigh, he began to think about the next arrangement.

Tomorrow night, after nightfall, start the arrangement to avoid attracting the attention of the court army next to you.

Then it started at Zi Shi, and after rushing back to Hanshan Town, it happened to take a fishing boat to leave...

After thinking for a while, Li Xiao took out the pen and paper and replied to Lin Xiaoyue.

After handing it over to the messenger, Li Xiao returned to the bed and lay down.

The deceased is like this, reluctant to give up day and night.

In the nervousness of some people, it was finally the night of the next day.

At this time, in the Chiwu army camp.

The soldiers had just had dinner when Mr. Xu, Vice-General Wang and six thousand commanders finally received the news.

The eight people soon secretly went to the Chinese army tent.

in the big account.

Li Xiao sat in front of the handsome case with a serious expression.

Henry Zhang stood down, his face could not be concealed with joy.

He really did not expect that the surprise would come so suddenly.

The cousin even told him just now that tonight was the time for them to evacuate.

Finally, I have to leave, escaping this icy border.

After a while, important figures in the army came one after another.

When everyone was there, Li Xiao didn't say anything unnecessary, just told the situation directly.

"There are a total of 600 sets of cotton-padded coats, and they will be distributed later, so that the soldiers can get ready."

"Start after Zi Shi, and after arriving at Hanshan Town, retreat in three ways."

"Henry Zhang, you lead 1,500 people to evacuate to the northwest. Along the way..."

"Lieutenant General Wang, you lead 1,500 people to evacuate to the southeast. Along the way..."

Li Xiao explained the response situation arranged by the towns along the way to everyone one by one.

"The rest, follow me to board the boat and leave by water." Then he said.

"Yes!" Everyone quickly clasped their fists.

"Also, the wounded—" Having said this, Li Xiao's brows furrowed.

He intentionally let the wounded go by water and go with him.

But the waterway is more dangerous, and it will be more difficult to evacuate with the wounded.

"I and Uncle Wang are half of each other!" Henry Zhang took a step forward and clasped his fists at Li Xiao.

"Yes! Forgive that Liu Laogui didn't dare to chase us. It should be easier to evacuate by land!" Vice-General Wang followed.

"We have to distinguish the wounded, and arrange the seriously injured together. At that time, the old man will follow the seriously injured team, and it is also good to take care of it." Mr. Xu followed.

Li Xiao was silent.

After a while, he looked up at the crowd.

"The wounded do not need to be separated, and the team will be evacuated with Deputy Wang. Mr. Xu will go with him." Shen said.

"Yes!" Vice-General Wang and Mr. Xu immediately responded with fists clasped.

Henry Zhang was unwilling, but said nothing.

"In addition, among the 1,500 people who joined Henry Zhang in the vanguard army, the number of people who are lacking will give priority to the selection of good soldiers." Li Xiao continued.

Henry Zhang’s complexion changed.

"No! Just assign me 1,500 ordinary soldiers!" Immediately said.

Pioneer Army, that is the elite of the Chiwu Army. Give it all to him, what about the others?

Also, for the remaining number of people, let him choose the best skill, this... cousin is too partial to him...

Li Xiao frowned.

"The 1,500 people you led went to the rear of the final hall. After reaching Yingya, block the enemy for an hour before retreating." Shen said.

"So, are you sure you only want ordinary soldiers?" asked Henry Zhang.

Henry Zhang’s complexion changed.

Facing everyone's ridiculing eyes, he quickly clasped his fist at Li Xiao.

"Let the vanguard and good skills!"

"Henry Zhang leads the order!" He said quickly.

Li Xiao glanced at Henry Zhang, and did not continue to waste time on this matter.

Then, he told everyone about the precautions for retreat and the follow-up arrangements.

"The news does not need to be communicated by the entire army, but only to the ten commanders. After they are broken down into pieces, the ten commanders will hide with their respective soldiers, and with the cooperation of Liang's firm, they will rush to Qingshi Town."

"In addition, the ten captains must be informed that they must cooperate with the arrangement after arriving at the Liang's firm."

"In order to avoid attracting the attention of Zhou's Yaxing, the time of sending them off will vary. It may even be delayed until March next year at the latest. You must be patient." Li Xiao continued.

"Yes!" The crowd responded quickly.

Li Xiao said some more things before letting everyone down.

After a while, Mr. Xu brought people into the tent and removed the pile of cotton-padded clothes in the tent.

He didn't ask much about these cotton-padded clothes that suddenly appeared.

Anyway, if it can be used, it becomes a good thing.

Outside the tent, the pieces of goose feather snow fell even more happily.

On the Chiwu Army camp, there were constant whispers in the camps.
