31 Report

[New book is requested to collect and recommend it!]

On the 27th, on a small path far north of Yingzhou, the capital of the Ming Dynasty, more than a dozen large cars were slowly heading north, and everyone on the cars was trembling.

This group of people is nothing but the Dong family who fled from the capital and headed north.

"drive!"

"Sir, no pursuers were found behind."

Several cavalrymen came over from behind and shouted at Dong Wu.

"Very good, continue to explore. Once the officers and soldiers are found, report it immediately."

"Yes, sir."

Several cavalrymen left again.

Dong Wu deserves to be a general. Even if he is fleeing now, he will send some of his confidant soldiers around him to deal with the traces of the convoy passing by behind them.

And supervise whether any officers and soldiers are chasing behind him. In addition, Dong Gan is meticulous and the escape routes he chooses are all particularly hidden routes.

This made it possible for four or five days to escape from the capital. They had already traveled north for two or three hundred miles, but they were not caught by the Ming army who were chasing them.

"By the way, has Wang Hao not come back yet?"

After several cavalrymen who came back to report, they left again, Dong Wu asked a confidant beside him.

"Sir, Wang Hao and the others haven't been back for two days?"

"What's going on? Have they met officers and soldiers? No, I have to go and talk to my second brother."

For some reason, Dong Wu felt a little uneasy at this time.

Dong Wu left five small-scale cavalry behind, responsible for dealing with their tails and playing an early warning role.

The five men who could be left behind were all his most trusted confidants, but one of them hadn't been back for two days.

Moreover, he was the leader of Wang Hao, a subordinate of Dong Wu, whom he trusted the most. At first, Dong Wu didn't care, but now he has to worry.

Soon, Dong Wu rode a horse to a carriage in front and shouted to Dong Gan inside: "Second brother, no pursuers are found behind him.

But the team I left behind has not been back for two days, and I am a little worried that they may have been caught by Ye Bucheng.

We can no longer follow the original route, we have to change the route, otherwise I am worried that something will happen."

Dong Gan lifted the curtain of the car, and after hearing Dong Wu's words, his face was also serious. He was worried and extremely cautious when he escaped.

Fortunately, Dong Gan's bloody planning and the imperial tattoo he carried in his hand played a significant role in deception, which allowed them to escape here smoothly.

But even so, Dong Gan did not relax his vigilance at all. If they did not leave the customs for a day, they would always be in danger.

"Then change the route. From here, it is about ten miles north. It is a three-way intersection. We will not go north, we will go east.

Thirty miles east, there is a rock-fall fortress, which was founded by a local gentry. The owner was a friend I met when I was an official in Yingzhou.

Let's go to his fort to rest for a night, and my father's body can't stand it anymore.

When we got there, we changed our outfits and dressed up as caravans heading north.”

Dong Gan was meticulous and soon came up with a solution.

"Okay, listen to my second brother."

Immediately, the Dong family convoy changed its route at the three-way intersection, no longer heading north, but heading east.

What Dong Wu didn't know was that it was precisely because of his prudence that their family could escape again.

Not long after the Dong family convoy changed its route at the Sancha Road intersection and headed east, a large number of official cavalry rushed over and chased north under the leadership of a general flag.

The chief official who led the way was either someone else, or he hadn't come back for two days, Wang Hao, the confidant sent by Dong Wu.

However, at this time, Wang Hao had already betrayed Dong Wu and chose to join the court, find the officials and cavalry chasing behind him, and take them to pursue the Dong family.

At this time, even the most trusted person is likely to betray him.

What's more, what the Dong family did this time was a rebellious thing. Among these Dong Wu's confidants, many of them were still loyal to the Ming Dynasty.

Between the court and his superiors, there will always be someone who chooses the court, after all, this is a relatively wise choice.

As long as you can lead the imperial army to capture the Dong family, you will make great contributions and be promoted and wealthy.

Faced with such temptation, it is normal to betrayal.

Rumble!

This official cavalry ran north for dozens of miles. Seeing that it was getting dark, it still did not see the shadow of the Dong family's convoy.

"The whole army stopped advancing."

A Ming general shouted loudly, and a thousand cavalrymen stopped quickly, and stood in unison on the road, and they were banned. At first glance, they were an elite force.

This cavalry was a Guanning cavalry under Zu Dale. After receiving Chongzhen's order, Zu Dale sent two thousand cavalrymen to assist Li Yinghan in the north to pursue the Dong family.

Li Yinghan also had three cavalrymen in his hands, and under his personal leadership, he pursued the northward.

In fact, there are many roads from the north of the capital of Daming, and there are not many cavalry in the capital. If you pursue the Dong family, you can only count on cavalry, and the infantry don’t have to think about it.

Therefore, Li Yinghan and Guanning Army each chose several routes, which they believed were the most likely route to pursue.

Among them, when this Guanning Army, which had a thousand people, encountered Wang Hao, who chose to betray Dong Wu and reported to the court when he arrived at the Yingzhou territory.

The Ming army general in charge of leading this Guanning cavalry was a Qianhu named Yu Shi. After meeting Wang Hao's news, he knew on the spot that this was his opportunity and an opportunity to make meritorious service.

So he immediately asked Wang Hao to lead the way and led a thousand Guanning cavalry to pursue the north.

Yu Shi was not worried that they would be ambushed by the Dong family.

After all, according to Wang Hao's report, the only guardian force in the Dong family's convoy is the five hundred soldiers under Dong Wu's command.

Moreover, these 500 soldiers are not absolutely loyal to Dong Wu, and there are no fewer people who have ideas like Wang Hao.

However, Dong Wu promised these 500 confidants that if they were allowed to escape outside the pass, they would each receive 100 taels of silver.

Dong Qian even gave these soldiers thirty taels of silver each on the spot, promising to give the rest to the outside of the pass.

These soldiers were tempted by money and have not left the Dong family until now.

If the Dong family is caught up by the imperial army, most of these 500 soldiers will not really fight for the Dong family, they are just for money.

At this time, Yu Shi had a total of 1,000 Guanning cavalry, and he didn't take Dong Wu's five hundred soldiers seriously.

In the field battles of Guanning, even the Tartar cavalry outside the Pass were not afraid, so how could they be afraid of just five hundred studs?

Even if these 500 soldiers died to protect Dong's family, he was sure to charge and disperse them.

Therefore, Yu Shi led his army to pursue north frantically, but until dark, he had not seen the shadow of the Dong family's convoy, which made him realize something was wrong.
