The Puchenku is a warehouse where the quilts are placed on the post station. On the ground and on the ground, the post officials and eleven postmen of the Zhou family office were locked up here. Two prisoners were in charge of the prisoners. They happened to avoid the search of Xu Yong and Wei Donglai and others just now, and have only been rescued.

The postman was named Guan Qisheng, contrary to the short and fat Prime Minister of Chu Yi. He was born tall, thin, and strong, and was born as a border soldier in Xuanfu.

"Dear sirs," Guan Qisheng kowtowed Li Banghua and Zhou Shixian, stood up and replied, "Chu Yicheng is crazy. He is an unparalleled official. He shouts every day that he wants to be Wang Yangming of the new dynasty. He will win over people and have a courage to do things. Therefore, most people were incited by him and willing to follow him. The remaining ten people, I, don't want it, so they started to fight and locked up until now."

"Which new dynasty?"

"It's just a big... big... thief." Guan Qisheng knew that the word Dashun was a taboo, so he didn't dare to say it.

"He has any contact with the thief?"

"Not just the time and time, all the officials who passed by the post station in the past half month have been taken away. The camp where the family members sent the thieves was sent to the thieves, but there was no wind at all on the surface."

This is something Zhou Shixian could roughly guess, but he didn't expect that Chu Sining would be so cruel and even her family would not let her go. If his convoy was not suppressed by force, he would probably be unable to escape the misfortune.

"Guan Qisheng, do you know that the post road heading south is still open?"

"I don't know if it's far away. Anyway, the next stop of Dacheng Post is gone. A few days ago, when Hao Yaoqi's troops headed north, Dacheng Post followed the county town and asked Hao Yaoqi to slaughter it clean." Guan Qisheng said with a tragic expression, "He, Chu Yicheng, said every day that the postmen in the world are brothers of the King of Chuang, but in fact, it's not like that at all."

Then the post road is like being cut off, but this is not the most urgent matter at present.

Zhou Shixian ordered Ruan Ming to take a stack of maps of the Ministry of War from the car, pick out one from the southern part of northern Zhili, and reverse the pen, taking Zhoujiayi in the middle between Wen'an County and Dacheng County as the center, and drew two circles of large and small, with the marks as if it were indented.

"Meng Weng, everyone, let's assume that after we arrived at the post station yesterday evening, Chu Sining found that we were strong and strong, and he couldn't eat it, so he secretly sent a messenger to report to the thief who had the strength to eat us. The two circles I drew were about eighty miles in small range and about one hundred and twenty miles in large range."

"Mr. Concubine, what do these two circles mean?" Ruichang and Wei Donglai were both people who looked at the maps as they were old, but they didn't understand Zhou Shixian's intention for a while.

"If the thieves in the small circle get a report, they should have reached the post station at this time, so they can be ruled out. Because the thieves outside the large circle are too far away, the people who report the news cannot arrive in one go. Even if they set off after receiving the news, they cannot arrive before dark, so it is not them who are waiting for Chu Sining."

Everyone understood, and Li Banghua asked: "The prince-consort means that the messenger sent by Chu Sining must be between these two circles."

"good."

Li Banghua used his fingers to slide between two circles on the map. He looked at him seriously. Suddenly his fingers stopped moving and landed on the boundary of Jinghai County on the map. He looked up at Zhou Shixian.

"I mean it is also here," Zhou Shixian said with a serious expression. "I remember that on the night I left Beijing, I asked Meng Weng for the route to the south. Meng Weng told me that the sea and water roads were no longer accessible, because..."

"It is because Hao Yaoqi's troops are stationed in Jinghai County," Li Banghua nodded and said, "blocking Haikou in the east and chasing the canal in the south!"

"Yes, this can match the situation of Hao Yaoqi going north as Guan Limu mentioned just now." Zhou Shixian said, "It is roughly impossible to be wrong for Chu Sining to collude with Hao Yaoqi."

"Then let's go quickly? While the bandits have not arrived yet," Rui Chang said anxiously.

Zhou Shixian shook his head slowly.

Li Banghua was surprised and asked, "Mr. Concubine, do you mean it is too late?"

"Chu Sining's plan is just to stop us a little, which shows that the bandits will definitely arrive before Shenshi in the afternoon, and they must be light cavalry. It is Weishi, and it is less than an hour away from Shenshi. Even if we step on the road earlier, the enemy cavalry will chase after him, as long as they catch up with the convoy in the wild, then..."

Everyone can pay attention to this situation, because they have to protect the Holy Driving, it is difficult to fight, and they cannot escape, and there will be big trouble.

Everyone thinks, what should I do if I can’t leave? After thinking about it this way, the answer becomes very simple.

"Since you can't leave, you can only stay. The fences, corner buildings and houses of Zhoujiayi are very strong. If the other party only has light cavalry, it will not be easy to break through! As long as it drags until dark, I will have a way to take everyone out."

This method is actually quite risky, and the bet is that there are not many people coming from the other party.

"Not much!" Zhou Shixian said with confidence, "The first letter from Chu Sining sent it was just a convoy of about a hundred people led by Lord Li and Lord Ni. The thieves would never use a ox knife to kill chickens and send a large group of men to deal with this small team. If the light cavalry advanced quickly, I guess two hundred people would have reached the top. In fact, with the current arrogant mentality of the thief, it would be entirely possible to send only 150 or even 100 people."

Everyone thought that the prince consort was right. If another Ming army team with about a hundred people was replaced, even if they faced a thief of twenty or thirty cavalry, they would probably disperse and would not organize any effective resistance.

Thinking of this, my mentality relaxed, and the soldiers were in danger, and there was no complete plan. The bet was the coach's vision and courage. He followed the prince-consort along the way and had always been invincible. He turned bad luck into good luck. Even the capital that was surrounded by people rushed out. What's more, this time he was determined by the danger and gained a three-point advantage first.

But there is another big problem.

"Son-in-law, Chu Sining of course gave the imperial edict to Hao Yaoqi," Li Banghua said worriedly, "If they guessed that the priest was here..."

"The sending is only sent out today at noon. Even if Hao Yaoqi is dispatched with a large cavalry, he will have to arrive tomorrow morning." Zhou Shixian analyzed, "What's more, it is difficult to determine that Wansui is in the convoy with just one imperial edict. It looks more like Meng Weng and Ni Gong are making advances for Wansui and fighting for the front station."

"It's good, but if the thief was unable to search the emperor and the empress in the capital for a long time, Li Zicheng would have guessed this."

"When he guessed it might be too late. There are many things he has to have for a headache."

No one can understand this sentence, and Zhou Shixian doesn't need to explain it. Since the matter has been settled now, the defense of the post station must be arranged.

"From now on, everyone must be motivated," Zhou Shixian suddenly increased his tone, "The enemy light cavalry will arrive within half an hour. Please obey the order!"

On the big map in the mind of the prince-consort, a black flag quickly invaded the boundary of twenty miles of vision.
