(Thank you Bei Haocang, ye. for your support, thank you!)

Shunzhou.

Niulan Mountain on the south bank of Qidu River.

It is said that this place was originally a barren mountain with no grass and trees, and the people were poor. Later, a Taurus came from somewhere, which lived in caves in the mountains, helped the people to cultivate and reclaim wasteland, and made the barren mountain a fertile land. In order to miss this Taurus, later generations called this mountain Niulan Mountain.

At this time, Lin Wu led three thousand cavalrymen of the Crane Control Army to circle here from the upper reaches of the Qidu River, hiding in the woods at the foot of the mountain.

Fan Dongjun, Zhang Degong, Zhou Zhi and the other two, led the soldiers and young men who escaped from the western Liaoning and Huairou counties were stumbled and hurried west along the road at the foot of the mountain. This road was not a highway, only two riders could be allowed to travel side by side. These soldiers and people who fled the way were also sparse. In front were about 300 soldiers, including Fan Dongjun, who were riding horses, mules and donkeys. There were also a large number of people following behind, and they were pulled into several miles long.

A small team of cavalry rushed to the woods at the foot of the mountain, jumped off the horse for the leader, walked directly to Li Juyi, and saluted.

Lin Wu was very polite to the head of the team who had the ninth-rank accompanying Rong on the badge and said, "How is Guo accompanying Rong?"

The lieutenant named Guo Peirong by Lin Wu was named Guo Wei, who was only twenty-five years old. Although he was just a small team leader, the reason why Lin Wu was so polite was because he was not directly under Lin Wu's command, but was affiliated with the Military Information Department, one of the nine departments under the Supervision Department under the jurisdiction of Li Jing, a Daxingtai.

The Supervision Office is a newly established agency with nine departments, namely the Lijingmen, responsible for external intelligence, the Jinyiwei, responsible for internal intelligence, the Military Intelligence Bureau, responsible for military intelligence, and the Investigation Bureau, responsible for general analysis of intelligence and coordination of various intelligence agencies to share intelligence.

In addition, there is a Secret Service specialized in charge of senior officials from Taiwan such as guard Li Jing, and a Special Police Department specialized in carrying out posts and sudden snoring incidents in important areas.

There are also Meihua Inner Guards who are specifically responsible for reconnaissance officials and the people who spy on the suspects of the behavior and speech of the Grand General Li Jing, the Daxingtai and the Northeast Army.

Then there are six gates specifically responsible for intelligence, rebellion, and gang crime arrests and interrogations. The last one is a military police force responsible for maintaining military discipline, ensuring the implementation of military orders, and being responsible for military arrests and interrogations.

The Ninth Bureau of the Supervision Department, this newly established department is extremely mysterious, but also extremely powerful.

The Director of Supervision has no real power and is only responsible for administrative coordination. The nine subordinate bureaus do not have the same subordinates, and are all responsible to Li Jing, the Secretary of the Dachang Taiwan. Li Jingmen, Jinyiwei, Military Intelligence Bureau, and Investigation Bureau are all responsible for intelligence agencies.

However, the Secret Service and the Armed Police Bureau, the Plum Blossom Inner Guards, the Six Gates, and the Gendarmerie are in charge of guards, ceremonial guards, prisons, inspections and arrests, and engage in reconnaissance, arrests, interrogation and other activities.

The nine bureaus have their own departments and do not interfere with each other. The power is huge, and the entire Northeast military and political affairs are all within their scope. However, the bureaus supervise and check and balance each other. For example, Lijingmen only has external tasks and no domestic authority to arrest and interrogate at home. The Military Intelligence Bureau is only responsible for military intelligence. The Investigation Bureau is only responsible for analyzing intelligence and coordinating various bureaus. The Jinyiwei has the power to reconnaise, but does not have the power to arrest and interrogate.

The Secret Service is only responsible for the guards, and the Secret Service is responsible for on duty and handling raids. The Meihua Inner Guard also has the power to reconnaissance. The Six Gates only have the power to arrest and interrogate, but do not have the power to reconnaissance. After the case is investigated by the Jinyiwei and Meihua Inner Guard, the arrest list must be handed over to the Bureau of Investigation, and then the Bureau of Investigation will be reviewed and sent to the Six Gates. The Six Gates can only be arrested and interrogated. Although the Gendarmerie, in addition to maintaining military discipline, also has the power to arrest and interrogate, it is limited to the right to arrest and interrogate military personnel.

These nine bureaus have different tasks and checks and balances each other.

Director Nine Directors are doctors, second only to senior officials of Pushe, Shangshu and Shishu. In particular, they are only responsible for Li Jing and have more weight.

Guo Wei belongs to the Military Intelligence Bureau. The Military Intelligence Bureau set up a Military Intelligence Office among each army, which is specifically responsible for military intelligence. Like the military police, the Military Intelligence Bureau has direct agencies in each army. The Military Intelligence Bureau and military military corps of each army are nominally under the jurisdiction of each army, but in fact they are independent of it.

Therefore, Lin Wu, the newly transferred chief of the Crane Army, was also very polite to Guo Wei, the leader of the Crane Army Military Information Department.

Regarding Li Jing's sudden establishment of the Supervision Office and the establishment of nine new departments, which were second only to the Ministry, and were also responsible for matters such as intelligence and reconnaissance, arrest and interrogation, the officials of the Northeast Army knew very well that this was a means for the prince to strengthen internal control. All dynasties have never lacked such institutions in history. Although the government had formal judicial institutions, as superiors, they always needed to secretly establish a reconnaissance agency that belonged to him and obeyed his will.

"Report to the army leader, there are about 300 Lu Long's army, all of whom are escaping towards us, intending to be imprisoned by Changping and the army. Behind them, there are about two or three thousand people, carrying hundreds of livestock, hundreds of ox carts, camel carts, and dragging their families with their families." Guo Wei reported seriously.

The Crane Control Army was divided into three divisions at this time. Wang Yanzhang and Gao Siji led 1,000 people to Lu County and Yongnu County respectively.

After Lin Wu took over Liaoxi County, he did not intend to let the escaped Lu Long's army go. However, he did not go to the right, but instead followed the route pointed out by the Military Information Department and advanced directly along the Qidu River, then walked around the deserter, waiting here, preparing for ambush.

The military officers in the army believed that there was no need to ambush, and their strength was ten times that of the enemy. Nowadays, the military officers were established in each army. In the army, there were special staff officers, and their subordinates were joined. Most of these military officers were transferred from the martial arts lecture hall to study, while the rest were young enlisted scholars. Li Jing set up the staff officers in the army, one to train more reserve officers, and the other to increase the command and strategy level of each army.

However, although these young soldiers can write and calculate and write poems, they obviously lack experience.

Lin Wu just smiled and did not use their methods.

Although chasing from behind can win, it is difficult to completely annihilate the captured enemy troops.

There were three thousand cavalry in his hand. Lin Wuke was not satisfied with defeating this enemy. He had to capture them all without missing a single net. In his heart, there was a more important plan that required him to take down all of this deserter.

He separated the six cavalry battalions under his command and hid three of them in the north of the woods. In case of precautions, he sent two cavalry battalions to the west, then sent three hundred cavalry to the south, and two hundred cavalry to the reserve team.

This is a foolproof arrangement.

As Guo Wei reported, Fan Dongjun and others were in a panic at this time and fled westward, without any time to send people to open the way in advance. Hundreds of cavalry hurriedly plunged into Lin Wu's ambush circle.

Lin Wu watched Lu Long's defeated soldiers break into the ambush circle without any defense, raised his bow, and shot an arrow from the corner of the defeated soldier.

The cavalry screamed and fell off his horse, and fell less than fifty steps away.

As Lin Wu shot an arrow, the crane-controlled cavalry, who had been waiting for a long time, immediately set their bows and shot arrows.

For a moment, arrows fell like rain, and the more than 300 defeated soldiers who were rushing in front were shot down one by one. Screams and screams came one after another, and the defeated soldiers were caught off guard and in chaos.

After three arrows, the crane-controlling cavalry in the woods stopped shooting arrows and turned over their horses. The trumpet soldiers on the forest blew the trumpet.

Amid the sound of the trumpet, the iron hooves of the war horse flew over and hit the ground heavily, making a dull sound like thunder.

Three battalions of 1,500 cavalrymen broke out in the woods, like a torrent.

Without waiting for the ambush from the other three sides to attack, Lin Wu had already taken the cavalry from the north to directly cross the deserter team of 300 people. Fan Dongjun and others were completely frightened and could not have the desire to resist. Facing the Northeast cavalry with a strong aura, they looked as if they were ashes. They threw down their weapons, jumped off their war horses, and knelt down on the ground and surrendered.

"Subsequent, down!"

Fan Dongjun shouted in a trembling voice facing the bright rifle and saber.

"Report your identity!" A Northeast Army shouted loudly.

"Fan Dongjun, the magistrate of Liaoxi County, Shunzhou!"

"Zhang Degong, deputy general of Liaoxi Town, Shunzhou!"

"Zhou Zhi, the leader of the team in Huairou Town, Shunzhou!"

......

Lin Wu rode on the horse, looking down at the fishes that were caught in the net, and nodded with satisfaction.

The barrier of Changping and military control.

At dusk, a team of cavalry suddenly arrived. When they approached, they realized that they were in a very embarrassing state.

With the emergence of this team of cavalry, behind them, there were sparse long dragons of people.

The defenders on the city were nervous and quickly sounded the alarm. Soon, the defense in Changping City sent Duan Dashan to climb to the city. Looking at the cavalry and the people getting closer, he couldn't help but frown. What happened?

"The person who comes stops, please inform us of your name!" Zhang Gong, the guard captain on the top of the city, shot an arrow, and the arrow struck a fox line and landed sixty steps below the city.

The running cavalry slammed the war horses in front of the arrows, and one of them rode his horse to the city alone and shouted loudly: "In the county magistrate of Liaoxi County Fan Dongjun, there is also Liaoxi deputy general Zhang Degong, and Huairou team leader Zhou Zhi."

A lieutenant next to Duan Dashan spoke out: "It's indeed Fan Dongjun. He even escorted food and grass to Junduguan a few days ago."

"Fan Ming Mansion, why did you come here suddenly?"

"General Duan, Li Jing suddenly sent troops to attack our Youzhou Town. At present, Liaoxi County and Huairou County have been lost. We are worried that Li thieves will come to attack Changping and Junduguan, so we come to report and reinforcements. Please open the city gate quickly, and pursuers are at the back. We also ask the general to send people to the city."

When Duan Dashan heard Li Jing heading south, Huairou, western Liaoning, had already lost, and Duan Dashan was extremely frightened.

As the barrier behind the military gate, Changping is very important, but there are only three thousand defenders in the city. If the bandits suddenly arrive, it is indeed dangerous. However, Duan Dashan still sent a team of personal soldiers out of the city very cautiously. After verifying the identities of Fan Dongjun and others, he ordered the city gate to be opened.
