Master Xue Si's resentment Gu Zhixian didn't know, and even if he knew, he was in no mood to pay attention to it.

Only one Xue Si master is far from being able to compare with the safety of tens of thousands of people in Qingjiang County, while Duan Wenrui is urgently training, Gu Qian also discussed with Gu Tai and others a strategy to annihilate the Japanese invaders.

In order to prevent the Japanese from attacking and disturbing the people of Qingjiang County, Gu Qian decided to kill the Japanese outside Qingjiang City, but the choice of the ambush location and whether the battle was sure to win became a difficult problem for Gu Qian to scratch his head.

"My lord, I think Qingshuijian is a good choice. Gu Tai looked at the map of Qingjiang and said in a deep voice.

"Qing Shuijian?" Gu Qian's brows furrowed slightly, falling into deep thought.

"My lord, the lower officials think that Qingshui Stream is inappropriate, and it is more prudent to Yangguping. "Since the death of Wang Xiancheng, Ma Zhu, and now Ma Xiancheng's cousin Xiàn have become more and more active, after all, now Qingjiang County Ya is already Gu Qian's world, if he wants to sit firmly in the second position of the county Ya, he has to move closer to Gu Qian, in order not to be marginalized.

"Yangguping?" This place name is even more unfamiliar, Gu Qian followed Ma Xiancheng's gaze and looked at the map, only to see that Yangguping is a flat land not far from Qingshui Stream, compared to the narrow mountain stream, this place is definitely an unacceptable choice.

"Lord Ma, Yangguping is a flat land. Gu Tai reminded.

"I know it's flat land, but don't forget, Mr. Gu, I'm a native of Qingjiang, and I'm more familiar with the local topography of Qingjiang than Mr. Speaking of this, Ma Xiancheng showed a smug look.

"Old horse, don't sell it, it's more detailed. Gu Qian saw that Ma Xiancheng's smug beard was about to be raised, and hurriedly urged.

"Yes," Ma Xiancheng didn't dare to take Qiao in front of Gu Qian, muttered for a while, and explained, "Although the Qingshui Stream chosen by Mr. Gu occupies a geographical advantage, the mountain wall is extremely high, and it is a knife cutting trend, and an ambush from top to bottom not only cannot guarantee the killing of the Japanese Kou, but our officers and soldiers are worried about their lives. ”

"What if you block people from both ends?" Gu Tai argued.

"If we lure the enemy deeper, we can only block people from one end, right?" Ma Xiancheng said, "Both ends of Qingshui Stream are cliffs, and there is no good place for Tibetans at all. ”

Ma Xiancheng's words were reasonable, Gu Tai had to admit that he was negligent, but fortunately, Gu Tai was not the kind of person who admits death, knowing that he was thinking wrongly, he immediately bowed his head and asked, "What about Yangguping?"

Yangguping is located between Qingshuijian and Qingjiang County, a small field, the place is not big, but there are many forests around, it is not only an excellent resting place, but also an excellent ambush place. Ma Xiancheng stroked his beard and said with a smile, "According to the report of the spies, the Japanese have gone to Beixiang, the people of Beixiang are fierce, and the villagers are not afraid of death, and they will not let the Japanese take advantage, once the Japanese lose in Beixiang, they will definitely give up Beixiang and come to a richer county seat." ”

Speaking of this, Ma Xiancheng paused, and saw that Gu Qian and Gu Tai both looked at him, so he was a little proud, and explained softly, "After passing through the clear water stream with steep terrain, the tense nerves of the Japanese will definitely relax, and Yangguping is the best place they can find to rest." ”

The analysis of the defeat of the Japanese in Beixiang is the conclusion reached by everyone, so Gu Qian did not object to Ma Xiancheng's words, but he is an outsider in the end, and he is not very familiar with the local terrain of Qingjiang, in order to be safe, he asked Lao Wu Tou to call in, Lao Wu Tou has been mixed in the county government all his life, and there is nothing he doesn't know in the whole Qingjiang.

Hearing that it was Gu Qian who called him, Old Wu Tou came in a hurry.

"Master, are you looking for me?" Old Wu Tou opened a pair of slitted eyes, nodded and said to Gu Qian.

"Old Wu Tou, are you familiar with Qingshui Stream?"

"Qing Shuijian?" Old Wu Tou thought about it for a while, and then asked cautiously, "Master, why are you asking this?"

"I just asked you if you are familiar with Qingshuijian, and you can just answer truthfully. ”

"Yes," Old Wu bowed his waist and glanced at Gu Qian before he replied cautiously, "Back to the old man, Qingshuijian Xiao Lao'er has passed by a few times, and he is quite familiar. ”

"Then do you know that there is a place to hide at the exit of Qingshuijian Beixiang?"

When asked this, Gu Tai and Ma Xiancheng's hearts were suspended, and they turned their eyes to Lao Wu Tou in unison, so frightened that Lao Wu Tou lowered his eyebrows and didn't dare to speak.

"What's the matter?" Gu Qian's face sank, and his tone became a little heavier.

Seeing that the county master was angry, Old Wu Tou didn't dare to be careful, he quickly glanced at Ma Xiancheng and Gu Tai, and whispered, "If you want to talk about hiding places, there are still them." ”

"Oh?" Gu Qian raised his eyebrows, and a little joy appeared on his face, "Come quickly!"

"Xiao Lao'er's Hun family is a native of Beixiang, and when he was young, he often went to Beixiang to visit relatives, so the clear water stream has also passed many times, once it rained heavily, Xiao Lao'er was in a hurry to avoid the rain, and accidentally found a stone cave on the cliff wall by the stream. ”

"Stone cave?" Ma Xiancheng said in disbelief, "How is it possible?"

"The second old man doesn't know," the old Wu Tou explained, "The Qingshui Stream was originally a short road from Beixiang to the county seat, and the old men had to take a carriage and horse when they went out, so how could they walk on the sheep intestine path? ”

"That's why you stumbled upon that cave?" Gu Tai interjected, "You said you discovered the cave when you were young, so is the cave still there? Is there any danger in the cave? How many people can be allowed to hide? Does anyone else know about this cave?"

Gu Tai's words almost stunned Lao Wutou, but fortunately, he was an old official, and his thinking was also very clear, he bowed his waist and said slowly, "The cave is still there, Xiao Lao'er still walked through it when Beixiang suppressed bandits, there is no danger in the cave, and it can accommodate five or six people to hide, as for whether other people know it, Xiao Lao'er doesn't know." However, the cave was more than a man high above the ground, and there were bushes to cover it, so not many people should know about it. ”

Old Wu Tou's words gave the three of them an unexpected joy, if the cave is really available, then the introduction of the Japanese Kou into the Qingshui Stream can block the exits on both sides, forming a trend of closing the door and beating the dogs, so that those ferocious and vicious Wokou should not be called the earth and the earth are not spiritual, just waiting to be killed by Duan Wenrui with his troops.

Gu Qian's face showed a bit of joy, and he said in a stacked voice, "Quickly call Duan Wenrui over!"

"My lord, do you still want to do some on-site investigation?" Ma Xian, who wanted to show his face once, lost his front hoof, and his expression was a little depressed.

"Old Ma, time waits for no one, that group of pirates has already gone to Beixiang, we must stop them when they return, now it is already a risk to let Duan Wenrui lead people to Qingshuijian, and if you go to the field to investigate, I am afraid that the pirates have already been killed in Qingjiang." ”

Ma Xiancheng calculated his steps, and had to admit that Gu Qian had a point, he reluctantly took a step back and stopped talking.

After getting Gu Qian's order, Duan Wenrui didn't say a word, and took people out of the county office.

I practiced the soldiers for two days with the method taught by Gu Qian, although the formation method was not too proficient, but the hearts of the officers and soldiers finally had a little more confidence, and the terrain of Qingshuijian was dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack.

Duan Wenrui was already known as a cold-faced killing god, and with him in town, the soldiers who would be lazy and slippery also obediently restrained a little, and when they heard that Duan Wenrui asked them to pack up their things, they immediately rushed to Qingshui Stream to block the enemy, and everyone's hearts beat a small drum.

"The pirates don't know where they are, so let us go to Qingshuijian to ambush, what if the pirates don't go?" someone complained in a low voice while checking their weapons.

"Although Duan Dianshi has taught us to practice several formations, can we really resist the long knife of the Japanese with a few bamboos?"

"Be quiet, Master Duan is here!"

A few people got together and muttered, although they were worried, but they didn't dare to argue with Duan Wenrui in person, everyone took their weapons, and after taking a roll call in the compound, under the leadership of the team leader, they walked towards Qingshui Stream with neat steps.

"Just go out like this, aren't you afraid of being informed by the Japanese invaders?" Ma Xiancheng couldn't help but say as he looked at the high-spirited soldiers.

"According to the spies, the pirates have already returned from Beixiang, and we have to set up them in Qingshuijian before they do, so even if their whereabouts are exposed, we can't let them catch up. Duan Wenrui's eyes showed a hint of murderous aura, "I have already arranged manpower on the road, and no one is allowed to go to Beixiang through the guò path." "If you encounter someone who is collaborating with the enemy, take it immediately.

"That's good, that's good. Facing Duan Wenrui, who had a murderous aura, Ma Xiancheng couldn't help but keep silent, and retreated behind Gu Qian quietly.

"Wen Rui, be careful. Time waits for no one, and Gu Qian didn't have time to say anything encouraging, his eyes stared at Duan Wenrui worriedly, and he was speechless.

"Your Excellency, please rest assured, Wen Rui will definitely come back with the head of the Wakou to ask for credit. ”

"Okay, let's go!" Gu Qian was shocked, patted Duan Wenrui on the shoulder, and watched him turn over and gallop away.

"My lord, sit back in the detention room and wait for Wen Rui's good news. Seeing Gu Qian's brows frowning slightly, Gu Tai couldn't help but comfort.

"Where can I sit still!" Gu Qian smiled bitterly, "It's not that you haven't seen the situation of the military training in the past two days, I just hope that they can kill the Japanese and return safely." ”

"Even if the formation of the soldiers is not proficient, isn't there still Wen Rui?" Gu Tai said with a smile, "In the first battle of Beixiang back then, Wen Rui fought hard, and a few widows, I'm afraid it is not in Wen Rui's eyes." ”

"They are all vicious people, and they must not be taken lightly. "The rebellion on the southeast coast has been going on for many years, and Gu Qian doesn't have the optimistic attitude of Gu Tai.

Just in the worry of the county ya, Duan Wenrui led the troops to the Qingshui stream between Beixiang and Qingjiang County, he had just stuffed people into the cave, and covered the shrubs and bamboos outside, when he heard the sound of hurried footsteps on the mountain road not far away.

Click, click, is the unique sound of clogs striking on the stone slab.
