Chapter 150: Yao's Scheme
In the past, the soldiers under Gu Tianlan's seat, generally speaking, had two ends. One was buried in Azure Town with Gu Tianlan, and in the blink of an eye, the hero became a dry bone. The other was loyal to Gu Tianlan, felt that Gu Tianlan's death had an inside story, and kept defending Gu Tianlan, but Yu Li Yejin was not pleasing to the eye, so he was classified into the tiger and wolf camp.
The so-called Tiger Wolf Army, whose name sounds domineering, actually has the lowest status under Li Yejin's rule. When there is no war, they do the hardest work, and in wartime, they act as death squads.
When the Tiger Wolf Battalion was first established, there were tens of thousands of people in it, and now there are only 5,000 people left. The rest either died or fled.
The remaining 5,000 people are not so much loyal to Li Yejin as to Gu Tianlan. If they really escaped, then there would really be no one to say anything for Gu Jiajun. They used their last temperament to prove that Gu Jiajun was not greedy for life and afraid of death.
"Your Majesty doesn't trust us at all, so how could he entrust us with such a job?" Yun Yaohu wondered.
Yun Yao is the leader of the Tiger Wolf Army, he is Gu Tianlan's cousin, and he has always regarded Gu Tianlan as his own sister. When the news of Gu Tianlan's death came, Yun Yao did not recover for a long time, and locked himself in his home for three days before he came out again.
Two years ago, Yun Yao was only sixteen, and he had already begun to show his talents, and with Gu Tianlan's trust, his future was limitless. He is a child born from a concubine, and his status in the family is also rising.
Gu Tianlan is dead, and Yun Yao is not in a desperate situation. On that day, many generals took a fancy to Yun Yao's talent and wanted to use it. But Yun Yao stubbornly called himself Gu Jiajun. Therefore, it has become a thorn in Li Yejin's side.
Li Yejin sent Yun Yao a few dangerous missions, but he didn't expect this kid to be ruthless, and he saved the day several times.
The eighteen-year-old man, with a face between a teenager and a young man, dressed in coarse linen clothes, slender like a bamboo pole, did not see the slightest demeanor of the young man two years ago.
In the past, with Gu Tianlan under his protection, he was a young man who didn't know those people's conspiracies.
Now, without Gu Tianlan, he has seen all the world, and gradually has a pair of eyes that can see through people's hearts.
"General Yun, I also think there is a problem. Lin Xi said. Lin Xi is Yun Yao's confidant, and the relationship between the two is good.
Yun Yao frowned, not thinking of a reason.
At this time, a person walked over, and when he was side by side with Yun Yao, he stopped and showed a weird smile: "Yun Yao, congratulations, you have been a grandson for so many years, and you are finally going to be reused by Your Majesty." ”
It was Li Yejin's cronies who mocked him, the one who was originally responsible for escorting military rations.
Yun Yao had long been accustomed to these cynicisms, and said without changing his face: "Then thank you to Commander Wang for giving me this opportunity." ”
"Yo yo, you take it seriously! Yun Yao, don't think this is a good thing. Do you know what awaits you? Yes......" The man suddenly approached Yun Yao and smiled hideously, but he bought another pass and left laughing.
Yun Yao turned his head, looked at the man's back fixedly for a moment, and clenched the spear in his hand meaningfully.
Yun Yao turned on his horse and took the 5,000 soldiers of the Tiger Wolf Army to take over the position of the king who originally escorted the military rations.
Twenty wagons of rations were to be escorted, all covered with black cloths. The military rations were urgent, so the Tiger Wolf Army barely stopped, and continued to move forward with the military rations.
"General Yun, looking at the expression of that bastard just now, it seems that this time is a turning point. Your Majesty may really have a different opinion of us. Lin Xi rode to Yun Yao's side and said with a smile.
Yun Yao laughed, the gloom in his eyes did not dissipate, and he continued to move forward.
Lin Xi was very excited, he felt that if they could see the moon, their tiger and wolf army would finally correct their name!
"General Yun, I'll go back and inquire. Lin Xi said, and excitedly rode his horse in the opposite direction.
They escorted rations and marched slowly. Lin Xi can catch up with them after a few more rounds.
They continued on for half a day, resting on the way.
Yun Yao sat in the grass with a spear in his hand. Lin Xi, who was still very optimistic in the first half of the day, was already worried and couldn't give up when he came to Yun Yao again.
"General Yun, I just went to inquire, this escort of military rations is not a good thing. It's said to be escorting military rations, but it's actually for us to go ......"
"Die. Yun Yao took his words.
Lin Xi looked at him in astonishment.
"General, how do you know?"
Do you know what's waiting for you? Yes......
It's dead.
He saw the answer in the eyes of the man surnamed Wang.
"General Yun, there is a dangerous terrain ten miles ahead of here, and there is only one road, between two dangerous peaks. It is very likely that Gongsun Yi has set up an ambush and wants to rob the grain. If they fail to rob the rations, they will burn the rations. Lin Xi said.
"It's not military rations anymore. Yun Yao said.
Lin Xi was even more surprised: "It was actually a cotton cloth poured with oil, which ignited when it caught fire." General, how do you know?"
"Rutted marks. Yun Yao said.
If it was really a cart full of grain, the rut marks should not be so shallow.
If it weren't for the wrong timing, Lin Xi really wanted to give a thumbs up to his family. This cleverness is truly amazing.
Li Yejin was too ruthless, and when the fire burned, there were valleys on both sides, and the fire spread rapidly, which could be described as a valley of death. He wants us to die with the enemy!" Lin Xi said, "General, it's not too late, let's throw these things and escape." Why do we want to die for Li Ye?"
Yun Yao shook his head: "If you escape, you will be charged with desertion." ”
Lin Xi was stunned for a moment, and smacked fiercely: "The general is right, the people who are still there now are the ones who don't want to be deserters! However, it is too worthless to give up his life for Li Ye!"
"We are not for Li Ye's life, but for Gu Jiajun. Yun Yao said.
"Yes, for the sake of Gu Jiajun, for General Tianlan. I've had enough of the damn these days, stay in the underworld, and continue to be General Tianlan's subordinates! Besides, pulling a few Gongsun Yi's people as backers can be regarded as avenging General Tianlan. Lin Xi said.
After a short rest, the army of rations continued on its way, marching towards the foretold land of death, without hesitation.
In the place that Lin Xi called the 'Valley of Death', there were actually layers of people who had been ambushed.
The victory of this ambush is related to the war after that, if Li Yejin successfully gets the military rations, it will be like a tiger with wings, and the momentum will be more courageous in the future, and Gongsun Yi and Shuoyun will be in a disadvantaged position.
Therefore, both Gongsun Yi and Gu Shuiyue attached great importance to this sneak attack.
Gongsun Yi and Gu Shui stood on the top of the mountain, looking at the valley below.
"According to the scout's report, in half an hour, the team escorting the rations arrived. At least 5,000 men were escorted to the rations. Gongsun Yi said.
"Only 5,000 people?" According to Li Ye's suspicious and cautious temperament, he would definitely not send only 5,000 people to escort the military rations, Gu Shuiyue felt a little weird.
"These 5,000 men escorted about twenty truckloads of military rations, and there should be more in the back. Gongsun Yi pondered for a while and said.
Gu Shuiyue nodded, and when she faced Li Yejin, she was a little trembling. As long as Gao Xuan successfully attracted Li Yejin's attention, the sneak attack here would be much easier.
Nishikawa Castle.
Gao Xuan was dressed in battle armor and stood on top of the high city tower, looking at Yingzhou City in the distance.
Outside the city of Nishikawa, there is a main army of Mochizuki, who are eyeing the outside and will attack if they have the opportunity.
The expression on Gao Xuan's face was more serious than ever. He watched quietly for a while, then turned and went down the tower.
Downstairs, a team of 60,000 people has been assembled.
"General Song, attack the left flank of the enemy, General Chen, attack the right flank, General Tang, attack head-on. Gao Xuan commanded.
"Obey General Gao's orders!"
"Mochizuki stepped on our land and deceived my people, we will fight with all our strength this time!"
"Yes, fight to the death and drive Mochizuki out of the land of Shuoyun!"
All the soldiers are high-spirited.
"Don't fight with all your might, and don't fight to the death. Gao Xuan said.
“...... What?"
At this moment, all the soldiers were dumbfounded, looking at their commander dumbfounded, and it was a little difficult to understand what he meant.
"You make a full-scale attack first, and when you attract Mochizuki's attention, you retreat. Gao Xuan said.
This time, all the generals heard clearly.
Although it is a little strange, the commander's order is a military order, and they must not disobey the military order, so they have to do it.
The gate of Nishikawa City opened.
The soldiers of Nishikawa Castle attacked Mochizuki like a river.
Gao Xuan stood on the tower again, closely following the battle.
Mochizuki has been stationed outside the city for a month, and he has long been a hungry tiger, and with such an opportunity, they will definitely pounce.
"General, something is wrong. Gao Qingtong stood beside Gao Xuan, looking at the battle situation in the distance, and couldn't help but understand.
"Mochizuki's people actually took a defensive posture and didn't attack. Gao Qingtong said.
They attacked this time to attract Li Yejin's attention and attack the west, but Li Yejin was not fooled at all, did he know that this was a conspiracy!
Gao Xuan's face changed, and he slapped the guardrail in front of him.
"Gu Shuiyue is in danger!"
But it was too late for him to know the truth, even if he sent someone to tell them about it!
At this time, Gongsun Yi and Gu Shuiyue, who were hundreds of miles away, didn't know about this situation.
They lay dormant in the grass halfway up the mountainside, waiting for the arrival of the army rations.
The scout went to spy on it, but there was no ambush by Li Yejin in the vicinity, and it seems that Li Yejin was indeed dragged by Gao Xuan's attack.
The sound of horses' hooves is getting closer and closer with the sound of wheels.
"They're coming!"
At the end of the narrow valley, the trucks escorting military rations gradually jumped into everyone's eyes.
At this time, it was already dark, and I saw a piece of black oppression, and I couldn't see people's faces clearly.
Soon, however, the soldiers would be burned to ashes under the fire.
In the current troubled times, death has become a norm.
Everyone held their breath and waited for the general to give the order and immediately attack......
