Chapter 404: Speculation

Lanjia is a man who can do things.

He knew that his city guards were worrisome in combat.

Therefore, he does not want every soldier to have the individual qualities of the soldiers of the three battalions.

He selected the best of these people and trained an elite guard of fifty people.

The elite of this group of city guards is not much different from the elite of the three major battalions, and they are all candidates with very high-quality individual combat capabilities.

At the moment, Chu Ke said that he would send someone to keep an eye on the mouse, and he let the guard dispatch.

Of course, the number of people cannot be too large.

Too many people are staring, and it's easy for rats to spot anomalies.

Five elite city guards were scattered across the streets, secretly monitoring the rat that had been discovered by Chu Ke.

Chu Ke stood on the tall building, watching his every move.

"Your Majesty, could this person be from the Demon Realm?" asked Lan Jia, looking at the mouse below.

"Yes, this guy pretends to be a normal person, but those eyes are different from those of those who browse the street view, and he is very reserved. Chu Ke said, "He probably didn't expect it himself, but he was because his eyes showed flaws." ”

In fact, it is true, the rat pretends to be an ordinary person.

Like everyone else, I will casually linger at the street stalls for a while to buy something.

However, he disguised his expression very well.

But those eyes that kept scanning the surroundings were unfortunately discovered by Chu Ke.

The rat didn't know it at the moment, and he was already being targeted.

He had just bought a pancake from a vendor, chewed it in his hand, and walked around seemingly casually.

However, his course of action was faintly distributed near the Xicheng Army camp.

When he had walked around the Xicheng military camp enough, he walked together and left again.

"Your Majesty, this person lingered outside the Xicheng Army camp for a while, and now he has left. After Lan Jia got the latest development, he immediately explained it to Chu Ke.

"Well, where did he go?" Chu Ke asked.

"It's said that I went to the Dongcheng military camp. Lanjia replied.

"Another barracks?" Chu Ke raised his eyebrows, "It seems that this rat is here to spy on the reality of the troops in the city." ”

But as soon as he finished speaking, Chu Kexuan fell into thought.

What is the use of Gu Nan sending people over to spy on the military situation?

With the two or three big cats and kittens under his command, can he fight against the soldiers of the three battalions?

Even if it is a city guard, it may not be able to take it.

In that case, why did he risk the few remaining manpower in the police station to find out the information?

For a while, Chu Ke couldn't imagine why.

At this time, he was a little nostalgic for Situ Hong and Liu Feng on the Ancient Continent.

One of these two is the generalissimo of the soldiers and horses, and the other is the god of the Continental Army.

If the two of them were there, they would definitely be able to see through Gu Nan's intentions in an instant.

But himself, the way of using troops against the two armies is quite accomplished, but for the overall situation, there are some shortcomings.

Patting his head, Chu Ke sat back in his chair from the window.

Lan Jia waited on the side, not daring to say anything.

"Commander Lan, if it's you. If you only have a few men at your disposal, would you be willing to send a person to infiltrate the enemy's base camp to spy on intelligence? Chu Ke turned his head and asked the city guard commander beside him.

"No, it won't. Lan Jia thought for a moment and said.

"Unless it's to understand the enemy's movements and make a plan for retreat on your own. Of course, if I still have a troop to use, I won't be stingy to spy on intelligence alone. ”

"But it's all based on retreat, or the ability to counterattack. Other than that, I can't think of any other situation where I would need to risk getting enemy intelligence. Ranga finally added.

"Counterattack...... Chu Ke muttered these two words in his mouth.

In his mind, he was thinking about whether Gu Nan still had the ability to counterattack.

Gu Nan originally used stealth assassination to act in Yuezhou City.

Xu Zhuo is his only assistant.

Even in Yuezhou City, there are forces that have a relationship with him.

But under the control of Xuan Bingtai, he no longer has the opportunity to make waves in Yuezhou City.

Retreat? It is possible, but it will be reserved for the time being.

Suddenly, Chu Ke's eyes suddenly burst and he stood up suddenly.

"Your Majesty, what's wrong?" Lan Jia was also shocked, what happened to make this Immortal Emperor so out of shape?

"No, I suspect there is an ambush in the Hengduan Mountains!" Chu Ke said to Lan Jia.

Lan Jia was stunned at first, and then a look of surprise appeared on his face in the next second.

"Gu Nan is not retreating at all, he is still in contact with Xu Zhuo, who is hiding in the Hengduan Mountains, and is still maintaining their own intelligence network for Xu Zhuo. Chu Ke walked back and forth, clasping his hands behind his back.

"Xu Zhuo has been the city lord of Yuezhou City for so many years, how could he not leave a back hand? If he still has a group of soldiers and horses in the Hengduan Mountain Range, then Gu Nan's actions are easy to explain. ”

"Are they trying to judge the situation of the soldiers and horses left behind in the city, so as to target Lord Li Su?" Lan Jia was shocked.

"No, I'm afraid it's worse. Chu Ke stopped, his face solemn.

"If they are large enough, I don't think they care about Li Su's two thousand troops at all. What they want...... I'm afraid it's Yuezhou City!"

Lan Jia's face turned pale.

"Your Majesty, there are now more than 3,000 soldiers in the three major battalions of Yuezhou City, plus the city guards, there are also 5,000 people. There are still many sects in Gaozhou, and we hold on to the city, even if Xu Zhuo's traitors dare to come, it will be difficult to take it. Lanjia said.

"The top priority should be to send someone to inform Lord Li Su that he must not fall into the ambush of traitors. ”

"No, that's not the first priority. Chu Ke raised his hand to interrupt Lan Jia's words, he sat back in his chair and said in a deep voice.

"Li Su has 2,000 people, and the terrain of the Hengduan Mountain Range is complicated, even if Xu Zhuo has 10,000 soldiers and horses, he can't hope to find them in a short time and wipe them out. The top priority at the moment should be to strengthen the city's defense forces, and not let them take advantage of loopholes. ”

"Humble the battalions and get ready. As she spoke, she was leaving.

"Wait!"

As soon as Lan Jia took a step, he was left behind by Chu Ke.

He looked at Chu Ke puzzled, isn't the most important thing now to assign tasks and strengthen defense?

"Since Xu Zhuo and Gu Nan want to attack Yuezhou City, they will definitely not fight an uncertain battle. What's more, they also know that I, the Immortal Emperor, are in Yuezhou City. Chu Ke narrowed his eyes and said coldly.

"I'm interested in the trick they left now, how many of them are there to even ignore me, the Immortal Emperor?"

Immortal Emperor, that is the ultimate realm of immortal cultivators.

An immortal emperor is comparable to an army of 10,000 golden immortals.

If they didn't have absolute confidence, how could Gu Nan and Xu Zhuo fight the idea of Yuezhou City?

"Commander Lan, please arrange it immediately. The three battalions were given the illusion of a large number of people to confuse the rat. Chu Ke said.

"In that case, will this rat still be caught?" asked Langa.

"No, sometimes it's more effective not to grasp than to grasp. Chu Ke said, "In addition, I also have to send someone to secretly inform Lord Li in the Hengduan Mountain Range, I have done this here, I'm afraid that his side will have a little impact." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Lan Jia was ordered to go down, leaving Chu Ke alone in this tall building, looking down on the scene of Yuezhou City.

"Hinder?"

Chu Ke leaned against the window, his fingers tapping regularly on the wooden window.

"Xu Zhuo, Gu Nan, I don't know what you rely on?"

...

In the Hengduan Mountains, 2,000 soldiers and horses led by Li Su were marching.

After a night's march, Li Su had approached the core of the Hengduan Mountains.

Passing through one of the remaining Grand Canyons, you will reach the most central area.

"My lord, the spies in front have come to report that they have found traces of human activity. ”

A soldier walked into a military tent, came to Li Su, and told him.

"Concrete. ”

Li Su lowered his head and studied a map of the Hengduan Mountain Range, and said without raising his head.

"Twenty miles ahead, there were subtle signs of human activity in the woods. Wild grasses and branches are obviously trampled on and broken. ”

"Well, let's see. Be careful, scouts, we may be near. Li Su said.

The soldier took the order and went out, and Li Su looked at the map for a while before raising his head.

"Wu Wen!"

After a short while, Wu Wen walked in from outside.

"My lord, is there something wrong?" Wu Wen asked.

"Divide the army into three parts, disperse the action at a certain distance, and form a corner of each other. After Li Su finished speaking, he paused and said, "Mix the soldiers of the 600 Xicheng Army with the soldiers of the other two battalions, and I will lead the Chinese army, 800 people." ”

"Yes, sir. As soon as Wu Wen gave up his hand, he turned around and went out to carry out the military order.

After Wu Wen left, Li Su knocked heavily on two places on the map, and then put the map into the storage ring.

When I lifted the curtain and walked out of the tent, I was greeted by the lush tall trees all over the mountains.

Li Su thought to himself that Xu Zhuo could continue to stay in this environment, if there was no mountain city in the Hengduan Mountain Range, he would never believe it.

Even if it is an earthen castle built with earthen walls, it is impossible.

Xuanbingtai's entry into Yuezhou has become an established fact.

This means that Yuezhou has been directly taken over by Asgard.

Normal people can escape at this time, and the first thing that comes to mind is that the farther away from the Asgard forces, the better, and it is best to escape directly to the Demon Realm.

But Xu Zhuo still had the courage to stay in the Hengduan Mountain Range, which was not far from Yuezhou City.

If there is no considerable force left here, where will he still have the courage to fight against Xuanbing Terrace?

Just thinking about it, the messenger sent by Chu Ke had already arrived at Li Su's temporary camp at this time.

The Hengduan Mountains are not far from the city of Yuezhou, and even at the speed of the army, the rapid march only takes more than one night.

And the rapid march is even only half a day.

A single messenger travels at full speed, and in about two hours, it will reach the Hengduan Mountains.

If the cultivation is a little higher, the time can even be shorter.

"Lord Li, this is Lord Chu Ke's secret letter. With that, the messenger tore open his robe and tore a piece of paper from the mezzanine.

He sewed the secret letter into his clothes.

Gu Nan took the secret letter and looked at it, and couldn't help but have a trace of surprise on his face.

After reading the secret letter, he rubbed his fingers lightly, and the secret letter disappeared in an instant.

"I know, back to Chu Ke, I know how to cooperate. Li Su said.

The messenger did not stop for a moment, even though he got up and returned.

"My lord, the three armies are ready to be dispatched at any time. ”

As soon as the messenger left, Wu Wen returned.

"No, reorganize, disperse the army in colonels, we have to break it into pieces. Li Su said.

Wu Wen was stunned, he didn't know what Li Su thought of when he just left, he was about to change his strategy so soon.

But when marching to war, it is important to obey orders.

So although he was surprised by Li Su's decision, Wu Wen still quickly assigned the task.

After the three incense sticks, Wu Wen returned to Li Su's side.

All the personnel have been assigned to a school of 300 people, of which the school in charge of Li Su is 500 people.

"My lord, what are we going to do here?" Wu Wen still couldn't help but ask.

"We can't let the enemy find out the situation on our side, and it's best to make them think that Yuezhou has just sent a small force of troops to sweep the mountain range. Li Su looked at the undulating mountains in the distance and said.

"The people under Gu Nan's hands appeared in Yuezhou City and were discovered by Chu Kemian. I originally thought that Xu Zhuo still left a soldier and horse in this Hengduan Mountain, but now it seems that this army may not be simple. ”

Wu Wen's face was shocked.

Isn't it simple, the people under Gu Nan's men are still spying on intelligence everywhere in Yuezhou City.

What does this mean?

It shows that Gu Nan and Xu Zhuo are very likely to be connected.

And the fact that these two people are still connected represents one thing.

In Xu Zhuo and Gu Nan's hands, there are still hole cards to play.

"But my lord, if we turn into so many small troops, will we be defeated by Xu Zhuo and them one by one?" Wu Wen said worriedly.

"Break? no, quite the opposite. Li Su shook his head and said.

"In Xu Zhuo's hands, he may have a more powerful force than Yuezhou City, and if we gather together, the goal will be even greater. ”

"When the time comes, whether it is a pot or involving us in the Hengduan Mountains, so as to take advantage of the situation and enter Yuezhou City, they will be left to do it. ”

"However, if we disperse our operations, we will give them the illusion of a small group of enemies. On the contrary, they will not take it to heart, and they will not immediately know about the fact that there are two thousand soldiers and horses guarding the city in Yuezhou City. ”

"This gives us more time to prepare more completely. ”

Li Su paused, then turned to look at Wu Wen and continued.

"This time, our goal is no longer to find Xu Zhuo and eliminate him. We just need to know where he is and how many cards he has. ”

Then while he hadn't discovered the reality of Yuezhou City, he quickly withdrew to the city, and his previous plans were all in vain, and there was no way. ”

Wu Wen understood that this was an intelligence war to fight the time difference.

This kind of practice is dangerous, and the slightest mistake will cause very serious consequences.

But for now, it's the best thing to do.

An army of 2,000 was dispatched, and it could not return in vain.
