Four hundred and fifty-three? Return to Xibai (7)

"This place. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info" After Situ Zhishui came, Zhou Yanbo immediately gathered everyone, pointed to a place on the map and said, "Uh...... Fork in the road between west and north. ”

"A fork in the road between west and north?" Zhou Yizhi followed Zhou Yanbo's finger and looked at this place on the map, it was indeed a fork in the official road, but this place belonged to Xiao Ze, so there was no substantive name, "Isn't this just a fork in the road, there is no name." ”

"I don't have to worry about the name I came up with for the time being, what I'm going to say next is what matters." Zhou Yanbo said, "The fork in the west and the north, if the main force of the other party wants to come over now, this is the place where you must go, after here, to the east is Xibai, to the south is Hengshan City, at this time the importance of this place is self-evident." ”

"According to Mr., it's a decisive battle with the main force of the Jin clan here?" Situ said with a smile.

"That's right, this place is a place that I think is good and can't be better, this place is not far from the south of Hengshan Ridge, Liangxi Road is this point is distinctive, there are undulating mountains everywhere and short rivers, enough for us to give full play to the terrain advantages, and after this place, except for the peony peak of Xibai, it is almost flat ground, which is too suitable for cavalry attacks."

"Use the terrain to erase the advantage of the opposing cavalry."

"That's right, the other party has really put a lot of effort into this time, the Zhou family Qijun is here, I'm afraid I won't find a better opportunity than this time in the future, I heard that the Jin clan has used the most elite army and people who can use it well, so for us, it is also a rare opportunity."

"How do you hear that the gentleman is holding a big gamble?" Situ Zhishui originally thought that Zhou Yanbo was thinking of attacking Xibai and then avenging himself, but now it seems that it is definitely not.

"That's right, the Zhou family and the Jin family are betting on the future!" Zhou Yanbo snapped his fingers, "It's a little off the original topic, let's come back, Lord Si Ming's intelligence, tomorrow early in the morning, the main force of the Jin clan will reach the fork in the west and north, so what we need to do next is to immediately rush to this place and build a castle to block the other party!" ”

"You're talking about it lightly." Xiao Yuan said, "Immortal Lord, I'll do the math for you, our army arrived there with the wood and masonry for construction, no matter how fast it is, when we get there, it will be almost the end of the second half of the night, if the other party Su Guo arrives on time in the early morning, we won't even have half an hour, how can we build a castle that is enough to stop the other party's march?" This is still a premise that does not take into account the physical exertion of our army. ”

As soon as Xiao Yuan said this, everyone thought about the method that Zhou Yanbo said, it is indeed not very reliable, I am afraid that even the castle has not been built, but has already fought with the main force of the Jin clan.

"Of course I do." Zhou Yanbo nodded, "If I couldn't think of this, would I bring it up like this?" ”

"Does the fairy lord have a good way?"

"Without anything, what will happen if you travel lightly to the fork in the road between west and north?" Zhou Yanbo began to guide Xiao Yuan.

"If you don't delay anything, you'll arrive in less than midnight, and you'll have a whole night to build, which is enough." Xiao Yuan thought for a moment and replied.

"Isn't there no problem with the timing?"

"What about the materials? It's impossible to use local materials, right? Xiao Yuan asked, "What I said is enough, but it doesn't include the time to collect local materials." ”

"Who told you to take local materials?" Zhou Yanbo rubbed his nose, "The materials have already been lying quietly in that place waiting for you to go." ”

"Lying quietly waiting for me?" Xiao Yuan really didn't understand why Zhou Yanbo said this, could it be that the material could still be refined? Xiao Yuan also thought that it was possible to transport materials from other places, but this was really impossible, the only route that could transport materials was the official road where Zhou Yanbojun was transporting materials now, so that even if he arrived at the place, the materials should still be on the way, so it would be back to the situation he said at the beginning, and it might be worse.

"Well, it's useless to think too much." Zhou Yanbo clapped his hands, "Now let's take the first step, Xiao Yuan, you and Situ Zhishui are ready to travel lightly to the fork in the road between the west and the north, I want you to start building the castle immediately after you arrive, and you must get it done before the main force of the Jin clan arrives there tomorrow." ”

Although Xiao Yuan and Situ Zhishui received the order, Xiao Yuan still muttered in his heart, how could this be done.

Before leaving, Xiao Yuan still asked Zhou Yanbo, how could this be done, but Zhou Yanbo just smiled faintly and replied: "Because I am a cat fairy and have this ability." ”

……

"Brother Situ, what do you think of what the immortal master said?" On the way, Xiao Yuan still couldn't figure it out, so he asked Situ Zhishui beside him.

"I can't think of any quick or good way, but since the gentleman said so, there must be his way...... I'm afraid it's definitely not a normal way, otherwise we would have thought of it a long time ago. Situ Zhishui said what he thought.

"I know that the fairy lord does things strangely and treacherously many times, but it also has to be in line with common sense."

"I don't think it's common sense for a gentleman to do things." Situ Zhishui said, "Why don't we speed up and hurry, won't everything be clear when we get to that intersection?" ”

"That's right." Xiao Yuan nodded, he was really curious, and immediately waved his hand to signal everyone to speed up and hurry, and when it came to the fork in the road between the west and the north, it was a quarter of an hour earlier than the scheduled time, but Xiao Yuan didn't think about how long he was early, because he was speechless by the scene in front of him, at this intersection, there were neatly stacked timbers and masonry, but there was no one around.

Situ Zhi dismounted and went to check, and after tapping the wood and masonry with his fingers, he said to Xiao Yuan: "It's all true." ”

"How is this possible!" For a long time, Xiao Yuan only spit out this sentence.

"Whatever you think." Situ Zhishui shook his head, "Seeing is believing, if you don't believe it, you can come and touch it, the touch of your hand will not deceive, it is absolutely real, it's just ......"

"Just?"

"The wood is a little wet, and some of the masonry has signs of water, could it have been prepared a day or two in advance and put it here?" It had rained a day or two ago, so Situ Zhishui would think so, if it was prepared in advance and placed here, then everything made sense.

"Then I also think it's powerful enough, although the intelligence of the Jin clan is not as good as Luo Yingshe, and it may not even be able to catch up with the Jiazhou Military Department, but a bunch of materials have been placed here for a day or two, they don't seem to have seen it, it is impossible for the Jin clan to find a group of blind people to collect intelligence, right?" Saying that, Xiao Yuan got off the horse and checked the materials.

"yes, that's the most likely thing I can think of."

"Forget it, it's not a secret when the fairy lord comes, let's start preparing to build." Xiao Yuan said and began to direct the people to build the fortifications, "All the torches are extinguished and carried out secretly, don't let the Jin guys notice." ”

In the middle of the night after Xiao Yuan left, Zhou Yanbo summoned the rest of the camp, "It's time for me to get ready to go, and after I get there, it is estimated that the castle will be completed." ”

"This is going? Then I wish you all the best. Zhou Ke said.

Although it was to deal with the main force of the Jin clan, but Xibai couldn't be unguarded here, lest they stab the knife from behind, Zhou Ke took over Zhou Yizhi's burden and stayed to monitor Xibai, Zhou Yanbo allowed Zhou Ke to use the Shenhuo camp on Peony Peak, and told him that if Xibai wanted to come out of anything, he could use the Shenhuo camp to directly destroy the four gates of Xibai and trap them in the city, Zhou Ke was the most clever among the seven horses, so Zhou Yanbo didn't have to worry about it at all.

"Well, Sibai is over to you." Zhou Yanbo said that he had put on his white coat, Hu Ji'an had already assembled the scattered servants of the formation, and the rest of the people were ready, and then Zhou Yanbo rode on his horse and began to go to the fork in the west and north.

"Sir, this time you should tell us how to solve the building materials, right?" On the way, Zhou Fengxue asked, in fact, everyone was concerned about this issue, Zhou Fengxue just asked, "Could it be that you prepared it in advance and put it there waiting for them to take it?" ”

"Preparation must be prepared in advance, but I can't put it there, isn't this a clear telling the other party that I will bully you here? All materials are being conveyed today. ”

"But it's too late to get there from the camp."

"Who told you it was delivered with a barracks?" Zhou Yanbo said, "The material ...... But it was sent from Shangmo's territory. ”

"Shang Mo? Isn't that in the Jin family? Zhou Yizhi said, "This is ridiculous. ”

"It's because it's ridiculous that it's possible." Zhou Yanbo said, "If you are a member of the Jin family, do you think it is possible for the people of the Zhou family to transport building materials from within their own territory? ”

"How could it be, if this was the case, I would have intercepted it a long time ago."

"It's impossible to think about it, so I can do it with peace of mind." Zhou Yanbo said, "Thanks to the Luo Yingshe led by Lord Si Ming. ”

In fact, Zhou Yanbo's approach is very simple, obtain the materials for construction from Shangmo, and then put them into the stream in Shangmo's territory, and then send people to intercept the wood and masonry tied to it at the fork in the west and north of the downstream, and pile it there.

"Absolutely." After hearing this, Zhou Yizhi said with admiration, all this can be said to be doing things under the nose of the other party.

"Of course, it is impossible to rely on Luo Yingshe alone, but fortunately, Lord Si Ming has met a lot of people in the past and south, including the local Haoqiang in Shangmo, although it is not good to say that they are just local gangsters, but in terms of work efficiency, it is higher than the regular army, after all...... It's their territory. Zhou Yanbo said.

"That's ......"

"Alright, everybody, keep up!" Saying that, Zhou Yanbo sped up.

After Zhou Yanbo arrived at his destination, a basic castle was almost completed.
