Liu Qingsu told Sun Haoyue about the incident.

It's just that Liu Qingsu didn't know that Sun Haoyue was not surprised when he knew the news.

Sun Haoyue originally wanted to reply to Liu Qingsu or something, but in the end he thought that he would wait for Wu Anhou and them to act.

Xuan said that it was three or five days later, and on the third day, the river was covered with mist.

"Marshal, our scarecrow is not enough now."

Shi Lei replied.

The others also looked solemn when they heard the news. If there are not enough scarecrows, there will be many enemy arrows at that time.

"Is the straw enough?"

Xuan said: "It's still a little short of returning to the marshal's straw, but it's already been said." You can be pulled to the barracks right away. ”

Wei Yuanhou said: "Our previous plan was to attack in batches, but the time of the fog is limited. Generally, when the sun is very strong, the fog will also disperse. Shi Lei said that it may be sunny in two days. If the sun comes out, then we must start the plan in the early hours of the morning when the river is foggy. ”

Wu Anhou said: "The enemy's archers are too powerful, if we don't go through this level well, our road after that will be difficult." Let's talk about it again before sunset today. Now let's push it out and see if it can go as planned. ”

Not long after the few people left, Wu Anhou was also pacing back and forth in the tent to think of a way.

"What's the matter?"

Wu Anhou looked at a soldier who came in with his head down and asked.

I saw the soldier take off his helmet from his head.

"Temple"

Wu Anhou hurriedly looked outside, then lowered his voice and said in surprise: "Why are you here at this time?" ”

When Sun Haoyue came to find Wu'anhou before, it was at night, and night was a good time to hide his body. And during the day, it's different, especially now that the operation is about to begin, in order to leak the news, the patrol has been strengthened recently, and the military camp at this time is more under martial law than before. Wu Anhou originally thought that Sun Haoyue would meet them in the southwest after talking to him last time, so Wu Anhou was very surprised to see Sun Haoyue at this time.

"Plans have changed."

Sun Haoyue's simple four words made Wu Anhou very cautious.

"The military division of the enemy camp in the southwest, I heard that this person is also a person who is familiar with the art of war, so if our side follows the original plan, it will definitely not arouse suspicion at first, but it is difficult to guarantee that it will not fall short in the middle or in the end. After all, although the other party on our side has not figured out the specific reality. But how many people are there on our side? The other party is still clear. The opponent's arrows are also numerous, and the arrows will decrease when the time comes, but the people on our side have not weakened in the slightest, and the other party will definitely suspect it. ”

Wu Anhou nodded. What Sun Haoyue said is true. If it is really known by the enemy. Then the enemy may not be fooled by the time.

"Also. There are also sailors on the southwest side. It's just 30,000. ”

This news was much more shocking than what Sun Haoyue said just now. After all, what Sun Haoyue said before is possible, and it is also possible that the enemy will be careless and not aware of it. Although 30,000 sailors are not many, they can be used as a vanguard force. Originally, I thought that the enemy would not be able to defeat him. Now the enemy is likely to be coming. It seems that the only way to do this is to solve it quickly.

"We can't afford to delay any longer."

Sun Haoyue nodded and said, "What Master Hou said is right. As soon as I came to the southwest, I may go further at any time, and it is still unclear whether the 30,000 sailors were originally there or trained later, but I got the news that the southwest side is building ships. Second, protracted warfare consumes food and grass. We may not be able to afford it. ”

Wu Anhou still doesn't know much about what Sun Haoyue said at the end. The Great Yu Dynasty is rich in land and resources, and it is originally much stronger than the Southwest Yi people, even if there is a rebel party in the previous dynasty to help the evil, it should not be as good as the Great Yu Dynasty.

Sun Haoyue seemed to know Wu Anhou's thoughts. At this time, it is time for Wu Anhou to let them have a bottom in their hearts.

"Before the outbreak of the Southwest Rebellion, 200,000 taels of silver in the Qiu Mansion of Sanqing County suddenly disappeared. Later, I found that the food of the army in the southwest had improved, and the local residents were eager to become soldiers, and at that time we had no intention of recruiting troops. So we suspected that something was wrong with the southwest side. But in order not to startle the snake, we didn't do anything else. ”

Wu Anhou listened to Sun Haoyue's words, and his thoughts suddenly flew back to the previous confession of Emperor Wen in the court, as well as the performance of Emperor Wen and Sun Haoyue at that time. Wu Anhou now finds that the situation at that time is clearly a song and harmony between Sun Haoyue and Emperor Wen. No wonder Emperor Wen suddenly had such a great favor to the southwest at that time.

Sun Haoyue said: "So there is no shortage of silver coins in the southwest. And when I was in the southwest, I found people from Qiu Province. So everything is pretty much the same as I thought at the beginning. ”

"So what Hou Ye said just now is right. For today's plan, we will solve it quickly. Then the main thing for us is not to be too passive. The original plan could have been carried out, but we had to change our thinking. ”

Wu Anhou listened to Sun Haoyue's words and said, "I don't know what you think? ”

Sun Haoyue said: "What are you going to do? ”

Wu Anhou said: "The scarecrow is still a lot worse. So let the big guy go back and monitor the progress first, think about it again, and then discuss the situation again before sunset. ”

"Scarecrow isn't enough?"

Wu Anhou nodded.

"Then we don't need such scarecrows now. We have three attacks this time. By the third time, the scarecrows around the hull of the ship had a few larger ones to cover our soldiers. Some soldiers can be hidden in the middle of the boat, and the bottom of the boat can also be followed by some sailors. These people served as the vanguard troops, and the rest of them went overland. ”

In addition to Fengjiang, there are actually other places that can go to the southwest, but they are all gorges, and they have long been tightly guarded by enemy troops. Moreover, that place is not suitable for large armies, not to mention that it is easy to defend and difficult to attack. If you force this road, you may lose at least half of your military strength. If that's the case. Even if you go to the southwest, you will only be sent to death.

Wu Anhou also felt that things were tricky at this time, but it seemed that Sun Haoyue said that this was also the best way.

"If we take the land route when the time comes, don't send too many troops, just let the enemy know about it, and retreat if you can't fight."

Wu Anhou now doesn't understand what Sun Haoyue means.

"There is a line of heaven in Yu Mianshan in the northeast of the Fengjiang River, and as long as you pass through that line of sky, you can also get to the enemy's side. But that line of heaven was very steep, and ordinary people did not dare to go. The local people in the southwest never thought that our army would pass from there, and when I came here today, I took that road, and there was no one to guard it. Therefore, during the night of these two days, I tried to let some people pass from where they came first, and by then almost 50,000 people could pass by, counting those who passed by water. We can get at least 100,000 people here. ”

Wu Anhou nodded.

"When the time comes, I will let the person who specially lead the way pretend to be a woodcutter at the foot of Mianshan Mountain and wait for you. The joint code is: 'Do you go up to the mountains every day to chop wood?' The other person will reply, 'Three days of fishing, two days of drying nets, and when the nets are drying, they will cut wood.' ’”

Wu Anhou nodded: "Write it down." ”

Sun Haoyue was about to say something when he heard footsteps, as if he was going to Wu'anhou's tent.

Wu Anhou hurriedly looked at Sun Haoyue, only to see that Sun Haoyue had already put on his helmet.

"The subordinates retired."

Sun Haoyue's voice came. Wu Anhou nodded.

The person who came was Shi Lei.

Luckily it's him. Wu Lei was transferred from the Fujian Navy. is not very familiar with Sun Haoyue. If it's Wei Yuanhou, maybe he will really be able to goof.

When Shi Lei entered the tent, he saw a soldier who was walking out with his head down, and then went out after giving him a salute.

Shi Lei looked at the soldier who always exuded a different temperament. I couldn't help but take a second look.

Seeing this, Wu Anhou hurriedly said: "What is the matter with Shi Xianfeng looking for Ben Shuai?" ”

Only then did Shi Lei turn his gaze to Wu Anhou and said: "The scarecrow is less bad now, but his subordinates still can't make progress. ”

Wu Anhou said: "It's okay, I just want to look for you." ”

After Wu Anhou finished speaking, he was instructed to go to Wei Yuanhou and **** Xuan.

In this gap, Wu Anhou said to Shi Lei: "Let's start attacking tomorrow." In a while, let the generals of the battalion make some good food. Let's get ready for the battle. ”

When Shi Lei still wanted to ask what the situation was, the footsteps of Wei Yuanhou and **** Xuan had already entered.

"You're early."

Wei Yuanhou said with a smile.

Shi Lei hurriedly said: "Back to the deputy marshal, my subordinates came to talk about the situation of the scarecrow just now." ”

Everyone is in charge of different things, so Wei Yuanhou is not very clear about the specific situation on the scarecrow's side, but the scarecrow is also related to their plans, and now listening to Shi Lei's words, Wei Yuanhou asked, "How is it?" ”

"Can't keep up."

Wu Anhou took over and said.

Wei Yuanhou and **** Xuan were also a little anxious when they heard this.

"I've called you here to discuss our affairs again. It's been more than a month since we've been here, and there is still no progress at all. The more we delay here for a day, the worse it will be for us. Our morale will also fall by then. “

Wei Yuanhou said: "But the scarecrow is not in place, and it is not good for our plan. ”

Wu Anhou said: "I thought about it carefully just now. Our previous plan was still a little inappropriate. We don't know the situation in the place, but when we came, we all knew that the other party was likely to have the remnants of the previous dynasty, so it is not clear whether there are any powerful military divisions in the military camp on the other side, and we have not yet had a head-to-head confrontation. However, the number of soldiers on both sides of our side is clear to both sides, and the number of arrows on the other side is also numerous, so it would be inappropriate to arouse the suspicion of the other side at that time. So we have to adjust the plan. ”

Because several of them were military generals, Wu Anhou just said that they were all clear.

Wei Yuanhou said: "Then according to the marshal's opinion, what other ideas do you have?" ”

Wei Yuanhou always felt that something was wrong with Wu Anhou, but if he didn't know where it was.

But he remembered that when they came in just now, Wu Anhou didn't look worried when he said that he was going to make a quick decision, as if he had already made some calculations.

Wu Anhou listened to Wei Yuanhou's words and carefully said what Sun Haoyue said to him, but the land side had not said it yet, because Wu Anhou had to find a reason about Yu Mianshan and said how he arranged to find out.

So after listening to Wu Anhou's words, Shi Lei, who was already very familiar with the water master, spoke first.

"Even so, there are only about 50,000 people who follow us here, and even if most of the people on the ship are land soldiers, those of the sailors who swim past will not have the strength to fight?"

At this time, everyone turned their attention to Wu Anhou.

Wu Anhou then said: "We can also go by land." ”

As soon as Wu Anhou's words fell, Wei Yuanhou said: "The marshal should know that we can't go by land at all, and if we take the land route, we will definitely hurt the enemy by one thousand, and we will lose one thousand and two ourselves." ”

Xuan They also knew about this situation, otherwise they wouldn't have stayed here for more than a month.

Wu Anhou said: "For a period of time, I have been asking people to find out if there are other roads around here, and I just got the news that the first line of heaven on Yu Mianshan Mountain in the northeast of the Fengjiang River can be passed. The enemy didn't know about that place, and there was no one stationed there. But it was steep, and in order to avoid being discovered by the enemy, we had to walk at night. When the time comes, people who know the first line of heaven will lead the way, and there is no problem for the army to walk 50,000 in two nights. ”

When Wu Anhou spoke, everyone came out of the battlefield sand table and the marching formation map.

Everyone quickly started working on it.

Wei Yuanhou said: "Yu Mianshan is about ten miles away from Anling Gorge, which is guarded by land, and if we pass over from here, it will not arouse suspicion." But because we are divided into two batches, the first batch will inevitably be stationed on the mountain to wait for the second batch. But after all, there are many people, and if we can find that, it doesn't mean that other people don't know. When there are more people and there are accidents, that glimmer of time is also quite dangerous. Therefore, I suggest that we send another 20,000 men to feint at Anling Gorge, so that the enemy will mistakenly think that we are attacking by water and land at the same time, and then the enemy side will not have the time to take care of the Mianshan side. ”

The others thought it was wonderful when they heard Wei Yuanhou's plan.

So everyone is ready to arrange manpower.

Wu Anhou, the army who was going to Mianshan at night, told **** Xuan the code. The 20,000 in Anling Gorge were led by Wei Yuanhou. Fengjiang is returned to Shi Lei. Wu Anhou was responsible for guarding the last 150,000 soldiers and horses and the last assist.

When night falls, everything starts to get moving. (To be continued.) )
