p> Li Tingzhi walked out of his temporary line in Macheng County, looked at the mountains in the distance, and the pines and cypresses went straight into the sky, which made people feel proud. The army has been here for several days, surrounding this small county town for hundreds of miles, and now there is no sign of marching in except for strict drills all day.

P> only he knows best in his heart, now it is time to retreat, separated by a Dabie mountain range, not to mention the supply of other grain and grass is a big problem, the narrow mountain road can only be used by one wheelbarrow at a time, not to mention the danger of accidentally falling into the cliff, and this Macheng County has become a white land, and it is impossible to help so many people.

P > long before the troops were dispatched, he knew that this time "we can't stop fighting, we can't fight hard", this is a principle, and now that the Tartars can be driven out of the mountains, the goal has been achieved, and then forward? Li Tingzhi turned his head and went west from the county seat, maybe the Tartar had already set a trap waiting for him to take someone to drill.

p > and his subordinates also know this, and now that no one mentions continuing to march into the army, everyone knows that even if they want revenge, they can't just rush over and die. The problem is that now the morale of the army has been puffed up, and they will retreat without fighting, and they are all a little unwilling.

p>Judging from the table these days, Li Tingzhi knows that his opponent is a fierce opponent, knows where his strengths and weaknesses lie, and once he chooses, he will not drag his feet. Even if he put those factors aside, he was not sure whether he would be able to win, he was a decisive man, and now he just lacked a suitable reason.

P> "Oh, bring people in." Hearing the report of the soldiers, Li Tingzhi was a little surprised, but he quickly ordered, this person he knew, their situation Liu Yu had told him in detail, I didn't expect this kid to have such a hand, all his actions are only in his eyes, Li Tingzhi looked around, and suddenly there was a feeling that there might be people hiding in those houses, walls, and even mountains, and they were observing themselves with a clairvoyant.

The person who came from the > was a black bull who had stayed in the area of Huangzhou, and he had been hiding nearby with a few people, and even approached the line of Yangluo Fort when he came out first. Li Tingzhi looked at this tall man with a bamboo hat in his hand, wearing a short shirt, and his body was tanned and red, stepped forward, took out a letter card from his waist and handed it to his personal soldiers, who carefully distinguished it for a while before nodding at him.

P> "What's your name?" Since it is his own person, Li Tingzhi's voice has also become kind, although he governs the army very strictly, he treats ordinary sergeants more kindly, Hei Niu is the first time to meet such a high-ranking court official, he is inevitably a little nervous, and his tone is a little knotted when he asks like this.

p> "Yu Dashuai, the little one is called Hei Niu, oh no, that's what they call it, and the little one's name is Liu Er." Listening to his stumbling words, Li Tingzhi smiled, this is a sincere person, like most of the ordinary sergeants under his command, it is this kind of person who may have been a pawn of the family to form the army of the Great Song Dynasty, guarding this beautiful country.

p> "Okay, Liu Er, tell me, you came to see Ben Shuai, what is the matter?" Maybe Li Tingzhi's smile encouraged him, Hei Niu took a deep breath and calmed down, he reached out and removed the bundle stick on the hair register, took the stick in his hand, and with such a twist of his hands, the stick became two.

p > Li Tingzhi saw it very clearly, this stick was hollow, there was a roll of paper in it, and he took it from the hand of the black bull, and he found that the roll of paper was quite large when unfolded, extremely thin but not transparent, and it was also very tough, there were no common raw edges around it, and it was full of dense small characters, and it was also equipped with simple schematic diagrams.

p> "What is this?" Li Tingzhi read a few lines, although the writing was not regular, it could be seen that he had put his heart into it, the picture was very detailed, the distribution of the Tartars' military strength, and the key points were marked one by one, and even the activities of the patrol cavalry were clearly recorded, far from being comparable to those spies in his army.

p> "This is too obedient to us to hand over to the marshal, he said that the marshal may be able to use the army, according to our observations, the Tartars in the Yangluo Fort area of the army is comparable to here. But recently, there seems to be a new army in the fort, and the number of cavalry has increased a lot, and there are many patrols along the way, and a few of us are a little lucky to come back alive. ”

p> Li Tingzhi nodded, according to Hei Niu's words and the information on this paper, the Tartar did not set up an ambush, maybe it was to lure himself out. In any case, it is impossible to move forward, he is not interested in caring about the arrangement of the Tartars, what to do after the most critical retreat now, how to guard the pass on the front line of Dabie Mountain?

p > it is impossible for him to stay in Huaixi all the time, after all, Jiankang is his serious ministry, and at present, the position of Huaixi is undecided, and it makes sense for him to run like this, once there is a new master in Luzhou City, it is a little inappropriate to intervene directly, unless it is a large-scale attack by the Tartars, and it is necessary to unify the command of the various theaters.

p > thought of this, Li Tingzhi was a little big, he raised his eyes, and inadvertently swept over the black bull's waist, the black long box-like thing was very eye-catching. Thinking of the situation he had come into contact with before, he suddenly remembered that this thing could transmit sound through the air, so he asked.

p> "Qi Yu Dashuai, the little one is talking about this, Taishou hopes to talk to you directly, he has something important to say to Dashuai." Li Tingzhi has no concept of communication distance, of course he will not know that Liu Yu is in Huaixi at the moment, only a mountain away from them, and when he took over the walkie-talkie of Hei Niu, the button for the call had been pressed, and the indicator light flashed green.

p > maybe it's because of the mountains, the sound is a little noisy, after a "rustle" electric sound, Liu Yu's voice came out, Li Tingzhi waved his hand, and his kiss began to arrange a guard around, driving away a group of idle people, leaving only a few people such as him and Hei Niu.

p> "The handsome man is fine, it's Liu Yu, can you hear it clearly?" After speaking. I don't know how far away it is, Liu Yu's voice was slightly deformed, but it was still roughly audible, Li Tingzhi subconsciously looked left and right, as if to make sure that the person was not nearby, so he raised the intercom to his mouth as he did last time.

P> "Ziqing, it's Ben Shuai, are you in Beijing?" It's good, but if the ministry is decided, where does the court want you to go? That's the end of the sentence. "It's not the first time I've used this thing, Li Tingzhi probably remembers adding a conclusion at the end, he doesn't quite understand the purpose of doing this, but it doesn't prevent him from doing it.

p > "It's hard to say, I'm afraid that this matter will not be settled for a while, and I am worried about the big handsome, but now there is a very important matter, so a certain person went to the big handsome" The matter is a little complicated, Liu Yu did not be more polite on the walkie-talkie, and said the results of Li Shiyi's investigation.

p > sure enough, Liu Yu's words attracted Li Tingzhi's attention, he knew that this kid had never spoken a word, and he said it so strictly, then there must be something big to happen, and it shouldn't be a good thing. Although he was mentally prepared, when Liu Yu really said something, his face changed in an instant.

p >As an old commander who is familiar with the border situation, how could Li Tingzhi not know the weight of this, the Tartars have been peeping at the border for a long time, but after the new defeat, it is not for nothing that such a large-scale conscription of troops and food is not for no reason, will they have a big move? Thinking of this time last year, there were not many troops moving by the Tartars, and there was not much abnormality along the border, this qiē was particularly weird.

p > "That's basically the case, a certain has ordered Li Shiyi, the one who crossed the river to your camp last time, and ordered people to go deep into the enemy territory to find out, if they find out the situation is consistent with what they just said, Dashuai, we have to make plans, this time the Tartars are likely to attack in a big way, and the court is not prepared at all." After speaking. ”

p> "Ziqing, Ben Shuai already knows, you can rest assured that this will order all sides to be on guard, and the court will also write to inform you." There is something I want to discuss with you, can you let him use this Li Shiyi for the time being, if you want him to be directly under the commander, and deliberately inquire about the news, what do you want to report directly to a certain knowledge? ”

p > Li Tingzhi said his thoughts, and after waiting for a long time, he didn't hear Liu Yu's reply, thinking that he was unwilling, but the black bull on the side had already seen that the power indicator on the walkie-talkie was off, and they were very familiar with this situation, which meant that the box could not be used, and they generally had to wait for someone to change it, so they took a step forward and stretched out his finger to the indicator light that should have been red.

> listened to the black bull's explanation, Li Tingzhi smiled dumbly, this is nothing difficult to understand, the ox cart still needs to eat, this thing can be transmitted for thousands of miles, naturally you have to feed something. Anyway, he is the supreme commander here, and it is expected that it will not be a big deal to let them report the news directly to him, but it will not be easy to find these people.

P> "Commander, Taishou has already informed us, and I will report to you as soon as there is any news, and if you have any sends, please give orders, and the little ones will do their best." The black bull gave a military salute respectfully, this was originally their purpose here, otherwise what was the use of getting this news.

p > Li Tingzhi patted him on the shoulder to show his approval, and ordered a personal soldier to lead a few of them down to rest, the matter is already very urgent, and it can't be delayed any longer, if the Tartars drag this army here, and they attack the state capitals along the border in a big way, it will be very troublesome, and made a decision in his heart, Li Tingzhi strode towards the inner hall.

P> "Pass the order, beat the drum and gather the generals!" Those who do not arrive after the three links are engaged in military justice. Li Tingzhi's words carried a majesty, and his cold face made people dare not look directly, and the soldiers led the order, and after a while, the huge military drum rumbled and spread to all directions centered on the county seat.
