The figure suddenly attacked, and Qin Xiao didn't care who that person was, he flashed to the side and punched out.

Before punching, he had already observed the opponent's position and speed, and made a good prediction, this punch was punched, fast and ruthless, "bang", and smashed firmly on the man's waist, the man screamed "ouch", covered his waist, bent down, and waited for Qin Xiao to see the man's face clearly by the firelight, only to see that face was full of pain, and lost his voice: "Zhao ..... Brother Zhao Yi! ”

The figure who was hit by his own punch turned out to be Zhao Yi under Yuwen Chengchao.

Zhao Yi covered his waist with one hand, raised his other hand and pointed at Qin Xiao, and said angrily: "Stinky boy, you ..... You're doing that.... So ruthless? ”

Qin Xiao hurriedly stepped forward to support him, and said apologetically: "I'm really sorry, Brother Zhao Yi, I didn't know it was you, you suddenly attacked from behind, I thought someone was going to assassinate you..... The assassination commander can't help but be ruthless. ”

"Who dares to ..... Who would dare to assassinate in the White Tiger Camp? Zhao Yi couldn't recover for a while, Qin Xiao helped him sit down, and he said angrily: "You have been in the camp for more than a month, and I am ..... I just want to see if you've grown. ”

Qin Xiao thought to himself, just with your little effort, you are still a fart, Lao Tzu didn't use all his strength, if you use internal force, your waist bone will be broken for you.

"If your skills are not as good as others, don't be ashamed." The tent door was opened, and I saw the fat fish coming out of it, calm: "Brother Wang didn't use all his strength, if you take out the strength to lift the Zhenhu Stone, you are only afraid that you are already lying on the ground unconscious." Only then did he turn to Qin Xiao and arch his hand with a smile: "Brother Wang, I haven't seen you for some days, it's always good?" ”

Qin Xiao didn't expect that these two guys would come to the White Tiger Camp in the middle of the night, and it was strange to say that when he saw these two guys suddenly, he still had a sense of intimacy in his heart, and he returned the salute and said, "Fat..... Big Brother Fat Fish! Thinking of something, he followed up and asked, "The eldest prince has always been good?" ”

"You'll know if you've seen it for yourself." Fat Yu lifted the tent and said inside: "Eldest prince, Brother Wang has arrived." ”

Qin Xiao was stunned, but quickly stepped forward, and the fat fish said to Zhao Yi: "You just sit outside and guard." He said to Qin Xiao who came over: "The eldest prince has been waiting for you, go in quickly!" ”

Qin Xiao entered the tent, and the fat fish also followed in and lowered the tent door.

Inside the big tent, I saw two people standing in the corner, one was Yuan Shangyu, and the other was the eldest prince Yuwen Chengchao, the two faced a high-legged board, and a map was unfolded on the board, before coming in, the two were obviously talking about this map.

"Brother Wang." Yuwen Chengchao turned his head and saw Qin Xiao coming in, showing a smile, and his voice was also very kind.

Qin Xiao took a few steps forward and arched his hand: "I've seen the eldest prince, I've seen the commander!" ”

Yuwen Chengchao looked up and down, and smiled at Yuan Shangyu: "Commander Yuan, it seems that Brother Wang's experience in the White Tiger Camp is not bad, thanks to your care." ”

"The eldest prince, the humble general will not dare to take credit." Yuan Shangyu said with a smile: "Actually, the humble general really didn't help much, this White Tiger Battalion has always been the top of the capable, Wang Xiao moved the Zhenhu Stone and tamed the Black Overlord, just these two things are enough to bravely crown the White Tiger Battalion and convince the soldiers." ”

Yuwen Chengchao said with a smile: "Brother Wang, I didn't expect you to have such skills, we were still clumsy before. ”

He smiled, Qin Xiao didn't know if there was any other meaning in his words, so he could only say, "Don't dare!" ”

"Sit down and talk!" Yuwen Chengchao sat down behind the large desk in the tent, and said to Yuan Shangyu and Qin Xiao: "

Sit down, y'all. ”

Yuan Shangyu arched his hand and sat down, Qin Xiao thought for a moment and sat down at the table.

"Brother Wang, do you remember a gust of wind Ding Zixiu?" Yuwen Chengchao looked at Qin Xiao and asked.

"Ding Zixiu?" Qin Xiao thought for a while, immediately remembered, and said, "What the eldest prince said was the gang of thieves who robbed the horse farm?" ”

He remembered very well that when he was in Lanyue Pavilion, the young prince revealed to Yuwen Chengchao that a group of robbers had robbed the Yuwen clan's horse farm at the foot of Qilian Mountain, and dozens of good horses were robbed, and that group of thieves was the group of Ding Zixiu who was a gust of wind according to the young prince.

He still remembered that Yuwen Chengchao once killed Ding Zixiu's two brothers in the fight to exterminate a gust of wind, so Ding Zixiu and Yuwen Chengchao had a deep hatred.

It's just that he doesn't understand why Yuwen Chengchao mentioned a gust of wind Ding Zixiu at this moment.

"Yes, Brother Wang has a good memory." Yuwen Chengchao's expression was grim: "In the past few days, both the Hou Mansion and the Metropolitan Protector Mansion have sent people to track down Ding Zixiu's traces, and just a few days ago, his hiding place has been determined. ”

Qin Xiao let out an "oh" and said, "The eldest prince came to the White Tiger Camp tonight, is he going to transfer troops to exterminate Ding Zixiu?" ”

"It is imperative to eliminate Ding Zixiu." Yuwen Chengchao said: "But you can't be in a hurry. He looked at Yuan Shangyu and said, "Commander Yuan is good at strategic deployment, so I came here tonight to ask Commander Yuan for advice, and I also want to come over to see Brother Wang." ”

"Thank you for your concern." Qin Xiao said with a smile, thinking that it was true to talk to Yuan Shangyu about suppressing the thief, but it may not be possible to come and see himself.

However, he came tonight, quietly, and didn't let too many people know, but quietly asked people to find him, which can be regarded as giving face to himself.

Yuan Shangyu stood up and walked to the map again, carrying his back with one hand, and pulling his beard with the other, thoughtfully.

"The terrain of Jigong Gorge is dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack." Yuwen Chengchao also got up and walked over, and said solemnly: "The terrain there is complicated, the ditches are vertical and horizontal, there are springs in the mountains, and there are holes in the slopes, which is not suitable for life, but once it really occupies it, it is really difficult to fight down." ”

Yuan Shangyu bowed his head and said, "I didn't expect that the Ding Zi Cultivator would choose to settle here. The front of the Jigong Gorge is narrow and the back is thick, the whole terrain resembles a big rooster, and the back mountain is steep and steep, and it is almost impossible to climb the cliff to enter their nest. As far as the general knows, in order to enter the back mountain, not only must you first seize the front mountain, but the most important thing is the deep valley between the front mountain and the back mountain, and there is only an extremely narrow stone passage in the middle, allowing only one horse to pass through. ”

"One husband should be closed, and ten thousand people should not be opened." Yuwen Chengchao's expression was grim: "Even if that stone path exists, it will be very difficult to attack their lair in the back mountain, and we have received news that that stone path no longer exists now. ”

Yuan Shangyu was stunned and said in surprise: "It doesn't exist? ”

"After Ding Zixiu settled in Jigong Gorge, he destroyed the stone road with manpower." Yuwen Chengchao said slowly: "He made people build a suspension bridge, and if you want to enter the back mountain, you need to lower the suspension bridge from that side, so that you can pass." ”

Yuan Shangyu smiled bitterly: "Eldest prince, if this is the case, it is really difficult to attack Ding Zixiu's lair." Pointing to a point on the map, he said: "The mountain in front of Jigong Gorge is low and the mountain behind is high, and Ding Zixiu has the lesson of the previous years, and now he will definitely be more cautious and cautious." If I were him, I would definitely build a high tower in the back mountain, condescending, the surrounding situation is clear at a glance, but whenever there are soldiers and horses approaching, they can find it at the first time, as long as the suspension bridge is not put down, even if the front mountain is captured, the back mountain can only be seen and not touched. ”

"Ding Zixiu knows him

The advantage is that a large amount of grain will be stored in the back mountain. Yuwen Chengchao said: "As long as there is enough food, even if he is besieged by officers and soldiers, he can hold on." He knew very well in his heart that the officers and soldiers could not send a large number of soldiers and horses to besiege Jigong Gorge and wear him down in order to exterminate him. ”

Qin Xiao also got up at this time, approached the past, looked at the map, but did not speak.

He also knew that it was inconvenient for him to say more on this occasion.

"Eldest Prince, Ding Zixiu, do you know that we have found his traces?" Yuan Shangyu asked.

Yuwen Chengchao shook his head and said: "We were very careful, secretly probed, and did not alarm Ding Zixiu, although I dare not be completely sure, but Ding Zixiu should not know that we have discovered him." ”

Yuan Shangyu said: "If you want to exterminate this gang of thieves, you can't delay, once you make a move, you must defeat the enemy with one blow." If you miss, it will be very difficult to find an opportunity again. After thinking for a while, he said: "To take the Jigong Gorge, we must first quietly get the front mountain in our hands, and we can't let the thieves in the back mountain find out, the second step, after taking the front mountain, our people are ambushed in the front mountain, trying to trick the other party to put down the suspension bridge, and then send elite people to cross the bridge, quickly control the thieves on the opposite side, and prevent them from pulling up or even destroying the suspension bridge." and so on, the people who were ambushed in the front mountain quickly entered the back mountain and wiped out the thieves. ”

"Commander Yuan's thoughts are similar to mine." Yuwen Chengchao nodded and said: "But there must not be a trace of mistake in this, a little negligence, everything is in vain." ”

"Eldest prince, do you know how many thieves are stationed in Qianshan?" Qin Xiao couldn't help but ask: "If you don't even know how many people there are in the front mountain and how they are distributed, and you can't quietly occupy the front mountain, then everything behind you is impossible." ”

Yuan Shangyu did not blame Qin Xiao for what he said, but nodded and said: "Wang Xiao is right, we must know how many people they have, and how many people are deployed in the front and back mountains. Even if we attack the back mountain, we must understand the deployment of the back mountain and the topography. Although we all know Jigong Gorge, but we don't know the terrain and path of the mountain behind Jigong Gorge, it is very steep, if they guard the dangerous place, we don't know anything about the terrain, even if they are finally exterminated, it will inevitably pay a great price. The expression became more and more serious: "So before we start, it is best to have a detailed topographic map of Jigong Gorge, and we must also know their situation well, know that the other side can survive a hundred battles, if we can't even figure out this information, easily send troops, and the humble generals will be bold and outspoken, and in the end we can only return with a feather." ”

"It's almost impossible to figure out the map of Jigong Gorge." The fat fish remained silent, and finally said at this time: "Ding Zixiu occupies Jigong Gorge and is heavily guarded, so it is impossible for outsiders to enter, let alone get the information inside." ”

Yuan Shangyu said with a straight face: "If this is the case, the eldest prince, forgive the humble and courageous, and the White Tiger Camp must not act rashly." ”

Yuwen Chengchao frowned and said, "Commander Yuan is saying that he knows that there are thieves, but he turns a blind eye?" ”

"The humble will not dare." Yuan Shangyu said solemnly: "It's just that the White Tiger Camp is the hard work of the old marquis, and every soldier here is the treasure of the Yuwen family, and it must not be used to fight an unprepared battle, or in other words, the White Tiger Camp cannot be used to gamble." ”

"I don't understand what you mean!"

"The White Tiger Battalion wants to suppress thieves, if you don't make a move, you can't win." Yuan Shangyu's expression was cold: "Victory, that is a matter of course, failure will bring huge disasters to the Yuwen family and even Yuwen County, the eldest prince thinks twice!" ”
