Chapter 152: Stop at a fork in the road

After Wang Kaibu set out from Wudu Road, his army came to a fork in the road after a five-day march.

The leading soldiers saw that there was a fork in the road ahead, and someone immediately rushed to report the matter to Luo Cheng, who was in charge of the front army.

When Luo Cheng learned that there was a fork in the road ahead, he immediately sent a herald to report to Wang Kaiyu, and he himself came to the fork in the road to check.

Just as Luo Cheng went to explore the way, Wang Kai also learned from the herald why the army stopped advancing.

In this way, Wang Kai's army temporarily stood by and waited for the results of Luo Cheng's investigation.

After Luo Cheng finished exploring the two forks in the road, he quickly rode his horse and came to the front of Wang Kai of the Chinese army.

Seeing Luo Cheng's arrival, Wang Kai immediately asked out loud: "Shixin, how is the situation of the fork in the road ahead?" ”

"Back to the lord, this fork in the road leads to two directions, one is Lintao County, and the other is Didao."

"Is there any difference between the two paths?"

"The road in Lintao County is far away but the road is relatively flat, and the road is close but the road is more rugged, if there is no guide to lead the way, the time to take the road should not be far from the time on the Lintao side."

Hearing this, Wang Kai suddenly thought to himself: "Di Dao seems to be the same as Wudu Dao is a Di tribe, and you can bypass Lintao and go straight to Xiangwu County by taking this road, and this Xiangwu is the last checkpoint to Di Dao." ’

Thinking of this, Wang Kai ordered the whole army to camp in place for repair, and he planned to find Xu Shuang, the patriarch of Baimadi, to help him.

After receiving Wang Kai's military order, the army immediately repaired on the spot.

At this time, Fang Qiao found Wang Kai and asked, "Lord, why did we stop marching?" ”

"Xuan Ling, you came just in time, I am looking for you for something."

When he heard this, Fang Qiao asked very suspiciously: "Lord, what are you looking for?" ”

"Xuan Ling, when I conquered Wudu Dao before, I met with Xu Shuang, the patriarch of the White Horse Clan."

"Xu Shuang? Is it the patriarch of the White Horse that the lord once supported? ”

"Exactly!"

"Lord, hasn't this white horse been surrendered to Ma Teng? Why did Xu Shuang find the main office? ”

"Xuan Ling, this is a confidential matter, you come with your ears."

Fang Qiao saw that Wang Kai looked mysterious, and he was very curious to get to Wang Kai's side.

Wang Kai followed and whispered to Fang Qiao about his secret appointment with Xu Shuang.

After hearing this, Fang Qiao was very surprised and said to Wang Kai: "Lord, is this matter serious? ”

"It's true!"

"If that's the case, my lord, then we can use them in the open."

"That's exactly what I mean, just now Shixin came to report that one of the forks in the road ahead leads to Lintao, and the other leads to Di Dao, I think the white horse of this Wudu Road should be in the same vein as the Di people of Di Dao, so I want to find Xu Shuang and let him take us from Di Road into Xiangwu County."

After hearing this, Fang Qiao agreed with Wang Kai's idea very much.

Immediately, Wang Kai began to wait for Xu Shuang's arrival.

Two days later, Xu Shuang followed Wang Kai's messenger from Wudu Dao.

After Xu Shuang entered the camp and saw Wang Kai and his military advisor Fang Qiao, he immediately bowed and said, "I don't know why the general urgently summoned me?" ”

At this time, Wang Kai waved his hand and signaled that all the pro-soldiers in the house would withdraw from the camp, leaving only Fang Qiao alone.

Then, Wang Kai said to Xu Shuang: "Patriarch Xu, don't you want me to help you restore your status as a white horse?" Now it's time for me to help me. ”

"General, please say, as long as the villain can do it, the villain will be duty-bound."

"I don't know if Patriarch Xu has had any contact with the Di people of Di Dao."

"Back to the general's words, Di Dao and the Di people of my Wudu Dao are from the same line, and we have deep contact."

"That's good." Fat cat bar

"I wonder why the general asked?"

"Patriarch Xu, I need you to help my army pass through the direction of the road, I wonder if you can complete it?"

"What? The general wants to enter the road. ”

"What? Is Patriarch Xu afraid that I will do something? ”

"How dare you!"

"General, don't hide it, the vicinity of this road is remote, and few Han people enter the road except for the Di people, if the villain rashly takes the general deep, I am afraid it will cause unnecessary trouble."

"Patriarch Xu, is this shirking?"

"General, it's not that I don't want to help you, it's really a villain who has something unspeakable!"

"Just say what you want."

Seeing Wang Kai's question, Xu Shuang finally replied helplessly: "General, don't hide it, although the Di people of Di Dao and the Di people of Wudu Dao are in the same vein, but the concepts of the two sides are very different, our people of Baima Di do not exclude contact with foreigners, but the people of Di Dao are very resistant to contact with foreigners, once the general's army enters Di Dao, I am afraid that the Di people in Di Dao will face each other with the general's saber soldiers, and please don't embarrass the villain." ”

After hearing Xu Shuang's explanation, Wang Kai was very disappointed and said to Fang Qiao: "Xuan Ling, it seems that our army can only take a detour from Lintao. ”

"My lord, this is not necessarily."

"Oh? What is Xuan Ling's opinion? ”

"My lord, after listening to Patriarch Xu's words, the minister had an idea, the army can't cross the border, but it doesn't mean that a small group of elites can't cross the border."

"Xuan Ling, what do you mean by that?"

Fang Qiao then whispered in Wang Kai's ear.

After listening to Fang Qiao's words, Wang Kai suddenly smiled and said a few seconds.

Seeing Wang Kai laughing, Xu Shuang was dumbfounded, because he didn't know why Wang Kai was laughing.

At this time, Wang Kai said to Xu Shuang: "Patriarch Xu, didn't you say that the Di people of Di Dao don't want to see foreign people, I will let my soldiers pretend to be Di people now, and then you will lead the crossing, so there should be no problem, what do you think?" ”

Seeing Wang Kai say this, Xu Shuang hurriedly replied: "General, the number of people cannot exceed three thousand at most, and I can't do it if it exceeds three thousand." ”

"Okay, that's it."

Subsequently, Wang Kai sent someone to summon Wei Chigong.

After Wei Chigong entered the camp, he saw the face of Xu Shuang, a stranger, appearing in the camp.

Although surprised, Wei Chigong didn't pay attention to it, but directly bowed to Wang Kai.

After Wang Kai said a word, he said to Wei Chigong: "Jingde, I have a task for you to complete. ”

"The lord has an order, but please command."

"I want Jingde to pretend to be a Di person and lead the army to cross the border from Di Road."

When Wei Chigong heard this, he immediately agreed.

Afterwards, Wang Kai asked Fang Qiao and Wei Chigong to go down and prepare.

And he waited with Xu Shuang.

Besides, when Fang Qiao and Wei Chigong began to choose soldiers, Fang Qiao suddenly pulled Yu Chigong aside.

When Wei Chigong saw Fang Qiao's mysterious appearance, he immediately asked, "Why is this?" ”

Fang Qiao immediately replied: "General Wei Chi, there were outsiders there just now, and the lord still has a follow-up task that I haven't told you in detail, so I'll tell you now." ”

"Strategist, please!"

"General Wei Chi, when you pretended to be a Di person to cross the border from Di Road, by the way, you did something that the Di people hated and blamed Ma Teng, the lord wanted to use the white wolf with empty gloves to use the Di people to consume Ma Teng's strength first."

"Rest assured, the general will complete the task."

After explaining, Wei Chigong continued to select the soldiers.
