Yue Xunyi shook his head, and from a pawn who did not have a good name, he became a general with a command of 10,000 troops, and no one would suddenly be immersed in it and unable to extricate himself.

Gongsun Jian stood up and patted him on the shoulder, "Right, how much power is a right, even if you are asked to command 50,000 troops, there are still officials above you who are bigger than you, even if you do it to the point of the old general Song Rong, there is an emperor above, unless you become the emperor yourself, you will not be able to be at the peak of power for the rest of your life." If you want me to say, the right, some are enough, even if you have always been in this position, believe it or not, when the world is peaceful, you can still be clothed in brocade clothes, food and clothing, no matter how big the right is, live in a two-zhang bed all year round, eat grains and three meals of chicken, duck and fish, and it will not be any better, to be a man, the most important thing is to be happy, and to be satisfied. ”

Yue Xunyi nodded heavily, knelt down on one knee and said, "General Gongsun, I understand!" ”

Gongsun Jian helped him up with a smile, "In my eyes, you and I are not superiors and subordinates, we have always been brothers, comrades, and people who live and die together!" ”

Yue Xunyi was in a trance, and there were faint tears in his eyes.

He stood up, clenched his fists, and secretly made up his mind that he could behead those who deceived the crowd with his vanguard!

Gongsun Jian turned his head, "I hinted to you to come over yesterday, but I didn't listen to you say this and pour you chicken soup." ”

Yue Xunyi smiled and said softly: "These things are all military affairs, except for General Yu and General Liu and the parties involved, no one else knows about ......"

"Less nonsense, let's talk quickly, Lao Tzu has no money in his purse, and you still want to sell news?"

Yue Xunyi swallowed his saliva, "Of course not, this is a big crime, anyway, you should just listen to it, everything is subject to the general's arrangement." ”

Gongsun Jian smiled and said with a strange expression: "Now you know to obey?" ”

Yue Xunyi touched his head, "Now the entire vanguard army is digging plank roads, everything is carried out in secret, twelve hours a day without stopping, General Yu wants to cross the plank road and not compete head-on with Mianzhou." ”

Gongsun Jian touched his chin and pondered.

Do not compete head-on with Mianzhou......

10,000 troops, sleepless for a month to dig the plank road, even the towering mountain of Qingyang Mountain will be crossed through a cave out, does General Yu want to cross the layers of mountains from the plank road and directly hit Jingzhou.

But this can't be said, if you want to take a detour, you can cross Luoshui directly from the northeast, don't have to be so troublesome.

"What are Sun Liang and Xu Kang doing for them?"

"I don't know about this, but when you were sent back by the Taoists, I seemed to hear that they were going to take a detour, so I couldn't figure it out, the plank road was detoured, and the army was also detoured, I really can't figure out why."

Gongsun Jian frowned, all of them were detouring...... So why didn't the Zhongzhou camp move......

After pondering for a while, a thought suddenly came to Gongsun Jian's mind, but he couldn't grasp the idea in the next second, he shook his head, "I don't want to, you can sneak a map over to me when you go back, by the way, how is Cao Ying?" ”

Yue Xunyi heard Gongsun Jian ask about Cao Ying, he sighed heavily, shook his head and said: "I haven't woken up, I can only rely on people to take care of and feed some thin food every day, and hang that breath, a month has passed, and he who was already very thin has become thinner." ”

Gongsun Jian's expression was gloomy, and he let out a sigh of relief and stood up, if he hadn't been careless, thinking that the knife had killed Hong Tian directly, it was estimated that Cao Ying would still be alive and talking to him.

"I'll apologize to him when he wakes up, I'll go back, don't forget to send me a map."

Yue Xunyi took out a piece of parchment from his arms, "As a general, this topographic map is not left for a moment, you can take it and look at it." ”

Gongsun Jian accepted the sketch and turned to leave.

Back to the camp, the two fighting soldiers were carrying their backs and ignoring anyone, seeing Gongsun Jian coming back from outside, both of them were at a loss, one of them thought he was dazzled, rubbed his eyes, turned around and opened the tent again, and found that there was really no one inside.

Gongsun Jian said hello and said with a smile: "Are you ready?" Who won? ”

The two were embarrassed for a while, and they didn't know what to say when they neglected their duties.

Gongsun Jian patted them on the shoulder, "Don't worry, no one knows that I'm out, even if I'm bumped in, it's none of your business, if someone mentions it too much, just grab me." ”

Gongsun Jian walked into the tent, spread the sketch on the bed, and carefully studied it.

Mianzhou is surrounded by mountains on all sides, the whole city is wrapped in mountains, the place where it is stationed at this time is the second mountain in front of Mianzhou, the first mountain is too close to the Mianzhou city gate, only 500 battles away.

When Yu Youjun first came to Mianzhou, he was worried that there was an ambush on the first mountain, so he stopped at this mountain, and now a month has passed, and I don't know if there is an ambush on the first mountain, it stands to reason that the mountain is a necessary place for the march, if Zhong Guan is not stupid, he must bury an ambush, but so far I don't know where the ambush is, either Zhong Guan is really stupid, or Zhong Guan has advanced a few points, and the ambush is so deep that Liu Qingyun can't find an old scout.

Gongsun Jian lay on the bed and followed the sketch with his hand, secretly pondering, it is definitely not advisable to attack the city head-on, he has seen the defense system of Mianzhou, the whole city is like an iron bucket surrounded by iron sheets, not leaking, solid as gold.

If you want to storm the city, the Zhongzhou army will face three major difficulties, one is the unknown ambush in the mountain in front of it, the second is the moat more than 30 zhang wide, and the third is the crossbow at the head of the city and the towering city wall.

The problem of ambush troops may be able to be crossed at a cost within the bearable range, but the moat of more than 30 zhang must be filled with human lives if you want to cross it, and when the Zhongzhou army hits the moat and builds a bridge, it is like ripe wheat in front of the farmer's family, let it be slaughtered, and it is estimated that in front of the moat alone, the Zhongzhou army will lose half of the men and horses. Not to mention that the city walls, which are much higher than the ladder, are more deadly, and if you want to attack the city, you can only use siege vehicles to hit it.

Three difficulties, except for the first ambush problem, the remaining two are to be filled with human lives, now the Zhongzhou army plus the Yingchuan Road defenders, the number of people is only more than 80,000, if there are too many losses in Mianzhou, even if Mianzhou is defeated, it is not possible to get involved in Jingzhou.

Facing the siege can only be regarded as the next strategy.

"Alas......"

Gongsun Jian sighed heavily, no wonder Yue Xunyi said that all the armies were preparing to make a detour, and in this case, they could only avoid the battle, and bypassing Mianzhou was the best plan, but this was only the middle strategy.

Gongsun Jian stared at the sketch tightly, he looked at the mountains outside Mianzhou, and there was a big doubt in his heart.

Yu Youjun's current idea is to avoid the war, from the second mountain behind the pass road can bypass Mianzhou, and then the army crosses Luoshui, pointing directly to Jingzhou, but such a grandiose detour, I am afraid it will cause a greater counterattack, the Xishu rebels can completely put the Zhongzhou army outside Jingzhou, and then Jingzhou and Mianzhou together to send troops to attack on both sides, unless the Zhongzhou soldiers are one enemy and three, otherwise the whole army will be annihilated!

"According to the character of the general, he should not take such a risk......"

Gongsun Jian muttered to himself, in the past, he still felt that there were a large number of 100,000 troops, and he had the potential to drive away wolves and tigers wherever he went, but now that he was fighting, he suddenly found that 100,000 people were not enough, and in front of the Shu State, which was mainly defensive, the 100,000 army was too little.

"That's not right!"

Gongsun Jian suddenly became alert, "Uncle Lin, Uncle Lin hasn't appeared for a long time!" By the way, there's also the plank road! ”

Gongsun Jian looked at the mountains on both sides of Mianzhou, and he suddenly remembered that Yue Xunyi and Zhang Da were now digging plank roads day and night!

"I see! I see! ”

He jumped up from the bed and laughed, "General Yu, General Yu, I'll just say, you will never do anything to let the soldiers sacrifice in vain, or take a risk." ”

Gongsun Jian laughed louder and louder, not noticing that there was a person behind him who had been watching him for a long time.

"It looks like I'm going to send a few more people to keep a close watch."

Gongsun Jian was startled, and when he looked back, Yu Youjun was behind him, looking at him with a smile.

Yu Youjun was holding some cooked food and two delicate wine jugs in his hand, "The two of them can't stand you anymore." ”

Gongsun Jian scratched his head in embarrassment, "It's none of their business, I sneaked out, General Yu, you also know that my martial arts are not low now, and it's quite easy to sneak out if you want to take the opportunity." ”

"From tomorrow onwards, I will send another soldier to watch you, and then order Yue Xunyi not to leave the plank road for half a step."

Gongsun Jian pursed his lips and took the cooked food and wine jug, "I'm also a member of the Zhongzhou Army, isn't it too much for you to not let me participate in the plan." ”

"I feel guilty about the incident outside Mianzhou City, so I think that you should recuperate from your injuries in this big battle, and when you get to Jingzhou, you will go out again, and then it will be handed over to us, anyway, this plan doesn't need too many generals to watch."

Gongsun Jian broke off a chicken leg, gobbled it up and said, "So you made a plan to put me under house arrest?" ”

Yu Youjun glared, "What are you kid talking about, if Lao Tzu wants to put you under house arrest, do you really think that with your three-legged cat's kung fu, you can really sneak out?" ”

Gongsun Jian snorted his mouth, with a look of disgust.

"Tell me, what do you see?"

Yu Youjun took a sip of wine, raised his eyelids and looked at the young general, if Gongsun Jian could really look at his purpose with some intelligence and sketches, then he had really grown to the point where he could personally lead the troops.

Gongsun Jian smiled mysteriously, "You have to tell me where Uncle Lin has gone first." ”

Yu Youjun hooked the corners of his mouth, "I can only tell you that your Uncle Lin is not in this plan." ”

Gongsun Jian narrowed his eyes, Lin Qiufeng was not in this plan, so where had he been all these days? Could it be that he can still see the scenery of Xishu and enjoy the scenery, this is not in line with the character of a great martial arts master, and Lin Qiufeng is not the kind of person who likes to join in the fun.

Yu Youjun couldn't see what this kid was thinking, he pointed to Gongsun Jian and was a little funny, "I won't let Uncle Lin participate in the affairs of the army for a long time, unless there is a battle of Dingguan, or the enemy has an invincible opponent, he will appear, otherwise his deep realm to kill pawns is a bit overkill, although this has a good reputation in the army, but when it spreads to the rivers and lakes, it is easy to be truthful, and a grandmaster like him who has touched a trace of the breath of the true realm, will be punished by God for killing people at will." ”

Gongsun Jian nodded, since his realm kept climbing, he also had a feeling of being bound, especially after having that mysterious and mysterious internal force, the whole person felt that he was imprisoned by something, and he couldn't use his fists and feet. He is a martial artist who is not up to the bottom of the martial arts, and the immortal character of Lin Qiufeng must feel it more profoundly.

"In fact, in the general's plan, Uncle Lin is just the icing on the cake, with him, he can ensure that the army of the plank road is not discovered, or with his superb martial arts, he can travel and survey in the mountains, but these things can be done by the scouts with some effort."

Yu Youjun raised his eyelids, "Tell me, what have you guessed?" ”

"Before I say that, I want to express my admiration and admiration for the general, it is like a five-body throw, like a rushing Luoshui endlessly."

Yu Youjun glared and scolded with a smile: "Don't talk nonsense." ”

Gongsun Jian smiled, "On the bright side, Sun Liangren and Xu Kangwei's army is going to make a detour, this is undoubtedly a trick, the real strength lies in the soldiers and horses on the plank road, compared to the soldiers and horses on the pass, it seems that there are few people, but in fact it is the most important." ”
