It is easy to do things with people, and the people inside can let the people of the inner staff call, and the people outside can let the guards to inform.

Qi Liang called Liu Dexiang, who was on duty, and ordered: "Dexiang! Go and call General Hu Guozhu! ”

Liu Dexiang went with a "promise", and now the Flying Leopard Group has completely taken over Qi Liang's security work, they are divided into six shifts of seven people per shift to guard around the clock, and there are additional guards when Qi Liang goes out.

Qi Liang waited for Hu Guozhu's arrival with peace of mind, and the chamberlain Zhao Yang poured him a cup of mellow tea, Qi Liang took a sip, glanced at the delicate Zhao Yang and asked, "Zhao Yang!" How old is it? ”

Zhao Yang said respectfully: "The slave is seventeen this year!" "He was originally a person from the Efu Epistle Hall, and he often delivered letters for Qi Liang, Qi Liang felt that he was clever, so he asked him by name this time. Originally, the others were going to let the eunuchs of the Flattering Division come to serve Qi Liang, but Qi Liang decided not to use eunuchs from now on.

Qi Liang smiled: "One year older than Xiao Liuzi, how about I call you Xiao Qizi in the future?" Speaking of Xiao Liuzi, he couldn't help but feel sad, and there was no news from him until now.

Zhao Yang said happily: "Xie Shizi gave the name!" From now on, the slave will be the little seventh son! Raising his eyes and seeing Qi Liang's face, Zhishizi remembered Xiao Liuzi, he retreated quietly and prefecturally, just as Hu Guozhu came in, Qi Liang collected his attention, and immediately smiled: "Little Qizi!" Serve tea to General Hu! ”

"Knock on the son of the world!" Hu Guozhu bowed, "I don't know what is the important matter for the prince to summon the lowly to come?" ”

Qi Liang asked Hu Guozhu to sit down and said, "General! The Qing army in the northern Hunan area has basically been cleared, but there is still a Mongolian cavalry still wandering in the territory, if they cannot be eliminated, they must also be driven to Jiangbei, otherwise, it is rare for the rear of our army to be peaceful! ”

Hu Guozhu said: "What the prince said is exact! But how easy is it to destroy them? With a sad face, I think I have been worrying about this matter.

Qi Liang thought so: "Come without a trace, go without a shadow, like a dragon on the mountain, you can't see or touch it, but the harm is great!" If you want to destroy them, the only way to do it is to lure them away! ”

Hu Guozhu asked with interest: "How to lure and destroy?" ”

"Attract them, surround them, and annihilate them!" Qi Liang picked up the teacup and moistened his mouth.

Hu Guozhu was distressed: "It's difficult! What could have attracted the Mongol cavalry? ”

Qi Liang said: "One is grain and grass!" ”

Hu Guozhu immediately shook his head: "Nominally, this Mongolian cavalry is the army of the imperial court, and it is easy for them to raise grain and grass in various villages, offices, towns, and counties, even if these public offices and yamen cannot provide grain and grass, they can also rob and plunder the people, and they have always done so, so they are not short of food at all." ”

Qi Liang's expression was awe-inspiring, he looked up, and said slowly: "The other is Xiao Wang!" ”

Hu Guozhu was surprised: "The prince wants to tempt each other with his body? This was indeed a rather attractive bait, but it was too risky, and he quickly shook his head: "No! Humble duty will never put the son at risk! At the same time, he also deeply admired Qi Liang, who dared to do and take responsibility, and was talented!

"Is there any other way for the general to make a decision?" Qi Liang turned his gaze to Hu Guozhu, "If we can't clear this Mongolian cavalry as soon as possible, how can our army take care of him?" ”

"But this move is too dangerous, if it ......" Hu Guozhu thought about the consequences, and he was afraid for a while.

Qi Liang was full of confidence: "As long as the plan is thorough and the measures are effective, where is the danger?" Waved his hand: "Needless to say, Xiao Wang has made up his mind, so let's do it!" ”

Hu Guozhu glanced at Qi Liang deeply, took his cup of tea on the table and drank it all, thought for a moment and said: "You can set up an ambush in Xiangshi Valley to lure and annihilate this Mongolian cavalry!" ”

Qi Liang unfolded the map, Hu Guozhu pointed to a place on the map, and said: "Xiangshi Valley is the only place to go north to Hubei, where the woods are dense, which is conducive to Tibetan soldiers, but the terrain is not high, and it is suitable for cavalry activities. ”

Qi Liang pondered for a while, knocked twice on the word "auspicious stone" on the map, and said, "It's here!" I'll lead a thousand soldiers here to lure the enemy! ”

Hu Guozhu immediately said: "The humble leader of the four thousand infantry is hidden on both sides!" General Tang Daomu led the three Chong Guanning iron cavalry to hide in Liujia Village, five miles away, and used the smoke of the three pillars as a signal to annihilate the Mongolian cavalry! ”

How did you come up with an action plan so quickly? Qi Liang glanced at Hu Guozhu strangely, I don't know if he was quick thinking or had planned it a long time ago? smiled: "If you can't completely annihilate this Mongolian cavalry this time, you will definitely let them lose more than half of them and scare back to Jiangbei!" ”

Hu Guozhu said again: "Our army can pretend to go north to attack Hubei, the army will go first, and the Shiziwei army will follow, which can make the Mongolian cavalry bold to attack!" ”

Qi Liang praised: "Very good! ”

Next, the two discussed many details of the ambush in detail, and the deeper the discussion between the two, the more unhappy Qi Liang became, he felt that Hu Guozhu had already planned with "using him as bait", and he felt that he had been tricked by a monkey!

The spring sun is warm, and people don't want to move anymore when they bask in the sun. There is a large army on the avenue, the flag is displayed, a big flag is particularly conspicuous, fluttering in the wind, and the three words "Wu Yingxiong" are written on it, for fear that people will not know whose army this is.

Qi Liang was riding on a gray horse, his face flushed with sunburn, like a woman smeared rouge. He loosened his armor, his underwear was covered with sweat, and he shook his helmet, and his ears and cheeks were so hot that he felt uncomfortable. "Why hasn't there been any movement yet?" He looked around, and saw that although the soldiers were sweating, everyone was still neatly dressed and in good spirits, and he was embarrassed to put on his helmets and hats.

They had been walking on the road in this way for two days, and Hu Guozhu and Tang Daomu's army had already entered the ambush site a day earlier, and the spies who were scouting around had sent back news that the Mongol cavalry had appeared within fifty miles, and Qi Liang was pleased to know that the Mongol cavalry had been hooked, and he was patiently waiting for their appearance.

Ten miles further away is the Xiangshi Valley, and the troops cannot move forward, and if they go any further, they will lose the meaning of luring the enemy. It was already noon, Qi Liang ordered the troops to stop and prepare for dinner, he had a premonition that the Mongol cavalry was coming, and under normal circumstances, the attack would be launched when the opponent was most lax and defenseless, and the time to cook was undoubtedly such a good time.

The smoke curled up, the soldiers rested in twos and threes, Qi Liang drank water in a big gulp, a fast horse raised a puff of dust and smoke and rushed to him, and immediately the spy rolled off the horse with a light movement, and knelt on one knee to report: "Shizi!" Twenty miles to the southeast found Mongol cavalry! ”

Qi Liang wiped the water from the corner of his mouth and asked urgently, "But Mercedes-Benz came?" ”

"Exactly!"

Qi Liang smiled knowingly, and immediately ordered: "Kick off the earthen stove, abandon the heavy objects, and run forward!" ”

Half an hour later, the Mongol cavalry arrived, and saw that the ground was full of things, such as helmets, knives and guns, pots and pans, and a few bags of rice. A bearded man who looked like a commander jumped off the horse and opened the pot to see, the rice inside was half-cooked, and the fire in the earthen stove had not been completely extinguished. The Wu dog thief hasn't run away yet! ”

The Mongolian cavalry watched the Wu army enter the valley, and the big banner with the words "Wu Yingxiong" fell down, and the Mongols excitedly waved their scimitars and shouted "whooping", like a whirlwind, and like a flood tail chasing into the valley.

The Wu army in front of them was still running, and they could see the figure of the Wu army, but they felt that it was so far away that they could never reach it, and a rain of arrows pouring down from both sides was the curtain barrier that blocked them.
