On the 28th day of the tenth year of the Yongxi Dynasty of the Yan Dynasty, Wang Zhiyuan, who had been out for many days, finally came back with Mingde, the two first went to Yangzhou, and then went to Hangzhou, and then rushed back to Jiangning all the way, and finally arrived before noon today.

Cao Yi, as a young master and junior, naturally wanted to set up a banquet for Uncle Wang and Tangtai Mingde, who were sleeping all the way, and all the maids of Qingyun Pavilion were naturally present as Wang Zhiyuan's disciples, but when Wang Zhiyuan saw that Yu Xuanji and her maid Jin'er were also present, he was also stunned for a while, and then got up and gave Yu Xuanji a glass, said hello, and said a few kind words. It made Yu Xuanji uneasy and embarrassed for a while, and at that moment Cao Yi told Wang Zhiyuan everything about himself and Yu Xuanji. And after saying Yu Xuanji, she changed her name to Yu Youwei, before Xuanji was just her stage name in Jinfeng Building, and Youwei was her name when she was a child, and changing her name to Yu Youwei also represents that she wants to say goodbye to Jinfeng Lou and Qing Qi's celebrity identity.

Yesterday afternoon and evening, Yu Youwei and Jin'er had already mingled with the girls of Qingyun Pavilion, and when they were in Jinfeng Building, Yu Youwei played the role of the eldest sister, and they were very good to Musk Yue and Raiders, and they were all taken care of as their own little sisters, and there was a very deep emotional foundation between them. And the red sleeves themselves have a very good personality, and Yu Youwei is also a person who is good at dancing with long sleeves, so they get along very well. Red Sleeves arranged Yu Youwei and Jin'er in the small courtyard next to Qingyun Pavilion, which was originally vacant, but someone still cleaned it every month, so yesterday it was just a little cleaning to move in, plus it was very close to Qingyun Pavilion, it can almost be said to be door-to-door, Yu Youwei is naturally very satisfied with this, and has always expressed her gratitude to Red Sleeves.

During the banquet, Yu Youwei saw that the other women called Wang Zhiyuan as a teacher, and her mind moved at that time, she had been thinking about how to completely integrate into Cao Yi's life, if it was still the same as before, it would definitely not work, not only would there be a sense of distance between her and Cao Yi, but also she couldn't really do anything for the latter, after a long time, she herself would not stay any longer, and she had to find something for herself to do to ensure that she could stay here for a long time in the future.

If she still relies on her appearance and popularity to do some performances in Zuixian Building, show up and continue to be a soap spokesperson, and then attract more customers to come, it's not impossible, but she is tired of this kind of life.

So the best way is to make yourself like the Red Sleeves and them, and become the kind of person who can help Cao Yi, and follow Cao Yi from now on.

After lunch, Cao Yi and Wang Zhiyuan were locked in the private seat, saying that they had important matters to discuss, so that others should not disturb.

"Cao Yi, you deliberately support others, but what important things do you want to tell me?" Wang Zhiyuan asked suspiciously.

Cao Yi nodded, with a solemn expression, took out the map from Yang Gong from his arms, handed it to Wang Zhiyuan, and said solemnly: "Uncle Wang, this marks the hiding place of the bandits who attacked Gongye Yuanzhou last time. ”

Wang Zhiyuan's expression moved, he took the map and looked at it carefully, stared at it for a long time before saying: "It's easy to defend and difficult to attack, and it's not easy to encircle and suppress ......."

Cao Yi nodded: "That's true, this map was given to me by the prefect Yang Gongbus, and he also said that the one who came out of the hunt and probed for more than a month only to find out that the bandits who attacked them in Yuanzhou were actually the group of extremely vicious thieves entrenched in the Soul Mountain!" ”

"What does this Soul Mountain say?"

"Well, according to Yang Gong, the bandits of this Lost Soul Mountain are extremely vicious, and they often directly rob and plunder the caravans and pedestrians in the past, and basically do not leave a living mouth, Jiangning Mansion and Taiping Prefecture have been jointly encircled and suppressed many times, but this bandit is very familiar with the local mountains and forests, once there is a large number of troops to encircle and suppress, they will disperse to and from the larger Linmu Mountain, Jiangmen Mountain and Baimao Mountain to hide, it is estimated that there are many of their small strongholds in the mountain, with food, often hide for ten days and half a month and do not come back, As soon as the army retreated, it came out again and continued to do evil, and after three or four unsuccessful encirclements and suppressions, the government finally had no choice but to give up......

"This kind of mountain bandits and robbers are only suitable for a small group of elite troops to quickly annihilate with the momentum of thunder, otherwise they will continue to escape and hide in the deep mountains and old forests, and when the time comes, when we leave, they will have a few stragglers left to be brave and brave, and they will not be able to live if they are afraid that they will not be able to live, and then they can only cause disaster to the surrounding villagers...... Wang Zhiyuan looked at the map and said worriedly. Good Mood Literature Network

"So I have only one request, that is, it is best to achieve zero casualties and completely annihilate them, not only to avenge Xiao Liuzi and them, but also to train our secret camp soldiers!" Cao Yi said decisively.

Wang Zhiyuan's expression was solemn, and he said slowly: "Then we have to make all preparations, and first send secret guards with outstanding reconnaissance ability to investigate clearly, but we have a Thousand Miles Divine Mirror, and the stationing and distribution of bandits, as well as the surrounding open and dark posts, can be discovered in advance, but in my judgment, they are just mountain bandits and bandits after all, unlike a disciplined army, there should be no secret sentinels, right?" ”

"Just assume that he has, be careful, after all, all the people in the secret camp are stunned now, and they have never been to the battlefield, so we can only achieve the minimum casualties by making all preparations, and now there are only five hundred people in total, and each one of them is extremely precious to me." Cao Yi said cautiously.

"Don't worry, Cao Yi, I will keep an eye on this matter, I will make the decision to lead the team, when the time comes, Yun Qing, Liu Baiqing, and Gongye Yuanzhou will all go out collectively, even if the soldiers they bring have never been on the battlefield, as long as they are willing to listen to the command, they will definitely be able to win the battle!" But...... As long as there is a war, there will be no casualties, and you should also prepare mentally in advance......" Wang Zhiyuan put away the map, stuffed it into his arms, and then patted Cao Yi on the shoulder and said.

Cao Yi nodded, there will naturally be casualties in the war, he naturally understands this truth, but there is still a lot of personal experience between understanding the truth and facing reality, Cao Yi has crossed over in the previous life of peace after all, and it can even be said that he has not seen dead people with his own eyes, unlike this era, although the Great Yan Dynasty has now unified the whole territory, but border wars have broken out from time to time, and there are many bandits and bandits in the territory, and even peasant uprisings and rebellions, and the world is not so peaceful.

Moreover, Cao Yi is only fifteen years old after all, and he has not seen too many deaths, nor is he like Wang Zhiyuan, Yunqing, Liu Baiqing and others, who have desperately survived all kinds of battles and deaths, and have long been accustomed to seeing all kinds of life and death. For them, veterans of a hundred battles, it is too rare and ordinary for a few people to die in every war, because they don't even know which battle they may not be able to survive and die like this.

"I understand the truth, I am not a woman's benevolence, I can't see people die, I just don't want them to die silently when they are still unknown, I have lived with them for more than a month, how I hope that in the future, they can all get ahead, make some achievements, be able to make contributions, and be able to glorify their ancestors......" Cao Yi said a little unbearable.

Wang Zhiyuan patted Cao Yi's shoulder again, but he didn't say anything.

After a while, Wang Zhiyuan said: "Tangtai Mingde is a good seedling, this time I took him out for a walk, he has grown a lot of knowledge, and the angle of looking at things is not like his age at all, and there are often amazing words, although not every time is right, but careful thinking, but there is also merit, it can be seen that it is also after his own thinking, it is a material that can be made." I'll go to the secret camp in the afternoon, and I'll leave him to you, and you don't have to wait for me to celebrate the New Year......"

"Uncle Wang, this is about to be the New Year, and there is no hurry to encircle and suppress the bandits, why don't you talk about it after the New Year?" Cao Yi said anxiously.

Wang Zhiyuan smiled and said to Cao Yi: "Cao Yi, think about it again, even you, a person who is bent on encircling and suppressing bandits, are not willing to attack them now, so do you think that the bandits will think that someone will attack them during the Chinese New Year?" After all, it is normal for people to come to them for trouble! ”

Wang Zhiyuan drank the tea in front of him and continued: "If you want the least casualties to encircle them and capture their soul village, then Chinese New Year's Eve is the best time, everyone will celebrate on this night, even the thieves will not be exempt, and we just need to wait for them to eat and drink, get drunk, and then outflank them from all directions, and we will definitely be able to annihilate them in groups!" ”

Cao Yi grew his mouth, wanted to say something but didn't know how to say it, and after a while, he said, "That...... That's it, but Chinese New Year's Eve will be here soon, and there is not much time left for us, but it is necessary to investigate the situation of the bandits, and if Yunqing and Liu Baiqing both feel that those young men are not enough to take on this important task, then postpone the encirclement and suppression, I don't want them to be pushed up and sent to death in advance because their combat strength has not yet been trained home......"
