In the night sky, the black dark clouds covered the sky and the moon, and the earth was pitch black, Hu Yanzhuo looked up at the sky, the dullness in his heart was even heavier, Gao Lian had already made up his mind, he must launch an attack on Liangshan tomorrow, and he would directly attack Liangshan to kill all the thieves in one go.

But......!

Hu Yanzhuo is a brave general, but not a reckless general, the Huyan family has been a famous general for generations, and he has been familiar with military books since he was a child, and he has been carefully taught by the elder generals, he is not only strong in martial arts, strategic, but also deeply understands the many truths of marching and fighting, one of the most important is that an excellent general must be able to know mistakes and be good at correcting, and be good at knowing mistakes and being good at reforming!

Because the situation on the battlefield is often unpredictable, and the combat strategy that has just been formulated today may be found to be useless tomorrow, generals need to make adjustments at any time according to changes in all objective conditions on both sides and in the outside world, and this requires generals to have the courage and courage to recognize their mistakes and admit them.

On the contrary, it is also the most taboo to know that the situation has changed in an unknown way, but still arrogantly adhere to outdated strategies.

When he received the decree of the imperial court, he thought that the Liangshan bandits were just a group of ordinary thieves, that is, they occupied a dangerous place, and the number of people was slightly more than that of ordinary bandits, so he confidently said to Gao Yu that he only needed 10,000 horses to level Liangshan, but what happened next was beyond his expectations.

First of all, according to his plan, the army assembled as soon as possible, and it was the best policy to exterminate the Liangshan bandit Kou before the cold winter came, but when he took the army thousands of miles away, he came to Gaotang Prefecture in a hurry, but found that the entire coalition army was not ready even with food, grass, siege equipment and other necessities, which was delayed for nearly a month, and finally dragged the time of the coalition army assembly into the deep winter!

Sending troops in winter is a taboo for soldiers, Hu Yanzhuo was reluctant in his heart, he wanted to wait for the time being, and wait until the spring to suppress the bandits, but he was only a deputy marshal, he couldn't be the master, and the commander of the coalition army was eager to launch an attack before the New Year to exterminate Liangshan, so that he could report this battle to the court as a congratulatory gift, so as to win the joy of Longyan,

Hu Yanzhuo had no choice but to make concessions, but who knows, today's destruction of the two state armies of Bozhou and Puzhou has given Hu Yanzhuo a heavy blow!

He suddenly realized that he was wrong, judging from the process of the attack on the two state troops, he was keenly aware that the Liangshan bandits were not just an ordinary group of thieves, they had tactics, organization, strategy, and even lack of courage!

The fangs suddenly exposed by the mysterious Liangshan bandit completely disrupted Hu Yanzhuo's plan, he realized his mistake, thinking that now was definitely not a good time to attack, at least it would take a few more days to find out the true situation of the Liangshan bandit before he could continue to attack.

But Gao Lian didn't listen to him at all, at this time, Gao Lian had been angry by the destruction of the Pu and Bo state armies and was eager to break through Liangshan to cover up the defeat and avoid the fear of the imperial court's accountability, and even still had luck in his heart, and wanted to kill the thieves before the New Year to present the emperor's quick success, and he turned a blind eye to the many unfavorable signals that had been exposed, which was the most taboo thing for a coach!

Hu Yanzhuo left the cheap tent helplessly, and when he walked outside, he found that even God seemed to be working against him. This heavy snowfall, the attack is even more difficult......

Thinking of this, Hu Yanzhuo's heart suddenly jumped, he looked forward to not snowing every day these days, but now it seems that snow seems to have become a good thing, because as long as it snows heavily, even if Gao Lian is no longer willing, the attack of the coalition army must be stopped!

However, Hu Yanzhuo didn't dare to pin all his hopes on God, he also had to prepare in advance, if God didn't help, even if he opposed the immediate suppression of bandits, he must do his best to help Gao Lian win, even at any cost!

This is his duty, and it is also his fate as a deputy marshal!

"Hurry up and invite General Han Tao and General Peng Xi to come to my camp!" Hu Yanzhuo stopped and said to a guard behind him, and continued to walk in the direction of his camp, and after a while, he disappeared into the endless darkness.

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

At dawn, Hu Yanzhuo walked out of the camp with Han Tao and Peng Xi, because they hadn't slept all night, their eyes were bloodshot, and their faces were full of tiredness.

Hu Yanzhuo first raised his head to look in the air, and the corners of his mouth immediately showed a hint of joy, it turned out that the sky was bright at this time, but seeing the dark clouds, covering the sky and the sun, it looked like a heavy snow was brewing!

"Okay, God help me!" Hu Yanzhuo smiled,

Han Tao and Peng Xi were also full of joy, and Han Tao said, "Big brother, as long as it snows, you can delay it for three or five days!" Big brother can also have plenty of time! ”

Hu Yanzhuo's mood immediately improved, "Let's go, go to the coach." ”

After that, the three of them walked together in the direction of the cheap tent,

As soon as he came to the camp tent, he saw that there were already five or six sergeants waiting outside the camp tent leading their horses, and it seemed that the commanders of the other state armies had also arrived.

The three of them walked into the camp tent, and sure enough, they saw Gao Lian sitting in the main seat, and on both sides sat several state army regimental training envoys, county commanders and other officials and generals, but except for Gao Lian, everyone's face was a little ugly, and the atmosphere in the camp tent was also inexplicably depressed, presumably they had already received the news that the Puzhou and Bozhou state armies were attacked.

"General Huyan came just in time, and Ben Shuai was about to send someone to invite you." Gao Lian first said,

When everyone saw that Hu Yan was burning, they all hurriedly got up and clasped their fists to salute.

Hu Yanzhuo was in a good mood, saluted one by one, and then walked in front of Gao Lian and said, "Boss, about today's expedition, I have something to report." ”

Gao Lian seemed to be in a good mood, "Don't worry, General Huyan will take a seat first, and the commander also has something to tell General Huyan." ”

Hu Yanzhuo couldn't help but feel a little strange when he saw it, how did Gao Lian become so easy overnight? He had no choice but to sit down first.

Gao Lian said, "Everyone, early this morning, Ben Shuai got a good thing. ”

After that, Gao Lian clapped his hands and shouted, "Bring it up." ”

Everyone looked towards the tent door together, only to see two sergeants walking in with a man, who knelt down in front of Gao Lian and kowtowed three times, "Sinner Liu Ting pays a visit to Lord Gao." ”

Gao Lian nodded, "Is the map ready?" ”

Liu Ting nodded again and again, "The painting is finished, the painting is finished, and as he spoke, he took out a piece of white paper from his arms and held it above his head with both hands.

Someone immediately took the white paper and unfolded it on the table in front of Gao Lian, Gao Lian immediately nodded with joy when he saw it, "Okay, good, good!" As soon as he looked up, he saw Hu Yanzhuo and others looking at him suspiciously, and then smiled, "Everyone, this person's name is Liu Ting, he used to be a thief on Liangshan, and then he didn't want to be a bad guy anymore, so he went down the mountain and came to Yuncheng County under the pseudonym Liu Ding, he heard that our army came to exterminate the Liangshan bandits, and he came to see this official early this morning, saying that he is very familiar with the terrain of Liangshan, and is willing to make meritorious service and lead my army to attack Liangshan, this is the Liangshan mountain map he just spent for us." Come on, let's take a look. ”

Hu Yanzhuo then understood why Gao Lian was so happy, he immediately got up with everyone to look at the map on the bookcase, only to see that although the map was not detailed enough, but where there was a place on Liangshan, and how many roads up the mountain were clearly marked, especially where there were fortifications and how many people would handle them.

Hu Yanzhuo could see at a glance that this map was real, almost the same as the map of Liangshan that he had ordered someone to draw when he was in Gaotang Prefecture before, and even more valuable than his own in terms of actual content!

I only heard Gao Lian smile again, "Everyone, this is God helping me to wait!" With this map and this person leading the way, our plan to suppress bandits is already half the effort! ”

Everyone also showed joy on their faces, and said hello to Gao Lian again and again,

At this time, he heard Hu Yanzhuo say, "Boss, this is exactly what I wanted to say just now, and we have to stop suppressing bandits for the time being." ”

The hall was silent,

Gao Lian's face sank slightly, "General Huyan, how can you say this?" ”

Hu Yanzhuo pointed to the heavenly path outside, "Boss, please look outside, heavy snow is coming, and attacking the mountain is extremely unfavorable at this time, please hold off for a few days!" ”

Gao Lian frowned and looked outside, but he waved his hand indifferently, "It's just a cloudy day, if it doesn't go down, wouldn't it delay the timing ......,"

At this moment, I suddenly heard a person at the door shouting in surprise, "It's sunny, the boss looks, the sun is out!" ”

Hu Yanzhuo's heart was shocked, how is this possible?! He hurriedly turned around and walked out, and when he came outside, he looked up, his face was suddenly as ugly as dead ashes, and he saw the sky in the distance, on the edge of the dark clouds, a brilliant and dazzling sunlight penetrated the dark clouds, and the originally dim heaven and earth instantly brightened, and now no matter how you look at this day, it seems that it will not snow anymore.

"Hahaha!" Gao Lian laughed and said, "This is providence! This is God, and we want to send troops to Liangshan! ”

Then the crowd echoed the voice,

Hu Yanzhuo was silent for a moment, and finally sighed, turned his head to look at Han Tao and Peng Xi, who were following him, who also had very ugly faces, and barely squeezed out a smile, "Two brothers, it seems that ...... Let's just follow our plan last night! ”
